Thread: Fort Rucker, AL

This is amazing! No one has mentioned this. I only heard it on one news report. No real media is reporting this. This is the only article I oculd find on the internet about it.

The governor didn't depoly them because it's Active Duty. The Army doesn't know why.

Step step step on our civil liberties.

Geneva County (Ala.) Sheriff Greg Ward tells CNSNews.com that he was the one who called in U.S. Army troops from Fort Rucker, Ala., on the night of March 10 – during one of the bloodiest murder sprees in Alabama history.

“I got a message from my 911 dispatcher that said we had a call from a lieutenant colonel at Ft. Rucker just to let us know that Ft. Rucker was there if we needed generators, lights, equipment and stuff like that. I told the dispatcher that I would get back with them,” Ward told CNSNews.com in a telephone interview.

“You’ve got to understand, there was so much going on at one time – we had so many crime scenes over a 20-some odd mile stretch. It was determined that we might be going way into the night on some of these crimes scenes – and when I say crime scenes, I mean people still laying on porches, or the side of the road or whatever, dead.”

Former Samson, Ala., resident Michael McLendon shot and killed nine people in Samson and a 10th victim in a nearby community before killing himself on March 10.

“I called my dispatcher if she could contact the lieutenant colonel and ask him, ‘Could we get assistance from them, with up to 25 military police to simply come in and be able to relieve our officers on barricades where traffic was being deterred, to allow our officers to get something to eat and take a break?"

Dont be so paranoid, the OIC obviously dicked up by sending federal troops without authority but it wasnt malicious, he was trying to help out an overloaded local police force during a pretty serious event. He probably thought it was ok since they were only doing traffic duty and werent armed, but he will likely lose his career over it. Fort Rucker is a very small base in a very rural area. They have a very good relationship with the local police agencies because of all the work they have to do cleaning up behind all the flight schol warrants buzzing local farms and/or making emergency landings. They wind up in the wild securing those incidents all the time, its probably why the OIC didnt see any harm in it.

the reason it hasnt been covered on national news agencies is because it isnt really that big of a deal. a local sheriff called in some help to relieve his officers and get equipment after the deadliest shooting in my states history.

Exactly... he could have deputized common citizens, instead he decided to call on people in uniform who had the experience, equipment and willingness to help out.

He bipassed all the rules. You don't call in active duty troops to police a small town. He could have called the governess office and asked for national guardsmen. But active duty is something controlled the president.
