officials tonight to discuss his position.

A police chief was detained and harassed by federal
agents while traveling to a constitutional convention before returning
home to be told he was being placed on administrative leave and ordered
to disband his police department after signing a pledge to uphold the
bill of rights.
Police Chief Shane Harger of the Jemez Springs, NM
Police Department was flying out of Albuquerque Airport last week on his
way to a Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA)
convention taking place in Las Vegas. CSPOA is
an organization headed up by Sheriff Richard Mack under which law
enforcement officers gather to re-affirm their commitment to uphold and
defend the Constitution.
Before passing security, Harger was approached by a TSA
agent who asked the police chief to show his credentials. Moments later,
a man claiming to be a “federal agent” also asked to see Harger’s
credentials before telling him he was a “person of interest.” The
federal agent then demanded to know where Harger was traveling to and
why.
When Harger told the federal agent he was attending the
Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association Convention in Las
Vegas, he was detained for 35 minutes before finally being allowed to
board the airplane.
On Tuesday January 28, a day after his return, Harger
was placed on administrative leave and ordered by Sandoval County, NM,
Sheriff Douglas C. Wood to disband his entire police department due to
his “political affiliations”.
What were his political affiliations? While attending
the convention, Harger, along with 38 other police officers, signed a
declaration affirming their pledge to “obey and observe” the U.S.
Constitution, in addition to refusing to carry out unconstitutional
orders such as gun confiscation without constitutionally compliant
warrants, violations of the 4th amendment without probable cause,
detainment or incarceration of citizens without probable cause, or
working with the military for domestic law enforcement.
In other words, Harger was targeted for federal
harassment and subsequently suspended for re-affirming his belief in the
very Constitution he took an oath to uphold and protect in order to
become a police officer in the first place.
“Despite having received a meritorious commendation from
the Mayor of Jemez Springs on January 22, 2014, it seems that no one in
the village government is willing to come to the assistance of Harger.
It appears that Harger’s stance to defend and uphold the Constitution
has put him and his entire department of ten part-time and volunteers
out of business,” writes Vincent Finelli.
“I was at the convention and I never saw nor heard
anyone say nor do anything that was a violation of any law. The CSPOA
convention was an assembly of peace-loving Americans who just wanted to
uphold their oath of office, that being to support and defend the US
Constitution and Bill of Rights for all of us, We The People,” adds
Finelli.
Harger’s treatment is yet another disturbing indication
that the federal government, in addition to law enforcement authorities,
view Americans who support the bill of rights as domestic extremists.
Harger’s position as Chief of Police also shows that they are desperate
to prevent citizens who identify as constitutionalists, tea partiers or
libertarians from holding any position of influence within law
enforcement or society in general.
Harger’s potential dismissal for his patriotic and
constitutional “political affiliations” is a chilling reminder that such
positions are not only not welcomed but actively discriminated against
by the federal government.
