Legacy media outlets have drawn criticism over their framing of an incident in Chicago where a 26-year-old man was killed by police after he fired at officers who had pulled him over for a traffic stop last month, according to an initial investigation and body camera footage. Dexter Reed was killed after police pulled him over for a traffic stop in Chicago on March 21 after officers said he was not wearing a seatbelt. When officers attempted to speak with him, Reed locked himself in his vehicle and gunfire broke out leading officers to run away from the vehicle. According...

A Mississippi police officer accused of shooting an unarmed 11-year-old child who called law enforcement for assistance in a domestic disturbance incident has been suspended without pay, according to reports. The action taken against Sgt. Greg Capers of the Indianola Police Department as an investigation is ongoing into the shooting that unfolded last weekend at the home of Aderrien Murry, Murry family attorney Carlos Moore told The Associated Press. The mother said police responded to the residence in the rural city around 4 a.m. Saturday after the father of one of her other children showed up, knocked on a window...

The family of Chase Allan — a 25-year-old man who was shot and killed by Farmington police officers Wednesday — expressed frustration as they say police will not give them information.

Anyone have a link to an older Video, I saw it on YouTube, of a white man standing in daylight, in a construction area, or area without people around, getting Shot to death by Police? Hot, daylight, uninhabited area. I seem to remember a white Truck. The guy was standing up when shot repeatedly to death.

Yesterday I wrote about the Brooklyn public school teacher, Christopher Flanigan, who described the massive gathering of police officers at slain Detective Jason Rivera’s funeral as “ideal conditions for reciprocity,” after citing a 2020 instance where a police vehicle drove through a crowd of protesters and rioters in the city. I am forced to confess that I got one thing wrong when covering that story. After noting an actress who was fired after also complaining about the funeral, I said that her treatment was “more than you’ll see happening to Mr. Flanigan” because of the far-left climate in most of...

Source: Screenshot“To Serve and Protect” is more than a mere police slogan – it is a police duty. And in the case of the shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant, Officer Nicholas Reardon was clearly carrying out his duty to protect the life of another.Most of us know we have a right to self-defense. That means that if someone is trying to harm us, we can legally respond by using whatever force is necessary to meet and repel that force. But when it comes to using force against someone else – including deadly force – there is another closely-related legal right...

On MSNBC, Congressional Black Caucus Chair Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) argued that police officers “could shoot in the air” and that “Teachers go and break up fights with knives every day.” Beatty said, “We have to have a better way of de-escalating. Here is an occurrence where the police knew they were coming with two girls fighting — or a girl and two adults fighting. You can’t say that you are trained to only shoot to the center of the body. Four shots, I mean, come on, the first shot would knock the knife, a kitchen knife to the ground....

Victimhood is a currency on the left. In fact, it’s THE currency on the left, better than Bitcoin. The more you can claim for yourself the higher esteem you are held in among the intelligencia and elitists who seek to control the people of this country. That’s why there is this scramble, this desperate fight, even by wealthy leftists to claim they’re somehow a put-upon victim.The latest piece of performance art in the quest for the ultimate status on the left comes from Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post.Capehart has an estimated net worth between $1 and $5 million, which...

Mainstream media is utter garbage. That's it. That's the message. The entire purpose of a free press is to allow the truth to come out. In modern day America, mainstream media works against this notion and proactively works to subvert the truth with their reporting. In the case of CBS News coverage of the police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, the dishonesty on their part is striking. They intentionally edited out the part of the video that shows a gun in Toledo’s hand just prior to being shot. We know it was intentional because the rest of the video edit...

Minnesota law may save the police officer who fatally shot 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop from being charged with a crime, Civil Rights attorney David Henderson said Monday. “I think the officer should have been fired immediately because there are points of no return with regard to making mistakes on your job, but with that being said, I don’t think you can charge this officer with a crime under Minnesota law,” said Henderson.

Riots broke out in West Philadelphia after a deranged Black man, armed with a knife, was killed by police. Many of the rioters were not local - but Antifa and Black Lives Matter “protesters.” This incident gives rise to three questions that are being ignored.First, why is the media taking the role of contemners of the police? Media accounts of the incident are risible. Two Philadelphia Inquirer journalists Anna Orso and Samantha Melamed, tweeted that Philadelphia police shot a Black man "to death in broad daylight" firing multiple times - omitting the man was deranged and armed with a knife....

The man later identified as 29-year-old Jacob Blake survived, and remains hospitalized.As the video went viral, violence erupted in this mid-sized Wisconsin community. Rather than call for calm, Wisconsin’s first-term governor, Democrat Tony Evers, fueled the outrage by framing the shooting as yet another “Black man or person” “shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law...
