Dallas Fire-Rescue initially responded to a dumpster fire at Frankford and North 40th Place. The man fired at the fire engine when they arrived. Firefighters sought cover, said Dallas Lt. Jose Garcia.Additionally, responding SWAT members had to clear the area of "suspect devices".
Dallas police were dispatched to the same location for a missing persons call.
Garcia said the officer did not hear the initial gunshots and were met with gunfire as they walked up to the location. They retreated and secured the perimeter. SWAT was called and the man surrendered.
So, actual serving Oathbreakers (you are breaking your oath if you support anyone who is engaging in insurgent activity against the US per Article III, Section iii of the document you swore an oath to uphold), do you think that anyone who is so anti-government will see you as anything other than a representative of the despised government?
When you claim to uphold the oath, think of what the Constitution ACTUALLY SAYS about rebellion and that refusing to enforce the laws made in accordance with Article VI of that document, whether you agree with them or not, really turn you into.
And it is anything but a patriot.

ReplyDeleteActually this practice seems to be happening more frequently. But it seems to be ok when its the federal government choosing to not enforce the laws, of if the laws aren't popular.
For example, we now have two states that have legalized marijuana, and there doesn't seem to be much concern,
"The Justice Department said it won't challenge state laws that legalize marijuana and will focus federal enforcement on serious trafficking cases and keeping the drug away from children."

And we also have many jurisdictions declaring themselves sanctuary cities and ordering their law enforcement to not detain illegal immigrants, and again, no objections from those who are supposed to be enforcing those laws.
"The Justice Department has asked a federal judge in Phoenix to stop Arizona’s law from going into effect this Thursday, arguing that the measure interferes with federal immigration policy. But critics, including California GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, are challenging the logic of Justice's move, arguing that if U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder really cared about enforcing federal immigration law, he should be targeting sanctuary cities instead of Arizona."

Yet, let one Sheriff, or even a state legislature decide to not enforce federal gun laws they deem oppressive, and then we start hearing the term oathbreakers bandied about. How exactly is it ok for one, and not the others who are practicing selective enforcement?
When bad laws like those concerning marijuana are overlooked by the authorities, that's a good thing. Eventually the laws will be changed to reflect the changing attitudes of the people.
DeleteOn the other hand, gun control laws save lives and should be enforced.
You see how simple that is?
Those in the position to prosecute have always had discretion and it is a judgment call. To expect universal similar prosecutions is unrealistic and naive of the way our system works. We will continue to read about similar crimes being prosecuted differently and punished differently depending on where the crime took place. It's simply not true that there have been no objections about immigration laws being not enforced equally. For years the feds have been prosecuting pot crimes even though a State has made pot legal for medical, or general use. Prosecuting some crimes more than others is a reflection of politics, public outcry, priorities, and available resources. .
