“Did We Go To War?” Terrified Indiana Residents Woken By Unannounced Military Exercise

After last summer’s Jade Helm military drills, and just weeks after FEMA’s mass arrest drills in Texas, it is little wonder that the residents of Beech Grove, Indiana were terrified upon being awoken last night by the sound of bombs and helicopters, and flooded the emergency 911 call network with requests for information and reports of explosions. As Sputnik News reports, police officials quickly confirmed to alarmed residents that it was a scheduled military training exercise.

While some residents reported being forewarned of the late night drill, many others were taken by surprise. Members of the community reported hearing what sounded like bombs and seeing low-flying helicopters.

 

As FOX59 reported, Beech Grove residents say they saw helicopters flying low over the area and heard what sounded like several loud explosions.

According to police officials, this activity was part of a scheduled military training exercise near the old St. Francis Hospital.

 

Police say this was training exercise was scheduled and there is no threat to anyone in the area.

 

Many viewers were upset about the drills, saying they didn’t have any advance warning and were alarmed by the loud noises. Some people said they received a knock on the door letting them know what was going on.

Local news covered the event…

 

Several residents took to social media to write about the training exercises and what they saw…

Anyone know what’s going on in the sky above Beech Grove right now? Did we go to war and no one mention it?

it sounds like bombs are going off in beech grove…

anybody else see about half a dozen black choppers flying super low over the beech grove area? Also sounded like shots or explosions?

Beech Grove was just

“We’re sorry people were startled,” Beech Grove Police Capt. Robert Mercuri told the Indianapolis Star. “We hope they understand that the city of Beech Grove was trying to help the people who protect us everyday.”

 

Are these increasingly regular training sessions a harbinger of things to come?With Anti-Trump protesters being arrested en masse just today, one wonders.

For now it is unclear, however as Paul Joseph Watson notes, “police departments across the country are buying riot gear in expectation of more Ferguson-style civil unrest sweeping the country.”  Maybe they know something.

One of these days during heightened international tensions they’re going to pull of one of these unannounced and unexpected military assault things and someone will think it is a genuine “Red Dawn” attack and open fire on them.

And they will, IMO, deserve it.

Just part of the gradual de-sensitization of the general population to war like conditions, in anticipation of …….

Or just another “in your face I double dare you to retaliate” provocation by the piece of shit in the oval office and his band of rat-bastard commie traitors.

What anonymous said. And then one of two things will happen:

1) There will be multiple casualties because the “training” troops don’t have live ammo, as they are not supposed to for any training event; or

2) The “training” troops will shoot back, revealing that this wasn’t training at all (because live ammo is absolutely barred from this type of training).

citizens are not going to fire upon overhead helicopters…
the military are prepping for economic collapse and the
subsequent mayhem in the streets…we need to understand the
depth and breadth of the crisis that will follow when folks are
faced with the loss of the basics required to sustain life and limb.

the bankers WILL BE PAID and they own everything because
“everything” has been collateralized, including our very selves.
And guess what? They are sick of us…soooo, they will clap
with glee as we die, and then they will sweep through and collect
on the debt owed. I believe even the smarties are unaware of the
extent to which the country has been totally stolen. Stolen, while
we slept.

Not war. Just one dude who pissed of the government enough that they had to go in and get his ass and use a drill to cover it up like they always do.
