Police Chief Forced out After Praising Citizens Armed Against Looters
Breitbart ^ | June 07 2020 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 06/07/2020 1:32:25 PM PDT by knighthawk

The police chief of Lowell, Michigan, was forced to resign Thursday after using a Facebook post to praise four citizens who armed themselves to oppose looters.

WOOD reports Chief Steven Bukala posted a photo of the four armed citizens and wrote, “So these fine young men called me today. They wanted to exercise their Second Amendment rights and walk down Main Street. They saw what happened in Grand Rapids. They said it’s not going to happen here. We have your backs. I thanked them for letting me know they were in town and to call if they see something.”

Was there an advantage for the chief to resign as opposed to be being terminated at 5:01?

He obviously didn’t get the memo that all police and even the National Guard are now required to kneel or grovel in some form at the feet of the rioters, looters, and arsonists.

In Seattle (I think?) there was a man and a woman with the Black Panthers in the march - they had AR’s hanging off their chests. I liked it even though I don’t care for the Black Panthers.

I wonder if the Seattle police chief also thanked them for the notice that they were going to be in town?

All these liberal run city police chiefs are going to be resigning and retiring very soon. I would, knowing my life would be put in more danger soon from these crazy new policies being promoted.

I think of that verse from “Silent Running”

Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stand still

Note to self:

Pick up another 1,000 rounds of .223 tomorrow.

Check on the status of the delivery of one 10mm Tanfoglio on order.

If armed citizens should — heaven forbid — BLAST some commie looter during commission of a felony, an arrest may ensue. It happens.

But the Framers provided for such an event!

For just about any crime, a “trial by jury” may be demanded. Your “peers” on the jury may find you not guilty even if you sure as hell did EXACTLY what they claim you did, right there in front of God and everybody, with video and witnesses. No matter how much the prosecutor wants you convicted, the jury can decide otherwise.

The jury is the last line of defense against injustice, and against unjust laws. By finding you not guilty, when you surely are, the jury is declaring that the law itself is wrong and should be repealed.

So an armed citizen is arrested for actively defending his neighborhood? Yeah, so? I’ll go before a jury to explain that one. You betcha.

To be free, one must obey Creator’s instructions. Much of Israel does not, especially Israel among the nations. Israeli government is slip sliding away also...
