The next several minutes prove you right, but the camera gets confiscated and the recording of you losing several teeth to a police baton is “accidentally” deleted.

The report also described ways the police systematically shielded their own. For years, the police department had a practice of temporarily reassigning to the homicide division officers who had been involved in police shootings, the report said. Under department rules, any statements those officers made to homicide investigators were then automatically classified as “compelled,” and therefore couldn’t be used in investigations or prosecutions.

The report also states that federal laws were broken. Did anyone else read the article and think “Oh, thank god, the Feds are involved! Heads will roll and NO will finally get an honest PD!”

Me neither.

“Mother Greens is located between the Boulder County Republicans and…”

So *that’s* why they moved. Getting closer to their customers!

Just a Friendly Reminder: Please Shut the Hell Up.

I like that guy’s attitude. If people who think the government is your friend are like grains of sand, he would be like an oasis in the Sahara.

two points:
A)They seized that money from people, many of whom were never even charged with a crime much less convicted. I guess it makes it much more acceptable for the public if we can be deluded into thinking no innocent law abiding citizens had there money stolen in our name, with no due process, just “criminals”

B) “instead of taxpayer money” WTF? Who’s money is it if not the taxpayers? The police department’s?
This mentality demonstrates the danger of our asset forfeiture regime, where LE agents have the attitude that seized property, or property they intend to seize, is “theirs”.

Newsflash for the LEO’s -It’s not your money it’s the public’s money. Whether it came from tax revenues, fees, fines or forfeiture- it all belongs to the taxpaying public-NOT YOU!

Students who make their profiles private should have solid tort cases for invasion of privacy against anyone who hacks into their profiles or uses some other subterfuge to gain unauthorized access to their private information. And they should sue the hell out of their school districts if they don’t respect their privacy. Any district that does that should get publicly embarrassed at least as badly as Lower Merion did over the home computer spying scandal.

A college buddy of mine dealt with a laundry thief by punching him out. When the thief, widely described as a preppy douche, reported him to DPS, the theft victim/assailant told the officers something like, “I punched him because he stole my fucking clothes! He fucking stole my goddamn shit!”

The college took disciplinary action against the assailant (something like a censure, forced apology and anger management counseling) but I don’t believe they took disciplinary action against the thief. I’m not sure if it was another outbreak of police favoritism for the wealthy (something consistent with DPS’ corrupt behavior through the immediately preceding year, when the bad commanders were finally booted), a true lack of evidence, or legitimate discretion based on the victim having resorted to violence.

The laundry thief stole from his assailant’s friends, too. One friend said that he recognized his own Lacoste shirt in the thief’s official yearbook picture.

The thief now has a permanent position at the FDA. I’ll let doctrinaire libertarians make of that what they will. Personally, I don’t seriously read anything into his government career, but I find it entertaining that he so readily confirmed the libertarian meme of government as a den of thieves.

this is the danger of federal grants and funding… all these local agencies (schools, police departments, fire departments, street departments, etc) are clamoring for this federal money to pad their budgets- this federal money comes with strings attached (SURPRISE!). Cops do more drug raids and seat belt checks, schools do more ‘security’ measures, fire departments are at FEMAs beck and call, etc. This is an issue that local governments ignore, because they want the money.
