We’re the Only Ones Posturing Enough

The buyback was held at the Church of Love Faith Center on Exchange Street in Rochester, with over a hundred people waiting in line to surrender their firearms. It was organized as a way for community members to safely discard of their guns, with no questions asked. [More]

Like “Is it yours?”

The key word is “surrender.”

Can you imagine being “Leadership Award” winner Lieutenant Michael Ciulla and acting like this is anything more than an “ineffective” propaganda event?

We’re the Only Ones Nakedly Abusive Enough

We now know the name of the former Florissant police officer accused of stealing nude photos from women without them knowing during traffic stops. [More]

Not to change the subject, but women so compliant with authority and oblivious to their rights vote…? Democrat, right?

We’re the Only Ones Minutes Away Enough

A forklift stolen from a Wendy’s construction site was used to steal the ATM from a Fifth Third Bank, the North Canton Police Department confirmed. NCPD said they got a call from Fifth Third Bank Security on the theft at 4:03 a.m. on Oct. 15. [More]

They had to call? It didn’t set off an alarm?

Because Google Maps shows a straight shot from the station to the bank that would have taken two minutes that time of night.

Then again, does anyone really want the Canton Police coming by?

We’re the Only Ones Warlike Enough

What happened to Bryan Malinowski is not an isolated incident. It is part of a growing pattern of KGB-style behavior by U.S. federal law enforcement agencies. Let me mention briefly just a few other cases. [More]

It’s not fair to judge them until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in their jackboots.

It does kind of answer the question “What do you need a weapon of war for?”

We’re the Only Ones Forfeiting Enough

Appeals Court rules state must return $225K seized from California man during Brandon traffic stop [More]

Will he be compensated for the time and money he has spent fighting this?

And what will it personally cost the government thieves?

Here’s the way the JBTs describe it:

Asset forfeiture is a powerful tool used by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, against criminals and criminal organizations to deprive them of their ill-gotten gains through seizure of these assets.

“Criminals.” That sure implies they’ve been tried, found guilty, and sentenced, doesn’t it?

Someone with a better historical understanding help me out here: I found, on the Hawaii Criminal Justice Division’s page of all places, the claim that “The first statute authorizing civil forfeiture was enacted by Congress in 1789 as a sanction for the use of ships in customs violations. (Act of July 31, 1789, Sections 12, 36; 1 Stat. 39, 47.)”

If anybody has time to dig into this right now, does it say anything about them being tried and convicted first? I’m wondering if a Bruen style “text, history,. and tradition at the time of ratification” argument could be made.

We’re the Only Ones Disability Abusing Enough

In Phoenix, Arizona, cops were called by a Circle K gas station in reference to a white man they wanted trespassed from their store. When they arrived, the white man pointed across the street to a black man, claiming that the man was the actual culprit. Just taking his word for it, Phoenix officers Ben Harris and Kyle Sue violently attacked the black man. His name is Tyron McAlpin. He’s completely deaf and has cerebral palsy. [More]

Well, if he didn’t want to be arrested he shouldn’t have broken the cops hand with his mouth.
