Police Shoot More People

You know there is something sick and wrong going on when police put organic stores in the top crime list and shoot harmless deers :doh:

I remember the deer. I was also sickened when they killed a guy's dog too who was just trying to protect his master, and the man wasn't doing anything illegal to be arrested either, he was just video taping the police getting ready to do something and I guess they didn't like it, not one bit.

I sense a pattern here. Police being overly aggressive and shooting for no apparent reason. Maybe all of this is part of this:

“When I first heard about the quotas I was appalled,” says former Auburn police officer Justin Hanners, who claims he and other cops were given directives to hassle, ticket, or arrest specific numbers of residents per shift. “I got into law enforcement to serve and protect, not be a bully.”

Hanners blew the whistle on the department’s tactics and was eventually fired for refusing to comply and keep quiet. He says that each officer was required to make 100 contacts each month, which included tickets, arrests, field interviews, and warnings. This equates to 72,000 contacts a year in a 50,000 person town. His claims are backed up by audio recordings of his superiors he made. The Auburn police department declined requests to be interviewed for this story.

Add to the equation the privatized prisons and we see how things connect and make sense.

Judge Mark Ciavarella Jr. Sentenced to 28 Years after Conspiring with Prisons to Trade Kids for Cash

The releasing of illegally and unjustly-imprisoned people is something we were told would happen. Looks like it is, but can’t happen fast enough for all those folks still incarcerated as a result of a corrupt judicial system.

Pennsylvania judge Mark Ciavarella Jr. has been sentenced to almost three decades in jail after conspiring with private prisons to trade kids for cash.

In the private prison industry, longer sentences earn more money from the state.

Since 2003, Ciavarella received millions of dollars in bribes for condemning minors to maximum prison sentences. In one case, Ciavarella sentenced a 10-year-old to two years in a detention facility for accidentally bottoming out his mother’s car.

According to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, over 5,000 young men and women were unjustly sentenced to prison and denied their constitutional rights. Many of them have now been released and cleared of their charges.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has overturned some 4,000 convictions issued by him between 2003 and 2008, claiming he violated the constitutional rights of the juveniles – including the right to legal counsel and the right to intelligently enter a plea. Some of the juveniles he sentenced were as young as 10-years old.

Ciavarella was convicted of 12 counts, including racketeering, money laundering, mail fraud and tax evasion. He was also ordered to repay $1.2 million in restitution.

His “kids for cash” program has revealed that corruption is indeed within the prison system, mostly driven by the growth in private prisons seeking profits by any means necessary.

Ciavarella, known for his harsh and autocratic courtroom manner, was convicted of racketeering, money laundering, mail fraud, and tax evasion. He was ordered to pay $1.2 million in restitution.

“Unfortunately, two judges in Luzerne County have caused unimaginable taint to the laudable efforts of many dedicated individuals,” Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille said, “conduct for which those two judges presently are paying dearly,”

Ciaveralla’s attorneys requested a reasonable sentencing, arguing that the media attention brought to the case was punishment enough: “He will forever be unjustly branded as the `Kids for Cash’ judge.”

Pennsylvania judge Michael Conahan was accused as a co-conspirator, but pleaded guilty on the charge. Since 2003, he collected more than $2 million from PA Child Care and Western PA Child Care detention centers.

Corporate America any one?
 
While I know a quota is stupid when it comes to law enforcement almost every job has one or else the workers get lazy.

I can understand both of the arguments on that one.
 
Wow Judges screwing kids lives up for cash is a new low. I can't wait till that judge gets to play with all his new friends in prison when they find out he was a judge. If he ends up going into protective custody I give him a year before he breaks down mentally

I don't understand your reasoning at all. This is not like a car dealership here, these are rules that are messing with people's lives!
 
Some cops do have quotas but it's always unofficial and nearly always tied to the streets with speeding, parking tickets, expired tags/plates or such.
 
One of the darkest signs that the elite are losing their grip on power is the construction of the militarized police state specifically trained to combat domestic civil unrest. Local cops with tanks and other combat gear are working with Feds at Fusion centers, active Army units are on American soil for the first time in history, the NSA spy grid is being used by the IRS and DEA, and the elimination of due process for Americans under the NDAA are just some of the tyrannical moves made to secure the elite criminals from public backlash. They’re clearly scared, and they should be given what they’ve done to the American people and the Constitution.

To conceal carry a gun I'm pretty sure you have to go through some gun safety training first though.

It varies from state to state. In Georgia, all that is needed is a criminal background check (no safety course, no target qualification, etc).

You know, if more police were armed with non-lethal means of immobilization there would be less cases of accidental deaths.

Different departments have different methods. There are plenty of departments today that do not issue/carry Tasers (as an example).
 
Now, this happened some time ago, but there was a big police raid against organic grocery stores and farmers in California. Here is actual footage of it.

I guess they lost the war on drugs there, so now they decide to flex their muscles on the organic farming industry.

Monsanto has the police/government in their back pocket. :oldrazz: ...seriously though...
 
The sad part is, that statement is entirely accurate.

I'm glad someone else thinks so!

I almost didn't want to post that originally because I was sure that a certain poster would have come in here ranting in defense of Monsanto.

lol I know what you mean. It happens to me all the time. Best part is when mods agree with us in issues like monsanto and other controversial sociopolitical issues in general.

The cops in the second one sound a little too trigger happy

On Oct. 14, Bobby Gerald Bennett of Dallas, 59, of Dallas, Texas began acting erratically. While Bennett sat in a swivel chair in the middle of the cul de sac holding a knife, his mother, Joyce Jackson, called the police and asked the dispatcher to send officers who were trained in dealing with the mentally ill.

But when police arrived at 12:19 p.m., both officers quickly drew their weapons. One of the officers then fired four shots at Bennett, striking him once in the abdomen.

According to the press release issued by Dallas police Sgt. Warren Mitchell immediately after the shooting, Bennett “made statements indicating that he was not going to cooperate with the officers" and that “the incident escalated which led an officer to fire his weapon upon the individual.”

However, according to surveillance video captured by neighbor Maurice Bunch, Bennett was standing still during the entire incident and, when he was shot, his hands were down by his side. Bunch, who witnessed the shooting, tells WFAA:

“When the officers told him freeze, he complied,” said Bunch, who witnessed the incident from his driveway across the street. “He did not move an inch, in suspended animation; he just stood there, you know? Bobby was conscious, he knew exactly what he was doing because I had been talking to him prior.”
According to Bunch, the police were “trying to kill” Bennett.


Dallas police, after viewing Bunch’s surveillance footage, are now reviewing the incident:

We are in the very early stages of conducting a thorough criminal investigation of this incident. Once we complete the criminal investigation we will refer our findings to the Dallas County District Attorney's office [...] We will then begin the administrative investigation to determine whether our deadly force policy was violated. 




We are aware of video taken by citizens of this incident.
Bennett remains in the intensive care unit of a Dallas hospital.

So standing with your arms to your side and holding a knife while being mentally ill is enough to get shot in Dallas
 
In Texas, being mentally ill is enough. :whatever:

Had he actually done something threatening then I don't think there would be an issue in firing on him. Cops are supposed to be trained to handle these situations though it seems their training consists of shooting the suspect before attempting any non-lethal means.
 
Update on the above shooting. The cop who fired on the man, named Spencer, was fired and the police captain said it was not justifiable and that they are looking to charge him with aggrevated assault.

Naturally ex-officer Spencer's attorney claims that his client is being ramrodded by political and media pressure. Yeah, because lying in an affidavit (which he did) claiming one thing happened when there is abundant proof otherwise is "ramrodding" him.

I'm glad he has been called on this and the police aren't trying to justify or condone what happened.

Interesting. If the bad cops aren't killing you, then they'll just plant drugs on you.

The person who planted the drugs is a confidential informant, NOT a sheriff's office employee or police officer.
Now, is it possible that a "dirty cop" told the CI to do this? Yes.
But it is unfair to make the statement that you made in regards to this video/news report.
