Cops

To the Commenter Who Just Tried to Post Stupidity

If you come to this website and urge or ask me to commit an act against the law, I am not going to post it. If you email that same idea to me, I am going to toss it in the trash. As much as I like my readers, I don’t know any of you well enough to entertain or allow such ideas, even if I were wanting to break the law (which I am not).

I’ve had a few of them through the years. A guy offered to sell me a full auto M2 carbine for $1500. Swore up and down he wasn’t a cop. Yeah. Another guy actually came to my house and asked me to build him an AR with some unlawful features. That’s what happened at Ruby Ridge, I am not dumb.

In 2022, someone came on this blog and suggested we form a group and take some kinetic action against some lefty targets. They were specific about details. They were dumb enough to post that comment from an IP that traces back to a Federal Law enforcement office in the DC area. For Christ’s sake, the Feds in that case were too stupid to even spoof an IP?

All of this happened in the same time frame that the ATF was looking for people to sick their informants on. Like this poor guy who got busted for having an SBR when he took a friend to the range, but the friend was being forced to inform on other shooters. In this case, the informant was an illegal immigrant who was cutting a deal:

In her complaint, Shaw never says why she targeted Mejia, or why the informant was sent to his home.

The informant, or CHS, wasn’t paid for setting up Mejia. Instead, they were cooperating with the FBI to avoid prosecution by ICE.

No one here is going to tell you about how they are plotting violence, or how they are flouting the law. This blog is being run in the public eye. I am not stupid enough to be locked up in a cell without bail, getting beaten every day while I await a trial that isn’t going to happen. This blog gets a couple of million hits a year, and I am certain some of them are law enforcement. I will not break the law on this blog or anywhere else, and I will not join in with your militia group or your little club. If there are ten of you in the club, I would bet at least six of you are informing on the others, but likely don’t even know the others are informants as well.

Like this case, where 13 people in Orlando had their charges dropped after an informant was paid $40,000 to set them up. For that kind of cash, there are informants out there who routinely trick people into breaking the law. Those informants make a living at it. Two or three of those cases a year, and a person can make a pretty good living for almost no effort.

Anyone who has been paying attention to the J6 case know that the Feds operate by getting you to say inflammatory, illegal things and then framing you for it.

I recently read the book about the OKC bombing and how McVeigh was actually a Federal informant. In fact, there were several informants located in the circles McVeigh was traveling.

Then there is this:

There is an old saying I repeat on this blog from time to time: How do you spot the Fed or the police informant? He is the one urging you to break the law.

Nice try, though.

EDITED TO ADD:

And if you AREN’T a Fed or an informant, I would apologize for that, but you are stupid. This blog is read by the PUBLIC. Why would you advertise in my comments about your future illegal adventures? So even if you aren’t a Fed, and I was in the mood to break the law, I would not want to have anything to do with you or your activities because you are too stupid to remain uncaught.

Illegal Alien Gonna Arrest You

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. ICE agents arrested a New Orleans police recruit back in January. He was set to graduate and become a police officer. He had already been issued a gun despite the fact that he could not legally carry a weapon as an illegal alien under Federal law. Larry Temah originally entered the United States legally in 2015 on a visitor visa from Cameroon.

In 2016, he was granted conditional residency after marrying a U.S. citizen. However, in 2022, his application for permanent residency was denied due to fraud. Temah was ordered to appear in immigration court three times but continued to disregard U.S. law by not showing up, resulting in the immigration judge ordering him removed in absentia. He did not have valid work authorization.

It’s a felony for a person who is an illegal alien to possess a firearm or ammunition. Think about that- the cop who is arresting you may just in fact be a felon.

It should come as no surprise- the police chief of New Orleans is a DEI hire herself- she was the police chief of Oakland until 2020, when she got fired. She ran over two people with her car back in 2024. Did I mention she gets paid $340k a year?

This opens a bigger can of worms: When an illegal immigrant cop comes to confiscate your guns and arrest you while themselves committing the felony of unlawful firearms possession, is it legal to resist with force? What about their fellow cops? How many of THEM will side with their illegal immigrant police brethren? Isn’t that an accessory?

Sworn to uphold the law, my ass. However, I am betting when shit does go sideways, these illegal immigrant cops will be loyal to whoever is writing their paychecks.

Likely Not the Cops

I know I give cops a lot of shit on here when they screw up. This case out of El Paso is not one of those times. Let’s watch the video, then we can discuss it.

Watching the video, it appears like this man is on some sort of drugs. This isn’t a mental health breakdown in my opinion. The cop uses his TASER.

There are some in comments to the above post, claiming the TASER was used too many times and stopped the man’s heart. That’s not the case. A TASER delivers 3 joules of energy. A defibrillator delivers 200-360 joules to an adult heart. There simply isn’t enough energy in a TASER to stop a person’s heart. In the cases of in-custody death that occurred after TASER deployment, it turns out the decedent had cocaine on board nearly every time.

One thing that may have contributed to the death was something called positional asphyxia. When a person is handcuffed with his hands behind his back and is placed in a prone position, the chest can’t fully expand and the person can die as a result. In that case, the cops would have been at fault to at least some extent. A person whose hands are cuffed behind him MUST NOT be placed in a prone position, especially if they are already exerting themselves in an attempt to breathe, such as immediately following an extended wrestling match with arresting officers, as per guidelines from the US Department of Justice.

The cause of most explained in-custody deaths is a little-known phenomenon called positional asphyxia, in which body position interferes with the ability to breathe. Several pre-existing factors are identified that increase an individual’s susceptibility to positional asphyxia, including cocaine-induced frenzied behavior, other drugs and/or alcohol intoxication, violent struggle resulting in restraint of subject, and unresponsiveness during or immediately after struggle. A subject’s pre-existing risk, coupled with their body position when subdued or in transit, can combine to substantially increase their risk of sudden death from positional asphyxia. 

This is why I recommend to all paramedics and nurses that they not transport or treat anyone whose hands are cuffed behind their back, especially not in a supine or even prone position. The patient should be sitting up, or can have both hands cuffed to a bed or stretcher. The Joint Commission (TJC) standards outline strict rules and requirements for managing patients in restraints or seclusion, emphasizing that these measures are high-risk emergency interventions.

Hospitals must have explicit written protocols detailing continuous or frequent observation:

  • Patients must be monitored continuously or at frequent intervals determined by hospital policy (often documented every 15 minutes)
  • Restraining a patient in a prone (face-down) position is highly restricted due to the severe risk of positional asphyxia; patients should typically be kept in a supine position with the head of the bed elevated if aspiration is a risk
  • Staff must regularly assess and document the patient’s physical status, including vital signs, skin integrity, circulation in restrained limbs, hygiene, and the offering of nutrition, hydration, and toileting

Still, I think (looking at this video) the base cause here was whatever drugs were in this man’s system.

Forfeiture

Brought to you by the same people who keep your cash if they find it in your car during a traffic stop:

Police request public’s help to find suspect who picked up $30 off ground in Walmart

Since they couldn’t solve the case of the murder of 9 year old Nigel Brown and the charges against his killer, Gerdnardric Pittman, were dropped by the District Attorney’s office, I would have taken my chances. This would never have gone to court.

Black men who murder 9 year old white kids walk free, but an old white man who finds 30 bucks on the ground are the subject of nationwide manhunts.

I’m Sure Most of Them Aren’t Like This

Just this past February, an FHP trooper was driving down US 192 near Melbourne and sawa a motorcycle blow by him in the opposite direction at 111 mph. He is heard to say on his dash camera: “That guy’s going to jail,” as he turned the car around to give chase.

I know this area well. There is a spot not far from where this stop took place where the road enters a curve and the speed limit drops from 45 to 35. I took my foot off the gas and entered the curve. When the curve ended, I saw a cop sitting there. I got a speeding ticket for going 42 in a 35.

FHP troopers are well known for ticketing everyone. After all, traffic enforcement is their entire job. That’s all they do. Florida has a law called the “super speeder law,” making it a crime to drive more than 100 mph. First time offenders can face up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor. It also turns out the rider didn’t have a motorcycle endorsement. In Florida, you must have a motorcycle endorsement on your license in order to operate a motorcycle. FHP troopers are well known for ticketing everyone. After all, traffic enforcement is their entire job. That’s all they do. This motorcyclist was in a world of trouble.

Or he would have been, except the motorcycle rider was a fellow cop that had worked for Brevard County as a Deputy since 2024. Not just any cop, he is the Brevard county Deputy of the Year. He was awarded the medal of valor for shooting a suicidal man he had claimed charged him with a knife. One same day as the awards ceremony, the deputy’s ex-girlfriend sent an email to the sheriff’s office detailing numerous allegations against the deputy. They are pretty serious (see below).

Back to the traffic stop: The entire stop was caught on the trooper’s dash cam. Since the stop had been called in, the trooper had to do SOMETHING, so the cop returned to his patrol car and called his sergeant for advice. The sergeant told the trooper it was up to him what he did, so the Deputy got a citation for 9 mph over the speed limit. The deputy has resigned so as to avoid being terminated and losing his ability to be a cop somewhere else.

This story would have been enough for a blog post on its own, but there is more, far more to the story.

The email from Deputy Crime Wave’s ex-girlfriend caused some of his crimes to come to light:

  • placing his department issued firearm in his ex-girlfriend’s mouth and pointing it at the back of her head during sex
  • making an inappropriate Facetime call from his patrol car while wearing his uniform as he masturbated
  • appearing to perform a “Nazi salute” in a photograph captured shortly before he was hired as a deputy
  • using racially insensitive language in text messages, calling some of the people he came into contact with “niggers”
  • accessing the agency’s Flock camera license plate reader system to stalk his ex-girlfriend

After Sheriff Wayne Ivey expressed his intent to terminate the Deputy of the Year, he resigned. Even though the Sherriff’s department’s investigation revealed criminal acts on the part of the Deputy, there is no indication that he was criminally charged or even investigated. It turns out the FHP trooper’s stop wasn’t the first time he had been stopped for the same offense- there were at least four occasions in two months while riding his motorcycle off duty. 

The investigation of this one man crime wave eventually caught up other cops, including the FHP trooper. The FHP’s Office of Professional Compliance is reviewing the trooper’s actions.

“Trooper (Joshua) Provencher was aware that Deputy Fultz’s speed, along with the traffic conditions which made his speed a danger to other drivers, met the statutory criminal requirements for the new ‘super speeder law’,” sheriff’s investigators wrote. “Deputy Fultz admitted the speeds at which he was travelling did violate the ‘super speeder’ law, and he was aware that BCSO and FHP were in a current campaign to aggressively curtail excessive and unlawful speeding.”

This isn’t a story about one criminal wearing a badge, as bad as that would be. This deputy was caught multiple times (at least four) violating the law, but other cops let him go. The FHP trooper in this story even called his supervisor, who also told the trooper it was fine to let him go.

There are people who read this blog that would say I am anti-cop. That’s nonsense. I just want cops held to the same standards as the rest of us. Others would say this cop is just a bad apple. That’s also nonsense- at least five other cops permitted this behavior and let him go when the law clearly demanded they do something.

The FHP trooper falsified documents, showed favoritism, and his Sergeant was a willing accomplice with a “It’s up to you whether or not you let him go,” wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

This is a widespread practice amongst cops, although many or even most will deny it. There are bad cops, then there are also good cops who overlook the criminal of the bad cops because they are cops, which makes all of them bad cops.

That’s the reason why we as a society need to limit the powers we grant to our police, and need to closely supervise and monitor them.

Crazy

A man broke up with his girlfriend. That morning, she claims to have been getting her hair done and had a “hunch” he would be at another woman’s house. She showed up there and began attacking him. He left in his car, she followed him and kept ramming his car with her own. Hey, the old saying is “don’t put your dick in crazy.” It’s even worse when the crazy woman who is ramming your car happens to be a police officer.

So what was name of this hunch that allowed the woman to find him? I think there is a good chance it wasn’t really a hunch, but was instead Flock.

In a side note, the police department she worked for was recently mentioned in this blog when one of its patrol supervisors was doing 124 miles per hour with lights and sirens on because he was late for work.

DEI and the Cops

A high ranking New York police administrator was arrested for assisting while her husband (a gang member) and her son (also a gang member) were performing a drive by shooting of a rival gang member. My guess is that she is also a gang member.

She is the (get this) “Deputy Commissioner of Wellness” for the Mount Vernon Police Department. WTF is a “Deputy Commissioner of Wellness?” My guess is it’s a DEI position that pays lots of money and was created solely as a showcase position that allows the department to show how woke they are without having to place a lot of responsibility on the HNIC’s shoulders.

Just don’t be dissin them, or they might do a drive-by on you and your hood and shit.

Gnome sayin? Dat hoe be represenin.

Lying By Omission

Police are now being instructed to hide the fact that a Flock camera was used in your case.

Meanwhile, I live in a town so small that half of it doesn’t even have water/sewer service.

But we just got three Flock cameras. There aren’t even 2000 people in this town. A quarter of my property tax bill pays for police and Flock cameras. I can’t wait to vote to cut taxes in November.

Every Time

Every time I see a story like this, cops comment on here about how I am “anti-cop.” No, I am anti criminal. This cop beat the shit out of someone, breaking 8 ribs, puncturing his lung, and giving him a concussion. Then he compounded it by turning off his body camera (thereby destroying evidence) and lied in his arrest report (thereby committing perjury).

Above the Law

A police officer was caught using his lights and sirens to get to work while driving at speeds up to 124 miles per hour, all because he was late for work. The internal affairs investigation used the GPS tracker in his patrol car to verify his speed. He was caught when other officers saw him driving by with his emergency lights on. I applaud those officers for trying to be good cops.

I want you to consider that the new law in Florida declares a person to be a “super speeder” for going 50 mph or more over the limit or traveling at 100 mph or more. “Super speeding” is a criminal offense.

In the end, the cop in question was given a slap on the wrist when he received a three-day unpaid suspension, lost his take-home police vehicle for 30 days and was placed on six months of employment probation. I’m sure he also was given a good, stern talking to. The police chief said GPS can’t be used to establish speed, therefore they couldn’t do anything more.

Under Florida Statute § 316.2398, the unauthorized or improper display of emergency red warning lights by a volunteer firefighter on a private vehicle is a nonmoving traffic violation, and results in mandatory dismissal from their firefighting organization.

Why aren’t cops held at least to the standard that volunteer firefighters have to follow?
