Prosecutor in McCloskey Case Pressured Cop to File a Falsified Probable Cause Warrant

Gee, I wonder why the media hasn't picked upon this story.

The lead St. Louis police detective investigating the McCloskey case refused to sign at least two versions of court documents prosecutors drafted, according to a review of those documents obtained by 5 On Your Side.
In addition, police contend at least one person in the crowd was armed and another was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, after analyzing videos taken June 28, when the couple confronted protesters with guns.

You've already heard that the prosecutor, Chris Hinckley (one of Kim Gardner's handpicked minions) ordered the lab to dissassemble and then reassemble the non-operative gun into an operative condition, so he could then charge Mrs. McCloskey with brandishing a working gun.

That's falsification of physical evidence right there.

But Hinckney's efforts at falsification went further than that.

Hickney pressured the lead detective to sign a warrant application (which assistant Hinckley had written) that contained a bunch of false claims. The detective demanded these false claims be removed, but Hinckley fought for them.

...
Hinckley also wrote the document the lead detective did sign, known as the probable cause statement.
But it went through at least two revisions after Burgdorf outlined 14 concerns he had about the document, 5 On Your Side has learned.
Among those concerns:
Hinckley characterized the protest as "peaceful and organized" and that it was "calling attention to racial inequities in the criminal justice system." Burgdorf wrote that the evidence he gathered showed the protest was to call for the resignation of Mayor Lyda Krewson. The final document called it "a protest march."
...
Hinckley called Mark McCloskey’s gun an "assault" rifle. Burgdorf called the word "assault" a propaganda term. Hinckley disagreed, but it was left out of the final document.

It's not just a "propaganda" term; "assault rifle" has a definite meaning. It means a carbine capable of firing single shot or multishot (including fully automatic).

This gun was not that. It was a one-shot-per-trigger-pull AR-15.

But the prosecutor demanded the cop swear that an "assault rifle," like an M-16, had been brandished.

That sort of lying might be acceptable in a campaign ad -- but in a filing to a judge, it's a fraud on the court and it's criminal.

But then again, this entire prosecution was just one big Campaign Ad for Kim Gardner's reelection, wasn't it?

Hinckley wrote that the protesters passed through an "open gate" onto private property. Burgdorf said he didn’t know whether the gate guarding the private street was open when protesters went through it, but that, at some point, it was damaged.

It was open because the Peaceful Protesters smashed it open.

Hinckley responded: "Your points here are really problematic. It seems to go beyond oversight and into purposeful ignorance. I suggest you very quickly re-assess this evidence." Ultimately the document Burgdorf signed reads, "protesters walked through a gate."
Hinckley wrote that Mark McCloskey’s gun was "visibly loaded with an ammunition clip." Burgdorf wrote that he would have to verify that detail because it wasn’t mentioned in his report or interviews with them. Hinckley wrote back "Seriously??!!" Ultimately, the document did not include the phrase Hinckley wrote.

Hinckley left a threatening voice mail stating he was "done with this crap" and that the cop had better start certifying what Hinckley was ordering him to certify.

In addition, there were a lot of threats made by the Peaceful Protesters which are all heard on videotape of the incident -- which Hinckley, of course, did not note in his filing.

I heard about this from Robert Barnes on Viva Frei.

This isn't a leak, but a response to a FOIA request. But here's the thing: Barnes said he's never in his life seen such a rapid, fulsome response to a FOIA request.

In other words: The cops couldn't wait to comply with this FOIA.

Barnes credits Matt Christianson for being the person who found this nugget. His video is below.

51 Another fun thing about this case is that under Missouri law, which has the strongest Castle Doctrine in the US, the McCloskeys were within their constitutional rights to shoot every person who menaced them that day.

It's actually illegal for the prosecutor to even charge them with menacing while on their own property.

MO's constitution says that it is illegal to even question a person's 2A right to bear arms.

The frame-job is just delicious illegal icing on the unconstitutional charging decision cake in this case.

90 "Assault rifle" had a meaning back when the standard issue main weapon for a soldier would have been a "rifle" rifle like a Garand or Springfield. Small overall length, select fire, lightweight, etc. A rifle for carrying out an assault, as opposed to standoff field or trench operations.

I'm pretty sure as a term of art it doesn't really have any specific meaning anymore.

92 It's not just a "propaganda" term; "assault rifle" has a definite meaning. It means a carbine capable of firing single shot or multishot (including fully automatic).

Correct. But, "assault *weapon*" is a bullshit political/propaganda phrase.

Yale is ordered to stop doing that shit immediately, and if they
wish to use any race-based admission criteria in the future, the new
policy must be pre-approved by DoJ.

It will be interesting to see what Kuwait does now. Kuwait has not been as open to Israel as the other Gulf States, but they're also vulnerable to Iran, and they know it.

I noticed with some amusement that it has been announced that Netanyahu has "given in" on his plans for Annexations in the West Bank in order to make these deals. Well, I suppose you could say he's "given in", unless you believe that he had only announced those plans of annexation so that he would have something he could "give in on" during the next negotiations.

She was the swing vote in the Grutter case. Naturally, the libs voted in lockstep. Dissent was Rehnquist, Thomas, Kennedy (surprise!), and Scalia.

The Court's majority ruling, authored by Justice O'Connor,
held that the United States Constitution "does not prohibit the law
school's narrowly tailored use of race in admissions decisions to
further a compelling interest in obtaining the educational benefits that
flow from a diverse student body." The Court held that the law school's
interest in obtaining a "critical mass" of minority students was indeed
a "tailored use". O'Connor noted that sometime in the future, perhaps
twenty-five years hence, racial affirmative action would no longer be
necessary in order to promote diversity. It implied that affirmative action should not be allowed permanent status and that eventually a "colorblind" policy should be implemented.

If George Floyd had OD'ed (he may have done in any case), instead of having Chauvin muddy the waters by kneeling on his neck, would anyone actually care?

I don't usually say this, but HOLY SHIT are you wrong.

"Assault rifle" is terminology that's been in use at least since the Germans were calling them Sturmgewehr.

"Assault weapon", OTOH, is the political terminology that came about back during the Clinton administration and is a creation of Josh Sugarmann and the Violence Policy Center. It was this deliberate blurring of the lines over what weapons are and are not that laid the groundwork for the Assault Weapons Ban.

Hinckley's use of the phrase "assault rifle" is a deliberate fraud upon the courts.

Well, everyone knows that the AR in AR-15 stands for assault rifle.

I mean, duh.

indeed. and just as clearly, the russian word for "rifle" must start with "k". that's why the russians call their ar-15 clone the ak-47.

254 Go into a gun store, and ask the clerk for an "intermediate cartridge." If he smiles, hands you a box of "intermediate cartridge," and gives you a price, you will report this to Zod. Or not.

Jesus, you really were fucking with me.

Try doing the same by asking for a "pistol cartridge" or a "rifle cartridge". They'll not be able to hand you a box. That doesn't mean "pistol cartridge" and "rifle cartridge" is meaningless.

You basically farted out the argument that the term "beer" is meaningless. If you go to a bar and ask for a "beer" you're getting a look from the bartender, not a beer. That doesn't mean "beer" is meaningless.

This is hilarious, for multiple reasons. First, simply because it is such an old and lame idea, proving that leftists haven't had a single original thought in nearly 90 years now. Don't they know that this is what Huey P. Long pushed harder than anybody? He even put a scare into FDR with this, until he got himself shot.

And then it all fell apart. Now they're trying to resurrect the Greatest Hits of the 1930's for their "New" ideas.

and also - It's behind a paywall, but I could see the headline that says "It could hit 30,400 Californians and raise $7.5 Billion" No, Actually it could force the 30,000 wealthiest California residents to leave the state while raising diddly squat, that's what it'll do. You're not East Germany yet, you can't put a wall around yourselves to keep the fatted calves in.

346 Anyone who uses the term "truck" is a deluded fool. You should only ever use the make, model, and year of the vehicle in question to refer to such a thing.

Ackshually, you shouldn't say "vehicle" either, because that's a general term.

Ackshually, you shouldn't use the word "you" because what does that mean? The voice in your head you? The sum of all your actions you? The past, present, or future you? That term is too general!

348 Feel-good story of the day:

Bozo disabled guy in Lodi (sleepy town in central California) idiotically rolled his wheelchair onto the tracks as a train was approaching. And of course...he got stuck.

So he sat there kind of halfheartedly and not very actively trying to get his electric wheelchair to break loose from the tracks, not really realizing that a high-speed freight train was bearing down on him.

So a (female Hispanic, not that that is relevant) cop was driving by, and saw him stuck on the tracks and the train coming in at top speed, so she screeched to a halt, sprinted over to him, and physically yanked him backwards out of the wheelchair - with about half a second to spare. Amazing bodycam video here:

A 1% Wealth Tax could cost the USA about 3 million jobs. At 5% it could cost almost 15 million jobs.

It is like the Death Tax. It is a stupid idea for stupid people.
