The face-smashing game

Thursday, June 19th, 2008
Epidemic, anyone? From some random TV station: KALAMAZOO, MI — A Kalamazoo police officer is suspended without pay for ten days and reassigned, for allegedly roughing up a teenage suspect during an arrest. On May 22, a 16-year-old was arrested for violating rules outside the Kalamazoo Transportation Center. The incident report stated Officer Derek Nugent applied a level [...]

Cops on the hunt: Bubaris acquitted

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
The nostate.com news lemurs have been closely following the case of former policeman George Bubaris, accused of dealing a drunken, homeless Guatemalan immigrant a fatal blow and leaving him to die. It seems the prosecution brought a rather flimsy case. Whatever happened that night, there really wasn’t enough to link Bubaris to the killing. That’s what [...]

The news lemurs at nostate.com are going to be following this one closely. The thug in question has already been stripped of his uniform, though no doubt we’re going to see a clown suit defense brought in. Innocent until proven guilty and all that… From The Journal News: Prosecutor: Bubaris spoke of ‘hunting’ A former Mount Kisco police officer [...]
