A US federal court has released new video footage showing California prison guards repeatedly spraying mentally ill inmates with pepper spray in an apparent attempt to convince the prisoners to take their medication.

California policy requires officers in the Department of Corrections to film all cell extractions. The footage in question was played in court in October as part of an inmate’s lawsuit seeking to halt the use of pepper spray against the growing mentally ill prison population.    Continue reading “Graphic court video shows prison guards deploying pepper spray on mentally ill inmate”

Los Angeles – The rapid police response to today’s deadly shooting at a terminal in the Los Angeles Int’l Airport (LAX) was no accident, according to LAX Police Chief Patrick Gannon, because his officers prepared for an event identical to the shooting weeks in advance.

“We practiced to this not more than 3 weeks ago,” said Gannon at a press conference hours after the shooting. “We took every one of our patrol officers and a couple hundred officers from the Los Angeles Police Department and we practiced the exact scenario we played out today.”   Continue reading “LAX Shooting: Police trained for ‘exact scenario’ 3 weeks ago”

My son was with the Police Department of a large southern California city for several years, and that certainly does not make me an authority on the subject of police departments, and having a number of friends in several other police organizations does about the same.  However, being ex-military, I do have some understanding of a “chain of command” and a hierarchy structure of authorities.     Continue reading “To The American Constabulary: Uphold THE Law of Our Land or Throw Down Your Badges”

The headlines are a blaze with suggestions that big money interests are about to go to war with the Tea Party and liberty minded Americans in the 2014 election cycle. We have lived through almost 5 years of the most corrupt Executive Administration and Congress in the history of our Republic and the best citizens can hope for is an election that may swing the balance of power from one corrupt party to another?

From Article 2, Section 4 of the United States Constitution: “The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”   Continue reading “Will Gullible Americans Tolerate Another Purchased Election?”

May I ask this question? Why is it that Americans don’t have the freedom to choose their own health insurance? I just don’t get it. Why must the liberal nanny state make decisions for us? We can make them ourselves, thank you very much. It’s like choosing a car, buying a home or investing in a stock. We can handle it.

So why must the government tell me and everyone else what we can and cannot buy?   Continue reading “Kudlow: Liberal entitlement-state dream is crumbling”

Rather than you watching television, it is they who are watching you! Verizon has recently patented a cable DVR box that will use audio and video to record and analyze what’s going on in your living room so that they can provide targeted ads in real time on the TV to suit what’s going on. Now, one reason may be advertising and marketing, but since they can listen and watch, just think, smile you may be on candid camera!  Continue reading “Cameras in Your Cable Box Watching You in Your Home Watching Television”

During Wednesday’s congressional testimony, a heated exchange occurred between Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius over one of the still-unexploded controversies in the ObamaCare law: the fact that ObamaCare’s so-called “robust” coverage is in reality your government forcing you to pay for coverage that includes expensive services millions will never need. Ellmers called Sebelius out specifically for forcing men to buy maternity coverage.   Continue reading “Sebelius: ‘Men Often Do Need Maternity Care’”
