First, and enjoying the Trifectas this week.

I’m glad the Officers in these incidents were relatively unscathed. The porch diver heading for cover seems the only injury. Several others including more than one Officer who were killed in the line of duty this week were not so lucky. One department lost 2 in the same incident.

Testify Old tanker. A lot of those officer deaths don’t make the lame stream media for…reasons. We do see them on a regular basis by going to the local sources in some of the usual suspect areas. There are way yonder more KIA/WIA officers every year than there are bad shoots by officers.

A trifecta of DRT Trifectas don’t come along that often anymore. It’s not that they don’t happen, it’s the reporting to the news feeds that is lacking. Citizens defending themselves just doesn’t fit the narrative. OTH, if we ran a crime news thread of those killing one another…well…you know.

Taurus do make some nice weapons. Too bad they don’t float.

Spot on Voltaire.
