Had to adjust my little shiny hat and ponder this. BHO clearly intends to marginalize State and local LE and attempt to create Federal LE in their place.....oh what power then! Unfortunately, in Oregon we have Kate Brown. I oppose militarization of local LE but some of the equipment we have garnered is very useful. I think the ability for local (State included) LE to be able to rise to the appropriate level of force climbing the continuum of force in today's environment is increasingly necessary. We continue to need conversation between LE and members of the community. A return to the basic concepts of "Community Policing" would be good. Training Training Training. Remember Garland,TX! What bothers me the most is the fact that so many Federal bureaucratic agencies now have SWAT teams. When SHTF folks, no help is coming. Take no prisoners.
