I guess Im one of those far-right extremists and a threat to law enforcement because Ive taken several oaths to support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, namely: 1. On July 9, 1971, I enlisted in the United States Air Force and took the following Oath of Enlistment: I, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. 2. On January 6, 1978, I became a Monrovia Police Department Officer and took the following Oath of Office: I, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I am about to enter. 3. On December 21, 1979, I became a Naturalized Citizen and took the following Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America: I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. And yes, while not yet a member, I have attended several Oath Keepers meetings. By the way...yes, you read it correctly. I became a US Citizen almost two years AFTER I became a police officer. A loophole in California law back then.
