In a forceful rebuke of federal criminal activity against the Hammond Family of Burns, Oregon, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin Sheriff Davie A. Clarke Jr., in a podcdast a week ago, talked about civil disobedience being sometimes necessary to correct the path of abusive federal agencies.

Clarke’s show, which can be found on Stitcher.com, was devoted entirely to the Oregon standoff between citizens and the BLM. Armed protestors have peacefully taken over a vacant federal building outside the town of Burns, in order to draw attention to the plight of the Hammonds.

Sheriff Clarke was the Sheriff of the Year at CSPOA for 2013, and has been in demand on national news outlets to share his conservative, no-nonsense brand of law enforcement ideas, which include suggesting his constitutents purchase and train with firearms so they can defend themselves from attacks.

The standoff in Oregon is in its second week, and the federal building where the armed protestors are squatting has been basically quiet, even though there are swat teams, military special operators, and FBI undercover agents posing as militia, all in the area. The goal of the occupation of the wildlife refuge headquarters is to force the BLM to return the land to the people who need it to make a living. Another goal is to secure the release of a ranching father and son who have been sent to prison for a second time for the same offenses for which they were originally convicted.

Sheriff Clarke outlines the history of the dispute over rural land in Oregon, and the attempts by the BLM to force the Hammond family to sell their land.

Towns people in Burns, Oregon where the ranchers live, were at first suspicious of the protestors, but several have visited the federal building without any law enforcement interference, and have expressed gratitude that the standoff has garnered media coverage of the plight of rural Americans trying to survive an expansive land-grab by the federal government.
