I noticed earlier today that the woman cop who dumped the paralytic man outta his wheelchair is now charged with felony assault.

Felony assualt on a disabled person, in fact, which makes it a higher grade of felony, I think.

I wonder if a federal prosecutor could make a federal case against her, at least for civil rights violations, or something along those lines.

Hell, for my money, she's a terrorist, to be frank about it. I know that being treated that way by local law enforcement types, and me diabled like that, would terrorize me.

It's funny, though, how these badge heavy cops, (that's what good cops call those who abuse their authority, letting the badge go to their head) always pick on someone who can't fight back. Cowards at heart, IMO.

But, what do I know? Right?

I hope she gets ten years.

An epitaph that suits him very well after the public lynching he deserves.

Sigh.... if there were justice in America, that's how it would go down.


IF is a very dangerous word, Jack. If there was actual justice, if the Neo-cons all suffered simultaneous strokes, if Bush never got the presidency...
If is a word of longing or, in the case of the present context, complacency. If you do or do not do something to change what you believe is a corrupt system.

And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer than anyone would ever get

Do you remember the JAMC?
And reading aloud from magazines
I don't know about you but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
I've never been too good with secrets.

"Surveillance cameras are being removed from police cars and jail cells in an attempt to unclog the courts with suits", Chrisisall reports from City Hall. He was later taken away and beaten, but no video was able to back up his claims, and he left the hospital the next day.
No suit was filed.

Oh I was afraid of this...

To the Tens of Thousands of Rogue Cops
http://www.kirwanesque.com/politics/articles/2008/art27.htm

Not that I give a shit about the police, they got it coming, but this whole concept and aspect will accellerate the downhill slide - cause if joe sixpacks start whacking cops as a retaliatory or pro-active defense against their bullshit, the cops will then start ramping it up in the other direction too, with the rabid authoritarianism of THIS administration behind em, it's a sure bet they'll get authorised to do anything they damn well please...

And then it'll get ugly.
Not puppy ugly either, rabid slavering monster ugly.

I hope to bloody hell the few cops with any decency left are damn scared, they need to be, they need to start cleaning house in an all fired hurry in order to avoid becoming a statistic via guilt by association - fuck the thin blue line, put some of these assholes they KNOW are dirty and have been for years in jail, and do it VERY publicly.

But the core corruption, letting it slide, holding them to a lower standard or none at all has let it go pretty downhill at this point, and I am not entirely sure even that would put the brakes on it.

We're lookin down the barrel of another major inner city riot, I think, and soon, pooled gasoline at this point, and just waiting for the unfortunate spark that sets it off.

If you DO live in a major city, I advise taking some precautions...
No need to freak out, or get all TEOTWAWKI, just sayin, you might wanna have some defense, fire suppression, and a decent stash of canned goods and bottled water, just in case.

Cause I can almost *feel* a riot building, don't ask me how, why or where, but all the predictive indexes are ringing like a belltower, and that's something I am not inclined to ignore.

Update: Nephew is doing much better, apparently they managed to save a hell of a lot more than they thought they could, and who'd thunk it...

The physical therapist got snarled right out of the room, but the girls brought him his playstation and that's been MORE theraputic than anything she likely woulda thought up anyhow - he's a stubborn little cuss, doesn't care how bad it hurts as long as he can still play.

Oh but video games are "bad for kids", uh-huh, I don't see anyone gonna successfully shovelling THAT line of bolus at his mother ever again.

Even if I did reccommend she hold off on buying GTA:San Andreas when he was 10 because ain't no WAY I was gonna explain what more or less amounts to BDSM to him when it comes time to get the casino keys.
(I got him the keys on his savegame while was at school one day, circumventing THAT little problem before it became one..whew.)

I can't say I'm REAL surprised to read something like that, but it's SIGNED...

Some things I wanna add here...

Firstly, another BIG issue in MD is that the force considers anyone below the age of 25 to be less than human, and is downright notorious for abuse of teens...

The juvie judges got so sick of cops "throwing the book" at kids over nothing, and hoping something would stick, back in the early 80's that they just pitch any charges that look iffy, that usually being 90% of them, and pitch anything whatsoever by the BCPD.

So MD cops tend to resort to "street justice" against these kids, counting on the (completely justified) fear of further harrassment and less effective testimony on the grounds of age to keep them out of trouble - which these kids NEED to start circumventing with cameras and recorders.
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Deputy_tasers_high_school_student_agains
t_0219.html

I am going to watch this one, because Sarge Kempel did the RIGHT thing, his asshole buddy wanted some street justice, and delivered it in direct defiance of policy....

Now in the aftermath I wanna see if Kempel stands up, or hides behind the FOP and Police Union to protect the jerk who defied his orders for the sheer sake of sadism.

That will be revealing, will it not ?

Also, lemme explain to you why YOU must have a camera.
You'll note that officer Rivieri probably WOULD have confiscated that kids recorder and pitched it into the harbor if he thought it was live, and things would have turned out differently, yes ?

Also worthy of note is how Sergeant Kuehnleins cruiser camera either "malfunctioned" or the footage "turned up missing" (the dept has changed their story a couple times, mind) on the night he chose to verbally abuse and threaten Brent Darrow.
http://drx.typepad.com/psychotherapyblog/2007/09/brett-darrow-me.html

Don't count on thier cameras to protect you, most especially when every ounce of the footage is in their hands for editing, to be "lost" or buried, and since prosecutors routinely violate discovery without so much as a verbal reprimand, the chances of being able to use it in your defense are not good odds to bet on.

That is, IF the camera is even rolling, case in point.
http://curtmaynardsblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/cop-leaves-woman-in-pool-
of-blood.html


Which brings up something else.

Many folks rely on the old saw
"Just put up with it, the side of the road is no place to argue with a cop, he's going to win that every time, so just knuckle under and let the lawyers sort it out..."
I call bullshit.

Firstly, that doesn't help you one bit if you "have an accident" or "commit suicide" or just (and this is a popular favorite) up and die out of the blue of *giggle,snicker* "excited delirium", which seems like it must be a medical reaction to police custody as not one death from it has ever been reported otherwise.

Second, it sends the wrong goddamn message to these goons, most people DON'T follow the three R's of dealing with a bad cop, they just knuckle under, and accept it because I think we ALL know and admit they will be subject to further harrassment if they press the issue, just like resisting any other street gang.

RECORD, RESIST, RECTIFY.

Record everything possible, if on audio, get names, get badge numbers... SOP in Baltimore is to cover the badge number with black electrical tape and claim it's in mourning for a downed cop.

Make them TELL you their name and badge number, because a great many of them will lie, and this makes it easier to blow their testimony to hell when they shovel it to the prosecutor - some of which even coined a term for it since they depend on it to do their job at all...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testilying

When they ask your consent to be searched, say NO.
When they ask to search your vehicle, say NO.
When they ask you to step out of the vehicle, LOCK IT UP.... an unlocked vehicle is a damned invitation to plant stuff, and some cops with their little prosecutor buddies accept this as express "consent to search".

Don't make it easy for them, don't hand them a gimme - be aware you can DO this wit

All good advice Frem. I had a bad experience with a corrupt judge & PO in GLEN COVE LONG ISLAND (not to name names or anything), and I can verify personally some of what you talked about.

Here's another one for the hitbox.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/metro/5560652.html

"A Harris County sheriff's deputy did not have the authority to go to the home of a man who had photographed an officer at a drug raid or to destroy film in that man's camera, a former local prosecutor testified Thursday.

The testimony surfaced in U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt's court, where a jury is considering a civil rights lawsuit filed by brothers Sean and Erik Ibarra, who were taken to jail six years ago on charges of resisting arrest, but later cleared of any wrongdoing. The Ibarras are suing the four deputies involved in their arrests, Sheriff Tommy Thomas and Harris County for $5 million.

The brothers were arrested at their southeast Houston home on Jan. 4, 2002, when Sean Ibarra took pictures of an officer during a drug raid at their next-door neighbor's house after a neighbor asked him to document how deputies were treating the children there."


Sounds like these two have previous experience with police BS, like being "Arrested for Resisting Arrest" and wanted to counteract it, only to get stomped down.

On a humorous note...

In NYC once I zoomed into a parking spot that a guy was taking too long to decide if he wanted or not (yeah, not great manners, but it WAS NYC). As I got out of my car, two guys stepped out, one my size and one noticeably bigger, and the big one threatened to kick my ass. I was late to a comic convention, so I said "Whatever you're gonna do, do it fast, okay? I'm running late."
Then the guy my size pointed to his friend & said, "Hey man, He's a COP!"
So I said, "ummm...sorry." But I made no move to move my car, City Rules said I got that space fair & square.
So the big guy kicks a dent in my door and turns and leaves. I run in to the con. I gots my priorities....
