Arizona Sheriff Establishes Constitutional Sanctuaries
July 25, 2022 | Arizona
In an era in which the federal government has identified conservatives as would-be domestic terrorists, many Americans are looking for sanctuaries where their constitutional rights will not be infringed.
Pinal County, Arizona, where Sheriff Mark Lamb has formed a civilian posse to act as a bulwark against tyrannical government encroachments, may be one such place.
In an interview recently, the sheriff said that his goal is to educate residents to be active in their communities “so the government will have a harder time overstepping their bounds.”
When Lamb established the civilian posse in July 2020, the idea was to educate concerned residents about law enforcement and to let them assist deputies during the 2020 riots.
“It’s just an opportunity to get them [residents] to more education,” Lamb said at the time. “They can hopefully squelch some of the frustration that they’re feeling right now in these uncertain times and at the same time get some training.”
Daniel Horowitz had the sheriff on his Conservative Review podcast Friday to discuss how sheriffs’ posses can be a firewall against government tyranny.
During the interview, Horowitz asked Lamb if he was concerned that many police officers seem to be moving away from doing “what is just and right” toward “following orders no matter what.”
The sheriff said that he “shares that concern” and noted that he has even made videos that explain to officers that they shouldn’t be “afraid to say no.”… (Excerpt from The Virginia Star)
