Here we go again another nut case has shot up a school.

Here we go again another nut case has shot up a school.

 Police officers have failed to respond to an obvious action required situation and you are all asking WHY?  Why would an officer that has such longevity on a police force fail to recognize when the situation requires that he or she put it all on the line.

I was in policing for 30 years I wrote my book “A view from the street /River City Policing” by S. Henry Knocker on this very subject.

The problem goes much deeper than you might think I wrote my book on this subject Doing the minimum and getting the maximum. This is an attitude that contributes to the failures that we witness throughout the public service arena and in private sector as well.

There are those that work around us that never measure up they can’t or won’t do the job and we tolerate this behavior. They do this to avoid complaints from the public. Doing nothing becomes a habit and when the stuff hits the fan they freeze. They haven’t done anything. They have no experiences to rely on. They have actually trained themselves to do nothing. Police administrations and politicians actually encourage this behavior. Weather it is deliberate or not I can’t say.

I can tell you what happened to me. I had a situation you can read about in my book. I was confronted with a man with a 30/30 rifle advancing toward me my choices were to run or stand my ground. It was a standoff I had my 9MM pointed right at him if he tried to move the rifle up to fire. I would have Shot this fool without one bit of remorse. Something told me not to, I let him walk up to me face to face then I bowled him over. We crashed threw a glass coffee table. I disarmed him and that was that I thought.

Well the New Chief at the time thought I should have run and let his new Swat team deal with a barricaded suspect in a residential area because that is what the book said at the time. Somehow turning my back on a 30/30 in the hands of a Known Nut Case was not that appealing to me at the time. The fool chief’s answer was well the gun turned out not to be loaded, and he put a letter of reprimand in my file.

Over my career both in the military and police force, I have received numerous awards and citations. I also receive a goodly number of complaints that I was over zealous and was picking on certain bad actors in the community.

It was my attitude if I kept getting an invitation to deal with you and you caused me to do paperwork. I was not going to be inclined to give you a break when that little thing cropped up in your life that I was made aware of. On the other hand when you saw the light you got the same breaks I afforded the average Joe. It was Fergie’s incentive program.   I was of the mindset that the judge was busy and didn’t need me sending things up to the courts that folks were truly remorseful for. I told a lot of folks “Why should you be charged a couple hundred bucks for a lecture from a lawyer that I could give you for free”. Most folks appreciated the wisdom. The ones that didn’t I just sent them over to the judge and they got the lecture straight from the horse’s mouth.

The whole point is that officers need to be supported properly by their administrations to get the best out of them

If you want to read up on this my book is on amazon.  I use the book as a fundraiser for the V F W it is called ” A View from the Street / River City Policing By S. Henry Knocker See Help the Vets at Post 5564 on face book

All rights come with responsibilities

                                           All rights come with responsibilities

The U S Constitution with its bill of rights is the foundation of the idea that we must rule ourselves with civility and charity towards all.

The duty to listen

We have as a responsibility to listen to our “Fellow Citizens” and to treat that discourse civilly even when that discourse seems treasonous to the Idea of the Constitution, with its bill of rights. I don’t believe we owe that same duty to none citizens. We should merely tolerate them as hopefully well-meaning advisers. They are like the neighbor who butts in to tell you how to raise your children.

This country has some well-meaning neighbors butting in and not only telling us our jobs, but taking over our jobs without even an invitation and to make matters worse they left their kids here to finish the fight when we kicked them out of the country. Don’t you think this is Rude behavior?

The duty to defend

All of us have a duty to defend one another against the invasion of those that seek to force their will on us even if there are those in our family that think the invaders have a point. Until we have decided among ourselves, the invaders are just that invaders crowding our space and interrupting our civil discourse.

The duty to moderate the extremes

We have a duty to moderate the extremes. Some in the family want to round all these invaders up and line them up against President Trump’s wall and shoot them and send that message. Well that is extremist!!

On the other hand we have a group of family members that want to give the invaders everything they are demanding and more they want all the neighbors to come and live in our house with their rules and we should feel ashamed that we haven’t done that yet, and by the way we should put it to a vote and let the neighbors all vote too. Oh yah! and we should let the invaders intimidate anyone that disagrees with the invaders with street demonstrations. Well this is extremist also!!!

 

The middle ground here is to send them all home.

Somehow I don’t think that is going to happen.  Do You?

Blog 89 More on the Corruption at the Department of Justice

Leave a comment

 See Blog 77

When I wrote the above blog I could not have foreseen the events of this past year but they were predictable.

This criminal cabal that has been assembled within the F B I is so dangerous to the Nation that, if it is what it looks like, The department of justice should consider treason as one of the options they look at for dealing with these (Jackwangs).!

Sounds a bit strong? Well maybe? I have NO! Political Affiliations. I am over 70 and have served the nation in one capacity or another for over 35 of those years. I have over 30 years in law enforcement.

Largely do to my life experiences; I am conservative in my views and tolerant of the views of others. I don’t give a dam what you think, or what cause you espouse. I support your right as a fellow American to have and express your opinion.\

We can talk treason to our heart’s content.

We act on our ideas through the political process which ends at the ballot box!

Any commercial enterprise that encourages discussion under the constitution of this great nation has the obligation of free and fair treatment of all views. I warn you Google, Facebook, Twitter Etc. you sensor us at your peril.

Any use of force to shut down free speech or intimidate others or disrupt the voting process is reprehensible.

Any public servant who donates to a political campaign should go home and write their resignation first.

Those that serve in government at any level have the obligation to protect and serve with honor and humility, neither asking nor giving favor, subjugating our personal views to this duty we have to freely and fairly administer the constitution. We are the referees, we throw the flags, if we are not unbiased, the fans don’t like it.

My blog 88 included below is an example of what happens when the law is subjugated by political bias. God help these politicians that place their bias above the law.

Corruption at: The Department of Justice

For the last 30 years or so the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. has become more and more Politically Corrupt.

This organization is supposed to be the peoples watch dog of the government. It has become the lap dog of whatever political machine is in power. It may have always been this way, but I just noticed it sense the Nixon administration. We can’t trust the political parties to police themselves any more. As long as the ruling party has control of the Justice Department they are free to use their power to harass and intimidate their rivals.

So now we have the IRS EPA, and others being used for political witch hunts.  The State Department playing fast and loose with national secrets and the Justice Department dragging its feet on the investigation of a politician while just two years ago they slammed a poor little Army corporal into the big house so fast he needed a Sex change operation. It’s just not right.

What I think we need here is an amendment to the constitution taking the department of Justice out of the political realm, and make it an independently elected nonpartisan possession, that We the people elect every two years with the house of representatives. We should term limit the job and bar any retirement or compensation other than what we the people set as fair and just compensation indexed to inflation. End of story. This way that office would be beholding to the people and only the people.

No more enforcing only the laws that politics dictate. That will teach the political parties not to make laws that they don’t want enforced.

It would also be welcome if at the same time they add a line to the amendment that states “ All elected officials shall adhere to the spirit of the constitution and the courts shall interpret the constitution as it was originally intended Under penalty of impeachment.”    The Congress shall fully fund the Department of Justice, least they use the power of the purse for mischief.

Blog 88      Murder Most Foul !

When we suffer the murder of one of our fellow citizens in this state and the Governor and his policies can be argued as being complicit in the act , it is time that someone said something.

When a small army of invaders can kidnap a mother of four from a public place and execute her by making her kneel and shooting her in the back of the head with a 40cal hand gun and then riddle her body with 13 more rounds someone should say something.

When government policies can be seen as one of the factors that led to the ability of those invaders to perpetrate this act of war against the civilian population of this state someone should say something.

Here are the facts as reported on one of the national news channels.

(Do not read further if you do not have a strong stomach)

Last week a group of five armed foreign nationals some, or all of whom, had been previously deported, became involved in an argument with one of our citizens at a public event. One or more of these invaders became upset, with a women. These five invaders then took this mother of four forcibly into a vehicle and transported her to a remote area. They then removed her from the vehicle and forced her to kneel and then shot her in the head with a 40cal handgun .We can only imagine what they did to her before they murdered her in this way.

As one who has investigated shootings let me describe to you what possibly happened here.

Warning this will be graphic.

After doing whatever they did to her in the last hours of her life? They took her forcible from the vehicle forced her to her knees and shot her with a 40cal hand gun. If shot from the back of the head, this would have exploded her head leaving her ears and tattered flesh where her head was. Blood brains and bone would have been scattered over a wide area. As if this was not enough with the body lying on the ground they began shooting her with additional rounds from this 40cal cannon of a hand gun,13 in all, each round ripping her body, breaking bone until her body was as a ragdoll. They then left the whole mess for the men and women of law enforcement and the medical profession to clean up. No open casket here. No last kiss for her loved ones to give their final good byes. Four children left without a mother. An extended family devastated with grief.

What will be our response to this? The press and politicians’ will find some excuse to justify their convictions that these are just misguided poor folks from across our borders who just wanted a better life. Somehow it our fault somehow they need State and City protections from a Federal Government trying to” keep these animals the HELL out of our country”. codling these morons is being done largely to covet Votes

To add insult to injury we have a Governor that just can’t kill them back, his conscience, won’t allow that. There is an old saying “if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen”.   When the chief law enforcement office of the state just can’t or won’t do the job, that man or woman should be removed.  When State or City officials, including Police, conspire to circumvent the law, including federal law. Those conspirators should face the full force of the laws involving conspiracy. Conspiracy is when two or more persons get together to hinder the enforcement of a law or to commit a breach of any law. Our politicians don’t believe they are subject to the laws that we are all subject too. Just you get caught harboring a felon see what that gets you. The state and some cities are doing just that. Our Governor Has apparently instructed the State patrol Chief to discipline a trooper because he dared to turn over one of these invaders to ICE.

I remember a time in the 70’s the city mayor tried something similar and the rank and file officers told him through the chain of command to stuff it. The state troopers association should tell the Governor to stuff it and threaten him with obstruction of justice and official misconduct.

If I were Governor, it would take me about five minutes to send the charging documents to the prosecuting attorney and charge every politician that joined this conspiracy by word or deed.

The political parties have failed us. The watchdogs of the press have failed us by joining the criminals in their folly and now they are asking the law enforcement community to fail us in their duty to enforce the law without regard to political favor.

Folks, if you allow the law enforcement to be politicized in this way these political parties will take advantage, and become even more corrupt than they already are.

God help us if that happens.

86 theknockerblog.com Long Lonely Nights

1 Comment

There was a time in my career that a police officer on patrol after midnight may not hear a sound out of the Radio for long boring hours. Nothing was said by anyone. There was the occasional test of the mike when an officer would reach over and depress the button on the mike just to assure himself that the radio was still working. Some other officer would give you two clicks back. Sometimes the radio operator would be awakened by this noise and blurt out 10-4 KOK544. Then dead silence while the whole shift broke out in laughter in the patrol cars. We were in two man cars on the graveyard shift in those days. I said two MAN cars because that’s how it was. The ladies mostly were dispatchers and secretaries.  The nights gave us much to ponder.

We thought about the various threats that might confront us. The LT. coming out of the station to recover a stolen car that may have been dropped in your district. One that some citizen had noticed and called in the plate. The silver Fox as he was known, loved to jack you up about, you not finding the car. He pretended he had just come out, and boom finds a stolen car. Later one of the guys found a tape of the William Tell Overture and when the Fox came out they played it over the radio it let everyone know.

He was being mocked. A multi-year cat and mouse game in sued to discover who the culprits were. Just when they had it pined to one shift the thing popped up on another. They appealed for us to stop it saying the FCC was after us and other attempts to ferret out the miscreants but nothing worked.

The silver Fox was on his own the chief thought it was funny. I had let him in on the game the Fox was playing.

Now day’s Street cops are too busy all day and all night to have the time to play these games. The worries are different now. They worry about the left ginning up violence. We had that problem also, but not to the extent it goes on now.

In addition they have to worry about saying the wrong thing, global warming causing the oceans to rise, girls trying to be boys and boys trying to be girls, to many tattoos to put in that little box on the booking form.

Politicians exempt from the laws they make.  Judges and the politicians acting as the leaders of lynch mobs, trying to lynch officers, just trying to live to see their kids another day.

One of these days the BS will stop when either the cops walk off the job or the order is given to crack heads till order is restored.

In this day with Legions of little black hooded White Anarchist in open rebellion against the nation,   destroying property, setting fires and looting. The end can’t be far off.

A bloody reset is coming

Blog 85 theknockerblog.com The Clinton foundation is a washing machine

Leave a comment

The Clinton foundation is a washing machine

Passed in 1970, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a federal law designed to combat organized crime in the United States. It allows prosecution and civil penalties for racketeering activity performed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise. Such activity may include illegal gambling, bribery, kidnapping, murder, money laundering, counterfeiting, embezzlement, drug trafficking, slavery, and a host of other unsavory business practices.

It appears that: the Clintons have created an organization that gathers tax exempt money under the pretense that it is doing charitable work. Large amounts of Money are coming from foreign governments that have business with our state department Favors are done for these state actors in return for donations to the foundation. The money is then funneled back to the Clintons through contracts issued to Clinton supporters enriching the supporters. Supporters of the Clintons in return higher the Clintons to give speeches to the groups. In this way the Clintons make millions, there friends make millions, and the donors get favors at the expense of the American people.

What the harm hear? Isn’t this just business? Why shouldn’t Bill get rich making speeches? He earned it.

No!

Follow the money back to the reason it was given in the first place. The deals that were agreed to brought millions to the foundation in exchange for Favors.  20% of U.S. uranium to Russian State actors. The deal was worth Billions to Russia.  Millions were given from Gulf State governments for favors from our State Department.

The Foundation is not a charitable foundation, but a washing machine extracting so called clean money from the dirty money tied to favors. Remember, “The Love of Money is the root of all evil”.

We now know that 66 million has been contracted for Clinton speeches and they are only waiting to get a new Clinton in the oval office and the sky is the limit.

A Gun pointed at your head

1 Comment

Blog 84 theknockerblog.com

                                           A Gun pointed at your head

Obama Care and many federal programs start with grand ideals and end up as a gun pointed at the heads of the American people. The gun is taxation and threats of fines, demonization and jail time for those who fail to pay or go along with the programs.

The 10th amendment States that Powers not granted to the federal government nor prohibited to it by the States are reserved to the states or the people.”

My Question is when and how did we the people grant the feds with the power to take control of healthcare, welfare, education, the environment and the very idea of federal supremacy over laws and issues not specifically granted the federal government by the Constitution of the United States. Was there some kind of Kabuki dance by our elected officials to override the 10th amendment?

“He has erected a Multitude of new offices, and sent hither Swarms of new Officers to harass our people, and eat out their Substances”(Declaration of independence par. 12)

It now seems that what King George did; We are now doing to ourselves.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, (Declaration of independence par. 2)

When the choice of our leaders comes down to a choice between someone that respects the constitution and one that believes that the constitution is an obstacle to the tyrannical rule she desires. One who has promised to appoint judges that would water down the safeguard of our liberty guaranteed in the constitution.

The choice is clear

Blog 83 theknockerblog.com The Vast Left wing conspiracy

Leave a comment

Hillary Clinton clamed a right wing conspiracy. The evidence shows there is a leftwing conspiracy between President, FBI, State, News media, IRS

What is Conspiracy?.

“If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

If, however, the offense, the commission of which is the object of the conspiracy, is a misdemeanor only, the punishment for such conspiracy shall not exceed the maximum punishment provided for such misdemeanor.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 701; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)”

What was done?

E- Mails deemed to be the property of the People of the United States, and were required by laws of the United States to be preserved, and Were Under subpoena by the United States congress, were destroyed in an effort to affect the election chances of a political candidate for the office of the presidency of the United States. An Electronic Server Used for official business of the United States and therefor the property of the people of the United States was altered and destroyed without cause by members of the conspiracy. Blackberries and Phones used to conduct official business of the United states and therefor property of the united States were destroyed by conspirators.

Who has done this thing?

The currant sitting President of the United States of America Barrack Obama

A candidate for the office of the presidency of the United Stated Hillary Rodham Clinton

William Jefferson Clinton Husband of the candidate

Attorney General Loretta Lynch FBI Director James Comey

Various staff members of the FBI and DOJ

Various Ranking members of the congress of the United States

Various Staff members of the Clinton Campaign Various Staff members of the State Department

Various Members of the News Media

It Is Apparent to this observer that all or most of the players mentioned above did

“act to effect the object of the conspiracy”

Why did they do it?

To enhance the chances of a political candidate to win an election

What is the solution

The solution Seems Quite Simple Since we as a People cannot trust our elected officials to conduct themselves according to the established law and will in fact corrupt the policing arms of the government i.e. DOJ, FBI, IRS We have to do something to keep politics out of these vital institutions of our government

One more elected office.

I propose an Office of special council, attached to the Supreme Court and branch of the FBI dedicated to special investigations be created. It’s purpose, to Investigate government corruption, and funded by National Sir Tax of some type Its Pay scale set at 100% parity to the office of presidency to  avoid mischief by the congress.

This would have to be a non-partisan position. The applicants and staff must be barred from accepting or donating money to any political office. The candidates must be required to debate on national TV and radio for the job. The term should be two years limited to two terms.

Just my thought

theknockerblog.com Blog 79 In my 30 years in police work I noticed that there is also an over emphasis in many poor black households on “the MAN” Every Ill is blamed on “the Man” This goes on in white homes also but not to the extent that it does in the minority community. The police are wrongly identified as “the man” They should be Identifying “the Man” As their local politicians. There is a need to look in the Mirror for the ones responsible. Politicians are like parents that faced with evidence to the contrary, choose to deny reality; they take the attitude that their child would not do “that” whatever “That is”! Patrol officers hear this all the time. Most just shrug and walk away, knowing that the destruction of the child is thoroughly underway. This is wrong, but it is less likely to generate the thing that the patrolman fears most. That thing is a letter of complaint. In the ass chewing that occurs from one of these letters the political establishment never gives any credit to the officers attempt to point out the problem with defending “Johnny”, when the evidence is that Johnny is a on the path to becoming a “dirt bag corps in an ally” (I know this is harsh reality can be that way sometimes) My Prescription is: Look in the Mirror Take personal responsibility. Apologize for the children, but hold them accountable. Elect politicians that will hold wrong doers accountable; police and civilian alike. Community policing can only be as effective as the community’s willingness to by in. No by in! No peace! I am sick of politicians in both party’s getting away with all the criminal crap they get away with. The double standard is painfully obvious. I want a change to the U.S. constitution to allow the voters to choose an independent attorney general. A non-partisan attorney general would put the fear of god back in all these parties and the politicians that run them and steal from the taxpayer. The crap Hillary pulled, and Nixon before her, are examples. People who wrongfully identify with one or the other parties are made co-conspirators. A pox on both houses and anyone that says “I’m an “R” or I’m a “D “ You are ALL co-conspirators. Just the simple thoughts of a simple man S. Henry Knocker theknockerblog.com

Blog 74 theknockerblog.com The left has a yellow streak

Leave a comment

 

I have never seen anything like this:

The lefty university administrators seem to have a yellow streak. One bad thing happens and they leave a yellow streak on the road to out of here. They seem content to stay and collect a check. They Coddle the children and strok their own egos, but as soon as something a little bit challenging pops up, they burn up their word processors typing those letters of resignation.

When kids act up I tend to ask, who’s the adult, and who’s the kid?

I have always said that diversity of opinion is a goal in life. If we all think alike some of us are not necessary. This conundrum seems to be what the left has created and is fostering on college campuses’ a one world view. Saul Alinsky rules their world. Thinking themselves wise they have become fools. Where have I heard that before? McCarthyism in the 1930s and now a new “ism” to name in this millennium. OUR Universities are far too important of institutions to be allowed to be used as the incubators of civil war.

These White feathers who light the fuse and run like hell thinking no one notices better think twice. I see it, and I am going to point it out.

Whaling about white privilege, when you are the privileged, is disgusting. Privilege lectures from the privileged goes down like drinking battery acid to a guy who grew up with your parents whispering about me because I had holes in the knees of my pants, before that became fashionable.

Go read the Star Bellied Sneetches and know:  I think you all FOOLS!
