COPS IN DANGER – AT 9:20 A.M. ET:  It is a new kind of domestic terrorism, directed at cops, and the White House is doing nothing to stop it.  Now there is an FBI warning of a plot that may be carried out this week.  From the New York Post: 

The FBI released an alert Monday warning the NYPD and police departments nationwide of a potentially dangerous anarchist group that says it plans to ambush cops on Halloween.

The extremist group – known as the National Liberation Militia – has proposed a “Halloween Revolt” that encourages supporters to cause a disturbance to attract police and then viciously attack them, the FBI said.

The group has recommended that members wear typical Halloween masks and use weapons such as bricks, bottles and firearms, according to the release.

The NYPD Intelligence Bureau is monitoring the threat, and there is no known link between the threat and New York City law enforcement specifically, the FBI said.

COMMENT:  The FBI bulletin is not surprising.   And the notion of luring police to a scene has been mentioned before.  The president should be out there publicly saying that he will order whatever forces are necessary to counter attacks on law enforcement.  He could, for example, federalize National Guard MP units to augment police.  Or even use regular troops, as was done in Little Rock in 1957 and in other places in the 1960s.  But Obama simply makes meely-mouthed boilerplate denunciations of violence.  Not a leader.  Not a great man.
