Notes from the Resistance
Kloepfer’s assertions against the County Attorney’s Motion to dismiss reject his claims, citing precedents, arguing qualified immunity does not apply because “Defendant Brown published a press release he knew or should have known to be false to ‘control the narrative’ about misconduct in a malicious and corrupt manner that constituted conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice”… [More]
The defense of the indefensible continues.
“It is admitted that Sheriff Smith was present at the scene of the Property at all times that these Defendants were present at the Property on December 13, 2022.” [More]
He said he wasn’t there. Those who were said he was.
[More]
And no, they won’t let you comment.
I wonder if any media are going to show up and grill them about this…
Be funny if someone released one of these… speaking of which, where’s the recording, to prove SWAT saw Jason pick it up and could tell that it was being carried before they lit him up…?
The lawsuit follows. Readers are encouraged to set aside the time to go through it completely to understand the totality of events that happened and are still happening to a citizen attempting to comply with police orders, and to know if it can happen to Jason Kloepfer it can happen to any of us.

That this story hasn’t been headline national news tells us much.

Bodycam videos? We ain’t got no bodycam videos. We don’t need no bodycam videos. I don’t have to show you any stinking bodycam videos!
Might have been a good idea to run the original article from January, so this would make more sense. [More]
New to how the internet works, are we…?
It also brings up fair questions about just how impartial any investigation can be without full disclosure of relationships between all parties involved in Klopefer’s shooting and subsequent actions. [More]
What assurances do we have that all personal and professional relationships have been disclosed and will not affect the outcome of the investigation?
NEW INFORMATION, MORE QUESTIONS… Part 1 … Including a pop quiz I’d like to offer! [More]
More questions about the criminally violent joint Cherokee County Sheriff/CIPD SWAT raid the press won’t ask as those of us looking for answers continue to be suppressed.
I’m wondering if an open letter to Ashley Welch asking about potential relationship conflicts of interest between investigators and those they are investigating might give those looking to whitewash and stonewall pause…
Police bodycam footage shows he was shot once in the abdomen, less than a second after an officer opened his bedroom door. Lewis appeared to be holding a vape pen, but no weapon … “This police officer fired his weapon less than a second after the door opened. That is about as reckless as a police officer can get,” Rex Elliott, the family’s attorney, said. [More]
Cherokee Indian Police SWAT says “Hold our beer.”
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?
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?
“Real reporters” gradually discover what we’ve been talking about for days.
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.
Sorry– still nothing on CNN or any of the major papers.
Surprised?
Just let’s not forget where credit is due.
