Interesting. He's also boosting US military presence in the US as well. Maybe to put down any pesky teabagger revolts?

A dead teabagger is a good teabagger. That doesn't require cops though, just time. Most of them are old and diabetic. Maybe an insulin embargo?

You don't have to jump down my throat, BUT do you really think the goal of this party or administration is to turn the US into a police state?

Consider that the person in question seems not to understand the difference between the military and local police. Hollywood needs to do a better job at selling America around the world. We are far beyond flashing blue light cruisers and yellow school buses...
