The military conducts and commissions studies on every scenario that their little brass bars and stars can think of.
Don't interupt the fear, someone is coming to get them any minute.
Yes the government/military looks at all possible situations and plans for them, the same people freaking over this would whine if they had no answer if something did happen. We practiced riot control while I was in the Army and it was not the job of the Army to control riots then either.
Sorry to disappoint folks, but the sky is not falling, you can come out from under your beds now.

What a complete waste of time and money. I wonder how much the consultant was paid? I think stuff like this comes under the catagory of "waste, fraud and abuse".

Was your Army "riot training" in preparation for a "police force" for the "stability" of the American public? I highly doubt it, therefore your experience is irrelevant.
Anything that even remotely asserts that a military "police force" is needed to ensure the "stablity" of the American public should have you wondering what the hell is going on that our government believes that such a contingency is necessary.

I just think it's cute that people actually believe any plans against a revolting public would be effective at all. I guess "hope" is exists for certain Army officials too.
The main thing I take away from this is to keep a vigilant watch on those lawmakers who attempt to repeal or water-down the Posse Comitatus Act. If/when that occurs, then we will know that the government has indeed embarked on a path ushered in by this study.
Not only that but question your representatives about this study at townhall meetings and get a feel as to if they support a police state.
We see how well this US worldwide police force idea worked in Afgh/Pakistan/Iraq. Our troops were issued orders that they couldn't shoot back at those who were firing at them as soon as they dropped their weapons. Couldn't take out the enemy who were planting roadside bombs but had to watch instead. And when the so called friendlies we were training got a chance they killed their trainers, threw down their arms and ran from the scene (of that hotel invasion), stole arms and sold them some ending up on our Mexican border, etc. Waste of our time, lives, and money as nothing has changed there and a terrible position to put our troops in whose presence actually makes us more enemies.
These terrorists have a deadly mental attitude that needs straightening out. Until we convince them that they shouldn't teach their young kids in schools, at home, and in mosques, the pursuit of terrorism as glorious to the spread of their oppressive philosophy whatever we do will only be a band-aid. Send psychiatrists instead.
