Govt Sets the Example: Why Militarization of US Law Enforcement & Govt entities (non-military).

The govt sets the example. As they have decided that the best way to gain/maintain party power and control is to "break the gridlock" of the executive branch. This is best done through partisanship as well as recruiting and coordinating talent from the judicial and legislative branches.  It is no longer about efficient governing mor about rational, efficient and equitable decision making. It is about control. If they have control then they can 'get theirs.' As Tocqueville predicted in the 18th century when in course of the governing officials (note I did not say leaders) getting their wealth, status, perks, benefits, "respect" and a secure future (for themselves and family) they have to buy votes through the public til made up of our tax dollars (think unearned entitlements). Because you know it is illegal to simply hand out cash.  

The objective mind you is majority control. The tactic is breaking deadlock, legally or illegally. Keep in mind the partisan citizen easily overlooks shady issues as long as they or their cause benefit.  Classic group-think to which both parties are guilty, however the difference is the conservatives, I believe, have moral thresholds they will not cross and are simply better leaders. Leadership and leadership capability is a woefully missing analysis of our main stream media today. That for another post. 

As mentioned this government dead lock breaking plan involves deciding what laws they will follow and what laws to ignore (IRS, Lerner, sounds eerily similar to how the 'word' about the final solution was passed so that VIP names didnt end up in print). When our elected governing officials lead the people by picking and choosing what laws they will follow and the laws they will enforce the people will likewise emulate.  

Here is where looking into the crystal ball can get tricky. Trying to match up projected events onto a timeline.  When in the future will critical mass occur? Try not to think in terms of calendar labeled timeline. Just a line with a string of events on it. Often one event has to precipitate another and often two, sometimes more precipitous events have to share resources/coordination to formulate an intended event.  etc. etc. Finally, w/in the scope of this short banged out blog, intended for your mental marination, the chronology between events is based on generally two conditions: The first is logistical constraints. Resources, labor, tech can only move at 'x' speed. Two; Intentional timing. although the horse is ready to go and chomping the bit it can be told to stand down until it is deemed 'go time.'

We know we are a path that future events will not involve kids dancing around a Mayflower pole.  Any realist can see what is ahead.  Again the question, when? I do know this...If the law the people disobey are blessed by the government (blind eye to illegal immigration) it will be as it is now; a divided nation, class and race warfare.  When the govt decides that the laws the people disobey are those they should follow then civil American will be militarily attacked, killed or arrested, tried and jailed as an example for all to comply or else. This is why American law enforcement & govt entities are militarizing. I believe this is what the progressives really want in the end. It is far easier to slam dunk someone, cut them off, have them hauled away then to have to show them respect, patience, be polite and actually care about their will and thoughts.
