A divided Ohio Supreme Court on Thursday declared unconstitutional a law that made it illegal for police officers to have sex with minors simply on the basis of their profession. ...At issue was the 2012 conviction of former suburban Cleveland police officer Matthew Mole, who was accused of having sex with a 14-year-old boy he met on a hookup app...

--------------------------------------------------------------
The police scandal that has roiled Chicago for months entered a new phase last week when a Cook County judge appointed a special prosecutor to investigate the cover-up that followed the police execution of a black teenager two years ago. The lawyers who petitioned the court for an outside prosecutor argued persuasively that the state’s attorney’s office, which would ordinarily handle such a case, had been effectively captured by the Police Department and was incapable of handling the matter objectively.

...The lawyers who petitioned the court for a special prosecutor charged that in the course of what they described as a massive cover-up, officers had “intimidated witnesses, manufactured witness statements, destroyed evidence, prepared false police reports and may have provided false grand jury testimony” as part of an effort to portray the shooting as a heroic act of self-defense by a police officer in danger.

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department acknowledged Tuesday that a deputy shot and killed a black man who was mistakenly identified as a suspect in a carjacking, again bringing into question the appropriateness of a police agency's use of deadly force.

Donnell Thompson, 27, was shot at close range by a deputy riding in the turret of an armored vehicle...

From The Associated Press 10 August 2016:
---------------------------------------------------------------
A sheriff's deputy in South Carolina is suing a police association that offered legal defense benefits for law officers but refused to help a former North Charleston police officer charged with killing an unarmed black man.

The lawsuit seeks the return of the $23.50 monthly dues that some 40,000 officers paid to the Southern States Police Benevolent Association. It also seeks an unspecified amount of punitive damages.

...Slager's lawsuit says the association wrote him and said the policy had an exclusion clause and benefits would not be paid because the association had determined Slager "committed an intentional, deliberate and/or illegal act either civilly or criminally."

When lawsuits against the police are settled, like the one announced this week in which New York City agreed to pay $4 million to the family of Akai Gurley, people tend to focus on the amount of money changing hands. Sometimes overlooked are the institutional reforms embedded in the deals, and the difficult decisions made by plaintiffs and their lawyers in trading a full public airing of the facts for the recovery of damages. ...“Frequently, plaintiffs in these cases are badly damaged and want or even need compensation,” said Barry Scheck, a lawyer who helped negotiate the $9 million settlement for Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant who was sexually assaulted by the police with a broomstick inside a Brooklyn station house in 1997.

...Howard Hershenhorn, a lawyer who represented the family of Amadou Diallo, a Guinean immigrant who was shot 41 times by the police in 1999, said he “had no choice but to fully litigate the civil case” because the officers who had killed Mr. Diallo were acquitted and the story of his client’s death was never fully told.

Officer charged with excessive force.

article/video

"That's not what we're about!"

Well, it's obvious that it IS what you are about.

Excessive force... used by any member of any entity to exert influence over another without the person's direct permission and consent. Today's US Government is liable to have Excessive Force charges brought against it.

 

[dpr112yme]

All hate crimes can be grouped into this Excessive Force category.

Please get off that stuff you're smoking or drinking so you can sober up a little? please.

 

[dpr112yme]

I heard of a man who drank by the river side
Day in and day out
When morning came he was glad
to go to his favorite river side.

When the sun was not seen
and the dark began
the man would go back home
thinking of how a great day it had been.

day in and day out.

That was 3 years ago
Maybe more
To this day
He can be found at the same river side.

My question is this..... Why are there so many allusions to sex? Why is there this 'thing' about sex that needs to be so 'dark' that it needs to ONLY be revealed through subliminal ways? And why is there a 'need' to instruct all people about sexual acts? What is all this about SEX that everybody, seemingly, NEEDS to know about as if they do not know about it?? I really feel that when a person becomes of age, and after he or she leaves their parents' home, they will have more than enough time to explore different avenues of sex on their OWN doings. Why are these sorts of things being secretly planted in the minds of the children??? For what purpose??

So, no one can get upset if someone feels as if they are being 'violated' ....

I think any non-religious parent would feel the exact same way if they found religious subliminal messages on their kids shows...

How in the hell could this be?

After an outrageously long 11-month investigation into a 15-second incident that was caught on video, an ex-South Carolina cop will not be charged for grabbing a young girl by her neck while she was sitting in her classroom, yanking her out of the desk, tossing her across the room, then handcuffing her ... for having a cellphone in class.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why Colin Kaepernick is not standing for the “Star-Spangled Banner.”

This is why his teammate Eric Reid joined him.

This is why Jeremy Lane, who plays for the rival Seattle Seahawks, joined both of them.

During the Olympics, some have complained that politics should not enter into the game playing. And yet, here in the US, games are initiated with flag worship. If some want to worship a flag, they can build their own building outside a stadium, and set up a flag inside it and go worship it all they want. They can chant over it; fawn over it; and maybe even set up a set of rules on how to worship a flag. Leave the stadium for game playing.

If the olympics are not supposed to be political, then they shouldn't have been invented on a nationalistic basis.
