This is a placeholder for now because I have not had ads on this blog for years. In case I ever start up again, this will be the policy in effect:
The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don't think we're getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you're stupid, too. I have had a few ads on this site in the past and may do so again if I think it's worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn't buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don't mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now--you're not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer.
About "The Only Ones"
The purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it's also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they're involved in gun-related incidents.
Comment House Rules
Keep them on topic. No spam. No threats against anyone except me. Do not feed trolls--I'll take out the trash. Try to keep it clean. I'm the final arbiter. If you don't like the rules, start your own damn blog.
Link Policy
WarOnGuns reciprocates links with liberty-oriented sites promoting the right to keep and bear arms for all peaceable individuals. If you have linked to me and don't see your site below, it's probably just because I haven't noticed it yet. Shoot me an email via the "Contact Form" (see above in this sidebar) if you want to fix that.
As a general rule I remove links for blogs that have been inactive for over one year.
51 to 72 months is not enough, unless they must serve it in general population. Which I will pray for. Then we'll see how tough these sonsofbitches are.
Were any of those my sons, I would save the cost of a trial myself. I wish these motherfuckers a very short and miserable life.
If they survive their prison terms, I will pray they do not survive their release.
Five of them, and no one in the department had a clue? Not even the "good" ones. Yeah, I believe that!
Wonder if we'll see laudatory posts about the officers in that department who didn't do this.
Had it not been for the tape we all know the department would have given these barbarians a pass. And isn't it curious that they were tried in federal court?
Couldn't get a prosecution in state court? Probably nobody wanted to rush to judgment.
Government as ABUSIVE father. Sorry, we're not children. Isn't the war on drugs wonderful? Drugs are bad. Therefore people suspected of selling them should be tortured with slapjacks and electricity until they sign a consent-to-search form that includes the words "of my own free will." Then the police can take their drugs and their MONEY. "Once you sign that form, we'll start bein' nice. Otherwise, I got two batteries out there and I'll hook them up to your f--ing balls." And then he does. Trembling with rage. You see, it's just a short step from tasering someone for not signing a traffic ticket to this. "Oh, Lord..." At 14 minutes, they talk about "charging him up." Who's the governor of Tenneessee? "Eugene, I'm gon' break your f-- in' finger if you don't sign."
There are times for a tape recorder, and there are times for other machinery. That's the least extreme thing I find myself able to say. "Nobody knows we're here." That's all I'd need to hear. I can hear the convicted cops now: "Years in prison for just doin' our f--in' JOB? That's what's wrong with this country." The Knoxville paper covered the trial. Interesting, that the Unitarian Church killer was in Knoxville. He was obsessed about his wife's affair and abandonment of him. That's why this country is in the shape it's in. His problem seemed bigger than Mr. Siler's.
People can talk all they want about it just being "a few bad apples," but how many apples this bad does one have to taste before one decides that apples just ain't worth it?
Hell--for that matter, how many before one decides to start burning down some orchards?
Siler was just doing what a lawyer advised here a few months ago: Never talk to the police. I guess some times that works better than others. "Sign the f--in' paper and we can get on with our duty." Siler said he had been set up before.
The cops SAY "If you don't have any dope here, then why do you object to us searching?" If you have nothing to hide, just drop 'em and bend over.
"F-- it, I'm over. Everybody step outside." "Eugene, you're gon' sign this or I'm gon' put a bullet through your f--in' head, and we're gon' plant this here BB gun." 32 minutes of coercion, 27 minutes of torture so far... Siler sounds intoxicated. If he hadn't been, I'm sure he would have suffered more. "What kinda loss would it be for us if you die, buddy?" Second cop: "Won't be no sweat offa MY b-lls!"
36 minutes: Cop 1 explains how he'll report that Siler "escaped out the back door and fought all the officers and was beating them so bad" they had to...
Then Siler offers to turn in someone else, things calm down and the recording ends.
One might say this is another public relations disaster for law enforcement everywhere.

Background where?
O.K., did you mean to link to "Annabelle the Sheep", or did someone screw around with the links and pull what you wanted?
David,
Where is the background on this?

These may help.
I hope those dirty bastards rot in hell.
They gotta be sent there first....
David,
Thanks for the quick update.
Anonymous,
Thanks for the extended info.

How many incidents like this does it take?
