Crooks and Liars<\/a> are jumping up and down with joy and Hot Air<\/a> is building bunkers over a new report from some group of pointy-headed profs at the University of Maryland which claims that their poll of law enforcement officers indicates that “sovereign citizens” are those LEOs’ main focus for fighting terror in this country.<\/p>\n

Everyone is comparing this to the Homeland Security Department’s 2009 report that warned the law enforcement community about war-addled veterans and right wing loons. That report might have a little to do with this one – but this one is nothing more than a poll of law enforcement officers’ opinions – it’s not<\/strong> calling sovereign the greatest threat to our national security. <\/p>\n

Crooks & Liars in their unbridled joy, fails to mention that jihadists come in at #2. Of course, I’m thinking that the cops probably have reason to worry about sovereign citizens what with all of the anti-cop chatter around the internet and the Open Carry folks flaunting their hardware in public. But the police don’t help themselves much when they buy armored vehicles for their quiet little one-horse towns.<\/p>\n

But right wing nuts are generally better behaved than some of the other choices – the Bundy Ranch are a good example. They were a little on the crank side of things, but no one got hurt. Just like the right wingers flocking to the Mexico border these days. They’re more law abiding than those criminals flocking across the border. And less of a security threat.<\/p>\n

But here’s the report of the poll (in .pdf) that the study group START_UnderstandingLawEnforcementIntelligenceProcesses_July2014<\/a> wrote while they were cloistered in their little world at the University of Maryland. Just keep in mind, that it doesn’t proclaim sovereign citizens a threat, it says that’s the opinion of some LEOs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
