I was truly horrified to read, in this morning's Lexington Herald Leader, that Governor Blanco,at Mayor Chocolate's request,is sending 300 National Guard, plus 60 State cops,to New Orleans.
The reason; it would appear that some "gangsta n*##@" (their words, not mine) drug dealers had a major falling out,and got busy with their artillery! Five dead.
Can you all say "Posse Commitatus", guys and gals?
Nagin says that this will "free his cops up to deal with other hot spots."
Sounds pretty lame to me. Are not dangerous precedents being set here?
Cops ain't soldiers, and soldiers definitely ain't cops!
Is Nagin trying to set up some kind of personal fiefdom, backed by military might?
Methinks that the citizens of Chocolate City will find that their chocolate will taste mighty bitter,very soon!
What say all of you Constitutional scholars? Is martial law coming to a town near you soon, or am I just getting paranoid?
