House Bill 3571 passed both Houses this past week with Senate Floor Amendment 1.
SA1 permits counties and municipalities to hire non-citizens as deputy sheriffs and police officers in the same manner as hiring U.S. citizens, as long as they are: “legally authorized under federal law to work in the United States and is authorized under federal law to obtain, carry, or purchase or otherwise possess a firearm, or who is an individual against whom immigration action has been deferred by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services under the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process and is authorized under federal law to obtain, carry, or purchase or otherwise possess a firearm”
What this means in Illinois, is that you may soon see non-US citizens wearing police badges …
People who have no cultural tradition or history with this country may soon hold arrest powers in Illinois. I wouldn’t be surprised if that didn’t also happen in Dearborn, and many other cities across the nation.
They must be very proud in Heyburn, Idaho. They’ve managed to get the lowest of the low, the most uneducated, the most dangerous and sociopathic, the absolute worst possible people anywhere to be cops. Is it any wonder cops are hated everywhere now?
Another question might be this: Who ordered this killing? What is his name and rank, and why wasn’t be brought up on charges along with the cops who did this?
The cop(s) ought to be charged with: (1) reckless endangerment, (2) reckless discharging of a firearm, (3) cruelty to animals, (4) theft of property under color of law (the dogs were probably someone’s property).
There are many ways to, in Mike Vanderboegh’s words, “Lose the mandate of Heaven.” It seems modern American law enforcement wants to find and effect every single one of them.
I was at a community event last night which included fireworks, and one dog bolted as soon as the fireworks started. A lot of dogs are very frightened of fireworks. We knew, sort of, where the dog took off to, and I spent a good deal of time late last night with tactical lights walking through woods helping the dog’s owner search for him, while I also prayed that we could find the dog before he had to tangle with the Coyotes. We found him late last night. I guess that’s the difference between someone who cares and someone who doesn’t. One searches for lost dogs. Others shoot them for fun.
Also note, this is merely training for them. If they’ll shoot dogs with such callous disregard, they’ll do it to you too. I’ve said many times before, you’re never in more danger than when the cops are around. I guess this is true for dogs too. And I’m wondering since this cop loves shooting dogs so much, if he’s not a good candidate for ATF agent?

The FBI is investigating the death of a tribal member in Arizona after U.S. Border Patrol agents shot him Thursday, authorities said.
Customs and Border Protection officials said agents from the Ajo Border Patrol Station shot the man around 10 p.m. local time on the Tohono O’odham reservation near Ajo, Arizona.
The shooting is under review by Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Professional Responsibility, officials said. The Tohono O’odham Nation police also are investigating.

According to Mattia’s family, Mattia called Border Patrol because there were “multiple illegal immigrants who had trespassed into his yard and he wanted assistance getting them out of his property,” they told Tucson TV station KVOA.
When the agents arrived, the family said, Mattia went outside and was shot, KVOA reported.
Apparently, the Border Patrol is not immune from the same stupidity that seems to affect most law enforcement. Make a call, LEOs show up and shoot the innocent caller.
Move on. Nothing to see here.
“You’re never in more danger than when the police are around” … except maybe when illegals are around.
When my children were young, I told them obedience was doing the right thing at the right time with the right attitude.
This cop is a mommy. She wants the right attitude, whether she was right or not. It was really a ‘he’ but he acts like a she so I called him she. [S]he wants to be mommy and sees everyone as her child who needs to be corrected.
Worst of all, she is perpetuating the mommy department of pre-crime, arresting men over what she thinks they might do in the future.
Honestly, where do they get these people? How come law enforcement attracts awful people like this?
Why is he doing this? I cannot fathom a good reason.
I don’t do personalities. I don’t follow “people,” I don’t engage in loyalty to “persons,” I don’t hero worship, and as for the previous disagreements between Dakota Meyer and Garand Thumb, I don’t have a dog in that fight. Each can take care of himself, although I saw no reason for Meyer to have ever said anything to begin with.
As for this most recent kerfuffle, as I said, it makes no sense to me. The most disturbing thing is how Dakota sees law enforcement. Quite literally, he is berating men who have no spent time in the U.S. military, and equating law enforcement with the U.S. military.
Perhaps this is just about ensuring he makes his own people happy with him. Perhaps he knows how his bread gets buttered and is helping the process along.
But let me make it clear to Dakota if he happens to be reading this. I couldn’t care less about the dollars he gets from training LEOs, or the company he keeps. A cop is not a warrior. My son spent time on the streets of Fallujah – street cops in America have not. Nor should they. Nor do they have to in order to function in their jobs.
America needs peace officers, not street warriors, and no SWAT teams. I couldn’t care less about the war on poverty, war on drugs, or war on crime. These are not my wars. SWAT teams shouldn’t exist, and a home break-in executed by cops is no different to me than a home invasion perpetrated by criminals.
I hate it when people equate cops with the military, and I especially hate it when military folks do this. It does nothing but add to the problem of a military policing culture in America.
This depicts absolutely awful interactions between the police and innocent people. The first cop was bad enough, having stopped the boy for following too closely to his (as he said) “marked car,” as if being marked as a LE car is any different than any other car.
The second cop in the video is a disaster. He ends up giving conflicting orders to the man, and then not just muzzle flagging him, but unholstering his weapon and pointing it directly at the man while emotionally yelling and screaming.
I think it’s a fair assessment to say that PDs in America are mostly filled with under-educated, overly-emotional, mentally unstable bullies, criminals and sociopaths. It is incredibly dangerous just to be in the vicinity of cops these days. “You’re never in more danger than when the police are around, and no situation is so bad that it cannot be made worse by the presence of the police.” Clearly, at least one of the cops is a danger to society.
Witness this horrible interaction where a family member calls the police because they fear their son was going to commit suicide. York County, S.C., deputies fired fifty shots at him, hitting with nine (that’s horrible shooting, by the way). The family should never have called police. That’s like opening the jail cells and inviting the prisoners to come help you.
Now, watch this video of the sociopath and the father. Here is the contact page for the Las Animas County Sheriffs Department.
COLUMBIA, S.C. – A lawsuit has been filed against the York County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina by a man alleging that the deputies fired at him nearly 50 times during a mental health crisis while he was seated in a parked truck with a shotgun in his lap, despite his claim that he had his hands up.
In May of 2021, Trevor Mullinax survived being hit nine times, including three head wounds, as stated in the lawsuit filed earlier this month.
Police dashcam footage released by Mullinax’s attorneys revealed that the four sheriff’s deputies began firing only a few seconds after arriving on the scene and shouting “Hands!” multiple times.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A man was accidentally shot by police with his own gun in Philadelphia’s Germantown section earlier this week.
It happened around 4:14 p.m. Monday on the 5700 block of North 21st Street.
Police say a 62-year-old man was walking his dog on a leash near 20th and Chew streets when one of two loose pit bulls began to attack his dog.
The man reportedly tried to pull the dogs apart but was unsuccessful. That’s when police say the man shot and killed the attacking dog.
The man, who was licensed to carry, then walked home to the 5700 block of North 21st Street to take care of his injured animal.
At some point after the gunfire, the man was able to flag down a 14th District officer to report the incident.
According to police, the man told the officer that he had just shot the dog around the corner and that his gun was in a holster on his side.
The officer told the man that he would have to secure his weapon, and the man placed his hands above his head so the officer could gain access to the weapon, authorities said.
While trying to remove the weapon, authorities say the officer accidentally shot the man in the leg.
A firearm could be SAO, DAO, SA/DA, hammer fired, striker fired, with a frame-mounted safety or without, carried with one in the chamber or not, half cocked or fully cocked, or not cocked at all, with a modified competition trigger or factory trigger, among many other idiosyncrasies and differences.
It is a stupid policy to disarm someone by handling their weapon unless there has been a crime. Touching another man’s weapon is the dumbest thing a police officer could do in just about any situation. I honestly cannot think of an exception to this rule.
I’ll reach out to the police commissioner’s office to see if that’s formal policy for the Philadelphia Police Department, but I probably won’t hear back.
And remember boys and girls, “You’re never in more danger than when the police are around. Get away from them as quickly as possible. No situation is so dangerous that it cannot be made worse by the presence of the police.”
They couldn’t have cared less about the man’s legally obtained firearms.

Watch the entire video. Furtive movement. That’s their excuse for arresting and throwing a man in prison for a year after they had let him go.
This is the stuff of school yard bullies, whether they bullied little boys and girls, or got bullied, they learned it without learning that you don’t do that.
They’re learning this somewhere – probably in police academy, or perhaps from the public prosecutors. A furtive movement is reasonable excuse for beating someone up, or illegally detaining them, or throwing them in prison.
An experienced investigator in officer-involved shootings who viewed the footage said he understands why Mr Dotson would have a gun ready after getting a knock unexpectedly late at night.
However, the officers believed they were going into a domestic violence situation and they are taught domestic violence calls are among the most dangerous, said Edward Obayashi, who is also deputy sheriff and policy advisor for the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office in California.
He said officers on domestic violence calls can find themselves facing people “hell-bent” on killing officers or being killed by officers themselves.
“I’m not saying this is the situation here,” Mr Obayashi said.
“But the officers definitely — based on their training and experience nationwide — are taught this. As soon as they saw the gun, instinctively that’s exactly what went through their mind.”
They’re a gang, and the gang leaders are teaching them all the wrong things. I’ll say it again. My son did room clearing in Fallujah for seven months, and never shot any innocent people. It’s possible to be a man, not to be so timid and scared, and to do this the right way. Unleashing cops who have been trained to be unaccountable monsters has ruined their reputation. And properly so.
Don’t talk to cops. Don’t open the door for them. Get away from them as soon as possible. “You’re never in more danger than when the police are around.” Calling cops to a scene only makes it more dangerous by orders of magnitude.
