Banana Republics Have Nothing on New York City

Posted on by

“In a nation that incarcerates more people than any other, New York City hopes to jail a hefty proportion of its residents, too. The Daily News reports that the City now boasts more than a million ‘open bench warrants’ for such heinous ‘crimes’ as ‘drinking a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon on a West Village stoop’ and ‘walking a dog without a leash.’ The News lies somewhere to the left of Pravda, but even it marvels that an eighth of New Yorkers could languish in the pokey, which ‘number of outlaws … nearly matches the population of Dallas.'”

Police spies slept with, abandoned female targets on taxpayer dime

Posted on by

“It was not unusual for undercover operatives working for the SDS or its sister squad, the national public order unit, to have sexual relationships with women they were spying on. Of the 11 undercover police officers publicly identified, nine had intimate sexual relations with activists. Most were long-term, meaningful relationships with women who believed they were in a loving partnership.  It was all standard procedure for the SDS. Some operatives ended their deployments by pretending to have a breakdown and vanishing, supposedly to go abroad, sending a few letters to their girlfriends with foreign postmarks.”

Apparently, Perjury Isn’t a Crime When Police Commit It

Posted on by

“Last October third, a Salt Lake City SWAT team, working with a federal Drug Task Force, kicked in the door of a 76-year-old woman.  It turned out that the raiders had attacked the wrong home; the target was the house next door. An internal review learned that officer responsible for the raid, Detective Cooper Landvatter, falsified information in the affidavit filed to obtain the warrant.  Police Chief Chris Burbank imposed a 20-hour suspension on Detective Landvatter. However, the officer faces no further disciplinary action or criminal charges for committing perjury and abetting a home invasion that terrorized an elderly woman.”

“For Your Own Protection”

Posted on by

“Every day in this supposedly free country, police commit an act that was impermissible for their antecedents in imperial Rome: In the name of ‘officer safety,’ they handcuff American citizens who are not criminal suspects while conducting investigations. Police also routinely inflict summary punishment – using batons, Tasers, pepper spray, or other means – against those who resist being detained without cause. Within a few years police will have at their disposal handcuffs that can impart electrical shocks to detainees.”

Former Denver cop Hector Paez gets 8 years for assault, kidnapping

Posted on by

“Former Denver Police officer Hector Paez has been sentenced to eight years in prison for sexual assault and kidnapping, the Denver District Attorney’s Office announced Friday.   Paez, now 33, was in uniform May 16, 2010, when he came in contact with the victim, a 36-year-old woman, and ran a background check on her, finding an outstanding arrest warrant out of Jefferson County.  Paez then took the woman to an isolated area and coerced her into ‘performing a sexual act to avoid being taken to jail,’ the DA’s office said when charges were filed.”

Ex-sheriff charged with drug distribution, selling guns from evidence

Posted on by

“A former sheriff is due in court Monday for a pre-trial hearing. Former Carter County Sheriff Tommy Adams is charged with two felonies of distribution of a controlled substance, for methamphetamine and cocaine. He’s also charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Adams pleaded guilty in April 2012 to federal charges for stealing firearms that had been seized as evidence, then selling some of them. Adams’ former deputy, former Carter County Deputy Steffanie Kearbey, pleaded guilty to the same federal charges.”

Texas cop fired for shooting 41 times at suspect, killing him

Posted on by

“A Texas police officer who fired 41 shots at a chase suspect in August has been fired.  Michael Allen, 25, was shot and killed after a high-speed chase that began in Garland and ended in Mesquite, Texas. Allen was wanted on suspicion of eluding police in Sasche a few days earlier.  Garland police spokesman Officer Joe Harn said Tuter violated the department’s general order of use of force and its pursuit protocol.  The department at first said that Tuter opened fire in fear of his life, but dashboard camera video raised concerns after it showed that Tuter had rammed Allen’s truck and fired 41 shots after he cornered Allen. Tuter reloaded twice, police said.”

Wash. state bill allows police to search students without parental consent

Posted on by

“A Washington state bill, S.B. 5618, that would allow police officers, or ‘school resource officers,’ to search students without probable cause or parental consent, passed the State Senate Monday, 30-19.  The legislation would allow police to search a student’s person, locker and possessions if they are believed to be violating the law or any school rule. Currently under Washington state law, if a school employee has a reasonable suspicion to search a student, they have the right, but a police officer serving as a school resource officer cannot search a student without probable cause.”

Balkanization of Syrian War

Posted on by

Balkanization of Syrian War

“Today the UK Telegraph is reporting that the United States has facilitated the shipment of some 3,000 tons of weapons left over from the Balkan wars of the 1990s to Syria via Croatia.  This radical escalation on the part of the US and UK is in clear violation of the European arms embargo of Syria and similar US administration pledges.  And where are these weapons ending up?  The US is facilitating the transfer of sophisticated weapons to terrorists who utilize al-Qaeda in Iraq style techniques such as planting roadside bombs.  Here are Syria’s jihadist fighters showing off their latest gifts courtesy of the United States.”
