Police in sometime-U.S. ally Pakistan arrested a nine month old infant, along with his family, for an alleged assassination attempt on the cops who raided the family home. The cops went on to charge the infant with assault, claiming he pelting them with stones.

The baby also was visibly upset as his grandfather was made to hold his thumb to dip it in ink and put its print on the bail bonds, as the tot could not sign the documents himself. At other points the defendent was quieter, busy suckling on his pacifier and bottle. The perp is pictured above. Continue reading “Pakistan: Police Arrest 9-Month Old Infant on Murder Charges”

We can add Captain America: The Winter Soldier to the list of recent blockbuster films containing themes that are critical of America’s growing police state and war on terror. Other major films like Oblivion, Ender’s Game, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek: Into Darkness have all recently taken shots at these important issues, but none have packed quite the patriotic punch that Marvel’s symbolic fascism fighter has delivered in this new sequel.

On the Cop Block Facebook page, comments on this blog, and on my YouTube channel, and really anywhere you say anything negative about police in general, there is one common theme you can expect to hear from the voting cattle and government propagandabots. “You shouldn’t paint with such a broad brush, sure there are some bad cops out there, but most cops are good guys. Maybe not most, but some of them exist. Someday you might need a cop” or some variation thereof. Continue reading “The Myth of the Good Guy Cop”
