Toy Guns

InfoWars has a extremely detailed list of all the recent school administrations intimidating, threatening and expelling students for bubble guns, cap guns, and even pop tarts in the shape of a gun.  School shooting are major issue that need to be addressed.  However punishing children who do not know any better for carrying toys is not the proper way to address the issue.  What a fucking sad state of affairs when we think we can keep ourselves safe with superficial actions while actually avoiding and ignoring any real solutions.

The latest incident is linked above and involves a cap gun.  The best part is when the officials say that if there had been a cap in the gun at the time, it would have been considered an explosive and the police would have been called in.  The police would have been called in for... a cap gun because the cap is an explosive...  Think about that for a few more seconds and then tell me that state run propaganda centers are where you want your children spending their days.

This latest knee-jerk overreaction to children playing with anything that even remotely resembles a gun comes just days after another kindergartner was punished by school officials and forced to apologise for bringing a tiny miniature lego gun onto a school bus.

The list of previous incidents of this nature is now so long that it has prompted Maryland Sen. J. B. Jennings to introduce a bill to stop such idiotic over reactions being played out over and over again in schools.

In March, a 7-year-old boy from Maryland was suspended for unintentionally biting his pop tart into the shape of a gun.

A third grader in Michigan was reprimanded by school officials when he brought a cupcake to school with a plastic toy soldier, holding a gun, on top of it.

A ten year old Virginia boy who was arrested for taking a plastic toy gun to school was forced to deal with a potentially permanent criminal record over the incident.

A student in Florence, Arizona was recently suspended because he had a picture of a gun on his computer.

A six-year-old kindergartner in South Carolina was suspended for taking a small transparent plastic toy gun to school for a show and tell.

A five-year-old in Massachusetts who faced suspension for building a small toy gun out of lego bricks and play-shooting his classmates.

We also reported on an incident that erupted when a discussion between two children about a toy nerf gun caused a lockdown and a massive armed police response at two elementary schools in the Bronx.

In another incident, a Long Island high school was also placed on lock down for 6 hours in response to a student carrying a toy nerf gun.

The nerf gun was once again the deadly weapon of choice as a university campus in Rhode Island was placed on lockdown, causing panic and minor injuries when a stampede to flee the building ensued.

In another incident, a teacher at Malden High School in Massachusetts who glimpsed sight of a “gun”, alerted police who rushed to the scene only to discover a neon water pistol. School officials then vowed to track down the suspect who brought the toy to school using surveillance cameras.

A South Philadelphia elementary student was searched in front of classmates and threatened with arrest after she mistakenly brought a “paper gun” to school.

A 6-year-old boy was suspended from his elementary school, also in Maryland, for making a gun gesture with his hand and saying “pow”.

Another two 6-year-olds in Maryland were suspended for pointing their fingers into gun shapes while playing “cops and robbers” with each other.

A couple of second grade students at a Virginia elementary school were recently suspended for two days after violating the school’s “zero tolerance” policy on weapons when they pointed pencils at other students and made gun noises.

In Oklahoma, a five-year-old boy was also recently suspended for making a gun gesture with his hand.

A 13-year-old Middle School seventh grade student in Pennsylvania was also suspended for the same hand gesture.

The terrorists really are everywhere these days.

More Video of Police Breaking in to Homes

Last month a couple in California's home was forcefully broken in to by police who claimed they were responding to a domestic disturbance.  The couple claimed everything was fine but the officers broke in and tasered them anyway.  Now a new video appeared on YouTube of another woman who was attempting to explain to police that she was not the person who they were looking for based on a warrant.  Instead of allowing her to get her ID and prove her innocence they broke in to her home, handcuffed her and rummaged through her stuff.

Is there such thing as rule of law anymore, do cops even need warrants to come in to our homes?  Is there any point in allowing police officer their powers anymore.  I'm going to look through the news today and search for relevant queries that may bring me to stories in which police officers save someone and acted with good intentions.  If I find one I will be completely flabbergasted, it really is coming to the point where we need to start creating localized security forces just to protect ourselves from common street criminals, also known as the police.

Lady in Costco Shot to Death by Police

Police Officer William Mosher

A woman who was at the end of her shift handing out samples at a Costco in Virginia was shot to death by police on Wednesday the 29th.  Apparently she started acting very oddly according to co-workers, so they called the police in to the store for to help.  The woman started walking towards the officers with a knife and scissors in hand, very incoherent and not responding to their demands.  OBVIOUSLY this woman was going through some sort of mental break down.  However instead of helping, subduing, tasering, or tackling her, they proceeded to shoot the woman 5 times.

Is this policy?  Are police even trained in how to deal with people with mental disorders?  If they aren't, should they even be allowed to respond to calls in which a mentally disturbed person is involved?  Can they not make a better judgment in cases like this?  Two armed men aren't able to subdue one frail lady?  They had to shoot her in order to keep themselves safe?

The woman was from the Philippines where her family is mourning this tragic death.  The following statement was submitted Thursday by the Philippine Embassy regarding the shooting:

"The Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines extends its deepest sympathy to the family of Mylene De Leon Scott, a member of the Filipino-American Community, who was shot dead by police officers responding to a reported disturbance inside the Costco Wholesale Store in Sterling, Virginia, on Wednesday, 29 May 2013."

Costco also released a statement: 

"We are extremely saddened by the situation that occurred at the Costco warehouse in Sterling, Va., earlier today. We are treating this with the utmost sensitivity and are cooperating fully with the authorities as they gather more details on the events leading up to the shooting of our CDS associate. In the meantime, our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was affected by this event."

It horrifies me that so many immigrants are being murdered by police recently, it is terrible to have to hear tales of their family members half way around the world having to hear these stories though the news and as a side note.  "Police responded to a call at a Costco on Wednesday and oh BTW they killed your daughter". 

The rest of the world must be looking at America as a truly scary place to be, a country where you are  8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist.  It is one thing if you are scared to be killed by a terrorist bombing in Iraq, it is a completely other thing when you have to be scared that the people who are supposed to be protecting you are more likely to murder you than save you.  

Adam Kokesh reported this story yesterday on his podcast and made a very telling statement.  Unless you are ready to see an innocent person killed right in front of you, do not call the police unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary.  

Read more about the story at NBC.

As I research this a bit more it ends up the officers are claiming she had a gun, of course that gun was never removed from it's holster, but I guess nowadays just having a gun on you is enough reason to be shot 5 times in the back.  

Ibragim Todashev

While this story is over a week old now, new "evidence" is coming out damning the federal agents in what was already a pretty disturbing and detrimental investigation on their part.  To keep the story simple, a friend of the elder of the suspected Boston Bombers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was interviewed by FBI agents on May 22nd.  They proceeded to shoot the man in the head 7 times during the interview for unspecified reasons.  Multiple excuses came out claiming he attempted to attack the agent, that he had a knife, that he was intimidating etc etc etc.  Of course the real story is being leaked out slowly but surely by other officers on the scene.  According to InfoWars: 

“We have confirmed through senior sources within the FBI that Ibragim was indeed unarmed when he was shot seven times in the head, what appear to be even in the back of the head,” Hassan Shibly, executive director of the CAIR Florida, told USA Today. “That’s very disturbing.”

Getting in to the back story they also report:

Ibragim Todashev was an acquaintance of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the alleged terrorist who was killed in Watertown, Massachusetts, following the Boston Marathon bombing. On May 22, we reported that Todashev was killed by the FBI during interrogation in Florida.

Khusn Taramiv, a friend of Todashev, told WESH-TV in Orlando that Todashev felt he would be shot by the FBI. “He felt inside he was going to get shot,” Taramiv said. “I told him, ‘Everything is going to be fine, don’t worry about it.’ He said, ‘I have a really bad feeling.”

The FBI initially claimed its agents had killed Todashev in self defense during questioning. On Wednesday, however, the agency said the Chechen was unarmed.

“Law enforcement officials said Todashev was in the process of confessing to a 2011 triple murder in Waltham, Mass., and was working on writing out the details of the crime when he snapped and turned violent,” WESH.com reported. “Officials said Todashev pushed a table and possibly threw a chair.”

So because this guy supposedly pushed a table and threw a chair he got shot 7 times.  The multiple officers on scene were not able to, I don't know, subdue him?  He had no weapons and was surrounding by men with guns yet he thought it was in his best interest to attack them?  First off, this story smells fishier each time I read about it, while he definitely had no weapons I doubt he even threw a table or chair. Secondly, the likely hood of him being in the process of admitting to a triple homicide when this murder occurred are VERY slim.  Yet in this new America, after a guy is killed or maimed to the point  not being able to speak, the federal government can then reveal that they admitted to crimes with the public just nodding and agreeing. 

Dzhokhar Tamerlan did not write a admission of guilt inside of the boat he was bleeding to death in.  He also did not write anything of the sort while in custody.  Yet the government claims he did, and for all intensive purposes he might as well have.  The same goes for Ibragim, while he most likely never admitted to anything, since he is dead now the government will tell the story as they please.  So instead of admitting they murdered an unarmed man they spin the tale to give an impression that this man was evil.  He admitted to the murder of three people before the feds killed him, so don't worry he was a bad guy!  Ugh.

Chechen lawyer Zaurbek Sadakhanov characterized the killing an extrajudicial execution. “Why was he interrogated three times without a lawyer? Why no recording? Why seven shots? And why should I believe their version? Why do American policemen believe they can do whatever they want?”

Police Shoot and Kill Concerned Neighbor

Information Liberation covered this story so well that I see no reason to paraphrase or quote them.  Instead I will repost their post here because this story is sickening.  

A grandfather checking on his neighbor is shot and killed by Fort Worth police. The shots rang out early Tuesday morning near Woodhaven Country Club, in east Fort Worth.

Those close to the family say the victim lived nearby and heard his neighbor’s burglar alarm. Neighbor Jerry Wayne Waller then apparently went outside to see what was going on.

The 72-year-old man didn’t even make it to the house across the street before he was shot. He died on his own property.

The neighbors in the Woodhaven Country Club area and generally know each other pretty well. Becky Haskin, a former Fort Worth City Councilmember, lives in the area and said she believes Waller, “…was doing what neighbors do probably checking on the neighbor that the alarm went off.”

The elderly man, who was armed at the time, was shot and killed in his own driveway by police responding to a burglary call. “We heard five shots,” Haskin recalled. They were just rapid fire one after the other.”

Speaking on the incident Fort Worth police Cpl. Tracey Knight said, “Officers felt threatened by the man with the handgun and he was shot.”

After the shooting Haskin said, “The police officers were sobbing uncontrollably and very distraught.”

No officer's were sobbing and distraught.  They went home and fell asleep just as they do any other night.  But it's a nice way to ty and spin the story for the public I guess.

Police Attack a Boy Holding a Puppy

With all the risks involved in becoming a police officer this one has to take the cake.  An African American teen in Miami-Dade was attacked and arrested by officers who felt threatened by him.  So what was he threatening them with, a gun, a knife, a bat, a hammer?  What in the world could it have been?  According to the Miami News Times:

Fourteen-year-old Tremaine McMillian didn't threaten police. He didn't attack them. He wasn't armed. All the black teenager did was appear threatening by shooting Miami-Dade police officers a few "dehumanizing stares," and that was apparently enough for the officers to decide to slam him against the ground and put him in a chokehold.

Sounds similar to the dehumanizing stares officers around the country shoot to each and every citizen they pass each day.  The article goes on to say:

McMillian says he was carrying a six-week old puppy at the time and couldn't have been clenching his fists because he was feeding the dog with a bottle. He claims that during the confrontation the dog's front left paw was injured while officer forcibly separated him from the dog.

So not only are they attacking a teenager for the way he looked at them, they also injured a puppy, a PUPPY!  Police officers are truly a sordid bunch.   The police statement went something a bit like this:  

"At that point we are not concerned with a puppy," Zabaleta told the station. "We are concerned with the threat to the officer."

Yeah, the threat to officers... a vicious puppy and a teenager with a dehumanizing stare.
