East Coast Attempts to Strip County Sheriffs Authority!

[2ndAmendmentdefender]

The socialists in their power grab are attempting to strip Delaware State County Sheriffs of their arrest powers.

Sheriff Jeff Christopher thought he was voted by the people to represent them as the highest-ranking law officer in the county.

The Sheriff is in a legal battle for the future of American law enforcement, This is part of a nationwide effort to abolish the sheriff’s office altogether.

The Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, son of Vice President Joe Biden is spearheading the effort to strip the Sheriffs of their power.

This is a blatant and heinous attempt to unsurp power from the people.

The office of sheriff has a long history. It's history is over a thousand years old and began in England.

The sheriff is the only elected law enforcement official in America.

He is the first and last line of defense for his county's citizens.

He is the people's protector.

The Sheriff is the guardian of liberty and the protector of rights. He is the keeper of the peace.

He is the upholder of the Constitution and the first line of defense against tyranny.

In light of numerous Sheriffs across the Nation standing up for the US Constituton, it is no coincidence that the son of VP Biden is attempting to corrupt the 2nd Amendment by stripping the County Sheriffs of their authority!

This makes no sense. Are the state police in charge or what? How can they just bully him around? This is not a good precedent.

I have read a few articles on this issue and the liberals think that the people can be better served on the federal level ie.. Home Land Security.

We know that is BS, this is about the authority the county Sheriff holds, that of the highest ranking LEO in the county.

This statement hits it right on the head, especially with Sherriffs and other law officials stepping up across the US and stating they wont inforce a AWB or any other infringement on the 2A.
I guess it is true about the old saying "the apple doesnt fall far fom the tree", especially when it comes to Bidens boy. Although both are a few shy of a full bushel.

Sheriffs Bushwhacked | American Free Press

I think that is an old article. Found the same one showing it was back in April of last year. Any updates as to if they got their powers back or where this went?

A little too much hysteria. Please count to 10.

The Attorney General has no power to strip away anything. All he can do is issue an opinion everyone else will ignore.

But it is indicative of the Biden family's respect for the Constitution they purport to uphold.

Kind of like Mario-Andrew Cuomo.

Time to get rid of these 'noble' families, send them back whence they came...

"Back?" It appears that in Delaware, the Sheriffs never had LE powers. That changes the story a fair bit. If there's any type of power grab going on, it the Sheriff that's trying to do it.

Looking up the issue further, it appears that there are only 6 or 7 Sheriffs in the entire county of 200k people. These guys just want to start arresting people.

Why does it seem like so many people are eager to simply believe something they're told, rather that looking it up for themselves?

Disagree:

This time it is Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, son of Vice President Joe Biden, sending out mandates to commissioners informing them that their sheriffs no longer have arrest powers.

You can't remove arrest powers if you have never had them in the first place.

That said each state has different laws regarding the duties of the Sheriff.

A sheriff is a county official and is mainly is the top LEO of a county. In some states the sheriff was also commander of the militia in that county.

Gee Wizz Beave.... if they would stop coming after our rights constantly maybe we could calm the f down a bit.

You think?!

It's not just the disarming of America but a take over of America.
IF you can't see what's happening you'd better have your eyes checked or at least removed from your posterior.

 

[cbhausen]

If SHTF it won't matter... Remember that scene in Deliverance where Burt Reynolds says "Law?! What law?! I don't see any law around here!"

Not endorsing anarchy. Everyone needs to calm down here. We will not be disarmed.

I agree 100%, disarming Americans is just one step in the process of the socialists taking over America.

Obama and his progressives are waging a war against the principles of individual freedom as enumerated in our Constitution.

They seek to replace it with the tenets of socialism which favors rights of the collective over those of the individual.

Socialism is interwoven with totalitarianism and the superiority of the state collective vs that of the individual .

It will eventually legislate for every one where they are to work, what they are to work at, where they may go and what they may say.

Socialism is an attack on the right to breathe freely.

Socialism cannot be established without a central/federal political police (Homeland Security-TSA).

I wonder what would happen if this was tried on Arpaio?

That's what the article states, I do admit. The problem, is that it is an outright false claim. Sheriffs in Delaware's 3 counties DON'T have powers of arrest. I have no idea how long this has been the case, but it appears to be a very long time.

Here's an article that explains this specific situation much better.

Sussex County, Delaware - Sheriff's Department

There is some confusion... I looked at the brief filed by the sheriff and it seems that at one time the sheriffs of Delaware had police powers.

But the police powers were not removed under this particular sheriff's watch.

The state is claiming that arrest powers of the sheriff has been absent for decades!

That said I still contend that the undermining of a Sheriffs power, even if it happened decades ago, is not a good thing for freedom. But from the east coast we can expect no less!

I read Huffington post with a grain of salt, using it to get a grasp for the liberal viewpoint.
