Why the Sudden Barrage of Live-Fire Military Drills at Schools?selfnews Post It was reported that residents were shocked and scared by the sight and sounds of the raid. When you see this, you think the worst. When you hear this, you think the worst, resident Frances Jerrals said. I felt like I was in a warzone. It was nonstop. I was terrified. Apparently, the residents were the only ones who were shocked by the drill. The local government was also not informed of the drill and held an emergency meeting to open discussion of the mock attack. This intense and terrifying drill came only days after a similar drill in Miami. And its announced that live gun fire (with blanks) will be used in yet another mock school raid in Chicago today. According to CBS: The excuse for the unannounced training in Miami was for overseas training although they paired up with local law enforcement to pull it off. Last night, there was an unreported urban training drill in Pennsylvania that was simply posted as a status update, January 29th, on abc27 (based in Harrisburg) news Facebook page: This is how they alert the public now? This morning they finally posted a very short update on their news websitewith a picture of a helicopter saying: There were three helicopters flying high and low, practicing touch-and-go landings. People were also rappelling down ropes. They were gone as quickly as they arrived. Perhaps the most bizarre multi-agency mock drill took place on January 17th in Portsmouth, Ohioand actually targets 2nd Amendment supporters who are school employees as terrorists: The news of these several major drills happening in one week follow a prominent one in Minneapolis that took place late August, 2012. A lot of Black Hawk helicopter footage appears at that link. The people there received some warning. And so did the people of Chicago last spring although they were still left terrorized by rattling windows, military men hanging out of windows and choppers with automatic weapons and low-flying Little Birds weaving in between skyscrapers. That training was in preparation of a NATO summit with expected protesters and was intended for terrorist and crowd control measures. Last January, multi-agency training took place overLos Angelessimilar to the reports above complete with a Black Hawk and four Little Birds It was described as a dry run for a future mission. Chief Warrant Officer David Duran saidits always best to get the closest terrain layout to what the objective is. They pick terrain based on what they might be facing in the future. The chilling yet casual news report laid it all out. Likewise, Urban Shield surprise training drills have been going on for awhile now such as the one in Boston last fall. It appears that heretofore unconcerned citizens are unsettled by the exercises that ride on the heels of the Sandy Hook tragedy. What is alsoominous: the drills in major US cities arrive just after the claim activist Jim Garrow made of Obamas litmus test for the military: Will you fire on American citizens? And of course, the DHS is buying up all the ammo thats becoming increasingly scarce and recently purchased 7,000 AR-15s calling them personal defense while those same firearms arevilifiedas assualt weapons for American citizens. Will the public become desensitized and accept terror-inducing drills around and in schools, in neighborhoods at night with no warning? With around two-thirds of our tax dollars supporting military spending, why would there be need to practice on the people in American cities? Article Sources:
