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.

We’re the Only Ones Corrupt Enough

He Used Drugs to Exploit His Victims – Now He’s Facing Decades in Prison – An Ohio jury found a law enforcement official guilty for using his former position to intimidate witnesses, steal department property, and corrupting confidential informants. [More]

Thank goodness we have men like him out there taking guns away from crimin… oh, wait…

We’re the Only Ones Misconducting Enough

There are currently 22 open misconduct complaints against the Minneapolis chief of police, who himself has criticized a “lack of accountability” when it comes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. [More]

That lump’s got as many stars on his collar as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

When Seconds Count

As details emerged, students voiced concerns about their safety and the university’s response, calling for faster and clearer communication. Many expressed frustration with how Northeastern handled the incidents, saying they turned to social media and peers to fill information gaps left by delayed and sparse official alerts.  [More]

Everything but realize what they’re going to have to be prepared and able to do if they hope to have a chance when its their turn in the barrel, and then demand the right to do it while disregarding anyone who orders them “No.”

Of course, it’s easier to just stick your head in the sand and believe Ruben.

We’re the Only Ones Lighting Up Enough

He rushed back to get his cell phone and was using his Glock’s flashlight to try to find it in the trunk of the SUV. When he tried to holster his gun, he shot himself — yes, right in the butt cheek. [More]

When I wondered how this could have happened, I wasn’t expecting a comedy routine. Lesson learned.

Only one question really remains: How come they’re deliberately not releasing his name?

We’re the Only Ones Mental Enough

A former Massachusetts police officer has been found not guilty of attempting to shoot a brother in blue after she testified she was trying to kill herself as officers arrived at her home to serve a restraining order filed by her ex-fiancé. [More]

More proof that only the police should have guns…

Hey, I wonder how many suicides disclaimers like the one at the start of this story and like they put at the beginning of TV shows and movies result in lives saved? About as many as tobacco product warnings?

We’re the Only Ones Tropical Enough

An off-duty police superintendent has been charged with murdering an American worker in the Bahamas, according to a report. [More]

Hmmm, convenient:

IF YOU’RE TRAVELING TO THE CARIBBEAN, KNOW THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO IMPORT OR EXPORT FIREARMS OR AMMUNITION TO OR FROM ANY CARICOM: CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY MEMBER STATES UNLESS YOU HAVE A FIREARM IMPORT LICENSE OR A FIREARM EXPORT LICENSE GRANTED BY THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY (SUCH AS THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE).
