SAMSON, Alabama - An Army investigation has found that the use
of armed military policemen from Fort Rucker in response to mass
murders in Samson violated federal law.
Records on the matter were released to the Dothan Eagle on
Monday in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
The Department of Army Inspector General found a violation of
the Posse Comitatus Act, which restrains the use of the military
for civilian law enforcement purposes.
The Aug. 10 report says it does not appear the historic
tradition of limiting direct military involvement in civilian law
enforcement activities was analyzed or considered.
It says the intent was to be a good Army neighbor.
The Army earlier confirmed that 22 military police and an
officer were sent to Samson after the mass slaying of 10 people on
March 10.

Comment:
“The IRS is expected to take in over two trillion dollars this year. Nearly 40 percent of that total will go to military related expenses. This according to a new report by the National Priorities Project. The research group estimates 27 percent of your federal taxes will be pay for current military spending including the war in Iraq. An additional nine percent will help pay off debt from past wars and military expenses. And another three percent covers benefits for veterans.”

Nope still think you are an idiot, what do you think we will be like with no military.  And you started the attacks in your previous post.  You need to get your head out of your rear.  Explain how the military is encroaching on your freedoms.  This ONE incident, which is and was a mistake, other than that name some and I will debunk all of them.

typical , rather than cite actual facts you attack the one who posted facts, not the fact itself. Corporate income tax pays for military and the amount collected is the exact same as we spend on defence. Here ya go smarty pants see the (peter) Grace commission report on how your income tax is spent. There I did what I have always said I wouldn’t do and that is YOUR HOMEWORK! I doubt you have the time ,tools , or talent to locate this material and there by gather the truth, so you are entitled to believe what you wish and continue along with the rest of the sheepole to the slaughterhouse if you want, or take that actual time to look this info up and see for self.

Freedom, you happen to be one of the biggest idiots on the site.  Your assessment of how tax dollars is spent is complete idiocy.  Do away with the military?  then what wait for the foriegn countries to come over and do as they will with OUR country.  You need to do a little, no make that a lot, of reading yorself.

Your taxes do not pay for armed services ,get that through your thick heads! Your tax money pays for the interest on the loans taken form a private bank known as the FED reserve, and nothing else. This is a way for the military to slowly encroach upon its own citizens(police state) and should be eliminated all together,hence the Posse Comitatus Act. Don’t know what that is? Pick up a damn book you fools! It is there to protect you!!!

OK-thanks for clarifying.Didn’t know how it all worked.

  This has nothing to do with National Guard helping during Hurricanes. This comes down to Military Police doing day to day LE work.
  So there were 10 people in this one incident, they could have just the same called a neighboring LE department to “Assist”....
  They did not need for the Military Police to get involved with civilian incidents as this.

This is what keeps us from being a police state. Good work on the military for a clear headed and unbiased investigation.
Im sure the MPs meant well, but this is also the reason that civilians are in charge of the military. Yes, it has and does cause problems, but in the long term it is in our best interest.

National Guard and Army Military Police are two different entities. There is such a thing as JURISDICTION.

So would this mean that the National Guard can no longer come help after hurricanes,etc? I thought that was the point-to assist local LE to ensure public safety in situations that may become volatile.
