We’re the Only Ones Settling Enough

Louisiana authorities have agreed to pay $9 million to a man who was partially paralyzed from the waist down after a trooper shot him in the back during a 2018 traffic stop in Baton Rouge and then falsely reported it as a Taser discharge. [More]

But it won’t be the “Louisiana authorities” paying, will it?

Meanwhile, the lying, incompetent sow was allowed to plea to a misdemeanor, avoided jail, and had her record expunged.

Remember: Back the Blue!

We’re the Only Ones Strapped Enough

After telling B.K. she was “insanely attractive,” the summary order states Cook sent her a picture of his crotch while sitting in his personal vehicle with a gun in his waistband, telling her he was “strapped.” [More]

Sure knows how to sweet-talk a gal… I guess that’s the difference between a trained, professional community hero and us “civilians”…

We’re the Only Ones In Policy Enough

Brooklyn cop accused of hitting car, leaving scene, assaulting driver [More]

Speeding like a demon, going through red lights, recklessly endangering the public… But it’s OK because:

Police determined that Stein didn’t break any policies during the confrontation.

And remember: Back the Blue!

We’re the Only Ones Getting to the Choppa Enough

Woman says SAPD officer ex-boyfriend put AirTag in her vehicle, tracked her in police helicopter – The department declined to discipline Officer Ausencio Mata; sources say investigators were unaware of photos taken from SAPD’s EAGLE helicopter [More]

“It came down to a ‘he said she said’…” Really?

Officers are empower without command-authorized oversight, controls, warrants or approved agreements to do this?

I simply don’t believe that.

We’re the Only Ones Searching Enough

FOX 2 has learned the names of individuals who a former police chief is accused of misusing the Regional Justice Information System database. Hundreds of people were allegedly searched without their knowledge and without probable cause. [More]

At least he didn’t have “ICE” in the query field…

Ain’t it something’? Two stories today about how those entrusted with surveillance powers can’t be…

We’re the Only Ones Approved Enough

Kentucky State Police Trooper James Cameron Wright has finally been indicted by the feds for multiple civil rights violations, which were not only known by his chain of command, but some of which were personally reviewed and approved by the literal head of the Kentucky State Police. This includes beatings, perjury, and more. [Watch]

Sounds like beatings all around are in order.

We’re the Only Ones Propertied Enough

Rollins noted that the “fence that was put up in 1910 by Charles’s great-great grandad that no one ever thought there was a problem”… “That’s [all?] they hear of it until agents in SWAT gear show up at their front door and say that they are being criminally charged for theft of government property that they need to find guardians for their young children because they are likely going to jail”… [More]

Anybody see any “Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings” in all this…?

We’re the Only Ones Homicidal Enough

Three years ago, Detective Daniel Leyden shot and killed his girlfriend, Deputy Abigail Bieber, before turning the gun and killing himself. It was the third murder-suicide involving Hillsborough County deputies within five years. [More]

And the LEO/”civilian” divide isn’t just localized.

Just think of all the situations and places where they can have a gun and you can’t. Then ask yourself what the state is unleashing on the rest of us.

We’re the Only Ones Armed Robbing Enough

In exchange for his repayment of the $3,500 that was stolen, the felony theft charges have been dismissed. [More]

So hes not a prohibited person now, like you or I would be if we ever sank so low?

Abusing a position of special public trust like that actually deserves more punishment than an ordinary person would get. Along with a good flogging.

We’re the Only Ones ****ing Up Enough

“If that car doesn’t appear in the next 10 minutes, I will literally make your life a living hell. I am the wrong cop to take off on. I will be here every * day knocking on your door,” Officer Alli says. “I saw your face. I’ll **** you up when I see you *****. [More]

Back the Blue. Or we’ll **** you up.

We’re the Only Ones Four-Dimensional Enough

A hearing in which a judge will consider a full order of protection is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Monday in a St. Louis County courtroom. A ruling could also impact the Sheriff’s ability to carry a gun. Typically, subjects are required to surrender their firearms, but there is often an exemption for police officers, who are sometimes required to turn in their guns before the end of each shift. [More]

How does that work, when he’s safe in this time and space, and unsafe in another?
