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).

“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.

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.

Independence Day…

Comments Off on Independence Day…

I’ve written about Independence Day many times before.  Honestly, go take a peek at those posts if you haven’t read them before.

It’s not the 4th of July, well it is literally, but it’s our Independence Day.  That is what we are celebrating, not just some random day of the year.  I don’t celebrate the 4th of July, I celebrate our Independence.  I celebrate the men who in that Continental Congress that hot July 2nd 1776 voted unanimously to declare the following:

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Re-read that last sentence and let that sink in for a a second.  These men were committing treason according to the British crown.  Those men had we lost would have been hung for what they did.  One man’s riot is another man’s rebellion.  It is important that we all remember those facts.

As you celebrate our Independent with family and friends today, don’t forget about those men who took the ultimate risk to secure your liberty, both then and now.  At the same time, you might want to ask yourself, “When was the last time I took a risk to preserve the liberty of myself and my country men.”  Currently there is a man on the run who exposed a serious overreach by our government.  Many in that government have called him a traitor.  He gave up everything to expose the wrong our government was doing.

I know for the most part with this last statement I’m mostly preaching to the choir, but when was the last time you were politically active and engaged?  When was the last time you contacted your legislators and expressed your opinions in an effort to make them represent you instead of themselves? When was the last time you spend researching a political topic and didn’t just trust the media for the information on the subject?  When was the last time you shared the skill, joy, and freedom that comes with firearms with someone else? All of those items merely require the sacrifice of time, nothing more.  If we aren’t careful though and we don’t start fighting back hard, the sacrifices that will have to be made in the name of liberty and freedom will be considerably higher and more costly.

"The price of liberty is eternal vigilance."

And given the day, you should at least watch this once…

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?

This is being put below the fold because of autoplay on the video linked to.

Now one could say the dog was coming at the officers, however given the rate at which officers have been committing puppycide and that they were arresting him for video taping them in a public place.  They wanted an excuse to shoot his dog.  The man wouldn’t be convicted in court, but by god they killed his dog and he would think twice before documenting police action again!

Because when someone films you doing your job and you’re a cop, arrest them and kill their dog.  The arrest won’t stick, but the dog being dead sure will.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court has suspended a former prosecutor for misconduct in gaining capital murder convictions of two men nearly 20 years ago; the court declined a recommendation by the state bar association that he be disbarred.

Robert Bradley Miller, former assistant district attorney for Oklahoma County, was suspended from practicing law for 180 days and ordered to pay more than $12,800 in court costs, the Associated Press reported. Miller faced a slew of charges by the bar, and the high court winnowed some of them.

The story is down right depressing.  When you are looking to end someone’s life, there is no room for error and no room for misconduct.  The bar association was correct in their assessment in my eyes.  I guess the court prefers to protect their corrupt officers of the court.

Because who needs to be ethical when if you win they’re going to be put to death right?  What difference does it make?
