Notes from the Resistance
Richmonders demand answers about alleged mass shooting plot: ‘We don’t deserve to be shut out’ – ‘This is something that could have affected every single person in this neighborhood’ [More]
Am I wrong to suspect when this is all said and done, somebody could end up disgraced and out of a job?

Off-duty police officers will no longer be allowed to carry their weapons while attending the New York State Fair, police departments were notified Tuesday in an email obtained by NewsChannel 9. [More]
Welcome to the party, pals!
Ah, well, what could happen?

Authorities said deputies in the Florida Keys have fatally shot a pilot who was deputized to carry guns on planes in what a sheriff calls an apparent “suicide by cop.” [More]
So are they walking back “federal law enforcement officer” or just recharacterizing it?

Hospital employee arrested after 39 guns, ammo found in office closet [More]
I can’t really find anything about the guy aside from this story, but the bottom line from what’s been reported is he’s facing years in prison, he hasn’t hurt anybody, and if the stuff was his, unless and until he abuses others with it, it’s his birthright to have…
Could be he’s a lunatic. Without due process before disarmament, we can’t legitimately tell. And New Jersey “Only Ones” aren’t exactly the benchmark to use…

‘I ended the discussion’: Richmond Police Chief Smith says he will no longer talk about alleged mass shooting plot [More]
An honest overseeing government would give him the choice to either spill or take the Fifth. An honest media would demand it. As would a citizenry “guard[ing] with jealous attention the public liberty.”
What does that tell us about Richmond?

Nearly 2,000 NYPD cops quitting before getting full pensions — a 71% jump from 2021 [More]
As far as I’m concerned, that’s 2,000 more I can lift a finger to.

Another former Loveland police officer will spend time behind bars for her role in the violent arrest of a 73-year-old woman with dementia. [More]
Anybody see anything about roughing up mentally incapacitated old ladies on the disqualifier list?
And I wonder if they could get a job protecting Phil and the Borough Council…?
[Via bondmen]
“By adopting this ordinance, the Borough Council will make it clear that our public buildings, such as our schools, our library and our community center, should be free from the dangers of unlicensed, poorly trained or troubled gun owners, while accepting our law enforcement officers who are doing their duty.” [More]
Because everyone’s safer with “Only Ones“!
And speaking of duty…

In a court filing Thursday, prosecutors say former Rocky Mount Police Sgt. Thomas Robertson used his law enforcement training to block police officers who were trying to protect the Capitol from a mob’s attack on Jan. 6, 2021. [More]
They train you to block police officers?
Or more likely they want to make an example out of him just in case any others are getting ideas on orders not to obey and when it’s appropriate to be a citizen first…?

Madison County Sheriff Buddy Harwood recently unveiled his plan to put gun safes containing AR-15 rifles in schools so school resource officers can respond faster to a school shooter, rather than standing by and waiting for local police to respond to the scene. [More]
I don’t suppose one in every classroom for the actual “first responders” is in the cards…?

‘Thought I Had My Training Gun’: Ex-Officer Charged in Special Officer’s Killing in DC Library [More]
And right before that he must have told “Only Ones” founder Lee Paige to hold his beer.
Urban libraries have to have their own police details? Do they have “patrol rifles“? I remember when a stern old lady going “Shhh!” was enough, back in the days before society became “progressive” and needed all these rules.

A now-former school resource officer in South Carolina has been charged by state police after authorities say they found 15 explicit images of a 17-year-old student on his cell phone. [More]
Just like the old man in

Tangentially-related UPDATE:
And Tom Wolf and the PA Dems say “Hold our beer.”

“We really don’t know where they got the Dogwood Dell thing. I’m not sure where that came from,” said Sam Simpson, an attorney for Balacarcel, following the Wednesday hearing. “Because they dropped it in a pretty quick manner, we haven’t really gotten to see all the evidence they might have.” [More]
Does this mean the informant is not the “hero” he’s been made out to be? I’m trying to figure out why gun charges would be dropped unless the evidence was illegally obtained, and I haven’t given up on my “Only One trying to get around a warrant” hypothesis.
I don’t suppose anyone in power is interested in coming up with a fix for the real issue here…?

California ‘Detective of the Year’ busted for sending sexually explicit messages in child sex sting [More]
Maybe he was just trying to establish a restaurant preference ahead of the big date…

Firearms must be transported unloaded and inside a trunk or cargo are of your vehicle. Firearms should be either wrapped, cased or boxed. Magazines and ammunition must be in a separate area of the vehicle (such as the backseat). Firearms must be in working condition. [More]
So how is an elderly widow giving up her late husband’s gun and who knows nothing about them supposed to safely determine all that?
