The Droid Patrol would like to remind members of the community to be alert for potentially seditious and propagandistic releases such as the one noted here.

True citizens are directed to assist the Droid control and Droid patrol in ensuring that such material never makes it into the hands of those who are susceptible to the call of these so-called freedom movements and rebellions.

Bass Reeves was so dedicated to the law, he even arrested his own son Bennie for the murder of his wife. Bennie was sentenced to life in prison. With over 3000 arrests, 14 kills, went his entire 32 year career in law enforcement without being shot once.

He was assigned to bring in the notorious female outlaw Belle Starr. Once she got wind who was after her she turned herself into the federal court.

Reeves was one of a few Marshalls who would venture into Indian territory *oklahoma*. After the age of 67 he retired in 1907. He enjoyed his short lived retirement as a police officer in Muskogee Oklahoma, his assigned beat had 0 crime reported until he died at the age of 71 of Bright’s disease.

He was one of the true gun slingers of the west.

I love the story of Bass Reeves!

One of his famous tactics was, if he was captured or in danger by a criminal he was hunting down, he would ask them to read a letter from his wife before they killed him. He used their distraction to free himself and get the upper hand.

He was also a freed slave. George Reeves, his owner and reason for his surname, took Bass with him to fight in the Civil War. However, George became violently angry after Bass beat him at a card game, and Bass was forced to fight him (or kill, on some accounts) in self defense.

After running away and entering Native American territory, Bass learned how to speak the languages of the ‘Five Civilized Tribes’ (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muskogee, Seminole). This part of his life is where he mastered marksmanship. He got married and had a family after the Emancipation Proclamation was declared, and then later became a Marshal, going on the adventures listed above (and many more… Another famous criminal that Bass captured was Bob Dozier.)

He was the very first black US Marshal. May we never forget him, as history would suffer to lose such an outstanding figure.

Net Neutrality

CONGRATULATIONS, everybody! We only have 10 days to fight the FCC & the repeal of #NetNeutrality!

Thanks to John Oliver there’s a SUPER easy way to do this Do you enjoy Netflix? Do you find yourself spending too much time on FB? If net neutrality goes away, our Internet bills go up and we give power to companies like Comcast and Spectrum.

Here’s what you can do - takes less than a minute: 1. Go to gofccyourself.com (the shortcut John Oliver made to the hard-to-find FCC comment page) 2. Click on the 17-108 link (Restoring Internet Freedom) 2. Click on “express” 3. Be sure to hit “ENTER” after you put in your name & info so it registers. 4. In the comment section write, “I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs.” 5. Click to submit, done. - Make sure you hit submit at the end! **Feel free to share this**

I’m drawing musicians who I think are secretly witches for Autostraddle’s new series, Witch Hunt! Organized by the awesome Mey Rude. This month is Janelle Monae, whose songs and fashion inspire me, and who I loved doing a portrait of.

In regular circumstances, this violation would be handled by the Metropolis Broadcast Authority. However, because of the nature of the violation and the inclusion of the potentially harmful audio recordings of Android #57821, the enforcement of this ordinance will be a joint operation between the Broadcast Authority and the Droid Patrol.

The Droid Patrol is required to open joint operations to public comment. The public may submit their comments here.

[droidpatrol]

The Droid Patrol, on behalf of the Ministry of Droids and Droid Control continues to search for Android #57821 (alias Cindi Mayweather). We believe that she is suffering from serious malfunction and may be a danger to herself and to others.

We have been made to understand that unauthorized audio…

[kendallkennykendrick]

I have MANY recordings from Android #57821 and I’m never disposing on them! Also the support for Cindi Mayweather is forever on the archfandroid blog. POWER UP!!

[droidpatrol]

We urge you to reconsider. As Droid Control has yet determine the cause of Android #57821's malfunction, we cannot recommend continuing to listen to or otherwise consume those unauthorized recordings.

We are only concerned about your well-being and cannot guarantee your safety if you continue down this path

An update on the continued search for Android #57821

The Droid Patrol, on behalf of the Ministry of Droids and Droid Control continues to search for Android #57821 (alias Cindi Mayweather). We believe that she is suffering from serious malfunction and may be a danger to herself and to others. We have been made to understand that unauthorized audio recordings, allegedly made by Android #57821, have surfaced. The Ministry of Droids is unable to confirm the veracity of such claims, nor can they guarantee the safety of these recordings. If you receive one of these recordings, please forward the unopened file to your local Droid Patrol office for analysis and disposal as soon as possible. Your safety is our highest concern.

On the rights and responsibilities of speech

On behalf of the Ministry of Droids, the Droid Patrol would like to take a moment to talk about speech. As you know, the Ministry of Droids has taken the unprecedented step of allowing the android community a measure of free speech. While there are some within the cabinet who considered this move to be ill advised, we have seen that this has resulted in such cultural works as the Wondaland Electric Orchestra. We encourage the android community to continue pursuing the higher arts. We also would like to encourage the a android community to consider unrestricted speech to be a privilege, and to exercise care that the aforementioned speech uplift society. Please refrain from the broadcast of any material that is seditious or rebellious. The Droid Patrol will be working with radio stations to identify and dispose of such material as soon as possible. We appreciate your compliance.

Make Your Move is an effort from Missoula’s Intervention in Action Project, a group of community organizations dedicated to ending sexual violence. Its campaign’s goals are to: 1) Engage men and women as allies to prevent sexual violence by increasing awareness and education about the dynamics of sexual violence and 2) Encourage bystanders to foster healthy non-violent relationships and interrupt attitudes, language and actions that support sexual violence.

[droidpatrol]

Author Aside: This is important enough to break radio silence for, because droids and humans should be safe from sexual violence
