Trial starts for the cops who killed the guy looking for help after a car accident. I'm guessing he gets off. They are literally using the line "He's coming right for us!"

From a very interesting article in the New Yorker about the cop who murdered Michael Brown.
A recent survey by the Police Executive Research Forum revealed that cadets usually receive fifty-eight hours of training in firearms, forty-nine in defensive tactics, ten in communication skills, and eight in de-escalation tactics.

Nice read. So Wilson's living off a 500k donation while continuing to adhere to the 'up by the bootstraps' mentality despite the fact that he hasn't figured out a legal and reliable way to earn a living despite 15 years of being eligible to do so. Makes sense...
construction - failure
police work - failure
freeloading - TBD, funds limited
"On February 27, 2014, he stopped a twenty-three-year-old black man named Aaron Simmons, outside a minimart. In the police report, Wilson remarks that the minimart was known as a place where drugs were sold. He also mentions that it was cold outside, and that while patrolling he had seen Simmons four times “in this area.” Wilson reports that, for his own safety, he told Simmons to remove his hands from his pockets. Simmons objected: it was freezing, and his pockets were empty. Wilson forcibly removed Simmons’s “hands from his pants, during which Simmons actively resisted my control.” Wilson then requested Simmons to place his hands against the police car, so that he could be searched for weapons. When Simmons refused, Wilson arrested him for failure to comply. The report does not say that Simmons possessed anything illegal. During the arrest process, Wilson notes, he and Simmons had several physical confrontations, including one, at the police station, in which “Simmons was pushed against the wall.”
"I showed the four reports to Erin Murphy, an N.Y.U. law professor who studies Fourth Amendment issues. Murphy said that, in the case of Simmons, there was no legitimate reason for detaining him. "
^ this is the same bs Darren Wilson chides other officers over in the personal interview. Only difference is this case is in his record, and he can't change the narrative.

Kentucky sheriff's department sued over handcuffing of eight-year-old boy
"In a second incident, the lawsuit also describes the handcuffing of a girl aged nine by the same deputy sheriff on two occasions around her biceps as punishment for behavior related to her special needs."
Found this interesting. Don't agree with some rulings in SLC on deadly force but have to give some credit for the policy change. This case looks justified. Few relevant things, nobody died, witnesses align with police version, and the cop shot twice rather than 10+ as is often the case.

Quote:
Because of a new law passed by the Utah Legislature calling for more transparency and not allowing law enforcement agencies to investigate their own officers in use of deadly force situations, the shooting investigation for this incident was handled by the Unified Police Department who then handed their report over to the district attorney's office.

I hope this story gets some traction.
"Police decline to release video of shooting of unarmed teen during marijuana bust. Police allegedly planted evidence and high-fived the dead victim."
The cops shoot and kill a 19 year old for having 10 grams or so of pot on him. He was shot and killed in his car. Cop claimed he feared for his life as the driver was driving at him. Parents have their own autopsy done that shows the kid was shot through his open window, in his back. Now a witness claims he saw what happened and the cops refuse to release the dashcam video....
"The denial under the state’s open records act comes amid new allegations from a witness who said a Seneca officer placed something underneath the body of Zachary Hammond, 19, immediately after the shooting.
Quoting a letter from Hammond’s attorney to the FBI, FOX Carolina 21 in Greenville reported that a witness saw an officer pull Hammond’s body from the car and go to the trunk of his police cruiser to pull something out. The officer then reportedly returned to Hammond’s body, rolled it on the side, placed the object under his body, and then rolled it back.
Hammond’s attorneys also wrote that the witness stated that “After Zachary had been shot and killed, members of the Seneca Police Department lifted his dead hand and ‘high fived’ Zachary Hammond,” the television station reported."

So basically the dude gets shot (justifiably) and then put in handcuffs. Another cop comes around the corner and the guy, who is lying there with bullet wounds, gets smart with him, so the cop shoots him in the nuts.

^This story should pick up again now that the girl sitting next to the kid killed is telling her side of the story. Not surprisingly, it's different than the cops acoounts. Interesting side note, rumors going around that the girl was possibly involved with police chiefs son getting in trouble?Quote:

Wonder how the officer deals with his own kids when they're defiant. CPS needs to look into that.
14yo Ahmet Mohamed gets arrested for building a digital clock - 'inventing while Muslim'
Handcuffed "for his safety" and questioned for an hour-plus without his parents or legal counsel, because he would only tell police "it's a clock"
http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/16/us/tex...im-clock-bomb/
Happily, this situation ended with Ahmed getting offers to visit MIT & White House, plus internship offers with several tech companies.
I love that the bumbling incompetence of the school admins/teacher and the rediculous overbearing power hungry cops all have egg on their faces. It's cool for the kid to get an invite to the whitehouse but kind of ironic that this culture has been created by our government and then Obama wants to pat the kid on the back. The problem with suing the school and suing the police department is that neither of them will suffer monetarily. It's the tax payers that will get hit, but in this case I really hope they aggressively sue the shit out of both.

First time ive seen contempt of cop in an article, cop should have a few felonies and a rap sheet himself by now. Thinks he is the law.Quote:

Yeah it doesnt seem that he actually "invented the clock," just that he dismantled something and put it back together in a box.Quote:

I'm not sure that he should have been arrested, but he's getting a lot of praise for "inventing" when he has not invented anything.
^^^ That article should get a gold medal for jumping to conclusions. I have a hard time believing the kid merely disassembled a perfectly good 30yo digital clock, reassembled it in a pencil box then tried to pass it off as some great invention.
From what I heard on NPR Fri eve, the kid bought the components from Radio Shack.
Regardless, the school and police way overeacted

Certainly a different perspective.
