Gold miners near Chicken cry foul over 'heavy-handed' EPA raids
http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/20130903/gold-miners-near-chicken-cry-foul-over-heavy-handed-epa-raids
When agents with the Alaska Environmental Crimes Task Force surged out of the wilderness around the remote community of Chicken wearing body armor and jackets emblazoned with POLICE in big, bold letters, local placer miners didn’t quite know what to think.
Did it really take eight armed men and a squad-size display of paramilitary force to check for dirty water? Some of the miners, who run small businesses, say they felt intimidated.
Others wonder if the actions of the agents put everyone at risk. When your family business involves collecting gold far from nowhere, unusual behavior can be taken as a sign someone might be trying to stage a robbery. How is a remote placer miner to know the people in the jackets saying POLICE really are police?
Scary. :o It happened near Chicken, Alaska. The town is named after ptarmigan. Plot by bunnies.

They are getting us used to the heavy hand! Especially those who are likely to shoot them. Bad medicine!

The handy work of Butch Reno and the Clinton Crime Family.
There here is a greater difference between State Police and Police State than just re arranging words.
