SSCC From Across the Pond…

So OldNFO sent me a SSCC candidate but this one’s from across the pond.  I don’t normally do them from out of the country but given the serious nature of this case the the prevalence of gun control in “Formerly” Great Britain I figured go ahead and include this one.

A forensic science graduate says her life was made a misery after she was allegedly harassed by police following a split from her PC boyfriend.

Katie Bowman, who has never been convicted of a crime, claims police interest in her – which saw her stopped 70 times for suspected offences ranging from drink-driving to assault – meant she could ‘barely leave the house’.

The 24-year-old alleges she was targeted over 28 months by Thames Valley Police officers from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, after splitting from Alexander Ash.

Go read the whole story.  It’s obvious that the a member of the state is using his position to retaliate against her.  The worst part is, she has no way to defend herself.

Because when you’re girlfriend breaks up with you, make her life a living hell that way she’ll regret every minute of it.

SSCC Lakeland

Authorities are investigating a widespread sex scandal involving nearly a dozen police officers in one Florida city after a civilian crime analyst detailed trysts with the men in police and fire stations, patrol cars, motels and even in a parking lot after a memorial service for a slain officer.

Sue Eberle, 37, has told officials that she had consensual and sometimes coerced sex with the officers and a firefighter, and that she once was propositioned by a city worker in Lakeland.

It happened both on and off duty and most disturbingly she was pressured by some supervisors.  Go read the story, to the end, there’s a reason it’s on the count and my blood pressure is through the roof.

Because a sign of morality and character is taking advantage of a previously abused woman.

SSCC Manchester

A veteran Manchester police officer was arrested Tuesday and charged with assault on Tuesday, stemming from a domestic-related incident at his Hooksett home in April, Hooksett police said.

Soucy is a Manchester police patrolman and will be placed on modified working conditions, said Assistant Chief Nick Willard. Such conditions typically mirror bail restrictions, and Willard said police must review the bail restrictions before he could discuss details of Soucy’s work limitations.

Interesting, most places give their officers a paid vacation due to the issues involved given he’s been charge and awaiting trial.  Well given the Lautenberg Amendment you can be sure he’ll still have a gun while on duty!

Because when you’re a cop, you get to keep your guns when you beat your significant other unlike everyone else, because you’re special.

SSCC Quincy

Via JayG comes this wonderful tale.

QUINCY, Mass. —The attorney for a Quincy police captain charged with domestic assault and battery against his estranged, pregnant wife said Capt. Michael J. Miller "blanket denies" the allegation.

According to the Patriot Ledger, Quincy defense attorney Jack McGlone also said Miller’s wife declined to press charges when she first contacted police in Plymouth, where she now lives.

Had that been anyone else on this earth they would have crucified him but this one’s “anointed” so we can’t have the law being used against our special people now can we.  I think Jay put it best:

Right, it wouldn’t have been an issue at all. Because the cops would have come to the house, taken him out at gunpoint, confiscated any weapons he had, and he would stand a very good chance of never seeing them again. Instead, he gets paid administrative leave and a pretty good chance of them dropping the charges.

Now, what about that Lautenberg Amendment? Granted, the Captain would have to be convicted, which at this point looks about as likely as an actual conservative ever getting elected to office again, but if he is convicted, he will have to give up his right to possess firearms forever. Going to be tough to be a cop that way, isn’t it?

I have no additional comments.

Because when it comes to spousal abuse, cops aren’t a problem like everyone else.  (Except you know they really are more of a problem.)

SSCC San Antonio

A San Antonio police officer has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of deadly conduct.
Daniel Lopez, 42, has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation. He has been an officer for eleven years.

Unpossible!  He’s anointed and one of the few that is trained, qualified, and responsible enough to carry a firearm.  Best part is, he was already on administrative leave for another incident in June.

Because when you’re a cop, they wont even arrest you for threating a gun against your own (both family and other officers).

SSCC King County and WA DOC

“Officers entered his residence without permission (and without knocking on his door), as he slept in his bed,” the statement said. “They went into his room with their guns drawn.”

Some initial reports indicated one officer claimed he thought Theoharis had reached for a gun, but according to a review by the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office the only item found in Theoharis’ bed was a black metal flashlight, 5 inches long and 1 inch wide.

Next to the bed, within reaching distance, was an end table filled with aluminum cans and a variety of objects, including two black remote controls, the statement said. The gunshots were directed to that side of the bed, a forensic examination showed.

Prosecutors ultimately declined to file criminal charges against Deputy Aaron Thompson or DOC Specialist Kristopher Rongen, both of whom invoked their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent during the investigation.

I want to write-up something coherent but there’s so much negligence in this mess it isn’t even funny.  It’s already costing the Washington Taxpayer 3 million, plus the eventual settlement from the Department of Corrections.  Yet neither of the men responsible for the decisions that led up to that situation are on trial…

There is no correlation between the law and justice and the purpose of the law is to keep those who have the money and the power with the money and the power.  A police officer will kill you and go home and sleep like a baby.  Just ask Officer Harless.

Because an unarmed man sleeping in his own room who you don’t have cause or warrant to disturb needs ventilating always.

July 4th, 2013, The Day Lady Liberty took her last breath…

Today saw many nails in the coffin of liberty, the worst of which involved TJIC. 

Well, TJIC got his Massachusetts FID* reissued, and has reapplied for an MA LTC**.

Now the local po-po*** is surrounding his crib, wanting to inspect the premises. Without a warrant. In the suburbs of Boston. On Independence Day.

The closing comments from TJIC is they have a lawyer, Jennifer’s firearms were illegally confiscated, and they took his FID without cause or warrant.

Go read the comment thread if you want the full details, suffice it to say there’s nothing about that situation that seem right or legal.

Moving forward, the third Amendment was dealt a blow as well.  (It happened yesterday but I just discovered it).

Henderson police arrested a family for refusing to let officers use their homes as lookouts for a domestic violence investigation of their neighbors, the family claims in court.

Anthony Mitchell and his parents Michael and Linda Mitchell sued the City of Henderson, its Police Chief Jutta Chambers, Officers Garret Poiner, Ronald Feola, Ramona Walls, Angela Walker, and Christopher Worley, and City of North Las Vegas and its Police Chief Joseph Chronister, in Federal Court.

See that, that’s agents of the government declaring the 3rd amendment no longer necessary and dead.  I figured that one would get a few more years but at this point we’re screwed.

No one in the government is trying to stop these abuses or otherwise reign in the problem.  It has become us vs them.  The best example of this was the cop from the TJIC incident on the 4th.

At the end, some of the cops who ransacked the house tried to shake hands with me. "No hard feelings".

I refused and said "Gentlemen, please think about what you’re doing. On the fourth of July, the day we celebrate freedom, you stole legally owned firearms from a women who is engaged to a guy who made a joke you don’t like. You are not the good guys. You are ‘just doing your jobs’. Look in the mirror. You’re the bad guys."

Response: "I’m sorry you feel that way. Have a good Fourth."

I am at a loss for words and frankly, I’m needing to sit down with the brain trust and see what, if anything can be done.  There’s three options to instill political change, the soap box, ballot box, and cartridge box.  It appears the first two aren’t working in protecting freedom and liberty and our would be masters want to disarm us because they know what’s coming.

If you’re the preying type, I highly suggest you start because I’m afraid, quite soon, shit’s going to go hot in this cold war.  There’s only so much abuse that can be taken, especially when the person doing the abuse is protected from all repercussions and consequences.

I leave you with this lesson from the 20th century:

If a bureaucrat, or a soldier sent by a bureaucrat, comes to knock down your door and confiscate your firearms– kill him. The disarmament of law-abiding citizens is the required precursor to genocide.

Now is the time to make your plans and if they mean to have a war, let them have one.  No warrant, no cause, you have every right to resist.

SSCC Chicago

As Taylor was being taken the police lockup, he told detectives that the confession was false and that he was in jail at the time of the murders after being arrested in a nearby park for fighting. Following up on Taylor’s claim that he was in jail at the time of the murders, police found jail records showing that Taylor had indeed been arrested at 6:45 p.m. on November 16, 1992.  A bond slip with Taylor’s signature was time-stamped at 10 p.m.—more than an hour after the murders.

On December 12—less than two weeks later, two police officers filed a belated report saying that on the night of the murders, they saw Taylor in an alley near the shooting at about 9:30 p.m.

Go read it, it’s a long story.  Suffice it to say in the end a man spent 20 years in prison and finally was released after the feds started exposing all the corruption.  Then all the sudden they were willing to do their jobs.

Because why do your job when you can coerce a confession out of someone.  Who cares if you catch the real criminal, the bottom line is someone’s behind bars right?
