Notes from the Resistance
Texas Democrat James Talarico Said Having Police in Schools Fuels ‘Culture of Violence’ in Newly Resurfaced Audio [More]
Why is it every time I see this lunatic I picture Elliot Page?
If it ends up being between him and Cornyn, well, this is how the system keeps gunvoters in line.
And look what else Texans can elect. Good grief.

Sheriff’s lieutenant with million-pound fireworks stash led to deadly blast, prosecutors say [More]
This one particularly grinds my gears because I used to work in the fireworks industry in California, initially brought in to help fight multiple municipal ballot measures to ban them. The “rationale” was to blame tepid “safe and sane” fountains for the illegal stuff brought in from Pahrump and beyond.
When I think of what we had to go through to operate in compliance, the worthy nonprofit efforts that were denied a great fundraising tool, the sanctimonioius blue noses who demanded their prejudice ruin things for everybody, and the Democrats who led the efforts to ban them, let’s just say I would not be a very fair juror.

Long Island Dentist Sues Nassau County Police for Illegal Firearms Seizure [More]
Not the first time the jackboots have raided a peaceable gun owner.
What the hell is it about Nassau Democrats who vote for tyranny?
Through the Downtown Ambassador Program, safety ambassadors will roam downtown Thursdays through Sundays from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m., according to Nickie Davis, executive director of the Downtown Community Improvement District. These unarmed ambassadors will serve as “extra eyes” for the Columbia Police Department. [More]
I understand they even have their own patrol vehicle.

Police have warned right-wing activist Tommy Robinson after they received intelligence that he was named in a so-called Islamic State publication, which encouraged others “to commit violence” against him… The officer continued: “Just remind, you know, because of this information, it doesn’t authorise you to carry weapons, anything like that, take any pre-emptive action against others, if you’re aware of any action…” [More]
But that’s OK since “He was provided with safeguarding advice and support in line with our standard processes.”
UK police are not obliged to provide anything else, you know.

Michael Ketcherside was charged with continuous promotion of prostitution. Matthew Cantrell, the former Godley Chief of Police, was charged with promoting prostitution. Former Godley police officer Solomon Omotoya was charged with soliciting prostitution. [More]
Not very Godly of ’em…
At least tell me they were out of uniform…
Looks like they won’t be promoting anything for a while.

Cops Arrest Man on His Own Property After Karen Neighbor Hears Gunshots [Watch]
I hope he gets a lawyer and that lying sow and her co-conspirators get what’s coming to them. I also suggest he file a complaint with the Tennessee Attorney General’s Civil Rights Enforcement Division and demand an investigation into falsifying a police report.
That said, he should have just said “I’ll speak to you through my attorney” and shut up.
And point of order: I don’t like using “Karen” any more than I do “Boomer” for reasons stated at each link.
The Sheriff’s Office is getting its @$$ handed to it over on Facebook.

There are currently 22 open misconduct complaints against the Minneapolis chief of police, who himself has criticized a “lack of accountability” when it comes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. [More]
That lump’s got as many stars on his collar as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

As details emerged, students voiced concerns about their safety and the university’s response, calling for faster and clearer communication. Many expressed frustration with how Northeastern handled the incidents, saying they turned to social media and peers to fill information gaps left by delayed and sparse official alerts. [More]
Everything but realize what they’re going to have to be prepared and able to do if they hope to have a chance when its their turn in the barrel, and then demand the right to do it while disregarding anyone who orders them “No.”
Of course, it’s easier to just stick your head in the sand and believe Ruben.

He rushed back to get his cell phone and was using his Glock’s flashlight to try to find it in the trunk of the SUV. When he tried to holster his gun, he shot himself — yes, right in the butt cheek. [More]
When I wondered how this could have happened, I wasn’t expecting a comedy routine. Lesson learned.
Only one question really remains: How come they’re deliberately not releasing his name?

A Virginia woman wrongfully jailed for three days under another person’s name now has a legal expert telling CBS 6 she has a strong claim at both the state and federal levels against the agencies that held her. [More]
Yeah, but what do false positives have to do with guns?
