Cop Punches Restrained Man In Testicles, Another Has Foot On His Head

"I was walking back to Baldwin St. & I came across loud cries coming from an alleyway 'Stop, I’m not resisting' the voice yells. I hear glass bottles breaking and literally what seems to be some sort of fight going on Behind the locked gate… the first image in this album. I looked through the hole to see what was going on. When I looked I saw one officer just walking right out of frame. A few seconds later the shop owner that had the key to the gate came and opened it for me as if she was telling me to go ahead and take photos of what I see. So I open the gate and walk through and I see Officers stoping on this mans head, punching him in his balls & stepping on his head…." Continue reading →

Teen arrested for iPhone ‘terrorism’ at school faces 20 years in prison

"The boy, who has not been named, was a student at H.L. Bourgeois High school. He had downloaded a phone application called 'The Real Strike' which utilizes the camera on a smart phone and superimposes a picture of a gun over the live-feed video. Whatever the camera phone points towards shows up on the screen with a graphic of a gun pointed towards it. The user can then use the app to simulate a mock shootout, and can record and share the results. The student used his phone at school to record some of his classmates, allegedly making a video of a mock shootout at school." Continue reading →

Police officer shoots unarmed man 41 times, reloading twice

"I grew up in Garland Texas (where this took place). And everyone in the DFW area knows which suburbs of Dallas have the worst police. Garland Police has been at the top of that list (as #1) with most people who have voiced their opinion for at least 30 years, stating that they find Garland Police to be the most disagreeable. Garland is where previously fired cops go for employment. All of them should be locked into a burning portable toilet." Continue reading →

Licensed to Kill: Growing Phenomenon of Police Shooting Unarmed Citizens

"This mindset that any challenge to police authority is a threat that needs to be 'neutralized' is a dangerous one that is part of a greater nationwide trend that sets law enforcement officers beyond the reach of the Fourth Amendment. Equally problematic is the trend in the courts that acquits officers involved in such shootings, letting them off with barely a slap to the wrists. What exactly are we teaching these young officers in the police academy when the slightest thing, whether it be a hand in a pocket, a man running towards them, a flashlight on a keychain, or a dehumanizing stare can ignite a strong enough 'fear for their safety' to justify firing on an unarmed person?"

Cop Gets Six Months For Killing Mackala Ross and Delores Epps

"Former Memphis police officer Alex Beard was speeding to a call with no siren when he rammed into a car, killing 13-year-old Mackala Ross and her mother, Delores Epps, age 53. Mackala’s father, Michael Ross, was severely injured, but survived the crash. This week the former officer was offered a plea deal by prosecutors: six months in jail. Mr. Ross said the sentence was like a 'slap in my face.' The prosecutor said 'this was the best that could be done.' Hmm. The above photo is Mackala’s school locker where her classmates made a little memorial." Continue reading →

Police Are More Dangerous To The Public Than Are Criminals

"The American public is too brainwashed to be able to defend itself. Consider the fact that cops seldom face any consequence when they murder citizens. We never hear cops called 'citizen killer.' But if a citizen kills some overbearing cop bully, the media go ballistic: 'Cop killer, cop killer.' The screaming doesn’t stop until the cop killer is executed. As long as a brainwashed public continues to accept that cop lives are more precious than their own, citizens will continue to be brutalized and murdered by police psychopaths." Continue reading →

Police Bullets Hit Bystanders, and Questions Rise Yet Again

"The shooting on Saturday was the first time bystanders had been hit in 2013, the police said. During the same period in 2012, 13 bystanders were wounded, including 9 in the shooting near the Empire State Building. The same rules governing officers’ use of weapons apply to all settings, including densely crowded streets or inside buildings, policing experts said. 'Just because you’re in Times Square doesn’t mean you can’t use deadly physical force if you believe that it’s necessary,' said John C. Cerar, a retired deputy inspector who was the commander of the Police Department’s firearms training. 'But you have to believe that it’s really necessary.'" Continue reading →

At that time, according to a witness who spoke toThe Daily News, the unidentified man started 'pretending that he had a gun' and 'aimed it at the cops.' The cops fired three shots, none of which hit the suspect. However, an unidentified 54-year-old woman in a walker was struck in the right leg, and a 35-year-old woman was grazed in the buttocks."

Charlotte police kill man running to them for help

"Police in North Carolina shot and killed a man running toward them Saturday morning -- but he may have just been looking for help after a car wreck.
