UCLA Shooting and an Incredibly Shameful Police Response.

Westwood, Los Angeles, CA—A deadly dispute between two engineering Ph.D  eggheads at the UCLA  campus yesterday was turned into an unnecessary and obscene military commando exercise by authorities.  

UCLA Police officers immediately responded to a shooting scene and found two dead males.  They appeared to have suffered fatal gunshot wounds from a low powered handgun and a recently fired 9MM pistol lay nearby.  Additionally there was a suicide note that made this somewhat clear to be an isolated Murder/Suicide event.  What followed was nothing less than what we’d expect from an out-of-control fascist government. 
The authorities turned this into a massive training exercise that disrupted and disturbed the entire region. SWAT teams were summoned from every department surrounding the area.  FBI, Homeland Security and the BATFE joined in the raiding party. 

A chance to test their inter-agency radio communications crossing every jurisdictional line under a single command structure was fully exploited. 

UCLA’s Bruin Alert system told the students to shelter in place setting off panic.  The students attempted bizarre efforts to lock classroom doors that had no locks.  

I saw perhaps 40 police vehicles speeding with emergency lights and sirens headed for UCLA from the San Fernando Valley along the crowed 405 Freeway. It’s easy to assume that the every major street leading to Westwood saw similar activity. 

Students were removed from buildings at gunpoint, forced to raise their hands, submit to unnecessary humiliation as the were frisked like criminals in front of news cameras.  Then the hapless students were then forced to kneel on the ground.  This while the police were assigned to search for “Active Shooters” throughout the campus.  Needless to say none were found.  

Hours later police officials declared the exercise over saying it was indeed an isolated Murder/Suicide. Then the media wasted no time heaping on the praise of how wonderfully the police responded protecting the students and faculty at the University. 

Adding insult to injury politicians began demanding more gun control. California’s gun laws are the most restrictive anywhere and UCLA is a GUN FREE ZONE! They somehow want to believe that gun laws are obeyed by criminals. Gun laws only impact the law-abiding obstructing their ability to defend themselves.  Liberals always embrace full government dependence, rejecting any form of self-reliance. 

Was the UCLA police “Active Shooter” raid just a rehearsal for bigger things yet to come?  Will we see bucket helmet, jackboot wearing armed thugs marching through our businesses and homes?  The sad answer provided by world history is yes unless we demilitarize the cops while we still can. We need to see police returned to their communities as local protectors not an invading army.  Freedom is not free we must fight for it.

Is it possible the UCLA Police response was a message to the fragile students and staff, the parents and the media that the UCLA Police can handle anything that comes along, in other words a preemptive press release. When events like this occur the media always speculates and stirs the pot. And you know, academic environments are especially fragile. Save the babies!
Students and faculty lives matter. https://render.bitstrips.com/v2/cpanel/8398487-126845178_2-s1-v1.png?palette=1

Thank you for this cogent statement which echoes my sentiments. It needs to be put out there and you do it well.

Paul, yeah. The whole trend of police militarization and the fear-driven authoritarian response to 9-11 spells serious trouble for civil liberties in the USA. Kind of makes me wonder if the authorities forgot the people who attacked us were foreigners ... not US citizens. Regards --

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
