From Local Police to Occupying Army, or LESO: The Greater of Many Evils
There are Peacekeepers deployed in US cities, but they're not under UN command.
They're armored personnel carriers supplied to “local” police agencies for little or no cost through the Pentagon's Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO), established in 1995 as part of the Defense Logistics Agency.
Since that time, the LESO has made huge amounts of military hardware – from boots to helmets to ammo to helicopters and the “Peacekeeper” APCs – available to local and state police agencies, often at little or no cost.
If you're interested in watching the Pentagon's promotional video for the LESO's campaign to militarize “local” police, go to this page maintained by the DLA. At the bottom of the links you'll find one leading to “LESO Get With The Program Video.” Follow that link, and – assuming you can withstand the barrage of really obnoxious whitebread canned pseudo-funk PSL music – you will have the entire program explained to you.
