The San Jose police union was blasted for raffling off a semi-automatic rifle following the mass shooting in nearby Gilroy that was allegedly committed by a perpetrator armed with an AK-47 variant.
"A police union fundraising raffle featuring a semiautomatic rifle as the prize was canceled Friday, a day after San Jose’s former police auditor called it out as being in particularly poor taste in the wake of the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting that killed three people and wounded 13 more," the San Jose Mercury News reported Friday.
"LaDoris Cordell, who headed the city’s Office of the Independent Police Auditor from 2010 to 2015, said she was shocked by an ad in the latest issue of Vanguard, the monthly magazine of the San Jose Police Officers’ Association," the newspaper explained. "It promoted an August raffle to support the SJPD chaplaincy, with a $20 ticket making the buyer eligible to win a 'Ruger PC Carbine 9mm Semi-Auto Rifle.'"
“I don’t understand the mentality of law-enforcement officers who think this is OK,” Cordell said. “They’re supposed to protect and serve. You can’t protect and serve the community by putting a rifle out into the community.”
"Easy takedown enables quick separation of the barrel/forend assembly from the action for ease of transportation and storage," Ruger says.
Civilians were eligible to enter the police union's raffle.
“Regardless of whether there was a mass shooting in Gilroy, I don’t get how a law-enforcement agency can do this,” Cordell said. “But in the mass shooting, the person used a semiautomatic rifle. You would think in light of that, they would call it off.”
Union president Sgt. Paul Kelly agreed to cancel the raffle on Friday.
“We understand the concern this raffle has caused to some, and as such we will discontinue support for any raffle of any weapon in the future,” Kelly said in a statement. “Our prayers continue to be with the victims of the recent tragedy in Gilroy and we sincerely apologize for any pain this may have caused them.”
Chief Eddie Garcia agreed.
“Canceling the raffle was the right thing to do,” the chief said.
Esther Schneider of Texas, Sean Maloney of Ohio and Timothy Knight of Tennessee just resigned their positions on the board of the National Rifle Association.
“While our belief in the NRA’s mission remains as strong today as ever, our confidence in the NRA’s leadership has been shattered,” the board members told the NRA's officials in a letter that was sent to The Post.
The NRA has been thrown into chaos after former NRA chief Oliver North was ousted in wake of criticisms of about the way the organization was spending members' money.
“On a cosmic level, the NRA has been hemorrhaging cash for years (running deficits of as much as $40 million a year), may be nearly broke, is losing members, and now faces a formidable legal challenge to its tax exempt status," wrote conservative Charlie Sykes. "And this doesn’t even include its odd entanglements with the Russians,” wrote Sykes. “The full NRA board is supposed to meet on Monday to hash all of this out.”
The NRA was behind at least $15 million in soft money used to help elect President Donald Trump in 2016. There are questions about where exactly the money came from and allegations it was funneled through foreign donors. The infighting is enough to make the Trump campaign nervous about whether they can count on the organization for 2020.
On Tuesday, CNN's Jim Sciutto reported that police are responding to a shooting at a Walmart in Southaven, Mississippi.
According to reports, two employees are dead and two other people were shot, including a police officer who was protected by his vest. The condition of the perpetrator is currently unknown, as is the motive for the shooting.

This event follows the fatal shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California, which left four people dead including a six year old boy.
Another massive shooting has been reported, this time at the famous Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California.
Gilroy is generally known as the garlic capital of the United States and the annual festival is huge every year.
A video from one attendee shows a huge crowd running for safety.
Witness Miquita Price said that she was mere feet from the white, male shooter, who was carrying an automatic rifle and wearing Army fatigues. She said that she's heard reports of 60 people who were shot and she knows at least one person is dead.
However, another witness reported hearing about 30-40 shots. The local NBC News affiliate reported at least 11 people that were taken by ambulances as of 8 p.m. PST.
Following racist attacks on members of The Squad by President Donald Trump and his supporters, a police officer in Louisiana reportedly said that one of the congresswomen of color should be shot.
Trump has been lashing out at the four first-term congresswomen, who include Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
"A Gretna police officer posted a comment on his Facebook page this past week calling U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a 'vile idiot' who 'needs a round, and I don't mean the kind she used to serve,'" NOLA reported Saturday.
"The comment, which alludes to the freshman Democrat's past work as a New York City bartender while apparently saying she should be shot, comes amid increasing scrutiny of racist and violent social media posts by police officers in departments across the country," NOLA added.
The officer, Charlie Rispoli, has been on the force since 2005.
"I’m not going to take this lightly and this will be dealt with on our end," Chief Arthur Lawson said. "It’s not something we want someone that’s affiliated with our department to make these types of statements. That’s not going to happen."
The comment was in reference to a fake story with a fabricated quote attributed to Ocasio-Cortez.
"Whether you agree or disagree with the message of these elected officials and how frustrated you may or may not get, this certainly is not the type of thing that a public servant should be posting," Chief Lawson said.
An off-duty corrections officer in Aurora, Colorado has been accused of killing another man over an argument about fireworks.
According to an affidavit obtained by KDVR, Scott Mathews and his girlfriend, Katherine O'Neal, became upset with a 14-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl on the Fourth of July.
The couple complained that fireworks had startled their small dog. Both Mathews and O'Neal work for the state Department of Corrections and were armed during the confrontation.
The affidavit states that Mathews head-butted Shamira Cotton, the mother of the children. O'Neal admitted drawing her gun but insisted that she did not point it at anyone.
When Cotton's boyfriend, Jaharie Wheeler, came out of his apartment, he found his girlfriend bleeding, the affidavit said.
Wheeler was then accused of throwing a punch at Mathews before the corrections officer pulled his gun and allegedly shot the man in the chest.
Mathews was taken into custody. Charges are expected to be announced on Wednesday. He is being held on $100,000 bond.
Virginia state Sen. Amanda Chase is facing criticism for claiming on Facebook that women who are raped are "naive and unprepared" because they weren't armed.
During a social media debate on gun ownership, Chase told one constituent, "It's those who are naive and unprepared that end of [sic] raped. Sorry but I’m not going to be a statistic."
Chase ultimately doubled down on her comments in a public statement, saying the constituent was "scoffing at my rights and the rights of everyone else who protect themselves ... I'm a champion for women, their right to protect themselves and their right to their opinion, even if I may not agree, but will not tolerate the bullying or chastising the rights of the Second Amendment."
In reality, there is no evidence whatsoever that carrying guns deters rapes. Higher gun ownership is in fact linked to higher violent crime — and in fact most sexual violence against women is committed by familiar people, not random strangers who prey on people while jogging.
For all Chase's claims that she is a "champion for women," she opposes ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia, calling it "a plot by the left to eliminate gender altogether" — although she has said that her revolver is "my little Equal Rights Amendment."
Chase's Democratic opponent in Virginia's 11th Senate District, social worker Amanda Pohl, sharply condemned Chase's rape remarks. "As someone who works in advocacy, I know we can prevent sexual assault by funding primary prevention and ending rape culture," said Pohl. "Victim-blaming and shaming contribute to rape culture and harm survivors. Virginians deserve better."
The Virginia Senate elections will take place this November. Republicans control the chamber by one vote, and are struggling to defend their turf after their racial gerrymander was struck down in court.
In a deep-dive "Reality Check" on CNN Tuesday morning, analyst John Avlon delved into the chaos engulfing the National Rifle Association that has led to the ouster of multiple top executives and the gun rights organization pulling the plug on their inflammatory NRA TV network.
Avlon began, "America's biggest gun lobby, the National Rifle Association shut down live programming last week and its online television channel, NRA-TV. And that because NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre said it had moved too far from its core mission."
The CNN contributor then shared clips of controversial former NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch ranting at liberals by saying, "They use their media to assassinate real news. They use their schools to teach children that their president is another Hitler, all to make them march and scream about xenophobia and homophobia,"
"Since its founding by two Union officers after the Civil War, the NRA went work from its early mission to help teach marksmanship to being a political powerhouse dedicated to inflaming culture wars and fundraising off fears of gun control," Avlon asserted before adding that one big reason for the end of NRA-TV was that no one was buying what they were selling.
"According to Comscore, the NRA website clocked a stunningly bad 49,000 unique visitors in January alone," the analyst explained. "By comparison, CNN saw an average of 120 million unique visitors a month in 2018."
Describing the NRA's overall problems, Avlon advised, "As always, if you want to find the truth -- follow the money. Audits of the NRA by accountants showed that after spending $420 million in 2016, including $54 million to support Donald Trump and Republicans and a nearly $15 million deficit -- and double that the following year, while donations fell."
A man who claimed he was a substitute teacher at Santa Fe High during the 2018 shooting told a harrowing story of survival. But the school district says he never worked there.
In the immediate aftermath of the May 2018 shooting at Santa Fe High School, a man who said he witnessed the carnage seemed to turn up everywhere.
The man calling himself David Briscoe appeared in Time as a substitute teacher seemingly in the wrong place at the wrong time; CNN described his heroism as he ordered his students to “get down” and kept them protected until police came; The Wall Street Journal relayed the blood-curdling screams he heard from students in the hallway.
In April, nearly a year after the shooting, he told a strikingly similar story to The Texas Tribune. But after investigating some of his claims, the Tribune did not publish his account of the shooting — because it appears his entire story was an elaborate hoax.
In a roughly 31-minute interview with the Tribune, David Briscoe told his tale: When the first shots rang out — “it was very, very loud” — he said he directed his classroom of nearly a dozen students in the remedial English course he was teaching to muffle their screams with their hands.
He barricaded the doors. Turned off the lights.
He said he could never return to the Houston-area school where 10 died and another 13 were injured last spring. “Just knowing that there’s blood on the walls where you walk at ... I don’t think I could go back,” he said, so after he and his students were rescued by law enforcement, he said he quit teaching altogether and moved to Florida, three months after he took the job at Santa Fe High.
But according to the school district, he was never there.
Lindsey Campbell, a spokeswoman for Santa Fe Independent School District, said it had no record of anyone named David Briscoe being employed by the district in any capacity and that the district is confident no one by that name was on campus the day of the shooting last year.
“We are extremely disappointed that an individual that has never been a part of our school community would represent themselves as a survivor of the mass violence tragedy that our community endured,” said Santa Fe ISD Superintendent Leigh Wall. “This situation illustrates how easily misinformation can be created and circulated, especially when the amount of detailed information available is limited due to the still ongoing investigation.”
James Roy, a lieutenant for the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office — which helped investigate the massacre — said the shooting was contained to the art rooms and there were no English classes on that side of the school.
“The best I can tell, we have no record of [Briscoe],” Roy said. He added that the man’s claim that the shots were “very, very loud,” didn’t sound right.
“If he was anywhere other than that hallway [where the shooting the place], I don't think he could’ve heard anything but the fire alarm,” he said, referring to the alarm a teacher pulled as a warning to get people out of the school.
Public records show that Briscoe had a home address in Florida at the time of the shooting; there’s no record of him living in Texas at any time.
All four news organizations that quoted him removed any reference of David Briscoe from their stories after being contacted by the Tribune.
“I don’t know what motivates people to try to take advantage of a tragedy like this,” said John Bridges, the managing editor for the Austin American-Statesman, which also quoted Briscoe in an article shortly after the shooting. “It’s sick and it’s sad.
“Reporters can face significant reporting hurdles in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy,” he said, “and some people unfortunately attempt to take advantage of those situations and try to dupe reporters.”
It’s not uncommon for people to emerge after a high-profile disaster pretending to be a victim — often for financial gain, but sometimes simply for attention. Years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, it was revealed that a Spanish woman who claimed to be a survivor of the attack was never there.
“Social media makes it easier for everybody to be fooled by people — regular people, journalists and politicians,” said Gina Chen, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin’s School of Journalism. “People pretend to be other people for various reasons, sometimes nefarious and sometimes not.”
The man calling himself David Briscoe used social media to initiate contact with some reporters, including a Tribune reporter. When the Tribune asked to interview him again in early May, he initially claimed a rogue former employee for the social media company he said he started — whom he refused to name — had stolen his identity.
Then he stopped responding to requests for comment.
“I have never lived in Texas”
The man using Twitter handle @daviddbriscoe reached out to the Tribune in April, hoping to discuss his role as a survivor of the Texas tragedy as news reports circulated of survivors of a school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. taking their own lives.
After the shooting at Santa Fe High, the man told the Tribune by phone, he became isolated and depressed and began drinking heavily. He said he never tried to contact any of the other survivors. At one point, he said, he contemplated suicide, and he told a reporter he was still struggling with depression. He said he spent a couple of months at his parents’ home in New Orleans immediately after the tragedy, then returned to the Houston area for a while to live with a friend before moving to Orlando, Florida — where he said he founded his social media company.

He said he recently gave a speech at Colonial High School in Orlando, where the principal honored him and he talked to students and faculty about what he thought lawmakers could do to prevent another tragedy.
A spokeswoman for Colonial High School said no one named David Briscoe came to the school to speak.
Half a dozen Santa Fe survivors contacted by the Tribune also said they had never heard of someone named David Briscoe, and many wondered how he managed to snooker the media and grief-stricken survivors into believing his tale.
“Who knows how many other tragedies he’s put himself in around the country?” said Flo Rice, a former Santa Fe High substitute teacher who was shot in both legs last May. “No one wants to have been there, and no one wants to have been in this club that we’re all in now.”
After the initial April 25 phone interview with the Tribune, the man calling himself David Briscoe went quiet until mid-May, when he responded to a direct message on Twitter.
He claimed he had never talked to the Tribune.
When he was shown the email account and phone number of the person who first contacted the Tribune, as well as screenshots of the initial direct messages, he claimed one of his employees impersonated him and had likely been the person who gave interviews with other media outlets. He added that someone — likely that same employee — stole his identity nearly a year before. He wouldn’t disclose the name of the employee in question “due to company policy” but said the person had been arrested.

During a subsequent exchange through Twitter in early June, he would only say that he was hesitant about giving a statement for this story.
“We do not want [to] be in the middle of all of this. Again, my identity was already stolen, I do not want to be potentially targeted again,” he said.
“I have never lived in Texas,” he said. “I have only lived in Florida. I’ve been living here practically my whole life.”
After that conversation, his direct messages were disabled and phone calls went to voicemail.
The media response
Some of the publications that quoted him say they are taking steps to avoid a similar incident.
“We have removed him from the piece, and we apologize to our readers for the misinformation,” said Steve Severinghaus, a spokesman for The Wall Street Journal. “We are reviewing how this error was made and will take steps to safeguard against this in the future.”
Bridges, the Statesman managing editor, said that a reporter from his publication first initiated contact with David Briscoe last year after seeing his social media posts — made from the same account through which he first made contact with the Tribune — about the shooting. Those posts have since been deleted, Bridges said.
“The school obviously was in no position to verify employment in those moments immediately after the shooting,” Bridges said.
“Reporters in breaking news situations attempt to verify sources and information as much as they can — and we made reasonable attempts as we were reporting in the minutes after the shooting,” Bridges said.
In recent days, Bridges added, a reporter from the Statesman attempted to initiate contact with David Briscoe to verify his initial claims.
But the man had blocked the reporter from his account and denied that he ever portrayed himself as a shooting witness.

On the surface, the gun debate almost appears on the surface to be a debate between men and women, as Moms Against Gun Violence dominates the anti-NRA conversation. It's given the pro-gun argument a twinge of masculinity at the heart of gun culture, but it's taken out of the debate about gun violence.
"American masculinity is closely tied to gun culture and violence, but is rarely discussed," The Post wrote in its teaser about the documentary. "As traditional masculine expectations are being challenged in Hollywood, politics, advertising and beyond, some gun policy experts are asking, is it time for this examination to reach gun culture?"
Whether it's violence against men, rural or urban, homicide or suicide, men are disproportionately represented. Men as a whole are five times more likely to own a gun than women, the documentary cites. While both men and women include "protection" as a reason to own a gun, most women list it as the sole reason for having one.
[caption id="attachment_1514597" align="aligncenter" width="646"] (Photo: Screen capture from Washington Post documentary)[/caption]
Scott Melzer, Professor of sociology at Albion College remarked in the documentary that when mass shootings occur Americans seek easy fixes like fixing mental healthcare or fixing the gun show loophole, but fixing the way we view boys and men with guns is never part of the conversation.
Josh Cast is one of the founders of FourGuysGuns, a YouTube show that gives tips, tricks, product reviews and more to men about guns. He noted in an interview that masculinity is not the focal point, but it's certainly where other men get their knowledge and experience from when entering the gun culture.
He explained that a lot of people assume he and other men in the pro-gun movement are viewed as, "right-wing, anti-everything" and "I don't have a large penis if I don't have a gun."
However, he also admitted that guns also play into his identity "with, kind of, my gender role," he said. Noting that "genetically" there are "caregivers and worriers." He hates the label the NRA ascribes to its members and to gun owners. He was just as horrified by the school shootings as others and wants to see action to stop school shootings.
Melzer explained that for men, guns are a symbol of protection and providing. He said that the idea of masculinity surrounds men being in control, powerful, independent, tough and strong. His research partner, Jennifer Carlson, professor of sociology at the University of Arizona, agreed, saying it all adds together for a "recipe about how to be a good man."
He said that when society expects men to be "dominant, powerful, in control, in charge, to not give in," we're setting them up for acts of violence when they feel like they are not in control. The vast majority of mass shooters seek some form of fame, which they feel will prove they are masculine and strong. They tend to be white, heterosexual men who have experienced "downward mobility" in their lives, the documentary states. They then often find someone to blame for their problems and lash out.
Rob Pincus, executive vice president of Second Amendment Organization explained that many men grew up with an image of manliness being associated with guns.
While Pincus is an avid gun owner and teaches defense, he's also a radical opponent of the NRA. In the 2019 convention, he criticized the group for their lack of transparency and for only representing "certain types" of gun owners. He said that they pander to one particular demographic. He went on to say that the NRA helps perpetuate the stigma of gun ownership by associating gun ownership with "a scared, angry, fearful person."
Melzer described the NRA position as being about both victims and heroes, who believe that if they are regulated in any way then they will lose all of their rights and freedoms.
Laurinda Bellinger, Chapter President of Well Armed Women, said that most women she teaches are coming out of domestic violence situations or are fearful for one reason or another. She said that guns aren't even made to accommodate women's hands, so they often need extra training to help with learning to use them.
Professor Carlson explained that it's a lot easier to blame the object and fight the war against it rather than to deal with the psychology and vulnerability which is actually at the source of gun culture. Until we do, however, America will never fully resolve the gun problems.
The National Rifle Association has a hefty bill that remains unpaid, despite making a huge haul in fundraising for the 2016 election.
According to Betsy Woodruff at the Daily Beast, the NRA owes $1.6 million to their vendor, Ackerman McQueen, they've used for advertising for years. The company is the one responsible for doing the media for NRATV, the group's streaming service for pro-gun television.
The two have had a long relationship and err on the side of quiet privacy, which Woodruff said on MSNBC, shows just how acrimonious the battle has become.
The unpaid bills are part of a lawsuit that could end not only the business partnership but also the entire existence of NRATV.
“AMc requests that the Court issue an injunctive order requiring the NRA to post the $3,000,000 letter of credit mandated by the parties' contract,” the court documents outline. “The alternative is that AMc will be compelled to discontinue all services to the NRA and lose the employees who perform those services forever, incurring costs for severance the NRA is unlikely to pay without litigation.”
The documents go on to allege that a "shut down of those services will give the NRA an opening to claim a breach by AMc — a situation orchestrated by the NRA."
NRATV is cited extensively throughout the filing, with claims that NRATV had problems and AMc is being "scapegoated" for problems that are "related to the NRA's own self-governance, AMc has always operated at the direction of the NRA CEO.”
The organization has been dealing with serious legal bills as well. Not only were the overwhelming donations for Trump a problem, but they also face a hefty fine as a result of the move. Meanwhile, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo threatened to use the state to punish companies that do business with the NRA, prompting another lawsuit the group must fund. Wednesday it was also revealed that the NRA's CFO has a history of embezzlement.
New Zealand opened a gun buyback scheme Thursday aimed at ridding the country of semi-automatic weapons similar to those used in the Christchurch mosque attacks that killed 51 Muslim worshippers.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern vowed in the hours after the March 15 killings that New Zealand's gun laws would be tightened and her government has expedited the change in just three months.
"The buyback and amnesty has one objective -- to remove the most dangerous weapons from circulation following the loss of life at Al Noor and Linwood mosques," Police Minister Stuart Nash said.
The Australian man accused of the killings, Brenton Tarrant, is alleged to have used an arsenal of five weapons, including two military style semi-automatic rifles (MSSAs), in the attacks on two Christchurch mosques.
Lawmakers voted to outlaw MSSAs, which allow the rapid fire of high-calibre bullets, by a margin of 119-1 in the wake of the worst massacre in modern New Zealand history.
Licensed firearms owners will have six months to surrender weapons that have now been deemed illegal under the scheme, with an amnesty ensuring they will not face prosecution during that period.
After the amnesty expires, possession of a prohibited firearms is punishable by up to five years in jail.
Compensation will be based on the model and condition of the firearm, with the total cost of the scheme estimated at NZ$218 million ($143 million).
That includes NZ$18 million towards administration costs for what Nash said was "a huge logistical exercise".
He said police knew of 14,300 registered MSSA rifles and there were an estimated 1.2 million firearms in the community, with the vast majority still legal under the new rules.
Police said they were organizing "collection events" around the country where firearms owners could submit their weapons.
Tarrant last week pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges, as well as 51 counts of murder and 40 of attempted murder.
Wilson "Woody" Phillips, Jr. once worked at an employee-benefits consulting firm that was supposed to pay $45,000 to a Texas company. Yet, somehow, the money was rerouted.
According to a report from The New Yorker, when the companies were going back and forth about where the missing $45,000 went, they realized it had been routed to an account in Maryland, under the name of Hughes.
“They gave me records saying who the account belonged to,” accounts-payable manager Mary Hughes recalled in an interview. “And, sure enough, it was Woody’s.”
Hughes then walked through all of the payments that Wyatt made the previous years and found several cases where checks were deposited into his account instead of the firm. It totaled at least one million dollars in embezzled funds. At least three of Hughes' former colleagues corroborate her story.
He was ultimately fired but charges weren't brought against him. The fear the company had was that they would lose customers if it was broadcast.
“Wyatt’s doors would have closed if the company prosecuted him,” Hughes told the New Yorker. “I mean, we were dealing with people’s money, and our C.F.O. was stealing.”
Hughes said that it always bothered her that Phillips got away with stealing the money, particularly since he went off to work for the NRA in wake of his job. And in that capacity, he manages all of the funds for the organization. That's when Hughes decided to speak out.
“Enough is enough,” she said.
“The NRA has no knowledge of the matters in question and, naturally, is not at liberty to comment on any issues that do not involve the NRA,” the organization said in a statement. “With respect to his relationship with the NRA, Mr. Phillips was a longtime employee, and he continues to provide value to the Association and its members.”
Hughes said that she confronted Phillips after learning of the embezzlement.
"And he said, ‘Mary, who else knows about this?’” she recalled. She walked back to her office and after he left she made copies of the invoices that had been paid. She saw they were all "cleverly crafted fakes" the report revealed. The problem is that none of the payments had ever happened.
“It was a down payment on this, or the escrow on that,” she said after following the money. “I saw that he started the scheme almost as soon as he walked into the door."
Immediately after all of it was uncovered, Phillips was meeting with lawyers. He ultimately paid $500,000, but she said he owed over $1 million.
