Though judging by the comments I can see why the police would fear a large hostile crowd. Seems funny that the same people who understand why the president has armed guards do not understand why a police station would need to be protected.

And for how the FBI feebs view us:

(This occurred after, but in the similar timeframe, as the unlawful arrest of Alabama's (democratic) Gov. Siegelman.)

February 1 – The morning calm in the small Alabama town of Toney, near Huntsville, was broken at 6:15 Thursday morning when a team of five FBI agents, accompanied by a prison matron, pounded on the door. When the man of the house answered, he was forced into the yard, shirtless in the early morning cold.

They came for his wife, Sue Schmitz, a diminutive, 63-year-old retired social studies and civics teacher who has lived in the town for 38 years. She was dragged out of her bathroom, where she was taking a shower, and handcuffed – breaking her flesh and scraping her wrists as she was hustled off to prison.

Who was this threat to society? Sue Schmitz is a well-respected state legislator who is loved in her community and by her students and is truly legendary for her passion for civics and outreach to the disadvantaged. The dream of her life was to let the fire of civic spirit catch on in communities and among families on the margin of society, where the danger of drug abuse and criminality are the highest. She dedicated her life to it.

She launched a program called “We the People,” designed to build civic spirit and interest in participatory democracy among school children. And Ms. Schmitz’s advocacy of civic engagement led directly to her conflict with U.S. Attorney Alice Martin, who considers it to be a criminal act.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Former state Rep. Sue Schmitz is a free woman after completing a 30-month prison sentence resulting from a 2009 conviction on federal mail fraud and theft charges.

Schmitz, 67, was released from custody Friday, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. After serving the bulk of her sentence at a minimum-security prison camp in Lexington, Ky., she was transferred in December to a halfway house in Birmingham.

(From Dom's posting:) "..or whoever is in charge"

Community Development Roundtable? The banksters paying the coppers those extra salaries?

One wonders . . . .
