A quick-thinking officer sprang into action when a man started swinging a bat at a police station. The man was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest. He was taken to a medical center for treatment and evaluation.

"I saw a lot of smoke pouring out of the garage and there was a bunch of people in the street," Freeman said. He alerted the Sacramento Fire Department and moments later reached the house. Family members urgently said, "Grandma won't leave the house."

and the real ugly.
Like this oldie. Bank robbing crazies with machine-guns vs cops.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heien_v._North_Carolina
n appeal the North Carolina Court of Appeals reversed. After careful analysis of the North Carolina statute governing brake lights, the Court of Appeals concluded that it required only one working "stop lamp". Heien's left brake light was functional, so his right brake light's dysfunction did not constitute a violation.

It's a good thing they weren't making a left hand turn ... then the only break light would be the right one ... the disfunctional one.

The courts of appeals needs a checkup from the neck up.

 

I found a nice summary page of "accidental" police shootings and wrong address S.W.A.T raids.
Of course no police officer or police department did anything wrong while killing unarmed people not even suspected of anything.

If you really want to get freaked out, look at the after shooting reports of the FBI. When they kill some one they investigate them selves and they are never guilty of wrongful deaths.

That happens in almost all police departments. I call it, "deeming". Look at the sources I have listed and see things like, "Sixteen officers gave up their law enforcement certifications to moot criminal indictments. ow.ly/BNOB309wclT " or, "raped a 12 year old girl, sentenced to probation" and the list in post #1643, "killed spectator, no charges filed". It is deemed a, "tragic accident" when a LEO kills a completely innocent citizen, but a most heinous murder if you do it.

There is something very wrong about a whole class of people who kill every day with a better than 95% chance that no charges will be filed.

Or when the FBI has to let the user of a child porn site go because the government refused to divulge how it revealed his identity. The spied on the site and discovered the IP addresses but refuses to tell how they did it.
Don't be so quick to believe the FBI or others in government when they say "We didn't/didn't spy".

In December, the Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell said the investigation of Playpen led to more than 200 active prosecutions and the identification or rescue of at least 49 American children who were subject to sexual abuse.

In January, Michael Fluckiger was sentenced to 20 years in jail for running the Playpen site.

Once the site's administrators had been arrested, the FBI kept the site going for 13 days to gather information about members.

TACOMA, Wash. -- Federal prosecutors decided to drop child pornography charges against a Vancouver, Wash. teacher rather than give up classified information about the hacking techniques they used to gather evidence in the case.

The secretive U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court did not deny a single government request in 2015 for electronic surveillance orders granted for foreign intelligence purposes, continuing a longstanding trend, a Justice Department document showed.

The court received 1,457 requests last year on behalf of the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for authority to intercept communications, including email and phone calls, according to a Justice Department memo sent to leaders of relevant congressional committees on Friday and seen by Reuters. The court did not reject any of the applications in whole or in part, the memo showed.

The total represented a slight uptick from 2014, when the court received 1,379 applications and rejected none.

FERGUSON • St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert P. McCulloch released unedited footage Monday from the Ferguson Market to settle questions raised by what he called a "pretty pathetic attempt at a video production" that led to a protest outside the Ferguson Market Sunday.

McCulloch said the footage shown in the independent film, "Stranger Fruit," was known to police and investigators when they looked into the police shooting death of Michael Brown in 2014, but that it was deemed "not relevant or admissible," to the grand jury weighing charges against the officer.
...
"It's not as though (this footage) was hidden away somewhere, as this fellow with his video project was trying to say," McCulloch said. "Even his pathetic video shows the police report where he got the information. It's all there and it's been there since 2014. It's all available and not edited.

"This is a clear attempt to distort this and turn it into something it isn't...There was no transaction, but there certainly was an attempt to barter for these goods, but the store employees had no involvement in that, and when he left, they put everything where it belonged...It's very clear there was no transaction between Mr. Brown and the store employees and to suggest he's coming back to get what he bartered for is just stupid."

 

Charlie Chan justified.

PORTLAND, Ore. – A business owner who shot and killed a man outside of a Southeast Portland insurance agency was justified in using deadly force, a grand jury found.

On March 10, a grand jury ruled 47-year-old Charlie Chan should not face criminal prosecution in the death of 32-year-old Jason Petersen.
...
Chan has a valid concealed handgun license.

Don't mess with Charlie Chan.

 

Update on a shooting I mentioned in TCM's Thread about "environmentalists" who don't clean up their campsites as well as oil companies clean up after oil spills. Watch the video. Coward cop rolls up on minor fender bender with his gun drawn (because minor traffic accidents make him fear for his life). SUV is partway down in the ditch so the driver has to use both hands to push the drivers door open. Cop shoots because he didn't assume the "hands up" posture of a person who is under arrest while pushing on the door. Shooting deemed, "reasonable".

Remember that. It may be the difference between your life or death. Have both your hands separate, palms showing, and above your head while opening the drivers door at the scene of, "no crime occurred" or it will be, "reasonable" to shoot you.

EDIT: I can imagine knocking on that cop's door to ask him why he even showed up at the scene of a traffic collision with a gun...and if he doesn't answer the door with both hands showing, shoot him. I'm sure he would understand why it's reasonable to do that.

But who saved him?

A former felon, he would later learn. A man who turned his life around and found God. A lifelong hunter who begged a judge to reinstate his rights, allowing him to carry a gun again -- the one he just fired.

 

The law won.

Some of the anti-cop comments there are just plain stupid.

Yep, the feature from the cover photo definitely looks doctored, unless one holds a gun with only two fingers and no thumb. Looks like a fake grip. Any readers experts on this?

She took a gun to a car fight.

He's lucky the next cop to arrive didn't kill him.
An armed non-cop at the scene of an active shooter and Officer Down? Much more guilty than the victim of a fender-bender trying to present his driver's license.
