Paragould, Arkansas Police to Check Everyone's ID in 2013

Paragould, Arkansas has only 25,000 people, but is one of the most dangerous towns in America.

According to statistics from city-data.com, Paragould has had a property crime index rating that is more than double the national average since 2007. Rapes, burglaries, thefts and assaults are also above the national average.

At a town hall meeting, last Thursday, Mayor Mike Gaskill and Police Chief Todd Stovall endorsed a plan to send police in SWAT gear and carrying AR-15s into downtown Paragould starting in 2013, reports the Paragould Daily Press.

Chief Stovall told the Paragould Daily Press: "This fear is what's given us the reason to do this. Once I have stats and people saying they're scared, we can do this. It allows us to do what we're fixing to do."

"If you're out walking, we're going to stop you, ask why you're out walking, check for your ID. To ask you for your ID, I have to have a reason."

"Well, I've got statistical reasons that say I've got a lot of crime right now, which gives me probable cause to ask what you're doing out. Then when I add that people are scared…then that gives us even more [reason] to ask why are you here and what are you doing in this area."

Mayor Gaskill added: "They may not be doing anything but walking their dog, but they're going to have to prove it."

Chief Stovall explained how martial law will work under his Street Crimes Unit: “We will be asking for picture identification. We will be ascertaining where the subject lives and what they are doing in the area. We will be keeping a record of those we contact."

Maybe the Jewish citizens could wear little yellow Star of David insignia, and the mooslims could wear crescent moons and carry automatic weapons.  Yeah, that's the ticket.

We are well and truly down the rabbit hole.

No, and BULLLSHIIT!  25,000 people and they have a SWAT team? I wonder what they're budget is going to look like when they get their asses sued off. 
How's the answer of "Minding my own business, why don't you do the same" going to go over?
Severe beating? Tasered for an hour? 6 cans of pepper spray? Summary execution up against the nearest wall? And who's minding the barber shop while this goes on...Floyd all by himself?

We are down the rabbit hole indeed...

So how exactly does one get on the SWAT team in a town of 25,000?

Shiney-est jackboot competition?

Best goose stepping?

Maybe these signs should be posted on your way into town:

I bet someone along each road into town would allow it to be put up in their yard....

There used to be a guy who drove a street legal Sherman Tank around downtown Cincinnati with signs on it calling Simon Leis and the Hamilton County Sheriffs office The Gestapo.

Couldn't help but notice him drive by.
