Notes from the Resistance
I spoke with Bill Frady about my exclusive reports on the North Carolina “firing squad.” [Listen]
What these actions don’t mitigate or excuse is the police opening fire on him immediately after he emerged unarmed from his trailer with his hands raised and his wife directly behind him. [More]
So will the State Bureau of Investigation and the DA aggressively pursue this, and if not, why not?

I thought this whole thing was “the result of white supremacy“…?

Capser alleges that police knew the exact whereabouts of the stolen BMW Brownlee was driving near Soldier Field and began following him just an hour before he shot Dakotah. Because of a non-pursuit policy in place, responding officers had to call off their pursuit of Brownlee and file an eluding report, lawyers say. [More]
Because if you disproportionately stop criminals they won’t be able to disproportionately amass victims, right?
Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

J. Wyndal here evidently thinks police not executing him on the spot was racist.

The Police Shooting of Jason Kloepfer [Watch]
Or you can watch it on Rumble.
This is a top-notch legal analysis based on information available at the time.
I have a follow-up piece I hope to see come out later today that will address many of the assumptions and questions raised (and leave many more unanswered).
A SWAT team firing on an unarmed man with his hands in the air isn’t newsworthy? [More]
There are plenty of unanswered questions. Why aren’t the “real reporters” asking them?
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…?

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…?

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.

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…

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.
