Cause Sheriff's are elected officials and Police Chiefs and police forces are hired and answer to mayors, city councils and city managers.

Sheriff's answer directly to the voter in most states.

I used to work with the Sheriff of Orange County, CA, Don Barnes. This was in the mid 80s he was a loan funder at Western Financial Savings Bank on Katella. Everybody liked him. Funny, hard worker, witty, kind and gentle. Tall guy, about 6’4 or 5.

One day he announced he was leaving to become a CHP. A few years ago, I found out he was Sheriff of the OC. No surprise. And his name has been mentioned on FOX a few times in the last few days. Apparently, he will refuse to enforce Newsome’s orders. No surprise. No surprise at all. Good guy.

It’s about time. Remember the ones that stood up for the constitution when they had to defy shutdown orders. Hold the others accountable.

Sheriffs are generally elected.The rural ones will stand with the people.

Yes, we see here a common sense application or non application of the law/”order!”
The Sheriffs of EVERY COUNTY IN THE USA are the last line of defense for the freedoms of “We the People!”

Choose your Sheriff wisely, Amen.

These shutdowns violate teh First Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, and arguably the Fourth Amendment, as well as possibly others.

When the governor of NM can block access to Gallup, the war has begun. She has the backing of the law on her side. The national guard. The cops. There will be no country left in two more months.

32 million without jobs. Throw in a spouse and a kid and you have 100 million people whose lives have been destroyed. That’s almost one third of the country.

Think of all the food products made in factories. With those factories shut down, the food supply is shut down. With no job, no food, you have no life. No home, no school. Eventually governments will be laying of our precious government workers. That’s what? Another 50 million people?

The stupidest thing ever was to shut down the country. We may never recover. We will never be the same. As my buddy likes to say. ...just keep buying ammo. ....

Yes that’s appalling. The tyrant of New Mexico declares full martial law and no patriots oppose her. I am hoping other areas are more patriotic and interested in defending liberty. There should be massive demonstrations and court challenges. We will see if any of the sheeple awake

“Obey lawful orders.”

What *is* a lawful order?

Same here in my area of southern indiana. Our restriction wasnt as severe as other places but people have been going about their life. The police have basically said unless you are doing something totally stupid they are leaving you alone.

Good grief! What a crock of bull. I wear a mask every flu season and will continue to do so regardless. I didn’t start with COVID. I don’t wear one because “they” told me too. A lot of people my age with lung or other issues wear one during flu season. That doesn’t make me one of “them”. I don’t care if you or anybody else wears one or not.

I lived 15 years in Japan and mask wearing there has been around since. ...forever. ....like you, they wear one to help protect themselves and folks around them. One must do what one thinks best. ..and ignore idiots that feel otherwise.

What I was talking about was not necessarily about mask wearing, but more about the government taking away our liberties and constitutional rights. The government has become insanely drunk on power and their determination to control our lives. ...right down to dictating who and what job is essential and what is expendable.

The war that is brewing is us v. The government. The government is using the covid flu as their excuse to control our lives. Freedom must never be controlled by the government. Freedom is just one generation away from being lost.

Like what 0bama would say about the constitution. ....”it’s a failed document because it doesn’t say what the government CAN. Do to you....”

Hope this clears things up.

I have noticed that the sheriffs across this country are far more inclined to back the constitution than regular LEO’s I wonder why this is!!!


As designed by our Founding Fathers. Local Elections, Local justice.........................

The lockdown has morphed from control of Covid-19, to control of people. We’re in an “arms race.” Any good news is immediately countered by another “we all gonna die” narrative. We have learned much in this panicdemic... that those who seek to RULE us as if we’re serfs, not govern by our consent as citizens... are OK with despotism! The more the better. And any questioning... much less opposition to liberty stealing draconian measures... is “wanting people to die!”

Which again proves... ALL tyranny is done for the “good” and “safety” of the people!

And I agree with all of that. Nobody should be forced. Our rights shouldn't be restricted due to this virus. People need to look after themselves. People need to get back to work. If it gets people back to work I agree with workplaces requiring their employees to wear a mask as long as they are working, until this is over anyway. I can see both sides of the issue but I'm getting a little touchy over the mask hate because people are being targeted and threatened for wearing them. I apologize for jumping on you! It was early and I hadn't had coffee yet. 😁

Those cops should be fired immediately. And the woman should have told them she has a right to remain silent, and to vacate the property. I would be hiring me a pitbull of a lawyer and sue the living shit out the cops, the state, the governor, and anyone else I could think of.
