Police State 2009: Pentagon to militarize USA with 20,000 troops
In direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, which forbids military troops from playing a role in domestic law enforcement, the Pentagon has announced plans to station 20,000 armed, uniformed troops inside the United States where they will walk the streets, ready to "respond to terrorism events," says the Pentagon.
It's against the law, but since when did the Bush Administration or the Pentagon pay any attention to law in the first place?
Here at NaturalNews, we've warned about the coming police state for many years. Now it is upon us, with the mass militarization of our cities and streets. It won't be long before we'll start hearing "papers please" as we try to move about our own cities in a nation many people foolishly believe to still be "free."

Now, an explanation for that number by Jesus del Norte (h/t Adored by Hordes):
Strategic Math and Chekhov's Gun
Every US City is surrounded by ‘circle freeways’, and with the average number of exits for these circle freeways being around 50, and with the number of armed troops needed to secure each exit being 6, and with only one heavy combat vehicle needed for each squad of 6 soldiers, the first 67 largest cities in the United States can be sealed off and contained within 24 hours by just 20,000 troops.

There is a literary principle known as Chekhov's Gun: "When a gun shows up in the first act, it will go off in the third".

Of course, this still leaves the problem of how to manage all the people inside the cities. But then again, we have lots of police departments with Homeland Security grants. See, first you apply the Major Instruments of Terror, and then when the people get all excited and panicked, you are (reluctantly, of course) Forced to Calm Them Down with Lesser Instruments of Terror such as Raytheon pain rays, tasers, etc.
