Notes from the Resistance
The Minneapolis Police Department’s “buyback” program allows organizations, sports teams or neighborhoods to buy extra overtime police patrols. But the program has been criticized as inequitable and further stretching the department’s resources at a time when some less wealthy neighborhoods say police are totally unresponsive. [More]
So will the 911 dispatcher tell callers their plan doesn’t cover that because the extra bodies are servicing rich white Democrats?
Or just let them be surprised…?

Nashville oversight board pushes for audit after receiving edited bodycam video from Metro police [More]
All right, quiet on the set… Take Two … Action!
After being robbed during livestream of worship service, NYC bishop says, ‘I think all pastors should be able to get permits for pistols’ [More]
How about parishioners?
Talk to your “mentor, brother, and friend.” He’s big on “Only Ones.”
Maybe put a little something extra in the collection plate…

An officer with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department is currently being held in a Mexican jail after breaking Mexican federal law. Lemandries Hawes was arrested at the airport in Cancun, Mexico on July 9 for having his personally-owned pistol in his luggage. [More]
Bienvenido a la fiesta, amigo!
When it says he declared it with the airline, I’m assuming he meant outbound? What did he do to get it in?
And how is it “highly-trained law enforcement” is this freaking ignorant?

NC town’s entire police force quits in protest over progressive town manager [More]
She sounds like a real entitled prize. But don’t worry– she won’t be the one serving warrants or responding to domestic dispute calls, what with Sheriff Bizzell smelling a contract cities opportunity…
Funny, at first I thought this was a repeat of a story I came across earlier this month, but that one was in Colorado.

Violent, Attempted Robbery on CTA Red Line Train Near Lincoln Park Leaves Multiple People Critically Stabbed [More]
Hold on a sec…
First, lemme check Rule 28…
Now we have to cross-reference that with (720 ILCS 5/24-2)
Sec. 24-2. Exemptions…
I said hold ON a sec…

Florida sergeant who grabbed female cop by throat charged with battery, assault [More]
I wonder what made that his instinctive reaction after 21 years on the force and rising through the ranks…? It’s kind of telling that the one who pulled him back was the relatively new kid while all those others just stood around.

The jury then sent a second note after 10 a.m. that “we have decided as a group that we cannot reach an unanimous decision or verdict.” [More]
Unless the guy was coerced, insane, under the influence, or sleepwalking, “willful” appears to be self-evident.
I’d be curious to know if more than one juror was the holdout, and if not, about party affiliation.

BREAKING: LAPD Stops Enforcing California’s ‘High-Capacity’ Magazine Ban [More]
They say California is often first in things. Let’s see if this spreads.
Whip-wielding Florida woman, 56, arrested for STABBING minivan with a pitchfork [More]
The thought strikes that one way to show the ludicrousness of the term “assault weapon” would be to observe that if the same “logic” were applied to this as is applied to guns, the tool in the hands of an “Only One” would magically transform into a “patrol pitchfork.”
And don’t get me started on “Modern Sporting Rifles,” a term I have always found irritatingly appeasing.

Missouri sheriff says even under ‘threat of arrest’ he will not release gun owners’ info to FBI – ‘I will go down with the ship if need be,’ the sheriff says [More]
I’m sorry, but while everybody’s waving flags, my first thought is “What’s he doing with that information in the first place?”

Armed Homeowner Ends Neighborhood Crime Spree with Deadly Aim, Police Heard Just One Shot [More]
Thank goodness he finished up before the professionals got there and put his neighbors at risk!

Cowardly DSM apparatchik Lawrence O’Donnell spreads the fear-mongering message that “Resistance is futile.” [Watch]
The scenario he presents of armed teachers congregating in the hallway is hardly the only option, nor even a tactically sound or likely one. And his solution is apparently to have “Only Ones” afraid to face one guy with an AR-15 go after the untold millions he wants to ban.
