The Constitutional Posse

With many law enforcement agencies experiencing proposed budget cuts, the time has come for the County Board of Supervisors to instruct their County Sheriffs to deputize men and women to volunteer their services to assist him in defending the lives, liberty and property of the whole of the people in his county.

Those people who are chosen should be properly vetted and trained by the Sheriff. They should be ready at a moment's notice to be called into service by their Sheriff.

  • This would return the rightful power to the people as it should be.

  • Oh there's a conspiracy and it working against America. We must stop it.

  • The County Posse would be a 21st Century version of the militia.

    • The county Posse is different from the militia. The duly elected sheriff, the only constitutional law enforcement, is allowed to deputize anyone to help enforce the laws as needed. This is the way it was originally intended to have laws enforced. The founding fathers never intended to have towns or cities o have corporate security teams bought and paid for by the government to do that governments bidding. People were supposed to be responsible for themselves for the most part. It was never intended to have such a massive array of laws in place to make a permanent sheriff's department with a mu;multitude of deputies to be on the constant patrol.  Just look up when the first police department was started in the u.S.

       In 1838, the city of Boston established the first American police force, followed by New York City in 1845, Albany, NY and Chicago in 1851, New Orleans and Cincinnati in 1853, Philadelphia in 1855, and Newark, NJ and Baltimore in 1857 (Harring 1983, Lundman 1980; Lynch 1984). By the 1880s all major U.S. cities had municipal police forces in place.

       they were publicly supported and bureaucratic in form; 

       they were publicly supported and bureaucratic in form; this last statement proves my point. Police unlike the county sheriff were not answerable to the people only to the government.

      • It might good to deputize all sheriffs and those who are in support of them. 

      • I'll talk to my local sheriff to see where he stands on supporting the constitution and the people rather than the bureaucracy.  

  • Good idea!
