Notes from the Resistance
The woman whose gun went off inside the Costco near Kalamazoo works for Michigan State Police. [More]
At least she didn’t violate any policies:
Costco policy prohibits firearms and other weapons to be brought into the warehouse, except in the case of authorized law-enforcement officers.

When it comes to gangs, they’re going all Highlander on us.

All the times the FBI had a suspect on its radar before a major tragedy [More]
You mean all the times somebody found out to report it…?
San Francisco Police Are Fighting Crime By Dressing up in Inflatable Chicken Costumes to Catch Drivers Speeding Through Crosswalks [More]
Ridiculous. And entrapment: I see a crazy person, I’m not stopping…
And way to embolden.

Got some X tips while I was out:
…the entire time police had Robinson’s vehicle impounded, they never checked to see whether both her fog lights were working, or not. They also never tested the car for potentially relevant evidence, such as gunpowder residue… [More]
Who needs good old-fashioned police work?
Come to think of it, that generally involved a rubber hose…

Revealing, and emotionally satisfying, the way he dismissed these two oath-breaking machine cogs, but I’m not inclined to emulate it.
Top Secret Service agents plan to retire ahead of damning report revealing massive security failures during Butler Trump assassination attempt [More]
Should I take this as a better election indicator than the polls?
It just gets better and better:

Houston Officials Trusted a Dishonest Drug Cop for Decades Before His Lies Killed 2 People … “There was no confidential informant,” Goines wrote. “I made the purchase by myself.” [More]
Another reason why “anonymous” snitch lines are evil:
What if you’re a cop and getting a warrant might prove problematic? (It’s not like we haven’t seen prominent warrant “workarounds” at the highest law enforcement levels recently.) Calling in a tip could reduce a lot of red tape.
Some people make me rethink my opposition to crucifixion, and I’m not even thinking as a deterrent.

“Violence interrupter” with gun in lap reaches for officer’s gun, gets fatally shot. Cue the violent protests. [More]
Another Big Weasel moment in time…

You gotta wonder what it is about experience in the culture that makes them think they can get away with it enough to risk losing job and pension, and over such insignificant rewards…
Let’s hope they also hammer the dumb mother******.
Where do they get these morons, and why is it considered OK to inflict them on the rest of us?
