    Denver police released bodycam footage last week of the moment officers rammed down the back door of a 7-Eleven and fired 36 rounds at a suspect who was holding a store clerk hostage with a nail-pulling tool, killing him. The fatal police shooting came after Christopher Cauch, 43, had barricaded himself and two others in the back of the convenience store on the evening of March 1, according to the Denver Post. Four officers responding to reports of a stabbing and robbery at the convenience store found that a store clerk was “under duress” in a back room, Chief Ron...

    Tennessee State Senator Charlane Oliver (D-Nashville) warned state Republicans on Thursday moments after the Tennessee General Assembly passed a bill prohibiting local governments from inhibiting law enforcement that her Democrat constituents may respond with riots. @FoxNashville posted footage of the Thursday press conference at which Oliver and other Democrat legislators held at the Capitol in which they announced their disapproval of the bill. The legislation easily passed in the State Senate on Thursday in a partisan vote 26 to 6. The previous week, the Tennessee House passed the bill in a partisan 68 to 24 vote. “So yeah, we’re gonna...

    VIDEOThis is a local story that should be national. The Democrat Sheriff of Palm Beach County, Ric Bradshaw, has DENOUNCED the federal open border policy that has allowed this country to be flooded with dangerous illegal aliens. Three of the illegals were just arrested in his jurisdiction for sexually assaulting a local woman. Meanwhile Joe Biden who ALREADY has the power to shut down the border without any additional legislation is now on an apology tour for calling an illegal murderer "illegal."

    On Saturday, a San Bernardino sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a 15-year-old. According to BLM and the media, the deputy slaughtered an autistic black teenager in cold blood. According to known facts, 15-year-old Ryan Gainer’s family called the sheriff because the allegedly autistic teen was terrorizing them. Gainer attacked the deputy, who fired in self-defense.A story from Britain’s Guardian tips you off to how the piece will be covered: “California officer shoots and kills boy, 15, holding gardening tool.” Imagine a peaceful child raking the lawn when a sheriff drives by and fires. However, even The Guardian explains that the...

    An autistic boy was shot dead by police in California after he ran towards them with a bladed gardening tool, according to officials. Harrowing bodycam footage shows the moment Ryan Gainer, 15, runs out of his Apple Valley in San Bernardino county on Saturday and towards the deputies. A deputy is heard saying, 'Hey get back! Get back or you're gonna get shot,' before opening fire. Police showed up at his home after receiving a 911 call reporting the teen was assaulting family members and damaging property, as reported by KTLA. According to an official report, Gainer charged at the...

    The city of Toronto has a car theft problem, and it doesn't sound like police have much of a clue as to how to combat it. In a recent safety meeting, one officer even gave advice that basically boiled down to: If thieves come knocking to steal your car, just let 'em have it. As reported by blogTO, Toronto Police Service Constable Marco Ricciardi said, "To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your [key] fobs at your front door because they're breaking into your home to steal your car. They don't want anything else." On the...

    Pittsburgh’s Bureau of Police is responding to staffing shortages by foregoing any officer presence in dispatch offices 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. daily. The Daily Mail reported that the cut was announced last month by Pittsburgh police chief Larry Scirotto, who noted, “Data said that from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m that we had 8% of our call volume, yet we had 33% of our personnel working during those periods of time.” Scirotto’s decision comes as the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police has dwindled to just 740 officers. In late February, Breitbart News pointed out Scirotto also made clear officers would...

Prepping to execute, [kill] one of his colleagues.” ... Tony said that when one of Molina’s co-workers exited the...

    Pittsburgh police will no longer personally respond to calls that aren’t considered “in-progress emergencies” after recent department policy changes.

Dispatch will assign reports to the TRU for calls that do not require an in-person response by officers. TRU will NOT be assigned to any “In Progress” call where a suspect may be on scene, any crime where a person may need medical aid, any domestic dispute,...

    The Alaska Supreme Court ruled on Friday that law enforcement officers in Alaska are not permitted to conduct aerial surveillance of a person’s yard using a zoom lens without first obtaining a warrant. In its ruling, the court said that it disagrees with the state’s claim that such surveillance was constitutional “because small airplane travel is so common in Alaska, and because any passenger might peer into your yard and snap a picture of you, law enforcement officials may do the same.” “The Alaska Constitution protects the right to be free of unreasonable searches,” the court stated in a 34-page...

    Now that South Carolina has officially become the 29th state to adopt Constitutional Carry (and the 28th to have the law formally take effect, since Louisiana's new statute doesn't kick in until July 4th), the state's few pro-gun control voices are ramping up their fearmongering. Everytown for Gun Safety's South Carolina chapter is already predicting the new law will lead to more violence and less safety, while the state's most politically powerful sheriff says he's turning to the Almighty to protect the state from Constitutional Carry's effects. "Law enforcement agencies in South Carolina are bracing for what could happen as...

    Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) has vetoed a Republican-backed bill that would allow Arizona law enforcement to arrest illegal aliens. This week, Hobbs made her first veto of the year when she refused to sign the “Arizona Border Invasion Act” into law, which authorizes law enforcement officers across the state to arrest illegal aliens who have crossed the United States-Mexico border. Arizona police would be permitted to charge illegal aliens with a misdemeanor when they are first arrested and a felony if they are arrested a second time for crossing into the state. In a letter, Hobbs claimed the bill “does...

Not after voters approved ballot measures Tuesday to loosen restrictions on the police and screen...
