We’re the Only Ones Substandard Enough

Decatur, IL Police to recruits: “don’t worry if you’re not good with firearms, it’s ok, we’ll get you to pass at the bare minimum” [More]

Tell me again why they will then qualify for exemptions on gun bans aimed at We the People…

Speaking of recruited Illinois “Only Ones,” on my way to the memorial this past weekend, we had a connecting flight out of Midway in Chi-Town where I saw this sign.

And those who pay for it…?

ISP are the lumps that told women to defend themselves by vomiting, claiming an STD or using a rat tailed comb instead of a gun.

We’re the Only Ones Flocking Around and Finding Out Enough

The Fayetteville Police Department fired three of its officers after they allegedly misused the Flock camera system, the department announced on July 17. According to police, testing of a new auditing feature revealed that the officers had conducted searches outside their scope of work — including looking for their own plates or those of friends and family. The three, who have not been identified, were put on administrative leave before being terminated. [More]

Birds of a feather…

We’re the Only Ones Persistent Enough

Investigators said Brown pulled over a woman on July 7 before 10:30 p.m. and obtained her phone number. Following the traffic stop, Brown allegedly sent the victim continuous unwanted messages — even after the victim blocked his number. [More]

The issue isn’t so much “When someone puts on our uniform,” Sheriff Chronister, as what he wanted to do when he took it off…

We’re the Only Ones Tricky Enough

The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that police cannot trick suspects into waiving their right to remain silent and have an attorney present during questioning, a ruling the American Civil Liberties Union is applauding. [More]

They can’t trick you into committing a crime, either.

Realize that once you become their focus you’ll be dealing with professionally trained liars and (don’t) act accordingly.

Sad, I know, to those of us who wanted to believe in Reed and Malloy.

We’re the Only Ones Friendly Enough

NYPD detective shot in back confronting gun-toting teen was apparent victim of friendly fire… When the suspect flashed his gun in front of the officers, three of the four cops fired — missing the suspect but apparently hitting Karroll, sources said, citing a preliminary probe. [More]

That’s a whole spate of “Only Ones”…

We’re the Only Ones Provocative Enough

BREAKING: Police Officer Reveals “350 FBI Agents Were Ready to Deploy” on Jan. 6 in Newly Released Police Body-Cam Footage (Video) [More]

I know who we could ask about this:

We’re the Only Ones Tyrannical Enough

SPECIAL REPORT: When Florida police act like they’re working in California – Travis E. Smith faces 15 years in a state prison and a $10,000 fine. [More]

Hey, don’t judge until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in “the officer’s” jackboots.

Besides, they think armed coercion is hilarious!

We’re the Only Ones Hot-Dogging Enough

Salem County Sheriff’s Sgt. Cody L. Henderson, supervisor of the K-9 Unit, has been charged in the deaths of K-9 Rip and K-9 Boomer. Prosecutors allege the dogs were left in a patrol vehicle for nearly 7 hours with the heat alarm system reportedly not activated. [More]

I’ve heard of them grilling one at a time before, but this is the first professional I’ve seen trained enough to pull off a daily double…

So… what was he doing all that time?

We’re the Only Ones Spicing Things Up Enough

Policewoman

A Midland citizen went to City Hall requesting paperwork. He sat inside the public building for an extended period … Then a Midland Police Department officer arrived. She issued commands, placed her hands on him, and ultimately pepper-sprayed him inside City Hall… After officials reviewed the footage and saw that he had not been acting belligerently, he was released with no charges. [More]

Sanchez…? So, what’s her full name?

I need it to “commend” her.

We’re the Only Ones Assaulting Enough

Off-duty Florida sergeant ‘stumbling drunk’ harasses elderly couple at bar, bystander jumps into action [Watch]

What a drunk. What a punk. And a sergeant, first hired in 2004, meaning he’s been showing them who he is for a long time.

So… when they terminate him does he still get to keep his pension?

Don’t Die for a Data Lie

Dramatics aside, it’s a known fact that any interactions with law enforcement, no matter how mundane, escalate the chances of a negative and potentially life-threatening outcome. Armed agents of the State with qualified immunity, taking someone by surprise over what is likely to be a bookkeeping error? [More]

So “false positives” have the potential to be much more than  inconvenient delays?

At least it’s bipartisan!

We’re the Only Ones Drugwalking Enough

The DEA, under President Joe Biden’s leadership, is at the center of a jaw-dropping “drugwalking” scandal that revealed the agency allowed 1.8 million fentanyl pills to be delivered, a move that a whistleblower says “100 percent got people killed.” [More]

Criminals in government literally believe they can get away with anything.

Are they wrong?

We’re the Only Ones Coprophiliac Enough

Despite being suspended from the San Antonio Police Department for allegedly serving a homeless man a sandwich containing dog feces, former officer Matthew Luckhurst has been named police chief of Benavides, Texas. City officials praised his “exemplary” recent record and said a thorough background check justified the controversial hire. [More]

Back the Brown…?

Who better to give authority, a gun, and a badge to than a proven sadistic, perverted bully?

We’re the Only Ones Vindictive Enough

Policewoman

“She was angry that he hired his son a lawyer, and asked to have the lawyer involved in questioning, which was perfectly legal and was his right to do,” said David Maxted with Maxted Law LLC. “And she decided to retaliate against them, and swore out a false affidavit and pushed forward a false criminal case against an innocent man. And it ruined his career and dragged his name through the mud, ruined his reputation.” [More]

Don’t worry, she’s retired and still gets her pension.
