Side Note: Did you pick on this completely separate, but equally important sleight of hand?! @1:17 "...a routine DUI checkpoint..." ??? Do they mean a routine violation of my right to travel unmolested?

Here's a follow up article:

Sheriff Ingram explains what happened during checkpoint shooting

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Something went wrong at a Brunswick County checkpoint, leaving two people recovering from gunshot wounds and seven deputies on the sidelines until investigators get answers.

Four sheriff's deputies from Brunswick County have been moved to desk positions and three New Hanover County deputies are on leave after 34-year-old Antoine Graham and 42-year-old Jerry Melvin, both of Leland, were shot at a DWI checkpoint.

Brunswick Sheriff John Ingram said Monday during a news conference that everything was done by procedure. When the shooting happened, the checkpoint had just started and deputies immediately shut it down to deal with the situation at hand.

I wonder

if this young couple is going to show up at the next city council meeting, county council meeting? You want to stop this, stop the checkpoints. If politicians understand people are going to show up, preferably in mass, they'll change "procedure" or they understand they will be looking for another job.

The police are being pumped full of the crap that comes out of the fusion centers, a euphemism for the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. There's a domestic terrorist (Sovereign Citizen, Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr supporter, Gadsden Flag waving, pro-life, pro-constitution, government questioning militia member...) behind the wheel of every car. Do I wonder why police officers are on edge? I don't wonder at all.

I don't know exactly what went on that night, but I do know that police officers firing multiple rounds in a car surrounded by other cars containing innocent civilians isn't a good idea or good "procedure."


If the car was coming at them I can understand the self defense of the police. Other than that this is out of control.

I have not sen the video.


I bet they thought they could just drive through and the police

wouldn't do anything. Obviously that merits getting a clip unloaded on them, and after that it was just monkey sea monkey do for rest of the blue suited baboons. Too bad the cops didn't have more evidence to plant to cover the fiasco, they could have come out looking like heroes.

."...everything was done by procedure." Say, what?

"Four sheriff's deputies from Brunswick County have been moved to desk positions and three New Hanover County deputies are on leave."

WHERE are the "attempted murder" charges, or, at least, "reckless endangerment."

That's one reason I carry a loaded 12 gauge. The "appropriate response" would be to unload the 12 gauge into the shooters. Those badges just give someone something shiny to shoot at.

I'm not sure...

...it's working for me.

Here's a direct link to the local news channel.


Hope if works for you. It's not a video of the actual shooting, but rather an interview with someone who felt in danger of getting shot by a stray bullet.

I'm a serial entrepreneur and liberty activist from Texas!


the video works for me..

4 cops get desk jobs... classic.

the Suspects, "both are facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, assault with a deadly weapon on a government official, felony conspiracy and Graham is facing drug charges."


Was Graham sitting on Melvin's lap or vice versa?

How do they both get charged with assault with a deadly weapon (vehicle) with intent to kill?


The key word is "conspiracy" in the charges.

One they claim conspiracy in the charges, both can be charged with the crimes the other actually committed. These guys will spend the rest of their lives behind bars for a half a bag of weed and a gun. The gun is actually legal and the weed should be.

This couples biggest mistake

Was thinking these officers are professional

it's proper procedure

that be the qualifier. the procedure followed is criminal

This is the follower mechanism in action

One officer lost his shit and the first follower joined, then the rest followed. Probably within less than a couple seconds.

This mentality is dangerous, and future/other officers need to be trained.

To the Sheriff---

Then, stop making the police officers and deputies look like they came out of Afghanistan. Make them look like peace officers like they used to be.

That would be for starters...

There is a reason these Barney Fifes get one bullet in a pocket.
