Here we have a golden example of an incident that qualifies for the State Sponsored Criminal Count. 

The lawsuit was filed by NPD investigator Leonard Claunts, Lt. Joe Huff and Sgt. Curtis Shankel, who all worked in the department's Internal Affairs division and say they reported various wrongdoing and policy violations by officers and supervisors to top police administrators to no avail. Frustrated by the lack of response, they ultimately conveyed their concerns to the mayor, City Council and human resources director, according to the lawsuit.

The fourth plaintiff is Leonard Claunts' wife, Ginger, who reportedly emailed Human Resources Director Ed Simmerman last November, alleging various issues of public safety and misuse of public funds. About the same time, Shankel sent an anonymous letter to Mayor Dale and the City Council about the same general issues, according to the complaint.

Now when you read that you see that police officers are filing a law suit against their own department.  Why would they do a thing like that?  Because the whole system, city included, is so corrupt that they are harassing the officers attempting to blow the whistle.

It's becoming increasingly difficult for the law abiding to seek simple over the counter treatment for the common cold.

The state will soon keep tabs on everyone who buys over-the-counter cold medicine.

Consumers' personal information will be stored in an electronic database that will also send real-time alerts to police.

Without question this violates the Jews in the Attic test and it does absolutely nothing to catch those cooking meth. 

Cooking meth has been a crime.  In an effort to stop the crime they created a new crime, purchasing too much, or having too much in your household.  The intent of the purchase though no longer matters.  Have a house full of sick kids, too bad you're going to jail after your door is kicked in by the SWAT team.  The worst part is, if your jury has no clue about Jury Nullification your ass is going to prison.  Obviously you broke the law as written because you bought or had too much in your household.  Without nullification they would disregard for the fact though that you were using it lawfully and for it's intended purpose.  If you think that type of charge is impossible, think again.

The icing on the cake though was at the end of the article:

The American Civil Liberties Union said it does not plan to challenge the move based on privacy concerns.

As usual, the ACLU ignores any attack on civil liberties that doesn't fit their political agenda.  Anyone who puts Union in their name couldn't possibly understand the idea of personal liberty.  Sometimes law enforcement shouldn't be made easier, especially when law abiding citizens get caught in the crossfire.  When that happens, it should become so damn difficult the cops want to do something else instead.

Ok, Sparky, look here. I’ll ignore the whole subverting the nature of the republic aspect of your stupid statement and address the reality: Congress is pretty much why the country is in the economic shitter. Letting them run loose and even more unaccountable is like trusting the pyromaniac 8 year-old up the street to watch your collection of gas cans and fireworks.

But it was progressives... - SayUncle

[Unc nailed this issue right on the head with that analogy.  My instincts yesterday did one that was similar.  Because why would you want to leave a cocaine addicted hooker watching your stash of Bolivian Marching Powder while you went out of a smoke?

The progressives are claiming that this was a joke, I find it anything but.  Why else would you make a statement like that, that logically makes absolutely no sense?  The kids are currently throwing a tantrum in a candy store trying to break open and steal more candy.  Who in their right mind thinks that is a good time to hand them a bat and then walk away leaving them unsupervised and without recourse for discipline?

I seriously hope the people of North Carolina throw that want to be dictator to the freaking curb.  We live in a Republic, not a democracy, not a dictatorship.  We elect people to represent us, if you can't understand that, you shouldn't be a representative. Then again most representatives currently only represent the people who voted for them ignoring the rights of the smallest minority, the individual.  -B]

A basic principal to our criminal justice system centers around intent.  The increase in felonies, victimless laws, and other crimes in which no intent is required is becoming increasingly disturbing.  Thankfully someone else is noticing.

For centuries, a bedrock principle of criminal law has held that people must know they are doing something wrong before they can be found guilty. The concept is known as mens rea, Latin for a "guilty mind."

This legal protection is now being eroded as the U.S. federal criminal code dramatically swells. In recent decades, Congress has repeatedly crafted laws that weaken or disregard the notion of criminal intent. Today not only are there thousands more criminal laws than before, but it is easier to fall afoul of them.

The article goes on to state how a man was arrested and served time in jail for much the same as selling a firearm.  His mistake was he hadn’t fully vetted the person buying the product.  He had no intent to break the law, he had a reasonable belief the transaction was legal, but that was not good enough.

The whole point of our legal system no longer centers around protecting the innocent but bringing in as many as possible.  Convicted felons have numerous rights stripped, including some that cannot even be restored through the courts.

It gets better though because those creating the laws and enforcing them are also confiscating the property of those they charge.  Then you have State Sponsored Criminals walking off with the confiscated materials.  How bad could this over criminalization be though?

Overall, more than 40% of nonviolent offenses created or amended during two recent Congresses—the 109th and the 111th, the latter of which ran through last year—had "weak" mens rea requirements at best, according to a study conducted by the conservative Heritage Foundation and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

(Emphasis mine.)  Do you really think that is by accident?  It certainly isn’t a coincidence.  What better way to control the public than by criminalizing all of them.  The government is continually driving that wedge of us vs. them.  Any law that is victimless, I.E. ownership and possession laws, do nothing other than criminalize many who would otherwise be law abiding.

Remember, the government is not your friend.

I received an alert this afternoon that actually took me by surprise.

A security firm revealed today that mysql.com, the central repository for widely-used Web database software, was hacked and booby-trapped to serve visitors with malicious software. The disclosure caught my eye because just a few days ago I saw evidence that administrative access to mysql.com was being sold on the hacker underground for just $3,000.

This wasn't idiot malware either where people are conned into a dialog box.

Web security firm Armorize stated in its blog that mysql.com was poisoned with a script that invisibly redirects visitors to a Web site that uses the BlackHole exploit pack, an automated exploit toolkit that probes visiting browsers for a variety of known security holes.

“It exploits the visitor’s browsing platform (the browser, the browser plugins like Adobe Flash, Adobe PDF, etc, Java, …), and upon successful exploitation, permanently installs a piece of malware into the visitor’s machine, without the visitor’s knowledge,” say the researchers. “The visitor doesn’t need to click or agree to anything; simply visiting mysql.com with a vulnerable browsing platform will result in an infection.”

This type of exploit is still easily defensible by using the proper browsing plugins, such as no-script, ad-block, and making sure they are a default deny state.  Remember that just because you trust  a site today doesn't make it trustworthy tomorrow.  Be cautious and be aware.  Condition yellow applies to the internet just as it does in reality.

If you can do your web browsing through a VM you might want to do exactly that.  I did do that for a long time but eventually laziness won since it didn't actually get me much in the way of extra security.  I've seen how easily something can go bad without doing anything questionable.  I had malware, which was thankfully caught, that tried to install itself when I clicked to look at a screen shot of an upcoming game on a Google image search.

If you've been to MySQL.com recently make sure to check your machine out.  I have a feeling this attack was targeted like it did because most of the people who visit that site are likely to have elevated privileges on other systems.  While most of those visitors will be security savvy, many also would have likely been trusting due to who the host was.

A high class, quiet town nestled in the Cascade foothills in Western Washington, what could possibly happen there?  The most one ever hears about Issaquah is that it is home to Krispy Kreme Donuts in Western Washington (they showed up there first before spreading).  Who'd a thunk a deranged lunatic would would open fire there?

"We were running from guns. That's not supposed to happen in Issaquah," she said.

"It was so close. It was like you didn't really think it could be gunfire right behind you," said another woman who was there, Dawn Hill.

Issaquah is home to people who work at tech companies, much like Microsoft and it’s not exactly "low rent".  Yet, bad things still happen.

“In my whole life I've never seen anything like this,” said Jack Hover.

Just because it hasn’t happen before, doesn’t mean it can't happen at all.

Mmmm…Krispy Kreme.

For those who have worked manufacturing explosives at Boomershoot.  You already know how miserable the elements can make that situation.  Even at the end of April, snow and sleet are not unheard of, high winds are common, and it can make manufacturing just down right miserable.

Well yesterday we took delivery of the new manufacturing facility and put it in place. 

Joe oversaw the delivery of the container.  It took us a bit of figuring out of how to get it in place so we could finish leveling it properly.  After the containers was put in it’s temporary location we headed to town for lunch.  We had some other business to take care of in tow (which I’m sure Joe will explain later).  Let’s just say yesterday murphy’s law was in full force.

So all the cool kids whipped out their knives earlier this week to show off what they normally carry.  I was busy, blah, blah, blah, but here’s my normal carry knives.

That is my primary knife, it’s a SOG Trident Tanto.  That thing gets put through it’s paces between opening stuff and work and general light use in the shop.  I don’t use it for heavy work in the shop because that’s what quick change utility knifes are for.  The above is kept sharp and I’ll use for food at restaurants that don’t give me decent cutlery.  I’ll use it for light skinning, though I have a couple other knives I prefer to use for hunting as the blades are easier to work with.

Reason.com alerts us to an LA Times article covering a recent trial in which a private citizen's cellphone video proved officers lied about an arrest, resulting in the acquittal of a young man accused of carrying a concealed firearm.

If it hadn’t been for that video that kid would be going to jail. If anyone had lied as blatantly as those officers they very likely could be nailed for perjury.  Those officers though have their testimony treated like gold, worth more than any other individuals.

*I’m working on returning to our regularly scheduled program.  The past 3 days have been rough at work with long meetings.  I’ve got other stuff going on through Saturday.  Hopefully I’ll be able to play catch up on Sunday.  My brain wants to say more on this topic, but it’s just too tired.

You know it's bad for Obama when even his "hometown", the bastion of corrupt politics, starts explaining why he shouldn't run for reelection.

But there is good news for the president. I checked the Constitution, and he is under no compulsion to run for re-election. He can scrap the campaign, bag the fundraising calls and never watch another Republican debate as long as he's willing to vacate the premises by Jan. 20, 2013.

Seriously, that's got to hurt.  Then again fearless leader is so dense he might read the article and some how think it's a compliment.

Read the whole thing, there's some awesome line's in there.  I think my personal favorite is:

Someone said that when a man is smitten with a beautiful woman, he
should remember that somebody somewhere is tired of her. Likewise, the
most inspiring presidents get stale after years of constant
overexposure.

It's by no means the first time I've seen this analogy, but it's down right amazing to see these come out of an editor at the Chicago Times of all places.

I'm not counting my chickens yet, I wouldn't be surprised to see the GOP auger the Presidential election into the ground.  At the same time there's a large uphill battle the Democrats are going to have just to retain the presidency.  I think I should start a pool on who's going to screw the pooch.

I was wondering what to use for #100.  There were a few incidents I could think of historically that I had already covered that fit rolling over to 3 digits.

Erik turned to find three officers facing him, guns drawn, and all three shouting different commands: “Get on the ground!” “Drop your weapon!” “Keep your hands up!” Erik held his hands up, spoke calmly, told them he DID have a concealed firearm and a legal CCW and was an ex-Army officer. His girlfriend was screaming about Erik being a West Point grad, former Army officer, etc. Erik leaned to his left, hands still up, to expose the pistol, and repeated, “I am disarming; I am disarming.” Witnesses say he started to lower his right hand, palm OUT, perhaps intending to remove holster and gun together — but never got the hand below his shoulder, when one of the cops (believed to be William Mosher, who had committed a fatal shooting in 2006) shot Erik in the chest with a .45-caliber semi-automatic weapon. Erik dropped to his knees, clearly in shock, his face a picture of disbelief. He was shot a second time and collapsed. The rest is ugly. The three officers unloaded again, firing a total of seven hollow-point rounds. At least four, possibly five, hit Erik in the back, after he was on the ground and dying.

It ends up that Erik’s firearm never left it’s holster.  The call from Costco evidently also primed the pump for the officers to “see some action”.  The entire incident was a gigantic Charlie Foxtrot from the very beginning.  No single officer was in command, everyone was.  No effort was done to be civil or just find out what was going on.

Their solution to the problem was determined by them before they even got there.  We’ve seen that type of behavior before and it never ends well.

During the investigation some of the testimony was quite disturbing.  From the testimony it sounds like the Pima County Sherriff took lessons for the Gurerena raid.  Officers started shooting and didn’t know exactly why.  They felt justified because their fellow officers were shooting so their must be danger.

Self-restraint is a very important personality trait.  Even more important when your actions and behavior can cause a chain of events that will result in the death of an innocent.

So I have had this hosting provider since 2005 and they have been bought out a couple times.  Some of the pluses though include the fact my email is hosted in Exchange, unlimited disk space, and supposed unlimited bandwidth (found that today).  I have never had any issues at all requiring extensive customer support until this past week.

Starting last week Windows Live Writer stopped posting correctly to my blog.  It had happened intermittently previously and I figured it was another glitch.  After the issue didn’t clear in 24 hours to the support console I went.

A physically disabled Atlanta woman, who said she was thrown to the ground and arrested for refusing to get out of her chair, is seeking compensation.

Dan Grossman, an attorney for Shequita Walker, 40, said she was sitting April 21 on a metal chair in the vacant lot next to her home, where she often sits on hot afternoons, when police officer Kenneth Thomas approached and asked her to move, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday.

Grossman said Walker, who suffers from severe joint pain and has a limited range of motion, told the officer she was within her rights to sit outside and Thomas then twisted her arm, causing her to fall to the concrete.

This is what happens when cops get bored.  It’s quite similar to this incident in which the judge joined in on the party.  The wife just forwarded me a nice article with a picture taken during the arrest.

Seriously on what planet is behavior like this deemed acceptable?

What happened next was unnecessary and out of line; instead of just running his fingers along the waistband, he pulled out, at which point my button ripped out of the shorts, and the zipper came all the way down, exposing my underwear down to the crotch. Horror. I quickly zipped my shorts up. What the hell? I can understand there might have be a possibility that the thread or fabric near the button had been weakened over time, but even then, my zipper should not have unzipped down to the bottom if he was only feeling the waistband. Obviously my frustration showed, but did the TSA agent offer a solution for my broken button? or say anything besides “oops. I’m Sorry”? No. He just continued over to the machine to wipe his gloves down looking for residue, and then put wipe into machine.

I’m reasonably sure the only reason they escorted him to the back room is to ensure there would be no witnesses to the attack.  Yes this was an attack because it resulted in damage to property.  Not only that but the agents actions were nothing more than an attempt at sexual humiliation.

I don’t wish ill or harm on anyone, but frankly my opinion is starting to change regarding TSA agents.  Even if agent A isn’t responsible, he still covers for agent B.  They're nothing but predators who cover for each other.

The TSA has so many issues it shall remain in this post by itself. 

Authorities said that the TSA officers — two in Florida and one in New York — were paid to help drug couriers move pills and the stacks of cash they generated through airport screening systems. One of the police officers — a Florida state trooper — took drug money to travel to Connecticut, where he provided "protection" to a courier selling thousands of pills to a dozen or more lower-level dealers, authorities said.

This isn’t the first time that government officials have aided in drug smuggling.  The mistake in this case though was not getting your parents permission first.  You might notice the above only lists 4 people, what about #5?

The dealer said he made payments totaling $20,000 to a Westchester County police officer assigned to the airport there in order to be permitted to carry — without being questioned — large quantities of cash back to Florida, according to a DEA affidavit.

Ahh, there he is.  Pay the top for to ignore the pills, bribe the last guy to ignore the cash.  Whenever you see drugs and money, odds are starting to look pretty good you might see someone there also getting paid by the taxpayer.

Just remember that TSA agent who’s violating your wife is probably also getting a kickback from some criminal to ignore the stuff he should be looking for.  The TSA has nothing to do with security or enforcing the law.  It has everything to do with obedience and doing what you’re told if you’re a law abiding sheep.

Police and FBI agents arrested a drug suspect in Alameda on Wednesday, but not before mistakenly trying to raid a home across the street belonging to a network TV reporter and her political consultant husband.

…

Officers intended to carry out a follow-up raid Wednesday, but didn't realize that Ung had sold the four-bedroom home to the Clemenses about three months ago and is renting a home across the street.

Awesome police work there sparky!  Guess all those delayed notice warrants for terrorism have really aided the police in doing their job haven’t they?  Seriously why do these mentally degenerate morons never think to actually verify the person they’re looking for lives there first.  Then at least when they point their guns as someone and try to arrest them they at least know they are dealing with the right person.

It reminds me of a scene from Demolition Man. 

Chief: "While you were sleeping, everyone in the city was installed code. Sensors all over the city can zero in on anyone at any time. I can't even conceive a visual of what you police officers did before it was developed."

Stallone: "We worked for a living. This fascist crap makes me want to puke."

Now days instead of working for a living, they just kick down any door and shoot whoever’s inside.  No worries about consequences though, the law protects them from such silly things.  Though in this case we didn’t hear about them shooting the dog.  Though I think Ry was right when he said, “Of course, she's a reporter, so they didn't shoot her dog.”  Cause while they shoot other peoples dogs, this one would be guaranteed to be in the news for the next month until a settlement was paid out.

Like Alan I’m late to the meme party.  My buddy Phil put this up and for some reason I didn’t even think much about it.  Stupid work, because I love soundtrack questions like that.  Alan’s choice to use as his ammo runs out is down right awesome.  Tam’s is down right slick. 

I have to admit it’s something hard to think about since it would mean that I made a horrible decision in planning.  I mean large zombie hordes are why I have Joe teaching me about explosives.  Why use a rifle to take out 2 or 3 when I can blow 20 to hell and gone from a nice distance?  But assuming I utterly screwed the pooch in planning what would I want slinging across my MP3 Player?

This would work… not too fast, and provides the motivation necessary to WIN!

Even if I run out of ammo, by god between my bayonet and my rifle I’m leaving as the last son of a bitch still standing on top of the hill.  I can stab, bludgeon, and otherwise fight by any other means necessary.

Keep Hope Alive – Crystal Method

A 14-year-old boy got into a fight at a school bus stop and the school district's police officer responded by shooting him to death, the boy's mother says. She says the cop had been reprimanded 16 times in the previous 4 years, suspended without pay 5 times, and "recommended for termination for insubordination," but the school kept him on the force "without remedial training."

Basically the cop was told just let the kid go, we’ll find him later there’s no need to exacerbate the situation and just stay with the victim.  What’s he do instead, throw the victim in the back of his patrol car, drive around the neighborhood looking for him.  At this point the kid is hiding in a garden shed.

Owner of the shed calls police disturbed, and as expected officer hero is the first to arrive.  This is what followed:

Nonetheless, she says: "In violation of NISD police department procedures, Alvarado drew his weapon immediately after exiting the patrol car. With his gun drawn, he rushed through the gate and into the back yard. Within seconds from arriving at the residence, Alvarado shot and killed the unarmed boy hiding in the shed."

Because at this point he had every reason in the world to believe that the use of deadly force against a 14 year old kid that is hiding because he’s terrified will be totally justified.  Right?  Heaven forbid you just try and talk the child out of the garden shed.  Why would anyone bother to try and be civil about this and not run to the use of force?  Oh that’s right he’s a cop, this is what would happen instead:

Rather than fire Alvarado, the district transferred him to patrol, "an area of duty with less supervision," according to the complaint.

Seriously instead of being punished, note he’s been moved to a location with less supervision.  Also he’s been reprimanded 16 times.  Between this guy and Officer Roid Rage there’s a clear pattern developing.  Cops are getting get our of jail free cards and evidently they even work with the unlawful use of lethal force.

… Sgt. Dan Cerar’s frequent reference to victims of crimes as “whores, sluts, and liars;” exclusion of female detectives from the male “dress down” Thursday shooting practice; … the patter and practice by male detectives (Fletes and Hershman) of referring to female detectives as “sugar tits” and/or commenting on the “racks” of female victims, co-workers, and advocates; reference by Lt. Rick O’Hanlon that the Sex Crimes unit has a “chromosome problem”…

So if you don’t feel like reading all 12 pages of the complaint, the above is just one of the shining examples of the issues within the San Diego PD.  What I find most disturbing is that this was in the Sex Crimes unit.

These individuals have absolutely no respect for women, and I wouldn’t doubt that each of these beer swilling, crotch rotting, roid raging,  jocks regularly abused and mistreated women while they were in college.  I don’t see how anyone like that should be in law enforcement at all, much less in direct contact with people who will have gone through some of the worst mental trauma imaginable.

On or about September 12,2009, Benton deputies visited the Holcombe residence at 24577 Ervin Rd. in Philomath due to a noise disturbance. Deputies found Danny Holcombe and Jane McWilliams naked in their hot tub. They compelled them to exit the hottub and invaded their privacy watching them leave naked. Benton officers pointed tasers at Mr. Danny Holcombe and Jane McWilliams while they were naked in their hot tub. Deputies also pointed a weapon at the unarmed 20 -year-old son Jon Holcombe. Deputy Gavatosky and Officer Doe wrongfully detained, arrested and charged Jane McWilliams, who never committed any crime and was trying to hold her robe closed. In the course of arrest, they exposed her nakedness and laughed about it, expounding how that is how they do it in Philomath. She spent a night in a filthy jail cell subjected to verbal abuse. All charges were dropped. 

Jon Holcombe sustained no charges. Deputy A Hardison tasered a half naked unarmed Danny Holcombe, with hands in his pockets, and dropped him to the ground, kicking his knee out from under him, hit him in the head with a solid object, resulting in bleeding, resulting in facial lacerations and a skull laceration and an aggravation of his former work-related injuries to his shoulders, right hand, left wrist ,back and neck. Danny Holcomb sustained Taser wounds to the chest and torso. He later treated at the hospital for left wrist subluxation, right shoulder and arm radial nerve damage, issues his right hand and thumb were crushed in the fall.

Yeah, you totally needed to taser a half naked man who was unarmed.  Then again I could see the individual being quite pissed off considering you were verbally degrading his wife.  Even if that’s the case I still don’t see a need for the taser or any of this incident at all.

Noise complaints to me are nothing more than the excuse cops use in most cases to go harass people.  Most people have never really heard something that would qualify as a noise complaint.  Try living in a college town some time, believe me if you can’t hear it 4 blocks away it doesn’t really count.

The wife and I were able to do the bacon today, not so much the boomsticks though.  That didn’t hold us back though.  As always we were packing, and we felt that we would put a little extra on the whole idea of bacon and boomsticks.

We went not only with bacon, but bacon baked beans, and then to add some extra icing on the cake kosher beef franks.  We all know how much those turban wearing asshats love the Jewish so I made sure that I was also sending money in a direction I knew would totally piss them off.

Then we totally violated the kosherness of the franks by wrapping them in bacon strips.

Further evidence that TSA is really A Security Theater.

This month a federal audit reveals that, after nearly a decade, the TSA still can’t guarantee that agents working in “secure” areas of airports don’t pose a risk. That’s because the agency doesn’t always verify the identity of job applicants or even their legal status against a government immigration database.

This means that the TSA can’t account for agency employees with access to secure areas of airports, according to a Homeland Security Inspector General report made public a few days ago.

(Emphasis Mine) These are the same people who are given a free pass to sexually assault law abiding airline passengers, allows pedophiles to screen children, and overall is nothing but a group of individuals whose sole turn on is the abuse and molestation of the American people.

While claiming to act in the necessary methods to ensure security they have let unscreened unsecured persons into their own rank and file.  If I was a terrorist I would become a TSA agent, what better way to hide than in plain sight.  Especially considering these crap shoveling idiots couldn’t catch the clap in a whore house.

The TSA has never caught one single terrorist, not only that but they failed every last red team exercise.  They have however abused the very people who were responsible for stopping terrorist attacks in progress.  A security theater is nothing more than a ploy to make the ignorant and stupid feel safe.  Those of us with brains though carry the brunt of the burden by receiving the largest amount of abuse from agents.  Look how they treat anyone who opts out.

These piss swilling cheeba monkeys are TSA agents because of one of the following three conditions:

1. They are too stupid to get a job any place else, including McDonald’s.
2. They get off on physically molesting people .
3. They are wanting crimes of opportunity for theft .

There are no other options.  While one would say maybe they just need a job, the bottom line is they sold their morals down the river and now are molesting people.  They are molesting people cause obviously they’re too stupid to get a job any place else.  If they just needed a job and didn’t like molesting people they would tell their supervisor to go fuck themselves because the molestation is unlawful.

The TSA is pointless though for yet another reason, it’s the equivalent of defensive fortifications.  If you play defensively you are playing a reactionary game.  The offenses goal is to find holes or methods around your defenses.  You are doing nothing to occupy them or distract them from attacking their goal.  It’s a pointless endeavor that will always end in failure.  How many people do you know that can actually win a game of chess by only playing defensively.  At best they can stalemate, however most like they they are going to loose since they will never take a piece from their opponent.

Anyone who claims the TSA is doing a good job is a mumbling imbecile who couldn’t pour piss out of a boot while reading the directions on the heel.  Day after day, month after month, incident after incident is found that shows just how pointless the TSA is.  Seriously, why do we put up with them and those that work for them?  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, ostracize those who work for the TSA, make them feel uncomfortable, and make sure to tell those dough assed shit hooks exactly what they are.  The Brown Shirts of the 21st century.  If you think I’m wrong remember “Terror must be broken by Terror”.  What else would you call their behavior other than terror?

Linoge posted a blog yesterday on something a little happier than my average State Sponsored Criminal Count series.  I also know some of my more common readers are wondering if I own stock in Pfizer because the series is doing not so nice things to their blood pressure.

So I came across this and while the starting story is bad, I must say it's nice to see that the family isn't getting screwed.

Bandit, a "harmless and gentle dog" that was euthanized after the shooting, never attacked anybody, the family claimed in February.

But that didn't stop Deputy Sheriff William Vernoski from opening a backyard gate and shooting the pup with a .45-caliber pistol from 10 feet away, according to the suit.

Ends up the cop was serving a 9 year old warrant for the ex-husband who hadn't lived there for 7 years.  Awesome police work isn't it, well it gets better!  Ends up he then tried to silence the family by filing a citation claiming the dog escaped and attacked a sheriff.  

Cops hate dogs, there's no question.  Any time a cop shows up at someone's house and they have a dog they seem to die.  Even if it's in it's carrier and poses no threat to the officer.

Thankfully the judge in this case said the cop isn't safe from the civil suit.  It's a small win, but I'll take it.

Sadly, in Carson City Nevada, 3 people were killed, 2 being Guardsmen at IHOP and 8 people were injured.  Locals Barbecue and an H&R Block were also fired upon.  The shooter killed himself, putting the count at 4 dead

This is not limited to third world countries, look at what happened in Lakewood, WA and Fort Hood, TX.  What really bites and pours salt into open wounds is the fact that our men in the military cannot be armed while in uniform.

"I don't know what's happening to my city," Hunter said. "This happens in L.A. or Las Vegas but not here."

Tragedies such as this can happen anywhere.  They are not limited to high profile cities. Look at what happened in little ol’ Moscow, ID.  Loons are found everywhere.

A former district attorney twice sexually assaulted his secretary and threatened to get her fired if she told anyone, the secretary claims in Federal Court.

…

The next day, he forced her to "engage in sexual acts against her will under threat of physical force and retribution in the workplace," according to the complaint. Over the next eight months, the district attorney subjected the woman to physical, sexual and emotional abuse that "altered the terms of her employment," the lawsuit states.

Just to prove it’s not just total hot air:

At the conclusion of the investigation, the state attorney general "admitted that Defendant Gushwa engaged in sexual touching of Plaintiff during work hours through an unlawful exercise of his official duties. Defendant State of Oregon also admitted that Defendant Gushwa threatened Plaintiff with job consequences if she did not remain silent about the sexual relationship."

Honestly I can think of nothing scarier than a corrupt district attorney without any morals.  Then again that would be making the assumption that lawyers have morals.  The woman did evidently seek help from the proper agencies but was ignored.  Again who want’s to piss off the DA that can throw you in jail on his own personal whim.

Because being a DA means you get your way or they get thrown in the hot box.

Nearing the end of this violation, I sobbed even louder as the woman, FOUR TIMES, stuck the side of her gloved hand INTO my vagina, through my pants. Between my labia. She really got up there. Four times. Back right and left, and front right and left. In my vagina. Between my labia. I was shocked -- utterly unprepared for how she got the side of her hand up there. It was government-sanctioned sexual assault

Seriously read the whole story, it’s sad, it’s depressing, and quite frankly it’s also enraging.  But it gets even worse when you see the following:

Despite the wide audience she enjoys, Amy’s story could easily have been lost in the din of routine TSA excess. But because Amy didn’t take it quietly — because she called the TSA employee out for her assault, and because she wrote about it — now she’s facing a legal threat.

The TSA agent — one Thedala Magee — has demanded that Amy pay her $500,000 for Magdee’s distress at being called out.

This could have been your wife, your sister, your mother, or your daughter.  Truthfully the only reason this woman got away with it is because it remained in the shadows.  It is now quite ironic that it is the agent herself, feeling invulnerable because of her position is now drawing more light to it.  There can be no doubt that the TSA will back the effort to help aid in intimidating people into being sheep.

The TSA hires criminals, perverts, and sexual predators.  What did they really expect was going to happen?  It’s not as if they’re hiring the best and brightest.  

State Sponsored Criminal Count: 61 Thedala Magee

Because raping someone when you’re on the clock and a TSA agent is an acceptable practice when used to intimidate other passengers into compliance.

A man who was eating a taco at a Raleigh bus stop says a cop swept-kicked him to the ground, broke his leg and arrested him, then hauled him before a judge who sentenced him to 30 days in jail for contempt, because he could not stand on his broken leg.

This one has left me speechless.  Seriously, cop breaks the guys leg over a beer can that wasn’t his.  Then the judge gave him 30 days for contempt because he couldn’t stand on his broken leg.  What the FUCK!!!  All he was trying to do was eat his lunch while waiting for the bus. This cop was so bored he felt it necessary to physically assault him.  At no time did Artis use or threaten force against the officer, but the officer felt it necessary to initiate force against him.

State Sponsored Criminal Count: 60 (Raleigh PD Officer James Rollins*, and Magistrate Bostrom)

Because when an injury is caused by a cop acting unlawfully, you need to be punished for having said injury.  I mean how else will the judge feel superior?

*From now on if the names of the criminals can be found I’m going to post them either on the count line or earlier in the post.

Two brothers allege in a lawsuit that they were falsely investigated as bank robbers because a Seattle police officer was upset about the way he had been treated at a popular longshoremen's bar that all three men frequented.

Basically this whole incident boils down to your standard guy gets dumped and seeks vendetta against the replacement.  Don’t believe me?

The suit alleges Waters developed a "malice and animus" toward Alan Jeffries shortly before the 2009 incident after Waters broke up with a bartender at the Chelan and saw Jeffries flirt with her. Waters became more jealous after he was excluded from a George Clinton concert attended by Jeffries, the bartender and others.

The officer [Waters] then arrests the two brothers on suspicion of bank robbery despite not matching the actual description.  All charges including the obstruction charge was dropped after the officer didn’t bother to show up at the court hearing.

Basically what’s going on is the PD that is oh so great at letting officers shoot peaceful people, also lets officers arrest people on trumped up charges.  Because why punish an officer for making false or fraudulent arrests?

Because when you’re a cop, no one flirts with your girl and gets away with it.  That’s why they run the jails right?

Sean Jang, a 4-year veteran of the department, was arrested Thursday after a scuffle with his ex-girlfriend.

Jang is charged with aggravated assault, unlawful restraint, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and false imprisonment, according to court documents.

Probably the most telling thing about this article was how it started with a statement that indicated this isn’t the first officer that has had issues in this department.  To then ice the cake though, he is merely on administrative duties while the department investigates.

It’s so good to see our city governments take such good care of their employees.  It’s not every day in this economy you see criminals get such wonderful treatment despite their behavior.

Because if you’re the girlfriend of a cop, you’re job is to do what you’re told or it gets the hose again.
