This neo-Marxist Police Chief is no surprise.He should be removed from office for violating his oath.
I know his type well. Schooled in the late 60’s, made his way up the ranks kowtowing to liberal agenda for his own self serving interests. He’s no cops cop I can tell you that.
He claims that all weapons will be removed from individual ownership in one generation.
"In the battle of life, it is not the critic who counts, not
the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds
might have done them better.The credit
belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with
sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again
and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends
himself in a worthy cause; who if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement;
and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place
shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor
defeat."
This is a legal substance being used as a drug by children in the UK. They call it, Meow, Meow. It’s a fertilizer that produces a high similar to ecstasy.
I post this as it could be an emerging trend. Please be aware and pass this around so we can protect our children.
There seems to be some disagreement over the good Sheriff’s intention and how that will translate into effectiveness.
I agree with the Sheriff to a point. Nevertheless, being a cop is not a life that lends itself to caution. We need to be really honest about that. As a retired police officer I can attest to this from personal experience. There were times that I was too cautious and sometimes regrettable consequences followed. There were times that I foolishly threw caution to the wind and ended up coming out of it ok (probably by the grace of God in some instances and dumb luck in others.) I lost a friend and fellow officer when he was ambushed while conducting routine search. I will always feel the pain of that loss.
More on the continuing saga over open carry. This officer makes some comment on Facebook that he would like to see open carry advocates shot with a M-4 patrol rifle. This way, he could get two weeks off on paid leave.
I understand that many find this funny; in some superficial sense it is. This video actually gives me the willies; it is fraught with portend. While the style is humorous, the content is sinister. This is another example of how style and substance can be misconstrued resulting in a message that can be used to deceive. Are we being subtly desensitized into accepting an Orwellian existence?
Unfortunately, there are many among us that would like to see this type of intrusion in our lives or at least would turn a blind eye to it. I can agree with taking a reasonable approach to keeping our environment clean and safe. However, outside of an act committed with the intent to harm the environment or some gross act of negligence, all action must come from free will. Using the force of law for such petty concerns is draconian. It is just another example of how the Marxist has no faith in the human being.
We actually have the pre-cursor to this type of governmental intrusion in our lives right here in the SF Bay Area. Did anyone notice that we could not use our fireplaces this past Thanksgiving and Christmas because it just happened to be a spare the air day? (I prefer the term “scare the air.”) What a coincidence. Common sense would dictate that those days should be exceptional due to the traditions surrounding these events. There are actually people driving around looking for smoking chimneys ready to issue a citation. What is worse, they have neighbors ready to call and turn us in!
This definitely worthy of a “What the Spank” (WTS) salute. Imagine seeing a violent crime being committed. You call the police and report it. Several months later, you are served with a summons to appear in court because you are being sued for making a false police report.
I have a great deal to say on this. Unfortunately, my time is short at this moment. I posted it anyway. Perhaps, I can get back to it at a later time and write a piece on it. Interesting issue. Click here or on the image for the article
Man bites off cop's nipple. This is a good argument for wearing body armor I suppose. But he was off duty after all. Still, I can here the talk around the locker room after this one.
