Undercover Work On Cop Shop?
Word on the street has it that Boise PD and Team Dave are working–once again–at acquiring the old K-Mart building on Americana for a cop shop. For those who don’t remember–and that may be half of you–the big flat building with a parking lot at Americana and Shoreline was formerly an office, US Post Office […]
Said Like A Real Man
Young: “ A LOT OF THE TIME YOU’RE SMILING AT SOMEONE, WHILE IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD YOU’RE ASSESSING HOW YOU WOULD KILL THEM IF YOU HAD TO. IT’S THREAT ASSESSMENT.” “I’M TINY, BUT ANY OF THE GUYS WHO HAVE EVER BEEN IN FIGHTS WITH ME KNOW BETTER.” “YOU HAVE TO HAVE A JACK […]
Another Idaho“Armed Camp”
We noticed a recent Associated Press Dispatch about yet another North Idaho “compound” bristling with firepower and para military types. The Aryan Nations and the infamous “Rev.

Cool Heads For Hot Float
The Idaho Attorney General has issued an opinion that Boise cops can write tickets for violation of city open booze container ordinances on the Boise River–just like they do on state highways within the city. Last month when it looked like a crack down on open containers was imminent, there was a pretty strong reaction […]
How About Lifeguards?
River floating season will be upon us soon and the cops are prepared to spend about $100,000 keeping the peace in the Boise River. We all know what happens when you get in the cold river water and get wet well above the knees. Folks, it’s just a natural thing. Sure the water gets a […]
