I mean wow. Seriously? I’m at a loss of where to start on this quote from Rep Henry Waxman……
Why would you be nervous about people protecting their rights with weapons unless you were one of the people trying to take away those rights?
If people are arming themselves to defend they’re rights from the government (which they should be) shouldn’t Rep Waxman and his fellow Congressmen question how well they’re carrying out their sworn duty to uphold and defend the Constitution?
What about the militarized local and federal law enforcement? That makes me pretty nervous and I’m a law abiding citizen. Anyone who reads Reddit.com knows these guys accidentally kill, assault, taser, or otherwise harm people daily, not to mention all the people they frame and falsely arrest.
The Mayor of Cleveland has decided that even though he believes that cracking down on drug-dealers withguns will cause more violence in the streets, it will be worth it in the long run.
Mayor Frank Jackson doesn’t want to see more deadly car chases and shootouts between cops and suspects, but under his new police plan, he expects them.
Jackson told the police this week to be more aggressive in targeting gun-toting drug dealers. He has said repeatedly that he expects there to be violent, perhaps deadly, run-ins between police and criminals.
“This is not a game,” Jackson said Wednesday. “People are killing each other. We expect more confrontations.”
I’m going to cut the buffer out of this article and give you the really juicy stuff:
In a video, Beeland is seen backing away and avoiding Wright, then crumpling to the ground after being hit with the Taser.
Wright was not disciplined, and police Chief Mike Chitwood defended her actions. Beeland was refusing an officer’s orders, and using a Taser avoided use of other weapons, he said.
Backing away. Not running, not attacking, just backing away in fear of the police officer. And what “other weapons” do police use on people that haven’t done anything and wrong and are backing away?
Police verified Beeland, 35, was using her own credit card, but she was arrested on two misdemeanors, disorderly conduct and resisting a police officer without violence. She has since pleaded not guilty, and state prosecutors are reviewing whether to pursue the case.
And police should never check first to see if someone was doing something wrong before ordering them around and tasering them. And resisting with out force? Are you fucking kidding me? And what reason does this person have to comply with the police in the first place? She wasn’t doing anything wrong. And the prosecutor needs time to review this case? Shouldn’t they be filing assault charges against the officer?
Fox News interviewed Daytona Police Chief Mike Chitwood, who defended his officer’s actions, but said that the incident was being investigated. He also admitted the woman never threatened the police officer, but the “force continuum” allows for stunning if “their actions force the officer to use physical maneuvers to establish control.”
She never threatened the officer but he may have had to use “physical maneuvers” (whatever the fuck that means) so instead he just tased her.
Chitwood said that the woman wasn’t complying to demands from an officer and called it “passive physical resistance.”
Not complying with demands? Why should she? She was talking on her phone minding her own business. And what kind of Orwellian mind fuck is “passive physical resistance”?? Seriously?
There was one major problem with the Santa Clara County crime lab report that implicated a San Jose man of sexual assault:
It wasn’t true.
The document was a fake, created by a San Jose police detective. The crime lab analyst who purportedly prepared the document doesn’t exist. The number used to identify it was false.
Even so, detective Matthew Christian testified as though the phony report were authentic.
The case unraveled when the defense attorney sought the résumé of the lab analyst, only to learn there was no such person. Christian then remembered that he had concocted the report in an attempt to trick the defendant, Michael Kerkeles, 54, into admitting that he had forced a developmentally disabled neighbor into sexual acts. It was an acceptable tactic. But Christian said that by the time he was called to testify, more than a year later, he had forgotten the ruse.
The case, which attracted no public attention when it was dismissed last December, has raised concerns both about how the charges were handled and about how police and prosecutors responded when the fabrication and false testimony was discovered.
San Jose police Capt. Andy Galea said last week that after this incident, the department had banned detectives from using ruse crime lab reports when questioning suspects. He declined to say what discipline, if any, Christian received.
Prosecutors said they had referred the case to an internal committee that reviews cases involving allegations of potential criminal conduct by police officers. That committee, headed by Assistant District Attorney David Tomkins, concluded that the matter amounted to an honest mistake by the officer, Chief Assistant District Attorney Marc Buller said last week.
“We all make mistakes,” Buller said.
Are you fucking kidding me? Framing someone has become an honest mistake for a police detective? Did we skip Fascism and go straight to banana fucking republic or what?
Of course this has nothing to do with the Orwellian Police State that America is becoming, these nice folks just want to keep the sexual predators away from the children:
The idea, according to Jack Colley, is to keep sex offenders and others who may be wanted by police off the same buses used by the most vulnerable during an evacuation: the elderly, disabled residents and children.
What’s even better is that this really nice trustworthy telecom company called AT&T is going to provide electronic bracelets for everyone so they don’t get lost:
Earlier this month, it was announced AT&T Inc. has contracted with the Texas Governor’s Division of Emergency Management to provide electronic wristbands for those residents wanting them, before they board an evacuation bus.
The wristbands would be scanned by emergency management officials and the person’s name would be added to a bus boarding log. That person’s name and their bus information would be sent wirelessly to the University of Texas Center for Space Research data center.
When the evacuee arrives at a designated shelter, the wristband would be scanned again to help state employees respond to inquiries from the public about the safety and location of evacuated family members.
The decision to wear a wristband is purely voluntary. But anyone who boards an evacuation bus will have to provide a name. There will be no requirement to show an identification card, such as a driver’s license, but officials may ask those boarding for an ID.
Oh, and you don’t have to show ID to anyone even though some jack booted thug will be ‘asking’ for it.
Come on people, the only difference between what’s being described here and what happened to the Jews in Germany is that these guys are much more organized and they’ve got better technology which makes them that much scarier.
According to The Boston Globe the new program will be targeting high crime neighborhoods (i.e. black and hispanic) under the premise that parents are not only scared about gun violence, but to respecting of their children’s privacy to search there rooms themselves. Luckily for concerned parents our police do not have such qualms about violating anyones privacy.
From the article:
In the next two weeks, Boston police officers who are assigned to schools will begin going to homes where they believe teenagers might have guns. The officers will travel in groups of three, dress in plainclothes to avoid attracting negative attention, and ask the teenager’s parent or legal guardian for permission to search. If the parents say no, police said, the officers will leave.
For those of you who missed it the Boston Police Department has just announced that they are actively profiling our children while they are in school (i.e. Government Indoctrination Center).
To show their mercy the police have decided not to charge anyone for firearm possession. How kind of them for not prosecuting us for exercising our Constitutionally Protected Rights, don’t you just love them?
If officers find a gun, police said, they will not charge the teenager with unlawful gun possession, unless the firearm is linked to a shooting or homicide.
Even in Soviet Russia and in China today you don’t see the cops announcing these programs, they just did/do it. How far we’ve fallen now, our masters openly announce the wholesale destruction of the Constitution and we just take it.
“I just have a queasy feeling anytime the police try to do an end run around the Constitution,” said Thomas Nolan, a former Boston police lieutenant who now teaches criminology at Boston University. “The police have restrictions on their authority and ability to conduct searches. The Constitution was written with a very specific intent, and that was to keep the law out of private homes unless there is a written document signed by a judge and based on probable cause. Here, you don’t have that.”
I wouldn’t call the feeling I get queasiness. I think it’s a lot more like utter contempt for the criminals running our government and their minions.
This is the opening paragraph from a story on WCBSTV.com:
Surveillance cameras rolling inside our local schools is nothing new, but what’s taking place inside Demarest’s public schools is truly cutting edge: a live feed from more than two dozen cameras with a direct connection to the police.
This is not freedom, or anything close to this. Dictatorial Governments of history dreamed of doing the kind of surveillance that is now commonly accepted as ok, let alone the things that are being pushed for now.
You’ll continue to get exactly the amount of this kind of tyranny you’re willing to accept. It’s completely up to you. How much more tyranny are you willing to live with?
Go ahead and watch the first part, until the reporter and cameraman cross the street, then skip to about 7:40 and you’ll see what happens when they go back across.
This is what happens in America? The police make up the law as they go?
Cops like these need to be dealt such swift justice as to set an example for other law enforcement that we, the American People will not accept their tyranny. If our courts will not provide such justice then we must take it into our own hands as people and deliver that justice ourselves.
In this video you will see a police officer on a bike attack peaceful protesters. At the end if is pointed out that one of the “protesters” is actually an undercover police officer.
Secret police infiltrating protest groups is not okay. This is tyranny.
