What, exactly, isn't going to happen on their watch?
That's a very good question.
Is an "Oath Keeper" officer going to draw down on another officer who is abusing a citizen?
I would hope they would do the right thing and make a full report to IA and get the abuser suspended or even fired.
In a martial law situation, I believe that they should draw down on those who would willingly violate citizens constitutional rights.
The physical attacks on people who were just protecting themselves in Katrina was unacceptable, and if just one or more of those guys had stood up and said... "
Hey guys, this won't stand, let these people keep their arms and stay in their homes." maybe we would have had a different outcome.
Didn't you see the video of the old lady tackled by the linebacker sized cops? Was that necessary? Hell no! And this type of behavior is what has spurred on the Oath Keepers into action.
All too often, we complain about police or other law enforcement personnel who don't know the law, and have a disdain for the Constitution. What better way to rectify that, than to start an organization where those who have taken the oath to protect and defend the Constitution can reaffirm their oath and have a support group of people around them to make it more official. It is hard to stand against evil all alone. It is much easier to stand shoulder to shoulder with your fellow Oath Keepers.
When people like some here in these forums scoff at or deride people like those who choose to be Oath Keepers, they only show how petty and intolerant they are.
