Why the Sudden Barrage of Live-Fire Military Drills at Schools?

An unannounced Army drill with military helicopters and machine gun fire simulating a raid on an empty school terrorized a Houston community on Monday.

It was reported that residents were shocked and scared by the sight and sounds of the raid.
“When you see this, you think the worst. When you hear this, you think the worst,” resident Frances Jerrals said. “I felt like I was in a warzone. It was nonstop. I was terrified.”

Apparently, the residents we’re the only ones who were shocked by the drill. The local government was also not informed of the drill and held an emergency meeting with Anise PArker of Houston to open discussion of the mock attack.City council reacts to DoD training with blanks out of machine guns. With recent stories of mass shootings and control of weapons in America(land of the free right). DoD is training over urban populations now. Not only frightening the public, but showing the Hippocraticy of the federal gooberment............

This intense and terrifying drill came only days after a similar drill in Miami.

 And it’s announced that live gun fire (with blanks) will be used in yet another mock school raid in Chicago yesterday. According to CBS:
A school shooting drill planned for tomorrow in the far northwestern suburbs has many parents upset.
According to a letter from Cary-Grove High School principal Jay Sargeant, there will be a code red drill at the school on Wednesday.
It will include somebody shooting blanks from a gun in the hallway “in an effort to provide our teachers and students some familiarity with the sound of gunfire.”

The only reason given for these drills so far is poor at best. Cary Police Chief Steven Casstevens said, “From the school’s request, they want to let the students know what the sound of gunshot might be, should that occur in their school.”
