San Juan police told Action 4 News they found items that no ordinary citizen should be in possession of mere feet from an elementary school.

"The only type of person who should have this is law enforcement," said Sgt. Rudy Luna. "We will find out where he got this and who sold this to him."

50 ballistic helmets, 26 high powered rifle magazines, over 600 rounds of ammunition, and 24 pairs of tactical boots were all found inside a home in the 7,000 block of Fern Street Sunday afternoon.

Police told Action 4 News to buy these items a person has to have a special license and the man in possession of these items did not.

"You have to show proof of law enforcement," said Luna. "It is under investigation of how he gained possession of this equipment."

Katie, Sergeant Rudy Luna may earnestly wish it to be so, but it is there is no such law on Texas's books UNLESS the man arrested was a felon, and tha is federal law. Moreover, if there was such a law on Texas' books- then why NO charges yet?

Oh, and Katie if you doubt me, visit any SAXET Gun Show, there is ALWAYS body armor and ballistic helmets for sale. It appears you just missed your chance- but another is coming in four weeks.

As for everyone else, hit the link and go watch, as this well fed "Only One", makes his statements.

And as to both of you, I did not bring up Mexico, as you offered NO PROOF- just speculation, and speculating is easy, isn't it?

The Itchy Kitty Badge Award Winner is- Officer Scherise Hobbs!

Found via David Codrea's blog here.

And to think, no one wants an itchy kitty!



But, someone obviously did and his name is, "...(Sgt. Eric) Torgerson", who, "arranged for meetings under the Morrison Bridge and at NE 42nd and Sandy."

Sgt. Torgerson must have been trying to tame a bad kitty- which is obviously easier to do than actually fight crime...

1 in 20: NYPD Officer Says He Has Arrest, Ticket Quota

The arrest and ticket quota is supposed to be an urban myth, but one NYPD officer told ABCNews that it is anything but. He works in the Bronx and says he's "not going to keep arresting innocent people."

"Police Officers like others who receive compensation are provided productivity goals and they are expected to work."

So, that means they are OBLIGATED to create criminals.

What did Ayn Rand say? Oh yes:

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."

Good on this NYC "Peace Officer" for speaking up.

Botched Paramilitary Police Raids: Interactive Map

Botched Paramilitary Police Raids:
An Epidemic of "Isolated Incidents"

"If a widespread pattern of [knock-and-announce] violations were shown . . . there would be reason for grave concern."

An interactive map of botched SWAT and paramilitary police raids, released in conjunction with the Cato policy paper "Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids," by Radley Balko.

CSMK sent me the link to this great tool at CATO (does require Javascript) I just wish it also mapped David Codrea's Only Ones too.

"We thought based on the facts and the evidence, including the video tape, that there was no reasonable likelihood of conviction at trial," said Lee Cohen, assistant state attorney in charge of the county court division, which handles misdemeanor cases.

Hit the link in the title and watch the three "ONLY ONES" while his friends do nothing.

How soon are those Jack-Booted Thugs going to be arrested, tried and convicted Lee?

Add another SS company in these united States:

Originally found via Bane but linked article is at Kim du Toit which actually takes you to the Reason Hit&Run:

The Richland County, South Carolina Sheriff's Department (that's them above) just obtained an armored personnel carrier, complete with a belt-fed, .50-cal turreted machine gun. Sheriff Leon Lott has charmingly named the vehicle "The Peacemaker," and insists that using a caliber of ammunition that even the U.S. military is reluctant to use against human targets (it's generally reserved for use against armored vehicles) will "save lives."

Now, for us who ain't the "Only Ones", you can always get yourself a bolt gun and a good scope...
