Handcuffed Man Tasered & Kicked In The Head Repeatedly By Cops While Pregnant Wife Watches

(UrbanWarfareChannel)   The Rehoboth Beach police officer, seen in this video tasering a man, has been placed on administrative leave.

The police chief says Cpl. Robert Whitman is on leave, while an internal investigation is conducted by Dover Police.

The man in the video, 34-year-old Jeremy Anderson of Mechanicsburg, Pa., says he didn’t deserve the treatment he received from the three officers.

He claims the entire ordeal started after he got into a verbal altercation with a hotel worker over a room key while vacationing in the Delaware city. Once police arrived, Anderson says they began to use a taser on him.

“He tased me in the chest,” he said. “I fell to the ground and he shot me with a dart in the back. He tased me multiple times in the spine.”

Anderson’s wife, Candace Brubaker, soon arrived and turned on her cellphone camera while begging the officers to stop.

“I was horrified,” said Brubaker. “You hear me in the video, I was simply horrified.”

Anderson was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and offensive touching of law enforcement. He spent two nights in jail before Brubaker posted a $7,000 bond. Once he was released and returned home, Anderson says he was told by doctors that he suffered a concussion.

“I have severe head pain, severe back pain and my nerves were freaking shot,” said Anderson.

The couple is demanding an apology from the city and the Rehoboth Police Department. They also want the officers seen in the video to be relieved of their duties.

“At this point it would not be fair to comment about what I think,” said Banks. “But we assure the Rehoboth Beach community that we take these things very seriously and every use of force will be followed up on.”

Banks says none of the officers in the video have been fired.

DOJ Broke It’s Own rules In AP Investigation

(RT)   Amid the Justice Department scandal, perhaps more than ever before, journalists and citizens are raising questions over the freedom of the Press. While details of the investigation remain murky, there are very clear guidelines when it comes to the Justice Department issuing subpoenas. These are standards the DOJ set for itself.

Florida quietly shortened yellow light standards & lengths, resulting in more red light camera tickets

(WTSP)   A subtle, but significant tweak to Florida’s rules regarding traffic signals has allowed local cities and counties to shorten yellow light intervals, resulting in millions of dollars in additional red light camera fines.

The 10 News Investigators discovered the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) quietly changed the state’s policy on yellow intervals in 2011, reducing the minimum below federal recommendations. The rule change was followed by engineers, both from FDOT and local municipalities, collaborating to shorten the length of yellow lights at key intersections, specifically those with red light cameras (RLCs).

While yellow light times were reduced by mere fractions of a second, research indicates a half-second reduction in the interval can double the number of RLC citations – and the revenue they create. The 10 News investigation stemmed from a December discovery of a dangerously short yellow light in Hernando County. After the story aired, the county promised to re-time all of its intersections, and the 10 News Investigators promised to dig into yellow light timing all across Tampa Bay.

Red light cameras generated more than $100 million in revenue last year in approximately 70 Florida communities, with 52.5 percent of the revenue going to the state. The rest is divided by cities, counties, and the camera companies. In 2013, the cameras are on pace to generate $120 million.

“Red light cameras are a for-profit business between cities and camera companies and the state,” said James Walker, executive director of the nonprofit National Motorists Association. “The (FDOT rule-change) was done, I believe, deliberately in order that more tickets would be given with yellows set deliberately too short.”

The National Motorists Association identifies itself as a grassroots group that’s been advocating for drivers since 1982. It fought the national 55 mph speed limit and is now campaigning against red light camera technology, contending the technology primarily targets safe drivers who are victims of short yellow lights or safely roll through right turns.

Susan Rice Honored With ‘Great American’ Award Night Before Benghazi Hearing

(BREITBART)   U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice was honored Tuesday night with the 2013 Louis E. Martin Great American Award.

The annual award, presented by The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, is given to “an exemplar of change, progress and willingness to take one for the team if circumstances require. (I may have made that last part up.)

Specifically, the organization is honoring Rice for ”her work in advancing U.S. interests, strengthening the world’s common security and prosperity, and promoting respect for human rights,” another press release states.

The evening gala and awards ceremony, which included Vice President Joe Biden, came the day before State Department whistleblowers testified at the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the terrorist attack that took place at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi last year.

Gregory Hicks, the highest ranking American diplomat in Libya after the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans last year, testified before Congress on Wednesday that he was “embarrassed”  by Rice’s claims.

Here is the exchange between South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy and Hicks about Susan Rice’s comments:

Gowdy: Fast forward, Mr. Hicks, to the Sunday talk shows with Ambassador Susan Rice. She blamed this attack on a video. In fact, she did it five different times. What is your reaction to that?Hicks: I was stunned. My jaw dropped. And I was embarrassed.

Gowdy: Did she talk to you before she went on the five Sunday talk shows?

Hicks: No, sir.

Gowdy: You were the highest ranking official in Libya at the time, correct?

Hicks: Yes.

Gowdy: And she did not bother to have a conversation with you before she went on national television?

Hicks: No, sir.

So what did Joey Choo Choo say about Susan Rice at the gala, one day before Hicks said he was stunned and embarrassed by her bogus anti-Islamic YouTube video story?

Rice has “the absolute, total, complete confidence of the president,” Biden said at a gala for the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, according to press reports. “When she speaks… no one wonders whether or not she is speaking for the president.” [emphasis added]

Wow.

Speaking of the president….where was he in all of this, anyway?

Florida Man Flees Seatbelt Stop on Foot, Cop Runs Him Over and Kills Him

(REASON)   A Volusia County Sheriffs deputy saw Marlon Brown driving without a seatbelt, and attempted to pull him over. When Brown kept driving, the deputy gave up pursuit while reporting a fleeing vehicle. Almost immediately, reports the Daytona Beach News-Journal, officers with the DeLand Police Department (the county and city share a dispatch system) said they’d spotted the vehicle and began their own pursuit. What happened next absolutely should not have:

Two DeLand police officers got behind the car as it headed west on Beresford Avenue. Brown did not stop and made a left turn on South Delaware Avenue, a dead-end street that ends near an empty lot. Brown stopped the car and ran from it, as one DeLand patrol car stopped behind Brown’s Toyota Camry. The other patrol car, driven by Officer Harris, drove past on the left of the other stopped patrol car and struck Brown, who was running, with the right front, Montes said.

Harris then ran over Brown, killing him on the spot, Montes said.

At the scene behind some apartment buildings at 901 S. Delaware Ave., tire tracks lead from the paved road into the empty lot for more than a hundred yards, running over bean plants and knocking down a chain link fence. This is where witness Sabrina Waldron said the car stopped on top of Brown.

Waldron said Brown’s car pulled along the woods and stopped.

“There was no need to run him down,” Waldron said. “After the car hit Marlon and landed on him the back end of it was up in the air.”

The Deland Police Department is refusing to comment on the case until the Florida Highway Patrol concludes its investigation. The only information it’s released at this point is that the officer who killed Brown, 25-year-old James Harris, has been on the job since August, has an otherwise clean record, and is now suspended. As for Brown: One explanation for his decision to not pull over may be that his license was suspended and he was on probation. But really: Chasing people over seatbelt violations? Isn’t that a bit much?

This incident–like the one Brian Doherty noted in which a NYPD patrol car pursuing a dirt bike slammed into it and killed one of the passengers–didn’t need to happen. But it seems DeLand police simply aren’t very good at chasing pedestrian suspects.

Down The Rabbit Hole w/ Popeye (05-08-2013) USCG 7th District Stand Down Debunked & CTTBS #10

(FEDERALJACK)   On this edition of DTRH Popeye starts off by debunking a story that went somewhat viral online about the United States Coast Guard Seventh District being put on an operational stand down. The story is false, and Popeye goes into detail as to why. Moving on he speaks about Bradley Manning and how he is forgotten about and left to rot although he is responsible for getting out the information about torture, civilian deaths in Iraq and more. See Something, Say Something…. Unless It’s War Crimes & Torture. He then gets into how the humanity is being kept apart by divisive labeling, and how the war on the family is evolving to keep pace with the times. He finishes off the first hr talking about the death of SEAL Team 6 and the fact that the family blames the government, at least partially, for the deaths of their loved ones. In hour two Popeye is joined by fellow radio show host and friend Johnny English for episode #10 of their ongoing mini-series CUTTING THROUGH THE BS.
