we call this justice here in the empire;

Stockton, CA — On an afternoon in Stockton, California, 16-year-old Joseph Lee “Joe” Green walked into a California Stop convenience store to purchase some candy for his little sister who was outside with their mother gassing up the car. However, Stockton police Officer Robert Johnson would make sure this would never happen by savagely beating and then kidnapping Green because he tried to use a damaged bill for his purchase.

This month, a San Joaquin County civil trial jury decided that Johnson used excessive force and violated several constitutional rights of this innocent child when he violently beat him for no apparent reason. Officer Bobby Wong was also found equally responsible for intentional infliction of emotional distress for not intervening to stop his partner.

According to Recordnet.com, the 12-person jury, after a week of testimony, agreed that Green proved his claims against Johnson of assault; battery; intentional infliction of emotional distress; violation of his 4th Amendment rights; making an arrest without probable cause; denial of medical care; violation of the Bane Act that protects him from threats, intimidation or coercion; malice, oppression or fraud.

The jury awarded nearly three-quarters of a million dollars to Green for his false arrest and violent beating. The beating originally took place on February 17, 2011 and it has taken Green and his family this long to see any semblance of justice. This was in spite of the fact that the entire ordeal was captured on the store’s surveillance system.

As KQED reports: ...........https://thefreethoughtproject.com/watch-cop-attacks-16yo-boy-knocks-his-teeth-out/

this exploration of unofficial 'official' crimes by the brits extends to the empire and you will find all sorts of criminal actions here in this exposure of how the empire operates;

The above is but a small sample of a large volume of evidence that has come to light in recent years that proves, beyond any reasonable doubt, that far from acting as a ‘peace-keeper’ during the conflict in Northern Ireland, the British state pursued a military strategy that actively sought to inflame sectarian divisions through the covert targeted killing of civilians on both sides of the religious divide. That strategy was, however, by no means limited to Northern Ireland, or to the British military high command.

Iraq’s ‘Civil War’ Problem

In March 2013, the UK Guardian newspaper published the results of a 15-month investigation by the Guardian and BBC Arabic. Euphemistically titled ‘James Steele: America’s mystery man in Iraq‘, the investigation presents damning evidence that, in the immediate aftermath of the US invasion of Iraq, the US government and military began to assemble a 10,000 strong ‘Shia militia’ that, under US command, would be used to do three things:

1. Kidnap, torture, murder and maim members of the Iraq resistance and those members of the Iraqi population that supported them.
2. Plants bombs that alternately targeted Sunni and Shia areas in an effort to divide the population and thereby any unified resistance to the US occupation.
3. Create the impression of a ‘civil war’ in Iraq that could be used by the US and allied governments and militaries to justify the continued occupation of Iraq for ‘peace-keeping’ purposes.

While the 50-minute documentary is proof enough that Rumsfeld, Cheney, General Petraeus, and all the other NeoCon warhawks and CIA monsters, consciously employed the services of former US Army Colonel James Steele in the organisation of death squads against the Iraqi grassroots resistance (a tactic that he, Steele, had used against resistance movements in South America in the 1970s and 90s), it panders to the official narrative that ‘sectarianism’ in Iraq was the root cause of the carnage that unfolded...........http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=201935

while cops all too frequently dishonor their oaths, at the same time there are perhaps an equal amount of times they are targets just for being cops;

White police officers lives don’t matter, unless an individual white police officer’s life can be used by the corporate media to attack the entire profession as hopelessly racist.

We all know the truth about white police and black criminals, with members of the corporate media still incredulous they do not go out on their beat with the stated of finding innocent black/brown bodies to target. [New Study Says White Police Officers Are Not More Likely To Shoot Minority Suspects, NPR, July 16, 2019]

White police officers have thankless jobs, each and every one knowing if they go out and duty and interact with the wrong black/brown person, their career could instantly turn out to be Darren Wilson-ed.

Or, they could also have the fate of Newport News Police Officer Katie Thyne. She was a 24-year-old white police officer, a mother of a two-year-old daughter.

No one will march in her memory. No one will dare threaten to burn down a city to avenge her death. She was a white police officer who was murdered by a black criminal (who should have been behind bars for his role in a bank robbery the federal government declined to prosecute).

Officer Thyne’s body cam horrifically captured her final moments, as her body was dragged by the car of the black man she was questioning.

One must wonder if this black criminal wasn’t prosecuted by the federal government out of some misguided belief too many blacks were in jail and criminal justice reform truly means being lenient on these unjustly arrested black/brown bodies..........https://www.amren.com/news/2020/02/her-name-is-katie-thyne-24-year-old-white-police-officer-murdered-by-black-career-criminal-feds-wouldnt-lock-up/

protect and serve is the slogan but read and watch this and you may begin to wonder, if you haven't a long time ago;

Bremerton, WA — A 15-year veteran special forces cop with the Bremerton Police Department was allowed to quietly resign this week amid allegations that he stole money during a drug raid in 2019. Despite clear video evidence of this cop committing a crime while on duty, Det. Jeffrey Inklebarger was not arrested and allowed to resign from the department before he was fired. 

According to the report, Inklebarger was part of a team serving a search warrant over drug operation allegations at a home in February 2019. As this hero cop kept society “safe” from people voluntarily exchanging and ingesting substances, he was robbing them. His blatant theft was captured on multiple hidden cameras inside the home.

After watching the cop rob him, the homeowner brought the video to the attention of Bremerton Police officials last month through his attorney and an investigation was opened. According to the incident report:

After viewing the video, the Bremerton Police Department took immediate action and Detective Inklebarger was placed on administrative leave. The Bremerton Police Department had no direct involvement in the criminal investigation. Detective Inklebarger was interviewed by Tacoma Police detectives on Friday, January 17, 2020. Tacoma Police investigators provided a preliminary briefing to Chief Burchett immediately following that interview. Detective Inklebarger was served with a notice of intended termination and Mr. Inklebarger resigned in lieu of termination on January 25, 2020.

After the incident, police themselves actually released the video in a show of transparency but they’ve yet to file any charges against this criminal cop. They have only released a statement claiming that this top cop stealing money on video doesn’t reflect the behavior of the rest of the department.

“We value the trust that the community has in the Bremerton Police Department and we will continue to work every day to earn and maintain that trust,” said Chief James Burchett. “Once we were made aware of the possible theft, we acted immediately. This was a betrayal of the oath of office and the law enforcement profession. Mr. Inklebarger’s actions do not reflect the values of the Bremerton Police Department nor are they representative of the ethical, hard working men and women of the Department.”...........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/video-clearly-catches-cop-stealing-cash-from-a-home-and-hes-not-arrested/261486

this writer, a former spook, cia like, tells us how the orange man's deal of the century isn't and what it would have meant for the palestinians. he goes on to show you how the empire is a criminal enterprise aided and joined in its crimes by the zionists;

Many interested parties have already weighed in on President Donald Trump’s “Deal of the Century.” Even though it sounds like a phrase that a used car dealer would use, the “Deal” is dead serious in that it effectively denies to the Palestinians in perpetuumany political entity that has attributes of genuine sovereignty. Israel, which has just postponed a vote to immediately annex some of its illegal settlements on the West Bank with the blessing of the White House, will completely surround the fragmented Palestinian holdings by virtue of the annexation of the entire Jordan River Valley. It is the Zionist dream of a Greater “Eretz” Israel from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea finally achieved. The empty shell swiss-cheese-like completely disarmed state of Palestine will have no authority over its borders and airspace, no means to defend itself and no right to manage its own water resources.

Within the territory granted to Palestinians by Trump there will remain Israeli settler enclaves guarded by soldiers and police. Israel will have total control over the entire West Bank. Millions of Palestinians under its control will de facto be stateless people without basic civil rights whose land will be stolen by settlers. They will be unable to travel even within their “state,” forced to pass through checkpoints, arrested and imprisoned for speech harming “public order” and jailed through indefinite “administrative detentions” without any charges or trial.

Gaza will be completely disarmed and connected to the West Bank by a tunnel controlled by Israel. Presumably, the Mediterranean will continue to be a restricted area for Gazan fishermen, patrolled by the Israeli navy with the offshore oil and gas reserves exploited by Israeli companies. In return for their complete surrender, the Palestinians will be required to express gratitude for being able to survive as helots in what will be largely an open-air outdoor prison. If they behave well, they may or may not get money doled out by Trump to Israel for distribution to the Palestinians as long as they keep quiet and smile as they writhe under the Israeli thumb........https://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/trump-green-lights-greater-israel/

buchanan speaks in this article about the results of hurricane trump and his arrival on 'our' political scene. those who know me are aware i have no use for the mango mussolini but in fighting this 'war' the dumocorps have only damaged themselves as the rethuglicans have been doing their own version of hari kari;

It has been a bad few days for the establishment, really bad.

In a 51-49 vote, the Senate refused to call witnesses in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump and agreed to end the trial Wednesday, with a near-certain majority vote to acquit the president of all charges.

As weekend polls show socialist Bernie Sanders surging into the lead for the nomination in the states of Iowa, New Hampshire and California, the sense of panic among Democratic Party elites is palpable.

Former Secretary of State and Joe Biden surrogate John Kerry was overheard Sunday at a Des Moines hotel talking of the “possibility of Bernie Sanders taking down the Democratic Party — down whole.”
