We’re the Only Ones ‘Chicago Way’ Enough

When shots rang out at the Galleria Mall in Birmingham, Alabama, two things happened at pretty much the same time. Two police officers went toward the sound of gunfire, and one Good Samaritan drew his legally carried handgun and went toward the sound of gunfire to help. That was the last thing the Good Samaritan, EJ Bradford, did. [More]

As former CGO (Chief Chicago Oinker) Garry McCarthy threatened:

“I don’t care if they’re licensed legal firearms. I’ll train our officers that there is a concealed carry law, but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that. I’m telling you right up front.”

We’re the Only Ones Only Enough

As Missouri Republicans push a new version of the Second Amendment Preservation Act through the legislature, law enforcement officials in the state say lawmakers and supporters of the bill are ignoring their concerns…“I think it’s anti-law enforcement,” said Ellisville Police Chief Steve Lewis. “It’s bad legislation for law enforcement in that we believe it restricts law enforcement’s ability to assist federal task force partners with the seizure of weapons from bad people.” [More]

Back the Oathbreakers? Whatever, Porky.

Suck harder, George.

We’re the Only Ones Illegal Enough

“It literally turns dreamers into defenders,” said Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller [More]

In other words, illegal foreign nationals will be officially empowered to disarm citizens on American soil. All in the name of addressing crime committed by illegal foreign nationals.

Who needs blue helmets, right, Tim?

They’re Not the ‘Only Ones’

Civilians with permits stopped the attacks more frequently and faced a lower risk of being killed or injured than police. [More]

My guess would be the relevance of mentioning permits is that statistically, there may be more armed citizens with them in the types of areas where “active shootings” are more prevalent, especially since almost half the states don’t “allow” permitless carry. True, there’s no doubt an effect from the extra required training steps an average permit holder undergoes over permitless carriers, but I don’t think the data exists to quantify a difference. Many hardcore 2A activists who are practiced simply don’t believe in permits.

We’re the Only Ones Once Bitten Enough

“I told him he could take my gun and let me secure my dog,” said Phillips. “He didn’t listen. I had my hands up. I called them for help, and they came in hot, like I was the threat.” [More]

When you realize that when police show up they consider themselves the “Only Ones,” she was. So, of course he was cleared, bullet wond in her leg notwithstanding.

Officer safety, you see.

We’re the Only Ones Inflammatory Enough

Former LAPD officer pleads guilty to murder in DUI crash that killed family of 3 [More]

You know, the one who’d just posted a “Don’t Drink and Drive” video before his actions burned these people to death…

And you tell me how, initially, the official story was that there were “insufficient grounds to file charges.”

2017 to now… Draw your own conclusion.

We’re the Only Ones Provocative Enough?

Kent, who is a former Green Beret, stated in no uncertain terms that Trump’s intelligence community is actively investigating the FBI’s possible role in orchestrating the chaos on January 6th. [More]

“No uncertain terms” and “possible” kind of cancel each other out.

Enough hyperbole. If there evidence is there, find it and use it in a court of law.

We’re the Only Ones Helping Ourselves Enough

Former Walker County Sheriff’s lieutenant pleads guilty to theft… Bradley admitted to pocketing funds between 2018 and 2022 and must repay over $70,000 to Walker County.[More]

What, no charges against a criminally negligent/malfeasant sheriff whose incompetence and/or deliberate indifference let her get away with it for years…?

Care to add your congratulations…? 2018…? Looks like she didn’t waste any time figuring out the vulnerabilities and getting started…

I don’t suppose standardized sign-off procedures and audits have been put in place, not just in Walker County but throughout the state…?

We’re the Only Ones Visionary Enough

Officers opened fire within about 12 seconds of getting out of their patrol cars and made no apparent effort to de-escalate the situation. “Everybody was trying to tell the police, no, no,” Vazquez said. “Those four officers didn’t care. They didn’t ask what was happening, what was the situation.”“How’s he going to jump the fence when he can barely walk?” she said. [More]

Who called 911? A neighbor wouldn’t know of his condition?

Shot nine times. Good job with that “vision” there, chief.

No other choice? Really?

Especially we know your guys have used less than lethal options before in more threatening situations?

Visionary “gun violence” sculpture, there, Pocatello!

We’re the Only Ones Unsuspended Enough

A Miami Beach officer has not been suspended for her part in a friendly-fire shooting on the Venetian Causeway over the weekend, police told the Miami Herald…Shenaqua Stringer, who’s been with the department for eight years and two months, was identified as the cop who shot fellow officer Fabio Bolanos… [More]

None dare call it DEI…

We’re the Only Ones Defamed Enough

Katie Blackwell is assistant chief of operations for the Minneapolis Police Department. She briefly appeared in the film The Fall of Minneapolis (produced by Liz Collin). Based on her appearance in the film and in the related book by Liz, Blackwell brought an ill-advised defamation lawsuit against Liz and Alpha News (I’m a member of the board). [More]

The knee on the neck isn’t SOP? ATF’s been casually using it for years…
