“Put America first!”

Things that will get you kicked out of Trump rallies in 2026:
“Release the Epstein files!”
“No new wars!”

It’s interesting how climate change disappeared as soon as the govt decided it wanted to build all these data centers.

🚨 A judge ordered police shooting footage locked away. The owner released it anyway.

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING!!!

​In North Carolina, a State Highway Patrol trooper responded to a car break in and ended up shooting and killing two dogs, Bonnie and Clyde.

​The owner, Lydia Nikac, ge. The court finally let her and her attorney view it under one strict condition: they were legally barred from releasing or distributing it to the public.

​The reason given? Ongoing investigations and protecting the "fair and orderly administration of justice."

​Ask yourself:
​Was this restriction about protecting an investigation?

​Or was it to shield law enforcement from the public backlash of looking really bad on camera?

The backstory of this incident stems from events that took place on October 5, 2024, in Washington, North Carolina:

​A man broke into a vehicle on the property of Lydia Nikac, who is a professional dog trainer. Nikac called 911 and used her two trained Belgian Malinois dogs, Bonnie and Clyde, to help corner and detain the suspect to keep him from fleeing.

​North Carolina State Highway Patrol Trooper Justin Matt Maness arrived at the scene. According to accounts of the incident, the trooper instructed Nikac to control her dogs, but quickly opened fire, discharging multiple shots that killed both Bonnie and Clyde.

While the Highway Patrol contended that the trooper acted in self defense, witnesses and advocates argued that the dogs were running away or that the use of lethal force was entirely unjustified.

When Nikac sought accountability, she fought to obtain the dashcam and bodycam footage.

​A trial judge permitted Nikac and her attorney to view the recordings under North Carolina's strict law enforcement recording statutes, but placed a strict gag order prohibiting them from releasing or distributing the footage publicly without further court approval.

​The Appeal: Nikac’s legal team challenged the restriction on First Amendment grounds, arguing that once she possessed the footage, she should have the right to share it. However, the North Carolina Court of Appeals upheld the restriction, ruling that the trial judge acted within his legal discretion because law enforcement recordings are not automatically open public records under state law.

The bodycam footage was released anyway.

This legal clash sits at the center of ongoing debates regarding police accountability, transparency, and the strict hurdles citizens face when trying to make public evidence involving law enforcement conduct.

Two guns. One search warrant. Zero good reasons to have them.

78th Precinct Field Intelligence Officers executed a search warrant and recovered these 2 firearms, ammunition & cash.

You bring the guns… we’ll bring the warrant.
