We’re the Only Ones Rocket Surgeons Enough

A rocket launcher was recovered by Santa Clara County Sheriff’s deputies during a gun buyback event in San Jose… [More]

Did they get it from Charlie Beck?

Or Seattle PD?

Hey, if you see a con that works, use it. There’s a reason street hustlers still take in the marks with Three-Card Monte.

And who better to pull off a scam than the Santa Clara County Sheriff & Co…?

We’re the Only Ones Command Present Enough

The officer cussing at me would come off as someone with authority (and a weapon) feeling entitled to address me however they chose. It would also be a reminder of the weapon. It would be both hostile and demeaning. The schoolyard bully should not be the model for officers’ behavior. [More]

At least you can take on a schoolyard bully, even in front of others, and gain a newfound measure of stature with your peers if you prevail. Take on a cop and you’re taking on the power of the state.

A River in Egypt

JAMES WAS ARRESTED IN JANUARY 2022 FOR THREE MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT CHARGES. THE VICTIM’S BELIEVED TO BE HIS PARENTS AND A SIBLING. THE FAMILY STATED THAT JAMES DOES NOT BELONG IN JAIL. [More]

That’s one hell of a tightrope to walk, weighing familial love and guilt against denial, justifiably fearing police overreactions, and ensuring due process-respecting interventions.

There oughta be a law.

We’re the Only Ones Guilty as Hell Enough

By signing the plea agreement, Van Aelstyn admitted he “knowingly, corruptly, and illegally” retained the guns, his plea deal states. Van Aelstyn faces a maximum of one year and a day in prison… [More]

I wonder what Wayne Fincher would have thought of that sentence…

UNLV Shootings Prove It’s Time for Gun Law Changes

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James offered a harsh criticism of gun laws in the United States in the wake of the deadly shooting at a college in Las Vegas… [More]

I agree. If only they were changed to where posession couldn’t be denied:

PROHIBITED CONDUCT… N. Without prior written authorization from the President or his/her designee, possessing, storing, controlling, or using a functioning or nonfunctioning firearm…

Say what you will, but when it comes to basketball players and crime, they do have more experience than most.

New Mexico Gun ‘Buyback’ an Exercise in Contradictions

But “Come on down, and you’re on your own” is what the Farmington Police Department, New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence, and the “real reporters” at The Journal consider “gun safety,” and that’s what they’re urging everyone to take part in? And if someone gets hurt or worse due to this deliberately indifferent incentivized ignorance, have they run the chief’s admission by their respective legal departments to consider against the familiar civil complaint words “knew or should have known”? [More]

I wonder if the city attorney is willing to expose Farmington to the unsafe gun handling liability the chief just confessed to the media, along with all the other questionable legal practices ? Why not ask?

We’re the Only Ones Sounding Off Enough

Former U.S. Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarik Johnson, who was present at the Capitol on that day, has been challenging the government narrative on the incident and has indicated that the authorities on the ground were ill-prepared for what happened. Now, he indicated that he would be releasing audio recordings that could further blow up the prevailing narrative and suggested a “set-up” and cover-up surrounding the issue. [More]

I hope this isn’t another Kraken…

UPDATE

Ex-Capitol Police Officer Releases Audio Proving J6 ‘Cover-Up’ [More]

Does that sound like a roar that can’t be ignored to you?

We’re the Only Ones Goony Enough

Narcotics detectives and patrol officers, some who called themselves the Goon Squad, barged into homes in the middle of the night, accusing people inside of dealing drugs. Then they handcuffed or held them at gunpoint and tortured them into confessing or providing information, according to dozens of people who say they endured or witnessed the assaults. [More]

I thought “we” sent terrorists to Gitmo…?

And the sheriff’s excuse is he’s oblivious?

Looks like Facebook comments are causing them to deactivate content.
