Gun Free Zone

The wide use of cellphone cameras and people recording the police as brought to light many cases of police brutality resulting in bad cops getting punished.

That is a good thing.  I want dirty, abusive cops off the streets.

However, there is a dark side to this, and it is a tactic currently being employed by the protesters.

Here it is in a nutshell.

• • Protesters scream, curse, and spit in officers’ faces for twelve-plus hours of riot duty.
  • The officer has spent all day in the sun in his riot gear baking, catching an unbelievable level of abuse, and is down to his last nerve.
  • Some protester gets right up in the cops face and does something that causes him to react with force.
  • The Twitter mob shows ONLY the cop’s response and not the three days worth of around the clock abuse he’s just taken.
  • The cop is immediately doxxed and targeted and Leftist politicians demand his firing.

This is a perfect example:

Update: Got her permission with a fuck yeah. The cop pushed her so hard at Barclays & she flung back. She is tiny. Now she’s in the ER after a serious seizure. I’m waiting for updates but have to wait outside because of COVID-19. Please keep my protest sister in your thoughts. pic.twitter.com/MqV0QJ0D8h

The internet has already identified this offer and branded him a white supremacist.  I won’t share those Tweets but they are in the thread of this Tweet if you want to look.

This officer needs to be charged with assault.

Hard to watch. Brutal and unacceptable. https://t.co/zL2MHcEwCI

To which AOC responded:

NYPD officers just drove an SUV into a crowd of human beings. They could‘ve killed them, &we don’t know how many they injured.

NO ONE gets to slam an SUV through a crowd of human beings.@NYCMayor these officers need to be brought to justice, not dismissed w/“internal reviews.” https://t.co/oIaBShSC1S

None of these Leftist politicians mentioned how ANTIFA was throwing Molotov Cocktails at police cars with the police inside.

When NYPD are in their cars, having objects thrown at them, knowing that other people had just attempted to burn some other NYPD officers alive, you’d expect that they wouldn’t want to sit there and let protesters box them in until they were lit on fire.

That part of the story is not told.

This is cop baiting, pure and simple, and the protesters are using every ugly aspect of cancel culture – manipulated cellphone footage gone viral and internet sleuthing – to destroy police.

The cops that are working to control these riots are being stabbed in the back by Leftist politicians, aided by gotcha cancel culture activists.

I suspect the next thing will be the police just walking away.  If they are attacked in front by dangerous rioters and in the back by Leftist politicians they have no choice but to give up.  Fuck it and drive on.

Assault with a deadly weapon

That New York Gun Control is working flawlessly to keep crime to a minimum, right?

Bring your kid to the riot.

They brought a kid to the riot…

The screams of the little girl ripped my heart. My guess is that she got a dose of pepper spray because mom and daddy thought using her as a human shield would prevent the cops from aiming at them.

Tell me again why I am not supposed to shoot this assholes in the ass?

Two gentlemen OC and walking down the street.

Yes, Minnesota is an Open Carry State and the gentlemen were legally right and free to carry. Unfortunately, that was not the strategic thing to do.

“But Miguel! The cops are wrong! They should have not confiscated their weapons!”

Do you remember the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans? Even though it was illegal, orders were issued to confiscate guns.

And the aggrieved pair can take the cops to court and will probably win their case. But ladies and gents, we are in special and trying circumstances and if history teaches us anything about times like this is that common sense and the appreciation for the finest points of Constitutional Rights goes out the window. You must stop thinking like a graduate of the Facebook Law School and think realistically (tactically if you rather use the term.)

They were detained, weapons confiscated and then let go. What you have now is two unarmed folks having to walk back home and I hope they have back up long guns.

When the shit hits the fan (and in case you have not noticed, it has) posturing is not the best of strategies.

Hat Tip Mortar Girl

Miguel has covered this topic before and I wanted to cover it again.

DO NOT BREAK YOUR PERIMETER IN A DEFENSIVE SITUATION

Especially when you are outnumbered.  That can lead to you getting surrounded and that is the most dangerous situation to be in.

Three examples from three different protests:

Dallas:

Miguel covered the guy in Dallas who got beat to a bloody pulp.

There is a little more to this story.

Dallas Police just released new information about that graphic video showing an attack in Victory Park.

Here is the complete video:

Full unedited video for editorial requests. Please attribute to Elijah Schaffer of Blaze TV. I cannot confirm he was the store owner, but I pulled out my camera when I saw him appearing to defend a store, then he was rushed, then made the move that might have cost him his life pic.twitter.com/8oGa2obBbp

I understand that he was defending his store.  But he broke his perimeter and left the store.  That’s when he was outnumbered, surrounded, and got beat to within an inch of his life.

Salt Lake City:

This idiot gets out of his car with a compound bow, gets off one shot, and then is mobbed and beaten.  There is some debate if he was being defensive or out there to start some shit of his own.  Either way, that’s the not point.  He broke his perimeter getting out of his car.

He was interviewed by the news and look and the state that he was in:

Chicago:

Watch what happens to a couple of Chicago cops when they get outnumbered and surrounded.

https://twitter.com/brandondarby/status/1266886724250144770

That female cop was completely at the mercy of the protesters who had her on the ground and were dragging her.

I understand that the police are supported to maintain law and order and intervene in a dangerous situation, but they are so ridiculously outnumbered that it’s just an invitation for them to get into more trouble.

Three different protests.  Three different situations in which one or more people who opposed the rioters broke a defensive or defendable perimeter into an open area where they were outnumbered, and got mobbed and beaten.

If it happened to them it could happen to you.

If there are riots in your area, do not break your perimeter.  Do not let yourself get surrounded.

Arm yourself and hunker down.

Leggat, the security consultant, said intelligence reports from his colleagues indicate most of the hard-core protesters in Minneapolis are far-left or anarchists, and that far-right groups have not yet made a significant appearance. He said looting is typically done by locals – usually people with no criminal record who just get caught up in the moment.

But direct conflicts with authorities come from a mix of both locals and outside groups who see these conflicts as a core part of their mission. Many of the anarchists, he said, target banks, chain-type businesses and even luxury cars as symbols of corrupt institutions. He said even a peaceful protest can turn violent if outside agitators decide to participate, hijacking the message.

‘There are anarchists’: Minnesota officials say ‘outside agitators’ are hijacking peaceful protests

For so long they have been convinced by the words of their political Overseers that the ones to fear are the Alt-Right, that Antifa went unchecked and even had a full city governance in approval of their actions. They ignored a true domestic enemy while chasing a ghost that has had no influence pretty anywhere other than their own front pages.

And I am being nice in this post. I am assuming USA Today and its corps of Editors were simply dumb and did not catch the obvious truth in front of their noses rather than knowingly being accomplices to this mayhem by ignoring to print Antifa’s past offenses.

There are way too many videos out there showing Antifa members involved in acts of looting and destruction these past days. This one has stuck out and is being carried by many people. Paying people to riot/loot.

We have been seeing what kotowing Antifa has done to Portland and yesterday we saw clearly what they can do at a national level. The governor of Minnesota had the balls to say they were White Supremacists sabotaging peaceful demonstrations and also sent by the Cartels. Would it be too forward to ask  for a drug and alcohol test  to be done on the Gov?

Now, if the FBI would get back into the business of fighting organized crime rather than coming up with ways to cover up the many political fuck ups they committed the last four years, we may have a chance to get these assholes disbanded.

Be your long gun at arm’s length all the time.
