Oregon Standoff Update: FBI Caught Posing As Militia Trying To Scare County Residents…. Posted on January 15, 2016 by sundance
The 30-year fire chief in Harney County Oregon has resigned over a rather disturbing revelation, and he is not alone.
The local and state media in/around Burns Oregon have been putting fear into the hearts of many Harney county residents by claiming various bands of “armed militia” have been stalking residents of the community. A typical example is HERE.
Amid these concerns and the promotion of community fear, the 67-year-old County Fire Chief, Chris Briels (on the job for three decades) responded to a call of “some militia guys poking around the local armory”. However, what he discovered was far more troubling.
Chief Briels observed two men in the armory; he followed them and decided to pull them over and ask questions. The men were very evasive and Briels became concerned about their intents and purpose – so he took a picture of the vehicle and tag.
Briels called in the tag number to the county LEO dispatch who ran a check of the plates and informed him the vehicle belonged to two undercover FBI agents. Briels then went to the county judge, Steven Grasty. Sheriff Dave Ward

Judge Grasty, also a county commissioner, along with Sheriff Dave Ward, are the county officials who have been promoting the community fear and telling the community about the dangerous militia.
When Chief Briels told Judge Grasty about the undercover FBI agents posing as militia, the fire chief was told to shut up and back off. Fire Chief Briels told Judge Grasty he would not keep quiet and he was going to tell the public what was happening.
Briels then turned in his resignation, held a press conference (below) and informed the media around the Aamon Bundy group at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge (occupiers & their supporters) what was going on
