The Twitter account Scenes from the Atlanta Forest calls for a “Night of Rage” on Friday to enact “reciprocal violence to be done to the police and their allies,” according to a post. [More]
Jeez, those charged with inciting the J6 protestors didn’t say anything near this violent, and look what the government’s doing to them.

Anything you whoop can and will be held against you? Sounds more like they were given a pass, but don’t be surprised if bodycams really were turned on to share the amusement.
If that’s how seriously they take his wedding vows, imagine how they revere their oaths!

Is this the way we want the police to act? Does this make you less likely to “back the blue” and more likely to consider law enforcement the violence arm of those who would rule? [More]

You’ve gotta wonder what kind of incompetent and lazy morons the taxpayers are subsidizing.
With the “profession’s” track record, it’s not out of line to wonder if something more was in play.

We’re the Only Ones Supported Enough
“The community is very supportive and I am grateful they took the time to educate themselves on the process of how obtaining these firearms takes place,” Wendt told The Daily Beast in a Tuesday text message, confirming the reinstatement and the stipulation. “I wish journalists would do the same and realize this is an attack on the 2nd amendment and not just about me.” [More]

A Philadelphia woman visited a police station to find out why she appeared to have a police record despite having done nothing wrong — only to be arrested and put behind bars for nearly a week in a case of mistaken identity… Hudson, who is Black, would soon learn that she had been mistaken for a suspect with the same name.

We’re the Only Ones Settling Enough
The $8 million settlement between Mesa and Laney Sweet for the death of her husband has finally been funded, according to Sweet’s attorney. The settlement was originally reached back in November 2022, nearly seven years after former Mesa police Officer Philip “Mitch” Brailsford killed Daniel Shaver, shooting him five times in a hotel hallway in 2016. [More]
Pretty sweet, when the payment for your murder comes from your victim pool.
I guess complaining about this makes me an idiot.
Still, this raises a question for me:
In 2018, it was confirmed by the Mesa Police Department that the U.S. Department of Justice had opened a civil rights investigation into Brailsford, subpoenaing all documentation pertaining to the shooting. At this time, no information surrounding the investigation has been released, nor has the city provided an update into the matter.
Do you think that would be the case if Shaver had not been… do I dare say it?
