Just remember according to the Colorado supreme court’s recent decision if you ever say anything critical about the government you are now considered an insurrectionist. No training for you!

Revisiting this thread....
Funny you should mention insurrection.
Perhaps I'm just paranoid, but I see a lot of similarities between what happened here during
the last year and historical events from WW2 and Vietnam.
There is a newly-formed DLE (Dept of Law Enforcement) The DLE is like a conglomeration of various separate law enforcement groups. eg. hpd, sheriffs, DPS (prisons) dlnr, etc.
If you look at history, back in 1933 Nazi Germany unified various local police groups in a similar fashion under Heinrich Himmler.
In 1971, Pol Pot formed the "Santebal" secret police force for the Khmer Rouge Democratic Party.
RE: Himmler 1933----
As a member of a reserve battalion during the First World War, Himmler did not see active service or combat. Having joined the Nazi Party in 1923 and the SS in 1925, he was appointed Reichsführer-SS by Adolf Hitler in 1929. Over the next sixteen years, Himmler developed the SS from a 290-man battalion into a million-strong paramilitary group. He was known for good organisational skills and for selecting highly competent subordinates, such as Reinhard Heydrich in 1931. From 1943 onwards, he was both Chief of the Kriminalpolizei (Criminal Police) and Minister of the Interior,
overseeing all internal and external police and security forces, including the Gestapo (Secret State Police). He also controlled the Waffen-SS, the military branch of the SS.----
RE: Vietnam 1971 ---
The Santebal (meaning "keeper of peace") was the secret police of the Khmer Rouge's Democratic Kampuchea (DK) regime in Cambodia.
The Santebal was in charge of internal security and running prison camps like Tuol Sleng (S-21) where thousands of people were imprisoned, interrogated, tortured and executed. It was part of the Khmer Rouge organizational structure

nah, I'm probably just paranoid.
