Another death-by-cop protest?

Ohio patrolman acquitted in 2 deaths amid 137-shot barrage - Yahoo News:

CLEVELAND (AP) — A white patrolman who fired down through the windshield of a suspect's car at the end of a 137-shot barrage that left the two unarmed black occupants dead was acquitted Saturday of criminal charges by a judge who said he could not determine the Cleveland officer alone fired the fatal shots.

High-speed chase, a cop ends it by shooting driver and passenger through the windshield while he was standing on the hood of their car.   And the dead speeders were unarmed.

No problem, says judge.  Can't determine if those shots were the cause of death. Case dismissed.

Russell, 43, and Malissa Williams, 30, were each shot more than 20 times at the end of the Nov. 29, 2012, pursuit. Prosecutors argued they were alive until Brelo's final salvo but medical examiners for both sides testified they could not determine the order in which the deadly shots were fired.
The case hinged largely on the less than 8 seconds — 7.392, to be exact — during which Brelo fired his final 15 rounds.

Chicago Wins .. America Wins!

Court Sides With SAF On Key Points In Challenge Of Chicago Gun... -- BELLEVUE, Wa., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --

Chicago loses some of its unconstitutional Gun Laws ..America Reasserts it Constitutional Rights.
(H/T: "Say Uncle")

A federal judge has sided with the Second Amendment Foundation on key points of an on-going legal action against the City of Chicago that challenges the city's municipal code regarding gun ranges inside the city. 

 --

"Every day on which Chicago loses some of its unconstitutional laws," observed attorney Alan Gura, who represents SAF in this litigation, "is a better day than the one before. This latest decision brings Chicago that much closer to the rest of America, where responsible, law-abiding people can practically access gun ranges for safety training and recreation. We are studying our options for improving this positive outcome." 

 In her ruling, Judge Kendall noted that Chicago police officials "admitted that they had no data or empirical evidence that any criminal impact would occur due to the presence of a firing range, or that it would be lessened by placing ranges in manufacturing districts." Indeed, plaintiff's expert Lorin Kramer "testified that he was unaware of any location throughout the country where crime increased as a result of a gun range in that location." 

This is A Good Day for America.

While the "gun violence" daily exercised by drug gangs in Chicago has been a serious problem , the continued efforts of the Chicago mayor R.E. to restrict access to self-defensive firearms has undermined the ability of law-abiding citizens to take control of their streets.

Today, they  have full access to close-by, local shooting ranges where they can practice their control of entirely legal firearms.

This may give them an advantage of over gang-bangers who notoriously practice "Prey & Spray"  (sic) tactics during street-level gun-fights, often resulting in the unintended accidental deaths of nearby innocents.  Casualties for which the drug dealers seemingly hold no remorse.

It is too soon to tell whether the determination of local legal firearms owners to protect their neighborhoods will be successful, but one thing is clear:

With access to a place to hone their shooting skills, the "neighborhood" has just increased its ability to enhance accuracy with their newly acquired firearms.  Very likely it's a metaphorical "Take Back Your Neighborhood" effort which will yield mixed results; be prepared for the likelihood that the Hood's population will drop real soon.

The Lambs will become Sheep-dogs.  Some of this "bad business" is coming home to roost.

It's their neighborhood, and they WILL take it back!

Suspicions Confirmed

Gun deaths are exaggerated by the media:

In 2012, the U.S. was No. 3 on the world list in gun deaths. Remove the numbers from four Democrat-controlled U.S. cities with draconian anti-gun laws (Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans and Washington, D.C.), and the U.S. falls to fourth from the bottom.

I'm not surprised to hear this about Chicago, Detroit and DC; but New Orleans?

I had no idea.

That they are all Democrat Enclaves ... well, most metropolitan areas are Democrat-controlled.

That's where the Welfare Mothers live.   That's were the drug gangs live.

VERY Interesting -- but Stupid!: Freedom For Cash

YouTube - Video Shows Officer Offering Truckers Freedom For Cash
Tennessee Law Enforcement ... "Give up the Drug Money, and we'll let you go free!"

I don''t know if this is a legitimate law enforcement tactic or not, but the District Attorney General has a hard time deciding how to justify the practice of intimidating truck drivers to get them to give up the 'Drug Money' they are carrying (supposedly, knowingly).

Anything that undermines the profit motive from Drug Running is "A Good Thing", right?

Or is it? I don't know.

YOU watch, you decide.



Hat Tip:

War on Guns

PS: I would LOVE to hear how these drivers explain how they lost a half-million dollars to their drug-dealer honchos.

Wouldn't you?

Especially, after the seizure is posted on You Tube.

Sorry, guys, but I think that the Tennessee cops have just undermined their program: these drivers will no longer be seen, except perhaps as evidence in the alimentary tract of no-longer-starving coyotes in Mexico.
