“An Oath Keeper on guns, race and Ferguson”
This is from the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp:
Members of the Oath Keepers walk with their personal weapons on the street during protests in Ferguson, Missouri August 11, 2015. Police in riot gear clashed with protesters who had gathered in the streets of Ferguson early on Tuesday to mark the anniversary of the police shooting of an unarmed black teen whose death sparked a national outcry over race relations.

This article is done in a question and answer format. HM is Helen Mann, a reporter, SA is Sam Andrews a member of Oathkeepers.
HM: But the police say that you’re inflaming an already inflamed situation. So did the county executive.
SA: Let’s talk about the facts. On Sunday night, there were 57 shots fired. There were 152 arrests. On Monday night, up until about 11:50 p.m., there were 22 arrests. Bottles and rocks and bricks being thrown at the police. Several shots fired. At 12 midnight on Monday night, Joe Biggs and I and Jakari Jackson and my team of men showed up. And the police calmed down. The protesters calmed down. The protesters started coming up to us, giving us hugs: “Oh, thanks for coming back. We’re so glad — we haven’t seen you since last Thanksgiving.” And we had conversations with the black leaders, with the Black Panthers, with some of the gang members that were there, with a lot of the protesters that were there.
HM: So you’re assuming that your presence is the reason that things wound down.
SA: I’m not assuming that. I’m telling you that’s exactly what happened. We changed the paradigm in Ferguson.”
There is a lot more in the article. The reporter repeatedly quotes people who have said disparaging things about the Oathkeepers but still does a fair enough job of reporting the interview. That’s surprising these days, especially from the CBC.
