This is chilling. Most Americans have no clue that our system of local police and sheriffs’ departments are what protect us from federal tyranny. It is the reason the sheriffs in CO told the Feds they would not enforce the new gun laws and the Feds backed down.
In police training, the local DA spoke to the new recruits and asked them what they would do if the president told them to arrest someone. The correct answer was “no”. Police and sheriffs are answerable to local authorities. If people were more aware of how important this system is, they would pay more attention to their local elections.
In most other countries, the police answer to the federal commissioner of police (or whatever his title happens to be), and don’t give a rat’s whisker what the locals think.
Obama and the socialists know that they can’t trust local police to do their bidding, and that is why they want federal police. It is very dangerous to our freedom.
You make good points and I agree with you, them.
