We’re the Only Ones Job Hopping Enough

The legislation was introduced following more than a year of reports from 7 News Detroit, showing how problem officers have been allowed to jump from department to department, leaving scandal, lawsuits or criminal charges in their wake. [More]

Sounds like qualified impunity…

And remember: Back the Blue!

We’re the Only Ones Professional Enough

Law enforcement official accidentally shoots himself on campus of Lead Hill School District… Richey says the man is a licensed law enforcement professional and is legally authorized to carry a firearm on campus. [More]

The old Lee Paige excuse is a classic.

We’re the Only Ones Arms Dealing Enough

Police illegally sell restricted weapons, supplying crime [More]

It’s a prickly issue, alright…

On the one hand, I see the danger.

On the other, it seems like Democrats could use this to call for destruction rather than resale to the public…

If government just followed the law, we woudn’t have this problem.

We’re the Only Ones Appreciative Enough

“I understand constitutional carry and why it would be okay in some parts of Louisiana, but you can’t say that is true for New Orleans,” Kirkpatrick said. I’m a person who appreciates constitutional carry but not in every location. New Orleans is unique. We have no business with guns at a parade or in our entertainment areas at all.” [More]

Bringing the same results to New Orleans she did to Oakland, I see…

Only in government is suing your previous employer not a red flag for hiring managers…

We’re the Only Ones Automated Enough

A.I. cameras on the M79 and Bx35 routes mistakenly ticketed about 3,800 vehicles for blocking bus lanes. More than 870 of the faulty infractions were for cars, trucks and SUVs that were parked in perfectly legal spots. [More]

WarOnGuns interfaced with the AI and was able to obtain an exclusive statement:

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

Well, I certainly feel reassured enough to take the pod out now…

We’re the Only Ones Vigorous Enough

A then teenager who was shot back in 2022 by a San Antonio Police officer while eating a hamburger in the parking lot of a North Side McDonald’s is suing the former officer and the City of San Antonio… The claims asserted are without merit and we will vigorously defend the City in this litigation. [More]

Way to try and weasel-word your way out of complicity, spokesflack Andy. You guys were responsible for training your dog before you unleashed him on the public.

It’s just too bad the legal costs and settlement will be covered by taxpayer-funded insurance.

We’re the Only Ones Road Hogging Enough

A Georgia cop who once won “Deputy of the Year” was arrested and charged with DUI last week after he tried to drunkenly direct traffic outside of an elementary school — despite there being no cars in the area, according to police officials. [More]

While presumably armed. So, I take it the badge exempted him from the 1,000-foot rule that he would have been empowered to arrest you or me for “violating”…

We’re the Only Ones Following Protocol Enough

FBI Special Agent Arrested on Two Counts of Second-Degree Rape, Sexual Abuse in Maryland — Lured Women to Photoshoots with Promise of Modeling Jobs [More]

Interacting with citizens under false pretenses and then entrapping them and screwing them over…? I’m trying to figure out where he deviated from standard practices…

We’re the Only Ones Unsafe Enough

“The short version is, our headquarters isn’t safe, that’s the bottom line, our headquarters building is not safe and it’s not safe for two reasons,” Mattivi said. “Number one the location. We are in, and I don’t mean to be unkind to anyone, but we’re in a horrible neighborhood. [More]

So Democrat neighborhoods are too unsafe even for armed “Only Ones”…?

We’re the Only Ones Bouncing Enough

There is now video that shows the Trump supporters were not acting violently and had no idea they police were about to start firing rubber bullets at their heads. [More]

I’m looking forward to hearings where Inspector Lloyd and the shooter explain themselves. Under oath.

[Via bondmen]

We’re the Only Ones Unaffected Enough

While the Atmore Four live with the trauma and expense of fighting bogus charges, there have been no repercussions for the DA or sheriff. [More]

Hopefully the civil suit will change that, but it still leaves the question of where the hell AL AG Steve Marshall is on this.

We could ask.

[Via Michael G]

We’re the Only Ones Threatened Enough

California Allegedly Threatens Police Officers Over Deportation Compliance – CA mayor: The State of California “is threatening to take pensions and charge police officers with felonies if they comply with federal deportation laws.” [More]

Maybe this will let us see what Pam Bondi is made of, and if she can enforce immigration law, why can’t she enforce the Second Amendment?

My Kind of Razzmatazz

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has been trumpeting his police department’s homicide clearance rate of nearly 54%, the highest level in recent years. But a deeper dive into the data shows only a fraction of those “solved” murder cases have resulted in an actual arrest or charges… [More]

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.
