Three San Antonio police officers have been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a woman who was experiencing what the city’s police chief said was a “mental health crisis.” … “They placed themselves in a situation where they used deadly force which was not reasonable given all the circumstances as we now understand them”… [More]
So “escalate” and “agitate” aren’t the appropriate protocol…?

And no, they won’t let you comment.
I wonder if any media are going to show up and grill them about this…
Be funny if someone released one of these… speaking of which, where’s the recording, to prove SWAT saw Jason pick it up and could tell that it was being carried before they lit him up…?
The lawsuit follows. Readers are encouraged to set aside the time to go through it completely to understand the totality of events that happened and are still happening to a citizen attempting to comply with police orders, and to know if it can happen to Jason Kloepfer it can happen to any of us. [More]
That this story hasn’t been headline national news tells us much.

The Texas Legislature has approved and sent to Gov. Greg Abbott a bill that would require school districts to have an armed officer on every campus… [More]
Like they had at Columbine and Parkland?
I see many are excited about this so you’ll have to forgive me if amidst the gushing I still raise concerns about infringements and “Only Ones.”
[Via Jess]
That’s a version of the old and unfounded-in-reality “blood in the streets/Dodge City over fender benders” argument the gun prohibitionists used when railing against licensed concealed carry. And note his concern was not for “public safety” but for officer safety. [More]

Why do they do it? Human weakness. Most have invested in their shabby careers. Most are eying pensions. They go along. They follow orders. And if you think that, given the order and the chance, they will not pull a trigger for the ruling class, well, I have a burnt patch of Texas dirt to sell you. Cheap. [More]
Now let’s all us good “conservatives” bemoan the weight of the badge…

How’s the Nuremberg excuse go? We were only following orders…?
If the truth is ever known it will show government provocateurs were way more influential in spurring action than Stewart Rhodes ever was.

And a lot of other intriguing headlines over at Hawaii Free Press…
Law enforcement officials join ‘coal country’ in snubbing Republicans, backing Dem governor for re-election – More than 35 sheriffs and police chiefs endorsed Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear for a second term [More]
The short-term self-interested tools don’t realize that Democrats will give their politicians a pass on specific issues strictly as a matter of overall party power on the rest of the agenda.
Their betrayal will come soon enough. Meanwhile, they’re betraying the rest of their countrymen.

What’s with “the deputy”?
We know the innocent homeowner’s name. We know his wife’s name.
Why does the jackbooted, incompetent, truffle-rooting trough feeder get a pass?
