We’re the Only Ones Goony Enough

Narcotics detectives and patrol officers, some who called themselves the Goon Squad, barged into homes in the middle of the night, accusing people inside of dealing drugs. Then they handcuffed or held them at gunpoint and tortured them into confessing or providing information, according to dozens of people who say they endured or witnessed the assaults. [More]

I thought “we” sent terrorists to Gitmo…?

And the sheriff’s excuse is he’s oblivious?

Looks like Facebook comments are causing them to deactivate content.

We’re the Only Ones Despoiling Enough

Authorities allege that a former suburban St. Louis police officer who is charged with sexually assaulting several arrestees also covertly took photos of people in public bathrooms. [More]

But he just did it to break the color barrier:

“I think 90.95% of our police department was white, never saw a Black officer,” he said.

Aside from the chief…?

We’re the Only Ones Unidentified Enough

Meanwhile, local TV channel KLAS 8 reported that Las Vegas Metropolitan Police disclosed they had detained a former member of their own ranks after the shooting. The suspect’s name, and the events that precipitated the killing, are not yet public. [More]

Yet this happened several days before that report, so the question becomes “Why the hell not?”

It’s like SOP for Las Vegas LE, who know who butters their bread, and controversey is bad for business.

We’re the Only Ones Unbelievable Enough

The family of a man who was shot and killed by police while under an active court order for involuntary mental health treatment has sued the systems and individuals they believe were responsible for their son’s death. [More]

It doesn’t matter what the family believes. The police WERE responsible for their son’s death.

What a cluster from the word “Go.”

Comment Update from Mack H

David, I Wanted to discuss this a little bit further. The video has a segment on the family that does not show up in the article, so perhaps you missed it. Be sure and watch the video, starting around four minutes. The family says the officer shot their son six times. Does that seem right to you? Also, the CPD has a policy that all on duty officers have their body cameras active when Interacting with any person. So there has to be video of the officer shooting Byers with the hatchet. But the CPD refuses to release the video. CPD says “Ongoing investigation” – I say CYA.

We’re the Only Ones Instigating Enough

Video evidence recently released by House speaker Mike Johnson, combined with many videos taken by participants during the January 6, 2021 demonstrations on Capitol Hill, now suggest strongly that the violence was instigated by the DC police, not the January 6th demonstrators, who until then had been peaceful. [More]

Now just hold the damn phone there a second… whatever happened to take your beating and like it?

We’re the Only Ones Cowardly Enough

An NYPD officer caught on video standing by and watching as a lieutenant was ruthlessly beaten on a subway car by two men in the Bronx was put on desk duty and had his gun taken away, officials said. [More]

What about repercussions when they let worse happen to “civilians”? Anything ever happen to Terrence Howell, who took credit for a takedown he hid from while a citizen with the fighting skills to ultimately prevail was being stabbed?

With the Coward of Broward and Uvalde, and with citizens being arrested tor getting involved to protect others, who in their right mind would Back the Yellow?

Bleaters, Traitors, Oath-Breakers, and Tools for Tyranny

The bills prohibit anyone convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence offense from owning a firearm or ammunition for 8 years following the payment of all related fines and completion of incarceration or probation conditions. [More]

But we can otherwise trust him without a custodian because we all know prohibited persons won’t be able to get guns, right?

The other oft-overlooked point: Exaggerated or outright false vengeance charges can be made and people who are overwhelmed can be pressured into a misdemeanor plea to get the threat of more and more severe charges off their backs — especially if they’re of limited means and don’t understand their rights and where they can go for help.

If the GOP doesn’t blow ’24 and the court stays the same, expect SCOTUS to rule IAW Bruen. How much injustice will be done in the meantime, and how many won’t be able to afford to challenge the unlimited tax plunder resources of the state?
