There’s only one ethical quandary in punching a nazi: can you get away with it? 

[bluelivesmatter]

Federal law enforcement officials have acknowledged in the last year a lack of reliable data about how often police officers use force in the line of duty. Former Attorney General Eric Holder urged better record-keeping in a speech this year, calling it a matter of “common sense,” and Comey has expressed frustration publicly with the absence of nationwide data following the Ferguson, Missouri shooting in August 2014.

As part of its Uniform Crime Reporting program, the FBI tracks the number of police officers who are slain, as well as the number of justifiable homicides by police that are reported by law enforcement agencies. But those records are known to be incomplete since it is voluntary for police departments to feed data into the FBI’s system, and little more than a third of local agencies do it, Comey said.

Comey on Monday encouraged every agency to submit the data to give the public a more complete picture. The FBI intends to collect more information about nonfatal shootings by police of civilians, including the facts and circumstances of each incident and who was involved, Comey said.

Once the information is collected, the FBI will produce a special publication that chronicles police use of force.

“We hope this information will become part of a balanced dialogue in communities and in the media — a dialogue that will help to dispel misperceptions, foster accountability and promote transparency in how law enforcement personnel relate to the communities they serve,” Comey wrote in a special “Message from the Director” that accompanies the release of crime data from 2014.

The latest data shows that the number of violent crimes reported in 2014 dropped by 0.2 percent when compared with 2013. The report shows that an estimated 1,165,383 violent crimes — including murders, robberies and rapes — were reported by law enforcement last year. The estimated number of property crimes dropped 4.3 percent from 2013 levels, according to the report.

The report also includes arrest data for hate crimes, criminal cyber breaches and human trafficking.

GRAPHIC: Debunking The ‘War On Police’

Conservative politicians and commentators are claiming that a recent spate of cop killings means police officers are being “hunted” thanks to the rhetoric of the Black Lives Matter movement, which criticizes racist policing. One cop even faked his own shooting amid the hubbub, triggering a city-wide manhunt. But despite the fearmongering headlines, the historical trend shows otherwise.

[bluelivesmatter]

I wonder how the “Blue Lives Matter” crowd feel about this. 12 police officers who risk their lives every day to protect us are being punished for refusing to be racist. 

Oops. I forgot. They don’t really care about appreciating people who keep us safe. They just want to defend the ruling class.

Just because a person has on a uniform does not give him the right to come and shoot up your neighborhood. No, this is not right, and my suggestion would be that as long as the police department doesn’t use those methods in white neighborhoods, they shouldn’t come to Harlem and use them in our neighborhood. I’d rather be dead than let someone walk around my house or in my neighborhood shooting it up, where my children are in the line of fire. Either they’d die or I’d die. It’s not intelligent, and it all started when a little boy was shot by a policeman, and he was turned loose, the same as the sheriff was turned loose in Mississippi when he killed the three civil rights workers. I hope you don’t misunderstand me when I say that…and I’m not advocating anything illegal against the police. I know good policemen, and I know bad policemen. I know policemen that bend over backwards to be human, and to protect other humans and to treat people as if they are human beings. Then I know others who shouldn’t be on the force. They’re not qualified, morally…even mentally. http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/

A Louisiana police officer has been fired for attending a KKK rally

A Lake Arthur, Louisiana, detective was fired Wednesday after Facebook photos surfaced of him attending a Ku Klux Klan rally in North Carolina last summer. KATC reports the officer, Raymond Mott, is now threatening to “take legal action” against the town as he feels he was wronged.

The number of signs that Albuquerque Police Lieutenant Greg Brachle ignored or didn’t see before putting nine .45-caliber bullets into his fellow officer’s body are simply staggering.

There was the fact that Brachle knew Detective Jacob Grant was involved in a drug buy last January, a sting the superior officer walked up on while Grant sat in an undercover police car. There were Grant’s clothes, an outfit specially worn according to a safety protocol to prevent friendly fire incidents. Even Grant’s position in the car—behind another undercover narcotics agent in the driver’s seat—was to signal to other officers that the two men were cops.

But most damning—and the most confusing part of it all—is that Brachle and Grant were well-known to each other. For nearly two years, they worked in the narcotics division of the department.

The lieutenant and the detective had “substantial, frequent, and almost daily interactions with each other,” said the civil lawsuit filed last week against the city of Albuquerque and the police department.

Even if Grant wasn’t a cop, Brachle’s alleged zealousness to fire on a suspect presenting no apparent threat would be disturbing.

Brachle first put two bullets into Grant’s torso at point-blank range. The detective’s body slumped over in the back seat. Brachle then fired seven more times as Grant tried to crawl away.

“Please stop shooting,” the detective pleaded as the lieutenant kept firing.

The damage was substantial: Almost all of Grant’s vital organs were struck and he lost 80 percent of his blood that day, nearly dying. After several surgeries, Grant can expect a lifetime of more medical work and costs to recover.

The lawsuit filed by Grant’s lawyer says not only did Brachle ignore training, protocol, and all manner of common sense while firing on his fellow officer, but he also violated Grant’s constitutional rights by using an excessive amount of lethal force.

The same charge can be found in just about every lawsuit filed by people shot by police.

These killings of white people are tragic and inexcusable. That should be said without equivocation. But after I affirmed this same fact to my old friend, I asked him, “What would make you think I think otherwise?” That same night on CNN, I watched Dr. Marc Lamont Hill debate the Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke, also an African American man. The chief was there to affirm remarks made by Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman about how “anti-cop” rhetoric from the Black Lives Matter Movement had led to the killing of Deputy Goforth. Sheriff Clarke pointed to the killing of Officers Liu and Ramos in New York last year and the killing of Deputy Goforth, proclaiming it a “pattern.”

How is it that two mentally ill Black men targeting police officers constitutes a pattern, but the killing of Walter Scott, the killing of Samuel Dubose, and the killing of Jonathan Ferrell, all by police while they were clearly unarmed and committing no crimes, add up to a collection of unrelated, isolated incidents? How is it that the random acts of two mentally unstable Black men who had no formal or informal relationship with the Black Lives Matter movement constitute a trend, but the two dozen police killings of unarmed Black citizens again remain a collection of unfortunate but isolated incidents?

Black Lives Matter has been demonized following the unrelated murder of a police officer. Here’s why

When a police officer shoots another police officer in an undercover drug bust, what is the response from the “Blue Lives Matter” crowd?

Stop the police from being trigger-happy.

End the war on drugs.

Nothing, because the “Blue Lives Matter” crowd do not actually care about police officers’ safety, but about silencing anyone who complains about police brutality.

AY MILEY WHAT’S GOOD!!!

There’s been a lot of talk about gun control lately and I would like to remind folks of an excellent place to start that is not often mentioned: Disarming the cops.

Police don’t actually matter, not when they’re juxtaposed against larger issues.
