Politifact has an interesting article on the cyber police topic: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/jul/06/andrew-napolitano/glenn-beck-host-says-obama-may-soon-be-able-shut-d/ Politifact says that
it is technologically possible for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to significantly limit the flow of Internet traffic
because
the network operator community is fairly tight-knit, so "it is conceivable that (network operators) could coordinate a response to a major event and terminate basic connectivity within a matter of minutes." Network operators who maintain the Internet backbone share cell phone information, have regular meetings, and often work together through established channels in emergencies.
