We back the blue 💯, but this is a BAD LOOK, and the story is going viral. Police officers are responsible for their actions AND their equipment, and that standard applies to leadership, too.
Columbus Police 1st Assistant Chief LaShanna Potts is now under investigation after an Ohio State Highway Patrol officer discovered her duty firearm unattended in a women's restroom at the Ohio Department of Public Safety headquarters.
Supporting law enforcement also means expecting accountability, especially from those entrusted with leading the men and women who serve.
Yes, she's SECOND-IN-COMMAND of the Columbus Police Department and she left her LOADED DUTY GUN UNATTENDED in a public restroom.
The incident occurred around 1:35 p.m. on November 3, 2026, inside the Charles D. Shipley Building on West Broad Street in Columbus.
According to authorities, the trooper discovered the unattended weapon in a first-floor restroom and immediately took steps to identify its owner.
Investigators quickly traced the firearm to Potts, who serves directly beneath Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant and holds one of the department's highest-ranking leadership positions.
The weapon was turned over to the Columbus Division of Police, and Potts later returned to the building to retrieve it.
Because officials identified the owner promptly, authorities determined that a building lockdown was unnecessary.
But the discovery has raised questions about firearm safety and accountability within the department's leadership.
Columbus police policy generally requires sworn officers to maintain immediate control of their authorized loaded firearms, with limited exceptions.
Those restrictions are intended to prevent weapons from being lost, stolen, or accessed by unauthorized individuals.
Potts joined the Columbus Division of Police in 2021 after previously serving as a captain with the Detroit Police Department.
As the department's 1st Assistant Chief, she holds a senior leadership position responsible for helping oversee police operations and personnel.
The Columbus Division of Police confirmed the incident and referred the matter to the city's Department of the Inspector General for an independent investigation.
Officials have not announced any disciplinary action, and the investigation remains ongoing.
No injuries or unauthorized access to the firearm have been reported.
Police officers are expected to follow strict firearm-handling rules, and supervisors are responsible for reinforcing those standards throughout their departments.
The overwhelming majority of law enforcement officers take firearm safety seriously every single day. Those officers deserve leadership that holds itself to the same high standards expected of the men and women serving on the front lines.

I think we need to nip this type of behavior in the bud, if we want to maintain United States way of life. We eat pork. No one said they have to eat it.

Back in 1989, a 17-year-old Elon Musk left South Africa for Canada with only about $4,000. Roughly half of that came from his father in traveler’s checks.
The other half came from his mother, Maye Musk, who had cashed out a stock account she originally opened with prize money from beauty contests.
When he landed in Montreal, he had a list of relatives he’d never met. He tried to reach one of them, only to find out the person had already left the city.
With no other options, he ended up in a youth hostel, sharing a room with five strangers. After a week there, he bought a $100 Greyhound Discovery Pass and headed to Saskatchewan to stay with his second cousin, Mark Teulon, who lived on a farm. He called Mark using the little bit of change he still had left.
Elon spent about six weeks on the farm, shoveling out grain bins and looking after the vegetables. Eventually he moved on to Vancouver in search of work.
At an employment office, most of the jobs paid around $5 an hour, but one stood out: cleaning boilers at a lumber mill for $18 an hour.
He took the higher-paying job, starting the next stretch of his time in Canada.

Harris knew. Biden knew. Pelosi knew. Schumer knew. Jeffries knew. Walz knew. Harris' election attorneys knew. Everyone in their circle knew. Musk rigged the 2024 election for Trump and some GOP members of Congress. Several experts wrote to Harris, about a week after the election, warning her of voting machine tampering and other significant irregularities. They urged her to request a recount in at least 5 states. She had 30 days to do that. Crickets. I've been presenting the evidence to all Democrats in Congress, and even Democratic governors and attorney generals, for 2 years. Crickets. This is the biggest coverup in American history, by both political parties. The Trump Regime is illegitimate and illegally wielding power to destroy America.

Democrats are going to hold Trump accountable while also delivering relief for the American people—from higher medical costs, higher grocery costs, higher gas costs, the higher cost of living

The guy refused eye contact at all costs to escape bear.
His reaction was picture perfect. A cub means mama is nearby. By standing still and making no sudden movements or attempting to run or interact with the cub, it shows he is not a threat.
You'll notice at the 0:36 mark, he actually gives a thumbs up to the person in the car. He was fully aware of the cub the entire time; he notices it right at the beginning when he turns his head. You see him go from relaxed to vigilant pretty much right away.
When the cub began jumping on him, he had to make a decision; if a cub is jumping on you, regardless of if it's curiosity or as a predatory behavior, that's all the green light mama needs to tear you apart.
And looking away, avoiding eye contact and keeping your arms as close to your body as possible is exactly the recommended course of action.
You can see perfectly well that it works – even the bear doesn’t know what to make of him as long as he stands there still, with the bear just ‘nibbling’ at him in confusion. But as soon as he moves again, the bear starts chasing after him once more.
So this bloke knows about what to do in this situation.
He is so remarkably calm even when the bear nibbles his leg.

Mali 🇲🇱: It's GREAT, a Malian economic operator, Baylal DJIGUÉ, CEO of CORRIDOR, offers 34.8 million FCFA in food to African compatriots expelled from Guinea.
A gesture of great solidarity that testifies to the bonds of brotherhood and support between the Malian and Burkinabe peoples.
This beautiful initiative deserves to be praised and shows that beyond borders, African solidarity remains a precious force. Respect to this generous donor!
He is not a Burkinabe, he is an Ivorian showing compassion to a Burkinabe .
NAME WHO YOU THINK WILL DO A BETTER JOB, PLEASE.
Anyone who votes for Jeffries or Schumer to remain in leadership positions can kiss their political careers goodbye. We're simply not having it. We The People gave you the majority. You are beholden to us. The last 10 years of Trump's Treason Train derailing America are the curtesy of not only the complicit GOP, but of AIPAC and corporate democrats who have fully enabled it. No more. We're done. Find new leaders.
