When Defending Cops Becomes Impossible

[Murph]

And he knows it he just has to miss characterize to demonize and to do everything he can to approve that Democrat run cities are not shit holes with needles all over the place human feces, a crime rate that is insane run by liberals and people who hate this country.

Former Director of FBI New York James Dennehy left the office for the final time to sad bagpipes playing outside 🤣

What a spectacle.

Dennehy was forced to resign after Bondi alleged he HID Epstein documents from her.

This is why there should be a 110 or 115 minimum IQ to get certified as LE;

Given the rank stupidity of the local LE where Tim Pool lives, a solution to swatting might be for the victims to sue for $10-20M and use some of the tort proceeds to build a SWAT-proof house.

Perpetrators of SWATing need to go to prison for attempted murder. 
 

One count for every person in the building and one count for every officer who responds.

Don't go after a tactic, the problem is the police state and the general delegation/surrender of personal responsibility to the State.

Men should handle their own problems, women should find a man who handles his own problems.  This has been over a century in the making, diverse anonymous urban living inevitably results in shitholes, driving the demand for State authority to "do something."  That something is always anti-freedom.  It's a gradient from anarchy to north Korea, we're far closer to that then people generally care to admit.  S/F.....Ken M

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - A Horry County man is taking the county’s police department and one officer to court after claiming he was wrongfully arrested last year.

Gregory McDowell, a disabled veteran who spent 25 years as a federal law enforcement agent before retiring, filed the lawsuit against the Horry County Police Department and officer Ryan Coggins on Friday.

McDowell said that Coggins arrested him on Nov. 12, 2024, at his Conway-area home for making a false report. McDowell then spent two days in jail, held in “filthy conditions” until he made bond, the lawsuit states.

But McDowell claims that Coggins’ police report and affidavit were not consistent with what he said in his interviews days before his arrest about a neighbor possibly pointing a gun at him.

 

 

Quote

“That in fact the Coggins affidavit was false as was his statement that McDowell had a long history of bringing accusations of fraud and attempted assault against the third party,” the lawsuit reads.

 

Quote

Coggins revealed at the hearing he talked with other officers before arresting McDowell, and he was aware of a “previous or ongoing internal investigation prompted by McDowell,” the lawsuit states.

Well, there it is.

Yep, the officer in the stroke victim case should be fired as well.  If those are all the facts of the case.

Boy shot by police declared ‘clinically braindead.’

 

I spend my time going through the news every day. Part of my hobby. I used to be surprised that horrible killings like this happened in "nice places," in this case Idaho. I am no longer surprised. There are no "nice places," no place is a safe Mayberry. 

The police just lined up behind a fence and opened up on this child. 

If I were a prosecutor, I would seek the death penalty.

Not a cop, but judges are part of the system...

A Pennsylvania judge accused of shooting her ex-boyfriend in the head while he slept may spend decades behind bars — as she was convicted of attempted homicide and aggravated assault charges Wednesday.

After two hours of deliberations, a jury convicted Sonya M. McKnight, a magisterial judge in Dauphin County, on both charges she faced — one count of attempted murder and one count of aggravated assault.

 

 

Quote

 

The shooting unfolded in February 2024 after McKnight’s then-boyfriend, Michael McCoy, 54, attempted to end their one-year relationship and asked her to move out of his home.

McKnight allegedly agreed to go — but later that evening, McCoy was awoken by a “massive head pain” and was blind. During the trial, he testified that he couldn’t see after the shooting but that McKnight was the only other person home at the time.

 

Hell hath no fury...

Quote

 

McKnight had a previous altercation with her estranged husband, Enoch McKnight, in 2019 during which she shot him in the groin after asking him to help her move furniture.

The couple married in 2014 but had filed for divorce two years later. However, the divorce was still pending at the time of the shooting, which was ruled to be self-defense as the pair were in the midst of a domestic dispute.

Yep. Don’t get arrested in Fulton County. The jail is awful. 

[Murph]

Most jails really do suck.  I had to go into ours almost daily, and it had its own "smell" that is just impossible to describe until you actually smell it.  Prisons have the same type of unique smell.  Nope, no thanks.

A good description of many Texas Sheriff's Departments even today:

You Might Be A Rural Texas Peace Officer if;

If your hat, belt and boots cost more than your sidearm. (AND they have to match)
If you know what a 'court gun' is.
If you have a 'court gun'.
If directions to a location involve livestock, property descriptions, or the words "When you get off the pavement."
If the winner of the last three bar room brawls was last years Homecoming Queen. (Not far from the truth)
If dressing up for court involves pressed Wranglers and a Brushpopper shirt. (I wore pressed and starched Wranglers every day at work).
If anyone on the Department is named 'Bubba'.
If you don't know Bubba's real name.
If Bubba is his real name.
If you've ever gotten a confession from a critter by threatening him with either his Mama or God. (Seen this happen).
If your interview for the job involved the question: "Can you take a whuppin'?" Or: What kind of beer do you drink? (Correct Answer is: Cold real question that got asked back in the day).  
If you have more weapons and ammunition in your cruiser than most small nations have in their armies.
If you've ever had an 'Officer Involved Shooting' where the victim was a feral hog or other four-pawed critter with an appetite. (BTDT)
If the calibre of your sidearm is regarded as an artillery round in Europe.
If you've ever had to mediate a dispute concerning the paternity of a litter of puppies (or children).
If you have the impression that the Feds regard your department as being marginally more civilized than the Viking Hordes.
If you think all back-up is 30 miles away and asleep in bed. (Yep, BTDT)
If you’ve ever installed a police radio in your John Deere tractor. (Real story, it actually happened!  AND he responded to back up another deputy).

I am so pleased you now understand that all (or almost all) American cities are "Democrat-run."

Yes, and the vast majority of them are shit holes thanks to 60 years or more of entrenched democrat mismanagement, malfeasance, and corruption. The ones that are not are usually populated by whites with very very tiny minority populations. But don't fret, you guys are changing that.

Now wouldn't it have just been easier to say you dislike Black people rather than going through all this charade of saying you dislike people who live in cities? Wouldn't that just be more honest? 

Still, I am glad we could work together to find the real issue.

No Paul I am someone who can read and understand crime statistics. You cant prove me wrong so you call me a racist while alluding to some unmentioned "real issue" while being unable to address the actual issues at hand.  But to be honest I don't give a rusty fuck if the likes of you think I am racist. Accusations of racism is all people like you have to hide behind.

 You go nose blind to the smell. Although there are two units in the one I work. All I tell the wife is I worked units five or six and she has fresh clothes and the shower waiting when I get home. They are the short term and long term psychiatric wings. It's usually not toothpaste and gravy we have to clean of the cameras we just hope it is.
