Not having professional training, an amateur like me always locks his car.
I wonder what they mean by “other forms of issued equipment,” because the stuff they list just doesn’t add up. Of course, I also wonder why they don’t tell us the moron’s name along with who lives at the apartment complex and what he was doing there.

A Homeland Security agent and his friend were accidentally shot at a wine tasting in Florida when his gun fell to the ground, according to police. [More]
I need to up my training. Not being a professional, my wife and I have been going to a wine-tasting fundraiser for a group we support for many years now, and I haven’t even come close to shooting myself, let alone her along with me.
One question though: Is that what I think it is?
Anybody know if off-duty “Only Ones” are exempt?

A Louisiana man is fighting in court for the First Amendment right to express satire after he made a joke about COVID-19, and was arrested by a sheriff’s armed SWAT team that confronted him with guns drawn. [More]
Talk about deprivation of rights under color of authority…
The only thing they’re laughing about is their qualified immunity.

A Southern California police officer was arrested for firing his gun into the air several times in a tavern’s parking lot after drinking with his friends, authorities said. [More]

Idaho Springs police have agreed to a multi-million dollar settlement with a 75-year-old man who was wrongfully tasered by police in May of 2021… Clark was unexpectedly and wrongfully shot with a taser on May 30, 2021, by Idaho Springs Police Officer Nicholas Hanning. The taser deployment caused a chain reaction of medical issues with Clark including a heart attack, stroke and several seizures. [More]
So the already overburdened taxpayers will end up footing the bill for “former officer” Nicholas Hanning’s cowardly brutality. And who’s the lying **** neighbor?

If he treated his child like this, what would he not do to you if angered?
I predict a hot reception in the cooler.

A central issue in Sheriff Smith’s trial is whether she provided concealed carry weapon permits in exchange for donations or other favors. Under questioning from San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Gabriel Markoff, Bechtel said he provided $750,000 to the Sheriff’s Advisory Board and arranged construction crews to make improvements to the Sheriff’s Department shooting range… Bechtel said he, his son, and two other relatives acquired concealed carry permits that were signed by Sheriff Smith.

At least we know from Harpreet Chada that Laurie’s Big Club wasn’t exclusively “white privileged,” but I’d still like to see someone look into other “underrepresentation.”
In answer to an anticipated question, this was a civil trial and one of her defenders says regardless, these are not felonies. And here I was looking forward to Laurie becoming a “prohibited person” if they end up bringing criminal, charges.

“The victim can be seen on police body-worn cameras telling the police that Mr. Muldrow probably saved his life,” the informational alert concluded. “Many other witnesses on the scene spoke up for Mr. Muldrow’s heroic actions. None of that mattered.” [More]

Bringing a rope to a gunfight? And does it work on dogs?
I guess I can see this as being a more humane way if you know you’re dealing with an unarmed person being a danger to himself and others, so I don’t want to completely badmouth the whole idea. I just can’t help recalling instances of drawing from the wrong holster…
And with the comparison, I can’t help recalling Woman Wonder…

Locals in Louisiana, Missouri plan to protest Wednesday, November 2, outside their city hall. Police Chief William Jones was arrested last month on several felony charges, including drug trafficking and tampering with evidence. [More]

Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith informed the Board of Supervisors in this one-line letter that she was leaving office effective Monday. [More]
Maybe if she goes quietly no one will ask any questions about “underrepresentation.”
Too bad. The “real reporters” could have had an “EXCLUSIVE” worth putting in all caps.

That’s pathetic when you can’t just say “11” and have to blow it up by one.
Nice of the moronic “Only Ones” functionary to admit “buybacks don’t work.”
Besides, “surrender” makes them sound so much more awe-inspiring. And it’s closer to what government has in mind anyway.
