Choices Being Made

I have blogged over the past several months about how law enforcement has been responding to protests that are not related to antifa and so-forth. It hasn't been pretty.

As I have often pointed out, traditionally folks that tend to be in the middle (so-called Independents) or to the right (Conservatives) have always supported "The Blue". In our eyes the men and women in blue represent law and order. We like law and order. We also like freedom.

What is going on over in the Netherlands is yet another example where LEOs have decided to support a tyrannical government. Yesterday, they actually shot at a person driving a tractor around a roadblock. Note that I said AROUND. Not over. Not through.

Two Observations (UPDATE)

Click here for an update on this story.

So far, it looks like this MIGHT be a legitimate arrest, although for "suspicion for conspiring to riot" seems like it could be something someone conjured out of thin air. Maybe the thought police have come to Northern Idaho. 

In Couer d'Alene, ID there was a pride event. Interesting place for this kind of event. Supposedly this area is the heart of the white supremacy movement. Randy Weaver lived here for a number of years. Several others who have been linked to white supremacy have also called this area home. Northern Idaho is not exactly a center of pride activity.

The gonzo journalist Andy Ngo posted a tweet showing people from a group call Patriot Front being detained. Never heard of them. Click here for the video, while it lasts. I linked to Doug Ross' blog, rather than the twitter link. You might have to scroll a bit if you come across this at a later date.

FIRST OBSERVATION: 

This has the stink of some alphabet soup federal law enforcement agency. Look at the guys that are being detained. First of all, why are they being detained. Nothing has crossed the airwaves. Nothing suggesting they were hassling folks at the event. In fact, they were "arrested" while still in the U-Haul van seen in the background. Nothing has been released that stated this group was going to cause trouble. 

The Choice (Update)

I think we can safely say that the rank and file of the Ottawa police have made their choice. Every single day, it is becoming more and more obvious the Ottawa police have made their choice. A very sad time indeed.

Something I find quite interesting is that while the Ottawa brown shirts are beating protesters, trampling protesters with horses, stealing money and supplies from the protesters, there has been nary a word spoken if any of the protesters have vigorously fought back. If there had been ANY level of violence from the protesters, it would be top of the fold, lede-in newsworthy. 

Images from various Twitter feeds. Hopefully these are considered fair use. Plus I don't use Twitter so I have no other way to get these images to you, my loyal reader.

Joe Dan Gorman/Intellectual Froglegs. Note the protesters on the ground, under the horse. The woman who was trampled is OK, a shoulder injury. 

Poso Remembers Ottawa @JackPosobiec. It looks like it's gonna be a bad day for the protesters who have done billions in damage, killed over 30 people, including cops, tried to immolate people trapped inside a federal building in Portland, Oregon, burned small businesses to the ground. Oh wait, that wasn't these guys. There wasn't a cop to be found when that was going on.

The Last Refuge @TheLastRefuge2. The first image is what Trudeau sent to deal with who is in the pictured in the second image.

What is most frustrating to me is the people giving the orders could care a rat's behind about the men and women in blue. These cops are facing off against some of their most ardent supporters. I'm guessing once all of this is over worldwide, cops will have the same level of approval that lawyers and journalists now enjoy. Nobody remembers the "brown shirts" fondly in any society, no matter who "wins". To the tyrants, these people are just tools to further their tyrannical agenda. To the oppressed, these people will be lower than whale poop. If freedom wins out in the end, we will remember the choice that law enforcement made.

Update 19 Feb; Ottawa police chief had said his department will search high and low for ANYONE who participated in the Freedom Truckers convoy. Even if they left the protests in the first few days when ordered by law enforcement. These teams will be heavily armed. Don't forget, Emperor Trudeau has given himself nearly unlimited power, which I'm sure he will let law enforcement use at their discretion. I see people dying. Hopefully the Canadian protesters have seen and will take heed of what has happened to the Jan Six protesters and steel themselves for what is to come.

If people are harmed during this roundup of protesters, I will no longer have law enforcement back. I know I'm just one strand of straw in the pile of hay, but that is where I make my voice heard. It is time we all make our stand. Law enforcement needs to know where Joe and Jody Six-pack stand. They are sworn to defend the Constitution above ALL ELSE (both here and in Canada), even those pointed over them. I have tried to remind myself on a daily basis that the men and women of law enforcement will eventually push back against their tyrannical overlords. And every day I get just a little more disappointed. They have to know what they are doing is wrong in every sense of the word. What has happened to the Jan six protesters and what is going to happen to the freedom convoy protesters will be in complete violation of the constitutions of both the US and Canada. 

As I said above, no matter the outcome of this battle between freedom and tyranny nobody will remember the actions of law enforcement kindly. 

We are entering a very dark period in our history. 

Erik Scott

Here is the latest update in the Erik Scott case in Laws Vegas NV. If you are new to my blog I have been providing links to the Confederate Yankee’s Mike McDaniel articles that are following the aftermath of a civilian shooting by LVPD. I highly recommend that you take a gander at all the articles and related links he provides.

Kitsap Sheriff's Deputies Involved with Shooting

Two Kitsap County sheriff’s deputies were shot yesterday in Port Orchard, WA. Port Orchard is just up the road from where I live. (UPDATE: Seems Salt Lake City officials have been looking for the suspected Prot Orchard gunman). The two deaths are the gunman, shot by a third deputy and what looks to be the gunman’s possible girlfriend. My family and I have spent time in the area before, taking my sons to their soccer and baseball games.  If seems that those in law enforcement are under the gun recently, Michelle Malkin has a good run down of the shootings that have occurred in recent days.

Based on all the reports that I have seen so far on the Port Orchard shooting, it looks to be a clearly defined case of a justified law enforcement shooting.  However, here is an interesting series of stories that I have been following over at Confederate Yankee. Seems late last year a fellow named Eric Scott was shot and killed by the Las Vegas PD. The stories point out there are more than just a few questions as to why and how it happened. There are several articles and it will take you a while to read it all, but more than worth your time.
