Why Does The Military Continue To Practice Assaulting U.S. Cities?

July 17, 2013 by Bob Livingston

Helicopters from the U.S. Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment shook Port Angeles, Wash., residents awake last week as they thundered above the city, flying low and shining bright lights on the ground during an early morning training exercise that “terrorized [the] city.”

“We have a Coast Guard base and know what our Coast Guard helicopters sound like,” Port Angeles Mayor Cherie Kidd told CBS Seattle. “It was horrendously loud and frightening. There were lights on some of the helicopters that just really upset us.”

Federal law prohibits the U.S. military from conducting domestic law enforcement. So why is the military practicing assaults on U.S. cities? And why aren’t they warning residents, or at least the local governments, beforehand so they won’t be frightened out of their wits?

Has the Army provided an official explanation?

Stupid question really, they've got to practice somewhere and other countries object a lot if foreigners like us practice that shit on their cities.

That's possible, but I agree that they should notify the residents of the tests.

They probably notified the city who didn't pass on the info. I know whenever we had to do anything outside the confines of the training areas or post we had to file a shitload of documentation with the feds and the state.

I guess we'll never know about any of that. After all, Trayvon is much more important than anything else.
