I-Team: Police faced possible 'bloodbath' at Bundy protest
8NewsNow ^ | 04-30-2014 | George Knapp

Posted on 05/02/2014 8:19:32 AM PDT by PaulCruz2016

Metro officers deal with large crowds all the time, but nothing like this. The crowd included former military men and ex-cops, people with various motives, their fingers poised just above the triggers of powerful weapons. With so much firepower in so many hands, a small incident could have set off a bloodbath and left nearly two dozen officers dead.

Assist. Sheriff Joe Lombardo:"We were outgunned, outmanned and there would not have been a good result from it."

I-Team reporter George Knapp: "A lot of scenarios could have played out that would have left a lot of dead officers."

Assist. Sheriff Joe Lombardo: "If you just have a backfire, somebody pops a firecracker, then it's over. We're done. We are going to lose that battle that day."

To: PaulCruz2016; All
it put the fear of G*D..
in those BfLM JBTs; next time, they won't be so easily dissuaded.
They'll ("Rustler" Reid/BfLM JBTs) shall be better staffed/equipped.
"Rustler" Reid is p¡$$ed; b/c his deals have been exposed and
therefore, he/BfLM can't have their Chinese bribes forwarded.

I wonder if they were thinking that broadly.

If this battle had occurred, it would have been the start of a much larger and more widespread war for independence from the fedgov.

BLM translation: we thought we could just intimidate the serfs with the incredible awsomness of our badges. Next time we will bring more jackboots and the library of congress swat team.

If they do that, they’re tipping their hand.

They still have this veneer of legitimate authority,
but if they tip their hand, they admit that their only
legitimacy comes from their ability to use superior force
on the citizenry.

Seems 2A works well in bringing out of control government employees back into line.

Interesting, the I team reporter considered only dead cops as "losses", the free men present were valueless.

>>”They had no respect for authority. Everything that you can think of to call a human being, animals, everything,” Jenkins said.

One person in the crowd even asked Jenkins if he was ready to die.<<

After watching the BLM operators herd pregnant cattle with helicopters in the 90 degree heat, with no thoughts about their health or the newborn calves, I would have been ready to shoot the bastards myself,

have we reached the point where the first job of the BLM/government will be to shoot the news crew?

“When the Bureau of Land Management mobilized to go after Bundy’s cattle two years ago, they did so under an administrative order. This time, it was considered a criminal matter, and the I-Team has learned that order went all the way to the White House for approval.”

Crap-weasel owebama ordered the land grab.

Mr. PolicePerson does not know the Rule of Holes. So, when a hole, he keeps on digging.

His real fear should be what will happen when he follows the White House originated orders and 4th Generation warfare breaks out.

Another lil gem for Mr. PolicePerson:
“Never miss a chance to shut up”.

I recommend beginning to think of those vehicles as resources for our side.

EXACTLY! The people that would man those vehicles to impose government tyranny don't live behind barbwire and machine guns. They live in our communities. The go out and pick up their papers in their robes. They shop where we shop. They drop their kids off at the same schools we do. They'd best remember that before they make things go sideways. Patriots should remember it after things go sideways.

That’s how we need to begin to think.

It’s important to spread ideas such as yours, especially on FR where hand wringing over these vehicles is far too common.

The comments lead me to believe that there will be no peaceful restoration of liberty in this country.

Back in 1970, there were lots of warnings about the Feds wanting a Federal Police Force. It appears it has happened without the public finding out about it.

"Metro officers deal with large crowds all the time, but nothing like this. The crowd included former military men and ex-cops

There are a lot of articles that get posted detailing screw ups by cops, and a common theme of some posters is that soon, the JBT types, holster sniffers, cops and ex-cops will show up to defend the cops. I wonder if the cop haters at FreeRepublic will bother to read the above quote and try to comprehend it.

“An armed society is a polite society.”

Nice catch phrase. Too bad that it's never been true.

They are 'armed' in the Middle East, in the Central African Republic, and they rape and kill very unpolitely.

Back in the 'old west' of the United States, they were armed, and they weren't polite either.

However, an armed society can make for a more polite government. The Bundy Ranch incident is a case in point.

typical lazy cop attitude. Flash badge so the serf will roll over and play dead. They are the jerks who arrest and “let judge sort them out”.

Their line is HIM vs citizens. All citizens are the enemy to him.

He should resign immediately.

0 told us he was going to create one. As someone else said, we need to remember that the JBTs live among us. They do not live in gated compounds. We know them. Take note.
