Last week there were riots in L.A. and Marietta, GA. A majority of the National Guard was sent to GA as a show to the rest of the country that riots wouldn’t be tolerated. Two rioters were killed. But, I don’t remember them saying how many other cities were afflicted with rioters. ---

Hate to break up the riot fight, but he did say AIFF files and source recording(s). As the other poster said those files are very large and how many converstions would you need from 4 people in order to construct 1 meaningful converstion and nail it so well that it couldn’t be detected by NSA/CTU audio specialist? I personally don’t think it could be done. But I still find it entertaining. ---

**Riboflavin** said: > [@](#): > > Remeber that in 24, the president is ready to send in the regular army because police and national guard can’t restore order. Speaking of the army, what was that gobbledygook about you can’t call in the army on U.S. Soil only the marines or the navy. Wah? What is that about? And what did Palmer say when chief of staff guy tells him he can’t call in the Army, and Palmer replies you mean because of something or other? ---

The _Posse Comitatus_ law (which Palmer correctly cites) does indeed prevent the federal government from using its standing armies against the US civilian population. ---
