The Highway Patrol also will open an investigation into the origin of the report, which linked conservative groups with domestic terrorism and named former presidential candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin.

The Highway Patrol’s announcement followed a news conference in which Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, a Republican, suggested putting the director of public safety on administrative leave and investigating how the report was produced.

The uproar revolves around a report released last month by the Missouri Information Analysis Center, a “fusion center” for local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to collaborate on domestic security issues. The report concerned militia movements in Missouri and across the U.S., and described how they had evolved over the last several years.

But it suggested that domestic militias often subscribed to radical ideologies rooted in Christian views and opposition to immigration, abortion or federal taxes. The report also stated that it was “not uncommon” for militia members to support third-party political candidates.

The Highway Patrol’s superintendent, Col. James F. Keathley, released a memo saying the report did not meet the agency’s standard for quality and would not have been released if it had been seen by top officials.

“For that reason,” Keathley wrote, “I have ordered the MIAC to permanently cease distribution of the militia report"

Folks I'm not buying this for one minute, they knew, they read the report and thanks to one brave Missouri police officer, they were exposed.

I'm seriously thinking about writing a decree instructing the police officers in the City of Marble Hill, Missouri (where I serve as an alderman) to disregard this report, and any future reports that contain similarities specifically stating that they are not to profile motorists by using political bumper stickers or known political affiliations.

Elected officials take an oath to the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Missouri. Yes this means we have an obligation to make sure that our constituents are safe, but this also means that we have an obligation to make sure their constitutional rights are not infringed upon.

As of yet, the Governor has yet to apologize to the people of Missouri, please contact his office and let him know that he needs to own up and take responsibility for this document, after all, his name appears on the top of the report.
