U.S. Sheriffs Rise Up Against Federal Government: Sheriff Threatens Feds With SWAT Team ~ Grass Roots Take Charge!

As more people became dissatisfied with federal government controls and land grabs, it was inevitable that local law enforcement would eventually see the bigger picture.

At the northern California fairgrounds of Yreka last month, seven California sheriffs and another from Oregon gathered with a large group of citizens to say that they are finally going to do something about it.

Couple this with state run militias and things are looking up.

you're kidding right? I mean the whole Boss Hog thing was pretty realistic in my experience

Cripes next thing yanno Obama will confiscate the Genr'l Lee

The county sheriff has more power than you imagine. They answer to nobody but the people. Not the mayor, the gov, or the FED.

Since the FED has armed them with military grade arsenal, you better hope they stand with the people if TSHTF.

If they refuse to take our guns, deputize and arm those willing to make a stand (which is in their power), the people have a good chance of getting our country and Constitution back.

Hopefully it won't come to that and people will wake up and do it on their own (non violently) before it's needed, but the noose tightens with every passing day. It surprises me that most people are idiots and have let it get this far.....
