Why Mehserle should have been convicted of murder

Friday, July 23rd, 2010
I hear a lot of irrelevant considerations in the discussion regarding the Oscar Grant shooting. Some of these reasons include “because I like police,” “because without police, there would be anarchy,” “because police are racist,” or “because Oscar Grant was a thug.” None of these opinions are relevant. Liking police has no bearing on what Mehserle [...]

“They’ve Done Something Really, Really Wrong in Arresting those Guys.” – Penn Jillette

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010
Penn Jillette did this Penn Point about our (Pete and I) wrongful arrest in Greenfield, MA from London.  He mentions the Free State Project and our arrest. He sides with us, like most logical people.

Oakland PD threatens public to avoid layoffs

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010
Earlier last week, Oakland’s chief of police directed a thinly veiled threat to the public regarding the layoffs of 80 police officers from the Oakland Police Department.  The police union recently asked for a guarantee of no layoffs for three years.  City Council refused.  City Council President Jane Brunner said, “We wish we could offer [...]

PBS.org doing stories on string of police atrocities in wake of Katrina

Sunday, July 18th, 2010
These stories are too numerous to list on Copblock.org so it will better serve the interests of PBS to just refer to their site and the work they are doing by bringing the violent and criminal actions taken by so-called "law enforcement" in the wake of hurricane Katrina to light.

GreenfieldPD and Brad Jardis Face Off in Comments Section

Thursday, July 15th, 2010
Brad Jardis gives his response to “GreenfieldPD” who’s been spending a lot of time commenting on CopBlock.org lately. I hope he’s learning something and takes it back to share with the other LEOs.  It’s interesting to see this current cop and former cop discuss the meaning of policing as their views of the same [...]

After Four Years Court Holds Two KC Cops Accountable

Monday, July 5th, 2010
A Missouri appeals court has ruled that Kansas City’s Board of Police Commissions acted properly and within their discretion when they fired Officers Melody Spencer and Kevin Schnell.  Both officers were fired after they denied a pregnant woman medical care during an arrest even though she pleaded to go to a hospital because she was [...]

Happy Secession Day

Sunday, July 4th, 2010
I hear today is some national holiday, it started when a bunch of slave owners declared everyone is equal then gave only voting powers to white, male land owners then counted blacks as 3/5 of a person. They rebelled against an oppressive government that was always stealing the people’s money via high taxes. The high taxes [...]

Detained For Being Out At Night

Friday, July 2nd, 2010
A few nights ago Concord, NH area liberty activist Garret Ean was detained for the crime of being out late at night and for looking generally youthful in appearance.  I’d like to start a discussion on how I believe Garret (and possibly you) could handle this situation better in the future [...]

Police Details: Generally A Huge Waste Of $

Thursday, July 1st, 2010
The police have a monopoly on regulating roads, sidewalks, and everything that should traverse them.  When anyone wants to do any type of construction/work/repairs to a piece of public sidewalk … count on a requirement that a police officer stand there and do nothing.  Like this: The taxpayers are bilked continuously at tens of thousands of [...]

UPDATE: Friday’s Finest Video Contest – July

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010
Last month for the first ever Friday’s Finest Video Contest, Rusty Carr, who found us via Photography is NOT a Crime, donated $100 to the prize pool.  He seems to be pleased with what the contest produced last month because he’s stepped up again, giving Cop Block another $100 to distribute to the best police [...]
