For much of us, September 11 has actually become a day of remembrance and a time to unite and look after other individuals in any little way we can.
For one constable’s deputy in Oregon, it was obviously a chance to share some dark guidance in the middle of the wildfires that have actually spread out in the Pacific Northwest.
A video was distributed online after a specific probably using a body cam captured the deputy offering a group of armed White nationalist militia members ideas on how to use force and kill civilians without getting captured or being charged.
The constable’s deputy has actually been recognized as Deputy Mark Nikolai, who was put on administrative leave.
The occurrence took location in Clackamas County, where he provided the advice and made incorrect claims about Antifa’s involvement behind the wildfires.
Nikolai can be heard stating in the video:
“Don’t get yourself in a scenario where you lose your rights because you pushed the limit.”
“You all mean to do excellent, your heart’s in the right location, however the courts nowadays do not provide a s ** t where your heart is.”
“Be advised, there are homeowners who have actually been prosecuted for murder since they killed some guy who was on their residential or commercial property. You need to show severe physical injury or death.”
“Now, if you throw a f ** king knife in their hand after you shoot them, that’s on you.”
Officials from the Clackamas County Constable’s Department have actually denied any affiliation with Nikolai’s declarations or viewpoint.
Constable Craig Roberts also said in a public declaration:
“I desire to clarify for the record: Among our captains suggested a source mentioned that Antifa was associated with possible criminal activity. That source has actually considering that been determined to be false.”

Bad LE similar to this is why we r all so distrustful of our police & & other law authorities. This is systematic bigotry in action.

And, this is why there can be no peace.
Corruption among police in the US is deep and widespread. Simply think of the stuff you don’t hear about or see.

Others, however, have actually shown support for his guidance to White nationalists.
A Facebook page was produced the next day, on September 12, encouraging the general public to support Deputy Mark Nikolai, his actions and his reinstatement in the Department. The Facebook page was entitled “Patriots for Deputy Nikolai.”
The mission of the page read:
“We as a community want [Deputy Nikolai] return to work. Share this page. [If] it gets enough attention, maybe Constable Roberts will listen to the Clackamas Neighborhood.”
After the Facebook page appeared, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Department also dismissed any ties in between their department and any support for Nikolai’s reinstatement.
The Facebook page was also associated to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office’s Administrative Assistant, Maigen Thompson. Thompson, nevertheless, stated she was not associated with the development of the Facebook page and was unsure why they would have used her e-mail address to produce it.
It’s uncertain who at first developed the page, and whether or not it will be enough to get Nikolai restored after his actions on September 11.
