When the Feds are destroying particular small businesses, for example family farms, they bring in local police for back up and familiar uniformed presence, to assure more compliance.  What is amazing, and should be understood, is the alacrity with which local police are happy to go along for the ride, even if they are destroying the local tax base that feeds them.

Some doubt is being cast on the story of a swat team collecting on a student loan, where a private citizen has run down this story, while Fox is running its usual "blame the victim" angle. The remarkable thing about this story is how difficult it is to get any information. The HuffPost has an article and in the comments section info from the lawyer for the victim.  Bottom, line this is about the department of ed, a swat team and student loans.  Nonethelesss, the raid had local police as back-up, and they say they were just along for the ride.

  All of this is just a result of the bad economic policies, and those in government turning to their ultimate tool, violence, to govern for the sake of governing.
