However, according to Wikipedia, A parliamentary inquiry set up in the wake of the death of Ian Tomlinson, the girl who was shot, found that the Independent Police Complaints Commission “has neither the powers nor the resources that it needs to get to the truth when the integrity of the police is in doubt.”   Continue reading “Police Officer Accidentally Shoots 7-Year-Old Girl On School Trip to Police HQ”

Roseland, New Jersey – A group of police in Roseland, New Jersey recently filed a lawsuit against local Police Chief Richard McDonough.

In the lawsuit, the officers allege that the police chief is a  “megalomaniacal despot” who protected corrupt local government officials and fabricated false misconduct reports against officers who refused to participate in the corruption that exists in the department. The lawsuit also alleged that McDonough “used the department as his own personal playground.”   Continue reading “Police Chief in NJ Allegedly So Corrupt, Officers in the Dept are Suing Him for Being a “Despot””

For Pink Floyd, it will be with a collection of outtakes bearing the band’s epic psychedelic roots — but whose theme this time is not alienation, but continuity.

A potato genetically engineered to reduce the amounts of a potentially harmful ingredient in French fries and potato chips has been approved for commercial planting, the Department of Agriculture announced on Friday.

The potato’s DNA has been altered so that less of a chemical called acrylamide, which is suspected of causing cancer in people, is produced when the potato is fried.

The new potato also resists bruising, a characteristic long sought by potato growers and processors for financial reasons. Potatoes bruised during harvesting, shipping or storage can lose value or become unusable.   Continue reading “U.S.D.A. Approves Genetically Modified Potato”

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s frustrations over federal enforcement of the state’s border with Mexico spawned a movement nearly a decade ago to have local police confront illegal immigration. Now, the state’s experiment in immigration enforcement is falling apart in the courts.

A ruling Friday that struck down the state’s 2005 immigrant smuggling law marks the latest in a string of restrictions placed by the courts on Arizona’s effort to get local police to take action on people living in the U.S. illegally. The smuggling law, like similar state statutes, was tossed because a judge concluded it conflicted with the federal government’s immigration powers.   Continue reading “Another Arizona immigration law struck down”
