'Disturbing' recordings from inside child-predator sting shows police, MAGA operatives ignoring laws

That sting was run back in May by Millersville Assistant Police Chief Shawn Taylor and a colorful cast of characters he assembled for the operation.

Among the revelations, the recordings show:

  • Taylor did not involve other law enforcement agencies with more experience in such operations because of his unfounded conspiracy theories that prominent state officials are involved in child sex trafficking.
  • Members of a private group posed online as minors — despite Millersville police being told by prosecutors that the sting would be legal only if sworn law enforcement officers were the ones doing the work.
  • Shawn Taylor told one operative that investigators would be using “pre-signed search warrants,” which would likely be illegal, according to experts.
  • Police arrested one suspect then, when he refused to talk to investigators, they turned him over to the private group for questioning.
  • A Millersville detective boasted that the suspect was being taken to a jail where it was likely that he might not come out alive.

I know I’m just stating the obvious, but Police Chief Shawn Taylor is definitely a pedophile and he has absolutely molested multiple children in his life.

Nobody is this unhinged about pedophiles and not projecting.

MehBlah ,

Of course. Now investigate them and discover they are the predators. Projection is emerging as their core trait.

good journalism

The best way to not be caught as a child predator is to pretend you are fighting them.

Maybe I should invest in cyanide tablets for when Trump wins again.

Or, hear me out:

A radical leftist militia

You can buy cyanide without restrictions online in the USA. Shows up easy on all toxicology reports so if you were dumb enough to poison someone, you would be found pretty easy.

JimboDHimbo ,

…I think they were talking about poisoning themselves?

Makes sure to get vault tec banana flavor ones. They are highly recommended!

The whole city government of Millersville, TN is a corrupt as fuck shit show. News channel 5 and specifically Phil Williams have been covering all the goings on for years if anyone wants to do a deep dive. Honestly the right thing to do at this point would be to fire all the commissioners, police, fire, literally everyone and one of the neighboring city’s just absorb the town. Lived there 9 years and it’s nothing but an embarrassment.

Did they do anything right…?

I mean in the most general of sense going after pedos is good, they just immediately went wrong from there on out.

The problem is that it seems like they probably just labeled people they don’t like as pedos and went from there.

dumpsterlid ,

The way I see it is that pedos are the perfect thing for the childlike, immature psyche of republicans to focus on and unify around as the evil baddies they have to fight since an actual pedophile is one of the closest things to a disney evil villain who is evil just because.

Republicans really can’t emotionally handle problems in life being more nuanced and complex than a secret cabal of pedophiles that have to be righteously hunted down in witch-hunts. That is satisfying, that gets Republican’s to sit up and pay attention because they get to hate without feeling guilty about it.

Republicans actually can’t handle the world being complex and nuanced, they can’t handle solutions not involving them rolling out a vile hatred for people, so fighting pedophilia is one of the few places left republicans can retreat to, gripping onto their pathetically simplified and hateful world views.

Thwy did lots of right things, but nothing was done correctly…

jpreston2005 ,

Ok, from everything I know about republicans, there is undoubtedly a massive amount of projection going on. How long until we find out that him and 90% of his little renegade militia task force have CP on their devices? Maybe a a year? couple months?

thesporkeffect ,

He’s going to claim it was evidence from some minority he citizens-arrested

Maggoty ,

And now that private group and any police officers associated with them are all going to prison for lengthy sentences.

Right America?

Right?

some_guy ,

Holy fucking shit. This is BAD.

Two of the men were introduced to the group as “prayer warriors,” who are part of a group that believes the battle against human trafficking is a battle against “demons.”

Frightening that we have so many of these lunatics in the country right now, pushing and pulling one another further into psychotic delusions.

“And start whacking some — you know, not to make it political — but whole leftist, corrupt, pedophile, this evil thing that’s taken over Nashville,” Sawyer said.

The inability to see the difference between pedophiles and your political opponents suggests to me that you aren’t of sound mind to vote, posses firearms, or be around children.

This shit should be investigated by the FBI. This police chief should be suspended during the investigation, as well as any officers who participated. This kind of bat-shit crazy thinking must not be tolerated in positions of great power over others. This is truly terrifying.

rusticus ,

This shit should be investigated by the FBI.

The FBI already investigate LEO across the country more than a decade ago and found that white supremacists were actively infiltrating our police force. Nothing has been done about this finding.

This is truly terrifying.

Yes. It is.

Delonix ,

These chucklefucks are so misguided and stupid, it boggles the mind… also what a nasty narcissist Sandy their leader is, she probably blows them all. Yukkk. Just fucking be content and do some good work in your communities you fucking morons.

SuddenDownpour ,

Your average law enforcement agent already has a worrying tendency to be a moron. Now imagine if that person is also a conspiracy theorist.

Delonix ,

Fucking clowns 🤡

Just a little preview of a second Trump presidency…

Back in 2018, Sawyer took a Tucson TV crew to a camp that he suggested might have been used for child sex trafficking.

In fact, police said it was just a camp used by homeless families.

The problem of unhoused people has been solved. Homeless are now pedophiles. Let them get killed in jail.
