When Police Function as Occupying Armies
The Constitution And Community Policing
The founders had some fundamental splits, but all of them saw the militia as the a key resource in the security and safety of United States. They saw militia as the Palladium of Liberty, both a bullwark against invasion and a tool for avoiding standing armies and tyranny. For more see:
The United States Congress uses the militia passages in Article one of the Constitution to justify our Military Academies, Army, 2 year horizons for appropriations, and appointments to the Officer corps. But the core of the militia clauses, the militia, has been lost, or associated with the National Guard. This is rather like how the post office clause of the Constitution has spun off UPS, Railroads, Airlines, Toll Roads, Telephony and the internet, yet somehow remains relegated to mail and small parcels. Both of these constitutional organizations had one vision originally, and a distorted image currently. Our authorities want privateering government that serves separate advantage. This attacks basic principles of commonwealth & Republicanism, as fundamental principle.
Commonwealth according to Locke
Commonwealth as Antidote to Tyranny
I started this post a while ago. But while the basic idea is premised on an understanding of the relationship between militia and police and professional police and occupying Armies, getting this across to people has been difficult. But you can't have a democratic republic at a federal level without local democracy. Volunteer fire, rescue, HS & Police are vital componant of a functional republic. They should be compensated Federally when they serve the country locally.
