The Rodney King incident projected the brutal reality of police abuse into living rooms across the nation, and for a while, the problem was front page news. Political leaders condemned ...

January 1, 2009, (the) murder of Oscar Grant – unarmed, offering no resistance, thrust face-down on the ground, shot in the back, and killed, videotaped on at least four cameras for irrefutable proof. USA Today said five bystanders taped it. His killer: Oakland, CA transit officer, Johannes Mehserle, tried for the killing, the jury told to consider four possible verdicts – innocent, second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, or involuntary manslaughter, jurors deciding the latter.

That statement of 70% of people liking the idea that cops can stop and verify your citizenship. are obviously not understanding the full impact of this law if were to be passed. Ignorant is blist and it would seem that these readers have no really understanding of what that means. First and utmost they need to disconnect from the Matrix that is known as the U.S. media, which is more controlling than any 3rd world country. The only issues is that they don't tell you that. Thus, most people get their reality from the media without ever questioning what they are being told. Wake up, you idiots! Al IT IS SIMPLE, RESPECT ...

What started as a series of rumors on a teen gossip site turned ugly when the target, 11-year-old Jessi Slaughter, posted a rambling, indignant defense of herself on YouTube. The video is a masterpiece of poise, profanity and self-esteem. Jessi thinks very highly of herself and is equally unforgiving of her critics, promising at one point: “If you can’t stop hating, you know what? I’ll pop a glock in your mouth and make a brain slushy.” The video is funny but sad, confirming all the stereotypes we hear about the upcoming Internet generation. Jessi’s monologue sounds like it comes straight off a message board, with all the rage, ...

Explosive gifts of three Molotov cocktails were thrown at 3 a.m. Tuesday at the office of Tempo magazine in Central Jakarta, immediately leading to condemnation all around. It was of course taken as a message of harassment and terror against all parties whose intention and job is to expose anything wrong in this country – mainly widespread, chronic corruption. For it is such abuse of power that is the last frontier of those expecting to be able to act in their business-as-usual style, whatever progress reformasi has reached. The pessimists have predicted that this is what the post-New Order Indonesia can expect — continued ...

Throughout our history the virus of racism has infected America’s
criminal justice system, and official crime statistics and data from
the Sentencing Project reflect the continued existence of racism in
criminal justice. Black females, for example, are incarcerated at
three times the rate of white females. But the principal victims
of criminal justice racism are black men. Because of criminal
convictions, 13% of black males are ineligible to vote. Although
blacks make up 12.1% of the population, 28% of arrestees are black
(almost all of them male), as are 34% (almost all of them male) of all

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Me and my friend were at a park talking. Like literally talking. And a cop came and asked what we were doing. We told him and he just asked for our id's to make sure we didn't have any warrants. When he came back he took down both of our phone numbers and said that we didn't do anything wrong and there was just a concern that my friend's car looked suspicious being parked by itself. I just am curious as to why he took down our phone numbers and what is he going to do with them? It's one of the things we note down when we complete a "Field Interview Report." In all likelihood, they ...
It was just too much, having to return to court twice on the same day to contest yet another traffic ticket, and Fire Chief Don Payne didn't hesitate to tell the judge what he thought of the police and their speed traps. The response from cops? They shot him. Right there in court. Payne ended up in the hospital, but his shooting last week brought to a boil simmering tensions between residents of this tiny former cotton city and their police force. Drivers quickly learn to slow to a crawl along the gravel roads and the two-lane highway that run through Jericho, but they say sometimes that isn't enough to fend off the ...
