From the Rodney King riots to unannounced “training” exercises over American cities, the US military is being trained to turn the United States into a dictatorship.

Here you see the local police, dressed up like Nazi thugs, lined up military fashion to join the war games. Across America our “peace officers” have transformed into “law enforcers.” Whereas the blue and white garbed friendly policeman of the past was someone you might call to help rescue your cat out of the tree or invite in for a cup of coffee, law-abiding Americans now dread a visit from the ski-masked, jackbooted thugs. Over and over again, the innocent are victimized by out-of-control police “forces” that repeatedly raid the wrong houses, violate the Fourth Amendment, stooping so low as to shoot family dogs. Think that the way the police in this picture look like the military is a coincidence? Think again. The move to militarize the police has been snowballing over recent years. Police now train like the military, dress like the military, use military weapons and call citizens “civilians”. And of course they have been working with the military, as they are prepared to turn America in to a Police State.

This violent attack by the police of Galveston Texas demonstrates yet again the Police State is here. This attack should not have happened even if she was an adult.Call the Galveston Police Now express your outrage as this type of type attack should never happen to any one.

A girl’s family has filed a lawsuit against Galveston police for their assault on their 12-year-old daughter after mistaking her for a prostitute.

As the girl, Dymond Milburn, walked in her front yard, three men jumped out of a van and beat her about the face and throat, one of them telling her, “You’re a prostitute. You’re coming with me.”

Police attacked Milburn despite the fact that she didn’t fit the racial description of their suspects: three white prostitutes and a black drug dealer.

Three weeks after Milburn was hospitalized for her injuries, police went to her school and arrested her for assaulting an officer during the incident.

The incident occurred two years ago, and since then, Milburn has suffered behavioral problems, nightmares and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The lawsuit against the officers also alleges that the men thought Dymond, an African-American, was a hooker because of the “tight shorts” she was wearing. Police have not yet apologized for the incident.

The case has gone to trial, but the judge declared a mistrial the first day and a new trial is set for February.

“I think we’ll be okay,” said Anthony Griffin, Milburn’s attorney. “I don’t think a jury will find a 12-year-old girl guilty who’s just sitting outside her house. Any 12-year-old attacked by three men and told that she’s a prostitute is going to scream and yell for Daddy and hit back and do whatever she can. She’s scared to death.”

The officers’ lawyer, William Helfand, said Milburn’s father had also been arrested for attacking the officers after his daughter called for him when the police attacked her. Helfand said both would face consequences for their actions.

“It’s unfortunate that sometimes police officers have to use force against people who are using force against them. And the evidence will show that both these folks violated the law and forcefully resisted arrest,” Helfand said.

One blogger defended the story from accusations that it was a hoax because it has not been picked up by the national media and many of the facts come from the Milburn’s attorney.

But the blogger points out that neither the Galveston police department nor the Galveston district attorney’s office have responded to inquiries about the case.

As for the mainstream press, he asks. “Why don’t 90 percent of the abuses of power we look at on this site get covered by the national media?”

Ann Dejarnett went about her shopping at the Kroger on Whitlock Avenue in Marietta with a lot more comfort knowing there was an extra pair of eyes watching.

The Marietta police department’s Skywatch Tower was high above the parking lot Monday afternoon. The tower moves around the city to various store parking lots.

“You feel comfortable knowing the police are out here,” Dejarnett said while loading a cart full of groceries into her car. “At this time of year, people make a lot of purchases and they want to be safe.”

The Skywatch Tower, in use since February, is a $79,000 mobile unit manned by police officers. Police say its presence alone deters crime.

In addition to the tower, Marietta police are using electronic signs in the parking lots of stores, alerting shoppers to lock their cars and put valuables in their trunk or out of sight.

During the peak of the holiday shopping season, police are mindful of the spike in robberies. Late last month, Cobb police received a report about a tactic commonly used in some car thefts.

The suspects usually flatten a tire by pulling the air inflation stem, then wait for the owner. The suspects offer to help the owner, and once inside the car, will steal items from the car.

Authorities say it’s better to contact someone you know to help in an emergency. If you suspect a scam, contact the police.

As they do every year, Cobb police will increase patrols at Town Center and Cumberland malls throughout the month. “We want to be more visible and put the public at ease,” Sgt. Dana Pierce said. “There is a lot of focus on street robberies. We are looking for criminal activity.”

While increased police presence is comforting, some shoppers don’t want overkill.

“When you see a lot of police it makes you nervous that something has happened before,” said Kroger shopper Janet Knautz. “When you find out that it is safe and they are patrolling, you are a little more comfortable.”
