#Memories #ACAB
I received an email from Brother Alan regarding a woman who is writing a book and she wanted to interview me about a comment I had made online at the Journal Star.

A while back I had commented on the situation where the suicidal guy with a knife was shot to death by the deputy.

So I called the number Alan forwarded to me and spoke with this woman for a while. She seemed to lose interest when I said I didn’t really want to be quoted. I’m no expert on cops and sure don’t want to upset any police departments in the area —— they have guns and they know where I live!

I am really surprised at the reaction I have been getting from that one short comment. Basically all I said was not to call the police unless you needed somebody to show up with lethal force. And that once you had called them, you can’t call them off.

I think too many people are expecting Andy from Mayberry to show up and they get Dirty Harry instead. Make my day.

If you are having a problem with a friend, a neighbor or a loved one, think twice before calling the cops —— when they arrive they won’t do what you tell them to and you may end up in jail yourself if you get upset about them whacking somebody with a stick, buzzing them with a taser, or shooting them.

You had better figure that once they show up —— somebody could go to jail and all that goes with that.

This woman asked me what I would do if a loved one was threatening themselves or others with a knife and I told her I would round up several good friends and/or family members —— grab several two by fours of good length and we would all start whacking away until the knife was dropped.

Better a few broken ribs than shot to death. Probably not what they would teach at the local mental health college, but it would work.

Another thought would be to get the local game warden guy to come over with his tranquilizer gun and dart them —— though that might end up being more dangerous than just whacking them with a sturdy board.

My best advice is to keep your crazy friends and relatives away from knives!

It is sad to say —— but if you ever need help the last thing you want to do is call the police ——

Parents call cops, ask for negotiator for suicidal 16-year-old. Cops send a cammo-clad army, kill the kid.

THIS is why you should think long and hard before calling the cops. They carry guns and WILL use them no matter what you think or say.

The idea of the “Ferguson effect” is a convenient one for police authorities to bandy about, because it deflects attention from the real object of the protests and the unrest -- that is, the police themselves, and the constant killings of unarmed Americans. By the magic of that deflection, the protesters somehow become the villains, and police officers become the victims. It’s a sophisticated public relations device.

I saw this clip on the evening news. When they said the “resource officer” had been put on administrative leave I blurted, “Why the hell wasn’t he fired and then charged with assault?”

I am continually baffled by our society which allows this kind of physical violence and pretends there need be any “investigation” of what everyone can clearly see is absolutely unwarranted physical assault. Had he slammed her down on her head she could well be dead.

This is unacceptable. #ACAB

So rare as to almost be a fantasy. The vast majority of police assault and murder are not hindered or prosecuted. Qualified immunity guarantees they can murder without repercussion. Often.

The first time I can remember thinking cops had shown up
inappropriately was back in the mid 70s when a lumber yard
in Pekin burned down. My buddy and I showed up to watch
and it looked like every cop in Pekin was standing around
watching too, with their cars lit up like Christmas trees.

I thought then it would have been a good time to rob everybody
else in town because there were no cops on the job to catch
anybody, they were all standing around the fire looking
important and bothering people.

The third and last time I called the cops it was to surrender a .22 caliber rifle and ammunition. Since we moved to town I had no use for them. I’ve had the gun for over forty years, but now that we live in town I have no place or reason to shoot it. I also had a few hundred rounds of ammunition. My FOID card was due to expire this year and rather than renew it, I decided to get rid of the gun and ammo. I pondered selling it, but finally decided to just get rid of it. I didn’t want to put the bullets out in the trash so after some research decided to let the cops deal with it.

Within minutes after my phone call a heavily tattooed policewoman arrived to pick them up and give me a receipt. Even this mundane interaction turned into a prolonged interrogation of irrelevant questions and suspicion. Where did I get it? Why was I surrendering it? Did I have any other guns? Etc. Etc.

I tried to remain polite but I suspect my body language and tone made it clear that none of her questions were any of her damn business. #ACAB
