Police: They’re Just Doing Their Jobs

Image
    Posted on 10 June 2010 by Adam Mueller All to often I hear a supporter of police or an actual cop say, “I’m just doing my job.”  Well for the past week I’ve been in Keene, NH along with Pete and Dr. Q , both are Cop Block contributors,  and while out in the beautiful downtown area have taken some video of the Keene Police.   After reviewing the footage we captured I decided to make this short video about Cops doing their jobs.  As seen in the video above we’ve captured footage of cops wasting tax dollars, generating revenue with victimless crimes and threatening business owners for rowdy customers.  In a weeks time I didn’t witness or hear one person state they needed, liked or asked the police to show up.  Not once?  In two of the three covered police encounters people actually thanked us for filming or shouted back at the police.   You can’t help but wonder, why?  Why are these cops, or gang members, allowed to take our money?  When I,

Breaking News: UN just approved new stricter rounds of sanctions against nuclear ambitious Iran. CORRUPTION SUCKS BLOG   www.corruptionsucks.blogspot.c om  Live Coverage ONLINE: http://www.livestation.com/ UNITED NATIONS, June 9 -- A divided U.N. Security Council on Wednesday imposed a fourth round of financial and commercial sanctions on Iran's military establishment, bringing to a close more than six months of diplomatic efforts by the Obama administration to penalize Tehran for building a covert nuclear facility and accelerating its enrichment of uranium. The 15-member council adopted its fourth sanctions resolution on Iran in four years by a vote of 12-2. Brazil and Turkey voted against the resolution, citing concerns that the council had not exhausted diplomatic efforts to resolve its standoff with Iran. Lebanon abstained. The Obama administration succeeded in securing support for sanctions from the council's major powers, inc

Activist Buys Police Department's Web Domain

Brian McCrary just bought a website to complain about a $90 speeding ticket he received from the Bluff City PD — the Bluff City Police Department site. The department let its domain expire and McCrary was quick to pick it up . From the article: "Brian McCrary found the perfect venue to gripe about a $90 speeding ticket when he went to the Bluff City Police Department's website, saw that its domain name was about to expire, and bought it right out from under the city's nose. Now that McCrary is the proud owner of the site, bluffcitypd.com , the Gray, Tenn., computer network designer has been using it to post links about speed cameras — like the one on U.S. Highway 11E that caught him — and how people don't like them."

2 hardworking, hard-hitting cops are now felons

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

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

Breaking News: Interpol: Van der Sloot arrested in Santiago

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

Lauren Booth: Why we sailed to Gaza...

Image
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.
