Notes from the Resistance
Lester shot Yarl twice — once in the head and once in arm — after the teen mistakenly arrived on his doorstep to pick up his younger brothers who were actually waiting for him at a home about a block away. The charges carry 10 to 30 years behind bars, or life in prison, prosecutors said. [More]
Assuming the story unfolds as expected, and not to offer any excuses for the inexcusable, but what about similar treatment for these guys…?

I’d say it’s about time the anti-gun Democrats did something I agree with, but I’m fearing the devil will be in the details and this will open the door to all kinds of leftist chaos and wealth transfers from the productive…

I did my AmmoLand write-up before this was available. It looks like they were already drawn down on the door even though they knew by then they were at the wrong place. The reaction was instant.
No wonder the cops in the Kloepfer shooting want theirs kept under wraps.

“Professional courtesy,” right?
If they rob your bodega livelihood, God help you if you chase after “teens” armed, which you’re not allowed to do. But if you’re a retired “Only One,” God help them if they accidentally hit your camera with a basketball.

What they call it won’t mask the fact that it’s an expensive boondoggle for Democrat cities that want to look like they’re “doing something.”
Maybe along with the “rebranding” they need a new spokesman:

The Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office said 27-year-old August P. Gildehaus has been charged with first-degree sodomy, sexual exploitation of a minor, four counts of second-degree statutory sodomy, and three counts of second-degree statutory rape. [More]
How would “identifying the gender or other characteristics of the victim” “protect the individual’s identity”? Seems more like they don’t want anyone connecting dots.

That leaves open the question of how police got the address wrong in the first place. What checklist procedures are in place to preclude an armed response and the assumptions that go with one until a positive identification has been established? Were those procedures followed? [More]
You don’t need to look very far to find plenty of headlines showing outrageously lethal raids like this happening again and again and again.
Minnesota argues it is not liable for police dog attack – Sovereign immunity in the case of a car dealership employee bitten by a K-9 may hinge on the question of whether the state can be “the owner” of a dog under Minnesota’s dog-bite statute. [More]
You can tell a lot about character from people who won’t clean up after their dogs.

Milwaukee police said they were so afraid of their department-issued handguns randomly firing, they wouldn’t bring them home near their family [More]
I’m not a hardware guy– I do rights. I don’t know enough about it to know if this is just a ploy to put on public pressure or if there really is a design/manufacturing flaw. Like I said back when, if the allegations are true, then it’s not protected. Which is as it should be.
Unless they are cleared by a Commission of Peace Officer Standards, or POST, investigation or succeed in an appeal, the officers accused of serious misconduct including sexual misconduct, fraud, excessive force and abuse on duty will not be able to work as sworn officers for any California police agency. This is an additional punishment to whatever actions prosecutors or their own departments take against them. [More]
What if it was required for gang initiation?
Just a few bad apples, right?
That’s why we issue them “patrol rifles” to take away your “weapons of war.”
But whether the top cops are innocent or guilty of charges is beside the real point gun owners should be concerned with. The militarization of police is what opens the door to exclusivity and enables corruption. And you’d better believe the officials and the deputies/officers they command would arrest any of us if they found us non-compliant with a “gun law.” The “Only Ones” hypocrisy reeks. [More]
Nice work if you can get it. The problem is, without a badge, you can’t, and therein lies the crux of police as “Only Ones.”
Harroz said although the investigation will continue, it is believed that the calls came from outside the United States. [More]
Yeah, but our highly trained “Only Ones” know better than to just open fire based on a caller’s say-so, don’t they?

The federal indictment alleges that between Jan. 1 and Aug. 10, 2022, Skaggs persuaded three minors into engaging in a commercial sex act, solicited a visual depiction of a child engaging in sexually-explicit conduct, and attempted to coerce a minor to engage in sex acts. Prosecutors claim Skaggs met the victims through his work as a police officer, and that he committed the sex acts while on duty or in uniform. [More]
That’s a lot of Happy Meals…

A person was detained during a federal training exercise at a Boston hotel late Tuesday when participants went to the wrong room, the FBI said. The person who was detained was an airline pilot staying at the hotel, sources told the NBC10 Boston Investigators. They said the pilot was handcuffed and interrogated. [More]

However, the prosecutor said the shooting was not justified because Colie shot someone who was unarmed inside a mall. The judge denied the bond request and believed Colie was a danger to the public.
And the harasser got within six inches? I may have reacted physically, too, and we know what a well-placed fist can do.
I don’t think it’s out of line to wonder what the prosecutor and judge would have done had this moron’s shooter been an “Only One.”
