Sonoma County, CA — Last month, David Glen Ward was the victim of a carjacking. Like he was told to do, he reported this attack and theft to police. Sadly, however, after he would get his green Honda Civic back, police would mistake him for the thief, pull him over and kill him. Video of the incident was recently released.

According to officials, on Nov. 24, Ward reported he’d been the victim of a carjacking. During the theft, Ward was pistol whipped by his attacker, leaving him with injuries to the face. Three days after his car was stolen, Ward would recover it. Sadly, however, he would make a fatal mistake and forget to officially tell police he got his car back.

A police department’s therapy dog and resident Very Good Boy is feeling the holiday spirit this season — perhaps a little too much. Officers noticed the toys that’d been donated to the station were disappearing from the room they’d put them in and came to find out it was their furry friend, Benjamin Franklin, that was the culprit.  Continue reading “Police Dog Busted For Stealing Donated Toys In Adorable Video”

Many of us know that Israel is a corrupt society and that the corruption stems in large part from the gross, illegal, and interminable seven-decade oppression of the Palestinian minority both inside and outside Israel. There are of course many complicated reasons and analyses worth exploring regarding this subject (we’ll focus on one aspect in this post). And the corruption manifests itself in numerous ways throughout society. Continue reading “Israeli Anti-BDS Ministry Secretly Buys Media Coverage”

New York, NY — To all those who make the bogus claim of “if you don’t do anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about,” consider the following case as even more evidence of how ridiculous that assertion is. Two innocent brothers were framed by NYPD cops who were caught on video destroying video evidence of their egregious act. Luckily for the brothers, the hard drive in the video recorder survived and it caught these badged criminals in the act.  Continue reading “Cops Frame Innocent Brothers for Cocaine, Try to Destroy Video—But it Survived”

Honolulu, HI — This week, a sadistic Honolulu cop pleaded guilty to forcing a homeless man to lick a public urinal to avoid being kidnapped and thrown in a cage. What this case illustrates is the power-tripping barbarous behavior of many men and women who claim to ‘protect and serve.’

The incident unfolded earlier this year when Honolulu police officer John Rabago and another officer responded to a nuisance complaint of a homeless man in a public bathroom. When officers arrived on scene, they found the homeless man in a stall. Continue reading “Sadistic Cop Admits He Forced Homeless Man to Lick a Public Toilet to Avoid Arrest—NOT Fired”

Kentucky — On his way out of office, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin dropped a huge batch of pardons and commutations of sentences of hundreds of Kentuckians. While some of these people were rotting in jail for weed convictions or other victimless crimes, many of the pardons consisted of violent criminals and child rapists. Continue reading “KY Gov. Proudly Defends Decision to Pardon Multiple Convicted Child Rapists, Murderers”

Did you know that residents of Montgomery County, Maryland, are legally required to register their bicycles? Neither did Steve Silverman, who last June received a criminal citation for violating that requirement. In a video about that experience, Silverman, founder of Flex Your Rights, presents it as an example of how “police use ill-conceived laws to punish people who assert their rights.” While Silverman’s brush with the law was relatively mild as these things go, it does illustrate the problems posed by the myriad excuses that legislators give police for hassling people they deem insufficiently respectful.
