COMING TO YOUR TOWN

This Fourth Turning seems to be intensifying. This isn’t a scene from Turkey, Egypt or the Ukraine. It’s the good old USA, land of the free, home of the brave. It’s coming. The police are not your friends. They will shoot you down like dogs when ordered to do so. Make your preparations now.

 

Albuquerque security forces use tear gas on raging protesters after fatal police shooting

Albuquerque police have violently cracked down on protesters, using tear gas and arresting several demonstrators, after over nine hours of unrest. Hundreds expressed their anger over last week’s police shooting that saw a homeless man killed.

At the beginning of the rally, protesters asked police to take responsibility for their actions.

“The police serve us, they do not kill us,” one protester told the local KRQE media outlet, while one of the demonstrators held a sign that read, “APD: Dressed To Kill.”

Another activist, Alexander Siderits, 23, told AP he was participating because he was “fed up” with how police treat citizens.

“It has reached a boiling point, and people just can’t take it anymore,” he stressed.

However, another activist stressed that the rally wasn’t about hating police, rather about standing up for injustice, as he spoke through a microphone to others in the crowd.

Protesters initially gathered around noon on Sunday and marched towards the local police headquarters shouting, “We want justice.”

Several people were dressed up for the rally, with their faces painted and posters in their hands. They were shouting, “Hey hey, ho ho, killer cops have got to go.”

Albuquerque mayor Richard Berry said the protest had descended into “mayhem” and one police officer had been injured in clashes with the protesters.

“We respected their rights to protest obviously,” Berry said to the Albuquerque Journal, “but what it appears we have at this time is individuals who weren’t connected necessarily with the original protest … they’ve taken it far beyond a normal protest.”

The protesters are angry at the Albuquerque police’s involvement in 37 shootings, 23 of them fatal, over the past four years. Many believe it is far too many for a city with around 550,000 inhabitants. The most recent case of a police shooting happened on March 16 when a homeless man was shot dead on the east side of Albuquerque. The incident was caught on video and the FBI has now opened an investigation into the man’s death.

Good. Finally. We need to see many, many more of these blowbacks throughout the U.S.

“It has reached a boiling point, and people just can’t take it anymore.”

Exactly right. If we stop taking it, we have a chance to stop the police from killing us.

Those copfuks in full military gear look like an invading army. However, they are all bunched together and standing in the open. A handful of good Snipers strategically placed could have taken out the whole lot of them. Oh, well. Maybe next time.

Isolation and separation are the most prudent roads to travel through this fourth turning. Putting yourself in an Urban setting confronting armed military styled cops with rocks is fucking stupid.

We took a family weekend in Albuquerque not long after the initial incident which caused the uproar.

Apparently, the cops shot a man, dead, because, he was, you know, camping illegally. Lesson learned? Don’t go camping in Albuquerque.

How can cops get away with murdering 23 people? Letting the government and cops “protect” you is obviously a joke, they are more likely to murder you. Like the criminal politicians, the laws don’t apply to them. People are getting tired of this bullshit. Revolution is the only solution.

The news also reported that Anonymous made a threat to shut down the city and police websites. Good reason for the feds to come in and protect us from cyber attacks.

Question for all – what percentage of our entire population do you believe would actually fight for themselves if our economy deteriorated enough to cause widespread protests, violence, and forceful police responses?

My Dad was a veteran, always said, “1 day the government will go broke & start treating us all like they’ve been treating blacks, hispanics, …White people won’t expect it because they generally think the government’s in their corner, protecting them from ‘those people’. They don’t realize the police & the government are protecting the elites from everyone else. They are also ‘those people’ “.

— 3 million are Native American, and they will finally take revenge, leaving, 199,000,000

— 9 million are listed as “2 or more races”, these people are fucked up and will try to kill us before we kill them, leaving 190,000,000

— 20 million are listed as “other race”, WTF?, Klingons?, Joos?, whatever they are they ain’t human and will try to kill us, leaving 170,000,000

Subject: A Lesson to Remember

Wing One Colleagues,

Over the past few months, we have been forced to navigate through some of the roughest waters most of us have ever experienced professionally. We’ve seen the reputation of our beloved wing, and America’s ICBM mission tarnished because of the extraordinarily selfish actions of officers entrusted with the most powerful weapon system ever devised by man. As you are now learning, the ramifications are dire. Many lives will be permanently changed as a result.

But, this costly lesson must not be in vain.

The lesson? Had just one solitary Airman spoken up for integrity, our leadership team would have been able to take action immediately.

Tragically, peer pressure and the fear of being an outcast prevailed. As a result, the misconduct had to be inadvertently discovered by OSI agents.

Think of how different the narrative would be had the silent Airman just come forward. That Airman would now be lionized as a hero for casting aside his or her own fear of being made an outcast by a few inadequate peers.
That Airman would have single-handedly preserved the honor and dignity of Malmstrom and all the wonderful people who make up this incredible wing.
But it didn’t happen. Wrong won out over right… the voice of integrity was silenced… and the good guy lost at the end of the movie.

This is a wake-up call for everyone who has lost their sense of right and wrong, for those who have become cynical, and for those indoctrinated by modern society to acquiesce when faced with bad behavior.

“All that is necessary for evil to flourish, is for good people to do nothing.” I highlighted this old axiom as the main point of my change of command speech a little over a year ago. I implored our formations of Airmen that it never be said of Malmstrom that “we did nothing” in the face of evil. I can’t imagine a more vivid reinforcement of that lesson than what we’re going through now.

As your wing commander, it occurs to me that I’ve been blessed with the opportunity of a lifetime. It’s been one I neither expected nor deserved.

Our amazing Airmen and their families, the astoundingly supportive community, and the successes of Wing One have far outweighed the bad. Just being allowed to be a small part of your lives is a memory that Cheryl and I will cherish forever. But, like all things of great value, such blessings come with equally great costs. I represent this wing to the world, and we let the American people down on my watch.

With that realization, and the genuine hope that my action will stir even the most apathetic hearts to action, I have decided to volunteer my resignation from this post effective immediately. This request has been accepted. I have also requested, and been approved for, retirement from the United States Air Force. If this sacrifice by Cheryl and me influences just one Airman to stand up for what’s right the next time they are confronted by immorality, it will have been worth every tear and sleepless night.

But, I do have one last command: Each and every one of you must now give your full allegiance, support, and enthusiasm to your new commander. I know that you will forge an even stronger team than the one we were so carefully building.

It’s been the highest honor of my career to serve with the 341st Missile Wing and the Great Falls Community. You will always occupy a special place in our hearts.

Col S.

The only way I can see around this problem is for some sort of citizen-created laws that require any police officer employee (emphasis on the word “employee”) who is involved in a “officer involved shooting” to be automatically charged and subject to a jury trial.

Prosecutors are completely dependent on police and find any excuse to allow them continue to work, collect generous pensions and avoid all penalties. The obfuscation is amazing.

9/11 was the day the rule of law died in America. It is now being run as a criminal enterprise.
