To paraphrase Dean Wormer, evil and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

Of course he’s a totally unqualified incompetent, but who cares? So is she. This could be fun.

Join the chorus screaming she’s a racist and then make some popcorn.

We’re the Only Ones Robotic Enough

We sure have come a long way since DuBot.

They’re already doing Phase One here. With human followers shooting unarmed citizens who have their hands raised. And lying about it.

So: Will the deployers have qualified immunity? How about the manufacturers?

We’re the Only Ones Substandard Enough

Decatur, IL Police to recruits: “don’t worry if you’re not good with firearms, it’s ok, we’ll get you to pass at the bare minimum” [More]

Tell me again why they will then qualify for exemptions on gun bans aimed at We the People…

Speaking of recruited Illinois “Only Ones,” on my way to the memorial this past weekend, we had a connecting flight out of Midway in Chi-Town where I saw this sign.

And those who pay for it…?

ISP are the lumps that told women to defend themselves by vomiting, claiming an STD or using a rat tailed comb instead of a gun.

The issue isn’t so much “When someone puts on our uniform,” Sheriff Chronister, as what he wanted to do when he took it off…

We’re the Only Ones Tricky Enough

The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that police cannot trick suspects into waiving their right to remain silent and have an attorney present during questioning, a ruling the American Civil Liberties Union is applauding. [More]

They can’t trick you into committing a crime, either.

Realize that once you become their focus you’ll be dealing with professionally trained liars and (don’t) act accordingly.

Sad, I know, to those of us who wanted to believe in Reed and Malloy.

We’re the Only Ones Tyrannical Enough

SPECIAL REPORT: When Florida police act like they’re working in California – Travis E. Smith faces 15 years in a state prison and a $10,000 fine. [More]

Hey, don’t judge until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in “the officer’s” jackboots.

Besides, they think armed coercion is hilarious!
