A Bartlesville officer then shot and killed her.”

Posted on by

“An exclusive analysis of data from the 50 largest local police departments in the United States shows that police shoot Americans more than twice as often as previously known.  Police shootings aren’t just undercounted — police in these departments shoot black people at a higher rate and shoot unarmed people far more often than any data has shown.”

It’s time we saw economic sanctions for what they really are – war crimes

Posted on by

“The record of economic sanctions in forcing political change is dismal, but as a way of reducing a country to poverty and misery it is difficult to beat. It is time that the imposition of economic sanctions should be seen as a war crime, since it involves the collective punishment of millions of innocent civilians who die, sicken or are reduced to living off scraps from the garbage dumps.”

Posted on by

“Many of the heavily-armed activists who flocked to the scene feared that the FBI snipers had a license to kill the Bundys. Their reaction cannot be understood without considering a landmark 1990s case that continues to shape millions of Americans’ attitude towards Washington: the federal killings and coverups at Ruby Ridge.”

Can Government Officials Have You Arrested for Speaking to Them?

Posted on by

“If a citizen speaks at a public meeting and says something a politician doesn’t like, can the citizen be arrested, cuffed, and carted off to the hoosegow?  Suppose that, during this fraught encounter, the citizen violates some law—even by accident, even one no one has ever heard of, even one dug up after the fact—does that make her arrest constitutional?  Deyshia Hargrave, meet Fane Lozman. You need to follow his case.”

Orgies, devil men, knife-wielding maniacs: A history of cannabis in California

Posted on by

“California was home to the Haight-Ashbury counterculture movement, the Grateful Dead and Cheech & Chong. It’s also the home state of Richard Nixon, who birthed the modern drug war, and Ronald Reagan, the president who made Nixon’s war metaphor all too literal. Today, we’ll look at cannabis in California up until about the late 1960s.”

Supreme Court Refuses To Review ‘Knock-and-Talk’ Police Killings

Posted on by

“Although ‘knock-and-talk’ policing has become a thinly veiled, warrantless—lethal—exercise by which citizens are coerced and intimidated into ‘talking’ with heavily armed police who ‘knock’ on their doors in the middle of the night, the Supreme Court will not make the government play by the rules of the Constitution.  The lesson to be learned: the U.S. Supreme Court will not save us.  No one is coming to save us: not the courts, not the legislatures, and not the president.”

Teacher arrested for bringing up admin salary at school board meeting

Posted on by

“The video then shows the woman on the floor in the hallway, where she is being handcuffed behind the back by the marshal. The marshal asks the teacher to ‘stop resisting’ and escorts her from the building.  Outside the building, the marshal tells her she is being arrested for refusing to leave and resisting arrest.  Fontana, the board president, told NBC News that Hargrave had violated meeting policies, by taking up extra time and asking questions during a public comment section.”
