You might remember back in March there was the story of the US Army soldiers policing the streets of Samson, Alabama. Now there’s this story from The Obama Files for May 6th.

Military Police in combat fatigues and sidearms restraining a man at the Kentucky Derby.

The military has no business policing citizens except during extraordinarily exceptional times of national emergency by an executive order. This is very disturbing and completely un-American. Maybe even more disturbing is that no one seems to care how quietly and easily we have accepted the burgeoning police state.

The presence of uniformed and armed military police at the Kentucky Derby is part of an ongoing campaign to acclimate the populace to the presence of soldiers at public events.
