Cops goin Scarface on yo ass!

As an option now in sunny Miami, where politics is governed by how much you can prove you hate Fidel Castro, Police officers are now given the option to tote around assault weapons (just in case)!

I like making rules and regulations for those "Just in Case" kind of situations, since those could NEVER possibly go awry right?

The one thing I find a bit disturbing about this though is just how easily these type of changes seem to be coming out across the law enforcement spectrum.

Years ago, law enforcement specialists like SWAT teams were the only officers to carry assault weapons, but now even small town police agencies are expanding access to the AR-15, a civilian version of the military M-16 rifle.

Now, call me an anal constitutionalist (I like that word), but doesn't this fit into military assistance or involvement in domestic law enforcement? And isn't that very much illegal? I don't think you can just write this off as cops getting bigger guns anymore, when they're better armed then most foreign standing armies...

*Just occurred to me that we have a legal analyst available to us here in Dewey Cheatem and Howe, maybe he can shine some light on this one?

Maybe Louisiana is just jinxed?

Apparently anytime something is supposed to go in or out (or not) of Louisiana, be it Federal assistance, money, political careers, something goes horribly, horribly wrong.

Take this beautiful story for example. The Air Force accidentally misplaced 5 Nuclear Warheads!

The B-52 was loaded with Advanced Cruise Missiles, part of a Defense Department effort to decommission 400 of the ACMs. But the nuclear warheads should have been removed at Minot before being transported to Barksdale, the officers said. The missiles were mounted onto the pylons of the bomber’s wings.

Now we all know we live in a different time... This is the "Post 9/11 Time", that we are reminded of so frequently by certain politicians. A time in which our military is a finely tuned machine, capable of destroying "Terrah" in all its forms, while running a clean, non-torture prone existence here and abroad...

How the hell could they have "accidentally" shipped nuclear warheads somewhere else, essentially losing them for a stretch of time???

It never ceases to amaze me how incompetent certain organizations can be...
