Officer shot his neighbor, DA says, then waited to call 911 — and lied about what happened
New York’s Finest.
Looks a lot like he accidentally shot his friend and thought it was better to let him die then fess up.
Huh. Guess I missed that part of the Bill of Rights.
“These rights shall not exist within 1000 feet of any border with a foreign nation or airport.”
1000 feet? More like 528,000 feet.
Second sentence in the article:
A bit further down:
Call me paranoid, but I suspect they didn’t care whether he was Muslim, Orthodox, Coptic, Unitarian or a 6th-generation atheist.
Note that the 10-mile zone includes any possible point of entry, so not only land borders but also airports and, depending on who has the more expensive lawyer, the whole coast. That’s a damn big chunk of territory; in fact, wouldn’t lots of small, inhabited islands be within that zone?
Not a 10 mile zone, a 100 mile zone that includes 65% of all Americans.
Greyhound busses in Maine and New Hampshire driving purely domestic routes are being raided by CBP and anyone who “looked like they could be an immigrant” were asked for document checks.
Hell, it includes the entirety of the state of Florida. The entire state. That is utterly ridiculous.
Not sure this is posted anywhere else, but a cop shot a teen fleeing because he was reaching for his waistband. This happened back in 2017 and was ruled a justified shooting. Video has now been released. Yeah, he was reaching for his waistband…to pull up his pants…as he ran away. Yet another cold-blooded execution at the hands of a cop.
I don’t understand the withholding of the video. The police had to know what it showed. And if they did, why the hell would they give it to the lawyer? I mean, I’m glad they did, but it doesn’t make any sense.
This is something everyone should be writing their congressman about. Border patrol should be patrolling the border, not miles or a freakin’ hundred miles from it!
Spokane, WA is about 90 miles from the Canadian border. Border patrol has caused issues at the bus station:
Spokane is a white city. This is just a case of “you don’t look like you’re from around these parts”. What border do you think Andres Sosa Segura might’ve crossed? The northern border? :mad:
The underlying idea makes sense. Suppose you have a section of border in wilderness that’s difficult to access; say, the right angle of the US-Mexico border east of Antelope Wells, or any number of spots around northeastern Minnesota/Ontario. Having CBP back off and protect the border from someplace more accessible, where border-crosses would inevitably have to go, is logical - and if held to only logical places, would not infringe on civil rights.
The problem is it’s NOT being held to only logical places.
Police were called when a California man with mental health issues, crying out for help, doused himself in flammable liquid and refused to drop a lighter that he was holding.
The responding officer’s solution? Hit him with a stun gun.
Nice going, genius! The stun gun ignited the liquid, ensuring the very outcome that the police were called to prevent, and the man is now in hospital with burns to 70 percent of his body.
Yes, but it was LESS lethal force. See?
The officer is being investigated for excessive use of force because, unfortunately, there are no laws on the books concerning excessive use of stupidity.

Somebody who works for the California Department of Corrections thought it would be appropriate to hang a Nazi flag in their office window where it could be seen by the passing public.
The department says the person is a Person of Color who is not a white supremacist, but just showed bad judgement
Guy steals wallet and belt from Walmart.
Police pursue and cause 100s of thousands of dollars of damage to an innocent bystander’s home. Apparently, it’s in bad form to let your gear go to waste when a store could be out… $50? Maybe? (it’s Walmart - so I’m guessing it’s not that much money) The grenades could pass their “use by” date.
They offer the homeowner (who had nothing to do with anything other than choosing to live somewhat close to a Walmart) $5K. Court says “yes, sucks to be you.”
The land of the free, and the [del]home[/del] . . .
scratch that – the home was blown up for free.
What a shithole country.
G4S spread security guards and guns around world. Then came violence
Amazing that we pay people as low as $9.25 per hour and give them a gun. WTF?!?
I’ve never, nor will I ever, understand how companies that hire a contractor to perform services stick up for that contractor? I’ve seen it up and down the government spectrum and now with commercial companies. I just don’t get it.
So the police have zero accountability. For anything it seems. Wow. It really is a racket.
