after watching troopers beating up college girls I had zero sympathy for the 4 cops killed today trying to takes guns away. the fake right wing bootlickers are worse then the white hating communists who are honest at least.
the fake right wing are the dumbest people in the country due to their cowardice dumber then inner city blacks. after watching cops beating people for not having masks and kneeling during blm and pantifa riots they are still to retarded to see that cops work for white hating communists. If I had the power the tex-ass troopers would be crucified like the Romans did to Spartacus's army along side the interstate. the US cops and military along with the israeli military biggest cowards in human history posing as warriors but only make war on defenseless people
After all, the guy was exercising his 2nd amendment rights that were being infringed upon. I was thinking the same thing except that it was too bad that all 8 didn't die. I'm sick of it. Most of them are criminals in uniforms. Psychopathic control freak PARASITES. Useless. Who needs them? They are there AFTER the fact 99% of the time unless the fact happens to be someone not wearing a mask that they slam to the ground for disobeying some bullshit order given by another psychopathic control freak called a politician.
I don't wish death on anybody, Courageous, but I understand your point. I have never heard of a cop stopping a violent crime before it happened. Except in Hollywood. Thanks.
SPQR: The American Revolution began at Concord when the British troops came to take the colonist's guns and ammo. The Revolution began over gun rights, not taxes or warrantless searches of colonist's homes (though that really pissed of Americans.)
It was when the British came for the guns that the shooting began.
And maybe that war just started. Especially after what they did to Bryan Malinowski because he hadn't paid $200 for a federal firearms license. Absolutely SICKENING.
The death of these 4 cops will just bring more gun control down upon us... I expect a false flag type of terrorist attack a la Vegas so that they feel justified doing a gun round up. Good luck with that...
I'm still trying to figure out what happened. They say they were serving a warrant for "a suspect in possession of a firearm by a convicted felon." Does that mean that a convicted felon gave somebody his gun. Or does that mean a felon still possessed a firearm? And since when can somebody be indefinitely detained as "a person of interest"?
thru the 90's into the 2000's, I often drove a 30 mile or so countryside stretch of highway from the city to the coast. every year there seemed more and more folks pulled aside, yanked from their vehicles, sometimes in handcuffs, as the officers poured thru their vehicles.
betting that many of these searches were warrant-less, of course literally but also figuratively
They are encouraged to do this by their superiors, jwslaw. They can deny it all they want, but there is definitely a quota of arrests and tickets they are required to meet each month. Thanks.
"Profit," in the economic sense (well, the Austrian economic sense), presupposes the voluntary nature of the exchange. Both sides "profit." It should be called "policing for plunder" or just "pillaging."
I used to see the same thing in trips across Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Hapless families sitting on the ground while cops tossed their luggage all over the place. The drug couriers were probably laughing as they drove by.
Wow, that St George BS is unworthy of you. He didn't just have a " criminal record-- he could hang with any cop you mentioned for unjustified viciousness.
He assaulted for extortion a pregnant woman.
Then there was the BS in the media about minimizing Counterfeiting as a crime, and the irony that yes, traditionally, Counterfeiting IS a Capital offense...
The idea he may have innocently passed the bill is possible, but for a felonious drug addict in constant contact with other felons, it is not likely.
Then we hear the constant refrain--" 9 Minutes! Such a horrific abuse"!
With no vague mention of the 18 minutes of him kicking and resisting cops half his size they endured prior to finally getting control. Then there is his continual " I can't breathe" from the very beginning of the struggle in which he was able to resist multiple cops for 18 freakin' minutes with nary a break for a desperately needed breath.
But they should have known this looney tunes was no longer crying wolf once he was subdued?
Why? And don't say because of his restraint.
There was no compromise or injury from his restraint that killed him, it was standard protocol and the only honest autopsy stated flatly: he OD'd, and was suppressed and replaced with one more congenial to their pre determined narrative.
Even the bit about being on his neck is dubious, and widely attributed to awkward angle of the cell phone video.
I am not an expert, but people who are insist no one was actually on his neck.
, The coroner, author of the first suppressed autopsy said after being challenged that without doubt, if he has died at home, he would absolutely without hesitation, have ruled it a pure overdose death.
If Floyd is not a hill to die on for Cop Supporters, he is a much worse hill for Cop Critics.
It reminds me of all the BS surrounding the giant fat ass selling cigarettes in NYC. Whether one is a fan of cigarette taxes or not, he knew very well his business was illegal, and kihe Floyd, tried to use his size to overcome the cops arresting him, even his wife, post mortem said he was a bullying asshole who should have complied, or better yet, heeded his 800th warning about something he well knew was illegal before he did it the first time.
Then there was the bullying overgrown Black guy in St Louis, who Strong Arm robbed a convenience store and then tried to disarm a cop and got shot for his trouble. You remember, " Hands Up, Don't Shoot", pure bullshit that never happened, but fueled proto BLM vicious violence and mayhem.
Then there was the budding gangster Trayvon Martin, who very likely was indeed casing a home for burglary when he caught the attention of Zimmerman. When he assaulted Zimmerman, smashing his,head into the pavement, Zimmerman shot him, and subsequently we were treated to a picture of the evil little burglar looking like a choir boy and people elbowing each other out of the way to pretend he was an innocent little saint, never mind he was suspended from school for assaulting a bus driver, and upon searching his backpack, they discovered a trove of women's jewelry he had no explanation for.
All that drama focused on three inveterate scum bags kept the spotlight away from an ACTUAL case of police abuse, wherein an Ohio Cop shot and killed a pre pubescent Black child in a public park playing with his baby sister, and possessing a toy gun, 30 seconds after exiting his car, and then refused to let the little girl cradle her dead brother...
Which is exactly why I am not just disappointed , but fully pissed off at anyone in any vague way defending this trash.
I just think that isn't the hill to die on, John. Regardless of what his criminal record was, that cop was stupid to keep his knee on his neck for that long. He was no threat at that point. As some have pointed out, perhaps the entire thing was theater. Lots of questionable elements to it. Between habitual offenders like Floyd, and wildly overreacting cops, there are no good guys to root for. Thanks.
You're getting it wrong this time, Don. The cop's knee was not on St. George's neck. The cop's weight was all on the knee that was on the ground while the knee in contact was just in place on the felon's back, just off the shoulder blade, with none of the cop's weight on it..
The leftard's standard line is that the cop was "kneeling on St. George's neck", and that is an obvious lie no matter which video you view. Anyway, I don't know of anyone who is choosing that particular hill to die upon.
I understand the distinction, Ed. Of course, the media will always frame these incidents predictably. Wherever his knee was, it was unnecessary. And stupid, considering he was being filmed. And there are lots of elements to the whole incident that should compel us to question it. What happened to those early reports about Floyd and Chauvin working together at some club as security guards? Clearly, they had some kind of relationship. Why was George's family so disinterested in him? At any rate, it was portrayed as the ultimate "racist" act by cops, and those same "racist" cops let our cities burn in the summer of 2020. Thanks.
All pretty much agreeable, Don. I didn't like to see you repeating that leftard line about a knee on his neck. Those morons all say that Chauvin was "kneeling on Saint George's neck until he died". I never saw the cop's knee touch the asshole's neck even once and I watched every video available at the time.
The biggest fraud of all was the way the autopsy results were withheld in all of the MSM news reports. The official cause of death was respiratory failure due to fentanyl overdose. That wasn't admitted for months by which time cities had burned.
The media and the democrats sometimes put me in the position of defending their victims against ridiculous lies, when the victims are people I wouldn't allow in my yard, such as Trump, or Chauvin. As Little Big Man observed, "Sometimes this world is too ridikuluss a place to live in."
Take the whole post as is meant and realize that he is looking at it from a different perspective than you are. I was a cop for a while and ended up out because of my Serpico type attitude with help from the wonderful guys I worked with. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/the-law-enforcement-growth-industry
I appreciate that, Courageous. Btw, I exchanged some emails with Frank Serpico some years back, trying to get him on my podcast. He's pretty old, and didn't seem to understand the technology. I know he is outraged over the conduct of police, and how little impact on their behavior the hit film "Serpico" had on it. Thanks.
George Floyd should have never been given St status. he was a CRIMINAL from the get go. And his bad attitude caught up with him. I don't believe the kneeling on the neck is what killed him. I need to go back and read the part he posted about Floyd because either I missed something or you're reading into it something that isn't there. Yep, you're reading into it something that simply is not there.
George Floyd had a drug OD. The cops in Mpls. made a mistake. They tried to help GF. They should have just called an ambulance and St. George would have died on the way or at the ER. Mpls. wouldn't have burned if the cops had just been assholes and uncaring in the GF situation.
DJ: Exactly! Keep GF in the cop car and let him OD or take him to the hospital and let him OD there. Don't take him out of the car and then put a knee on him.
Maybe the cops were afraid George was gonna vomit on their cop car seats.
Donald, you need to research into this...it was all faked. There was a real George Floyd who was already dead. His grave exists. That was the second major psy-op planned for the kick -off year (2020) for operation "Take- down America 2.0. Do you actually think something so big happened by chance? The elite were mocking us. "Stay in your homes, cowering in fear, while we let (paid) agitators burn it all down". No six feet apart? Cops grovelling to scum? it was ALL STAGED.
Cops police the public they answer to their masters. Cops have never been on our side, they walk a fine line between a semi-normal person and a psychopath...always in the end they will continue to serve their masters. They are the herders for the local Globalist. Power is their drug and violence lays deep in their hearts.
Bully thug cops is nothing new, but with modern technology we are much more aware of it, and it has definitely gotten worse in recent years. Last time I was summoned to jury duty I wasn't thrilled, in fact resentful. However, by the time I left the courthouse I was feeling damned happy that I was able to be part of a jury that quickly rendered a not guilty verdict, and the visible relief expressed by the accused did my heart good. It was a drunk driving case, and the arresting officer was straight out of central casting for the role of Nazi brownshirt. Blonde, blue-eyed, hair cut high and tight, and so full of self righteousness. It was clear that the arrest had to have been about delivering an arrest quota. The cop laid in wait outside a strip club to arrest any poor schmuck on his way home. Thanks to the dash cam footage, try as he might to convince the jury, we were unable to see any evidence of intoxication. It didn't take we the jury more than five minutes to render a unanimous not guilty verdict. It felt so good to take that little prick down a couple of notches!
I appreciate you sharing your story, Annette. You are right- undoubtedly the prevalence of cell phones and police body cams have exposed what was probably there all along, although I can't believe it was this outrageous. Thanks!
The police were originally created by the oligarchs to use as strikebreakers when the laborers in their sweatshops could no longer bear their situation and to keep the masses away from their exclusive properties and mansions. They were a private force. Obviously, the ruling class swine decided to make the serfs pay for the police under the facade that they are their "protectors." The "To Protect and Serve" on their uniform patches conveniently leaves out "... the Oligarchs & Corporate Fat Cats." In the very few times cops are busted for criminality, they rat all over each other. Omerta does not apply to them. The stats on police crime are skewed because most of it is covered up. In the late 1800s & early 1900s, the 5 points area on NY City harbored one of the most violent, filthy, and poverty stricken slums on earth. The gangs that area spawned were legendary. The largest and toughest were the Gophers, who could put 500 members on the street in a matter of minutes. The leaders had pistols, the rest, clubs, bricks, knives and broken bottles. They did not hesitate to mix it up with the NY City cops, who they regarded as just another rival criminal gang, which they were. The cops would rob and extort businesses, rape, assault, murder, every felony imaginable. Cops, along with the gang members they fought would be maimed and even killed in these street battles. Social Darwinism in full play. Asset forfeiture, which is pure communism in action, further exemplifies why you can wipe your butt with the Bill of Rights. The Police are totally politicized and are subservient to the perverted, Bolshevik mayors and governors in America. They are tantamount to being garbagemen, cleaning up ex post facto. The woman has been raped, the man mugged and robbed, the home burglarized, etc. long before they arrive on the scene. Your average cop couldn't find his socks in the morning without an informant (better known as Snitch) to show him where they are. In truth, the vast majority of cops are not interested in solving crimes but in closing cases, like the prosecutors and the criminal court judges who are invariably former prosecutors themselves. They don't give a tinker's damn if an innocent person gets slammed and caged or even executed by the State. In this system, in essence, you are guilty until proven innocent, the soothing fairy tale of the reverse notwithstanding. A white cop working with a black cop will happily roust a white, a black, or a member of any race provided they are poor and have no "juice" to get back at them. It is a class/caste thing, just like the corrupt legal industry it is an intricate part of. Years ago in my playing days, there was a hot tits and ass bar in this part of Zoo Jersey called "Breathless": Ironically it was adjacent to NJ's fiercest maximum security prison. Our lead singer was a short order cook there. We played there a few times, it was incredible, the girls were the best of their trade. Different groups would periodically book a night there to throw a bachelor party for one of its members, like carpenters, lawyers, plumbers, etc. and cops. Bob, our singer who worked there said that by far the most depraved and out of control group at these bachelor parties was the NJ State Police, allegedly the elite of cop-dom. He said the state troopers would get wildly drunk and try to hurt the girls by shoving hard objects into their private parts. Inevitably, the owner had to call the local cops to protect the girls and try to calm these psychopaths down. I didn't ask, but it's a safe bet there were no arrests or charges brought forth. Must be wonderful to be in a protected class and commit crimes with impunity. This was really fantastic, Don, thank you.
You're welcome, Don. There is a wise adage that states, "Never trust your health to a doctor, your money to a banker, your rights to a lawyer, or your soul to a preacher." They forgot one: Never trust your safety to a cop. Thanks again and keep unleashing Hell.
"It is absolutely astonishing to see just what kind of “public servants,” all of them armed and dangerous, the taxpayers are footing the bill for."
Indeed it is. A great example recently was the cop who slammed a female professor's face into the pavement at Emory University.
It is my contention that this belligerent, overbearing behavior on the part of law enforcement is just what those who have destroyed our 'democracy' want. It sets the stage for the coming martial law—the Deep State rules.
As an aside on that, I saw something disturbing. The head of the philosophy department was being taken away, in cuffs, by a hooded cop. His identification was Atlanta Police, but his uniform looked fairly military, it caught my attention. Do we have foreign cops operating here?
I’m still trying to piece the puzzle together. Apparently those guys that know about that stuff don’t want to encourage a revolution against the state so I’ll probably be left out of the loop.
I just don’t think it’s fair that only ‘smart’ people should have the opportunity to be free from the state. Everyone needs the cryptocracy off of their back, not just the people that know how to read.
I get all that. I learned about it 30 years ago. The bottom line now is that everything is so corrupt and the rules are followed if they favor the overlords. If you go to court and prove to them that 2+2=4 with documentation from mathematicians, their mathematicians say it's 5, you lose the rigged game. This ultimately isn't about the truth. The point I was making further up is don't play the rigged game. Get out into the country and stay away from third world people. It's too late in the game.
If you or me or anyone else gets into any type of traumatic accident, the injections at the hospital emergency rooms are laced with nano bots. If we go to the dentist, the injections are laced with nano bots. The bioweapon is in everything, and they just ruled that they can inject your child with the bioweapon without any permission.
The injection has been out for over 3 years now and still not a single court will even look at the vial contents to prove the nano bots are there, and everybody is just waiting like Trump is gonna do something, while what Trump is really doing is getting everyone to do nothing and acquiesce to the murderers.
Maybe you feel like running away and hiding is the best solution for you because you’re older and have had that mentality when few people knew what is going on, and I don’t blame you for thinking that way. Our communities need the wisdom that comes with age. However, that game is over for us in this generation because there is nowhere to run to. We have more of a chance using the ‘third world’ migrants against the people that are allowing the genocide to continue than we do by running into the boondocks and doing nothing.
I say seed the migrants with the American revolutionary spirit and watch it grow because apparently most Americans don’t care to propagate it within themselves
White people often have the law thrown at them when they resist or defend themselves. The Scott Adams approach is best. There are too many third-world maniacs out there with millions behind them to take their place.
And... they were dumb as dumb can be, yelling at her that she was a fascist!! That they all were and that they were nazis.... they obviously don't know what those words mean.
"And... they were dumb as dumb can be, yelling at her that she was a fascist!! That they all were and that they were nazis.... they obviously don't know what those words mean."
I believe that was protesters calling the police fascists.
You hit on the reason I always implore commentators to stop referring to the police as "law enforcement". Every corrupted society had their version of law enforcement, and the people usually stood by and saluted them. But the "law enforcement" in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union, and Mao's China were the same as we are witnessing here. Only the names have changed. But not to protect the innocent (or the guilty). There is no reason people need to be fined for speeding, or making a right turn on red without coming to a full stop, or their newest major offense to the sensibilities of the highwayman: Staying in the left lane too long while passing. When did it become the rule that the vehicle that's behind you has the right of way?
I'm not going to re-type what you said about civil asset forfeiture, a stain upon every jurisdiction that practices it, because you already said everything about it that needs to be said. Or the stupidity of having SWAT teams all over the nation.
" When did it become the rule that the vehicle that's behind you has the right of way?" And most of the time they are speeding and isn't there a speed limit? The REASON for the SWAT teams is to put fear into our hearts from them. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT VIOLATES THE LAW, THERE IS NO MORE LAW, JUST A FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL.
The whole process of asset forfeiture is mind-boggling. I can't understand how these seizures can be seen as NOT being a taking of property without due process of law, unless, of course hinting that a crime may be involved amounts to "due process".
It actually dates back slightly over 200 years, when the Revenue Cutter Service, the precursor to today's Coast Guard, would occasionally stumble across the beached vessel of some smuggler, sometimes with precious cargo aboard, other times not. The maritime courts ruled that the Government could seize these vessels and any property found therein, as it could be presumed that they were involved in violating the US Customs laws.
"Mission Creep" has since reared its ugly head, as more or less Jean Laffite is outta business. Where it picked up was during Prohibition, where the Carroll doctrine of the cops being able to conduct a warrantless search of an automobile, it's very mobility deemed to constitute an "exigency" of its own, although the Court at the time did caution that Probable Cause, which would have been essential to demonstrate, still had to exist. This was due to the fact that communications tech that we take for granted today simply was unknown, and a magistrate that could rule as to whether a search warrant would be justified would be hours away; the police were forced to either let loose a suspect they didn't have enough evidence to arrest upon, or to wrongfully detain someone, waiting for the warrant, only to find that they had nothing. Of course, which the enforcement of drunk driving laws came also the "search incident to arrest", never mind that if the motorist already showed signs of intoxication sufficient to arrest and take to the station to "blow", then whatever his ride held didn't necessarily have any bearing on the DUI charge. Soon, the DUI issue itself became irrelevant, as the CAF forfeiture statutes began to allow for trivial matters like possession of a single marijuana joint, or even irregularities with the DMV paperwork, but worst of all, making having large sums of cash or other valuables effectively a "crime", subject to immediate seizure. What really became outrageous were the "DUI checkpoints" which had a poor track record of actually snagging drunks, but rather, seemed intended as a pretext to seize property.
I can see seizure of property where there's bona fide probable cause, and holding it while the case is adjudicated. Confiscation ought to only ensue if a conviction is actually secured, IAW due process. This entire legal fiction of the applicable state or the US Government versus, say, "Five Thousand Dollars" or a "2023 Lexus" has got to go.
It has always been that you are to only use the left lanes for passing. But it is all up to their discretion because it is your word against theirs... perhaps we should all have our own cameras on board like they do...
BINGO. But make sure that your camera, if it's Bluetooth-enabled, can upload, via your cell phone, to the "Cloud", or to a hidden small computer like a Raspberry Pi+4 that won't be easily to find and/or steal. The idea, of course, being that corrupt cops can't destroy your video and/or recording device if it'll contradict their narrative.
Allow people to pass has always been the law on the Autobahn, and Illinois had a similar statute when I was there 45 years ago. Don't encourage the Utah speed limit enforcers! (They drive exactly the speed limit or just slightly less in the left lane.)
Well... since Utah has 80mpg speed limit, for the safety of all that should not be exceeded even in the left lane... lol - especially given the lack of mental ability post covid ;).... there are way more frwy accidents in the southern part than there should be... and something happens to semi drivers when they go thru the gorge... there's a semi accident every month!!
The 80 mph limit is only in open, rural areas. The limit in the Gorge (Arizona) is 55 mph. While few people travel at that rate there, speed limit enforcers appear from time to time.
You'd expect the Arizona strip of I-15 to be the "Happy Hunting Ground" for the Arizona Department of "Public Safety", given that probably almost all of those passing don't actually have time to fight a questionable citation from the ADPS given on that Interstate. But given how awesome the Gorge is, I'd say ENJOY the "Double Nickels" and TAKE YOUR TIME, and hope the pigs don't find a BS excuse to mulct you ANYWAY.
Only parts of it are 55... it opens up about half way through. I know this because I'm always trying to get my spouse to slow down and then he points to the increased speed limit signs... arghghg.... doesn't help the stress levels! I do enjoy the European type of off ramps though.... it's a kick to be driving on the left side and have traffic coming at you on the right.
Police brutality, corruption, and incompetence is yet another aspect of our failing government and society. It’s as if everything is denigrating. I suspect it’s all planned by the elite.
Before the prevalence of cell phone video, the public was extremely isolated from the reality of the situation with police violence. Slowly that has changed. There is still a hardcore group that feels no matter what level of violence directed towards innocent people, it is fine, but they too are shrinking. The protests are unveiling the situation even more. It gets worse....
I'm not "backing" nobody but my family. As a family we have never called the police FOR NOTHING. We never needed them. Still don't. For what? To protect me? To advocate for me? To hug me? To make me feel safe? Exactly why? Weak, needy, cowardly people, who live foul, are the ones who need a "911" cop system. At this point they have become nothing more than another revenue generating, private corporation masquerading as "government" that is being currently utilized as an enforcement arm of foreign powers. Ain't nothing gonna happened to me except what All Might God wills.
Again, there is more than enough negative, revealing video evidence to support my position about policing. Too much actually, and it is not a good look for a group "proclaiming" sainthood and societal benevolence. It is not.
Don, here's an example of Australian policing : At an old peoples home the staff rang police because Great Grandmother 95 year old Clare Nowland, who weighed a frail 95 lb and suffered dementia, wouldn't let go of her steak knife. Enter tough huge cop 33 year old Kristian White (unfortunate name) Clare got up and moved slowly toward White on her walking frame. Naturally he tazered her causing her to collapse and fracture her skull and die. What a hero.
I hate to "like" a comment like yours. It is so disgusting that it makes me ill to read it. So Mr tough cop couldn't disarm a 95 YO woman with dementia. What a real pro. You need a whole police force like that. Geezzzzz
The police forces do not need to be overhauled and reformed. They need to be summarily abolished. The taxes funding police forces can then redeployed to private security services. If they cross the line they can be fired and replaced by better one.
Assuming we want to keep police around, the best solution for all this that I've ever read is to make them pay for their own bonds, just like private security officers must do. As it is, government jurisdictions pay out massive amounts of money to cover the damage these goons do. It's not their money so there's no incentive to rein in bad behavior. Bad cops would soon be priced out of business. Free markets work, if allowed to.
Great article on a subject that has always bothered me. Years ago I watched an absolutely obscene and disturbing video of a police officer (via body cam) screaming hysterically at a guy who was on the job doing pest control. The pest control guy had for years used a crossbow as his main tool in killing large rodents but who at the moment with his “encounter” with the psycho cop was not even holding the thing! Apparently, some neighbor had called the police on this guy without checking the prominent signage on the guy’s truck that would have alerted him to the type of service that was being performed. And so, naturally, the pest control guy was shot in the head and instantly killed by the screaming ninny of a cop, leaving behind a wife and baby. And, of course, the murdering cop evaded justice on the argument of self-defense or something.
These Israel-trained domestic thugs are merely extensions of the “defenders of freedom” we call the American military that regularly and ceremoniously invade and terrorize the innocent in other countries and have been doing so for over 100 years. Remember that Israel and now its vassal state of the US do things by the “letter” and never by the “spirit,” so driving 37 mph in 30 mph zone is a violation and demands the full brunt (read: brutal response) of the law, even if you’re a teenage girl. It is consistent with a “conquer the world” mentality that is thoroughly unreasonable and has no limitations and is thus marked by unchecked aggression and violence, the innocent be damned. (It’s the innocent that are “in the way,” after all – cf. Palestine.) The religion and philosophy of brutes, that of "might makes right," is fully in the ascendant, as it necessarily would be in the Iron Age. The only consolation in all this is that these *&^#ers will get theirs in the afterlife, if not sooner, as the Universe is ultimately about Justice. In the meantime, avoid anybody who works for the gov’t, particularly those in uniform.
No offense taken, Donald. I know you have a lot on your plate, and you always have a ton of comments to go through. Your posts get way more comments than any other substack I read. Free speech tends to encourage speech.
Wow, your story reads eerily like the story of Daniel Shaver murdered by Phillip Brailsford for trying to pull his pants up. He was brought up on charges and the evidence against him was with held from the jury so the acquitted the slime. On January 18, 2016, Daniel Leetin Shaver of Granbury, Texas, was fatally shot by police officer Philip Brailsford in the hallway of a La Quinta Inn & Suites hotel in Mesa, Arizona. Police were responding to a report that a rifle had been pointed out of the window of Shaver's hotel room. After the shooting, the rifle, which remained in the room, was determined to be a pellet gun.
Is that the one where he was crawling along the floor or something, and didn't "obey orders" fast enough? I remember a case like that which was particularly egregious. Thanks, Courageous!
Yes, that was the case. He had these words engraved on the ejection port door of his AR 15. "You're Fucked" and that was one of the pieces of evidence the "judge" wouldn't let the jury observe. That case and Kelly Thomas boils my blood. I watched one yesterday where some POS cop arrested a woman walking on her own DRIVEWAY going AWAY from the confrontation and was put in cuffs. I'm not sure what I would do if I ever saw some of these things go down in front of me. I watched one where some Highway Patrol had a black woman on the median and was sitting on top of her and was beating her in the face. Look at what the cops are doing at the protests now at the colleges. No matter what you think of the protesters, they have the RIGHT to do so. And funny thing...it was started and is being propagated among JEWISH STUDENTS! The professor and Jill Stein are heading it up. They are not HAPPY ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN GAZA. And anyone who IS, IS SICK IN THE HEAD.
So many cases like that which should make all Americans irate, Courageous. But don't. And won't. Our criminally corrupt leaders have produced a lazy, stupid, rabble, which lack empathy and critical thinking ability. That's the only way they stay in power. Thanks!
Between the convoluted views that the churches teach about Romans 13 and the government school system that doesn't teach the understanding of "The Law by Frederic Bastiat" and the founding principles, what can we expect except good little communist mentally challenged individuals? BTW.. Hidden History is great. Nice job.
I appreciate hearing that, Courageous. Btw, look for more information here about my upcoming book "American Memory Hole: How the Court Historians Promote Disinformation," which will be published in August, and is essentially Hidden History 3. Thanks!
Oh man, that's it. That's the story I was referring to. And my apologies for getting several facts wrong, as I was in a hurry and relying solely on a poor memory of the details. It was indeed a pellet gun that Shaver used regularly on the job -- although it was clearly not on his person during the encounter with the psychopathic SWAT unit there (as seen in that photo on the linked ACLU article you provided), when they subsequently shot him several times in the head despite his being cooperative and begging for his life. Who shoots someone who is unarmed and begging for his life? Simply incredible.
Those police officers should have been tried for murder, convicted and executed, as AZ still has the death penalty.
Grateful for that link you provided. Not sure I would have been able to find anything on that story, as the specifics of the event were, as I said, foggy in my mind.
Well, when that brain dead jury acquitted the cops who beat homeless Kelly Thomas to death, when the entire murder was captured on videotape, that sent a clear message that, even on the rare occasions when they actually are prosecuted, cops are utterly above the laws they enforce. Thanks, Rob.
I guess you do understand why when the guy defending his RIGHT to own a gun no matter what some psychopath in government says, and only killed four of his assailants that I had said too bad he didn't kill all 8. There were EIGHT armed for all intent, FELONS there to serve an illegal warrant. I was telling my wife that the list of grievances that were given in the Declaration of Independence over the kings infringements PALES to a list we could make up today. I may do a post and comparison list. There is no "law" on the books that doesn't have a victim that is nothing but TYRANNY.
Courageous, the loss of life is always tragic. But you're right- the police were armed and the aggressors. But LE, and society at large, places a greater premium on the lives of police than the lives of average citizens. Remember all those campaigns to make murder of a police officer subject to the death penalty. Not just murder, period. But only with that kind of selected victim. As the conspiracy people say, all that matters is that the brave officers return home safely to their families. Thanks!
Brave officers...that's a oxymoron if I've ever heard one. Right. Well, there's going to be a time when they will be looked and treated the same way the police were treated at Concord Green. I'd say that the time might not be too far away.
Quoting that article: "Shaver and a companion had been ordered out of a hotel room and told to get on the floor. The video shows him being neither hostile nor resistant. On the video you can hear one of the officers screaming, 'If you make a mistake, another mistake, there is a very severe possibility you’re both going to get shot … if you move, we are going to consider that a threat, and we are going to deal with it, and you may not survive it.' The police are screaming that the cost of a mistake is death — what kind of training teaches that as a proper way to deal with people?"
Disgusting. I think you mentioned it earlier, guy received an accidental disability pension, where the "disability" (i.e., mental condition) was the PTSD he "suffered" ("incurred in the performance of the employee's duty") from the Shaver incident. More than just a literal getting away with murder; he was rewarded for it! "Medically retired" (now 33), receives a monthly check of $2,569.21.
Never mind that it's been common over the past 30 or so years for American law enforcement personnel to get "training" from IDF veterans, accustomed to brutalizing Palestinians.
I started to become hyper awake to the police agenda during CONvid. I repeatedly saw citizens in Canada, Australia, Western Europe, etc. getting beaten for not complying with tyranny…you know because this club is for your health. Police report up through politicians and will obey their ZOGs to violate our rights and implement a police state. I keep thinking to myself I want out of this country before the next scamdemic or fake climate change lockdowns come because I will not comply with masking, vaccines, a vax passport to shop and eat, or a restriction on my freedom of movement. I was born free with God given inherent rights and a government will never be the ones who grants me freedom. If only the normie sheep would simply say no we would make it but that is a pipe dream. The only certainty is this country will fall as all empires have and once they do they never come back just as history shows. The only question is what the official date is. I think by 2030 this country is unrecognizable from the state it’s in and the police will be there to execute martial law so that the constitution will be voided even. Think it’s bad now with those jack boot thugs? Just wait until a boot is stomped on your face and you have zero rights because martial law invalidates the constitution. I would not be surprised if there are shoot to kill orders for anyone out after curfew at that point. It’s always the same thing with these Bolsheviks…create emergencies so you will voluntarily relinquish your rights for perceived safety. And when you do you will get neither rights nor safety. But by all means keep voting…red and blue leads to the same tyrannical boot stomp to implement one world communist government care of the zionist central bankers.
My craw runneth over with talk of pipe dreams and sheep. I fear that if enough of us persist in this it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I would propose we focus instead on changing the hearts and minds of the police, military members, and heck, even the sheep. Turns out they are people, too, many of them also with families they would prefer not be beaten or shot.
Will it be easy? Definitely not. Will it be possible? Hard to say, but at least it may give us a chance, whereas endless predictions of inevitable doom probably do not.
To wit, I took our governor to task for his ham-fisted approach to recent student protests in the essay "Whispering Alamo" ...
Will it wake him up? Who knows. But at least if he is made to consider his legacy, his potential impeachment, and the eternal nightmares of ghosts of students dead by his hands, there's a chance it might ... because he is people, too, if you will pardon my awkward abuse of grammar.
I fully understand your frustration and wish you only the best of luck in our epic quest for liberty. Can we marshall our energies toward waking those who will listen? It may be our best shot, hell, our only shot.
Sam Adams said it much better than I ever could ... "It does not take a majority to prevail but rather an irate, tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
Enormous thanks for another great piece, DJ. You have earned the Oracle of Rant moniker yet again.
Another excellent post, hit right out of the park. I completely agree with you.
You wrote:
"Much of what they learn comes from training in Israel." ---- Actually there are Mossad agents involved in the creation of the training curriculum, I'm sure that they do get more training from Mossad in person if they are getting onto a SWAT Team.
The main stream conservative public, I refer to as blind cuckolds of law enforcement, will often support the utterly ignorant "Ossifers" that will say: "Yes sir yes sir three bags full sir." When ordered to "force vaccinate" someone. Or beat the hell out of someone. Or take a house from someone who is a rightful owner. Oh, I'm sure that will never happen here (it's America).
Anyone awake these days knows that most of the enforcement personnel are dangerously low on IQ, or are too young or naive to resist Unlawful orders. Yet, as obedient as these three year olds are, they too have their names on an elimination list, it's just much further down than our names; they won't notice as they are souped up on adrenaline that comes from beating a 16 year old.
Resistance to Tyranny is obligatory for life to thrive, for civilization to exist.
To comply with Tyranny is an effortless act.
To resist Tyranny takes decisive courage;
Both of these have consequences--- choose your consequence.
It's a fact that there are a tiny number of Parasites that seem to NEVER experience these consequences.
after watching troopers beating up college girls I had zero sympathy for the 4 cops killed today trying to takes guns away. the fake right wing bootlickers are worse then the white hating communists who are honest at least.
the fake right wing are the dumbest people in the country due to their cowardice dumber then inner city blacks. after watching cops beating people for not having masks and kneeling during blm and pantifa riots they are still to retarded to see that cops work for white hating communists. If I had the power the tex-ass troopers would be crucified like the Romans did to Spartacus's army along side the interstate. the US cops and military along with the israeli military biggest cowards in human history posing as warriors but only make war on defenseless people
It is hard to find sympathy for them, SPQR70AD. I do feel bad for the good ones, who are stuck in a terrible situation. Thanks.
After all, the guy was exercising his 2nd amendment rights that were being infringed upon. I was thinking the same thing except that it was too bad that all 8 didn't die. I'm sick of it. Most of them are criminals in uniforms. Psychopathic control freak PARASITES. Useless. Who needs them? They are there AFTER the fact 99% of the time unless the fact happens to be someone not wearing a mask that they slam to the ground for disobeying some bullshit order given by another psychopathic control freak called a politician.
I don't wish death on anybody, Courageous, but I understand your point. I have never heard of a cop stopping a violent crime before it happened. Except in Hollywood. Thanks.
SPQR: The American Revolution began at Concord when the British troops came to take the colonist's guns and ammo. The Revolution began over gun rights, not taxes or warrantless searches of colonist's homes (though that really pissed of Americans.)
It was when the British came for the guns that the shooting began.
And maybe that war just started. Especially after what they did to Bryan Malinowski because he hadn't paid $200 for a federal firearms license. Absolutely SICKENING.
https://www.courageouslion.us/p/thanks-to-all-tyrants-friends-atf and then there was Randy Weaver. Read about my personal interaction with him. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/sammy-used-to-love-homegrown-green
The death of these 4 cops will just bring more gun control down upon us... I expect a false flag type of terrorist attack a la Vegas so that they feel justified doing a gun round up. Good luck with that...
I'm still trying to figure out what happened. They say they were serving a warrant for "a suspect in possession of a firearm by a convicted felon." Does that mean that a convicted felon gave somebody his gun. Or does that mean a felon still possessed a firearm? And since when can somebody be indefinitely detained as "a person of interest"?
What four cops were killed while trying to take guns from somebody? I'd like a link to the story if possible. Thanks, Ed.
the guy was a felon that is why nobody cares. I say what he did is why the 2nd amendment was written.
google 4 cops killed in Charlotte
thru the 90's into the 2000's, I often drove a 30 mile or so countryside stretch of highway from the city to the coast. every year there seemed more and more folks pulled aside, yanked from their vehicles, sometimes in handcuffs, as the officers poured thru their vehicles.
betting that many of these searches were warrant-less, of course literally but also figuratively
They are encouraged to do this by their superiors, jwslaw. They can deny it all they want, but there is definitely a quota of arrests and tickets they are required to meet each month. Thanks.
The for profit system in action? Definitely seems like one aspect of society where profit driven motive is a poor fit.
"Profit," in the economic sense (well, the Austrian economic sense), presupposes the voluntary nature of the exchange. Both sides "profit." It should be called "policing for plunder" or just "pillaging."
That probably is a more accurate description, Ricky. Thanks!
Thank you for writing things worth reading.
Thanks, Ricky!
Yes, this is one case where profit is a big motivating factor. Thanks, jwslaw.
So is the military funding for countries that we should not be funding, whose names that I won't mention here.
The military is a much bigger profit system in action than the police and a VERY poor fit!
I used to see the same thing in trips across Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Hapless families sitting on the ground while cops tossed their luggage all over the place. The drug couriers were probably laughing as they drove by.
Wow, that St George BS is unworthy of you. He didn't just have a " criminal record-- he could hang with any cop you mentioned for unjustified viciousness.
He assaulted for extortion a pregnant woman.
Then there was the BS in the media about minimizing Counterfeiting as a crime, and the irony that yes, traditionally, Counterfeiting IS a Capital offense...
The idea he may have innocently passed the bill is possible, but for a felonious drug addict in constant contact with other felons, it is not likely.
Then we hear the constant refrain--" 9 Minutes! Such a horrific abuse"!
With no vague mention of the 18 minutes of him kicking and resisting cops half his size they endured prior to finally getting control. Then there is his continual " I can't breathe" from the very beginning of the struggle in which he was able to resist multiple cops for 18 freakin' minutes with nary a break for a desperately needed breath.
But they should have known this looney tunes was no longer crying wolf once he was subdued?
Why? And don't say because of his restraint.
There was no compromise or injury from his restraint that killed him, it was standard protocol and the only honest autopsy stated flatly: he OD'd, and was suppressed and replaced with one more congenial to their pre determined narrative.
Even the bit about being on his neck is dubious, and widely attributed to awkward angle of the cell phone video.
I am not an expert, but people who are insist no one was actually on his neck.
, The coroner, author of the first suppressed autopsy said after being challenged that without doubt, if he has died at home, he would absolutely without hesitation, have ruled it a pure overdose death.
If Floyd is not a hill to die on for Cop Supporters, he is a much worse hill for Cop Critics.
It reminds me of all the BS surrounding the giant fat ass selling cigarettes in NYC. Whether one is a fan of cigarette taxes or not, he knew very well his business was illegal, and kihe Floyd, tried to use his size to overcome the cops arresting him, even his wife, post mortem said he was a bullying asshole who should have complied, or better yet, heeded his 800th warning about something he well knew was illegal before he did it the first time.
Then there was the bullying overgrown Black guy in St Louis, who Strong Arm robbed a convenience store and then tried to disarm a cop and got shot for his trouble. You remember, " Hands Up, Don't Shoot", pure bullshit that never happened, but fueled proto BLM vicious violence and mayhem.
Then there was the budding gangster Trayvon Martin, who very likely was indeed casing a home for burglary when he caught the attention of Zimmerman. When he assaulted Zimmerman, smashing his,head into the pavement, Zimmerman shot him, and subsequently we were treated to a picture of the evil little burglar looking like a choir boy and people elbowing each other out of the way to pretend he was an innocent little saint, never mind he was suspended from school for assaulting a bus driver, and upon searching his backpack, they discovered a trove of women's jewelry he had no explanation for.
All that drama focused on three inveterate scum bags kept the spotlight away from an ACTUAL case of police abuse, wherein an Ohio Cop shot and killed a pre pubescent Black child in a public park playing with his baby sister, and possessing a toy gun, 30 seconds after exiting his car, and then refused to let the little girl cradle her dead brother...
Which is exactly why I am not just disappointed , but fully pissed off at anyone in any vague way defending this trash.
I just think that isn't the hill to die on, John. Regardless of what his criminal record was, that cop was stupid to keep his knee on his neck for that long. He was no threat at that point. As some have pointed out, perhaps the entire thing was theater. Lots of questionable elements to it. Between habitual offenders like Floyd, and wildly overreacting cops, there are no good guys to root for. Thanks.
You're getting it wrong this time, Don. The cop's knee was not on St. George's neck. The cop's weight was all on the knee that was on the ground while the knee in contact was just in place on the felon's back, just off the shoulder blade, with none of the cop's weight on it..
The leftard's standard line is that the cop was "kneeling on St. George's neck", and that is an obvious lie no matter which video you view. Anyway, I don't know of anyone who is choosing that particular hill to die upon.
I understand the distinction, Ed. Of course, the media will always frame these incidents predictably. Wherever his knee was, it was unnecessary. And stupid, considering he was being filmed. And there are lots of elements to the whole incident that should compel us to question it. What happened to those early reports about Floyd and Chauvin working together at some club as security guards? Clearly, they had some kind of relationship. Why was George's family so disinterested in him? At any rate, it was portrayed as the ultimate "racist" act by cops, and those same "racist" cops let our cities burn in the summer of 2020. Thanks.
All pretty much agreeable, Don. I didn't like to see you repeating that leftard line about a knee on his neck. Those morons all say that Chauvin was "kneeling on Saint George's neck until he died". I never saw the cop's knee touch the asshole's neck even once and I watched every video available at the time.
The biggest fraud of all was the way the autopsy results were withheld in all of the MSM news reports. The official cause of death was respiratory failure due to fentanyl overdose. That wasn't admitted for months by which time cities had burned.
The media and the democrats sometimes put me in the position of defending their victims against ridiculous lies, when the victims are people I wouldn't allow in my yard, such as Trump, or Chauvin. As Little Big Man observed, "Sometimes this world is too ridikuluss a place to live in."
Theater.
Take the whole post as is meant and realize that he is looking at it from a different perspective than you are. I was a cop for a while and ended up out because of my Serpico type attitude with help from the wonderful guys I worked with. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/the-law-enforcement-growth-industry
I appreciate that, Courageous. Btw, I exchanged some emails with Frank Serpico some years back, trying to get him on my podcast. He's pretty old, and didn't seem to understand the technology. I know he is outraged over the conduct of police, and how little impact on their behavior the hit film "Serpico" had on it. Thanks.
I did take the whole post as intended. I specifically did not agree that the Floyd narrative was an integral part of a whole, or a truth.
He expressed his view and I expressed mine.
George Floyd should have never been given St status. he was a CRIMINAL from the get go. And his bad attitude caught up with him. I don't believe the kneeling on the neck is what killed him. I need to go back and read the part he posted about Floyd because either I missed something or you're reading into it something that isn't there. Yep, you're reading into it something that simply is not there.
George Floyd had a drug OD. The cops in Mpls. made a mistake. They tried to help GF. They should have just called an ambulance and St. George would have died on the way or at the ER. Mpls. wouldn't have burned if the cops had just been assholes and uncaring in the GF situation.
I understand, Timmy. It was the knee on the neck, for much longer than it needed to be, and the media's predictable focus on that. Thanks.
DJ: Exactly! Keep GF in the cop car and let him OD or take him to the hospital and let him OD there. Don't take him out of the car and then put a knee on him.
Maybe the cops were afraid George was gonna vomit on their cop car seats.
It was just such a bad look, regardless of how it was misrepresented, Timmy. They gave them the perfect ammo for their "racist" claims. Thanks.
Donald, you need to research into this...it was all faked. There was a real George Floyd who was already dead. His grave exists. That was the second major psy-op planned for the kick -off year (2020) for operation "Take- down America 2.0. Do you actually think something so big happened by chance? The elite were mocking us. "Stay in your homes, cowering in fear, while we let (paid) agitators burn it all down". No six feet apart? Cops grovelling to scum? it was ALL STAGED.
It wouldn't surprise me, Kris. At this point, it's hard to believe that anything isn't fake. Thanks.
DJ: Cops aren't known for their intelligence.
They dump those with an IQ over 90.
Cops police the public they answer to their masters. Cops have never been on our side, they walk a fine line between a semi-normal person and a psychopath...always in the end they will continue to serve their masters. They are the herders for the local Globalist. Power is their drug and violence lays deep in their hearts.
Nicely put, liam. Thanks.
Bully thug cops is nothing new, but with modern technology we are much more aware of it, and it has definitely gotten worse in recent years. Last time I was summoned to jury duty I wasn't thrilled, in fact resentful. However, by the time I left the courthouse I was feeling damned happy that I was able to be part of a jury that quickly rendered a not guilty verdict, and the visible relief expressed by the accused did my heart good. It was a drunk driving case, and the arresting officer was straight out of central casting for the role of Nazi brownshirt. Blonde, blue-eyed, hair cut high and tight, and so full of self righteousness. It was clear that the arrest had to have been about delivering an arrest quota. The cop laid in wait outside a strip club to arrest any poor schmuck on his way home. Thanks to the dash cam footage, try as he might to convince the jury, we were unable to see any evidence of intoxication. It didn't take we the jury more than five minutes to render a unanimous not guilty verdict. It felt so good to take that little prick down a couple of notches!
I appreciate you sharing your story, Annette. You are right- undoubtedly the prevalence of cell phones and police body cams have exposed what was probably there all along, although I can't believe it was this outrageous. Thanks!
you are confusing Brownshirts with the Cheka / NKVD
The police were originally created by the oligarchs to use as strikebreakers when the laborers in their sweatshops could no longer bear their situation and to keep the masses away from their exclusive properties and mansions. They were a private force. Obviously, the ruling class swine decided to make the serfs pay for the police under the facade that they are their "protectors." The "To Protect and Serve" on their uniform patches conveniently leaves out "... the Oligarchs & Corporate Fat Cats." In the very few times cops are busted for criminality, they rat all over each other. Omerta does not apply to them. The stats on police crime are skewed because most of it is covered up. In the late 1800s & early 1900s, the 5 points area on NY City harbored one of the most violent, filthy, and poverty stricken slums on earth. The gangs that area spawned were legendary. The largest and toughest were the Gophers, who could put 500 members on the street in a matter of minutes. The leaders had pistols, the rest, clubs, bricks, knives and broken bottles. They did not hesitate to mix it up with the NY City cops, who they regarded as just another rival criminal gang, which they were. The cops would rob and extort businesses, rape, assault, murder, every felony imaginable. Cops, along with the gang members they fought would be maimed and even killed in these street battles. Social Darwinism in full play. Asset forfeiture, which is pure communism in action, further exemplifies why you can wipe your butt with the Bill of Rights. The Police are totally politicized and are subservient to the perverted, Bolshevik mayors and governors in America. They are tantamount to being garbagemen, cleaning up ex post facto. The woman has been raped, the man mugged and robbed, the home burglarized, etc. long before they arrive on the scene. Your average cop couldn't find his socks in the morning without an informant (better known as Snitch) to show him where they are. In truth, the vast majority of cops are not interested in solving crimes but in closing cases, like the prosecutors and the criminal court judges who are invariably former prosecutors themselves. They don't give a tinker's damn if an innocent person gets slammed and caged or even executed by the State. In this system, in essence, you are guilty until proven innocent, the soothing fairy tale of the reverse notwithstanding. A white cop working with a black cop will happily roust a white, a black, or a member of any race provided they are poor and have no "juice" to get back at them. It is a class/caste thing, just like the corrupt legal industry it is an intricate part of. Years ago in my playing days, there was a hot tits and ass bar in this part of Zoo Jersey called "Breathless": Ironically it was adjacent to NJ's fiercest maximum security prison. Our lead singer was a short order cook there. We played there a few times, it was incredible, the girls were the best of their trade. Different groups would periodically book a night there to throw a bachelor party for one of its members, like carpenters, lawyers, plumbers, etc. and cops. Bob, our singer who worked there said that by far the most depraved and out of control group at these bachelor parties was the NJ State Police, allegedly the elite of cop-dom. He said the state troopers would get wildly drunk and try to hurt the girls by shoving hard objects into their private parts. Inevitably, the owner had to call the local cops to protect the girls and try to calm these psychopaths down. I didn't ask, but it's a safe bet there were no arrests or charges brought forth. Must be wonderful to be in a protected class and commit crimes with impunity. This was really fantastic, Don, thank you.
Great post, as always, Hereticdrummer. Thanks!
You're welcome, Don. There is a wise adage that states, "Never trust your health to a doctor, your money to a banker, your rights to a lawyer, or your soul to a preacher." They forgot one: Never trust your safety to a cop. Thanks again and keep unleashing Hell.
"It is absolutely astonishing to see just what kind of “public servants,” all of them armed and dangerous, the taxpayers are footing the bill for."
Indeed it is. A great example recently was the cop who slammed a female professor's face into the pavement at Emory University.
It is my contention that this belligerent, overbearing behavior on the part of law enforcement is just what those who have destroyed our 'democracy' want. It sets the stage for the coming martial law—the Deep State rules.
I think they reflect the mentality of those they are "protecting," Realist. That certainly isn't the public. Thanks!
As an aside on that, I saw something disturbing. The head of the philosophy department was being taken away, in cuffs, by a hooded cop. His identification was Atlanta Police, but his uniform looked fairly military, it caught my attention. Do we have foreign cops operating here?
In Illinois the governor said it’s ok to hire illegals into the police force.
Imagine an illegal alien enforcing unconstitutional ‘law’ on American nationals.
When will white America start fighting back, or is it just the black people that have the heart, guts and brains to save this country?
Why not? They can vote. Again, I ask- what exactly are the benefits of being an American citizen? Thanks, theylivehomocapensis.
American National. It’s not the title of citizen. There’s a big difference.
I’m still learning admiralty law, but apparently American nationals don’t need a drivers license but citizens do. Among many other things
Wow. American National sounds better. How do we sign up? Thanks!
I’m still trying to piece the puzzle together. Apparently those guys that know about that stuff don’t want to encourage a revolution against the state so I’ll probably be left out of the loop.
I just don’t think it’s fair that only ‘smart’ people should have the opportunity to be free from the state. Everyone needs the cryptocracy off of their back, not just the people that know how to read.
I get all that. I learned about it 30 years ago. The bottom line now is that everything is so corrupt and the rules are followed if they favor the overlords. If you go to court and prove to them that 2+2=4 with documentation from mathematicians, their mathematicians say it's 5, you lose the rigged game. This ultimately isn't about the truth. The point I was making further up is don't play the rigged game. Get out into the country and stay away from third world people. It's too late in the game.
I respect your opinion but I also disagree.
If you or me or anyone else gets into any type of traumatic accident, the injections at the hospital emergency rooms are laced with nano bots. If we go to the dentist, the injections are laced with nano bots. The bioweapon is in everything, and they just ruled that they can inject your child with the bioweapon without any permission.
The injection has been out for over 3 years now and still not a single court will even look at the vial contents to prove the nano bots are there, and everybody is just waiting like Trump is gonna do something, while what Trump is really doing is getting everyone to do nothing and acquiesce to the murderers.
Maybe you feel like running away and hiding is the best solution for you because you’re older and have had that mentality when few people knew what is going on, and I don’t blame you for thinking that way. Our communities need the wisdom that comes with age. However, that game is over for us in this generation because there is nowhere to run to. We have more of a chance using the ‘third world’ migrants against the people that are allowing the genocide to continue than we do by running into the boondocks and doing nothing.
I say seed the migrants with the American revolutionary spirit and watch it grow because apparently most Americans don’t care to propagate it within themselves
White people often have the law thrown at them when they resist or defend themselves. The Scott Adams approach is best. There are too many third-world maniacs out there with millions behind them to take their place.
I’m not familiar with the Scott Adams approach, but I don’t see America getting any better unless we stop putting up with the BULLSHTF.
Remember when the Bundies militia were at a standoff with the BLM, and they didn’t go to jail?
Patriots can form militias to protect themselves from the standing armies of the police. We need a balance of power.
Militias to protect themselves and juries to find them not guilty for doing so if it were to come to that.
"Do we have foreign cops operating here?"
I didn't see that, but it wouldn't surprise me.
And... they were dumb as dumb can be, yelling at her that she was a fascist!! That they all were and that they were nazis.... they obviously don't know what those words mean.
"And... they were dumb as dumb can be, yelling at her that she was a fascist!! That they all were and that they were nazis.... they obviously don't know what those words mean."
I believe that was protesters calling the police fascists.
You hit on the reason I always implore commentators to stop referring to the police as "law enforcement". Every corrupted society had their version of law enforcement, and the people usually stood by and saluted them. But the "law enforcement" in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union, and Mao's China were the same as we are witnessing here. Only the names have changed. But not to protect the innocent (or the guilty). There is no reason people need to be fined for speeding, or making a right turn on red without coming to a full stop, or their newest major offense to the sensibilities of the highwayman: Staying in the left lane too long while passing. When did it become the rule that the vehicle that's behind you has the right of way?
I'm not going to re-type what you said about civil asset forfeiture, a stain upon every jurisdiction that practices it, because you already said everything about it that needs to be said. Or the stupidity of having SWAT teams all over the nation.
Great points, Kevin. Thanks!
" When did it become the rule that the vehicle that's behind you has the right of way?" And most of the time they are speeding and isn't there a speed limit? The REASON for the SWAT teams is to put fear into our hearts from them. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT VIOLATES THE LAW, THERE IS NO MORE LAW, JUST A FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL.
Those SWAT teams send quite the message, don't they, Courageous? Thanks!
The whole process of asset forfeiture is mind-boggling. I can't understand how these seizures can be seen as NOT being a taking of property without due process of law, unless, of course hinting that a crime may be involved amounts to "due process".
It actually dates back slightly over 200 years, when the Revenue Cutter Service, the precursor to today's Coast Guard, would occasionally stumble across the beached vessel of some smuggler, sometimes with precious cargo aboard, other times not. The maritime courts ruled that the Government could seize these vessels and any property found therein, as it could be presumed that they were involved in violating the US Customs laws.
"Mission Creep" has since reared its ugly head, as more or less Jean Laffite is outta business. Where it picked up was during Prohibition, where the Carroll doctrine of the cops being able to conduct a warrantless search of an automobile, it's very mobility deemed to constitute an "exigency" of its own, although the Court at the time did caution that Probable Cause, which would have been essential to demonstrate, still had to exist. This was due to the fact that communications tech that we take for granted today simply was unknown, and a magistrate that could rule as to whether a search warrant would be justified would be hours away; the police were forced to either let loose a suspect they didn't have enough evidence to arrest upon, or to wrongfully detain someone, waiting for the warrant, only to find that they had nothing. Of course, which the enforcement of drunk driving laws came also the "search incident to arrest", never mind that if the motorist already showed signs of intoxication sufficient to arrest and take to the station to "blow", then whatever his ride held didn't necessarily have any bearing on the DUI charge. Soon, the DUI issue itself became irrelevant, as the CAF forfeiture statutes began to allow for trivial matters like possession of a single marijuana joint, or even irregularities with the DMV paperwork, but worst of all, making having large sums of cash or other valuables effectively a "crime", subject to immediate seizure. What really became outrageous were the "DUI checkpoints" which had a poor track record of actually snagging drunks, but rather, seemed intended as a pretext to seize property.
I can see seizure of property where there's bona fide probable cause, and holding it while the case is adjudicated. Confiscation ought to only ensue if a conviction is actually secured, IAW due process. This entire legal fiction of the applicable state or the US Government versus, say, "Five Thousand Dollars" or a "2023 Lexus" has got to go.
It has always been that you are to only use the left lanes for passing. But it is all up to their discretion because it is your word against theirs... perhaps we should all have our own cameras on board like they do...
BINGO. But make sure that your camera, if it's Bluetooth-enabled, can upload, via your cell phone, to the "Cloud", or to a hidden small computer like a Raspberry Pi+4 that won't be easily to find and/or steal. The idea, of course, being that corrupt cops can't destroy your video and/or recording device if it'll contradict their narrative.
Allow people to pass has always been the law on the Autobahn, and Illinois had a similar statute when I was there 45 years ago. Don't encourage the Utah speed limit enforcers! (They drive exactly the speed limit or just slightly less in the left lane.)
Well... since Utah has 80mpg speed limit, for the safety of all that should not be exceeded even in the left lane... lol - especially given the lack of mental ability post covid ;).... there are way more frwy accidents in the southern part than there should be... and something happens to semi drivers when they go thru the gorge... there's a semi accident every month!!
The 80 mph limit is only in open, rural areas. The limit in the Gorge (Arizona) is 55 mph. While few people travel at that rate there, speed limit enforcers appear from time to time.
You'd expect the Arizona strip of I-15 to be the "Happy Hunting Ground" for the Arizona Department of "Public Safety", given that probably almost all of those passing don't actually have time to fight a questionable citation from the ADPS given on that Interstate. But given how awesome the Gorge is, I'd say ENJOY the "Double Nickels" and TAKE YOUR TIME, and hope the pigs don't find a BS excuse to mulct you ANYWAY.
Only parts of it are 55... it opens up about half way through. I know this because I'm always trying to get my spouse to slow down and then he points to the increased speed limit signs... arghghg.... doesn't help the stress levels! I do enjoy the European type of off ramps though.... it's a kick to be driving on the left side and have traffic coming at you on the right.
Police brutality, corruption, and incompetence is yet another aspect of our failing government and society. It’s as if everything is denigrating. I suspect it’s all planned by the elite.
"I suspect it’s all planned by the elite."
Agreed, see my comment above.
Before the prevalence of cell phone video, the public was extremely isolated from the reality of the situation with police violence. Slowly that has changed. There is still a hardcore group that feels no matter what level of violence directed towards innocent people, it is fine, but they too are shrinking. The protests are unveiling the situation even more. It gets worse....
Exactly, Jean-Baptiste. Thanks.
"Back the 'BLUE' "...until it happens to YOU.
I'm not "backing" nobody but my family. As a family we have never called the police FOR NOTHING. We never needed them. Still don't. For what? To protect me? To advocate for me? To hug me? To make me feel safe? Exactly why? Weak, needy, cowardly people, who live foul, are the ones who need a "911" cop system. At this point they have become nothing more than another revenue generating, private corporation masquerading as "government" that is being currently utilized as an enforcement arm of foreign powers. Ain't nothing gonna happened to me except what All Might God wills.
Again, there is more than enough negative, revealing video evidence to support my position about policing. Too much actually, and it is not a good look for a group "proclaiming" sainthood and societal benevolence. It is not.
Don, here's an example of Australian policing : At an old peoples home the staff rang police because Great Grandmother 95 year old Clare Nowland, who weighed a frail 95 lb and suffered dementia, wouldn't let go of her steak knife. Enter tough huge cop 33 year old Kristian White (unfortunate name) Clare got up and moved slowly toward White on her walking frame. Naturally he tazered her causing her to collapse and fracture her skull and die. What a hero.
It does seem like your society unfortunately mirrors ours, Stefatanus. Thanks.
I hate to "like" a comment like yours. It is so disgusting that it makes me ill to read it. So Mr tough cop couldn't disarm a 95 YO woman with dementia. What a real pro. You need a whole police force like that. Geezzzzz
The police forces do not need to be overhauled and reformed. They need to be summarily abolished. The taxes funding police forces can then redeployed to private security services. If they cross the line they can be fired and replaced by better one.
EXACTLY! And we could also have militia members everywhere to help with REAL crimes.
I can't argue with you, Gandalph56. Thanks.
Assuming we want to keep police around, the best solution for all this that I've ever read is to make them pay for their own bonds, just like private security officers must do. As it is, government jurisdictions pay out massive amounts of money to cover the damage these goons do. It's not their money so there's no incentive to rein in bad behavior. Bad cops would soon be priced out of business. Free markets work, if allowed to.
Great article on a subject that has always bothered me. Years ago I watched an absolutely obscene and disturbing video of a police officer (via body cam) screaming hysterically at a guy who was on the job doing pest control. The pest control guy had for years used a crossbow as his main tool in killing large rodents but who at the moment with his “encounter” with the psycho cop was not even holding the thing! Apparently, some neighbor had called the police on this guy without checking the prominent signage on the guy’s truck that would have alerted him to the type of service that was being performed. And so, naturally, the pest control guy was shot in the head and instantly killed by the screaming ninny of a cop, leaving behind a wife and baby. And, of course, the murdering cop evaded justice on the argument of self-defense or something.
These Israel-trained domestic thugs are merely extensions of the “defenders of freedom” we call the American military that regularly and ceremoniously invade and terrorize the innocent in other countries and have been doing so for over 100 years. Remember that Israel and now its vassal state of the US do things by the “letter” and never by the “spirit,” so driving 37 mph in 30 mph zone is a violation and demands the full brunt (read: brutal response) of the law, even if you’re a teenage girl. It is consistent with a “conquer the world” mentality that is thoroughly unreasonable and has no limitations and is thus marked by unchecked aggression and violence, the innocent be damned. (It’s the innocent that are “in the way,” after all – cf. Palestine.) The religion and philosophy of brutes, that of "might makes right," is fully in the ascendant, as it necessarily would be in the Iron Age. The only consolation in all this is that these *&^#ers will get theirs in the afterlife, if not sooner, as the Universe is ultimately about Justice. In the meantime, avoid anybody who works for the gov’t, particularly those in uniform.
I appreciate the kind words, Rob, and thanks for sharing that story.
Neighborhood Karens are the accessory to cop murder, in many of these cases. I hate Karens almost as much as I hate cops.
Sorry, I initially typed "Karen" in my reply, Kris. You're certainly no Karen! Thanks.
No offense taken, Donald. I know you have a lot on your plate, and you always have a ton of comments to go through. Your posts get way more comments than any other substack I read. Free speech tends to encourage speech.
They certainly enable the cops, Kris. Thanks.
Wow, your story reads eerily like the story of Daniel Shaver murdered by Phillip Brailsford for trying to pull his pants up. He was brought up on charges and the evidence against him was with held from the jury so the acquitted the slime. On January 18, 2016, Daniel Leetin Shaver of Granbury, Texas, was fatally shot by police officer Philip Brailsford in the hallway of a La Quinta Inn & Suites hotel in Mesa, Arizona. Police were responding to a report that a rifle had been pointed out of the window of Shaver's hotel room. After the shooting, the rifle, which remained in the room, was determined to be a pellet gun.
https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/youre-fucked-acquittal-officer-brailsford-and
Is that the one where he was crawling along the floor or something, and didn't "obey orders" fast enough? I remember a case like that which was particularly egregious. Thanks, Courageous!
Yes, that was the case. He had these words engraved on the ejection port door of his AR 15. "You're Fucked" and that was one of the pieces of evidence the "judge" wouldn't let the jury observe. That case and Kelly Thomas boils my blood. I watched one yesterday where some POS cop arrested a woman walking on her own DRIVEWAY going AWAY from the confrontation and was put in cuffs. I'm not sure what I would do if I ever saw some of these things go down in front of me. I watched one where some Highway Patrol had a black woman on the median and was sitting on top of her and was beating her in the face. Look at what the cops are doing at the protests now at the colleges. No matter what you think of the protesters, they have the RIGHT to do so. And funny thing...it was started and is being propagated among JEWISH STUDENTS! The professor and Jill Stein are heading it up. They are not HAPPY ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN GAZA. And anyone who IS, IS SICK IN THE HEAD.
So many cases like that which should make all Americans irate, Courageous. But don't. And won't. Our criminally corrupt leaders have produced a lazy, stupid, rabble, which lack empathy and critical thinking ability. That's the only way they stay in power. Thanks!
Between the convoluted views that the churches teach about Romans 13 and the government school system that doesn't teach the understanding of "The Law by Frederic Bastiat" and the founding principles, what can we expect except good little communist mentally challenged individuals? BTW.. Hidden History is great. Nice job.
I appreciate hearing that, Courageous. Btw, look for more information here about my upcoming book "American Memory Hole: How the Court Historians Promote Disinformation," which will be published in August, and is essentially Hidden History 3. Thanks!
Oh man, that's it. That's the story I was referring to. And my apologies for getting several facts wrong, as I was in a hurry and relying solely on a poor memory of the details. It was indeed a pellet gun that Shaver used regularly on the job -- although it was clearly not on his person during the encounter with the psychopathic SWAT unit there (as seen in that photo on the linked ACLU article you provided), when they subsequently shot him several times in the head despite his being cooperative and begging for his life. Who shoots someone who is unarmed and begging for his life? Simply incredible.
Those police officers should have been tried for murder, convicted and executed, as AZ still has the death penalty.
Grateful for that link you provided. Not sure I would have been able to find anything on that story, as the specifics of the event were, as I said, foggy in my mind.
Well, when that brain dead jury acquitted the cops who beat homeless Kelly Thomas to death, when the entire murder was captured on videotape, that sent a clear message that, even on the rare occasions when they actually are prosecuted, cops are utterly above the laws they enforce. Thanks, Rob.
I guess you do understand why when the guy defending his RIGHT to own a gun no matter what some psychopath in government says, and only killed four of his assailants that I had said too bad he didn't kill all 8. There were EIGHT armed for all intent, FELONS there to serve an illegal warrant. I was telling my wife that the list of grievances that were given in the Declaration of Independence over the kings infringements PALES to a list we could make up today. I may do a post and comparison list. There is no "law" on the books that doesn't have a victim that is nothing but TYRANNY.
Courageous, the loss of life is always tragic. But you're right- the police were armed and the aggressors. But LE, and society at large, places a greater premium on the lives of police than the lives of average citizens. Remember all those campaigns to make murder of a police officer subject to the death penalty. Not just murder, period. But only with that kind of selected victim. As the conspiracy people say, all that matters is that the brave officers return home safely to their families. Thanks!
Brave officers...that's a oxymoron if I've ever heard one. Right. Well, there's going to be a time when they will be looked and treated the same way the police were treated at Concord Green. I'd say that the time might not be too far away.
Quoting that article: "Shaver and a companion had been ordered out of a hotel room and told to get on the floor. The video shows him being neither hostile nor resistant. On the video you can hear one of the officers screaming, 'If you make a mistake, another mistake, there is a very severe possibility you’re both going to get shot … if you move, we are going to consider that a threat, and we are going to deal with it, and you may not survive it.' The police are screaming that the cost of a mistake is death — what kind of training teaches that as a proper way to deal with people?"
Thank that is bad...read this for your morning reason to go puke out your breakfast. https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/after-murder-acquittal-mesa-ex-cop-philip-brailsford-made-a-pension-deal
Disgusting. I think you mentioned it earlier, guy received an accidental disability pension, where the "disability" (i.e., mental condition) was the PTSD he "suffered" ("incurred in the performance of the employee's duty") from the Shaver incident. More than just a literal getting away with murder; he was rewarded for it! "Medically retired" (now 33), receives a monthly check of $2,569.21.
Never mind that it's been common over the past 30 or so years for American law enforcement personnel to get "training" from IDF veterans, accustomed to brutalizing Palestinians.
I started to become hyper awake to the police agenda during CONvid. I repeatedly saw citizens in Canada, Australia, Western Europe, etc. getting beaten for not complying with tyranny…you know because this club is for your health. Police report up through politicians and will obey their ZOGs to violate our rights and implement a police state. I keep thinking to myself I want out of this country before the next scamdemic or fake climate change lockdowns come because I will not comply with masking, vaccines, a vax passport to shop and eat, or a restriction on my freedom of movement. I was born free with God given inherent rights and a government will never be the ones who grants me freedom. If only the normie sheep would simply say no we would make it but that is a pipe dream. The only certainty is this country will fall as all empires have and once they do they never come back just as history shows. The only question is what the official date is. I think by 2030 this country is unrecognizable from the state it’s in and the police will be there to execute martial law so that the constitution will be voided even. Think it’s bad now with those jack boot thugs? Just wait until a boot is stomped on your face and you have zero rights because martial law invalidates the constitution. I would not be surprised if there are shoot to kill orders for anyone out after curfew at that point. It’s always the same thing with these Bolsheviks…create emergencies so you will voluntarily relinquish your rights for perceived safety. And when you do you will get neither rights nor safety. But by all means keep voting…red and blue leads to the same tyrannical boot stomp to implement one world communist government care of the zionist central bankers.
Constitution? WHAT Constitution? https://www.courageouslion.us/p/constitution
My craw runneth over with talk of pipe dreams and sheep. I fear that if enough of us persist in this it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I would propose we focus instead on changing the hearts and minds of the police, military members, and heck, even the sheep. Turns out they are people, too, many of them also with families they would prefer not be beaten or shot.
Will it be easy? Definitely not. Will it be possible? Hard to say, but at least it may give us a chance, whereas endless predictions of inevitable doom probably do not.
To wit, I took our governor to task for his ham-fisted approach to recent student protests in the essay "Whispering Alamo" ...
https://open.substack.com/pub/doc115/p/whispering-alamo?r=18tk5o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Will it wake him up? Who knows. But at least if he is made to consider his legacy, his potential impeachment, and the eternal nightmares of ghosts of students dead by his hands, there's a chance it might ... because he is people, too, if you will pardon my awkward abuse of grammar.
I fully understand your frustration and wish you only the best of luck in our epic quest for liberty. Can we marshall our energies toward waking those who will listen? It may be our best shot, hell, our only shot.
Sam Adams said it much better than I ever could ... "It does not take a majority to prevail but rather an irate, tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
Enormous thanks for another great piece, DJ. You have earned the Oracle of Rant moniker yet again.

I appreciate hearing that, J. Lee. Thanks!
They are people, but with a terrible genetic defect. They have no empathy. That part of their brain doesn't work the same way as someone who does. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/problem-psychopathic-control-freaks
That genetic defect makes them VERY dangerous and unstable in all of their ways.
Of course ... they are the people we are fighting against, not with. I like to call them the enemy, just for fun ;-)
They certainly were instrumental in enforcing the unconstitutional lockdown here, and all over the world, Right Side. Thanks!
Another excellent post, hit right out of the park. I completely agree with you.
You wrote:
"Much of what they learn comes from training in Israel." ---- Actually there are Mossad agents involved in the creation of the training curriculum, I'm sure that they do get more training from Mossad in person if they are getting onto a SWAT Team.
The main stream conservative public, I refer to as blind cuckolds of law enforcement, will often support the utterly ignorant "Ossifers" that will say: "Yes sir yes sir three bags full sir." When ordered to "force vaccinate" someone. Or beat the hell out of someone. Or take a house from someone who is a rightful owner. Oh, I'm sure that will never happen here (it's America).
Anyone awake these days knows that most of the enforcement personnel are dangerously low on IQ, or are too young or naive to resist Unlawful orders. Yet, as obedient as these three year olds are, they too have their names on an elimination list, it's just much further down than our names; they won't notice as they are souped up on adrenaline that comes from beating a 16 year old.
Resistance to Tyranny is obligatory for life to thrive, for civilization to exist.
To comply with Tyranny is an effortless act.
To resist Tyranny takes decisive courage;
Both of these have consequences--- choose your consequence.
It's a fact that there are a tiny number of Parasites that seem to NEVER experience these consequences.
I appreciate the kind words, Nefahotep. Thanks!
