Cops Admit They Got The Wrong Guy; Discuss Framing Him, Then Arrest Him For No Reason

Via Jeffery

When cops make mistakes, people get hurt. When cops make mistakes people can have their lives ruined. An arrest on your record can prevent you from passing a security clearance or being hired to a job, even if that arrest was erroneous. Here is a case of literal mistaken identity. The cops had the wrong guy and give him about half a second to comply to their rousting orders. When the man doesn’t immediately do exactly what they tell him to do, they taser him, throw him to the ground and cuff him. Then when they check his identification and find out it is their mistake and they had no reason to stop the man in the first place, they arrest him for resisting arrest. In what other job can you make a mistake, assault an innocent man, then charge that innocent man with a crime in an incident that occurred entirely because of your mistake?

"My kids used to love math. Now it makes them cry. Thanks standardized testing and common core!”

fLouis C.K. is busy promoting the new season of Louie (which premieres on Monday, May 5th), and he’s also taking advantage of the increased media attention to slam the frenzy of standardized testing that NYC public school students must endure.

 Last night, while appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman, the C.K. explained, “The way I understand it, if a school’s kids don’t test well, they burn the school down. So it’s pretty high pressure.” Earlier in the week, C.K. blasted the questions his daughters—ages 9 and 12—are facing, Tweeting photographs of the problems, “My kids used to love math. Now it makes them cry. Thanks standardized testing and common core!” He also took the time to reply, via Twitter, to people who think he’s wrong (all while maintaining his support for public school teachers).

The Socialist and the Southern Belle

 

Did you see the movie Midnight in Paris? It’s a romantic comedy splashed with fantasy. That fantasy begins one midnight when Gil Pender, played to the hilt by Owen Wilson, is whisked back in time to 1920s Paris. On a deserted, cobblestone street, a vintage Peugeot creeps to a stop, a door opens, and a gloved hand bids him enter. He does. Once inside, he discovers he’s in the presence of some of the 20th Century’s greatest writers and artists.

But what if you were whisked back in time? Imagine a balmy summer’s eve on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Gentle waves lap the shore. Ribbons of silvery moonlight dance across the water. Suddenly, out of the dark, you hear the clip-clop of horse hoofs. An elegant carriage approaches. You hear laughter as it glides to a stop. Riding in it are a distinguished gentleman and a beautiful lady dressed in the latest haute couture fashions. They smile, introduce themselves, and you discover you’re in the presence of Upton Sinclair and his Southern belle wife, Mary Kimbrough Sinclair. It’s August, 1915. Europe has descended into the madness of WWI, but your night of fantasy with the Sinclairs has begun.

'They Watched Them Die' : Father of SEAL Killed in Benghazi Attacks: White House 'Watched This Battle Happen'

Via avordvet

  

The father of Ty Woods, a Navy SEAL who was killed in the September 11, 2012 terror attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, is speaking out on the latest revelations on the alleged White House cover-up in the wake of the tragedy.

"The people of the United States as well as the families need to know what actually happened," Charles Woods told Sean Hannity. He called the select congressional committee "an answer to prayer."

Charles Woods called the newly released emails a "smoking gun," and said that a failure in the Obama administration's foreign policy directly led to the death of his son and three other Americans.
Woods told Hannity he believed he'd been lied to repeatedly. "Hillary Clinton came up to me and I gave her a handshake and a hug, and when I shook her hand she said to me, 'We are going to have the filmmaker arrested.' Even at that time she was trying to place a spin on what happened."
"It wasn't the result of a video," Woods said.

12.3%: ‘Total Unemployed’ Rate in USA

 

While the national unemployment rate declined from 6.7% in March to 6.3% in April, the rate for total unemployed workers in America, what the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calls the U-6 Measure, was 12.3% in April.

That 12.3% rate refers to “total unemployed,” says the BLS, and this includes the unemployed “plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force.”

Republican calls out reporter, gets kicked out the door

An Oregan Republican candidate for U.S. Senate is getting a lot of valuable free name recognition after a video of his highly unsuccessful endorsement interview with a Portland alternative newspaper has gone viral.

Mark Callahan recently joined other Senate candidates, hoping to win the chance to unseat Democrat incumbent Jeff Merkley, at the offices of the Willamette Week to, in the paper’s words, “explore questions that we think matter most to our readers.”

Oregon’s primary election is May 20.

As one of Callahan’s opponents, Republican Joe Rae Perkins – who was not present at the meeting but responding to questions by speaker phone – was answering a question, Callahan noticed a Willamette Weekly reporter, Nigel Jaquiss, writing “blah blah blah blah blah” on his notepad, and he confronted Jaquiss.

“You want to talk about disrespect? I see what you’re writing down there. You just wrote down ‘blah blah blah blah blah’ for everything that Joe Rae said. Joe Rae is a respectable woman. Why are you not respecting her by writing ‘blah blah blah blah blah’ on your notepad?” said an agitated Callahan, pointing his finger across the table.

North Korea Testing Engine for ICBM That Could Reach US

North Korea has recently conducted engine tests for an intercontinental ballistic missile that could potentially deliver a nuclear warhead to the United States, a U.S. think tank said on Friday.

North Korea conducted at least one engine test for the KN-08 missile in late March or early April, the think tank 38 North said, marking the latest in a series of tests for a missile believed to have a range of more than 6,000 miles.

Following the engine tests, the next stage for North Korea would be a test launch of the missile, according to 38 North, which is affiliated with Johns Hopkins University's U.S.-Korea Institute.

"As this effort progresses, the next technically logical step in the missile's development would be a flight test of the entire system," 38 North said in its report.

Commercial satellite imagery indicates movement and removal of missile stages and fuel tanks as well as changes in the flame trench that point to North Korea having conducted one or more tests in the two-week period from March 22, the report said.

South Korea's defense ministry declined to confirm the specifics of the report citing intelligence policy but said a long-range missile launch by the North could not be ruled out.

"It's not easy to conduct a long-range rocket launch right after a engine test but they may have had other things prepared," ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said.

KSP will not investigate fatal officer-involved shooting request by Sheriff's Department

Via Jeffery

Family and friends of 19-year-old Samantha Ramsey are overcome with grief — and demanding answers — after a cop fired four shots into a car the teen was driving. Ramsey was struck by one of the bullets and died on scene.

Dashcam footage shows the encounter seconds before Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Brockman fired four shots into a car full of teenagers. Brockman was standing on the highway in front of his vehicle as Ramsey slowly pulled her vehicle in front of him. He shined his flashlight into her face and appeared to signal her to stop the car, but she continues moving the vehicle out of dashcam view. Seconds later, Brockman fired four shots, causing the car to careen into a ditch, according to Fox 19.

Two passengers exited the vehicle. The driver, Ramsey, had been shot. She was taken away in an ambulance, but had died on scene, according to The Huffington Post.

Virginia Flaggers VMFA Update 5-1-2014

Like it has been for many of you, April has been an INCREDIBLY busy month for the Va Flaggers.  In spite of attending numerous Memorial Service and Confederate History and Heritage Month activities, the Va Flaggers actually STEPPED UP our flaggings at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, flagging THREE times a week in most of the weeks in April.

The milder weather has brought out plenty of foot traffic and lots of new opportunities to educate residents, tourists, and museum visitors.
