The modern paramilitary police and how we got here: SurvivalBlog reader D.C. blames FLETC for turning our nation’s local level police forces into paramilitary death squads after seeing them first-hand on flights in and out of Roswell, NM heading to and from training in Artesia, and hearing the chatter amongst themselves. “The .gov folks talked amongst themselves at the airport of actively recruiting local agencies to send police officers to receive the training. The trainee officers seem very boosted in morale by the training, and their chatter is confident and not unlike that seen among school team athletes.” – D.C.

You just have to scroll down past the construction tutorials to get the online books.
