The National Police Force? It Just Might Be Real

HR 675 is another example of the overreaching power grab being attempted by this administration. The information below was copied directly from this bill currently referred to committee for review.
SECTION 1. AUTHORITY FOR POLICE OFFICERS, CRIMINAL INVESTIGATORS, AND GAME LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO EXECUTE WARRANTS, MAKE ARRESTS, AND CARRY FIREARMS.
(a) Authority- Chapter 81 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new section:
‘Sec. 1585b. Law enforcement officers of the Department of Defense: authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms
‘(a) Authority- The Secretary of Defense may authorize any law enforcement officer of the Department of Defense--
‘(1) to execute and serve any warrant or other process issued under the authority of the United States;
‘(2) to make arrests without a warrant--
‘(A) for any offense against the United States committed in the presence of that officer; and
‘(B) for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if the officer has probable cause to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing the felony; and
‘(3) to carry firearms.

This bill specifically flies in the face of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. Passed during the Reconstruction Era of the South this Act specifically prohibited the use of federal uniformed services (today the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain "law and order" on non-federal property.
In the recent past, the Pentagon sent operatives to snoop on anti-war and patriot demonstrations —there is much reported surveillance of tea party and other “extremist” gatherings. In the not too distant future this bill would make it possible to send “civilians” with firearms and the power to arrest “rightwing extremists” who represent, according to the Department of Homeland Security and numerous federalized police agencies, “offense against the United States.” Folks- this is dangerous stuff. This bill cannot pass
