This Trumpy Long Island Politician Plans to Deputize Armed Civilians

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman is taking heat for his bold plan to deploy deputized residents during county emergencies.

www.thedailybeast.com

"In March, Blakeman and Nassau County Sheriff Anthony LaRocco put an ad on the county’s website for residents to apply to be “Provisional Emergency Special Deputy Sheriffs.” According to the ad, the deputized civilians must be “skilled in the use of firearms,” and “within 45 days of appointment must be trained and qualified on service weapon and complete basic training at the Academy in the NYS Penal law and Use of Force.” They’ll receive a $150 stipend for every day on duty, it says."

Sounds like a good start!

Need more of this before the vigilantes start to roam. That won't be pretty.

$150 a day is a slap on the face for that job.
I make that and sometimes I spend as much as 75% of my time on NES or halfway watching Netflix.

But I guess it’s a step in the right direction

Dupe.

Cops will hang these yokels out to dry faster than you can say "qualified immunity."
