Notes from the Resistance
A former Linn County reserve deputy sheriff, who a prosecutor said was “committed to obtaining as much child pornography as he could” — over 160,000 images — was sentenced Friday to 12 years in federal prison. [More]
With the criminally negligent way corrections “Only Ones” run the prisons, I’m sure he’ll find plenty of fellow inmates lining up to Pack the Blue…

You’re Never in More Danger Than When the Police Are Around [More]
16 pages of anecdotal support for that and counting here, and I don’t have time to count them on the legacy blog…
The federal indictment alleges that between Jan. 1 and Aug. 10, 2022, Skaggs persuaded three minors into engaging in a commercial sex act, solicited a visual depiction of a child engaging in sexually-explicit conduct, and attempted to coerce a minor to engage in sex acts. Prosecutors claim Skaggs met the victims through his work as a police officer, and that he committed the sex acts while on duty or in uniform. [More]
That’s a lot of Happy Meals…

A person was detained during a federal training exercise at a Boston hotel late Tuesday when participants went to the wrong room, the FBI said. The person who was detained was an airline pilot staying at the hotel, sources told the NBC10 Boston Investigators. They said the pilot was handcuffed and interrogated. [More]
If you don’t teach them how to play CYA on wrong house raids now, how do you expect them to do it right in the field?

However, the prosecutor said the shooting was not justified because Colie shot someone who was unarmed inside a mall. The judge denied the bond request and believed Colie was a danger to the public.
And the harasser got within six inches? I may have reacted physically, too, and we know what a well-placed fist can do.
I don’t think it’s out of line to wonder what the prosecutor and judge would have done had this moron’s shooter been an “Only One.”

Ohio’s new distracted driving law goes into effect on Tuesday, April 4. The law makes it a primary traffic offense for all drivers to use a phone or other device while a vehicle is moving, and if caught, it could come with a $150 fine and two points on your license. [More]
If you’re from or drive through Ohio and are armed, you’ll probably want to minimize excuses for the cops to pull you over. Some of them have a tendency to not exactly empathize with the decision…

Photos from the scene shared on social media showed a large law enforcement presence outside a Dick’s Sporting Goods store. [More]
And you know what Dick’s — with its management decision on what not to sell — couldn’t do for cops that B&B Sales could do a quarter century ago in the North Hollywood shootout?
Section 6 – Agreement to Restrictions and to Hold Harmless I accept and assume all responsibility and liability for, injury to, or death of any person, or damage to any property which may result through an act or omission of either the licensee or the agency that issued the license. In the event any claim, suit or action is brought against the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees, by reason of, or in connection with any such act or omission, the licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees from such claim, suit, or action. [More]
That’s one way to scare people off from applying.
All to say, the Supreme Court’s original justification for qualified
immunity—that Congress wouldn’t have abrogated common-law
immunities absent explicit language—is faulty because the 1871 Civil Rights Act expressly included such language. Those sixteen lost words, by presumably encompassing state common-law principles, undermine the doctrine’s long professed foundation and underscore that what the 1871 Congress meant for state actors who violate Americans’ federal rights is not immunity, but liability—indeed, liability notwithstanding any state law to the contrary. [More]
So the whole scam is exactly that, and it’s within the power of the Supreme Court to end it…?

It also brings up fair questions about just how impartial any investigation can be without full disclosure of relationships between all parties involved in Klopefer’s shooting and subsequent actions. [More]
What assurances do we have that all personal and professional relationships have been disclosed and will not affect the outcome of the investigation?
Sheriff Fuson added that his daughter being investigated by the TBI was “not the sole reason for removing the mugshots” from the police department’s website. [More]
Just the main one.

The executive director of the San Jose Police Officer’s Association was charged with distributing opioids, according to federal officials. The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday said the U.S. Attorney’s Office has charged a civilian, Joanne Segovia, 64, with ordering thousands of opioid and other pills to her home between October 2015 and January of this year.

I’d say that makes it fair to ask if her dealings had anything to do with the restraining order she got placed on a man a few years back.

On Wednesday, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department promised more officers inside and outside Busch Stadium on Thursday to ensure everyone is safe. [More]

Seven California Highway Patrol officers and a nurse have been charged with involuntary manslaughter nearly three years after the in-custody death of a man who was pulled over for a traffic stop in Los Angeles County and repeatedly said “I can’t breathe” before losing consciousness. [More]
You’ll “Back the Blue” if we have to turn you that way!
Wisconsin Assembly Passes Bill Allowing DACA Illegals in Law Enforcement [More]
And if it passes, they’ll be empowered to enforce citizen disarmament edicts and confiscate guns.
Who needs to import blue helmets when we have a ready foreign standing army reserve embedded throughout the Republic?
If you resist the new “Hessians” disarming you, will that make YOU an insurrectionist? I wonder what the founding generation would have done…
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.
