Ohio confirms voting machine vulnerabilities — remember, Ohio was the state that potentially stole the 2004 election (please refer to the Clint Curtis testimony to the Ohio Supreme Court). Anyway, cop shoots football player 3 times. Of course it’s okay. Other cops beat a man so bad he is still requiring 24/7 medical care 7 years later – do they help the victim? No. They don’t even offer a settlement until a lawsuit is imminent. They are heavy-handed bastards, jackbooted thugs. These police do not deserve anyone’s respect. Please note that both garbage man and taxi driver are occupations with a higher rate of deaths than being a police officer. Their excuses are hollow and these practices must be stopped at any cost.

VOTING FRAUD: Ohio Study Confirms Voting Systems Vulnerabilities
Diebold can change their name, but they can never run from the truth.

Why cops are still cops, even when off-duty.
Off-duty cop, no uniform, no badge, shoots football player 3 times. His friend drives up to try to save him. He shoots her car. She gets convicted of assault with a deadly weapon. It wouldn’t go quite like this if no cops were involved.

And when did the state try to mediate a settlement? Only after 7 years of lawyers. Only when the case was about to go to trial next year. “Those police officers acted appropriately and consistently with their training.”

“…officers acted appropriately and consistently with their training…”
you know, that seems to be the fallback refrain in a lot of these cases. maybe the policies that render these sorts of actions appropriate and the academies’ training methods need to have a little more oversight. i wonder how police S.O.P. would change if policies and training methods were subject to community review rather than just internal review.
i mean, if the yardstick for what is or is not “obscene” is determined by “reasonable community standard,” than perhaps the standards applied to people who carry guns, tasers, and clubs ought to be subject to the same?

Ian, I couldn’t have said it better myself. Not even if I tried really really hard :)
