…”[Officer] Hazeltine was shot in an “apparent ambush” Thursday (April 16) around 8:30 a.m. while directing traffic in a Paradis school zone”…

…”Other deputies were in the area and responded to the shooting, Champagne said. They took the man, whose name has not been released, into custody after a “tussle.””…

(New Orleans) A St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s deputy was shot three times Thursday morning, with one bullet penetrating his lung, authorities said. He is in stable but guarded condition at LSU Interim Hospital in New Orleans.

Sheriff Greg Champagne identified the injured deputy as Burt Hazeltine, a “solid deputy” and corporal in the traffic division who has been with the department for 12 to 15 years.

Champagne addressed reporters around 11:15 a.m. outside the ER entrance of the hospital. He said Hazeltine is in his late 30s and is married with four young children.

Hazeltine was shot in an “apparent ambush” Thursday (April 16) around 8:30 a.m. while directing traffic in a Paradis school zone, the Sheriff’s Office said. He was rushed to the hospital in New Orleans and taken into surgery.

Champagne said the deputy was shot in the face near his left eye, in his left elbow and in the right side of his chest. The bullet in his chest penetrated a lung. In addition, he has bleeding in his chest and a bullet lodged behind his eye, raising questions whether he will lose sight in it. (more…)

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) – The Rev. Jesse Jackson was in downtown Charleston Thursday evening where he said a special prosecutor was needed in the Walter Scott shooting case.

Jackson spoke at the International Longshoremen’s Association Hall on Morrison Drive for a prayer rally.

During the rally, Jackson also called for more body cameras for law enforcement and called Scott’s death a wake up call for the nation.

“The Walter Scott killing has captured the world because it was covered by the camera,” Jackson said before taking the stage.”Without the camera, the killer lied and his co-conspirators, the other police, would have covered it up as well.”

We said last week – in retrospect the Walter Scott Scheme Team 2015′ would regret hiring image consultant Ryan Julison to represent their interests and develop their chosen narrative. As research continues this opinion solidifies.

Ryan Julison (w/ Matt Lauer) left – Attorney Mark Peper, right

After we identified Walter Scott’s passenger as Pierre Fulton, the image consultants needed to quickly work up a salable story. Ergo the hiring of another attorney, now image consultant, Mark Peper to frame the Fulton angle.  Does anyone ever think to ask who’s paying for all these attorneys?  I digress…

However, Ryan needs to spend a little more time training the side players because apparently Mr. Peper has yet to learn the art of nuance, or subtlety, in narrative construction.

Attorney Peper’s latest attempt to frame the optics for his client, Walter Scott passenger Pierre Fulton, is to claim both Fulton and Scott had just finished volunteering at a local church that morning.  This would be prior to being pulled over at 9:30am by North Charleston Police Officer Michael Slager.  After breakfast at Hardees, they headed to church for their Saturday Morning volunteer efforts.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Walter Scott and Pierre Fulton handed out bags of food at a local church Saturday morning and were on their way to a cookout at Scott’s house when they saw an officer’s blue lights behind them, Fulton’s attorney told ABC News Monday night. (link)

Apparently, sewing sweaters for homeless kittens from locks of their altruistic hair was a bridge too far. Hence they settled on the more general church volunteer efforts.

Gotcha. (more…)

MEMPHIS, Tenn — Wednesday Memphis Police arrested a student who was caught on camera attacking a man at a local BP station.

Joe Brittman, 19, was just one of the people who attacked Orrden Williams as he was helping a woman to her car.

Brittman was arrested at Northwest Prep Academy and charged with aggravated riot, simple assault and vandalism. (read more)

The Scheme Team is working overtime now to keep attention away from Walter Scott aspects that would deconstruct their narrative.

EARLIER: “Walter was a dear friend, and I miss him every day,” [Pierre Fulton] stated in a release from Charleston attorney Mark Peper. “Over the past five years, he helped me to become a better man and showed me the value of hard work. I’ll never know why he ran, but I know he didn’t deserve to die. Please keep Walter and his family in your prayers and respect my privacy moving forward.”

Peper said in the release that it will be the only statement his client makes before any court proceeding. (link)

Well, “the only statement” UNLESS the sketchy stuff comes out which might work against our scripted narrative. If the sketchy stuff comes out, well, then we’ll just have to sell some ‘nuther stuff. Like: (more…)

Police arrested a man who steered his tiny, one-person helicopter onto the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, astonishing spring tourists and prompting a temporary lockdown of the Capitol Visitor Center.

It appears the 61-year-old pilot was carrying out a stunt to draw attention to Campaign Finance Reform. He had planned the event for two years and even made a video – SEE HERE – (also below) about his endeavors….. “Hey Mike, watch this”

FLORIDA – […] And just hours before Hughes landed in Washington, Hughes’ friend said he called a Secret Service agent to notify him of the possibility of the gyrocopter flight.

“He’s not a suicide bomber, he’s a patriot,” said Shanahan, 65, of Apollo Beach. The whole stunt centers around Hughes’ effort to change campaign finance laws, “or the lack thereof,” according to Shanahan. (more…)

Our suspicions are slowly confirming.   The South Carolina political machine is working diligently now to protect themselves from a volatile situation they have created.

Grande Lum is the head of the Federal DOJ Community Relations Service.  As readers here are familiar, he is an Obama-like ideologue but he is also no dummy.  There is no doubt Lum has already recognized the dangerous position created by the South Carolina political machine who control SLED.

In our estimation the politicians in South Carolina have created an unrealistic public expectation in the Michael Slager case with an arrest for murder and no hope of achieving a conviction of that charge in court.

The primary mission of the State Law Enforcement Division [SLED] is to provide quality manpower and technical assistance to law enforcement agencies and to conduct investigations on behalf of the state as directed by the Governor and Attorney General.  (link)

It became obvious to us when we saw the 4/6/15 Arrest Warrant for “Murder” filed by SLED, a political entity reporting to the attorney General and Governor’s office, the SC political machine was setting expectations incredibly high based on highly dubious information.

In essence they reacted out of fear to the Walter Scott witness video without even interviewing the eye-witness before they filed charges.  Their reaction most likely based on an attempt to stop a Ferguson-like uproar, but they simply went too far. (more…)

Some folks might want to consider exiting the eastern part of South Carolina prior to Memorial Day weekend this year…

(South Carolina) “This is much bigger than Walter Scott, but this is the last straw,” [Malik] Shabazz said. “This is the last straw, listen to me well and understand why we have traveled here and why we will remain here. Mr. President, you have a problem that has gotten out of control.

“We’re not going to be hunted down like deer and hunted down like dogs and sit here crying and whining — we’d rather die and have somebody else in self-defense die than take this kind of abuse in the hells of North America, do you understand?”

Shabazz shot down any criticism that he may be making “too much” out of Scott’s death by asking anyone to show him where in America “white men are dropping like flies.” (more…)

The City of Brotherly Love

Philadelphia – It led to the arrest of two women: the boy’s mother, Aleathea Gillard and her neighbor, Sharina Joachim, who both have been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and related offenses, police said.

It started Tuesday afternoon, when Gillard confronted her 10-year-old son, police sources said. She wanted to know where he had been. He said that, en route to his house, on Wellens Avenue near 5th Street in Olney, he had stopped at the nearby Sunoco gas station at 5th Street near Tabor Road. There, the boy said, he tried to earn some extra cash by offering to pump customers’ gas, according to Lt. Dan Brooks, of Northwest Detectives. (more…)
