St Louis Police Bring Out Military Vehicles

Over the weekend St Louis Police shot and killed 17 year old Michael Brown who was unarmed in the city of Ferguson, a suburb of St Louis. People took to the streets and began rioting in protest. St Louis police are turning to their new military vehicles given to departments across America through the 1033 program. The Bearcat is a bullet proof medical vehicle used to get wounded soldiers off the battle field. This should come as no surprise as local police have been acquiring all sorts of military equipment. A Wisconsin Sheriff even purchased a tank instead of upgrading out of date guns. Do military vehicles escalate the situation? How do these keep citizens safe? The internet has ...
THE ISIS THREAT WILL BE USED FOR HOMELAND REPRESSION

Obama administration will exploit domestic peril to vilify political opposition With ISIS militants now threatening to attack the United States, the huge domestic anti-terror apparatus that has been built over the last decade will inevitably be used as a tool of homeland repression not to eliminate ISIS terrorists but to target politically active Americans who are adversarial to the Obama administration. As we have exhaustively documented, domestic law enforcement in the United States has become increasingly militarized in recent years, with police departments across the country purchasing MRAP armored vehicles that were first used to fight against insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Tony Abbott dumps controversial changes to 18C racial discrimination laws Heath Aston Published: August 5, 2014 - 7:43PM Michael Gordon: A welcomed 'leader's call'. Will there be more? The Abbott government has backed down on controversial plans to water down the Racial Discrimination Act. Prime Minister Tony Abbott said it was a ‘‘leadership call’’ to bin the proposed changes to Section 18C of the act, which had been roundly criticised by ethnic community leaders and was unpopular with the wider public. "Leadership is about preserving national unity on the essentials and that is why I have taken this position," Mr Abbott said. Mr Abbott said it ...
The scourge of small-money politics

Yahoo... The most corrupting force in politics, we are repeatedly told, is big money — super PACs, corporate lobbyists, rapacious oligarchs. And there’s plenty of evidence to support the claim. But let’s be clear: It wasn’t big money that drove Republican House members, before they left town last week, to approve the first-ever Congressional lawsuit against a sitting president, when they should have gotten serious about a pressing border crisis. And it wasn’t big money that had gleeful Democrats doing backflips in the streets at calls from the conservative fringe to impeach Barack Obama. What’s really fueling the hyperbole and dysfunction in Washington now ...

Preface: This is not a partisan issue. As shown below, Democrats are complicit in high crimes as well. President Ronald Reagan signed a treaty legally requiring the U.S. to prosecute everyone who authorizes torture. Specifically, the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (signed by the U.S. under Ronald Reagan) provides: Article 2 1. Each State Party shall take effective legislative, administrative, judicial or other measures to prevent acts of torture in any territory under its jurisdiction. 2. No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat or war, internal political instability or any other public ...

“Oxygen, get my oxygen,” the mother of four can be heard saying to the cops, as they dragged her naked body down the hallway. The Free Thought Project Matt Agorist August 3, 2014 Denise Stewart was just finishing up a shower when NYPD cops barged into her apartment. At 11:45 pm, she was yanked out of the shawer and pulled into the hallway, naked. The video shows a chaotic scene and an apparently excessive show of force by NYPD as over a dozen cops participated in the raid. Kirkland Stewart, Denise’s son, is brought into the hallway in handcuffs describing how a 4 year-old child had just been pepper sprayed. “Oxygen, get my oxygen,” the mother of four can be ...

What are the odds I would be lucky enough to see, firsthand, the same ugly sense of entitlement -- the same "get to the back of the bus" disrespect that left the struggle for equal rights an unfinished task even 100 years after the slaves were first set free - and to see all of this, no less, at an event organized to honor one of the icons of civil rights history? Most of us, at one time or another in our lives, have had a chance to meet "famous people," whether those people are from politics, entertainment or sports. Rare is the chance to meet a genuine hero up close and personal. Rarer still is the opportunity to meet a hero like Ernest Green who is an indelible ...
Obama Signs Executive Order to Detain Americans With ‘Respiratory Illnesses’

As the Ebola outbreak continues to cause concern, President Barack Obama has signed an amendment to an executive order that would allow him to mandate the apprehension and detention of Americans who merely show signs of “respiratory illness.” The executive order, titled Revised List of Quarantinable Communicable Diseases, amends executive order 13295, passed by George W. Bush in April 2003, which allows for the, “apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable diseases.” The amendment signed by Obama replaces subsection (b) of the original Bush executive order which referred ...

A Colorado woman has filed suit against her former employer and the Carbondale Police Department after she says she was taken hostage during an unannounced active shooter drill. The training exercise, which occurred last October, allegedly resulted in Michelle Meeker being held at gunpoint by a police officer disguised as a mass shooter. Meeker says she was confronted by the officer while working at the Heritage Park Care Center, an assisted living facility for senior citizens, and forced towards a vacant room. Convinced the situation was real, Meeker says she refused to enter, prompting the officer to flash a firearm on his waist. That is when Meeker says she began begging for her life, ...
Shirtless Wade McCree May Be Heading To The Supreme Court

Judge of the Millennium Wade McCree has a special place in our hearts here at Above the Law. The former Wayne County circuit judge had a penchant for disrobing for shirtless selfies and sex in his chambers, and was consequently disrobed by the Michigan Supreme Court. On Monday, the Sixth Circuit correctly (if you mean “applying the law as it currently exists,” and “incorrectly” if you mean “adopting the better policy”) held that Judge McCree is immune from a civil suit brought by a man McCree slapped with a tether and high child support payments. The man’s complaint is that while Judge McCree was coming down hard on him, Judge McCree was also coming down ...

Federal Judge to Camera-Shy Austin Cops: People Have a Right to Record You. Deal With It.

As my colleagues and I frequently note, Americans have a well-established constitutional right to record police officers as they publicly perform their duties. Yet cops across the country continue to harass and arrest people for exercising that right, using bogus charges such as wiretapping, resisting arrest, and interfering with police. Yesterday yet another federal judge issued a clear message to those cops: Cut it out. The case was brought by Antonio Buehler, an Austin, Texas, activist who has had several run-ins with camera-shy cops. The first incident occurred on January 1, 2012, when Buehler pulled into a 7-11 in Austin to refuel his truck and observed a traffic stop during which ...
Massachusetts police chiefs rally for right to control long-gun permits (!!!!!!!)

Police chiefs in Massachusetts are blasting state lawmakers for shooting down a provision that would have given them sole discretion over who can get hunting rifle or shotgun permits, regardless of criminal records. The Bay State, which has some of the nation's toughest gun laws, has long left it up to a community's top cop to sign off on handgun permits. Lawmakers were considering extending that to include the Firearms Identification Card, or FID, needed to possess long guns. But lawmakers, leery of the constitutionality of the law, which critics say can result in law-abiding citizens being denied their Second Amendment rights, have stripped a proposed bill of that provision. This ...

When our Constitution was ratified, there was no debate about the purpose of government. The words of the Declaration of Independence are clear: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men[.] The purpose of government was to secure liberty; the founders did not argue about that point. Rather, they argued about the best way to do that. Our first government was a confederation, and the mission of the men in Philadelphia was not to end that ...

The decision to enter it should be made only after a full debate by the people of this country.”—U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O.

The National Security Agency and FBI have covertly monitored the emails of prominent Muslim-Americans—including a political candidate and several civil rights activists, academics, and lawyers—under secretive procedures intended to target terrorists and foreign spies. According to documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, the list of Americans monitored by their own government includes: • Faisal Gill, a longtime Republican Party operative and one-time candidate for public office who held a top-secret security clearance and served in the Department of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush; • Asim Ghafoor, a prominent attorney who has represented ...

LIVINGSTON, IL (KTVI)– Homeland security, the US Customs and Border Patrol and other police agencies swarmed Livingston, Illinois. They all parked in the field of a grade school. The peacefulness of the town of 850 was broken by all the excitement. The law officers would not comment about their operation, even to the school superintendent and they were using the school district’s land. The site became an immediate attraction for citizens who say the officers were hospitable, inviting the kids to check out the choppers up close. A spokesman in the U.S. Attorney`s Office said he cannot confirm or deny anything about an ongoing investigation. However we could learn more about ...
Police faked 9-1-1 phone calls to warrantlessly search homes

DURHAM, NC — A dubious police tactic has come to light, in which officers used falsified information in order to gain ‘consent’ to search private properties without a warrant. Officers in Durham have apparently discovered that they can create the legal pretext for a search by lying about calls to 9-1-1 emergency services that never actually took place. The tactic is apparently legal — and commonplace — according to an officer’s sworn statements. WTVD-TV explains: A Durham police officer admitted under oath that he lied in order to gain entry to a home and to serve an outstanding warrant. During a court hearing last May, court officials say he told a District ...
Man finds FBI tracking device on car, posts online, gets visit from FBI

Alarmed and curious about what it might be, Yasir posted photos of the device online, asking members of reddit whether it was a bomb, or possibly an FBI tracking device. In a short amount of time Yasir learned that it was in fact a GPS tracking device, and it was made by a company that only sells to government agencies. Days later he was able to learn the direct source of the tracking device, when he was visited by a large group of FBI agents who had seen his posts online, and wanted their device back. When he was visited by the agents, Yasir had obvious questions about the situation. Who had planted the device on his car, and why? Was he suspected in some sort of investigation? The ...
