Out of control police brutality (including outright murder), and the militarization of cops across America, while significant issues in their own right, take on an even more pressing degree of concern when viewed as a reflection of society as a whole. For years now, I have been trying to point out the connection between banker bailouts, corruption in Washington D.C., imperialistic foreign policy and police aggression. They are all different sides of the same coin. All of these things are merely symptoms of the core cancer, which is a sociopathic elite running the nation and not applying the rule of law to those who are in power; wherever that power happens to reside.
This article is a perfect followup to my piece from earlier in the week, To Protect and Perve – California Cops Share Nude Photos Stolen from Citizens’ Cellphones, in which I wrote:
The worst thing about the government’s reckless response to the financial crisis of 2008, even worse than the trillions in taxpayer bailouts and backstops granted to the financial criminals that created the disaster, is the primary lesson that it sent to American society as a whole. Some people like to call it “moral hazard,” but in more pedestrian terms it really just boils down to: The Bad Guys Got Away with It.
As long as the worst amongst us continue to get away with their criminality, the more of it we will see. In fact, the more brutal and cartoonish it will get.
A very sad and disturbing example of this happened in 2012, when a terrified, 49-year old, mentally illl homeless man, Milton Hall, was gunned down to death in broad daylight by 8 cops in Saginaw, Michigan.
He represents everything our superficial, greed obsessed, immoral culture despises. He was a homeless, mentally ill black man.
This is how cops disposed of him:
This happened in 2012, but the reason it is being highlighted today is the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan recently released a statement highlighting the fact that the “Justice” Department has failed to prosecute the officers involved. The DOJ claims that: “this tragic event does not present sufficient evidence of willful misconduct to lead to a federal criminal prosecution.”
How can anyone who sees this video agree with that statement. The bad guys won again. Justice no longer resides in America. No wonder Ferguson exploded.
Read the ACLU of Michigan’s full statement here.

This is a comment from youtube …. some degenerate sheeplefuk named “Steven Seargeant”. It got 54 thumbs up, 0 thumbs down.
“Fuck him. The asshole was a thief, and when confronted pulled a knife. Anyone who thinks the cops used excessive force should go wrestle a blade away from some degenerate (extra credit if you catch hepatitis).”
I hate most Americans. A lot.
This country is fucked Six Ways To Sunday. The end can’t come soon enough, imho.
Far too many problems, far too much bad blood and injustice to ever repair or reform the systemic and wholesale corruption and failures of our time.
It is all over but for the final conflagration and that will come regardless of what anyone believes to the contrary.
Heartbreaking times, these.
A muslim cuts off the head of a reporter and we start a war, a homeless man with a pocket knife gets shot to shit…..
How this can happen and continue to happen in this country without local massive riots is beyond my comprehension.
Unless the fear of that boot on our face is keeping those who would riot in line.
ACLU = American Criminal Liberties Union
The cops forgot the blindfold and last cigarette. F@$kers
Good thing they’re all in prison now, right? In a cell next to Jon Corzine.
THIS SHIT MUST END ! But the show of citizen force that it would take to undo the POLICE STATE machinery will never be accomplished. Too many sheeple !
every time, I’m surprised that Sci-Fi isn’t that much ahead of reality. we live in a mix of equilibrium and the matrix, with a touch of Mad Max.
shooting like this are terror operations against the population in order to prevent mass protests that could spread after a financial disaster. they have the white card to put the pressure, obviously.
now I’m also surprised that such tragic event doesn’t send thousands of people in the street. one day, it will be you that will stand in the line of sight. It will worsen, that’s a given…exactly like when you allow a dog to bite a person.
now, as a genuine surrender monkey from France, there’s something I’ve learned with years and experience of protests: no pain, no gain. cops will NEVER behave normaly again unless you the people show you are the real boss to your government. there’s no way out of confrontation.
and it’s always when protests turn hot that governments backpedal.
2 days ago a young educated male has been killed by a flash grenade during a protest in France. the copfuck blown it at point blank 10 yards from him and say he didn’t see the guy!
protesters weren’t ragheads or commies, they were fighting a dam project that will wreck a natural life area virgin from pollution.
do you think people ducked like in Saginaw? NO FUCKING WAY
now the cops have to face retaliations in a dozen of places in front of town halls with all the goodies you can imagine like big bore fireworks fired at them.
conclusion: the failed project is at stake and the murderous cop will not avoid prosecution. this is sad to think it took a live and some destructions to show the crypto-bankers they can’t fuck with the crowd.
You can clearly see one of his shoulders move like he’s thinking about reaching for an officer’s gun….case closed.
Spinolator
He isn’t within 30 feet of a copfuk.
Get your eyes checked.
Fuck cops.
I saw this movie, it was called Magnum Force.
“Fuck him. The asshole was a thief, and when confronted pulled a knife. Anyone who thinks the cops used excessive force should go wrestle a blade away from some degenerate (extra credit if you catch hepatitis).”
Who can believe such an attitude.
Does anyone seriously think it takes 8 cops and 46 shots to disarm one guy with a knife?
It should take one cop with half decent self defense training to do that !
Krav Maga is ideal and would deal with that situation effortlessly.
Yeah the cops don’t have that do they.
One cop, 1 gun, how many bullets ?
C’mon get real – the other 7 cops can go to lunch for fuck’s sake.
Even allowing for the above, a kill shot is excessive force in any civilised country, so I guess the USA has reached the depths of Nazi Germany now where cops get to vent their deep seated fears, hatred and psychoses like the S.S. used to..
Election time yankees – get your clown Obama out of power and someone decent in.
A year or so ago there was a YouTube video showing two cops near Salinas CA who killed a guy. There was a comment from a cop from some small city in Texas. “Good shoot”, he wrote. I dug up the email address of the chief of police in that town and wrote to tell him that one of his officers was an idiot. Even if it had been a “good shoot”, the Texas cop shouldn’t be commenting like that online unless he wants it as evidence if he’s ever tried for excessive force. The Texas chief wrote me back telling me that his officer was top notch, etc etc and how normal people like me don’t understand the dangers these “heroes” are under.
Fuck him , one more useless ,lazy piece of shit that I as a tax payer am rid of.Thank you ,job well done.
