These storming troopers in North Carolina are essentially practicing the beating down of their own neighbors. And heck, they look like they’re enjoying it! The NC National Guard are the ones who are supposed to be protecting their neighbors against the DHS and the rest of the Feds when shit hits the fan — but that’s not what’s happening.

These photos show soldiers from the 252nd Combined Arms Battalion training in June. They trained a “rapid reaction force,” that is able to respond anywhere in North Carolina “within four to eight hours with additional forces arriving within 24 to 36 hours.”

The very same unit trained in March to prepare for any “emergency ahead of federal assets by providing site security, establishing roadblocks or checkpoints, and assisting civilian authorities in controlling civil disturbances.”

Soldiers in the June exercises trained at an abandoned shopping mall and a water treatment facility in Charlotte, North Carolina.

They practiced suppressing fake protesters who they called “The Pink Panthers.” The training at the water treatment facility gave soldiers a chance to “use nonlethal force to disperse a crowd of aggressors.” Soldiers operated from Be On The Look Out (BOLO) notices — specific identities of individuals in the crowd listed as “AIN Members” were to be targeted for arrest.

The photos from the training are awesome, but also kind of frightening. Police power grabs have seemed to become more frequent and drastic by the day. Just this week a cop unjustifiably shot a man’s dog, officers violated the Third Amendment by seizing a family’s home, and police conducted an unconstitutional car search for drugs on Independence Day. The training in North Carolina will likely only grow the police state even more.
