Notes from the Resistance
Authorities allege that a former suburban St. Louis police officer who is charged with sexually assaulting several arrestees also covertly took photos of people in public bathrooms. [More]
But he just did it to break the color barrier:
“I think 90.95% of our police department was white, never saw a Black officer,” he said.
Aside from the chief…?

Meanwhile, local TV channel KLAS 8 reported that Las Vegas Metropolitan Police disclosed they had detained a former member of their own ranks after the shooting. The suspect’s name, and the events that precipitated the killing, are not yet public. [More]
Yet this happened several days before that report, so the question becomes “Why the hell not?”
It’s like SOP for Las Vegas LE, who know who butters their bread, and controversey is bad for business.

The family of a man who was shot and killed by police while under an active court order for involuntary mental health treatment has sued the systems and individuals they believe were responsible for their son’s death. [More]
It doesn’t matter what the family believes. The police WERE responsible for their son’s death.
What a cluster from the word “Go.”

Comment Update from Mack H
David, I Wanted to discuss this a little bit further. The video has a segment on the family that does not show up in the article, so perhaps you missed it. Be sure and watch the video, starting around four minutes. The family says the officer shot their son six times. Does that seem right to you? Also, the CPD has a policy that all on duty officers have their body cameras active when Interacting with any person. So there has to be video of the officer shooting Byers with the hatchet. But the CPD refuses to release the video. CPD says “Ongoing investigation” – I say CYA.
Video evidence recently released by House speaker Mike Johnson, combined with many videos taken by participants during the January 6, 2021 demonstrations on Capitol Hill, now suggest strongly that the violence was instigated by the DC police, not the January 6th demonstrators, who until then had been peaceful. [More]
Now just hold the damn phone there a second… whatever happened to take your beating and like it?

NYPD cops leave force in alarming rate — over 2,500 turned in badges so far in 2023 [More]
So they’re not only outnumbered and outgunned, they’re physically outmatched one-on-one with the feral yutes posing the real dangers.
Who thinks things are going to get better? Show your work.

An NYPD officer caught on video standing by and watching as a lieutenant was ruthlessly beaten on a subway car by two men in the Bronx was put on desk duty and had his gun taken away, officials said. [More]
What about repercussions when they let worse happen to “civilians”? Anything ever happen to Terrence Howell, who took credit for a takedown he hid from while a citizen with the fighting skills to ultimately prevail was being stabbed?
With the Coward of Broward and Uvalde, and with citizens being arrested tor getting involved to protect others, who in their right mind would Back the Yellow?

The bills prohibit anyone convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence offense from owning a firearm or ammunition for 8 years following the payment of all related fines and completion of incarceration or probation conditions. [More]
But we can otherwise trust him without a custodian because we all know prohibited persons won’t be able to get guns, right?
The other oft-overlooked point: Exaggerated or outright false vengeance charges can be made and people who are overwhelmed can be pressured into a misdemeanor plea to get the threat of more and more severe charges off their backs — especially if they’re of limited means and don’t understand their rights and where they can go for help.
If the GOP doesn’t blow ’24 and the court stays the same, expect SCOTUS to rule IAW Bruen. How much injustice will be done in the meantime, and how many won’t be able to afford to challenge the unlimited tax plunder resources of the state?

Florida court drops case against Boston Heights police chief after alleged victim dies [More]
I thought in criminal cases the crime was against the state. I mean, charges are generally “People vs…., ” aren’t they, and they already have sworn depositions and police reports for evidence…?
With this rationale, all you have to do is kill your victim so he can’t testify.

As for Lozano… he says he called 911 but was surprised the police never showed up. “I dialed 911, called the operator, explained to the operator what had just happened… she said ‘OK,’ put me on hold, they transferred me to the non-emergency number, which I was there for almost 45 minutes.” He even called his local LAPD station and left a message. “They have a recording, I left the recording on the machine, explained who I was, what the situation was, and I haven’t heard a call back from anybody. [From video here]
He’d have heard back if he’d done this, especially if he’d hit one.
And look who’s being primed to wear the crown.

THIS is why the tyrants must purge Oath Keepers…
The wrong people were dragged before tribunals.
I’d start with Byrd-brain.
Incoming Assn. of Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs board member Jason Zabala previously described his tattoo under oath, saying it depicted a skeleton in a cowboy hat with a smoking rifle and the number 140. He called the stark combination of imagery a “station tattoo,” but others described it as the symbol of a deputy gang known as the Regulators. [More]
So these guys can get off-roster guns and you can’t…

[A] former Moss Point school resource officer was arrested and charged with sex crimes…. Sheriff John Ledbetter says 38-year-old Isaiah Thomas Hayes is accused of three counts of sexual battery and one count of enticing a child for sexual purposes. Sheriff Ledbetter says the alleged crimes occurred from August of this year until the end of October. [More]
Well, that’s creepy…
In fairness, the victim being 17 doesn’t excuse him but does change date night dinner options.
And also in fairness, that he’s the second one makes it fair to wonder about more…

Received via email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Wynn A:
The sentiment of gun owners seems to be if it isn’t ‘registered’ the powers that be don’t know about it. Fools errand. As witnessed with Katrina the goons will go door to door and forcibly search all buildings. The citizens of New Orleans went along with this outlandish conduct. Will today’s Americans do the same?
By the time they’re at your door, it’s too late.
Depending on the area, I have a feeling that if this starts in any significant numbers, many confiscators will end up more concerned about what’s coming to their door.
My guess is that potentially one or more of the three perpetrators either brandished a weapon or holding some type of weapon that may have been used as a weapon and the agent felt in danger of his life and or his partner’s in and around the area. [More]
Then why wouldn’t that be their main talking point from the start?
Also, I’d tell Genius here that feds aren’t exempt from the laws where they are, but he’s a perpetual troll, and we know what makes them tick, so it’s best not to reward him with feedback. It is revealing though, that he defends such lethal force against citizens. What a sad life, to have nothing better to do with it.
What would happen if an ordinary citizen had opened fire on car thieves? What is the likelihood he would not already have been arrested? Should the agent(s) be treated any differently? [More]
Or as Capt. Bryant said in Blade Runner, “You know the score, pal. If you’re not cop, you’re little people.”
This week, Sarah Fields, a journalist with The Publica Now, revealed on social media that FBI agents came to her home on October 17 unannounced. She claimed the agency demanded that she talk with them about her coverage of an alleged Hamas training camp on the US-Mexico border. In her posts, Fields claims that the FBI was trying to get her to reveal her sources. [More]
That way, if she does their work for them they can get back to the headline-making business of raiding J6 suspects…
What do you want to bet they’re trying to keep a lid on a guy on the inside while they wait for a bigger headline-making event to explode in our faces?
And tangentially related, WTF, soulless GOP demons…?
