no, i'm not. do you even realize how many toys DHS buys for police departments who don't even need it? tens of Millions of tax dollars waste because if they don't use, they lose it from next year's budget. small town PDs do not need APCs and full military rucksacks, and complete level 5 suits and shit like that. police state:the police control everything, you have no rights. which is what happened when they're forcing their way into anyone they want's house for no reason and you're not allowed on the streets. Russia warned them that the guys were chechen extremists. they could have taken the advice; seeing as how Russia is in a civil war against the chechen extremists, pretty sure they know how to detect them. and yes, the US did have intel that could have stopped 9/11. one of the guys who would have been a suicide bomber defected and told the defense agencies about the attacks. did they act on it? no. did they cause 9/11? somewhat due to their irresponsibility in not acting on intel. did they directly cause it like nutjobs believe? no. research your shit before calling someone out.
