Notes from the Resistance
23-year-old Sandra Birchmore, who was allegedly groomed and sexually assaulted by three former Stoughton police officers for nearly a decade, according to a wrongful death suit filed in 2022, was found dead in her Canton apartment on Feb. 4, 2021. [More]
Just reading this one account and not knowing anything else about the case, I see how lynch mob mentalities are formed. I had to take a deep breath and think “due process” to myself a couple times.

All that and it’s racist, too? 13% seems kind of coincidental…
I wonder if Giffords will feel any blowback from their affiliation with a former promoter…?

Bodycam from Brunswick PD at Buzzard’s Roost in Hinckley, OH shows alleged drunk off-duty ATF/DEA/HSI agents illegally detain a man, reports show multiple charges on the agents, including abduction. [Watch]
I need to set aside an hour over the weekend to watch this.

“She signed those statements while under chemical restraints,” O’Brien argued. The “psychiatric drugs literally [were] designed to overpower her will.” Physical evidence also affirms she didn’t commit the crime, O’Brien said. He said former Saint Joseph police officer Michael Holman, who died in 2015, likely committed the murder. [More]
Yet the system backed him.

Yesterday’s AmmoLand piece on illegal alien “Only Ones” got me wondering on ways to discourage the practice in spite of blue city/state machinations.
I first thought of Congress withholding federal funds from such cities, but I don’t see the political will to do that and plenty of ways it could backfire.
Instead, could Congress write a law saying such “officers” will not be protected by “qualified immunity”? Again, I don’t see much chance of it passing anytime soon, but how about just as a pre-election wakeup call for undecideds who weren’t aware that Democrats want to subject them to having to obey lawbreaking foreign nationals — or else?
How a foreign national can take the oath of office, required by Article. VI. of the Constitution, without any conflict of loyalty is left unaddressed. [More]
Why bring in blue helmeted mercenaries when you’re already sitting on a ready reserve?
Four Florida police officers have been indicted for manslaughter in connection with a 2019 shootout on a busy rush-hour street that left a hijacked UPS driver and a passerby in a nearby car dead. [More]

Did anyone seriously think there would be?
Those whose Constitutional mandate is to not infringe on it executed a citizen for exercising his right. Their pretext, that some of his sales allegedly went to “prohibited persons,” is a fraudulent excuse because there is no delegated power authorizing the whole concept.
There’s only one way to address that problem…
The organization, called Police Leaders for Community Safety, will prop up anti-gunner candidates running for Congress in the hopes of getting more gun control laws passed at the federal level. [More]
The money behind it is what I want to trace.
They don’t show up on Guidestar yet, and their website is registered by proxy, and so far, it doesn’t look like they have the guts to open a “social media” account so gun owners can publicly tell these grunting oinkers what they think of them.

Horrifying video footage had captured the moment Yareni Rios was detained in a cop car parked on tracks in Platteville in September 2022 — with the officers seemingly oblivious to a fast-approaching locomotive repeatedly blaring its horn. Finally, a female officer notices, gasping, “Oh my God, oh my God!” [More]
How?
The same thing happened years ago in the neighboring town, a teenager was killed when her friend ignored the flashing lights and tried to drive around the lowered gates. The bureaucratic solution was to spend millions on a bridge and erect a sign naming it after the victim, which one friend pegged the “I’m with Stupid” bridge.

Attorney General Delivers Remarks at ATF’s Third Annual Chiefs of Police Executive Forum on Crime Guns … First: our work is far from over. Progress is only progress. Our work is not done until all Americans feel safe in their communities. [More]
Boy, talk about slopping the hogs…
What have we learned about “progress“? And “feelings“?
Speaking of which, I don’t feel safe knowing these official swineherds can dispatch their JBTs out to flashbang my house at 3 a.m. if they think I have arms reserved for “Only Ones,” and execute any family member who so much as twitches…

This video shows irrefutable proof that Roseanne Boyland was NOT killed from a drug overdose (as the corrupt DC Coroner’s Office reported) but, in fact, died because of a stampede organized by Capitol Police. [More]
Still, we can’t just ignore autopsy toxicology results. What were they and have they been independently examined?

LPD’s Criminal Investigations Unit said Little’s friend initiated a physical fight with one of the security guards, and while the two were swinging punches, several items, including two handguns, fell out of the security guard’s tactical vest. Video showed Little reached for and appeared to pick up one of the loaded handguns. [More]

“The firing of the officer who shot and killed Roger Fortson is a step forward, but it is not full justice for Roger and his family. The actions of this deputy were not just negligent, they were criminal,” family attorney Ben Crump said in a Friday evening statement. “While the criminal investigation is still ongoing, we fully anticipate charges to be filed against this officer. The video footage provides damning proof that this was a brutal and senseless killing of a young man who was simply enjoying time alone with his dog while video chatting with his girlfriend.” [More]
And to all the bloviating “Back the Blue” apologists who say he shouldn’t have answered the door with a gun in his hand knowing who was on the other side, what is it he really knew…?

Special Prosecutor Ric Hertel filed six additional charges against former Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel on Monday. Five counts of theft and one count of money laundering now raise Noel’s charge count to 31.
