Adam Rupeka gave piece of shit former officer Nathan Baker the middle finger salute while driving (May 2014) POS cop pepper sprayed and arrested him. POS cop resigned before he could get fired.

Saratoga Springs city paid $50.000 to Adam Rupeka of Troy who got pepper sprayed and arrested after flipping off a police officer.

The city also released video that also shows Baker threatening to use a taser on a handcuffed Rupeka at the police station.



The video taken by Rupeka after getting pulled over by Baker shows the officer shooting pepper spray in the driver’s face when he did not get out of his car and questioned why he was being arrested.

Baker later resigned. At the time, Police Chief Gregory Vietch said the officer’s conduct was inappropriate.

 “The job of a police officer is not to drive around delivering attitude adjustments to those citizens who show unmistakable signs of being in need of one,” Veitch said. “Obviously we want our officers to behave professionally and use force appropriately. In this case it was something we thought required termination or separation from the police department,”

He added that even if Baker had been provoked, his actions were inconsistent with the department’s policies, training methods and values.

For the full story from Adam himself, http://www.copblock.org/126581/copblock-contributor-pepper-sprayed-arrested-giving-cop-bird/  where he takes through step by step of what asshole cops are.... 1)ignoring the Supreme Court ruling that they can not arrest you for gesturing at them 2) not using a nuetralizing agent after handcuffing a suspect (remember, innocent until proven guilty by a court) 3) putting peppersprayed suspect in cop car without lower windows, turning on AC etc, just to further antagonize the suspect

in tragic news, some justice for the family of an 11 year old girl, killed by a NY State Trooper who rammed the family car, flipping it, killing the kid... after pulling the car over for speeding, and pepper spraying the occupants - who then took off to try and evade the lunatic officer

 A former New York State trooper has been charged with murder and manslaughter, and until Wednesday's indictment of Christopher Baldner, no state trooper "in recent times" had ever been indicted for murder.

Probably, none needed to be, until now. 

The state trooper “used his car as a deadly weapon” according to New York Attorney General Letitia James.

This wasn't the first time he'd used his police unit as a deadly weapon. The indictment also charges him with endangering the lives of three people by ramming his vehicle into their car in a separate incident in the Kingston area in September 2019. 

PLUS Gov. Kathy Hochul cited that Trooper Baldner struck a car in the same area in January 2017. 

What is also criminal is that neither of the previous battering ram events were ever going to blight his professional record until this event. SO, what I'm saying, is, that the state attorney general, and his supervisors and superiors, could have prevented this death by taking him to task for that 2019 ramming, OR the 2017 ramming.

Has ANY news outlet point out that this girl's death, and he families grief, would have been prevented if they'd done their jobs? Nope. I realized that myself. This trooper ought to have been set straight before killing Monica Goods. 

James, in a press release, said the girl’s father was pulled over by Baldner for speeding, and after the driver asked to speak to the supervisor, the trooper “deployed pepper spray into the interior of the car,” leading the father to drive off because he feared for their safety, prompting Baldner to give chase.

Monica Goods’ father told the Daily News that Baldner pulled him over for speeding and the two argued. Goods told the Daily News that Baldner lost his temper and sprayed the interior of the SUV with pepper spray, striking him, the girls’ stepmother and the two girls.

Fearing for his life, Goods said, he drove off and Baldner pursued him, ramming him twice at high speed. The two crashes — documented in state police accident reports — caused the SUV to flip over a guardrail, ejecting Monica.

The attorney general charged Baldner with second-degree murder — which carries a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison — second-degree manslaughter and reckless endangerment.

"Police officers are entrusted to protect and serve, but Trooper Baldner allegedly violated that trust when he used his car as a deadly weapon and killed a young girl," James said. "While nothing will bring Monica back, we must hold law enforcement to the highest standards, which is why my office is committed to seeking justice in this case."

So, regardless of the police brutality of the past couple of years, and all the deserved factual publicity fall out, like the murders by police being the motivating push to nation wide protests against police who behave as though they, their police academy instructors, their road supervisors, and their police chiefs  have not been educated on due process, and power tripping cops are still losing their fucking minds because they are not, and have not been, focused on professional behavior. 

Thanks Kim!

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/27/nyregion/monica-goods-christopher-baldner.html  but the NY Times is behind a pay wall. It's probably worth the cost of a subscription, as the Times really has a ton of fine journalism

So,  the job of "reporters" continues, to keep up the public shaming of police, police departments, sheriffs, and state troopers, their police unions (who are SUPPOSED to be relevant to the professional behavior of their union members) police chiefs, police captains, police commissioners, mayors and governors who collectively have failed to be professional, legal, and respectable.  

the govt should pass a law that removes settlements for police brutality, from the police departments budget. When (not if) the dept goes bankrupt, they fire all the people in the dept, and start off with a new staff. Thus, getting rid of the bad cops, and getting them replaced, and teaching a lesson publicly, all at once

New York City will pay $21,500 to each of at least 200 protesters who were detained, arrested or met with force by police

The city said it will also pay $21,500 per plaintiff for legal costs and an extra $2,500 to protesters who were given court appearance tickets, meaning the bill from the class-action lawsuit could be close to $10 million or more.

It’s one of several lawsuits against NYPD officers who mistreated protesters who took to the streets nightly after the police killing of Floyd in Minnesota on May 25, 2020.

plaintiffs' attorney Ali Frick told ABC News. "This was essentially a premeditated show of force against people who were demonstrating against police violence."

plaintiff Henry Wood said in a statement released through lawyers. “What the NYPD did, aided by the political powers of New York City, was an extreme abuse of power.”

Samira Sierra, another of the protesters who sued, said "We had every right to protest, yet, the City of New York made an explicit statement that day that the people of the Bronx are at will to be terrorized,"

The civil rights organization Human Rights Watch released a report in October 2020 citing evidence that police planned an aggressive crackdown on the Mott Haven protesters.

Police used bicycles to form a wall around protesters while officers, including some in riot gear, attacked demonstrators — beating them with batons, kicking and punching them, and spraying them with pepper spray, the report said.

There were 320 protesters restrained with zip ties, battered with batons and hit with pepper spray, according to their lawsuit that named the city, the department and individual high-ranking members of the NYPD.

for those who still believe that cops are all wonderful, here's a look at one that is, and one that ain't. Cop on cop abuse.... and the roid rager racist is easy to see by his reaction to the small woman cop that stepped in to stop him from getting fired when he was going off on a suspect

A female officer stopped a raging cop from attacking a black young man suspect in handcuffs, inside a police unit, so he turned his rage on her, choking her before slamming her into the patrol car. 

The suspect’s compliance was of no concern to Sgt. Christopher Pullease, however, who pulled up to the scene after the suspect was in the back of the squad car. For no apparent reason, Pullease began threatening the suspect with a can of pepper spray.

The veteran officer is now on desk duty and under investigation. 

 For no apparent reason, the officer began threatening the suspect with a can of pepper spray. Luckily for the suspect, there was a good cop on the scene who was unafraid of stepping in to stop a bad cop in his tracks. 

 Despite this clear act of assault captured on video, Pullease hasn’t been arrested, fired, or even placed on unpaid leave. Instead, he’s still collecting a paycheck as the department investigates.

 “I find it to be inappropriate and unprofessional, because what he did is he escalated the situation when calm was actually required,” Chief Anthony Rosa told 7 News Miami, describing Pullease’s actions that day as “disgusting.”

So, right there is your racist roid rager, and one good cop. 

The one good cop was assaulted by the asshole, and so this post shows all of you, that sure, there are good cops. They get manhandled by the bad ones. The bad ones aren't arrested. They are given desk jobs. 

once again, a federal circuit court of appeals has weighed in on "are personalized license plates (“vanity plates”) government speech or private speech" (1st amendment protected free speech the govt can NOT interfere with) Thank you Capt Doug!

In the case of Whateley v Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals 

"Does Virginia speak for itself through the character combinations on the personalized plates it issues – in which case, it is entitled to express the views of its choice? 

Or do Virginia’s personalized plates convey the private speech of drivers like Whateley – in which case, government restrictions on that speech must pass muster under the First Amendment?"

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Virginia’s personalized license plate messages ARE private (free) speech subject to 1st Amendment protection the govt may not censor

And of course, the starched shirts in state govt won't have any free speech go uncensored, and immediately replied that this will be appealed to the Supreme Court

“The commonwealth has a responsibility to ensure that state-issued license plates are not profane and do not promote dangerous hate speech or incite harm,” said RaeAnn Pickett, a spokeswoman for Jay Jones, the state’s attorney general.

Seemingly ignorant, or deliberately overlooking the implication that the govt by this rationale, has the responsibility of not promoting and inciting harm, which, clearly no govt entity I'm aware of operates with any concern about promoting hate and inciting harm/riots (see history of US Govt, and state govt, and police departments, operating with racism and prejudice against blacks and native Americans (2/3rds vote, slavery, police tactics in the March to Selma, pepper spray on nonviolent protesters during the past decade https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=pepper+spray etc etc ad nauseum )

A great montage of road rage clips. Useful to watch when you're tired and sleepy... not recommended if you're already pissed, or overly caffienated

The clip that starts at the 3 minute mark? Ought to be a scene in a movie - or hell, ought to be the BEGINNING of a movie and where it goes after that? I don't know. Something like Michael Douglas in Falling Down maybe, or Clerks.

This is why it's worth carrying 30 dollars worth of bear spray. If you know what pepper spray is, then you know that few people can ignore it, and you can shoot it from one car into another if the window is open. YOU CANNOT deal with it if the wind blows it back your way though, so, do NOT spray while moving, or while downwind.

Well.. this ought to give someone nightmares, and you'll never absentmindedly open your car door ever again

Always have a can of wasp spray handy. It's better than pepper spray for people, bears, bees, what ever is attacking you that you'd rather be left alone by. Good for 15 to 25 feet of stream spray.  

Newly-implemented California laws are shedding light on how law enforcement agencies investigate and discipline officers.

California’s SB12 and SB1421 require law enforcement agencies to publish the full investigative and disciplinary records in cases where the department found evidence of officer misconduct

This new mandated transparency reveals dozens of local cases where the San Diego Police Department found its own officers used excessive force, exhibited racist behavior, sexually harassed members of the public or fellow officers, conducted unlawful searches, failed to use body cameras properly and more.

NBC 7 Investigates reviewed 68 internal affairs investigations from the San Diego Police Department for incidents that took place from 2014 to 2022. We spoke with city leaders and police oversight officials who say they found the cases “eye-opening” and “disturbing.” They also called for more transparency and accountability from police.

Since 2014, there have been multiple findings of discriminatory behavior by San Diego Police officers, including several supervisors. One such incident happened on Jan. 27, 2021. A group of officers, including a K9 officer and their dog, arrested several illegal gambling suspects inside a business. While an officer handcuffed one woman, multiple body camera recordings captured Sgt. Brandon Woodland saying, “It only likes dark meat.” Investigative reports describe the woman as Asian or Hispanic.

on June 14, 2021, Officer McNett arrested a woman for smoking on the boardwalk and lied about what happened next.

Investigative documents and body camera video shows McNett and the suspect arriving at a police station for booking. The suspect complains when McNett and another officer try to secure her in the vehicle with a seatbelt. While resisting their efforts, the report states that she tried to get out of the vehicle and tried to kick an officer. McNett pulled her out of the vehicle to the pavement, which investigators said was warranted by her actions. When she was on the ground, in handcuffs, and no longer resisting, McNett used pepper spray on her eyes. 

In his police report, McNett claimed she tried to kick him on the ground before he pepper sprayed her. Investigators said that didn’t happen. 

McNett received a letter of reprimand, but refused to sign it. He’s still employed with San Diego Police as an officer.

https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/investigations/racist-comments-excessive-force-and-offensive-behavior-revealed-in-san-diego-police-department-internal-affairs-cases/3166439/?_osource=newltr_v2_station_Hdlines_KNSD

What gets me is that the police union cry foul, and say that minor issues are not worth the scrutiny and public embarrasment caused by this law that forces them to have transparency into their on the job behavior, in uniform. 

Jared Wilson, President of the San Diego Police Officers Association has a wholly different reaction to the newly released records. He also says most officers joined with the understanding personnel files were private.

“That wasn’t the deal for what they signed up for,” Wilson said.

Wilson says he understands why some officer misconduct, like criminal activity, warrants full public transparency. But he says more minor offenses are often corrected after a letter of reprimand, and most officers go on to become professional and upstanding employees for decades afterward.

- So, just like the minor bullshit that cops are fucking with the public about? Go back to McNett arresting a woman for smoking on the boardwalk... that is public sidewalk between the beach, and the businesses of Pacific Beach and Mission Beach. This wasn't McNett's first fuckup, where he went beserk over someone smoking - except, the other example, was someone NOT smoking. 

on May 23, 2019. Investigative documents and body-camera video shows Officer McNett approaching a woman holding an unlit cigarette in her mouth.

Officer McNett: The reason I’m contacting you is that you’re smoking on the boardwalk.
Woman: I’m not smoking.
Officer McNett: Well you had a cigarette in your mouth and a cigarette in your hand and you can’t be smoking on the boardwalk.
Woman: I’m not smoking.

The video shows McNett handcuffing the woman after she starts walking away from him. He tells her it’s illegal to hold a lit or unlit cigarette in her mouth on the boardwalk. A few minutes later, she’s uncuffed and given a citation for smoking on the boardwalk. The internal affairs investigation found that she was not breaking the law and was wrongfully arrested.

I repeat, fuck the police. Asshole bullies with badges, who are freaked out that now they are LEGALLY and LAWFULLY exposed to public scrutiny, for their PROFESSIONAL behavior, reprimands, and criminal activities. 

“Having that paper (letter of reprimand) in your file when you’ve never been in trouble in your entire life it’s impactful, it’s meaningful, and it has an effect on your career,” Wilson said. Of 68 sustained findings of officer misconduct since 2014, 16 officers were disciplined with a letter of reprimand. However, it was impossible for NBC 7 Investigates to get a complete picture of how the San Diego Police Department disciplines officers because 37 of those 68 cases were missing investigative files with discipline information.

Yup, someone destroyed the evidence, in the police station, of police misconduct. Not that this is a surprise, entire police departments in LA county destroyed all records when the law was passed that made their professional records public domain. I posted about that last year. 

NBC reporters were repeatedly denied interviews for this story by the San Diego Police Department., Police Chief David Nisleit, a high-ranking internal affairs investigator, a department spokesperson, and also reached out to each of the officers mentioned in this story to give them an opportunity to respond. NBC never heard back from any of them. 

So, freedom of the press, that constitutional right... meets the blue line of tax payer funded public servants hired to enforce laws, like that constitutional law. The police responded with a publicity statement of smoke and mirrors.

are the police hiring just any asshole? Last week it was the pepper spray cop, this week 2 off-duty Oakland County Sheriff’s deputies were arrested for drunk driving

The vehicle driven by one of the off-duty deputies rear-ended a vehicle driven by a 70-year-old woman

The off-duty deputy was arrested for allegedly operating while impaired and possession of a firearm while intoxicated. The passenger was arrested for being in possession of a firearm while allegedly intoxicated. Both weapons were off-duty handguns, officials said.

http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2016/03/18/duty-oakland-county-deputies-arrested/81998974/

A 65-year-old Oklahoman, Debra Hamil, refused to sign an $80 ticket for a broken taillight, then kicks the cop in the balls - "Yeah I kicked you, cause I'm a country girl" - yeah, really. She did that, she said that.

That's pretty ridiculous. Well, so was the cop pointing his pistol at her, for that matter, what the hell is he telling her she's under arrest for, not signing the ticket? Hell if I know, is that a felony? A misdemeanor? Is not signing a ticket something cops are supposed to arrest you for? Then how the hell can they leave a ticket on under the wiper blade when you aren't there - as that ticket isn't signed either... anyway, I think he was being an ass telling her she's under arrest, and decided that he was going to deviate from calm and professional, and not escalating matters, to being an asshole, right there.

Was she being an asshole? Of course, but she IS NOT BEING PAID to be professional. Just keep that in mind when I give assholes a pass because they aren't wearing a badge and pointing a gun. If you're an asshole, you ain't ready to have a gun with bullets that you point at old women who DO NOT HAVE a gun.

If you ain't going to use the damn thing, leave it in your holster dumbass. Draw the taser instead, or pepper spray.

Why? O, this ol tiger wasn't going down without a fight... that's for damn sure. She's full of beans, this one is, and ain't got no time for tickets.

By the way, word on a different news outlet was that she TOLD him the brake light lens had been broken for 6 months, and that was where he had that info from at the beginning of the video.

Longer version of the video below....



https://www.kansascity.com/news/nation-world/national/article233319322.html  has an even longer version

Cashion police did not immediately respond to McClatchy news group’s request for comment on the incident on Tuesday afternoon, but Oklahoma state court records said Hamil appeared in court on July 17 facing a felony charge of assaulting a policy officer and a misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer.

Charges filed in Kingfisher County court accuse Hamil of “willfully and unlawfully kicking” the officer “on or about the groin” and of “failing to follow the lawful commands” of a police officer.

The felony battery charge is punishable with up to five years in prison, while the misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer is punishable with up to one year in prison, court records said.

Hamil is set to appear in court next in August, court records said.

The NYPD might stop violating constitutional rights at protests. I know, not likely, but they're in court and lost lawsuits brought by Attorney General Letitia James, the Legal Aid Society, and the New York Civil Liberties Union

The lawsuits proved that police used excessive force, made illegal arrests and violated protesters’ First Amendment rights. If they hadn't, the NYPD wouldn't be forced to giving in. 

"The Police Benevolent Association, which represents rank-and-file officers, said it would not."

With that much evidence that they are criminally guilty, how is it that the Mayor, the police commissioner, and the police union are not going to be found guilty, and removed from their jobs? 

"Protesters filed hundreds of lawsuits and civilian complaints, describing chaotic scenes with police driving through crowds, indiscriminately spewing pepper spray, breaking bones with baton strikes and numbing demonstrator's hands with tight zip ties. 

The Civilian Complaint Review Board, which investigates some allegations of police misconduct, found that at least 146 members of service who responded to the protests broke department policy"

None lost their badge, none were arrested for breaking bones, none arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, with a police cruiser.

One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did

Lieutenant Timothy Dolan, a 26-year veteran who leads the traffic unit and serves as vice president of the OPOA police union, was paid $493,247 in overtime in 2024. Combined with his salary and other pay, this netted him a $711,000 paycheck, making him OPD’s highest-paid employee — a title he’s held for several years now. His pay was almost double that of the chief of police and nearly three times the mayor’s paycheck.

In Dolan’s case, he earned at least $100,000 in overtime — and possibly far more — solely by reviewing paperwork for traffic collisions, records reveal.

The paperwork for Dolan’s overtime also reveals that OPD failed to document almost half of the overtime hours he worked, making it impossible to determine what he was doing much of the time.

Dolan spent over 800 hours of overtime in 2024 reviewing collision reports — the equivalent of about five months of work in a normal full-time job.

In 2024, Dolan logged an eye-popping amount of overtime — 3,304 hours, records reveal. This was on top of the 1,938 hours he worked as part of his normal shifts, for a total of 5,242 hours. That’s the equivalent of more than two and a half full-time jobs.

Some work stretches were seemingly superhuman, according to the records OPD provided us.

On July 9, Dolan reported he worked 23 hours. The next day, he worked 16 hours, and for the following three days, he worked 15 hours each.

Dolan’s overtime records raise concerns about how he, or any officer, can safely and effectively do their job without taking time to rest; he didn’t respond to questions about that.

“Truck drivers are only allowed to drive so many hours in a day for safety reasons,” said Julian Ware, vice president for IFPTE Local 21, a union that represents civilian city employees and which has been critical of OPD’s use of overtime. “I don’t think it should be any different for sworn officers who are carrying guns, tasers, and pepper spray, and driving vehicles. It’s a tremendous amount of responsibility that they have.”

“There’s so much research and data just in general about sleep deprivation and safety,” said Brooks. “It also impacts your irritability, your mood, mood swings.… How are you treating Oaklanders that you come in contact with? There’s no way that you’re having capable or competent judgment.”

according to his Overtime Worked Forms, he worked at least 19 days in a row — and Dolan worked 15 hours or more on all but two of these days. The department didn’t respond to questions about whether Dolan was authorized to do this.

For five years now, Oakland has struggled with immense budget deficits.

One major source of overspending in the city is the police department. By far the most expensive city service, the Oakland Police Department’s $386 million budget this year is about 19% of Oakland’s total spending. And each year, OPD has come under scrutiny for its runaway overtime spending, routinely blowing past its approved levels by millions of dollars. Last fiscal year, the Department spent over $55 million on overtime. Thirty-one million of this was over budget.

But historical data throws into question whether increasing staffing will rectify OPD’s chronic overtime overspending. A recent report by several civilian city unions found that over the past 15 years, even when department staffing increased, overtime continued to go up. From 2011 to 2024, staffing increased by nearly 9%. Over the same period, overtime went up by almost 200%.

Recent financial pressures have caused the city to lay off scores of civilian employees and freeze spending across a range of programs. Meanwhile, the number of police officers bringing in six-figure overtime packages rose dramatically.

In 2021, 58 officers were paid over $100,000 in overtime. By the end of 2024, the number of officers paid this much for overtime nearly tripled to 169.

And the number of officers making over $200,000 in overtime more than quadrupled from six to a total of 27 over the same period.

AlaBAMA (Tom Hanks voice) good ol boy cop Jason Davis... turned off the dash cam, so he could get retarded without creating evidence that he's a fuck up and embarrassment to police in uniform everywhere as he went full retard (Never go full retard - Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder). Red neck Alabama police don't understand civil rights, never have. Probably never will.

 Federal appeals court judges ruled Tuesday that Alabama police officers (like imbeciles Jason Davis, Brian Waid, and Frederick Blake) should face trial on allegations of excessive force filed by a truck driver who was tased and beaten during a 2014 accident investigation. 

A district court judge (no doubt paid off by the police union) had previously dismissed the case because the officers had qualified immunity, which protects police from being sued for doing their jobs. However, immunity does not apply if officers violate a constitutional right.

Immunity for three police officers accused of using excessive force against a truck driver has been revoked following a federal appeals court judge ruling. 

 The initial altercation occurred in Homewood, Alabama on May 23rd, 2014, but the new ruling was reached earlier this week, on October 20th, 2020. 

 According to AL News, truck driver Moses Stryker was making a late-night delivery to a Walmart when a woman blocked his truck with her vehicle and accused him of damaging her car. 

'Hold my beer and watch this' officer Jason Davis responded to the scene and started to get angry when Stryker pulled out his camera in order to get pictures of the incident for his company. 

Davis then pointed his gun at Stryker and tased him in the back. When Stryker attempted to escape by climbing back into the cab of his truck, the two struggled and Davis ended up breaking Stryker’s jaw.

 Stryker was able to make it back into the cab of his truck and lock the door, so Davis called for backup before breaking open the truck window with a baton and pulling Stryker out of the cab while using pepper spray on him. 

'That's nothing, we can help' officers Brian Waid and Frederick Blake then arrived on the scene and aided in pulling Stryker out of the truck before all three officers proceeded to kick and beat the truck driver.

 

Stryker then sued the city of Homewood but the local sister kisser good ol boy district court judge dismissed the case on the grounds that the police officers had ‘qualified immunity,’ which protects them from being sued for ‘doing their job.’ 

But since that's bullshit and everyone with an IQ over 80 knows is, the federal appeals court judges have ruled that the officers violated Stryker’s constitutional rights, eliminating their qualified immunity.

“Moses Stryker was tased, beaten and left with a broken jaw after a routine accident investigation by the City of Homewood spiraled out of control,” according to the ruling by judges on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Pretty funny... he thought that it was a rubber hose situation, when, all along, it was a pepper spray situation instead.

Today I learned the Minneapolis Police slashed all the tires (rental cars of reporters by the way) in a Kmart parking lot (revenge for being put on blast for killing George Floyd) and remembered Frances McDormand spelling out why all police are "Culpable" of being criminals under the law passed in the 1980s,

Two law enforcement agencies acknowledged Monday that officers patrolling Minneapolis during the height of recent protests knifed the tires of numerous vehicles parked and unoccupied in at least two locations in the midst of the unrest. Video and photo images posted on the news outlet Mother Jones show officers in military-style uniforms puncturing tires in the Kmart parking lot at Lake Street and Nicollet Avenue on May 30.

https://www.motherjones.com/anti-racism-police-protest/2020/06/videos-show-cops-slashing-car-tires-at-protests-in-minneapolis/

On June 8, two law enforcement agencies confirmed to the Star Tribune that they had punctured the tires: the Minnesota State Patrol and the Anoka County Sheriff’s Department.

It's hard to forget this incredible actress giving this scene depth, with her fantastic deliverance and veiled threat to destroy the religious cult of personality. It's the same as the world finally realizing the police cult of personality sham. They benefited from Andy Griffith and all the other wonderful small town police characters that are saints of protect and serve. 

In reality, Minneapolis police have been murdering , instead, cutting out due process, of the citizens. So have too many other police departments. Camden New Jersey was so unbelievably corrupt (yeah, New Jersey, like that comes as any shock after that entire region was outed as corrupt by Serpico) that they were all fired, and the city of Camden started over hand picking new police who weren't part of the historic corruption. 

By the way, for every reflexive bleat from old white people about looting and rioting (the only things news outlets will focus on as they aren't about to do investigative journalism on cops, no one would believe the corruption could be so pervasive) well, if you could use your brains for a moment, just a single moment, to realize there is no organized protest, there is no way of keeping the vast unknown number of people from being joined by people with bad intent, and frankly, undercover cops who pose as protesters, while fully going riot and mayhem on stores and banks, simply to cast the entire protest in shame. Yeah, it's called tactics, didn't you ever hear of Sun Tzu? Fucking hell, read a damn book, learn from the success of the powerful that will win at any cost

Anyway, I digressed into reality there for a moment. Back to the old white people bleating complaints - if you're so damn upset about uncontrolled protests with no all powerful leaders who would keep their tens of thousands of followers in control, you will now understand EXACTLY why protestors demand that the POLICE DEPT and MAYORS and CITY COUNCIL keep the police under control and prevent them from MURDERING George Flyod and Breonna Taylor, and hundreds of others each year. Yes, the hundreds that don't make the news. 

So. Are we on the same playing field? Police who are in a gang, of thugs, completely knowing, understanding, and witnessing murder (Waco Massacre, for example) (George Floyd, just two weeks ago) by police who have a charter, a compact, an oath of office, a lot of leaders (shift supervisor, watch commander, police chief, police commissioner, Mayor, city council, governor, and the police union too, lets not forget those tools) to train, educate, and ensure compliance (police love compliance, from everyone not wearing a badge) to the limits of police procedure, and police policy) while that large amount of stricture to rules is on police, who instead use DEADLY FORCE and murder people - versus protesters with no leader, no written rules except the constitutional amendment, that is specifically, the right to peaceably assemble to petition the government for redress of grievances, and without any ability to prevent infiltrators from working under cloak of "protesting" to destroy the narrative and actions of peaceful protesters. 

If you don't believe that police are doing that, may I remind you that they murder people, like George Floyd, on video, over the course of 9 minutes when any other cop could step the fuck up and be a professional with integrity and say, get off his neck, he's not in any way a threat or a risk to us dozens of police - he's in handcuffs. Put him in the back seat.

So, along with shooting rubber bullets the size of dildos into peoples faces to permanently blind, using batons to cripple, killing wantonly the asthmatic reporter (1st amendment right of the freedom of the press) Sarah Grossman in a peaceful protest who then died from the pepper spray and tear gas used by cops (seriously, it's all on video online, I don't even lie. You simply can't believe I'm going to post every damn video that proves everything I'm saying, either you're a EEG deflection capable person, or you've got rocks for brains) police murdered George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. I could list the guy in the back of the van they killed by driving erratically so he was bludgeoned to death by being tossed around inside the van, or the guy they shot in the back as he ran away, then planted a gun on his dead body, but nah, you're either understanding that I'm not making shit up, or you believe nothing I'm saying. 

For the rest of you that just come here for the fun car stuff, pardon me for having a moment of frustrated rage that some people are brain dead, and trying to clarify for the pinheads that they simply have no brainwaves that can be induced to think with. 

All because I learned today that the Minneapolis police, (who seriously need to be disbanded, de-unionzed, and replaced with R Lee Ermey types with integrity, character, and determination to be law abiding and professional while on the job) prove that they are imbecile bullies afraid of being held responsible for their actions recorded on video... slash dozens of tires, which if you can be reminded, is simple vandalism that the POLICE as supposed to ARREST people for NOT FUCKIN COMMIT THE FUCKING CRIME THEMSELVES

Now, back to our regularly scheduled amusement and entertainment as soon as I can make the time to go find some. This moment to explain reality took a damn hour, and now I need to get some lunch.

A uniformed U.S. Army lieutenant was struck, pepper-sprayed, and handcuffed at a traffic stop in Virginia, and now he can present his claims of false imprisonment and assault and battery to a jury, a federal judge has ruled.

the summary judgment Tuesday said federal immunity laws shield the two officers involved from facing Caron Nazario’s claims that they violated the Black and Hispanic soldier's constitutional protections against excessive force and unreasonable seizure, as well as his right to free speech by allegedly threatening him with arrest if he complained about their behavior. 

 U.S. District Judge Roderick C. Young also ruled that the officer who initially pulled Nazario over is liable for illegally searching for a gun in the soldier's SUV in violation of the U.S. Constitution and Virginia law, leaving the question of damages on that point up to a jury. Nazario had a concealed carry permit. 

The December 2020 traffic stop of the uniformed military officer in the small town of Windsor drew national attention and outrage after Nazario sued in April 2021, citing police body camera images and his cellphone video of the encounter. He was never charged with a crime.

The lawsuit says both officers escalated the situation by immediately pointing their guns at Nazario and trying to pull him out of the vehicle while he kept his hands in the air. Gutierrez pepper-sprayed Nazario multiple times as the officers yelled for him to get out.

At one point, Nazario said he was afraid to get out, to which Gutierrez replied: “You should be.”

When Nazario did get out and ask for a supervisor, Gutierrez responded with “knee-strikes” to his legs, knocking him to the ground, where the two officers struck him multiple times and then handcuffed and interrogated him, the lawsuit says.

The judge also wrote that Nazario’s claims under the U.S. Constitution of unlawful seizure and excessive force present questions about the officers' conduct that could be put before a jury. But Young threw out the allegations under the federal doctrine of qualified immunity, which balances accountability with the need to shield officials who reasonably perform their jobs.

For example, the judge wrote that there is not a “clearly established right prohibiting the aiming of firearms, the use of threats or the use of OC spray against a suspect who has repeatedly refused to comply with lawful commands to exit a vehicle.”

The allegation that Nazario’s free speech was violated was also tossed under the federal immunity doctrine.

However, Young said Nazario's claims under state law, false imprisonment and assault and battery, can move forward. The judge wrote that Virginia law “only provides local officials immunity from suits alleging negligence.” 

Explaining his summary judgment on Crocker's search for the gun, Young wrote that “the firearm was not relevant evidence for the crimes of eluding or obstruction of justice." However, he said Nazario’s claims that Gutierrez knew about the search and failed to intervene could proceed to trial.

Now you understand just how little your freedom of speech matters, or your liberty, when police are involved. 

This federal judge clearly points out that a citizen who is not illegally driving, but under the mistaken identity of incompetent police who can't see the legal display of a temporary license plate, has no freedom of speech, and is a slave that must obey "under the federal doctrine of qualified immunity, .... the need to shield officials who reasonably perform their jobs." even when they don't reasonably perform their jobs. 

That is why the police that murdered George Floyd were not fired by their police dept until after, and why they only were convicted of murder after, the vast number of people and news outlets showed that police killed Floyd over 9 minutes of intentional and unnecessary suffocation and circulation obstruction, 

The allegation that Nazario’s free speech was violated was also tossed under the federal immunity doctrine.

However, Young said Nazario's claims under state law, false imprisonment and assault and battery, can move forward. The judge wrote that Virginia law “only provides local officials immunity from suits alleging negligence.”

Police abuse and criminal behavior, that the police dept, the police union, the police commissioner, the Mayor of Minneapolis, and the governor of Minnesota didn't have a problem with... as I pointed out, the police didn't take action against those that murdered Floyd.. ..  resulted in Minneapolis paying $27 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Floyd's family. 

The cop that murdered George Floyd for being black, Derek Chauvin, has now been convicted of third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, unintentional second-degree murder, and sentenced to 22 years in prison

Chauvin pled guilty to federal charges of violating Floyd's civil rights by using unreasonable force. Guilty, but he did it, as he intending to kill Floyd, for 9 minutes. Publicly, while being recorded on video. 

The other three officers were also convicted of violating Floyd's civil rights.

Lane pleaded guilty to a state charge for aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.

Kueng and Thao are scheduled to be tried on state charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter on October 24, 2022.

So, as I said before, record any interaction you or someone else has with any police. Because it's the only chance you have of getting evidence you can use in court to convict them of breaking, not enforcing, law, and your civil rights. 

Remember, Walter Scott was shot in the back by police, who then planted a gun on him, then gave false testimony that they killed him for threatening their life. But one video recording of the murder of Scott, and the plant of the gun, revealed that cops murder, and lie, expecting to go back to work the next day, free to murder again.

On May 19, 2022, a 13-year-old boy, shot in the back by a Chicago police officer, was unarmed and had his arms raised to surrender.

The seventh grader, who had been a passenger, was complying with orders from several officers screaming at him to put his hands up. The boy, "was unarmed and did as he was instructed. But the officer still shot him — recklessly, callously, and wantonly — right through his back,"

A  2017 report by the U.S. Department of Justice accused the Chicago Police Department of "tolerating racially discriminatory conduct" by officers

The road to professional, honest, not racist, police in America started a long time ago, maybe with the march from Selma to the state capitol (Montgomery Alabama) but it hasn't made much progress, and police have NOT changed their racist murdering method of intimidating citizens. 

This article took 2 hours. It was worth it. I happen to believe there are many reasons it is necessary for me to type and post this, one is supporting the military. You may have forgotten, but the story began with a uniformed  Army Lt getting assaulted by cops, that were in the wrong. He had not broken a law, nor committed a crime.
