South Carolina officer was standing at a gas station in Moncks Corner (just north of Charleston) talking to customer when he was ambushed by shooter and shot multiple times. 

South Carolina – Berkeley County Sheriff Lt. Will Rogers is out of surgery and in stable condition at MUSC after suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in Moncks Corner at 10:30 p.m. Thursday night.

The incident happened at the Exxon at Highway 52 and Cypress Gardens in Moncks Corner. The shooting happened in the Moncks Corner Police Department jurisdiction.
Officials say Lt. Rogers was talking to a customer at the gas station when the suspect came up and shot him several times.
Lt. Rogers was a candidate for Berkeley County Sheriff in the GOP Primary.
The suspect was driving a Black Santa Fe SUV with tag number 542-85W. The vehicle was found shortly after a BOLO on the vehicle was released. (more…)

It should be noted the program relates to “non-violent drug felons”; the key aspect being the definition of “violent”. As Marilyn Mosby and all of the Baltimore officials have noted, arson, looting and destruction of property is considered “non-violent”.
(Via Marilyn Mosby) Baltimore City State’s Attorney, Marilyn Mosby, announced a new pilot program Thursday aimed at reducing Baltimore’s recidivism and unemployment rates. Mosby’s Aim to B’more launched May 4th. Mosby’s pilot program is open to 30 eligible participants, who are non-violent— first time— felony drug offenders. Each participant will have their record expunged after successful completion of the program.

Deborah Spector, Deputy Director of Crime Control and Prevention, spent the last four months building the program under the direction of Mosby. Spector was recruited to the office in January, and is a former public defender who spent nearly 20 years representing the poor in Howard County and Baltimore City. (more…)

Media again playing GUESS THE RACES: Level 4 Media Cloaking Device Activated !  “Jacksonville”, “Students”, “two men”, “approximately 18-years old”, “one was not wearing a shirt”:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — School officials say two students have been shot on a school bus in Florida.
[…] A spokesperson for the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) said Thursday that witnesses reported seeing two men, who looked approximately 18 years old, firing at the bus. One was not wearing a shirt, the spokesperson said.
[…]  Ford says the bus serves three alternative educational schools in the area of the shooting.  (read more)

You won’t find the race of the shooters described if you look through the Associated Press report on the shooting either (link)
Another media report goes further with a description of events, even giving the name of a victim, but stops short when it comes to the shooters; leaving this dangling participle: (more…)

Clearly unstable bad guy steals a truck then leads a city police car on a chase.  Bad guy then pulls over, reverses and rams police officer and vehicle, takes off again.  Bad guy then encounters Sheriff officer, rams his car bursting it into flames – takes off again.  Bad guy encounters third officer, pulls over and attacks officer while trying to take his gun.  Officer shoots and wounds bad guy.
I doubt you could find a better representative video showing how various law enforcement agencies are fearful of doing their job amid the current anti-police climate.  In this video the County Sheriff is almost apologetic for law enforcement having to do their job.

(Hat Tip Partyzantski) who shares: …”This video shows the mentality behind the mob feral behavior. The guy, acting out of good faith, goes to pull the warring factions apart. He ends up hospitalized. People were calling for him to be killed. This is barbarism.
[…]  Here is a safety tip for all: If you are in a place and all of a sudden the demographic changes, GTFO. Just drop your burger or whatever and LEAVE with all those you came with. Get out and get separation. Keep walking away. Get away. NEVER interpose yourself. As an outsider, it is an affront to the warring factions. Cops know domestic calls are potentially some of the most violent, these situations are dangerous for the same reasons”...
NEW YORK – BROOKLYN (PIX11) — Another disturbing teen melee broke out inside a Brooklyn McDonald’s Friday, and this time, the brawlers turned their violence on an innocent man trying to break the fracas up and on employees of the fast food joint.

It is always fascinating to research the ways liberals find legislative maneuvers to skirt around the realities of running out of money to pay for their various “social justice” causes.  A review of Baltimore Maryland education spending highlights their approach when they run out of other people’s money.

We say “other peoples money”, because we all know that liberals don’t spend their own money on these programs – instead they develop ways to “reach out” beyond their own economic roadblocks.
In Maryland there is a program called the Geographic Cost of Education Index or GCEI. A liberal legislative maneuver described thusly:

… a discretionary fund for school systems where educational costs are above the state average.

Removing the parseltongue you find the GCEI actually means a state budgetary funding trick to help pay for education within a community that has already exhausted its own ability to fund itself.
Expanding on the reality the GCEI also means: a state budgetary funding trick to pay for unsustainable union wages and benefits for educators within the school system that has exhausted its own ability to fund itself. (more…)

This is like a never ending song with a repeating chorus. It was not long ago the entire Baltimore jail system had to be torn apart and restructured after it was discovered that corrections officers were part of the gang trade, smuggling drugs to prisoners, allowing prisoners to leave jail on weekends, having sex with prisoners and several female officers were pregnant.
Now video discovers Baltimore corrections officers participating in the looting and riots…

Do you know why they’re smiling?  Think about where they’re headed !

(Via Daily Caller) Two correctional officers who work at the Baltimore City jail were suspended without pay Wednesday after video emerged showing them looting a 7-11 store during last month’s riots. (more…)

Before the Baltimore riots hit the national news a less publicized beating of a Dundalk Maryland resident surfaced. We initially wrote about it HERE.

Richard Fletcher was brutally beaten by a group of Baltimore High School students after he asked them not to fight around his truck. Approximately 25 to 30 black “teens” brutally attacked Fletcher knocking him unconscious. They continued to kick him, stomp on his head and robbed him after he was unable to defend himself.
Many of the students filmed the beating and posted it on their social media, but the police told a nearby business owner NOT to share the CCTV footage because of concerns the public would be outraged by the video.
As the Baltimore Sun reported last night, five of the attackers were identified after an anonymous person slid video of the attack under a teachers door at the school. (more…)

You can find below the complete 27 page investigative report on the shooting of Tony Robinson – including numerous eye-witnesses to the events up to and including the shooting. You should read the witness statements, it removes any doubt about whether Tony Robinson was in a “normal” frame of mind.
The details remove all doubt about justification.  It’s not even a close call.
However, what you might find additionally interesting is the complete local, state and federal (yes, DOJ involved too) was completed in March, and the full investigative report turned over to the State Attorney on March 27th. Why did the State Attorney wait until mid-May (almost two months) to announce a decision?

“Budget Cuttin’ Violence“…

Hank “Tippy Guam” Johnson – During an interview last week on WABE radio’s “A Closer Look” program Johnson said he voted against the GOP budget measure because of its domestic spending cuts and added that its passage could result in violence.

“If we’re not careful the have-nots of this country will rise up like the people in Baltimore,” Johnson said.

“What happened in Baltimore stems from deeper economic issues and if you would take a ride down the streets of some of the greatly impoverished areas of Baltimore where change has not come, where things are the same as they were 50 years ago and have been allowed to grow worse then you will understand the lack of hope of which those riots were born from.” (more…)
