And so it begins: ATF to begin policing in NYC

“In an unprecedented move, a federal agency is joining the effort to get gun crimes under control, CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported Monday.

Kramer is told it was a collective decision made by the federal government, the NYPD, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Those agencies are mounting a first-ever anti-gun initiative in high-crime areas.

“There’s going to be an increase in federal arrests – no doubt,” said AFT agent Charles Mulham.

Mulham’s words were intended to be a stiff warning to city residents who would carry weapons, and seem all to ready to use them. They will not only have to deal with the NYPD, but they will have the feds on their tail too.”

Here it comes, the federal police force. I am sure that this is justthe pilot program. Expect Baltimore ,Ddetroit and St. Louis next.

I’m ready for tyranny 2016!

Paul Ryan: You have to pass it before you can read it.

“What Ryan is trying to convince House Republicans to do is vote for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) which would fast-track at least three highly secretive trade deals—specifically the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP)—and potentially more deals.

Right now, TiSA and T-TIP text are completely secretive and unavailable for even members of Congress to read while TPP text is available for members to review—although they need to go to a secret room inside the Capitol where only members of Congress and certain staffers high-level security clearances, who can only go when members are present, can read the bill.”

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/11/paul-ryans-pelosi-esque-obamatrade-moment-its-declassified-and-made-public-once-its-agreed-to/

There is nothing the fuck wrong with this at all. What could possibly be wrong with classified trade deals that the peoples Reps aren’t allowed to read?

The Republicans are proving once again that if you vote for them, your vote is wasted.

There is no stopping what is happening with a vote. There is no changing a system so far gone from it’s original form that it is unrecognizable.

Politics have failed us, politicians have failed us and now they drive us straight at the edge of the cliff.

When we hit bottom, just remember who was driving.

Ths will not be for restoration, but rather retribution.

Happy Thursday everyone.

Edward Snowden: Becoming an ‘international fugitive’ was worth it

“I think the most liberating thing about burning your life to the ground, and becoming an international fugitive, or so I’m told, is that you no longer have to worry about tomorrow, you think about today,” he said. For me that’s been a great experience, I’m actually quite grateful for it.”

“Although he can “no longer see my family” or live in the US, Snowden said “the things I’ve received personally and we’ve all benefited from publicly, make it all worth it.”

“It has been incredibly rewarding, incredibly gratifying,” he added, pointing out that newspapers around the world have published stories about government abuses and courts had acted to stop them.”

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/edward-snowden-becoming-an-international-fugitive-was-worth-it-claims-nsa-whistleblower-10293240.html

I think that Snowden is a bona fida hero and should have a memorial erected to him. The man has gone as far as he can without sacrificing his life.

If the Fed.gov does end up with him in it’s clutches then I think that it should become the mission of every red bloodied patriot to free him.

I am not talking about protesting on the capitol lawn either.

Waco judges gone wild

“Judges who originally set $1 million dollar bonds for Waco Twin Peaks bikers had three of them re-arrested after they bonded out on reduced bonds. Their bonds were reset to $1 million, but they were able to bond out again.

The three men, Juan Garcia, Drew King, and James Harris, are all from Austin.

The Austin American-Statesman reported that Garcia is a 45-year old engineer with the city of Austin public works department. He is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of his charges and an investigation by the city.”

”

Breitbart Texas reported that an attorney out of Austin, Texas has filed motions to remove the three McLennan County judges who set and retained the $1 million bonds. He argued that the judges have demonstrated bias and should be recused from making future rulings.

A recusal motion had been filed asking that Justice of the Peace W.H. “Pete” Peterson be recused because he not only set $1 million bonds for 174 bikers, but added he was doing so to “send a message.” According to the Waco Tribune, Peterson said “I think it is important to send a message… We had nine people killed in our community. These people just came in, and most of them were from out of town. Very few of them were from in town.”

Motions to remove Judges Johnson and Strother had also been filed because they approved the $1 million bonds, and ordered no other judge could rule on motions to reduce the bonds.

These bonds have been decried by well-regarded criminal lawyers, and the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association as “absurd” and “unconstitutional.”

Sounds like the Bandidos need to recuse these assholes.

I have a feeling that that this is going to get ugly

Actually, I am rather hoping it will.

About time some of these judges were put in their places

Man Killed by Oklahoma Troopers Trying to Rescue Him from Flood

“On Friday night, an altercation that broke out in Oklahoma when two highway patrol troopers attempted to help two men whose truck had stalled in rising floodwaters ended with one of the men being fatally shot.

Oklahoma highway patrol captain Paul Timmons told reporters that the patrol received a call from the men, Nehemiah Fischer and his brother, Brandon Fischer, prompting the troopers to attempt a rescue. Timmons said that the troopers told the men to stop trying to push their truck free and move to higher ground, but when the men started arguing, shots were fired by police.”

This shit is getting ridiculous.

The bar for any type violence against a citizen needs to go way up

How it ever became accepted in our society for cops to use violence against those who employ them is beyond me.

Cleveland police agree to stop hitting people in the heads with their guns

“Cleveland police pull their guns too fast, fire at fleeing cars and people who pose no immediate threat and ignore potential danger to bystanders, the U. S. Department of Justice found.

A biting 58-page report released Thursday concluded that police violated the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, including by shooting an underwear-clad hostage victim and an unarmed driver who made an illegal turn.

The report blames several reasons for the “unreasonable” shootings. Police often lack the training and confidence necessary to  control a situation without resorting to force. They are not required to tell their supervisors when they pull their weapons. And the prevailing police culture promotes an “us-against-them” mentality.”

Cleveland Police Agree To Stop Hitting People On The Head With Guns

Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? Imagine a P.D. that can’t go around randomly pistol whipping the populace.

Where is this place of legend? This Cleveland, the land of the free?

Surely, I must go there.

EPA Grants Itself Power To Regulate Ponds, Ditches, Puddles

“The EPA has released its Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule critics say would allow the agency to regulate waterways previously not under federal jurisdiction, including puddles, ditches and isolated wetlands.

Republicans, farmers and industrial groups have called the rule an EPA “power grab” because it extends the agency’s powers to new heights. Environmentalists and the Obama administration, however, argue the WOTUS rule is necessary for protecting water quality.

No matter how you spin it, the EPA’s WOTUS rule does expand the agency’s authority, and creates new avenues for environmental groups to sue projects they want to stop from moving forward.

“The administration’s decree to unilaterally expand federal authority is a raw and tyrannical power grab that will crush jobs,” House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement.

“Despite their assurances, it appears that EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have failed to keep their promises to Congress and the American people,” echoed Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe. “In fact, instead of fixing the overreach in the proposed rule, remarkably, EPA has made it even broader.”

The rest from The daily caller: http://dailycaller.com/2015/05/27/epa-grants-itself-power-to-regulate-ponds-ditches-puddles/

The EPA it seems now has the power to regulate just about anything. They already regulate CO2, dust, mud, run off and any industry that creates any of those things.

It is a good thing that a federal agency would NEVER be arbitrarily punitive to accomplish political goals.

I know that they already regulate tar, but how about feathers?

Florida crowd assaults cop trying to make arrest

MELBOURNE, Fla. — Authorities say a hostile crowd assaulted a Florida police officer while he was trying to arrest a combative man.

Melbourne Police say the officer was arresting 22-year-old Phoenix Low of Melbourne early Saturday on a city ordinance violation of carrying an open container of alcohol.

police statement says Low became combative and attempted to run before the officer wrestled him to the ground.

Cmdr. Vince Pryce says a crowd gathered and began striking and pulling at the officer, who took out his Taser and told “the aggressive advancing crowd” to get back.

Pryce says the officer suffered cuts and bruises.

Along with the ordinance violation, Low was charged with resisting an officer and battery on a law enforcement officer. He was released late Sunday from the Brevard County jail.

Where am I when all the fun happens? I would have paid good money to be ringside on that one.

Heh, heh, heh… Sounds to me like someone has a vendetta……Bad cop! No doughnut!

We have a new start up. Please check her blog out and book mark it. Right now it is a fledgling, but give it a read if you would and pass it on.  That is where I acquired the below article with the sick twisted POS  Deputy burning the child’s genitals with a blow dryer.      Thanks.

Hernando county Florida corrections officer arrested for burning 3 Yr. olds genitals with hair dryer

“HERNANDO COUNTY, FL – Police have accused  detention Deputy Cody Marrone, a 21-year-old corrections officer, of punishing his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son by repeatedly burning his genitals with a hair dryer.

Meghan Sherron said it was routine for her to leave for work while her longtime, live-in boyfriend would take him to daycare. But last Friday, Marrone called her at work to inform her that her son’s genitals were swollen.

She had Marrone come to her work so she could see what he was talking about and found that her son’s genitals were swollen to the size of a softball. She also noticed burn marks to his thigh, buttocks and chest.

“When I saw the marks on his behind, I thought, that looks like my blow dryer,” she said. When she asked Marrone what the hell happened to her kid’s junk, he went through several different stories including; he woke up and found him that way, he blacked out and doesn’t remember, and that he simply snapped.

The boy was rushed to Tampa General Hospital where doctors would find the boy was suffering from second-degree burns. They called the Department of Children and Families who also notified police.”

From The dreamin’ demon: http://www.dreamindemon.com/2014/01/27/cody-marrone-accused-punishing-toddler-blow-dryer/

This guy is a special kind of sick and it goes to show the mentality of the people who occupy these positions. Ask yourself this question : What was it that drew him to law enforcement in the first place and specifically to being a corrections officer?

The type of personality that enjoys power and control is the same type of personality that is drawn to law enforcement.

According to the purple berets, a California women’s advocacy group,

“Domestic violence is 2 to 4 times more common in police families than in the general population. In two separate studies, 40% of police officers self-report that they have used violence against their domestic partners within the last year. In the general population, it’s estimated that domestic violence occurs in about 10% of families”

It is a dangerous mix to take a type of personality that is more prone to abuse and put that person in a position of power.

Hernando county (Which adjoins mine) has a long history of Deputies being arrested for abusing their position and power and being outright liars, victimizers and thieves.

Nothing will change though until all of the current, long time deputies are replaced and the culture of corruption comes to an end.

Richland Ms. $4.1 million police station funded by civil forfeiture

“The Mississippi city of Richland has a new $4.1 million police station, a top-level training center and a fleet of black-and-white Dodge Charger police cars.

All of it was paid for through civil forfeitures of property and cash seized during traffic stops of what police say were suspected drug runners on Interstate 20.

TEARFULLY DONATED: The sign for Richland’s $4.1 million police station, which was paid for entirely by civil forfeiture.

“Cop watchers armed with smartphones are not only catching police misconduct — they’re catching cops lying about the misconduct, officials said Thursday.

More and more cops are giving false statements in official documents or when questioned about their misbehavior, the city’s Civilian Complaint Review Board said.

The NYPD watchdog group determined that 26 cops made false statements either to the CCRB or in their paperwork last year — double the amount of officers found fudging reports the year before — according to their 2014 report.

Many of the bogus statements were debunked by video evidence collected at the scene of the incident, according to CCRB chair Richard Emery, who was not surprised by the uptick of cops caught in lies.”

“In one incident, a cop accused of misconduct during a stop-and-frisk claimed he never rifled through a man’s pockets, but video surveillance inside the building showed he did.

But even when confronted with the video, the cop denied the allegation.

“(The civilian) can say whatever he wants, that’s not what happened,” the officer said at the time.

In another case, a cop accused of cursing at a civilian admitted to pulling a gun on a man, but claimed up and down that he did not remember using any profanity.

A video taken by a witness at the scene, however, proved that the officer screamed “Get that f—— s— out of here” and “Go ahead, n—–,” as he swung his hand at the man.”

Orange county Florida Deputy arrested on child porn charges

“An  Orange County deputy sheriff was arrested on child pornography charges Thursday, a Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokeswoman said.

Ronald Barba, 34, was charged with three counts of sexual performance of a child, a third-degree felony, according to FDLE spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger.

An FDLE investigator first found Barba’s Internet Protocol address was being used to “advertise” possible child pornography in February, according to Barba’s arrest affidavit.”

Gag factor

I pulled this from the comment section on an article discussing police morale being at an all time low. There was actually a lot of constructive dialog going on about the problem and the solution to what is going on.

Then I saw this and was so impressed by it’s gag factor that I had to pass it on.

Read on:

“Today, I will not answer the radio call that your boyfriend has come home drunk and is beating you again.

Today, I will not answer the radio call that your 16 year old daughter, who is very responsible, is four hours late coming home from school.

Today, I will not answer the radio call that your store has been robbed or your house has been burglarized.
Today, I will not stop a drunk driver from killing someone.   I will not catch a rapist or a murderer or a car thief.

Today, I will not answer the radio call that a man has a gun or tried to abduct a child or that someone has been stabbed or has been in a terrible accident.
Today, I will not save your child that you locked in a car or the child you were too busy to watch who went outside and fell into the swimming pool, but that I revived.  No, today I will not do that.  Why?

Today, I was suspended from duty for doing my job, because the media, liberals, a community organizer, a lawyer who formally represented terrorists and is the US attorney general and a mayor who ran on an anti-police agenda, who are all advised by a drug dealer, liar and income tax cheat.   AND, all who know nothing about Policing, have vilified my profession.

Because —- Today, I was killed by a drunk driver while I was helping push a disabled car off the highway.
Today, I was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop to simply tell someone that they had a taillight out.

Today, I was killed in a traffic accident rushing to help a citizen.

Today, I was shot and killed serving a warrant on a known drug dealer.

Today, I was killed by a man when I came by to do a welfare check because his family was too busy.

Today, I was killed trying to stop a bank robbery or a grocery store robbery.

Today I was killed doing my job. A chaplain and an officer will go to a house and tell a mom and dad or a wife or husband or a child that their son or daughter or husband or wife or father or mother won’t be coming home today.  The flags at many police stations were flown at half-mast today but most people won’t know why.  There will be a funeral and my fellow officers will come, a twenty-one-gun salute will be given, and taps and bagpipes will be played as I am laid to rest.  My name will be put on a plaque, on a wall, in a building, in a city somewhere.  A folded flag will be placed on a mantel or a bookcase in a home somewhere and a family will mourn.

There will be no cries for justice. _ _There will be no riots in the streets. _ _There will be no officers marching, screaming ‘no justice, no peace.’ _ _No citizens will scream that something must be done. _ _No windows will be smashed, no cars burned, no stones thrown, no names called. _ _Only someone crying themselves to sleep tonight will be the only sign that I was cared about.

I WAS A POLICE OFFICER .”

Florida City Fires Their Entire Police Force

“One Florida town has been hit by corruption and it is so bad, the entire police force has been fired. The most corrupt city in the state has been exposed for its unlawful ways during a recent audit. All cops and elected officials in office have been let go or will be soon as this is just one of the stipulations that had to be followed to spare the city of Hampton, as its corruption runs deep.”

“Trouble arose in a quite innocent way according to the newly hired city attorney John Cooper. A Texaco gas station on nearby US 301 asked for cops to protect the place after a couple of bad accidents and homicides took place. Then, Hampton annexed a 1,200-foot stretch of highway. Later on though, someone arrived at the idea that a lot of easy cash was to be made from pulling over speeders and writing up tickets they would have to pay.

When Hampton’s map was redrawn, it resembled a giant mosquito, draining money straight from the highway. The biggest issue at the time was the police department as it was constantly going over its budget and the revenue from the tickets did not seem to make its way to any person working outside of its city hall building.

The amount of officers increased to 19, which included the chief. However, Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith confessed that a bunch of the cops were not at all trained in the proper manner. What is worse, the audit discovered that a couple of them had been driving uninsured vehicles. One policeman, who was better known as “Rambo,” kept an assault rifle strapped across his chest just to write up traffic tickets.”

http://thefreethoughtproject.com/florida-city-fires-entire-police-force/

Rambo, huh? You just can’t make this stuff up.

I had someone tell me the other day that  the “Majority of cops are decent guys trying to do the right thing” but now I see that viewpoint less and less.

This isn’t really a recent phenomena either if I think about it. This goes back to when I was a kid, having cops threaten to bash my head in or try to arrest a bunch of us for assembling. (We were not a mob as they asserted, but rather a peaceful assembly)

Back then I think the statement may have been true, but today I just don’t see it.

A total lack of respect !!!

“A Galveston, Texas, man arrested for stabbing a man nearly to death has more legal problems after spitting his own feces at the arresting officer. Following an investigation by officers responding to a reported stabbing, the suspect took off on foot and officers were forced to chase him down to secure the arrest.

This is where things went from bad to worse, says a reporter for KTRK 13 in Houston. Officers placed 29-year-old Jonathon Glenn in the back of their patrol car. Glenn somehow managed to not only defecate in the back seat of the patrol car, he managed to get the feces in his mouth and then proceeded to spit it at officers.”

Don’t try this at home kids, this guy is obviously a professional.  Think of all the logistics involved…….

I’m sorry.

15% of all homocides in Utah are police killings

“In the past five years, more Utahns have been killed by police than by gang members.

Or drug dealers. Or from child abuse.

And so far this year, deadly force by police has claimed more lives — 13, including a Saturday shooting in South Jordan — than has violence between spouses and dating partners.

As the tally of fatal police shootings rises, law enforcement watchdogs say it is time to treat deadly force as a potentially serious public safety problem.

“The numbers reflect that there could be an issue, and it’s going to take a deeper understanding of these shootings,” said Chris Gebhardt, a former police lieutenant and sergeant who served in Washington, D.C., and in Utah, including six years on SWAT teams and several training duties. “It definitely can’t be written off as citizen groups being upset with law enforcement.

Through October, 45 people had been killed by law enforcement officers in Utah since 2010, accounting for 15 percent of all homicides during that period. “

Police Chief arrests short order cook when burgers aren’t done on time.

Tuesday January 22 06:41 PM ESTPolice chief arrests man over late burger
By Hozaifa Cassubhai, Court TV
INVERNESS, Fla. ( Court TV) — A local police chief did not get the
hamburgers “his way,” and a diner owner ended up holding the bag.

Chief Joseph Elizarde, 53, is on paid leave while prosecutors investigate
allegations that he had the owner of Happy Dayz Diner arrested because the
two burgers he ordered were not ready in time for pick up.

Restaurant owner Butch Ramsey had to post a $500 bail after his arrest for
misdemeanor battery. The chief says Ramsey pushed him while he waited
patiently for his meal.

Witnesses, however, give a different account.

At about 11 a.m. on Jan. 1, Elizarde reportedly phoned the diner and ordered
two hamburgers for lunch. He called back 20 minutes later and became irate
upon learning his burgers weren’t done.

Elizarde talked to two waitresses before getting co-owner, Judy Ramsey, on
the line. Ramsey told Court TV that Elizarde was rude and she couldn’t
diffuse his anger, even after explaining to him that the delay in his order
was due to the grill being switched from breakfast to lunch.

“Finally I just told him that I didn’t have time to argue, he couldn’t have
his burgers and then I hung up,” she said.

Fifteen minutes later, Elizarde arrived at the diner in jogging pants and
stormed toward the kitchen. After repeated unsuccessful attempts to calm
him, Butch Ramsey placed his left hand over Elizarde’s right shoulder and
said, “I think it’s time you leave,” according to Judy Ramsey.

But Elizarde refused to leave, prompting Butch Ramsey to call 911. When
police arrived, Elizarde had Butch Ramsey handcuffed.

The Ramseys, who have hired their own private attorney while the city
conducts its investigation, say they want Elizarde dismissed as police
chief. When asked if Elizarde’s burgers were finally ready, Judy Ramsey
replied, “Not really. Never! He’s not welcome here ever again.”

Hahahaha! Yes this is a true story.

But it is also an old story dating from 2002. Why you ask would I post a moldey oldey?

Because it is my hometown PD. The same one that we sued out of existence later that year for violating our civil rights.

Take that.

New York’s finest strikes again: Man assaulted, arrested, after attempting to video tape cop inappropriately touching female friend

“Jason Disisto and his friends were hanging out on a sidewalk on March 12, 2014, when Officer Jonathan Munoz walked up to Disisto’s female friend, grabbed her wrist, and began to put his hands inside her sweater.  Concerned about what he is seeing, Disisto borrows a cellphone and attempts to begin filming the interaction. This is something that we are all well within our rights- and frankly morally obligated- to do.

Seeing that he is about to film, another officer on the scene, Edwin Flores, confronts Disisto.  The situation escalates very quickly as two officers are seen assaulting the man and attempting to steal his phone.  Disisto is then arrested, as the police claimed that he had lunged at the officers and attempted to punch them with a closed fist.

The blatant lies by the NYPD officers are completely disproved by three security cameras that captured the incident from multiple angles.

After the officers handcuff Disisto and put him in the back of the police vehicle, they throw the cellphone out of the window and break it.  He was charged with obstructing governmental administration, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.

Criminal charges against Disisto were ultimately dropped, yet no charges seem to have been filed for the officers who assaulted, kidnapped, and destroyed the property of an innocent man.”
