Sheriff: Extremists Breeding Danger

The political rhetoric from the far right is breeding homegrown dangers, and local police agencies are no more militarized than they’ve ever been. Those were the two main points from a speech Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich gave Monday night, which was hosted by the Republicans of Spokane County at Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley. Before nearly 350 people, Knezovich said he wanted to speak bluntly on causes some of the audience members might sympathize with, such as gun control and individual rights, because he was concerned about the future of law enforcement. Though he listed extremist groups from the left and right, and both apolitical and international, he pointed his discussion at right-wing militia and patriot groups, and at ideas disseminated on conservative talk radio and websites/ Nicholas Deshais , SR.

Question: Are you concerned by the rhetoric of local Far Right groups?
