But the Mayor said that the boy’s in blue were the only people he wanted in his city with guns. Must be because they’re so honest and honorable.

Because hit and run and driving under the influence is for the lower masses, not police officers!
After Mayor Numb Nut decided to tout how great his officers were and how they are the only ones that should be anointed with the ability to carry firearms, barring even the national guard, I felt this update was fitting.
But that’s all sorts of impossible given the fact that firearms are heavily regulated and he has stated that his officers are special! If it was all a misunderstanding and this man was truly and upright and just LEO wouldn’t the jury have found him not guilty?

Because only the NYPD should have guns, that way the criminals all work for the same person.
Did you all catch that? Suspended, but not fired and charged with breaking the law. Not to mention the fact that evidently this officer can appeal his suspension. Here’s the video from the incident:

Because when you’re a cop there is no such thing as deprivation of rights under color of law.
I saw this last week and I kept trying to come up with something to put with it and then a reader bumped it to me over the weekend. This one is just disturbing in so many ways.
This one makes the count because of the following:
This is why I have serious issues with databases created even with the most noble of intentions. Just because the intent is good at the beginning or even the majority of users doesn’t mean that it cannot be turned by one individual set upon evil. The details are just sickening.
It makes me wonder if he came across this(NSFW, Not Safe For Work, seriously do NOT click at work! What can I say? GBC has corrupted me.) and didn’t realize that was all fake.
This is disturbing and sickening on so many levels.

Because the state exists to enable criminals and cannibals to find their unwitting victims to prey upon.

Someone bumped me this across twitter and initially I thought it was SSCC material. The more I thought about it though it’s really hard to tell.
Now it is worth noting, they were evidently in a house talking with residents. It appears that this was their dog, it was not during the execution of a no-knock, however the officers were there searching for a wanted individual.
First let me note, don’t ever let the police into your house, even if you call them. Second of all, keep your animals away from the officers. It is difficult to tell if the officer was really being attacked. I have to say if I was attacked by a dog I wouldn’t just try and push it away. The dog is probably going to be injured from my kicking it and it will be followed shortly there after with a shot.
I don’t know of anyone who would just push a dog away when being “attacked”. Maybe the dog was wanting attention, who knows? But the owner then tried to intervene to protect the dog, obviously late to the party because he reacted as it went south.
My guess is the dog was hopping up and putting his paws on the officer, the officer drew his gun to shoot after pushing the dog away didn’t work, because you know that’s a serious threat right there. You know, so serious it’s worth discharging your firearm with other people present. When the owner saw the officer start to draw his gun he attempted to restrain the dog and the officer already having made the decision ended up shooting the dog as well as the owner.
The big issue here is how readily and quickly officers will descend to the use of lethal force, even against an animal when it’s most frequently unnecessary. It’s getting to the point where even lawful uses of force could be seen as yet another example of puppycide since it’s become so common.
The answer is to have officers use their heads. The problem is they’re never held accountable for their decisions so there’s no incentive to think prior to acting.
The quickest way to look at this is the fact that had this been any average citizen and not and officer, the would be arrested and probably jailed for their reckless actions. Bottom line is he wasn’t sure of his target and what’s beyond it, which in a dynamic scene like that is difficult. Either way though it is yet another indicator of problems in the system.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports (http://bit.ly/XONxx8) Greg Luther claims in the $400,000 suit that he wanted to photograph a car crash that damaged his fence and retaining wall. Officer Brian Blumenberg told him he could not photograph the crime scene.
Officer Blumenberg’s response when the victim asked to speak to his supervisor?
Really? That wasn’t excessive force? That wasn’t an unlawful arrest either, especially considering that was damage to his personal property. Damage that he would need to document himself for insurance purposes. Who in their right mind trains their officers to deal with the public in such a manner? Who thinks that using force of any kind in that situation is acceptable? Oh that’s right, our would be masters.
State Sponsored Criminal #440: Officer Brian Blumenberg
Because when someone calls the police about damage to their property and politely asks if they can document it, beat the hell out of them. Doubly so when they decide to challenge your authority by asking for a supervisor within their rights.
Thankfully they dropped the charges against the victim. It is worth noting that most likely it was video of the incident which saved this man’s bacon. Which is ironic considering the efforts officers will go through to prevent people from recording their interactions with the public.
Now hopefully the DA will step up and do the right thing and charge this corrupt bully with a badge.

Because cops are better than everyone else, didn’t you get that memo!?

This isn’t the first time that Maricopa County has ended up in the count. This time though it’s just as disturbing as the first incident.
Jennifer Braillard filed the lawsuit after her mother Deborah was left to die in a Maricopa County jail.
Oh it is exactly as bad as it seems, rage barely begins to describe my feelings when I saw this:
By the time she was rushed to the hospital, Deborah Braillard had slipped into a diabetic coma.
As expected the jailers claimed they were never informed and all evidence that would prove they were was lost or destroyed. Amazing how that happens isn’t it?
State Sponsored Criminal #439: John Doe
Because instead of just killing someone you can let them slowly die and suffer from their medical condition. Then if anyone asks you can just claim you didn’t know and destroy the evidence you did.
