Have a pro-life bumper sticker? Ever said anything negative about the IRS? Maybe you've voiced concerns about the Ammunition Accountability Act that would require each bullet to be engraved with a tracking number. If you have, it's possible that law-enforcement has been trained to treat you as a possible domestic terrorist.
A recent training document from the Missiouri Information Analysis Center, the intelligence and data gathering wing of the Missouri State Police, clearly indicates that law enforcement should treat YOU, if you meet the critera above, as a possible militia member.
From the report: "Anti abortionists have been known to take up arms in support of their beliefs." Are you pro-life? Well, you just might be a risk to 'take up arms' to support your beleifs. It goes on, "These groups communicate through forums, yahoo groups, blogs, and social networking sites." Uh, oh... do you use Facebook or Myspace? Joined a Yahoo group? Better watch out, you criminal! The report also warns against any "Organization established to lobby government officials and confront corruption." I guess anyone who calls their Congressman to oppose idiotic training materials like this being produced with taxpayer money would fall into that category.
This document was Missouri specific. You might want to find out if your state has similar training materials. If so, don't be surprised when you get harassed for your 'political paraphenalia'.
Here's where you can read the 'MIAC Strategic Report - The Modern Militia Movement.' :
Think it looks too simple to be a 'real' official document? So did I. Several calls to the MIAC and emails later, I confirmed the authenticity of the document. People who design sloppy junk like this MAKE POLICY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT! That's almost as disturbing as the content of the document, itself. Call and confirm it for yourself: 866-362-6422. The email on the document is
