I am getting really jealous of all the freedoms. Part 1. ------------------------- Police Beat Town Councilman Then Arrest Him For Assault You Tube Wednesday September 19, 2007 David Snyder talks about Friday's Roseland town council meeting WNDU News Wednesday September 19, 2007 Roseland town council member David Snyder is calling for the resignation of a town marshal after a fight at Friday night's meeting. Snyder says while he was being arrested, he became a victim of police brutality. He was released from jail Saturday afternoon, when a felony charge of battery of a police officer was dropped. The St. Joseph County prosecutor's office reviewed the police reports Saturday morning, dropped that charge but left two misdemeanor charges. That meant he could bond out of jail. Now heâs recovering at home. On that home, signs calling for the Snyders to leave still remain after vandalism months ago, and with those it may be a surprise to learn that some are actually "siding with the Snyders." But a wndu.com poll of close to four thousand people shows that more than half of the people thought town police went too far during the arrest. David Snyder said, âI'm a victim of a rogue cop a cop that should no longer be wearing a badge and he should no longer be on the streets. He is a danger to society. There were only two real witnesses to the fight. Snyder who was kicked out of the meeting who says, âIâm walking out of the conference room and Jack is breathing down my back and somebody yells at me to turn around and look at them. And I say to Jack âOh the bully is still whateverâ and he is just goes ballistic. Just ballistic and he shoves me shoves me through the door. I pass out and come to and he is pounding on me.â The other witness was Marshal Jack Tiller. NewsCenter 16 tried talking to him, but his wife answered the door. When we asked for his side of the story, she responded âWe'll you guys have smeared his name enough thank you.â And added the video does not show all that happened. Some say, such as council member Ted Penn who declined an on camera interview said in the time chaos erupted, David got a punch in. But David claims thatâs not the case and he is considering a lawsuit against the town. âI think that when someone is victimized and brutalized by a police officer that is a good potential,â Snyder added.â Snyder says he will have to appear in court in October.

Part 2 -------------------------------------------------------------- Wheelchair-Bound Woman Dies After Being Shocked With Taser 10 Times Local 6 Wednesday September 19, 2007 A Clay County woman's family said it's seeking justice after their loved one died shortly after being shocked 10 times with Taser guns during a confrontation with police. The family of 56-year-old Emily Delafield said it would take the Green Cove Springs Police Department to court, according to a WJXT-TV report. In April 2006, officers with the police department said they were called to a disturbance at a home in the 400 block of Harrison Street just before 5 p.m. (Article continues below) In a 911 call made to the Green Cove Springs, Delafield can be heard telling a dispatcher that she believed she was in danger: Dispatcher: And what's the problem? Delafield: My sister is waiting on my property. Dispatcher: Your what? Delafield: My sister (inaudible) is on my property trying to harm me. Officers said they arrived to find Delafield in a wheelchair, armed with two knives and a hammer. Police said the woman was swinging the weapons at family members and police. Within an hour of her call to 911, Delafield, a wheelchair-bound woman documented to have mental illness, was dead. Family attorney Rick Alexander said Delafield's death could have been prevented and that there are four things that jump out at him about the case. "One, she's in a wheelchair. Two, she's schizophrenic. Three, they're using a Taser on a person that's in a wheelchair, and then four is that they tasered her 10 times for a period of like two minutes," Alexander said. According to a police report, one of the officers used her Taser gun nine times for a total of 160 seconds and the other officer discharged his Taser gun once for a total of no more than five seconds. A medical examiner found Delafield died from hypertensive heart disease and cited the Taser gun shock as a contributing factor, the report said. On her death certificate, the medical examiner ruled Delafield's death a homicide. The family said it plans to sue the Green Coves Springs Police Department now that it has all the reports regarding their loved one's death. "We're going to try to compensate the estate and the family and try to get justice," Alexander said. He said he believes the evidence weighs heavily in favor of Delafield's family and that justice will be served. "I think that this evidence is going to show, along with some of the evidence we've collected outside of here, that there is no reason Emily Delafield should have died that day," Alexander said. He said he plans to file a notice to sue sometime before the end of the year.

Meyers Salt Lake Tribune Wednesday September 19, 2007 OREM - Betty Perry pleaded innocent Tuesday to charges she failed to water her lawn and resisted arrest when an officer attempted to cite her. Perry appeared in 4th District Court in Orem to enter her plea in a case prominent Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred described as a gross injustice. "Today, law enforcement in Orem has enshrined itself as the laughing stock of our country by prosecuting a 70-year-old great-grandmother for allegedly not watering her lawn," Allred said. "This ill-conceived action ensures Orem's law enforcement authorities first place in the [Guinness World Records] for stupidity." (Article continues below) Perry's next appearance will be on Oct. 11 for a pre-trial conference. In July, Perry was cited by Officer James Flygare of the police's Neighborhood Preservation Unit for failing to water her lawn. Perry refused to give her name to the officer and, when Flygare tried to stop her from going back inside her house, she reportedly tripped and injured her nose. She was arrested and taken to police station but released shortly afterwards. An investigation by the state Department of Public Safety cleared Flygare of any wrongdoing, and city officials pressed charges against Perry on the landscape violation, a class C misdemeanor, and interfering with a police officer, a class B misdemeanor. Allred, a high-profile Los Angeles attorney who has represented the family of Nicole Brown Simpson, O.J. Simpson's murdered wife, said she was there to provide support for Perry, whose criminal defense is being handled by M. Paige Benjamin, a Provo attorney.
why do childish-idiots do anything?! A unquenchable thrist for attention! Here's a fun activity boys-n-girls, go to foreign website and relentlessly (and mostly idiotically) bash that country! Hours and hours of fun and enjoyment to be had!
Haroki is a freedom lover. He's only protecting our freedoms by informing on those who hate our freedoms. I wonder if he's gay like the rest of 'em. Not that there is anything wrong with that. All the freedom fighters seem gay or engaged in some form of pedophilia. But then we always need to give a free pass to those protecting our freedoms. Protection of the motherland triumphs all else.
See, when you quote the psychos that I have on ignore, it just ruins the whole idea of the ignore feature... Thx....
..." Wolf's article "A Shocking Moment For Society" appeared on various internet sites this morning, and in it she states: There is a chapter in my new book, The End of America, entitled "Recast Criticism as âEspionage' and Dissent as âTreason,'" that conveys why this moment is the horrific harbinger it is. I argue that strategists using historical models to close down an open society start by using force on âundesirables,' âaliens,' âenemies of the state,' and those considered by mainstream civil society to be untouchable; in other times they were, of course, Jews, Gypsies, Communists, homosexuals. Then, once society has been acculturated to that use of force, the âblurring of the line' begins and the parameters of criminalized speech are extended - the definition of âterrorist' expanded - and the use of force begins to be deployed in HIGHLY VISIBLE, STRATEGIC and VISUALLY SHOCKING WAYS against people that others see and identify with as ordinary citizens. The first âtorture cellars' used by the SA, in Germany between 1931 and 1933 - even before the National Socialists gained control of the state, during the years when Germany was still a parliamentary democracy - were informal and widely publicized in the mainstream media. Few German citizens objected because those abused there were seen as âother' - even though the abuse was technically illegal. But then, after this escalation of the use of force was accepted by the population, students, journalists, opposition leaders, and clergy were similarly abused during their own arrests. Within six months dissent was stilled in Germany. What is the lesson for us from this and from other closing societies, some of them democracies? You can have a working Congress or Parliament; newspapers; human rights groups; even elections; but when ordinary people start to be hurt by the state for speaking out, dissent closes quickly and the shock chills opposition very, very fast. Once that happens, democracy has been so weakened that major tactical and strategic incursions - greater violations of democratic process - are far more likely. If there is dissent about the vote in Florida in this next presidential election - and the police are tasering voters' rights groups - we will still have an election. What we will not have is liberty. We have to understand what time it is. When the state starts to hurt people for asking questions, we can no longer operate on the leisurely time of a strong democracy - the âOh gosh how awful!' kind of time. It is time to take to the streets. It is time to confront those committing crimes against the Constitution. The window has now dropped several precipitous inches and once it is closed there is no opening it without great and sorrowful upheaval. "
