Man Riding a Bicycle Catheterized by Police to Test for DUI


This case boggles my mind, but I guess that happens regularly often with the absolute out of control police state we live in.  I would like to starts with a statement about man in question here:

He has since left the country and moved back to Venezuela where Barnes says he feels “much safer.”

He feels much  safer in Venezuela.  Do Ameircan's understand how dangerous this country is?  A country where you are 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist.  We live in on one the most outrageously dangerous nations in the world.  InfoWars reported on this story as follows:

The officers made their way towards Barnes anyway and asked him for his ID. He told the officers that he had not violated any laws and wasn’t required to present his ID.
The cops continued to threaten and intimidate Barnes into providing his ID, but still he refused.
One of the officers then told Barnes that he witnessed him riding his bike standing up, which is a crime in the state of Oregon. Barnes was skeptical of the statute, so he asked the officer to provide the Oregon State Legislative numbers on the law. The officer denied knowing them and began to make calls on his radio.
Officer Joshua Wilson shortly arrived on the scene and started the interrogation on Barnes all over again, demanding he present his ID. Officer Wilson read the statute to Barnes and told him he was being charged with “failure to use a bicycle seat.”
The penalty for failing to use a bicycle seat under Oregon state law is a misdemeanor traffic violation.
So because this man was not sitting down while riding his bike the police ended up taking extremely harsh actions.
Once at the hospital, with Barnes on the verge of wetting his pants, Officer Wilson arrived with the signed warrant. While Barnes’ hands were handcuffed in the front, the officer escorted him into the restroom and instructed Barnes to urinate in the cup.
Barnes still refusing, urinated into the urinal but not the cup. Barnes said the officer then tried to grab his penis and the cup, attempting to force him to urinate into it. Failing at this attempt, Barnes said the officer became angry and pushed him hard against the wall causing Barnes to urinate on himself.
“By my own power I dropped to my knees and went face down on the ground, trying to pinch off my urine flow,” said Barnes.
“Officer Wilson then came over and stood with full force on the small of my back, applying painful pressure to my bladder which made it so I could not stop urinating. I remained on the bathroom floor in the hospital in a puddle of my own urine while he used his radio to call security.”
“I was then told they were going to catheterize me.”
In America if you ride your bike without being seated there is a chance you might be brought in to a hospital and stomped to the ground by an officer who forces you to lie in your own piss, then to be catheterized against your will.  
Barnes said, “After Officer Wilson and the others assisted the medical staff in removing my pants and underwear, he took my penis in his hands and forced a very long catheter into my urethra while I was screaming, crying, and very much sober and awake.”
“The invasion felt nothing short of rape. I screamed for an attorney and an impartial observer and received none. The pain was excruciating, the procedure was humiliating, and the worst wasn’t over.”
“Once officials got my sample and pulled the catheter out, the pain was so severe it induced an instant gag reflex, I vomited and dry heaved onto the floor. This was by far the worst pain and experience that ever happened to me.”
Is there any level of logic and reason in police officers?  Do they think that anyone who breaks any law should be treated like scum?  Do they believe that it is their right to administer punishment and teach people lessons about obeying authority?  Do they have any compassion for human beings? Are they actually here to protect and serve?  Seems to me that they are here to torture and terrorize people while protecting the elite and powerful.

Swat Raided Home Over Uncut Lawn


Is this really what we want our tax money going towards?  Is this how we want police officers wasting their time?  Busting in doors because the front lawn hasn't been mowed?!  I think this can easily be labeled the most absurd use of force I have ever seen.  Armed swat members deployed over the height of grass outside?! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!  This country is a goner. 

According to Natural News:

A Pittsburgh area woman recently met the heavy hand of local law enforcement during an intense 12-hour police roundup, which serves as yet another reminder about the fragility of our individual liberties. As reported by WTAE News in Pittsburgh, police officers barged into Robyn Ruckman's home after demanding that she procure proper identification for an arrest warrant, all over uncut grass that was the responsibility of her landlord.
The sweep was initiated in the Turtle Creek area of southeastern Pittsburgh in response to more than 100 outstanding warrants, one of which was aimed at Ruckman's property. Reports indicate that Ruckman's lawn had been improperly maintained by her landlord for quite some time, which resulted in a warrant being issued on the owner for Failure to Maintain.

I had shared the original video of when this home invasion first happened, at the time no one seemed to know the entire story, but here we are a few weeks later learning again, the cops forcefully entered this woman's home, because her lawn was too high.  Check out the news report below for more:

Billy Club to the Face

This is a story that needs to be read in it's entirety, so I will share the full article from YourBlackWorld.net:


By Yolanda Spivey
BLOOMINGTON IL- On June 29th 2013, Gabriella Calhoun’s life changed forever.  The night was warm and clear, and after partying with friends, Gabriella and her friends decided to go to their local neighborhood Denny’s to get a late night meal.  Gabby is an honor student at Wiley College.  She finished high school a year early and went to college a year before the rest of her cohort.
Sitting on the left side of Denny’s so they can have a view of the parking lot, her crew of 17, all high school graduates, witnessed a fight between two girls.  As the group of college bound students were ordering their drinks, the cops were called.
When officers arrived on the scene, they entered the Denny’s and approached Gabriella’s table and asked if they had anything to do with the fight.   A friend, who shall remain nameless, told the officers that they were not involved with the fight at all at which the cops left and went back outside.
The two girls who were fighting outside were allowed to go into the Denny’s to “clean themselves up.”  One girl was previously maced by a police officer in the parking lot for acting unruly.  When the two girls saw each other inside of Denny’s, they started to fight again.  The cops rushed into the restaurant to break the fight up.
As the cops tried to clear Denny’s, they again approached Gabriella’s table, at which a close friend of hers told the cops they were not involved with the party that was fighting.  The cops grabbed the nameless young man, (he wants his name protected out of fear of retaliation), and escorted him out of Denny’s.  Gabriella followed them and grabbed his side.  As she exited the Denny’s she felt a grip on her neck and arm and says that out of reaction, she tried to pull away.
What happened next was unimaginable.  According to her friends, Gabriella was hit in the face with a night stick by a female officer and was knocked unconscious.   When Gabriella finally gained consciousness, the Wiley College Student said, “I awoke spitting my teeth out on the ground.”
Gabriella then stated, “When I came to, the officer begin to choke me again.  When I was finally able to talk, I asked the officer to please let me go because I have asthma, but she [the officer], said, ‘I don’t care if you have asthma.  You were hitting my officer.’”
“Afterward, the officer kept saying over and over again, ‘how was your party’ as she held my face to the ground.”
The female cop then lifted the petite honor student off of the ground, at which her b*****s were exposed because the tube top shirt she was wearing had rolled down.  She asked the officer if she could please pull up her shirt, but the officer told her to do it herself.  She then walked Gabriella all the way from the front of the Denny’s to the back where the cop cars were.

Gabriella was then sent to the precinct where she was booked on one charge of felony aggravated battery and two misdemeanors for resisting arrest.
“While at the jail, I received limited medical attention,” said Gabriella.  “The doctors only gave me ointment and an icepack which I had to ask for.”
“I think this is racial profiling not only by the Bloomington police department but also by Denny’s,” stated Lynia Cooper, friend of the victim. “Nobody else in Denny’s had to leave except the African Americans in that area.  The police didn’t hear us out and ultimately used cruel and unusual force on Gabby.”
Cooper added, “Might I add the police didn’t even arrest the females that were involved in the altercations.”
Your Black World tried to reach out to the Bloomington, IL police department, but they said they were unable to make an official statement because the case hasn’t gone to trial yet.
The entire incident left Gabriella terrified. “The whole situation is out of hand,” stated the frightened teen.  “I don’t deserve this and now I hate to look in the mirror.  When I look at what I use to look like to what I look like now, it hurts.  I had the prettiest smile but now I have 3 fake teeth in my mouth.  Nothing is the same.  I have to train myself to talk with my new teeth.”
Civil rights activists are already trying to find out what happened to the student, but are seeking to hear the police department’s side of the story.
“I want to hear what the police have to say, since the burden of proof is on them,” said Dr. Boyce Watkins, who revealed the case of Kelly Williams-Bolar, the mother sent to jail for sending her kids to a school outside her district.  ”But my father is a cop, so I know that her story is not inconceivable.  Police beat law-abiding citizens for little things all the time, and regularly go outside the bounds of decency when exerting their authority.”
Dr. Watkins is meeting this week with the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton in Chicago, and says that he will get their inputs on the matter.  Until then, the family is seeking answers and support from anyone willing to provide it.  Watkins says that he is trying to figure out how a small woman required so much force to restrain, even if she was doing something wrong.
“This woman is the same size as one of my daughters,” said Dr. Watkins.  ”Even if she were out of line, I can’t imagine someone having to smash her face with a billy club and knock her teeth out to get her under control.”
The victim’s mother, Montana Amy Calhoun, wants justice for her daughter.  She has given the names and badge numbers of all officers on the police report, which can be seen below.   She is also asking that anyone who can give information on resources for the family in the Illinois area, please reach out to them.  If you know of resources in Illinois that can help the family, please leave the information in the comments section of this article and/or send an email to organize@yourblackworld.net.
Names of officers involved in the incident (the asterisk is next to officers whom she says assaulted her daughter):
OFFICER JUSTIN GALE BPD 8845 *
OFFICER JEREMY CUNNINGHAM BPD 9359
SERGEANT EDWARD SHUMAKER BPD 6875
OFFICER IVY THORNTON BPD 7514 *

"Storm Troopers" Raid Adam Kokesh's Home and Kidnap Him Yet Again...

"I was here, and I loaded a shotgun on Independence Day, but I didn't kill anybody. I didn't drone any children.  I didn't steal any children's future. I didn't sell this country into debt. I didn't do any of the crimes that the man two blocks over at the White House is responsible for." - Adam Kokesh


From the Adam VS the Man Facebook Page:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

AVTM Official Press Release
RE: Raid on ADAM VS THE MAN Studios 10JUL13

(HERNDON, VA 10 JULY 2013)--- On the evening of Tuesday, 09JUL13, at approximately 7:45 PM, a combination of US Parks Police (an arm of the DHS) raided Adam Kokesh's residence. Local Herndon police assisted in the armed invasion. The officers used a battering ram to knock in the door after two knocks, and did not announce that they had a warrant. Immediately after breaking down the door, a flash bang grenade was deployed in the foyer.

Numerous police vehicles, including a light armored vehicle and two low-flying helicopters barricaded Adam's street. More than 20 armored SWAT team members surrounded the house, as well as a number of detectives, and plainclothes officers. Assault rifles were aimed on all members of the team as they were handcuffed without being told why they were detained. Masked and armored police in full “Storm Trooper” gear flooded in and ransacked the residence. The team was cordoned in a front room, while Adam was pulled aside for questioning.

Over the course of the next five hours, the police searched every corner of the house with canine units and blueprints to the house obtained prior to the search. All officers refused to speak to the crew while they we being detained. They confiscated cell phones and personal items with force. Throughout the ordeal, the police repeatedly showed a volatile desire to initiate aggressive, forceful conduct with detainees. At one point, Adam politely requested to use the restroom and was kicked by the officer forcing him to sit handcuffed on the floor. After hours of determined attempts, the safe was forced open and all items inside were confiscated. Adam was arrested and his crew were told he was being brought to the Herndon Police department overnight. Well after midnight, police officers cleared the house.

Fairfax County Adult Detention Center has stated that it has Adam in custody.

The ADAM VS THE MAN Team will be continuing production on the podcast and the Youtube channel as long as Adam remains imprisoned for an act of civil disobedience. We will continue to spread the message of liberty, self ownership, and the non-aggression principle regardless of the government's relentless attacks on our operation. We will continue to combat its desperate attempts to crush a worldwide, revolutionary shift in the people's understanding of the state's illegitimacy—after all, good ideas don't require force.

74 Year old Woman "Assaults" an Officer with her Purse


I hardly feel the need to make statements about this video.

But...

What a fucking loser this officer is, arresting a 74 year old woman!  First off he had no right to be shoving her because she was not moving quick enough, second if he cannot take a purse tapping him in the face due to his own aggressive actions, maybe he should get in to another career.  Fucking loser asshole.

Cops are such wimps, they get nudged, their uniform gets rubbed up against, their arm touches someone else, automatically the civilian has assaulted the officer.  Wimps, losers, pussies.  Many cops are a bunch of pussies, that's it!  They need to arrest old women to feel the rush of being in charge.  Ugh.

Get much more of the story at Tech Dirt.

Sanity Prevails

I've been watching all three of these cases closely and reported on two a few weeks ago here and here.

The past few days have finally seen some justice served in part to a couple of wrongly arrested people as well as one that was gunned down in his own bed.  We'll start with the tale of the teenager who was facing a year in prison for wearing a t-shirt with a gun on it to school.


According to The Huffington Post:

 A criminal charge has been dismissed against a West Virginia middle school student who refused a teacher's order to remove a National Rifle Association T-shirt he wore to school.

Logan County Circuit Judge Eric O'Briant signed an order dismissing an obstruction charge Thursday against 14-year-old Jared Marcum stemming from an April 18 incident at Logan Middle School.

Marcum was charged after a police officer told him to stop talking, but the student didn't.

Marcum's attorney, Ben White, says Marcum was exercising his free speech rights and his support for the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. After a review of statements from the officer and the school's principal, White says he and a prosecutor agreed that creating a criminal record for Marcum wasn't a good idea. 

The next story is about a man who was shot 16 times while lying in his own bed.  The cops had no reason to be in his room and no reason to think that he was armed.   An NBC affiliate covered the story earlier in the week:

 A man who was shot 16 times during a police raid in Auburn will be paid $3 million under a settlement reached Thursday.

The case involves a February 2012 incident where 28-year-old Dustin Theoharis was shot 16 times while in bed.

Theoharis had not committed a crime-- a team of King County deputies and a state corrections officer entered his room to search for weapons after arresting someone else at the Auburn home where he lived.

Two officers -- corrections officer Kris Rongen and Deputy Aaron Thompson -- fired nearly 20 times after entering Theoharis' room, hitting him 16 times.

Miraculously, he survived, but was left with a shattered jaw and shoulder, a fractured spine, and damage to his limbs and organs.


Lastly a story I've been following all week but avoided writing about because I wanted to see what the outcome was and because I've written about chalk vandalism in the past.  Thank goodness in this case sanity prevailed.  LA Times reports:

A jury Monday acquitted a 40-year-old man of all charges connected with writing protest messages in chalk on the sidewalk outside branches of the Bank of America.

The case has exacerbated the already tense relationship between Mayor Bob Filner, who called the case "stupid" and a "waste of money," and City Atty. Jan Goldsmith, who defended it as a legitimate prosecution for graffiti vandalism.

Deliberating for only a few hours, the jury apparently agreed with Filner -- declaring Jeff Olson not guilty on all 13 misdemeanor counts filed by Goldsmith's office.

Olson, who said he was inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, never denied writing the slogans.

One slogan said, "No thanks, big banks." Another, "Shame on Bank of America." And in yet another, the bank was portrayed as an octopus grabbing at cash with its tentacles.

"It's chalk," Filner told reporters last week in an exasperated tone. "It's water-soluble chalk. They were political slogans."


Fake Police Checkpoint


RT reports:

The Mayfield Heights, Ohio Police Department is under fire after the city recently decided to establish a “drug checkpoint” on Interstate 271. Randomly stopping cars and combing them for contraband is illegal, though, so law enforcement has been using the next best thing: fake checkpoints.

Cops in the Cleveland suburb of only 19,000 have been placing warning signs ahead of a bogus stop and then monitoring the behavior of drivers. If any cars demonstrate suspicious activity after being alerted of the phony roadblock, police say that’s enough to stop and search them.>

Police tried the trick last week when they erected signs reading "Drug Checkpoint Ahead," "Police K9 Dog In Use" and "Prepare to Stop." When they spotted cars trying to turn around, officers were deployed to find out why.

Police truly, honestly have nothing better to do with their time...
