Here is the wrap up of this story - the Army admits it violated Posse Comitatus:
www.military.com...
The report from the Department of Army Inspector General found the use of military personnel in Samson violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which
prohibits federal troops from performing law enforcement actions. The names of those involved were redacted from the report. The officer who made the
decision to send the Soldiers thought he had the authority based on his experience with responses to Hurricanes Katrina and Andrew, the report said.
Back story on the precipitating factors leading to the rampage:
www.alternet.org...
the true reason why the Army was called out in the first place, something that goes right back to the cause of the shooting rampage: billionaire
exploitation of the local Alabamans, not just by the chicken oligarch, but from higher up the predator food chain -- Wall Street banking behemoth JP
Morgan Chase.
You see, thanks to a combination of corporate-tax holidays (which reduce local revenues), billionaire greed like the sort that bankrupted Pilgrim's
Pride, and Wall Street investment-banking scams on places like Alabama that result in corrupted local officials and bankrupted municipalities,
counties and states
