DETAILS: Track Palin’s Arrest Is MUCH Worse Than Originally Reported


According to the police report published by Gawker, the Wasilla police were called to the scene – a home owned by Sarah and Todd Palin – after they received an emergency call from a woman who claimed to had been punched in the face by a man with a gun. Then another call was received by Track Palin who claimed that the woman who had called before him was intoxicated.

Andrew Kappler was the Officer assigned to the scene and for filing the report. Upon arriving at the house, Kappler saw Palin outside talking on his cellphone with what appeared to be a “visible injury” to his right eye. Palin’s eyes were apparently bloodshot and he smelled of alcohol. Palin was “uncooperative, belligerent and evasive.” Due to Palin’s “escalating hostility” and the victim’s “unknown whereabouts,” Kappler had no choice but to put Palin under arrest.

The other officers assigned to the scene soon found the victim after arresting Palin. She was found “hiding and crying underneath a bed inside the residence” and told the officers that earlier that evening Palin had been extremely violent and hit her near the eye with his fist. Palin then held a rifle to his head and threatened to commit suicide.

Note: the victim’s last name has been redacted for safety purposes.

The events are explained as per the police report, here:

“She and her boyfriend of one year, Track Palin, left a different residence together and were arguing the whole way home. Once they got to his home they argued in the car, then in the driveway . They were screaming and he was calling her names. (Redacted] told Palin that she had called the cops even though she had not, in attempt to calm him down and to scare him away from “touching her”. Palin approached (Redacted] and struck her on the left side of her head near her eye with a closed fist. (Redacted] got on the ground in a fetal position because she didn’t know what else he would do. Palin then kicked (redacted] on the right knee. (Redacted]’s phone was sitting on the ground in front of her. Palin took her phone and threw it across the driveway. She retrieved the phone and went inside the house. Palin was already inside and holding onto a gun, yelling “do you think I’m a pussy?” and “do you think I won’t do it?” (Redacted] stated Palin “cocked the gun” and was holding the rifle out next to him with the his right hand near the trigger and his left hand near the barrel, with the barrel just away from his face pointed to the side. (Redacted] was concerned that he would shoot himself and ran outside and around the house. She didn’t see where Palin went, so she went inside and up the stairs, where she hid under a bed. Shortly after, she heard Palin walking around inside looking for her. Palin left after not locating her.”

PDST on Obama when this was a George W Bush war, many returned home without treatment during the Bush Administration. This person needs help and not a mother who blames the wrong one. If she doesn't want her son committing suicide she needs to change her tactics and get treatment for him. When one has thoughts of suicide many times they become completers.

that gun would be already in the hands of police. The cops take them in domestic violence cases at the time of arrest. And he wouldn't get it back unless he was aquittted or completes court requirements and or treatment.

What happens when Bristol gets pregnant again?

Sarah Palin Blames Obama for Bristol Getting Pregnant for Third Time (Satire)

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Today, former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin announced her daughter Bristol was pregnant for a third time, and blamed President Obama for destroying the Christian values of America and not stopping men from getting her daughter "babyfied." All three of Bristol Palin's children will have a different father, and none one of those fathers are married to Bristol, despite Sarah Palin's heavily espoused conservative Christian values.

+

Palin continued, "This, you know, Obama-lama-ding-dong-Muslim community organizer is destroying America and freedom-lovin' buffs who just love freedom, and liberty, and America, and McDonald's, but maybe Arby's, like phony conservatives, and such as."

quoting the beauty queen and adding it to the (satirical) Palin quote and thus pointing out that they both sound about the same.

Made me laugh.

Re: the beauty queen: I guess I'm mean, I attributed it to something other than just being young and terrifed: I just thought she was really ignorant, probably spent more time studying makeup than reading books.

But maybe she had evil parents that pushed her into it? I should have thought of that, my bad. Either way, the poor girl is comedy history now. My 2 cents

I'm just kidding. I don't know what happened to this guy in Iraq, but for Sarah to blame Obama, while it's her party which loves war, then blames the Democrats is expected.

It's what they do. No group complains more than the right wing. Hell, they have that group in Oregon plowing up a nature preserve and getting away with it. Armed and white makes right. And they claim they had no choice. They love the constitution and fight against it at the same time.

Fuck their phrase, "personal responsibility". It's a joke. They blame everyone else for their own problems, and their own votes which have screwed America. I guess as long as they keep yelling freedom, they will never know how much they fucked the country they claim to love.

“Palin stated that he didn’t know where she was and denied that there was a firearm involved, but did state that there were several spread throughout the residence,” Kappler wrote. “Due to Palin’s escalating hostility, the unknown whereabouts of the female 911 caller, and Officer safety, Palin was placed into handcuffs.”



Officers found “the involved firearm,” an unloaded AR-15, and “observed Loewe to have bruising and swelling around her left eye” as well as “a small red area near her knee.”


https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/01/20/sarah-palins-son-track-arrested-at-her-home-girlfriend-concerned-he-would-shoot-himself/


So I want to know 2 things:

First does Sarah think her son should still be allowed access to weapons and is she going to lock up hers that are "spread throughout the residence" ??

Second what did Track do in the service? Can any of his fellow soldiers confirm anything that would give him PTSD?
