An Unqualified Success
SCOTUS ruling against Yost clears path for effort to abolish qualified immunity for police to advance [More]
“Law and order” Republicans need to figure out who we need that law and order for, and why.
Just goes to show: I’ve liked Yost, and Thomas and Alito, but we’ll never agree with everyone on everything.

California Votes Yes To Pass “Glock Ban” [Watch]
But don’t worry. There’ll be plenty of exceptions.
So, don’t expect Glock to pull a Barrett.

The Obvious Solution
We’re the Only Ones Thankful Enough
When asked to explain what happened, the officer said, “I mistakenly thought the trigger was a release for the revolver’s cylinder. Thankfully no one was injured.” [More]
From Colorado, of course. Now deflect by talking ab0ut a stellar career and awards to keep from giving us this absolute moron’s name…

An Inconvenient Truth
Lest Ye Be Judged
Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano has resigned from the bench where he has sat since 2011. Although his resignation letter, dated March 3, did not state his reason for stepping down, it followed shortly after a man awaiting deportation proceedings, accused by federal law enforcement of being affiliated with a Venezuelan gang, was arrested at Cano’s home. [More]
So, when will charges be filed against the judge?

We’re the Only Ones Unconfidential Enough
St. Petersburg Police Officer Brandon Klaiber was arrested by Pinellas County deputies on Tuesday. Investigators say he shared protected information with a man accused of planting explosive devices at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa. [More]
Yeah, run plates to ID and locate people for a desperate guy with bombs– what could go wrong?

We’re the Only Ones Home-Improving Enough
The State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) charged former Darlington police officer Mark Anthony Hayes with breach of trust and misconduct in office after using vape pens collected as evidence from an investigation to pay for repairs at his home, SLED warrants claim. [More]
Just when I thought you couldn’t get any dumber than a Hawaii Democrat…
What about those who set up a criminally negligent evidence storage system? And any lawyers going to file for retrial by introducing untrustworthy chain of custody evidence…?

We’re the Only Ones ‘Chicago Way’ Enough
When shots rang out at the Galleria Mall in Birmingham, Alabama, two things happened at pretty much the same time. Two police officers went toward the sound of gunfire, and one Good Samaritan drew his legally carried handgun and went toward the sound of gunfire to help. That was the last thing the Good Samaritan, EJ Bradford, did. [More]
As former CGO (Chief Chicago Oinker) Garry McCarthy threatened:
“I don’t care if they’re licensed legal firearms. I’ll train our officers that there is a concealed carry law, but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that. I’m telling you right up front.”

We’re the Only Ones Sympathized With Enough
Eighth Circuit sympathetic to former Iowa police chief convicted of buying machine guns [More]
I agree he shouldn’t have been charged, but I’m hardly sympathetic.
Doesn’t matter. Three-judge panel. This won’t be the end of it.

We’re the Only Ones Only Enough
As Missouri Republicans push a new version of the Second Amendment Preservation Act through the legislature, law enforcement officials in the state say lawmakers and supporters of the bill are ignoring their concerns…“I think it’s anti-law enforcement,” said Ellisville Police Chief Steve Lewis. “It’s bad legislation for law enforcement in that we believe it restricts law enforcement’s ability to assist federal task force partners with the seizure of weapons from bad people.” [More]
Back the Oathbreakers? Whatever, Porky.

We’re the Only Ones Anti-Social (Media) Enough
This story is actually from June of last year, but I don’t recall seeing it before.
Just think: “Hero” Deputy Cody Mayle is still out there with a badge and a gun.

We’re the Only Ones Disabling Enough
We’re the Only Ones Illegal Enough
“It literally turns dreamers into defenders,” said Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller [More]
In other words, illegal foreign nationals will be officially empowered to disarm citizens on American soil. All in the name of addressing crime committed by illegal foreign nationals.
Who needs blue helmets, right, Tim?
Democrats: The Treason Party.

We’re the Only Ones Self-Directed Enough
Deputy accidentally shoots herself in her leg during dog attack, PCSO says [More]
To her credit, she didn’t shoot the dogs’ owner.

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Trespassing Enough
St. Louis man arrested after impersonating officer, trespassing woman’s apartment [More]
As always, be aware that this is a pervasive phenomenon. You never know when you might need an “I did not believe he was a real cop” defense, so it won’t hurt to have plenty of examples of real threats to point to.

They’re Not the ‘Only Ones’
Civilians with permits stopped the attacks more frequently and faced a lower risk of being killed or injured than police. [More]
My guess would be the relevance of mentioning permits is that statistically, there may be more armed citizens with them in the types of areas where “active shootings” are more prevalent, especially since almost half the states don’t “allow” permitless carry. True, there’s no doubt an effect from the extra required training steps an average permit holder undergoes over permitless carriers, but I don’t think the data exists to quantify a difference. Many hardcore 2A activists who are practiced simply don’t believe in permits.

We’re the Only Ones Once Bitten Enough
“I told him he could take my gun and let me secure my dog,” said Phillips. “He didn’t listen. I had my hands up. I called them for help, and they came in hot, like I was the threat.” [More]
When you realize that when police show up they consider themselves the “Only Ones,” she was. So, of course he was cleared, bullet wond in her leg notwithstanding.
Officer safety, you see.
