"Public Authority," Drone Murders, and the Death of the Rule of Law


by William Norman Grigg

In America, wrote Thomas Paine, ?the law is king.? In a totalitarian state, Vladimir Lenin wrote more than a century later, rulers exercise ?power without limit, resting directly on force, restrained by no laws.?

Lenin?s formula was a blunt expression of what is known as the ?public authority justification? for government action. That doctrine, as explained by one legal scholar, holds that ?Deeds which otherwise would be criminal, such as taking or destroying property, taking hold of a person by force and against his will ? or even taking his life, are not crimes if done with proper public authority.?

In other words, government can give itself permission to break the law. This claim is central to the recently-released 2010 Justice Department memorandum defending the Obama administration?s claim that the president can order the summary execution of US citizens through drone strikes. All that is necessary is for the president to designate a targeted citizen as an unlawful combatant. Once this is done, the extra-judicial murder is sanitized by the miracle of ?public authority,? thereby becoming a supposedly lawful exercise of war powers.

This is the doctrine the permitted Barack Obama to authorize the murder of a 16-year-old US citizen ? an act, and a claim, demonstrating that the rule of law is dead.

In fact, every law has an exception exactly for when the act is done with proper public authority. Without that, punishing for any law violations would be impossible. So it applies to the drone strike as well as to less exotic incarcerating a felon, which without this exception would be impossible as well. so there is an exception for child rape?

Facebook Video Shows Cops Grab Man's Camera, Assault Him & His 58-Year-Old Mother


A video posted to facebook today shows two belligerent cops assault a man and his mother.

The man filming is Richard Phillips who was at his mother?s house today when two Wareham, Massachusetts police officers, Chandler and Verhaegen showed up at the door.

It is unclear as to why the officers were there, but they were questioning the mother and she responded by saying she was ?drinking strawberry milk and smoking a cigarette.?

Phillips clearly announces that he is filming as required by Massachusetts state law when interacting with police.

However, this does not stop officer Verhaegen from barging in and grabbing at Phillips? camera.

During the forced entry into the house, the officers struck Phillips? mother in the face.

Phillips then dials 9-1-1 to report to the uniformed gang members that there are uniformed gang members at his house.

About halfway through the video, officer Chandler is seen holding his foot against the door, not allowing Phillips? mother to shut it.

At this point the officers state that they are not there for an arrest which could make the unauthorized entry into the house, illegal.

The Free Thought Project has contacted the Wareham Police Department and they have declined to comment on the incident. We have also reached to Richard Phillips but have yet to receive a reply.

California Cop Turns Aggressive on Accident Victim in the Name of "Safety"


By Carlos Miller

Once again, a cop?s fear for his life led him to believe he was justified in physically injuring a man, even though the man was already reeling from an automobile accident that left the car on its side.

The incident took place in Chico, California June 10 after Joseph Rosales, 64, crashed his SUV into a building. Rosales said his dog hopped into his lap, causing him to lose control of his car.

Somebody called 911 as several citizens rushed up to help. At least two people pulled out their cameras to record.

Chico police officer David Bailey arrived on the scene to save the day, ordering Rosales to climb out of the car.

?Get out of the car now!? Bailey yelled.

But Rosales was concerned about his dog. ?He also suggested that perhaps he could crawl out the back if somebody would open the trunk.

But Bailey was concerned that the building was about to collapse on him.

?I don?t want to be killed because you?re getting your dog,? he shouted.

Is this East Germany, or Northern Idaho? Yes.


William Norman Grigg

Two young men from Coeur d?Alene, Idaho had just ended their shifts working in the productive sector when they were accosted and harassed by two costumed tax-feeders. One of the bored but ambitious officers claimed to have overheard one of their gainfully employed betters make a comment about a ?nickel bag? ? which would be a reference to the dreaded devil weed, marijuana.

When confronted by the aggressive and dim-witted armed stranger, the young man patiently explained that he had actually referred to the Canadian band Nickelback, which has inflicted immeasurably greater damage to society (especially to innocent music consumers burdened with good taste) than marijuana or most other proscribed substances. The officer pretended that his misunderstanding constituted ?reasonable suspicion? and continued to interrogate and harass the young men, which eventually resulted in one of them being shackled after he ?violently? (the officer?s word) reached into the back seat of his vehicle.

This ?isn?t an arrest,? one of the deputies insisted, claiming that the degrading assault and public humiliation of the innocent man was necessary for the ?safety? of the officers and the victims ? the latter comment an implicit acknowledgment that the officers considered themselves entitled to injure, mutilate, or murder either or both of the victims if given an excuse to do so.

Unfortunately, the victims in this clip were far too accommodating in dealing with the cops, answering their impertinent questions and even inviting a search of the vehicle. Never indulge, for as much as a picosecond, the idea that a police officer is a reasonable individual who will give you the benefit of the doubt: They are seeking to cage you, not clear you, and they don?t care if you?ve done nothing wrong.

The behavior of the officers, who appeared to be with the Kootenai County Sheriff?s Office, is quite similar to that of prison guards, which is quite appropriate. Prisoners are subject to physical search, interrogation, and summary punishment at the whim of their uniformed overseers. A very similar state of affairs exists outside of prison walls in the US(S)A, as well.

At the title of this video recognizes, there is no sense in which behavior of this kind ? which is utterly typical of police in northern Idaho and throughout the soyuz ? can be construed as ?serving? or ?protecting? the public. Lurking beneath the superficial politeness and supposed professionalism of these two armed functionaries is a cultivated reflex for predatory authoritarianism suitable for service in an undisguised police state.

I had a lovely trip through their jail once...bastards. I don't even eat potatoes from there anymore. 9 of the 11 females in my pod were from washington state. They will stop and arrest you for nnothing especially if you have washington plates. I hate idaho and all things idahoan In Utah, California and Colorado plates are targeted. The drug-nazis know that time is short. They are in a last-chance feeding frenzy. How empty their souls and wallets will be when the Golden-Years of Drug-War-Piracy finally come to a close. Think retribution. Drug-War retribution. Keep track of them. After the collapse they should be interned re-education camps. Their homes sold at auction with the proceeds given back to those that were stolen from or wronged. East Germany was freedomland compared to what we got.

Cop Shot In Face Ambushing Resident In No-Knock Raid


This is NOT whether the ACCUSED was a nice guy or not. This is about the ACCUSER (police) using an ambush method in order to make an arrest. The tactic is almost always bound to cause an adverse reaction, one in which I think certain people on the force want. After all...the now can say, see, they want us dead.

I feel bad his superiors put him in that position but he should have been smarter and said NO.

The "no-knock" tactic should be called ambushing and when you ambush people they are startled and prone to act out of normal human behavior of self preservation.

On the scale of stupidity the no-knock ambush is probably a 9.

Lets not forget the official fairytale that people in this country are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Ambushing a pot-smoker at 5:30 in the morning damaging his house and risking the lives of everyone involved is not presuming innocence, its presuming guilt. This guy did not have the codes to a nuclear bomb...he was an alleged common drug dealer.

The problem is not even in the cop or in his superiors; the problem is in the morons in jury who will undoubtedly find the guy guilty, followed by death sentence or life in prison conviction. If the jury returned not guilty verdict, _that_ would be a lesson. Wells stop the bullshit drugwar and this kind of thing wouldn't happen.you only have yourself to blame! U brought it upon yourself! And this is what happens..oh well shoulda woulda coulda but u r no mora.succkas! Good. More of these thugs in blue should be shot when they violate our civil rights. Hell with them, kill them as they have killing citizens during no knock, wrong house raids and stuff. no knock raids ?
for weed ?

Florida Man Arrested after Video Recording Deputies Mishandling Checkpoint


By Carlos Miller

A Florida man who regularly video records DUI checkpoints to ensure police are operating in compliance of the law was arrested Friday night, moments after he had recorded Hillsborough County deputies falling out of compliance, which he believes may have been to wave a fellow cop through the checkpoint without having to be checked for sobriety.

Even if there was no cop in the car that was allowed to pass through, it created enough of an inconsistency from the predetermined protocol to make all the other stops from?that night unconstitutional.

And that is probably why they wanted him removed.

Wally Sullivan, 59, ?was stripped of his camera and handcuffed , then transported to the sheriff?s office where he was fingerprinted and released within an hour.

They kept his camera as ?evidence,? even though they had no legal right to do so considering he is not being accused of using his camera in the commission of a crime.

They didn?t realize he had another camera in a pouch around his neck, which is from where the posted videos come from; the top video being the shortened version, the bottom video the extended version, well worth the 30 minutes.

This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories


by Phillip Smith

Last week may have been slow on the police corruption front, but we make up for it this week. A Washington SWAT team member goes bad, an NYPD officer pays for going bad, a former Colorado sheriff also pays a price, an Arkansas cop gets nailed for protecting what he thought were dope loads, and, of course, more jail and prison guards get in trouble. Let's get to it:

In Seattle, a King County sheriff's deputy was arrested last Thursday for stealing and reselling ammunition from his SWAT team, peddling dope, and pimping out his wife. Darrion Keith Holiwell, 49, went down amidst a broader investigation into corruption among King County deputies, and the department says more arrests could follow. Holiwell may have sold as much as $45,000 worth of brass bullet casings, which he allegedly used to buy expensive guns for himself and other SWAT team members. He came under investigation after another deputy told the department he may have been physically abusing his estranged wife, and she told investigators he suggested she work as a prostitute and helped her post online ads. He is also charged with selling testosterone to a civilian, and the department says he was likely selling it to other members of the department. Police also found prescription drugs, steroids, and ecstasy when they searched his home. He's in jail under $150,000 bond and awaiting a court hearing next week.

In Ada, Oklahoma, a Pontotoc County jail guard was arrested last Thursday after he was caught trying to smuggle contraband, including marijuana, tobacco, and rolling papers into the county jail. Guard Devin Adams has pleaded not guilty and is out on $50,000 bond.

In Little Rock, Arkansas, a former Little Rock police officer was convicted last Wednesday of charges related to escorting a van he thought was filled with marijuana. Randall Robinson was found guilty of lying to investigators, but acquitted of other charges, including conspiracy to distribute marijuana and attempting to possess marijuana with the intent to distribute. He went down in an FBI sting. No word yet on his sentencing.

In New York City, an NYPD officer was convicted last Thursday of committing a series of violent drug and money rip-offs with a gang of no-gooders. Jose Tejada, 46, a 17-year veteran of the force, was convicted of armed robbery and drug trafficking for participating in three robberies of drug dealers in the Bronx in 2006 and 2007 in which the robbers scored thousands of dollars in cash and cocaine. Tejada was in uniform for at least one of the robberies and used it to gain access to a home where he thought drug dealers were, but which actually belonging to an innocent family. He's looking at up to life in prison.

In Albany, Georgia, a former Pelham jail guard was sentenced last Wednesday to 15 months in federal prison for taking bribes from inmates to smuggle contraband, including marijuana, into the Mize Street Detention Facility. Christopher Cox, 35, is the second jail guard there to be sentenced for contraband smuggling in two weeks. He copped to one count of conspiracy to smuggle contraband into a detention facility in exchange for bribes.

In Centennial, Colorado, the former Arapahoe County sheriff was sentenced last Thursday to 15 months in prison for repeatedly violation his probation after he was convicted of swapping meth for sex with young men. Patrick Sullivan, 71, had been sentenced to two years, but jail time had been in abeyance while he was on probation. He repeatedly tested positive for meth while on probation. Sullivan was the National Sheriff's Association "sheriff of the year" in 2001. He retired the following year, and then went over to the dark side.

If The Clintons Are Worth 50 Million, Why Do They Get Nearly A Million A Year From The Taxpayers?


By Michael Snyder

Since leaving the White House, the Clintons have earned at least 100 million dollars and currently have a net worth of up to 50 million dollars.? So why in the world do the taxpayers need to give Bill Clinton $944,000 to fund his extravagant lifestyle in 2014?? If ordinary Americans truly understood how much money many former politicians are being handed every year they would go bananas.? According to a Congressional Research Service report that was published earlier this year, the federal government has given a total of nearly 16 million dollars to Bill Clinton since 2001.? Each one of those dollars is a dollar that some U.S. taxpayer worked really hard for or that we had to borrow.? Yes, we don't want our former presidents to go broke for a whole bunch of reasons, but it is absolutely absurd that we are showering them with millions upon millions of dollars.

Yesterday, I wrote about the trouble that Hillary has caused for herself by claiming that the Clintons were "dead broke" when they left the White House.

The way things have been set up, there is no way in the world that any former president is going to be "dead broke" ever again unless the law is changed.

According to?the Washington Post, Bill Clinton has been receiving about a million dollars a year "for office space, staff, and a pension" since he left office...

According to an April report from the Congressional Research Service, Bill Clinton has received nearly $16 million in pensions and benefits from the federal government since leaving office. That includes $944,000 in fiscal year 2014 for office space, staff, and a pension.
That is insanely wasteful.

But wait, there's more.

George W. Bush is actually receiving more money from the taxpayers?than Clinton is each year...

Bush the younger is costing taxpayers $1.28 million this year, and averages 4 per cent more annual than Clinton.

The government's General Services Administration inexplicably budgeted $102,000 for Bush's telephone expenses in 2014, and planned to spend $135,000 more on furniture, computers, office supplies and other miscellany.

How in the world is George W. Bush racking up $102,000 in phone expenses a year?

Does he have the world's worst calling plan?

And of course what we spend on our former presidents is peanuts compared to what we spend on our current president.

According to author Robert Keith Gray, approximately 1.4 billion dollars is spent on the Obamas every year.? Here are just a few nuggets from his book...

-The Obamas have the "biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever".

-Obama has 469 senior staff working directly under him, and 226 of them make more than $100,000 a year.

-There is always at least one projectionist at the White House 24 hours a day just in case there is someone that wants to watch a movie.

-The "dog handler" for the family dog Bo reportedly makes $102,000 per year and sometimes he is even flown to where the family is vacationing so that he can care for the dog.

Yes, the White House needs a large staff.

But at this point we spend more on our presidents than any nation on the planet does on their entire royal families.

Over the years, the political elite have tilted the rules of the game dramatically in their favor.? Neither political party objects because they both benefit from riding on the endless gravy train.

If you can believe it, there are close to 15,000 retired federal employees that are currently collecting federal pensions for life worth at least $100,000 annually.? This list includes names such as Newt Gingrich, Bob Dole, Trent Lott, Dick Gephardt and Dick Cheney.

And most people are astounded to hear that more than 4 million dollars a year is spent on the "personal" and "office" expenses of each U.S. Senator.

Not that they need the money.? As I wrote about recently, more than half of the members of Congress are millionaires at this point, and nearly 200 of them are multimillionaires.

Politics in America has become a game that is played by the elite for the benefit of the elite.? If it seems like they are "out of touch" with ordinary Americans that is because they are.

Meanwhile, things just continue to get even tougher for the middle class.? Even though money is flowing like wine in Washington D.C. for the moment,?a brand new Gallup survey discovered that 58 percent of Americans believe that the economy is getting worse.

It is shameful that our politicians are living like rock stars while tens of millions of American families are suffering so deeply.? For example, consider the case of?Andrew and Kristen Cummins...

Andrew and Kristen Cummins and their 8-year-old son Colton have been in and out of homelessness for the past four years.

It all started when Andrew moved to Indiana for a temporary warehouse job that was supposed to turn into a full-time job. But instead he said he was let go as soon as the company would have had to start providing him with full-time benefits.

Since then, he has worked at several other temporary jobs that haven't turned into full-time work either.

Kristen has been in the same position: She has also had temporary jobs, but nothing has stuck.

So for now, the three stay at a local homeless shelter called the Haven House. Since women and men are required to sleep in separate areas, Andrew doesn't get to see his wife or son after 9 p.m. each night.

There are millions of other families just like them that are scratching and clawing their way through life the best that they can.

Perhaps our politicians should actually do something to help them instead of sitting back and living the high life at our expense.

Soviet-Style Courtroom Censorship: "It's Just Protocol"


William Norman Grigg

During the Soviet era, foreign journalists and tourists would frequently have their cameras confiscated by the KGB, a practice that remains quite common in contemporary police states -- including the one being consolidated here in the United States.

"I was at the local courthouse just now for the court appearance of Hope Solo, the U.S. soccer player charged with domestic violence," a Seattle-area reporter and LRC reader informed me. In the courtroom one of the officers there told everyone there no photography was allowed, nor video or audio recording, and he would confiscate cell phones if he felt they were recording or photographing Solo. A coworker of mine came to take photos and was outside the courtroom when the officer explained the rules, as she was trying to get a photo of Hope Solo as she arrived. After my coworker came into the courtroom when Solo appeared I told her she couldn?t take photos in there and needed to go to an area in the back with a wall and glass window, where other media persons were photographing and recording. My coworker walked over there with her camera and the officer immediately followed her there."

The reporter's colleague, it should be emphasized, had not taken a photograph, and was in compliance with the court's instructions. But this didn't deter the officer from pursuing her, assaulting her, and stealing her camera.

Without a word, the officer seized the camera "and walked back into the courtroom," the reporter relates. "When [his colleague] said she hadn?t taken any photos he said `I know' and walked away. The Seattle Times photographer next to her told both of us it was the first time in his career he had seen a law enforcement officer confiscate a reporter?s camera in a courtroom."

As was the case in Soviet Russia, only State-authorized purveyors of officially approved content (somehow the word "journalist" seems inapposite) are permitted to make records of judicial proceedings in Seattle, and elsewhere in the American soyuz.

"Apparently there is a `pool' in which only State-approved media persons are allowed to take photos, one videographer and one photographer and the photos get sent out through the wire," the reporter points out.

"Putting the legality of any of this rule aside, the young officer behaved like a mindless drone," continues the correspondent. "Unless he had no observational skills he might have noticed she was not in the courtroom at the time, as there were only a handful of news people, or he could have simply told her when he spoke to her about the rule and asked her not to take photos rather than stealing her camera. When my coworker said it was unnecessary for him to be so rude he said `it?s just protocol.'"

"Apparently being an uncivil thug is now protocol for someone whose average pay in Kirkland is $74,000," concludes the justifiably disgusted and admirably candid reporter. "You think with all that money they could afford to hire someone to teach them manners."

New Emails Show That Feds Instructed Police To Lie About Using Stingray Mobile Phone Snooping


by Mike Masnick

We've been covering the increasingly widespread use of Stingray or similar mobile phone tower spoofing equipment by law enforcement. The stories have been getting increasingly bizarre lately, starting with the news that police were claiming that non-disclosure agreements prevented them from getting a warrant to use the technology. And then, there was the recent news that the federal government was regularly stepping in to claim ownership of documents related to the technology (even when it's used by local police) in order to block them from being obtained under Freedom of Information laws. Just this morning, we wrote about some new evidence that police are claiming they need these devices to stop "weapons of mass destruction," though they then just use them to spy on people suspected of everyday crimes instead.

Late last night, the ACLU came out with perhaps the most explosive information so far: a set of internal police emails showing that the US Marshals have been instructing police to lie to courts about the use of such devices. Specifically, rather than revealing the use of the tool, they're told to just tell the court they got the information from a "confidential source." While affidavits may initially note the use of such a device, the police are told to submit a new affidavit after the fact without mentioning the Stingray, and seal the old one, so that it never becomes public. The key parts of the email are highlighted below:

This is highly questionable. Just to repeat: this is the federal government loaning out equipment to spoof mobile phone towers to spy on people and then instructing (practically demanding) that the police hide or suppress this information by claiming that it came from a "confidential source" and by sealing any affidavits that accidentally mention the use of the equipment. As the ACLU notes this practice "deprives defendants of their right to challenge unconstitutional surveillance ." It also seems like a fairly straightforward due process violation. This even goes beyond "parallel construction" in which illegal surveillance is concealed by "recreating" it in other ways. In this case, you have illegally obtained evidence... and then police are just told to lie to the court about it.

This is stunningly bad.

As some legal experts are quick to note, this seems like an astoundingly stupid move by both the US Marshals and the local police who took them up on their request. That link, includes quotes from a number of legal experts interviewed by Cyrus Farivar at Ars Technica, some of whom are actually supportive of the use of Stingrays, but who note that this effort could very well be fraud on the court.

The Utter Uselessness of Police: Two Recent Examples from Idaho


William Norman Grigg

Two recent incidents in Idaho illustrated the value of armed self-defense, and the uselessness of government law enforcement, as a means of defending personal property.

On Sunday morning (June 22), Kuna resident Tricia Gillaspy and her husband awoke to find a naked stranger in their bedroom. After the intruder fled into the bathroom, Mr. Gillaspy grabbed a gun and ordered him from the home while his wife dialed 911. Although the intoxicated man -- by this time clad in shorts -- left the house, he continued to loiter on the couple's property. While waiting for the police to arrive, the couple took inventory of the damage done by the uninvited visitor, a 25-year-old man identified as Matthew Coomes, who had flooded their kitchen and defecated on the living room carpet before redecorating their walls in the same medium.

When the cops arrived, they gave Coomes two citations and gave him a ride home.

"What are you doing?" exclaimed Mrs. Gillaspy in astonishment and disgust. "This guy deserves to go to jail!"

Of course, putting him in jail would merely have compelled others to pay for his upkeep. In a reasonably free society, Coomes would have been required to make restitution for the damage he had inflicted on the Gillaspy family's property. The officers weren't there to help the victims of the property crime receive restitution, but to monetize that crime for the benefit of the municipal corporation that employs them. If Coomes fails to pay the citation, this act -- unlike his invasion of the Gillaspy home and the damage he did to it -- will be treated as a criminal offense.

Ada County prosecutors are considering a charge of felonious injury to property, since the damage is estimated to be well in excess of $1,000. If Coomes is convicted of that offense, the beneficiary, once again, would be the local political class, rather than the people who suffered the actual injury.

As if to italicize the utter uselessness of police in dealing with crimes against property, a sergeant from the Kuna PD called Mrs. Gillaspy shortly after the incident to say that in order for the officers to take Coomes into custody, it would have been necessary for the couple to make a citizen's arrest. If the couple had done so, it's likely the police would have arrested them on some invented charge to cover their true offense, which would have been undermining the department's claimed monopoly on force.

A few days earlier, a resident of Coeur d'Alene was approached by a man who drew a knife and demanded money. The would-be robbery victim, who was with his 2-year-old daughter, drew a gun, prompting the assailant to flee to a van. The father briefly gave pursuit in his own vehicle. The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office received a report on the incident, but the deputies were too occupied with more important tasks, such as harassing young men whose public mention of the schlock-rock band Nickelback was construed as evidence of marijuana possession.

Bill Maher & Iraq Vet Accuse Glenn Greenwald Of Helpin' The Terrorists


Chris | InformationLiberation

[Note: The copyright fascists at HBO appear to have gotten the video taken down and even got the YouTube uploader's channel closed, here's the same video from another source.]

Liberal sweetheart Bill Maher says he's scared of terrorists behind every bush and while he thinks what Snowden did was important he says, quoting Richard Clarke that his leaks "have only helped the terrorists."

Meanwhile, Paul Rieckhoff, an Iraq war veteran and head of the lobbyist group Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America chimes in to push the same BS and say he's puttin' 'Murica's troops in harms way.

Glenn calls BS on their claims any troops have been harmed and asks for a specific example of one single soldier, to which--shocker--they can't point to a single person. Of course, lack of evidence has never been a reason not to believe something, so they insist while no evidence exists to the contrary, there "may" be "someone" who we're not being told about who was harmed, but it's a "secret," so there!

'Also' because; If you are a member of that, everything else, including 'Bilderberg', is so far down the list it's nearly irrelevant .
In other words : The guy is a propagandist for the NWO .

Bill Maher is, as always, totally blinded by his 'ethnicity' -
('ethnicity' because it's actually just a religious cult, not a 'race')
The Motherland has told him that the NSA-leaks are 'bad' and helps the
enemies of Isr... Sorry, the USA .

I normally don't talk about peoples 'ethnicity' because mostly it's irrelevant,
however it iS relevant to understanding the neo-con war-monger agenda
and their network of 'think-tanks' and whatever they call their propaganda-outlets . Wish it wasn't, but it is .

Bill Maher is, as far as I'm concerned, a jackass with zero credibility.

"Riot Control" Drone To Shoot Pepper Spray Bullets At Protesters

Experts slam technology: "deeply disturbing," "will maim and kill"
by Steve Watson


A drone that is capable of firing 400 rounds of pepper spray and paint balls, as well as employing ?blinding lasers? and loudspeakers to deter protesters has been developed and sold to an undisclosed company following a demonstration at a trade show in London.

Reports indicate that an undisclosed mining company in South Africa has purchased 25 of the ?Skunk riot control copter? devices developed by military surveillance and communications contractor?Desert Wolf.

The company?s website describes the drone as being ?equipped with 4 high-capacity paint ball barrels firing at up to 20 bullets per second each, with 80 Pepper bullets per second stopping any crowd in?its tracks.?

?The current hopper capacity of 4000 bullets and High Pressure Carbon Fiber Air system it allows for real stopping power.? the description continues. ?Bright strobe lights, blinding Lasers and with on-board speakers enables communication and warnings to the crowd,? the company also notes.

Defence Web notes?that the eight-rotored drone also has high definition and thermal vision cameras, and comes with a ground control station to be operated by two people.

Desert Wolf?s director, Hennie Kieser, notes that the operators will be monitored by a camera and microphone, to ensure that they are not ? too aggressive?.

Exactly who will be watching them on the camera and listening to them on the microphone is not explained.

The BBC reports?that a batch of the drones is to be deployed this month by mine owners in South Africa, where worker strikes and protests have led to violence.

Desert Wolf says that the drone?s initial deployment will lead to more orders from police and security companies. Technological and worker?s right experts, on the other hand, are not so happy with the development.

?This is a deeply disturbing and repugnant development and we are convinced that any reasonable government will move quickly to stop the deployment of advanced battlefield technology on workers or indeed the public involved in legitimate protests and demonstrations,? said International Trade Union Confederation spokesman Tim Noonan.

?We will be taking this up as a matter of urgency with the unions in the mining sector globally,? he added, vowing to discover exactly who has purchased the machines.

Noel Sharkey, chair of the International Committee for Robot Arms Control campaign group, described the technology as a facilitation of ?creeping authoritarianism and the suppression of protest?.

?Firing plastic balls or bullets from the air will maim and kill,? Sharkey said.

?Using pepper spray against a crowd of protesters is a form of torture and should not be allowed. We urgently need an investigation by the international community before these drones are used.? he added.

Guy Martin, the editor of Defence Web, described the drone as ?a logical next step in the development of UAVs,? adding ?but nevertheless it is a watershed moment in their evolution and goes to show that UAVs have almost unlimited uses.?

?I predict that we will see a whole new wave of UAVs emerging with payloads more unusual than tasers, dart guns and paint ball guns.? Martin added.

Weaponised drones have long been on the horizon.?Both?government?and?private companies?have considered the development of the technology. When a taser drone was developed and displayed by a hobbyist in Texas recently, both military and police departments expressed interest, unaware that it was purely a?publicity stunt aimed at raising awareness of and debate surrounding such technology.

The technology conjures up memories of the flying saucer spy drones from the 1988 dystopian cult classic movie?They Live. Philip K. Dick's?Minority Report?also features drone robots that can administer electrical shocks to suspects. The opening of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four also features the idea of police flying overhead and snooping into homes. With guns fitted to such devices, as these developers have demonstrated, this nightmare vision is set to become a shocking reality.

A SWAT Team Blew A Hole In My 2-Year-Old Son


That's right: Officers threw a flashbang grenade in my son's crib -- and left a hole in his chest. It gets worse
by Alecia Phonesavanh


After our house burned down in Wisconsin a few months ago, my husband and I packed our four young kids and all our belongings into a gold minivan and drove to my sister-in-law?s place, just outside of Atlanta. On the back windshield, we pasted six stick figures: a dad, a mom, three young girls, and one baby boy.

That minivan was sitting in the front driveway of my sister-in-law?s place the night a SWAT team broke in, looking for a small amount of drugs they thought my husband?s nephew had. Some of my kids? toys were in the front yard, but the officers claimed they had no way of knowing children might be present. Our whole family was sleeping in the same room, one bed for us, one for the girls, and a crib.

After the SWAT team broke down the door, they threw a flashbang grenade inside. It landed in my son?s crib.

Flashbang grenades were created for soldiers to use during battle. When they explode, the noise is so loud and the flash is so bright that anyone close by is temporarily blinded and deafened. It?s been three weeks since the flashbang exploded next to my sleeping baby, and he?s still covered in burns.

These flash bangs are lethal weapons and at least one coroner has ruled a death by flashbang was a homicide. Police in Kalifornia have been known to throw flashbang after flashbang which burned down a house with a trapped suspect inside.

[Deleted: See comment policy - IL]

Yes, I've had enough of 'anonymous' idiots inciting to murder on public web-sites . Are ALL USanians retarded or what ?
Or perhaps you are posting from your government 'work'-place, providing a pretext to SWAT-raid Chris's home and burn it down ?? Yes, it's quite annoying and it goes against our comment policy. Talking about trials and appropriate punishments for the perps may be against comment policy, but self censoring is not helpful to rid our lands of these blue-line gang-bangers and the criminal trash they serve.

Do you remember how real cops behave? I have not seen a real, serve-and-protect cop for a very long time. It's all gone darkside.

Talking about trials and appropriate punishments is not against the comment policy. The policy says don't call for people to be killed. Also, it's not a legal matter, we're not liable for other people comments, the policy is a practical one as I quite simply don't want to get subpenaed. Not inciting to murder has nothing to do with 'self-censorship', it's called 'being a decent adult human being' .
Just because the pigs can't behave YOU don't get the right to be just like them .

California Cops Allow Suspect to Escape while Harassing Videographer


By Carlos Miller

Police in California allowed a suspect to escape after they decided to harass a man for taking a picture of the arrest.

Naturally, the Glendale police officers ended up blaming the photographer for causing the escape, handcuffing and detaining him, accusing him of knowing the escaped suspect because they had made eye contact moments earlier.

But the fault lies completely with the cops, who allowed their arrogance, insecurities and complete disregard for the Constitution to let the suspect escape in a classic Keystone Cop moment quickly going viral on Live Leak.

Perhaps if officer Bolton (first name possibly Matt) didn?t feel the need to abandon his investigation to walk halfway down the block to blind the videographer with his flashlight, ironically accusing him of acting juvenile for taking a photo of the arrest ?(while never mentioning the alleged eye contact at the time), the suspect would have thought twice about making a run for it.

Now the question is, was the suspect they allowed to escape a violent felon, potentially putting the community at risk, or just another hapless drunk unexpectedly finding himself at a DUI checkpoint?

Glendale police have made no mention of the escape on its Facebook page?as we can imagine this is an incident they will like to forget. But that is unlikely to happen.

This is how patrickb121793 described it on Live Leak:

Video 1 (posted above)

Glendale Police are at it again. At about 1030 at night i was riding my bike and rode past a dui and license checkpoint. I decide to stop and take a photo of the checkpoint. Not wanting to go through the checkpoint, I continued walking past it. As I started to get back on my bike I noticed the Glendale Police had someone detained on the curb. I walked passed the ?investigation? and after about 30 feet of clearance, since I already had my phone out, I turned around to take a quick photo (no flash). In the process of me taking a photo I noticed one of the officers coming towards me so i switched to video(no flash) and slowly walked away.

Officer BOLTON asked me can i help you?, I gave no answer because I was already walking away, and I obviously didn?t need any help. He then told me I was interrupting his investigation, and i needed to go about 1/4 of a mile away in order for him to not be distracted, or I was going to be arrested for not complying. I started walking away, he acknowledged that, turned around and started walking back to his his partner (whom HE abandoned). As he was walking back their suspect took off, because of his stupidity and ignorance.

Video 2 (posted below)

After going to the corner, I continued to film everything that was taking place. I was here for about 10 minutes when I noticed one of the officers that had the guy detained walk up to me. I stayed where I was doing nothing wrong. He then came up to me and told me to ?sit on the curb you are being detained?;, me being a free citizen who had done nothing wrong I told him ?no i had done nothing wrong.?

He then started getting physical and told me to put my arms behind my back, I asked what crime did i commit, and he told me ;I am under investigation I said for what, he then replied and said well that?s what we?re are trying to figure out. Last time I checked you are innocent until proven guilty, but in this case I was guilty until proven innocent. After resisting being detained he eventually got handcuffs on me. I was still standing and he had told me to sit on the curb, Angered by this whole situation I did not sit when he told me. So with all his body weight, he pulled me by the chain of the handcuffs to the ground where I then hit my head and fell right on the cuffs which caused them to squeeze my wrist.

Still confused about why I was being treated like this, they sat me down for about 15 minutes when officer Bolton showed up spitting on the ground in front of me, being Extremely rude. They accused me of knowing the guy because I looked at him when i walked by and we made eye contact. Does that make sense? First of all, does everyone who walks buy someone being arrested or detained automatically know them? Second, If you thought i knew him then why didn?t you ask me that when we first made contact, and why did you let me go? After me not talking, and them threatening (bluffing) to take me to jail numerous times, even after I still didn?t talk. They let me go, Scott free, telling me to have a nice night, after abusing me like an animal or some criminal. I went to the hospital to find out I had a sprained wrist.

I dont know why cops feel they are some divine soldiers of god, where they can just go around doing what they please. Some may argue I should of just minded my own business in the first place, but after being abused by these cops numerous times I like to LEGALLY get as much documentation as possible, when I can. I didn?t yell out pigs!, I simply Stood at a distance and wanted to take a quick picture. I also don?t know what the guy was detained for.

Why are cops so afraid of a camera?

Video Shows Cop Assaulted Fox News Anchor, Lied About Arrest


Chris | InformationLiberation

Video obtained through a FOIA request shows an officer lied when he claimed Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett postured like he was going to "launch himself" at him and repeatedly yelled "f*ck you" at him to justify his violent arrest of the TV host on May 21st.

Here's what the cop wrote in his report as reported by Gawker:

While [medical personnel] began to evaluate Jarrett, he looked at me in the doorway and stated, ?This is all of your fault.? I asked what was, and Jarrett responded, ?This is your fault.? I told Jarrett that this was his fault he was where he was. Jarrett then became visibly agitated (angry, upset), his body became rigid and he leaned forward like he was going to jump up on his feet or launch himself off of the bench, and yelled ?Fuck You? and stated ?Fuck You? again. Jarrett stayed at an agitated level and in the posture like he was going to jump up at any moment.
The officer goes on to allege that Jarrett ?grabbed my left arm and I broke his grip? before he slammed the anchor into the wall and threw him onto the floor. Due to the camera?s angle, it?s unclear whether Jarrett actually grabbed the officer?s arm. It?s certainly not true, in any case, that Jarrett twice yelled ?fuck you.?
It's clear from the video Jarret didn't do anything to justify the cop's outrageously violent outburst. If he laid his hand on him it was at most the gentlest of taps, as you can see from the video when the cop yanks his arm he's putting up zero resistance as the cop throws him around like a rag doll.

Let this be a lesson to the state's loyal servants: no one is safe in a police state.

Here's a comment posted elsewhere about this incident by a cop: "For what it's worth, I'm very tenured in law enforcement. The helmeted
officer "baited" the guy into standing up, moved into the guy, and then
wants to claim the guy touched him."

Interestingly, the charge is for "obstructing legal process", rather than for being intoxicated in public (which probably means that Jarrett was not drunk to begin with) or for assault on officer.. I really wonder how obstruction would apply.

unlike cops,(most cops hide behind each other and most news covers for the cops) most news is using yellow journalism againest their own. read some of the different news stories and see for yourself . believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.

Drug War Blowback: Vegas Murderers Were Police Informants


William Norman Grigg

Jerad and Amanda Miller, who were banished from Bunkerville by supporters of Cliven Bundy, had worked as informants for Nevada law enforcement agencies. After the Millers murdered three people ? Las Vegas Metro Officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo, and Joseph Wilcox, an armed citizen who heroically tried to stop their rampage ? their former handlers claimed that they were unaware of the couple?s ?anti-police sentiments.? That claim is difficult to credit, given that Jerad Miller had a lengthy criminal record, and the fact that the couple had made itself very prominent in protests associated with the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Jerad Miller, who was mired in the probation system because of narcotics convictions, was precisely the kind of person whose vulnerabilities make him valuable as an informant and provocateur.

The Millers were among many hundreds of people who traveled to Bunkerville, Nevada to support rancher Cliven Bundy in his confrontation with the BLM. They may well have been the only volunteers who were asked to leave because of concerns regarding what was described as their "aggressive nature and volatility." During their brief visit, however, Jerad was interviewed by the local NBC affiliate, which meant that he was depicted as representative of the people who had rallied to the Bundy family's cause.

Predictably, following the couple?s subsequent killing spree critics of Cliven Bundy claimed that the rancher, his supporters, and the entire ?insurrectionist right? shared collective responsibility for that crime. Honest people who aren?t imprisoned in collectivist ideology would recognize that rather than being radicalized by so-called anti-government extremists, Jerad Miller is more properly seen as a living example of "blowback" in the government's war on drugs.

That they were police informants is truly fascinating, that they were publicly interviewed regarding the ranch situation is intriguing. Is there any court documents of their testimony?

Maryland Cop Charged With Felony For Slitting Restrained Dog's Throat


Chris | InformationLiberation

When officer Jeffrey Bolger of the Baltimore City police came upon animal control agents who had restrained a 7-year-old shar-pei which had gotten loose, the officer took it upon himself to pull out a knife and violently slit the animal's throat, all while it was fully restrained and under control with its neck in a dog pole. The cop's actions were so vicious not even the police are defending his actions. Instead, Baltimore police Deputy Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez said, "We have no words to describe this. To say that we are appalled at this allegation is an understatement...This is outrageous and unacceptable breach of our protocol."

Bolger has been charged with felony animal cruelty and was suspended without pay. Meanwhile, his fellow officers on the scene are also being investigated for not reporting the incident to higher-ups.

"We have no words to describe this. To say that we are appalled at this allegation is an understatement...This is outrageous and unacceptable breach of our protocol."

What the hell ever, pigs are pigs. There is no such thing as a good pig. It's not a badge, it's a bulls eye.

Wake up America -

Before these people are admitted to the Law Enforcement Academy they are given Psychological tests and interviews. That means that they know they are hiring unrestrained violent psychopaths as policemen. The police see us the same way serial killers view their victims, as prey. The Bankster government hires people like this by design. The police must be viewed as a force of occupation. This seems reasonably humane to me. The dog would die almost instantly and feel very little pain.

It's at least as humane as most methods used for butchering livestock; in fact, live throat slitting (yes, while restrained) used to be the preferred method for butchering cattle. (Today, I understand it is air gun to the head.)

Nickel's 2-bits...

You must be a psychopath. He wasn't killing the dog for food. He did it because he doesn't value any life, human or animal (humans are animals too, by the way.)
You are either very sick, or very stupid...or both.

Why was this cop carrying a knife? And why did he use that weapon? Sounds like he wanted to inflict pain. Get that sadist psycho off the streets. Throw him off the police force and then throw him into prison. No, I was fishing for an actual thought about this world we live in.

- Colorado just dropped the case in which Joseph Hoskins shot Randy Cook, because, "a man's home is his castle." But that's humane.
- Brent Douglas Cole, a Bundy supporter, shot a police officer and a BLM ranger because he's a "sovereign citizen" who has a right to camp anywhere he wants, even on property he doesn't own, and anytime he wants, dammit! But that's humane.
- A man in Arizona was executed using drugs that aren't legal for animal euthanasia, because (for animals) they're inhumane. But executing a person with them? That's humane.
- Theodore Wafer goes on trial this month for shooting a black woman on his front porch, as she sought help after being involved in an accident. By some miscarriage, the state insists he stand trial, but I bet the jury agrees what he did was humane. After all, Zimmerman's jury agreed his shooting was humane.
- Millions of cattle are butchered every year. They get shoved into a restraint so they can't move and someone uses a captive-bolt gun to pound their brains into mush. But that's humane, because after all we're just hungry.
- Right here in this site, we have an article on an El Paso officer Flores who executed a restrained man on a hospital loading dock, and the grand jury just said that's fine. Humane, I guess.
- Canada still clubs seals to death with bats. That's humane.
- Trapping is still legal. But it's humane.
- Hunting is still legal. But obviously it's humane, again because we are hungry.
- Need I go on?...

Of course, someone SANE might say all of these are all INHUMANE, but there are TONS of other people to argue EARNESTLY that each of these are just peachy keen! (I bet some people right here in this site would argue that the Cole shooting was humane.) No problem here. Move along people.

So now we're discussing the execution of a restrained dog by slitting his throat. I'm taking this opportunity to argue EARNESTLY that there is nothing wrong with that method; that it is not INHUMANE. No problem here. Move along people.

We are a NATION of psychopaths, let alone me. Only in a nation of psychopaths would any of the above be tolerated...while we argue earnestly over the throat-slitting of a restrained dog.

I'm pretty sure that their police union will have all the words not only to describe this, but to reward the officer for this. send some allpo , to your favorite. @Nickel's 2-bits, the government's aim is to make the human experience as uncomfortable as possible. From birth, we are drugged, educated (programmed), and molded, into an ideal that is entirely inhuman. If you were to slit the throat of any animal in front of young child, you'd likely see an expression of horror on the child's face - that's a "human" reaction. That suggests that we are still quite human, and, that as we grow older, we allow ourselves to be shaped into psychopaths.

Finite v Infinite...

An "actual thought".... "Legal," and "illegal," are make-believe. Other than, their having a finite form when written, they cannot exist unless people believe in the ideals that give them meaning, and, they can comprehend the language that they belong to.

@" This is
outrageous and unacceptable breach of our protocol."

What he mean here is the cop should have used his gun , thats all....

@L.S. I can't necessarily disagree with any of that.

But I find it pathetic that we're reduced to using a "cop slices dog's throat" story to prove cops are brutal and government is oppressive.

I mean, take a serious, realistic look at this story. At best, it warranted a page 22 local newspaper story. Isn't it pathetic this is the best evidence the site can present of police/government abuse?

These stories didn't make this site:

- Michael Vick's arrest for holding cruel dog fights.
- Larry Wallace, who set his dog afire.
- Timothy Okogbaa, who beat his dog to death.
- Leonardo Dumenigo and Yainiel Proenza, arrested for killing possibly hundreds of thousands of animals by cutting throats and other methods in an illegal butchering operation.

These didn't make the site because they don't matter...on anything but a local basis. The only way they could have made the site is if someone decided to argue that, say, the last two people were "oppressed by the government" because they were just trying to run a butchering business and make money in the "free market" and the government has no right to interfere. (Can't you imagine that argument being made here?)

When I was a kid, we killed animals for butchering by cutting their throats. Someone above alluded that would be fine, because that's butchering and we have to eat.

So here we are with a pathetic article with a marginal, barely cruel act in my estimation, that the author is pathetically trying to turn into a pathetic proof that cops and government are evil.

I repeat: Pathetic.

Even the stories of officers shooting dogs, presented as proof of police/government evil are hardly worthy of mention. This is just...pathetic.

Federal Court: Cops Cannot Push Drug Dog Into Open Car Door


Federal appeals court allows woman with religious license plate to sue cops who made a drug dog alert on a drug-free car.

Utah state troopers who used a drug dog as a pretense to search a car belonging to an innocent woman are in legal trouble. The US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit on Friday ruled that the victims could sue the troopers for spending two hours rifling through their vehicle without finding anything unlawful, in violation of their constitutional rights.

Utah State Trooper Brian Bairett had been running a speed trap on Interstate 15 when a Jeep driven by Sherida Felders passed through. Bairett said he developed probable cause during the traffic stop because she was nervous, had an air freshener and her license plate holder said "Jesus."

Trooper Bairett accused Felders, a 54-year-old, of transporting cocaine. She denied the accusation and refused his request to search the car. After a drug dog was called in, Trooper Bairett explained the situation to its handler, Iron County Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Malcom.

"This lady -- you know, I walk up to the car and I see air fresheners in the center console and... I start talking to her, you know, just 'So where, you heading to?' 'Oh going to Colorado,' blah, blah, blah," Trooper Bairett said. "To me, I've got probable cause to search the vehicle without her permission or not, so I figured the dog would be the best route to go right now."

Trooper Bairett ordered two teenage passengers out of the Jeep, along with the Chihuahua that was riding in the back. Deputy Malcom explained he intended to leave the door open when the teenagers got out. Dashcam footage recorded what happened.

"Nice of them to leave the door open for you," Deputy Malcom said.

"Yeah it was, wasn't it?" Trooper Bairett responded.

Then the drug dog, named Duke, walked around the car and jumped right through the open door without alerting. Once inside, the dog alerted to the center console. It had two packages of beef jerky. The dog next alerted on the driver's door, which contained nothing. The lower court found the search improper and refused to grant immunity, so Deputy Malcom appealed.

"We agree with the district court that Malcom did not have probable cause to search the car prior to Duke's alert and that the law was then clearly established that, absent probable cause, facilitating a dog's entry into a vehicle during a dog sniff constitutes an unconstitutional search," Judge Timothy M. Tymkovich wrote for the appellate panel. "Taking the facts in the light most favorable to Felders, we conclude that fact questions exist regarding the timing of Duke's alert and Malcom's possible facilitation prior to an alert. As a result, we affirm the district court's decision to deny Malcom summary judgment on qualified immunity grounds."

The court rejected Deputy Malcom's attempt to argue that he was just working on his fellow officer's claim that there was probable cause. The appellate judges said the deputy should have known better.

"The facts Malcom knew -- Felders's nervousness and unwillingness to look at Bairett, possible inconsistencies in travel narratives, a single air freshener, and a religious license plate frame -- could justify no more than reasonable suspicion to conduct an investigative stop," Judge Tymkovich wrote. "A reasonable officer would not conclude that Felders was hauling drugs based on the statements or behavior of either Felders or her two teenage passengers."

So, it IS 'suspicious' to have a air-freshener in your vehicle ?
It seems to me judges are about as stupid as cops ..

Regarding dogs 'superior' smelling-senses as a pretext to provide 'probable cause' :
A female friend of mine once had her property raided by the pigs at night.
The first thing this stupid animal does is to stick it's nose in her crotch, since she was having her period ! This alone saved her from being busted for the 2 weed-joints 'hidden' in the paper-basket !

So, my claim is : These stupid animals can't really smell 'drugs', all they can smell is 'something' . The handler then 'interprets' the dogs reaction
in whatever way fits the agenda and hokus-pokus, there you have your 'probable cause' . And the dog gets lots of positive attention, and a treat .

All dogs belong to Ivan Pavlov !
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Pavlov

(I actually kind of like dogs, but there is no way they are 'clever' )

@8750,

> So, it IS 'suspicious' to have a air-freshener in your vehicle ?

Yes it is; as well as Jesus plate. If you read the book "Arrest-Proof Yourself: An Ex-Cop Reveals How Easy It Is for Anyone to Get Arrested, How Even a Single Arrest Could Ruin Your Life, and What to Do If the Police Get in Your Face", written by former cop and FBI agent Dale Carson, you will find it all there, it's all part of their official training. Highly recommended.

Speaking of dogs, the funny thing is that nobody can say for sure what dog's actions constitute the drug alert that becomes probable cause to search the vehicle. As I understand, the cop can claim that the dog has alerted in any case, and it will be impossible to dispute. I never heard about a single case where the fact whether dog alerted or not, was disputed.

Yeah well .. I'm not a US citizen or resident so I think I will pass on that book,
it will just make me even more infuriated than I already am .
Besides, in my country there is practically no such thing as an 'illegal search', unless the pigs don't find anything illegal at all.
If they don't, they just look at your kitchen-knives and charge you with possession of a knife with a blade longer than 7 cm or they take your Swiss Army-knife and claim it is 'one-hand operated' and/or has 'a locking blade' .
You won't get convicted for that, but that isn't the point : It magically makes the search 'legal' .

Cops On A Power Trip Arresting People For No ID and Videotaping


by Michael Suede

From the video notes:

We were 4 bikers on our way back from Flight 93 Memorial in Stoystown, PA. My friend and I get pulled over for crossing on double yellow.After waiting for citations for 10-15 minutes the other 2 bikers (my brother and other friend) walk up to see whats going on and just to wait with us. They stand off to side as instructed by the officer outside the vehicle. After another 5 minutes or so of casual conversation among ourselves and the officer outside. He asks for ID from Ryan, who asks, ?I am required to show you ID?? The officer responds, ?I am a police officer.? Ryan says, ?I understand that but whats the reason.? He responds by saying, ?You came on my scene?. He asks for his name which he gives. At this point the other officer gets out of the squad car and asks whats going on. The original officer says that Ryan isn?t showing ID and immediately the new and older officer says, If you don?t show us ID right now we can arrest you, tow your bike, and then have to pay bail. This is when my brother says, ?someone get this on video?. So I pull out my phone and the following occurs.

After the Video: They seize my phone and play the video, which has audio obviously. I am then arrested for audio taping them without their consent (Wiretapping Law), which according to the ACLU does not apply to officers doing their regular duties in public. So I?m arrested as well. Eventually my friend calls his police officer friend who talks with the arresting officer. Then we are both released as long as we give them the video and delete it. So they continue to seize my phone and make us follow them back to the station to transfer the file. After not being able to transfer it due to software issues the original officer takes a video of my video with his iPhone. I am then told to delete the video so I stealthy slide to the next video, which the arresting officer created while seizing my phone (he had no idea how to use a smartphone) and deleted that one. Now I?m sharing this ridiculous video of a cop on a power trip arresting innocent civilians after they visited a 9/11 memorial.
