Heretofore ignored by the legacy press and mainstream media, in February, federal authorities invaded a neighborhood in the Flathead Valley with militarized police and terrorized its occupants with what appears to be Waco-level tyrannical overreach.
In 1992, a federal siege occurred in Boundary County, Idaho, at a location known as Ruby Ridge. The eleven-day siege lasted from August 21-31 and resulted in the deaths of one U.S. Marshall, and the wife and son of Randy Weaver, the target of the siege. This event captured the attention of the nation. To secure the land around this seven-person home composed of three adults and four children, the federal government saw fit to send in hundreds of federal agents, as well as associated vehicles and air support. . .
. . .The reasons for the siege are not pertinent here, but the fact is many lessons were learned as a result. Those lessons revolved around Rules of Engagement, the use of force, and other legal concerns. One would have hoped the lessons would be applied in future encounters, but in 1993 the same FBI Hostage Rescue Team commander took part in the siege and raid of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. After fifty-one days, the compound was breached and seventy-five people were killed, including twenty-five children. Nearly thirty years after Ruby Ridge, it seems that the only real lesson federal agencies applied from Ruby Ridge and Waco is that they needed to do a better job of keeping their activities out of the eyes of the public. Why? Because a similar event occurred in Western Montana on February 2, 2021, and it’s likely you’ve not heard anything about it.
In the early Tuesday morning hours, motion sensors alerted the occupant . . ."

That's what they did in my county when they arrested someone for the Jan 6 break-in. The sherriff knew nothing about it. Of course, if they would have needed help, the sherriff was quick to say they wouldn't get it, and would be escorted out of the county. I suspect they knew this, and that's why they didn't give him a call.
Agreed. In the City and County of Denver the "sheriff" is appointed and is a glorified jail warden. The other sheriffs in CO are elected and more than a few consider themselves "constitutional" sheriffs and refuse to enforce federal and state laws they believe violate the oaths they swore to.
I’ve got a confession to make. I am white (and a little bit Indian-Native American...whatever) AND, I confess that I am “superior” to some. I am superior to people who kill babies. I am superior to idiots who go amok talking about 57 genders. I am superior to nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, democrats, the left... who constantly spout lies. Yes! I am better than they are. I don’t kill babies or advocate for it. I know that we are all (because the science of “Biology”) born either male or female. AND, I do my damnedest to tell the truth. Yes I am better than those who kill babies, spout idiotic bs and lie through their teeth. don’t. But it’s got NOTHING to do with race! I’ve known others of other races and worked with them that were fine people and became friends with them. They weren’t leftist scum! In short, I confess that I am superior to leftist scum.
I know you like to think that, boy. I understand your affinity for fed jackboots.

I’m actually a bit surprised that this isn’t all over the national news.
The feds are intentionally using outrageous overwhelming force to cow all conservative thought, much less conservative action.
They do seem to be trying to push people into doing something drastic, so that they can really crack down.
And now that the Military has gone full leftist political thug too, conservatives are going to have to band together to have any hope of survival while living to their value system.
In the case of Roger Stone, they wanted the publicity. It was a set-up so as to get max publicity.
Several of the Oath Keepers arrests were publicized for the same reason.
But I think in this case they were made fools and they are not really anxious to have that all over the TV and papers.
When you get cocky, you eventually crash and burn.
Remember the age old saying you have heard since childhood “Pride goes before a fall.”
I believe in scripture it is “before destruction”
The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association is a fraternal organization with zero authority of any kind and your posted link goes to an OPINION piece.
You truly are a ridiculous fellow.
This my only post on this topic, so don’t bother flaming me. I will not even acknowledge it.
But I do need to ask one question.
Do you really think that all of the sheriff’s in a state with their combined knowledge and experience, have no idea what their legal standing is in their state?
For instance the state of GA has 159 counties (not my state).
MT has 56 counties.
In either case I suspect that either group of sheriffs could figure out their legal standing.
You should study the law of holes. Yours is getting pretty deep.
You have no idea about me loudmouth. People in bars get hurt real bad that way.
I know what the legal standing of sheriffs is in my state - the rest of your question makes about as much sense as plugging a hole in a row boat with an ice cube.
I could care less what sheriffs in other states think their legal standing is gomer.
But there should be.
interesting debate. I’ll try to sum it up in a few words a possible by using a quote from Murphy’s Law:
... A Smith & Wesson beats 4 Aces.
just my $0.02

Your statements have from the very first been along the lines of “no sheriff outranks a federal officer”
Not and exact quote, but it is an exact statement.
Anyway study the law of holes.
I wonder if you go fishing you swallow the bait.
Bye.
And he was only gonna post once.
What a liar.
“So he gave a typical psychopath (created by deluded western chivalry in a whorehouse of a nation) the satisfaction of manipulating him into killing himself. It was the ultimate reward for her. Way to go.”
I thought the same thing. I thought a call to the D.A. would have been better. But now I see that your statement would probably apply to the D.A. as well.
