If you think these Democrat run cities are in bad shape now, just wait until the police are completely hogtied, which will be soon.
Okay, so what conservatives are learning is to keep all these arrangements on the down-low. DON’T SAY ANYTHING ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK, for God’s sake!
Is there nothing the left doesn’t win
A message to our citizens:This was written after hundreds of armed militia showed up to patrol Coeur d'Alene and protect the city from antifa and other commie scum.Over the past tumultuous week, our citizens have experienced many strong emotions and witnessed several demonstrations over the senseless death of George Floyd at the hands of members of the Minneapolis Police Department. The majority of protests have been peaceful, but cities around the country have also endured violence, looting, and riots. This is understandably frightening and disturbing.
The message from Mayor Steve Widmyer and Chief of Police Lee White has been a consistent one of equal protection under the law for all citizens and an expression of remorse for all victims of racial injustice. We continue that message today and are committed to providing peaceful, calm avenues of protest for all citizens.
We are fortunate to have a Chief of Police and command staff that routinely train on use of force. They are considered experts in their field and strongly support accountability for any actions inconsistent with the honor of being a law enforcement officer.
Many citizens have inquired about the armed individuals who have been seen intermittently in the downtown area throughout this week. We support the rights of all citizens to express their freedoms granted to them under the U.S. Constitution and Idaho law. We realize that to some citizens the sight of heavily armed individuals is unnerving, yet to others it is reassuring.
Government must always remain content neutral and not pick and choose whose rights to protect. We, the Mayor and Council, have the utmost confidence in the Coeur d’Alene Police Department (and their coordination with other local law enforcement agencies) in their ability to protect our community, and keep our citizens safe. They are expertly trained, well-staffed, and capable. We trust that they can skillfully manage any situation that may arise.
The City of Coeur d’Alene has a long history of supporting and promoting human rights, civil rights, and dignity for all. We continue to be committed to these ideals and ask for all citizens to show compassion for those who are hurting. Please continue to be good neighbors and let’s all work together to effect positive change."
Self defense will soon be a crime in liberal cities.
For this to happen in America.........America is DONE!!
Use firearms to fend off rioters that come to kill you, rape your wife and daughters, steal your possessions and burn your house?
How dare he!/sarc
There is so much to not love or like in USA anymore.
Is there a land of the free and brave to be found upon the earth?
repeal all the gun control laws and large police departments become mostly unnecessary.
Simple to fix. Sign recall petitions and vote out the city council and mayor. Put your own people in. Rehire the police chief. Then fire the city manager and investigate him for crimes.
Why resign? What was wrong with his observation, why not defend it?
Friday night there were reports that the same Mall would be attacked again. The at this mall is situated, you can access it, by driving through an upscale neighborhood, using the side streets.
One group was talking to the police, but it appeared to be a very friendly conversation.
I am sure a lot of people slept better that night, knowing these people were on it.
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?
.
Knowing his Duty he should now start organizing and leading those Armed Citizens ...
.
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
