I see. Somehow I have a hard time seeing most police officers willing to do that.
And there aren’t enough feds to even pretend to try something like that.
I can't envision the Sheriff of Polk County Arkansas doing this either. I would guess that there are many county sheriffs' in his home state of Texas that would find this idea unconstitutional and non comply. This guy needs is a perfect example of why we need a Baker Act.
I believe Matt Bracken wrote that they’d import Khazakistani (sp?) mercenaries to do the job.
“I see. Somehow I have a hard time seeing most police officers willing to do that.”
1. That’d be federal law, and we don’t enforce federal law or obey the orders of the feds.
2. My family all own ARs and AKs. I’m not going to go around taking the legally owned and not unlawfully used property of other people while other officers do the same to my family.
3. I don’t really like the idea of leaving the job in a zippered bag. If my chief orders me to do anything like that, I’m putting my badge on his desk and walking out.
He also said that most of his fellow officers would do the exact same thing. They KNOW that they might do 5 or 10 successful raids, and that not long after that they’ll be severely wounded or killed.
We are in San Antonio - certainly a large city, but also not a large and overwhelmingly liberal city like the coastal shitties, Shitcago or even Houston. But if a lot of this particular big city’s force won’t participate, I know for a fact that almost no one in rural areas will, and that a large percentage of cops in other cities won’t, either.
Feds? They’ll become the new Redcoats - and so will their families.
