Washington, D.C., police threatened a dog owner with a $750,000 fine for posting ‘Missing Dog’ posters across town. After losing his dog Ollie on March 30, Roger Horowitz was initially encouraged by police to post ‘Lost Dog’ posters on lamp posts, but a police officer recently told him to tear them all down. “So he told me that regardless if we put up the fliers, or if other people put them up, we had made the original flier that had my phone number, and that we could get fined up to $750,000,” he said to NBC Washington. The D.C. municipal code does in fact regulate ‘Missing Dog’ posters, despite the First Amendment. “No person shall affix a ...
Ex-drug officer says he stole cash, planted drugs many times

A disgraced ex-police officer testifying against his drug squad colleagues acknowledged Tuesday that he stole drug money, planted evidence and lied on police paperwork too many times to count. Jeffrey Walker told jurors that the Philadelphia Police Department drug squad targeted white "college-boy ... khaki-pants types" who were "easy to intimidate." That matches the description of some of the drug dealers who have testified at the six-week police corruption trial that the squad stole as much as $110,000 at a time during violent, no-warrant raids. Lead defendant Thomas Liciardello always got a cut of the stolen money, while the others split "jobs" that they ...
Leaked Document From Mayor to Police: Your Paycheck Depends on How Many Tickets You Write

Edmundson, MO– While police and their supporters continue to insist that police are out there keeping our streets safe, an internal document sent from the Edmundson Mayor John Gwaltney implies otherwise. The letter, which was included with the paychecks of the town’s police officers, spells out in very plain terms their actual role in the community – extorting money for the state. In the document obtained by ThinkProgress, the mayor is careful to point out that the town does not have quotas. He states that he only wants “good tickets” written but adds that he is still very disappointed that the Department had been extorting fewer people. Gwaltney ...

A National Guard drill based around dealing with civil unrest after a dirty bomb attack in California featured role players acting as angry Americans yelling ‘right-wing’ rhetoric. The exercise, which Infowars reporters were barred from attending, took place in Richmond this past weekend and involved more than 200 soldiers, airmen, local law enforcement and firefighting personnel.Footage captured by a local shows Guard troops pushing irate citizens away with batons before one of the protest group states, “I’m a sovereign citizen, I refuse to recognize you guys, I refuse to recognize you.”“Why in the course of a drill for a dirty bomb, would an actor claim to be ...
Hillary Clinton: Class President Of A Failed Generation

Hillary Clinton has always been at the head of her class. That includes being among the leading edge of the 80-million strong baby boom generation that first started arriving in 1946-1947. She did everything they did: Got out for Barry Goldwater in high school; got upwardly mobile to Wellesley and social liberation during college; got “Clean for Gene” and manned the anti-war barricades in the late 1960s; got to Washington to uplift the world in the 1970s; got down to the pursuit of power and position in the 1980s; joined the ruling class in the 1990’s; and has helped make a stupendous mess of things ever since. The baby boom generation which started with so much promise ...

Student used admin-level password to access school network An eighth grade student in Florida was charged with a felony cybercrime Wednesday after changing his teacher’s desktop background. According to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, 14-year-old middle school student Domanik Green accessed the school’s network late last month shortly after obtaining an admin-level password. In an attempted prank, Green changed the computer’s desktop wallpaper to a picture of two men kissing while a substitute filled in for his teacher. Speaking with the Tampa Bay Times‘ Josh Solomon, Green, who had previously been suspended for three days for accessing the network, stated that ...

A CBS4 investigation has learned that two Transportation Security Administration screeners at Denver International Airport have been fired after they were discovered manipulating passenger screening systems to allow a male TSA employee to fondle the genital areas of attractive male passengers. It happened roughly a dozen times, according to information gathered by CBS4. According to law enforcement reports obtained during the CBS4 investigation, a male TSA screener told a female colleague in 2014 that he “gropes” male passengers who come through the screening area at DIA. “He related that when a male he finds attractive comes to be screened by the scanning machine he will ...

DES MOINES, Iowa — The Des Moines County District Attorney’s Office has decided not to file charges against a police officer who shot and killed an innocent, unarmed woman at her home. Autumn Steele, 34, of Burlington, Iowa, was shot and killed by Officer Jesse Hill the morning after a domestic dispute with her husband. The officer came to the house to “supervise” the situation as she and her husband, Gabriel Steele, prepared to part ways. Neither husband or wife were armed. Court records show Autumn Steele was arrested the night before with a charge of domestic abuse. Steele was released from jail and informed that she could only return home with a police officer ...
Florida Cops Use Tank For Routine Traffic Stop, Assault Man For Flipping Them Off

Deputies from Alachua County Sheriff’s Department are using armored vehicles to conduct routine traffic stops It is hard to imagine that this surreal story does not originate in a nation run by a violent warlord (or maybe it does), but it actually comes from Florida, where Lucas Jewell, a resident of Gainesville noticed local members of the Alachua County Sheriff’s Department were riding through town in a tank-like armored vehicle that appears to be a Lanco BearCat, an armored personnel carrier intended for military use. As Mr. Jewell believes that this is a gross abuse of taxpayers’ dollars and is opposed to the militarization of police, he found this display of military ...
Chris Christie's big Presidential idea: torch Social Security

If there's any immutable rule in politics, it should be: beware of candidates who try to be "bold" merely for the sake of looking bold. Chris Christie, trying desperately to keep his Presidential hopes alive, wants to look bold, and he's not above throwing millions of elderly Americans under his campaign bus to do so. That's the only conceivable explanation for the New Jersey Republican governor's misinformed and dangerous proposals to "fix" Social Security. In his big campaign speech delivered Tuesday in New Hampshire, Christie showed that he doesn't understand what Social Security is for, why it exists, how it's funded, or who gets benefits ...

We have known Hillary Clinton both professionally and personally for close to 20 years, dating back to before President Bill Clinton's first trip to Africa in 1998 — a trip that they both acknowledge changed their lives, and gave considerable meaning to their post-White House years and to the activities of the Clinton Foundation. Joe, serving as the National Security Council Senior Director for African Affairs, was instrumental in arranging that historic visit. Our history became entwined with Hillary further after Valerie's identity as a CIA officer was deliberately exposed. That criminal act was taken in retribution for Joe's article in The New York Times in which he ...

A 24-year-old Turner woman was arrested for attacking a man with a baseball bat after she decided she wanted to end their relationship, police said. Haley Fox, 24, began an online relationship in 2013 with a 26-year-old Alabama man, according to a Marion County sheriff's office press release. Detectives say the man agreed to move to Oregon and live with Fox this month. When the two met in person for the first time on April 8, Fox led the man to a table outside her home to sit down and drink some wine, the sheriff's office said. "It is when Ms. Fox asked him to close his eyes that things took what could have been a deadly turn," the release reads. "Detectives ...

Image Credit: Charlie Archambault/Center for Public Integrity Lynchburg, VA — Nothing reeks of the police state like police officers assaulting and arresting children at school; especially an 11-year-old boy with autism. Meet Kayleb Moon-Robinson, a 6th grader at Linkhorne Middle School, whose life has been forever changed thanks to the American police state. Kayleb’s problems began one day as a teacher was yelling at him for misbehaving. In a fit of anger, Kaleb kicked a trashcan; not a teacher, not another student, a trashcan. When the school police officer witnessed Kaleb’s attack on the trashcan, instead of getting detention or losing his recess break, Kaleb ...
How “Just Doing My Job” is Creating and Bolstering a Dystopian Police State

Fret not fellow citizens, these “public servants” will only beat us, cage us, extort us and kill us, because they are “Just doing their Jobs.” In most professions, intelligence and education are desirable qualities. Not so in U.S. police departments, where the brutal, oppressive nature would be threatened by such acts as questioning and thinking. Informed readers already know that police departments do not hire people with high IQs, as The Free Thought Project previously reported. Couched in appeals to the common safety, these Orwellian tactics of seeking out ignorance obscures a deeper truism. Like the military, which serves as a tool of global hegemony, the police ...

With the passage of House Bill 195 into law, the State of Louisiana has banned the use of cash in all transactions involving secondhand goods. State representative Ricky Hardy, a co-author of the bill, claims that the bill targets criminals who traffic in stolen goods. According to Hardy, “It’s a mechanism to be used so the police department has something to go on and have a lead.” The bill prohibits cash transactions by “secondhand dealers,” defined to include garage sales, flea markets, resellers of specialty items, and even non-profit resellers like Goodwill. Curiously, it specifically exempts pawnbrokers from the ban. But of course, pawn ...

The National Institute on Drug Abuse, a US federal government research institute whose mission includes “bringing the power of science to bear on drug abuse and addiction,” has officially admitted that marijuana extracts can kill cancer cells. RT.com The institute has revised a page on its website entitled “DrugFacts: Is Marijuana Medicine?” citing a recent study conducted by a group of scientists at St. George’s University, London. “Recent animal studies have shown that marijuana extracts may help kill certain cancer cells and reduce the size of others,” the NIDA report stated, adding that evidence from “one cell culture study suggests that purified ...
Cop "Protecting and Serving" by Issuing Citation to Man in Wheelchair for Not Having Proof of Disability

San Diego, Calif. – In a telling display of law enforcement’s lack of common sense, Joey Canales, 31, had his transit pass seized by a transit cop prior to boarding the trolley. The cop’s reason for seizing Canales’ transit pass was that the man, who’s been disabled since he was born, did not have written proof that he was truly disabled. Apparently, the fact that Canales was in a wheelchair was not convincing enough. A stunned Canales recorded the encounter as the officer confiscated his bus pass and proceeded to write him a citation. He can be heard on video incredulously saying, “It’s his job to confiscate my card because I don’t have ...

Next week will mark the 20th anniversary of the terrorist bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which killed 168 people including 19 children. The mainstream media will undoubtedly focus its attention on Timothy McVeigh, who was put to death in June 2001 for his part in the crime. They might also mention Terry Nichols, who was convicted of helping McVeigh plan the bombing and is serving a life sentence without parole. There will be less discussion about how the FBI spent years hunting for a man who witnesses say accompanied McVeigh on the day of the bombing. They called this accomplice John Doe #2 and theories about his identity range from an Iraqi named Hussain ...

Don't Ban Powdered Alcohol

Last year the federal government's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) gave its approval to the maker of Palcohol, a powdered alcohol product, to market its just-add-water mix.The agency quickly backtracked, and the approval was "surrendered," to use TTB parlance. Now the product is back—TTB approved it last month—and set to come to market. It'll come in flavors like rum, margarita, and cosmopolitan. One of the chief concerns with Palcohol is that young people will snort it. This is impractical. The good people at Vice know this to be true, thanks to one staffer's attempt to do so, which resulted in "the powder turn[ing] straight ...

New details are emerging in the case of former corrections Officer Tom Fallis. He was arrested for murder three years after his wife’s death was ruled a suicide, despite being shot in the back of the head. The case was reopened in April of last year after previously unheard witness testimony surfaced in addition to claims that the case was mishandled by police detective Michael Yates. On Wednesday, an unidentified deputy was placed on paid leave pending an internal investigation. The deputy admitted that he had overheard Fallis confess to killing his wife on the night of her death as he responded to the scene, and he never reported it to anyone. Ashley Fallis ...

Solidarity, not skepticism: Patrolman Slager's supervisor comfortsthe killer as the victim's life ebbs away.As many have said, were it not for the video, Michael Thomas Slager would have been quickly exonerated – and, most likely, received a commendation – for the killing of Walter Scott. The most remarkable aspect of that video, however, is not the unbearable spectacle of the shooting itself, but rather the composed, almost clinical way that Slager executes the victim, and the ease with which he makes the transition from the killing to the cover-up.Slager’s body language while drawing and firing his gun suggested annoyance, rather than urgency. He never bothered to ...
BREAKING: Indiana Pizza Shop Reopens… Then Something Shocking Happened

Liberals tried with all their might and fury to shut Memories Pizza down because its owner prefers not to cater to a hypothetical gay wedding, but unfortunately for them, their mission failed. Not only did Kevin O’Connor’s Indiana pizzeria earn $842,000 in donations from tens of thousands of supporters, but it also reopened after an eight-day hiatus to a gigantic crowd of enthusiastic supporters. Within an hour of the pizzeria reopening at around 4 p.m. Thursday, every table was full and six customers were waiting for carryout orders. The amazing thing is that O’Connor, a 61-year-old father of eight, hasn’t changed his stance on the issue, all the protests and hoopla ...
