Among the many travelers in New York City are members of the New York Air Force National Guard and the New York Army National Guard: Here is a photo the United States Air Force Facebook page uploaded:

Here is an excerpt from an article published August 20th, 2012, on the Airman:
“It’s their show, really,” Riley said, referring to the local police departments. “We’re here solely as an aid to them. We have no law enforcement responsibilities, and we can’t arrest people. This isn’t a martial law scenario.”
What the JTF Empire Shield teams do add are extra eyes as they help local law enforcement agencies scan the area for any sign of suspicious behavior. The Soldiers and Airmen may not be able to arrest anyone, but they can stop someone from entering an unauthorized area or use whatever force necessary when someone is brandishing a weapon or explosive device.
Despite their reassurance that this is not “a martial law scenario,” I would say, in my opinion, whenever there is troops on the streets it is a practice of martial law. President Barack H. Obama has also clearly prepared to implement martial law after his signatures of the National Defense Authorization Act and the National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order. So, It would only make sense that the troops would be practicing martial law and policing activities.
This military activity in New York is also in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. But, what else is new in this land completely thrashed from one end to the other? It is sad to see in our country troops patrol the streets “helping local law enforcement,” conduct policing activities. Our founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves saying “we told them so.” Here is a quote from Thomas Jefferson:
”If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered…I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies… The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
