Friendly shows to desensitize the population

See? We're your friends, we're your protectors, come look at our cool gear. What? Why are we here staging on your municipally-owned school property? I'm sorry, that's none of your business.


"Residents of Livingston, IL., population 850, were shocked to see agents from Homeland Security, the US Customs and Border Patrol and local police agencies swarm a field belonging to a grade school yesterday, with one local telling news channel KTVI, “When all the armored trucks started showing up and everything it made me kind of nervous.”
One child said he thought the spectacle was “pretty cool” and that agents invited the local children to check out the choppers up close, despite the presence of weapons inside the helicopters.
The school superintendent said he was not given any information about the operation beforehand, despite authorities using school land as a staging ground. The U.S. Attorney’s Office refused to release any information on the purpose behind the operation."

So, nobody was arrested for having firearms on school grounds without permission?

The school was a secondary staging ground.
