    The people probably should have stood up and not let them pass with her without some sort of identification.

    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

      I would have been absolutely throwing as many punches as I could. They need to try that shit with someone like me.

      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.

        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.

      Because the RNC begged for protection for their minion from the peasants.

        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.
