SA Equivalent?
 

Hey guys,

Just a short question:

What is is that is currently handled as the equivalent to the German SA?
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung)

I'd like to know this for both America and the UK.

I think I recall it to be the Blackwater troops in America but is there something similar in the UK?

Erm, shouldn't this be pretty easy? I just need to find the right reference. I'm not sure where I read it again. Was it Naomi Wolf? Was it Free Man on the Land?

Re: SA Equivalent?
 

I'm not sure. The government are amping up the powers of Community Support Officers, Traffic Wardens, Car Park Attendants (not kidding) and the like, so it could be them?

I don't think I've seen a direct reference over here as compared with Blackwater in the USA.

Well, I suppose the police here are scary enough. At least in London. I've read about the arresting cards being passed to traffic wardens but I doubt that they are anything comparable.
Thanks anyway!
