Notes from the Resistance
Ohio’s new distracted driving law goes into effect on Tuesday, April 4. The law makes it a primary traffic offense for all drivers to use a phone or other device while a vehicle is moving, and if caught, it could come with a $150 fine and two points on your license. [More]
If you’re from or drive through Ohio and are armed, you’ll probably want to minimize excuses for the cops to pull you over. Some of them have a tendency to not exactly empathize with the decision…

Photos from the scene shared on social media showed a large law enforcement presence outside a Dick’s Sporting Goods store. [More]
And you know what Dick’s — with its management decision on what not to sell — couldn’t do for cops that B&B Sales could do a quarter century ago in the North Hollywood shootout?
Section 6 – Agreement to Restrictions and to Hold Harmless I accept and assume all responsibility and liability for, injury to, or death of any person, or damage to any property which may result through an act or omission of either the licensee or the agency that issued the license. In the event any claim, suit or action is brought against the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees, by reason of, or in connection with any such act or omission, the licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees from such claim, suit, or action. [More]
That’s one way to scare people off from applying.
All to say, the Supreme Court’s original justification for qualified
immunity—that Congress wouldn’t have abrogated common-law
immunities absent explicit language—is faulty because the 1871 Civil Rights Act expressly included such language. Those sixteen lost words, by presumably encompassing state common-law principles, undermine the doctrine’s long professed foundation and underscore that what the 1871 Congress meant for state actors who violate Americans’ federal rights is not immunity, but liability—indeed, liability notwithstanding any state law to the contrary. [More]
So the whole scam is exactly that, and it’s within the power of the Supreme Court to end it…?

It also brings up fair questions about just how impartial any investigation can be without full disclosure of relationships between all parties involved in Klopefer’s shooting and subsequent actions. [More]
What assurances do we have that all personal and professional relationships have been disclosed and will not affect the outcome of the investigation?
Sheriff Fuson added that his daughter being investigated by the TBI was “not the sole reason for removing the mugshots” from the police department’s website. [More]
Just the main one.

The executive director of the San Jose Police Officer’s Association was charged with distributing opioids, according to federal officials. The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday said the U.S. Attorney’s Office has charged a civilian, Joanne Segovia, 64, with ordering thousands of opioid and other pills to her home between October 2015 and January of this year. [Watch]
I’d say that makes it fair to ask if her dealings had anything to do with the restraining order she got placed on a man a few years back.

On Wednesday, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department promised more officers inside and outside Busch Stadium on Thursday to ensure everyone is safe. [More]

Seven California Highway Patrol officers and a nurse have been charged with involuntary manslaughter nearly three years after the in-custody death of a man who was pulled over for a traffic stop in Los Angeles County and repeatedly said “I can’t breathe” before losing consciousness. [More]

Who needs to import blue helmets when we have a ready foreign standing army reserve embedded throughout the Republic?
If you resist the new “Hessians” disarming you, will that make YOU an insurrectionist? I wonder what the founding generation would have done…
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.
Police took semiautomatic rifles, a shotgun and handguns from the Rangers and said they arrested two gang members on previous warrants. None of the Rangers were arrested, though police were frustrated residents hadn’t called them sooner. ″There is a fine line between self-defense and vigilantism,” a police spokesman said, according to the AP. [More]
If the Rangers had been aiming to misbehave, they’d have been the ones disarming the police.

The suspect who allegedly wounded a King County Sheriff’s deputy after opening fire while they were serving an eviction notice in Seattle on Monday has been identified as a transgender member of the Democratic Socialists of America. [More]
So a cop qualifies as “bourgeoisie“…?

Engel said that Malone was right-handed and as the officer smashed the victim’s vehicle window with the baton in his right hand, the firearm in his left hand discharged with a bullet striking Poulin. “There was no intention to pull the trigger,” Engel said. [More]
Is “the firearm… discharged” anything like “the gun went off“?
Funny… every time I’ve practiced weak hand shooting it hasn’t made me forget Cooper’s Rules. Then again, I’ve never had the professional training to assess a situation dangerous enough to draw a gun on a suspect with that hand, either.

Patrol rifle stolen from trooper’s cruiser overnight in Malden, Massachusetts State Police say [More]
Why is it when in the hands of the “Only Ones,” DSM propagandists acting as state enforcer cheerleaders rather than government watchdogs call them “patrol rifles, but when owned by citizens, as is their right recognized by the Second Amendment, they disparage them as “assault rifles,” and “weapons of war suitable only for killing as many people as quickly as possible”?

Seven members of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office who raided Joseph Foreman’s home last year are now suing him claiming, among other things, that he invaded their privacy. Four deputies, two sergeants and a detective are claiming Foreman (a.k.a. “Afroman”) took footage of their faces obtained during the raid and used it in music videos and social media posts without their consent… They’re also suing on civil grounds, saying Foreman’s use of their faces (i.e. personas) in the videos and social media posts resulted in their “emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation.” [More]
After they invaded his privacy.
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they should be humiliated, and often. And by someone who knows how. But they’re trying to hide from that:
Ladies and gentlemen, the hysterical musical stylings of Afroman!
Streisand effect, anyone…?

Shouts of “he has a gun, he has a gun” are then heard on the video. Also heard is someone shouting that the person with the gun is pointing it at people. The deputy then moves toward a man and orders him to “drop the gun,” while a second deputy appears to struggle with the man’s left hand. The video then shows the unidentified deputy firing several rounds at the nearby man. The wounded man is then seen collapsing by a pickup truck. [More]
I’m not sure what to make of this aside to note that having a gun in your hand and a cop nearby do not generally result in happy endings.

Now we can see it. It’s interesting to note the minority.
Here’s the family’s press conference. Per WarOnGuns Correspondent Mack H:
Several highlights: The family is Christian. None of the deputies [had] body cams. That’s a violation of Virginia law. Henrico County has refused to implement the Marcus Alert system. If they had, Ivo might still be alive.
