“You Know How to Leave”: Scenes from a Police Riot in Idaho Falls

“You Know How to Leave”: Scenes from a Police Riot in Idaho Falls

“The initial police contact – to investigate a noise complaint, recall – occurred at around 10:49 PM. Within about twenty minutes, the air was thick with shouting and screaming, and a fleet of about a dozen police cars had converged on the address. Lund’s attack on Dindo left the living room floor filled with shattered furniture. So in the interests of preserving the ‘peace,’ Lund and his costumed buddies assaulted two unresisting men, committed felonious battery on a 79-year-old woman and a pregnant mother, destroyed property, terrorized a completely innocent next-door neighbor, and disrupted an entire city block.  The Madrigals were able to post unedited video of most of the episode on-line.”

Police Officer Fired for Repeated Use of Taser on Senior With Alzheimer’s

“Doug Martin, an officer in Peru, Ind., had been summoned to Miller’s Merry Manor on June 17, 2012, after a nurse called 911 for help in transporting a patient who had hit his roommate, a nurse and a nursing assistant.  Martin and his partner, Officer Jeremy Brindle, entered the Alzheimer’s ward to find 64-year-old James Howard sitting in a chair, wearing socks and nothing else. Howard refused the officers’ command to lie on a gurney and advanced toward Brindle, who tried to handcuff Howard.  When Brindle lost control of one of Howard’s wrists, Martin yelled ‘Taser’ and deployed it on Howard’s torso. Martin zapped Howard five times for a total of 31 seconds.”

Police Cruiser Slams Into Couple On Bike, Couple Flies Over Trooper’s Car

Police Cruiser Slams Into Couple On Bike, Couple Flies Over Trooper’s Car

“A cop’s dash-cam shows him slamming his car into a couple on a motorcycle. The impact was extremely violent and you can see the couple go flying.  After the office realized what happens he stops his car and gets out. He then go out of his car and the video shows it looks like he seemed to be more concerned with his car than the couple he just seriously injured.  He very calmly asked ‘You Alright’, then he checked on his vehicle a few times.”

NYPD shoot at man with finger gun, hit elderly woman with walker, others

“Two bystanders were shot by New York police officers who were trying to subdue what NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly called ‘an emotionally disturbed man.’  ‘This individual was blocking traffic and appeared to be attempting to be hit by cars when a police officer on foot patrol attempted to take him into custody in the intersection,’ Com. Kelly said. At that time, according to a witness who spoke toThe Daily News, the unidentified man started ‘pretending that he had a gun’ and ‘aimed it at the cops.’ The cops fired three shots, none of which hit the suspect. However, an unidentified 54-year-old woman in a walker was struck in the right leg, and a 35-year-old woman was grazed in the buttocks.”

Charlotte police kill man running to them for help

“Police in North Carolina shot and killed a man running toward them Saturday morning — but he may have just been looking for help after a car wreck.  Officers responded to a ‘breaking and entering’ 911 call at a home in Charlotte.  The homeowner told dispatchers that a man had been knocking on her door repeatedly.  Police say that when they got to the scene, a man matching the caller’s description ran toward them.  One of the officers fired his stun gun, but it was ‘unsuccessful.’ Another officer then opened fire, police said. Jonathan Ferrell died at the scene. He was shot several times.  He was unarmed. Police now believe Ferrell was seeking assistance after crashing his car.”

Boston bomb victims who cash survivor checks lose state health insurance

“Months after the Boston Marathon bombing, J.P. Norden is still recovering from losing his leg, but he can’t cash a $1.2 million check provided to survivors because he would lose his state health insurance for the poor.  Norden, and his brother Paul, both had legs amputated and received identical checks as part of the $60 million being distributed by One Fund charity. They told The Washington Post that they are very aware they would quickly use up the $1.2 million with their ongoing medical expenses.”

Gov. Standards Agency Suggests Dropping NSA-Influenced Algorithm

“Documents provided by Edward Snowden suggest that the NSA has heavily influenced the standard, which has been used around the world.  In its statement Tuesday, NIST acknowledged that the NSA participates in creating cryptography standards ‘because of its recognized expertise’ and because NIST is required by law to consult with the spy agency.  Various versions of Microsoft Windows, including those used in tablets and smartphones, contain implementations of the standard, though the NSA-influenced portion isn’t enabled by default.”
