Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

December 12, 2011

Last June, a farmer named Rodney Brossart from Lakota, North Dakota got into a dispute with the local sheriff over a half-dozen stray cattle. Brossart was arrested, and the following day three of his sons allegedly confronted deputies with rifles. This led the Sheriff to escalate the confrontation to a full-spectrum military response ? including the local SWAT team and a Predator B drone supplied by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency.

?As the unmanned aircraft circled 2 miles overhead the next morning, sophisticated sensors under the nose helped pinpoint the three suspects and showed they were unarmed,? reported the Los Angeles Times. ?Police rushed in and made the first known arrests of U.S. citizens with help from a Predator, the spy drone that has helped revolutionize modern warfare.?

Brossart had been identified as a supposed terrorism risk by the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center, a self-appointed watchdog group that works with federal agencies to indoctrinate local law enforcement.

The Predator Drones used to carry out CIA assassinations in Pakistan, Yemen, and elsewhere are deployed over American skies ? and they have harmless citizens regarded as ?domestic extremists? in the crosshairs.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
