So, now in California, it's the law.  Us against them. Many define this as anarchy.

It's pathetic that the law says that you don't have to help those that are honor bound to help you.

The only thing left is to permit open violence on LEO's.  this is liberal government setting every one against everyone else.  Shameful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Newsom has no scruples.  He behaves like a mindless populist doing only things that contribute to mob rule.

From the story:

The Sacramento Bee reported that the old law, the California Posse Comitatus Act of 1872, was common in the country’s early days, but Sen. Bob Hertzberg, a Los Angeles Democrat who sponsored the bill, called the old law a “vestige of a bygone era." The law was employed to help catch runaway slaves, the report said.

 

somebody explain to me how that 1872 law was employed to return runaway slaves when the Civil War ended in 1865

He's a California Senator, ergo he is full of ****.

This is supposed to be our government, and our shared observance of the law.  If we need help, we call the LEO. If he needs help, he calls those he serves.  It's a shared duty but the LEO does it full time. 

We citizen's should help when help is needed.  In an emergency there may  not be time for a debate of the rationale for aiding a peace officer, it may be a life and death matter with minutes determining the outcome.  I believe we should aid under any circumstances and talk about it afterwards.

Too many believe that they should just sit there and watch someone else fight their war for their freedom, or fight their war against criminals.  Get off your dead ass and help.  If we aren't in this together this nation is doomed.
