Feds appear to be preparing to quell mass unrest following the election.

Government officials are threatening to not certify a Trump 2024 win, and a recent Department of Defense directive expands the authority of the military to assist in domestic law enforcement activities and exercise the use of lethal force. Greg Reese reports:

DoD Directive 5240.01: The Stealth Expansion of Military Intelligence Powers in Life-or-Death Domestic Scenarios

As the U.S. nears a pivotal election, the quiet expansion of DoD Directive 5240.01 may grant military intelligence unprecedented authority to assist law enforcement in life-or-death domestic scenarios, raising concerns about civil liberties and government overreach

(c) Assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury. It also includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated. Such use of force must be in accordance with DoDD 5210.56, potentially as further restricted based on the specifics of the requested support.

Also:

3.4. APPROVAL CONSIDERATIONS.
a. Approval of requests for permissible assistance described in Paragraph 3.2. may be provided on a case-by-case basis, or may be provided for a particular type of assistance or operation that must be conducted in accordance with DoDM 5240.01.
b. The legal office responsible, subject to Paragraph 2.2.c., for advising the approval authority must determine the assistance may be provided lawfully.
c. The approval authority will consider these factors:
(1) Lethality.
The extent to which the assistance to be provided involves the potential use of lethal force.
(2)

All that’s saying is intelligence personal can support civilian government requests when it might be dangerous.

I’ve bolded a key part you’re ignoring. DoD Directive 5210.56 is what you should be reading.

Again, 5240.01 is strictly about Intel oversight.

Edit: I don’t agree with this change. The federal government did some really good things with intel oversight and restrictions following the Army’s spying on Vietnam war protestors. I don’t want to see that reverted. But this directive change is not what you think it is.

5210.56 November 2020 update

A doc search on "deadly" is a quick way to skim through.

So tell me how this current armed/deadly force usage policy is different than any other time in the country’s history.

Armed DoD personnel have always been able to use deadly force (even off DoD property) to protect life or DoD property.

Stop pointless fear mongering.

Mong-ing fear is all a number of posters here seem to do these days. It's unfortunate.

You mentioned 5210.56, I posted it, not fearmongering. It was changed in 2020 but nothing substantive.

I'm thinking - if they are gonna coem get us - because. . . giggle. . . they won't certify a Trump election. . . . why warn us?

There's enough crap wrong with this country to worry about this crap. Gosh. If people just took care of their AO, we'd have less problems in this world. INstead if this Nervous Nancy worrying like a damned cuck'd democrat.

They do.

The military is serious about not wanting to be used that way.

I thought that too and didn't know until right now that the Marines weren't added to it until 2021. While stationed in southern CA, we were on standby to go in to LA so there wouldn't be a repeat of the 1992 riots. I was pretty f-ing salty when we were training up for riot control.

The original Posse Comitatus Act referred exclusively to the United States Army. The Air Force, established during the 20th century initially as a branch of the Army, was added in 1956. The Navy and Marine Corps were not mentioned in the Act but were subject to the same restrictions by Department of Defense regulation until their inclusion in the act in 2021

I did advise the Ca NG in LA during the ‘92 riots. The air and feel was different then do to the “confinement” of the location and the fact it was riots. I’d like to believe the .mil would be against it but not really sure any more. I suppose it would come down to massaging vs core beliefs.
