A video released Thursday showing a Miami Police officer kicking a handcuffed man in the head has led to that officer being relieved of duty.

This one’s a new low, even for our times.
It was just a routine workers’ compensation fraud case for private investigator Ken Sheppard. Show up for a spot check, do some surveillance of the subject.. But on March 3, 2014, it was anything but routine for the renowned private investigator known for busting reality TV series “Bridezillas” star Anita Maxwell for insurance fraud.
On location in Montrose, California, a city with just under 20,000 residents and less than one percent of them African-American, Mr. Sheppard was conducting regular surveillance of a subject while parked in his black Chevy Tahoe.
The Tahoe Mr. Sheppard was sitting in had side and rear tinted windows and was registered and insured for 3 million dollars in policy coverage.
It’s important to note that in subsequent court documents filed in federal court, Deputy Plunkett, as he was identified, had not been called to the scene by a neighbor or any other witness. No person alerted Deputy Plunkett’s station of suspicious activity in the area. He was just there.
PAPERS PLEASE!!!
My wife got in our little Honda Insight yesterday morning at 10:00 am to run some errands. As I’ve documented before, we live in a lily white suburb with virtually no crime. She turned onto one of the two lane country roads near our house and about three miles down the road what does she encounter? A State Police checkpoint pulling over every car traveling on that sleepy country road at 10:00 am on a Wednesday. WTF???
After being my wife for 25 years she may have developed a slight anti-state, anti-police slant. It was heavily reinforced by this experience. She was asked for her papers by the donut eating, government union drone, second responder, surveillance state representative. She annoyingly asked Mr. Hero why they were doing this to moms trying to get errands done on a sunny peaceful morning. He said it was a “safety check”.
What a load of smelly bullshit. Indiscriminately harassing innocent citizens who have violated no laws, for no good reason, is another example of the out of control government surveillance state. We are living in Orwell’s 1984 world. We are all guilty until proven innocent. This blatant example of intimidation is happening more and more. The police state is out of control. And the majority of the sheep just willingly allow themselves to be shepherded towards the slaughterhouse without a whimper in the name of safety and security.
More than half the population have no problem with the police conducting this type of offense. They believe the propaganda about safety. In reality, the purpose of this assault on our freedom is two pronged. The police state wants to invoke a healthy fear among the sheep through intimidation. Secondly, they want to find sheep who don’t have their papers in order so they can issue ridiculous financial penalties to fund their police state. I’m getting sick and tired of this shit. I’m voting for Trump in hopes this will trigger something that will burn this fucker down. Fuck this welfare/warfare surveillance state.
The Last Act Of Alexander Prokhorenko; Duty, Honor, Country.
This isn’t only about a Russian young man … it could just as easily be about an American soldier, or German soldier (from days long gone by) … because despite the bullshit about wars, it is young men who are sent to fight them …. and truly, some of them perform truly heroic acts. (So, take your peace-nik idealistic comments and stick them where the sun don’t shine.)
First, this is actual footage from Alexander’s wedding. It’s just a little over three minutes. Watch it please, or at least part of it. Get to know the man, a little.
Alexander Prokhorenko, 25, was a special forces soldier, on a secret mission in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra. Trapped behind enemy lines, surrounded by jihadists and with no possible means of escape, he took the decision to end his own life by calling in Russian warplanes to obliterate his location. His wife Ekaterina, who is pregnant with their first child, revealed she had no idea he was fighting in Syria. This is how it went down;

WAR HERO
I laughed out loud when I saw this clip of Trump talking about McCain. He’s right. McCain was a bad pilot. He had crashed his planes multiple times. He was captured and tortured. He cracked while in captivity. He’s no hero. He’s a corrupt warmongering politician who became wealthy while in office.
I love having Trump in the race. He’s hysterical.
IS EDWARD SNOWDEN A HERO?
EVEN THE NOBEL IDIOTS GET ONE RIGHT ONCE IN AWHILE
It appears the Nobel committee disagrees with Obama, Clapper and the entire U.S. Corporate Fascist State. When Dick Cheney and Barack Obama are on the same side of an issue, you know the other side is right. Edward Snowden is a patriot who made the ultimate sacrifice for the American people. He will forever be on the run from the CIA, who will murder him at the behest of their corporate fascist masters. They will just be following orders. Thankfully, there are still people like Snowden and Manning who have a conscience and refuse to follow the orders of an evil corrupt crony capitalist machinery. You can bet the committee will be threatened behind the scenes with extreme consequences if he is awarded the prize. Do you think he would show up to accept it?
“There is no doubt that the actions of Edward Snowden may have damaged the security interests of several nations in the short term. We are, however, convinced that the public debate and change in policy that have followed in the wake of Snowden’s whistleblowing have contributed to a more stable and peaceful world order.”

WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
ARE THE SHEEP WAKING UP?
Fourth Turnings are driven by changes in the mood of the various generations. The mood in this country darkens by the day, despite what the corporate MSM peddles 24/7. The status quo establishment ruling class are 100% in agreement that Snowden is a traitor. The majority of Americans are now in disagreement with those in power. Considering the ruling class is using their Bernaysian propaganda methods in an all out effort to herd the sheep toward their barn, the sheep are beginning to balk. At least Obama still has black folks thinking Snowden is a traitor. I wonder where the poll takers found the black folk to interview. If you asked 100 people in West Philly about Edward Snowden, 80% would think he was the Sixers’ 4th round draft pick out of Creighton. The other 20% would pull a knife on you.
Maybe some of the women on this site can explain how the majority of women in this country think the Federal government hasn’t done enough to protect us from phantom terrorists. Are they brain dead? Have they been watching to much Keeping Up With the Kardashians? Are they just plain stupid?
Latest Snowden Poll Results: 55% Say Whistleblower; 34% Say Traitor
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/10/2013 09:57 -0400
Immediately in the aftermath of the Snowden revelations, various political action committees and their ideologically affiliated polling services took to convincing the general public that according to “popular opinion”, a “majority” of Americans found Snowden to be a [traitor|hero]. A month later, with the the dust having settled somewhat, the US public has had some more time to consider the implications of living in the United Stasi States of America. And sure enough, another poll has just been released, this time by Quinnipiac. Its findings are as follows: a majority of U.S. registered voters consider Edward Snowden a whistle-blower, not a traitor, and a plurality says government anti-terrorism efforts have gone too far in restricting civil liberties, a poll released today shows. Fifty-five percent said Snowden was a whistle-blower in leaking details about top-secret U.S. programs that collect telephone and Internet data, in the survey from Hamden, Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University. Thirty-four percent said he’s a traitor.
The view of Snowden as a whistle-blower rather than traitor predominated among almost every group of respondents broken down by party, gender, income, education and age. Black voters were the lone exception, with 43 percent calling Snowden a traitor compared with 42 percent saying he was a whistle-blower.
More from the poll:
The poll also showed that by 45 percent to 40 percent, respondents said the government goes too far in restricting civil liberties as part of the war on terrorism. That was a reversal from January 2010, when in a similar survey 63 percent said anti-terrorism activities didn’t go far enough to protect the U.S. from attacks, compared with 25 percent who disagreed.
“The massive swing in public opinion about civil liberties and governmental anti-terrorism efforts, and the public view that Edward Snowden is more whistle-blower than traitor, are the public reaction and apparent shock at the extent to which the government has gone in trying to prevent future terrorist incidents,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of Quinnipiac’s polling institute.
“The verdict that Snowden is not a traitor goes against almost the unified view of the nation’s political establishment,” Brown said.
Facing espionage and other charges and with his passport revoked, Snowden has been holed up at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport since arriving there on June 23 from Hong Kong, which refused a U.S. extradition request. President Barack Obama’s administration has been pressuring other countries not to grant Snowden asylum, and U.S. officials who have called him a traitor include House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican.
The poll showed both Democrats and Republicans about evenly divided on whether government counter-terrorism measures have become excessive. Independent voters view the methods as having gone too far by 49 percent to 36 percent.
“The fact that there is little difference now along party lines about the overall anti-terrorism effort and civil liberties and about Snowden is in itself unusual in a country sharply divided along political lines about almost everything,” Brown said.
A gender gap emerges, though, on the government’s anti-terrorism programs. The poll showed that men, by 54 percent to 34 percent, see the government as having gone too far in its efforts while women, by 47 percent to 36 percent, said the measures haven’t gone far enough.
Despite this divergence, figures for the genders from Quinnipiac’s January 2010 poll exemplify the overall change in attitude on the issue. Male respondents, by 61 percent to 28 percent, said in the earlier survey that the government hadn’t gone far enough to protect the country. Among women, 64 percent said the same.
Likewise, among Republicans the percentage who said government has gone overboard in restricting civil liberties in the fight against terrorism grew to 41 percent in the new poll, compared with 17 percent three years ago.
Of course, this poll will promptly be overturned by another poll conducted by MSNBC (or comparable), finding that 120% of Americans believe Snowden deserves the chair. And the farce will go on.
