-Caveat Lector- http://www.allsouthwest.com/Temple/index.html DOCUMENTARY FILM MAKER MIKE HANSON UNCOVERS MILITARY WORKING WITH LOCAL POLICE AllSouthwest News Austin -- Could Texas be a proving ground for joint military-civilian law enforcement? Many are asking this question as reports are flooding in from across the state of MIlitary Police (MPs) riding with the Texas Highway Patrol. Over the Thanksgiving weekend this MP/civilian police cooperation was documented in Temple, Texas where a Greyhound bus was detained and searched. Temple is located approximately 35 miles South of Waco on Interstate 35. On Wednesday, November 24, Mike Hanson, documentary film producer of Austin, was traveling north on I-35 to supervise the rebuilding of the Branch Davidian Church at Mount Carmel. Hanson came upon an odd scene of both military personnel and civilian police working side-by side searching a Greyhound bus. Hanson recorded the event with a video camera. Black Hawk helicopters hovered nearby as military personnel from Fort Hood unloaded and searched passenger belongings and luggage from the bus which came to a stop near an overpass and filling station. Camouflaged military vehicles were close by, as well as US Government vehicles and local police. Some of the U.S. Government vehicles were of the same make and configuration as those numbering in the hundreds on the grounds of a federal prison in Bastrop, Texas. Hanson was confronted by local police officers who demanded he not film any of the military personal on the scene or their equipment. The following is an exchange between an officer and Hanson captured on tape: Hanson: "What is going on here sir?" Officer: "This is an operation of the EOD....wait that�s not right... Uh, EOD. Uh, I�m not sure what it stands for hold on..." [EOD: military acronym for Explosive Ordinance Disposal, also known as the �Bomb Squad"] Hanson: "So these are military guys here?" Officer: "Yes, they are Army from Fort hood. Don't film their faces!" Hanson: "Why? See, in this country we do not have a Secret Military Police. If they are doing operations in the open the media has a right to film it. �What are they hiding from?" Officer: "I didn�t say you couldn't film there faces. They asked us to ask the press not to film their faces or equipment." Hanson: "Sir, you just said we were not allowed to film their faces." Officer: "Okay, I tell you what: Go right ahead and film. You do that. You go right ahead." As the police officer walked away, Mike kept asking questions and kindly states he is not through interviewing him. The officer had other ideas and said: �Yes, but I am through with you.� Hanson: "So who are these people really?" Officer: "I said we are through with you! You make me nervous, you act like I am part of some conspiracy." Hanson: �So is there a bomb on this bus you have pulled over?� Officer: �There may be.� Hanson: �So that�s why the military is here because of a bomb?� Officer: "Yes, they are here with their dog." With the camera still rolling, another officer walks up and asks why he wants to put this on film. Hanson stated that he makes documentary films and then quizzed the officers on some recent Texas events involving the military. Hanson asked if they knew the elite military Delta Force has been doing training exercises in South Texas. Hanson asked if the officer knew about the Kingsville police station (allegedly abandoned) being suffering explosions and fire in a �practice� exercise. The officer laughed and said: "Bullshit! That�s Bullshit! Was there people in it too?� he asks. [This event was fully documented by numerous news sources] Hanson then informs the officers he is on his way to Mt Carmel and asks them if they know The Branch Davidian Church is being rebuilt? The officer again laughs and says: �I guess they blew it up too didn�t they?� During the entire time Hanson filmed there was never a dog seen. Within a short period of time Dump Trucks from the City of Temple were brought in and parked around the bus to obstruct any further view from Hanson�s camera. No Bomb was ever found and after more than 8 hours the bus and passengers were allowed to continue on their journey. If this was truly a bomb threat, one must wonder why the bus was allowed to be parked next to the filling station? What could be really going on here? Could this be the beginning of a coming American police state with military and local authorities working together in violation of the Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act? On Thanksgiving Day another incident occurred involving military force and U.S. civilian citizens, this time with tragic results. Military Police shot a man dead after a traffic stop in North Caroline outside the post boundaries of Fort Bragg. Chief deputy for the Cumberland County Sheriff�s Office said the MPs never "over reacted" during the situation. See the Photos See the shocking Press Release given to Hanson by police.
