This is the moment cops confronted the leader of Rise of the Moors and he refused to drop his weapons when the citizen militia refueled at the side of Massachusetts interstate - sparking a nine-hour armed stand-off.
Police body camera footage showed Massachusetts State Police approaching two cars with their hazard lights on parked on the shoulder of Interstate-95, near the town of Wakefield, around 1.30am on July 3.
The group of heavily armed men were refilling gas tanks with their own fuel and told law enforcement that they were headed to Maine for 'training.'
Bodycam footage taken by a cop at the scene shows what led up to the standoff. It begins with a cop pointing a flashlight at the cars as the group's purported leader Jamhal Tavon Sanders Latimer, 29, also known as Jamhal Talib Abdullah Bey, approaches him.
The cop questions what the group are doing and Latimer, a former U.S. Marine, says, ‘We’re a local militia from Rhode Island. We’re going to Maine. We weren’t going to be make unnecessary stops. We have fuel in our truck so we can gas up here so that way we could just keep going through.’
The cop asks if they have their licenses and they all say ’No, we don’t have licenses.’ They again say no when asked if they have any forms of identification.
Asked what they were planning, Latimer says, ‘I have private land in Maine so we’re going up to do some training there.’
Latimer agrees to give him personal information and the cop asks for his name, birthday and social security number.
‘I don’t have a social,’ he says and the cop asks, ‘Were you born in the United States?’
The last question the cop, who appears increasingly frustrated...

Too bad Ignatius Reilly couldn’t have seen this.
Old news.
And the Moors and other sovereign citizen types deserve exactly what they get. Sorry.
I might actually agree with some of what they push, but at the end of the day they’re insane Libertarians.
As for these clowns, if they hadn’t run into the woods, worst case scenario is having the car impounded, since I doubt any of them had a drivers license, etc. Being sovereign citizens and all, and them not needing such trivial things.
Kind of flaky, but potential allies in the future.
The ol’ “sovereign citizen” thing never plays well. ;)
Media showed white guys last time this story was reported.
Operational security FAIL.
Luckily they didn’t go to DC on Jan. 6th.
They’d have been in real trouble.
I just want to get in on the fueling up by the side of the road thingy.
It’s been so long since I read that book, don’t get the connection. Could you refresh my memory? Thanks
I agree with you. once guns were out and pointed at the police officers a line had been crossed. you show id and cooperate at the time of the stop. anything that was done wrong by the cops can be addressed later in the courts. this did not have to spin out of control. of course there could be more to the story so let the courts decide if it gets there. not a good answer but this is a messy situation.
Redundant. Stick the word "stupid" in there ...... and it's still redundant.
What this Country needs... The Proud Geezers
6 members of Rise of the Moors will remain held without bail
You’re deluded to think they’re potential allies.
Rise of the Moops!
