Staged Video Gets It Right About Many Cops and Ignorance on Open Carry

Bottom line, armed citizens are out there. A lot of them. Law enforcement needs to understand this and be prepared to handle encounters respectfully and professionally. [More]

It’s bad enough when we’re behaving legally and they’re not. Add in jokes and threats about killing us, and that’s intolerable.

We’re the Only Ones Jerky Enough

An Oklahoma City police officer pulled over Canadian County (OK) Sheriff Chris West for speeding (outside of Canadian County). Almost immediately, he recognizes Sheriff West, who proceeds to demand special treatment, ultimately lecturing – and perhaps threatening/intimidating – the officer, who only gave him a warning. [Watch]

Ah… “professional courtesy…”

We’re the Only Ones Measured Enough

Size matters.

So does competence.

We’re the Only Ones Barrier-Breaking Enough

A New Hampshire man who was heralded as the first black sheriff in the state’s history was sentenced on Monday to 3 1/2 years in prison for squandering $19,000 of taxpayers’ money on expensive getaways with multiple love interests — and then lying to investigators about what he’d done. [More]

I guess he had to work twice as hard at being a corrupt piece of s…

We’re the Only Ones Propertied Enough

Rollins noted that the “fence that was put up in 1910 by Charles’s great-great grandad that no one ever thought there was a problem”… “That’s [all?] they hear of it until agents in SWAT gear show up at their front door and say that they are being criminally charged for theft of government property that they need to find guardians for their young children because they are likely going to jail”… [More]

Anybody see any “Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings” in all this…?

We’re the Only Ones Homicidal Enough

Three years ago, Detective Daniel Leyden shot and killed his girlfriend, Deputy Abigail Bieber, before turning the gun and killing himself. It was the third murder-suicide involving Hillsborough County deputies within five years. [More]

And the LEO/”civilian” divide isn’t just localized.

Just think of all the situations and places where they can have a gun and you can’t. Then ask yourself what the state is unleashing on the rest of us.

We’re the Only Ones Armed Robbing Enough

In exchange for his repayment of the $3,500 that was stolen, the felony theft charges have been dismissed. [More]

So hes not a prohibited person now, like you or I would be if we ever sank so low?

Abusing a position of special public trust like that actually deserves more punishment than an ordinary person would get. Along with a good flogging.

We’re the Only Ones Knowledgeable Enough

5 deputies and officers sent to hospital after sheriff’s office says man intentionally blew up home… Because of Borja’s criminal history, the sheriff’s office also responded in a supporting role. [More]

Tell us more about that criminal history, and what the guy was doing out.

I’m sorry, I watched the video with the newschick with a nose ring and kind of lost track of everything else… Look, I’m old and never watch TV news, so I gotta ask: When did this become an acceptable professional standard?

I also don’t like to see cops with sleeve tats, so you’ll just need to forgive my intolerant social obsolescence.

And the Copsucker of the Year Award Goes To…

Today, the @HouseGOP passed a bill to REMOVE regulations limiting concealed carry rights for law enforcement officers. Whether on duty or off, these brave men and women always do what’s needed to protect our communities. They’ve earned the right to carry, and we’re making sure they can do so to keep both themselves and our communities safe. [More]

And we saw how many came to our aid after LEOSA passed.

“Earned.” Good grief, Ronny.

Now wipe your chin.
