#2 ...or make them subject to the UCMJ. That'll put a twist in their knickers. Wait till they get a taste of some 'good order and discipline' in their pay checks.

#3 I'm not against some sort of arming some agents. IRS agents that investigate fraud and conduct raids with the treasury should have a side arm. The same with BLM personal that patrol for poachers or drug grow/lab areas on federal land.

HOWEVER..... SWAT units with automatic weapons and 200 snipers are way...way... WAY out of bounds and make them into a paramilitary police unit. These units have no place in for them and if they need heavy backup they can call the local SWAT team or an FBI SWAT team.

#5 It's all just part of the plan to evade posse comitatus.

#6 Obama was very up front about this. He said he wanted a Federal civilian police force that was as well armed and well funded as the US military.

So people can't say they weren't warned.
