‘We won’t be coming’: Washington state police reform goes into effect, law enforcement warns of consequences
Excerpt:
..Washington state legislators passed a series of new police reform bills that went into effect on Sunday, the most noteworthy being HB 1310 where law enforcement officers can only make arrests on the grounds of “probable cause” instead of “reasonable suspicion,” giving a green light for criminals to commit crimes without being held accountable.
Signed into law by Democratic Governor Jay Inslee without a vote from the people, HB 1310 also called the “use of force bill” drastically limits the way police officers respond to calls.
“It’s going to change the level of service we give to our citizens. Not because we want to, but because we have to,” Moses Lake Police Chief Fuhr said, according to Columbia Basin Herald.
“This is changing completely the way we’ve responded to some of these calls … and there will be some calls that we just absolutely don’t respond to from here on out,” Fuhr added.

Former Drudge Report Editor Launches Conservative Alternative
Excerpt:
The Drudge Report, that longtime haven for conservative news and wacky headlines on the internet, has gone lamestream, and many conservatives have launched new platforms to replace the gaping hole it has left behind.
Even a former editor of the Drudge Report, Joseph Curl, has stepped up to resurrect the Drudge spirit. On Tuesday, Curl announced the launch of Off The Press, a conservative-oriented aggregator that he says will have a “fearless attitude” toward covering “everything for those who devour news all day,” Just the News reported.
Curl intends for Off The Press to be a premier, 24/7 news aggregator that consumers can trust. He said the Drudge Report has become just another echo chamber for the legacy media.
...“But unlike the Drudge Report,” Curl told Just the News, “you won’t see any stories about exorcisms!”
Drudge Report alternatives have picked up traction, but it remains unclear who will take up the mantle. Citizen Free Press had an extremely strong launch and seems to be doing well, despite some potential targeting from Big Tech. Dan Bongino’s The Bongino Report has also made a respectable foray into the space.
Off The Press may have an edge with Curl and Bedard, but its name does not have the same ring to it as The Drudge Report, or Citizen Free Press or The Bongino Report. Then again, sites with stranger names have taken off.

We will see but IMO the more conservative news outlets the better.

And it’s happening already:
Deputies say man in yellow dress stole school bus, drove loader through home
(snip) Due to Washington’s new police reform laws,* in this case, deputies were not allowed to pursue the bus.
(for a minute there I thought that Dr. Jill had gone on a rampage)
Wondering how much screaming the Dems are going to do when people protect themselves and the police say they don’t have “probable cause” for the ones executing the miscreants.....it’s only reasonable suspicion...sorry can’t do anything....
