Ho-hum, no matter how much you people try to play this up, the Oath Keepers (regardless of their "anti-government" sentiments) are nowhere near the "menace" and "threat" that the hundreds of thousands of gang-banging thugs that run amok in every major city pose. Sorry, but these gang bangers are every day demonstrating their menace to society through rampant criminal activity and scores of murders. Yet bleeding heart liberals choose to ignore this and will even label any concerns raised about gang activity or initiatives taken to end it as being "racist".

What does this have to do with the OP?
The Oath Keepers purport to oppose government injustice, which makes their presence in Ferguson an even bigger joke. If the presence has anything to do with what you are saying, well then they don't really stand for what they say they do, do they?
There was no reason for law enforcement to try and make them leave when they'd been hired by the private sector. Not everyone is like you and bows down automatically to what the states says.
Oath Keepers supporters need to get their story straight. Who hired them to do what?
The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) is a United States federal law, enacted in 2004, that allows two classes of persons—the "qualified law enforcement officer" and the "qualified retired law enforcement officer"—to carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of state or local laws, with certain exceptions.
Oath Keepers supporters need to get their story straight. Who hired them to do what?
To the best of my knowledge, the Oath Keepers are not for hire. If you have evidence of this, I would love to see it. Tell me, how many people have they killed?
While not de jure, they act as de facto security officers and guards, if not, in what capacity do they act, and why are they there?
Well, they were not acting in the capacity of paid security, so are not subject to ordinance 701.115. Therefore they did not disobey a lawful order issued by the police.
So are you willing to admit that you were wrong in you accusation that they violated a county ordinance, and disobeyed a police order?
