Notes from the Resistance
“What? I am going into work my man, why are you trying to pull me over as I’m going into work?” Shaouni is seen asking. [More]
I know that excuse wouldn’t work for you and me, but whatever happened to professional courtesy?
[Via Remarks]
Why do they do it? Human weakness. Most have invested in their shabby careers. Most are eying pensions. They go along. They follow orders. And if you think that, given the order and the chance, they will not pull a trigger for the ruling class, well, I have a burnt patch of Texas dirt to sell you. Cheap. [More]
Now let’s all us good “conservatives” bemoan the weight of the badge…

Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison stepped down this week as the progressive-run city struggles with homicides, a drug crisis, and a troubling rise in violence involving teenagers. [More]

And a lot of other intriguing headlines over at Hawaii Free Press…
Law enforcement officials join ‘coal country’ in snubbing Republicans, backing Dem governor for re-election – More than 35 sheriffs and police chiefs endorsed Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear for a second term [More]
The short-term self-interested tools don’t realize that Democrats will give their politicians a pass on specific issues strictly as a matter of overall party power on the rest of the agenda.
Their betrayal will come soon enough. Meanwhile, they’re betraying the rest of their countrymen.

Police claim Officer Marcellis Blackwell arrested a 37-year-old man that day, placed handcuffs on him, and drove him to a secluded part of the campus. Blackwell then put his hands down the victim’s pants without their consent and while he was still handcuffed. [More]

A California man who was caught on video pummeling a sheriff’s deputy and shooting at her with her own gun in 2019 was found not guilty of attempted murder and other charges by a jury, with the victim saying the decision sets a bad precedent for law enforcement. [More]

In a major change to the way Hollywood movies and TV series are made, live ammunition will be banned from production sets under a new agreement reached by the Directors Guild of America and studios. [More]
That wasn’t already a rule?
How will they catch it if someone deliberately doesn’t comply and/or is carrying concealed?
Does it include security? And will there be an “Only Ones” exception if they have to show up again?

School safety summit taking place today in Edwardsville, Illinois [More]
Will you have to get past police guards to attend?
Let me guess: Arming school staff won’t be on the agenda.

Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Deputies frisked, interrogated wrong veteran about suicide threat – Deputies question Riverview veteran and wife for 30 minutes before the VA says they gave cops the wrong address… The visit grew tense after the second deputy asked about the location of the permit. He told Williams he should not have stepped out of his home without the permit on him. [More]
What’s with “the deputy”?
We know the innocent homeowner’s name. We know his wife’s name.
Why does the jackbooted, incompetent, truffle-rooting trough feeder get a pass?

Rasbach said the female police officer insisted that the performance is considered a demonstration, and that demonstrations in the U.S. Capitol are banned. She later said some people were offended, though Rasbach doubted her claim. He said the officer could not have heard from people who claimed to be offended “because her time was consumed with us.” [More]
What’s her name? And what’s the difference?

“As a police officer, there comes a time when you must take the political issues out of your head when you are making decisions,” Elbers wrote in his decision. He said Brisco must “obey the policies, procedures and directives of the police service which is paying your salary.” [More]

They needed a whole “team” to figure that out…?
Good rule of thumb: When David Chipman pushes sh!+, it’s probably bull sh!+.
Even with “rebranding.”
