We're the...Hey, Teresa, Is This Yours...?

When two escapees from the DC Jail were still on the loose, police raided a home on W street Northwest. They didn't find the suspects. But in that home, they found a gun that looked awfully familiar.

It was a Glock 17, reported stolen earlier this year by DC police Lt. Teresa Brown in the Fourth District. And guess where the gun was reported stolen from? The Fourth District police station.
Honest, I don't set out each morning looking for these stories, I just kind of trip over them while out foraging for material...

We're the Only Ones Asleep at the Wheel Enough

I can't help but visualize walking up to this guy's window and popping a balloon...

I got this story from Reason Engaged, who asked if I minded him also using "the only ones" as a recurring theme. My reply:
I’m not the originator of that phrase, Lee Paige, the goofball DEA agent who shot himself in front of a classroom of children is.

My goal is to get information out so people start to think for themselves—make their own connections—have the first thought in their minds when they read stories of LEO abuse/incompetence be an “only ones” connection—because I think it is a simple and powerful tool to combat the “only the police military should have these types of firearms” lies spread by the antis and their MSM co-conspirators.

So, yeah, go for it—I’m delighted to see it spread. I’ll do some sort of post to let WarOnGuns readers know I support your efforts.

We're the Only Ones Rank Enough

Suchand Bachan says that the rank who shot him while he was on a visit to the Enmore Police Station had pointed his weapon directly at him...

Reports are that the policeman was cleaning his gun when it accidentally went off and shot Bachan in the lower abdomen...

"That particular policeman is always playing with a gun," the father said.
Just don't forget that he's the only one competent to do so.

If Wishes Were Fishes...

"If we could get the violence to stop, we could have an anti-gun-violence celebration."
Yes, someone who considers himself a "grown man" said that.

I'd like to send Commissioner Paul Mayhue a My Little Pony to play with. He could brush it's mane, and talk to it, and have a tea party with all his other dolls and stuffed animals.

In related news, he made another idiotic statement:
"It's reflective of long, hot summers. We don't need long, hot summers here."
Now there's an ambitious government program for you: Weather control!

Correcting the Record

Cam did just admit on air (6/16) that he missed that part of the article and would of confronted him on it if had read it.
We're still anxiously awaiting word on whether or not Mr. Confer has been "swayed."

This Day in History: June 17
