Current Mood: | On a civillian national police or "national security" force What I would like to do here is talk about obama's call for a civillian national security force. Now I am starting a separate thread on this as I do not want comment on obama at all, I don't want this to be a thread on the man. I want to discuss what your feelings are regarding this.
Key points I am looking for.
1. What do you think this would/should encompass?
2. Who would they protect us against.
3. Who would it be made up of?
4. How will it be paid for?
5. How will it coexist with a police force
6. Do you think we even need one AKA is this a good idea.
Thank you all for participating.

One-ah-ah-ah. Two-ah-ah-ah. Thrrrrrrrree, ah-ah-ah. Three threads!
Next we can talk about the same topic but ask only how women feel about it. We can call it the "view from the View about civilian national police". |

zyph as I said in this thread and where I posted it. I want this to be a discussion on a national police or security force, not on obama's plan for one...
There is a key fundamental difference here that none of the other threads addressed.
thank you. |

As I said, its a variation and enough that I haven't merged them. Was just giving fair warning that if you continue to post more, and the variation is not enough to warrant its own thread, it will be merged. |

Current Mood: | Re: On a civillian national police or "national security" force Very well....
Let me clarify what you quoted.
I don't want to talk about obama, or obama's plan to, I would like to discuss the very idea of a civillian national police force.
Thank you. |

| 1. Well it probably is more than CETA raking leaves in the forest or sweeping sand down the street from my house when Cotter Pin was president, or like Joseph Califano wanted, tagging people at the beach and telling them to leave when they have had too much Sun.
2. They would protect us from leaves in the forest, sand in the street, the Sun, and Republican States Rights.
3. Che worshipers.
4. Taxes.
5. It will dominate the police force and We the People.
6. No.

Yeah, a wall and a border patrol will protect us. {sound of laughter} |

Current Mood: | Re: On a civillian national police or "national security" force Are you talking about this: Quote: Link
Integrate Military and Civilian Efforts: An Obama-Biden administration will build up the capacity of each non-Pentagon agency to deploy personnel and area experts where they are needed, to help move soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines out of civilian roles.
Create a Civilian Assistance Corps (CAC): An Obama-Biden administration will set a goal of creating a national CAC of 25,000 personnel. This corps of civilian volunteers with special skill, sets (doctors, lawyers, engineers, city planners, agriculture specialists, police, etc.) would be organized to provide each federal agency with a pool of volunteer experts willing to deploy in times of need at home and abroad.
| It doesn't appear it's a security force.
