Notes from the Resistance
Police took semiautomatic rifles, a shotgun and handguns from the Rangers and said they arrested two gang members on previous warrants. None of the Rangers were arrested, though police were frustrated residents hadn’t called them sooner. ″There is a fine line between self-defense and vigilantism,” a police spokesman said, according to the AP.

If the Rangers had been aiming to misbehave, they’d have been the ones disarming the police.

The suspect who allegedly wounded a King County Sheriff’s deputy after opening fire while they were serving an eviction notice in Seattle on Monday has been identified as a transgender member of the Democratic Socialists of America. [More]
So a cop qualifies as “bourgeoisie“…?

Engel said that Malone was right-handed and as the officer smashed the victim’s vehicle window with the baton in his right hand, the firearm in his left hand discharged with a bullet striking Poulin. “There was no intention to pull the trigger,” Engel said. [More]
Is “the firearm… discharged” anything like “the gun went off“?
Funny… every time I’ve practiced weak hand shooting it hasn’t made me forget Cooper’s Rules. Then again, I’ve never had the professional training to assess a situation dangerous enough to draw a gun on a suspect with that hand, either.

He also ought to get damages. Paid for by the criminals who stole from him under color of authority.
And maybe a commemorative Leatherman tool…
What an evil, un-American practice.

Patrol rifle stolen from trooper’s cruiser overnight in Malden, Massachusetts State Police say [More]
Why is it when in the hands of the “Only Ones,” DSM propagandists acting as state enforcer cheerleaders rather than government watchdogs call them “patrol rifles, but when owned by citizens, as is their right recognized by the Second Amendment, they disparage them as “assault rifles,” and “weapons of war suitable only for killing as many people as quickly as possible”?

Seven members of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office who raided Joseph Foreman’s home last year are now suing him claiming, among other things, that he invaded their privacy. Four deputies, two sergeants and a detective are claiming Foreman (a.k.a. “Afroman”) took footage of their faces obtained during the raid and used it in music videos and social media posts without their consent… They’re also suing on civil grounds, saying Foreman’s use of their faces (i.e. personas) in the videos and social media posts resulted in their “emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation.” [More]
After they invaded his privacy.
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they should be humiliated, and often. And by someone who knows how. But they’re trying to hide from that:
Ladies and gentlemen, the hysterical musical stylings of Afroman!
Streisand effect, anyone…?

Shouts of “he has a gun, he has a gun” are then heard on the video. Also heard is someone shouting that the person with the gun is pointing it at people. The deputy then moves toward a man and orders him to “drop the gun,” while a second deputy appears to struggle with the man’s left hand. The video then shows the unidentified deputy firing several rounds at the nearby man. The wounded man is then seen collapsing by a pickup truck. [More]
I’m not sure what to make of this aside to note that having a gun in your hand and a cop nearby do not generally result in happy endings.

Here’s the family’s press conference. Per WarOnGuns Correspondent Mack H:
Several highlights: The family is Christian. None of the deputies [had] body cams. That’s a violation of Virginia law. Henrico County has refused to implement the Marcus Alert system. If they had, Ivo might still be alive.
According to court documents, investigators with the Illinois State Police entered a Jack in the Box restaurant in Collinsville in April 2022 to question Ross on an unrelated matter. Ross, who had a gun hidden in his waistband, attempted to hide the firearm under the deep fryer at the restaurant. At the time, Ross was on parole in Missouri for a 2018 robbery conviction. [More]
So he was working an honest job and had behaved himself for four years after the state had declared him safe enough to release back into the community…?
