Another day, another law broken?

The Department of Defense is planning upcoming military exercises to take place in several Western states, including: California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico.   The military  exercises are going to take place in civilian areas, not on military bases.

The upcoming exercises may be in direct conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 which limits the powers of the federal government in using its military personnel to enforce the state laws.
The law states:

Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

The exception to the law allows the president to order troops to an area pursuant to the Insurrection Act, as was the case during the 1992 Los Angeles riots… Obviously, this would not fit any current situation.

  • Translation for unnecessary drill and the VIOLATION of the Constitution regarding Posse Comitatus …. Obama is going to use the military to spray the night sky with chemicals and psychoactive drugs that will make every human being docile, violently sick, near death or dead.

    Research government documents regarding geoengineering and population control.

  • civilians need to make these soldiers aware they are being used by the military are are violating whatever law, Posse Comitatus is. dont even let them carry out the exercise, drive them out!!!
