We’re the Only Ones Untimely Enough

The Chicago police officer who fatally shot his partner Krystal Rivera during a June 2025 foot pursuit waited approximately two minutes before responding to her as she lay dying…  Rivera’s family has sued both him and the Chicago Police Department, alleging the shooting came after Rivera broke off a romantic relationship with him.

Reminds me of a poster I once saw…

We’re the Only Ones Transubstantiating Enough

Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen said the sheriff’s office fired a deputy after his county-issued AR-15 was used in a New Year’s Day killing. [More]

So, at what point did it magically morph from a “patrol rifle” to a weapon of war only suitable for killing as many people in as short a time as possible?

Perhaps an experiment with a high-speed camera could shed some light…?

Not Just Anyone

They Finally Said It Out Loud… And It’s Worse Than Anyone Thought [Watch]

Not me. I’ve been beating the “they want to disarm us” drum for years– and documenting every claim I make with the words of the infringers.

As for ultimately wanting to disarm cops, I wrote this back in 2000:

“I want an absolute ban on the manufacture, sale possession and use of handguns and automatic weapons in this country, with long prison sentences for violations,” Sallie commands. “The police need guns – at least until we get rid of the hundreds of millions of guns floating around,” Sallie lets slip.

Of course, then they wouldn’t be the “Only Ones,” would they?

When Seconds Count

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.

We’re the Only Ones Pyrotechnic Enough

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.

I Need to Start a Pool

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.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

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.

We’re the Only Ones Promotional Enough

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.

We’re the Only Ones Tyrannizing Enough

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.
