Notes from the Resistance
They said Denning, since July 2021, communicated with the informant, connecting the person with drug dealers in California to buy cocaine and methamphetamine. That would continue for 15 months, according to court papers. [More]
If convicted, #16 seems appropriate…

A former Tennessee cop who was recently fired over a sex scandal in which she admitted to having sex with several of her work colleagues is reportedly being offered $10,000 to perform at a Nashville strip club. [More]
Based on photos I’ve seen, it seems to me more than one patron would be yelling “Put it on!”
In seriousness, I think they’re exploiting a troubled person who needs help. Not cool.

The thought of a foreigner doing it seems intolerable. What could go wrong with our cities employing what amounts to latter-day Hessian mercenaries, with incentives to follow orders above all else, especially since rocking the boat or blowing the whistle could jeopardize more than their jobs, but also their eligibility to remain in this country?

Back the blue…helmets?
The police chief in the California city where 20 people were shot — 11 fatally — at a ballroom dance hall defended his decision not to warn the public for hours that a killer was on the loose, saying Wednesday he didn’t have enough information to effectively alert residents. [More]
“There’s a tiger on the loose, chief!”

“Real reporters” gradually discover what we’ve been talking about for days.
Even the local ABC 15 News grudgingly admits “The surveillance footage released by Kloepfer appears to show a conflicting account of the event.” and contains one other bit of happy news:
The State Bureau of Investigations has opened an investigation into the shooting.
Sorry– still nothing on CNN or any of the major papers.
Surprised?
Just let’s not forget where credit is due.
Buehler claims they called the police, but they never showed up. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department confirmed a call was made, but no report was filed. They said they would investigate it further. [More]
Guy’s lucky he didn’t get killed…
The Twitter account Scenes from the Atlanta Forest calls for a “Night of Rage” on Friday to enact “reciprocal violence to be done to the police and their allies,” according to a post. [More]
Jeez, those charged with inciting the J6 protestors didn’t say anything near this violent, and look what the government’s doing to them.

Anything you whoop can and will be held against you? Sounds more like they were given a pass, but don’t be surprised if bodycams really were turned on to share the amusement.
If that’s how seriously they take his wedding vows, imagine how they revere their oaths!

Is this the way we want the police to act? Does this make you less likely to “back the blue” and more likely to consider law enforcement the violence arm of those who would rule? [More]
Watch the video and decide for yourself.
When the deputy got out, police claim the suspects tried to grab his weapon, which was secured in his holster. After a brief struggle, the two ended up with the deputy’s gun and cellphone. The suspects then drove off in the deputy’s car, a 2011 Chevy Cruz. [More]
They can’t even protect themselves yet we’re supposed to believe they can protect us?

And the “detention officers’ didn’t notice for three hours…
You’ve gotta wonder what kind of incompetent and lazy morons the taxpayers are subsidizing.
With the “profession’s” track record, it’s not out of line to wonder if something more was in play.

“The community is very supportive and I am grateful they took the time to educate themselves on the process of how obtaining these firearms takes place,” Wendt told The Daily Beast in a Tuesday text message, confirming the reinstatement and the stipulation. “I wish journalists would do the same and realize this is an attack on the 2nd amendment and not just about me.” [More]
I’ll bite. If it’s about the Second Amendment, could I do it?

Remember the LaVergne PD pass-around?
Get to it before it disappears: People have gone into the department’s Google Maps address and added photos of trains.

A Philadelphia woman visited a police station to find out why she appeared to have a police record despite having done nothing wrong — only to be arrested and put behind bars for nearly a week in a case of mistaken identity… Hudson, who is Black, would soon learn that she had been mistaken for a suspect with the same name. [More]
There’s no better social justice equity than Democrat city social justice equity!
And if she’d resisted and been crippled or killed, it would have gotten a “department protocol” pass along with qualified immunity.

A Texas police officer was fired from the San Antonio police department after two incidents involving feces. In one incident, officer Matthew Luckhurst fed a homeless man a sandwich with feces in it. He was later hired by the Floresville department but has been fired after an outpouring of anger. [More]
And remember: Back the Brown!

The $8 million settlement between Mesa and Laney Sweet for the death of her husband has finally been funded, according to Sweet’s attorney. The settlement was originally reached back in November 2022, nearly seven years after former Mesa police Officer Philip “Mitch” Brailsford killed Daniel Shaver, shooting him five times in a hotel hallway in 2016. [More]
Pretty sweet, when the payment for your murder comes from your victim pool.
I guess complaining about this makes me an idiot.
Still, this raises a question for me:
In 2018, it was confirmed by the Mesa Police Department that the U.S. Department of Justice had opened a civil rights investigation into Brailsford, subpoenaing all documentation pertaining to the shooting. At this time, no information surrounding the investigation has been released, nor has the city provided an update into the matter.
Do you think that would be the case if Shaver had not been… do I dare say it?
