Two Georgia cops stopped a 30-year-old white male for a traffic offense last week. According to a police press release,
“Immediately, the driver exhibited aggression towards the officers and began making statements consistent with “sovereign citizen” type beliefs. Rather than comply with deputies, the driver reached for a gun. Fearing their safety and the safety of the public, deputies were forced to make entry into the vehicle by breaking the driver side window and then physically remove the driver from the vehicle. As the driver was being removed from the vehicle, he attempted to reach for another gun, this one located in a holster at the small of his back. Deputies were able to get the suspect under control and disarm him. One deputy was slightly injured by broken glass, but due to the quick action of the two seasoned officers, no serious injuries occurred.”
So-called “sovereign citizens” are potentially very dangerous people. They believe laws don’t apply to them. They’ve been known to kill police. This guy had loaded guns in his possession, and went for them. So why didn’t the cops shoot him? (Click here for story.)
Meanwhile, in Harlem, cops arrested a well-dressed black female driving a BMW on a bogus marijuana charge and locked her in a pyschiatric ward for over a week because they didn’t believe her story that she’s a Citibank banker. (Click here for story.)
