This crap only seems to happen when Democrats are in office.

The Montana Freemen were the biggest jokes. I remember they were passing bad checks to buy guns.

Then there's the Sovereign Citizen idiots with divers licenses and vehicle registrations issued by the "Kingdom of Heaven".

by the extraordinary patience and restraint the FBI has shown these law breaking armed adult criminals. Almost any other ethnicity or religious group of 4 armed people would never have been allowed this much leeway to so brazenly challenge law enforcement. I think it sends a terrible message about the unequal treatment of law enforcement in this country, just from a different perspective. And I don't think its something that happens in a vacuum without consequences, because it plays into the hands of those who preach we have a two tier justice system. And it feeds into a pessimistic view of law enforcement from those communities including myself, that the use of deadly force for people of color is significantly higher, but the ability to get justice for unjustified killings in those same communities is greatly diminished. And if your an American who cares about the rule of law, I don't care what color you are, this should be deeply troubling to you. Because in the future, one day, you or your children may find themselves in the minority, with the value of their lives diminished in the eyes of the American system of justice.
