That’s quite a lot of extra topping.
These guys never seem to do it where there are risks…

I just got a bunch of links I won’t even have time to look at, let alone post and comment on, so I just copied and pasted them over on my WoG Placeholder site. [More]
Now is a good time to remind readers of my “About ‘The Only Ones’” explanation in the sidebar.

According to charging documents, Beltran agreed to pay a high-risk victim of human trafficking in exchange for sex with her as part of an ongoing arrangement. He’s also accused of negotiating to have a threesome with the victim and a member of her family. That family member is also believed to be a victim of human trafficking and Beltran allegedly knew that. [More]
I’m just surprised they haven’t put him on traffic patrol until this thing settles out…

But McClain, who had committed no crime, did not understand why he was being detained, and his objections were met with swiftly escalating force, culminating in an injection of ketamine that left him unconscious. [More]
I can’t help but notice “Aurora transformed from a reliably Republican city to a decidedly progressive Democrat-controlled one.”
Who thinks that can’t be extrapolated?
The cognitive dissonance— it burns…
On a different note, here’s a handy immediate survival tip that would predclude many such outcomes: Don’t talk back (or at all), quietly comply and don’t resist (unless you have good reason to think you can prevail and get away with it). Barring that, live to go after your authoritarian attackers later.

Woman sues L.A., says her husband sent nude photos of her to co-workers. He’s a cop. So is she [More]
I look at this kind of crap going on by government workers with pensions not offered in the private sector, in Democrat administrations that lecture us on sexual harassment and criminalize protocol offenses, and the thought strikes that I have never worked for a company where such behavior wouldn’t have resulted in immediate termination — as it should have.
I wanted to see if L.A. was being hypocritical by going after/prosecuting private employers, so did a quick search on the terms: Los Angeles sues sexual harassment. I guess the preponderance of results shouldn’t have surprised me:
I could go on and on.
It’s like the gun issue– power perverts who can’t (read “won’t”) control themselves are obsesssed with controlling the rest of us.
Why should these monkeys be able to have guns forbidden to me, and in places I can’t go without fear of being taken hostage or killed — by them?
The video posted on TikTok shows three people not wearing police uniforms holding a man down on the ground. An officer then approaches them, and appears to punch the restrained man in the head multiple times. [More]
So how is that not assault with a deadly weapon?

And this is why the story got snuffed out of the news cycle: there were laws already on the books that could’ve stopped this shooting. [More]
No, there are not. And that’s terrible advice.
The only law that could have is not on anyone’s books.

They have the advantage of being known to local law enforcement as political leaders with enemies, so any police response is sure to factor that in.
The rest of us don’t have that advantage. I’m wondering if coming up with some kind of LE notification for the local police and sheriff would be feasible along the lines of telling them who you are, where you live, and why someone might want to do that to you, would be useful for them to have on record as a precaution against a military assault being their default setting, or if that wold be breaking the First Rule of Rights Club…
Michigan Sheriff Dar Leaf is offering a “militia course” to residents, according to a Friday Facebook post. The constitutionalist sheriff posted a graphic for enrollment to “learn a militiaman’s duty” for “potential jurors, homeschoolers, ladies & gentlemen.” [More]
No doubt TPTB are loooking for ways to infiltrate, smear, and destroy him.
The security officer told police that around 10:50 a.m., she accidentally left her handgun in a stall in a girl’s restroom. She said she did not realize her gun was missing until over an hour later. [More]
Who does she think she is? Michael Byrd…?
And lest you think we’re only talking about a few bad crapples…

Here, it just seems that the court is either creeped out by dogs sniffing butts or particularly protective of the embarrassment of body odor. [More]
I’m creeped out by anyone presuming authority to do that to me. And I’m further creeped out by the ones who give their dogs secret cue signals.

And does Youngkin really think that sucking up will earn him appreciative kudos?
Yes, of course, if someone can’t be trusted without a custodian that should mean the custodians assume a legal duty for his care and his welfare. But guess who doesn’t want that.
Funny, what Youngkin won’t take a stand on, like “red flags.”

Terranova allegedly used Snapchat to ask underage boys as young as 12-years-old for explicit photographs, prosecutors said. On one occasion, officials alleged he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old family friend, offering him a ride home from a party but instead taking him to a secluded location and directing him to engage in sex acts, prosecutors said. [More]
Curious, who they DO trust with a gun there…

A former Ohio vice cop accused of demanding sex from women in exchange for their freedom has pleaded guilty on federal charges related to kidnapping, after being cleared earlier this year of murder and voluntary manslaughter charges in a similar but separate incident. [More]
I was an alternate juror on a pimping and pandering case decades back when I lived in L.A. My takeaways:
I didn’t see any girls I’d let pay ME. The johns were all pathetic. No wonder they had to pay for it. The vice cops were the sleaziest ones in the courtroom.
A South Park clip (extremely NSFW) comes to mind.

Two teenagers are in custody Tuesday on suspicion of car clouting in south St. Louis after police fired shots at the young men. [More]
What, they didn’t hit them? What DID they hit?
And yeah, I had to look it up, too.

“You’ve been watching too many shows and reading too many books,” the agents respond. “I’m sure we’ll find you again someday.” [More]
What are “the agents” names? That bullying arrogance needs names and faces attached to it.
Why did he talk to them at all? Any denial that can be proven false is a felony and a lifetime gun ban. They’re obviously trying to entrap him and from what I’m hearing, they may have unless he surreptitiously gets rid of it.
And why does the tab in the USA Today article read “Conspiracy theories abound…” ? What “conspiracy theories” does the “real reporter” document? Or is this just more of what we’ve some to expect from Gannett Publications…?
Funny, how the first heinous act of supprerssor abuse they could come up with to show how they’re too dangerous to trust the public with was:
A former Los Angeles Police Department officer armed with a Glock pistol and AR-15, both affixed with silencers, shot and killed four people in February 2013.
And in any case, they did not establish how the suppressor on the gun made it any more deadly or allowed the perps to get away with it, or had any more effect on what happened than the color shirt the killers wore. Hey, when you have a herd to spook, they’re not apt to sense a correlation/causation logical fallacy.
Supreme Court sides with woman forced to her knees by police when she was 83 [More]
Looks like they don’t get qualified immunity for this one, but what I’m not clear on is does the department pay or the officers themselves, or all? And will she still be alive to collect by the time this settles?
