Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

This is EXACTLY the type of proactive stop you should want police officers to be making.

Exactly. TONS of bad criminals are taken off the streets as a result of lawful, but initially minor, stops.

Two real examples?

Unsafe lane change...turns out it's a car with 100lbs of meth driven by a dude with no prior record.

Turn signal infraction...turns out it's got a couple homicidal dudes high on meth who just drove from Vegas looking to kill cops.

And the list goes on and on and on...happens every day.

You left out the part where he assaulted one of the sheriffs .

Like every other situation. I was not there and not going to armchair the incident.


On a side note I keep reading the mantra THIS NEVER HAPPENED UNDER OBAMA'S WATCH!!

I point out. Zimmerman in Fla and Ferguson MO. and the ripple effect it had across the country with attacks on cops, riots etc.

To date people still believe St. Swisher was killed by a racist white cop with an itchy trigger finger. AND zimmerman targeted the soon to be, college bound martin.

Even after linking the FBI etc findings. They are still in denial

If I had a little brother, he would have look like RittenHOUSER.

The recent trailer for Call of Duty: Cold War has a lot of the Marxists triggered for a couple of reasons. The first is that it calls out Communism as bad and Communists as trying to undermine American society. The second is that it features good ole Ronald Reagan for a short bit.

The segment featuring Yuri Bezmenov has a lot of people talking precisely because he outlines a Communist approach that very closely parallels the past 20-30 years in America. A better clip of former Comrade Bezmenov is featured here

By my accounting, the Leftists were into Phase 1 in the early 1990s and got into Phase 2 during the last year or two of Bush the Younger's administration. They've been trying to get into Phase 3 ever since the latter half of Obama's administration. The Occupy movement and start of BLM were all about destabilization and continue to this day with Antifa, BLM Part 2, etc. Election of AOC and "the squad", SJW redefinition of America and American society is all part of normalizing the abnormal.

What? Who were these guys? Where were they driving from?

The unsafe lane change was a dude driving from CA in Sept 2019 around Glenwood Springs. He was doing 3 MPH over too if IIRC.

The turn signal one was a uhaul in Vail in Dec 2019.

It happens all the time. These are not extraordinary incidents. A good cop can routinely turn a burned out license plate lamp (or other minor violation) into a felony with just a few questions and good observation skills. It doesn't happen on every stop. But persistence pays off.

My theory was people who don't pay attention to small stuff (violating bike ordinances) don't pay attention to the big stuff.

?High-caliber weaponry? and grenade launchers. WTF?

Sounds like 3 Aurora lawmakers volunteered to become meat shields.

Just 1 more reason to do a walk around of ones vehicle before taking a road trip. Or, when driving at night.

If you read the YHN and other media outlets. You may have noticed they've turned off their comments section. While some of it was nothing but name calling and personal attacks. The ones who pointed out inconsistencies, as well as other venues, with documentation. For said rebuttal, have been silenced.


IMO it's due to how close the election numbers are ....and the "need" to silence those who do not follow the media, blindly.

Most major news outlets turned off or hid their comment sections back around 2014-2015.

Not yahoo. They just did it in the last few months, under the guise of civility. Yet their "reporting: has taken a harder turn to the left, since then.

. USAT shut theirs down last year. But 1 of a few different sm sites allows people to comment. The wapo is still commenting. BUT most of the papers have done one of those, You must be a subscriber type things.
