A town in Arkansas's mayor is planning on having cops in SWAT uniforms walking the street and stopping people walking and asking for ID.

Well, the cops were sad that they didn't get their way recently. After attempting to extort money from some of the bartenders at Shenanigan's, and failing (see http://www.freetalklive.com/content/judge_barnak_under_fire_mpd_throwing...), the cops cried and another state agency imposed "restrictions" on the bar. Well, way to punish a business for being good at what they do. My take: the reason that there are problems at the bar is because it's the only decent place to go in this town.

Firearms seized by the Tippecanoe County Sheriff's Office during the past decade could help pay for new protective vests for deputies.Sheriff Tracy Brown said his agency expects to dispose of 141 confiscated firearms sometime later this year through a Lafayette-based company called Certified Firearms Solutions.After the firearms, which have been confiscated as a result of arrests or other law enforcement activities, are sold to the company, they will be dismantled. Any still-working parts can be sold to firearms manufacturers for cash, Brown said.

Authorities in Tempe, Arizona, dismantled a drug trafficking cell associated with Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, arresting 20 people and seizing three tons of marijuana, 30 pounds of methamphetamine and $2.4 million in cash, police said. A six-month investigation by Tempe police and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency also concluded with the seizure of an airplane, 10 vehicles and 14 firearms, police said Friday.

An entire 20-man police force resigned in a northern Mexican town after a series of attacks that killed the police chief and five officers over the last three months, state officials said Thursday.

The officers' resignation Thursday left the 13,000 people of Ascension without local police services

A state Supreme Court ruling last year that “there is no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers,” when a man was charged with assaulting an officer during a domestic-violence call. The NRA pushed for a new law that allows residents to use deadly force in response to the “unlawful intrusion” by a “public servant” to protect themselves and others, or their property. Police lobbied against it. The measure requires those using force to “reasonably believe” a law-enforcement officer is acting illegally and that it’s needed to prevent “serious bodily injury.”

Over the last two years the problems have continually got worse. Chief Jeff Gilbert is fixated on the politics in this town. He Is personally involved In them and all his time and attention is directed towards political gain to benefit of himself. He is obviously biases towards certain council members and is against and outspoken to other candidate and council members. He runs license plates just to find out names of people whose vehicles are parked at businesses/residences of people he don’t like.

This is a currently running thread on thethinblueline.com detailing how "professional courtesy" is extended to other cops, their families, firefighters, and other general groups of people. Very enlightening to see how entitled cops think they are. But it's for "your safety"...
