2 hardworking, hard-hitting cops are now felons Detroit duo convicted for planting evidence                    Willie Joyner, 38, of Detroit uses a cane  as he leaves the office of attorney Daniel  Romano, right, in Southfield. Joyner said he  was chased down and repeatedly kicked by  Ruffus Stewart and Lashaud Welcome in  2008, smashing the ball and socket of his hip. (Photos by PATRICIA BECK/Detroit Free Press) Willie Joyner crawled through the field on his elbows, dragging his right leg, useless and shattered at the hip. “Just take me to jail,” Joyner said he had silently prayed as the kicks slammed into him. “At least I’ll get some medical attention.” Today, Joyner needs a cane to support his 6-foot-4-inch, 250-pound frame on a right hip and leg held together with two metal plates and a dozen screws — the result, he says, of an April 2008 encounter with Detroit Police Officers Lashaud Welcome and Ruffus Stewart. He has filed a l

Flex Your Rights Video Shown in High School Leads to Suspensions for Teachers Originally posted on 02 June 2010 by Adam Mueller    A Flex Your Rights video, Busted , along with some other materials handed out to students lead to the suspension of two teachers .  I can’t believe this has happened. If you’ve ever seen Busted you know of its educational value.  How can teachers, even teachers of state run schools, be suspended for showing and distributing material that highlights the constitution along with the bill of rights? I think the one parent quoted in the story should of watched the video and read the material.  Maybe then she would have realized how her child misunderstood its content.  Flex Your Rights doesn’t show people how to hide your drugs, but rather how to stand up for your rights.  This parent missed a great opportunity to have a one on one with her daughter not only about drugs but also several other things like; what to do wh

Interpol: Joran van der Sloot arrested in Santiago Joran van der Sloot is being investigated in connection with a woman's death in Peru. Van der Sloot, 23, was traveling alone in a taxi near the Chilean central coastal city of Vina del Mar when he was detained, said Douglas Rodriguez, spokesman for the Chilean Investigative Police. Van der Sloot was transported Thursday afternoon to police headquarters in Santiago, Chile. TV images showed him emerging from a black police SUV at the police station. His hair, which had been black in previous images, was red and worn in a close-cropped crew cut. A wake was held Thursday in Lima, Peru, for Flores, who was scheduled to be buried later in the day. There is "incriminating evidence" linking van der Sloot to Flores' killing, said Peruvian criminal investigator Cesar Guardia Vasquez. Flores' bludgeoned body was found in Room 309 of the Hotel Tac in the Miraflores section of Lima

By Lauren Booth, The Guardian – 2 June 2010 www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jun/02/palestinian-territories-gaza I was a passenger on the first effort to break the Gaza blockade. Our mission was to show that normal people cared. Since the military attack on a fleet of civilian ships in international waters, Israel ’s well oiled spin machine has imposed a total news blackout about the survivors, taking their phones and denying them access to consular representation. The void has instead been filled with disinformation about the passengers on board the Mavi Marmara ferry. For those of us with colleagues and loved ones of whom we still have no clear news, such lies only exacerbate our anxiety and fury. So, before I have to read another weasel word from politicians about inquiries into the motives of the flotilla, let me shed some light on the kind of people either hospitalized or being illegally held in prisons in the south of the country.

This might get me killed but I feel like standing up for something that's worth dying for. I'll speak for those who are too scared or too uneducated to address public corruption... I usually don't make political tracks but it seems like ever since Obama won,  state government has gone crazy in the red states.Gov of Texas wants to secede...like make their own country (probably so they can legalize slavery). Arizona wants to pull over anyone who looks Mexican and Arkansas' Local Police force is out of control! I haven't seen a video on the net yet where a cop knew he was on camera and still uses a racial slur. WE NEED TO STAND UP!! D.EZ

via Arkansas Times: 2nd Dist. Dem runoff: Robbie Wills plays the God-guns-abortion card in a mailer attacking Joyce Elliott. Our readers don't like it a bit .     Neither do I . It's posted on this syndicated site : http://www.corruptionsucks.blogspot.com/ Wills Campaign Gets Ugly Against Joyce Elliott May 29th, 2010 By jsamuel : Blue Arkansas Blog A reader sent us a mailer sent out by the Robbie Wills campaign attempting to slime Joyce Elliott. Essentially, it attacks her for having the gull to support a woman’s right to choose, restricting gun rights, outlawing prayer in schools, and being ineffective in office. Let’s look at each of these issues and the support provided by the mailer… How could any self respecting Democrat be pro-choice?! (*sarcasm*)  On gun rights, the Wills campaign cites no votes and provides no support for the accusation besides the NRA. Look, I am pro-2nd amendment, but I really don’t l

Facts The decision itself involved five consolidated cases coming from different lower courts in which African-Americans had sued theaters, hotels and transit companies that had refused them admittance or excluded them from "white only" facilities. [ edit ] Decision of the Court The Court, in a decision by Justice  Joseph P. Bradley , held that the language of the  14th Amendment , which prohibited denial of equal protection by a state, did not give Congress power to regulate these private acts. The Court also acknowledged that the  13th Amendment  does apply to private actors, but only to the extent that it prohibits people from owning slaves, not exhibiting discriminatory behavior. The Court said that "it would be running the slavery argument into the ground to make it apply to every act of discrimination which a person may see fit to make as to guests he will entertain, or as to the people he will take into his coach or cab or car; or admit to his con

Israeli commandos storm aid flotilla; 9 killed By AMY TEIBEL and TIA GOLDENBERG, Associated Press Writers     JERUSALEM – Israeli naval commandos stormed a flotilla of ships carrying aid and hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists to the blockaded  Gaza Strip  on Monday, killing nine passengers in a botched raid that provoked international outrage and a diplomatic crisis. Dozens of activists and six Israeli soldiers were wounded in the bloody predawn confrontation in  international waters . The violent takeover dealt yet another blow to Israel's international image, already tarnished by war crimes accusations in  Gaza  and its 3-year-old blockade of the impoverished Palestinian territory. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhayu  canceled a much-anticipated meeting with  President Barack Obama  in Washington on Tuesday in a sign of just how
