re: Police Admit Armored Vehicles Are for Fighting “Constitutionalists” With Guns

Perhaps he was trying inartfully to refer to more radical groups like Sovereign Citizens?

I've youtubed a sovereign citizen arguing with a judge and trying to take over a courtroom with his arguments.

The jist that I got from the sovereign citizen was that he, as a sovereign man declared that the law does not apply to him anymore.

Wouldn't that mean that the law doesn't protect him anymore, too?

You can't have it both ways, right?

Example.

Sov citizen: a man punched me in the nose. I want to file a report.

Cop: Cool, what's your name?


Sov citizen:I dont have to tell you Nuthin. My name's chad, No more no less.

Cop: Are you one of those quirky sovereign citizens?

Sov citizen. Yup.


Cop: Caint help ya man


-----is this about right?



Also, I see polarization within the ranks of sovereign cits. But what is talks opinion,? Lib or conservative or delusional?

I have one cop friend and he fits that description, but he also agrees the police are a huge problem

I know this is only one cop's statements but anytime someone talks about those "crazy tea partiers" or "crazy libertarians" or someone else who supports freedom I ask this:

When has any one of these individuals ever done anything radical and killed a bunch of people? All mass shootings I can think of have been perpetrated by democrats.

It's like friggin Minority Report - if you have the capability to commit a crime with these tools, we'll take them from you so you won't even though we have no idea what your intent is.

I think several of the sovereign citizens wackos have shot at and killed cops.

Give me more than "I think" if you actually have a source. I don't mind being proven wrong.

For all you ".50 cals are unnecessary" folk, what would you do if you were an LEO that got called to a gas station for a man that refused to leave, and when you get there you see that he has a .50 cal rifle under a trenchcoat?

That exact scenario happened to my father many years ago during his days as an LEO. I would rather the police have the same fire power, or even more, to fight what they will face.

I don't know about you bunch of idiots, but I ain't going into a fight with nothing when the other guy has brass knucks and a buck knife.

I want to see the MF'er and his trenchcoat if he can hide say, a Barrett M82 under it.

He'd have to be the height of Shaquille O'Neal to hide it.

I'll say it again. The main threat in this area is terrorism. Just look at what percentage of import / export comes through S.La, Southeast Texas. The refineries up and down the river. All could be targets.

I don't pretend to know counter terrorism Intel but I've been to training on some of this equipment received on homeland security grants and they sell the threat pretty well. The one reoccurring theme is there isn't a federal quick response force to meet these threats when they occur so they need locals to be able to step in.

One example of this is JTF7. All parishes along the river are part of a task force and each equipped with identical Safe Boats. Deputies trained through Coast Guard with the intent that in case of an emergency you don't have 6 coast guard guys running one boat ( a full crew) and instead can put one on each boat with a crew of equally trained deputies and now you have 7 boats on the water.

Not once in all training I've attended has the word "constitutionalist", "right wing" , "tea party" or any similar been mentioned.

If, and that's a big IF, all the hype of locals enforcing federal confiscation of guns ever comes to reality here, you'll see LEOs jump ship and join ranks with with other defenders in mass numbers.

Really?



Do you think there are somehow degrees of dead and if he can kill you .50 caliber dead, and you only kill him .308 dead he's somehow won?

This is the part where I keep typing out something and then deleting it because saying what I'm thinking right here would be really bad.

It's not a dick measuring contest. Law enforcement in this country has ZERO legitimate reasons for an APC mounted .50 cal. And I'm not sure they should have APC's either for that matter.

Let me put it this way... A little old lady that lives next door to your .50 cal toting daddy could blow him away tomorrow morning over coffee if it ever came to that. If you think weaponry and armor is the way to go in enforcing your will on the public you're begging for that public to realize you're the problem and deal with you accordingly. And if you don't grasp that lesson really soon, there's going to be consequences for cops who aren't ignorant tools and should have quit before it went that far. As for the one's like that idiot in the video, people often get what they deserve so maybe he's got a point in being so terrified of the law abiding.
