While COINTELPRO has been dismissed as a thing of the past, new documents reportedly prove that the FBI was involved in repressing the Occupy Movement just as it had targeted Black Nationalists and other leftist organizations of in the 60s, 70s and 80s. The document "shows a terrifying network of coordinated DHS, FBI, police, regional fusion center, and private-sector activity so completely merged into one another that the monstrous whole is, in fact, one entity: in some cases, bearing a single name, the Domestic Security Alliance Council."
People have long been pointing out the militarization of police in the United States but according to a Long Island Press report, "By making a few subtle changes to a regulation in the U.S. Code titled “Defense Support of Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies” the Pentagon "has quietly granted itself the ability to police the streets without obtaining prior local or state consent, upending a precedent that has been in place for more than two centuries."
