Notes from the Resistance
Cherokee Indians Tribal Council Votes for Car/Bodycam Exemption after SWAT Shooting [More]
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!
That leaves open the question of how police got the address wrong in the first place. What checklist procedures are in place to preclude an armed response and the assumptions that go with one until a positive identification has been established? Were those procedures followed? [More]
You don’t need to look very far to find plenty of headlines showing outrageously lethal raids like this happening again and again and again.
Harroz said although the investigation will continue, it is believed that the calls came from outside the United States. [More]
Yeah, but our highly trained “Only Ones” know better than to just open fire based on a caller’s say-so, don’t they?

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?
Police dealing with more school ‘swatting’ calls in our region, across the country [More]
How is it they can track down who was wearing a damn panda mask on J6 but these evil and dangerous m***********s are getting away with this with seeming impunity?
And I’m wondering how many public floggings followed by hangings it would take to make this stop…

The Meridian Police Department has been made aware of multiple “active shooter” calls which have been reported across the State of Idaho. These calls have all been identified as hoaxes. [More]
And we’ve seen what can happen when responders go in with an assumptions mindset.

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?
Some recent terrorist school hoaxes from around the Republic:
I wonder what kind of “commonsense” prior restraints on the First Amendment would stop these…

Aside from some good barbecued ribs, we don’t get all that many trends starting out in Kansas City…
In a way, especially with “burner phones” and TORFone, this seems like the type of terror threat that could be organizationally exploited, which I wouldn’t be surprised to find accounts for its rapid growth. Add in foreign enemies like Kim in North Korea or for Russia to retaliate for sending arms to Ukraine, and this looks like an “enemies foreign and domestic” dream tactic.
And let’s not forget those who benefit the most by creating a problem the public will demand only they can solve…
We sure have come a long way since Amanda Huginkiss…

What should you do if you used a credit card to make a gun shop purchase and the feds come knocking at your door asking to see your hardware? You should ask to see their search warrant. They won’t have one, in which case you should politely say, “Have a good day” and close and lock your door. Then call your local police and report unwanted knocking on your door by an armed stranger. [More]
As fun as that sounds, I’m not sure I’d follow his advice. In the Delaware case, they came with a state trooper plus they showed badges, and “Only Ones” generally (admittedly not always) back each other up. If I were to do as he suggests, I’d make sure to add that they say they are law enforcement but do not have a warrant. And if I did call, it would probably be to the sheriff.

In his living room, in front of a Tampa Bay Lightning meeting, a supporter had a funny misadventure. [More]
SWATted him. Ha ha. Then he’d have been the one on ice.
It’s not like “Only Ones” aren’t extra cautious in “domestic disputes,” with the Number One Priority being to make it home at the end of their shift.
It’s not like people haven’t been shot and killed as a result.

Whoopi called on American citizens to call the cops on their own neighbors and friends if their arsenal is “too big.” “Does your neighbor have too big an arsenal? Call the cops!” Whoopi shouted as she falsely claimed the 2nd Amendment doesn’t cover AR-15s. [More]
Punch Republicans and SWAT gun owners? I guess when you’ve given yourself so many abortions you need to wear undergaskets, blaming and hating others is the only way to keep from looking inward.
