WASHINGTON - January 20, 2010 - The Rand Corporation has called for the creation of an Army force that is trained to perform police functions, despite prohibitions of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Given the United States government’s response to the natural disaster in Haiti, there is increased interest and scrutiny in the ability of the Amerikan military to perform critical police functions in a nation whose infrastructure is destroyed, leaving domestic law enforcement ill-equipped to handle the typical immediate increase in lawlessness (looting, burglary, etc.) that flourishes in the post-cataclysmic chaotic free-for-all.

Since headlines in all the major national papers record that a military force more equipped for conquering than controlling populations faces seemingly insurmountable challenges when acting in a policing capacity, the Rand Corporation has come to the rescue.

The Rand Corporation is the establishment’s go-to think tank for the pseudo-scientific justification for both the planned and perfidious expansion of government and the corresponding contraction of liberty. The latest Rand report, prepared at the behest (and on the dime) of the United States Army, is over 200 impenetrable pages long and proclaims loudly the urgent need for a “Stability Police Force.”
