A Kentucky man is suing the police, claiming he was arrested in retaliation for shouting at a group of officers from an apartment balcony. In a complaint filed last month, Brandon Rettig alleges that he was arrested on bogus public intoxication charges after he angered the officers, who violated his First and Fourth Amendment rights.
According to the lawsuit, on June 8, 2024, Brandon Rettig was at his girlfriend's apartment in Newport, Kentucky, when a team of police officers responded to an unrelated incident outside the building. From the balcony, Rettig shouted at the officers. In a later interview, Rettig claimed to have shouted "go get 'em boys" at the officers. The lawsuit insists that while the officers were angered by the comments, "Rettig did not utter fighting words or threatened to harm anyone."
The suit claims that soon after Rettig made the comments, Officer Ronald Lalumandier shouted up to him, "Keep it up, I'll take your ass to jail," adding "I got keys to your apartment." Three police officers, including Lalumandier, then entered the apartment building using a key card, which Lalumandier had access to as a former tenant.
According to body camera footage, the three officers confronted Rettig in the hallway of the apartment building and arrested him after a short argument.

Hey Bug, any chance of bringing the gavel gif back?![]()
I looked around this morning. No luck. I don't have it on any of my current computers or local back up drives. I would have to dig out my old computers and hook them up to check them and that's way too much work.Yeah - *if* I can find it.![]()
Older story, but WOW.
In 2011, then-Mayor Eddie Espinoza, Columbus Police Chief Angelo Vega, and a board trustee were accused of smuggling over 200 guns across the border to Mexican Cartels. ATF investigators even noted the guns were used for murders in Mexico. Learn more about the fallout of the gun smuggling ring and where the culprits are now.

I imagine whenever the dems get back in office, they'll reclassify the FRT as a machine gun again, also classify guns equipped with pistol braces as SBR's and raise the tax on silencers, SBR's, etc. up to around $10K. Better get your stuff before Jan 2027 cause the jack booted thugs at the alphabet agencies haven't met a Constitutionally protected right they don't love to stomp all over.
