Utah Nurse Arrested for Refusing to Give Patient’s Blood to Police

Trump Reverses Restrictions on Military Hardware for Police

If I hadn't been highly suspicious of human motives before, then living in the olde America REALLY ramps up 'the anti'. Screw Trump. No..not literally ..that is so so sos obvious where THAT is coming from. Dare I say YOU had it coming !

MY question is did President Obama know the extent of NSA surveillance and was he just 'going with the flow' on that'! ?

The NSA inspector general's highly redacted chart showing privacy violations.

Timothy H. Edgar defended privacy as an ACLU lawyer

I am not remotely interested in taking sides. BUT: I am damned if YOU expect ME to condone what amounts to and has always allowed a consent to liberal Fascism that is nothing more than a Freudian rejoinder for the Right (ever seen a circle of dissent?)

I know the water...I'd be more than happy to drown. !

The Horrifying Effects of NYPD Ethnic Profiling on Innocent Muslim Americans

London Met Police

Me didn't realise how easy it was for such 'guardians' to get the better of themselves when I was doin' the recycling at 5am one morn before my Yoga class and was arrested/handcuffed/imprisoned albeit 30 sec away from my residence-my only crime: an empty tote bag (once full of newspapers) and the keys to my residence 20 secs away. They didn't even bother to check my residence! How may bullets would you have used to kill me U BASTARDS like Menezes if you had had the chance! F U!

The MET even tried to fake a cocaine test!  I've never done that in my life. ! Tried to make me sign a consent form at 5.30am that morning after a swab test. !  F U. You owe me mucho compensation.
And I will get it ! BASTARDS !!!!!

P.S. I know- I was very angry last night. Always think that it is better to get such things 'off one's chest' rather than let fester. This was back in 2010 or thereabouts. And I believe that 80% of law enforcers (at least in the Western world) are honest. Am I being too generous? But bad apples of 20% can cause a helluva lot of damage. It is one thing for a civilian 'bad apple' but one that is in uniform and a position of power!  It only takes one to blight all.

And I still believe Menezes was a whitewash. Highly Israeli trained marksmen needing to shoot over a half dozen bullets into their suspect within roughly a 15ft range in a small confined underground carriage. Don't insult our intelligence!
