SALT LAKE CITY Law enforcement agents with the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service are too "Rambo" to Rep. Jason Chaffetz's liking, so he wants to take away their guns and authority.
"These agents are more Rambo and less Andy Griffith than I would like," he told the Deseret News Tuesday.
Chafftez, R-Utah, said he plans to introduce a bill next week to strip those two agencies of their law enforcement authority and instead set up a system of block grants to states with a lot of federal lands within their borders to augment local law enforcement response.
"Let's not kid ourselves. The blood pressure is running high, especially in southern Utah, and I don't want anyone to get killed," Chaffetz said, adding his bill has the endorsement of his Utah colleagues in the House ...

"I want to know what kind of arsenal they have. I'm met with blank stares," he said. "They're wholly unresponsive. They don't feel compelled to answer our letters."
He said the BLM abruptly canceled its contracts with local county sheriff's offices in Utah ...
Chaffetz said it makes more sense to have elected county sheriffs with public accountability in charge of law enforcement functions in their own geographic areas.

Evidently, even such as that get it right once in a while....
More like drunk high school hall monitors
It's a really, really bad idea to give guns to non law enforcement civil servants such as Firemen, Park Rangers, BLM employees much less some of the other government employees we have armed
“Civil servants”...what a pathetic joke.
You could say that about half the police departments in the country.
Which ones? I know a guy that works at BLM. He doesn’t see any guns, or anyone that wouldn’t be afraid of one.
That explains the door mounts for machineguns reportedly being fitted on some BLM helicopters.
Remember: turn about is fair play....
Speaking of Brownshirts, see second link for Part II released yesterday I believe http://sheriff.deschutes.org/March_8_press.pdf
or to be more graphic read how they began shooting at Finicum as he came up to the deadmans roadblock, they also admit his hands were up when he exited the vehicle. http://sheriff.deschutes.org/Media/OIS-Updates/Finicum_Redacted_Web_03142016_PartII.pdf
Ping to number 28 for part II of the document dump investigation of the Killing of LaVoy Finicum
You are free to read for yourself at the link above, but here is an excerpt. page 123 of the Narrative “Trooper #3 heard an unidentified member of the north containment area fire a few shots at the pickup truck.” This was before they went off into the snowbank.
It continues, “Trooper #3 saw that Finicum’s hands were raised up and there was nothing in his hands.”
When you add this up with the documents released RE Oregon Governors communications, the FBI are criminals in this case. They clearly controlled the Press and the narrative from the beginning. See page 422 “Reporter told to not cooperate with FBI by editor. Omg. OK. Heard it is WW Reporter. He has photos and other evidence. It may get seized.”
By the way, the Governor was also in communication with Loretta Lynch, the White House and Sally Jewel just to name a few. Info here, http://www.veritasresearchconsulting.com/Gov/Oregon-Governor_Office-Malheur_Refuge_Emails.pdf
NOAA has a SWAT team.
I am curious have you seen the full video from Shawna Cox cell phone?
I don’t hear LaVoy cussing, do you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjM5tPTWMFs&feature=share
I don’t care. I was commenting on the fed agencies all having SWAT teams.
Right around the 6:00 mark when Ryan Bundy tried to open the door, more shots rang out. This is like a mafia hit. Can you imagine being in that vehicle?
