Bad cop! No donut! Police chief burns down his house for insurance fraud

“DeKALB COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – Two men from Tallassee were arrested over the weekend involving an ongoing investigation in DeKalb County.  Thomas Fuller, 62, and Glenn Fuller, 47, both face charges of first degree insurance fraud.

The case stems from a house fire that happened October 18, 2014 in Valley Head.

Thomas is a former police officer from Elmore County. Investigators say he was the Hammondville Police Chief when the fire occurred. Investigators say Tom and Glenn are not related, but have lived at the same residence in Valley Head and Tallassee.”

And while the house burned, Brian Williams rushed in to save two puppies and a kitten….

But seriously, you just can’t make this stuff up. Where are they finding these cops and who is hiring them? Is Norman Bates the head of personnel? I guess the psyche test has gone the way of the tube television.

NYPD retraining cops to talk down before takedown

“NEW YORK (AP) — Two New York City cops approach a gray sedan with a suspected drunken driver slumped over the wheel. They ask him to get out, and that’s when the trouble begins.

The suspect, dressed in a rumpled suit, curses and hollers at the officers because he doesn’t want to go to jail. He refuses to be handcuffed and backs away, yelling, “Can’t we work this out?”

But even as the man’s temper rises, the officers stay impassive and firm, explaining why they need to take him downtown. Eventually, the man calms down and gives up.

“I’ve realized,” Detective Leonardo Pino said, “that if I try to meet his tone with my tone, it doesn’t get better.”

The scenario was fake – the suspected drunken driver was a fellow officer and the street scene was a set built in a Hollywood-style sound stage. It’s all part of a massive, across-the-board retraining ordered for the nation’s largest police force in the wake of last year’s fatal arrest of Eric Garner.

The Associated Press got an exclusive look at the New York Police Department’s three-day course that’s aimed at discouraging verbal abuse and needless physical force. The message to every one of the department’s 35,000 officers is, quite simply, keep cool.

Cynicism, condescension and complacency are a formula for escalating emotions that can put civilians – and officers’ careers – in harm’s way. As one instructor put it in a recent classroom session, “Once you put your hands on someone, you can’t go back.”

The instructors that day didn’t mention Garner, the unarmed black man from Staten Island whose videotaped death in a chokehold – a tactic banned by the NYPD more than 20 years ago – fueled loud protests against police. But the case hangs heavy over the retraining, as do the ongoing protests in Baltimore, where a black suspect died of a spinal cord injury after his April 12 arrest.

“We want to talk people into their cuffs,” said Lt. Suzanne St. Jacques, NYPD commanding officer for physical training and tactics. “We want to talk them down into compliance, de-escalate the situation. … The emphasis right now is the talk down before the takedown.”

Holy crap, change is possible! Assassinate a couple of theirs and they start to re-think their policy. Seriously, you don’t believe that it was the protests that did it do you?

I am certain that it is a direct result of the shootings.

I caught a lot of heat for defending Eric Garner and saying exactly what the NYPD is saying now. A man lost his life simply because the arrest went physical and the bar needs to be set pretty high before they put their hands on someone.

Now I hear that there was another shooting in Baltimore this afternoon. Guess we will get the details on that soon enough.

Rev. Al Sharpton called for the Justice Department to “take over policing in this country” and stated “we’re going to have to fight states’ rights

“Rev. Al Sharpton called for the Justice Department to “take over policing in this country” and stated “we’re going to have to fight states’ rights” in comments recorded by the Baltimore Sun on Thursday.

Sharpton said, “we need the Justice Department to step in and take over policing in this country. In the 20th century, they had to fight states’ rights in — to get the right to vote. We’re going to have to fight states’ rights in terms of closing down police cases.”

He added, “police must be held accountable. I don’t think all police are bad. I don’t even think most are bad. But those that are need to be held accountable.”

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/04/30/sharpton-calls-for-doj-to-take-over-policing-going-to-have-to-fight-states-rights/

So, they have tipped their hand. As speculated we now know what they are after. I think that it would be a fair guess to expect more Ferguson’s and more Baltimore’s.

The ring is close, do you think that they will give up without the prize?

I don’t.

Bad people are in charge on the highest levels.

Look! Up inthe sky! Is that a Crip? Hell no, it’s one of Detroits finest…Detroit officer does drive by shooting

“A Detroit police officer has been suspended after reports of a drive-by shooting outside of a home in Ray Township.

Macomb County sheriff’s deputies responded to a home early this morning after reports of multiple shots fired at the home located at 29 Mile Road near Romeo Plank.

The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office says the Detroit police officer, 32-year-old Clifford Earl Gullion of Ray Township, was arraigned on four weapons charges Thursday afternoon.”

It is getting hard to tell which thugs are worse, the ghetto rats or the cops.

Orlando cop ruptures handcuffed mans spleen, takes cell pictures

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jGeVLUfBBU

“Robert Liese was in jail after he says a friend left him with a $60 bar tab that he was unable to pay. Besides being drunk, not once did Liese ever pose a threat to officers. In fact, he peacefully offered Delio his hands to be brought to jail after knowing that he was not going to be able to pay.

But Liese says that Delio didn’t care that he was nice and then kicked the handcuffed man in the stomach as he was loading him into the squad car.

Once in jail, Liese headbutted the door because he was upset and injured, and he was trying to get the attention of someone besides the officers who were outside of the door ridiculing him.

Officer Delio, who apparently wanted to take out more frustrations on the restrained man, then walked into the cell and kneed him in the stomach so hard, that it ruptured his spleen.

The pain was so great that Liese was immobilized. Delio picks the man up like a ragdoll and laughably yells to Liese, “stop resisting.”

He could barely breathe, and he fell to the floor in agony. He was then picked up and dragged out of the cell to be placed in leg restraints.

During the two hours long video after Liese was struck by the officer, he begged for help.

Sgt. Michael Faulkner reported to internal affairs that Liese not only didn’t ask for medical attention, but that he refused it.”

Every time I post one of these I move farther and farther away from ” Most of them are good cops and just doing their job”

I hope this scumbag gets hard time and someone lets his prison compadres know who he is and why he is in there.

Palm beach county Fl. Deputy shoot unarmed guy in the back, supervisor can be heard telling him “I got your back on this”

http://www.wptv.com/news/local-news/investigations/dashcam-video-shows-unarmed-man-being-shot-by-pbso-deputy

This dashcam video from 2013 was released and it contradicts what the cop said happened. This is all part of a larger investigation being done by contact 5 into Palm beach county police corruption.

Just remember, when one of these sworn officers walks into a court room, that court automatically believes him.

I swear it wasn’t me

We were sitting in a Mexican restaurant last Thursday about 5 minutes after leaving the courthouse. We had just finalized the last case against my wife and were directly across the street waiting to order when we heard screeching tires and a horn blowing.

We assumed that someone had almost gotten into an accident and concentrated on ordering from the menu. After a while our food arrived and we settled in to eat. After a few minutes though, we saw cherries in the street and a crowd of people forming outside.

Assuming that there had been an accident, we went about our business and ate our food as more and more cops and people showed up. Pretty soon it became obvious that this was no car accident. Cop after cop arrived on the scene along with fire trucks and a growing throng of people.

In no time at all, there were at least 25 squad cars and hundreds of people in the parking lot of the court house across the street. Something was up and as the waitress approached my wife inquired if she knew what was going on.

She informed us that someone had just come in from the crowd outside to use the restroom and had told her that the court house had been evacuated because of a bomb threat.

A bomb threat? The street was crawling with squad cars with their cherries on and cops were forming up in groups now to cordon everything off. My wife looked at me and leaned forward “Do you think this is for us?”

I thought about it for a moment before I replied. Mere minutes earlier we had been in the courthouse. They had us confined in a hallway waiting to be processed and pay a fine. We had to pay the woman in the closet sized office $3.00 and we had been waiting in this stinking hallway for 3 hours.

Sit here and wait until they call your name.

3 hours.

I was less than happy.

Much less than happy.

I was in the courthouse, which to me, is the belly of the beast. The only worse place to be forced into by the state is a prison. I am in a place into which I have been forced and now I am being forced to pay them money at the threat of my wife being jailed.

I can hardly think of a time that I had been less happy.

I looked across the table at my wife as she inquired and responded slowly “I never said bomb. I mean, I said a lot, but I never said bomb ”

As a matter of fact my final words as I left, turning to address all present  were “Fuck this place and these assholes”

Yeah, that was my finale on the way out the door, but that was nothing compared to what was going on in the hallway. By the 3 hour mark I had an angry crowd of people gathered and was relentlessly pounding the system and everything that it stood for.

I was in rare form and I had a captive audience that was just about as happy as I was. I was especially pissed because I knew that the very money that I was paying was the only thing that keeps the system functioning.

As the time passed the crowd grew uglier and uglier and what had been a bunch of calm people just waiting to pay a fine, became a group of outraged people being raped by the state.

This of course did not go unnoticed. There was a desk set up at the end of the hall for probation and PTI and the woman sitting there who had been happy and laughing now wore a dark scowl.

She had been apologizing and joking  with everyone as she set them up to take their money and freedom in monthly increments. She appeared to be happy and care free and enjoying her job as she set everyone up for periodic payments.

I think that all changed when I walked over to her desk and informed everyone that this was just like a prison and if everyone refused to go long with it, that they could never afford to make it work. That If everyone was non-compliant that the system would collapse under the weight of trying to enforce it.

I then went on a diatribe about the prison system, the police state,and how many people were imprisoned in this country. There was a guy there that was a sovereign citizen and he was like my cheering team, chiming in at one point that the only good cop was a dead cop.

But I never said bomb.

We wandered out into the street after eating and as we walked towards the parking lot, the cops started blocking all of the roads off adjacent to the court house. There were now squad cars and groups of black vested cops everywhere. We both agreed that this would probably be a good time to exit stage right and get out of the area.

We got into the car and as we drove out of town, feeling a little nervous, my wife looked at me and inquired again” This can’t be for us , can it?”

I assured her that it wasn’t us. We had spoken to the lady at our attorney’s office as we walked by and she said specifically that someone had called in a bomb threat.

I immediately thought of the sovereign citizen.

And then the guy who got fired via telephone while waiting in that hallway to dutifully pay his fine.

And then my wife says “Wait a minute, You did say it!”

What? I said what?

She then reminded me of what I had said.  She cut a plea deal with no time, no judgement and no record and I said that if it the judge would have given her time, that I would have laid siege to the place.

That’s not a bomb threat.

Besides that, I had used it in a what if context, not saying that I was going to do it, but rather, would have.

Laying siege is a pretty broad term and can be interpreted many ways.

Right?

But now she had me nervous. When I say that I was in rare form, I really mean it. I was sitting right in front of a camera, not 4 feet away the whole time as incited my fellow citizens.

I didn’t care, it was principle . Here we were, paying money out because of some lying scum bag cop and they confine us for 3 hours waiting to pay $3.00 in a hallway.

We finally hit our limit and went up to the window and demanded her paperwork back. At first they couldn’t find it but they finally located it in a basket all by itself, totally unprocessed. At this point we figured that it would be easier to have our attorney pay it instead.

That was when we had exited and I left them my parting words which my wife followed up with “And fuck this whole system too”

It couldn’t be for us.

The entire drive home, which is about 40 minutes, we were wondering if we had caused the scare and to tell you the truth, I half ass expected to see squad cars parked at our house when we arrived. But we got home and everything was quiet and peaceful and we were done with the police state and the court system.

Until the phone rang.

It was the attorneys office. They couldn’t pay the fine. It had to be paid in person.

Today

Before 4:30 or an arrest warrant would be issued.

For $3.00.

It all smelled like a set up to me.

It was us

And now they wanted us to walk right into their clutches.

Egad.

What a choice. It is now 3:15 and we have to drive all the way back there.

Yes, I said “Egad”.

It smelled like a trap

But what to do? If it wasn’t paid by 4:30 an arrest warrant was certain.

Back to the court house.

We went to the attorneys office and the girl that works there walked across the street with us to the courthouse. She took us to a down stairs office where we could pay our $3.00 and be done. It was take your kid to work day and the nice lady who processed our paper work had her young son with her.

It took her all of 5 minutes to accomplish what the incompetent idiots upstairs couldn’t do in 3 hrs. It ended up that it wasn’t a set up and soon enough we were all paid up and back on the road heading home.

The next day I read that there were a number of court houses evacuated because of bomb threats, including the one in my own town. Someone had called in with very specific and credible threats that closed a number across the state.

See?

I told you it wasn’t me.

Diminished liberty

It is amazing how far the perception of liberty in our nation has been distorted. I had a few thoughts about it the other day and it really reinforced my thoughts that there is no possibility whatsoever of ever voting our way out of this mess. I stumbled out of bed Saturday morning, shuffled off to get a cup of coffee and as I sat down, the first thing I thought of was liberty and it’s rightful application.

Yeah, I am that guy; I just can’t turn this shit off. It isn’t because of something that happened that I get all wound up and get my panties in a wad. Liberty isn’t an event, it is a continuum and its presence or lack there of is a constant. It is a state that we exist in no matter what else may be happening around us.

So anyway, I am about to put a cup of coffee to my lips and I think to myself  “What would the founders, or for that fact, anyone born to that generation, think if they were told that they could not ride their horse down the street without first obtaining a license to do so ?”

That is when it dawned on me how far our liberty and our perception of it was distorted from its original inception. I knew what the answer to the question was before I even finished thinking it. These men had just fought, bled, died and survived for the sake of rightful liberty. They had just instituted a system that would insure the individual liberty of Americans; just thrown off the chains of tyranny.

That tyranny was a system that taxed, tolled, papered, regulated and controlled all those who were under it. A system that required the subjects to carry papers at all times so they could be investigated at any whim as to what their business was and where they might be going.

So, where are we in this whole scheme of things? Where do we sit on the scale of freedom?

Let me say it without  bringing in such obvious things such as the TSA, DHS, FBI and the other multi- letter agencies. I will leave those out and simply deal with our distorted perception of freedom and liberty on a more basic level.

We abide daily injustices that would have brought open rebellion and revolution in former generations.  We have been so conditioned to conform to our lack of liberty that we barely notice its absence anymore.

At age 15 we are eagerly awaiting the chance to be taxed, regulated, licensed and allowed by the state to drive. We have been told by our parents, our schools and our society that this is how it works and we blindly accept it; accept that this is freedom.

We accept what we are told ,that driving, like so many other things, is not a right, it is a privilege granted to you by the state that can be revoked at any time.

Also, while you are in the act of driving your normally allotted rights are at diminished capacity. There is a different bar set for search and seizure of both your vehicle and person. In a vehicle you don’t have the “Reasonable expectation” of privacy that you do in your home.

Any time that your vehicle is stopped you may be asked to exit your vehicle for the officers safety. He may then handcuff you and pat down your person for weapons before the traffic stop continues.

This is what passes for freedom today and with our twisted perception of liberty we blindly except it.

All of this is done in the name of safety, in the name of the greater good . From the handcuffs and pat down, to the search and licensing , it is all ostensibly done for the safety of others.

Just imagine if people were allowed to travel willy-nilly wherever they wanted without the state making sure that they were licensed and able to operate up to the states standards.

Oh, the horror! Can you imagine? Free people just driving any which way they want? How could we survive such  dangerous freedom?

But in this system that is set up for the “Safety” of all, the individual liberty designed into the system at its inception has vanished. It is so far gone that most of us never even notice it. I know that at the moment a lot of people are aware of what is happening, but they are not looking at the most basic precept of the loss.

Our liberty was lost generations before we were born and we, as did our fathers, and grandfathers, just accepted it as the status quo. Most of us never questioned it until it got so far out of hand that it could not ignored any longer. But it isn’t the current situation that is at the heart of the matter.

It is what we used to accept as liberty in our distorted perception of freedom. A return to that state from the current tyranny is not acceptable; Not now that most of us now view it through a clearer lens.

A return to lesser tyranny is not an option, if we intend to exist in a state of rightful liberty as our nation was designed .Is that what we should strive for ? Lesser tyranny?  Not the unbridled tyranny  of the 2000’s but that lesser one from 1960?

I think not.

But, does anyone actually think that no matter who runs for what, that there is any chance of actually voting true liberty back into our nation?  I think that the answer to that is a resounding no. The pigs in D.C. that are feeding at the trough of public money have no interest in liberty.

Liberty gets in the way of what they need to do, which is to insure their place at that trough. More laws and more control grows their bureaucracy and pours the slop in so they can continue to fatten.

The serfdom of the American people has been so institutionalized on so many levels, that there is no chance that anything other than fundamental structural change will be able to restore liberty in its actual form.

And how can that be accomplished? A revolution perhaps? Shall we Storm the Bastille?

Well, I don’t believe that it can happen without some type of event that spurs it. But at the same time,  I don’t think that in our cowardly, status quo driven society that we, as a people, will ever rise up in arms to recapture our stolen freedom.

We will instead accept whatever it is that the tyrants have to offer us. Yes, we will bitch, whine, moan and complain about it , but only until that is banned and made illegal.

I think that it would take something on the scale of total economic or societal collapse to put people in the position to they realize that can seize back their liberty.

I think that on a wide enough scale the powers that be, would be so diminished, that people capable, willing, organized and able , would be able to have a foothold in establishing a free society.

The most important part of the whole equation would be the ability to recognize the event and have the fortitude to seize the opportunity when it presents itself.

While everyone clambers for help and begs for assistance and servitude, those willing to be free could use the opportunity to establish a state that has the actual goals in mind that our founders had.

Economically we have built a house of cards and somewhere in the not so distant future it is going to come tumbling down. What would happen in D.C. if the slop suddenly stopped pouring into the trough? Where would the pigs run and what would they do if their political existence was threatened?

They would do whatever was necessary to keep it coming and the result of that would be unbridled tyranny and a tyranny so great that no free man could abide it.  They are the rulers, and using history as a guide, the rulers will commit any act to continue their rule.

Now here is the important question: If opportunity presents itself, will you seize it? Is dangerous  freedom and liberty more important than the security offered by tyrants? Is danger and death preferable to existence without freedom?

I know it is to me.

But who am I anyway? Just some guy who thinks too much, sees too much and patiently awaits his drone strike while drinking his morning coffee.

This is a second draft of a previous post. In the previous draft I ran out of time and rather truncated the ending.

Received my package

I picked my package up yesterday morning. She had been told that she would not be released before daylight because a woman had recently been killed after a night time release. So I planned on being there right about 7:00 A.M. which is right about daybreak.

So I was tooling down the highway when my phone rang at 5:13 A.M.   Just as they had told her they would not, they released her while it was still dark outside. Normally the drive to Clearwater is one hour and forty minutes; I arrived in the parking lot 58 Mins.  after receiving the call.

I did some serious ass speeding and at one point I was doing 45 M.P.H. over the speed limit. Thank God there were no cops on the highway because that would have resulted in a reckless driving charge, which is an arrestable offense.

So  anyway, I picked my package up and took it home. I fed it the many wonderful things that I had been cooking and stockpiling. Chocolate covered blueberries and cherries and pretzels. Smoked ham, Chicken and Italian beef. (For those of you not from the Chicago area, Italian beef is a sliced slow cooked roast that soaks in Aus Jus that is really heavy on garlic and oregano. It is served on a roll with the Aus Jus poured on it with a side of hot olive and pepper salad.)

I let her wash all those delightful things down with Fat tire ale and 12 Yr. old Glenfiddich single malt Scotch.

Then it was hot tub time and the comfort aire bed.

The real party is on Sunday.

Man steals horse, cops Taze him , then beat him while his hands are behind his back

“San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon ordered an immediate internal investigation Thursday into an arrest by deputies after a horse pursuit caught on camera by NewsChopper4.

Deputies appeared to use Tasers to stun a man and then beat him after the pursuit in San Bernardino County Thursday afternoon.

Aerial footage showed the man falling off the horse, and then being stunned with a Taser by a sheriff’s deputy.

The man appeared to fall to the ground with his arms outstretched. Two deputies immediately descended on him and began punching him in the head and kneeing him in the groin.”

“The group surrounding the man grew to 11 sheriff’s deputies.

In the two minutes after the man was stunned with a Taser, it appeared deputies kicked him 17 times, punched him 37 times and struck him with batons four times. Thirteen blows appeared to be to the head. The allegedly stolen horse stood idly nearby.

The man did not appear to move from his position lying on the ground for more than 45 minutes. He did not appear to receive medical attention while deputies stood around him during that time.

The man, identified as Francis Jared Pusok, 30, of Apple Valley, was hospitalized with unknown injuries, authorities said.”

Video here: http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Man-on-Stolen-Horse-Stunned-by-Sheriffs-Deputies-in-IE-299250951.html

And you know what the worst part is? “The allegedly stolen horse stood idly nearby.”  Yeah, that’s  right the horse just stood there and didn’t do a damned thing.

They are beating the brains in of the guy who just “Allegedly” stole him and he doesn’t even lift a hoof to help. There should be some kind of law………

Cop murders man in S.C. then lies saying that he grabbed his TASER

“The tragedy in North Charleston started to play out along numbingly familiar lines. Slager initially told investigators that Scott had successful grabbed his stun gun and was about to turn it against the officer, causing him to respond with deadly force. The police chief issued a press release that “this is the part of the job that no one likes…”

What Slager and his boss apparently didn’t know was that almost all of the encounter had been captured on video by a close bystander. When that video hit the home page of the New York Times tonight, it was hard to know what was more shocking: The eight shots that the cop fired at Scott — five apparently struck him — as his continued to run, or what happens a minute later, when Slager is clearly shown tossing a metallic object next to Scott’s dying body. The Times said it appears to be the officer’s stun gun, the one he would claimed Scott had wrestled from him.”

Rest of the story and the video here: http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/attytood/The-murder-of-Walter-Scott.html

What an absolute piece of shit. Watch the video and how non- nonchalantly he walks up and starts ordering him to put his hands behind his back after he fatally wounds him and plants the Taser.

If this wasn’t caught on video this scumbag would have walked.

Question: Will this effect any of the arrests that he made previous to this?

Answer: No ,on his testimony they will still be sitting in jail. Justice.

Every day I get farther and farther from “Well, they’re not all bad, there are still a lot of good ones out there”

Do you want to look at tyranny? Well let me tell you what, you already are. You don’t have to wait for the Fed to do something or martial law to arrive .

It is here and it is now and most likely your local militarized P.D. is the front line of it.

Kick Open the Doorway to Liberty: What Are We Waiting For?

“It doesn’t matter how much money you make, what politics you subscribe to, or what God you worship: we are all potential suspects, terrorists and lawbreakers in the eyes of the government.

In other words, if and when this nation falls to tyranny, we will all suffer the same fate: we will fall together. However, if it is possible to avert such an outcome, it will rest in us remembering that we are also all descendants of those early American revolutionaries who pushed back against the abuses of the British government. These people were neither career politicians nor government bureaucrats. Instead, they were mechanics, merchants, artisans and the like—ordinary people groaning under the weight of Britain’s oppressive rule—who, having reached a breaking point, had decided that enough was enough.

The colonists’ treatment at the hands of the British was not much different from the abuses meted out to the American people today: they too were taxed on everything from food to labor without any real say in the matter, in addition to which they had their homes invaded by armed government agents, their property seized and searched, their families terrorized, their communications, associations and activities monitored, and their attempts to defend themselves and challenge the government’s abuses dismissed as belligerence, treachery, and sedition.

Unlike most Americans today, who remain ignorant of the government’s abuses, cheerfully distracted by the entertainment spectacles trotted out before them by a complicit media, readily persuaded that the government has their best interests at heart, and easily cowed by the slightest show of force, the colonists responded to the government’s abuses with outrage, activism and rebellion. They staged boycotts of British goods and organized public protests, mass meetings, parades, bonfires and other demonstrations, culminating with their most famous act of resistance, the Boston Tea Party.

On the night of December 16, 1773, a group of men dressed as Indians boarded three ships that were carrying tea. Cheered on by a crowd along the shore, they threw 342 chests of tea overboard in protest of a tax on the tea. Many American merchants were aghast at the wanton destruction of property. A town meeting in Bristol, Massachusetts, condemned the action. Ben Franklin even called on his native city to pay for the tea and apologize. But as historian Pauline Maier notes, the Boston Tea Party was a last resort for a group of people who had stated their peaceful demands but were rebuffed by the British: “The tea resistance constituted a model of justified forceful resistance upon traditional criteria.”

The rest, as they say, is history. Yet it’s a history we cannot afford to forget or allow to be rewritten.

The colonists suffered under the weight of countless tyrannies before they finally were emboldened to stand their ground. They attempted to reason with the British crown, to plea their cause, even to negotiate. It was only when these means proved futile that they resorted to outright resistance, civil disobedience and eventually rebellion.

More than 200 years later, we are once again suffering under a long train of abuses and usurpations. What Americans today must decide is how committed they are to the cause of freedom and how far they’re willing to go to restore what has been lost.

Nat Hentoff, one of my dearest friends and a formidable champion of the Constitution, has long advocated for the resurgence of grassroots activism. As Nat noted:

This resistance to arrant tyranny first became part of our heritage when Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty formed the original Committees of Correspondence, a unifying source of news of British tyranny throughout the colonies that became a precipitating cause of the American Revolution. Where are the Sons of Liberty, the Committees of Correspondence and the insistently courageous city councils now, when they are crucially needed to bring back the Bill of Rights that protect every American against government tyranny worse than King George III’s? Where are the citizens demanding that these doorways to liberty be opened … What are we waiting for?

What are we waiting for, indeed?”

Serving and protecting the hell out of us.

“David Mack was dying of strangulation in front of his horrified teenage sons while nearly a dozen Buffalo Police Officers looked on with indifference. The man who was killing Mack, Gregory Kwiatowski, was a member of their privileged tribe. The other cops at the scene understood that their duty was to protect the assailant, rather than to aid the victim.

“My father was laying there blue, I ain’t never seen him like that,” Wesley Mack later testified in court. “A lady cop went up to him and said, `Chill, Greg, you’re choking him,’ and she pulled his arm and he jumped up and popped her.”

“Get the hell off me, you black bitch!” snarled the uniformed embodiment of all that is good and decent, slugging the female officer in the face.

Mack had been arrested by Officer Anthony Porzio for “contempt of cop” after exchanging words with Officer Paul Sobkowiak, who had responded to a domestic disturbance report. A postal carrier told Sobkowiak that Mack had been withholding Social Security checks from his ex-girlfriend, who still received her mail at the address. ”

Miami-Dade Cop Faked Police Reports to Scrub Credit Histories

“A Miami-Dade police officer was arrested Thursday after federal prosecutors say he wrote up fake police reports on nonexistent identity thefts, in order to help credit repair companies scrub their customers’ credit histories clean in exchange for kickbacks.

Rafael Duran, 43, of Miami, appeared in court Thursday after being indicted and arrested on fraud charges over the alleged scheme. He is set to be arraigned April 16 and could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.”

I am not surprised at this coming out of Miami- Dade, they have got to be the most corrupt scumbags in the country.

But still, if you are arrested by one of them, the court automatically hands moral authority to him.

If he says that little baggie fell out of your pocket, it is accepted by the court as truth and now you have to defend your self against the overwhelming power of the state.

Family to sue over death of 7 Yr. old killed in SWAT raid. Alleged cover up by cops

“The family of a 7-year-old who was fatally shot during a botched raid in 2010 is suing Detroit police, alleging officers lied about how she was killed as part of a cover-up.

The civil rights lawsuit was filed in federal court Wednesday by attorney Geoffrey Fieger over the death of Aiyana Stanley-Jones. It names as defendants the city, the Detroit Police Department, Joseph Weekley, Robert Rowe and about 20 other, unknown officers on the Special Response Team involved in the incident.

When the SWAT-like squad conducted the midnight raid in search of a murder suspect in May 2010, Aiyana, who was sleeping on the couch, was fatally shot. Police were looking for Chauncey Owens, who lived upstairs in a separate unit of the duplex.

Weekley was charged with involuntary manslaughter and two lesser charges in her death, but the case was dropped in January after two trials ended with deadlocked juries and a judge dismissed the manslaughter charge.

The circumstances of the shooting are unclear. A flash-bang grenade was thrown at the beginning of the raid, potentially making it difficult to see. In court, Weekley acknowledged that he shot Aiyana. He said that he was in the house and accidentally pulled the trigger when Mertilla Jones, the girl’s grandmother, grabbed his gun. She denies touching it.

The lawsuit disputes Weekley’s version of events, alleging that the grenade went through the window and struck Aiyana. Then, the suit says, police “blindly fired random shots” from outside the home, with one of the bullets fatally striking Aiyana in the neck.

Officials have said Weekley was first through the door. According to the complaint, he “rushed into the house and made physical contact [with Mertilla Jones] in an intentional cover-up conspiracy to hide what happened.”

The suit alleges:” Upon Defendants realizing that they had critically injured the seven-year-old girl, they intentionally conspired to cover-up their unlawful acts by providing false and fictitious information to the authorities and to the media regarding the shooting of Aiyana Stanley-Jones, including falsely claiming that the bullet that killed her was fired from inside the lower unit of the duplex rather than from the outside, and that the discharge of the firearm was the result of a physical struggle between Mertilla Jones, Aiyana’s grandmother and the Defendant members of the Detroit Police Special Response Team. Defendant acted in concert to cover-up the facts and circumstances of the fatal shooting of Aiyana Stanley-Jones. As soon as Defendants realize that they had entered the wrong unit of the duplex and had burned, shot and mortally wounded the innocent seven year old Aiyana StanleyJones, they mutually, either tacitly or overtly, agreed to commence a conspiracy to coverup the facts of what they had done”

Mistakes can happen and sometimes with tragic results. They were after all looking for a murder suspect. But if the what the family alleges is true, this guy needs to get the Jordanian pilot treatment.

Yeah, that’s me being nice.

On advice

On the advice of the attorney I am being nice, if you hadn’t noticed.

Yes, I have to take the advice of counsel to be nice. No Tom foolery here, nothing to see, hip, hip cheery O’, move along.

This is of course a temporary condition and Tom thuggery foolery will resume as soon as it is feasible.

Once it is back to being only my ass on the line, I will be back in full force.. and with a vengeance.

In the mean time, I will be lame and tame.

Or try to.

You see? Did you see that? I was just going to add to that and had to stop myself.

Seriously.

I will tell the story down the line; There will be much swearing.

How free are you tonight?

Word on my wife

Apparently after an entire week of contacting every official in the state of Florida something finally came through. Talk about the run around, no one wanted to touch it. Every place I contacted told me that they didn’t have jurisdiction and shifted me to someone else.

I contacted a few private entities, but the majority were state or federal agencies. Among those I spoke to were the Florida disability medical liaison, the Pinellas county ADA compliance, the Pinellas county sheriff, the Pinellas county jail, the Florida human rights council, my local state reps office, the state of Florida ADA compliance and a bunch of others.

We have an attorney retained in this matter and even she was stymied as to what to do. She is not a big time criminal lawyer and most of the cases that she handles are DUI. It is next to impossible to find anyone to contact at the jail and she didn’t even  know where to start.

I am not sure what happened, but I went to see my wife yesterday and she told me that she had been seen at the nurses station and they were now offering her pain meds, which she refused.

In addition to that, they ordered up a slightly thicker mattress x2 for her cot. She had not had a chance to try it yet, but it has to be an improvement.

It may have been the call that I put in to the nurses station, a message of course, or all of the other calls that were just floating in the matrix.

Just the sheer volume of calls I had out there may have had an effect, coming back like a rumor. Every one I spoke to got the entire story before telling me they had no jurisdiction . They would then either transfer me or give me another number to call.

But anyway, it is an improvement. I had a video face to face with her yesterday and despite everything, I had her smiling and laughing. I was reading her poetry and telling her what I was going to cook for her when she gets out.

It is funny, we had a really clear connection, but when I read her the poem “Valhalla”  a horrendous echo started that lasted the rest of the conversation.

Who would have figured?

Anyway, for now, I don’t want to say too much. Once this 30 days is in the past though, I will expound on things.

Valhalla

I will disappear in fog and night
Subdued in sound sleep
And surprise
Blinding lights
Overwhelming might
They will spirit me away
And charge me with my crimes
They will call me many names
Even some that I may claim
But none will be my own
Traitor or subversive
Criminal or defendant
Or maybe
Even something worse
But I refuse to swear allegiance
To the police state
And fealty to the men
Clad in black
I will not submit
Nor ever kneel down
Though they may lay me
On the ground
But they don’t know
That I stole into the great hall of Valhalla
In deepest dark of night
And took with me
One of their mighty spears
Usurped their valor
And added it to my might
Now they will have to carry me
Proudly on my shield
Though my burning bier
Be but a lonely cell
It will be my burial
And tonight I will dine
In the great hall of Valhalla
That place that still lives on
In the mind of men

A rather appropriate re-post.

Hang strong baby.

Apparently saying nothing makes no difference either

So, I will say what is going on.

My wife the big first time offender, charged with resisting a wildlife officer has been sentenced to 30 days in jail. 8 months after her arrest, they upgraded the charges to a first degree misdemeanor.

She has a condition known as ankylosing spondylitis, which is an inflammatory and degenerative spinal disease.

In addition to that her back has been broken and grafted twice and she has hardware that runs from her pelvis halfway up her spine. She also has fusions and plates in her neck as well.

Her current status due to the injuries is disabled, but the jail is refusing to accommodate her disability. After 3 Yrs. of morphine and pain management it was discovered that lying flat was what was causing all of the pain. A hospital type air bed solved the problem and she was able to go off of the morphine.

Now they have her on a solid steel cot with a 1″ thick mattress on it and she is in so much pain that she can barely speak. Now my wife is not just a trooper, she is German and her pain tolerance is off of the chart.

After a molar removal and subsequent dry socket with necrosis (Bone death) I watched her pulling pieces of her jaw out with tweezers. Seriously.

When she  says it hurts, most people would be on their way to the E.R.

In addition to that, she is in the misdemeanor jail but they have placed her in the G.P. with the federal felony inmates.

I believe that the judge put the word out on her.

I can’t tell you how I feel or honestly the level of concern, frustration and anger that I have. There are no words for it at the moment.

If something happens though and my lovely wife doesn’t make it out of there, I won’t have to tell you how I feel.
