Police Steal Homeless Peoples Only Possessions

Each and every day the police give citizens more reasons to think that they are part of a useless profession which is around solely to harass and intimidate people.  This latest story comes out of England, but I could not ignore it.  The police state is a world wide problem, America just so happens to be the land I was born in and spend the most time trying to defend from tyranny.  However with the world so interconnected it is impossible to ignore stories from abroad.

This particular tale depicts officers stealing the last possession of homeless people sleeping on the street.  The cops participated in a late night raid in which they stole their sleeping bags and food parcels that were donated by good samaritans.

Ilford Recorder explains the situation as such:

Adam Jaskowiak was one of the men targeted and said he pleaded with police to be able to keep his things but was ignored.

He was sleeping with eight other people finding shelter for the night in the former Ilford Baths in High Road, Ilford.

All of their belongings were bundled into a police car leaving the men, one in his 60s, stunned.

They go on to report:

But Mr Jaskowiak, 34, said: “They were just taking the sleeping bags and chucking out everything. I asked to keep it and the food, but they said ‘no’.

“I just grabbed as many of my things as possible and put them into a bag and ran.”

Talk about the complete opposite of serving the public and helping those in need.  I guess someone could argue that if these people are not working they are not paying taxes so therefore not supporting the police monetarily.  However I was not aware that the only people that could get the help of police officers were tax payers, I thought they were here to protect people, period.  Have the police truly become a paid service only working for the rich?

What good does stealing the meager possession of a handful of homeless people do?   Does anyone actually think this will get them off the street, as if they made a choice to be homeless?  Why are cops allowed to steal from people?  Who gave this order and under what rule of law was it deemed proper?  If there is a law that states something regarding having sleeping bags and food outdoors, it is a horrendous rule that middle class yuppies allowed to be put in to place because they have no empathy or regard for people they deem lesser than them.

Then we wonder why the world elite treat us like insects to be controlled and manipulated.  They see us in the same manner many middle class folks see the homeless.  So welcome to the new world order, one in which people who make $30,000 a year hate those who do not work and live on the streets, those who make $100,000 a year hate those who need welfare to help supplement their meager income, those who make a million a year scoff at lowly execs with 6 figure incomes and lastly the mega billionaires piss on us all.  

Adam Kokesh Calls for "The Final American Revolution"

UPDATE: 5/18:

He's FREE!

On Saturday, May 18th Adam Kokesh was kidnapped by federal thugs and imprisoned on false charges.  Adam is the host of a popular talk show titled Adam vs the Man.  He is a libertarian ex-marine who adamantly speaks against the federal governments illegal activities.  Not too long ago Kokesh called for a peaceful open carry march on D.C. in order to reenforce our rights as Americans to carry a gun.  Not to mention to call attention to the fact that the Supreme Court already ruled that the laws banning open carry in D.C. are unconstitutional.

So with all of this as the back story, last Saturday Kokesh and his crew were at a marijuana rally in Philadelphia in order to bring attention to the failed drug war.  During his keynote speech goons in costumes surrounded him and dragged him off to prison.  Their reasoning, according to the court records is that he "assaulted a federal officer" they also decided to add on resisting arrest.  Go ahead and do me a favor, watch the video below and see for yourself just how peacefully Adam went along with these goons.

For a week now Kokesh has been held in solitary confinement.   Along with one of his partners in "crime" N.A. Poe.  The two of have been held as political prisoners on bogus charges.  Poe was actually just released recently, but Kokesh's destiny is still up in the air.  The idea behind the arrest is to keep them away from their audience and hopefully destroy the open carry march.  Their secondary goal is to hit him with a felony so they can take away his guns.  Due to the fact that he would not answer questions in regards to where he lives and how many guns he owns, bail has been denied.  Along with the fact that the judge claimed he had past drug issues.

So when being arrested it is now policy to ask about someones possessions?  Do you own a car?  Do you own a television?  Do you own a set of knives?  Do you own guns?  None of this has anything to do with his arrest and should not have anything to do with the decision to set bail.

As Adam stood in front of the judge for a second time and was asked if he would like a court appointed lawyer, he stood silent and refused to answer.  Talk about having morals and sticking to them.  Why answer a question from a criminal who is only trying to make you incriminate yourself?  Why admit to needing a lawyer when in reality this is all a hoax and no matter what lawyer he gets the court system already has sentenced him for all intensive purposes.  

As of yesterday the goal of the federal government to stop the armed march has backfired.  The latest statement from Adam Kokesh reads as such:

“When a government has repeatedly and deliberately failed to follow its own laws, violated the fundamental human rights of its citizens, threatened the sanctity of a free press, created institutions intended to eliminate privacy of communication, waged war at the behest of special interest that threatens the public safety, killed hundreds of children with drone strikes, imprisoned and destroyed the lives of countless individuals for victimless crimes, stifled economic opportunity to maintain the dominance of the financial elite, stolen from the people through an absurd system of taxation and inflation, sold future generations into debt slavery, and abused its power to suppress political opposition, it is unfit to exist and it becomes the duty of the people to alter or abolish that government by whatever means necessary to secure liberty and ensure peace.

“A new American revolution is long overdue. This revolution has been brewing in the hearts and minds of the people for many years, but this Independence Day, it shall take a new form as the American Revolutionary Army will march on each state capital to demand that the governors of these 50 states immediately initiate the process of an orderly dissolution of the federal government through secession and reclamation of federally held property. Should one whole year from this July 4th pass while the crimes of this government are allowed to continue, we may have passed the point at which non-violent revolution becomes impossible.

“The time to sit idly by has passed. To remain neutral is to be complicit, just doing your job is not an excuse, and the line in the sand has been drawn between the people, and the criminals in Washington, D.C. While some timid souls will say that it is too early, that we can solve this problem through democratic means provided by government, that current levels of taxation are reasonable for the services provided, and that the crimes of this government are merely a tolerable nuisance, it may already be too late.

“While there is risk in drastic action, the greater danger lies in allowing this government to continue unchallenged. So if you are content with the status quo, stay home, get fat, watch the fireworks from a safe distance, and allow this Independence Day to pass like any other. But if you see as we see, and feel as we feel, we will see you on the front lines of freedom on July 4th, 2013 for this, The Final American Revolution.”

Signed, Adam Kokesh, May 23, 2013 from a cage in the Philadelphia federal prison.

Cops Arrest 7 Kids for Throwing Water Balloons

“How he was taken down was the most disturbing because they took him down by his neck and slammed him,”

What was the horrendous crime that merited an officer of the law to slam a 16 year old boy to the ground?  A water balloon fight of course.  This reminds me ever so much of the man who was arrested for releasing balloons in to the air a few months ago.  Police truly have nothing better to do than harass other wise innocent people and treat them as if they are common scum.  The officers also seem to believe that it is their job to teach people lessons.  It is not an officers job to teach anyone anything, they should not feel as if they are there to mold the public in to their ideal world.  They are there to protect the public and protecting it from water balloons seems like quite a waste of time to me.  

The Raw Story explains the issue as such:

Seven teenage students in North Carolina were arrested on Thursday and charged with a misdemeanor for throwing water balloons during a school prank. A parent was also arrested during the incident.

Six of the teens were charged with disorderly conduct. The seventh was charged with assault and battery for hitting a school security officer with a balloon.

The parent who was arrested, Kevin Hines, told WBT News 13 he saw officers acting aggressively as he drove up to the school. Hines said he tried to enter the school to talk to the principle about the situation occurring outside, but police stopped him and threatened him with a stun gun. He was charged with second-degree trespassing.

So as officers are harassing, humiliating and bringing harm to children a concerned parent tries to make sure the kids are alright.  What happens, he is arrested.  Who in this situation is actually looking out for the public well being?  I think the answer is pretty obvious.  

Woman Died on Courthouse Floor

In a terrifying story coming out of St. Clair, Alabama, a woman fell to the ground in a court house and died while begging for her medicine.  According to AlterNet:

A woman died on a courthouse floor because Alabama sheriff's deputies refused to give her her medicine - after arresting her for an old traffic ticket, the woman's daughter claims in court.

This story is all the more scarier considering literally anyone could be taken in for an old ticket.  Then next thing you know the police are treating you like scum, as if you are a violent criminal.  They couldn't care less about your medical needs or your pain, because you are their prisoner.  

The article goes on to say:

London claims her mother, Dwana Voncia London-Richardson, died gasping for breath in court after callous and unconstitutional treatment from the defendants.

Richardson suffered from asthma and other serious health problems, but the defendants refused to give her her medication, accused her of faking, and let her die in the courtroom, her daughter claims.

That's just the tip of the ice berg though, as the victim here had been begging for her medicine for days while being held in custody.

London claims that when she visited her mom in jail two days earlier, her mother could hardly walk, had trouble breathing and complained of pain in both legs.

London claims the jail staff refused to give her mom her asthma medication and stopped other inmates from helping her.

Corrections officers who not only refuse to help an inmate, but actively stop other inmates from helping either.  These people find true pleasure in torturing their prisoners.  Whether they are there for drugs, rape or unpaid tickets, to corrections officers, police, and the criminal justice system these people are lying scum.  They deserve everything they get.  

That's why when a woman like this dies, or a suspect gets beat to death while begging for his life, police fight tooth and nail claiming they were doing their job to the book.  These officer's could not care less about helping people or keeping the peace.  They are eager to find heads to smash and minorities to harass.  So when one of these victims of police brutality dies the officers wash their hands at night and sleep tightly knowing they did their job.  

On the morning of her court date:

London says the deputies still refused to take her mom to the hospital, and said she would be locked up if she didn't keep her court date.

So because of these officers actions the following couple of lines are the end of this poor ladies story...

"After sitting in the courtroom waiting for about twenty minutes, Ms. Richardson stated that she 'could not take anymore,' and she told deputy/jailer Doe that she needed help.

"Ayunna also pleaded with deputy/jailer Doe to get someone to help her mother.

"Deputy/jailer Doe responded as though he believed Ms. Richardson was just putting on.

"Ms. Richardson then stated 'I need to lay down.'

"Ms. Richardson laid down on the courtroom floor and her body started to shaking.

"Deputy/jailer Doe took no action to assist Ms. Richardson or to clear the courtroom.

"Everyone in the courtroom watched as Ms. Richardson died in court, on the courtroom floor.

One Month Later

Watertown, MA

It has been a little over a month since I last updated DeKalb Police State.  After the Boston Bombing caused a complete police state take over of Watertown, Massachusetts, I considered for a moment the idea that since the take over is here, what sense did it make for me to call attention to myself for speaking out against it?

Oakland, CA

Ten days after the Boston Bombing police in Oakland, California decided to shut down a lower income neighborhood in order to conduct searches for illegal guns and wanted persons. Any innocent civilians in the neighborhood just had to endure the lock down in order to bring a few people to "justice."

Less than two weeks later in Cotati, California, police were responding to a domestic disturbance call.  When they arrived at the home, both husband and wife claimed everything to be fine and that their children were playing in the yard.  When the couple would not allow police to enter the home, officers proceeded to bust in the door and taser the man.  They then arrested him for... not allowing police to enter his home without a warrant?

California is really keeping it classy in 2013.  On May 13th in Kern County local police beat a man to death with their batons as he pleaded for his life.  They then went on to confiscate the video footage that local residence took as they awoke in the middle of the night to screams of bloody murder.

And those are just the highlights.  With what follows I could not continue to ignore these atrocities and if writing this blog reaches anyone at all it contributes more than just staying silent.

In Concord, Califronia police killed a man fleeing from suspected drug related charges.

A high school student in Minnesota was maced *and* tasered by two police officers.

Texas cops order woman to ID herself at her own front door.

Meanwhile in San Antonio, Texas police beat a woman,and then threaten her brother for trying to record it.

All the way up in Kodiak, Alaska troops shoved and arrested a woman who demanded they leave her property.

In Richmond County, Georgia a man was arrested for not rolling his window all the way down.

Then there's the 20 year old "rapper" from Methuen, Massachusetts whose lyrics could land him in prison for 20 years.

Another incident involving a slightly more realistic rapper in Fayetteville, North Carolina had an under cover cop arrest the man for not allowing him to smell his Arizona Iced Tea.

What a month, we'll end things on a bright note though with young citizen Jeremy here who questions an officer on his choice to park on a side walk when there was no emergency.

Under Arrest for Being Latino

I'll keep this post nice and simple, according to Court House News:

A Texas sheriff threw two Latino men into jail for 39 days "with no charges, no hearing, and no probable cause" and seized the $14,000 they had saved up to buy a new car, the men claim in Federal Court.

"The trooper provided no traffic violation information or reason for the stop to the plaintiffs," the complaint states. "The trooper requested driver licenses from both plaintiffs, which he then took to his patrol unit. Upon returning, he requested to search the vehicle. Consent was given, and he then brought out his dog. After a search, the dog was put in its kennel. No drugs or drug paraphernalia were found in the vehicle or on the plaintiffs.

"There was simply no indication of wrongdoing. Nevertheless, Trooper Clary seized the money and waited for backup. After 20 minutes, the plaintiffs were taken to another squad car and were told they were going to be interviewed where it was quiet. Even though there was no sign from the K-9 and, therefore, no probable cause, the arriving officers tore apart the vehicle looking for money or drugs that did not exist.

"At the Hill County Sheriff Department, the plaintiffs were never handcuffed, never Mirandized and never told they were under arrest; rather, they were asked where they were from. The money was counted, and they were then booked into Hill County Jail for what jail documents call pending charges pursuant to 'money laundering.'"

"Plaintiffs had no opportunity to appear before a judge to seek release or to learn the reason they were deprived of his liberty. Plaintiffs had no opportunity to post bond."

I.E. These two men were arrested for being Hispanic with too much money on them.  These two cops wanted to figure out one way or another to confiscate this money because they were jealous.  They see someone that they consider a lesser person than them carrying so much cash, and well its their rights as officers to take that money from said lesser individuals and find a reason to justify it.

Just imagine how many other people out there are sitting in a jail cell with no idea why they are there, no charges being filed against them, no face time with a judge, nothing.  We speak about medieval torture chambers and dungeons as if they are a thing of the past.  We talk of kings and dictators who imprison people for whatever reason they please as if we live in a better time period and place than them.

Wake up America.

Cops Shoot Man Lying in His Bed

UPDATE 6/30:

ORIGINAL:

While this story occurred last year, it is being brought up for  further investigation this week and is well worth mentioning.  Two cops entered a home to arrest a man, then entered the mans roommates room and ended up shooting at him 20 times while he lie in his bed.

Did this man lying in his bed have a weapon, nope not at all.  Long story short, 16 of those 20 bullets entered the guys body, he is lucky to be alive.  What does the local police department claim?  They say the officers were justified, justified in shooting a man 16 times, while he lies in his own bed.

America Fuck Yeah!
