Notes from the Resistance...
“Identify Prohibited Persons The Gun Control Act (GCA), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), makes it unlawful for certain categories of persons to ship, transport, receive, or possess firearms or ammunition, to include any person … who has been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions;” [More]
Not getting the shot could have permanent side effects, too.
“No questions are asked. The Police Department does not care who is turning in the weapon. What’s important is to get firearms off the street.” [More]
Wait a sec... earlier in the story, twice actually, they said the object was to get them out of the home...
"Some people don’t know how to get rid of a weapon and were appreciative that this was a way to do it safely."
I wonder how many people they tempted into bringing in their guns knew how to clear them...
I guess "reporter" Jean Yamamura doesn't know how to ask questions and access authoritative points of view:
Evidence: Gun buybacks are ineffective as generally implemented. 1. The buybacks are too small to have an impact. 2. The guns turned in are at low risk of ever being used in a crime. 3. Replacement guns are easily acquired. Unless these three points are overcome, a gun buyback cannot be effective.Ah, well. Maybe a gangbanger managed to get the "Only Ones" to dispose of a murder weapon for him and get paid for it.
The stop is unjustified and the defendant will be allowed to withdraw his conditional guilty plea. That's what should happen when testimony is contradicted by recordings, especially those made and controlled by the law enforcement officer providing the testimony. And there's a message being sent to lower courts: when determining the credibility of witnesses, you're doing no one any favors by deciding cops are more trustworthy than their cameras. [More]
But there's no message being sent to corrupt "Only Ones" who lie under oath to try and railroad innocent citizens if the swine isn't fired, prosecuted, and thrown into gen pop.

The report found that most of the emergency activations from individual officers’ radios were never simulcast on police radio, a standard protocol designed to spread the word to other officers about emergencies and crises. The on-duty watch commander appears not to have been made aware of at least some of the system activations, the report said. [More]
