NC law enforcement officers receive Sovereign citizen profile training, Southern Poverty Law Center involved, White American sovereigns concerned with US Constitution

“American sovereign groups are commonly delineated along racial lines. White American sovereigns tend to be concerned with the U.S. Constitution and state constitutions, and their interpretations of those documents in a historical context.”…Police Magazine

“It wasn’t only acknowledged radicals reacting. In Wyoming, a state where guns are very much a part of life for many, lawmakers have sponsored a bill that would ensure that “any federal law which attempts to ban a semi-automatic firearm or to limit the size of a magazine of a firearm or other limitation on firearms in this state shall be unenforceable in Wyoming.” Of course, this kind of attempt to “nullify” federal laws dates back to the Civil War and is generally unconstitutional.”…Southern Poverty Law Center Hate Watch

“Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA – ordinary citizens don’t need guns, as their having guns doesn’t serve the State.”…Heinrich Himmler

We live in an Orwellian age of undue government control and “1984” like wordsmithing. That is why what is presented here concerns me.

Words and language do matter.

American sovereigns.

The definition depends on who you ask but what is clear is that a leftist agenda of gun control, weakening of the US Constitution and misportrayal of those who believe in the Constitution is growing.

It is happening in my home state of NC.

Winston Salem police recently allowed people stopped by traffic police to present an ID card issued by a local organization that works closely with Hispanic groups and apparently the Greensboro police were considering the same move.

Illegal aliens are being protected.

What about citizens who support the US Constitution?

From WECT January 3, 2013.

“Law enforcement to be certified in dealing with sovereign citizens by the end of 2013”

“Local law enforcement will be able to spot and handle a sovereign citizen by the end of 2013.

Authorities tell WECT.com that by the end of the year, every law enforcement officer in the state will receive certification for dealing with this group of people.

According to detectives, a sovereign citizen is person who believes they can choose which laws apply to them and which do not.

Deputies in Brunswick County recently had an incident with a woman they believe to have sovereign beliefs.

The 2013 certification has been mandated for all law enforcement by training and standards.

“I believe it’s because of the rise in violence that we’ve seen from sovereign citizens,” said Cpl. Ben Byrne who works with the Apex Police Department. “I believe it’s between 6 and 8 officers since 2002 killed in the line of duty by sovereign citizens.”

Authorities said it’s hard to tell how many sovereigns live locally.

Nationally, there are 100,000 “hardcore sovereigns” and 200,000 who are just starting their journey to following these beliefs.”

“RECOGNIZING SOVEREIGN CITIZENS #3821”

“Purpose:

To equip the law enforcement officer with the knowledge to recognize and identify sovereign citizens, and to better understand the subculture movement in order to enhance officer safety and conduct thorough investigations.

Course Goal:

Police work is an ever-evolving profession. As time progresses, new trends emerge which require police officers to be always alert and on the ready to change to meet these new threats. In North Carolina today, as well as the United States as a whole, the sovereign citizen movement and ideology is on the rise. With this new threat comes the need for professional law enforcement officers to be educated on the ideology, verbiage and monikers, tactics and criminality of this growing sub-culture. With proper training, officers can be equipped to deal safely with these individuals, and prepare thorough and successful prosecutions.”

“UNDERSTANDING THE THREAT #5230”

“Who Should Attend:

Law enforcement officers who come into contact with members of the public who may belong to a sovereign group. Each officer will receive a copy of the DVD, Understanding the Threat, about Officers Brandon Paudert and Bill Evans, who were killed by a father and son, who were sovereign citizens.

Course Goal:

To help the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) save officers’ lives through training and education.”

Why is the Southern Poverty Law Center involved in this training?

From the Southern Poverty Law Center blog.

“It wasn’t only acknowledged radicals reacting. In Wyoming, a state where guns are very much a part of life for many, lawmakers have sponsored a bill that would ensure that “any federal law which attempts to ban a semi-automatic firearm or to limit the size of a magazine of a firearm or other limitation on firearms  in this state shall be unenforceable in Wyoming.” Of course, this kind of attempt to “nullify” federal laws dates back to the Civil War and is generally unconstitutional.”

This is what concerns me. Tagging people who believe in the US Constitution as cop killers.
