CORRUPTION SUCKS BLOG

During this time period we had thirty eight autos broken into. The chart shows the day of the week these crimes occur, what times of day they occur, and in which patrol district they occurred. When examining the data it is obvious that a major portion of the auto B & E reports are in Patrol District 40 which is the downtown area. Many of the B & E incidents occurred during events at the Robinson Center, The Rep Theater and the River Market. Beginning today the LRPD will set up teams to work on these crimes. We will use uniformed patrol officers, bicycle officers, officers on horse back, officers on Segways, and undercover officers to stop these crimes. We will also be using bait cars as part of our tactics to stop these crimes.

Save Troy Davis' life The state of Georgia is taking steps to put Troy Davis to death. The case against him consisted of witness testimony that was full of inconsistencies. Since then, all but two of the state’s non-police witnesses from the trial have recanted their testimony —  and many have sworn in affidavits that police pressured or coerced them into testifying or signing statements. There is still serious doubt as to Troy Davis’ guilt, and  by putting him to death Georgia runs the risk of killing an innocent man.  Please call on the board to save Troy Davis’ life. And pass this on. Troy Davis needs as many of us as possible to speak up. No physical evidence. 7 of 9 witnesses changed their story. Stop #TroyDavis' execution: http://bit.ly/dKe19X @colorofchange It's not often that you could literally save a life by signing a petition.  This is one of those times. Last week we told you about Troy Davis, who could be put to death as soon as next month -- desp

Our community just won an important and hard-fought victory.  After more than 285,000 people spoke out, leading to a loss of over 300 advertisers from his top-rated show, Glenn Beck's program on Fox News Channel will come to an end this year. 1 This is huge. Beck's record of race-baiting is virtually unsurpassed among mainstream media figures, and Fox News has continued to give him a platform -- until now. We launched our campaign against Beck in July of 2009 after he topped a week of race-baiting directed at President Obama with the most stunning statement of them all— he called Obama a "racist" who has "a deep-seated hatred for white people, or the white culture." Within days we approached Fox News' advertisers, asking them to stop supporting Beck's poisonous statements with their dollars. Nearly 300,000 people signed statements that we presented to advertisers. Thousands of others made phone calls when our staff's calls and member com
