Re: Cops 2: Pay No Attention to the Rioters Behind the Curtain

Turns out the Fox Lake, IL officer who was shot and killed while pursuing three suspects ... actually staged his suicide to appear as if he was shot in the line of duty in order to cover up his almost decade long misuse of funds from the junior police officer club he ran.

He was taking funds from the Explorer program and using it to pay his mortgage, trips, and hobbies. Now the investigation swings around on his wife and son and how they were aware of the misuse of funds and contributed to the fraud.

Here's an interesting interaction between a black woman who's a journalism professor at the University of North Texas and Corinth police, a wealthy Dallas suburb. Miss Bland was stopped while walking down along the right side of the street after the police followed her for some 20 seconds without her noticing them until they flashed their lights. The street has sidewalks on both sides, plainly visible within the video provided within the link.

When growing up (around 10 years old or so), I remember being stopped for the same exact thing, except I wasn't wearing a hoodie to disrupt my peripheral vision, and I wasn't wearing headphones to keep me from hearing traffic and they weren't behind me for 20 seconds as I turned my head and saw them approach me immediately. The officers who stopped me told me to either walk on the left side of the street so that I could see oncoming traffic or to do the truly safe thing and use the sidewalks. Then they gave me some Vikings trading cards.

Racism? By whom? This video of Texas cops stopping a black professor is a racial ‘Rorschach test’ (link chalk full of more details and insights)

An obvious case of racism. You got trading cards and she didn't. Congratulations on being white.

Not sure if this is more Cop or Florida.

Officer Michael Szeliga of the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department showed up to a Mothers Against Drunk Driving conference in Fort Lauderdale so drunk that he could not even walk straight.

Szeliga was scheduled to receive an award at the conference, for making over 100 DUI arrests, but he actually showed up drunk himself, and it is assumed that he drove himself to the conference in that state.

Did somebody chop that pony's front hooves off?

FWIW, if you ever want to know why people respect the NYTimes and not the American Conservative or most of the rest of the rightwing blogosphere, reading those two articles would be a prime example. They attempt to convey the exact same information, one's just written 100x's more professionally than the other.

Not a 1st amendment issue, but rather the 9th. One person's freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution cannot be used to displace another person's freedoms. This is the basis behind the RIght to Refuse Service laws.
