Chris | InformationLiberation

It took almost a month, but the young punk cop who tasered a 76-year-old man for questioning his questionable traffic stop has finally been fired, the Victoria Advocate reports.

The cop, 23-year-old Nathanial Robinson suspected 76-year-old Pete Vasquez of driving a vehicle with expired tags. In fact, Vasquez was driving a new car, all of which are exempt from having fresh tags, which Vasquez pointed out at the time he was stopped. Rather than check the law, Robinson responded by violently attacking and tasing his elder, throwing him to the ground and tasing him twice before placing him under arrest.

While the police chief criticized Robinson's actions at the time and said they would investigate, no details nor follow up was released until just yesterday. Here's an excerpt from their press release, which you can read in full here:

Chief Craig has announced the findings of the internal affairs investigation regarding Officer Nathaniel Robinson. Chief Craig has determined based on the evidence, that Officer Robinson violated three areas of policy and sustained allegations regarding violations of the following departmental policies.

1) Policy 0.216 - Conduct and Performance, Section 2.15
2) Policy 03.03 - Use of Force Section 1
3) Policy 0.0305- Arrest without a Warrant Section 3

Based on the findings of the administrative investigation, Nathaniel Robinson?s employment with the Victoria Police Department has been terminated.

Kudos to the police chief for doing what's right, including for faulting the officer for his false arrest.

Frankly, I find it abhorrent the mere idea a 23-year-old young punk could think a badge and a gun gives him the right to boss around a 76-year-old man because he has "expired tags."

It reminds me of a story about the late Steve Jobs. Jobs would buy a new car every six months to take advantage of a California law which makes you exempt from having to have a license plate for six months. Ever since I heard that story, I've thought about how any young punk rookie cop could pull over the great Steve Jobs and potentially put him through hell for not having a license plate, despite being entirely in the wrong.

The late H. L. Mencken believed government as an institution was a conspiracy devised by inferior human beings to rule over their betters. As he wrote back in the year 1919,

"All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him. If it be aristocratic in organization, then it seeks to protect the man who is superior only in law against the man who is superior in fact; if it be democratic, then it seeks to protect the man who is inferior in every way against both."

As one who chronicles stories of government abuse, which is mostly carried out by low-grade morons such as officer Robinson, this strikes me as accurate.

Of course, in the case above, there's a good chance Robinson will be rehired, with back pay, once his moron protection agency, a.k.a. the police union, files an appeal to get him his job back.

Link 99170The firing is just for show to take some heat off the chief and the department and make it look like they are responding to the concerns of the citizens.

Link 173190As the young cop obviously recently went through his education and training process to be qualified as a cop, we must conclude the cop knew his legal limitations, and the citizen's civil rights.

Link 71222The gangsta rap music this cop was listening to surely merits a notation regarding his violent actions towards this mundane. This cop is recently graduated and I can guarantee he was briefed upon Supreme Court case Castle Rock v. Gonzales. In 2005 the SC ruled that it is NOT the duty of police to serve and protect. This court ruling is probably the underlying cause of the upward incidents of violence against the public. New cops know they will never be held accountable for harm, destruction of property or death when they dish it out. However, what happened here was there were too many crimes and gross ignorance of the law and firing the cop is probably a City decision to attempt to lessen the upcoming consequences when this man sues the cop and the City.

Cop Fired After Driving Away From Fatal Shooting, Neglecting Duties to Spend Time With Her Cop Boyfriend

Chris | InformationLiberation

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - San Antonio Police officer Serena Botello has been fired and her appeal rejected after an investigation showed she went derelict on her duties 23 times in two months, often to spend time with a fellow SAPD officer who appears to be her live-in boyfriend.

In one case last March, rather than respond to a 911 call to help a 35-year-old man who shot himself in the head, Botello drove away despite being under a mile away and the closest officer to the scene.

Family members of the man said he died at the hospital hours later. Questions over how the case was handled lead SAPD to conduct an investigation into Botello's actions. After looking at GPS records from her vehicle, they determined she had spent over 36 hours from March 21 to May 15 "neglecting her duties."

Investigators found Botello spent some of this time with another SAPD officer, whom they later determined she was living with.

Botello's termination papers noted she violated SAPD's regulations concerning ?relationships with co-workers,? ?alertness required of members,? and ?on-duty activities.?

Botello had been issued two separate suspensions in December 2012, one for 20 days, and another for 30 days. KENS 5 reports a source familiar with her service records said at least one of those suspensions was for "failure to respond," yet she wasn't fired at the time and was allowed to keep her job.

I don't remember December. 2012 being fifty days long..... Thanks, she was issued two separate suspensions, I reworded it to be more clear! In Other News: "Hiring Less Qualified Applicants Because of Gender Causes People To Die" Ya know somethin, I've been a regular to this EXCELLENT website for a good while now & as a "foreigner" looking in, I feel sooo disheartened by the general (citizens) response to the stories I've read here. I'm not talking about the other "regulars", I mean the vast majority of american citizens who see NO problem with the way their country is being run & have no issue with their foreign policy stance. The United States Of America used to stand for something across the world, something good, something people aspired to, something people looked up to, a true democracy. America has been hijacked, not by ISIS or some other bogeyman, but by the very people entrusted to "protect & serve" the population, the politicians. I have decided NOT to contribute to the comments anymore, no-one is listening, no-one cares, I wish the very best for you, but I've seen enough to be pessimistic as to the outcome....
my prayers are with you & for you, in all denominations, please.... make a difference, for all our sakes. Hey irishpete, thanks so much for your kind words and for all your posts, I really enjoy reading them and personally I appreciate you sharing so much. I share your frustrations but I think you may not realize how much your comments contribute to the site, honestly without readers and commenters like you the site is nothing! I hope you'll reconsider!

Also, people are listening, just comment participation is low, maybe becuase we don't have the best comment system, I'm considering switching to disqus for example, but also if you check out this article on reddit you'll see there's a lot of comments and a lot of people who agree with you! http://www.reddit.com/r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut/comments/2rmd5d/cop_fired_after_driving_away_from_fatal_shooting/

All my best to you irishpete!

...so why didn't he get fired too??? Just another P.O.S. in uniform.

Cops Fired For Lying About Beating And Pepper-Spraying Group of Women Appeal To Get Their Jobs Back

From the Denver Post:

Two Denver police officers at the center of a high-profile beating outside the Denver Diner plan to appeal a judge's decision upholding their firings, their attorney said Friday.

Police Chief Robert White signed letters terminating Ricky Nixon and Kevin Devine for lying during the internal investigation into the July 2009 incident, in which surveillance cameras captured them beating and pepper-spraying a group of women outside the diner.

They were initially fired, but the Civil Service Commission reinstated them, a decision District Court Judge Elizabeth A. Starrs ruled Thursday was wrong. Footage from police department cameras did not match the officers' statements to investigators, the judge wrote in her decision.

The officers can appeal to the Colorado Court of Appeals.

Trooper Fired For Cavity Searching Women In Bikinis Driving Back From Beach Reinstated, 'Was Just Following Orders'

Chris | InformationLiberation

Trooper Jennie Bui was just "following the orders of a senior officer" when she inserted her fingers into two womens' privates in two outrageously invasive body cavity searches on the side of the highway, so Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw gave her her job back.

While "I was just following orders" was found to be an indefensible position during the Nuremberg Trials after World War II, when it comes to the Texas DPS, knowing you will blindly follow any order no matter how criminal makes you more than qualified for the job.

From the Dallas Mourning News:

Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw reinstated a female officer who was sued and placed before a grand jury after she conducted a body cavity search on two females stopped for speeding.

McCraw pointed out that the Brazoria County grand jury declined to take action against Trooper Jennie Bui. The trooper was fired in June after ?an extensive investigation? into the incident.

But McCraw said Bui was relatively inexperienced and was following the orders of a senior officer, Nathaniel Turner, who was initially suspended but since has been fired.

[...]?While the actions of Trooper Bui constitute misconduct, I believe her actions are mitigated such that she should not be terminated from the agency,? McCraw said.

He further said that, "Turner's conduct was unacceptable, and violated DPS policy and was outside any authorized training provided to Trooper Turner by DPS.?

I Feel sorry for the American people. It seems that the U.S. Gov't can use, ' I was just following orders, I didn't know it was against the law and It's a matter of national security, ' as a reason to commit crime. Nobody else can do that, why do you think you can get away with it. Good luck American people, you're going to need it. Nazis were "just following orders", too I am going to start using statist excuses in my daily life. "Citizen safety" will become part of my repertoire. "Based on my training and experience" will also be a key factor. Just think of the difference we could make if we all became a Citizen Peace Patrol armed with handguns and cameras streaming to Youtube and researched citizen arrest laws... Every time we observed police officers violate the law we could film them and effect a citizen's arrest. Oh, probably wise to keep some cash at home for bail money, but if enough of us did this it would make a difference.

Deputy Fired for Running Red Light & Killing Teen Reinstated with Back Pay

Chris | InformationLiberation

Whoever said "crime doesn't pay" never worked for the state.

From The Lacrosse Tribune:

A former La Crosse County Sheriff?s deputy fired after she killed a Holmen teenager in a 2010 crash has won her job back.

In a ruling released Monday, an arbitrator ordered Trisha Stratman be returned to duty with back pay of about 20 months.

Stratman was responding to a call for help at a Holmen bar fight in the early morning of July 18, 2010, when she drove through a red light at more than 90 mph just as 16-year-old Brandon Jennings pulled into the intersection.

Jennings was thrown from his vehicle and died at the scene.

A jury acquitted Stratman on a charge of homicide by negligent operation, but she was fired in 2011 after an internal investigation found she violated department policy.

Must be nice to get rewarded with a paid vacation for killing someone.

File a civil lawsuit against her and the county Her actions are criminally negligent but of course a judge thats part of the same criminal syndicate as cops in our justice system would let her get her job back. Wow, what a windfall. I'm curious why they would give her the job back. Because of her good judgment and great driving skills? Do they feel so much safer with her patrolling the streets? I think normal people wouldn't even want that job back after killing someone, much less have the nerve to seek back pay for the service. For all too many it seems when they put on the uniform they must first remove all decency and empathy. Does she think she just hit a bug with the windshield? Push the wipers and move on. The life of a common man or his kid just doesn't seem to be worth much these days. We the mundanes,are chattle to our omnipotent LEO band of dilinquent thugs, hail to our heros and champions of peace. Is that crack smiling for her mug shot, how typical. That looks like a departmental photo, not a mugshot. Still, she's a piece of shit bad cop and should be fired. 90mph to get to a bar fight, wow I just can't hardly grasp the importance of this call. If people choose to go to a bar don't they accept some measure of risk? The speed limit and red lights seen reasonable to obey in this Highly dangerous and potentially devastating emergency call to a BAR FIGHT, in the early morning, that might just destroy the whole community unless stopped. On the other hand, this poor kid following the rules of passing through a green light, had no reason to believe those he pays to serve him would eventually KILL him; by an act even my 14 year old, that does not drive yet, knows is a very dangerous and illegal thing to do.
This is grade school driver training 101, you have to be a complete idiot to speed, 90 fing miles per hour, through a RED light. Did anyone check to see if she was drunk, I hope she was, else she might just be the stupidest human on the road. Don't just through the book at her, launch the whole fricking legal code including the shelfs, brackets and screws along with it. 90mph through a RED LIGHT does anyone need more? You try that and daylight will be a distant memory. One set of laws for police officers and another set of laws for everyone else.

Rand Paul Tries to Get Journalist Fired and Arrested

The Committee was acting on behalf of Rand Paul and threatened both Abby and the entire RT news organization. The threats included ambiguous "charges" for violating the rules of the Committee floor, Abby's possible arrest and the termination of her and the entire office's press credentials.

After a month of meetings and deliberation, the Senate Media Relations office backed down and did not make good on any of their threats.

@Peter, since when was Rand Paul supposedly a Libertarian? Besides, even if he was, what's up with this very telling story? Shouldn't the truth be known, no matter what false paradigm some politician falls under?

Two cops fired over horrific video which shows them beating up suspect - then CELEBRATING

By Daniel Bates

Two cops have been fired after being filmed brutally beating a suspect then doing a celebratory chest bump.

The shocking footage shows the officers holding the man down, punching him and kicking him in the head more than a dozen times.

As he lies motionless on the concrete the officers move away - and bump each other in the sick celebration.

Suspect Nicholas Blume had only been stopped for a traffic violation at the time in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when he was beaten up.
[...]
In an apparent attempt to cover his tracks, Doyle later wrote in his notebook that he was afraid Blume had a gun on him and needed to be restrained.

The footage was only released after a Freedom of Information request by the Albuquerque Journal - but the first version did not include the chest bump.

Instead it finished after the kicking and did not show the end, where the cops congratulate each other.

Hunt for Man Who Violated Parole, Fired at Police Turns into Domestic Terror Propaganda

Kurt Nimmo

Once again, the government and the corporate media are busy at work trying to portray anti-government activists as murderous terrorists.

?Montana authorities are on a manhunt for an ?extremely dangerous? former militia leader who triggered a shootout with cops and fled into the wilderness with a cache of weapons,? reports the NY Daily News.

?David Burgert, 47, a former head of a violent anti-government militia group, traded gunfire with Missoula County deputies along a logging trail after a slow speed car chase near Lolo, Mont., on Sunday, cops said.?

According to the FBI, the former Marine and Project 7, a Montana militia, plotted to assassinate local officials, kill cops and ultimately topple the government.

But there is a problem with this story. It is not true.

Burgert was never charged with threatening local officials, police, or anybody else. He was arrested in 2002 and charged with weapons violation after law enforcement discovered a ?cache? of weapons and around 30,000 rounds of ammunition.

In May of 2003, the Billings Gazette reported that Burgert was expected to plead to possessing a machine gun and being a felon in possession of a firearm following a plea agreement he made with prosecutors. Instead, he jumped bail and resisted arrest.

The Montana Department of Corrections said Burgert was sentenced in 2002 for bail jumping and in 1983 for theft and was arrested after a stand-off with the cops. After that arrest, officials in Flathead County in far northwestern Montana said that Project 7 conspired to kill local police officers, judges and county prosecutors.

It seems Mr. Burgert is a problem because he does not respect the law and is combative with the police. He holds anti-government views. Before his sentencing on firearms charges, he was diagnosed by the government with paranoid personality disorder.

In 2003, the Project 7 group told the Associated Press the allegations against them were ?nothing more than a fanciful conspiracy theory dreamed up by overzealous police.? No charges were filed because federal investigators were unable to substantiate any of the accusations made by Montana officials after they discovered 30,000 rounds of ammunition, explosives, night-vision equipment, and body armor -- all completely legal to possess.

Following his previous experience with the government and time spent in a federal prison, Burgert said he would not be taken into custody again by law enforcement. Montana lawmen said he led sheriff?s deputies on a 30-mile chase on Sunday before exchanging gunfire with them and fleeing into the rugged mountains southwest of Missoula, according to Reuters. No one was injured in the shootout.

"He is armed and extremely dangerous," Missoula County Undersheriff Mike Dominick told Reuters as the Missoula County Sheriff?s Office, the Missoula SWAT team, the FBI, the National Guard and the U.S. Forest Service searched for Burgert.

The fanfare of coverage of Burgert is part of a larger campaign by government and the corporate media to portray anti-government activists as violent, dangerous, and mentally unbalanced.

In any given week, there are hundreds of cases of people resisting arrest or ending up in violent confrontations with police. These incidents rarely make it off the pages of local newspapers or news websites because they are of little use to the government in its effort to portray constitutionalists as crazed gun-toting lunatics.

For instance, TPM posted a local story about a man who allegedly opened fire at a seafood market in Florida after learning that they had run out of crawfish. Larry Wayne Kelly, who apparently suffers from mental illness, told the cops he is a sovereign citizen.

Moreover, Burgert?s alleged confrontation with police will be used by anti-Second Amendment advocates to argue for ?reasonable? laws limiting or outlawing the possession of firearms.

In 2010, the government attempted to railroad the Hutaree militia movement by claiming they also planned to kill local law enforcement and officials. The government case against the group fell apart in short order and some of the accused were released from custody.

Incessant propaganda, however, appears to work in convincing some people that anti-government groups and individuals pose a threat. In April of last year, a UPI poll conducted by Angus Reid Public Opinion revealed that a ?strong majority? of Americans believe ?American-on-American terrorism is likely in the next year.? 58 percent of 1,005 people surveyed believe a terrorist attack on U.S. soil, carried out by Americans, is ?very likely? or ?moderately likely? to happen.

No terrorist event occured in the specified timeframe.
