It looks like Cunningham stopped drinking Bud Light.
From the Stoneridge Tactical Academy Instagram account: David Cunningham
Let’s talk about David Cunningham, who owns Stoneridge
Tactical Academy. According to the website, Cunningham “began his training in
1991 as a member of law enforcement having worked for the Jackson County
Narcotics Enforcement Team and then becoming president of his department's
police association for two years. He was a Field Training Officer with the
department and trained other officers in such subjects as defensive tactics,
high-risk felony stops, report writing, use of force, search and seizure, and
evidence handling, and was a Certified Child Abuse Investigator and a Certified
Death Investigator.” (https://www.stoneridgetactical.com/)
Cunningham retired and opened his “academy,” cultivating a
loyal following of Gravy SEALs, Meal Team Sixers and other Oath Keeper/III
Percenter types. He’s fairly active on social media. He's not afraid to speak
his opinion: My first encounter with him was years ago, when the Medford Public
Library was promoting their first comic Con and Cunningham used that
opportunity to troll and mock cosplayers and fans.
When KOBI 5 posted their story about the Rogue River family
harassed and intimidated by a bigot, Cunningham – as “stoneridgetactical” – weighed
in.
When one person commented: “Why do people’s sexual
preferences affect others? Literally makes no sense it’s almost like their own
secret desires and ways of life are what’s really bothering them. I’d be more
concerned about our government and media selling children and freaking letting
kids get married at 13 with old pedophiles. Literally makes no sense is it that
hard to let people be with someone they love as long as they are of legal age
and an adult. There is bigger fish to fry makes no sense as to why people are
blind to their own ignorance.”
Cunningham responded:
stoneridgetactical: “You’re quite delusional. What they do
in their own homes is none of my biz. When they bring my kids into it or
attempt to shove it down my throat is when they lose me! Nice try on the false
flag or straw man argument. You'll get better at it when you grow up.”
To another commenter, Cunningham said:
stoneridgetactical: “They can put crap like this up. It does
not protect them from any repercussions though. No legal protection there.
Sorry.”
Imagine being a victim of a bigot and their aggressive
actions and Lt. Cunningham arrives on scene. Given his attitude towards the
LGBTQ+ community, would he take the situation seriously?
Take a look at some posts from his own Facebook page and
make your own decisions.
And ask him about it.
