Black Felon Kills White Cop – Where are the Riots Now?

Posted 12 hours ago by Dave Jolly

In 2001, white Cincinnati police officer Steven Roach shot and killed Timothy Thomas, a 19 year old black teen. Police were in the process of executing an arrest warrant for Thomas when he tried to flee the scene. In the process, Roach shot Thomas as he believed the young man was reaching for gun in a dark alley. It turns out that Thomas wasn’t armed, and some believe he was merely trying to pull up his baggy pants. Riots broke out in Cincinnati for the next 4 days and tensions continued to boil for several years after.
In 2012, Sanford, Florida security guard George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old black teen. Martin was unarmed, but had physically attacked Zimmerman who tried to question him about being in that specific neighborhood at that time of night. Riots broke out all over the country. Whites were attacked and beat up all in the name of Trayvon, even though Zimmerman was Hispanic, not white. Martin had a police record, owned a set of burglary tools, had been expelled from school on several occasions and even posted that he wanted to fight someone, yet the black community blamed all whites for Martin’s death.

Earlier this year, Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson was trying to detain two black teens who matched the description of a convenience store robbery that had just occurred minutes earlier. One of the black teens was Michael Brown, who from the evidence attacked Wilson causing injuries to the officer’s face. Wilson tried to stop Brown and defend himself by shooting the teen four times in the right arm, but Brown kept attacking the officer. Finally Wilson shot Brown in the head, killing him instantly. Brown’s companion in crime told everyone that they were walking away when the white cop shot Brown in the back, but that story was soon proven to be false. However, weeks of riots erupted in Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis.
Black activists all over the nation have been chiming in, wanting Officer Wilson to be charged with the death of Brown. They don’t care about the facts that the officer was injured by the teen who was bigger than Wilson. Even Barack Obama and US Attorney General Eric Holder revealed their racist side in demanding swift justice and prosecution of police officer Darren Wilson. From the Black House, I mean White House, to the streets of Ferguson, blacks have already tried and convicted Wilson and are ready for his execution.
Troy, New York City Councilwoman Anastasia Robertson is another black racist that has been doing her part to cause racial violence against white police officers. She tried to get a crowd of blacks to charge a white police officer that was just talking to a black woman that was involved in a domestic violence case. In a post, Robertson said she wanted peace and reconciliation, but out on the street she stirs up racial violence.

But where is the outcry and protests over the death of a white police officer in Rochester, New York at the hands of a black felon?
Daryl Pierson, a 32 year old father of two and Afghanistan War veteran, was shot and killed by Thomas Johnson III, convicted felon who happens to be black. Johnson has an extensive criminal record that spans two states. He had violated parole and was sent back to jail, only to get paroled a second time less than a month before he allegedly shot and killed Pierson.
You didn’t hear about white crowds rioting and looting. You didn’t hear about white police officers rioting and demanding the rounding up and execution of blacks like Anastasia Robertson claimed was going to happen after Ferguson. You also didn’t hear about Pierson’s death on any of the liberal mainstream media news outlets. You didn’t hear of Eric Holder traveling to Rochester or sending in 40 FBI agents to investigate, either. Barack Obama was too busy formulating a plan to fight ISIS, oh wait, he said he had no plan at the time of Pierson’s murder. Pierson’s murder wasn’t even worth a visit by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

I want to know where Al Sharpton was at the time of Pierson’s murder. Why wasn’t he shouting out his racial hatred at the black man who killed the white cop? Doesn’t Sharpton and others like him constantly holler for equal treatment?
A black criminal killing a white cop is not racial enough to fuel the public outrage and riots that happens when a white cop kills a black person in the line of duty. There is a racial divide that is taking place in America, but it’s at the hands of the black community and people like Sharpton, Robertson, Holder and Obama.

Police Chief Accused of “Protecting & Serving” $50,000 Out of a Children’s Charity Fund
The Free Thought Project


The "Laliberte Toy Fund" was set up by a now deceased police officer, and in the entire time that the charity was running, only one single check for $250 was sent out to a needy family. Joseph Buffis, former police chief of Lee, Massachusetts has been accused of embezzling more than $50,000 from a holiday fund…


The “Laliberte Toy Fund” was set up by a now deceased police officer, and in the entire time that the charity was running, only one single check for $250 was sent out to a needy family.

Joseph Buffis, former police chief of Lee, Massachusetts has been accused of embezzling more than $50,000 from a holiday fund which was supposedly set up for underprivileged children.
Years ago, the “Laliberte Toy Fund” was set up by a now deceased police officer, and in the entire time that the charity was running, only one single check for $250 was sent out to a needy family, despite the fact that the account had taken in over $51,000.
Now the account is empty and there is significant evidence showing that Chief Buffis used the money on personal items.
Buffis is now facing twelve federal charges including wire fraud, mail fraud and money laundering. Many of these charges were added to his indictment this week, as an investigation into his transactions revealed deeper corruption.
It was discovered in the investigation that Buffis spent the money on his own personal bills, at a liquor store, and also a hardware store.
In addition to these charges, Buffis is also facing accusations of “extortion by wrongful use of fear”, because he allegedly forced suspects to put their personal money into this phony charity fund. On one occasion Buffis coerced two business owners into making a $4,000 “donation” to the Laliberte Toy Fund, which was eventually diverted to his own personal bank account.
However, Buffis has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges against him.
“We expected the new indictments. It wasn’t a surprise at all, now the case can really start moving forward. We can have our day in court. Joe can have his trial, present his defense and hopefully, as we expect, he will be found not guilty. He can restore his good name and the case will be behind him, finally,” Buffis’ attorney, Lori H. Levinson, told The Berkshire Eagle.

Buffis claims that he and other officers hand delivered gifts that were purchased through the fund, but prosecutors say that those toys were not purchased, but donated by people in the community.
Additionally, if toys were actually purchased with the money then there would have been a paper trail to prove this, but there are no records of any legitimate purchases through this account, aside from the one $250 check.
Buffis has another pretrial court appearance scheduled for Sept. 30, and he has remained free on bail since the accusations first surfaced last year.
Sadly this is the second incident this year in which a police officer has stolen money from a children’s charity. Officer Ronald Harris of the Memphis police department decided that he would ‘protect’ a family of a young girl from their bag filled with five t-shirts and a $1,500 pre-paid Visa check card from the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Police brutality or protecting a woman? That’s the debate in California right now. An investigator says a California State Trooper videotaped repeatedly punching a woman in the head on the side of a highway had actually just pulled her from oncoming traffic and that SHE pushed HIM. The report says the woman suffered a black eye and a bloody nose among other injuries. She has filed a federal lawsuit. The trooper was not injured.

No Corpse… You’re going to Jail Anyway

Posted by Rottdawg on Sep 13, 2014




In yet another episode of WTH is going on with law enforcement:
H/T Mass Live

A Connecticut man is in jail…

…after allegedly posting a photo to a social networking website said to be of him and a “decayed corpse.”

So his “friends” call the cops who investigate and determine…

the online post was indeed a hoax.

So instead of saying, “Sorry for the inconvenience sir, have a good day,” Mr. Mayo is in jail… For what you may ask?

Not finding the humor in the online post which prompted an emergency response, Mayo was charged with second-degree breach of peace. He was arrested and held in lieu of $250 bail waiting arraignment.

In conclusion, I must say that I find it pretty depressing that a neighbor or a friend could call the police and give them some information that piques their interest and the next thing you know you are in jail for no reason at all.

Where I used to live, the neighbors were dragging dead people in and out all the time, and I never called the cops… granted it was a funeral home. As a matter of fact right now I am watching a couple people hitting an egg of an endanger species around in my back yard with sticks… Never mind that’s the 18th green. In today’s world, an active imagination could land those poor golfers in jail.

Halloween is coming up, I hope that you keep this story in mind before you post any pictures to social media of you and you’re friends in costume. We don’t want any of our reader in jail for breaching the peace.

Cop Caught on Camera Savagely Beating His Girlfriend- Has Not Been Arrested

By Cassandra Rules on September 12, 2014

http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/clip/10571867/police-investigate-alleged-assault-by-hpd-officer-caught-on-video

“The knee jerk reaction from myself was that this guy needs to be arrested and brought to justice- as a police officer… but when you step back and you compose yourself and you think – what needs to be done…” Chief Louis Kealoha said in a press conference regarding the incident.

Sgt. Darren Cachola, an 18-year, newly promoted, veteran at the Honolulu police department is under investigation after a video was given to police of him savagely beating his girlfriend in the restaurant she manages.
In the video, the sergeant is seen attacking and repeatedly punching the woman as she moved from room to room, until coworkers came and put a stop to it before the police arrived.
The officer has not yet been arrested, and his coworkers who responded at the scene did not arrest Cachola or open any criminal case. They are currently under investigation, but have not been removed from duty.
Cachola’s girlfriend alleges that they were just playing around, however, this is not the first domestic violence complaint against the officer, Hawaii News Now reports.
The officers ex-wife, and mother of his children, filed two petitions for temporary restraining orders against him in 2002 and 2009. She also alleges he threatened to kill her if she went to police.
Cachola has been temporarily stripped of his police duties pending the investigation.

As we have previously reported-

Statistics show that 1 in 4 women in the US is a victim of domestic violence, those numbers jump to 1 in 2 if they are married to a cop.

Reporting domestic violence is scary, reporting domestic violence by your significant other to their coworkers and peers is even scarier, especially knowing how rare it is for an officer to cross the thin blue line against one of their own.

“Aside from the fear of violent retaliation, women abused by police can also have trepidation about costing their husbands their jobs and jeopardizing their own economic future,” Diane Wetendorf, who wrote the victim handbook, “Police Domestic Violence.” told SFGate.

The SFGate also reported that even advocates for battered women are reluctant to dive into domestic violence cases involving police for fear of alienating the agencies they rely upon for help in other abuse cases.

“Abusive police officers may use professional tactics of power and control in their intimate relationships. Not all abuse is physical violence. Lying, isolation, interrogation, surveillance and weapons are also used,” Wetendorf explains on her website, Abuse of Power.

The Power and Control Wheel from her website breaks down how officers may misuse their police training.

Canadian Government Warns Citizens To Not Carry Large Amounts Of Cash Into The US Due To Cash-hungry Cops

September 14, 2014

U.S. police are operating a co-ordinated scheme to seize as much of the public’s cash as they can By Neil Macdonald
On its official website, the Canadian government informs its citizens that “there is no limit to the amount of money that you may legally take into or out of the United States.” Nonetheless, it adds, banking in the U.S. can be difficult for non-residents, so Canadians shouldn’t carry large amounts of cash.

That last bit is excellent advice, but for an entirely different reason than the one Ottawa cites.
There’s a shakedown going on in the U.S., and the perps are in uniform.
Across America, law enforcement officers — from federal agents to state troopers right down to sheriffs in one-street backwaters — are operating a vast, co-ordinated scheme to grab as much of the public’s cash as they can; “hand over fist,” to use the words of one police trainer.
Roadside seizure

It usually starts on the road somewhere. An officer pulls you over for some minor infraction — changing lanes without proper signalling, following the car ahead too closely, straddling lanes. The offense is irrelevant.
Then the police officer wants to chat, asking questions about where you’re going, or where you came from, and why. He’ll peer into your car, then perhaps ask permission to search it, citing the need for vigilance against terrorist weaponry or drugs.

What he’s really looking for, though, is money.

‘Authorities claim it’s legal, but some prosecutors and judges have called it what it is: abuse. In any case, it’s a nasty American reality.’

And if you were foolish (or intimidated) enough to have consented to the search, and you’re carrying any significant amount of cash, you are now likely to lose it.

The officer will probably produce a waiver, saying that if you just sign over the money then the whole matter will just disappear, and you’ll be able to go on your way.

Refuse to sign it, and he may take the cash anyway, proclaiming it the probable proceeds of drugs or some other crime.

American shakedown: Police won't charge you, but they'll grab your money

Either way, you almost certainly won’t be charged with anything; the objective is to take your money, not burden the system.
You’ll have the right to seek its return in court, but of course that will mean big lawyer’s fees, and legally documenting exactly where the money came from. You will need to prove you are not a drug dealer or a terrorist.
It might take a year or two. And several trips back to the jurisdiction where you were pulled over. Sorry.
In places like Tijuana, police don’t make any pretense about this sort of thing. Here in the U.S., though, it’s dressed up in terms like “interdiction and forfeiture,” or “the equitable sharing program.”
Authorities claim it’s legal, but some prosecutors and judges have called it what it is: abuse.
In any case, it’s a nasty American reality.
Powers and justifications

Seizing suspected drug money has been legal here for decades, but after 9/11 police acquired a whole new set of powers and justifications. And they set about using them for profit.

'The Washington Post this week reported that in the past 13 years, there have been 61,998 cash seizures on roadways and elsewhere without use of search warrants. The total haul: $2.5 billion.'

The Washington Post this week reported that in the past 13 years, there have been 61,998 cash seizures on roadways and elsewhere without use of search warrants.
The total haul: $2.5 billion, divided pretty much equally between the U.S. government and state and local authorities (hence the Kafkaesque “equitable sharing” euphemism).
Half of the seizures, according to the Post, were below $8,800. Only a sixth of those who had money taken from them pursued its return.
Some, no doubt, were indeed drug dealers or money launderers and just walked away from the money. Others just couldn’t spare the expense and time of going to court.
Of those who did, though, nearly half got their money back, a statistic that fairly screams about the legitimacy of the seizures.
So does another fact: In many cases, authorities offer half the money back – money they’d claimed was proceeds of crime. And when they do issue a cheque, they almost always insist their victim sign a legal release promising never to sue.
It would also appear police like to target minorities, who tend to be cooperative and less likely to hire a lawyer.
Civil rights advocates have documented all sorts of outright legal theft:

• The (minority) businessman from Georgia who was relieved of $75,000 he’d raised from relatives to buy a restaurant in Louisiana.
• The (minority) church leaders who were carrying nearly $30,000 from their Baltimore parishioners to carry out church activities in North Carolina and El Salvador.
• The young college grad with no criminal record on his way to a job interview out West who was relieved of $2,500 lent to him by his dad for the trip.

News outlets here have reported many such abuses over the years. But the Washington Post’s latest investigation exposes money-grabbing as big business.
It involves a nationwide network of enforcement agencies (except in the few states that have banned it) that operates with the help of a vast private intelligence service called “Black Asphalt” (police forces pay an enrolment fee of $19.95). The network uses consultants and trainers who either charge fees or operate on contingency, keeping a percentage of cash seized by their police pupils.
Police forces use the money to finance their departmental budgets, sometimes spending it on luxury vehicles, first-class tickets to conferences, and lavish quarters. They regard the money as rightfully theirs. One prosecutor used seized cash to defend herself against a lawsuit brought by people whose cash she seized.
It’s just human nature, really.
Give police the legal ability to take someone’s money, and to claim it’s in the national interest, and then tell them they can keep a nice chunk of it, and what other result could there be?
Travel advice

So, for any law-abiding Canadian thinking about an American road trip, here’s some non-official advice:
Avoid long chats if you’re pulled over. Answer questions politely and concisely, then persistently ask if you are free to go.
Don’t leave litter on the vehicle floor, especially energy drink cans.
Don’t use air or breath fresheners; they could be interpreted as an attempt to mask the smell of drugs.
Don’t be too talkative. Don’t be too quiet. Try not to wear expensive designer clothes. Don’t have tinted windows.
And for heaven’s sake, don’t consent to a search if you are carrying a big roll of legitimate cash.
As the Canadian government notes, there is no law against carrying it here or any legal limit on how much you can carry. But if you’re on an American roadway with a full wallet, in the eyes of thousands of cash-hungry cops you’re a rolling ATM.

Cop on Tape: “You Must Be Doing Something Wrong if You Need to Invoke Your Rights”

Melissa Melton 10 hours ago


It has been upheld time and time and time and TIME again that the First Amendment protects one’s right to film police officers in public. Period.

That is it. End of story.

It is also not illegal to film locations from public property, even those that have been designated as “secure”. A sign is not a law and does not negate the Constitution. It just isn’t and it just doesn’t, despite an apparent effort to make it seem that way.

Now listen to what this cop says to these guys who recently decided to film prisoners being transported in and out of the Duval County, Florida courthouse’s sally port without identifying themselves:



“You must be doing something wrong if you need to invoke your rights.”

As The Free Thought Project wrote, just let that statement sink in for a minute…
Apparently this is the standard law enforcement mentality in the American police state. Sure, you have rights; if you invoke them however, “you must be doing something wrong…”

Cops Ran Over Cyclist Twice, Arrested Him As He Lay Dying

http://bit.ly/1qR61O7

Police in Quebec are investigating a brutal case in which witnesses claim that police officers trying to stop a bicyclist accidentally ran over the man twice and then handcuffed the bicyclist as he lay dying on the pavement.

On Wednesday, 48-year-old Guy Blouin died from injuries he suffered after he was run over by a police cruiser. Witnesses say police went to pull Blouin over for bicycling down the wrong way on a one-way street. As they attempted to pull him over, they accidentally ran him over.

“He went under the wheels,” a witness told the Toronto Sun. Then the cruiser shifted into drive and accidentally ran over the man again. “For an entire 15 seconds, he was under the tire in a fetal position,” another witness told Radio-Canada.

Witnesses say the man was lying on the ground spitting up blood and yelling “I’m hurt.”

Rather than aid the man, police pinned him against the ground and told him he was under arrest even though he hadn’t committed an arrestable offense in the first place.
