Hilarious how they throw the bootlickers under the bus to protect the POS sheriff.
The GOP’s new SS, Gestapo.
The people probably should have stood up and not let them pass with her without some sort of identification.
In Idaho? The crowd probably kicked her as the goons dragged her by.
Its fine everybody, the sherriff is going to do an investigation of himself and get back to us. Nothing to see here. You can go about your business, citizens.
And of course if the local government doesn’t investigate we can trust there will be federal oversight. - lol
Here’s the video. The one police guy nopes out almost immediately.
I would have been absolutely throwing as many punches as I could. They need to try that shit with someone like me.
unless I missed it, why exactly did the sheriff have private security hired for a town hall?
In case someone said anything against the Israeli genocide or hurt a republicans feelings.
The entire local GOP party pointed fingers at every other person involved when asked why and who hired them. Literally each member had a different answer, some saying the chair hired them, some saying the sheriff, some saying they had no idea. The Sheriff claimed he didnt hire them, but was specifically directing them to haul away the protestors.
They are charging them because it looks like no one “officially” hired them, and since no one will own them being the defacto security, they effectively assaulted and kidnapped these protestors.
Basically, these goons are getting tossed under the bus to protect the local GOP officials who wanted goons, but off the books goons.
Way to get rolled, dummies.
I hope they all cut a deal with the prosecutor and snitch on who hired them.
It should also be noted that Coeur d’Alene - a town of only 50,000 people - is known primarily for being the Neo-Nazi capital of the PNW. They’re also host to quite a few other Christian nationalist groups, to the point that the local GOP is basically beholden to said groups.
Nobody should be surprised when it’s revealed in court that these brown shirts have ties to white supremacy.
Sheriff Dumbfuck: I didn’t hire them but I did order them to do crimes
“These leopards would never eat my face! They wanted us here!”
Because the RNC begged for protection for their minion from the peasants.
Also why hasn’t Sheriff Bob been charged?
In crimes where local law authorities are violating the law, the Feds often step in to exert their authority, so I’m sure AG Bondi will…oh never mind.
