A California father of four died Wednesday shortly after a group of police allegedly beat him with batons as he lay defenseless on the sidewalk. Cops, before confiscating witness’ cameras, also reportedly unleashed a canine unit on him.

David Sal Silva, 33, allegedly resisted when police approached him to ask if he was who neighbors called about to complain of an intoxicated man in the area. The officers called for backup and, witnesses told the Bakersfield Californian, Silva was soon being beaten in the face and upper body by as many as nine policemen and their batons. At least one of the cops reportedly held a German Shepherd on a leash nearby.   Continue reading “California dad ‘begged for his life’ as police beat him to death – witnesses”

According to a new report, the United States government is now in fact the single largest buyer of malware in the world thanks to the shift to “offensive” cybersecurity and is leaving us all vulnerable in the process.

Speaking of the government’s new focus on offensive cybersecurity, former White House cybersecurity advisors Howard Schmidt and Richard Clarke both told Reuters that the government is putting so much emphasis on offensive measures that it ultimately leaves people in the U.S. at risk.   Continue reading “Report: US government now buys more malware than anyone else in the world”

When NYPD Chief Ray Kelly said “privacy was off the table” following the Boston bombing, we all knew this was a one-way “exchange.” It was always going to be average citizens losing out on their privacy. The NYPD would remain unaffected and continue to operate the way it has for years: behind the thin thick blue line of opacity.

Salon’s CJ Ciaramella takes a detailed look at the NYPD’s track record on Freedom of Information requests. The results are unsurprising. The public entities that demand the most from their constituents are often the most reluctant to give anything back.    Continue reading “NYPD Chief Ray Kelly And Mayor Bloomberg Still Think Privacy Is A Good Thing — Just Not YOUR Privacy”

Eating peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables from the Solanaceae plant familymight help to lower your risk of Parkinson’s disease, a new study suggests.

Published in the journal Annals of Neurology, researchers from the University of Washington found that the higher the consumption of vegetables in this plant family — especially peppers — the lower the risk of Parkinson’s disease. They noted that a possible reason for this is the nicotine that is naturally present in this plant family; nicotine and tobacco smoking has been shown in past research to be associated with decreased risk of Parkinson’s disease.   Continue reading “Nicotine In Peppers, Other Plants Linked With Lower Parkinson’s Risk: Study”
