It seems like the democrats are not happy with this program, but they may not be able to stop the formation of a well regulated armed militia.
MINEOLA, Long Island (PIX11) — The Nassau County Executive is pressing ahead with his plan to create a group of armed special sheriff’s deputies to be used in the event of an emergency.
He said the first 25 civilians could be ready to deploy in an emergency as early as late May.
It comes even as outcry against the plan grows, including a large protest outside the County Government building on Monday.
A few hundred gathered on the steps of the county seat in Mineola. The protesters accuse Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman of creating his own militia– to be called up only when he deems there’s an emergency.
“Whose command will this militia be under? How much coordinating with the police will they do? How much training will they get? Will they be given other weapons when they are activated?” posed a spokeswoman for the Nassau County Civil Liberties Union.
It was one of many groups represented at the event organized by Nassau Democrats.
