    unless I missed it, why exactly did the sheriff have private security hired for a town hall?

      The entire local GOP party pointed fingers at every other person involved when asked why and who hired them. Literally each member had a different answer, some saying the chair hired them, some saying the sheriff, some saying they had no idea. The Sheriff claimed he didnt hire them, but was specifically directing them to haul away tge protestors.

      They are charging them because it looks like no one “officially” hired them, and since no one will own them being the defacto security, they effectively assaulted and kidnapped these protestors.

      Basically, these goons are getting tossed under the bus to protect the local GOP officials who wanted goons, but off the books goons.

        It should also be noted that Coeur d’Alene, a town of only 50,000 people is known primarily for being the Neo-Nazi capital of the PNW, as well as many other Christian nationalist groups, to the point that the local GOP is basically beholden to these groups.

        Nobody should be surprised when it’s revealed in court that these brown shirts are closely tied to those same groups.

        I hope they all cut a deal with the prosecutor and snitch on who hired them.

      Because the RNC begged for protection for their minion from the peasants.

      I would have been absolutely throwing as many punches as I could.

    Hilarious how they throw the bootlickers under the bus to protect the POS sheriff.

    Its fine everybody, the sherriff’s office is going to do an investigation of the sherriff and get back to us. Nothing to see here. You can go about your business.

      And of course if the local government doesn’t investigate we can trust there will be federal oversight. - lol

    The people probably should have stood up and not let them pass with her without some sort of identification.

      In Idaho? The crowd probably kicked her as the goons dragged her by.
