Due to Mass Shootings, Democrats in Congress Propose to Disarm the Majority of Sheriff's Deputies Throughout the Nation
You heard it right folks, due to mass shootings Senator Feinstein and other Democrats in the Senate are proposing new gun regulations that would disarm the majority of sheriffs deputies throughout the United States.
You might be thinking "they're crazy" or "that's crazy" or "this blogger is crazy" but I speak the truth.
There are the regular sheriffs deputies you may be familiar with, but there are others called the "Posse Comitatus" or as the old western movies put it "the sheriff's posse". Some might think those are the guys who ride horses in 4th of July parades but the sheriff's posse according to Common Law is defined as the power and force of the county, and constitutes all males ages 15 and up of the county. The sheriff has the common law power to call up all qualifying males to perform his duties. The Arkansas Supreme Court stated the following regarding this principle:
“The
posse comitatus has an ancient history...Its origins are believed to
lie in the pre-conquest English statute of "hue and cry," a method then recognized for issuing and enforcing process to bring one committing a crime before the courts”
(Williams
vs State of Arkansas 1973)
Further
they stated:
“From
this practice, the right of the sheriff to call up the local male
population to arrest criminals or prevent riots evolved, and became
known as the posse comitatus, which in effect was a civil army to be
used by the sheriff for these purposes, among others.” (Williams
vs State of Arkansas 1973)
And
finally they stated:
“Refusal
to render the aid sought by the sheriff was an offense punishable by
fine and imprisonment.” (Williams vs State of Arkansas 1973)
