Report: Mich. Pol Asked Militia For Help
Town Supervisor Asked Militias, Including Hutaree, For Assistance in Finding Missing Residents

(CBS) In a news report just days before the FBI arrested nine members of Christian militia group in Michigan on charges they were plotting an attack on police officers, local government reached out to the militia for help finding missing residents.

According to a report posted on AnnArbor.com March 25, Bridgewater Township Supervisor Jolea Mull twice asked local militias, including Hutaree, the group from which the nine suspects belong, to help law enforcement in their search.

Mull contacted the groups in January and in February of this year, AnnArbor.com reported. James Schiel, part of a militia group called the Michigan Militia Corps Wolverines, said Mull called him and he rounded up a team of his own militia members, as well as three from Hutaree.

"That was the very first time we were deployed in an official capacity," Schiel told AnnArbor.com, adding that it was a significant event for his group.

Mull said she looked to the militias for assistance because of their training.

"Based on what I have observed of our local militia's efforts, I highly recommend that other municipalities coordinate with and get to know their local militia members," Mull, a Republican, told AnnArbor.com.

2. "...Mull said she looked to the militias for assistance because of their training..."

Sorry. Training in how to build bombs and ambush people in the woods is of ZERO use in search-and-rescue.

What a maroon.

3. "Based on what I have observed of our local militia..."

Okay... Why is a Township Supervisor "observing" militia activity?

4. Because she is one of them would be my guess

I hope the FBI is checking into this.
