Thankfully the rookie cop is on the mend. Never missing an opportunity involving cameras, Hizzoner Eric Adams chimed in with,
“And as we do a preliminary review of the body cam video, we see how well these officers executed the plan that was put in place by the New York City Police Department in ensuring we protect those who came here to bring in a new year,” he told reporters.
Errr, what? The plan it seems is taking machete whacks from recently converted radical Muzzies under FBI surveillance. Our own Gun Bunny sent this one in before certain troubling facts were actually reported.
No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot.

That’s a sweet pistol.
Not that I’d buy it – all my firearms are destined to be used often as possible.
But I can admire the artwork that it is, and the history it conveys.
Sooo, that’s the Big Stick that Bull Moose was talking about? I think that the last “gun” that was shot in the WH, the only victim was a blue dress.
The Religion of Pieces and the Fumbling Bumbling Idiots strike again. We’ll see more of this.

If only somebody had reported that Trevor Bickford was a Republican, the Famous But Incompetent could have sent an agent or two that wasn’t a week from retirement to watch him.
Easy to tell it was donated to Teddy…if he bought it, woulda been a .45
Or, .44-40 like his first Colt SAA when he went to Montana to reinvent himself.
