“We’re Really Not Apologetic” for two killings, say Texas’ Airborne Snipers

Posted on by

“On Tuesday, a grand jury decided not to indict a Texas trooper who had killed two unarmed Guatemalan immigrants after shooting them from a helicopter last year. A police officer in a helicopter shot at a nonviolent suspect and killed two innocent men, and his actions were deemed defensible because the DPS gave him authority to do so.  Before he fell under intense scrutiny, McCraw had expressed no remorse for putting people on the ground in danger while using lethal force against a nonviolent suspect. A few months before the incident, he had told interviewers, ‘We’re really not apologetic about it. We’ve got an obligation to protect our men and women when we’re trying to protect Texas.'”

Licensed to Kill: Growing Phenomenon of Police Shooting Unarmed Citizens

Posted on by

AGOW_WebAD_Small2

“This mindset that any challenge to police authority is a threat that needs to be ‘neutralized’ is a dangerous one that is part of a greater nationwide trend that sets law enforcement officers beyond the reach of the Fourth Amendment. Equally problematic is the trend in the courts that acquits officers involved in such shootings, letting them off with barely a slap to the wrists.  What exactly are we teaching these young officers in the police academy when the slightest thing, whether it be a hand in a pocket, a man running towards them, a flashlight on a keychain, or a dehumanizing stare can ignite a strong enough ‘fear for their safety’ to justify firing on an unarmed person?”

Police Are More Dangerous To The Public Than Are Criminals

Posted on by

withkitties_150_1202

“The American public is too brainwashed to be able to defend itself. Consider the fact that cops seldom face any consequence when they murder citizens. We never hear cops called ‘citizen killer.’ But if a citizen kills some overbearing cop bully, the media go ballistic: ‘Cop killer, cop killer.’ The screaming doesn’t stop until the cop killer is executed.  As long as a brainwashed public continues to accept that cop lives are more precious than their own, citizens will continue to be brutalized and murdered by police psychopaths.”

Secret terrorism court orders declassification of its own rulings

Posted on by

“Court cases before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court — the court that reviews requests by the NSA to wiretap suspected terrorists’ communications — are generally classified. But Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ordered the government to review the court’s opinions on the meaning, scope, and constitutionality of Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which authorizes the government to obtain ‘any tangible things’ relevant to foreign-intelligence or terrorism investigations. Section 215 is the legal basis the NSA claims legitimizes its mass phone records collection program.”

Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri calls for U.S. attacks and economic boycott

Posted on by

“‘We should bleed America economically by provoking it to continue in its massive expenditure on its security, for the weak point of America is its economy, which has already begun to stagger due to the military and security expenditure,’ Zawahiri said according to the SITE translation.  ‘And keeping America in tension and anticipation only costs a few disparate attacks here and there, meaning as we defeated it in the gang warfare in Somalia, Yemen, Iraq and Afghanistan, so we should follow it with that war on its own land,’ he added.”

Profiles in Pork

Posted on by

“One doesn’t have to sign up for law enforcement work as a Hail Mary way to avoid poverty, or the gulag . . . or the gas chamber.  So, what sort of person chooses to become a law enforcer – and remains one – when it is still possible to avoid such a dirty occupation? An occupation that, as a matter of routine, puts one in the position of rousting – and caging – people who’ve done nothing that can be characterized as causing harm to others (or their property)?  Who have merely run afoul of ‘the law’?  There seem to be four general types.”

Bill Bonner: “Thank You, TSA, NSA, IRS, FBI and CIA!”

Posted on by

Bill-Bonner2

“It’s been ‘Bureaucrat Appreciation Week.’ Just when we had lost all respect for them, we notice a countertrend. It’s time for us to get in step. So, today, we take time out from our regularly scheduled programming to thank the people who rule us… To the TSA agents at airports… to the IRS agents who audit our tax returns… to the NSA agents who read our emails… and to zombies everywhere… To all of you, we’d like to say a heartfelt ‘Go f***k yourself.’  Respect for authority is cyclical. And presently, the authorities are enjoying an upswing. People look to the feds to get things they can’t get on their own. Health care paid for by someone else… a retirement they can’t afford… and foolish pride they don’t deserve.”

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer defends tech company NSA cooperation

Posted on by

“Mayer said she was ‘proud to be part of an organisation that from the beginning, in 2007, has been sceptical of – and has been scrutinizing – those requests [from the NSA].’  Yahoo has previously unsuccessfully sued the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court, which provides the legal framework for NSA surveillance. In 2007 it asked to be allowed to publish details of requests it receives from the spy agency. ‘When you lose and you don’t comply, it’s treason,’ said Mayer. ‘We think it make more sense to work within the system,’ she said.  The meeting came as Yahoo and Facebook filed suits once more to force the Fisa court to allow them to disclose more information.”

A war the Pentagon doesn’t want

Posted on by

“They are embarrassed to be associated with the amateurism of the Obama administration’s attempts to craft a plan that makes strategic sense. None of the White House staff has any experience in war or understands it. So far, at least, this path to war violates every principle of war, including the element of surprise, achieving mass and having a clearly defined and obtainable objective. They are repelled by the hypocrisy of a media blitz that warns against the return of Hitlerism but privately acknowledges that the motive for risking American lives is our ‘responsibility to protect’ the world’s innocents.”

The Pine Bluff PD: From Merely Dysfnctional to Downright Deadly

Posted on by

“No tactical genius is necessary to bring about a bloodless end to a standoff involving a 107-year-old man armed with a handgun and surrounded by police officers inside an otherwise vacant house. All that is necessary is a willingness on the part of the officers to accept a minimal amount of risk, and a time horizon longer than a half hour. In fact, only someone with a perverse appetite for gratuitous bloodshed could arrange to end that confrontation with the violent death of the centenarian suspect. As it happens, the valiant men of the Pine Bluff, Arkansas Police Department’s SWAT team were equal to that task. That’s why 107-year-old Monroe Isadore was killed in a torrent of gunfire on September 7.”
