Notes from the Resistance
An unidentified man died at the scene after allegedly trying to rob an off-duty officer’s property in Weatherford, Texas, and being shot dead by that officer. [More]
Sounds like a happy ending.
I didn’t give this an “Only Ones” title because I’m presuming in Texas an ordinary armed citizen could do the same.
The again, I’m assuming the level of investigation into what happened would be the same.

I’ve written about public disarmament at sporting and other mass public venues plenty of times, and there’s one discussion I’d like to hear some thoughts on, specifically, observing Cooper’s rule about what’s behind your target.

Innocent bystander gunned down at Utah protest as peacekeepers take aim at armed suspect – Police chief confirms victim was ‘not the intended target’ when peacekeepers fired at suspect carrying rifle [More]
It sounds like they had cause to engage, BUT…
We know the victim’s name. We know the “intended target’s” name (and what a leftist prize he’s turned out to be– don’t be surprised to find out he did it as a way to spur more “gun control”). But all we know from this report about the shooter is he was wearing a yellow vest.
“Today our city is grieving the loss of a 15-year-old boy whose life was taken by gun violence,” Akron Police Chief Brian Harding said in a statement. [More]
With this dolt in charge of law enforcement, no wonder the city of my birth continues to devolve into $#!+holedom.
That said, I’m not sure about how true that “enemy of my enemy” assertion is…

“Former Hialeah (just west of Miami) police chief Sergio Velazquez was arrested for allegedly stealing millions of dollars from the department – including cash seized from cocaine arrests.” [More]

Just imagine if they weren’t!

There’s uncles and there’s “funny uncles”…
Texas sheriff won’t be charged after leaving gun in Covington Wendy’s bathroom… Shortly after the sheriff left the restroom, a 15-year-old went in, found the unsecured weapon, and fired it when handling it. [More]
So he hasn’t really “owned it fully,” has he?
I wonder if you or I would.
A former Lubbock County Detention Center officer pleaded guilty Tuesday to attempting to buy a controlled substance. Taylor Millett was arrested in September of 2022 after she was caught buying fentanyl from an undercover officer with intent to distribute it to inmates inside the jail. [More]
If you’re ever arrested for exercising your Second Amendment-promised birthright, they’ll put you in gen pop and this is a representative example of government employees you’ll be at the mercy of.
Time served, eh?

Ex-Maryland trooper who used Facebook to sell informant’s identity to drug dealer for $1,500 learns fate [More]
Sounds like a great way to put a hit on somebody helping you.
And the frickin’ judge practically apologizes to him for a six-year sentence because the family he let down still supports him…? And the frickin’ judge is a Trump appointee…?

Dangerous ‘Devil in the Ozarks’ former police chief on the run as expert warns outdoorsmen to stay away [More]
I’d say “bounty,” but I think we all know what a dangerous clown show that could turn into.

Residents are asking for more police patrols after their condominium building was sprayed with gunfire during a deadly shooting in downtown Seattle on Wednesday night. [More]
“Sprayed”? That’s some “Authorized Journalism” right there!
And the residents, saved by an armed citizen (albeit a retired “Only One”) haven’t learned a thing and will continue to vote in gun-grabbers.

Sorry it took so long to reply– I was away for several days. The video incident happened before FL passed permitless carry. In retrospect, I should have pointed that out. [More]
The “Only One,” who doesn’t know the law and who said he had respect for an amendment he couldn’t even properly number, was instructing his victim to break another law.
If that’s coming from a sergeant, imagine the street grunt’s legal acumen.
