NYC has paid out nearly $1 billion in suits from NYPD actions. That’s for the period of 2000-2010. Some of those cases are only tangentially related to the NYPD, but consider that the tally includes the Sean Bell shooting (2006) that resulted in more than $7 million paid out to the Bell family and the families of two others who were shot.
In 2012, the NYPD paid out nearly $4 million to the Ramarly Graham family for that fatal shooting incident.

The story may well be entirely legit, and I saw nothing to suggest it wasn’t.
America was built on exploiting child labor…and much of the world continues to do so. We still exploit people in quasi slave labor situations (see: Chinese women held in sweatshops and brothels in American Samoa, Saipan and Guam), but we usually make sure they are adults.
Usually.

You must have missed it.
The Palestinian middlemen/managers maximize their profits by under-reporting how many children are working for them so they can pay less insurance. The children are not paid overtime, sick leave or holiday pay.

The settlements aren’t helping, but they aren’t the obstacle to peace that Palestinians make them out to be. Settlements can be transferred and reassigned - it’s happened before - in Sinai after Camp David and even with the Gaza disengagement.
If a peace deal could ever be reached, there will be land swaps as part of that deal. That would necessarily include settlements being vacated or consolidated, with some of those settlements being given over to Palestinians for their use.
But the extremists will use the settlements as a cudgel - on both sides.

It’s not the settlements that are the real problem - it’s the settlers. A lot of these people are religious fanatics who are deliberately trying to provoke conflict with Palestinians. If settlements were populated by people who were actually trying to find solutions and coexist with Palestinians, it would be a very different story - but that isn’t what’s happening.

You are making an assumption that may have no relation at all to what the Palestinian general public thinks.
If they consider the settlements to be the fucking deal breaker of all eternity (and I would not want to underestimate obstinancy on that topic after the amount of blood and treasure that has been committed), then it will be the deal breaker. In any event both sides have 3 generations of dead kids and bloody shirts to wave around (and I will never forgive or forget the fucking sociopath who crept into an Israeli house and butchered their baby as a goddamned “political act”. After that one, I would have been willing to level the West Bank myself. Since bastards seem to be universal, I would also like to know who the hell kept directing…and correcting[!!!] artillery at those Palestinian kids on the beach last year until they were bleeding heaps)

I have to disagree with you. To the Palestinians, they believe they own that land so Israelis coming in and building communities is emotionally equivalent to a stranger coming into your home and squatting in your living room.

It’s the sort of scenario that a prosecutor would have fun tearing apart. Not only could he bring in a medical expert who’d look at the autopsy and say “There’s no way this could have happened,” but then he’s going to put each one of the cops on the stand and ask them “So, you have a suspect that is not properly strapped in, beating his head against the wall so hard that he ends up severing his own spine. The guy on the other side of that wall can hear this going on. But at no point did you or another officer think to stop the van, check what was happening, and put a stop to it? You allowed a suspect to kill himself while he was in your custody?”

Hannity is already saying the narrative has changed and also said there is no proof the police leaked this story.
Dear God, he’s an idiot.
No proof?! It’s right there in the damned story:
The document, written by a Baltimore police investigator, offers the first glimpse of what might have happened inside the van. It is not clear whether any additional evidence backs up the prisoner’s version, which is just one piece of a much larger probe.
You got the police investigating themselves, and you don’t think that they could have leaked this, Sean? You’re a fucking moron!

I don’t know if Abbott is naive or just a pandering fuckwit. Either way, I wanted to throw shit at work when I saw he’d ordered the Texas State Guard to “monitor” the United States Army.
I guess even Abbott knows he can’t go as far as the jabbering dipshits want, since the Texas State Guard isn’t actually considered military by anybody outside of Texas. They don’t get federalized in a crisis, they don’t get combat training, they rarely, if ever, carry guns, and unlike the actual National Guard, they don’t get deployed to active war zones.
I had some RWNJ mental midget try to tell me that the State Guard really truly are military troops. If that was the case, that would just make Abbott look worse and crazier than he does, since that would mean that a sitting governor was sending state military forces to oversee the federal government. Even Abbott isn’t that brain damaged. Yet.

So—let’s put the bullshit stories in chronological order:

2. An unidentified relative of one of the cops (so reminiscent of the Josie story from Ferguson) says cops did nothing wrong. Freddie was belligerent and cops couldn’t risk getting close enough to put seatbelt on him. That giant pile o’shit doesn’t even pass the sniff test.
3. Police report “leaks” (funny how that happens) that another prisoner, who couldn’t see a damn thing, could tell that Freddie was throwing himself around the van intentionally hurting himself. Jayne Miller from WBAL refutes that crock o’crap before the ink is even dry on the Washington Post’s ridiculous blind allegiance to accept whatever crap the police are throwing.

Even if its a total fabrication, there’s no way to really catch the other prisoner in a lie because he doesn’t say he saw Gray beating himself up, he just heard what he interpreted as Gray beating his head against the wall. So the defense now offers its own theory, saying that Gray actually injured himself while unsecured in the back. And so long as the jury can’t prove or disprove it, there’s reasonable doubt and these cops will go free or be convicted on a piddly lesser charge.

Before crashing for the evening, I stopped in to catch up bit and saw your comment. It reminded of something very similar.
I was with a friend and his about 6 month along pregnant wife at a Led Zep concert at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Stadium. (Yeah, sigh, that one of the infamous Who stampede deaths). I think it was 1977, maybe March.
The crowd was growing restless as the doors were late opening and it was a chilly evening. The crowd was definitely alcohol, herb and other fueled. The parking lot was a party and the walkways were jammed with ‘salesmen.’
The cops came and seemed to be there just for crowd control and weren’t really doing anything but watching. Pretty soon bottles were tossed and then more were tossed and the cops really were being intimidated and it was getting crazy. Soon there was a tussle of fools pushing at a line of cops.
For the protection of my friend’s wife we moved to the side of it all over by some cops. Suddenly this one police van started to sway and you could hear a guy in a drunken voice screaming “F’n pigs, let me outta here, bastards, let me out, I didn’t throw anything, Pigs!” Then you could hear a big wham and another wham to the van sides causing the sway.
Standing off to the back of the van was one of Cincinnati’s finest who noticed us talking about the guy in the van. He looks at us and says “When we get him downtown, he’ll say we beat him up.” He probably was correct. The dude in the van was out of it and doing a bang-up job of messing himself up. I suspect some type of Quaalude was added to the alcohol. He wasn’t feeling anything. Yet.

State high court quickly ousts Shirley Abrahamson as chief justice
Conservatives on the Wisconsin Supreme Court picked Justice Patience Roggensack as their new leader Wednesday, dumping longtime Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson after voters approved changing how the head of the court is selected.
Four justices on the seven-member court voted to put Roggensack in charge just hours after state election officials certified the April 7 referendum results, allowing court members to choose the chief justice. For the past 126 years, the state constitution had the most senior member of the court serve as chief justice.
The vote for Roggensack comes at a time when the court has been roiled by ideological and personal differences, and as Abrahamson has pursued litigation to remain chief justice until her elected term ends in 2019.

I’m upwind, down valley.
Dude who ran the hash oil operation called the local newspaper two hours after the explosion.
About two hours after the explosion, Ryne Wilhelmi, 24, called the Vail Daily from the local hospital to tell his side of the story.
Wilhelmi said he was outside on the back porch of his Eagle-Vail townhome when a valve failed on his closed-loop hash oil system. They’re designed to keep highly flammable butane gas from escaping.
“The valve popped, and I jumped back,” Wilhelmi said. “When I did, the static electricity in my sweatshirt ignited it.”
The sheriff’s department hasn’t formally charged him, but they say they will.
The closed-loop system is prohibited in residential areas, the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
“If you’re in a residential area, you’re endangering everyone around you, and yourself,” said Jessie Mosher, public information officer with the Sheriff’s Office.
Wilhelmi will be charged with reckless endangerment, a Class 3 misdemeanor; criminal mischief, a Class 6 felony; first degree arson, a Class 3 felony; and offenses relating to marijuana and marijuana concentrate, a Class 3 felony.
Full disclosure, I went to primary school with Jessie Mosher, her and I go way back.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos told a Milwaukee talk radio host that Republicans in vulnerable districts won’t vote to repeal the prevailing wage law because it would reduce paychecks for too many constituents too soon after legislators approved a controversial right-to-work law.
“While I support the repeal of prevailing wage, (it) is an actual cut in wages to an awful lot of folks around the state, and that’s where I think that a lot of folks in vulnerable districts worry about having taken a vote for right-to-work and then another one that would reduce wages,” Vos, R-Rochester, said on WISN.

So they don’t really fucking care about people actually getting their incomes cut; they only care about how it will affect their own political futures, since they all rallied round the “right to work for less” bullshit. What a bunch of worthless assholes.

How about instead of reducing people’s wages because you’re a neu-feudalist fuck, you work on improving their wages. Nah can’t do that. Gotta please Governor Wanker and Governor Wanker’s wealthy pals. I swear the Republican Party as it stands now is nothing more than a party that exists for one purpose and that’s protecting the interests of the very wealthy at the expense of everyone else. They don’t even attempt to hide it anymore which in a way is refreshing since they’re finally being honest.

re: #171 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)

I disagree. There should be fairly stringent regulations on production of cannabis concentrates. That is certain. But should we outlaw high-proof liquors?
I love comparing cannabis to alcohol now, because folks used that comparison (over a number of years) to great effect in Colorado in 2012 to outright legalize cannabis (and three other states as of this writing).
Disclosure: I’ve smoked concentrated cannabis, and yes, it’s strong stuff. But in the end it’s just weed.
I was pretty ticked off by Maureen Dowd’s NYT column about her flying to Denver, eating some delicious cannabis confection, and completely losing control of herself and reinforcing her (and many Americans) opinion that cannabis consumption is dangerous and should be kept illegal.
Well, Maureen Down did it wrong. She ate too much in too short amount of time. I’ve done that too, it’s unpleasant. Remember drinking too much?
And these amateur hash oil producers with their exploding devices are doing it wrong too. The manufacture of cannabis concentrate shouldn’t be legal in residential areas. The process is certainly too dangerous. And facilities that manufacture cannabis concentrate should be tightly controlled by the state, of which folks who are participating in legal manufacture of hash oil in Colorado are already subject to.
It’s kind of crazy out there with cannabis law in the United States. I’m a Colorado native still living in the state, and all the little/big changes that have occurred since legalization is still pretty surreal. Cannabis concentrates and edibles have become a contentious debate topic, and I hope for sensible action when it comes to the regulation of those things.
180 | Nyet Apr 30, 2015 1:34:08am |
OK, that’s just going overboard.
Gay marriage was not uncommon in Ancient Rome; even the Emperor Nero publicly married at least two men. During the Ming Dynasty in China, it was not uncommon for older men to marry young men and bring them into their families as official sons-in-law. While Christianity officially frowned on men marrying each other, they also came up with a way around this taboo. Both the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic church allowed “brother-making” in which two totally straight single guys had an official ceremony telling everyone what good friends they were and how they were going to live together and pray together but totally not do any guy-on-guy stuff.
Of course the rumors about Nero marrying guys (and mind you, just rumors, not established facts, contrary to what Cracked wants you to believe) served exactly the purpose of showing that he led a life of debauchery and was otherwise a naughty fellow.
And no, brother-making was not gay marriage in any form. While some gays might have used the opportunity, it was not the function of “brotherhood” to allow them this. In fact, many (maybe most) “brotherhoods” consisted of actual brothers living together, and often these brothers were actually married (to women, mind you).

HOUSTON (CNN) —Mike Huckabee rallied a crowd of Hispanic evangelicals on Wednesday night, pushing back in the debate over religious freedom just one day after the Supreme Court heard oral arguments to determine whether states have the right to ban same-sex marriage.
“I respect the courts, but the Supreme Court is only that — the supreme of the courts. It is not the supreme being. It cannot overrule God,” he said. “When it comes to prayer, when it comes to life, and when it comes to the sanctity of marriage, the court cannot change what God has created.”

Judge Heyburn, Ky gay marriage judge, dies http://t.co/CckrUs92LK
U.S. Senior District Judge John G. Heyburn II, a Republican who carved an independent and progressive path in three decades on the federal bench, upholding school desegregation and striking down laws that forbade gay marriage, died Wednesday, according to U.S. District Court clerk Vanessa Armstrong.
He was 66 and had battled liver cancer.
Heyburn was nominated to the bench in 1992 by President George H. W. Bush at the recommendation of Sen. Mitch McConnell but hardly followed in the conservative senator’s footsteps.
In two of his last major opinions, he struck down Kentucky’s constitutional amendment that barred same-sex marriage within Kentucky and the recognition of same-sex marriages performed legally in other states, saying they violated the right to equal protection under the law by treating gays and lesbians “differently in a way that demeans them.”
While acknowledging that gay marriage clashes with the religious and moral values of many Kentuckians, Heyburn wrote in 2014 that the “beauty of our Constitution is that it accommodates our individual faith definitions of marriage while preventing the government from unlawfully treating us differently.”
His decisions were reversed by a federal appeals court but may be upheld by the Supreme Court, which heard arguments Tuesday in same-sex marriage cases from Kentucky and three other states later.

State high court quickly ousts Shirley Abrahamson as chief justice
So, once again, by dirty tricks, the conservatives take over a court:
“Part of the judge’s written decision when he denied Chief Justice Abrahamson’s request for a temporary restraining order to block the members of the court from voting for a new chief justice reads: ‘When and how to implement a duly passed amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution is a question of state law, not federal law,’ ” Gableman said.
“Soon after the head of the state Government Accountability Board certified the April 7 vote Wednesday, the justices commenced voting by email on whether to make Roggensack chief justice. By the afternoon, a majority had voted for her, according to multiple sources.
Voting for Roggensack were herself, Gableman, and Justices David Prosser and Annette Ziegler. Those four make up the court’s conservative majority.
“The other three — Abrahamson, Bradley and Justice N. Patrick Crooks — had not cast ballots by the time the majority had filed its votes. Abrahamson and Bradley are liberals; Crooks is a swing vote who recently expressed interest in serving as chief justice and criticized Abrahamson for her lawsuit.” More
Voters should be extremely careful what they ask for.

While I am no expert, I’ve read that in practice it’s not so easy to break someone’s neck, as often shown in the movies. It would probably be a lot harder to break one’s own neck, or even dislocate your cervical vertebrae without causing injury to some other part of your head or shoulders. Smacking your head against the wall would knock you unconscious before you had a chance to damage your neck.
Either way, the CNN report is total BS.

It’s not the settlements that are the real problem - it’s the settlers. A lot of these people are religious fanatics who are deliberately trying to provoke conflict with Palestinians. If settlements were populated by people who were actually trying to find solutions and coexist with Palestinians, it would be a very different story - but that isn’t what’s happening.

Prisons are a function of the State, not profiteers. If you’re brought to trial, found guilty and incarcerated by the State, then it’s up to the State to provide prisons, not their cronies in private businesses.
What if welfare was contracted out to rightwing idiots like those who run these profit making entrprises? As the ACLU states, the American economy should not depend on locking people up in cages, nor should it prey on the poverty of the American people.
“Today, for-profit companies are responsible for approximately 6 percent of state prisoners, 16 percent of federal prisoners, and inmates in local jails in Texas, Louisiana, and a handful of other states. While supporters of private prisons tout the idea that governments can save money through privatization, the evidence is mixed at best—in fact, private prisons may in some instances cost more than governmental ones. These private prisons have also been linked to numerous cases of violence and atrocious conditions.” (my emphasis)

Neighbor is happy. She is from the Tampa area and the Lightning won a Game 7 against the Detroit Red Wings last night. A good and well played hockey game.
My car remains in limbo. Drivable, but not that drivable, and the parts for the repair have not turned up yet at the dealership. I guess that is more time to save up money to pay the repair bill.
And there is a protest this afternoon near City Hall.

Respect works both ways.
No idea who he is. Then again I pretty much ignore the local Philadelphia media for the most part. Only time I have TV on is to watch sporting events and old movies. So I rarely have NBC/ABC/CBS/FOX on, and when I do the commercials for their other shows give me a very good reminder of why I don’t watch those channels.
The school having a policy to send reminders to parents about unexcused absences is a good idea. It’s communication with the parents, and might help detect an issue (like a child playing hooky) before it causes problems.
That the letter could use better phrasing might help. And Rossi probably should have taken a breather before posting his remarks since he essentially was pretty insulting to the school and teachers if you want to view it that way.
That jackasses then went and made threats doesn’t surprise. There are always people looking to be insulted or for an excuse to act out. Cities, obviously, have them in higher concentrations.

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz wants to blame Obama for increasing racial tensions. Memo to Cruz; the BPD raised those tensions by killing yet another unarmed black man. That follows other police departments nationally that kill black people with seeming impunity (and the few instances of indictments don’t count - not when convictions aren’t secured because officers claim that they’ve got justified use of force for reasons that defy logic or reasoning - as in a person running away is a threat to the officer). But for law enforcement targeting minorities and engaging in racial profiling and engaging in excessive force and deadly force, racial tensions would not be an issue (or inflamed).

Missed another day, but I may be finally Nyquiling this cold away.
Regarding this ridiculous bullshit about Freddie Gray breaking his own spine (in two places): Does anybody but me remember Arlo Guthrie doing a song about Steven Biko—I want to call it Joburg Jail—where a ZARP is telling the story of how they invited Biko down to headquarters for a friendly little chat, and while they were sitting there talking all agreeable and shit, he started beating himself up and ultimately threw himself out of the window?
I can’t find it on any album, or his website arlo.net, and the Google machine knows nothing about it. Maybe he only did it once on TV and I happened to see it? Seems relevant today, though.
Like when blacks in the south would hang themselves, light themselves on fire and force all those good Christian white patriots to stand around and gawk, take pictures, not get convicted of any crimes.

Why would anyone trust an unidentified/anonymous witness who didn’t actually view any of the events, but claims to have heard what went on in the police van for all of 5 minutes of the approximately 30 minutes that Grey was in police custody in that van?
That’s witness testimony that while admissible as to what the witness heard, but claiming that the sounds heard were consistent with Gray engaging in self-harm is opinion and would not be admissible. The witness has no way of knowing exactly what was going on, who was in the van with Gray, and therefore his conclusion (that Gray was engaging in self-harm) is faulty.

re: #270 lawhawk
And yes, I get that these leaks from the BPD are all designed to raise doubts as to Gray’s condition and try to avoid liability for the BPD officers involved.
The problem, though, is that the BPD arrests people as they are - if they had a preexisting spinal condition or not. If he did (which it doesn’t appear to be the case), their actions led to the spinal injuries that caused his death.
If he attempted self harm, the BPD too is at fault for not properly securing Gray in the van to avoid potential self harms.
Either way, the BPD is at fault, but the BPD is hellbent on trying to justify the death by any means necessary, and they’ve got a willing mediaverse that would excuse yet another death at the hands of the agency.

Ranked 52nd out of the almost 500 PA school districts. Consistent 93-95% graduation rate. Sounds like one of the better one in the state.
Then you seen a 2009 study saying that 44% of the graduates from the school would need a remediation course in mathematics or reading before taking higher education courses. And their PSSA (standardized test) scores are 8-10% below basic for their 11th graders.
If this is one of the better public school districts in the state I don’t think I want to look at the numbers for other districts.

I would tend to concur - that his legs were flopping around, unable to stand, and appeared to be dead weight would suggest the injury occurred prior to being put in the van. How he was arrested and the force used to effectuate the arrest are questions that need to be resolved.
And that would all come from the autopsy and investigative reports that have yet to be made public.

I had ESPN on over the weekend and they were doing some background on fighter Manny Pacquiao. They were telling the story of how in one of his first fights he had to go into the ring after a fellow fighter and friend had just been beaten into unconsciousness and Manny and the trainers/handlers had to carry the fighter to the locker room. Pacquiao said he felt the guy die in his arms as they carried him.
The video of the badly beaten boxer reminded me right off of the Freddie Gray video. He was out and as his handlers and others tried to pick him up off the floor of the boxing ring he had zero control. As I watched transfixed by the brutality ( I am not a boxing fan…at all) I kept thinking damn, that looks just like how Freddie Gray looked as the police manhandled him into the van like a 150 pound bag of potatoes.
I think you are right. He was badly hurt before he was even in the van. There are witnesses that said they thought he was unconscious when they picked him up.
This is all so sad, infuriating and disgusting. And seen too often. But thanks for smart phones we are getting to see what has obviously been going on for far too long. It’s no wonder cop shops don’t want people to be allowed to see them working (over) the public.

Lawyer says fatally injured Baltimore arrestee lacked seat beltBALTIMORE (AP) — No video captured what happened to Freddie Gray inside the police van where officers heaved him into a metal compartment after pinning him to a sidewalk. The cause of his fatal spine injury has not been revealed.
But a troubling detail emerged as hundreds of protesters converged on City Hall again Thursday: He was not only handcuffed and put in leg irons, but left without a seat belt during his trip to the station.
Unbelted detainees have been paralyzed and even killed by rough rides in what used to be called ”paddy wagons.” It even has a name: ”nickel rides,” referring to cheap amusement park thrills.
Police brutality against prisoners being transported was addressed just six months ago in a plan released by Baltimore officials to reduce this misconduct. Department rules updated nine days before Gray’s arrest clearly state that all detainees shall be strapped in by seat belts or ”other authorized restraining devices” for their own safety after arrest.
Gray was not belted in, said attorney Michael Davey, who represents at least one of the officers under investigation.

So, I see that after days of assurances that the BPD would keep folks in the loop and release the results of their investigation, they’ve now totally clammed up and shunted the whole thing to the DA’s office.
How many times have we seen this, when promises of a “thorough investigation” and the responsible parties “held responsible” went to the DA’s office to die, usually behind the closed doors of a grand jury that got fed just what was necessary to attain a “no bill”?

re: #275 lawhawk
And yes, I get that these leaks from the BPD are all designed to raise doubts as to Gray’s condition and try to avoid liability for the BPD officers involved.
The problem, though, is that the BPD arrests people as they are - if they had a preexisting spinal condition or not. If he did (which it doesn’t appear to be the case), their actions led to the spinal injuries that caused his death.
If he attempted self harm, the BPD too is at fault for not properly securing Gray in the van to avoid potential self harms.
Either way, the BPD is at fault, but the BPD is hellbent on trying to justify the death by any means necessary, and they’ve got a willing mediaverse that would excuse yet another death at the hands of the agency.
It’s just all so predictable and transparently laughable.
Then again, our media seems to fall for it every time.

Freddie Gray ran from the cops. While running from the cops he ran into a light pole and broke his spine. When he fell his larynx got shattered on his foot.
Then he compounded those injuries by banging himself against the wall in the van.

326 | lawhawk Apr 30, 2015 8:14:22am |
This is my shocked face:
The other prisoner was wrong. Gray asked for medical assistance even before the 2d prisoner was loaded into the police van.
Before the second prisoner was even in the police van, Freddie Gray asked the police for medical assistance.
So you have to wonder why on earth a man who had just asked for help would then try to hurt himself—as the second prisoner supposedly concluded after he was picked up at the next stop a few minutes later.
The opinion of the second prisoner is reportedly contained in a search warrant application prepared by a police investigator and now leaked to the Washington Post.
Somebody leaked the sealed document for a reason just as the police were preparing to turn over the results of their investigation to the Baltimore state’s attorney. There is nothing to stop the police department from also publically disclosing it major findings, as it largely did after its initial investigation soon after Gray’s death.
But what the police have already disclosed is enough to suggest why the second prisoner might have believed Gray was trying to hurt himself—and why he was almost certainly mistaken
After the stop where he asked for medical assistance and medical assistance was denied to him, Gray seems to have resumed signaling his need for help by the only means available; by banging on the inside of the van.

I don’t necessarily condone nor do I want to romanticize what this mother did. However, fear of your child being killed by police can cause a very strong visceral reaction. It gets to survival mode/protection of your child, even if not entirely logical.
Also, there is a vast difference in the two cases you cite
Adrian Peterson allegedly beat his 4-year-old son with a stick, hitting him in his scrotum and breaking the skin. That child was defenseless.

Baltimore police reveal new information about Freddie Gray's arrest: http://t.co/kqgC9ZkoCZ pic.twitter.com/Ap8WnNnVfX
— Talking Points Memo (@TPM) April 30, 2015
Deputy Police Commissioner Kevin Davis said police found out about the new stop from video footage captured on a privately owned surveillance camera. According to the timeline Davis laid out, the new stop is the second of four stops the van made on April 12.
So the BPD is just finding out, over two weeks after the arrest, that there was a stop not recorded in any of the official logs or paperwork. And only found out about it because of a private video camera that happened to catch it.
in other words, without the presence of that camera, we would never have known about this unreported stop.

It’s just another item that the prosecutor will have fun with if this ever goes to trial. They now have the cops involved in a lie of omission, failing to note a stop that only became known to investigators when they got ahold of camera footage from a third party. Any testimony that the cops involved gave where they failed to mention the stop is now suspect.

Chuck says that Taitz was wrong when she said, on May 21, 2014 - “He also stated that he is also preparing to launch a web site together with the filmmaker Joel Gilbert.” So it’s just some magical coincidence that GotNews dot com listed Gilbert as co-author (Wayback Machine) on the Cochran piece when it was first published over a month later on June 30th.
On June 30, Johnson published a story that was viewed in conservative circles as a bombshell — and in mainstream circles as a joke.

You’re assuming the prosecutor will want to do this and not just ignore it.
After reading about the state attorney involved in this matter, I’m somewhat confident that she will want to pursue this to the bitter end, rather than acting as other prosecutors have in dumping the case to avoid harming her relationship with the police.
She’s four months on the job, after a surprise win last November while campaigning against police violence. And her husband is a member of the city council who had this to say the press the other day:
“This is bigger than Freddie Gray,” he said in an interview with Fox News on Monday night. “This is about the socioeconomics of poor urban America.” The rioters were exhibiting “decades-old anger and frustration for a system that’s failed them,” he added.
So yeah, I have a somewhat good feeling about this, that we’re not looking at a “good ol’ boy” with years of rubbing shoulders with the PD and letting cops off the hook for shit you and I wouldn’t get away with.
410 | klys (maker of Silmarils) Apr 30, 2015 9:37:32am |
I occasionally read message boards elsewhere (particularly cross stitch related) and made the mistake of clicking on a thread about Baltimore. Or rather, to be specific, the fact that the word “thug” can be racist.
Cue lots of people talking about dictionary definitions, that they’ve never heard it used that way, that we shouldn’t be sheep and allow the media to tell us what terms are racist and what aren’t, a non-trivial amount of (probably) subconscious racism when talking about the looters, and a few people talking about the fact that in a lot of places, it’s used as a replacement for other words that are less acceptable to say in public.
Roundly being ignored by the rest of the group.
Very little acknowledgement of the issues at the heart of all of this either. Sadly. And I suspect that cross section of the public is probably more representative (in some ways) than we are here - the nature of the site and all.

I’ve got mixed feelings about that. I’d like us to show solidarity with the people in Baltimore, but…Norm Stamper was trying to clean up the SPD and then the Battle of Seattle came along and I guess they thought he didn’t bust enough heads or something, so they fired him and hired a succession of bloodthirsty Cossacks—that asshole Kerlikowske the Drug Warrior™ for example.

Eaton outsourcing WI jobs to Mexico again, despite getting $370K from WEDC
A global power systems management corporation that has received nearly $370,000 in tax incentives from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) since 2012 is shipping jobs from Wisconsin to Mexico for the second time in three years.
Eaton Corp. announced last week it is permanently discontinuing the manufacture of printed circuit boards at its facility in Watertown, which will result in the elimination of 93 employees there.
Scott Walker dissolved the Dept. of Commerce to create the WEDC, which has been mired in possible corruption and known incompetence since its inception.
Republicans draft bill to merge economic agencies
Republican legislators want to merge Wisconsin’s two major economic development agencies into a new entity with a stand-alone bill rather than through Gov. Scott Walker’s budget.
The governor’s budget proposal calls for merging the troubled Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. and the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority into the Forward Wisconsin Development Authority.
Sen. Rick Gudex, R-Fond du Lac, and Rep. Rob Hutton, R-Brookfield, sent a memo to lawmakers Wednesday saying they’ve crafted a separate bill implementing the merger at Walker’s request and need co-sponsors by Monday…
Minority Democrats on the panel blasted the merger, saying it would create an unaccountable entity. Audits in 2012 and 2013 showed WEDC, Walker’s flagship job creation engine, lost track of $12 million in overdue loans and gave money to ineligible projects between July 2011 and June 2012. The agency also has seen considerable turnover in its upper ranks.

Meanwhile cut benefits to the bone, denying as many as possible because they “won’t work”.

The website said the claims back other conspiracy theories about “dissident roundups,” and the alleged “law enforcement insider” also suggested that shuttered Walmart stores might be used as staging points for the Department of Homeland Security.

Walker and the GOP have been playing games with the EDC and moved various programs out of separate agencies and into the newly formed one that is more tightly controlled by the governor. At the same time, the incompetence has grown exponentially and the incentive programs that had been functioning adequately are getting run into the ground.
See: Kasich—Jobs Ohio.
and
A newspaper review found that six of nine board members of Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s privatized economic development office, JobsOhio, have ties to companies that received tax credits or other state or JobsOhio assistance since Kasich took office in 2011.

Statement From SAO on Receiving BPD Investigation
For Immediate Release 4/30/2015
The State’s Attorney’s Office has in fact received the hardcopies of the Baltimore Police Department’s investigative file; however, the results of their investigation is not new to us.
We have been briefed regularly throughout their process while simultaneously conducting our own independent investigation into the death of Freddie Gray. While we have and will continue to leverage the information received by the Department, we are not relying solely on their findings but rather the facts that we have gathered and verified. We ask for the public to remain patient and peaceful and to trust the process of the justice system.

Internet Racists Are Pretending to Be Black Looters in Baltimore
If you look at the #BaltimoreLootCrew hashtag, you’ll see what looks like Baltimore residents—all black—bragging about things they’ve stolen during this week’s civil unrest. But none of these photos are real. Instead, it’s the work of 8chan-affiliated white supremacists, bubbling over the sort of message board fecal matter that would’ve been confined to /b/ in the era before social media. Those were the days! Now, malicious falsehoods have been democratized.
The worst thing about it is that it’ll work, enough to fool enough people and pull them completely away from any sort of rational response to whatever happens next in Baltimore.
