We’re the Only Ones Sobering Enough

WSMV4 Investigates uncovers more than 600 cases of sober drivers arrested for DUI in Tennessee [More]

Everyone involved, from arresting officers to supervisors to higher-ups who allowed it not only ought to be fired, they ought to be criminally charged and civilly sued with no qualified immunity.

What is it about Tennessee sheriff’s departments?

“Back the blue” my… eye.

We’re the Only Ones Nakedly Abusive Enough

We now know the name of the former Florissant police officer accused of stealing nude photos from women without them knowing during traffic stops. [More]

Not to change the subject, but women so compliant with authority and oblivious to their rights vote…? Democrat, right?

We’re the Only Ones Disability Abusing Enough

In Phoenix, Arizona, cops were called by a Circle K gas station in reference to a white man they wanted trespassed from their store. When they arrived, the white man pointed across the street to a black man, claiming that the man was the actual culprit. Just taking his word for it, Phoenix officers Ben Harris and Kyle Sue violently attacked the black man. His name is Tyron McAlpin. He’s completely deaf and has cerebral palsy. [More]

Well, if he didn’t want to be arrested he shouldn’t have broken the cops hand with his mouth.

We’re the Only Ones Cool Enough

Mitchell, 33, was kept in what was “essentially a cement box” that had no sink, toilet or running water, often lying naked on the bare ground of his cold cell with no blanket or mat for two weeks, according to prosecutors. He froze to death on Jan. 26, 2023 after visibly deteriorating in front of officers, who are accused of denying him food, water and medical care, a lawsuit filed over his death says. [More]

Kind of gives a whole new meaning to “Back the blue”…

What’s the difference between “Only Ones” and Nazis?

In this case, the Nazis were laughable.

We’re the Only Ones Guaranteeing Enough

Sober driver arrested for DUI and thrown in jail because officer knew his brother, ‘guaranteed’ he had weed in the car: Lawsuit [More]

 In a rational world, “Shreiner repeatedly turning off his audio” in addition to his absolutely unlawful behavior would be enough to take qualified immunity off the table.

Sing it, George, you…

We’re the Only Ones Playing Grand Theft Auto Enough

…the entire time police had Robinson’s vehicle impounded, they never checked to see whether both her fog lights were working, or not. They also never tested the car for potentially relevant evidence, such as gunpowder residue… [More]

Who needs good old-fashioned police work?

Come to think of it, that generally involved a rubber hose…

We’re the Only Ones Pure Evil Enough

Houston Officials Trusted a Dishonest Drug Cop for Decades Before His Lies Killed 2 People … “There was no confidential informant,” Goines wrote. “I made the purchase by myself.” [More]

Another reason why “anonymous” snitch lines are evil:

What if you’re a cop and getting a warrant might prove problematic? (It’s not like we haven’t seen prominent warrant “workarounds” at the highest law enforcement levels recently.) Calling in a tip could reduce a lot of red tape.

Some people make me rethink my opposition to crucifixion, and I’m not even thinking as a deterrent.

We’re the Only Ones Poor Craftsmen Enough

Officer indicted after stealing toolbox from suspect’s car, TBI says [More]

You gotta wonder what it is about experience in the culture that makes them think they can get away with it enough to risk losing job and pension, and over such insignificant rewards…

Let’s hope they also hammer the dumb mother******.

Where do they get these morons, and why is it considered OK to inflict them on the rest of us?

We’re the Only Ones Out of Uniform Enough

It claimed Smith attempted to end his part in a polyamorous relationship with Officer Eric Windler and his wife, after which he was ruthlessly targeted. The lawsuit noted that Windler and Smith’s wife maintained their relationship after Smith’s arrest and throughout the proceedings. [More]

Kinda makes you want to go right out there and Back the Blue, doesn’t it?

We’re the Only Ones Misidentifying Enough

Two Alaska state troopers charged with assault after violently arresting wrong person [More]

Realize what you’re dealing with. Unless you are prepared to physically prevail and then escape without being identified, don’t argue and obey. Once you’re safe come at them with a lawyer — that is, unless you are prepared to physically prevail and then escape without being identified.

We’re the Only Ones Planting Enough

Former Alabama police officer agrees to plead guilty to planting drugs before bogus traffic stop [More]

Again with “former.” The only reason is because the stupid, evil bastard got caught. And 40, eh? So he’s been preying on victims for how long?

Tell us again about badge heaviness, George.

We’re the Only Ones Unqualified Enough

The Second Circuit has ruled that a Connecticut police officer is not entitled to qualified immunity after handcuffing, detaining, and conducting a warrantless search on the plaintiff’s car because they “presented a facially valid firearms permit and disclosed that he possessed a firearm pursuant to the permit” [More]
