Yet another incident that is disturbing on the most fundamental of levels.

An official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been arrested and charged with two counts of child molestation and one count of bestiality, police said.

…

The two are accused of “immoral and indecent” sexual acts involving a 6-year-old, according to information from DeKalb County Magistrate Court and an arrest warrant.

This ones an HM because well her job didn’t provide her access, or clearance to get away free.  She is however an employee of the government and is yet another example of how they are human.

I’ve got nothing for this one.

Here’s one of the text messages we found between officers on their in-car computers: At 1:29am, one officer writes one officer to another, “We just got 5lb of marijuana and a ton of other crap.”

Sitting in their police cars in a Kingwood parking lot, that’s what Houston cops bragged to each other what they’d found. The problem for them is that when they got downtown, it’s not what they turned in.

When the officers showed up at the city jail to book Hill a short time later and turn in their evidence, the five pounds of marijuana they bragged about an hour earlier somehow had become a pound and a half.

Why would officers steal the evidence?  Were they trying to turn around and sell them to make some extra side cash?

Nope they stole it for personal use to use while on the job.

Hill’s lawyers found them and let us see them. At 2:44 that morning, an hour after finding five pounds of marijuana, “So H I G H!” “Good munchies” writes another officer. Reassuringly, the first writes back, “Everything should be open when we get done.”

These officers arrested an individual for smoking pot and then did it themselves while the tax payer was footing the bill. The war on nouns only serves to provide a reason to further expand government and law enforcement agencies. It does nothing to protect the public in general. Actually it does quite the opposite by making the general public possible victims of an ill conceived or poorly execute no knock warrant.

The actions of these officers do nothing but to further illustrate at prove why every last war on nouns should disappear. Whether it be guns, drugs, poverty, or any other “nobel” cause.  It does nothing but make victims out of what would otherwise be victimless crimes, or perpetuate their condition.  It also creates a separate elitist class where the laws do not apply.  

The officers are under investigation. Internal Affairs is working on it. But even after we told HPD about this most recent development, their status hasn’t changed. They remain out on the street on patrol.

(Emphasis Mine)Don’t worry though, the poor kid who was in the apartment though will be back in court next week.

JayG posted a meme this morning that I’ll hop on board with mainly because… well you might notice.

So here’s the meme. Long answers or short.

1. What was your first car? Model, year, color, condition?

2. What adventures did you have in it, good or bad?

3. What happened to it, what’s the end of the story?

So my first car was a 1994 Chrysler LeBaron my parents bought used in 1996.  It looked very much like this.

Those became my primary wheels in 2002 once I finally started driving.  I was late to the party since I had no reason to drive anywhere prior, second my parents used my drivers license as leverage to speed me up in getting my Eagle Scout, it didn’t work.  I finally bothered to give a crap and get my license so I could go visit the future Minutewoman while she was home on break. The interior was in quite decent shape, though the paint was flaking off by the time I got it.

I had a couple interesting road trips in it.  Mainly between the Seattle area and the Palouse where I now reside.  The most memorable was a trip where I told the future wife I had to go help my mom with some stuff and I’d be on IM later that night.  I then drove the 5 and a half hours and knocked on her dorm room door with roses while wearing a tuxedo.  This car was also the source of a personal record for the Pullman Seattle run.

One night on the cross state strip I found a dead deer in the middle of my lane on highway 26.  I shaved it’s belly after straddling it.  It sprayed entrails all over the firewall and engine block.  It stunk to high heaven for about 2 months until the rest of it burned off.

I had a lot of fun in that car and loved it cause it always treated me well.  I traded her in because she was starting to burn oil and maintenance bills were increasing expensive.  We replaced her with the 2003 Explorer Sport in 2007.

So evidently a TSA agent forgot about a firearm he was carrying.

A Transportation Safety Administration employee was taken into custody Tuesday after he unlawfully tried to bring a handgun into the secured area of Miami International Airport, police said.

…

According to the police report, Valdes admitted he knew it was illegal to bring a firearm into the airport and that he just “forgot.” He also said the gun was not registered and he did not have a concealed weapons permit.

(Emphasis Mine)  What is most scary though is he was hired and passed the TSA background checks, yet he didn’t apply for a Florida carry license?!  It makes me wonder if he was actually eligible for possession of the firearm.

The bottom line here is it just proves the failure of screening processes and gun control. They got lucky this time they caught him carrying the firearm.  How many times had he carried into the secure areas unnoticed?  

*I am reasonably sure this isn’t the first time an incident like this has occurred, however I cannot find any news record for it and I evidently didn’t blog it.  If you find or know of a previous incident, where a TSA agent was caught unlawfully carrying a firearm, please post it in the comments.

The anti-rights cultists keep telling us that law abiding citizens should be allowed to carry firearms because they will assault people over simple disagreements.

A Denver police officer pleaded no contest this morning in Erie Municipal Court to disorderly conduct in connection with a June incident at the Colorado National Golf Club in which the off-duty officer was accused of punching a man in the face. 

…

According to Erie police, Carlile and a friend were watching a Colorado Rockies game on TV in the clubhouse bar when two other men, both Erie residents, picked up the remote and changed the channel to a college championship baseball game. 

[Sarcasm]And that children is why only police officers should be allowed to carry firearms into bars and civilians should be disarmed.[/Sarcasm]   

The good news is though he has a 1-year deferred judgment, a $750 fine, and was suspended.  Wait, what!?  For assaulting a man over a TV channel he wasn’t fired, he wasn’t put in jail, but was just given a simple fine.

In this instance I’m glad this walking jock strap of a dolt left his piece at home.  This is however, a perfect example of how police are not some how rendered magically impervious to the being human.

I support bar carry because I don’t drink in bars, and I know I’m not alone.  I go with friends, usually I am the DD, and in my circle the DS as well.  I drink but only really at home or in private.  Further many restaurants that serve alcohol end up off limits due to the asinine law.  I don’t like drinking in public because it renders me to Condition White.  It is illegal to carry and drink, I fail to see why there’s an extra line since all it does is cause issues for the law abiding, especially those who are being responsible and taking care of their friends.

State Sponsored Criminal Count: 127 – Kevin Carlile

Because if you’re watching TV and someone changes the channel, the proper response is to physically beat them.  Establish your dominance as the alpha male!

Seriously. My dad always told me to keep my mouth shut when it involved the police.

While in shock from my accident, I talked to the police without an attorney. I barely even remember it and don’t even know why I did it. I have never remembered the conversation, I just know it happened. The lesson to take home was it did nothing to benefit me. Anything said that would benefit my case is ignored, it is their job to gather evidence against you, nothing more.

Linoge is talking about a book that again provides the recommendation to keep your mouth shut.

The bottom line is this is your life we are talking about.  There is no winning a legal battle, in Washington you can currently break even if it’s ruled self-defense.  But you still lose time, and the cost to you personally will be immense.

If you have a self-defense shooting, keep your mouth shut until you talk to legal representation.  Even if it falls well under castle doctrine.

Three officers who lied in Federal court have been reinstated by the city.

The board’s orders say Brandon Jackson, Jason Overbaugh and William Porter — who were all reinstated — gave testimony in federal court based on a “poorly written” report by James Menzoian, whose firing was was not overturned. The three reinstated officers also depended on their memories to recall events that happened about 150 days earlier, the board explained.

…

The board’s rulings said the city had not proved the three lied intentionally.

So let me get this straight.  Officers are giving testimony based on a poorly written report, that they did not write.  How is that testimony anything but hearsay since they did not write the report.  Any testimony they did give should be based on their knowledge of the situation, not a report written by someone else.

Moving forward though anything they say they should be sure of and know as fact.  Their testimony has the potential of ruining peoples lives.  The costs of giving false testimony are weightily and should not be taken lightly, intentional or not.

It was their responsibility to verify and authenticate the facts in the case they were presenting.  Anything they testified about that was proven to be false they are just as culpable as the fourth who wrote the report.

State Sponsored Criminal Count: 126

• Brandon Jackson
• Jason Overbaugh
• William Porter
• James Menzoian

Because if you’re a cop, you have no responsibility to verify anything prior to acting.  If you falsely provide testimony or end up raiding a house where the criminal hasn’t been for 7 years, you will not be held responsible.
