We’re the Only Ones Idealess Enough
And the rifle, the weapon that was used, the murder weapon … it was so unusual that the investigators when they were looking into it, and the investigators are all, you know, very familiar with firearms, right, knew all the guns, but when they were looking at this gun, they were like “I have no idea how this is loaded,” the investigators had to watch YouTube videos… [Watch]
So they turn to the “gun community” for help…?

We’re the Only Ones ‘Paper or Plastic?’ Enough
Calling a Spate a Spate
We’re the Only Ones Demolishing Enough
The chief of police in Galveston, Texas, has been placed on administrative leave as the city investigates a botched SWAT raid that caused an estimated $5,000 in property damage to an innocent family’s home. Police subsequently withheld information about the raid, and city officials only learned of it days later following local news reports… [More]
Back the what…?

We’re the Only Ones Falsely Alarming Enough
LAPD: No evidence of planned mass shooting by man found with cache of weapons in Hollywood high-rise [More]
A spokeswoman for the department explains.
So the threat was even smaller than his cache?
Still, the ungulates are bleating sighs of relief.

We’re the Only Ones Unleashing Enough
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has been pushing a plan to unleash dog-like military robots in our communities, and it’s highlighting the power of well-funded police lobbyists to purchase influence in local governments. [More]
Back to the question at hand…

They Just Don’t Make Large Caches Like They Used To
Scare Tactics
The man who was fatally shot by police after entering a Target store in Omaha, Nebraska, armed with an AR-15-style rifle had obtained the weapon just four days earlier at a Cabela’s sporting goods store, police said Wednesday. [More]
And aside from putting Cabela’s on the spot with a fact irrelevant to the situation, the purpose of telling us that is…? Did the guy pass the background check we’re told must be made universal or not?
If it had been four years, they’d simply come up with a different avenue of attack.

We’re the Only Ones Stumped Enough
California cops shoot dead double amputee, 36, as he tries to run away from them on his stumps: Police department says officers feared he was going to ‘throw his knife at them’ [More]
“Run”?
Not the ‘Only One’?
In a strongly worded letter to ATF Director Steven Dettelbach, obtained and reviewed by DrydenWire.com, Sheriff Waak states that he will not take any enforcement action on this rule change “or allow any federal agent to take action against his citizens.”
“I stand ready to defend the rights of honest, law-abiding residents here in Polk County,” Waak states. [More]
Physically?
There’s an interview I didn’t have 42 minutes to watch here. I can’t promise you he’ll answer that question.

We’re the Only Ones Invasive Enough
Police chief placed on administrative leave after officers raid family’s house… [More]
A wrong raid. What are the odds?
On a positive note, he certainly looks…uh…well fed.

We’re the Only Ones Breaking Bad Enough
They said Denning, since July 2021, communicated with the informant, connecting the person with drug dealers in California to buy cocaine and methamphetamine. That would continue for 15 months, according to court papers. [More]
If convicted, #16 seems appropriate…

We’re the Only Ones Stripped Enough
A former Tennessee cop who was recently fired over a sex scandal in which she admitted to having sex with several of her work colleagues is reportedly being offered $10,000 to perform at a Nashville strip club. [More]
Based on photos I’ve seen, it seems to me more than one patron would be yelling “Put it on!”
In seriousness, I think they’re exploiting a troubled person who needs help. Not cool.

Nevada Considers Bill to Allow Foreign Citizens as Police Officers
The thought of a foreigner doing it seems intolerable. What could go wrong with our cities employing what amounts to latter-day Hessian mercenaries, with incentives to follow orders above all else, especially since rocking the boat or blowing the whistle could jeopardize more than their jobs, but also their eligibility to remain in this country?

Back the blue…helmets?
We’re the Only Ones Pornographic Enough
We’re the Only Ones Uninformative Enough
The police chief in the California city where 20 people were shot — 11 fatally — at a ballroom dance hall defended his decision not to warn the public for hours that a killer was on the loose, saying Wednesday he didn’t have enough information to effectively alert residents. [More]
“There’s a tiger on the loose, chief!”
“Bengal or Siberian…?”

As the Dam Breaks
“Real reporters” gradually discover what we’ve been talking about for days.
- UK’s Independent: “Video shows police shooting unarmed disabled man”
- New York Post: “Unarmed ‘disabled’ man wrongly suspected of holding hostage is shot by cops”
Even the local ABC 15 News grudgingly admits “The surveillance footage released by Kloepfer appears to show a conflicting account of the event.” and contains one other bit of happy news:
The State Bureau of Investigations has opened an investigation into the shooting.
Sorry– still nothing on CNN or any of the major papers.
Surprised?
Just let’s not forget where credit is due.
