Watch the entire video.  Here are my initial thoughts.

“It was an honest mistake.”  No, it was honestly a dumbass mistake.  A different state – literally, the officer entered the wrong state into his database.

You’d think that brandishing a firearm at someone and the reckless endangerment that entails would necessitate some personnel error reduction training.  For example, they should be using STAR (Stop, Think, Act, Review), self-checking, independent verification, repeat backs, phenetic alphabet, and a whole host of very simple tools to prevent these sorts of stupid errors.  From wrong tag numbers to wrong-home SWAT raids, the error rate among cops has to be higher than even in the medical or pharmaceutical professions.  As I’ve pointed out before, they could take a page from the books of commercial nuclear power generators and the airline industry.  Imagine if we held cops to the same zero error-rate as FFLs?

Second, that cop who was shouting orders is much too dramatic for me.  He needs to take his finger out of the trigger well and calm down.  It’s not okay to muzzle flag people at the range, but for some reason cops think it’s okay for them to do it to innocent people.

Third, the policy is stupid.  It would had been much more effective if they had simply gone up to the window and knocked on it and asked some questions, perhaps revisited their initial work to come up with the wrong state tag.

Finally, having the people walk backwards on a freeway is about the dumbest thing they could demand. The individuals they’ve stopped have absolutely no way of knowing that they’re correct that the freeway has been shut down. After all, they’ve been stopped for no reason at all by an idiot who entered the wrong state into his database. That doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. My bet, however, is that a DA would have refused to charge them if someone had been run over because of “qualified immunity,” which as we’ve seen before is an unconstitutional abomination borne out of DAs and the judicial bench protecting their own.

This is just stupidity in action.  Watch as these cops make enemies of people, abandoning any hope of having people talk about “supporting the blue.”  It’s happening all over America as police departments hire the lowest IQ people they can find, and cops abandon the constitution and continue to listen to their dumb police academy trainers.

Here is their contact information.

WELL, GOOD: Judge strikes down Arizona law limiting filming of police.

Note that the First Circuit has held that taking photos and video in public is a right that is sufficiently “clearly established” that those who violated it can’t claim qualified immunity.

Note that it’s not just free speech. There’s also a due process right to record the police.

If they don’t want you to film them, they have something to hide.

For cops to claim they shouldn’t be filmed would be like me, a professional engineer, saying that I have a right to perform calculations and designs and no one has a right to review them, nor should I be held accountable for them.

That sort of immature thinking is reserved for little children who get caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

The issues of the case don’t interest me that much, although I agree that violence can only be used when there is a threat of serious injury.  For example, see Tennesse v. Garner, where the SCOTUS concluded that a LEO cannot discharge his weapon at someone fleeing.

Anyway, the more interesting thing to me is the issue of qualified immunity.  As I’ve said so many times before, qualified immunity is an obscene witch’s brew concocted by the courts with no basis in constitutional law for the sole purpose of protecting the agents and enforcers of the state.

I’m glad John is teaching a young man to defend civil rights.  I’m sure he’ll turn into a good lawyer.  Liberty University is producing some very good graduates in all areas of specialty.

See this post for video details if you missed it.  I called the cop a bunch of ugly names because he deserved it.  I was right in what I said, and everybody knows it.

I said he wasn’t a real man and needed to go learn to train, care for and work with farm and ranch animals.  Better still, as a beginner he needs to “pick” (or clean out) stalls for a few months, carrying horse shit out of their way so it doesn’t ruin their hooves.

So is there a contrasting example of how real American men behave around good dogs?

Why, yes there is.  See it right here.

I’m glad I could be of assistance today.

They’ve been caught secretly putting cameras in women’s locker rooms, on camera invading men’s homes and working through their belongings for things, and on and on.  The list is long and available on this site, but also available at the YouTube channel The Civil Rights Lawer.

He gives us this update.  Can you imagine going on record under oath writing the sequence of events and other supposedly factual information about a home invasion your department perpetrated when you were not there?  Can you imagine being a prosecutor who brought a case against a man and bringing witnesses, none of whom perpetrated the police attack on the man in court that day as a witness?

This may very well be the most corrupt police department in the nation, and that’s an ignominious list indeed.

We’ve said it hundreds of times, but this guy is a good example of how (a) you never talk to the police, and (b) you never give them permission to do anything.  That’s what this crook was seeking.

The LEOs are good examples of highwaymen, simple crooks who steal from others, except in this case, under the color of law.  The prosecutor who did this is equally a crook.

Apparently, it’s commonplace across America to teach police officers that conducting an investigation means they can do whatever they want.

Note in this first case that, in order, (a) she stopped the wrong individual, (b) apologized to him, (c) told him pointedly that he had broken no laws, (d) demanded his identification, (e) then told him failure to provide identification was obstructing a police investigation.

Note the logical problem they create for themselves (and the individual they’re stopped).  A person has not violated any law, the officer demands ID, the individual is under no legal obligation to provide ID if there isn’t articulable suspicion of a crime, and then the whopper at the end, failure to provide ID is obstructing a police investigation.

Under that schema, there is never a time when an individual can refuse to provide ID because the cop can claim that they are “conducting an investigation” (a fabricated crime that even if it did occur, occurred after the erroneous stop because there was no articulable suspicion of a crime).  This is a “Morton’s Fork.”  The individual hasn’t committed a crime and thus no ID can be demanded, but an ID can be demanded because the demand itself cannot be refused or else the individual has obstructed an investigation.

This is the game idiots play, and it twists the ruling of the SCOTUS in “Terry Stops.”

Here is the lawsuit.  The girl is a wrong and gullible but perhaps teachable, at least until she has her conscience seared by her co-workers.  The supervising officer is just plain stupid, reactionary, volatile, bossy, and clearly not a thinking man.  He’s perfect to be a cop according to modern hiring practices for LEOs.

The next case is like unto it.  The cops demand to come within the property lines because, guess what, “they are conducting an investigation.”  There’s that phrase again.

Here’s a quick note to cops everywhere.  Conducting an investigation doesn’t give you the right to violate civil rights, regardless of what the wicked instructors have taught you in the police academy.  You should know better.

These guys are just as bad as the ones above and obviously couldn’t care less about the constitution or their oaths. They are also obviously bullies.

This is a sickening video.  For heaven’s sake – it’s a golden retriever.  It’s a golden!  How is that guy in any danger?  Have you ever been around goldens before?  That dog was desperate to make a new friend, that’s all.

That idiot cop deserved all of the opprobrium he got, and much more.

*WARNING* – a dog gets shot in this video

Ohio cop shoots harmless golden retriever with its tail waging then continues shooting the dog as it flees the violent officer and Dixie (the dog) ultimately dies.

I just don’t know what to say any more.  Perhaps people will start to wise up rather than the usual, silly, mistaken “back the blue” mantra we hear everywhere.  Heroes of the community.

I have tried so hard to explain to those who would listen that you simply cannot keep up the same things and have any community respect at all.  Universal hatred of you and what you do will be dangerous for you, making you even more paranoid and mentally unstable than you currently are.

I’ve given suggestions to the police before and then even again.  Work as a hired hand on a farm or ranch, or even better, be a volunteer to some farmer or rancher who needs the help.  Learn to bale hay; lean to be a Farrier; learn to doctor animals; learn to train dogs; learn to care for animals.

But it seems that they hire the lowest IQ, least mentally stable, and most dangerous to mankind and beasts they can find.  As long as this is the case, they will only increase community hatred for themselves.

Again I say, you’re never in more danger than when the police are around.  Get away from them as quickly as possible – you, your family and your beasts.  There is never a situation so bad and so dire that it cannot be made worse by the presence of the police.

As for me, I know how to handle dogs, and I would have been buddies with that dog in less than a second.  I’m not a dog handler (although I could be), I’m just a normal American male.  Cops apparently are not.

A jury has acquitted on all counts the former school resource officer who stayed outside during the February 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida – absolving him of wrongdoing in the rare trial of a law enforcement officer for his response to a mass shooting.

Scot Peterson, 60, took off his glasses and wept in court as the judge read off the verdict, finding him not guilty of seven counts of felony child neglect, three counts of culpable negligence and one count of perjury.

“I’ve got my life back,” Peterson, a former deputy for the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, told reporters outside court, describing the years since the shooting as “an emotional roller coaster.”

I couldn’t care less what sort of emotional roller coaster he’s been on nor how he feels about any of this.  He’s a coward.  Regardless of what the law requires, he should have been a righteous man and, if necessary, given his life for the children.

Having said that, this is the right legal decision.  Holding police responsible for the protection of life runs afoul of court decisions in the following cases.

Castle Rock v. Gonzalez

Warren v. District of Columbia

DeShaney v. Winnebago County

Progressives hate the police except for when they enforce laws they want (that means against everybody but them as was the case with Antifa), and the traditional conservatives are the only ones left who believe the myth that the police are there to serve and protect.  They are not, nor have they ever been.  They are agents of the state and will behave that way at every opportunity.  No court ruling has ever said police are there to protect citizens.

It is the responsibility of every good man to defend his family, and thus should men be armed and capable of doing so.  As for schools, if you want them to be safe, hire people who are under contract to do that, harden the entrances, and give teachers weapons.  Better yet, get your children out of public schools and home school them to learn math, physics, chemistry, rhetoric and logic, and theology.

Don’t conflate the fact that this man was a coward with the notion that the police are there to protect you or your children.  That’s what you and your weapons are for.
