>>>>OK I’m not familiar with this, what happen? —— “military commanders deployed U.S. Army active duty combat troops into the small civilian community of Samson, Alabama last week in a demonstration of their newly received despotic, domestic police power.”
Soldiers from Fort Rucker were sent to Samson after 11 people died in a shooting spree March 10. Geneva County Sheriff Greg Ward said that after the shootings — as officers protected and processed crime scenes “scattered over 20 miles” — he asked for assistance from Fort Rucker.
Ward said after meeting with the state agencies, police departments and city officials involved, he realized “we did not know how long this was going to be prolonged. We had officers down here who had already been on duty 12 hours or more.”
Ward said he had his dispatcher call Fort Rucker again and request about 25 officers “to come to Geneva County. They were here at our request, giving our officers a chance to get something to eat, to take a break before going back on duty. They had no investigative duties, no police powers. All they did was direct traffic.”
And, if the folks at the army base had not helped out, would not these same people turned it around and blamed them? Sometimes, when you don’t like someone nothing they do is right, you know what I mean? I think these people, from their posts, distrust and hate this president, so anything he does is wrong. I’m convinced he didn’t even know this was happening, he’s a little busy cleaning up the last guy’s mess and this probably wasn’t even a blip on the radar. It’s not like he’s losing votes in Alabama. I would think if these people are so offended they should look to their local law enforcement for answers...someone called the army and now refuses to accept responsibility, that’s cowardly to let the president take the blame. Are not Christians supposed to be honest?
