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.

They could’ve said something…

Sorry– still nothing on CNN or any of the major papers.

Surprised?

Just let’s not forget where credit is due.

We’re the Only Ones Out of Uniform Enough

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!

We’re the Only Ones Dispossessed Enough

When the deputy got out, police claim the suspects tried to grab his weapon, which was secured in his holster. After a brief struggle, the two ended up with the deputy’s gun and cellphone. The suspects then drove off in the deputy’s car, a 2011 Chevy Cruz. [More]

They can’t even protect themselves yet we’re supposed to believe they can protect us?

We’re the Only Ones Inattentive Enough

And the “detention officers’ didn’t notice for three hours…

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]

I’ll bite. If it’s about the Second Amendment, could I do it?

We’re the Only Ones Falsely Positive Enough

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.

There’s no better social justice equity than Democrat city social justice equity!

And if she’d resisted and been crippled or killed, it would have gotten a “department protocol” pass along with qualified immunity.

We’re the Only Ones Pooped Enough

A Texas police officer was fired from the San Antonio police department after two incidents involving feces. In one incident, officer Matthew Luckhurst fed a homeless man a sandwich with feces in it. He was later hired by the Floresville department but has been fired after an outpouring of anger. [More]

And remember: Back the Brown!
