Talk:Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association
[edit] Ties to Oath Keepers?
Is this group a subset of the Oath Keepers or is it just connected via Mack? If the former, we should probably just incorporate it into a larger article on Oath Keepers. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 07:30, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- The website doesnt mention it so... No. --il'Dictator Mikal 07:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- The video on the home page mentions it. From what Mack says, it sounds like he might just be pallin' around with Oath Keepers rather than officially affiliated, though. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 07:48, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Sovereign citizens?
"The organization draws much of its philosophy from the similar sovereign citizens movement." Don't they have more in common with the militia movement? The point is not elaborated anyway - it's not clear what aspects of their philosophy they draw from the SCs. Fascination with common law? --ZooGuard (talk) 19:51, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- There's a good deal of overlapping wingnuttery, but I would say they fall into the militia movement, esp. w/ the connection w/ Oath Keepers. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 19:55, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Ferguson vigilantism
According to the New York Times, groups of Oath Keeper have organized into vigilante militias to "protect private businesses." Daily Kos also had something to say about it. Noisemobile (talk) 18:58, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
