    I don't know.

    When are you going to stop making unprovable statements?

    Doesn't need to start large, with the size of the US, it would be hard for the military to effectively implement martial law in the US.

    That wasn't supposed to be a literal question.

    Wait a minute, this:

    Why is it that so many police officers don't work in the areas they live in?

    ...was not supposed to be a literal question? Really? Then please clear up the confusion, because it certainly looks like a literal question to me.

    How in the world do you ask a question, that you are not expecting an answer to on a forum? In a normal conversation, I suppose I would have followed it up with a 'I am not expecting an answer, but don't you ever wonder why things like this are happening?'

    Is a nonsensical statement/question. Police officers DO live in the areas they work in. I DON'T wonder why these things are happening because they're not.

    If you are building a case for police enforced martial law based partly on the premise that police officers would have no problem getting aggressive with the local citizenry because they don't live amongst them, you are mistaken.

    I live in a neighborhood of about 1200 homes. There are a number of law enforcement that live in here, they all drive their cars home. I can't think of a single on of them that is vehicle from this county.

    When I go to the next county over, I see a bunch of cars at homes, and most of them are from other counties.

    These are facts, but I can't say that none of them live in the counties/cities.

    Oh for heaven's sake--a police officer that lives in another county isn't from "the area"? I guess we have differing definitions of what "area" means. I don't think that an officer from my nearest county is going to think to himself, "I can inflict pain on this person because he's from Hennepin County and I'm from Dakota County. He's not truly one of us."

    I assume you are not from this country because the people in this country are suppose to be the government..

    Many are the same people who voted for Obama and the mayor of Houston.

    It wasn't hard for Germamany and it would notbe hard for this nation either. People today would fall in line like ducks in a row with only a few resisting.

    Huh? I don't even...Sapper's right, this thread is horrible.

    You go ahead and prepare yourself for the Army or the Police rounding you up and enslaving you. I'm going to go home play with my kids and maybe have a glass of wine tonight while enjoying this beautiful fall day.

    I don't think you fully grasp the idea of government "of the people, by the people, and for the people".

    What is the great moral corruption you speak of? Are you one of those people that believe America was founded by Christians? Do you think sexual promiscuity is a new thing in America? Do you think that homosexuality is far more rampant today than it was 100 years ago?
