Indeed ... except for the Traffic Officers that issue tickets in order to increase revenues. That fits the definition of "Highway Robbery."
Omaha Police Expands Force With Help of Federal Grants The Associated Press Omaha, Neb. (AP) -- Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey announced Wednesday that with the help of two federal grants, the city is adding more officers to its police force. By this fall, the department plans to have 781 uniformed officers hired and sworn in, an increase from 724 officers the force has on the streets now. Fahey said as Omaha grows, so must its law enforcement. He made the announcement in west Omaha, where the city is most rapidly expanding. "This increase in uniformed patrols all over the city will ease the strain from our growing boundaries here in west Omaha," Fahey said. Police Chief Thomas Warren said to get to 781 officers, the department will hire 18 already trained and certified officers this summer. The other new officers will come from two recruiting classes scheduled to graduate from the training academy _ one in the spring and one in the fall. Copyright 2010 Associated Press.

That's because it's complete and utter nonsence. And not many wanted to embarrass themselves by associating with such a ludicrous notion.
Lets hope you are right. Wasn't this Emanuel's brilliant idea published in a book? He was even interviewed on the subject was he not? Looks like the Chief of Staff is a kook. Throw out a lame Marxist idea and see what happens?
A coup? why not just rape and pillage other countries using our mighty military: We liberated Iraq... Free oil, persian rugs and a harem for all. Once We liberate Afghanistan its free Hash for all. Might as well take on Japan so we can all get free toyota's and sony gear. Need java and blow... lets take on the Colombians. The problem with having a military economy and being a military power is you always need an enemy to sustain...
Who is "Emanuel," Rahm? I wouldn't know anything about any book he may have written. Never read anything by him. Yet I'd be shocked if he advocated a "Military Coup," anywhere, at anytime for any regime. Could you provide a link that might illustrate your point better?
There will be no coup, no revolution, just a bunch of people pissing and moaning, myself included. Let's face it, most of us still have too much to lose. Who among us is ready to take the first bullet? Lead the charge up the White house lawn? Risk life in prison? Death? Not me, and not you either.
