“Well if their thoughs were about killing cops I don’t think they are the same as the Founding Fathers”

I am not condoning the killing of cops or anything, although I’m also not condemning their actions yet. However, I did want to point out that your statement is a little misleading. Our founders DID actually support killing of the “cops” of their day. Remember the Boston Massacre? British troops often patrolled the harbors and cities as the crown-designated police force, which maintained authority over the local law enforcement authorities. These troops often abused their positions or enforced unjust laws (taxes, etc.), which eventually led to our revolt.

Again, I’m not condoning the killing of any of our troops or law enforcement officers/agents, but if a CWII or a revolution becomes necessary, these cops/troops are either gonna be with us or against us and we may be forced to follow in the footsteps of our founders. Many of these officer/agents and troop are oatkeepers, but many only love the power of their position and do not feel bound by the Constitution.
