Police Once Again Mistake Cell Phone for Gun - But This Time, They Open Fire

By Carlos Miller

Las Vegas police responded to a call of a suicidal man who pulled out a cell phone and pointed it at them, perhaps to record them, prompting an officer to shoot at him.

The officer missed but the man fell to the ground anyway where police arrested him.

?The individual reached into his pocket, he pulled out a dark object, pointed it at the sergeant in a manner like he would be firing a pistol,? explained Deputy Chief Al Salinas of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in the above video.

The incident took place Sunday at 2 p.m., so darkness of the night did not contribute to the officer seeing the cell phone as a ?dark object.?

The man, who has not been identified, will most likely be charged with assault with a deadly weapon as well as battery with a deadly weapon because prior to the shooting, he had been throwing landscaping rocks at the officers, according to Salinas.

Photographer Suing L.A. Sheriff's Dept. Detained Again For Photographing Deputies

by Carlos Miller

A pair of bullying Los Angeles sheriff?s deputies detained a photographer who snapped their picture on Hollywood Blvd, accusing him of all kinds of false crimes before handcuffing him, then searching through his camera bag without consent.

Shawn Nee ? who already has a pending lawsuit against the sheriff?s department for violating his rights as a photographer ? once again captured the incident on his Vievu camera, exposing a disgusting show of brute intimidation.

The deputies first told him it was against the law to take their photo.

Then they told him it was against the law to photograph a couple of underage girls they were chatting up.

And then they told him it was against the law to walk down the street without identification.

Obviously the dumb asses didn?t realize they were being recorded the entire time.

Once Again, The Administration Vindictively Charges A Whistleblower As Being A Spy

by Mike Masnick

This is getting ridiculous. When President Obama was campaigning and even when he first took office, he claimed that it was a priority to support whistleblowing activities. And yet, as President, he has been ridiculously aggressive in pushing vindictive criminal lawsuits against whistleblowers -- often by abusing the Espionage Act. The Espionage Act is supposed to be used against spies. But the Obama Justice Department has used it over and over again against whistleblowers in a purely vindictive manner. In fact, he's used it to bring charges against whistleblowers more often than every other President combined. This strategy turned out to be a disaster in the Thomas Drake case (which was initiated by President Bush, but continued with strong support by President Obama), where the case completely collapsed, once it became clear that the charges were nothing but a vindictive attack on a whistleblower.

Apparently the Obama administration has not learned its lesson. It has now used the Espionage Act to go after a former CIA agent, John Kiriakou, who blew the whistle on the CIA's waterboarding torture regime. This now makes it the sixth Espionage Act prosecution of a whistleblower brought by the Obama administration. All other presidents before him used it a total of 3 times. As the Government Accountability Project notes, the really stunning thing in all of this is that Kiriakou will be the only person prosecuted in relation to the use of waterboarding -- and simply for blowing the whistle on it.

if you torture a prisoner, you will not be held criminally liable, but if you blow the whistle on torture, you risk criminal prosecution under the Espionage Act.

Something seems very, very wrong about this.

Israeli spy cell exposed in New Zealand (again) after earthquake crushed their van

THE powerful earthquake that rocked New Zealand's South Island unearthed an Israeli spy ring, security experts claim.

Israeli secret service Mossad has been accused of conducting an intelligence gathering operation in the country, which was allegedly interrupted when a van used by the cell was crushed by masonry falling from a building.

It is claimed that a man, who died inside the wreckage, had five passports in his possession, and three surviving Israelis who were in the vehicle fled the country within 12 hours.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key confirmed last week that the government's Security Intelligence Service had launched a full investigation into the discovery.

But during a visit to the US, Mr Key dismissed the concerns saying no evidence was found that the people involved were anything other than backpackers.

He said his advice was that the man was found with only two passports, one of European origin.
