When Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination on July 13, he peppered his 34-minute speech with a laundry list of deeply conservative policy prescriptions. Among them was a requirement — much like the one in the state budget he signed less than 24 hours before the event — that welfare recipients pass a drug test before collecting public assistance benefits….
…The results are thin: According to USA Today, more than 87,000 welfare recipients went through Arizona’s program in the three years after it began. The total number of drug cheats caught was exactly one — a single positive result, which saved the state precisely $560.
Checking in again in March, the Arizona Sonora News Service cited state Department of Economic Security figures which found that over the course of more than five years, “42 people have been asked to take a follow-up drug test and 19 actually took the test, 16 of whom passed. The other 23 were stripped of their benefits for failing to take the drug test.”
That adds up to a grand total of three failed tests from 2009-2014. The net savings reaped from withholding benefits for those who either tested positive or failed to complete a drug test was around $3,500, once the $500 cost of testing the 19 is factored in, according to one state agency report. The haul is especially unimpressive when you consider the $1.7 million in savings state officials promised when they unveiled the program.
Lesson learned? Not quite.
Since Arizona enacted its drug testing programs, at least six more states have implemented similar measures. In 2012, Utah began its own, which, according to the Daily Beast, nabbed 12 of 466 people tested at a cost to the state of $25,000.
Earlier this year, a report on Tennessee’s program found that 37 out of 16,017 tested had failed — precisely 0.23% of recipients. In Florida, where the practice has been repeatedly challenged in the courts, Republican Gov. Rick Scott announced in March that he would not submit any further appeals on behalf of a law ruled unconstitutional by two federal courts. In rejecting the state’s claim in December 2014, the justices for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals found that during the nearly four months the law was in effect, “4,046 applicants submitted to drug testing. Only 108 — 2.67% — tested positive for drug use.”
But there’s a problem: the handshake never happened. There was talk of the leaders meeting in person in 2013, but that meeting never materialized, as was widely reported at the time.
Restoration PAC spokesman Dan Curry said the image was widely circulated on the Internet, so the organization didn’t realize it was forged.”

‘Louisiana Gunman Hated Feminists, Liberals’ http://www.alan.com/2015/07/25/louisiana-gunman-hated-feminists-liberals/
“The 59-year-old gunman suspected of killing three people, including himself, inside a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, on Thursday night was “kind of a drifter,” said Police Chief Jim Craft.
Authorities have identified the suspect as John Russell Houser, a white male who previously resided in Phenix City, Alabama, and had been living in Lafayette since early July. A page on the Tea Party Nation website was registered by a man with that name in June 2013. He also was a commenter on PoliticalForum.com, where he wrote about disliking liberals, the collapse of the United States and President Barack Obama.
Calvin Floyd, the former host of a talk show on WLTZ NBC 38, called him a “radical Republican,” who was anti-abortion and anti-feminist, The Washington Post reported. Another host, Doug Kellet of TalkLine in Columbus, Georgia, said Houser also spoke about anti-tax issues, according to the Post.
“He seems to be estranged from his family,” Craft told reporters at a news conference on Friday morning. “He just kind of seemed like he was drifting alone.”

In an incredible show of hubris, Walker told John Harmon, guest host of On Point Radio (link is external), as he has in prior interviews, that he would “terminate the deal on day one” and added “but I wouldn’t wait for the first day, I would be on the phone on the day after the election working with our allies around the world because this is not only a long-term threat, they are a short-term threat, certainly to Israel.”
If Walker hadn’t dropped out of college perhaps he would have learned about the Logan Act which prohibits private citizens from meddling in foreign affairs. A violation of the act is a felony.

Michael Moore stealth Film, a new one called ‘Where To Invade Next’
I can’t wait ❗
It’s a “stealth” film announced at the Toronto Film Festival ~ http://www.showbiz411.com/2015/07/28/michael-moore-surprises-with-new-stealth-film-to-be-launched-at-toronto-film-fest
“Moore’s been shooting on the sly– (I wondered why he’d been so quiet lately.) Moore’s film is definitely timed to current events, although I think his work is getting more anecdotally interesting than headline making. But we’ll see come September. This is going to be the hottest ticket in Toronto, by far.
The doc will explore the military industrial complex, a subject no one can be tired of and is always eye opening no matter what your political affiliation.
Moore is the winner of the 2003 Best Documentary Oscar for “Bowling for Columbine,” a movie that reverberates now as every week we hear about another mass shooting somewhere. His other hit documentaries with lasting impact include “Fahrenheit 911,” “Sicko” and “Roger and Me.”
Watch Trailer… http://variety.com/2015/film/festivals/where-to-invade-next-michael-moore-watch-1201550070/
““(There’s) this constant need it seems to always have an enemy — where’s the next enemy so we can keep this whole military industrial complex alive, and keep the companies that make a lot of money from this in business?” Moore said of the inspiration for the film, which was filmed across three continents. “I’ve always been a little bothered by that, so that’s where the comedy comes from.”
“The issue of the United States at infinite war is something that has concerned me for quite some time, and provides the necessary satire for this film,” he went on….”

White cop murders unarmed driver(head shot) who just so happens to be a black man. How? During a routine traffic stop. And guess what the white cop did? Yup, he lied in his police report. 😮
Watch Video
Thankfully a Cincinnati grand jury indicted a white Cincinnati, Ohio police officer who shot an unarmed black man(Samuel Dubose) in the head during a routine traffic stop earlier this month. http://www.10news.com/news/local-news/watch-body-cam-video-released-in-sam-dubose-shooting
Published on Jul 29, 2015
“WARNING: The video above may be too graphic for some viewers. Watch with discretion.
CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing’s body camera video clearly shows that he committed “murder” when he shot and killed an unarmed black motorist at a traffic stop earlier this month, prosecutor Joe Deters said Wednesday.
The shocking video shows Tensing grab the outside door latch on 43-year-old Sam DuBose’s car on July 19 after DuBose couldn’t produce a driver’s license.
Tensing tells DuBose to take his seat belt off. As Tensiing pulls the door open a few inches, DuBose pulls it closed and says, “I didn’t do nothing, man.”
DuBose turns the key and revs the engine,
Tensing pulls his gun, shouts, “Stop! Stop!” and shoots DuBose in the head through the open window.
Showing the video publicly for the first time, Deters called it an “asinine, senseless shooting,” and announced that a grand jury had indicted Tensing for murder.
Deters said the video refutes Tensing’s claim that DuBose pulled away from the stop and dragged him with his car.
“I think he (Tensing) lost his temper because Mr. DuBose would not get out of his car. He wasn’t dragged. When you see it, you will not believe how quickly he pulled his gun and shot him in the head,” Deters said at a 1 p.m. news conference.
“He was simply, slowly rolling away. That’s it,” Deters said.
“I was senseless. It didn’t have to happen,” Deters said, adding that Tensing should have never stopped DuBose for not having a front license plate.
“It was a chicken-s— stop,” Deters said.”

“Three military lawyers are dead.”
Well… it’s a start.
On the shooting…
Police have taken militarization to heart. This was not racism. This was a cop trained in expectations of 100% instant compliance in both thought and action… as well as the current officer safety mindset that sees everyone in every situation as a potential threat… with preemptive violence as an officially sanctioned option.
Some poor ignorant negro was not aware of this dynamic and did not realize the increasing danger he put himself in at every step of the quietly escalating interaction… evasive answers, open denial and defiance, overly active hands moving in and out of places unseen, open alcohol container, and finally an escape attempt… which cops not only see as insulting but are trained to perceive as a threat… especially when they hold on to the car.
Of course it is easier to scream racism of a single cop than question if the police as an organization, with encouragement from the government, has become thuggish in their interactions with citizens… or if maybe blacks should have reasonable courtesy and behavior when dealing with cops (or anyone).
Is there one shooting yet of an “unarmed black man” (UBM) where the UBM didn’t start out full of shucking and jiving shyt and finish up violently resisting reasonable requests in some way?
And, with overwhelming force rather than proportional response being police doctrine, this is what happens.
But… let’s cry racism and move on.

1. The ratio of white cops to black criminals FAR exceeds the ratio of black cops to white criminals.
2. Rather generally speaking, blacks have poorer attitudes when dealing with authority than whites or Latinos… who are frequently more polite and compliant… though there are plenty of videos where whitey mouths off to cops and gets a beatdown… or a bullet when they become violent or semi-threatening. Whitey just doesn’t fukk around with cops as much as darkie does.
3. Are you sure he should not have been pulled over? Ohio requires a front plate. His car had no front plate. This is a reason to pull someone over. Evasive answers, nervous actions, open containers, unusual hand movements… those are all signs cops look for when determining if the situation requires further attention. Slamming the door, refusing to get out, and trying to drive off seal the deal. As there was no violence toward the cop (unlike some other shootings) and he did not appear to be a fleeing felon posing a danger to others, the cop should not have shot the guy… but remember, the REAL issue here is cops being trained to see everything as a threat and use overwhelming force to stop it… with the old, “What if he drove off and hit a kid” kind of thinking being drilled into their heads.
As long as it is Racist White Cops shooting Unarmed Black Men, nothing will change. Cops will still be trained to take total control of the situation and blacks will continue to show all the signs they are a potential threat.
Hyun-ah “Heather” Cho wants to move the nut rage case from New York to Seoul Korea, on the basis that all the written material is in Korean.

As for the latest innocent unarmed black man getting shot by a racist white cop, this particular one has been arrested SEVENTY times…
…quite the racist system conspiring against the freedoms of blacks.
None-the-less, after consideration, perhaps the cop was not quite as wrong in his action as it first seemed.
The first warning sign was the prosecutor calling it a “chickencrap stop” (no relation). This reeks of racial politics rather than law enforcement reality… as you never see any screams for accountability over no-knock warrants gone wrong… even at the wrong address.
No license plate on the front is illegal. At the very least, it beats red light cameras. So, this was a perfectly lawful stop.
Even if it was a chickencrap stop, that is a legitimate police tool when they know something is unusual or not right. In this case, it produced a guy with an open container of alcohol and no license.
It is reasonable to ask him to step out of the vehicle… especially considering the open contain… on the driver’s side floorboard.
It is a natural reaction but not fantastic policing to be reaching into a car that is trying to get away…
…yet there is another way to look at this.
The driver has an open container and is fleeing the scene. He now presents a lethal threat to others. It is reasonable for the officer to believe the driver is involved in some sort of criminal activity worthy of fleeing. It is reasonable to believe the driver will be involved in a police chase on public streets endangering civilians. It is reasonable to believe the driver is impared and more dangerouse due to alcohol.
With that in mind, it becomes reasonable to use force to insure the driver does not get away and endanger the public.
If anyone bothered to look at the high quality YouTube video, rather than the grainy one released my the media, there are more things to notice.
The most interesting to me was the change in position of the car parked down the road.
The officer was clearly attached to the car for some distance.
Further, the driver had to swerve toward the cop to pass that car… potentially dragging his feet to a place where letting go would get him run over.
So the chain of events…
1. Illegal action, legal stop
2. Increasing number of reason the driver is up to no good and needs to step out of the car
3. Evidence the driver posed a danger
4. Attempt to flee, posingva greater danger
5. Cop attemps to stop flight by controlling the vehicle
6. Officer is faced with a serious and immeduate threat to himself and a potential threat to others
7. Officer responds with deadly force and resolves all threat issues
Each link of that chain is reasonable.
Verdict (based on current information): Good Shoot
(Anyone is welcome to present a differing opinion backed by solid reasoning.)
The real issues:
– over-criminalization of everything… not always in the public interest
– police quick to be violent (though this cop was polite and professional with no anger issues or authoritarian attitude).
– anti-authority attitudes when not necessary (and this coming from a champion of resisting authority)
– the lack of understanding that resisting police (except in rare cases) is not productive
Being that I kept odd hours, wore strange clothes, drove unusual vehicles on both ends of the income spectrum, etc., I have been chickenshyt stopped numerous times.
I had my paperwork (or excuse) ready, my window down, my hands at 2-10 on the wheel, made no moves until requested, was polite but not boot-licking, complied immediately with requests, was cooperative… and never got shot in the head… and always got just a warning for whatever chickenshyt I was stopped for.
…and it was not because I was white… as I know plenty of white people who hate cops because they come away from every interaction with tickets due to attitude and mouth running.
Another thing… if one just takes 30 seconds of care to leave the open containers, drug paraphernalia, ski masks & duct tape, etc., at home or out of view, it reduces all other problems.

EGGHEAD quotes only the prosecutor prosecuting the black man hating/murderer white cop named Tensing. EGGHEAD says the prosecutor is using “racial politics” and then stupidly(because he’s an EGGHEAD) compares the DuBose murder to no-knock warrants as though there is racism involved and everyone in the home is unarmed & murdered. 🙄 What an EGGHEAD!!!
The Cincinnati police chief Jeffrey Blackwell said this about Tensing…“This officer was wrong,” Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell said, according to AP, insisting that officers “have to be held accountable.”
I’d call it another unarmed black man murder by another white cop rather than “racial politics.”
More EGGHEAD stupidity…”No license plate on the front is illegal.” Not in Cincinnati, Ohio dummy!!!
Tensing’s lawyer(Mathews) surprisingly said…that Tensing’s killing of an unarmed black man was justified because…can you guess…? I’ll give you a moment to think….
…because he “feared for his life” 😆
EGGHEAD, at what moment in time do you think Tensing “feared for his life?”
That’s the routine cop go to excuse after every unarmed black man murder by white cops.
Tensing’s lawyer(Mathews) even says that Tensing is just “being made an example…”
“With the political climate in this country with white police officers shooting black individuals, I think they need somebody to make an example of,” Mathews said, according to AP.
I’m sure I haven’t heard it all from this guilty unarmed black man murderer white racist cop Tensing.
Fortunately facts are facts but as normal this black man killer Tensing has white buddy cops who wrote reports with lies(Tensing was not “dragged” by the DuBose car but they lied and said Tensing was “dragged”) in an attempt to cover up the truth. They’ve even done it ALL before…Yep, they previously killed another unarmed black man in the past…
Officers At DuBose Death Scene Involved In Previous Death Of Unarmed Black Man http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/30/samuel-dubose-officers-kelly-brinson
[Five years before University of Cincinnati officers Eric Weibel and Phillip Kidd corroborated the seemingly false account of an officer now charged with murder, they helped as Kelly Brinson was shocked and shackled…
Two police officers who corroborated a seemingly false account of the fatal shooting of Samuel DuBose in Cincinnati were previously implicated in the death of an unarmed, hospitalised and mentally ill black man who died after he was “rushed” by a group of seven University of Cincinnati police officers.
Kelly Brinson, a 45-year-old mental health patient at Cincinnati’s University hospital, suffered a psychotic episode on 20 January 2010 and was placed inside a seclusion room at the hospital by UC officers. He was then shocked(tazzed) with a Taser three times by an officer and placed in restraints. The father of one – son Kelly Jr – then suffered a respiratory cardiac arrest and died three days later.
In court documents obtained by the Guardian and filed by Brinson’s family in a civil suit against UC police and the hospital, all seven officers are accused of using excessive force and “acted with deliberate indifference to the serious medical and security needs of Mr Brinson”.
According to the lawsuit, before Brinson was placed in restraints he “repeatedly yelled that slavery was over and he repeatedly pleaded not to be shackled and not to be treated like a slave”. The documents named University of Cincinnati officers Eric Weibel and Phillip Kidd – the same men who, in a formal report, supported officer Ray Tensing’s claim that he was “dragged” by DuBose’s vehicle on 19 July.]

How can Tbone get his analysis right when he can never get his facts right?
We can have an actual discussion, Tbone, when you join reality.
Interesting that this front license plate non-issue is being made into some sort of issue… while the actions of the career crimanal are being ignored…
…yet another indicator the media and the politically-motivated are trying to make something out of nothing.
There was just a news story where a cop DIDN’T shoot the scumbag in the head. The guy drove away and later crossed the centerline… killing two innocent people.
Their surviving relatives might support the shooting of a very real threat to society.
EGGHEAD Take Note: Arizona Tested 87,000 Welfare Recipients; Found One User
http://mic.com/articles/122607/arizona-drug-tested-welfare-recipients-here-are-the-shocking-results
Scott Walker wants to be your next GOP president/drug test welfare recipients. If he took the time to study results elsewhere, he’d learn he’s wasting taxpayers’ money.
When Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination on July 13, he peppered his 34-minute speech with a laundry list of deeply conservative policy prescriptions. Among them was a requirement — much like the one in the state budget he signed less than 24 hours before the event — that welfare recipients pass a drug test before collecting public assistance benefits….
…The results are thin: According to USA Today, more than 87,000 welfare recipients went through Arizona’s program in the three years after it began. The total number of drug cheats caught was exactly one — a single positive result, which saved the state precisely $560.
Checking in again in March, the Arizona Sonora News Service cited state Department of Economic Security figures which found that over the course of more than five years, “42 people have been asked to take a follow-up drug test and 19 actually took the test, 16 of whom passed. The other 23 were stripped of their benefits for failing to take the drug test.”
That adds up to a grand total of three failed tests from 2009-2014. The net savings reaped from withholding benefits for those who either tested positive or failed to complete a drug test was around $3,500, once the $500 cost of testing the 19 is factored in, according to one state agency report. The haul is especially unimpressive when you consider the $1.7 million in savings state officials promised when they unveiled the program.
Lesson learned? Not quite.
Since Arizona enacted its drug testing programs, at least six more states have implemented similar measures. In 2012, Utah began its own, which, according to the Daily Beast, nabbed 12 of 466 people tested at a cost to the state of $25,000.
Earlier this year, a report on Tennessee’s program found that 37 out of 16,017 tested had failed — precisely 0.23% of recipients. In Florida, where the practice has been repeatedly challenged in the courts, Republican Gov. Rick Scott announced in March that he would not submit any further appeals on behalf of a law ruled unconstitutional by two federal courts. In rejecting the state’s claim in December 2014, the justices for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals found that during the nearly four months the law was in effect, “4,046 applicants submitted to drug testing. Only 108 — 2.67% — tested positive for drug use.”

Restoration PAC spokesman Dan Curry said the image was widely circulated on the Internet, so the organization didn’t realize it was forged.”

‘Louisiana Gunman Hated Feminists, Liberals’
http://www.alan.com/2015/07/25/louisiana-gunman-hated-feminists-liberals/
“The 59-year-old gunman suspected of killing three people, including himself, inside a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, on Thursday night was “kind of a drifter,” said Police Chief Jim Craft.
Authorities have identified the suspect as John Russell Houser, a white male who previously resided in Phenix City, Alabama, and had been living in Lafayette since early July. A page on the Tea Party Nation website was registered by a man with that name in June 2013. He also was a commenter on PoliticalForum.com, where he wrote about disliking liberals, the collapse of the United States and President Barack Obama.
Calvin Floyd, the former host of a talk show on WLTZ NBC 38, called him a “radical Republican,” who was anti-abortion and anti-feminist, The Washington Post reported. Another host, Doug Kellet of TalkLine in Columbus, Georgia, said Houser also spoke about anti-tax issues, according to the Post.
“He seems to be estranged from his family,” Craft told reporters at a news conference on Friday morning. “He just kind of seemed like he was drifting alone.”

GOP Debate Selections Chosen by FoxNOTnews Arbitrarily Rather than Scientifically(Duh!). AS YA’LL KNOW, THE GOP DON’T CARE ABOUT SCIENCE ~ DUH!). The margin of error(whatever %) is ignored by FoxNOTnews therefore you won’t see Rick Dummy Perry on the FoxNOTnews debate stage along with 5 other GOP dimwits but you will see plenty of other GOP dimwits including dimwit John Kasich(GOP) from Ohio beating out Rick Dummy Perry, that is the arbitrary cut off point for FoxNOTnews.
TCruz calls McConnell a Flat-Out-Liar breaking GOP rules but what about the rules that says you don’t call the American President Obama a Terrorist? T. Cruz and McConnell are both GOP’ers and McConnell is the GOP Senate majority leader(for you dummy GOP loving dimwits). T. Cruz is a wannabe 2016 president but he’s not American because he was born in Canada yet he’s a birther or Obama American Denier just like D. Trump. That’s the ticket…D. Trump for GOP leader and T. Cruz for the GOP vice leader VS. the democratic ticket of B. Sanders/H. Clinton ❗
Huckabee Wannabe 2016 GOP president compares President Barack Obama to Hitler. And the GOP just isn’t “the same” as democrats. Most of the GOP idiot followers of EGGHEAD, including Leon, setnaffa etc… continue to say/belive that the GOP and democrats are on of “the same” but they’ve failed miserabley to compare for months/years since I’ve been commenting @ROKDROP the vitriol the GOP spews compared to democrats. Now if you’re an EGGHEAD IDIOT like EGGHEAD/Chickenface, Leon, setnaffa, etc…and want to continue to believe that t;hen fine but if you ain’t got ROKS in your EGGHEAD then maybe you could for once show me the comparable type of non-vitriol democrats spew to GOP VITRIOL?
I know I’ll be waiting for more years and you EGGHEADS to pretend democrats are as hateful etc… as the GOP. 😮 🙄 🙁

Logan Act which prohibits private citizens from meddling in foreign affairs. A violation of the act is a felony.

“Now Walker isn’t even willing to wait until he is in office to start mucking things up:
In an incredible show of hubris, Walker told John Harmon, guest host of On Point Radio (link is external), as he has in prior interviews, that he would “terminate the deal on day one” and added “but I wouldn’t wait for the first day, I would be on the phone on the day after the election working with our allies around the world because this is not only a long-term threat, they are a short-term threat, certainly to Israel.”
If Walker hadn’t dropped out of college perhaps he would have learned about the Logan Act which prohibits private citizens from meddling in foreign affairs. A violation of the act is a felony.
So where is Walker coming up with such nonsense, albeit dangerous nonsense?
Meet Kevin Hermening.
Walker has cited Hermening many times, including in his presidential kickoff speech.. Hermening was one of the 52 marines… “

What’s in the 6-year Senate transportation bill
Perhaps you shouldn’t be renting/buying a car from a rental company for 6 years unless you’re sure it’s safe…you could be on your own since they’ll be able to rent/sell re-called vehicles.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3177877/Whats-6-year-Senate-transportation-bill.html
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is moving toward the likely passage this week of a sweeping, six-year transportation bill, but the House is putting off consideration of the measure until this fall…
…Since 2009, Congress has passed 34 short-term transportation extensions. Five states — Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming — have delayed or canceled $1.5 billion in construction projects because they couldn’t count on federal aid…,
Some highlights of the Senate bill:
What is wrong with those five states Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming? They’re all staunch republican, aren’t they confident a GOP will become president within 6 years? Ooops, that’s exactly what they’re afraid of, the veto pen even if/after the impossible were to happen…GOP senate/house majority were to pass such a bill. 😮
Highways, rail, transit, and auto safety needs tax dollars and the GOP refuses to raise taxes(or reduce DOD $$$/stop starting wars without voting on them/rebuilding nations) etc… Oh well, down goes the USA infrastructure. Thank you GOPers ❗

Michael Moore stealth Film, a new one called ‘Where To Invade Next’
I can’t wait ❗
It’s a “stealth” film announced at the Toronto Film Festival ~
http://www.showbiz411.com/2015/07/28/michael-moore-surprises-with-new-stealth-film-to-be-launched-at-toronto-film-fest
“Moore’s been shooting on the sly– (I wondered why he’d been so quiet lately.) Moore’s film is definitely timed to current events, although I think his work is getting more anecdotally interesting than headline making. But we’ll see come September. This is going to be the hottest ticket in Toronto, by far.
The doc will explore the military industrial complex, a subject no one can be tired of and is always eye opening no matter what your political affiliation.
Moore is the winner of the 2003 Best Documentary Oscar for “Bowling for Columbine,” a movie that reverberates now as every week we hear about another mass shooting somewhere. His other hit documentaries with lasting impact include “Fahrenheit 911,” “Sicko” and “Roger and Me.”
Watch Trailer…

““(There’s) this constant need it seems to always have an enemy — where’s the next enemy so we can keep this whole military industrial complex alive, and keep the companies that make a lot of money from this in business?” Moore said of the inspiration for the film, which was filmed across three continents. “I’ve always been a little bothered by that, so that’s where the comedy comes from.”
“The issue of the United States at infinite war is something that has concerned me for quite some time, and provides the necessary satire for this film,” he went on….”

Guantanamo Poison causing cancer deaths/sicknesses and more(200 people) but Navy will NOT be transparent about it. The EPA, etc should do testing because the GOP has done everything they can to stop USA President Obama from closing Guantanamo Bay as it was one of his campaign promises dating back to 2007. Thank you GOPers not closing/cleaning the jet fuel dump on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and refusing to work with the black man USA President Obama. Three military lawyers are dead. 😳 I don’t trust any Navy investigation ❗ ❗ ❗

“The comments came as Reuters reported that a complaint to the Defense Department Inspector General alleged that at least seven civilians and military members who worked on detainee trials at Guantanamo Bay have been diagnosed with cancer.
The allegations are the latest trouble for the prison at Guantanamo, which President Obama has said repeatedly he wants closed. The Pentagon was racing to move detainees from the facility this spring before lawmakers could block future transfers or halt Obama’s plan to close the prison, defense officials told The Washington Post.
The IG complaint alleged that patients may have been exposed to toxic material where the lived near a location where jet fuel was disposed or asbestos, Reuters reported.”
White cop murders unarmed driver(head shot) who just so happens to be a black man. How? During a routine traffic stop. And guess what the white cop did? Yup, he lied in his police report. 😮
Watch Video
Thankfully a Cincinnati grand jury indicted a white Cincinnati, Ohio police officer who shot an unarmed black man(Samuel Dubose) in the head during a routine traffic stop earlier this month.
http://www.10news.com/news/local-news/watch-body-cam-video-released-in-sam-dubose-shooting
Published on Jul 29, 2015
“WARNING: The video above may be too graphic for some viewers. Watch with discretion.
CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing’s body camera video clearly shows that he committed “murder” when he shot and killed an unarmed black motorist at a traffic stop earlier this month, prosecutor Joe Deters said Wednesday.
The shocking video shows Tensing grab the outside door latch on 43-year-old Sam DuBose’s car on July 19 after DuBose couldn’t produce a driver’s license.
Tensing tells DuBose to take his seat belt off. As Tensiing pulls the door open a few inches, DuBose pulls it closed and says, “I didn’t do nothing, man.”
DuBose turns the key and revs the engine,
Tensing pulls his gun, shouts, “Stop! Stop!” and shoots DuBose in the head through the open window.
Showing the video publicly for the first time, Deters called it an “asinine, senseless shooting,” and announced that a grand jury had indicted Tensing for murder.
Deters said the video refutes Tensing’s claim that DuBose pulled away from the stop and dragged him with his car.
“I think he (Tensing) lost his temper because Mr. DuBose would not get out of his car. He wasn’t dragged. When you see it, you will not believe how quickly he pulled his gun and shot him in the head,” Deters said at a 1 p.m. news conference.
“He was simply, slowly rolling away. That’s it,” Deters said.
“I was senseless. It didn’t have to happen,” Deters said, adding that Tensing should have never stopped DuBose for not having a front license plate.
“It was a chicken-s— stop,” Deters said.”
“Three military lawyers are dead.”
Well… it’s a start.
On the shooting…
Police have taken militarization to heart. This was not racism. This was a cop trained in expectations of 100% instant compliance in both thought and action… as well as the current officer safety mindset that sees everyone in every situation as a potential threat… with preemptive violence as an officially sanctioned option.
Some poor ignorant negro was not aware of this dynamic and did not realize the increasing danger he put himself in at every step of the quietly escalating interaction… evasive answers, open denial and defiance, overly active hands moving in and out of places unseen, open alcohol container, and finally an escape attempt… which cops not only see as insulting but are trained to perceive as a threat… especially when they hold on to the car.
Of course it is easier to scream racism of a single cop than question if the police as an organization, with encouragement from the government, has become thuggish in their interactions with citizens… or if maybe blacks should have reasonable courtesy and behavior when dealing with cops (or anyone).
Is there one shooting yet of an “unarmed black man” (UBM) where the UBM didn’t start out full of shucking and jiving shyt and finish up violently resisting reasonable requests in some way?
And, with overwhelming force rather than proportional response being police doctrine, this is what happens.
But… let’s cry racism and move on.
“This was not racism.”
EGGHEAD trying to generalize like black cops shoot white drivers who certainly don’t deserve to die? 😈
Okay Chickenface EGGHEAD, show us a black cop on video shooting a white man dead for a routine traffic violation? 😮
I know you just can’t face the truth. 🙄
That is as far as I read in your blah blah blah comment
“routine traffic violation”
Correction: The black man driver should’ve NEVER been pulled over, PERIOD ❗
Did you see how quickly that white racist cop shot the innocent black man driver in the head ❓
Show me a black cop who should’ve never stopped/pulled over a white driver and then shot her in the head so quickly when so-called white woman opened her glove box 😡
If the driver was white he/she would’ve NEVER been pulled over/stopped by that white racist cop. 😐 I’m still waiting for your black cop shooting white man video 😆
EGGHEAD says…“Three military lawyers are dead.” Well… it’s a start.”
It’s obvious that EGGHEAD discriminates based on job title. Do military lawyers deserve to die of poison/cancer?
Correction:
“Three military contractors are dead. Well…it’s a start.”
There, I fixed it for you ❗
1. The ratio of white cops to black criminals FAR exceeds the ratio of black cops to white criminals.
2. Rather generally speaking, blacks have poorer attitudes when dealing with authority than whites or Latinos… who are frequently more polite and compliant… though there are plenty of videos where whitey mouths off to cops and gets a beatdown… or a bullet when they become violent or semi-threatening. Whitey just doesn’t fukk around with cops as much as darkie does.
3. Are you sure he should not have been pulled over? Ohio requires a front plate. His car had no front plate. This is a reason to pull someone over. Evasive answers, nervous actions, open containers, unusual hand movements… those are all signs cops look for when determining if the situation requires further attention. Slamming the door, refusing to get out, and trying to drive off seal the deal. As there was no violence toward the cop (unlike some other shootings) and he did not appear to be a fleeing felon posing a danger to others, the cop should not have shot the guy… but remember, the REAL issue here is cops being trained to see everything as a threat and use overwhelming force to stop it… with the old, “What if he drove off and hit a kid” kind of thinking being drilled into their heads.
As long as it is Racist White Cops shooting Unarmed Black Men, nothing will change. Cops will still be trained to take total control of the situation and blacks will continue to show all the signs they are a potential threat.
Tbone, are you now supporting militarized police?
And the inevitable lawsuit is getting underway.
Hyun-ah “Heather” Cho wants to move the nut rage case from New York to Seoul Korea, on the basis that all the written material is in Korean. The fact that Daddy Dear owns most of the judges here in South Korea, and that losing a lawsuit in New York will cost her FAR more than losing a lawsuit in Korea has nothing to do with it, I’m sure.

Leon, why do you ask me to “engage” the new Chickeface? AKA Chickenhead/EGGHEAD? He had various topics to choose and respond to but he ultimately did the old jerky jerk. He tried to divert attention from here to there in an attempt to defuse attention from one comment(#25) to another. Then, in his #32 comment he completely ignored the original point AND COMPLETELY FAILED AT SHOWING US PROVIDING A LINK….I.e. YOUTUBE. Has this EGG/BUTTHEAD ever heard of YOUTUBE showing black men wrongfully arresting the white man and then shooting them dead in the head?
Nope, he can’t because in his stupid #31 comment he FAILED just as he almost ALWAYS does. 😮
As for the latest innocent unarmed black man getting shot by a racist white cop, this particular one has been arrested SEVENTY times…
…quite the racist system conspiring against the freedoms of blacks.
None-the-less, after consideration, perhaps the cop was not quite as wrong in his action as it first seemed.
The first warning sign was the prosecutor calling it a “chickencrap stop” (no relation). This reeks of racial politics rather than law enforcement reality… as you never see any screams for accountability over no-knock warrants gone wrong… even at the wrong address.
No license plate on the front is illegal. At the very least, it beats red light cameras. So, this was a perfectly lawful stop.
Even if it was a chickencrap stop, that is a legitimate police tool when they know something is unusual or not right. In this case, it produced a guy with an open container of alcohol and no license.
It is reasonable to ask him to step out of the vehicle… especially considering the open contain… on the driver’s side floorboard.
It is a natural reaction but not fantastic policing to be reaching into a car that is trying to get away…
…yet there is another way to look at this.
The driver has an open container and is fleeing the scene. He now presents a lethal threat to others. It is reasonable for the officer to believe the driver is involved in some sort of criminal activity worthy of fleeing. It is reasonable to believe the driver will be involved in a police chase on public streets endangering civilians. It is reasonable to believe the driver is impared and more dangerouse due to alcohol.
With that in mind, it becomes reasonable to use force to insure the driver does not get away and endanger the public.
If anyone bothered to look at the high quality YouTube video, rather than the grainy one released my the media, there are more things to notice.
The most interesting to me was the change in position of the car parked down the road.
The officer was clearly attached to the car for some distance.
Further, the driver had to swerve toward the cop to pass that car… potentially dragging his feet to a place where letting go would get him run over.
So the chain of events…
1. Illegal action, legal stop
2. Increasing number of reason the driver is up to no good and needs to step out of the car
3. Evidence the driver posed a danger
4. Attempt to flee, posingva greater danger
5. Cop attemps to stop flight by controlling the vehicle
6. Officer is faced with a serious and immeduate threat to himself and a potential threat to others
7. Officer responds with deadly force and resolves all threat issues
Each link of that chain is reasonable.
Verdict (based on current information): Good Shoot
(Anyone is welcome to present a differing opinion backed by solid reasoning.)
The real issues:
– over-criminalization of everything… not always in the public interest
– police quick to be violent (though this cop was polite and professional with no anger issues or authoritarian attitude).
– anti-authority attitudes when not necessary (and this coming from a champion of resisting authority)
– the lack of understanding that resisting police (except in rare cases) is not productive
Being that I kept odd hours, wore strange clothes, drove unusual vehicles on both ends of the income spectrum, etc., I have been chickenshyt stopped numerous times.
I had my paperwork (or excuse) ready, my window down, my hands at 2-10 on the wheel, made no moves until requested, was polite but not boot-licking, complied immediately with requests, was cooperative… and never got shot in the head… and always got just a warning for whatever chickenshyt I was stopped for.
…and it was not because I was white… as I know plenty of white people who hate cops because they come away from every interaction with tickets due to attitude and mouth running.
Another thing… if one just takes 30 seconds of care to leave the open containers, drug paraphernalia, ski masks & duct tape, etc., at home or out of view, it reduces all other problems.
Tbone just needs to wake up.
“Tbone just needs to wake up.”
Just?
Yeah. It takes an act of willpower he hasn’t shown. And some contrition, given he irritated a group who had every reason to sympathize with him at the beginning.
But there are probably a lot of folks here who overlook political views when folks treat each other with respect.
EGGHEAD quotes only the prosecutor prosecuting the black man hating/murderer white cop named Tensing. EGGHEAD says the prosecutor is using “racial politics” and then stupidly(because he’s an EGGHEAD) compares the DuBose murder to no-knock warrants as though there is racism involved and everyone in the home is unarmed & murdered. 🙄 What an EGGHEAD!!!
The Cincinnati police chief Jeffrey Blackwell said this about Tensing…“This officer was wrong,” Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell said, according to AP, insisting that officers “have to be held accountable.”
I’d call it another unarmed black man murder by another white cop rather than “racial politics.”
More EGGHEAD stupidity…”No license plate on the front is illegal.” Not in Cincinnati, Ohio dummy!!!
Tensing’s lawyer(Mathews) surprisingly said…that Tensing’s killing of an unarmed black man was justified because…can you guess…? I’ll give you a moment to think….
…because he “feared for his life” 😆
EGGHEAD, at what moment in time do you think Tensing “feared for his life?”
That’s the routine cop go to excuse after every unarmed black man murder by white cops.
Tensing’s lawyer(Mathews) even says that Tensing is just “being made an example…”
“With the political climate in this country with white police officers shooting black individuals, I think they need somebody to make an example of,” Mathews said, according to AP.
I’m sure I haven’t heard it all from this guilty unarmed black man murderer white racist cop Tensing.
Why can’t EGGHEAD be sympathetic to the wrongful car stop and murder of DuBose like the Cincinnatti police chief Jeffrey Blackwell?
http://www.nbcnews.com/video/cincinnati-police-chief-something-positive-will-come-out-of-dubose-killing-493885507742
Why does EGGHEAD always defend the cops who kill unarmed black men? Hmmm…,okay now I know ❗
Fortunately facts are facts but as normal this black man killer Tensing has white buddy cops who wrote reports with lies(Tensing was not “dragged” by the DuBose car but they lied and said Tensing was “dragged”) in an attempt to cover up the truth. They’ve even done it ALL before…Yep, they previously killed another unarmed black man in the past…
Officers At DuBose Death Scene Involved In Previous Death Of Unarmed Black Man
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/30/samuel-dubose-officers-kelly-brinson
[Five years before University of Cincinnati officers Eric Weibel and Phillip Kidd corroborated the seemingly false account of an officer now charged with murder, they helped as Kelly Brinson was shocked and shackled…
Two police officers who corroborated a seemingly false account of the fatal shooting of Samuel DuBose in Cincinnati were previously implicated in the death of an unarmed, hospitalised and mentally ill black man who died after he was “rushed” by a group of seven University of Cincinnati police officers.
Kelly Brinson, a 45-year-old mental health patient at Cincinnati’s University hospital, suffered a psychotic episode on 20 January 2010 and was placed inside a seclusion room at the hospital by UC officers. He was then shocked(tazzed) with a Taser three times by an officer and placed in restraints. The father of one – son Kelly Jr – then suffered a respiratory cardiac arrest and died three days later.
In court documents obtained by the Guardian and filed by Brinson’s family in a civil suit against UC police and the hospital, all seven officers are accused of using excessive force and “acted with deliberate indifference to the serious medical and security needs of Mr Brinson”.
According to the lawsuit, before Brinson was placed in restraints he “repeatedly yelled that slavery was over and he repeatedly pleaded not to be shackled and not to be treated like a slave”. The documents named University of Cincinnati officers Eric Weibel and Phillip Kidd – the same men who, in a formal report, supported officer Ray Tensing’s claim that he was “dragged” by DuBose’s vehicle on 19 July.]
“Ohio has required a front plate since 1908, except for 1944-46 when Ohio wanted to conserve steel for the war effort, according to Bureau of Motor Vehicle officials.”
How can Tbone get his analysis right when he can never get his facts right?
We can have an actual discussion, Tbone, when you join reality.
Interesting that this front license plate non-issue is being made into some sort of issue… while the actions of the career crimanal are being ignored…
…yet another indicator the media and the politically-motivated are trying to make something out of nothing.
There was just a news story where a cop DIDN’T shoot the scumbag in the head. The guy drove away and later crossed the centerline… killing two innocent people.
Their surviving relatives might support the shooting of a very real threat to society.
