Notes from the Resistance
Officers from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) routinely trespass onto private land—without consent, a warrant, or any reason to suspect a hunting violation has occurred—to conduct exploratory searches. They ignore fences, gates, and “no trespassing” signs, treating private land like public property. And all of this is purportedly authorized by an Alabama statute. [More]
I resume they can kill your dog with impunity if he vocally objects?

Well, now that we’re BFFs and all, when are you guys going to start working to release peaceable “violators” you put away under the old rules…?

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.

Ah… “professional courtesy…”

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]

This George Floyd documentary gives people a look at the ‘lies’ [Watch]
Evil people in power ordered a controlled burn that is still endangering their scapegoats, that is, those of us they smear as white supremacists deserving of whatever “restorative justice” those who act on the lies choose to mete out.

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…?

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.

Many more FA, if not this time, and I’d expect the FO retaliatory phase to be ordered.

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.

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.
