Self Defense: Pizza Delivery Drivers Arm Themselves Adan Salazar Infowars.com February 3, 2014
Drivers take their lives into their own hands Pizza delivery drivers in Indiana have a new appreciation for the Second Amendment after a spate of crimes left two of their colleagues dead. Drivers for Aunt Polly’s Pizza, a pizza joint in southeast Indianapolis, are warning crooks they might be packing more than hot pies during drop offs. “I’ve got a lifetime permit and I carry,” Polly’s employee Bill Bruton told CBS affiliate WISH. He is one of many drivers who are on high alert after two of their colleagues were shot and killed in the line of duty in the past two weeks alone. For Aunt Polly’s manager Jeff White, driver safety comes first. “As long as they have gun permits,” says White, speaking about his policy allowing workers to defend themselves with lethal means if necessary. A spokesman for Pizza Hut says they’re taking the issue “real seriously,” but so far the chain hasn’t officially stated its team members are allowed to carry. Pizza Hut did say, however, that it has “coached” employees on driver safety, and “won’t send somebody to an unknown location out of public view.” It is also encouraging customers to help keep drivers safe by leaving porch lights on and giving accurate call-back numbers. For Bruton, carrying a gun on the job just makes sense. “It just kind of helps you even the odds up a little bit,” Bruton said, adding that, regardless, “You’ve got to be ultra vigilant.” Article 1, Section 32 of the Indiana State Constitution further reaffirms the Second Amendment. It indicates, “The people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State.”
One thing is certain: drivers taking steps to protect themselves “just in case” will be better prepared to confront potential dangers than those who don’t. Keeping pizza delivery drivers safe VIDEO BELOW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewEFaTI8w0Q
How Many People Are Killed By Police In U.S.? Who Knows? allgov.com February 3, 2014
Here’s a pitch for a procedural: Cops track down the number of police shootings in the United States in a given year. Why should that require any detective work? It’s that there are currently no national statistics on how many people are shot by police each year. In some areas, such as Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia and Massachusetts, police shootings have increased, according to a report in Salon. Whether those numbers can be extrapolated to a national trend is not known though. Police departments are not required to release data on how many civilians are shot by officers each year and many don’t. Some observers believe that there are more police shootings than there had been five or 10 years ago. Those who want to hold police accountable are stymied by the lack of nationwide statistics on the issue. So, we’re left to try to find the information on our own. Jim Fisher tried in 2012. According to his True Crime blog, in 2011, 1,146 people were shot by police, with 607 killed. To come up with those numbers, Fisher scoured the Internet for data about every shooting that year. But that system is not comprehensive. What statistics there are do show that police shootings often involve racial minorities, those with mental illnesses and sometimes victims who fall into both categories. For instance, there were 57
police shootings in Chicago in 2012, according to the city. Fifty of those shot were AfricanAmerican. A review of police shootings in Maine by the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram showed that between 2000 and 2012, 57 people were shot by police in Maine. Of those, at least 24 of the shootings involved victims with mental health issues. Police shootings may be on the rise because of state laws that empower more firearm use by citizens. Indiana passed a law in 2012 that allowed people to use deadly force against public servants, including law enforcement officers, who illegally enter their homes. Of course, police have no way of knowing whether the occupant of a home thinks the authorities are there legally, so some officers are nervous. “It’s just a recipe for disaster,” Indiana State Fraternal Order of Police president Tim Downs told Bloomberg News. “It just puts a bounty on our heads.”
Police Fail To Stop Violent Attack Just Outside Police Station Kit Daniels Infowars.com February 3, 2014
Gun control myth is destroyed as police officers cannot stop violence outside their own headquarters Three men were brutally attacked by at least six others on Friday night despite being only blocks away from the Austin, Texas Police Department in yet another assault which debunks the myth that police can prevent violence better than armed individuals. Even though the attack occurred at the intersection of East Sixth St. and Interstate 35, which is at most two blocks away from police headquarters, officers did not arrive at the scene until after the fighting ended and the crowd dispersed. The police’s slow response time is even more troubling considering that the intersection is a well-known hot spot for
violent crime. After a video of the attack went viral, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo scheduled a town hall meeting in the middle of February to discuss the incident. “Nice response, a town hall meeting in two weeks because you can’t stop crime two blocks from your headquarters,” Austin resident Joe Hafkey wrote on Twitter in response to Acevedo’s announcement. “Similar response time as APD.” He added that four of his friends were also severely attacked at the same location in the past two years. Another resident, Chris Cubas, also had friends violently assaulted near the police station. “This isn’t the first time it has happened [fighting] in that spot just to people I know,” he wrote on Twitter. “How are people supposed to have confidence?” Chris Crowley, who works across the street from the police dept., pointed out that the violence occurring in the area is routine. “I’ve been followed to my car multiple times,” he said according to My Fox Austin. “My brother was stabbed on that bridge right across from the police station twice on New Year’s Eve.” This incident is a great example of why Americans are always better off protecting themselves with firearms and other methods of self-defense instead of relying on police officers who do not even have a duty to protect individuals according to Warren v. District of Columbia. The mere sight of a drawn handgun, for example, is usually enough to stop an aggressor from committing a crime. In such instances, violence is prevented. Besides, police are always minutes away when seconds matter, even if they’re only two blocks away as the three victims experienced on Friday. Yet gun control advocates constantly claim that individuals do not need to be armed because the police can protect them, but as these Austin residents revealed, the police can never be found in the highcrime area surrounding their headquarters. Individuals must always be the primary defenders of their lives. An able-bodied person relying and depending on anyone else for safety is acting as a slave.
