Army Manual Outlines Plan To Kill Rioters, Demonstrators In America

A newly leaked US Army Military Police training manual for “Civil Disturbance Operations” outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest.

The document (PDF), which is dated 2006 and was used for a self-learning course at the U.S. Army Military Police School at Fort McClellan, makes it clear that the operations described in the manual apply to both “CONUS and OCONUS,” meaning inside the Continental United States and outside the Continental United States.

The document outlines how military assets will be used to “help local and state authorities to restore and maintain law and order” in the event of mass riots, civil unrest or a declaration of martial law.

I was a squad leader from Ft. Myer Va. during the riots in DC in 1968 We had M-14 riffles with fixed bayonets. We had been in riot training before Dr. King was killed. Our instructions were only lock and load with permission, however, did not leave us with any communication equipment. I pulled my squad together and explained that if they came under fire to fire back. At that point I considered us to be in a war zone and self survival was the only way. We did not attack civilians, nor had any plans to.

As a vet with similar experience, can you help me figure out how I can get someone in VA to explain the VA benefits I am entitled to? Everyone I talk to never heard of "the riots of 68" nor the fact that we were officially (like the middle east) activated for duty to the whitehouse.

We have come quite far down this rabbit hole since 1968. Just saying . . .

That's odd, I thought that the MP school was moved to Ft. Leonard Wood way before 2006 and that Ft. McClellan (where I went to MP school back in the 80's) was now a Reserve/National Guard center.
