Disturbing Video Shows Cop Walk Up to Family, Shoot Their Happy Puppy as it Wagged His Tail
An utterly disturbing and outright infuriating video was released this week as part of a family’s lawsuit against the now-infamous Loveland police department. In the video, we see the cowardice of officer Matthew Grashorn on display as he shoots a 14-month old puppy in the face and body as it happily walked up to greet him.
The family is now suing after their complaints to the department fell on deaf ears and they were essentially ignored for over two years. The shooting took place on June 29, 2019 and the family has been seeking justice for their mixed boxer puppy “Herkimer” ever since.
On that fateful day, Wendy Love and Jay Hamm were running their firewood delivery company when they pulled over in a vacant parking lot to repair a box they use for the firewood. The owner of the building saw them on security cameras and thought they may be trying to use his dumpster, so he called 911 to have cops investigate.
When police asked the building owner if the family was near or had been near the dumpster, the business owner said, “no,” according to the lawsuit. No crimes had been committed yet the officer responded as if he had arrived to a hostage situation.
“It was an ambush, and Grashorn knew it. He didn’t care,” the suit says. “He suspected that they were poor and wanted to surprise them, to see if they were up to anything he might be able to get an arrest for.”
As Grashorn walked up to the family, he never announced himself but Herkimer, who, according to the suit is a happy dog who had never bitten anyone, trotted up to greet the officer. Unfortunately, however, Grashorn is a coward and instead of petting the dog, Grashorn shot it.
As Wendy approaches the officer crying in horror, Grashorn refuses to let her near her dog to help him.
During this, Hamm yelled at Grashorn, asking him why he had shot a “clearly friendly dog,” according to the suit. Grashorn responded that he had “no way of knowing” whether Herkimer was friendly, that he “wasn’t in the business to get bit” and he had no interest in “waiting to find out” if the dog was friendly.
In other words, he’s a coward who shoots first and asks questions later.

US cops served over 20,000 ‘invasive’ geofence warrants targeting users by location data in last 3 years, Google report shows
Google has revealed that over a quarter of all data request warrants it gets from US authorities involve identifying people by location history. These orders, which pinpoint devices near a crime scene, have been called “invasive.”
The so-called ‘geofence warrants’ allow law enforcement agencies to specify area and timeframe and have the tech giant gather information, including names and other details, about persons of interest in that window – from location information recorded by apps and services like Google Maps.
As part of its latest transparency report, the tech giant on Thursday revealed that it received more than 20,000 geofence warrants in the US between 2018 and 2020. It was the first time Google disclosed the volume of these controversial requests, having resisted demands to do so in the past.
Noting that these warrants are only “one subcategory” of the search warrant requests the company gets, Google noted it had “seen a rise” in the number of warrants ordering it to identify users by location info since 2018. That year, it received 982 geofence warrants, and the figure spiked to 11,554 in 2020.
As well, the vast majority of such warrants – to the tune of nearly 96% – are obtained by local and state law enforcement bodies, while federal agencies account for the remainder. Authorities in California made the most information requests between the years specified in the report.
Australian Insanity: New South Wales Requires Registration for Someone to Have a Visitor Over
New South Wales, a state in southeastern Australia, is requiring certain people who live alone and want to invite a visitor over to first register with the government.
On Monday the New South Wales health department announced in a tweet that single people living in a “local government area of concern” are allowed to have only one “COVID-19 nominated visitor,” also known as a “bubble buddy.” Both the resident and the visitor must register online.
“A nominated visitor is someone you can socialize with at your place of residence who: can only be one person, can visit you on more than one occasion, is not a nominated visitor for another person, and lives in or is staying within 5km of your home,” the registration page says.
Parents Furious as Teens Forced to Wear COVID Ankle Monitors Warning Others to Stay Back
For the past year and a half, those of us who have felt the pandemic was being used as a tool to manipulate people have been labeled conspiracy theorists by the establishment media and leftist elites.
As time goes on, more evidence emerges that seems to suggest we were right all along.
According to the Post Millennial, students at Eatonville High School in Washington were forced to wear ankle monitors in order to participate in athletics.
An anonymous mother who spoke to the outlet said she received a text from her 15-year-old daughter saying she was asked to wear a monitor at a school volleyball practice.
When her daughter did not answer her subsequent texts and calls and no one at the school was able to answer her questions, the mother eventually drove to the school’s campus.
Vaccine mandates may herald the end of the republic
COVID-19 may end up destroying everything. Everything. Including our way of life. And our prosperity. Or, more accurately stated, the elites’ reaction to the virus may do what no previous enemy, foreign or domestic, has ever come close to doing. It is inarguable that without the coronavirus pandemic, Joe Biden would not be president today. And he and his puppet masters are well on their way to destroying America’s work ethic, social fabric, economy, military, and global respect.
And now Biden is pressing employers to enact mask mandates, making one’s vaccination status a condition of employment. It is illegal for an employer to ask a prospective employee about his race, age, sexual preference, or other medical history, but dammit, they can say, “Show us proof that you’ve had ‘The Jab’ or take a hike.”
The highest unemployment rate in U.S. history was 24.9 percent in 1933, at the height of the Great Depression. Broad-based government-backed employer vaccine mandates would effectively mean that as many as 30 to 35 percent of us will essentially be told we can’t have a job. Do we starve, surrender our homes, or go on unemployment and various other forms of government assistance?
What if the government decides that we won’t be allowed to collect unemployment or any other form of assistance if we are not fully vaccinated?
In this one instance, and one instance only, I could see the administration saying it wouldn’t be fair to make taxpayers have to fund benefits…for The Unvaccinated. It would be the government’s very policies that created this massive group of unemployed and their subsequent need for assistance, but no one would be allowed to mention this with impunity. We are also in the throes of a pandemic of lies, obfuscation, and authoritarianism.
To say this does not bode well for the American economy, as well as the unvaccinated, would be an understatement. Even if additional assistance were not paid out, the burden on remaining taxpayers would be greatly increased. And the already historic labor shortage would be greatly exacerbated, most devastatingly so in the health care industry, ironically.
The fact that the unvaccinated are quickly being banned from restaurants, concert halls, sports venues, retail stores, theme parks, etc. necessarily means a substantial drop in revenue for these venues as well. Many businesses will have no alternative other than to close permanently. That means more unemployed people. Which…well, you get the idea.
We now even have the specter of people needing critical or life-saving surgery being told they must submit to becoming fully vaccinated before they will be accommodated.
The powers that be care so much about our health that they are basically telling us to “eff off” and die unless we agree to be vaccinated. One gets the distinct impression that our rulers would love to deport all of us MAGA-wearing unvaccinated types and replace us with refugees from any place that has no history or concept of individual liberty and the rule of law.
US Surgeon General says there’s “not nearly enough” social media censorship
Dr. Vivek Murthy, the US Surgeon General, criticized social media platforms for not doing enough to stop the spread of “misinformation” online.
“The speed, scale and sophistication with which it is spreading and impacting our health is really unprecedented,” Murthy said during an interview on CNN’s State of the Union. “And it’s happening largely, in part, aided and abetted by social-media platforms.”
The Surgeon General did acknowledge that these platforms were already working to censor but said what they are doing is “not nearly enough.”
“There are people who are super-spreaders of misinformation,” he said. “And there are algorithms, still, which continue to serve up more and more misinformation to people who encounter it the first time. These are things that companies can and must change. And I think they have a moral responsibility to do so quickly and transparently.”
Murthy’s remarks came shortly after Facebook released its “content transparency report,” revealing the most viewed content.
Despite Majority of US Calling for End to Qualified Immunity, Feds Tell Americans It’s Here to Stay
Last year marked a turning point in American policing after the death of George Floyd. Though Floyd’s death at the hands of police was hardly unique, it was not in vain, as it proved to be the iconic moment Americans were waiting for to push back against the massive police state that has been constructed around them. Multiple states and counties across the country took action to curb the problem of excessive force in the ranks of their police departments by ending qualified immunity for cops. But short of sweeping change inside the federal government, meaningful national reform remains stagnant.
After massive proposals from Congressman Justin Amash and Senator Rand Paul who wanted to end qualified immunity and no knock warrants respectively, were largely ignored by the masses — mostly due to the fact that Amash and Paul lean Right — the left came in and promised to fix things. But, once again, actual change is off the table.
It was reported this week by Politico that lawmakers behind police reform negotiations — Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) — are no longer considering changes to the problem with qualified immunity. Although disappointing, this should come as no surprise given the fact that the DNC nominated the “Queen of the police state” Kamala Harris for Vice President. But it certainly flies in the face of what We the People are demanding.
Last year, a poll from the Pew Research Center found that the majority of Americans support removing qualified immunity for cops. And it is obvious as to why they do.
Under the doctrine of qualified immunity any government official who violates your constitutional rights is shielded from civil action. This heavily flawed legal loophole has emboldened bad cops to unleash horrific violence and corruption on the American public without fear of being sued.
