Do Not Resist Page #3

militarization of police.

I think it's very important

to remind our fellow citizens

that we all tell a lie to our children.

I have five children, and all five of

them have woken up during the night,

afraid of monsters.

And so I have lied to them,

and I've told them that

monsters aren't real.

"Go back to sleep.

Monsters aren't real."

Monsters are real.

Monsters are barricaded

inside apartments

waiting for law enforcement to respond

so they can fire rounds that

will pierce a ballistic vest.

Because of that reality,

because monsters are real,

we need a range of weapons

and equipment to respond

and protect our fellow citizens

and protect ourselves.

It is all the more important that we,

as people who are responsible

for securing this country,

remain tightly connected to each other.

And I thank you

for your commitment to our

joint terrorism task forces

and to the fusion centers,

which are the embodiment

of that cooperation.

That is the way we stay responsive

to a metastasizing and changing threat.

You don't need this.

You really don't.

I was a colonel... I'm a retired

colonel in the Marine Corps.

I saw a sign back there that said,

"We want more Mayberry

and less Fallujah."

And I spent a year in Fallujah.

The way we do things in the military

is called "task organization."

You take a command and then

you attach units to it

in order to accomplish the mission.

What's happening is we're

building a domestic military

because it's unlawful, unconstitutional

to use American troops on American soil.

So I don't know where we're gonna use

this many vehicles and this many troops.

Concord is just one

little cog in the wheel.

We're building an army over here and I can't

believe that people aren't seeing it.

- My wife always told my kids...

- Thank you very much.

...there's always free cheese

in the mousetrap.

I understand that the police

officers run toward danger,

and that is an admirable thing,

but we need to put things

into perspective.

This is from the federal government's

National Safety Council.

Your chances of dying

from a terrorist attack

are one in 20 million.

So we need to put the brakes on the fear

and we need to act rationally.

Terrorism works because

it makes people irrational,

and it makes them destroy themselves.

- That's what's happening.

- Thank you very much.

If you had told me 20 years ago

when I was serving my country

and defending it

against the Soviet Union,

that someday we would have

armored personnel carriers

used to roam the streets

of Concord, New Hampshire,

I would have told you,

you were a raving lunatic.

Because that sort of thing

doesn't happen here in America,
