Gangsters in Blue

If you’ve been following Copblock closely, you know that Ademo has (ridiculously) been charged with felony wiretapping, while merely seeking to place pressure upon police for their lack of accountability. For more details, please read more here. He will require substantial funds for a defense, particularly if he chooses to seek counsel (which I have urged him to do).

I am selling Copblock T-shirts in women’s cuts for Ademo’s defense. $9 from each shirt will go to Ademo’s defense fund.

I see a lot of negativity and disdain directed at Ademo and Pete recently. These attitudes are egregious and misplaced. The military does not fight for your freedom. The police do not put their lives on the line for their freedom. The police and the military often create the very problems they claim to protect people from. The police and the military do what they do for a paycheck, like everyone else, and above all, they do what they do to protect the government, and the powers that be.

The only threat to your freedom is the government, and the only people fighting for your freedom are those who are speaking out, fighting back, and selflessly placing their own freedoms on the line to change the system. These are the people who have a vision, while the police and military are merely following the orders of powerful people who grow ever the more rich, and ever the more powerful off the status quo. Cohen went to jail so that you can wear a jacket that says “FUCK THE DRAFT” in a court house. Chaplinsky went to jail so that you can call organized religion a racket, and call the police “goddamn racketeers” and “damned fascists.” Johnson was charged with vandalism so that you can express your outrage at the American government by committing the utmost act of fury and disrespect – burning the American flag. O’Brien lost the battle, but he suffered severe legal consequences with the hopes that Americans could burn their draft cards in protest of the American government’s war-mongering, and in protest of the slavery entailed by the Vietnam War draft.

Ademo and Pete are not bums, slackers, or losers as you charge. They are the Cohens, Chaplinskys, Johnsons, and O’Briens of today who are literally fighting for your freedom. I believe that one day when, not if the American Police State has finally forcibly raped you of your final vestige of dignity and freedom, that you who berate them with such careless  flippancy will feel great shame. Quite honestly, when that day comes, if you are rotting in prison, or dead from police brutality, I won’t feel a great deal of sympathy for you.

As for the rest of you saner, more rational people, please check the shirts out. Ladies, they are a great cut, great fit, and very comfortable. I have a green one and purple one for myself and wear them all the time. Guys, I’m sure there’s an awesome girl or two in your life who would love one of these. They are $18, which includes shipping.

They fit nicely, and promote police accountability. I have mediums and larges left of every color, but no smalls (sorry).  I take Paypal. Please contact me if you want one – George.sand[at]copblock[dot]org.

There are countless laws. Literally.

Maybe not in the mathematical sense – it is technically possible to count the laws in existence, but based on a colloquial and general use of the term “countless” it is not really feasible for someone to count every law. Just this year, 40,000 laws were passed and are set to go into effect. On the other hand, we rarely hear news about laws being repealed.

At this rate, if it is a monumental task to even count the laws, certainly, one can never know all the laws. And then – even if one knows generally of many laws, it is further impossible to understand the laws with requisite detail so as to ensure compliance.

Yet, people are told over and over by police, prosecutors, and the justice system that “ignorance of the law is no excuse.”

To all the police, prosecutors, asshole judges, and other groveling subjects who insist on the “rule of law” –  actually, yes, ignorance is an excuse. Perhaps one would be viewed as disingenuous when claiming he or she did not know murder, theft, or rape was against the law. However, when 40,000 laws are passed each year, each with possibly hundreds of pages of details, it is a perfectly legitimate excuse to claim one is ignorant of said laws.

This is especially the case because most laws do not prevent murder, theft, or rape, which of course are the most obvious and justified prohibitions. Personal violations and property violations – that’s 2 laws. Total. It’s reasonable to throw in a few more for different degrees of personal violations (e.g. 2nd degree murder, voluntary and/or involuntary manslaughter, assault and battery), and different types of theft or property violations (e.g. fraud, embezzlement, petty theft, larceny, robbery, trespassing). That might get us to 15, and for the most part, that’s the bulk of the law that is reasonable or necessary. So where did the other 40,000 per year come from?

They are almost all useless or repetitive. They come from lobbyists, power-hungry politicians who want to appear to be “doing something” and from idiots who do not understand the meaning of statistical significance. One freak tragedy happens, and suddenly the relatives of the victim are lobbying, protesting, and demanding their local sleazeball politician to “do something” about any act, behavior, or substance remotely related to the tragedy, despite the fact that those acts, behaviors or substances are completely safe and hurt no one 99.99 percent of the time. I can almost guarantee you that if someone happened to run out of their house, slip on a banana peel, smash their face into a fence and die, that a committee of concerned citizens and responsive politicians will form to demand the death penalty upon people who litter banana peels, or to throw people in jail for running out of their houses.

If you visit this fun website by a couple of lawbreakers blogging their criminal activity, you will learn that it is illegal to peel an orange in a hotel in Los Angeles. It is illegal to fish while wearing pajamas in Chicago, IL. Playing an instrument with the intention of luring someone into a store is illegal in Indian Wells, CA. It is illegal in Globe, AZ to play cards with an Indian. Drinking a beer from a bucket is illegal in St. Louis, MO. Sleeping on a refrigerator is illegal in Pittsburgh.

I haven not personally verified the existence of these laws, but I can tell you with fair certainty about a multitude of other absurd laws that do exist. For instance, Alabama only legalized interracial marriage in 2000. Altruistic war veteran Antonio Buehler learned recently that spitting on a police officer is a third degree felony in Texas. When he observed an officer abusing a woman, he stopped to take pictures, and was attacked by police and arrested. Videos taken do not show him spitting police, but nevertheless, police accused him of doing so and charged him with harassment of a public official, a third degree felony (as a side note, spitting on a regular person would not nearly rise to a felony, because regular people aren’t gods, like the police are).

In yet another display of legal absurdity, a marine biologist faces 20 years in prison for violating an obscure federal environmental law. Nancy Black was in her research boat when killer whales attacked and killed a gray whale calf. Blubber floated to the surface, and the killer whales were getting ready to feed. Ms. Black threaded ropes through some blubber and lowered a camera under water. She has been indicted by a federal grand jury for violating the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act (more here).

In many cities, it is de facto illegal to feed the homeless. And of course, in most states in America, due to the rise of the “Resisting Arrest” charge, people literally can be arrested for doing absolutely nothing.

Above all, the most important element to note is that “ignorance of the law is no excuse” only applies to the peons of America. It does not apply to prosecutors, judges, police, or other powerful people.  Police have qualified immunity for various actions they take on the job. Prosecutors have even greater immunity. The Supreme Court held in Imbler v. Pachtman that absolute immunity of public prosecutors is “based on the policy of protecting the judicial process.” Thus, prosecutors face no recourse for even the most malicious of actions – knowingly using falsified evidence.

The Supreme Court is currently considering the issue of whether there is a Constitutional right to “not be framed.” (Yes, the system is that evil – they actually have to debate whether there is a “right not to be framed”). Judges also have absolute civil immunity, so if the Supreme Court decides there is no Constitutional right “not to be framed” they will not be held accountable, and all anyone can do about it is cry. (Read more about all these immunities here).

Next time you hear anyone talk about “the rule of law” or “ignorance of the law is no excuse” it’s worth pondering what exactly that means. In the context of America, it inevitably means oppression and arbitrary results from a system that operates off an extensive, random mire of nonsensical dictates decreed by tyrants.

Actually yes, ignorance of the law is an excuse is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

Recently I was found guilty in my Chalking 8 trial, while highlighting those bogus charges we (Pete and I) met Frank and Mike, who took this video of Manchester Police Officer Murphy. The video went viral and received attention from several news outlets. Instead of taking a serious look at the actions caught on tape the city went into defense mode.

The Police, school and local government officials sought to criminalize Frank, Mike and myself. They expelled Frank from school, charged Mike as an adult (over a teenage fight) and charged me with three counts of wiretapping. Crimes the state says justifies caging me, at your expense, for 21 years.

I’ve been through this before in Greenfield, MA and am confident I can present my case, logically. The problem I face in Manchester that I didn’t have in Greenfield is the personal vendetta those in Manchester seem to have for me. After all, I was given the max sentence (with 10 months of it stayed for 2 years good behavior) for ‘resisting’ my arrest.

With that in mind I’ve thought long and hard about how I’d like to tackle this case. I’ve done all the homework, reading up on New Hampshire’s wiretapping law, talking with lawyers, brainstorming ideas with fellow activist and more and it’s come down to one thing, funding. Which is why I made this video asking for your help.

As stated in the video, I think a lawyer would be beneficial to ensure I have fair pre-trial hearings and ‘proper’ (in their eyes) procedure during trial. Considering this will be an expectation of privacy trial – and that public officials have none – it will be more difficult that my Greenfield trial. Yet, a win here could do wonders for activists in the “Shire” attempting to change coercive government actions.

That being said, I also know, and appreciate, the offensive tactic as well and when done properly, is mightier than the current justice system. In terms of risk, I end up taking more with this tactic, as these actions will be done outside the court room. The best part of this strategy is that the actions the government is trying to distract you from – excessive force, deletion of evidence and criminalization of those who question government – will be front and center. As this issue goes further back than just one phone call, the Manchester police have gotten away with murder (literally) for a while now.

Regardless of how this fund raiser goes, I’ll be in court, speaking the truth and defending my position on filming, recording and monitoring public officials. I would greatly appreciate you donating to either cause as it would help me (and other activists) further the message of police accountability. You can also buy CopBlock.org swag, which help funds our CopBlock activities, or contact me for video intro/outro’s and power post. For those unable to donate, sharing CopBlock.org content and social networks is just as good as FRN’s and I need/appreciate your support as well.

Thanks in advance.

Defensive or Offensive? That is the Question… is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

When I wrote to the Chief of Police, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan about the Police breaking into my home and how I was put into handcuffs and beat so bad that I had to go to the hospital and also have plastic surgery. A few weeks later and I still have pain and problems from the beating. The lawyers from the Jeff Fieger Law office, a Leon Weiss was in with the police and told me I had to sign a paper and say that I would not sue the police department or the Police would for sure see to it that I was going to jail for something that I did not even do. So, I did sign and I was found guility and had to pay thousands of dollars in fines, could not drive for one year, was on probation for one year and now I am a felon. The police officer that kicked in 3 doors in my home and shot it up with a taser gun told that I did not drive bad, did not drive too fast, I just looked suspicious because I had on a leather coat and was driving in Blooomfield Hills, Michigan.

Bloomfield Hills Police Will Beat You is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

Some people out there, even our regular readers, get squeamish when we liken police to gang members. I’ll stand by that analogy, which I elaborated upon in another article -

Mostly, this comparison is based on the fact that police, like gangs claim ultimate dominion over a particular territory. They stake out these particular territories, and demand “protection money” for reasons mostly out of the control of local residents. If their demands are not met, they resort to violence.

They swear an oath of  loyalty to each other, and will cover up for each other’s gruesome crimes at the expense of good sense and morality. Officers have purposely failed to take reports, covered up evidence, and even turned a blind eye to sexual battery and torture by their fellow gang-members (see here). Those who do not abide by the code of loyalty are ostracized or otherwise punished (see examples here and here). They even have a gang color – blue.

See the full article here. As long as government police exist in their current form, I will never retract my sentiment in this regard. However, for the sake of argument, let us assume police are ordinary human beings like the rest of us. Fair enough? (More than fair, in my opinion).

When was the last time the public got their panties in a bunch when 5 armed men in dark clothing were shot because they were mistaken for intruders after they busted into someone’s house?

Probably never.

How about if the homeowner at issue was suspected of growing marijuana plants, and the armed men, dressed in dark clothing were allegedly there to “protect” the public from a dangerous weed smoker? If you still think it was an evil tragedy the armed men were shot, then it’s because you’re still thinking about police. Think harder.

Imagine your friend Joe has been growing a little pot in his living room. Imagine a bunch of your neighbors, against all scientific evidence, believe that because Joe smokes weed occasionally, he is a dangerous individual. Instead of knocking on Joe’s door, talking to Joe about his “problem” or asking him politely to refrain from smoking, or engaging in about a million other peaceful and civil ways of addressing the issue, at least twelve of them decide to dress in all black, arm themselves, and kick down Joe’s door to “solve” this frightening problem of weed propagation. They declare to you they have a piece of paper that gives them such authority and will present it to Joe as proof they have a right to seize his little plant. They kick down Joe’s door at night. As a result, Joe mistakes them for burglars and opens fire, killing and injuring several of them, while also receiving injuries himself.

What would you think about these neighbors? You would think they are insane. You would think they are fucking stupid. You would wonder why it takes twelve (or more) grown, armed men to give your friend Joe a piece of fucking paper. You would think they are juvenile, violent, self-righteous assholes who mirror something out of Lord of the Flies, who think reckless use of violence and guns is some sort of game (you’d half expect to find Piggy with his smashed eyeglasses lying amid the bloodshed). If you are a bit of a judgmental prick, you might wonder why Joe keeps such offensive plants if the consequences can be so severe, but even so, if you are a reasonable person, you would not blame Joe for opening fire in terror upon seeing twelve or more armed men in his house after having his door broken down.

On the other hand, because the juvenile, violent, self-righteous assholes who don’t know how to mind their own damn business are police, the public is horrified, and the media is soliciting donations for the fallen and injured police officers gang members (see full story here). This is a travesty. The media literally is soliciting funds and sympathy for a bunch of aggro psychopaths whose careless indiscretions created the entire situation to begin with. Meanwhile, the victim of all this is being changed with crimes, and will likely suffer draconian legal penalties.

No one forced these officers to enforce bad laws. No one put a gun to the heads of these upstanding members of society and said they had to arm themselves, put on dark clothing, and kick down someone’s door to “serve a warrant” because the suspect had a certain plant in his living room. They did it anyway, and as a result, 6 of them were shot and 1 died.

This is not to say that any of them deserved to die, or that death is an appropriate punishment for burglary, but really – what is there to be so sorry about? If they were ordinary people, Americans would be flabbergasted at why these idiots believed rounding up a gang of armed people to solve a non-violent situation was necessary. Americans would rightly question the intelligence of those who claim drawing guns and breaking into houses at night in furtherance of eradicating a plant somehow makes society safer.

Anyone who feels truly terrible for these wounded/killed officers, without acknowledging the officers’ own stupidity, recklessness, and unwarranted aggression that brought on these consequences has unfortunately bought into the police state mentality – that police can do whatever they want because different – or perhaps no moral and legal standards apply to them.

This came out in the paper today and has been the talk of the town of these two cops who obviously don’t respect people’s rights.

A suit was filed in federal court Wednesday against the City of Batesville, BPD officer Greg Jones and Sgt. Shawn Dalton by parents of a minor who was apprehended Halloween night after curfew hours and in possession of toilet paper.
Plaintiffs Sally and Stacy Simmerman are seeking a jury trial, that a Halloween curfew be declared unconstitutional and unenforceable, compensatory damages for their minor son and reasonable attorney fees and expenses.

Ron Lewis of Oxford is the attorney for the Simmermans.
Court documents state that the Simmermans’ son, his girlfriend and her mother as well as another group were at Walgreen’s purchasing toilet paper “. . . in preparation for a Halloween prank on one of (the group’s) cousins.”

When two members of the group returned to the cars with toilet paper an officer approached the Simmerman minor asking if he was “deaf” for not responding to the policeman.
The minor was handcuffed and taken into custody according to the document which noted that the juvenile was being apprehended for not coming when the officer summoned him.

Although the parent of his friend would later ask to take the minor home, the policemen refused, the court document states.
The Simmerman minor was then taken to the police station according to the document which claims Dalton did not put a seat belt around him and then drove erratically to the police department.

The suit also claims that the minor’s cellphone contents were searched while at the police station before his parents arrived.
The document claims that the curfew was not properly created therefore void and questions why, when there were seven children in the parking lot, only one was apprehended. The suit cites erroneous procedures when the curfew law was adopted.

The suit also claims physical damage and continued suffering by the minor.
Additonal claims include that the city as well as officer Jones are liable for wrongful arrest and detention, and Dalton is liable for use of “ . . . unnecesary, unjustified excessive force, false imprisonment and unlawful warrantless search of the contents of his cell phone.”

The complaint filed in federal court in Oxford reflects only one side of the incident and attorney Colmon Mitchell who represents the City of Batesville said last week the matter had been turned over to the city’s insurance company who would handle the claim.

Batesville, MS Police Brutality is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

By Guest Writer Merijoe and George Sand

In the wake of the Kelly Thomas death, citizens of Fullerton demanded answers as to why the harmless, homeless, schizophrenic, man was violently beaten and ultimately killed by Fullerton police. Video footage of the event was available, but not made public immediately. The police department did not address the death immediately, but waited before suspending the officers.

City Council member Pat McKinley claimed it took 30 days for the police department to even address the Kelly Thomas issue because the police department did not appreciate the gravity of the situation – even though the before and after pictures of the victim very clearly depicted the “gravity” of what had transpired. Councilman McKinley, who is also a former Fullerton Police Chief, defended decisions to keep the video under wraps, and insisted the cause of death was undetermined. He further defended the officers by claiming the eye witnesses’ accounts were “exaggerated” and claiming that it was not physically possible for 6 men to beat one victim at the same time (see his heinous interview below, with some very compelling and on-point questions by the interviewer).

Another Council Member, F. Dick Jones absurdly said he did not know why Kelly Thomas died, because he had seen “far worse injuries” that were survivable.

The event sparked outrage, and has since led to a string of discoveries regarding Fullerton PD incompetence and malice. The Veth Mam case came to light as another incident in which a Fullerton officer Hamptom slapped a video camera out of Mam’s handsbecause Mam was filming another beatdown by Fullerton officers. Mam was jailed and charged with assault on a police officer and resisting arrest.

Officer Rincon was found to have arrested women, handcuffed them, and sexually assaulted them between 2005 and 2008 (more here).

Citizens of Fullerton were outraged at the patent failure of police to police themselves, as well as the incompetence, and perhaps willful ignorance of city officials. Thus, an effort to instigate a recall election was born, with Tony Bushala taking the lead. People of Fullerton have attended public meetings and protested at the police station in an effort to oust the incompetent people in government. In particular, the recall movement has focused on Council Members Pat McKinley, F. Dick Jones, and Don Bankhead.

In response, McKinley called the recall activists “uneducated” at an anti-recall fundraiser. Those in power also sent out mailers to Fullerton residents, reminding people that if they had signed the petition, they could recant their signatures. The mailer further went on to lambaste Tony Bushala.

According to activist Merijoe, Council Member Don Bankhead was peeved when he saw volunteers bringing awareness to the recall movement. His wife got into a screaming match with the volunteers, and eventually, they both went inside the grocery store, and had the manager call the Fullerton police to evict them from the premises.

“It is just never-ending buffoonery throughout the years from these 3,” observes Merijoe. “They boast that they served in the military for years and are stellar members of the community…Military background and excellent personal character are wonderful qualities, but they do not qualify any person to sit in public office…”

“Until they are able to respect the U.S. Constitution and represent the people who have voted them in office…they shouldn’t expect anything less than anger from the taxpayers who pay their bloated salaries,” says Merijoe. All petitions are due in by February 16, 2012.

Sign the petition to prevent this excessive police force from happening to anyone else…The attempted MURDER by the ordered police dog begins at 5:03… the vicious attack continues over one minute and thirty seconds…then they pull the huge killer dog off me at 6:38…Viewer discretion is advised…

From a nursing assistant (NA) to a License Vocational Nurse (LVN) since the age of NINETEEN! to a Registered Nurse (RN) since the age of TWENTY THREE! to a future Medical Doctor (Surgeon, MD); to having my future operating arm mauled and chewed on and my dreams intruded with the following footage.
ALLEGEDLY! An officer placed a called about a stolen vehicle and a Black Man, a rookie saw me driving a Mercedes that he could not afford; then crashed into me as I was looking for a safe place to park.

Once they found out they made a mistake and that I was the owner of that brand new Mercedes; they attempted to cover up their mistake by sentencing me to SEVEN YEARS IN PRISON! without reading my rights or allowing me to use the telephone, and they tried to alleged that I crashed my car head-on into them several times, resisted arrest, and strike/kicked a police dog while seating in a seat belted Mercedes SUV getting mauled by a HUGE GERMAN SHEPARD!?!?! equating to SEVEN YEARS IN PRISON!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I was found by my love ones reporting me missing and I had to pay $50,000!!! to bailed out! FOR MY FREEDOM!!
Now I am free demanding justice so this does not happen to anyone else. Next court date is in Orange County C5 on Dec 7, 2011. Please pray for me and all those that have experienced excessive force and who have been MURDERED!!!

After I was crashed into I felt pain, confusion and fear. I instinctively did not initially stop in fear for my life (sympathetic nervous system “fight or flight response”).
Once the vehicle came to a complete stop you could hear the officer thug yell out “THE DOG!!!” not come out with your hands up in accordance with policy, he immediately calls for ” THE DOG!!” LIKE IN THE 60′S!!! then the thugs ordered the dog to attack me while I still had my SEAT BELT ON!

Then shot me in the spine with an electrical gun WHILE I STILL HAD MY SEAT BELT ON! Then punched me in the head SEVERAL TIMES while I still had my SEAT BELT ON!!

Then they stood there and watched the huge vicious German Shepard viciously attack me for over NINETY SECONDS! waiting for me to BLEED TO DEATH!
BECAUSE I DID NOT DIE!!! they opened the drivers door and SHOT ME AGAIN with the electrical gun( the electrical scar is to my inner left bicep indicating that if I didn’t have my arm instinctively up in the air I would have been shot in the face!)

They shot me while the vicious dog was STILL ATTACKING ME then they ordered the dog off me, unbuckled my safety belt, PULLED ME OUT BY MY HAIR, hand cuffed me, slammed me to the concrete, kicked me in the face and head, hog tied my feet to my hands and the beating got immensely worse!!
When I could not take the beating anymore, I YELLED for HELP! (frame 3:44) then the THUG cop reaches for HIS GUN!!! Then they beating became extremely, immensely worse!

Was this ATTEMPTED MURDER, HATE CRIME and EXCESSIVE POLICE FORCE protecting and serving a tax paying American Citizen???
Having a huge German Shepard chew on my artery for over NINETY Seconds is ATTEMPTED MURDER!

ATTEMPTED MURDER caught on tape!! Do we now understand why so many people of color DO NOT LIVE PAST THE AGE OF 35!!!
DO WE NOW UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE OF COLOR are in the penal code system. We now understand why Billions of more Dollars are spent on building new prisons instead of schools; while teachers are being fired and forced to work less.

Now do we understand how they plan on filling these newly built prisons.

As a Public Health Nurse in an Orange County jail; my experience was unimaginable. They segregate the minorities and put them in the worse living conditions; mold, rust, mildew, chip paint, MRSA!!, bed bugs and flees where we were suppose to sleep AND LIVE FOR 23 HOURS A DAY!!!

We were the last people to get food, they gave us old dirty clothes to wear and we were physically, emotionally, spiritually and psychologically abused daily .
Ironically!! This tragedy (March, 2011!!!) occurred Exactly 20 years from the 1991 Rodney King BEATING!!! (March, 1991!!!) This is the worse act of ATTEMPTED MURDER! RACIAL DISCRIMINATION, FALSE IMPRISONMENT, Kid napping, RACIAL profiling, TERRORISM and EXCESSIVE POLICE FORCE to a LICENSED VOCATIONAL NURSE/REGISTERED NURSE caught on film!!!

FOUR MONTHS AFTER THIS ATTEMPTED MURDER!!!, THOMAS KELLY WAS MURDERED!!! IN THE SAME FASHION!!! IN THE SAME ORANGE COUNTY!!!
My Condolences to his family I am truly sorry for your lost.

A guest post in via SUBMIT A POST

I have been planning on writing on the reasons why I do not like or respect cops and today is the day. You have to understand that this is not a decision made overnight but one that has come with years of experience. You see I am in my mid 40′s and am old enough to have seen the progression of how these people think and work. I hold a degree in history and political science so I am educated in two areas where tyrants shine. You don’t have a good chance of making the history books unless you kill a lot of people and subjugate a whole bunch more. I am former military and fireman and once ran for political office so I am not a crack head mad that I got busted with a rock. With that out of the way let’s start the journey.

I was a kid in the 70′s and came of age in the 1980′s, I feel very lucky that I was born when I was because I enjoyed much more freedom than those born later. I remember when cops were just guys from the neighborhood and were your next door neighbor. I remember when seeing a police car gave me comfort and not dread. The bad part is that I have seen a better county start to fall and it is sad. So, I will just begin with my experiences with those who “protect and serve”.

I will kind of skim over the speeding tickets, you know, I have a gun and am going to steal your cash and I am going to be a dick while I do it, routine. I once had a cop pop a blood vessel because I didn’t change the address on my license, imagine if I had just robbed a liquor store, Christ calm down. How dare I not let my masters know where I live?

I have only been “in trouble” once in my life. It was 1989 and my girlfriend of the time and I were living together. Now she was a firecracker when she got mad and liked to confront very aggressively, so one summer day we got into a argument and she was being crazy, me, still being naïve and stupid thought that I would call the cops and she would calm down so we could get past it, dumb move. The cop was a douche of course and arrested me for what state law called having a penis, you see I went to jail not because she was pressing charges or evidence of wrong doing but because the state says if that call gets placed and you’re the one with the penis you go to jail.

I spent the night in jail and the next day I was released, I was not to have contact with my girlfriend. Now when your girlfriend lives in your house it’s hard not to have contact, it’s my freak’in house! The day I was released was July 5th that just so happened to be a record heat wave that day and I had to walk home which was many miles from that jail. So, with one phone call I had now put myself in jail and made myself homeless and had no car or ride. I had heat stroke day and almost died, I had to stop at a stranger’s house and ask for help. Lesson learned, never call the cops.

At a later time I was pulled up on by a police car while I walked down the street with my girlfriend, what was my crime? I looked like someone they were looking for, no dumb asses, if I was running from the police I wouldn’t be openly walking down the street, they didn’t apologize and they left.

Later I joined the military and the stories I could tell would blow your mind but that is for another time, although I do consider the military as doing time, because you really are no more than a prisoner just hoping you live long enough to get out.

The next experience I had was when my stereo was stolen from my car and I called the police because that is what you are suppose to do, the cop that showed up was not interested and seemed bothered to have to deal with something he didn’t care about, I never saw my stereo or that cop again.

Not long after the stereo fiasco there were three plain clothes cops at the door, I opened the door to a plethora of threats. I mean this detective was a class A asshole. It turns out that my neighbor was writing bad checks and since I lived next door I must be a terrorist, no apology.

Next was another stolen stereo, the cop didn’t even bother to get out of his cruiser, and the next week they stole the whole truck. The cop still didn’t get out. I have no idea if they ever caught who did it, but they did find my truck on blocks some time later, gee thanks. I could have found a truck on blocks. They then towed my stolen truck to the impound yard where the state then charged me a fee to get my own stolen truck back, screwed again. You can’t make this stuff up.

Then there was the one that really broke the camel’s back, a few years ago my nephew finds out that his wife is sleeping around, and, say it with me, yep, a cop. The cop was fully aware that she was married but what does he care he’s a cop.

Now I could write forever and you would get bored after a while so I will wrap up, but if you are keeping score, in all my years there has never been a time that I have said, man, I am glad that cop helped me, because it has never happened. I have been more screwed from the state and cops many times more than any criminal has ever hurt me. They are a gang no different than any other. Oh, and I forgot to mention this, the guy that you would go to if you wanted some weed is now a member of SWAT, how do you like that.

After reading about the atrocities committed by police on this blog, one has happened in my backyard. And just like many of those examples, police, again, get away with murder. Literally.

It began (click here for more) early in the morning of November 6th, 2010 in Mount Joy Borough, PA.. Robert Neill, age 61, called police like a dutiful citizen to report being harassed by neighbors. Somehow he ended up dead.

The government report, which of course is only one side of the tale since the other can’t tell his, reports that he became “combative and aggressive,” and was enraged when they tried to calm him down. Instead of doing the appropriate thing and leaving, they of course try to “do something”.  That something lead to his death. He was shot by Tasers, at least twice, as well as being pepper sprayed. The official cause of death was from an abnormal heartbeat (maybe because his heart was shocked with electricity).

I can imagine the scene like this: Mr. Neill calls the cops to complain about noisy neighbors. The cops arrive, find nothing, and try to talk to him. Its the middle of night, he’s already angry about the harassment, and now they don’t get what he is talking about. Understandable that he may have been angry at the whole situation. He walks toward them upset about why they can’t understand his complaint.

A normal person in this situation would try to talk, and barring that,  just leave and get out of there. Instead, the cops attack him because they feel “threatened” (AWWWWWW). They get more cops to attack him. Now, does anybody in their right mind expect an angry person who is being tased and attacked to get less angry? Only the protected class of government agents would think this is a good idea. So, he ends up dead because of their actions.

If this happened to anybody but government agents, they would be thrown in jail and charged with manslaughter. But predictably, since they aren’t lowly citizens, they are cleared of all wrong doing by the state Attorney General. (click here for more) There is nothing else released about the incident; no officer names and no justification except “the cops did nothing wrong.”

That is unacceptable in a just society. The cops should be in jail for their actions. Instead, their superiors and cohorts cover for them and the state justice system lets them get away scott free for killing a man, for a reason nobody knows.

I’m disgusted, and I’m going to go protest in front of the police station. Even if there is no official justice, at least I will make this murder uncomfortable for those responsible.
