Police militarization in Colorado: Cops in fatigues toting automatic weapons disperse anti-eviction activists

"Be advised that everybody on the property is trespassing." So said a Creek County Sheriff Department officer as he ordered activists off of private property yesterday.


He and his fellow officers looked like they were dressed for combat in a war zone, but in fact they had come to evict a woman from her home in Idaho Springs, Colorado. The following photos depict those officers, dressed in combat fatigues and carrying assault weapons, before and during arrests of activists affiliated with Occupy Denver at yesterday's foreclosure defense.

The homeowner facing eviction was apparently underwater on her mortgage with US Bank. She says she told the bank that all she was asking was for another 30 days in the home before an eviction. She needed an extra month in order to find another place to live, she said.

But US Bank and the Creek County Sheriff's Department had other plans, culminating a show of force that thoroughly alarmed activists who had descended on the property to attempt to prevent the eviction.

Interesting. Posse what? Land of the free?
I suppose we will see the same here in the UK and Europe, after all France has increased defense spending by thirty billion by reducing welfare by the same.

First off how sad for this woman to lose her home.
Without the captions describing the soldiers as police one could get the wrong idea!
They blur the roles/definitions and play to the egos of those "dressed up for the job."

Police State: Growth Rate of Cops Exceeds Population Growth

The Bureau of Justice Statistics has released a report demonstrating the growth of police in the United States.
The survey was conducted with agencies that participated in the 2008 Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies and the results were released
by the Justice Department this month.

Between 1992 and 2008 the numbers of police grew by 25 percent. In 2008 there were 705,000 full-time sworn officers employed in the United States.
The number was 564,000 in 1992. This represents an annual growth rate of 1.6 percent, which exceeds the 1.2 percent population growth rate in the
United States, according to the survey.

Law enforcement grew its ranks despite a significant decline in crime. According to FBI statistics, murder, rape and robbery went down in the United States
in 2011 for a fifth consecutive year. Compared with 2010, the new figures show violent crime down 3.8 percent overall and property crime was down
0.5 percent, CNN reported on October 29. Justice Department figures show the crime-rate fell to an all-time low in 2011.

Despite the decline in crime, police departments around the country are rapidly transforming into paramilitary organizations. Forbes reported last year that
the Department of Homeland Security granted local cops $3 billion that was spent on “necessary tools” like BearCats and armored personnel vehicles.

In 2011 17,000+ federal, state and local agencies accepted more than $2.6 billion in donated military equipment, much of it used in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The combat equipment and lavish funding from the federal government are intended for all-inclusive counter-narcotics and -terrorism enforcement activities,
Forbes notes.

The massive presence of militarized police at the establishment’s presidential conventions this year and as a now routine fixture at globalist confabs reveals
the real reason for the militarization and growth of the police despite falling crime rates – the United States is a police state and the enemy is not al-Qaeda,
anarchists (many who are police and FBI agents provocateurs), or even violent drug gangs.

Americans opposed to a government long ago captured by transnational corporations and their bankster and one-world government globalist overlords are
the enemy.
