Just More Bad Cops

Whether they're slugging women on buses, shooting people while they sleep in their own bed, or stomping on a man in diabetic shock, you can bet police officers nation wide are putting their authority to use in an assortment of nasty ways each and every day.

Beating Blacks to Death

It seems to be a common occurrence that when police officers get together in a group and find a black person who has committed a crime, without saying a word they all know it's time for a good old fashion beat down.  Whether you have 3 cops, 6, or a dozen every single one of them wants to get their fair share of punches and kicks not to mention taser shots.  The suspect could be lying on the ground begging for their life and the cops won't stop until the begging stops and the suspect is completely silent.  Typically that silence comes from unconsciousness but if the person is dead, well at least they aren't talking back to an officer anymore.

The gang mentality of the police in this country is absolutely unforgivable.  They get together for what might as well be lynchings.  They are the perpetuators of modern day slavery.  Beat the black man down, for the most minor of crimes, then charge them with assaulting an officer if they even attempt to defend themselves.  Or if they're lucky they'll beat the suspect so badly that a few days later they die in a hospital.

Then being that the American system is completely corrupt the county coroner will say that the cause of death is undeterminable and fellow police will completely disregard any kind of public outcry for charges to be made against the officers in question.  So long story short, wearing a badge on your chest gives you the freedom to murder people.  Maybe the worst an officer faces is getting fired, but chances are no disciplinary action will be taken at all.  Cops can physically and verbally abuse people, they can beat people to death, threaten them with imprisonment for activities that aren't illegal, break in to your home, shoot your dog, pretty much whatever they want.

They can do all of this without any fear of repercussions, they're just following orders.  We all know of another group that was just following orders.  Yet every time I see a story about a cop killing someone who is wheel chair bound in "self defense", hospitalizing an innocent person, or even "accidentally" killing someone, they were just following procedure and were within their rights as an officer of the law.  Is there any limit to what police are allowed to do to citizens?  If a citizen accidentally runs someone over chances are they might still go to jail for manslaughter, chances are even higher that they are at least going to be brought to court for the offense.

When it comes to cops though, they aren't even brought to court to answer for their transgressions.  They are just allowed to go back to work, with an even higher sense of self worth and the knowledge that they can commit whatever crime they want because nothing will happen to them.  Ugh.

The specific story that made me start this rant today can be read in full over at the Huffignton Post.  You can also watch a Young Turks segment about the issue below.

InfoWars!

Just three random videos I've came across recently on InfoWars revealing yet more atrocities perpetrated by police officers throughout America.

We are the land of the free only if you consider being under constant surveillance with a never ending fear of arrest for every day activities freedom.

We are the home of the brave only if you consider 'roided out police officers wearing body armor and carrying tasers, pepper spray and guns to protect themselves against the citizens truly brave members of society.  

But that is just a slight rant... check these videos out.

Land of the Slaves Home of the Police State.

Beating on the Disabled

Every single day a police officer somewhere not only ruins someones day but completely destroys their ability to enjoy the people, places and things that they used to find pleasure in.  Todays harrowing experience went down between a San Diego Sheriff and a man with Down Syndrome.  After being pepper sprayed and beaten outside of his families bakery for the heinous crime of taking a walk at the wrong time he can no longer visit the bakery without being reminded of this event.  The CNN article is edited down for the highlights down below:

His eyes stinging with pepper spray, a developmentally disabled 21-year-old man was hit and forced to the ground before being taken into custody by California sheriff's deputies in an incident that left his family Thursday demanding justice.

His father is considering suing the department and the city of Vista, California, the young man's sister, Jessica Martinez, said.

"But really, all we want is for the sheriff's deputy who did this to my brother to get fired," Jessica Martinez, 20, said. "That's all we want. We want justice."

I could not agree anymore, these people are not looking to make a quick buck out of this tragedy they truly want justice to be served.  Police officers should not be allowed to get away with this, a slap on the wrist is not enough.  A paid suspension might as well be a vacation, a reward for doing wrong.  This officer obviously does not deserve to be wearing a badge.

Martinez is well-known around the Vista neighborhood, where he lives and his family has a bakery, his sister said. He was out walking between his home and the bakery when the deputy called out to him, at which point neighborhood men explained that the young man had Down Syndrome and wasn't doing anything wrong, according to Jessica Martinez.

The deputy didn't back off. Instead, while trying "to gain compliance and prevent a possible escape," he used pepper spray on Antonio Martinez, said Caldwell from the Sheriff's Department.

The deputy began using a baton as an agitated crowd approached, the spokeswoman added. The deputy hit Antonio Martinez with it, forcing him to the ground, then levied "a couple more strikes to get his hands free," Sheriff's Department Capt. Joe Rodi told CNN affiliate KGTV.

So even with neighbors explaining this mans situation the officer could not care less.  He suspects this guy of something wrong so any amount of force is allowed.  Even though Antonio DID NOTHING WRONG!  So now with the amount of force used against him we may as well be condemning him to guilt before being proven so.  Antonio's Sister had this to add to the story as well:

"I heard my brother screaming mine and my sister's name," she said. "He was screaming for help.

"My brother wasn't fighting. He was crying and screaming. He was scared."

"When I asked my brother if he was sad, Antonio told me his heart hurt," his sister said. "He's just really sad right now, and he doesn't want to go to the bakery any more."

What a big man this police officer must feel like bringing a man with Down Syndrome to tears, arresting him and holding him against his will until late into the night.  Read the entire article to get the full details.  As for my humble opinion, fire this sheriff today!

Disarm the Police!

Yesterday a man opened fire in a Portland Oregon mall killing two and injuring one.  He yelled out that he was "the shooter", then proceeded to open fire for a few moments before killing himself.  Bringing back fresh memories of the Aurora Colorado shooting this is just another step in the march towards TSA agents searching you before you enter any public location.  You want to go to a football game, or the mall, the movies, or a city park, sooner than later you're going to have to walk through a metal detector, backscatter x-ray machine or a good old fashion pat down just to enter.

Whether these recent shootings are legitimate mental breakdowns or instigated fear tactics orchestrated by the federal government is up for debate.  What is also becoming a large part of our public conversation is whether citizens should be allowed to own weapons at all.   I want to know why the the conversation about whether police officers are allowed to carry guns is never brought up in this country?

The majority of officers doing their routine beat will never fire their gun, they are dealing with domestic disputes, disorderly conduct, shoplifting, and a whole gauntlet of situations where having a gun makes everyone involved less safe.  When dealing with a handicapped schizophrenic man in a wheelchair does a gun ever have to come in to play, when chasing down a shoplifter is pulling a weapon really necessary and when subjugating someone to a side of the road DWI test must your hand be readied on your weapon, just in case?

In my humble opinion the only officers allowed to carry weapons should be SWAT and officers who routinely deal with gang related violence.  If you are an officer walking down main street surrounded by children and merchants, there is absolutely no reason to be carrying a weapon.  You are there to keep the peace not disturb it with gunfire.  The video above is a perfect example of why cops, on and off duty, should not carry weapons.

Disarm the Police!

Black Friday

"They took me out and they arrested me for nothing in my opinion"

The day after Thanksgiving has become the most absurd example of American consumerism while completely depicting our quick and utter descent in to decadence and an absolute removal of moral value's along with consideration for our neighbors.  It is the grossest aspects of our society getting together to save $30 on a TV at 5 in the morning.  Me personally, I'd rather spend an extra $30 as to not be in Walmart at 5AM.  Those who do decide to take part in such a pathetic attempt to save a couple bucks get what they deserve when stampeding crowds crush them to the ground and single mothers punch them in the face for the last Tickle Me Elmo on the shelves.

With that said a story coming out of a Florida Walmart early this morning concerning a woman arrested for trying to cut the check out line was almost to absurd for me to comment on.  The more I thought about it though the more it became apparent that this ladies situation was at least worth mentioning.  According to the story this Black Friday shopper was attempting to cut the line, when two police officers told her to back up.  She did not listen, became unruly and ended up being tackled to the ground and handcuffed.  According to the Huffington Post, Samantha Chavez had this to say of the situation.

Though police say she was trying to cut the lines, Chavez told Central Florida News 13 that she was just trying to find her sister-in-law in the crowded store.

"I came back and the lines kind of moved and I couldn’t find her. Her cellphone wasn’t working, the battery had died. This cop’s in front of me and he’s like 'no you can’t go, you need to go the other way,'” Chavez told Central Florida News 13. “I’m like 'I’m just looking for my sister' and he’s like ‘no you have to go that way’ I’m like ‘but she’s here, I need to find her.’”

I'm not sure why she was tackled, or who is telling the truth here, all I know is that the police should have much better things to do then make sure people aren't cutting lines at Walmart.  Seriously, two officers to subdue one small woman for cutting a line?!  Pathetic.  Should school children be concerned that next time they cut the lunch line a security guard is going to take them to the ground and bring them in to the principals office?  

Then there's this story about a man in Texas who also had an issue with a line cutter.  In this case the customer pulled his gun on another man trying to cut the line.  The guy with the gun was not charged with anything as the police claim he was well within his rights.... WHAT?!  According to MySanAntonio.com:

Roger Rivera, who was shopping in the Sears, said Salame was punched then pulled a gun. Everyone scattered, "tumbling over things, dropping boxes," Rivera said. The man who was trying to cut in line ran and hid behind a refrigerator before he fled the store. "It kind of went a little crazy in there," Carey said.

Meanwhile the masses who overrun store security and staff are not only allowed, but encouraged to maul each other over discounted cell phones with absolutely no repercussions.   

While the extreme violence erupts inside the stores, outside of a California Walmart the LA Times reports that nearly a dozen peaceful protesters were arrested, they refused to take part in the insanity that is Black Friday and wanted to show their support for workers rights.  They weren't there to spend money so just throw them in jail for the day.  The American Way!

Just Another Day...

Just another day in America as a police officer is allowed to shoot a taser at a ten year old boy who refused to clean the officers patrol car and gets three days suspension...

In even deadlier news which occurred in Arkansas a police duo shoot and kill a guy whose only weapon was a pool cue and whose crime was breaking a window...

Meanwhile police all over the country are ready and willing to break in to your home in order to murder you, steal your possession or attack your children.
