We're the Only Ones "A Man's Gotta Do What a Man's Gotta Do" Enough

"A police officer in fear for his life has to do what he has to do," attorney Adam Sean Cohen told reporter...[More]

And if that means shooting an unarmed citizen and then going on the lam, so be it.

We're the Only Ones Sharp Enough

And now the county prosecutor is having to hold another investigation - into the department that seized the knives in the first place. Seems about a third of them had "disappeared" from the evidence room between the time they were seized and the court order to return them. [More]

I want to show you something. It's my shocked face.

We're the Only Ones Dim Enough

They were told they had been stopped because the high beams were on...[More]

Which explains the need for the overwhelming force armed takedown.

And if the victims had defended themselves from their unidentifiable attackers, their execution would have been deemed proper protocol. If the choice involves who the "Only Ones" going home at the end of the shift will be, guess who wins?

So would it be fair to call it a "spate"?

This Day in History: June 15

Up to this time, the American officers had accepted the British practice of letting the sergeants drill the men, as it was thought to be ungentlemanly for officers to do so. Von Steuben set a precedent by working with the troops personally. The American officers felt threatened by this practice, as well as by the seemingly unlimited powers of Steuben’s office. Consequently, on June 15, 1778, Washington issued orders to govern the Inspector General’s office until Congress took further steps. The Baron’s willingness and ability to work with the men, as well as his use of profanity (in several different languages), made him popular among the soldiers. [More]
