9 years ago today, my buddy Craig Johnson was shot by Bonner County Sniper Shawn Deem, killing him. Since that day I have advocated for police accountability. This past week I was appointed to the Spokane Office of Police Ombudsman Commission. Today I enjoyed my annual cigar in Craig’s memory.

Today is September 25th. It is 11:09 am. In less than 24 hour it will be the moment that my buddy, Craig Johnson will be shot in the back twice and killed by the Bonner County Sheriff’s department 9 years ago. A lot has happened since then. I wish I could go back in time and warn him.

The Oregon Gathering of the Eagles is happening this month, Sept 18-19. The keynote speaker is Tina Peters who was convicted of criminal election tampering when she tried to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump tried to pardon her but couldn't with the state conviction.

At today’s Spokane County Commissioners meeting, the SCSO asked for $80,564.22 for 72 ballistic vests. Documentation provided simply states that the sheriff had a need. No explanation as to why the sheriff needs these vests was provided. The commissioners approved the request.

This video is a positive view of the skywalk system in Spokane. The reviewer doesn’t get into the permanently locked skywalks or the ones that are used as a private entrance to buildings. I feel each skywalk should have a map at each end with posted hours of operation. youtu.be/Iiq7fc-AQMU?...

Middle of the afternoon, I’m walking from River Park Square in Spokane. There’s a skywalk system that’s supposed to make getting around downtown easier. Except, once again, the skywalk was locked.

Pretty thin evidence for Nowels to be claiming they caught the arsonist. They refer to him as a suspect but make it sound like he was already tried. Maybe he did it. Maybe he didn’t. But the comments on social media already convicted him and are calling for execution. Feels irresponsible of Nowels.

What is sad is that this seems pretty obviously to be a mental health issue and it is not being addressed at all. This is a failure of our society and our government. It is also a failure of @StarsandStrips.bsky.social for not addressing it. I feel bad for this young soldier. Meanwhile, Trump…

There once was a time that the government hid the bad things that they did so we wouldn’t find out and hold them accountable. Now the government doesn’t even try to hide the bad things because they know we can’t hold them accountable. They aren’t afraid of us anymore. We are afraid of them.

I don’t know anyone who thinks fire season isn’t a big deal. In the Pacific Northwest, we take fire season extremely seriously. I used to fight fires while working for a helicopter company back in the 90s. It’s dangerous work and we knew it.

I am so grateful for my family. Father’s Day reminds me how lucky I am. My kids are amazing! It also makes me think of 16-yo Aiken Smith and his family who lived in Kellogg, Idaho and were murdered on Father’s Day 3 years ago by a horrible neighbor. Hug your family and hold them close. ❤️

The federal government right now is indicting and convicting people who disagree with our government and have dissenting opinions. They’re negating your 1st and 4th amendment rights! And that should be of great concern to everyone.

Spokane, why even have skywalks if they are locked up most of the time? It seems that every time I try to use the skywalks I find locked doors or dead ends. #Spokane #UselessConvenience
