GotNews.com’s Ferguson police sources are confirming that they are grateful for the support of a libertarian militia group.
“I was wondering when volunteer militia would finally show up,” said a well-placed law enforcement source.
“The Oathkeepers started standing watch from Ferguson rooftops on Tuesday since Governor Nixon abdicated his duties Monday.”
The officers describe being overwhelmed by the mob and under-supported by state and federal authorities.
“Thank God for them.”
