Opinion

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- In late December, members of the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Workplace and Indian Police Division SWAT group declare in a press release posted on Facebook that an “armed suspect” current the potential for a hostage scenario” mixed with “unsuccessful makes an attempt to make contact with the alleged shooter” resulted within the “suspected shooter” being shot after he “engaged in a verbal altercation with officers and emerged from a camper trailer and confronted officers.”

“Jason Harley Kloepfer, age 41, of 1790 Higher Bear Paw Street, Murphy, NC has been charged with Speaking Threats and Resist, Impede, and Delay,” the discharge continues. “The matter stays beneath investigation and extra expenses could comply with.”

“Cherokee County Sheriff’s Workplace restricted who can touch upon this publish,” a Fb discover provides.

An unquestioning media dutifully parrots the division’s story.

“SWAT group members shoot man who confronted officers in Murphy, NC, sheriff says. A person from Murphy, North Carolina is now recovering in a Chattanooga hospital after SWAT group members had been compelled to shoot him after he confronted officers, in keeping with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Workplace,” ABC 13 News “reported.”

“The sheriff’s workplace says Kloepfer ultimately got here exterior and confronted officers, forcing them to shoot the suspect,” Local 3 News mirrors.

‘Fetch Your News’ skipped with the rewrite and simply posted the sheriff’s press launch.

“If anybody has any details about this incident please contact the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Workplace Investigation’s Division at 828 837-2589,” the Sheriff’s Workplace Fb publish ends.

Right here’s some info:

A video from a digital camera inside Kloepfer’s trailer recorded your complete incident.

Beginning with him and his feminine companion being roused from slumber by a distant management digital camera robotic positioned inside by police attempting to scope out what was occurring inside. He doesn’t seize a gun, he lights a cigarette. He activates the within lights earlier than opening the door to see who’s exterior at midnight, making himself a goal for whoever is on the market, hardly the actions of an armed suspect making ready for a confrontation. Holding the police robotic that he picked up from his ground, and with fingers raised, he calls out to seek out out who’s there and is straight away minimize down in a hail of bullets.

Watch it for your self.  Do you see makes an attempt to speak being rebuffed by anybody however the police? Do you see a hostage? Do you see a gun held by anybody however the police? Do you see a confrontation? Do you see Kloepfer “forcing” anybody to shoot him just like the “information” is telling folks?

Or do you see a firing squad with certified immunity getting away with what you or I might be charged with tried homicide for? I’ll stipulate that I do know nothing about Kloepfer and the fees main as much as the warrant. For all I do know, he could possibly be a really unhealthy hombre, a citizen sufferer, or one thing in between. That’s not the purpose.

If they’ll do that to him, they’ll do it to you, perhaps over a pistol brace or a false “pink flag” report. And the way do you assume it could be “reported”?

Is that this the best way we would like the police to behave? Does this make you much less prone to “again the blue” and extra prone to take into account regulation enforcement the violence arm of those that would rule?

Who will you imagine, the sheriff and a watchdog media that features as lapdogs or your mendacity eyes?
