DETROIT - Nine alleged members of a Christian militia group that was girding for battle with the Antichrist were charged Monday with plotting to kill a police officer and slaughter scores more by bombing the funeral — all in hopes of touching off an uprising against the U.S. government.
Seven men and one woman believed to be part of the Michigan-based Hutaree were arrested over the weekend in raids in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, and another was still being sought...
If your article is the same article I read, I don't think they have the right idea at all. They wanted to make a fake 911 call to lure a policeman to his death or to attack the family of a policeman, then bomb the funeral so they could kill a lot more policemen.
I don't have a problem with shooting cops and here's why: In Nazi Germany, there was 3 tiers of cops; the Orpo (Ordnugspolezi), the Kripo (Kriminalpolezi) and the GeStaPo (Geheime Stadts Polezi). The Orpo were glorified meter maids, they enforced civic codes. The Kripo dealt with street crimes. The GeStaPo enforced political laws. The GeStaPo were clearly an evil orginization whose job it was to oppress the people. When Allied armies rolled into Nazi Germany, they left the Orpo and Krippo in place, and areested members of the GeStaPo. Unfurtunately in America, our law enforcement doesn't have these distinctions. City, County, State and Federal law enforcement all have their hands in enforcing political laws (oppressing the people), therefore, all of their hands are dirty. Policemen are where the rubber meets the road in politics. If these militia members did kill cops, they would be killing people who were, in part, guilty of crimes against the constitution of the United States.
As someone who swore an oath to protect the Constitution from all enemies, foriegn AND domestic, I don't see a problem with shooting cops.
