Notes from the Resistance
What would happen if an ordinary citizen had opened fire on car thieves? What is the likelihood he would not already have been arrested? Should the agent(s) be treated any differently? [More]

This week, Sarah Fields, a journalist with The Publica Now, revealed on social media that FBI agents came to her home on October 17 unannounced. She claimed the agency demanded that she talk with them about her coverage of an alleged Hamas training camp on the US-Mexico border. In her posts, Fields claims that the FBI was trying to get her to reveal her sources. [More]
That way, if she does their work for them they can get back to the headline-making business of raiding J6 suspects…
What do you want to bet they’re trying to keep a lid on a guy on the inside while they wait for a bigger headline-making event to explode in our faces?
And tangentially related, WTF, soulless GOP demons…?

Not the one who doesn’t get a Christmas stocking…
Hey, can I open fire on thieves trying to break into my car, too?
In the redacted body camera recording obtained by The Associated Press, the father asks if there’s anything the police can do. A female officer is heard replying that his 11-year-old could be charged with creating “child porn.” The parent protests that she is a child, a victim who was manipulated by an adult.“It doesn’t matter,” the officer said. “She’s still creating it.” [More]
Name the “officer.”

Video shows officer killing man after confrontation that started with a double-parked car – Prosecutors have charged a LaSalle police officer with second-degree murder after the officer fatally shot a man on his third day of training. [More]

…this technology could be used by the police as “an `electronic master key’ to `disable’ any `smart guns’ in the house,” and be used as a pretext to “ban the manufacture of any gun that ISN’T a `smart gun’.” [More]
Who would be against giving police the power to protect us from armed extremists?

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a challenge to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s effort to conduct warrantless searches and seizures from licensed firearms retailers in the county have filed a brief in response to objections by the defendants, in support of an application for summary relief.

Before confronting somebody, Sheriff Salazar said people must consider there could be some serious consequences, especially if that suspect is armed. [More]
Not “legal” advice, but that should be the assumption going in, along with establishing cover and a clear sight picture, including what’s beyond the target, before announcing your presence.
Considering the personal risks, the financial ramifications of shooting someone, and that cars are insured, I’d be inclined to go with setting off the alarm and calling the “Only Ones” from behind locked doors. While a part of me would want to resolve things the old-fashioned way, the legal system is stacked against going outside and using up to lethal force to protect mere property.
