Is this mental conditioning for NWO? If they tried this here, they might find themselves chomping on a lead sandwich...

'Burglar' cops break into homes
COPS are breaking into homes in a dramatic bid to highlight the risk of being a victim of burglars.
Police from Fortune Greens Safer Neighbourhood Team in West Hampstead, north London, are climbing through windows left open to alert residents to the sinister threat.
Officers are carrying out the mock raids in a high-profile initiative to slash the number of burglaries.
They are committing break-ins across their patch, locking up the property and leaving a calling card to notify the stunned owner that they were there.
A young woman on her own was startled when a uniformed cop strolled into her living room after clambering in through an open bedroom window.
Police said that after her initial shock she was grateful when they gave her crime prevention advice and tips on making her home safer.
Crackdown
In the radical crackdown, codenamed Operation Poppins, police have also upped covert patrols, challenging cold-callers and officials.
Police said they were building up a vital intelligence picture of local crime as they work closely with neighbourhood watch schemes.
PC Adam Owers, of Fortune Green Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT), said: "People don't realise how quickly a burglary can take place and most residents are surprised when we tell them how little it would cost to make their homes safer.
"Burglars are creatures of habit, they are opportunist, and they prey on the easy target."
He added: "Operation Poppins is all about raising people's awareness and, if they see something suspicious, letting them recognise they can tackle it head-on by calling police and the local SNT.
"Likewise, if you're worried about security, call the SNT and we will visit you."
What do you think? Should cops invade your home because you've left a window open?
