To the Editor:

Some political figures and social bottom feeders should consider the threat of social censure for their actions by the people who voted them into office or allowed them to manipulate federal and state agency interaction and environmental collaboration. More often than not, rumors from the biased media and others striving for political or financial advancement are started by people who have no chance of competing with those targeted on level playing fields. Normal people don’t attempt to destroy other people’s lives. Those that do should be shunned by society, not elected to public office or placed in critical public safety positions where their actions violate Oregon statutes — a process labeled as “Electile Dysfunction.” Verbally orchestrated attacks on a popular and duly-elected constitutional sheriff can be tracked through federal, state, county and one city government as well as city/state law enforcement, the constitutionally ignorant or apathetic and those feeding off our failing economy or reaching for social notoriety. A local brainwashed county court-inspired crowd of alarmists were led to use biased media reporting on a neighboring refuge occupation and baseless court resolution as an open door for the attack on a law enforcement officer that the majority of Grant County residents duly elected. The politically driven Oregon Department of Justice and Department of Public Safety Standards and Training should recognize the affiliations and geographical locations of those people clamoring the loudest to replace our county law enforcement with a more “agency friendly” candidate. “Agency friendly” is one who will ignore your constitutional rights in favor of anti-constitutional federal laws supported by local governments that deny your rights of access to public lands and send minor infraction violators to Pendleton to pay exorbitant fines to the federal government. All Grant County’s elected city councilmen and -women should have been included before the dictatorial county court made a decision that impacted all county citizens. These elected city officials have been ignored in their right and duty to defend their offices and an equal voice in residential government. To the cities within Grant County: Silence is consent.
