Perhaps they just want to make sure that the kids are not actually half-cat.

Nothing like building a DNA database of every child. I am certain that it will never be abused by law enforcement in any way.

Could be a 'spot the trans' ploy ?

I'm still not sure if this one is true as I first saw it on Reddit, but Newsweek has picked it up now. Newsweek is not what it once was, so grain of salt and all that. I reckon it does not necessarily mean that the shooter has the same politics, but the mother praised the fascist grandfather so apple not falling far from the tree and so on. We will see when they release actual information about the suspect and his motives.

Law enforcement opposes rules banning cops from being involved in extremist groups - Minnesota Reformer

The law enforcement lobby showed up Tuesday to oppose new rules proposed by the state’s police licensing board‚ including banning law enforcement officers from being involved in hate, extremist or white supremacist groups — because they said the wording is too vague.

Also, here in MN the law enforcement lobby is opposing a new rule by the state licensing board that would ban law enforcement officers from being hired that are members of hate, extremist or white supremacist groups. I assume the goal is to keep the nazis off the police force as nationwide there has indeed been infiltration by such groups.

The objection is pretty clearly opposed based upon the First Amendment and upon any beliefs about sexuality and that it would make it harder to recruit police officers during their current shortage. They liken it to someone belonging to a bible study group opposed to gay marriage. I would assume that a bible study group would not be on a list as a hate group, but what do I know.

Carlson said the rules violate officers’ due process and have a preference for “one set of perspectives over another,” also known as “viewpoint discrimination,” a violation of the First Amendment. The rule could be used to attack people with sincerely held, religious-based opinions that are critical of “prevailing culture practices” with regard to marriage and sexuality, she said.

The POST Board has proposed amending the rule to create an exception based on membership in a religious organization, but Carlson said for many devout, religious observers, “Faith is not confined to membership in organized religion” but is “lived out daily and transcends beyond membership within the walls of a temple, church, mosque or synagogue.”

She questioned whether a private statement made by an officer at any age could be used as the basis for termination or denial of a job — such as a social media post supporting “female athletes desiring to play on female-only sports teams.” Or contributions to a religious group that opposes gay marriage or “expresses concern about harmful gender transition efforts towards minors.” Or membership in a Bible study that is opposed to gay marriage.

The gay club shooting suspect evaded Colorado's red flag gun law

More than a year before he was arrested in the Colorado Springs gay nightclub shooting that left five people dead, the suspect allegedly threatened his mother with a homemade bomb.

www.npr.org

A year and a half before he was arrested in the Colorado Springs gay nightclub shooting that left five people dead, Anderson Lee Aldrich allegedly threatened his mother with a homemade bomb, forcing neighbors in surrounding homes to evacuate while the bomb squad and crisis negotiators talked him into surrendering.

Yet despite that scare, there's no public record that prosecutors moved forward with felony kidnapping and menacing charges against Aldrich, or that police or relatives tried to trigger Colorado's "red flag" law that would have allowed authorities to seize the weapons and ammo the man's mother says he had with him.

But, sure, guns clearly aren't the problem here.

Obviously, America needs to replace its buildings with something sturdier, like bunkers. And bury all power and phone lines so they don't get in the way of bullets.

Jokes aside, this seems to be an act of domestic terrorism, possibly linked to a Jan. 6th rioter who wanted to attack a drag show.

The Sheriff's Office says they haven't found a connection between protests over a drag show and the attacks on the power substations.
