Miami-Dade Police Choke Black Teenager Because He Was Giving Them “Dehumanizing Stares”

Posted on by

“Fourteen-year-old Tremaine McMillian didn’t threaten police. He didn’t attack them. He wasn’t armed. All the black teenager did was appear threatening by shooting Miami-Dade police officers a few ‘dehumanizing stares,’ and that was apparently enough for the officers to decide to slam him against the ground and put him in a chokehold. McMillian says he was carrying a six-week old puppy at the time and couldn’t have been clenching his fists because he was feeding the dog with a bottle. He claims that during the confrontation the dog’s front left paw was injured.  The teen was charged with a felony count of resisting arrest with violence and disorderly conduct.”

Woman Handing Out Samples at Va. Costco Shot Dead by Police

Posted on by

“A Sterling, Va., Costco has resumed normal business hours Thursday, less than a day after sheriff’s deputies fatally shot a woman who came at officers with scissors and a knife. The melee began at about 3 p.m. Wednesday, when store employees noticed the woman acting oddly while handing out pizza samples, said Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman.  Deputies were called to the store to handle the disturbance. One officer tried to use a stun gun on Scott, but Chapman said the stun gun ‘did not work,’ and one of the deputies fatally shot her. A sheriff’s deputy also was wounded in the leg, possibly by a ricochet.  The only shots fired were by one of the deputies.”

Police Shoot & Kill Grandfather While Responding To False Burglar Alarm

Police Shoot & Kill Grandfather While Responding To Burglary Call

“A 72-year-old Woodhaven resident fatally shot by police officers investigating a burglary call was pronounced dead inside his garage, the Tarrant County medical examiner said Wednesday. Police have said that two patrol officers encountered an armed Jerry Waller at the back of his house ‘near the garage-driveway area.’ They have not specifically said where Waller was when he was shot. But Waller’s son, Chris Waller, said in an email to the Star-Telegram that the police account of the shooting is inaccurate. ‘My father never stepped outside of his garage. He was shot multiple times in the chest only a few steps away from the doorway to his kitchen,’ Chris Waller said.”

Man who knew Boston bombing suspect was unarmed when killed by FBI during questioning

Posted on by
“A Chechen man who was fatally shot by an FBI agent last week during an interview about one of the Boston bombing suspects was unarmed, law enforcement officials said Wednesday. An air of mystery has surrounded the FBI shooting of Ibragim Todashev, 27, since it occurred in Todashev’s apartment early on the morning of May 22. The FBI said in a news release that day that Todashev, a former Boston resident who knew bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed during an interview with several law enforcement officers.  The FBI has provided few other details, saying that the matter is being investigated by an FBI review team.”

Imprisoned CIA Torture Whistleblower John Kiriakou Pens “Letter from Loretto”

Posted on by

“Greetings from the Federal Correctional Institution at Loretto, Pennsylvania. I arrived here on February 28, 2013 to serve a 30-month sentence for violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982. At least that’s what the government wants people to believe. In truth, this is my punishment for blowing the whistle on the CIA’s illegal torture program and for telling the public that torture was official U.S. government policy. But that’s a different story. The purpose of this letter is to tell you about prison life.”

Chinese hackers jeopardize secrecy of U.S. weapons programs

Posted on by

“Chinese hackers have gained access to secret designs for a slew of sophisticated US weapons programs, officials said Tuesday, possibly jeopardizing the American military’s technological edge. The breaches were part of a broad Chinese campaign of espionage against top US defense contractors and government agencies, officials said, confirming a Washington Post account of a Pentagon report. The Defense Science Board, a senior advisory group with government and civilian experts, concluded that digital hackers had gained access to designs for two dozen major weapons systems critical to missile defenses, combat aircraft and naval ships.”

Israeli defense chief indicates if Russia ships advanced missiles to Syria, they could be hit

Posted on by

“Israel’s defense chief said Tuesday a Russian plan to supply sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles to Syria was a ‘threat’ and signaled that Israel is prepared to use force to stop the delivery. The warning by Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon ratcheted up tensions with Moscow over the planned sale of S-300 air-defense missiles to Syria. Earlier in the day, a top Russian official said his government remained committed to the deal.  Israel has been lobbying Moscow to halt the sale, fearing the missiles would upset the balance of power in the region and could slip into the hands of hostile groups, including the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, a close ally of the Syrian regime.”

The EU Joins the Syrian War More Directly

Posted on by

thelrcblog-5002

“U.S. Secretary of State Kerry went to Europe urging that the European Union drop its embargo on shipments of heavy arms into the hands of the Syrian rebels. Are we surprised that the EU has now done exactly that? The article says ‘British Foreign Secretary William Hague says the amended embargo puts pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to seek a non-military solution to more than two years of fighting.’ Remember that a political process occurred in February of 2012 when a new Syrian constitution was passed overwhelmingly. The EU’s decision affirms that the EU intends violently to overthrow Assad in violation of their oaths in the U.N.”

Senator Menendez Calls for More Dead Bodies

Posted on by

thelrcblog-5002

“There are no vital national interests at stake in Syria. None. Not Iran, not Israel and not oil. Yes, we can watch from the sidelines and let the Iranians and Syrians form their own politics. This is what the U.S. did with Mexico and Canada. Did the U.S. relish interference from Spain, France, Great Britain and Russia into its affairs? How brainless is it to act as if the refugee crisis is an independent reason for intervening, when it is an outcome of the war itself, encouraged every step of the way by the U.S.? And why must the U.S. rectify this tragedy? What good is a ‘freedom’ that marches us off to wars willy-nilly or grabs our wealth to do what it wills?”

Why John McCain Wants to Aid Lung-Eating Syrian Terrorists

Posted on by

antiwar_logo4

“He told us the invasion and occupation of Iraq would be ‘fairly easy.’ He pontificated that the anthrax attacks were delivered by the Iraqis. His preferred policy for Afghanistan: we should ‘muddle through,’ rather than withdraw. When the North Koreans started acting out, he averred we ought to threaten them with ‘extinction.’ And when Russia and the former Soviet republic of Georgia got into an armed conflict over the breakaway province of South Ossetia, McCain announced ‘Today, We Are All Georgians’ and demanded we go to war with Moscow. He thinks Iran is training Al Qaeda: he also thinks Iraq shares a border with Pakistan.”
