Richard M. Bissell Jr. headed the CIA's Directorate for Plans from 1958 until President Kennedy fired him, General Charles P. Cabell and Allen Dulles after the disastrous Bay of Pigs Invasion of April 1961. Richard Bissell was the primary architect of the invasion plans. General Cabell was basically the top operational commander. Allen Dulles of course was head of the CIA. Richard M. Bissell Jr., as Director for Plans in the CIA is believed to have controlled half of the CIA’s annual budget at the time. He was known for his meticulous organizational abilities and was also known for his success in starting the U2 Spy Plane Program. The planning, funding, and logistics of the Bay of ...

A judge handed down a seemingly unprecedented 15-year sentence to a Georgia cop who perpetuated a fake war on cop by falsely claiming she'd been shot. In an unprecedented sentence, Superior Court Judge Thomas Wilson made Hall, 43, pay for her crimes. He gave her 15 years in prison followed by another 23 years on probation. “It was dumbfounding that she went to trial,” District Attorney James Moss said. “She never took responsibility. She invented out of whole cloth a black man who shot her, and if law enforcement hadn’t done their jobs right, we could have had a gentleman wrongly charged with a crime.” Her story, which sounds like a kindergartner made it up, ...

East Pittsburgh Shooting: A Sober Look at a True Tragedy

As a retired cop, I see my current calling as speaking about, writing about, and discussing the causes and effects of de-policing in America. Another part of my job is to defend law enforcement officers who are unfairly attacked, which leads to de- policing. I also try to make complex calls more understandable to the public from one police officer’s perspective. Remember, in most professions, when a person makes an honest mistake a steak is overcooked, numbers are added incorrectly, or mail is delivered to the wrong address. If cops make mistakes, people can die. Having said this, the recent tragic shooting of a black 17-year-old by a white police officer in East Pittsburgh, ...

Comment by Gatlin: Since the start of 2018, at least 51 law enforcement officers across the U.S. have died while on duty -- with 30 of the deaths caused by gunfire. Roughly 135 cops died in 2016, making it the deadliest year for police officers in at least five years, Fox News has found.

Tragically, a Milwaukee police officer has died following a shooting just after 5 p.m. yesterday in the city's north side Metcalfe Park neighborhood, according to the Milwaukee Police Department....increasing the number of deaths caused by ...

Megan O’Grady can’t recall how she came up with the idea. She had never sewn anything in her life and her family didn’t own a sewing machine. She just knew she had to give families something to hold on to – a piece of what they’d lost. She learned every step from her grandmother – how to stuff, sew and embroider. Constructing each bear was a lengthy process. She had to cut the uniform, stuff the head, body and limbs, and stitch the pieces together. Then add the eyes and nose, and embroider a shield on the chest, personalized to include the officer’s last name and badge number. She placed stripes on the shoulder for rank or service, and a blue ribbon ...

GREAT FALLS, MT—After getting pulled over for driving 40 miles per hour in a 35-mph zone Friday afternoon, local landscaper and Bible study leader Victor Jenkins graciously let Officer Elizabeth Carpenter of the Great Falls Police Department off with a stern warning for taking on the role of a police officer. “Do you know why I pulled you over?” Officer Carpenter asked after walking up to Jenkins’ rolled-down window. “Yes, yes I do. It’s because you’ve assumed a directly authoritative role in opposition to the naturally revealed guidelines of the Creator, ma’am,” Jenkins said calmly. “Since the curse in Genesis 3, woman has always ...

DEARBORN, Mich. - A pit bull attacked its owner in Dearborn as a horrified Animal Control officer looked on, according to officials. The incident happened after neighbors complained about the dog and an Animal Control officer was sent to the owner's home. Signs at the front of the home give a fair warning of what to expect, and neighbors said trouble with the owner's dogs is not a surprise. "I hate to say it, but it's been building up," neighbor Lela Warren said. "These dogs have gotten out several times. The neighbor right here's had that dog in his backyard, snarling at him."

Army veteran suffering from PTSD tells VA therapist he thought about shooting Louisville, Ky. police officer (who cited him for minor traffic violation) but that he did not intend to do it. A VA staff member informs the police (without the therapist's say-so). The (Louisville, Ky) officer gets the veteran charged with making terroristic threats, neglects to mention therapist's belief that veteran was not a risk. The veteran spends 10 days in jail before charges dismissed. Sixth Circuit Decision: The officer had a warrant, so the veteran can't sue for false arrest (though he might have been more successful had he raised different claims).

This is a rather creepy story out of Florida (where else) which deserves a bit more attention. Four years ago, Florida Sheriff’s Deputy Christopher Newman shot and killed Gregory Vaughn Hill Jr. while responding with his partner to reports of a disturbance involving loud music. Since Hill was black and Newman is white, an investigation was immediately convened with the usual media focus on possible motivations involving racism. A grand jury was convened to examine the case and they opted not to indict Newman, placing nearly all the blame on Hill for the result of the encounter. That led to a wrongful death suit being filed by Hill’s family in civil court. That case drew to a ...

Following reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) used at least one spy to secretly surveil members of the Trump campaign, fired former FBI director James Comey lashed out at critics of his agency’s activities during the 2016 election. “Facts matter. The FBI’s use of Confidential Human Sources (the actual term) is tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country,” Comey tweeted on May 23. “Attacks on the FBI and lying about its work will do lasting damage to our country.” While Comey’s record on truth-telling is decidedly mixed, he is correct that facts matter and that the FBI’s use of informants is governed by strict ...

Perhaps Scot Peterson’s off the hook after all, at least legally and formally. The Broward County Sheriff’s deputy wasn’t the only law enforcement officer taking a wait-and-see approach to the massacre taking place inside Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. According to records obtained by the Miami Herald, a captain ordered BSO deputies to set up a perimeter around the school rather than enter immediately to confront the shooter, as is required by department procedures and standard practice. In other words, it became effectively a stand-down order while shots rang out: The Broward Sheriff’s Office captain who initially took charge of the chaotic scene at a ...
