A city cop was charged with assault early Monday following a domestic dispute at his Brooklyn home, the NYPD said.

Hmm, and is it any surprise that Bloomberg only wants his army armed within New York?

Because in Mayor Bloomberg’s world only the members of his army should be armed, everyone else is at their mercy.

“With a terrorist on the loose and literally thousands of police and even military officials searching to no avail, suddenly the idea of having an AR-15 handy to keep a dangerous terrorist from conducting his grand finale in *your* house with *your* loved ones starts to make a hell of a lot of sense, don’t it?”

Tim – The Idiocy of “Outdated”

April 25th, 2013

[Despite the complete trampling of civil liberties, was it a LEO who found the fugitive?  Was it in an area where citizens could easily and readily obtain arms for their own defense?

Tell me, why is it that people grabbed cameras instead of shooting the assailants who were threatening their neighborhood.  Oh calling the police worked great all right, turned the neighborhood into a total war zone and endangered the lives of additional people.  Instead of fighting back to defend themselves and in so doing aiding law enforcement that was risking their lives to protect them, they grabbed a camera.

They grabbed a camera instead of firing one round and taking down the last assailant.  Instead of firing from an elevated position with a clear line of fire to the aggressors, they grabbed a camera.  They grabbed a camera and instead gave the government an excuse to abuse their neighbors and friends at gun point.  They grabbed a camera instead of taking the risk that goes with freedom and liberty.  They grabbed a camera and signed their name as a supporting participant in the death of American Liberty. -B]

A veteran Seattle police officer pleaded not guilty today to an assault charge stemming from a confrontation with a handcuffed man who had assaulted the officer’s wife, also a Seattle police officer, during an incident in September.

Now this isn’t that I do not understand, but officers are expected to adhere to and respect the law.  They are to lead by example.

Because when you’re a cop and someone attacks your wife, you get a free pass to go beat the hell out of the SOB who did it.

But a TSA supervisor was himself caught on videotape last month stealing 12 Tylenol pills from a passenger’s luggage in Syracuse, according to a police report.

Stealing Tylenol, really?  I thought by the headline he was stealing prescription pain killers.  He was either fired or resigned that day and there has been no word of criminal charges.

Because with the war on drugs, when you see some drugs steal them.  You can figure out what they are later.

Ken Anderson faces three felony charges, including concealing evidence. Anderson was the district attorney who prosecuted Michael Morton in 1987.

Morton spent 25 years in prison before DNA evidence proved his innocence. Anderson’s attorney plans to challenge Friday’s ruling.

Another person within the prosecutors office acted to protect Mr. Anderson and did everything possible to prevent the evidence from being admitted.

25 years of a mans life gone.  All because this prosecutor lived by the following mantra

It takes a good prosecutor to convict a guilty man, it takes a great prosecutor to convict an innocent one.

Remember that the next time you think about what happened in Boston last Friday.  Doubly so since there’s no correlation between the law and justice.

Because when you’re too lazy to find the real killed, throw the innocent man who lost his loved one in prison.  When the real killer kills again, just play dumb.

Given today is the 20th anniversary of the end of the Waco siege, it stands to reason that I would place that event on the list.  The acts committed this day were horrible and no one was ever held accountable for the decisions and actions that led to the deaths of 76 people, including 27 children.

I remember coming home from school that day.  I remember going up to my dad while he sat in his chair fixated on the TV.  I do not remember what it was I had done that I wanted his attention for.  I do remember him promptly picking me up as I started to speak and putting me on his lap while telling me to be quiet.  When I looked at the TV, this is what I saw.

BRANCH DAVIDIAN

At the time I didn’t understand what was going on.  I didn’t understand what my dad knew happened 8 months earlier.

I was in 3rd grade, I had no real concept of the details of what was going on.  Later I would receive that education, my dad would make sure I was aware of what I saw in the flickering glow of that television.  This day marks one of two major events that molded my relationship with the state.  It was a lesson delivered front and center about power and the abuses that can be dealt to citizens without any fear of consequence.

I am not putting a number with this.  Frankly I’m getting tired of trying to keep track of which number I’m on.  Further this event was so horrible and had so many actors one can not easily list them, much less enumerate them.

Because by all means kill the victims you claim to be there to save, that’s how you make yourself look good right?

The original count post on Murray County can be seen here.

A second former Murray County law enforcement officer has pleaded guilty to obstructing a civil rights investigation connected to a former Murray County judge.

At that time, the U.S. attorney’s office is expected to recommend dismissal of a second charge related to removing information from his cellphone. Greeson could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison, probation for up to three years and a fine of up to $250,000.

How kind to allow such plea bargaining when the rights of citizens are on the line.

Because by all means when he fesses up to the end result of his crime, sweep the rest of his crimes he did in the process under the rug.
