that would be an effective way to depopulate the force, since if it ever passed (no chance in this bootlickin' shithole demon cracker nation) the scared lil feral hogs would quit in droves if they couldn't have their lil 9mm unarmed POC eliminator.

a few states have red flag laws with exceptions for cops that go around the courts and straight to their own internal affairs department instead. i’m sure those petitions are filed promptly!

STILLWATER, Okla. (KFOR) – A Stillwater single mother of two is left homeless after the home she was living in was at the center of a standoff Wednesday night that ended with suspect was not inside.

“I was pleading with them that they could have the keys and that he wasn’t in there,” said Brittany Fent, who has lived at the home in Oakridge for three years.

Now, she says management has told her she was evicted and left to pay for what damages occurred.

Stillwater Police said they had gotten word Wednesday afternoon from Lincoln County Officials of Lewis Bearden III being inside the home. Police said that he had felony arrest warrants for burglary and robbery and that they had information he would be there.

“He wasn’t there and I told them several times that he wasn’t,” said Fent. “I kept begging them to use my keys and get inside if needed, but they didn’t listen or believe me. Now I’m left without a home.”

Fent told KFOR that she had dated Bearden but they had broken up over a month ago.

“I am living paycheck to paycheck trying to afford food for my girls,” said Fent. “I got an eviction notice earlier today and management told me that I would be the one to have to pay for the damages.”

She has two little girls who live in the home and were with their grandparents when the standoff happened.

“Now they don’t have their clothes, their beds are broken,” said Fent.

The damage is extensive throughout the home and on the outside. Several windows were broken, the door had been ripped off, the children’s beds had been broken into wooden pieces, clothes were thrown around, damage all over the walls, a TV busted, and more.

“I told them that they can willingly go inside and that they don’t have to demolish it,” said Fent.

Stillwater Police are still searching for Bearden as of Thursday, and said that he could be dangerous.

When asked why they decided to break the kid’s beds among the other things in the house SPD replied, “Once we’re inside we’re searching every possible location, trying to look through anything that could help find him.”

“I just wish they would’ve believed me that he wasn’t there and I wish that they understood how the damage would leave us heartbroken and I don’t even know how to tell my kids what happened,” said Fent.

For now, Fent and her kids are staying with her sister-in-law until she can find a more permanent situation.

“I work just to live week by week and paycheck to paycheck, I don’t have any money so I don’t know what happens next,” said Fent.

Police ask if anyone knows Bearden’s location, they are asked to not approach him and call 911 immediately.

RIO RANCHO, N.M. —
A law has been in place for police departments and law enforcement to remove firearms from anyone they think is an immediate threat to someone.

However, Target 7 has learned one of New Mexico's largest counties, Sandoval County, has never used it.

Some argue that 82-year-old Rio Rancho woman Juneanne Fannell would still be alive if it was used.

The Rio Rancho Police Department and Fire Department arrived at the home in April to find Fannell in a hospital bed. First responders were there after caretaker Henry Cardana called for emergency services.

Cardana told 911 that Fannell was uncontrollable and that they needed to get her out of the home for her own safety. Cardana had been the caretaker for Fannell for several years.

Fannell also spoke during the 911 call and said that she felt like she was in danger. She also said there were weapons in the home after the dispatcher asked.

Rio Rancho officers talk with Cardana about the firearms inside the home.

"You're a firearms guy?" an officer asked.

"Oh, yeah," Cardana said.

"Nice," the officer said.

"They're loaded. They're ready to go," Cardana said.

"We don't need to see them," the officer said. "There's one probably right there in that case. And I see another one over there."

The officer continued saying, "I like folks that have guns," since he is a gun owner himself. As the officers begin to say their goodbyes to Cardana and Fannell, she begs them to stay at the home.

Then, the conversation continues between Cardana and Fannell once the officers say they have to go.

"What did you say?" Fannell asked.

"I said you're fine until I kill you," Cardana said.

"All right? He's threatened to do that," Fannell said to the Rio Rancho police officers.

"Get out of here now," Cardana said to the officers. "Go away."

The two officers leave, and four hours later, 911 receives another call. This time from a neighbor.

"The neighbor man was screaming for help and told us to call the police," the neighbor said. "He says he's killed her."

Police returned to find Cardana covered in blood. He had just shot and killed Fannell, according to court documents. KOAT legal expert John Day says more could have been done.

"In this particular case, it sounds like there was plenty of information that the law enforcement had that would have triggered the implementation of a red flag law," Day said.

The law is the extreme risk firearm protection order. It was enacted in July 2020 after two years of debate in the state capitol.

However, the majority of elected sheriffs in New Mexico oppose it and have said they will not enforce the law. However, the passed law allows law enforcement and prosecutors to petition a court.

Those petitions will have a gun owners guns seized if there is a credible threat they will do harm to others or themselves. Day explains how it works.

"There's a process for the for law enforcement to go to a court and get a temporary order saying go get those guns, put them away somewhere safe," Day said. "We'll deal with this and let some time pass, let people cool off."

woman begs cops to not leave her with a caretaker who she says makes her feel unsafe and has lots of guns around. caretaker than threatens the woman in front of the cops who do nothing. they leave and she’s dead hours later. good work to our brave boys in blue

Essentially the criminal justice system is a religious system. The most important component is belief. Places where crime happens are hotspots of spiritual pollution. Positioning a few "priests" AKA cop cars around the area allows the pollution to be washed away. Criminal trials are purification rituals. Some large crime has occured and the spiritual stain has spread across the community. Finding someone guilty and subjecting them to a harsh punishment is like burning sage. If your bike is stolen, you are upset, your whole world has been upended. Therefore, you call the priests. They have you perform ritual actions, such as providing a formal statement. They also, ritualistically, promise to do their best, while managing your expectations. These rites being performed, your spirit has been placated. You can go on with your life. The function of the police is to make you, a certain yous, feel better.

Basically two cops get mad that homeless man didn't instantly lick their boots so they beat him and kill his service dog.

An actual trained service dog. Saying that it bit them. From several feet away. Gross.
