I Canada its somewhat different than south of the boarder. In Canada we find frustration
more than open hostility toward the police. We see in BC for example cops who have
stolen drug evidence or money or who were involved in accidents and tasering people
in certain circumstances that didn't warrant. Or the guy in Kelowna kicked in the face
while complying with orders. Then the case of the man who couldn't speak English being
murdered at Vancouver airport. I do agree this is not the majority behaving badly but the
preferential treatment is another matter. These individuals are given months off with pay
they are given a few days suspension and docked a rank or in some cases they resign
and fade away. In my opinion they should go to jail like anyone else they should receive a
criminal record like anyone else. We have kids who can't get into certain professions and
are denied jobs for having a few joints where ex cops still get their pensions while having
committed much worse offenses.
As for declaring war on cops there is no excuse for that and it has to stop I am merely pointing
out there are frustrations with some of the decisions made higher up and the honest cops
bear the brunt of the adverse actions committed by the few

Spies of Mississippi: The State-Sponsored Campaign to Defeat the Civil Rights Movement




Spies of Mississippi is a journey into the world of informants, infiltrators, and agent provocateurs in the heart of Dixie.

The film tells the story of a secret spy agency formed by the state of Mississippi to preserve segregation and maintain “the Mississippi way of life,” white supremacy, during the 1950s and ‘60s. The Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission (MSSC) evolved from a predominantly public relations agency to a full-fledged spy operation, spying on over 87,000 Americans over the course of a decade.

The Commission employed a network of investigators and informants, including African Americans, to help infiltrate some of the largest Black organizations like National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). The MSSC was granted broad powers to investigate private citizens and organizations, keep secret files, make arrests, and compel testimony for a state that, as civil rights activist Lawrence Guyot says in the film, “was committed to an apartheid system that would make South Africa blush.”

The film reveals the full scope and impact of the Commission, including its links to private white supremacist organizations, its ties to investigative agencies in other states, and even its program to bankroll the opposition to civil rights legislation in Washington D.C.

Weaving in chilling footage of Ku Klux Klan rallies and government propaganda films alongside rare images and interviews from the period, Spies of Mississippi tracks the Commission’s hidden role in many of the most important chapters of the civil rights movement, including the integration of the University of Mississippi, the assassination of Medgar Evers, and the KKK murders of three civil rights workers in 1964.


SPIES OF MISSISSIPPI

A must watch and a must buy because this type of stuff is still happening today.







"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." ~ attributed to Thomas Jefferson

You beat me to the punch.

I was about to post the same item.



One of the reasons why we have so much racial division in the USA is because the Fo卐 network foments troubles by spreading hate and lies. No surprise that right wingers here refuse to condemn this subversive treason.

The reporter and the photographer responsible for misquoting Tyrone West's sister, Tawanda Jones, at a protest rally in Washington, D.C., reporting she and others chanted "kill a cop," have been let go by Fox 45, according to two sources confirming a report that first appeared on the site FTVLive.com.


YouTube footage later showed Jones and others were chanting "We won't stop/ We can't stop/ Till killer cops/ Are in cell blocks." The station invited Jones on the air to offer an apology—albeit a botched one


But it seems there has been further fallout, as reporter Melinda Roeder and cameraman Greg McNair have been released, and news director Mike Tomko and a producer who expressed his discomfort with the story have been suspended one and two days, respectively.


An insider told FTVLive Tomko was the one who pushed doing the story. "It was found by him, assigned by him and ultimately proofed by him," the source said.


Now a person familiar with the situation tells City Paper the news director is losing control of the newsroom, with photographers threatening to stage a "sick out."


"The reporters and photogs believe Tomko sacrificed two little people to save himself," the source says.


Both Roeder and McNair are "lawyering up," the source also says.

There is no war on Police. There is a case being built using that theme to disarm the American public similar to the same case being made throughout the west. The same faux problems the same speechs the same filthy little street theatre being acted out with Holly-Woods expertise. All the little false flags to turn the tension up and mask the collapse in the turmoil.

As I had said at the time of the Garner death..... 'suspicion of selling untaxed cigarettes'......Now that's the crime of the century............... the NYPD and a majority of American Cops seem to be out of control.........






The Post, which enthusiastically championed the NYPD during this year's turmoil, portrayed this slowdown in near-apocalyptic terms—an early headline for the article above even read "Crime wave engulfs New York following execution of cops."


But the police union's phrasing—officers shouldn't make arrests "unless absolutely necessary"—begs the question:


How many unnecessary arrests was the NYPD making before now?




(The Post also noted a decline in drug arrests, but their comparison of 2013 and 2014 rates is misleading. The mayor's office announced in November that police would stop making arrests for low-level marijuana possession and issue tickets instead. Even before the slowdown began, marijuana-related arrests had declined by 61 percent.) If the NYPD can safely cut arrests by two-thirds, why haven't they done it before?


The NYPD might benefit from fewer unnecessary arrests, too. Tensions between the mayor and the police unions originally intensified after a grand jury failed to indict a NYPD officer for the chokehold death of Eric Garner during an arrest earlier this year. Garner's arrest wasn't for murder or arson or bank robbery, but on suspicion of selling untaxed cigarettes—hardly the most serious of crimes. Maybe the NYPD's new "absolutely necessary" standard for arrests would have produced a less tragic outcome for Garner then. Maybe it will for future Eric Garners too.

Does Cannuck have a clue about ANY aspect of life or ANY members who make up society? We know he advocates "slapping bitches".

Some of our posters will still blame Sharpton.

I liked this part. . .

"The pursuit ended at the intersection of Cloverdale Drive and Koblan Drive where Ms. Shields pointed her firearm at an officer.

She was taken into custody without incident or injury to her or others."

Good thing for her she wasn't a black twelve-year-old with a toy gun.

Shot and killed in the line of duty: racial demographics

This list includes a couple of victims who might not be thought of as "police officers" by the general public: one US Navy Master-at-Arms (mostly referred to as a "sailor" in the media), and one US Department of Agriculture law enforcement officer. Members of the law enforcement community consider those positions to be police officers, and I see no reason not to do likewise here. Unlike the data source, this list does not include Michael J. Seversen; although he died in 2014 of the complications of a gunshot wound received while serving as a police officer, that shooting occurred in 1991.

The US Census Bureau estimates that, as of 2013, 13.2% of the US population is black (although a 12% figure, presumably from a different source, is widely cited). Nine of the shooters -- 23.7% -- were black. Even considering the margin of error associated with small sample sizes (5-6% for the given data), it does appear that blacks were somewhat more likely to fatally shoot police officers this year than would be expected by pure racial demographics alone. Still, this is far below the ratio of blacks in the prison population: the Federal Bureau of Prisons currently shows a staggering 37.4% of the prison population is black.
Note: the list didn't format well in the copy & Paste......see it better in the link
Note: If you count the last two in December that would change the 23.7% somehat......
