Notes from the Resistance
“The head of the Albany County Sheriff’s Office business office was charged with grand larceny and five counts of forgery after he allegedly siphoned more than $68,000 from the department’s federal forfeiture funds account and forged Sheriff Craig Apple’s name to cover it up,” Albany’s Times-Union reported last week. “Apple said he believes Cox was using the money to pay off gambling debts.” [More]
He just didn’t know when to fold ’em, when to walk away, and when to run.

Police say they’re having trouble identifying suspects who target stores because they’re wearing masks. They are now urging store owners to be proactive in the crime fighting effort. “We are asking the businesses to make this a condition of entry, that people when they come in, they show their face, they should identify themselves,” NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said. [More]
So do we listen to Dr. Fauci or to NYPD “Only Ones”?
Bronx bodega owner Francisco Marte is no stranger to crime. “I’ve been myself, shot three times,” he said. But he says this latest guidance from the NYPD puts business owners in a bad spot. “We don’t have a weapon to defend ourselves,” Marte said.
I think I see a solution, Francisco.
Good thing the brave property liberators exercising their right to steal by beating the old woman within an inch of her life weren’t acting on Asian hate since disadvantaged victims of systemic racism can’t be racist. I can’t begin to tell you how many of my friends and family flaunt their discriminatory power and white privilege by driving late-model Mercedes…

Pinellas County, Florida Sheriff Bob Gualtieri in testifying for SB 150 * stated, “I’m a staunch opponent of open carry. We don’t need open carry in Florida. I don’t think that it serves a good purpose for Florida.” [More]
Because then they’d be able to do what WE do…?
That’s a pretty big “but” you’ve got there, sheriff…

Getting away with abuse encourages more and worse, emboldening the psychopaths in their ranks, and making them even more dangerous.

St. Louis leaders and police work to address youth gun violence… The St. Louis safety committee worked with the city police on Tuesday to spread awareness about gun safety. [More]
“Youth violence” or “gun safety”? Which is it?
And what track record shows any of these dolts are capable of doing more than removing their sn0uts out of the trough long enough to regurgitate hackneyed talking points for an equally ignorant media that confirm their utter incompetence?

“I don’t want that at home, I don’t even know how to shoot,” said the Houston, Texas, retiree before handing them over to the authorities… “There is really no other safe way than this to part with it,” said the 60-year-old… “We have to get rid of them,” the 69-year-old man said, handing over seven weapons. [More]
It really is true. There’s no fool like an old fool.

Col. James Cockrell, commissioner of the Alaska Department of Public Safety, said he has personally apologized to Colony High Principal Mary Fulp after troopers took her in for a mental health evaluation without her consent last Wednesday evening while the incident was livestreamed on her Facebook page. Cockrell said troopers believed there was a court order requiring them to do so, but the Alaska Court System has since confirmed that no such order was ever issued. [More]
Funny things can happen when “Only Ones” are acting on assumptions…

Police bodycam footage shows he was shot once in the abdomen, less than a second after an officer opened his bedroom door. Lewis appeared to be holding a vape pen, but no weapon … “This police officer fired his weapon less than a second after the door opened. That is about as reckless as a police officer can get,” Rex Elliott, the family’s attorney, said. [More]
Cherokee Indian Police SWAT says “Hold our beer.”
Authorities said Bryant lived near the area where Morales was reported missing and alleged that he “dumped her naked body in the woods,” WAGA and WXIA reported, citing a warrant application. The warrant also said the ex-officer is suspected of rape, murder and other felonies, though he hasn’t been charged with those crimes, WXIA reported. [More]
Yep. He definitely should be the “only one” armed, especially in school zones!

Lawyers are set to discuss the federal case against a former Kentucky police officer who fired blindly into Breonna Taylor’s apartment on the night of the deadly raid that left her dead… Hankison was indicted by the U.S. Justice Department last year along with three other officers, one of whom has pleaded guilty to helping falsify the warrant used to enter Taylor’s apartment… [More]
Then we have the ones who want to defund them are also the ones who want them to be the “Only Ones”…
A little help here, Norman?

Ohioans in danger may soon be able to text 911 [More]
I guess, but the same problems of police being minutes away when seconds count and having no duty to protect will still apply. Plus, by the time most victims enter a PIN, pull up the text app and try to type out an intelligible message with shaking thumbs, the danger may be passed — for the attacker, who may be happy for the free phone.
Besides, I never did much subscribe to the “Only Ones” being the only ones, and plan on having my hands full.
Maybe if co-sponsor State Rep. Kent Smith spent less time abetting the undermining of his constituents’ rights and more time protecting and advancing them, the need for such calls would fall dramatically.

What these actions don’t mitigate or excuse is the police opening fire on him immediately after he emerged unarmed from his trailer with his hands raised and his wife directly behind him. [More]
So will the State Bureau of Investigation and the DA aggressively pursue this, and if not, why not?

Capser alleges that police knew the exact whereabouts of the stolen BMW Brownlee was driving near Soldier Field and began following him just an hour before he shot Dakotah. Because of a non-pursuit policy in place, responding officers had to call off their pursuit of Brownlee and file an eluding report, lawyers say. [More]
Because if you disproportionately stop criminals they won’t be able to disproportionately amass victims, right?

This is a top-notch legal analysis based on information available at the time.
I have a follow-up piece I hope to see come out later today that will address many of the assumptions and questions raised (and leave many more unanswered).
