Deputy to 70 year old American woman "were you born here or naturalized?" Before slamming her to the ground

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

Chief went to her home to apologize in person..so we know it's bad.

Not just his brutish behavior but that deputy takes it upon himself to sort people by citizenship status.

[Dave Bowman]

1. He seems to be ICE material, in other words trash.

4. Slamming a 70 year old woman on the ground? I really hope this is not standard police procedure.

[Deuxcents]

5. We've never had to carry our *papers* with us anywhere, let alone to our mailboxes. This is bull💩

and for the sheriff to say he’s gotta review the situation? There are no two sides to this

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

6. They wont even let people grab their "papers" within homes..

[Deuxcents]

7. We shouldn't have to..most people keep those things in a safe or even bank lockboxes. Some are irreplaceable

I keep mine with my Will and property deed and *papers* such as those.. this is nutz. He asked her for her papers because of her accent..let’s just say it, sheriff

8. What a freaking fascist that deputy is (nt)

[Dixiegrrrl]

9. What state is this? n/t

[RussBLib]

10. Missouri, apparently. Nt

11. While I'm not that worried about it

When these morons start talking about "being naturalized" that brings up the situation I'm in and that I've talked about before, honestly not sure how it's done nowadays but back in the dark ages when military members went on accompanied tours with their spouses, sometimes the military facilities were not always the best so they had to rely on the hospitals or whatever of the host country. That was my circumstance. Mom was pregnant, the airfield only had a field hospital so it was not equipped for live births therefore I was born in a Dutch hospital. I have a Dutch birth certificate.
Again, not sure how they do it now but back then, at some point after the birth, your parents needed to go to the US Department of State to get a Naturalization certificate (I was already three when I got mine).
While yes, I realize since both my parents were American born, I'm American. Purely on paper, it doesn't look like that. It looks like I'm a naturalized citizen, born in the Netherlands.
How do I convince some Gestapo goons that have had less training to do their job then the kid working the fry station at McDonald's that I am a full blown American citizen, born to American parents, to a guy that likely has a 5th grade reading and comprehension level?
I've never had to worry about it because it's never been an issue. Never even thought about it. Obviously there are, I don't know, tens of thousands of people in my shoes. Not alone in that situation, I do have a passport but it's coming up for renewal in about a year so I'm more than a little nervous.

Let's be honest though, if they are going to deport me to the Netherlands, that's a lot better then where some are being sent.
And no, I can't get Dutch citizenship because, like most European countries, they do not have birthright citizenship. It solely based on at least one of your parents being Dutch.

16. Convincing them is not the issue.

They are not being trained to obey the Constitution.They get bounties per arrest. Not convictions.
The intent of arrests is to make us fearful. That's why the arrests and the building of the concentration camps continue unabated, esp. in red states.
That's why court orders to desist are being ignored.
That's why reporters and judges are being attacked.
That's why DOJ is asking states to give up names of people like us who publicly make critical comments in the press.
That's why trump is creating election "problems" and wants his Gestapo at key voting places.

So far that works for them, as it has for every successful dictator.

[NBachers]

12. Send the deputy over to "Question" the asshole complaining neighbor.

[ColoringFool]

13. Deputy NeedsTo Be Suspended, Arrested, Convicted, Jailed.....

The Constitution says we can keep silent.

IN PENNSYLVANIA THANK GOD, for a legit traffic violation (say, speeding), one has 15 DAYS to produce license and registration.

IN PENNSYLVANIA THANK GOD, we aren't required to identify ourselves to a policeman, unless we are being placed under arrest.

We most DEFINITELY do not have to describe or prove our citizenship status.

Call my Commonwealth "Pennsyltucky" every day and twice on Sundays, but the Liberty Bell ain't just a relic in Philly to us!

14. These "deputies"

Need to be publicly executed in front of his fellow “law enforcement” officers to make sure they all know the consequences of flagrant misconduct. There should be no tolerance for such behavior. Expedite the legal proceedings and take these trash out.

[Old Crank]

15. Assault and battery.

Should be the charges.

[Kid Berwyn]

17. A nation rots from the head down.

And it seems to have reached the bottom, deputy.
