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.

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

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 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
