Brooklyn Center MN — Police officer, Kim Potter was a respected cop for 26 years.  Apparently she was an officer that very rarely used her police equipment, specifically guns and tasers.  She had no history of excessive force whatsoever.  The dead thug, Daunte Wight on the other hand had a substantial criminal history that included flight, failure to appear in court and violence against police.  The judge has precluded that very important evidence from being published to the jury.   Looking at the very poor condition of Potter’s utility belt to me it’s obvious she didn’t consider her weapons nearly as important than her verbal skills to defuse violent confrontations.  Suddenly when this wanted suspect pushed Potter aside and jumped in to his car in an effort to flee and simultaneously endanger her and fellow officers he was shot and killed.  This is really more about, Charles Darwin and not about excessive police force.  Kim potter chose mentally...

The First Thing We Do, Let’s Kill All the Lawyers.   Phoenix, AZ-- William Shakespeare’s famous quote from Henry VI may have been intended as a joke when he scripted, Dick the Butcher’s famous line.  I must confess; however, today I feel a certain ring of understanding as to what that quote was about.    I’ve been told often that I must write a book.  I have had an amazing career as a cop, private investigator and a TV journalist who received, on the job journalism training. I’ve written a couple of screenplays that have gone nowhere.  Perhaps because I’ve written them to myself as an audience. This time it will be different, and there will be a book!   It all began in early December in 1989.  I was just conscripted to help the then CBS-TV affiliate (now FOX) in Phoenix, Arizona as a freelance investigative producer.  I was assigned to my first big story.     Two men and one women were arrested for kill...

Santa Fe, NM —We all heard that actor, Alec Baldwin cocked a loaded Colt Single Action Army . 45 Revolver, aimed it in the direction of two human beings and fired the gun. He killed the cinematographer and wounded the assistant director.    Alec Baldwin’s Second Biggest Mistake   Make no mistake Baldwin, not the gun caused the mayhem. I really don't care about Hollywood gun handling protocol. However, I do know that it is always the obligation of the gun handler to make sure there are no live rounds in the gun unless of course you intend to have it ready to use in a defensive situation.  The safety rules absolutely preclude taking someone's word that the gun that they just handled you is unloaded.     In the very best possible light, we can only conclude that Baldwin negligently discharged his weapon that took the life of a promising and innocent young mother.  That is in fact a crime in every jurisdiction of the United States.   Let me ...

Los Angeles, CA:  Since the political Left was hellbent on freeing over 100,000 felons from California's prisons alone Americans have never been in more danger.  Major crimes in Southern California are nearing double the rate as before.  Instead of single criminals they have been running in packs of between two and 40 thugs with many armed.   This is happening while the same politicians propose more gun bans.  The ban of firearm magazines holding more that 10 rounds may not be a bother with one dangerous criminal but the rising popularity of the rats running in packs makes the prohibition absolutely unreasonable.  Most carjackings involve two thugs at a minimum.  The tactics of the criminals have changed.  So must ours to defeat this deadly threat.   While we wait for the Supreme Court to re-legalize the bearing of firearms we have little choice but to ignore the prohibitions.  We still have the Fourth ...

Chicago -First let me say that my blog has been missing just shy of a year.    I’ve been finally able to recover it along with well over 3,000 posts, but now it’s crimefilenews.tv rather than .com.    It’s been an very interesting 15 years for me and I hope my readers.  I want to devote more of my time posting videos rather than just text.    It’s much more labor intensive but I enjoy shooting, editing and posting visual material.    I also want to deliver less chit chat and more    news.    I still must deal with other issues but hopefully you’ll be seeing compelling content!    let me say that my blog has been missing just shy of a year.     I’ve been finally able to recover it along with well over 3,000 posts, but now it’s crimefilenews.tv rather than .com.     It’s been an very interesting 15 years for me and I hope my readers.   I want to devote more of my time posting videos rather ...

Beverly Hills, CA --Media personality, Katie Hopkins loves the USA and our freedom. She’s an avid shooter and has actually joined the National Rifle Association . Hopkins has led an exciting life. Not yet 50 years old and she’s trained with British Royal Forces and she’s been hired and fired from numerous high profile media positions.  Currently in the U.K. Hopkins’ opinions are considered to be somewhat in the political minority. Hopkins has proven that can raise the blood pressure of any Liberal that is within 100 meters to dangerous levels.  Hopkins detests political correctness in any form and is a rabid free speech advocate. She’s a critic of forced multiculturalism because it results in so much unnecessary violence and difficulties. Particularly she's objected to the importation and financial support of millions Muslims into the UK. The resulting culture clash has devalued the way of life there. In reality we cannot deny horrific Muslim Terrorism any ...

Los Angeles CA-- In the last several months we’ve seen organized Democrats displaying no limits to their violence, lies and incredibly appalling behavior. Donald Trump supporters dare not wear hats or other material supporting Trump without fear of beatings and worse. The Democrats have clearly shown that they are both unAmerican and absolutely dangerous to our children, seniors, peace and well being. Voting for these traitors will only cause their useful idiots to level up their terrorism. They want gun bans and to have police removed from our streets so their thugs can have absolute power over everyone. Democrat Politicians have opened the gates of our prisons letting their new combat troops loose on an unprepared society. Come November, all these monsters must be soundly defeated at the polls.

Chicago, IL —Okay, retirement was the wrong word to use.     It was obviously the reality that CBS was going trough lean times and Pam Zekman took home a King’s Ransom sized paycheck.     They laid her and a small busload of newsroom faces off in this drastic economy move.     After a half-century as Chicago's top investigative journalist, Zekman is wealthy and earned herself a dream retirement package.  Don’t shed a tear for this legendary, Queen of the Ambush Interview, she is now off to new adventures! By the way, Zekman influenced me too, more than she will ever know! The more difficult job falls in the hands if WBBM-TV’s News Director, Jeff Harris .  He must find a leaner, meaner version of Zekman to fill her shoes.   I know just the top gun investigative reporter and a kick ass producer, perfect for the Chicago market.  The ad revenue has to perk up a bit.  CBS2 knows it must move on a...

Los Angeles, CA--The Covid-19 catastrophe may well change forever the way TV news is gathered and broadcast.   The nation’s news operations have been forced to have some reporters work from home.  They’re suddenly gathering news as they conduct their routine interviews via Zoom, Skype and Facetime .  The Multi Media Journalist is a mainstay everywhere except where the photographers unions are politically anchored.  That’s all about to change.  Drones, smaller and cheaper DSLR type cameras are capturing startling video images.  Quality video live streaming has never been so easy.  The technology learning curve for reporters is no longer an obstacle. The increased efficiency and cost savings connected to news gathering are really monumental.  There will always be a need for helicopters, and news crews to chase breaking news.  We need to forever end those ridiculous and expensive reporter’s live shots in front of stale ...

Galco does make the finest Holsters in the world, keeping cops safe.

Richmond, VA —The far left has gained control over Virginia’s political scene. They have a Democratic governor and a Democratic legislative majority.  They are all hell-bent on banning certain firearms and an additional bunch of really draconian dictates. Virginia has both the federal and state constitutions that protect gun rights but that does not make any difference to this bunch of radicals.  Normally it’s up to the judges to decide the constitutionality of laws that are passed.  The courts however move very slow and resolutions take many years.  In the meantime those victimized by bad laws suffer irreversible harm through incarceration and the loss of valuable property and their guaranteed and hard won freedom.  That does not include tens of thousands in legal fees. I don’t think the founding fathers took into consideration that our courts would someday all but grind to a halt when it came to protecting liberty.  The oath of office the rad...

Writer and Director, Nora Fingscheidt and me... Los Angeles, CA- - Being a member of the Screen Actors Guild I am blessed to get to see a lot of films and meet the creative forces behind them. That’s exactly what happened tonight as I saw a German film, System Crasher .   It was a project dreamed up by a lovely young film student by the name of Nora Fingscheidt .   The film began seven years ago as a thought that has culminated in an Oscar competing film in the best foreign film category.  The entire cast was captivating.  The film stars nine-year-old, Helena Zengel as Benni , a young, somewhat abandoned child.  This child is under care of the government and they can hardly cope with her.  She’s a bright girl and is fiercely independent.  Benni's real problem is obvious she has been denied a two parent household and all of the love and attention that every child deserves. She’s considered a System Crasher.  Benni has somew...

Washington, DC- -Bi-Sexual, Democratic Congresswoman Katie Hill announced her resignation today.  This came as her soon to be ex-husband spilled the beans over her sexual activities with at least two subbordinate staffers.  Salacious photos surfaced showing hill naked with a female staffer, smoking a bong on 9/11/01 and another naked shot revealing her pubic area, Nazi Iron Cross tattoo.  I suspect that there's a lot more to come involving Hill's financial chicanery and I promise that this story is far from over. My question now is what happens to the Million dollar plus 2020 campaign war chest? Hill promised to shake up Washington and she's done just that!  She's been missing since this story broke, choosing to hide behind written statements. Who will catch her with a video camera first to hear and broadcast what she has to say?                      

Los Angeles, CA-- Due process and our dubious criminal justice system is really not doing well.   Exonerations are on the rise as exhaustive post conviction investigations expose police, crime lab or prosecutorial misconduct.  It takes decades to expose wrongful convictions as these victims rot in our prisons.  This is not about reducing the penalties that criminals deserve.  This is about pure and simple justice and fairness.   Prosecutors have been given excessive powers in recent years that they nearly always abuse.  Juries almost never hear about the checkered backgrounds of witnesses and so-called victims.  The backgrounds of the accused however are nearly always disclosed.   We routinely convict people in circumstantial cases where the jury guesses guilt or innocence.   If a jury has to guess, that should dictate an acquittal but that’s just not how it works.   I have worked with the best and worst la...
