News.

Texas police are asking for the public’s help after they say a group of robbers pretending to be Houston police officers broke into a sleeping man’s apartment, armed with rifles and handguns.

At around 12:30 a.m. on March 18, several people broke down a Houston resident’s door, home security camera footage shared by police showed.

The intruders, armed with rifles and guns, yelled “HPD” as they entered the home, the video showed.

The resident of the apartment was sleeping at the time and told police he heard someone attempting to kick down his door.

He grabbed his handgun and told police he “did not think that they were the police” and fired his gun several times, according to a news release from the Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division. The resident believed the suspects, who he said were men, were there to rob him.

Clad in black masks and dark clothing, the attempted robbers fired their guns, causing shots to go through the walls and into other apartments, police said in the release.

Police said the men then fled the area.

The video doesn’t show very convincing posing to me.  However, consider the fact that you’re asleep, and the noise at the door indicates that LEOs want in.  Judgment before 30 minutes after waking up is impaired.  Studies have shown that you need 30 minutes before you can make good critical judgments.

I’ve documented this three other times in three other locations: California, Norfolk, Virginia, and in Houston, TX.

It’s also happened in Oahu, Hawaii and New York.

I’ve also pointed out before that police should understand that while they are recklessly invading homes, they aren’t just putting our lives at risk.  They’re putting their own lives at risk too.

They must understand that criminals have caught on to the game.  Announce that you’re police, yell obscenities, scream for people to get on the floor, and instinctively some people will do that.

But understand that we can’t do that.  We … cannot … do … that.  We don’t know who you are and we have our own lives to protect.

So by employing this tactic, police all across America have made the situation much more dangerous for the ordinary homeowner.  That moment of hesitation waiting to be sure of who is at the door could spell the end of some homeowner’s life.  That moment of quick reaction if it is cops could spell the end of some cop’s life, thus ensuring an awful trial for the homeowner in which s/he knows that the judge and jury will almost certainly side with the cop (because that’s what they do).

You can blame police for this conundrum.  And it’s far past time to end no-knock home invasions by cops as if they are playing soldier-boy.  If that restricts evidence gathering to more time consuming means for police (like good old fashioned detective work), then so be it.

I don’t care about convenience for cops.  I don’t even care about their war on drugs.  It’s not my war.

Absolutely absurd.  And listen carefully to the cop’s testimony.

What is it?  Does the haircut make them stupid?  Do they hire the dumbest guys around for the job?  Does it have to do with being beaten up on the schoolyard playground?  Is it just a “controller” complex at work?

Don’t answer.  I think I know the answers.

Even after constitutional carry is passed by Alabama, the would-be rulers are still bitter, wanting to make their own laws.

“I have heard all of this.”  Meh.  Couldn’t care less, so drop it.

What an arrogant prick.  He’s better at lawmaking, just because.  Shut up, he explained.  He wears a shiny badge.

His county should kick him to the curb.  He’s begging people to get permits because he believes in state permitting, and for leverage, he’s pointing out one more time that if you want reciprocity, you must get my permit.

So come begging to me.  Now.

Fox News.

“Time for the protesters to hear our jackboots on the ground,” one member of RCMP Musical Ride allegedly wrote. Musical Ride is described as an RCMP group assisting “front-line police operations by building positive relationships, supporting recruiting efforts and promoting the RCMP’s image in communities in Canada.”

“okay we can give out free hugs and unicorn stickers,” the RCMP member allegedly said after receiving pushback for his “jackboots” remark.

“Don’t kick all of them out until next weeks group gets our turn,” one member of RCMP Musical Ride allegedly said in the group chat accompanied by a photo of a beer, Rebel News reported.

“just watched the horse video – that is awesome,” the RCMP Musical Ride member allegedly wrote.

Hey Canadians, you’re watching and listening aren’t you?  Tell me you’re watching and listening?

Do you believe that they love and support you?  Or do you believe that they identify more with the effete, latte drinking ruling caste?

I had initially seen this with no direct reference to a name or a report in the field and was just a bit skeptical, deciding that I wouldn’t post it.

But then this report appeared, and it seems to corroborate the report above from someone to whom it happened.

But I’ll say (somewhat tongue in cheek) that the worst of all of this appears to be that they won’t let the lady in the video below buy coffee.

Beyond the fact that they acted like Nazi thugs (and certainly enjoyed it), this is just too far.  If you get between me and my fresh ground black coffee, there’s going to be trouble.

As for the first two reports, if they know they can’t really legitimately arrest protesters and they’re simply dropping them off down the road, that seems to me to be a similar criminal offense to false arrest (and maybe worse).

I believe the formal name for this would be kidnapping.

Anyway, I suspect that “support the blue” thing is rapidly evaporating in Canada with this behavior (just as it is in the U.S. with SWAT raids, asset forfeiture, bad treatment of people who carry firearms, indemnification of police in bad shootings, vocal support for gun control and permitting schemes, and a host of other awful things).  I also suspect that for every protester they mistreat or kidnap or trample with horses, they create a thousand new ones.  As for the lady who wanted coffee, we should all condemn the cops in complete disgust for that offense.

From the perspective of COIN (counterinsurgency) doctrine, they have learned nothing from the misadventure in Afghanistan.

Then again, neither did our doomed elitists.  They can talk about COIN all they want to and write pedantic and silly papers until they’re blue in the face.  They never understood it then, and still don’t today.  They never knew what they were doing.

Quick example: In Afghanistan they gave Viagra to child molester chieftains so they could continue their abuse, thinking they would make friends, while disgusting our own troops and infuriating the Taliban even more.  In the end, no one loved the command structure or brilliant “thinkers” and “strategists.”  They were hated everywhere and by everyone.

Western nations are one big gaggle of incompetence and stupidity.

Finally, there is this ridiculous, pretentious finger wagging and sermon-preaching by cops while threatening to bust doors down.

The story is in the comments.  Basically, this restaurant owner was about to go out of business because of Covid restrictions.  The truckers meant new business, saving his livelihood, while they also helped him clean up.  He had given interviews about that, and this is the cops paying him back.

What was that I said about bullying one protester and creating a thousand more?

In the offices of Klaus Schwab: “Call on line 3 … the boy king is in a panic and needs assistance and direction.”

They’re cops, and cops will follow orders regardless of the morality of them.

“This is now a secure area”.

They destroyed excavators, and they politely admit to it.

I accuse the @rcmpgrcpolice of committing crimes. Trespass. Break & enter. Mischief over $5,000. Breach of trust. Intimidation. The only question is: who ordered this illegal action? Kenney, Trudeau or Trudeau’s crooked commissioner Brenda Lucki? pic.twitter.com/sLtw8sTzHi

In my book that makes them criminals.

Next up, they’re planning false flags, or at least, they’re trying to pin things on the truckers in an attempt to wow the stupid “Karens” of the country.  They also did the same thing at Coutts.

But the truckers in Ottawa are standing firm at the moment.

Cops.  What a bunch of hoodlums and gangsters.  Despicable and detestable.

Here is the video.

But wait!

The Ontario Provincial Police said in a statement it launched an internal investigation into the incident, adding it “raised concerns about professionalism and depicts opinions that are not in line with the OPP’s values.”

“We recognize that views expressed by the member has caused public upset,” the OPP wrote in a statement on Twitter. “The OPP does not condone current illegal activity.”

It added: “Officers must maintain the highest standard of conduct, integrity, and ethical behavior.”

The gang can’t be seen agreeing with the poors and peasants, can they now?

So this is good.  It’s good because it once again demonstrates that the police are on the side of the globalists and will always and forever serve their globalist masters, and it will serve to convince the people that the police are not on their side.

This is actually extremely bad for the police.  Assuming, that is, the judge doesn’t hold them in contempt, in which case it goes from bad to worse.

Ammoland.

“As seen in the body-worn camera video released by Minneapolis Police, Mr. Locke appears to be sleeping on the couch during the execution of a no-knock warrant, “ stated Bryan Strawser, Chair, Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. “He is awoken with a confusing array of commands coming from multiple officers who are pointing lights and firearms at him.”

“Mr. Locke did what many of us might do in the same confusing circumstances, he reached for a legal means of self-defense while he sought to understand what was happening, “ added Rob Doar, Senior VP, Governmental Affairs.

“The tragic circumstances of Mr. Locke’s death were completely avoidable, “ stated Doar. “It’s yet another example where a no-knock warrant has resulted in the death of an innocent person. In this case, as in others, the public should expect and receive full transparency and accountability from law enforcement agencies that serve and protect our local communities.”

“Amir Locke, a lawful gun owner, should still be alive, “ added Strawser. “Black men, like all citizens, have a right to keep and bear arms. Black men, like all citizens, have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable search and seizure.”

The deceased wasn’t a suspect in any crime.  Now he is dead.

No, I don’t want full transparency.  No, there will never be full accountability for all of the thousands killed in police raids in America.

What I want is for this wicked practice to be outlawed.  The men who perpetrate it aren’t heroes of the community.  They are paid thugs doing the bidding of a police state.

There is some utopianism here, some tip of the hat to “we the government are here to help and make things better by fighting a war on drugs.”

I … DON’T … CARE … ABOUT … YOUR … WAR … ON … DRUGS.  Nor do I support it.  I don’t want you to conduct a war on anything.

There is also some tip of the hat to tax collection going on here.  The FedGov gets taxes from the legal (and also addictive) narcotics sold by doctors/pharmacies.  They just don’t get it when something natural is crafted by makers of liquor.

WILKES COUNTY, N.C. — A Wilkes County man pleaded guilty on Friday in Charlotte for distilling moonshine, according to The Charlotte Observer.

Clifton Ray Anderson Jr., 47, is from a farm community of Boomer and is the fifth person to plead guilty for a white-lightning distribution ring out of the county.

Anderson Jr. pled guilty to possession of an unregistered still and conspiracy to defraud the United States of excise taxes on distilled liquor.

Of his role in the ring, Anderson Jr. said “I’m the distiller. I’m the one who made it.” He said he was trying to help out the poor people in the community. He said many people struggle and don’t even receive food stamps in their county.

Anderson said he is a cattle farmer seven days a week and didn’t need the money, but did it as a service to others.

Prosecutors said Anderson leased a barn for $500 a month to produce more than 9,000 gallons of untaxed liquor from April 2018 to September 2020. He leased the barn from Gary Matthew Ray, 53, who has already pled guilty in the case.

Ray, along with Wilkesboro resident Roger Nance, 76, and Hamptonville resident Huie Kenneth Nicholson, 75, drove the moonshine to Virginia. They delivered it to James Patterson, 71, of Dinwiddie, Virginia to sell and distribute.

The ring cost the government over $100,000 in federal and state taxes. The conspiracy and illegal-still possession charges each carry a sentence of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Did you catch the part in bold?  That’s sort of like the street thief saying you cost him money by buttoning your pocket when you walked down the street.

And it doesn’t slip past me that the liquor tax began when George Washington found a way to pay the back wages of the soldiers after the war of independence.  Congress failed him by not coming up with the money promised to the soldiers, and he found a way.  But this set the worst precedent imaginable.
