US Postal Service stocks up on ammo...

Sounds like entitlement fever has set in.

Sounds like you've never worked a day on your feet with your hands.

Well they did have Special Weapons.

It's not easy being a Fed and working with your hands.

Different beauracires deal with different crimes, Border Patrol does not have the experience or expertise to adquatley investigate student loan fraud, conversely the Department of Education would be ill equipped to patrol the SW border.

I'm okay with border patrol. Department of Education? Eh, I'm pretty sure they should just call the cops if they run into trouble.

BLM went through the courts

What about the rest of it. And then they deployed their commando mercenary thugs and toys. The guy quit paying for the land use, and used the land anyway. Seems like there's a simple remedy for that which wouldn't require all the tactical toys and thugs and 1st amendment zones.

I think we are applying the term SWAT a little loosely

I think we agree on that!

Your local police department does not have the resources or experience to conduct multijurisdictional investigations relating to fraudulent student aid, and the remedy that didn't involve tactical toys was Bundy getting off the land.

How about just one federal police force? Eh? I mean does every government agency have to have one? It's like trending. Don't want to be the last agency without a swat team. I'd be surprised if the US Office of Government Ethics didn't have a swat team yet. And you would be correct,they do have SWAT teams.

If they're dealing with a matter that requires "enforcement", why can't they go through the courts, bring charges, and have real police do the enforcing?

The only reason the BLM wanted to go full on Waco on Bundy's ass is they wanted to finally have a reason to brake out the new toys.

So if I win a court case against someone who owes me money I have the right to take their property by force?

I thought legally that was what property liens where for?

Aren't we talking about just enforcing a court order? But that's a moot point anyway since Kirk answered that elsewhere.

yes, force can be used because it would then be your property. If someone is foreclosed/evicted and choses not to leave, that person can be forcefully removed. In the Bundy case, the court authorized BLM to round up the cattle and auction them off for non payment. Essentially a lien. Considering the court authorized BLM to seize the cattle in 1998, they obviously were in no hurry to do the job.

It's the BLM Ranger's job to enforce the court order.

They're only knowledgeable in investigating murder, gang activity, drugs, those lightweight crimes. Nobody says the DOE can't handle student loans, they just don't need a SWAT team.

Looks like there were some sheriff's deputies on scene, as well as Las Vegas police. Were they there to protect the Bloomers from the ranchers?

I'm guessing evictions are NOT in the Bloomer coppers job descriptions.

Postal Service SWAT/ERT circa 1924.....evidence the police state has been "rapidly" growing for 90 years. Obviously Obama supporters and freedom haters

Those guys look like the bunch that took down Bonnie and Clyde.

It is part of the BLM mandate to enforce federal law, and AFAIK, LVMPD etc. didn't show up until a bunch of busy bodies showed up with guns
