'Sovereign citizens' assault Port Everglades ("evil American patriots")

Amid the explosions, smoke, roaring vehicles and chattering gunfire of a terrorist attack Thursday afternoon at Port Everglades, one fact became chillingly clear:

These weren't foreign-born America-hating terrorists. These were native-born America-hating terrorists. And they were making things difficult for the good guys.

"They're moving, they're taking positions, they have superior firepower," said Sheriff's Deputy Richard Saito. "They're clearly very well-trained, very well-motivated." Of course it wasn't a real terrorist attack, but rather a large-scale SWAT training exercise mounted by the Broward Sheriff's Office involving boats, bus, bombs and booby-trapped hostages.

"This is really a worst case scenario," said Saito, the SWAT team member who concocted the training storyline. In Saito's plot, seven "sovereign citizens," or militia-styled revolutionaries who advocate the government's overthrow, assault the port by boat. Their goal: steal a shipment of arms and ammunition transiting through the facility.....

Are we allowed to question their patriotism?

Probably not.

Broward Sheriff Scott Israel is a liberal bully. He is a tool of the Broward County Democrat Committee, elected only because of the 0bama turnout in 2012. As a LEO he is a failure, was one of the most problematic LEOs in the Ft Lauderdale PD. As a weapon of the left he is quite effective.

Just Duh-1’s private army working out. It really is a worst case scenario when Americans are the target, and not some jihadi types.

Interesting that a Libtard LEO has troubles even in a scenario he wrote.

But, Liberal is as Liberal does.

Assuming, of course, that the whole exercise wasn't done to show how badly they needed more funding.

and briefed the troops afterward

At least the article didn't entirely pretend these were LEOs.

Yep. Obama meant it when he said:
We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

Fascist liberal plantation owners practice hunting down citizens who will not submit to involuntary servitude?

The exercise did not require the extent of alleged “Christian-like motivations” projected upon the people, by the fascist liberal plantation owners?

Yes, this administration has decided that Al Qaeda is an ally and American patriots are the bad guys.

Given that the political stagers of the exercise, attempted to paint with a brush, a target other than the actual criminal activity ...

Treatment of the criminal activity that involves a significant military ability, is lawfully a duty of the state’s militia.

Rather, the political stagers are ramping up into being organized military units, the LEO department(s), and *that is* a danger to all of us, including the LEO’s who abandon our Constitution by their participation.

The lawful basis for the existance of a law enforcement officer (”LEO”), is as a member of the office of the sheriff that is a department within the common law of a state, in these United States; the office of the sheriff is *not* a branch of government.

Within a town, hamlet, village, city, municipality ... an officer may be known as a “police officer” - by convention - instead of “[deputy] sheriff.”

Most people do not know, that the reason a “police officer” is so-named, is because that individual is a member of that office within the common law -— “police officer” has no other meaning: it is not a title, it is not a privilege nor rank, it has no military rank, and nobody can be lawfully required to address a “police officer” as “Officer So-and-So.”

A sheriff, a deputy sheriff, a police officer ... is one of us/you, who accepts the duty to perform a role of enforcing the common law.

We may ask, or even expect, such an officer to resist the criminal activity (sans the politico-paint-brush) that is defined with the common law statutes - *rather than defined by political ‘thought police’* ... yet we require in the statutes, that the actual criminal activity defined in the statutes, be met by the state’s militia, and probably the professionally organized state militia, being the state’s National Guard under command by the governor, lt. governor, or an established committee of the state’s sitting legislators.

Saito, in the article, ties these two terms; “sovereign citizens,” or militia-styled revolutionaries, into the same thing.

How many elder American veterans consider themselves ‘sovereign citizens’?

How many wargames against American citizens, can there be, with none-to-zero wargames, against Continental-United-States-residing-Islamists?

The more the “federalized, militarized, head-shaven, sunglass-donning, formerly-known-as-local-police-departments” do these stunts, the more that they are their own pudding-sticks, to what they might eventually reap!
