If she's talkin' about what I think she's talkin' about, Right On, Sister.

In addition to the indefinite military detention of Americans, the US military is paving the way for bypassing Posse Comitatus, the 1878 law that forbids the US military from being used in domestic law enforcement. A recent Department of Defense instruction gives the green light for US troops to quell “civil disturbances” domestically without any presidential authorization (the site of armored vehicles and what amounted to martial law on the streets following the Boston Marathon bombing did little to inspire confidence among those paying attention, who see a definite move toward the militarization of America’s police forces). What better way to employ all those military personnel returning home from their tours in Afghanistan and Iraq than to assign them positions in local police forces?
