“Clocked this son b–ch at 96 in a 35,” officer pulls over Deputy Chief in an unmarked car
It was a battle of rank versus the law in Henry County, Georgia at the end of June.
According to the NY Post, a Henry Couty Sheriff’s Deputy was patrolling when he found a speeding car going 60 miles an hour over the speed limit. He immediately flipped on his lights and pulled the speeding car over.
As he walked up, he noticed two co-workers in the unmarked Dodge Charger. One of them was the Deputy Chief of the Sheriff’s Office Michael Yarbrough.
He returned to his vehicle after the discussion and made a phone call to another deputy saying, “Guess who I just pulled over. The chief deputy, driving a f—king Dodge Charger. A souped-up Dodge Charger belonging to the sheriff’s office. I just clocked this son b–ch at 96 in a 35.”
While debating on whether to write a ticket or not, he ultimately said he didn’t like the Deputy Chief much anyway and wrote the ticket.
The county has suspended the Chief for a week without pay over the incident. The Sheriff’s Office said Yarbrough had been on duty and was just driving with his lights and siren, which would have avoided the citation.

Suspect dies after shooting himself in Pleasant Prairie police cruiser
A suspect died Thursday after shooting himself while in the back of a Pleasant Prairie Police Dept. cruiser, according to the police department.
The officers who arrested the man, who was accused of a weapons-related offense, did not find the gun hidden on the suspect’s body during a search before putting him in the cruiser, the PPPD statement admitted.
They headed to the Kenosha Co. jail around 3:45 p.m. when the officers heard a gunshot from the back of their vehicle. They took life-saving measures, but were not able to revive him, and the man, whose name was not released, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect’s death is being investigated by the Racine Co. Sheriff’s Office, as state law requires such incidents to be handled by an outside agency.
The police department concluded by adding its thoughts are with the law enforcement officers involved in the shooting and the family of the suspect. They also asked the public for its patience and understanding during the investigation.

Thieves dragging ATM from bank didn’t realize they left a big clue, Florida cops say
An ATM heist in Florida came unraveled when the masterminds apparently forgot the hefty machine would leave drag marks in the pavement, officials say.
The result was a trail of bread crumbs the led police to a bucket truck conspicuously dragging an ATM on a North Florida highway, the Lake City Police Department said in a news release.
It happened at 4:52 a.m. on Friday, July 21, at the Ameris Bank on West U.S. Highway 90. Lake City is about 60 miles west of Jacksonville.
“Upon arrival, officers discovered the ATM to be missing from its foundation near the drive-through. Drag marks could be seen on the asphalt leading through the Lake City Mall parking lot heading in a northeasterly direction,” police said.
“On-scene officers relayed the information to other responding officers. An officer observed a white utility truck traveling north, dragging an ATM on NW Bascom Norris Drive.”
ATMs can weigh as much as 1,800 pounds, so the suspects decided not to attempt a high-speed escape. Instead, they jumped out and ran as patrol cars closed in, officials said.
A photo shared by police shows the truck was left on the shoulder of the road, doors open and a heavily damaged ATM at its rear. Northwest Bascomb Norris Drive is about a half-mile from the bank.
“Both occupants fled on foot into a wooded area,” police said. “The Florida Highway Patrol’s Drone Unit and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office’s Air Unit provided additional support in an attempt to locate the individuals in the heavily wooded area. The suspects have not been located.”
Investigators say the vehicle was stolen from Madison County, about 60 miles northwest of Lake City.

Man Drowns Fleeing Cops Who Weren’t Even Looking For Him
A Greenville, South Carolina, man drowned Sunday after running from police who were serving a warrant for someone else, according to a statement from the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO).
Deputies from the GSCO arrived Sunday afternoon at a home near Lake Cunningham to execute a warrant for an individual who failed to make a court appearance, according to the statement. A different man, later identified as Chuck Gilbert Shelton Jr., then fled for unknown reasons and was seen swimming briefly in the lake before disappearing underwater, per the GCSO.
Shelton was last scene above water about 15 to 20 feet from the dock, according to local NBC affiliate WYFF. Deputies jumped into the water to try and rescue Shelton before deploying the GSCO dive team, who found his body, according to the statement. The following day, the corner determined that the cause of death was freshwater drowning.
Shelton’s death has been ruled an accident.

Climate of Fear: U.N. Chief Guterres Warns ‘Era of Global Boiling’ Is Here
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres on Thursday night rolled out some of his most apocalyptic climate rhetoric to date declaring “the era of global warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived.”
He went on to lament how “terrifying” it is seeing children “swept away by monsoon rains, families running from the flames, workers collapsing in scorching heat.”
The veteran Portuguese socialist painted his picture of a world in peril during a streamed speech from U.N. headquarters in New York, returning once more to a theme of climate doom he has used almost without respite since he took office.
He said “short of a mini ice age” over coming days, some scientists estimate July 2023 would shatter records across the board.
“Climate change is here. It is terrifying, and it is just the beginning,” Guterres outlined. “The era of global warming has ended. The era of global boiling has arrived.
“The consequences are clear and they are tragic — children swept away by monsoon rains, families running from the flames, workers collapsing in scorching heat.
“For vast parts of North America, Asia, Africa and Europe, it is a cruel summer.”
Guterres spoke as a separate analysis for the month, published Friday by Leipzig University climate scientist Karsten Haustein, estimated July could possibly finish 0.2 degrees Celsius warmer than the 2019 record.
Dr Haustein predicted not only would that make it the warmest month on record, but potentially in “thousands if not tens of thousands of years.”
“We may have to go back all the way to the Eemian warm period (about 120,000 years ago) to find similarly warm conditions,” he said, ABC News reports.
“But since paleo-temperature records do not provide high enough temporal resolution, we cannot say with certainty that this July hasn’t been hotter during the peak of the current interglacial [period].”
This is not the first time Guterres has warned the world of impending climate doom.
Just last November he told participants in the COP27 climate summit of impending “climate chaos” due to humanity’s “fossil fuel addiction,” as Breitbart News reported.
“We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator,” the career diplomat diplomat insisted during his Cop27 opening speech in the resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
“How will we answer when baby 8 billion is old enough to ask: What did you do for our world and for our planet when you had the chance?” he asked.
Previous to that in 2019 the secretary-general said climate-related devastation is striking the planet on a weekly basis and global action must be undertaken immediately with U.N. agencies in the lead, a message echoed by climate protesters.
“We are here because the world is facing a grave climate emergency,” Guterres told a two-day Abu Dhabi climate meeting ahead of a Climate Action Summit in New York.
“Climate disruption is happening now… It is progressing even faster than the world’s top scientists have predicted,” the U.N. secretary general said. “It is outpacing our efforts to address it. Climate change is running faster than we are.”
Paul Joseph Watson does a nice send up of this gas bag’s fear mongering.

“Squad’ Member Faces More Mockery After Hours-Long ‘Thirst Strike’”
https://www.foxnews.com/media/squad-member-faces-mockery-hours-long-thirst-strike
“Progressive Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, a new member of the “The Squad,” faced waves of mockery on Twitter about his “thirst strike” protest lasting less than 10 hours.”
“Yesterday was incredible. I was honored to be joined at my thirst strike by workers in Texas and across the nation—and by lots of colleagues pushing for federal heat safety protections,” the congressman tweeted Wednesday. “9 hours without water or food, but I’m more energized than ever to get this done.”
“Many commentators across Twitter saw the demonstration as far less of an achievement, with some claiming the premise of his protest was not even accurate in the first place.”
“Democrat Greg Casar went 8 hours without eating or drinking something. To normal Americans, that’s just skipping breakfast or lunch at work,” Canary CEO Dan K. Eberhart tweeted. “To him, it’s a hunger strike that he set up media cameras for once it was over. What a pathetic stunt.”
“What an absolute joke,” the official account representing MRCTV wrote. “Not eating or drinking for 8 hours is just called forgetting to have lunch while at work.”
“Many commentators joked that already go through similar durations without drinking as part of their daily routine, such as when they sleep.”
“I go on a thirst strike literally every night at bedtime,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales tweeted. “Please clap.”
This is a real picture that he posted of himself being attended to by three people as he attempted to go nine hours without eating, or roughly the time from an early
lunch to a late dinner,” conservative commentator Matt Walsh wrote.”
At 34 years old you’d figure him and his punchable face would know better…
The worst amongst us are selected to attempt to lead us.
Holy shit! This is the district ‘he’ ‘represents’, Texas 35th:
Holy Gerrymandering, Batman!
Thirty years ago whilst living in El Paso my Congressman was based out of San Antonio, over 500 miles away. This was when Democrats ruled the state.

Just another Attention Seeker.
“Look At Me!”.
This is “Why” he did what he did…
“Lawmaker Leads Thirst Strike After Tex. Strips Protections On Water Breaks”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/07/26/greg-casar-thirst-strike-osha-federal-heat-standard/
“The heatstroke Fernando Arista suffered still weighs heavily on his mind. It took the electrician three days to recover from an episode in the scorching Texas heat that left his muscles limp, his head throbbing and his mind disoriented — all because he was denied a water break on the job, he said.”
“That was last year. But now, as a brutal heat wave sends Texas temperatures soaring into the triple digits, Arista said he fears other workers will suffer the same fate — especially after Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed a law last month that will remove construction workers’ mandated 10-minute breaks to drink water and rest in the shade.”
“More people will suffer, and some will die — and it’s because Republicans decided to take away a basic right and because workers are not protected from these extreme conditions we face all over the country,” Arista said from the Capitol’s steps, where dozens of workers and labor organizers gathered on a steamy Tuesday afternoon to call on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to swiftly implement a nationwide workplace heat standard.”
“It was not Casar’s first thirst strike. Before he was elected to Congress in 2022, he was with the Workers Defense Project (Proyecto Defensa Laboral), a Texas-based nonprofit that advocates for the state’s low-wage immigrants. There, he helped organize a thirst strike in 2010 that resulted in Austin implementing a water break ordinance. In 2015, a similar thirst strike led to Dallas doing the same.”
Poor Dude.
He had such a rough life growing up.
*SARC*
“Gregorio Casar was born in Houston to Mexican immigrants. He attended Strake Jesuit College Preparatory, where he ran track. Casar then earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and social thought from the University of Virginia in 2011. He began his activism in college, organizing with Students and Workers United for a Living Wage, which called for the university to pay its workers a higher living wage.”
“Casar is Roman Catholic.”
…in name only.
“Casar is Roman Catholic.”
Must have been converted by Pontius Pilate
A degree in poly sci and “social thought”? Holy virtue signalling, Batman..
Probably pro-abortion so, not a Catholic. And Jesuits need to be burned at the stake for heresy. It seems all of this liberation theology bullshit only comes from one order in the Church, the Jesuits. Used to be, the Catholics kept the Jesuits out of the Papacy, well no longer. The current “Jack in Office” sitting in the throne of St. Peter is a damn Jesuit.
UPDATE about Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell:
The Hoover, Alabama Police Department released her Mugshot yesterday…she is smiling.
“Carlee Russell Of Alabama Charged With Two Misdemeanors For Kidnapping Hoax, Public Frustrated”
https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/carlee-russell-charges-alabama-update-police-kidnapping-hoax
“During the press conference, the Hoover Police Department announced that Russell has been charged with filing a false police report and filing a false statement, both of which are misdemeanors.”
“Russell reportedly turned herself in before the press conference and was released on a $2,000 bond – $1,000 for each charge.”
“The maximum punishment for the charges is one year in jail for each.”
“Police admitted during the press conference that they know people all over the country are “shocked” and “appalled” that Russell is only being charged with two misdemeanors. Police Chief Nick Derzis said that he shares the same frustration but existing laws only allow the charges that were filed to be filed.”
“Derzis also revealed that the police department has not uncovered anything about Russell’s whereabouts during the 49 hours she was missing, and they have not been able to confirm that she acted alone. The police chief pointed out that the story about Russell opened wounds for families whose loved ones really were victims of kidnapping, some of which even helped organize searches for Russell.”
After news of her disappearance spread, a private donor came forward to offer a $25,000 reward, in addition to the $5,000 being offered by Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama. That reward eventually increased to $55.,000 and then to over $63,000 with the support of around 60 other donors.”
“The more than $60,000 donated to Crime Stoppers to help with the search and safe return of Russell will NOT be refunded.”
ninja,
A long time since I’ve heard the childhood phrase
“wipe that smile”.
I can still hear the Junior High Vice Principal
dishing that out on others.
😉😆👍👍
I once passed a deputy in his 5.0 Mustang at a great rate of speed, on two wheels. In my defense I was passing farm vehicles on a twisty road and I didn’t see him until I was committed.
Oops.
And were you thus further committed…?
A story best told over beverages and cigars, but I rode away from that one with a verbal warning.
Sometimes a posterior masticating is a better lesson than a wallet spanking.
Once or twice I’ve rolled away with tickets and felt a bit bitter about it, never so with a reality check from a concerned LEO speaking from the soul.

“Chuck Gilbert Shelton Jr. is a significant loss to the community since he was well-known for his kind heart, contagious laughter, and sympathetic demeanor.”
That rates right up there with George Floyd being a “gentle giant.”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12349731/Hilarious-moment-suspected-bank-robber-falls-ceiling-recycling-bin-cops-arrest-him.html
“This is the hilarious moment a suspected bank robber falls through a ceiling and into a recycling bin in front of two police officers.”
“Tristan J. Heidl, 27, was arrested on Wednesday morning after officers responded to an alarm at the VacationLand Federal Credit Union in Huron, Ohio.”
“After arriving at the scene, police heard noises coming from the roof over the bank’s drive thru and observed a trash can positioned directly below an access hatch.”
“In a bizarre twist, Heidl then drops from the roof and straight into the bin from the hatch.”
“Body cam footage of the blunder has since been shared by Huron Police Department which shows the two officers making the arrest.”
“Huron police Chief Terry Graham said: ‘While checking the building, officers could hear noises coming from inside the roof area over the drive-thru.”
“‘They also observed a blue recycling trash can positioned in the middle of a drive-thru lane, which was directly under a roof access door.'”
“Heidl was charged with breaking and entering, a fifth-degree felony, possession of criminal tools, a fifth-degree felony, and safecracking, a fourth-degree felony.”
“He has been incarcerated in the Erie County Jail on a $50,000 bond.”

“Michigan Teacher Arrested For Smuggling Fentanyl, Money, Cell For Phone Sex Into Jail”
https://nypost.com/2023/07/29/michigan-teacher-meredith-leyrer-arrested-for-smuggling-fentanyl-into-jail/
“A Michigan teacher is accused of smuggling drugs, a cell phone for phone sex and money to inmates under the guise of working as a jail educator…”
“Meredith Leyrer, 54, was arrested on Monday and faces charges of manufacturing and delivering narcotics, bringing contraband into a correctional facility and bringing a phone into a correctional facility, all felonies.”
“Leyrer began abusing her role as an educator for the Inmate Growth Naturally and Intentionally Through Education (IGNITE) program last December.”
“Swanson called IGNITE an “education model, a culture change” but to “see somebody from the inside try to take that down we have to realize that nothing is sacred.”
“He added that the type of drug smuggling conspiracy Leyrer was allegedly involved with at the jail is difficult to undertake and those that do “use their positions of influence and trust, and they abuse it.”
“Leyrer, who was a teacher at Mount Morris High School, a partner with IGNITE, allegedly deposited more than $630 into three inmates accounts starting in December before she began smuggling in fentanyl pills and cans of marijuana wax.”
“Surveillance video from the jail allegedly showed Leyrer pass more than 100 fentanyl pills to an inmate inside a folder while they sat at a table during a lesson one day.”
“He said Leyrer also smuggled in cellphone into the jail “so she could have phone sex” with inmates, adding that she made more than 350 calls to inmates in December.”
“Swanson said Leyrer burst into tears when he told her how “disappointed” he was in her after her arrest, saying that she told him she had “low self-esteem” and had been “groomed” by the inmates.”
“She remains in custody on a $20,000 bond.”
Of course it’s ‘not her fault’, she’s a victim of [insert every reason under the sun].
And $20,000 bond?!
What happened to you, Michigan? You were a serious place back in the day.

Basically,k we got stuck with Gretch the Wretch, Dana the Dyke Nessel and a few dems in the state house and senate.
They are in the process of criminalizing free speech now, and lowering the maximum penalty for 1st degree murder to 20 years and then out the door on parole.
Read about that. Things that make you go ‘wtf?!’.
I’m hoping your state unasses itself, and quick. At least there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of 2A infringements, yet…
Once a state passes magazine capacity laws or ‘assault weapon’ restrictions it’s all over…, baby blue.
I’m hoping so, too. There has been talk, now not being mentioned at all, about the “urgent need” for a Red Flag law, with all that brings to mind. And, the last I heard, they want to make it so that anyone in the state can file against any gun owner in the state. Imagine a bunch of gun haters obtaining a list of all the CCW holders in Michigan? The courts wouldn’t be able to put criminals away, they’d be too busy depriving people of their rights.
I see a promotion in her future. Perhaps a run for Congress.
Department of (mis)Education could always use another office fluffer…
She’ll fit in great with Admiral Dick Levine, Pothole Pete Butt-a-chug, et al.
With that mug, I can see why she was into phone sex.
Only one grinning over these stories is Darwin. The rest of us are shaking our heads. To quote that Great Philosopher Charlie Brown…”Good Grief!”
PPPP, i.e. Piss Poor Patdown Procedures.
He may have keister-stashed the weapon.
Can’t help but wonder if the perp shot himself attempting to pull out the firearm to shoot the officer and escape?

Well, it’s winter in the southern hemisphere so…🤣
That’s the thing that always comes to my mind – “2022 was the hottest summer on record!!!!” You climate-clowns do realize half the world was in Winter during that period of time, right?!?
