Conversely, there were over 1,000 people killed by cops for the fourth year in a row, according to the website killedbypolice.net, which operates a database of individuals killed by law enforcement officers.”

California’s War on Guns Broadens to a War on Ammunition

“California’s war on guns will soon broaden to a war on ammunition as a ban on the possession of bullets purchased out-of-state takes effect January 1, 2018. According to the Sacramento Bee, it will also be illegal ‘to transfer or buy ammo’ from anyone other than a licensed dealer within the state, beginning January 1. California residents can order ammunition from a catalog as long as they have that ammunition shipped to a licensed dealer for pickup. The dealer will then add a ‘processing fee’ to the cost of the ammunition.”

CA “Heroes” Beat Motorist Over Tinted Windows, “Missing” Front Plate

“In Pasadena, CA some ‘heroes’ (aka, law enforcers) noticed a motorist driving a car with windows that were tinted ‘too much’ and which was missing its front license plate. These are heinous offenses against the peace, you see. Can’t that let that go. A stop was initiated. Which quickly led to a violent beat down of the unarmed, unresisting motorist.”

How Immigration Crackdowns Screw Up Americans’ Lives

“Although the U.S. has been illegally deporting citizens for over a century, the number started soaring when Congress eliminated the right to judicial review for criminal aliens in the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. The idea was to remove the barriers to ejecting immigrants who posed a danger to Americans. But the result was a general weakening of legal protections and the rise of an unaccountable immigration bureaucracy that itself has become a danger to Americans.”

Jury rules cops were justified in SWAT raid over family’s loose-leaf tea

“No one disputes that the Hartes are innocent of any criminal wrongdoing. No one disputes that the officers conducted a raid on their home after mistaking tea for marijuana. And no one disputes that the officers improperly used the results of notoriously unreliable field tests as probable cause for the mistaken raid, instead of sending the tea to a lab for more rigorous testing. No one disputes any of these things. Yet the system failed to compensate the Hartes for what happened to them, and the system failed to hold any of the law enforcement officers accountable for their mistakes.”
