US Army Special Forces Now Training with Local Police in Secret Joint Effort

US Army Special Forces Now Training with Local Police in Secret Joint Effort

Share2.6KTweet155Share3.3K25Email60

Unwarranted NSA surveillance, the passage of NDAA, stop and frisk programs, and the rise of warrior cops, have essentially turned America into a centralized police state.

Blurring the lines between the U.S. military and local sheriff departments sets a dangerous precedent that erodes freedom and civil liberties.

Those lines are being blurred right now in South Carolina.

According to The State, the Richland County Sheriff’s Department will participate in secretive joint exercise Monday and Tuesday with unnamed units from Ft. Bragg.

The drills are scheduled to run up to midnight on both days and occur primarily in Lower Richland, around Hopkins and Eastover. Exercises will also take place around the Screaming Eagle Road near Elgin and North Richland County near outbound Monticello Road.

According to The State, a sheriff’s department spokesman refused to provide which units from Ft. Bragg are involved. Ft. Bragg is home to the U.S. Army’s elite groups, including the Special Forces and Delta Force.



The spokesman also said the drills would be noisy at times.

“Citizens may see military and departmental vehicles traveling in and around rural and metropolitan areas and may hear ordnance being set off or fired which will be simulated/ blanks and controlled by trained personnel,” a sheriff’s department press release said.

The secretive exercises are off limits to the media, reports The Activist Post.

The implications are serious.

Locally elected Sheriffs take an oath to uphold, preserve, and defend the Constitution. They are not an extension of the centralized federal government. They have the ultimate say in their county as the top law enforcement officer.

If sheriff deputies engage an enemy in conjunction with the U.S. military who do they take orders from? The ARMY commander? Or their Sheriff?

This violates the separation of local authorities and the federal government. If the separation of powers are eliminated, who will protect the Constitutional rights of citizens?

Contact the Richland County Sheriff’s Department and feel free to express disapproval with local police working with the US military like this. Here’s their contact information:

Sheriff Leon Lott
5623 Two Notch Road
Columbia, South Carolina 29223
(803) 576-3000 phone (803) 576-3195 fax
sheriff@rcsd.net

Add this to the infowars crap about secret military maneuvers I'm Houston, Phoenix and Miami. According to some of those freaks black helicopters were doing gun runs down the interstate and there were russian and czech troops patrolling the streets. Bunch of crazy people over there.

Tinfoil Hat Crowd Article by Joshua Cook

I was just reading that myself...... by Joshua Cook I seriously doubt after reading it that Joshua Cook has ever met a Special Forces soldier and he might wet his pants if he knew all the places in the United States we've trained..... I guess Joshua Cook has not yet read our Second Amendment letter...... Someone with a Facebook account log onto that website and invite Joshua Cook here to our website, he is in need of a little Special Forces education.

I just went over there and posted, I invited Joshua Cook to come and talk to us.

Thank you well said!!!! Something of what MSM and many others do. Let's play off what is currently hot and hit that as a talking points.

Nothing to see here, move on.

Well I thought I posted, I guess the moderators didn't like my post and decided not to allow it. Some much for attempting to help the tinfoil hat crowd.

I made that mistake at infowars. They had a article on military units training In Phoenix. No matter what i said or any logical argument they were all convinced the military was planning to start killing civilians. They are as bad as the liberal anti gun nuts.

Joshua Cook and his audience (as well as the Infowars crowd) would undoubtably benefit from the education they would receive here - certainly as pertains to anything SF.

The only headache might be moderating some of the whacky stuff they might contribute.

I hope I'm wrong, but the country is going to need all the help it can get if Hillary gets in and appoints a new Justice or two to the Supreme Court...and I hear the Obama's like DC.

Where do they think the US Army trains, overseas?

Between UW exercises like Robin Sage, intel exercises, and urban training, (most of which benefit the locals as much as anybody) we are almost constantly training someone off post.

Hell, Robin Sage robbed a bank one day in broad daylight and has previously snatched Sheriffs. That was pretty cool.

Well said TR. It's pretty frightening that some people actually believe some of the things mentioned in Max_Tab's post.

That's not even the worst part. Some of them were advocating shooting at the helicopters. Pretty sure most of them were blowhards, but that fact that they were taking about it was disturbing.

All of these off-post training events are rigorously scrutinized. The prior coordination is extensive and the approval process is painful. Off the top of my head, I don't remember the number for the DoDI but everybody between the SFG(A) and DoD has added to it. End result, an ODA wanting to train off of a Federal Installation had better be really serious about it because it will have grown into a royal PITA long before execution date. Hell - certain types of exercise require Congressional notification prior to approval to execute. And all of the measures emplaced are designed to prevent even the perception of what this irresponsible article is suggesting.

Lord, save me from the ravings of idiots.
