A national group of sheriffs that claims the top law enforcers in American counties are not bound by federal law has successfully spread its doctrine to dozens of states in recent years.

I think Good Things are good, Bad Things are bad, and violence should be used to make more of the first thing and less of the second thing.
An overseer torturing an enslaved worker on a plantation is “local governance”.
The 54th Massachusetts Infantry shooting that overseer through the head and heart like Peter Weller 22 minutes into RoboCop is “top down governance from a thousand miles away”.
The location of a government is not what makes it inherently good or bad, it’s what that government does.
Killing slavers—lest there be confusion—is good.
What about the FBI and the airforce bombing black neighborhoods in 1985? Like literally bombing them. Was that the kind of top down governance you want?
No, what makes you think I want that kind of governance?
I have already said Good Things are good and Bad Things are bad.
Fascist sheriffs: Bad
Bombing the MOVE building: Bad
What in the phrase
reads in any way as support for Philadelphia pigs bombing people?
If anything it reads to me as firmly against that sort of thing.
I agree. It’s much easier to hold your government to account when you guard them while they sleep. Can’t do that from 1300 miles away.
As you referencing Fight Club right there?
