I don't get it, you have the best equipped and most responsive police force in the world. They are well armed, care about the citizens of the country and their property rights. They can be deployed in the hundreds, possibly thousands, in minutes and they don't cost a dime.
They're called THE PEOPLE.

This is the beginning to something more sinister, I can feel it. I don't quite know what it is yet, but it's definitely not going to be positive.

Afghanistan Surge Cover for bringing more troops under Northcom
There are many other web pages if you google anything to do with Obama, Northcom, and the numbers 200,000 or 1,000,000. All the pages I have come across link back to the same article from the EU times, that doesn't seem to come up for me. I don't know whether or not it is true, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it were.

I smell a Trojan Horse . If I had to unleash my inner conspiracy theorist he would no doubt say that this is a precautionary step TPTB are going to pursue in order to try and beef up their numbers to deal with possible future revolts. Lets face it, 6000 more working for TPTB wont aid them that much IMHO. I don't have the numbers, but I would wager that if revolution ever broke out in the US the governments forces would be grossly outnumbered in comparison to the masses revolting. If any of you, my fellow ATSers, have more time on your hands then I, and are willing to crunch the numbers, what are the odds? Civilians that could possible revolt vs the foot soldiers of the government?
