Sleuth Journal – by Justin King
A 17-year-old kid was tased into a coma and suffered brain damageafter Officer Tim Runnels arrested him for a traffic ticket that was associated with the car he had borrowed. It was not his ticket. The window was broken and the minor could not roll the window down completely when ordered. Therefore the officer used force to enforce an unlawful order. The department has stated that Runnels acted within policy and placed the officer on paid vacation. The minor is the son of another police officer. Since it deals with one of their own, the FBI has launched a probe.
If putting a child in a coma for someone else’s traffic ticket is within policy, where does it end?
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”
-President John F. Kennedy
Weeks of peaceful protests and outright riots in Missouri have accomplished nothing. The government has chosen to protect its enforcement class rather than its citizens. If peaceful requests for a redress of grievances, as guaranteed in the US Constitution, fail to work, do people have the right to engage in violence to protect their life and the lives of their loved ones?
Police officer deaths are at an all time low, yet cases of police brutality are at an all time high. More importantly, officers are not held accountable for their actions and are allowed to walk free even when a video is available that shows them murdering someone who is begging for their life. What are the American people to do when the protests, politicians, and courts have failed them?
Americans have been told that their freedom rests on four boxes: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.
People have exercised their right to stand on soap boxes and speak against the corruption and brutality that is plaguing the American justice system for decades and nothing has been done.
The ballot box has been proven pointless as special interests, police unions, and corrupt elected officials protect law enforcement in exchange for preferential treatment.
The jury box is also pointless as prosecutors and law enforcement work hand in glove to cover up the misdeeds of their fellow law enforcers.
The first three boxes have been used and proved to be useless against the machine of general mayhem that is known as the “thin blue line.” The only box left available to the American people is the cartridge box. Objections to shooting a cop are so ingrained in the American psyche that I can visualize many readers wincing as the subject is openly discussed. The discussion of uncomfortable ideas is the only path to reform; but to avoid sending the gentle reader into a shock-induced coma faster than Runnels’ taser, allow me to phrase the question differently:
If an organization displayed a pattern of assault, rape, murder, theft,home invasion, and racketeering would a person coming in contact with members of that organization have a reasonable expectation that they would be harmed if they did not act to preserve their own life?
All of a sudden the question seems almost ridiculously easy to answer. Of course, a person would have the right to defend their life and property when confronted with such an organization. So why are those that wear blue uniforms instead of blue bandanas immune from this judgment of guilt?
The answer is simple: propaganda. Much like those that turned a blind eye to totalitarian police forces throughout history, the average American sees these people as heroes out defending democracy against the threat of lawlessness. The problem, of course, is that the United States is not a democracy; it is an oligarchy.
Some readers probably retracted in horror from the screen at the idea that the United States is not what was told to them in their high school civics class. The term oligarchy gets thrown around and sometimes people aren’t clear on exactly what it means. Provided below is the definition.
Full Definition of OLIGARCHY
1 government by the few
2 a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes; also : a group exercising such control
3 an organization under oligarchic control
Does that seem more like the government we have today, or does the government represent the will of the people, as it would in a republic or a democracy?
Knowing those in government are out to pursue corrupt and selfish interests, makes it a lot easier to view the cop who is beating homeless people to death as the Sheriff of Nottingham and the government as Prince John. So where are Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men?
Where are those that are willing to stand up to injustice and fight those that would kill your child or maim them with a grenade to please the ruling class? Is it time to meet force with force in cases of police brutality? Is it time to stop demonizing the term “cop killer?”
The police watchdog group Cop Block put out video pondering this very question before the topic became the subject of national debate.
While I make it a point to never advocate violence, I will say that I can’t wait to go to Sherwood Forest and cover the story.
I openly posed this question on my personal Facebook account; these are some of the responses I received. It should be noted that at the time of writing not a single person indicated they believed it was wrong to use violence against law enforcement officers that were overstepping their bounds.
I pose the question to the reader: Is it time to start resisting police with violence?

“When Should We Start Forcibly Resisting Police Tyranny?”
I think the time is long overdue. Your life’s in mortal danger whenever a cop comes near you, regardless of whether or not you’re doing anything wrong or illegal, and it has become perfectly reasonable to fear that you may be killed at any traffic stop.
An army of brutal thugs has been unleashed upon the American people, and their job is to beat, cattle-prod, maim, kill or rape ANYONE who shows any sign that they’re not willing to submit to all manner of tyranny.
They may dress like the same old cops, but they’re not about “law enforcement” anymore. Their new job is to beat the American people into submission, and prepare them to live under communist tyranny.
You have no rights. Those days are over unless you’re ready to fight for them.
Applause. Well said Jolly Roger. Long overdue.
JR you forgot pillage 😉
We are way behind the eight ball because we have been buying into the rhetoric of waiting for “when they come for our guns”. When all rights are lost and you have been forced into submission through starvation you will gladly turn in old trusty for a loaf of GMO bread. Then those that continue to not rely on the government for their food and refuse to turn in their guns will have the ‘pigs’ released on them. That’s when they will come for your guns, then there will be nothing left to lose on either side…….The 2A was not put there to protect your shooting sports and the tools, it was put there to deter tyranny. Tyranny reigns because we have failed to use the 2A to uphold and defend the Constitution against these domestic enemies. Long overdue is right Jolly Roger.
Andy, How about this we get our team together and find that bread for guns line. 10 or 15 freemen go and take their bread and the guns from all turning in guns, put them down if need be.
The only way people are going to wake up and see what’s going on around them is when it hits them personally. It’s happening more and more because the cops are seeing to that. Unfortunately, most people are still stuck in their little “safe” routines and don’t have or want a clue. They are so brainwashed I feel like it’s a hopeless cause to even try to alert them. Reminds me of a Pink Floyd song. SHEEP. (Harmlessly passing their time in the grassland away, only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air) Yup, that’s everyone I know. Sad but true.
You are hopeless. You lap up the enemy’s lying ass propaganda like a dog lapping up its own vomit. There are not just a few of us, pal, there are a plenty to wipe our enemy out right now.
Maybe that’s why I’m seeing such a big push by the communists to push that tired old agenda of theirs, “It’s futile to resist”. They are about to get wiped out and they know it.
Just know and have peace in your heart that WHEN (not if) that day comes, you will most likely be alone, outnumbered and vilified in the eyes of the public through the media.
And make no mistake about it, the day IS coming when every individual will have to make the choice before they walk out of their door in the morning between being a criminal in the eyes of “the law” and society, and disobeying their own conscience.
For some of us, that day has already come.
Just know this. Have war in your heart and if you fall, die knowing your people are going to wipe the enemy out to a man and that we outnumber our enemy 300 to 1.
Do not acquiesce to apathy.
Henry, the last word people use to describe me is apathetic. I’m locked and loaded, my friend and will not go quietly.
None of my friends will. This sector is well prepared.
and there you have it, another cops son. imagine being a cop where half the force belong to the white brotherhood and the other half doesn’t but all still belong to the brotherhood.
“Much like those that turned a blind eye to totalitarian police forces throughout history, the average American sees these people as heroes out defending democracy against the threat of lawlessness. The problem, of course, is that the United States is not a democracy; it is an oligarchy.”
You make it sound like the US was always a democracy. It was NEVER a democracy. It’s a Constitutional Republic!!!!
“The minor is the son of another police officer. Since it deals with one of their own, the FBI has launched a probe.”
Oh!! So when it deals with one of their own, the FBI gets involved, but when it’s an ordinary American National, they don’t care. Yea, I see how it is.
I agree with JR. You are better off shooting a cop any time you come into contact with one. Safer that way.
By the Brezhnev era, after tens of millions had been exterminated in the gulag, many Russians lamented that “submissiveness had softened our brains to such a degree” that resistance was no longer possible. All of this could have been avoided, Solzhenitsyn contended, if resistance had begun “at the moment of arrest itself.”
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”– Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
