Video Shows Chicago Cop Executing Laquan McDonald in Street

“Laquan McDonald was lying in the fetal position when Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke pumped more than a dozen bullets into the 17-year-old boy’s body, killing him.  Investigators could only attribute two of the 16 shots fired by Van Dyke as striking McDonald while he was standing. The rest—as many as 14—struck McDonald as he lay wounded on the ground.  After emptying a 15-round magazine plus one bullet in the chamber, Van Dyke began to reload before being called off by his partner, who approached McDonald and kicked the knife away.”

Tamir Rice Protesters March to Prosecutor’s Home, Demand Resignation

“Protesters upset by a decision not to indict two white police officers in the shooting death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old black boy who had a pellet gun, marched to the home of the prosecutor Friday and repeated calls for him to resign.  Tamir was shot within two seconds of the officers’ police cruiser skidding to a stop near the boy.  McGinty said police radio personnel contributed to the tragedy by failing to pass along the ‘all-important fact’ that a 911 caller said the gunman was probably a juvenile and the gun probably was not real. Mayor Frank Jackson and Police Chief Calvin Williams said that as protests continue, they plan to balance public safety with protesters’ First Amendment rights.”

Chicago Grandmother Killed by Police Was ‘Being a Good Citizen’

“Two days after Bettie Jones was shot dead by Chicago police, it remains unclear why the 55-year-old grandmother of five walked to the front door of her West Side home, the spot where she became what authorities called an ‘accidental’ casualty of a ‘domestic disturbance.’  But her daughter has a theory about the one-time crossing guard. She was ‘just being a good citizen,’ Latarsha Jones told NBC News. ‘Trying to help out.’ The Jones family’s lawyer, Sam Adam Jr., assailed the authorities’ version of the incident, telling NBC News on Monday that ‘many’ shell casings were found ‘down the street’ from Jones’ home.”

Martin Shkreli’s former company KaloBios files for bankruptcy

“The move comes after Shkreli, its former CEO, was charged on December 17 in federal court with securities fraud related to a hedge fund and another company. Shkreli pleaded not guilty to the charges.  Shkreli initially gained notoriety in September when, as the chief executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals, he raised the price of Daraprim— a drug used to treat a dangerous parasitic infection— from $13.50 to $750 per pill.  The move generated harsh criticism from prominent politicians, including Hillary Clinton, and spurred a senate investigation into drug pricing.”

France’s answer to terrorism: The Law of Suspects

“Robespierre passed the ‘Law of Suspects’, allowing the government to essentially imprison anyone they wanted for any reason.  It was impossible to tell friend from foe back then; you never knew if someone was a loyalist, or a Christian, or an Austrian spy, or any number of counter-revolutionaries.  So people were required to carry special certificates indicating that they were good and dutiful citizens. Those without would be imprisoned, and potentially executed.  It turns out that ‘terrorist’ was originally a term used to describe the government officials who created and executed these oppressive tactics under the guise of keeping people safe from their enemies.”

NSA Cheerleaders Discover Value of Privacy Only When Their Own Is Violated

“The NSA under President Obama targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his top aides for surveillance. In the process, the agency ended up eavesdropping on ‘the contents of some of their private conversations with U.S. lawmakers and American-Jewish groups’ about how to sabotage the Iran Deal. All sorts of people who spent many years cheering for and defending the NSA and its programs of mass surveillance are suddenly indignant now that they know the eavesdropping included them and their American and Israeli friends rather than just ordinary people.”

Thai Man Faces 37 Years in Prison For “Insulting” the King’s Dog Online

“In America, we worry mostly only about the ‘slap on the wrist’ of probably being placed on a watch list.  A man in Thailand, however, faces 37 years in prison for criticizing the king’s dog on the internet, as well as allegedly insulting the monarchy. Thanakorn Siripaiboon, a factory worker, faced trial this week in a military court for making a ‘sarcastic’ comment about the king’s dog online. Though officials declined to cite any specific statements, CBS News reports the man shared an ‘inappropriate’ picture of the dog and liked a photo disparaging to the king.”

Brave Cop Exposes How His Dept Killed Innocent Teen Brandon Ellingson

“Anthony Piercy, who as arresting officer had both moral and legal responsibility for Ellingson’s safety, incorrectly placed a life jacket on his prisoner and then drove his patrol boat away from the scene at a high rate of speed. Ellingson was thrown from the craft when it struck a sizeable wake.  Following the familiar full-court press to prevent officer accountability, the jury in a Coroner’s Inquest ruled Ellingson’s death to be accidental. It was subsequently revealed that Amanda Grellner, the prosecutor who declined to file charges against Piercy, had received a personal favor from the MHP three years earlier when the department declined to charge her then-18-year-old son with DUI.”

Man Charged with Murder After Cop Wrecks Trying to Give Him Ticket

“Like Brandon Ellingson, James Bava died at the hands of the Missouri Highway Patrol –but in Bava’s case, those hands were his own. Trooper Bava perished on August 28 when he crashed his patrol vehicle while giving pursuit to a speeding motorcyclist, later identified as twenty-year-old Serghei Pavel Comerzan. Owing largely, if not entirely, to the privileged status of the individual who died while pursuing him, Comerzan was also charged with second-degree murder (or, alternatively, first-degree manslaughter), despite the fact that Trooper Bava’s own actions were the proximate cause of his own death.”

San Francisco arrests under review after officers’ slur-filled texts revealed

“At least 3,000 arrests in the past decade are under review in San Francisco in a widening scandal over how police officers allegedly wrote racist and homophobic text messages.  San Francisco’s top prosecutor has impaneled a trio of retired, out-of-town judges to see if bias led to wrongful prosecutions or convictions in thousands of cases investigated by a total of 14 officers.  Federal prosecutors revealed text messages among police officers including references to cross burnings and a suggestion that it would be OK to shoot a black person because it’s ‘not against the law to put an animal down.’ The task force is also investigating faulty DNA testing and prize-fighting of inmates in the county jail.”
