More and more evidence is pointing to J6 being an inside job. If it turns out that the FBI can be proven to have been the driving force behind the events on J6, the only rational response is to eliminate the entire agency and fire every single one of its agents. Take off and nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.
We are in the middle of watching segments of our government try to overthrow the legitimate powers that be in order to institute a dictatorial police state. I have been saying this for nearly five years.
Why? Because you need an ID to lie on a park bench, but you don’t need one to vote.
It’s time for qualified immunity to go. As a health care professional, I have to carry a million dollars in malpractice insurance. It’s time we make cops do the same.
Can we here in Florida get a petition to have this added to next year’s election as a State Constitutional Amendment?
Facts of this case:
On June 7, 2019, Keokuk, Iowa Police Officer Tanner Walden responded to a report that someone was sleeping in a park. Walden found Land, who was watching the sunset on a park bench. Land told Walden that he had not been sleeping and was not in distress. Walden asked for identification, and Land refused. Walden arrested Land for misdemeanor interference with official acts. During a search, officers found drug paraphernalia and added a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. The incident was captured on Walden’s body-worn camera.
On August 27, 2019, a judge dismissed the charges against Land because the pretext for the stop was improper.
On June 6, 2021, Land filed a federal lawsuit against the city and Walden, claiming violations of his rights under the Fourth Amendment.
On September 20, 2021, the city claimed that Walden “exercised all due care to comply with the law and is entitled to qualified immunity” and also (in October 2022) that Walden had reasonable suspicion as required by Terry v Ohio and probable cause to arrest Land.
On October 26, 2022, the judge disagreed when he ruled that Walden’s contact with Land should have ended when it became clear that Land was not sleeping in the park or in need of assistance, and that the city was not responsible for Walden’s actions.
On November 22, 2022, the city settled the lawsuit for $30,000.
There is no winning here. Let’s say you see a cop doing this to your wife. It doesn’t matter if he is right or wrong, overpowering this cop, holding him at gunpoint, or shooting him will result in your death, no matter how unlawful his actions were.
The saddest part is that her kids were acting like their mother was in the wrong.
I would not have been as calm about this stop as this guy was, especially when the cop grabbed me by the throat. The officer involved is Matthew Mercado of the Walnut Ridge, Arkansas police department.
When the man in the video, Adam Finley, went to the Walnut Ridge Police Department to complain, he was given citations for refusal to submit to arrest and obstructing governmental operations with the tickets being written by officer Matt Cook with the permission of Police Chief Chris Kirksey. After a trial on April 3, 2017, in Lawrence County District Court, Finley was acquitted of the charges.
Finley sued, and the city of Walnut Ridge settled out of court, paying him $57,500 in damages.
I used to be fairly backing of the cops. No longer. As far as I am concerned, the police are an out of control, armed, criminal gang of violent assholes who only use force when they know the subject of their bullying behavior can’t fight back.
You might scoff, but remember that it won’t be UK police coming to arrest you. It will be US cops coming to haul you away to be sent to the UK for doing something that is entirely legal to do here in the US.
Monongah, WV is a small town with a population of 972 people. It’s crime rate is 5 per 100,000 people, or one seventh the crime rate of the US, which is 35 per 100,000. Last year, there were no reported murders, auto thefts, burglaries, rapes, or robberies. In other words, a typical American small town with little to no crime. The only real crimes in the town are physical fights, and even those occur at half the national average.
Last Thursday, some random guy with a drop leg holster and a generic “Police” t shirt that anyone can buy for $16 on Amazon tried to pull a woman out of her car in this town. She demands to see his police ID, and the man refuses, so she drives away- 30 yards to her mother’s driveway.
When he catches up to her, he tells her that he is going to “fucking shoot” her if she doesn’t roll the window down. When a bystander overhears this, she yells something that sounds like “We should take your badge,” to which the cop replies “Fuck you.”
Yep, he is Monongah, WV Chief of Police Nathan Lanham. Or he was, but more on that later. He is threatening to kill someone over what? Police can’t use lethal force as a compliance device. Lethal force is not reasonable to effect a traffic stop. He feels safe enough to tell bystanders to f/o while turning his back on the ‘threat’. What he is doing would be called aggravated assault, which is a forcible felony.
At what point is it morally justified for someone to step in and shoot this fat fucking tyrant? I assure you that, should someone find me on the jury after they do this, I would NOT vote to convict. It seems that the people of Monongah feel the same way.
She was arrested and charged with felony fleeing in a vehicle with reckless indifference to the safety of others. The charges were dismissed after she spent 5 nights in jail because she couldn’t come up with $125,000 in bail money. Even though charges have been dropped, Beth Delloma says that she remains terrified that the rogue officer will attempt revenge on her in the future.
The arrest report states that he was in uniform and driving a marked vehicle. He says he activated his “marked patrol vehicle’s emergency equipment to conduct a traffic stop.” None of those statements is true. That’s called perjury, which is also a felony. With officers like this, it is hard to argue that the people of Monongah are safer with a police department than they are without one.
At any rate, the public outcry once this video went public was so great that there was a town meeting on Monday night, with the citizens showing up, demanding that Lanham be fired, but he resigned before they could do so. The odd part is that it also appears that he was a cop in the nearby town of Rivesville, WV and three other towns while also working as Monongah police chief.
In fact, as of 5/14/24, Lanham was no longer with Rivesville. He was named Chief of Monongah PD on 5/25/24.
Why do cops feel the need to wear clothes looking like they are about to assault Fallujah, or else looking like complete slobs? What ever happened to neat police uniforms?
It could be that the two people killed in the house were victims of the original nutball who prompted all of this, or it could be that they were struck by bullets fired by the “brave” cops who were indiscriminately firing at the sound of gunfire in a “spray and pray” tactic.
Either way, I don’t care about the cops who were killed, and I don’t care about the crazy bitch who likely bought it. I will reserve my sympathy for any innocent bystanders. To anyone reading this who is a cop- stop being tyrannical cowardly assholes that slap unarmed citizens around, toss grenades into baby cribs, arrest parents who are demanding that you do your jobs, and rid your profession of the dead wood, and maybe I will care again.
It’s really a shame, because I used to have lots of love and respect for a profession that has lost its way.
* On a side note, the driver in the original Eustis case does not have any record of charges actually being filed against him in that county at any point this year. I am guessing that the State Attorney didn’t think that his behavior warranted criminal charges, still it cost him money to get his car out of impound. All for telling a cop that where he worked was none of his business. I would consider an attorney, were I in his place.
THROATUS claims that she will sign an executive order in her first 100 days that will require Americans to turn in their guns, because Congress won’t act.
If Congress won’t act, there is no Constitutional way for the President to just order people around
The President can’t violate the Constitutional rights of Americans with an EO
Even if she COULD do so, where will the money to enforce this unfunded mandate come from?
There are 600 million guns in this country. There aren’t enough cops to enforce such an order
Especially when cops stop volunteering after a few thousand get shot
Sure, plate readers and cameras solved THIS crime. Still, how many millions of cars drove by and were catalogued to catch this one criminal, and what is all of that trace data being used for?
Using security camera footage from the apartment and nearby businesses, the detective determined Sterns’s Lincoln left the Venetian Bay Village apartments on Feb. 26 at 7:40 a.m. and then returned around 10:14 a.m.
Sterns’ vehicle left the apartment complex again at 11:03 a.m. and returned 53 minutes later, records show.
The Lincoln left the apartment a third time around 12:44 p.m. and travelled east along U.S. 192 towards St. Cloud where it was photographed by traffic cameras…
At 1:16 p.m., a security camera at a charter school captured video of a car with a similar color, style and size driving southbound on Old Hickory Tree Road.
The same vehicle was recorded heading northbound on Old Hickory Tree Road around 2:11 p.m., records show, before returning to the apartment at 2:43 p.m.
Tracked by at least half a dozen cameras and several plate readers. How much data do they have on YOU?
