A criminal convicted of a double murder is scheduled for execution in Montana. The case is held up in court while death penalty opponents try and get the lethal injection declared unconstitutional. Police unions and other police organizations need to work harder to insure the death penalty is implemented. Too often police unions endorse big government Democrats who don't believe in the death penalty. This criminal is a double murderer. He does not deserve to live, he has taken the lives of two innocent people.
The lawyers and judges have tied up the death penalty in the United States for decades. We have 20,000 murders a year and in a good year we execute a dozen murderers. We should be executing a few thousand criminals per year for the death penalty to have any deterrent effect. Once society shows that murder will not be tolerated, then there will be fewer murders.
There are dozens of police feloniously killed every year and how many of their killers are executed? Virtually none. The Onion Field killer just died of old age in California. He should have been executed within a couple years after he was convicted. Police need to speak up and tell our elected officials that they need to execute cop killers and other murderer; that's what the SGT Says.

The retired chief of police of Thompkinsville, KY was murdered in his driveway. The suspect was a former inmate that was sent to jail by the chief years ago. The suspect did this as a drive by shooting. This shows that police need to keep a weapon and police mindset even after retirement. This shows how important concealed carry is to former and retired officers.
Recently in Philidelphia an off duty officer was murdered while walking home after work. Officers need to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Certainly anyone can be a victim of crime, even police. But police have an extra set of worries. Some criminal organizations want members to kill or assault police as a rite of passage or as a way to increase their status.
Police have an even more dangerous concern. Individual criminals who may want to do us harm. They might want to prevent us from testifying or investigating a case. An individual criminal may target your agency or even specific officers for revenge for previous police activity. Just because you are off duty, does not mean you are out of danger; that's what the SGT Says.

This five minute video shows why gun control for the purpose of stopping criminals from having guns is pointless. There are photos of guns that were manufactured at home. While several of these I recognize as modifications to commercial guns the majority of them seem to be home made. That is, they are made at peoples homes, in small machine shops or in some cases, even made in prison by the inmates. No serial number, no ability to trace them, no record of purchase, often not even rifling to leave marks on the bullet to tie the bullet to the gun.
If prison inmates can make guns, then almost anyone can make them. Criminals only need a gun that will fire a couple shots. They make a threat to a shop owner and run out with the cash does not even require a functioning gun in most instances. Many of these guns fired a single shotgun shell and appear as if the recoil would be tremendous. Imagine facing one of these single shot shotgun pistols on a traffic stop. The suspect reaches into the center console, glove compartment or under the seat and comes up with this weapon. It would be devastating at close range. I would also be an excellent close range murder weapon to use against rival gangsters.
The other thing to see is how many used a .22 caliber round. These would have very little recoil, would be very quiet and are very small. The other group seemed to be mostly a 9mm size sub machine gun looking weapon. A small machine pistol with 20 or 30 round magazine that can be easily hidden in a coat or briefcase could be employed and spray a room full of people in seconds. Gun control does not disarm the criminals, they will make guns at home if they have too, that's what the SGT Says.

Police: Michael Smeriglio accidentally shoots off his penis and testicle; friend arrested on drug charge | wtsp.com
A man purchased a gun a month ago. He took it home and eventually decided to clean the gun. He then accidentally shot himself in the penis and testicle. One of the first rules of firearms safety is to treat all guns as if they are always loaded. That means you need to only point it in a safe direction, which is another one of the basic rules.
The police responded and he told them a lie; he said he was a shooting victim. The police investigated further and eventually determined that he was lying and they learned the truth about the incident. This is an important reminder to officers, always take the victim statement and compare what he says to the physical evidence. Victims often lie about the circumstances to save embarrassment, defraud their insurance company or otherwise hide or distort their stories. Sometimes they simply forget or unintentionally confuse the story.
During the investigation the responding officers kept their eyes open. They were where they were lawfully permitted to be. They saw that the roommate of the suspect had drugs in his home. As a result they were able to arrest the roommate. The officers in this case did a very good job; that's what the SGT Says.

Safe Gun Handling

Deputy Shot With Own Gun at Berks Co. Courthouse | NBC 10 Philadelphia An agency started using new holsters. Some of the deputies wondered if the guns could be fired while they were still in the holster, as if a suspect was trying to take away the gun. They got the answer when one of the deputies reached for his partners gun and shot his partner in the leg. The agency may want to consider new holsters and better training. A new holster should be treated like a very important piece of equipment because it is important. New holsters being issued to officers need to be practiced with and broken in. New holster designs being issued to a department need new training. Agencies should not assume that officers will fully understand the benefits and drawbacks of a new holster. It should be explained to them and they should practice dry firing on the range and then live firing on the range until they are proficient with the new design. These officers also bear some responsibility too. Training with loaded weapons is a potentially deadly mistake. I almost never use real guns to train anymore unless I am on the range, even then I use red guns to demonstrate as often as I can to avoid shooting someone with an unloaded gun. This officer is lucky to be alive; that's what the SGT Says.

South Carolina Pharmaceutical Distribution Company Pleads Guilty in Multi-Million Dollar Scheme to Purchase and Sell Drugs in the Grey Market
To contact us Click HERE
The Department of Justice announced theguilty plea and sentencing of Easley, S.C.-based Altec Medical for engaging ina multi-million dollar prescription drug scheme. Altec Medical pleaded guilty in U.S. DistrictCourt in Miami to one count of conspiring to defraud the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration (FDA) and to commit federal offenses in connection with adrug-diversion scheme that lasted from 2007 to 2009.
In the sentencing, U.S. District Judge RobertN. Scola, Jr. ordered Altec to pay a $2 million fine and to forfeit $1 million.The judge also ordered the company to be on probation for one year.
In a criminal information filed with thecourt, the government charged that Altec paid its supplier and co-conspiratorWilliam D. Rodriguez, approximately $55 million for prescription drugs that itknew had been diverted from lawful channels of drug wholesaledistribution. “Drug Diversion” refersto various ways in which prescription drugs are removed from lawful channels ofdistribution and then reintroduced into the marketplace for sale to consumers.In drug diversion schemes, prescription drugs at issue are often stolen fromwarehouses or cargo trucks; torn from boxes of free samples, repackaged andresold; or bought from individual patients looking to make extra money.
“Drug diversion undermines the safety andeffectiveness of our prescription drug system,” said Stuart F. Delery, ActingAssistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “When individuals divert drugs from lawfulchannels, we cannot be sure that the drugs are properly handled andstored. As a result, diverted drugscould be expired, become contaminated, or have their mechanisms of actionaltered. Diversion is a serious crimethat puts consumers at risk; we will continue to prosecute those who engage init aggressively.”
The Justice Department advises consumers whohave concerns about a drug to check the lot numbers on the manufacturer’s website to see if there are any warnings about it.
Accordingto a plea agreement that was filed with the court, Altec became aware thatRodriguez had bought these drugs from individuals who had acquired themillegally and who were not properly licensed to sell prescription drugs on awholesale basis. The government furthercharged that Altec and Rodriguez orchestrated the reentry of these drugs intothe lawful channels of distribution. According to the government, Rodriguezfirst sent the diverted drugs to companies he controlled in South Carolina. His companies, in turn, resold the drugs toAltec, which, in turn, resold the drugs to various purchasers throughout theUnited States, including drug distributors with valid drug distributionlicenses. This process caused reentryof the diverted drugs into the ordinary, lawful channels of distribution. Eventually, the diverted drugs were boughtby retail pharmacies, which dispensed the drugs by filling prescriptions forindividual consumers.
Finally, the government charged that Altec andRodriguez attempted to conceal their scheme by falsifying a variety of businessrecords. In particular, Altec andRodriguez falsified documents known as “drug pedigrees.” Drug pedigrees are statements required bythe FDA of all those who sell wholesale quantities of prescription drugs. Thedrug pedigrees are supposed to accurately identify all prior sales andtransactions so that it is clear that the drugs have been acquired lawfully,and properly stored and held along the way. Despite knowing that the lawrequired accurate pedigrees, Altec admitted that it created pedigrees thatfalsified prior transactions to make it appear as though the drugs hadoriginally been acquired lawfully.
Use of diverted drugs can cause unpredictableadverse side effects and may fail to treat the condition for which a consumeris taking the drugs. According to the government, neither purchasers who boughtfrom Altec nor consumers who later bought the drugs at retail pharmacies wouldhave purchased the drugs had they known that the drugs had been diverted.
In June 2012, in U.S. District Court inMiami, Rodriguez pleaded guilty to conspiracy and money laundering in aseparate case charging him with, among other things, his role in this drugdiversion scheme. He has not yet been sentenced.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S.Attorney Jon M. Juenger, of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the SouthernDistrict of Florida, and David A. Frank, of the Justice Department’s ConsumerProtection Branch. Additionalassistance was provided by Joshua Eizen, of the FDA’s Office of Chief Counselfor Enforcement.
