Phoenix Police Officer Is Sunk By Own Cam

"Richard Greco, in an interview with a Phoenix police internal investigator, said his employers had selected less than five minutes out of hundreds of hours of video to paint an inaccurate picture of his work as a patrol officer. The footage captures him cursing at suspects and witnesses, and making disparaging remarks about them to other officers, including referring to one as 'retarded,' calling another a 'jackass' and another a 'bitch.' When that revelation was combined with a 2008 disciplinary action Greco received for making inappropriate comments about female co-workers in the presence of other police officers, it was enough to terminate the 10-year veteran last year."

"WVNS 59 posted this video in their website and Facebook; when the news came on for the evening the video was edited so as the man seemed uncontrollable and was in the wrong.

Yes, You Have Something to Fear, Even if You’re a Law-Abiding Person

"Whether we’re talking about NSA spying, cross-border collection and sharing of private financial data by tax-hungry governments, pointlessly intrusive money-laundering laws, or other schemes to give the state more power and authority, we’re often told that 'if you’re a law-abiding person, you have nothing to fear.' But that assumes government is both competent and trustworthy. You don’t have to be a crazed libertarian like me to realize that those two words are not a good description of Washington. If we cross the wrong bureaucrat, our lives may be ruined – particularly since there are very few checks and balances to restrain these petty tyrants." Continue reading →

Support the Egyptian Uprising and Go to Jail

"Lynne Stewart read a note to the press that was construed as exhorting Egyptian radicals to rise up and violently overthrow the Egyptian military dictatorship under Hosni Mubarak. She is now living the rest of her life in a federal penitentiary. Thus, the state of U.S. law is this: In principle, it’s okay to support the right of people to use force to resist tyranny. After all, that’s what the Declaration of Independence says, a document that Americans just celebrated on the Fourth of July. But in the minds of U.S. officials, by exhorting Egyptians to violently overthrow their tyrannical, U.S.-supported regime, Stewart was guilty of being a supporter of terrorism." Continue reading →

Adam Kokesh Blog Statement On Arrest

"US Parks Police (an arm of the DHS) were assisted by local Herndon police in the armed invasion. The officers used a battering ram to knock in the door after two knocks, and did not announce that they had a warrant. Immediately after breaking down the door, a flash bang grenade was deployed in the foyer. Assault rifles were aimed on all members of the team as they were handcuffed without being told why they were detained. Masked and armored police in full 'Storm Trooper' gear flooded in and ransacked the residence. Over the course of the next five hours, the police searched every corner of the house with canine units and blueprints." Continue reading →
