Who law enforcement sees as the real threats

This was an eyebrow raiser, but in the current political climate, not terribly surprising. Insulting, maybe.

The kKK remained the same, ironically. You'd think with all the hoopla over the removal of the confederate battle flag from history would have gotten those folks in a tizzy...

    One has to wonder...if this is the growing fear in America, what kinds of laws will be dreamt up to deal with (dare I say it!) these radical citizens? And even more to the point, what will be the definition of this kind of radical? (Ya gotta watch out for those free thinkers!)

      No brainer. It's called the Patriot Act. It's part of the Cycle of Repression. One size one sentence fits all all final solution gainst the entire population. the one that says it's ok to apprehend someone on 'suspicion of'' with none of the bothersome Bill of Rights or Civil Rights to get in the way.

      But to be honest. While we veterans were laying on the line for years or decades the f'n citizens voted the one sentence Constitution in to replace what we thought we were fighting for.

      Seig Me No heils comrade Jackboot Janet II Neapolitano. I serve the Constitution not the Party. And I'm not a soveriegn citizen I'm just a plain ordinary every day veteran who took my oath and remembered it - which is something JBII, Hillary and all the left wing smiley faced fascists can say.

      As of now I see no front runners and possibly two or three non-RINOs which means zero possibility that I will vote for any of the final four Comrades. I will instead vote for self respect.

    Not surprising at all, if the main concern is for the political ruling class. The biggest threat to be considered, in that case, is that that would affect government, not citizens. Citizens, who are not complacent, become an automatic threat. Citizens don't have to be wielding guns and explosives to be considered non-complacent. They just need to voice an opposing opinion and/or demonstrate peacefully...as most sovereign citizens do.

        Doing fine thus far ~ daughter gone to USAF and an empty nest. W and I are finding things to do and we are staying busy. As usual, we continue to research (digging deep) into things or subjects that we were sort of taught or not taught at all in high school and college. You'd be amazed as to what truth is out there that the controlled publishing companies don't want you to know.

        I thought of posting some findings here, but decided against it: religious in nature, but impacts every living person on the planet nonetheless.

        I have learned that seeking the truth in things will sometimes lead to sleepless nights and worrisome minds.

        I did however compete in a sprint triathlon ~ first one in 7 years and finished just above the middle of the 100+ racers. If you work out and don't race every so often, what's the point of working out? =)

        Thanks for asking. I hope all is well with you and the clan. I'll be eudamonia will assist in getting you out of the People's Democratic Republic of East Connecticut. :)

    Let's see the poll was taken by a fedgov rep who made it clear that if he didn't get the answer he wanted there would be no free toys next Christmas (and there would be a crackdown on forfeiture seizures, too.)
    Tanks, fedgov.

    I've only met a few "sovereign citizens", but if bad cops fear them that much, they sound like our friends. I wonder how many have read AS?

    On the other hand, I don't think we'd want the BLM people in any Gulch. They're probably all moochers.

    Remember, this was questioning who the police saw as a threat to law enforcement. At the time the poll was taken, sovereign citizens had just recently killed police, and frequently state the enforcers of the wishes of an illegal government are their enemy, so it's understandable how this was going to turn out.

    I would imagine the results would be dramatically different today, after the "Black Lives Matter" crowd blatantly targeting police, calling for widespread assassination. I don't remember a march of sovereign citizens chanting "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon."

    "...all so-called citizenship rights accorded today are fake."

    Um...ok... 8^o

    Does anybody think going Galt could be seen as some sort of threat? Is anything other than total, blind obedience now considered a threat? This is very interesting...

    I have to be considered dangerous also I guess. I dont accept the moral precepts of the current liberal USA government. I obey ONLY because I have to and would bear the brunt of the police state juggernaut if I didnt. I think we are ALL sovereign citizens in that we each do what we ourselves believe in. I would be considered I guess a person of unpredictable behavior if judged by the current government, although by a more rational system I would be considered quite predictable.

    I suspect the real threat to them personally maybe these people but i do not think they are a threat to the population, i.e. you and I realistically. They are revolting against the authorities and I guess that ia what we are seeing currently with police officers being gunned down which is tragic.

      99% of police officers like 99% of the public are no danger to me and many of them are fellow veterans. the 1% of the population and the 1% of law enforcement that are a danger remind me of Mark Twain's comment. America's only true homegrown criminal class is the Congress.

      What I truly can't figure out is the 99% are voting the 1% into office time and time again.

    The premise that stopping conspiracy to commit murder depends on politics is wrong. Regardless of the political climate and things like the KKK and the confderate battle flag, stopping conspiracy to commit murder involves catching people doing it, not working which groups are more likely to do it this year.

      I feel as though those who do it know it's wrong. It just comes down to controlling the flock. "Better watch what you say", etc. It's too bad, really, that our nation has dropped to this...thought police crap...

      In two different instances in my life in just the last couple weeks I've seen the media really twist people's words and label (dare I say "libel") people in the news coverage.
