>> Otherwise, I hope it never gets to that point, but I’m glad there are police and soldiers who are watchful enough that they refuse to become a latter day incarnation of Hitler’s storm troopers.

Myself, I’m counting heavily on their integrity.

In my view, the *ONLY* federal government agency that has any integrity and professionalism at all is our military. I have no doubt that if a corrupt CinC tried to order them in unconstitutional directions, they would refuse to go there.

I’m a little bit more concerned about some (not all) local police forces. As “real” crime drops, their reason for being is all wrapped up in enforcing environmental laws, hate crime prevention, and other such nonsense.

But I’m betting that any police officer that joins OathKeepers “gets it”. It’s not them that I’m worried about.

That's why I hated to see our small 5 man police force go. We lost 5 good men who knew everyone and mostly lived here. In return we got expensive county police coverage with officers who come and go and have no connection to the community. I have no doubt that many of them are good men but they aren't neighbors.

This cop will stand by his oath. I’d estimate that it’s more like 80/20 on the split between good and bad, based on the cops that I know. And as for the 20% - they aren’t worth much anyway...
