  • There are a couple of good facebook sites that have stories and videos of police brutality and the general militarization of the police force. Now some of the stuff I think is stupid like when they advocate not saying anything to the police when you are pulled over. That's called being a dick and being a dick gets you a ticket or in some cases a beat down, a bullet or a trip to jail. I have always been polite and courteous to the police when I have been stopped and only have gotten a ticket once and that was a cop that was a dick that pulled me over for going through a yellow light.

    But anyway, if I am pulled over at night, not only do I unroll my window I will shut off my stereo and any other noisemaker and I will turn on my interior lights. I am always polite and courteous and answer "yes sir." no sir." or whatever. Except for that one jerk I have always just gotten warnings and one time when I was overtired driving home at night the trooper told me to pull off to the rest stop that was a few miles down the road and get myself a coffee. I didn't have that far to go that night.

    But there are real cases of police abusing their power and sadly, it's becoming more and more of a problem. It's become more the norm instead of the exception. And more often than not, the cops just get a few days or weeks of paid vacation then a pat on the back and a welcome back. We have cops shooting unarmed people, cops beating on people that are already handcuffed while they have 6 cops jumping on a guy yelling "Stop resisting!" They probably taze and maybe shoot the guy just for good measure.

    This has made me take the step of getting myself a dash cam...not only for this, but it's also good for accidents and other stuff you might come across on the road.

    But here are a couple of the cop watch web sites...

    Here cops illegally enter a house without a warrant to beat the crap out of a guy...



    Here we have a bunch of thugs beating a mentally disabled man...



    Here cops beat and arrest some black guys for sport....



    This college kid sarcastically says to the cop "What, you going to shoot me?" And the cop shot and killed him.



    This cop shoots an unarmed man and then beat the crap out of him...



    And this is why states like Indiana passed a law saying you can shoot cops that invade your home and car...

  • Here's the good news...

    State Passes Law to Legalize Shooting Police
    Read more at http://thefreethoughtproject.com/state-passes-law-legalize-self-defense-police/#f6l0yyiXwHxUezBQ.99

    Finally some rational legislation is passed concerning ‘public servants’ unlawfully entering another person’s property.

    All too often, we see examples of cops breaking into the wrong house and shooting the family dog, or worse, killing a member of the family.

    Well, Indiana has taken action to “recognize the unique character of a citizen’s home and to ensure that a citizen feels secure in his or her own home against unlawful intrusion by another individual or a public servant.”

    This special amendment is no revolutionary new thought, only common sense.

    Self-defense is a natural right; when laws are in place that protect incompetent police by removing one’s ability to protect one’s self, simply because the aggressor has a badge and a uniform, this is a human rights violation. Indiana is leading the way by recognizing this right and creating legislation to protect it.

    Of course cops have already begun to fear monger the passage of this bill, “If I pull over a car and I walk up to it and the guy shoots me, he’s going to say, ‘Well, he was trying to illegally enter my property,’ ” said Joseph Hubbard, 40, president of Jeffersonville Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 100. “Somebody is going get away with killing a cop because of this law.”

    Instead of looking at the beneficial aspect of this law, which creates the incentive for police to act responsibly and just, Hubbard takes the ‘higher than thou’ attitude and is simply worried about himself.

    How about questioning the immoral laws that you are enforcing in the first place? Or how about sympathizing with the innocent people whose pets and family members have been slain, due to police negligence?

  • In Maryland they actually passed a law making it illegal to video tape the police, fortunately a judge tossed out the law.

  • New York is trying the same thing...taking the last jelly doughnut could get you jail time!

    ‘Annoy’ a Cop in New York State? That Could Soon Earn You 4 Years in Jail

    It should be a felony to “annoy” a cop in New York, the state Senate has voted.

    The New York State Senate passed a bill today that “creates the crime of aggravated harassment of a police or peace officer. The bill  (S.2402), sponsored by Senator Joe Griffo (R-C-I, Rome) would make it a felony to harass, annoy, or threaten a police officer while on duty. ”

    More from Griffo:

    “Police officers who risk their lives every day in our cities and on our highways deserve every possible protection, and those who treat them with disrespect, harass them and create situations that can lead to injuries deserve to pay a price for their actions.”

    The bill establishes this crime as a Class E Felony, punishable by up to four years in prison.

    “At a time when shocking incidents of disrespect and outright confrontation are at an all-time high, the men and women who patrol the streets of our cities deserve every possible protection we can offer them,” Senator Griffo stated. “My bill would make it a crime to take any type of physical action to try to intimidate a police officer. This is a necessary action because we can see from the rise in incidents that too many people in our society have lost the respect they need to have for a police officer. We need to make it very clear that when a police officer is performing his duty, every citizen needs to comply and that refusal to comply carries a penalty.”


    Utica (N.Y.) Police Department Chief Mark Williams said he is “grateful” to see this bill pass through the Senate. Williams adds:

    “Our police officers have a very dangerous job and need the support of our government leaders to help make them safe. All too often persons are physically challenging police officers in the line of duty. Currently in those instances where an officer is physically attack [sic] (short of sustaining a physical injury) the lawful charge is only a violation. The consequences are way too low for the offender and it sends the wrong message to the public. Police officers are the public’s first line of defense to restore order in dangerous/chaotic situations. Citizens do not have the legal right to physically challenge the authority of an officer lawfully performing their duties. Threats, intimidation and physical force used upon our police officers not only erode respect for our criminal justice system, but also endanger the public as well.”

    The bill is being sent to the Assembly.



    The question now becomes: if it passes the full legislature, who defines what “annoy” means?

    This is the same issue that came up with "child annoyance" laws a decade ago.

    The courts threw out the laws based on ambiguity and stating the term was too broad.
