We're here to protect you.

[Vern Humphrey]

When law enforcement is crooked -- and there will always be crooks in law enforcement -- citizens need to be able to protect themselves.

You're advocating that people take up arms against the state. That kind of anti-social attitude only strengthens the anti-gunners' case. Name one time where the answer to systemic police corruption was return fire.

Exactly right.

Good. I like Ducks.
I hope it's not about hunting Penguins either, because I like Penguins.

You'd eat a Penguin ?

Haven't you -- they taste like a cross between a Bald Eagle and a Spotted Owl.

Didn't the Supreme Court also rule an individual does not have the right to any police protection according to the Constitution? Of course if one is a National Socialist that is different isn't it?

They did rule that way. And yet when judges issued Concealed Carry permits under the old discretionary system in Virginia, anti-gun judges routinely told petitioners "The police will protect you."

I read it as a person has the right to protect themselves,,,

he did not mention shooting cops,


btw, did you read the article,, it mentioned gang members intimidating,, not the police

(CNN)The Department of Justice says one of its own "repeatedly" helped the Bloods street gang protect its interests by identifying and exposing informants and cooperating witnesses.

Tawanna Hilliard works in an administrative role for the US Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey, court documents say. According to the US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, over a period of more than two years, Hilliard used her access to information to help her son Tyquan Hilliard, 28, and his gang, the 5-9 Brims set of the Bloods.
Authorities have charged the Hilliards with six felony counts: witness tampering and harassment, obstruction of justice and conspiracy to tamper with a witness. Each carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence.
Tawanna Hilliard is also charged with illegally obtaining information from a protected government computer.
The Hilliards' lawyer has not responded to a request for comment.
Court records show that Tawanna Hilliard pleaded not guilty to the charges and is out on $75,000 bail. Tyquan Hilliard has not yet be arraigned on the charges; he's currently in a New York state prison serving the remainder of an 11-year sentence for robbery and assault.
The indictment says that the crimes began in 2016, when "a high-ranking member" of the gang told Hilliard to use her access at work to determine whether people were cooperating with law enforcement.
Officials found out about it only because Tawanna Hilliard called Tyquan Hilliard while he was serving a six-year sentence in a New York state prison for possession of a loaded firearm, according to court documents. Prison phone calls are recorded and monitored.
Tawanna Hilliard is also accused of looking up information on the gang member who allegedly told her to report back on informants. In another prison call, the mother and son discussed other gang members who would "use violence" against that "high-ranking member," the documents say. Tyquan was irritated that the member involved his mother.
The district attorney also says that after Tyquan's release from prison, when he was arrested in connection with a store robbery, his mother tried to intimidate accomplices who had confessed.

Lyman you don't know for a fact that he isn't endorsing self-protection against cops he judges to be crooked. That strikes me as the most logical explanation, because no one argues that there are enough cops to be everywhere, honest or not. At best his statement is a non-sequitur. Regarding your story. Glad they caught the lady. Hopefully word of her prosecution gets out and deters any others.
