Did he even know the girl?

Off-duty Detroit police officer who was ‘asking for suicide by cop’ shoots 2 fellow officers [More]
Sad, but I’m more concerned that they turn such as these loose among the general public, and find it hard to believe no one knew something was off.
The buyback was held at the Church of Love Faith Center on Exchange Street in Rochester, with over a hundred people waiting in line to surrender their firearms. It was organized as a way for community members to safely discard of their guns, with no questions asked. [More]
Like “Is it yours?”
The key word is “surrender.”
Can you imagine being “Leadership Award” winner Lieutenant Michael Ciulla and acting like this is anything more than an “ineffective” propaganda event?

Give Antifa-type DEI hires a badge and a gun … what could go wrong?
A forklift stolen from a Wendy’s construction site was used to steal the ATM from a Fifth Third Bank, the North Canton Police Department confirmed. NCPD said they got a call from Fifth Third Bank Security on the theft at 4:03 a.m. on Oct. 15. [More]
They had to call? It didn’t set off an alarm?
Because Google Maps shows a straight shot from the station to the bank that would have taken two minutes that time of night.
Then again, does anyone really want the Canton Police coming by?
What happened to Bryan Malinowski is not an isolated incident. It is part of a growing pattern of KGB-style behavior by U.S. federal law enforcement agencies. Let me mention briefly just a few other cases. [More]
It’s not fair to judge them until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in their jackboots.
It does kind of answer the question “What do you need a weapon of war for?”

So is the “law enforcer” breaking the law?
Shall we see if this stays up?

Appeals Court rules state must return $225K seized from California man during Brandon traffic stop [More]
Will he be compensated for the time and money he has spent fighting this?
And what will it personally cost the government thieves?
Here’s the way the JBTs describe it:
Asset forfeiture is a powerful tool used by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, against criminals and criminal organizations to deprive them of their ill-gotten gains through seizure of these assets.
“Criminals.” That sure implies they’ve been tried, found guilty, and sentenced, doesn’t it?
Someone with a better historical understanding help me out here: I found, on the Hawaii Criminal Justice Division’s page of all places, the claim that “The first statute authorizing civil forfeiture was enacted by Congress in 1789 as a sanction for the use of ships in customs violations. (Act of July 31, 1789, Sections 12, 36; 1 Stat. 39, 47.)”
If anybody has time to dig into this right now, does it say anything about them being tried and convicted first? I’m wondering if a Bruen style “text, history,. and tradition at the time of ratification” argument could be made.

Angry cyclist who screamed at driver that he has ‘more rights’ fined after calling cops – The cyclist later admitted he had lost his temper and said the driver was ‘the subject of my wrath’ [More]
In Phoenix, Arizona, cops were called by a Circle K gas station in reference to a white man they wanted trespassed from their store. When they arrived, the white man pointed across the street to a black man, claiming that the man was the actual culprit. Just taking his word for it, Phoenix officers Ben Harris and Kyle Sue violently attacked the black man. His name is Tyron McAlpin. He’s completely deaf and has cerebral palsy. [More]
Well, if he didn’t want to be arrested he shouldn’t have broken the cops hand with his mouth.

Mitchell, 33, was kept in what was “essentially a cement box” that had no sink, toilet or running water, often lying naked on the bare ground of his cold cell with no blanket or mat for two weeks, according to prosecutors. He froze to death on Jan. 26, 2023 after visibly deteriorating in front of officers, who are accused of denying him food, water and medical care, a lawsuit filed over his death says. [More]
Kind of gives a whole new meaning to “Back the blue”…

Off-duty Atlanta police officer shot, killed while breaking into Douglas County home, deputies say [More]
So, he had mental health/narcotics issues and no one noticed, and they still unleashed him on the public?
On the plus side, they can now distance themselves by calling him a “former officer.”

Four officers who responded to the Capitol attack have since died by suicide. [More]
Out of 140 “injured”? How seriously? Does that include the ones gassed by their own incompetent deployment? So, basically 3% couldn’t handle it? What did they think could happen on the job? Does that sound normal? Should we be giving these people guns?
Yet none of the 1, 265 protestors, including all the citizens who have been incarcerated and had their lives destroyed and are facing years in prison have felt so inclined?
Why does this feel like a total Democrat propaganda piece timed to sway gullible voters?
Oh, because it is?
