Notes from the Resistance
Another former Loveland police officer will spend time behind bars for her role in the violent arrest of a 73-year-old woman with dementia. [More]
Anybody see anything about roughing up mentally incapacitated old ladies on the disqualifier list?
And I wonder if they could get a job protecting Phil and the Borough Council…?

“By adopting this ordinance, the Borough Council will make it clear that our public buildings, such as our schools, our library and our community center, should be free from the dangers of unlicensed, poorly trained or troubled gun owners, while accepting our law enforcement officers who are doing their duty.” [More]
Because everyone’s safer with “Only Ones“!
And speaking of duty…

In a court filing Thursday, prosecutors say former Rocky Mount Police Sgt. Thomas Robertson used his law enforcement training to block police officers who were trying to protect the Capitol from a mob’s attack on Jan. 6, 2021. [More]
They train you to block police officers?
Or more likely they want to make an example out of him just in case any others are getting ideas on orders not to obey and when it’s appropriate to be a citizen first…?

Madison County Sheriff Buddy Harwood recently unveiled his plan to put gun safes containing AR-15 rifles in schools so school resource officers can respond faster to a school shooter, rather than standing by and waiting for local police to respond to the scene. [More]
I don’t suppose one in every classroom for the actual “first responders” is in the cards…?

And right before that he must have told “Only Ones” founder Lee Paige to hold his beer.
Urban libraries have to have their own police details? Do they have “patrol rifles“? I remember when a stern old lady going “Shhh!” was enough, back in the days before society became “progressive” and needed all these rules.

A now-former school resource officer in South Carolina has been charged by state police after authorities say they found 15 explicit images of a 17-year-old student on his cell phone. [More]
Just like the old man in

Tangentially-related UPDATE:

“We really don’t know where they got the Dogwood Dell thing. I’m not sure where that came from,” said Sam Simpson, an attorney for Balacarcel, following the Wednesday hearing. “Because they dropped it in a pretty quick manner, we haven’t really gotten to see all the evidence they might have.” [More]
Does this mean the informant is not the “hero” he’s been made out to be? I’m trying to figure out why gun charges would be dropped unless the evidence was illegally obtained, and I haven’t given up on my “Only One trying to get around a warrant” hypothesis.
I don’t suppose anyone in power is interested in coming up with a fix for the real issue here…?

Firearms must be transported unloaded and inside a trunk or cargo are of your vehicle. Firearms should be either wrapped, cased or boxed. Magazines and ammunition must be in a separate area of the vehicle (such as the backseat). Firearms must be in working condition. [More]
So how is an elderly widow giving up her late husband’s gun and who knows nothing about them supposed to safely determine all that?

Cop Arrested for Ramming His Cruiser Into a Horse, Driving On Top Of It So His Partner Could Shoot It [More]
This is where that extra training comes in. I mean, who among us a) would even think of doing that, and b) follow through with it?

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…?
