Army training vehicle in St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS (KMOV) – Residents in north St. Louis should not be concerned if they see military vehicles rolling through their neighborhoods over the next week. The U.S. Army says it is conducting training missions through June 28.
Authorities said the vehicles will most likely be seen in the St. Louis Police Department's sixth district, which includes neighborhoods in north St. Louis.
According to the miamiherald:
There was the thunderous whump whump of low-flying helicopters, and even the jarring blast of explosions at the abandoned Grand Bay Hotel in Coconut Grove early Tuesday during a military training exercise that jolted many unsuspecting residents from their beds.
The maneuvers were part of a "realistic urban training" exercise for about 100 military personnel, and organized by the U.S. Special Operations Command, said Maj. Michael Burns, a U.S. Army spokesman. The exercise also included three military helicopters, and the use of simulated explosions and gunfire to mimic real-life military scenarios.
"They have to train in a realistic environment," Burns said. "We didn't use any real bullets," he added reassuringly.
Miami police assisted in overseeing the exercises — but they were instructed to keep quiet about the exercises until late Monday, for security reasons. The police also blocked off roads around the Grand Bay during the exercise, Muir said.
"It was the federal government's call on what was being done. We were courteously advised," said Miami commissioner Marc Sarnoff, whose district includes Coconut Grove.
Miami Police Maj. Delrish Moss said that a news release about the training was sent out around 5 p.m. Monday, but it went largely unnoticed.
In 2011 we again reported on the startling fact that the Air Force was actually taking part in arrests in local convenience stores.
In Florida City The Air Force has set up a crime hotline, which has now been removed from their website, as well as taken part in arrests at local convenience stores.
On July 15, military police – known as Security Forces patrolmen – detained a criminal suspect at a Circle K in until Miami-Dade police arrived.
In April of this year heavily armed military officers descended on downtown Chicago in black helicopters which was again labeled by the local corporate media as completely routine and actually a good thing.
In a shocking display of the police state and the creeping push towards actual martial law, heavily armed military officers in black helicopters swooped through downtown Chicago in what was billed as a routine military exercise.
Up to three Blackhawk Helicopters flew in formation and separately around downtown office buildings and apartments for at least three hours.
April 2012 in Crookston, MN, fully armed troops were photographed walking through neighborhood streets.
