Even when bad cops face consequences, police union rules often insulate them from punishment—even for "vile and disgusting" behavior. In 2016, officers with the San Antonio Police Department cleared a homeless encampment from a private parking lot. Matthew Luckhurst, a bike patrol officer involved in the effort, was trying to get the residents to clean up on their way out when he allegedly offered a homeless man a shit sandwich—literally, dog feces on bread.

Newly released body-camera footage appears to show an unidentified Jacksonville, Florida, Sheriff's Office law-enforcement officer shooting and killing a man holding an axe after refusing an order to put it down and attempting to talk to the officer. The shooting happened in Jacksonville last April. According to First Coast News, police were called out by a report of a "mentally ill" man cutting power to people's homes and vandalizing them. Body camera footage shows an officer encountering Kevin Mahan, 43, on a property, standing behind some bushes. He was holding an axe, but seemingly alone and not threatening anybody. The officer approaches and orders Mahan several ...

A Brush, Colorado, man is facing 12 years in prison for possessing child pornography. Even more fraught is that no one, including the government, thinks he had child pornography. At least not in any traditional sense. Bradley Bass allegedly ran afoul of state law when he was found with explicit images of a local girl. But the 32-year-old high school principal came to have those photos in the course of a school sexting investigation carried out as a part of his job. The girl says she isn't a victim of Bass' and both she and her parents have pled with law enforcement to stop the prosecution. Click for Full Text!

Public backlash can lead government to reverse power overreaches, and to do so quickly. On Tuesday of last week, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to authorize police to use drones or robots to kill via remote control in the California city. Then, a week later — on Tuesday of this week, the board reversed course, voting to prohibit this siccing of killer robots or drones on people. The board voted 8-3 for the reversal — the same vote total by which the board the week before had approved the police using robots or drones to kill. Click for Full Text!
Paul Pelosi Is Attacked, So Naturally the Capitol Police Want More Money

Never let a good crisis go to waste. This has been the organizing principle of the political elite during the turmoil, both real and manufactured, of the past couple of years. The federal government, using pandemic-induced fear, expanded tremendously during this time frame (read more on that here and here). This is indicative of a wider problem with bureaucracy called budget maximization. Bureaucrats act to maximize their respective budgets to obtain more power. This is more than likely a main driver of the massive budget deficits the federal government has been running over the past three fiscal years. Bureaucracies use excuses such as rising crime and increased deaths. To justify their ...

The coronavirus has slowed much American police work, but the rate of police killings has remained relatively unchanged. Chandan Khanna/AFP/Getty Images The pandemic has slowed much American police work, but police are still working. “As of May 17, 375 people had been shot and killed by on-duty police officers in 2020—about the same rate as other recent years despite the coronavirus pandemic,” Wesley Lowery, who helped track killings at The Washington Post, observed on Tuesday. Just a day before, a 46-year-old black man named George Floyd was killed by a white Minneapolis police officer who pinned him to the ground, kneeling on his neck for five minutes. Floyd’s last ...

Illustrating the sadistic and predatory nature of those who claim to “keep us safe,” for five years, Pasquale Salas terrorized a young girl he met on Minecraft. For much of that time Salas was a police officer. Not until he was caught in the act and arrested in 2019 did the Matagorda County Sheriff’s Office fire him. Last week, Salas pleaded guilty to federal charges of cyberstalking and sexual exploitation of a minor after prosecutors say he coerced a young girl into sending explicit videos and photos of herself to him and then threatening harm to she and her family once she tried to break it off. The girl, whose name is being withheld because she was a minor and a victim of ...

In rural America, cops are delivering groceries to vulnerable residents Major Bobby Reed of the Bourbon County, Kansas, sheriff's department had an idea when he saw that some stores were offering special hours just for elderly customers during the coronavirus crisis: He would start making grocery and prescription deliveries for at-risk residents himself. "These people don't need to get out. They're in a vulnerable age group," the 10-year veteran of the department thought. So he posted on Facebook that he'd volunteer to deliver to elderly residents, shoppers with disabilities and veterans. His rural county, located five miles east of the Missouri border, has ...

Then he gave her his N95 medical masks Trooper gives doctor medical masks instead of speeding ticket 02:35 (CNN)A Minnesota state trooper moved a doctor to tears when he turned what should have been a speeding ticket into a heartwarming act of kindness. Dr. Sarosh Ashraf Janjua, a cardiologist at a coronavirus quarantine unit in Duluth, was pulled over by Trooper Brian Schwartz for speeding on March 21. But instead of a ticket, Schwartz handed Janjua five N95 masks he was supposed to use as protection -- along with a firm warning for speeding. "I burst into tears. And though it may just have been the cold wind, I think he ...

Oklahoma City, OK — Another homicide of an unarmed mentally-ill civilian took place again last year at the hands of law enforcement. And while most police officers enjoy special protections under the law, called “qualified immunity from prosecution,” this time, an Oklahoma City police officer was charged with second-degree murder and sentenced to 10 years. In November, a jury convicted former officer Keith Sweeney of second-degree murder and recommended he spend 10 years in prison for it. This month, a judge agreed and handed down the ten years. Oklahoma County District Judge Natalie Mai handed down the sentence last week, telling Sweeney he shouldn’t be ...

Two siblings are outraged at the shooting death of their brother. An employee at a Dayton Dollar General gunned him down. Tragically, 23-year-old Roosevelt Rappley was fired upon inside the store along the 2200 block of North Gettysburg Avenue Wednesday night. Siblings Rochelle and Tone Rappley are furious. Rochelle told local Channel 7 the worker had no business having a gun onsite to start with, let alone fatally targeting her brother. Horribly, Roosevelt’s the pair’s second of ten siblings to perish from gun violence. “[W]rong is wrong. That was wrong for that clerk to shoot my brother in the chest…” Tone’s in complete shock: “I still don’t ...

I know, I know, a few bad apples…, but I also know a few good ones too. With that said, calling out criminal and corrupt police officers is the duty of the media and the people. After all, COPS has a complete hour to push propaganda that every cop and every bust is legitimate and lawful, but you’ll never see an episode of COPS exposing police corruption or criminality, not one. Thus, this is why we exist and that is to promote reporting on the crimes or not just politicians, but those entrusted to uphold and enforce the law, something by the way that citizens in the militia should be enforcing. According to the YouTube description: Ellie Flynn investigates the ...

After the Parkland school shooting, Florida lawmakers passed a so-called "red flag" law that aims to keep guns out of the hands of people deemed to be a threat to others or themselves. The new law went into effect March 9, quickly stoking concern among people about lost freedom. A March 18 headline posted on the Free Thought Project said, "It begins: Florida police now confiscating guns from people with no due process." The post went on to say a man in Lighthouse Point — in Broward County, like Parkland — had his guns taken away before he was determined to be mentally unfit and before he was accused of a crime, making him the first person in the state to ...
