A 2 Valuable "Only Ones" 3-fer

We're the Only Ones Protecting Residents Enough:

Federal officials say MacKinnon, along with former Chief Assistant Prosecutor Gary Theunick and ex-Rose City Police Chief Maxwell Garnett obtained the weapons illegally and failed to pay taxes on them. The men say they bought the equipment to protect residents.

Jay thinks these are OK guys getting a bad rap, and tells me:

I’ve been to Rose City and surrounding areas several times. The “gun culture” there is very comforting. It isn’t like the Detroit area. Everyone has guns and no one thinks twice about it being “bad.” Most of the LEO’s I’ve met up in northern Michigan are very supportive of the 2A and expect citizens to exercise their rights. I don’t know the chief or the prosecutors personally. I do know the chief was very helpful in making sure his citizens could get CPLs without hassle.

I respect his opinion and don't dismiss it. However, and there always seems to be a "however," my litmus test is what these men would have done in their official capacities had one of us been found in possession of "illegal" guns, and our stated motive was "to protect residents." If they would have left us unmolested, then I would view this differently.

We're the Only Ones Embarrassing Enough

Four metro Detroit police officers face an array of felony charges ranging from attempted murder and assault to sexual perversion in separate criminal cases making today an embarassment for law enforcement, Wayne County prosecutors said.

What's so embarrassing? I mean, it's not like Detroit hasn't been aware of their out-of-control "Only Ones" problem--for years.

We're the Only Ones "Sexy Time" Enough

Suspended Detroit police Sgt. Roosevelt Tidwell is charged with more than a dozen felonies related to allegations that he forced several couples to perform sex acts to avoid tickets and other punishments.
