"We Must Stand With Local Law Enforcement"

Law Enforcement-Attacks on Officers

In the wake of the cowardly shootings of law enforcement officers by thugs across the nation, the riots in Ferguson and Baltimore, the execution of a Sheriff’s Deputy in Texas and other attacks, it is clear that movements like ”Black Lives Matter” and the New Black Panther party have motivated these attacks with their hate speech towards all Law Enforcement officers. As a concerned Pro Gun Concealed Carry supporter here in Walton County, I am calling on all others of like persuasion, in this county, to raise your situational awareness as to what is going on around you. I call on all of you to support our local Law Enforcement and ‘have their backs’ if you will. We need to stand together with Local Law Enforcement against any criminal element that may try to bring harm to them or us. They have a tough job and we as citizens need to fully support them any way we can. I am not LE, but I will not tolerate disrespect or intentional bodily harm perpetrated upon these officers because of the hate speech from some Domestic Terrorist Group. If I see such being perpetrated on one of our officers, I will Intervene. We will NOT Tolerate that here in Walton County, Ga. in any form whatsoever. I understand that most of these attacks have been done in the large cities but if we as Concealed Carry supporters and practitioners observe any ”officer in distress” here in our county, I am asking that we step in and render whatever aid we can. We MUST stand against any criminal element and make sure they know not to bring that Hate filled Racial BS to Walton County, Ga.
