[JJ2]

Here is the video of Rand Paul using the same argument during his filibuster on the Senate floor about someone coming out of a liquor store with a gun:

'he or she brandishing a weapon' that's what i've been saying what he meant..

he used 'with a gun' on cavuto show instead of 'brandishing a weapon' and people (apparently i shouldn't use any offensive language) who can't read between the lines just pile on him.. pathetic beyond words can describe..

Doesn't matter. He is wrong. We do not need aerial mechanized weapon platforms. Period. I don't need to read between the lines if this is his position.

Are helicopters ok?

 

[ClydeCoulter]

Is robbery a crime punishable by death? I'm for De-escalation, when possible.

 

[EBounding]

I'm all for the police having drones, tanks and helicopters as long as the people are allowed to have these things too.

Fine if you feel that way. But Rand's point is: I was clumsy on Cavuto, yeah, but I've been consistent in my arguments on drones. Ridiculous to suggest I've changed my stance.

Cops shouldn't get cars either. Horseback for you!!!

Someone actually decided to re-watch all 13 hours of the filibuster to find this one clip... it's either really impressive or really sad.

Whatever, if your personally opposed to drones being used by law enforcement because of whatever reason that's fine, but it still doesn't make him wrong. Lethal force can be repelled by lethal force, the principle stays the same and the form it takes largely irrelevant. Maybe if law enforcement begins to use mechanized weapons that are militarized, it could then be a violation of the posse comitatus act. It really depends how these weapons are used and if they are used within proper constitutional restraints, then I don't see much of a problem with them.

 

[T.hill]

Or It could be construed to be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, but that would be one hard sell. Local law enforcement agencies could actually use militarized weapons to enforce laws, again, if they are used with proper constitutional restraints. If a federal law enforcement agency were to use militarized weapons to enforce laws, then it could definitely be a violation of posse comitatus.

LOL... Rand mentioned yesterday on Hannity that his office was going to put up the video. I'm guessing they already knew exactly where to find it.
