South Florida Cops Convicted of Questionable Felonies After Whistleblowing Complaint

Via avordvet

Every day we read stories of cops gone bad, abusing the power of their badge, only to get free passes from their superiors, leaving us wondering why don’t the good cops, if there are any, ever speak up.

But if we look a little deeper, we will realize that those cops who do speak up end up getting retaliated against, their lives turned into a living hell, resulting in termination, hospitalization and even incarceration.


Police call it the Blue Code of Silence, that unwritten rule that you turn the other way when you see an officer abuse his power. Not much different than Omerta, the deadly code of silence within the mafia.

'Anti-Gay': Entertainment Weekly Attacks 'Duck Dynasty' Star's Christian Faith

 

One of the most sinister movements in the mainstream media is the labeling of Christian beliefs as de facto bigotry, or anti-gay. It is baseless, it is anti-Christian bigotry disguised as tolerance, it is a smear, and it is a form of McCarthyism. And this is exactly what Entertainment Weekly is doing to one of the stars of the wildly popular (and Christian-themed) "Duck Dynasty."

Absolutely nothing "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson said here even comes close to bigotry, unless you want to claim that he is also bigoted against heterosexuals:

Mandela's legacy: The freefall of South Africa

 

Rapes, murders, disease, corruption, poverty, communism rampant – and maybe genocide

The horror stories about life in South Africa under apartheid are endless, of course, and the fall of that morally repugnant political system is universally hailed as a triumph.

But two decades after the white-led government relinquished power, and especially in the afterglow of worldwide praise for the nation’s former president Nelson Mandela after his passing at age 95, an objective look at South Africa today is very disturbing.

In fact, even among the harshest critics of apartheid and racial oppression, there is an acknowledgement that in many ways the “rainbow nation,” under African National Congress and South African Communist Party rule, is heading downhill.

Fast.

A Kachin Independence Army (KIA) officer displays a Kachin-made K011 assault rifle modelled after the Kalashnikov AK-47 at a mountain outpost of Laisin, Kachin State on January 27, 2012. The Kachin have produced at least three variants of the rifle to serve as a standard assault rifle, a sniper rifle (fitted with telescopic sights) and as a grenade launcher. Conflict between the Burmese Army and the KIA resumed on June 9, 2011, after seventeen years of ceasefire.

Bus passengers fight back against armed robber

Via Nancy

WDAM.COM - TV 7 - News, Weather and Sports

 Newly-released surveillance video shows a violent confrontation on a Seattle bus last month.

A man was robbing passengers at gunpoint - until they decided to fight back and stop the suspect cold.

"It's the bus I take home every day," said Chris Briggs. But one evening his commute home became unforgettable.

Police say 19-year-old Trevonnte Brown was robbing passengers at gunpoint.

Briggs says that's the man who robbed him, just moments after pulling a gun on a woman - and shortly before a scuffle.

"Then he came up to me and stuck the gun at me and took my phone," Briggs said.
At first Briggs said no.
