Jones, who is now a captain and is still overseeing the police department’s Executive Protection Unit, used taxpayer dollars to purchase a Glock 43 9mm-caliber handgun in 2016, and declared under penalty of perjury that the gun would only be used by the department, the documents show. Instead, it was issued to former Chief Financial Officer Jim Beard on the same day it was purchased, a potential violation of federal law. [More]

Leave it to them to add a whole new dimension to "Don't lie for the other guy." I guess that's why they're trained professionals and we're not.

Not Ideologically Pure Enough

John Cusack calls for boycott of MSNBC over its coverage of Bernie Sanders as one commentator claims the 2020 hopeful is 'more dangerous' than Donald Trump [More]

I guess the cognitive dissonance of being an overprivileged collectivist with a net worth of $50M  must have him deluded into thinking the tumbrils won't come for him when he's no longer useful, the mask for being about "social justice" is no longer needed by the violence monopoly, and a connected functionary decides it's time to set up residence in his mansion.

As an admittedly subjective side note, what a forgettable "actor."

He recognizes what's at work but seems a little weak on the deadly totalitarian implications of why. His admission of leftists sympathies and conclusion that "Don't worry, be happy/Close your eyes and think of England" are the preferred responses tell me solutions will be better found elsewhere.

So Now Metaphors are Libelous?

Justice Samuel Alito penned an eight-page dissent, saying the case “presents questions that go to the very heart of the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech and freedom of the press: the protection afforded to journalists and others who use harsh language in criticizing opposing advocacy on one of the most important public issues of the day.” [More]

He's right and it goes beyond that. Under such "standards," King George could sue the signers of the Declaration.

We're the Only Ones Obstructing Enough

Sheriff Laurie Smith’s office, by its own admission, does not keep a tally of how many applications for concealed firearms are received each year, and it has refused to answer questions about what the criteria for approval might be, making it difficult to get an idea of how the applications are evaluated.
