Not Breaking – Jeff Christopher is nuts.
The office of sheriff was created to address worries exactly like the rampant militarization of police forces in America, claim two sheriffs who have challenged elected officials in their states over what they believe are unconstitutional abuses of power.
“Right now the threat to individual Americans from al-Qaida and other groups is nowhere near the threat we face from officials in our own country who are working at taking away our liberties,” Delaware Sheriff Jeff Christopher told WND.Christopher has firsthand knowledge of the desire of government officials to usurp authority over local law-enforcement agencies.

Further on in the article, the menace of SWAT teams is mentioned. Since Christopher was the one who wanted to turn the Sheriff’s office into a SWAT team, I’m not sure what his point is. (We need a menacing, undisciplined rogue police force, otherwise we’ll have a menacing undisciplined rogue police force.)
All I can say is if the residents of SC fall for this garbage, they’ll get what they deserve.
