Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti is asking the LAPD police chief to stop pulling people over when they violate the law.

The Metropolitan Division that cover south Los Angeles increased traffic stop dramatically in 2018. The issue for some civil rights organizations is that nearly half of all traffic stops made by the division included African-American motorists…

…ACLU attorney Melanie Ochoa said that officers actively searching for people who might be violating the law is proof that “harassment and targeted are baked into the way the department operates,” according to the Times piece.

It’s Time for All Police to Leave Los Angeles

Once again: “officers actively searching for people who might be violating the law is proof that “harassment” Cops doing their jobs is harassment? If there is a city that lives and dies more than Miami with what happens to traffic is L.A. and ACLU wants it to make it a live version of Mad Max. I can imagine Drug dealers and human traffickers in California all happy that no longer their product can be seized in the city of Angels because of a careless driver. You have a van full of minors ready to be used for prostitution? Fear no more, their uninterrupted transport is guaranteed by the Mayor. Just remember to contribute to his re-election campaign.

But that is not all:

Not being satisfied with claims of racial profiling, the ACLU and 11 other groups wrote a letter to the mayor, the chief of police and the Police Commission overseeing the LAPD asking the Metropolitan Division to be completely pulled out of south Los Angeles.

Police-Free Zone. Who is really behind this idea? Simon Phoenix?

There is an active attack on what constitutes the basic thread of society. People are deliberately searching the creation of wide-spread chaos and I can only see one reason for it: To institute a powerful, all-controlling Central Government.

Florida criminals? Why risk the chance of being arrested when the cool climate of Police-fee Los Angeles awaits for you?

The old advice that went Go West Young Man needs to be rewritten as Go West Dear Felons!

Amy Klobuchar is a Senator for Minnesota who just announced her intention to joining the Democrat’s Clown Car to become a presidential candidate. During her announcement speech, she declared that she would do her utmost to combat climate change (AKA Global warming) while snow was falling on her and everybody gathered for the occasion.

How much of a thoughtless drone you have to be to talk about Global Warming in the middle of the Winter in Minnesota?

Oh well, the more, the merrier…for us.

You have heard the stupid comment that “A gun owner is just a criminal waiting to happen.” or “A good Guy with a Gun is  a person who has not committed a crime yet.”  It seems when it comes to commit crimes, we are way down at the bottom of the totem pole.

“With about 685,464 full-time police officers in the U.S. from 2005 to 2007, we find that there were about 103 crimes per hundred thousand officers,” CPRC President John R. Lott Jr. calculates. “For the U.S. population as a whole, the crime rate was 37 times higher—3,813 crimes per hundred thousand people,” he quickly adds to emphasize they’re already an above average demographic.

By comparison, during the nearly three decades, “Between October 1, 1987 and June 30 2017, Florida revoked 11,189 concealed handgun permits for misdemeanors or felonies,” according to the report. “This is an annual revocation rate of 10.4 permits per 100,000.”
In Texas in 2016 (the last year for which data is available), 148 permit holders were convicted of a felony or misdemeanor—a conviction rate of 12.3 per 100,000,” according to Lott. “Among police, firearms violations occur at a rate of 16.5 per 100,000 officers. Among permit holders in Florida and Texas, the rate is only 2.4 per 100,000.”

Fear & Loading: Permit Holders Obey Laws Better Than Cops

The funny part is that Gun Control fans by their own admission, belong to the Standard US population and that means they are in average, 346 times more likely to commit a crime (any crime) that us, the alleged criminals with guns.

Be kind and remind them whenever they get more stupid than usual.

Way back in the day, when wagons were made of wood and built by hand, the wagon wheel was pushed on to the axle and the then a long iron nail was driven through a hole in the end of the axle to hold the wheel in place.

That was the linchpin.  The sole job of the linchpin was to keep the wheel from falling of.

It was such small but important component of building a good wagon that the term linchpin has entered the lexicon as a critical piece or person that holds a complex system together.

Government is big and complex.  If you are a reader of this blog (or a conservative in general) you probably just said “no shit, it’s too big and too complex if you ask me,” or something to that effect, after reading the previous sentence.

The linchpin in the law is the enforcement.

The reason all of us are not in jail all the time is because law enforcement can’t enforce all the laws, against all of us, every second of every day.

The legislature can pass all the laws it wants.  It often does.  Some of those laws may be overturned by the courts.

But the legislature on its own cannot compel compliance.  It is law enforcement that must make sure people obey the law or be punished for it where the rubber meets the road.

If law enforcement decides not to enforce the law, all the committee meetings, papers signed, and stump speeches given mean exactly diddly shit.

Welcome to the State of Washington.

Several sheriffs in Washington state counties refuse to enforce new gun-law measure

Ha ha ha ha ha… fucking A!

Some sheriffs in several conservative Washington counties have refused to enforce the state’s sweeping restrictions on semi-automatic rifles until the courts decide whether they are constitutional.

Sheriffs in twelve, mostly rural, counties have decided not to enforce the law until the courts decide on the challenge, including Grant, Lincoln, Okanogan, Cowlitz, Douglas, Benton, Pacific, Stevens, Yakima, Wahkiakum, Mason and Klickitat. The police chief of Republic followed the sheriffs’ route.

“I swore an oath to defend our citizens and their constitutionally protected rights,” Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones told the Associated Press. “I do not believe the popular vote overrules that.”

Lincoln County Sheriff Wade Magers said 75 percent of voters in his county voted against the bill and called the new rules unenforceable.

I really like the idea of Law Enforcement Officials deciding not to obey illegal orders on our side.  It is a refreshing change.

“The political grandstanding is disheartening,” Renee Hopkins, the chief executive of the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, told the Associated Press. “If they do not [run the background checks], we will have a huge problem.”

Hopkins, whose group pushed for the initiative, added that only a small number of Washington’s top law enforcement officials spoke against the measure.

King and Clark County sheriffs have said they will enforce the measure while it was being challenged in court.

Renee Hopkins can kiss by hairy ass.  Most of the counties in the Blue zone of Washington State are sanctuary counties.

An illegal can drive drunk, run over a family taking a walk, get out an rape the survivors, and if he spotted in one of those counties, those Sheriffs won’t hand him over to the Federal authorities that put out the warrant for his arrest, if they arrest him at all.

That is perfectly alright with Renee Hopkins, but if some Sheriff decides that a blanket gun ban is a violation of the Constitution, that’s a “huge problem.”

Sanctuary cities and counties, as well as the states that have legalized or decriminalized marijuana have proven have established precedence that local officials and law enforcement can refuse of enforce laws they disagree with politically.

It has only become a matter of time until law enforcement on our side did the same when it came to guns.

I want more of this.

I am sure that the Marjory Stoneman Douglass kids who were killed or injured would have felt more traumatized by the drill than because of the bullets impacting in their bodies.  And, of course, we would never know because the high school did not conduct Active Shooter drills. From the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission official report

The lack of a formal Code Red or similar active assailant response policy in the Broward County Public Schools led to school personnel not knowing or clearly understanding the criteria for calling a Code Red, who could call it, or when it could be called. The lack of a called Code Red on February 14, 2018, because there was no policy, little training and no drills, left students and staff vulnerable to being shot, and some were shot because they were not notified to lockdown.

The report has to be ignored in this new legislative season. It is an embarrassment and it goes against the goals of the Florida Democratic Party, namely more Gun Control.  You do not see anybody complaining about Fire Drills but, when was the last time we had a dangerous fire in a school anywhere in the country? Yet we do Fiore Drills and kids are not traumatized by them.  I guess smoke inhalation and your skin melting off your body are not really traumatic events.

People are playing political games with the life of kids because a pile of corpses advances their agendas. Safe kids do not generate votes.

So, you have warrants in 3 counties and a suspended license while carrying half a pound of illegal substances but choose to drive at night in a car without one headlamp, a cracked windshield, no brake lights and expired tags.

And you are surprised how come the cops pulled you over.

PS: And then you resist arrest.
