The state of Minnesota has allowed hundreds of police officers to keep their law enforcement licenses even after being convicted of a crime, according to a Sunday report from the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

The Tribune investigated criminal convictions against Minnesota police officers since 1995 and found that of the 534 convicted officers, three-quarters were never disciplined by the state, four-fifths kept their licenses, and more than 140 are still cops. The Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), which handles law enforcement license removal, blames the inaction on disciplinary boards lacking jurisdiction over certain criminal convictions.   Continue reading “Nearly 150 Minnesota Police Officers Are Convicted Criminals”

As mayors of cities with large Puerto Rican populations continue to advocate for federal assistance to help with the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans who are expected to temporarily seek shelter with friends and families in the US, Florida Gov. Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency in Florida, allowing state agencies to take extraordinary measures to assist families that will soon be arriving in droves to cities like Orlando and Miami, both of which feature large Puerto Rican populations.

The Orlando Sentinel reports that Scott announced that disaster relief centers will be set up at Orlando International Airport and in Miami to help those seeking refuge in Florida.  Continue reading “Gov. Rick Scott Declares State Of Emergency As 100,000s Of Puerto Ricans Flee To Florida”

The first group of 1,250 mostly male Middle Eastern refugees is expected to soon arrive in the United States from Australia. The transfer of refugees comes after President Trump failed to shutter an Obama-era deal that could bring tens of thousands of the refugees’ family members to the U.S. in years to come.

President Barack Obama signed the Australian-U.S. refugee deal during his last months in office — promising to take 1,250 Middle Eastern refugees off Australia’s hands.   Continue reading “Report: Middle East Refugees to Begin Arriving to U.S. from Australia”

While there are still relatively few details about the man responsible for the deadliest mass shooting in US history, or his motive to kill at least 50 people and injure over 400 people, here is what we know so far, courtesy of the Telegraph and other public data sources.

The gunman responsible for the worst mass shooting in modern US history is believed to be a grandfather who lived in a remote desert home, reports Telegraph’s Leon Watson. Stephen Paddock, 64, was named by police as the perpetrator who left more than 50 dead. He was killed when officers blasted their way into his hotel room. Las Vegas police said they had located “numerous firearms within the room that he occupied.” Las Vegas Sheriff Lombardo said officers had confronted Paddock on the 32nd floor across the street from the concert. “There were at least 8 guns and a number of long rifles in the alleged shooter’s room”, per Las Vegas Police Undersheriff Kevin McMahill.   Continue reading “Who Was Las Vegas Shooter Stephen Paddock And What Was His Motive”

The Buffalo Police Department’s Strike Force and Housing units are the vanguard of Mayor Byron Brown’s campaign against the scourge of guns, drugs and gangs in Buffalo. But the tactics used by officers in the two units have come under fire by members of both the public and the legal community.

These squads are not like regular street cops, who typically respond to calls for service within their districts. Strike Force is deployed in high crime areas and conduct traffic checkpoints. The Housing Unit patrols the city’s public housing projects.   Continue reading “Investigative Post: Buffalo Police tactics described as ‘stalk and frisk’”

Toymaker Mattel Inc. has announced plans to sell a nursery gadget that will listen to infants and watch over them, record their sleep patterns, and even play a lullaby should they awaken.

Put another way: It eavesdrops on kids.

Skeptics are asking if the device, similar to Amazon.com’s Echo with its Alexa voice assistant, will violate children’s privacy and deepen a trend of surrendering intimate human connections to technology that talks and listens.   Continue reading “Mattel Gadget Listens to Babies, Setting Off Privacy Alarms”

A gunman turned a Las Vegas concert into a killing field Sunday night, murdering at least 50 people and injuring more than 400 others in the deadliest mass shooting in modern United States history.

The suspect, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, was identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, a resident of Mesquite. Police initially sought a woman believed to be Paddock’s roommate, Marilou Danley, as “person of interest.” Detectives later made contact with her, and “do not believe she is involved with the shooting on the strip.”   Continue reading “At least 50 dead, more than 400 hurt in Las Vegas concert attack”

Three years ago, Cody Wilson and his organization, Defense Distributed, released a $1,200 computer-numerically-controlled (CNC) mill called the Ghost Gunner. The machine essentially made home gunsmithing faster, cheaper, and more portable than ever before, but it had a limited scope (no pun intended). Initially, the Ghost Gunner only aimed (OK, maybe some pun intended) to complete unfinished lower receivers for AR-15 semi-automatic rifles.

Today, that scope widens: Wilson and Defense Distributed are now in the handgun business, too.   Continue reading “3D print a serial-free handgun at home with the latest Ghost Gunner update”

Dear Senator,
As long as you refuse to call out the heinous spraying of southern Oregon’s upper atmosphere and the manipulation to total control of the jet stream and all weather systems, you are no better than that sick Obama construct. Just what do you think is in all those hundreds of aerosol emissions, water vapor? Or have you been threatened along with every other person in the DC Swamp to look the other way? Do you actually know what metal nano-particles in the form of aerosols sprayed on public and private lands does to fire behavior? Well, Sir, it ACCELERATES that behavior!!!! So if you are speaking about necessary changes to the way the Forest Service fights historically unprecedented fire behavior you might take into account the total lack of regional thunderstorms over southern Oregon in the last 10+ freaking YEARS!!! Ingest these facts: that the drought in southern Oregon is man-made, that there are no more regional shoulder season wetting rain events, that fire behavior is off the charts and that those persistent “contrails” are loaded with chemicals which are making our land and citizens sick. Where is the formally pristine air shed over Crater Lake? Annihilated by hundreds of annual aersoling dumps!! You talk about “clean air”? What an effing joke!   Continue reading “Re: Federal Leviathan Harms Oregonians”

The Daily Sheeple – by Alex Thomas

A former Memphis police officer was recently arrested near the White House after police found a variety of weapons during a search in which the man openly claimed to work for the Central Intelligence Agency.

The man, Timothy J. Bates, was arrested last Sunday with an arsenal of firearms, including an assault rifle and a loaded AK-47. The weapons were found after Bates oddly allowed officers to search his car while ranting about a CIA microchip implanted in his head and the need for his paycheck which would presumably be for work he carried out for the agency. (If true)   Continue reading “FORMER POLICE OFFICER ARRESTED WITH MASSIVE ARSENAL NEAR WHITE HOUSE, CLAIMS HE WAS A CIA MK ULTRA ASSET”

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — The Danish military deployed troops in Copenhagen on Friday to guard the city’s synagogue and the Israeli embassy, hours ahead of the Yom Kippur Jewish holiday.

The deployment was the first by troops in the Danish capital since WWII.

The synagogue and the Israeli embassy have been under police protection since two deadly attacks in 2015.

An AFP correspondent at the scene saw armed soldiers standing outside Copenhagen’s main synagogue, with the narrow medieval street where it is located sealed off on both ends, hours before the start of Yom Kippur on Friday evening.   Continue reading “In First, Denmark Deploys Troops to Guard Synagogue, Israeli Embassy”
