Massachusetts police responding to group of armed men claiming to not recognize laws

A bizarre incident is playing out Saturday morning in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Local police are saying that "during a motor vehicle stop, several heavily armed men claiming to be from a group that does not recognize our laws exited their vehicles and fled into the woodline" near I-95.

"Approximately 8 males fled into the woods carrying rifles and handguns and appear to be contained in the wooded area adjacent to the highway," the Wakefield Police Department said in a statement. "No threats were made, but these men should be considered armed and dangerous."

Massachusetts State Police, who are also on the scene, tweeted early Saturday: "We have several armed persons accounted for at this scene on Rt 95. They are refusing to comply with orders to provide their information and put down their weapons. We are asking residents of Wakefield and Reading to shelter in place at this time."

At around 6:40 a.m. ET, state police announced that two suspects were arrested by members of The Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (NEMLEC) in Wakefield. Police took them into custody and transported them to one of their barracks.

"The situation is ongoing w/remaining members of the group. We continue to work to resolve the situation peacefully," they tweeted. Police said a "heavy police presence" will remain in the area, and they are asking residents to lock their doors and stay home.

Cops were probably more concerned about bullets coming their way than counting people.

send in the Marines.
they kicked them moorish asses in 1804 July 14 with Decatur.
Even the pope praised the US Navy and Marines
“ Pope Pius VII stated, “The United States, though in their infancy, have done more to humble the anti-Christian barbarians on the African coast than all the European states had done...”[4]
This is when there were real popes with balls.

“ There is a large black ‘sovereign citizen’ movement. That could be what’s going on here”

You may be right. They get zero media attention from libtards but a lot of black radicals with guns running around without much notice.

In fact they’re so oppressed that black radicals have armed parades with evil assault weapons where I live.

Not one single libtard utters a peep about it.

Did the FBI forget to notify local police of this false flag event?

How much traction this event gets or how quickly it disappears from the news cycle will tell us what's really going on.

and they are asking residents to lock their doors and stay home.

It would be a better idea to tell residents to grab their ARs and stand on their front porch.
