LAPD Supports Urban Military Training Exercises
Los Angeles: From June 15-27, 2009, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) will be providing support for joint military training exercises in and around the greater Los Angeles area.
The operations will be routine training exercises conducted by military personnel, designed to ensure the military’s ability to operate in urban environments, prepare forces for upcoming overseas deployments and meet mandatory training certification requirements.
Training sites have been carefully selected so that activities do not interfere with the daily routines of the local populace. Safety precautions have also been taken to prevent risk to the general public, as well as to military personnel involved. The training is not open to the public.
Questions or concerns may be directed to Officer Steve Scallon at 213-305-4685.
Our police and Military should remain separate. The police has no business training with military. More and more Posse Comitatus is being chipped away at. Follow the law.

Hey Aaron...It didn't say they were training together..It said they were providing support..Joint Military Training means with multiple branches of the military. Relax and take a deep breath.

Aaron Johannsen,
What are you talking about... how is Posse Comitatus relevant in this sitaution? Or did you just want to practice your latin? No one said they police would be training with the military. Furthermore even if they were to train together PC would not be violated/chipped away unless the US military took on domestic law enforcement responsibilities. If I'm not mistaken (Mods correct me if I'm wrong) the LAPD is just providing notification/security as it is mandated to do. The dept is trying to make sure that civilians do not panic if they happen upon the training site.
So take off the tin foil hat and relax.

Today is Monday, June 22, '09 and tonight the military exercises have been going on now well over an hour, off and on (it is now 10:25pm). There are really loud helicopters flying overhead. Looking out of the window I can see them flying close together extremely fast in a circular motion. I don't think flying over any residential area is safe for military exercises. A crash could easily occur (it happens often). We have a young son and all I've been thinking about is "what if the helicopters crash." The best place for these type of military exercises is in the desert or over the ocean. (Not to mention, who can sleep with such noise going on? Although, thankfully, my son has remained asleep.) I wonder if these exercises are taking place over any wealthy communities? I'm in San Pedro, very near Palos Verdes, but I'd be willing to bet these helicopters aren't flying overhead there.

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." Obama's promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is Obama's gestapo militia in training why isn't there more media reporting it. Let me guess the media is in it as well.
