U.S. Marine helicopters will land at the old Eastgate Consumer Mall, Brookside Park and other Indianapolis locations when the city becomes a mock battlefield next week. About 2,300 Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., will conduct urban warfare training from Wednesday through June 19 in and around Indianapolis. Most of the troops will be deployed at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and the Raytheon facility on Holt Road, said Debbi Fletcher of the Indianapolis/Marion County Emergency Management Agency. “We don’t want anyone thinking that there’s an invasion happening or that we declared martial law or something like that,” Fletcher said. The Marines have been cleared by state, federal and local authorities, Fletcher said. The unit’s commander promised to try to keep noise to a minimum and give neighbors plenty of warning. “Our aim in Indianapolis is to expose our Marines to realistic scenarios and stresses posed by operating in an actual urban community, thereby increasing their proficiency in built-up areas,” Col. Mark J. Desens, commander of the 26th MEU, said in a statement. “While some of the activity will take place around Camp Atterbury, residents in many areas can expect to see helicopters flying overhead, military vehicles on the roads and Marines patrolling on foot,” Desens said. The Marines will practice firing weapons, conducting patrols, running vehicle checkpoints, reacting to ambushes and employing nonlethal weapons, according to a statement. In addition to Eastgate and Brookside Park, Indianapolis offered the Marines 24 other training sites, including Raymond Park Middle School, Ellenberger Park, Christian Park, Southeastway Park, the old Bush Stadium and Douglass Park. However, not all cities are so open to the training. In February, after first canceling scheduled training, Toledo (Ohio) Mayor Carty Finkbeiner invited the Marines to train in the city, but outside the downtown area.

“We don’t want anyone thinking that we're training for when martial law is declared or something like that,” Fletcher said.
I shall not vote for evil, lesser or otherwise.
Someone living there should sue the dumbshit mayor and city council.
It would be good for "someone" that lives there to tape their tactics. That kind of info will come in handy sometime.
Will there be puppy-tossing??
The very idiots who should have told the marines to go pound sand with their martial law drills.
The sheriff could veto the entire "exercise" and it doesnt matter who else said it was OK. But most sheep think the sheriffs dept are nothing more than uniformed process servers that occasionally patrol out in the sticks.
You are correct, Sir.
Screw that, I'm gonna go put up posters warning of upcoming La Migra raids.

If it were anywhere but Indy, I'd be fit to be tied.
Eastgate mall needs blowed up.

You better hope we don't think that, or we will fight back, guaranteed.
God is always good!
Raytheon? I didn't know Indy had a Raytheon plant. They prolly make the gas canisters for the Amtrak facility in Beach Grove.

I take it you live in Indy? If so, what do you think of Beech Groves' RR as a possible detention center? I've seen the video, but I am curious about a locals input on this.
I know as much as anyone else that has spent 10 minutes investigatng it. Only special insight I have is that my fmr Congressional Rep, Julia Carson, had a multimedia presentation of it being nothing more than a railroad service facility, and I also know a few people who were laid off from same, from my yodeling days.
