Publisher's Note: This publication receives no financial support through advertising. Although shaken down, looted, and abused by corrupt government, area businesses remain unwilling to stand up. Locals are too gutless to donate financially, cowardly fearing retribution. For this publication to survive, national readers need to contribute. Liberty In Peril is, has been, and will always remain beholden to NO ONE. -- Precisely why there is no financial assistance. ... From day of launch and certainly a no-brainer to this very day, firmly resolved to walk away first rather than compromise principle. -- To the chagrin of many and delight of few. T.C. (5-7-13).

For new readers: Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

No matter what, no matter where, this publication will remain up and running. For it to remain centered here, however, financial and/or material support must be provided. Status quo, unsustainable. Time to step up. Now.

... Hey, Sheriff? Is it true Llano County Attorney Becky Lange has advised you to stay out of the "Berardi Property Rights Denial-Damage To Pace Arrow-Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764" fiasco? That right, Bill? Isn't that obstruction of justice? Also true your deputies have advised the Bolens to accept the status quo and not force the no-trespassing issue with Greene? If so, isn't that also obstruction and official oppression? When will you do your job, Bill? As an elected official, you answer to the public, forget? -- No honor? ... No honor at all? If the foregoing allegations are indeed true, didn't you swear an oath to uphold the law and Constitution? Why aren't you doing so? No guts?

Your deputy has been accused of abusing authority. What action have you taken other than ignore the complaint? Why aren't both Rodriguez and the County Attorney under criminal investigation? The County Attorney appears to be obstructing justice, accepting the word of Greene in lieu of two surveyor companies who strongly assert otherwise. Both the County Attorney and District Attorney have ignored complaints. Par for the course in Llano County, isn't it? Failed to do their jobs. No surprise there, right, Bill? Both receiving 'special consideration' up to and/or including a bribe from Greene? Regardless, clearly, no justice in Nazi Llano County. Bottom line? Desperate need for an outside criminal investigation. Conveniently, forget? This County is ruled by men, certainly not rule of law and the United States Constitution.

Precisely, why there is desperate need for a new federal agency whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, and prosecute criminal law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges in a special court whose only mandate would be to adjudicate such cases. Total independence. Until that happens, the criminal bastards who falsely believe they run and own this hell hole County will continue to do as they please.

Some salient quotes occurring later on in this edition vis a vis unfinished business County officials continue to ignore:

... "No justice. Precisely, why there is desperate need for a new federal agency whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, and prosecute corrupt, abusive, criminal officers, prosecutors, and judges in a special court that would adjudicate only these cases. Total independence. The only way to rein in these criminals, particularly the murderers in blue.

Sadly, the achingly clueless bastards in law enforcement don't need a legitimate reason to kill. Enjoy carte blanche to murder on the job. Nearly always, with impunity. ... Right, Sheriff? Sue the living shit out of the jackbooted motherf--kers, the department, and the city. Any officer engaged in, or threatening this kind of unnecessary violence needs to be criminally prosecuted. Not protected and coddled. Not put on paid leave, -- no more than a paid vacation. Not sent home without pay to catch up on his beauty sleep.

Firing is egregiously insufficient. How can the law enforcement community be trusted? No foreign power, no terrorist organization, not even the criminal element presents a greater threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties than the criminal jackbooted bastards in law enforcement. ... Right, Sheriff? Madam County Attorney? "Sonny Boy?"

These are extremely dangerous times for our formerly great country. ... Hear the rumble? An unwanted dreaded second American revolution catastrophically looming. -- As our legislators and other government officials figuratively 'fiddle while Rome burns.'

Not good enough. Nowhere near. Short of an unwanted dreaded second American revolution, only one way for these atrocities to end. Again, time for a new federal agency whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, prosecute corrupt, abusive, criminal officers, prosecutors, and judges in a special court whose sole function would be to adjudicate such cases. Total independence.

Local and state authorities are egregiously incapable of handling these cases. Tend to protect their own. ... Right, Sheriff? Goes with the territory, doesn't it, Bill? Precisely, why there is no faith or trust in your criminal jackbooted bastards. Local authorities here in Nazi Llano County have their heads figuratively, securely lodged so far up their clueless ass their eyeballs are turning inside out. Protect and coddle your clueless, out of control officers. Imagine that.

Unadulterated, blatant ongoing horse shit. ... Right, Bill? F--k these jackbooted bastards. Aren't worth a crap. Continually abrogate their oaths of office to protect and defend the United States Constitution. ... Right, Sheriff? Includes not only deputies, but the brass as well. No principles. No honor. Lying, conniving, abusive, murderous jackbooted thieving thugs. The American Civil Liberties Union needs to step up and represent the victims of abusive law enforcement.

To say nothing of innocent civilians all across our formerly great country who are victimized by abusive police. Need far better representation than a public defender. Forget? It's how the bastards in government line government coffers. All too often, looting the innocent. Those on the bottom of the food chain. ... Right, Sheriff?

No justice. The American Way. Nazi America. When is this shit finally going to end? All of it. Wake up, Sheriff. Again, where is dashcam video of the killing of Jeffrey Gray Wise, 52, of Austin by DPS and the Llano County Sheriff's Office? Three hundred eighty weeks, now. A goddamned disgrace.

Why are you still sitting on this information? What are you hiding, Sheriff? What is the identity of the officers who killed Wise? Too gutless to release this information to the public that pays your salary and that of your goons? Reportedly, there were three officers involved in the shooting. Who the hell are they?

When will the goddamned 'law' 'enforcement' community finally stop making excuses for engaging in outrageous criminal activity including blatant murder, violent assault, sexual assault, theft, drug trafficking, etc.? List can go on and on. Protecting its own no matter what it does or doesn't do? Convenient, isn't it, Sheriff? Again, no foreign power, no terrorist organization, not even the criminal element presents a greater threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties than all branches and levels of government, -- including law enforcement.

Corruption within law enforcement remains an existential threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties. So what else is new? ... Right, Bill? Same old duplicitous, aggressively stupid shit occurs right here in Nazi Llano County. ... Doesn't it, Sheriff?

Think it'll change any time soon? Don't hold your breath, readers. Not how things work in Nazi America, right, Sheriff? Highly reminiscent of how your goons operate though, isn't it, Bill? Forget? 'Stupid is as stupid does.' F--ked up is f--ked up no matter where, no matter how. Problem throughout all law enforcement.

Including right here in Nazi Llano County, right, Sheriff? Too many officers clearly have their heads securely lodged where the sun seldom shines. Egregious insanity continues to be perpetrated by the criminal jackbooted bastards in blue. Ongoing issue. All over our formerly great country.

Not just in Dallas as in the Guyger case, but all over the nation. No end to it. Surprised? Why? In today's increasingly national socialist climate anything goes, right, Bill? Live in a de facto fascist police-state, quickly transitioning to the Trump nazi's Fourth Reich. Certainly, a problem here in Nazi Llano County, isn't it, Sheriff? Your goons, however, aren't held accountable when they egregiously f--k up. Ever.

Precisely why you refuse to release information on your deputies to the long-suffering public? That is, employment history, criminal background, results of drug testing, etc.. ... Got to protect your criminal jackbooted thugs preying on the citizenry with virtual impunity, right, sir?

Equally pointedly, why hasn't Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 been held criminally accountable for egregious abuse of power involving denial of property rights to a Kingsland property owner? To say nothing of consequent resultant physical damage done to a motor home on that property. Why are you protecting this clueless son of a bitch, Sheriff?

Why hasn't he been prosecuted for official oppression? Where is financial compensation for the damage this jackbooted piece of human excrement is responsible for? Ferociously pointedly, why are the District Attorney and the County Attorney continuing to protect this jackbooted piece of shit? He and others like him present an exigent threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.

Equally to the point, why are your jackbooted pieces of human excrement refusing to enforce Berardi's property rights? Your goons have failed to take action against Theresa Ahrens when she tore down a no trespassing sign and barrier on Berardi's property. Have you, your goons, and/or Madam County Attorney been bribed by Johnny Greene?

Ahrens frequently drives all the way through Berardi's property. Coup de grace? When Berardi complained to Llano County Deputy Idle about the trespassing, the officer's response was insane. Said the Sheriff told him to tell Berardi since Ahrens believes she owns his property she can't be charged with trespassing. Perfect Catch-22, right, Sheriff? You're not fit for office, Bill. Bribed by Johnny Greene?

Why is Theresa Ahrens allowed by your goons to dictate what vehicles can and cannot be parked on Berardi's property? Ahrens claims she has proof the property belongs to her where the vehicle was parked. Has failed to produce it. Surveyors say otherwise. Back up Berardi. Yet, your jackbooted bastards refuse to enforce Berardi's property rights. Why? Somebody lining somebody's pockets, Sheriff?

Ms. Ahrens micro-mini portable 'house' is parked on an unused unmarked Llano County road. Imagine that. Madam County Attorney well-aware. Has done nothing. Shit squat. Egregiously ignored her oath of office. Someone bribing you, Becky? Lining your pockets, Counselor? Paying you not to sell the unused unmarked County road to Berardi? Doesn't the County want and need the sale money, to say nothing of the resultant tax income?

No question, County and State agencies remain determinedly, concertedly, achingly incapable of criminal investigation of their own. Precisely, why a new federal agency desperately needs to be created whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, prosecute corrupt, abusive, criminal officers, prosecutors, and judges in a special court whose sole function would be to adjudicate only such cases. Total independence. Certainly, go a long, long way to cleaning up this cess pool County. Rein in the outrageously corrupt, abusive, achingly inept, self-serving assholes who run and own this hell hole.

Sheriff, you falsely claim the Kingsland County Commissioner has the authority to resolve this ongoing property rights issue. Clearly, doesn't. You, Madam County Attorney, and "Sonny Boy" are certainly an egregious impediment, continue to determinedly stonewall. Someone's pockets are being lined. Again, where's financial compensation for the damage Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 is directly responsible for to the Pace Arrow? Why hasn't he been prosecuted for this damage, to say nothing of infringement of Berardi's property rights? -- Just getting started, Sheriff. Far more to come.

-- You're not doing your jobs, Sheriff. You've got a loose vicious dog problem in Kingsland, Bill. When will you and the troops finally do something about this ongoing issue? Certainly, a recurring problem on Skyline, particularly on occasion at the intersection of Odessa. Pedestrians, runners, and cyclists are at risk. Too busy lining County coffers with bogus tickets?"

... Hey, Sheriff? Reportedly, promote Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 to Sergeant? If true, yet another classic example of survival of the unfittest in the law enforcement community. Readers are reminded this is the very same idiot, clueless asshole responsible for thousands of dollars of damage to the Pace Arrow as reported in each edition of this publication. Far more to Kingsland property owner James Berardi in a property dispute. -- A dispute engineered by Johnny Greene, apparently financed by a bribe to the former County Attorney, current District Attorney, and Sheriff. A federal investigation of Llano County government and the aforementioned allegedly corrupt and abusive bastards in this ongoing fiasco is desperately needed. Tim Chorney.

Counselor:

The enclosed emails were sent to the Llano County Attorney and Sheriff, respectively, vis a vis the above matter. Remain unanswered. The County Attorney appears to be protecting and defending the deputy at behest of Kingsland property owner Johnny Greene. May have received some consideration from Greene up to and including a bribe. Are the County Attorney, Greene, and the Deputy under criminal investigation? If not, why not?

Re: Berardi Property Rights Denial-Damage To Pace Arrow-Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764

Counselor:

As you're well aware, we have an outrageously corrupt, abusive, achingly inept Llano County Sheriff's Office here in Nazi Llano County. Worse, you and your office aid and abet these SS jackbooted bastards in black. The issue at the moment is the same it's been the last six months.

How is it two surveyor companies, the Appraisal District, the Tax Office, the Precinct 3 Commissioner, even the goddamned Sheriff himself now states Kingsland resident James Berardi owns the lots in contention all these months?

Yet, you ludicrously assert that's not the County's legal position. It's not? Why not? You claim you're not a real estate expert. Rather than accept the advice of two surveyor companies, the Precinct 3 Commissioner, the Appraisal District, the Tax Office, and even the Sheriff himself, you've inexplicably chosen to follow the advice of property owner Johnny Greene, -- who conveniently happens to be reportedly in the oil industry.

Question to be asked. Could you have received any 'consideration' in return, -- up to and including a bribe? Only way to know for sure is for the District Attorney to conduct a criminal investigation. Apparently, there has been none. If not, why not?

Equally pointedly, why hasn't Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 been held criminally accountable for egregious abuse of power involving denial of property rights to this Kingsland property owner? To say nothing of consequent resultant physical damage done to a motor home on that property.

Our achingly useless, worthless, gutless Sheriff has ignored an email vis a vis the damage this jackbooted thug is responsible for. Interestingly, his fellow officers believe him to be an idiot. Yet, the Sheriff continued to defend this piece of human excrement until he realized this entire fiasco would not be swept under the carpet.

Rodriguez is indeed an idiot. Would you believe this piece of crap ordered the motor home to be moved on to an unmarked unused Llano County road? That motor home has indeed been moved back to where it was parked before Rodriguez forced it to be moved. Why hasn't the County paid for the cost of moving it back? To say nothing of the damage.

Equally pointedly, why is it the County has allowed Theresa Ahrens to park and live in her tiny cottage on that very same road? Why hasn't she been evicted by the County? Why was she assessed taxes on an adjacent improvement she doesn't own?

Why is it, Counselor, Johnny Greene is paying for the attorney retained by Ms. Ahrens? Is Greene attempting to make this all go away by bribery? Greene has also informed Berardi he is going to sue. For what? Has Greene lost his mind?

What about Wells who installed a $4500 septic system on a lot turns out he does not own as a result of Greene, an outrageously inept County, to say nothing of the Llano County Attorney who remains equally determinedly clueless?

How about Bolen who hasn't a pot to piss in, but was nonetheless f--ked over by Greene to say nothing of an egregiously inept County, to say nothing of you and your goddamned equally incompetent office?

None of this is going away, Counselor, -- any time soon. Will not be swept under the carpet as all the other crap going on in this hell hole County. Not a chance. Expect a full expose in this publication whether or not this outrageous fiasco finally gets resolved. Including full public exposure of both the Sheriff and his jackbooted thug.

Wake up, Sheriff. Again, where is dashcam video of the killing of Jeffrey Gray Wise, 52, of Austin by DPS and the Llano County Sheriff's Office? Three hundred eighty weeks, now. A goddamned disgrace. Why are you still sitting on this information? What are you hiding, Sheriff? What is the identity of the officers who killed Wise? Too gutless to release this information to the public that pays your salary and that of your goons? Reportedly, there were three officers involved in the shooting.

Who are they, Sheriff? Their past history? An ongoing investigation remains a lame bullshit excuse. How can you and your goons be trusted when you refuse to disclose information? Three hundred eighty weeks. Especially, your egregious failure to disclose the identity of the officers who pulled the trigger. To cover your sorry ass, Sheriff? Those of your thugs? The people have a right to know what happened, how it went down. You don't understand that, Sheriff? Sadly, clearly, you answer to no one. Including taxpayers. Especially, taxpayers.

Until you and your goons come clean, doubt will remain this was indeed a good shoot. The longer you drag your feet, the greater the doubt. Think not? Wake up. Your credibility has tanked. Isn't getting any better as this bullshit continues unabated. Three hundred eighty weeks. Still no identification of the officers involved ... Can't get your stories straight? In line? Discrepancy between LCSO and DPS? Wake up, Sheriff. The public no longer buys the bullshit. No longer trusts you. On this and many, many other issues. You have no credibility. Absolutely, none.

Readers, this is but one of about four other highly questionable killings by law enforcement in Llano County in the last decade or so. There was one within the City of Llano, another in a field near Fuzzy's Corner, Buchanan Dam, yet another in Point Tella, Buchanan Dam, still another in Tow. If there are any others I may have neglected to mention, kindly email.

It's time the public be fully informed. -- Know what we're dealing with here and how 'law' 'enforcement' operates in this hell hole County. If these jackbooted bastards are not reined in, the life lost could be many others courtesy of a law enforcement system that is no longer accountable to anyone. ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

The Sheriff seems to have no clue the people who pay him and his goons are entitled to know whom is killing whom and why. This shit always seems to be swept under the carpet. Ignored. The attitude of these jackbooted sons of bitches is trust us. They can't be. They've lied too many times. Refuse to be accountable to anyone. We live in a goddamned fascist police-state where law enforcement does as it pleases. Usually, with impunity. This has to change.

The Texas Rangers have become rubber stamp to atrocities committed by law enforcement. This also has to change. No one is holding law enforcement accountable any longer. No one. No one in state or federal government. This is precisely why Ferguson triggered such an uproar. There was no justice there. None here. None anywhere. Officers are abusive, corrupt, inept.

Falsely ticket and arrest the innocent to line County coffers. Court fees charged continue to be horrendous. -- Aren't taxpayers already looted to pay these costs? Aren't you not only double f--king those falsely accused, but taxpayers also hellaciously looted to pay the very same costs? Yet, the criminal bastards in power in Llano continue to pile on the fees. This is nothing more than goddamned bullshit. This money finds its way into the pockets of the corrupt, abusive bastards who falsely believe they run and own this hell hole.

Would you believe the last time the Sheriff's Office happened to be 'audited' during the Garrett regime, reportedly, auditors couldn't figure out what went where and why? Yet, surprise, surprise. Nothing was done. There has to be transparency. There is none. Why would these thieving bastards want any? ... Right, Sheriff? TL? How else could they so easily steal and loot with virtual impunity? Worse, this reinforces jackbooted power in this goddamned, godforsaken hell hole County.

The public has a right to know the histories of the Sheriff's goons. Clearly, the Sheriff doesn't think so. That is, where they came from. Why they left where they were. What is happening here is the Sheriff is using 'personnel matters' as a convenient excuse to deny the public access to the history of outrageously corrupt, abusive, inept officers who are no more than criminals themselves.

He's protecting his outrageously corrupt, abusive, inept jackbooted bastards. Worse, the standards imposed by sheriff's offices statewide with the exception of metropolitan counties are well below those of DPS and city police departments. Why? So the corruption, abuse, ineptness, and outright stealing can continue unabated? This has to change. ... Can't have that, can we? Sheriff? TL?

The public should understand Llano County authorities have it all sewn up. Did you know the Texas Attorney General does not have the authority to investigate and prosecute County authorities on his own? The District Attorney has to call for an investigation by the Texas Rangers. Then, the State can prosecute if it so chooses.

Consequently? Guess what? Nothing will happen. Nothing ever does. The goddamned corruption continues unabated until you, the public, pressure authorities. Precisely, why we all enjoy the 'best' government money can buy. Literally. Without question, the corrupt, abusive, inept sons of bitches are all bought and paid for. Firmly clamped to the taxpayer tit. Dependent on money looted from innocent citizens caught in their web. Phony fines and court costs cleverly designed to f--k the innocent and enrich the pieces of shit who falsely believe they run and own Llano County. Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

Interestingly, the former Sheriff and District Attorney were reportedly forced to retire after an outrageous scandal involving a drunk driving police officer from out of town. Including special treatment of the drunken son of a bitch that no other citizen caught doing the same would have been afforded. An honest, honorable Llano County Deputy suffered the consequences. Forget? Great officers do not last in this hell hole County. ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

With all ongoing abuse in this goddamned County, one thing remains for damned sure. We're just getting started, Sheriff. You will continue to be exposed for whom and what you and your corrupt, abusive, inept jackbooted bastards have become, truly are, not what you phonies purport to be, that is, how you continue to f--k over a public you've falsely sworn to protect and defend. -- Exposure, the only way short of an unwanted dreaded revolution to force desperately needed change in a goddamned fascist police-state. The Fourth Reich.

Have your jackbooted thugs been tested for steroids, Sheriff? If you've nothing to hide, Bill, release the results of all drug testing. 'Personnel matters?' Bullshit. Looted taxpayers have the right to know. They're footing the bill for all this goddamned corruption, abuse, ineptness. When will you and the boys end the shakedowns? Looting of the innocent to line County coffers? No honor at all?

Where are your swastika armbands, you fascist son of a bitch? You and your thugs remain out of uniform. Once again, Sheriff, and ad nauseum, did you and/or your goons pressure Schilling to exit the race? Did you steal the election? If so, an aggressively stupid, achingly gutless public gets what it truly deserves. One of the most corrupt, abusive, inept 'law' 'enforcement' agencies in our formerly great country.

While the business and church communities stood tall during the recent Kingsland flood catastrophe, there was one glaring exception. On 10-17-18, the Antlers Coffee Shop closed due to storm-related failure of the Kingsland water system. Patrons, however, are routinely allowed to get online outside even when the shop is closed.

A long-term coffee shop customer entered the hotel lobby to ask the desk clerk whether wifi was still up and running after the catastrophe. She said it was and told the patron he could get online inside the closed shop. She then asked him to have another regular customer who had just arrived outside to come in and get out of the cold as well.

Antlers co-proprietor Rick apparently quickly got wind of both customers, made quite a jackass of himself emulating the petulant narcissist currently occupying the Oval Office. Aggressive stupidity at a time the Kingsland business community is indeed suffering, can least afford it. Further proof positive of the old adage 'can fix ignorant, can't fix stupid.'

Why would, why should both customers put up with this? Think this hasn't happened to others?

Highly reminiscent of our outrageously bought and paid for judiciary, Llano County prosecutors, Sheriff Bill Blackburn and his criminal SS jackbooted bastards in black who continue to egregiously disgrace themselves and the badge, do as they please regardless of the law and Constitution, carefully consider the following. It's appalling. Runs against the grain of everything our formerly great country once stood for. No longer.

The carnage never ends. ABC News reports:

"The Department of Justice is investigating whether law enforcement in Memphis, Tennessee, engaged in "discriminatory policing," including in how it conducted traffic stops, in the wake of the death of Tyre Nichols earlier this year, officials said Thursday. The Memphis Police Department intends to cooperate with the probe, also known as a pattern or practice investigation, the DOJ said in a news release. "The tragic death of Tyre Nichols created enormous pain in the Memphis community and across the country," U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. "The Justice Department is launching this investigation to examine serious allegations that the City of Memphis and the Memphis Police Department engage in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional conduct and discriminatory policing based on race, including a dangerously aggressive approach to traffic enforcement," Garland continued. "We are committed to working cooperatively with local officials, police, and community members to conduct the thorough and comprehensive review that the residents of Memphis deserve."

What took so long? Why all the foot dragging?

"The DOJ previously launched a review of the Memphis Police Department's use-of-force and de-escalation policies at the request of Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland and Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn J. Davis. The review is being conducted by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, and a report will be released once it is completed. Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Civil Rights Division made clear the new probe being launched has a "different purpose" than the COPS review. "This federal civil rights investigation will examine whether police violated the Constitution or federal civil rights laws in a systemic way," Clarke said at a news conference in Memphis alongside Kevin Ritz, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee. Strickland vowed the city will be a "good partner in this new inquiry" but noted his disappointment that "my request was not granted by the Department of Justice to discuss this step before a decision was made to move down this path." "I hope the remainder of the process is more forthright and inclusive than it has been so far," Strickland added in his statement."

Sounds like you're talking out both sides your ass, Mr. Mayor.

"Davis added that the MPD will "continue to fully cooperate and work closely with the Department of Justice (DOJ) as its members conduct this next phase of their investigation" and that she is "committed to building and maintaining public trust with the citizens of Memphis."

Hopefully, you do precisely that, Chief.

"As we have said all along, all MPD officers are expected to act in accordance with their oath of office, their training, and department policies at all times. While the officers involved in the Tyre Nichols case demonstrated no regard for these tenets, I am appreciative of the MPD officers that continue to serve our city with integrity," she said in her statement."

Hopefully, that's true, Chief, and not some empty, hollow, meaningless rhetoric.

"Attorneys for Nichols' family said Thursday the DOJ "heard their cries for accountability." "Actions such as this will continue to show that the federal government will not let corruption within police departments take the lives of innocent Americans," attorneys Ben Crump and Atonio Romanucci said in a statement. "It is our hope that the investigation by the DOJ, under the leadership of Attorney General Garland and Assistant Attorney General Clarke, will provide a transparent account of the abuses of power we have seen and continue to see in Memphis."

The Nichols case has been covered repeatedly in this publication and elsewhere. Readers will recall:

"Nichols, 29, died three days after he was beaten by officers during a Jan. 7 traffic stop in Memphis. Footage of the altercation shows officers striking Nichols repeatedly. The official autopsy showed he "died of brain injuries from blunt force trauma," the district attorney's office told Nichols' family in May. Seven Memphis Police Department officers have been fired for their roles in the arrest. Five of them have been charged with second-degree murder in connection with Nichols' death. The Memphis Police Department also deactivated its Street Crimes Operation to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhoods Unit, or SCORPION Unit, the controversial MPD unit at the center of Nichols' death."

NPR reports:

"The Justice Department has launched an investigation into Memphis and its police department for its use of force, searches and arrests and potential discriminatory policing. Officials for the DOJ announced the launch of the civil inquiry Thursday saying the goal of the pattern or practice investigation was to find out if there are systemic violations of the Constitution or federal law by the Memphis Police Department. "Every person is entitled to constitutional and non-discriminatory policing in our country," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said in a statement. "Based on an extensive review of publicly available information and information provided to us, there are grounds to open this investigation now." She said this information included reports that Memphis police officers made racially discriminatory stops of Black people for minor violations. "The Justice Department will conduct a thorough and objective investigation into allegations of unlawful discrimination and Fourth Amendment violations. Unlawful policing undermines community trust, which is essential to public safety," she said. This all comes more than seven months after the death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, who was beaten by officers from the Memphis Police Department. After his death a federal criminal civil rights investigation was launched into the Memphis Police Department and the five officers charged in his murder. This new pattern or practice investigation is separate from that case."

Readers will recall:

"Nichols was stopped by Memphis police for what they called reckless driving. According to initial police reports, officers said Nichols fled the scene but eventually was taken into custody after two "confrontations" with officers. Body camera footage and surveillance videos later revealed Nichols suffered a brutal beating by officers. Five officers involved were fired and charged with murder."

Cowardly fail to financially and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk? Get what you truly deserve. Forfeiture of liberty. At the hands of outrageously corrupt and abusive government.

In follow-up to another case of extreme abuse covered here and elsewhere, ABC News reports:

"A 23-year-old truck driver who was attacked by an Ohio police dog while trying to surrender with his hands up, broke his silence about the horrific ordeal Thursday night, telling ABC News, "I just didn't want to die." Jadarrius Rose, 23, of Memphis, Tennessee, spoke out about the July 4 incident on a central Ohio highway one day after the K-9 officer Rose alleged sicced his dog on him was fired from the Circleville, Ohio, Police Department. The former officer, 29-year-old Ryan Speakman, was terminated from the force after an investigation by the Circleville Police Use of Force Review Board prompted police officials to conclude he "did not meet the standards and expectations we hold for our police officers," according to a statement the agency released on Wednesday. National civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is now representing Rose, told ABC News that the incident, which was caught on police body-camera video, harkened back to the 1960s Civil Rights Movement when police dogs were let loose on non-violent protesters. "We have to say, we will not tolerate this. We won’t go back to the days where they’re siccing dogs on unarmed Black people," Crump said."

Get this:

"Rose's encounter with the police dog came after he led state troopers on a three-county chase, officials said. The pursuit unfolded when the Ohio State Highway Police attempted to pull Rose over for missing a mudflap on his trailer, according to an incident report. Rose said he was on his cellphone speaking with his mother, Carla Jones, when he noticed state troopers in his side mirrors trying to pull him over. He was about 30 miles from his destination after traveling more than 600 miles when the incident unfolded. “I was on the phone with my mom and I said, 'What should I do?' So, she told me to pull over if you know you didn’t do nothing wrong," Rose said. Rose said that when he initially stopped, he saw police in his mirrors with their guns drawn, including one pointing an AR-15 rifle. He said he decided to pull away, hung up on his mother and called 911. “I was just hoping that they would be able to help me," he said of the 911 dispatcher who answered his call. "I wanted to get out. I hadn’t committed a crime. It’s not like I murdered somebody, and they got their guns ready to shoot me," Rose told ABC News. “I just didn’t want to die. That’s what was going through my mind. I just didn’t want to die. That’s why I called them for help." During the pursuit, police placed spike strips in the road in front of him that blew out his tires. He said on several occasions he feared troopers were going to run him off the road. He said he was still on the phone with the 911 dispatcher when he finally exited his truck to surrender. “It was like 10, 12 people with guns and they had them pointed right at me, and I just was walking directly to the guy that was telling me to come to him," Rose said. Then he saw the Circleville K-9 officer and his dog racing across the grassy center median toward him. "I didn’t know what to do. So, I just stopped because I didn’t want to make a bad move or anything like that," Rose said. As the dog was let loose and charged toward him, Rose got on his knees and put his hands up, according to police body-camera footage released of the incident. A state trooper could be heard in the body camera footage repeatedly yelling at Speakman, the K-9 officer, "Do not release the dog with his hands up." "I was defenseless," Rose said. "If I would have tried to defend myself, that would have given them more reason to shoot me. I just wanted my life."

Sad, isn't it? Gets worse. Get this:

"He said that even after the police dog's teeth dug into his left arm, it did not appear that the police officers rushed to get the animal off him immediately. He said he directly pleaded with the dog to let him go. "I had to tell the dog to stop," Rose said. "I asked the dog, 'Please stop. It hurts' and he finally let go." Rose was treated at a hospital and later booked at the Ross County, Ohio, Jail on charges of failure to comply, a fourth-degree felony, according to the highway police. Carla Jones said she didn't speak to her son again until after he was taken into custody. "I’m grateful that my son is still alive," Jones told ABC News. Rose said he has watched the body-camera video of the arrest multiple times. "I cried a few times because I know that what I was telling my family was true, none of it was a lie," Rose said. "It was all true. Like the police will try to do anything to make it seem like the so-called suspect was lying." Rose added that watching the video made him feel "heartbroken."

All this resulting from a missing mud flap on his truck trailer.

"Moving forward, Crump said, "Justice for Jadarrius is trying to make sure that officers who sic dogs on unarmed Black people are held accountable." "Imagine the psychological trauma and the mental anguish that Black people go through in America when sirens and flashing lights come on behind them. That's what the Jadarrius Rose video represents to every Black person in America, the fear of being the next hashtag." Crump said Rose is still facing criminal charges. "They are going to claim that because he was missing a mudflap they have these rights to draw 20 guns on him," Crump said."

Readers will recall:

"Speakman was fired after the Circleville Police Use of Force Review Board investigated the attack and submitted its report to the city officials. The officer was let go despite the review board concluding that the "department's policy for the use of canines was followed in the apprehension and arrest." "It's important to understand that the Review Board is charged only with determining whether an employee's actions in the use of force incident were within department policies and procedures," the Circleville police statement said. "The Review Board does not have the authority to recommend discipline." The Circleville police statement did not comment on the fate of the police dog."

Why no transparency?

Get this:

"Prior to Speakman's termination on Wednesday, Circleville Mayor Donald McIlroy told ABC News on Monday that Speakman, the K-9 officer, was put on paid administrative leave on July 20 and his dog was put in a kennel. Asked by ABC News if he was aware of any disciplinary action taken against Speakman in the past, McIlroy said, "Yes." He directed ABC News to the city's human resources department to file a public records request, but the file has not yet been released."

Why no transparency?

"Efforts by ABC News to reach Speakman for comment have not been successful."

Surprised?

The bullshit never ends:

"Tom Austin, executive director of the Ohio Patrolman's Benevolent Association, said in a statement released Wednesday following the announcement of Speakman's firing that the union's senior lawyer, Joseph Hegedus, has filed an official grievance with the city of Circleville contending the officer was terminated "without just cause." In the grievance, Hegedus wrote that the officer's firing is "contrary to mandatory principles of progressive discipline" and is a violation of the union's collective bargaining agreement. The grievance asked that Speakman's termination be rescinded and that he be reimbursed for "wages, seniority and benefits lost." Hegedus also asked that Speakman's termination be expunged from his personnel records."

Goddamned outrageous.

"Despite the firing of Speakman, the central Ohio Black Lives Matter organization said it is moving forward with a protest at noon on Saturday outside the Circleville Police headquarters. In a statement Wednesday to ABC News, the BLM group said more than 1,100 people plan to participate in the protest."

For damned good reason.

"The BLM group is also calling for the dog that attacked Rose to be retired, asking for Circleville Police Chief Shawn Baer to resign or be fired and that all charges against Rose be dropped. The organization is also asking that race sensitivity training be provided to all Circleville police officers and that the police department's budget be cut by 50%. Baer could not be reached for comment on Wednesday. "In the wake of the termination of former officer Ryan Speakman from the Circleville Police Department, our resolve for justice has only grown stronger," the group said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. The BLM group said it is calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the incident, adding, "We firmly believe that [an] indictment is necessary."

No question.

NBC News reports:

"A man who was attacked by a police dog in Ohio as he was trying to surrender says that he was afraid for his life and that it was fear that initially kept him from stopping his vehicle when officials attempted a traffic stop. “I just didn’t want to lose my life or lose my arm,” Jadarrius Rose told NBC News’ Tom Llamas on “Top Story with Tom Llamas” on Thursday. Rose, 23, had his hands up when the dog attacked him after a vehicle pursuit July 4, according to an Ohio State Highway Patrol report and body camera video. Body camera video appears to show a highway patrol trooper yelling “Do not release the dog with his hands up!” before a Circleville police officer releases the dog. The officer, Ryan Speakman, has been fired, the police department said Wednesday.

"Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the family, said in Thursday's interview that what happened on the roadside in Ohio was reminiscent of abuses that occurred during the Civil Rights Movement. Rose "was on his knees, putting his hands in the air, which is the universal sign of surrender," Crump said. “What more can a Black person do to say that ‘I’m not putting you in fear'?" Crump said Rose had called 911 saying he was afraid police would kill him. Audio released by police showed that a dispatcher instructed the caller to roll down his window and that the caller replied: "I did that the last time and all of them had their guns pointed at me. You think I feel safe?"

NBC News reports:

"The Ohio police officer who was fired after releasing a police dog on a Black man with his hands raised appeared to defend his actions in the immediate aftermath of the incident, according to new body camera footage. The video, which was captured by fired Circleville Police Department Officer Ryan Speakman's body camera, shows the moment Speakman unleashed the police dog on Jadarrius Rose, who was pulled over on July 4 because his semi-truck was missing a mud flap. In the footage, Speakman can be seen arriving on the scene and immediately shouting "get on the f------ ground or I'm gonna send the dog" as he gets out of his police vehicle and unloads the dog from the back of the car. "You're gonna get the f------ dog sic. Get on the ground or you're gonna get bit," he shouts. He warns Rose two more times before saying, "Final chance, you're gonna get bit" and unleashing the dog."

Think this jackbooted son of a bitch fit to wear the uniform?

"The police dog can be seen biting into Rose's arm as the 23-year-old screams: "Please, get it off me.” Rose also appears to shout that he plays football as he implores authorities to call off the dog. It appears to take authorities over half a minute to remove the dog and Rose can be seen crying out in pain shortly after, with his arm visibly bloodied. In separate video released by the State Highway Patrol, Rose could be seen in front of troopers with his hands in the air before Speakman released the dog. A trooper could also be heard repeatedly warning the officer not to release the animal. “Do not release the dog with his hands up!” a trooper is heard yelling multiple times before the dog is released. It is not clear whether Speakman hears the trooper. Following the incident, Speakman can be heard appearing to defend his decision to release the K-9. "I don't know why they seem, like, pissed off at me," Speakman can be heard telling another officer, who responds: "I don't know." "He didn't comply," Speakman says. "I gave him three commands. I told him, 'Final warning. If you don't get on the ground you're going to get the dog.'" "I don't know why they seem mad at me for," he says. "He wasn't complying. I mean, am I wrong?" "No," the colleague responds."

Think things will ever truly change? Clearly, these sons of bitches get their cookies off abusing the shit out of their victims. Think this shit doesn't go on here in Llano County? ... Right, Sheriff?

"Police announced last month, weeks after the incident, that Speakman had been fired. “Officer Speakman did not meet the standards and expectations we hold for our police officers. Officer Speakman has been terminated from the department, effective immediately,” the statement said. The Circleville Police Department did not immediately respond to a request on Tuesday for more information on Speakman's dismissal."

Surprised?

"The White House last month called the video tragic and disturbing. “Our hearts go out to Jadarrius Rose and his loved ones," said Robyn Patterson, an assistant press secretary. "The president has been clear about the urgent need for Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to strengthen public safety by promoting accountability and increasing trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve."

Hard to believe that will truly make a difference. Abuse perpetrated by the jackbooted bastards in blue seems too well-entrenched in the outrageously corrupt and abusive law enforcement community. ... Right, Sheriff?

Think the following doesn't effectively amount to 'legalized' murder? ABC News reports:

"Manslaughter charges against seven Oklahoma police officers involved in three fatal shootings have been dropped, officials announced on Friday. All of the incidents occurred in 2020. In one of the cases, five officers had been charged in the deadly shooting of a 15-year-old robbery suspect. Oklahoma County District Attorney Vicki Behenna said her office has decided to dismiss the charges after a team of attorneys spent "hundreds of hours" reviewing the cases. "This is not just a quick spur-of-the-moment decision. This was a very difficult, very fact-intensive decision and review," Behenna told reporters during a press briefing."

Think so? Believe the bullshit?

"One of the shootings occurred in The Village, Oklahoma, in July 2020. Cpl. Chance Avery, an officer with the Village Police Department, was charged with first-degree manslaughter and second-degree murder after he shot and killed 49-year-old Christopher Poor during a domestic incident inside Poor's home. Body camera footage showed Avery repeatedly telling Poor to drop a bat, then firing as Poor advanced toward him."

The jackbooted bastard couldn't have used a stun gun or baton to defend himself?

"The other two incidents occurred in Oklahoma City. Five Oklahoma City Police Department officers were charged with first-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of 15-year-old Stavian Rodriguez in November 2020 -- Corey Adams; Jared Barton; Bradley Pemberton; Bethany Sears; and John Skuta. The officers had responded to a report of an armed robbery at a gas station. Security camera footage released by the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office in the wake of the shooting showed Rodriguez emerge from the convenience store building as officers yelled for him to show his hands, lay on the ground and drop his firearm. Rodriguez could be seen dropping a gun on the ground and reaching toward his back pocket before the officers opened fire."

Jesus Christ. 'Shoot first, ask questions later.' Gutless sons of bitches in uniform.

"Another Oklahoma City police officer -- Sgt. Clifford Holman -- was charged with first-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of 60-year-old Bennie Edwards in December 2020. During a confrontation with officers, Edwards, who had a history of mental illness, refused to drop a knife and was running away when he was shot in the back, officials said."

Jesus Christ. Shot in the back. What a gutless piece of shit unfit to wear the uniform. Couldn't have used a stun gun or baton to make the arrest and/or defend himself? Readers are reminded unarmed U.S. Marines are trained to disarm someone with a knife or bayonet.

The following is no more than galling, callous, disingenuous bullshit:

"I want to make sure that all of us are respectful of the families of the individuals that lost their life," Behenna said on Friday. "These families are grieving. This decision that has been made is difficult. And no matter what this office does or says, these families are forever changed."

The following is also no more than galling, callous, disingenuous bullshit:

"The Village Police Department said they "strongly agree" with the district attorney's decision to dismiss the charge against Avery. "We view any loss of life as a tragedy and understand the grief of the family who lost someone," the department said in a statement. "We also know the burden on our officer and his family has been heavy for the last three years." Oklahoma City Police Chief Wade Gourley also reacted to the district attorney's decision in a statement on social media, calling it an "arduous and lengthy journey." "The wheels of justice often turn slow and today's decision, while important, will not by itself ease the pain for the families and friends of Bennie Edwards and Stavian Rodriguez; the deep-rooted effect on our community; nor the profound emotional toll on the involved officers and their families," Gourley said in the statement. "Please continue to pray for everyone involved."

What a goddamned disgrace.

"Rand Eddy, an attorney representing Stavian's family in a federal civil case over the shooting, told ABC Oklahoma City affiliate KOCO that his mother is "devastated" by Friday's news. "She mentioned to me that she feels as if she did on the day that her son was shot and killed," Eddy told the station."

Nazi justice in a de facto fascist police-state. Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

In follow-up to another egregious case covered here and elsewhere, ABC News reports:

"A Colorado police officer on trial for placing a handcuffed woman in a patrol car parked on train tracks that was then struck by a freight train was found guilty of two misdemeanors. Fort Lupton police officer Jordan Steinke was charged with attempted reckless manslaughter, a felony, and two misdemeanors -- reckless endangerment and third-degree assault -- in connection with the September 2022 incident, which left the woman severely injured."

This outrageously clueless officer was protected and coddled by the 'judge:'

"Judge Timothy Kerns found Steinke not guilty of attempted reckless manslaughter, saying the court did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer "knowingly intended to harm" Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, the victim. But Kerns said Steinke did disregard "what she consciously observed," citing the presence of railroad tracks and signs on the highway, in explaining his guilty verdict in the misdemeanors. Kerns read his verdict in the Weld County courtroom on Friday. Steinke had waived her right to a jury trial, so Kerns decided the case."

Protected and coddled by the goddamned 'judge,' clearly in the pocket of the clueless officer.

"Steinke wept in court as the judge explained his verdict. Her sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 15. Her attorney requested an immediate sentencing on her behalf, though prosecutors said Rios-Gonzalez, who observed the verdict remotely, wanted to attend the sentencing in person."

Readers will recall:

"Steinke and a Platteville police officer were investigating a road rage incident when they pulled over Rios-Gonzalez on Sept. 16, 2022. Steinke placed Rios-Gonzalez handcuffed in the back of the Platteville police cruiser, which was parked on train tracks. A short time later, a freight train plowed into the vehicle. The horrifying collision was captured by police body and dash cameras, with the footage later released by the Platteville, Colorado, Police Department. Rios-Gonzalez, 21, suffered a fractured tibia, broken arm, nine broken ribs and a fractured sternum in the incident, her attorney told "Good Morning America" last year. During the trial, prosecutors argued that Steinke knew the police cruiser was parked on train tracks but disregarded the obvious risk. "At the time she elected to place Yareni Rios-Gonzalez in the Platteville patrol car parked on the railroad tracks instead of her own patrol unit that was safely parked to the west of the railroad tracks," Weld County Deputy District Attorney Lacy Vells said in court this week. The defense, meanwhile, contended there was no intent to harm and the incident was a "horrific" accident. "Officer Steinke was not trying to harm Miss Rios-Gonzalez," defense attorney Mallory Revel said in closing arguments on Thursday. "To the contrary, this accident has haunted officer Steinke every single day since it occurred. It was a horrific accident."

What a crock of shit. Gets worse. Get this:

"Steinke took the stand on Tuesday, telling the court that she saw the railroad tracks but did not "perceive" the fact that the location was a railroad crossing. She said she did not see any reflective signs or gates indicating a railroad crossing at the time of the incident. "It was incredibly dark. I was miles outside of my jurisdiction," Steinke told the court. "I was fairly certain that that particular stop was going to end in a gun fight. I never in a million years thought a train was going to come plowing through my scene." She claimed she would not have put Rios-Gonzalez in the vehicle if she knew it was parked on train tracks and that she had "trusted" that the Platteville police officer's vehicle "was in a secure location at that time."

This officer is too clueless to wear the uniform. The 'judge' protected and coddled her. No justice.

"The Platteville officer, Pablo Vazquez, has also been charged with reckless endangerment, among other counts, in the incident. His case is ongoing."

Think he won't wind up protected and coddled?

"Rios-Gonzalez is also suing police over her treatment. One of the attorneys representing her in the civil case, Chris Ponce, pushed back against the defense's argument ahead of the verdict and said the situation was not stressful. "Their defense is that this situation was so stressful to this officer that she simply did not notice that the train tracks were there," Ponce told Denver ABC affiliate KMGH. "It's our opinion -- again, as we've stated in documents that we've filed publicly -- that is just not true. It's simply not true. The train tracks were obvious." Ponce told the station his client would respect and accept whatever verdict is reached in the criminal proceedings. Rios-Gonzalez also faced charges stemming from the road rage incident prior to police pulling her over. She entered a no-contest plea earlier this month to misdemeanor menacing, according to The Association Press. She will avoid jail time if she follows the conditions of her deferred sentence, KMGH reported."

Think law enforcement will ever smarten up? NBC News reports:

"The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is investigating after a deputy threw a transgender man to the ground, punched him and held him down as the man called for help. During the encounter, which was caught on recently released surveillance video, the man could be heard telling the deputy that he couldn’t breathe and at one point said, “You’re going to kill me.” Emmett Brock, 24, told NBC News he was driving home from his job as a teacher in February when he passed a deputy who appeared to be having a heated conversation with a woman on the side of the road. Brock said he gave the deputy the middle finger as he drove by, and that a patrol vehicle started following him, but the deputy never turned on the vehicle’s sirens or lights. He said the vehicle tailgated him through several blocks of a residential neighborhood, so he called 911 to ask if he was being pulled over even though there were no lights or sirens. “I was told if there were no lights and sirens, then I wasn’t being pulled over and could continue to where I was going,” Brock said. Brock pulled into a 7-Eleven in Whittier, a Los Angeles suburb, and Deputy Joseph Benza parked behind Brock’s vehicle, according to video from the store’s security cameras that Tom Beck, Brock’s attorney, provided to NBC News. Brock exited his vehicle and, as he closed his car door, Benza said, “I stopped you,” the video shows. Brock responded, “No, you didn’t,” with the knowledge that he had called 911 to check, he said. But then he said the deputy’s hands were on him, and he immediately panicked and thought, “I’m going to die.” Benza grabbed him, threw him to the ground and then held Brock for three minutes while repeatedly punching him in the head, the video shows."

Clearly, how the jackbooted bastards get their cookies off. ... This time, for giving the bastard the finger. How about that? Gets worse:

“You’re going to kill me,” Brock is heard yelling. “You’re going to f---ing kill me. Help! Help! Help! I’m not resisting!” Brock said he’s 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs 115 pounds, and he estimated Benza is about 6 feet tall and 180 pounds. “His entire body weight is on top of me, and he flipped me over and threw me on my head,” Brock said, adding that his glasses broke immediately. “I’ve never even been in a fight, I’ve never had a speeding ticket, nothing like that. So I’ve never been punched before, and to have these full-force blows from behind from this deputy that is so much bigger than me, it was just, there’s no way I’m getting out of this alive.” After the struggle, Benza arrested Brock and put him in the patrol vehicle."

For what? Giving the bastard the finger?

The officer is a liar:

"Benza said he pulled Brock over because there was an object hanging from his rearview mirror, and it appeared to obstruct the driver’s forward view in violation of a California code, according to an arrest report Beck provided to NBC News. Benza wrote in the arrest report that he activated “my patrol vehicle overhead lights, which include a fixed forward-facing red lamp,” though the overhead lights were not on when Benza pulled into the 7-Eleven parking lot behind Brock, the video shows."

Clearly, the bastard is a liar.

"Benza wrote that he got out of his car and told Brock he “stopped (detained) him,” Brock said he didn’t, and “it appeared he was about to walk away from the car and myself.” He added that Brock’s “rejection of my traffic detention and his apparent intent to distance himself from his vehicle further raised safety concerns.” “I know from my training and experience that those who possess contraband items inside vehicles commonly attempt to disassociate themselves from their vehicles when law enforcement is present,” Benza wrote."

You had no probable cause to stop this man. You continue to lie to protect your sorry jackbooted ass.

"Benza added that he feared Brock was going to punch him and that Brock “continuously tried to bite” him. He said he punched Brock “approximately eight times in rapid succession.” “My punches had their intended effect,” Benza wrote, adding that Brock subsequently stopped trying to bite him and wrapped his arms around his own head. Benza did not reply to a request for comment."

The victim here is not the jackbooted bastard who initiated the violence. The video remains proof.

This department has a history of abuse. Has no credibility:

"The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in an emailed statement that it “takes all use of force incidents seriously.” “The Department is investigating the information and allegations brought forward by Mr. Brock and his attorney,” the statement said. “Unfortunately, we cannot comment any further at this time due to the pending litigation in this matter.”

No transparency. To protect and coddle the jackbooted bastard responsible for the violence.

"Brock was booked at the Norwalk Sheriff’s Station, which is part of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, where he said he told staff he is transgender. “And the jailer began to just badger me with questions,” Brock said, including, “So, you’re actually a woman?” and “Do you have a penis? If you don’t have a penis, then you’re definitely a woman.” “I’m seeing him get angrier and angrier every time I deny that I’m a woman,” Brock said. He feared the jail would increase his bail if he argued, so he decided to just nod his head and say “OK.” He added that the gender markers on all of his identity documents say male."

Gets worse. Get this:

"The male jail employee then brought in a female employee who told Brock she was going to need to “see everything,” Brock recalled. So she brought him to a nearby bathroom and he showed her his genitals and explained what surgeries he has had and the effects of testosterone before being placed in a women’s holding cell. “I’m not sure what I could have shown her on my body that would have been enough for them,” Brock said. “I just felt so demeaned. I felt humiliated. I felt small. Here are these police officers, these sheriff’s deputies telling you to do something while you’re in their custody, and if you don’t want to make it worse for yourself, and you don’t want your bail to be higher and you don’t want to be stuck there longer, you have to comply with anything they say. You are completely powerless.”

... As intended in a de facto fascist police-state, democratic republic in name only. Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"The sheriff’s department did not respond to questions regarding Brock’s allegations."

Surprised? No transparency. Moreover? Not possible to credibly defend the indefensible.

"Brock said he was booked on three felony charges of mayhem, resisting arrest and obstruction, along with a misdemeanor charge of failure to obey a police officer. He said he lost his teaching job three days later due to the pending charges and is still unemployed. He said his girlfriend and his parents have been supporting him, but that he is also accruing debt. Prosecutors have since decided to pursue two misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and battery on an officer, according to arrest records. Brock said he has anxiety every time he drives his car, because he fears someone from the sheriff’s department will know the make and model of his car and pull him over. The arrest also took one of his greatest sources of fulfillment: his job. He worked as a 12th grade English teacher at an alternative school for at-risk youth. “That was my self-worth. That’s where I got my fulfillment in life, was helping others, teaching these students and being there for them,” he said. “So when I lost that I just, that was my happiness, and it’s been a lot of depression and hopelessness.” He said people have asked him if he regrets giving the deputy the middle finger as he drove by, but he said he doesn’t. “I felt like that’s what I could do in that moment to stand up for that woman,” he said, adding that the deputy appeared to be harassing the woman. “I regret that he reacted so poorly and so angrily and then he beat me for that. But I don’t regret expressing my First Amendment right.”

Sue the living shit out of the officer, department, and the county.

No end to the abuse. NBC News reports:

"Texas police held a Black family at gunpoint earlier this month after a typo lead police to wrongly believe their car was stolen. During the incident, an officer admitted to identifying the family's license as being from Arizona, rather than their home state of Arkansas. The incident, which unfolded on July 23 in Frisco, Texas, was captured on multiple officers' body cameras. The emotional footage, released Saturday, shows several members of the Frisco Police Department demanding the family — who identified themselves as husband, wife, their son and nephew — exit the car. They identified the boys as 12 and 13 years old. An officer also pointed his gun at at least one of the children and handcuffed him, according to the footage. At one point, the officer who ran the family's plates admits her error. “It looks like I made a mistake. So I ran it ‘AZ’ for Arizona instead of ‘AR,’ and that’s what happened,” she says, according to the footage."

Here are the consequences of this error and resultant abuse which indeed amounted to terror for these victims of color:

"Later, the husband becomes emotional and says: “It could’ve went all wrong for us though.” “If I would’ve went to reach for my phone, we could’ve all got killed,” he says, before walking away sobbing."

Media needs to interview these victims as soon as possible:

"NBC News was not immediately able to identify or reach the family members involved in the incident."

Not surprisingly, but most clearly disingenuously:

"In a statement released Friday, Frisco Police Chief David Shilson said the department “made a mistake” and “will not hide from its mistakes.” “Instead, we will learn from them,” Shilson said. “The officer involved quickly accepted responsibility for what happened, which speaks to integrity.”

Not good enough, Chief. Nowhere near. Why was this family held at gunpoint? What was the exigent threat justifying this? Why was one of the kids handcuffed? It's not the error that was made that's the problem, sir. It's the outrageously aggressive behavior of these officers prior to their realization that a mistake had indeed been made.

"Body camera footage from the officer — who later admitted to incorrectly identifying the license plate — shows police with their guns raised, demanding members of the family exit their car on the Dallas North Tollway. Officers had closed down the southbound lanes while responding to the incident, according to information released by the Frisco Police Department. The mother and her son exited the car while the father and nephew remained inside, according to the footage. Body camera footage from another officer at the scene shows officers forcing one of the children to walk backwards from the car with his hands raised as at least one officer points a gun at him. After exiting, the mother, who was driving the car tells the officer that she is from Little Rock, Arkansas, has always had that registration for that car, and has "never been in trouble a day in my life," according to the footage from the officer who made the typo. The mother also informs officers that there's a gun locked in her glove compartment and that she's licensed to carry a gun."

The following remains no more than jackbooted nazism. Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter. The following is outrageous:

"The mother then looks over towards her son, and asks, “Is he in cuffs? This is very traumatizing," according to the video. “Why is my baby in cuffs?” she wails. “What are y’all doing?” “They’re just detaining him, it doesn’t mean anything,” the officer responds. “No,” the woman yells, prompting the officer to tell her to “stop” four times. Soon after, the officer walks away from the woman, appears to spend a few seconds checking something in the police vehicle and then approaches another officer and says, "I don't understand." The other officer asks, "Did you not run that out of Arkansas?" The officer responds, "I did — AR." Body camera footage then shows the officer explaining the situation to the husband, whose name is muted on the footage, and one of the boys, whose face is blurred. "I ran your tag, it came back to, associated essentially with no vehicle," the officer told the man. "So I confirmed it with my dispatch — I'm like, 'That's weird,'" the officer says. Soon after, the footage appears to feature another police officer saying in the background, “She ran it out of the wrong state." The officer who made the typo protests and says, "AR, AR is Arkansas, correct?" Appearing to look at the officer's initial computer search in the cruiser, another officer responds: "It's Arizona though. It's not Arizona." "Oh, I see what you're saying," the officer responds. "That's on me." Body camera footage shows a different officer informing another officer — who still had his gun pointed toward the car with the husband and nephew inside — of the mistake. The officers then put their guns down, and four officers approach the car, none of whom made the error."

Why not? Didn't she have the guts to do so at this time with the other four officers?

This family was clearly terrorized by these officers:

"Listen bro, we just here for a basketball tournament," the husband tells police as one of the boys cries in the back of the car. "We just learned, right now, that's why we stopped," an officer responds. "Don't do this to my son, bro," the husband wails. After the husband and boy get out of the car, footage from an officer at the scene shows him explaining the mistake to the young boy who was crying in the back of the car, saying, "We're so sorry you had to go through that." The rest of the footage shows officers repeatedly apologizing to the family and the officer who made incorrectly identified the plate admitting the error. A family member appears to say, “It’s fine.” The officer responds: “It’s not fine, and whatever happens to me, I’ll deal with that.” The officer also tells the wife, who had been driving the car: "This is all my fault. I apologize for this. I know it was very traumatic for you and your nephew and your son. And like I said, it’s on me. There are consequences that come with that."

Indeed, there need to be. Again, the problem is not the error itself. It's the aggressive behavior of the jackbooted bastards prior to their realization that a mistake had indeed been made. Need to be held accountable for this aggressive behavior.

"The video ends with the officer who made the error shaking hands with the husband after he calms down. The husband tells the officer, "It's all good."

The apology by the officers involved is indeed a good first step. They need to be held accountable, however, for their unnecessary aggressive behavior prior to their realization that a mistake had indeed been made.

"A news release from the department states also shed more light on how the situation unfolded and how the error was made. An officer from the Frisco Police Department “observed a black Dodge Charger with an out of state license plate leaving a hotel” and checked the car’s Arkansas license plate “due to recent burglaries and vehicle thefts in which Chargers are frequently stolen.” “The officer then initiated a high-risk traffic stop on the Dallas North Tollway, which is standard procedure for stolen vehicles,” the department’s news release said."

Does not justify the aggressive behavior of these jackbooted bastards when the stop was made and they quickly discovered the occupants of the vehicle happened to be a family with kids.

"But the officer accidentally entered the license plate as being from Arizona, according to the department. When a sergeant arrived on the scene, they “realized the mistake and immediately ordered officers to ‘stand down’ and ended the high-risk stop,” according to information from the department."

Again, does not justify the aggressive behavior of these jackbooted bastards when the stop was made and they quickly discovered the occupants of the vehicle happened to be a family with kids.

"The news release states the department initiated an incident review the same day of the incident “to determine what happened, how it was managed, and to evaluate what needed to be addressed to prevent this from happening in the future.” The initial assessment revealed the need for officers to accurately enter information, according to the department, which also promised that “an ongoing review will identify further changes to training, policies, and procedures.” Shilson, the police chief, said he has spoken with the family, adding, “I empathize with them and completely understand why they’re upset. I apologized on behalf of our department and assured them that we will hold ourselves accountable and provide transparency through the process.”

Empty, hollow, meaningless rhetoric. So is the following:

“This incident does not reflect the high standard of service that our officers provide on a daily basis to our residents, businesses and visitors,” Shilson said."

Self-serving bullshit. Empty, hollow, meaningless rhetoric. The family needs to sue. Make it as costly as possible for all those involved in this uncalled for, unnecessary jackbooted fiasco. Especially important to do so since there likely will be no prosecution of these abusive officers.

"A spokesperson for the Frisco Police Department did not immediately respond to questions from NBC News on Monday morning, including about whether the officer who made the error has faced any disciplinary action and whether the incident has prompted any changes to the department’s policies or procedures as to how they conduct so-called high-risk traffic stops."

Surprised?

New charges filed against Trump. The Washington Post reports:

"Former president Donald Trump faced new criminal charges on Thursday — just not in the case that so many were expecting them to be in. Rather than an indictment related to Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, special counsel Jack Smith’s office released additional charges related to Trump’s retention of classified documents. The superseding indictment also adds a third defendant alongside Trump and Waltine “Walt” Nauta: Carlos De Oliveira is accused of engaging in a plot to delete security footage at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate after the government issued a subpoena for it — on behalf of “the boss.” The new indictment also breaks ground by charging Trump not just with failing to return the documents and obstruction of justice, but also for a “presentation” of information he allegedly showed to someone who was not authorized to see it."

Get this:

"It’s been apparent for a long time that this case wasn’t just about Trump possessing classified documents when he shouldn’t; it was about allegedly failing to return them when legally required to and, importantly, obstructing efforts to retrieve them. The superseding indictment drives home how much this trial will be about the alleged coverup. The most vivid new scene in the indictment adds to what would seem to be a wealth of evidence of alleged obstruction of justice. The previous version of the indictment was perhaps notable for what we learned from Trump attorney Evan Corcoran. Corcoran’s notes and testimony described multiple instances of Trump apparently not subtly suggesting that documents might go away without being returned to the authorities. At one point, Corcoran in his notes described Trump making a plucking motion, as if suggesting any “really bad” — in Corcoran’s words — documents should just be removed. But that’s not all the government is working with. In adding De Oliveira to the case, it describes a scene from weeks after the scenes described by Corcoran. The basics, according to the indictment: The Justice Department on June 24, 2022, subpoenaed Mar-a-Lago security footage. That day, Nauta changed his travel plans to go to Mar-a-Lago. He arrived June 25, and he and De Oliveira soon went to a security guard booth which contained surveillance monitors. They also approached the storage room where the documents were kept and pointed out the location of surveillance cameras. Two days later, De Oliveira allegedly had a conversation with an employee who worked with someone in the IT department. After taking the employee to a room and asking that their conversation be kept confidential, De Oliveira allegedly asked the employee about deleting a server with 45 days of security footage on it. When the employee said they didn’t know if such a thing was authorized, De Oliveira allegedly told him “the boss” wanted it deleted."

Interestingly:

"The indictment doesn’t draw an explicit line between this and Trump or even say definitely that he was “the boss” described. But the timeline the indictment lays out — describing conversations between Trump and both men around this time — suggests the government intends to prove that it was. Should the government do that, the scenes described would be even more compelling than Corcoran’s notes. Imagine if it’s proven that the former president who for years derided Hillary Clinton for purportedly destroying evidence about her private email server tried to have the contents of his own server deleted shortly after a government subpoena."

Nothing quite like hypocrisy, is there? LOL.

"And unlike Clinton, who was never accused of actually getting rid of pertinent evidence — then-FBI Director James B. Comey said there was “no evidence that any of the additional work-related emails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them” — the government here describes an attempt to destroy obviously important information it was seeking."

Fascinating, isn't it?

"The previous version of the indictment described two instances in which Trump allegedly showed off classified information to people who weren’t authorized to see it. But Trump wasn’t actually charged with a crime for doing so, and he suggested those instances weren’t all they were cracked up to be. He suggested one document — involving Iran — didn’t actually exist, and that a recording of him talking about it in front of unauthorized people was merely “bravado.” Smith might now be calling Trump’s bluff. The superseding indictment repeats the previously listed 31 counts that allege Trump willfully retained national defense information. But now we have a new count, No. 32: A “presentation concerning military activity in a foreign country.” This refers back to the previously known allegation, involving a July 2021 recording of Trump describing and apparently wielding “secret information” about Iran, which he acknowledged hadn’t been declassified. It hasn’t been clear that the government actually had the document. But the indictment suggests it believes it does. (The indictment lists Trump as possessing the document through Jan. 17, 2022, which might mean the National Archives recovered it in 15 boxes the following day.) Proving Trump had this specific document would be key in another way. It is, after all, the document that he acknowledged in real time he hadn’t declassified. Proving he had a document he admitted remained classified would torpedo Trump’s attempts to claim he actually declassified the documents — which Trump has suggested but his lawyers conspicuously haven’t argued in court."

Most interesting, isn't it?

"The other big significance here: The government is no longer just charging Trump with having the documents and obstructing efforts to get them back; it apparently signals an intent to prove that his decision to keep the documents actually resulted in his exposing sensitive information. A major question has been whether Nauta might flip against Trump, since the evidence against him appears to be compelling, and Trump is obviously the bigger target. But with De Oliveira, the government has another strong candidate for flipping — if not stronger. The last count on the superseding indictment — No. 42 — involves alleged false statements by De Oliveira, and they would appear to put him in serious trouble. In a January interview with the FBI, De Oliveira allegedly offered blanket denials that he participated in unloading White House boxes when they arrived at Mar-a-Lago in January 2021. He said he wasn’t aware of the boxes and “never saw nothing.” He said he didn’t know where they were even stored. The government says in the indictment that De Oliveira “personally observed and helped move” Trump’s White House boxes in January 2021. The least serious of the counts against De Oliveira might just be the easiest to prove."

The Associated Press reports:

"Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on three additional charges in a case that accuses him of illegally possessing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, allegations that add fresh detail to the criminal case initially issued last month.

"There are three new charges against Trump, as well as a new defendant in the case. Prosecutors accuse the former president of trying to “alter, destroy, mutilate, or conceal evidence,” and of inducing another person to do so. They say Trump asked a staffer — Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira — to delete camera footage at his Florida estate in an effort to obstruct the federal investigation into his possession of classified documents. Prosecutors allege that De Oliveira schemed with Trump and his valet, Walt Nauta, to conceal the footage from investigators. A third count also accuses Trump of willfully retaining national defense information related to a presentation about military activity in another country. Investigators say Trump showed a classified document during July 2021 meeting at his Bedminster, New Jersey, resort to the writer and publisher of the memoir of his former chief of staff Mark Meadows. Details about that document and the meeting were included in the original indictment, but none of the charges had related to it until now. Trump had returned that document to the government on Jan. 17, 2022 — nearly a year after he left office, according to the indictment. Trump was indicted last month on 37 counts related to the mishandling of classified documents. The charges include counts of retaining classified information, obstructing justice and making false statements, among other crimes. Trump is accused of keeping documents related to “nuclear weaponry in the United States” and the “nuclear capabilities of a foreign country,” along with documents from White House intelligence briefings, including some that detail the military capabilities of the U.S. and other countries, according to the indictment. Prosecutors alleged Trump showed off the documents to people who did not have security clearances to review them and later tried to conceal documents from his own lawyers as they sought to comply with federal demands to find and return documents. The top charges carry a penalty of up to 20 years in prison. After leaving office in 2021, the former president showed someone working for his political action committee a map that detailed a military operation in a foreign country, prosecutors allege in the document. On another occasion that year, Trump showed a writer, a publisher and two of his staffers — none of whom had security clearances — a military plan of attack."

CBS News reports:

"The Justice Department opposes former President Donald Trump's request to view and discuss with his lawyers classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence, "the very location at which he is charged with willfully retaining the documents charged in this case," according to a new court filing. The same night federal prosecutors slapped additional charges on Trump over his handling of classified documents, federal prosecutors filed a renewed motion for a protective order, urging the judge to allow Trump and his attorneys to view and discuss documents only in a secure facility, which is known as a SCIF. The superseding indictment prosecutors filed Thursday night lists three new counts against the former president: altering, destroying, mutilating, or concealing an object; corruptly altering, destroying, mutilating or concealing a document, record or other object; and an additional charge of willful retention of national defense information. "Defendant Trump's counsel objects to the provisions in the proposed protective order that require them to discuss classified information with their client only in a SCIF," federal prosecutors said in the renewed protective order filing. "They expressed concerns regarding the inconvenience posed by this limitation and requested that defendant Trump be permitted to discuss classified information with his counsel in his office at Mar-a-Lago, and possibly Bedminster. The government is not aware of any case in which a defendant has been permitted to discuss classified information in a private residence, and such exceptional treatment would not be consistent with the law." The government went on to say in the filing that "Defendant Trump's personal residences and offices are not lawful locations for the discussion of classified information, any more than they would be for any private citizen." "Since the conclusion of defendant Trump's presidency, neither the Mar-a-Lago club nor the Bedminster club has been an authorized location for the storage, possession, review, display or discussion of classified information," the filing reads. "There is no basis for the defendant's request that he be given the extraordinary authority to discuss classified information at his residence, and it is particularly striking that he seeks permission to do so in the very location at which he is charged with willfully retaining the documents charged in this case."

Called Aryan arrogance. Expect better of the Trump nazi and his shysters? Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

Gets worse. Get this:

ABC News reports:

"Former President Donald Trump said Friday that he'll continue to run for president even if convicted and sentenced on criminal charges brought by the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents after leaving office."

The Aryan arrogance of this congenital liar remains insufferable. Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"Trump made the remarks during a call-in radio interview on the John Fredericks Show, a day after a grand jury returned a superseding indictment that, among other charges, alleges that Trump, longtime aide Walt Nauta, and Mar-a-Lago staffer Carlos De Oliveira attempted to delete surveillance video footage at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in the summer of 2022. "If going forward, right, you get these indictments, there ends up -- you got a jury in D.C., you get convicted and sentenced -- does that stop your campaign for president if you’re sentenced?" host John Fredericks asked Trump in the interview. "Not at all," Trump replied. "There's nothing in the Constitution to say that it could, and not at all."

How do you run for office if your sorry ass is immediately taken into custody upon conviction and/or sentencing? LOL. Indeed, laughable. Why? Would never happen. Forget? Two systems of justice. One for the top of the food chain, The other for the rest of us. By design. The fascist bastard will certainly, before trial, have his attorneys at considerable financial expense delay prosecution as long as possible. Should he be convicted, he'd immediately endlessly appeal. Be out on bail for years. The bottom of the food chain and middle class, upon conviction of criminal activity, would immediately be imprisoned, -- unable to afford bail and the cost of endless appeals. Two systems of justice. Should Trump be re-elected as president pardon himself or order the Justice Department to drop all charges? Likely, an unwanted, dreaded second American revolution would be the end result. A catastrophe. -- Sadly, tragically make the Civil War look like, figuratively speaking, a 'picnic.'

"Constitutional experts agree that the absence of a criminal record is not a qualification for the presidency. The Constitution says only that natural born citizens who are at least 35 years old and have been a resident of the U.S. for 14 years can run for president. Trump, in the interview, also defended himself against prosecutors' allegations regarding attempts to delete security footage after investigators had subpoenaed it -- prior to investigators obtaining surveillance footage in July of 2022. "I don't think we would have had to give it," Trump said regarding the footage, which prosecutors say shows Mar-a-Lago employees moving around boxes containing classified materials. "These were security tapes. I don't think we would have wanted to fight that ... I doubt we would have ever wanted to fight that. I doubt we would have had to give it. Regardless, we gave it."

There is no greater threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties than the Trump nazi, his shysters, and his delusional supporters. Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"According to the superseding indictment, De Oliveira, a current Trump Organization employee who sources tell ABC News is the head of maintenance at Mar-a-Lago, allegedly told another employee that "the boss" wanted the server containing security footage deleted, and asked how long it kept footage. "What are we going to do?" De Oliveira allegedly said. Trump, in Friday's radio interview, blasted the new indictment."

Surprised? To be expected of a congenital liar:

"I'm not sure they say -- I'm not even sure what they're saying," Trump said of the charges. "They're trying to intimidate people, so they have to lie."

'Kettle calling the pot black.' LOL. What a goddamned disgrace. A congenital liar whose word means shit squat. LOL.

"But these are two wonderful employees, with me for a long time and they're great people," Trump said of Nauta and De Oliveira. "They want to destroy their lives."

Crock of shit coming from a congenital liar.

"The superseding indictment comes after Trump pleaded not guilty in June to 37 criminal counts related to his handling of classified materials, after prosecutors said he repeatedly refused to return hundreds of documents containing classified information ranging from U.S. nuclear secrets to the nation's defense capabilities. Nauta, who was charged alongside him, pleaded not guilty earlier this month to six counts including conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements. Trump has denied all charges and denounced the probe as a political witch hunt. De Oliveira is due in court on Monday."

Defense of the indefensible perpetrated by a congenital liar. LOL.

ABC News reports:

"Former President Donald Trump could be indicted in connection with a civil rights statute for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, one that has been used before to safeguard against potential election interference. A July 16 target letter from special counsel Jack Smith's team alerted Trump that he is a target of the special counsel's investigation into efforts to interfere with the 2020 presidential election results, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. Sources say the letter mentioned three federal statutes: conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States, deprivation of rights under a civil rights statute, and tampering with a witness, victim or an informant. The civil rights statute, Section 241 of Title 18 in the U.S. Code, has been used to prosecute several instances of voter interference. Section 241 makes it "unlawful for two or more persons to agree to injure, threaten, or intimidate a person in the United States in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States or because of his or her having exercised such a right," the Department of Justice's website reads. The statute can be applied to forms of voter intimidation if there is "a conspiracy to prevent persons whom the subjects knew were qualified voters from entering or getting to the polls to vote in an election when a federal candidate is on the ballot" or conspires "to misuse state authority to prevent qualified voters from voting for any candidate in any election," the DOJ states in a Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses report. This would be a felony violation, "even if the underlying conduct would not, on its own, establish a felony violation of another criminal civil rights statute," according to the DOJ website. Trump is facing several investigations for his actions during and following the 2020 presidential election, placing scrutiny on his efforts in Georgia, where he asked the Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" the exact number of votes Trump would need to beat now-President Joe Biden, as well as alleged attempts to invalidate the election results in Michigan."

Report goes on and on as the walls close in on Trump.

The Associated Press reports:

"It’s a stunning new allegation in an already serious case: Former President Donald Trump sought to delete Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage to obstruct the Justice Department’s investigation into his handling of classified documents. The latest criminal charges unsealed Thursday deepen Trump’s legal jeopardy, alleging a more central role for the former president than previously known in a cover-up that prosecutors say was meant to prevent them from recovering top-secret documents he took with him after he left the White House. Coming as Trump braces for possible additional indictments related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the new allegations strengthen special counsel Jack Smith’s already powerful case against Trump while undercutting potential defenses floated by the former president, experts say. “Before these new charges, you could maybe try some sort of defense that ‘this was all a mistake, it was my staff’ or confusion about what documents he actually had,” said former federal prosecutor Randall Eliason, a George Washington University law professor. “But especially now, when you’re trying to destroy video footage,” he added, “that’s kind of the final nail in the coffin. I don’t see much in the way of a defense, not a real defense. All he can do is claim he’s being persecuted and hope for a holdout juror or something.”

The Washington Post reports:

"The superseding indictment filed against Donald Trump in the classified documents investigation this week — and the addition of a third defendant — expand the scope of the crimes the former president is accused of committing and could bolster the case against him, according to legal experts. Federal prosecutors filed three new charges against Trump in his alleged keeping and hiding of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, essentially replacing the initial indictment in the case with a new one that reveals more evidence and brings the total federal charges against the former president to 40. The third co-defendant is Mar-a-Lago employee Carlos De Oliveira, who is accused of lying to the FBI in a January interview and “altering, destroying, mutilating or concealing” an item or document. Waltine “Walt” Nauta, a longtime Trump aide who was charged alongside the former president in the initial June indictment, was also slapped with additional charges involving altering or concealing an item or document. Both Trump and Nauta pleaded not guilty when they were arraigned on the initial charges. A lawyer for Nauta declined to comment on the new charges Thursday night, and a spokesman for Trump dismissed the superseding indictment as an attempt to harass the former president. The superseding indictment accuses Trump of working with his employees to try to delete security camera footage from being reviewed by investigators, while adding a new count of willfully retaining national defense information. That count is related to Trump allegedly showing a top secret military document about Iran to other people who, like him, lacked the security clearance required to see such material."

The walls are indeed closing in on Trump:

"The additional charges of lying to investigators could send a warning signal to other witnesses, the legal experts said: The case against Trump and his employees is strong and growing, and witnesses should cooperate with federal prosecutors if they want to avoid getting indicted themselves. While every legal maneuver in cases involving Trump is heavily scrutinized, experts say superseding indictments are exceedingly common. Having multiple co-defendants in a single case — rather than trying co-defendants in separate trials — is also business as usual. “Why would you try the same case three times? You are presenting the same case,” said Patrick Cotter, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice in Chicago. “People who are charged with the same acts are usually, overwhelmingly charged together. That’s the presumption. You do it once, you don’t do it three or five times.”

The Associated Press reports:

"Donald Trump was charged Tuesday in a Justice Department investigation into his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, a frantic but ultimately failed endeavor that culminated in the violent riot by his supporters at the U.S. Capitol. The indictment, the third criminal case brought against the former president as he seeks to reclaim the White House in 2024, follows a long-running federal investigation into schemes by Trump and his allies to subvert the peaceful transfer of power and keep him in office despite a decisive loss to Joe Biden. The criminal case comes while Trump leads the field of Republicans vying to capture their party’s presidential nomination. It is sure to be dismissed by the former president and his supporters — and even some of his rivals — as just another politically motivated prosecution. Yet the charges stem from one of the most serious threats to American democracy in modern history. They focus on the turbulent two months after the November 2020 election in which Trump refused to accept his loss and spread lies that victory was stolen from him. The turmoil resulted in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, when Trump loyalists violently broke into the building, attacked police officers and disrupted the congressional counting of electoral votes. In between the election and the riot, Trump urged local election officials to undo voting results in their states, pressured former Vice President Mike Pence to halt the certification of electoral votes and falsely claimed that the election had been stolen — a notion repeatedly rejected by judges.

"The mounting criminal cases against Trump — not to mention multiple civil cases — are unfolding in the heat of the 2024 race. A conviction in this case, or any other, would not prevent Trump from pursuing the White House or serving as president. In New York, state prosecutors have charged Trump with falsifying business records about a hush money payoff to a porn actor before the 2016 election. The trial begins in late March. In Florida, the Justice Department has brought more than three dozen felony counts against Trump accusing him of illegally possessing classified documents after leaving the White House and concealing them from the government. The trial begins in late May. The latest federal indictment against Trump focuses heavily on actions taken in Washington, and the trial will be held there, in a courthouse located between the White House he once occupied and the Capitol his supporters once stormed. No trial date has been set. Prosecutors in Georgia are investigating efforts by Trump and his allies to reverse his election loss to Biden there in 2020. The district attorney of Fulton County is expected to announce a decision on whether to indict the former president in early August."

The Associated Press reports:

"Donald Trump for years has promoted baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. In truth, Trump was the one who tried to steal the election, federal prosecutors said Tuesday in a sprawling indictment that paints the former president as desperate to cling to power he knew had been stripped away by voters. The Justice Department indictment accuses Trump of brazenly conspiring with allies to spread falsehoods and concoct schemes intended to overturn his election loss to President Joe Biden as his legal challenges floundered in court. The felony charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith are built around the words of White House lawyers and others in his inner circle who repeatedly told Trump there was no fraud. It’s the third time this year the early front-runner in the 2024 Republican presidential primary has been charged in a criminal case. But it’s the first case to try to hold Trump responsible for his efforts to remain in power during the chaotic weeks between his election loss and the attack by his supporters on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump has said he did nothing wrong, and has accused Smith and the Justice Department of trying to harm his 2024 campaign."

That's all Trump has in his defense? Lies coming from a congenital liar?

"Trump is charged with four counts: obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and conspiracy to prevent others from carrying out their constitutional rights. In the obstruction charge — which carries penalties of up to 20 years in prison — the official proceeding refers to the Jan. 6, 2021, joint session of Congress at which electoral votes were counted in order to certify Biden as the official winner. Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding also carries a maximum of 20 years in prison. That obstruction charge has been brought against hundreds of the more than 1,000 people charged in the Jan. 6 riot, including members of the far-right Oath Keepers and Proud Boys extremist groups. More than 100 people have been convicted at trial or pleaded guilty to the offense. Conspiracy to defraud the U.S., which is punishable by up to five years in prison, prohibits efforts to obstruct or interfere with government functions “by deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest,” the Supreme Court has held. The indictment alleges that Trump used “dishonesty, fraud and deceit” to obstruct the counting and certifying of the election results. Trump had the right to contest the election — and even falsely claim that he had won, indictment says. The charges, however, stem from what prosecutors say were illegal efforts to subvert the election results and block the peaceful transfer of power."

All this was quite obvious almost two and a half years ago. Why did it take so long to indict him?

The indictment alleges a weekslong plot that began with pressure on state lawmakers and election officials to change electoral votes from Biden to Trump, and then evolved into organizing fake slates of pro-Trump electors to be sent to Congress. Trump and his allies also attempted to use the Justice Department to conduct bogus election-fraud investigations in order to boost his fake electors’ scheme, the indictment says. As Jan. 6 approached, Trump and his allies pressured Vice President Mike Pence to reject certain electoral votes, and when that failed, the former president directed his supporters to go to the Capitol to obstruct Congress’ certification of the vote, the indictment alleges. Finally, the indictment says, Trump and his allies tried to exploit his supporters’ attack on the Capitol by redoubling their efforts to spread election lies and convince members of Congress to further delay the certification of Biden’s victory."

Interestingly:

"Trump is the only defendant charged in the indictment, which mentions six co-conspirators. The six people are not explicitly named, but the indictment includes details that make it possible to identify some of them. It’s unclear why they weren’t charged or whether they will be added to the indictment at a later date. The co-conspirators include an attorney “who was willing to spread knowingly false claims and pursue strategies” that Trump’s 2020 campaign attorneys would not, and an attorney whose “unfounded claims of election fraud” Trump privately acknowledged to others sounded “crazy.” Another co-conspirator is a political consultant who helped submit fake slates of electors for Trump. Trump ”was notified repeatedly that his claims were untrue — often by the people on whom he relied for candid advice on important matters, and who were best positioned to know the facts and he deliberately disregarded the truth,” the indictment says. Trump is already scheduled to stand trial in March in the New York case stemming from hush-money payments made during the 2016 campaign and in May in the federal case in Florida stemming from classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Smith said prosecutors will seek “a speedy trial” in the latest case. Unlike in Florida, where Republicans have made steady inroads in recent years, Trump will likely face a challenging jury pool in overwhelmingly Democratic Washington, D.C. Of the roughly 100 people who have gone to trial in the Jan. 6 attack, only two people have been cleared of all charges and those cases were decided by judges, not juries."

This third indictment against Trump is reportedly the most serious of the three to date. More on all this as it becomes available.

The Aryan arrogance of the Israeli dictator knows no bounds. Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

NPR reports:

"In an interview with NPR's Morning Edition, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will not replace the country's top law enforcement official, but does expect to reappoint a convicted tax felon to a senior position in government, after passing a contentious law this week giving his government some unchecked powers over senior appointments. It is the first time Netanyahu has publicly stated what he expects to do with the new legislation passed Monday limiting a power of the Supreme Court. The law has sparked months of unprecedented domestic protest over concerns it will erode the democratic separation of powers. Speculations over the future of Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, whose office is leading the charge against Netanyahu in an ongoing corruption trial, have been swirling since the prime minister's return to power in December. Legal experts say this law could help Netanyahu fire or sideline the attorney general, and Netanyahu's party members have advanced a bill to strip her of her prosecutorial powers. But Netanyahu claims he has no intentions of removing Baharav-Miara from her post. "It's not even on the table and it won't happen," Netanyahu tells NPR."

Expect better of a congenital liar?

"Speaking with Morning Edition co-host Steve Inskeep, the prime minister also rejected any notion that the new law will make it easier for him to outright dismiss his own trial. "It's completely false. There's no connection between this judicial reform, which is very broad, and my trial," he says."

Expect better of a congenital liar?

"Mordechai Kremnitzer, a law expert from the non-partisan Israel Democracy Institute, questioned the claim. "I'm afraid to say that the level of trustworthiness of Netanyahu is so low in my view, that I just don't trust his word," Kremnitzer told NPR. "It's clear that despite what Netanyahu says, that the firing of the attorney general is on the table. It's clear that it has to do with the trial of Netanyahu, as well as it has to do with the wish of this government to get rid of the rule of law."

No question. ... To protect his sorry ass.

"The court used the "reasonability" clause in January to dismiss Aryeh Deri, a key Netanyahu ally, from his position as Israel's interior and health minister. Deri was also meant to serve as finance minister later on. The Supreme Court found that Deri's prior conviction for tax fraud made his appointment unreasonable, and that his promise to the court to stay out of politics — which appears to have granted him leniency in his sentencing — also should preclude him from serving in Netanyahu's government. But with this judicial check now gone, unless the Supreme Court repeals the new law, Netanyahu could appoint Deri to his cabinet position without intervention from the Supreme Court deeming it unreasonable. And he's considering doing just that. When asked directly if he will reappoint Deri, Netanyahu responded: "Well, you know, it depends what happens, of course, with the legislation, we have to see. But if it stands, I expect it to happen."

Expect better of a congenital liar?

"In the NPR interview, Netanyahu denied that the legislation impacted Israel's national security, despite public concerns from defense officials. Israeli officials have reportedly been holding meetings to evaluate at what point Israel's readiness for battle will be adversely affected. "I don't think it's affecting our national defense, Israel is very strong," Netanyahu said. "There's no real, I would say, no real detraction or reduction in our ability to, to meet our security challenges." That appears to contradict statements from Israel's military. In a public statement, military spokesman Daniel Hagari said requests by reservists not to serve have increased, and "if reservists do not show up for reserve duty in the long term, there will be damage to the military's readiness." Army chief of staff Herzi Halevi said in a video, "When a dispute spills over into the ranks of the IDF, and cracks begin to emerge...These are dangerous cracks."

The Prime Minister remains hopelessly delusional and an exigent threat to democracy:

"On how to proceed with his government's plan to overhaul the judiciary: "Now that we've passed [the first law] and we have the votes to to continue legislating, maybe now we'll be able to get some buy in from the opposition, and I'm prepared to do that. I think we should just sit down. We have about three months, four months. We should just sit down, work out the entire judicial reform, find a happy middle." On why judicial reform is needed: "People agree that the balance between the three branches of government has been taken off the rails in the last 20 years, and people want to bring it back. What does it mean bring it back? It means that that neither one of the three branches of government has that overwhelming dominance over the other three. That assures democracy. ... [Over] the last 20 years, the Supreme Court has aggregated for itself the powers of the judiciary, executive branch and the legislative."

Unbridled, unregulated greed. NPR reports:

"Hidden fees or "junk fees" are on the rise, as companies work to bring in more money while keeping prices looking low. U.S. consumers pay more than $65 billion in fees each year. It started out innocently enough: lazy Monday, working late, nothing in the fridge. I decided to splurge and order a burger and fries for delivery. Subtotal for my meal? $14.07. A little pricey, but it's a good burger and $14 seemed like a totally acceptable price for dinner, especially when it's delivered to my door. Then came the fees:

Delivery fee: $5.49
Service fee: $3
Tip: $4
Tax: $1.25

Grand total for my delivery burger: $27.81"

Jesus Christ. Ever see a hitch on the back of a hearse? Can't take it with you. LOL.

"My lazy Monday went from costing me $14 to almost $30. The price had doubled. What was going on?"

Unbridled, unregulated greed. No more than legalized theft. LOL.

"It's fees — fee-flation" says Jeff Galak, professor of marketing at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business. "Fees are a way to raise prices without raising prices." This is what's known as stealth inflation."

Also known as a royal f--king.

Expect better of a corrupt and abusive U.S. Supreme Court? The Associated Press reports:

"Justice Samuel Alito says Congress lacks the power to impose a code of ethics on the Supreme Court, making him the first member of the court to take a public stand against proposals in Congress to toughen ethics rules for justices in response to increased scrutiny of their activities beyond the bench. “I know this is a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it. No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court—period,” Alito said in an interview he gave to the Wall Street Journal opinion pages. An account of the interview, which the paper said took place in New York in early July, was published Friday."

Expect better of the nazi element in the Republican Party? Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"Democrats last week pushed Supreme Court ethics legislation through a Senate committee, though the bill’s prospects in the full Senate are dim. All federal judges other than the justices already adhere to an ethics code that was developed by the federal judiciary. But the Supreme Court’s unique status — it’s the only federal court created by the Constitution — puts it outside the reach of those standards that apply to other federal jurists. Democrats first sought to address that after ProPublica reported earlier this year that Justice Clarence Thomas participated in lavish vacations and a real estate deal with a top Republican donor — and after Chief Justice John Roberts declined to testify before the committee about the ethics of the court. Since then, ProPublica also revealed that Alito had taken a luxury vacation in Alaska with a Republican donor who had business interests before the court. The Associated Press reported in early July that Justice Sonia Sotomayor, aided by her staff, has advanced sales of her books through college visits over the past decade. The 73-year-old Alito, who joined the court in 2006, has rejected the idea that he should have disclosed the Alaska trip or stepped away from cases involving the donor, hedge fund owner Paul Singer. Alito penned his own Wall Street Journal op-ed, which was published hours before ProPublica posted its story."

"Alito said that he is unwilling to leave allegations unanswered, though he acknowledged judges and justices typically don’t respond to their critics. “And so at a certain point I’ve said to myself, nobody else is going to do this, so I have to defend myself,” he said in the newest column."

Aryan arrogance of the nazi element in the Republican Party. Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"While no other justice has spoken so definitively about ethics legislation, Roberts has raised questions about Congress’ authority to oversee the high court. In his year-end report in 2011, Roberts wrote that the justices comply with legislation that requires annual financial disclosures and limits their outside earned income. “The Court has never addressed whether Congress may impose those requirements on the Supreme Court. The Justices nevertheless comply with those provisions,” Roberts wrote. The justices have so far resisted adopting an ethics code on their own, although Roberts said in May that there is more the court can do to “adhere to the highest standards” of ethical conduct, without providing specifics."

Expect better of a U.S. Supreme Court run and owned by six Republican national socialists? Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion. 'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

The effort to expose Wells Fargo egregious deceptive trade practices continues. Several years ago to determinedly apply renewed pressure on our truly worthless, egregiously self-serving Texas Attorney General, now Governor, an excoriating email was sent to the bastard. Copies of which were also passed on to both offending Wells Fargo officers. A copy was also sent to the Davis campaign and others at the time.

Voters did have a right to know as Attorney General, the GOP candidate for Governor apparently selectively investigated, or not, bona fide complaints filed by citizens against banks too big to fail. Possibly, Wells Fargo could have lined his pockets in some fashion. That has yet to be determined.

The bastard and his office, no matter what, failed to respond to the complaint originally snail mailed several years ago. This material, figuratively targeting Wells Fargo and the governor 'wannabe' now Governor, had been posted and can be found by scrolling all the way down and clicking on the links well below. ... Governor? Wells Fargo bribe you to look the other way?

Will continue to do all I can to publicly expose this to all, both in this publication and elsewhere. Have done precisely that with the following email sent to Matt Turner, Matt Turner Video Services, Marble Falls, TX. A copy of it was also sent to Wells Fargo officer Amanda Wright. She has, indeed, been promoted branch manager. Reverse Darwinism. Survival of the unfittest.

This young woman has indeed been rewarded by the Wells Fargo corporate management suite for engaging in criminal deceptive trade practices and her undying loyalty to her corporate masters. The process to update those already informed of this fiasco has finally been completed. This latest material can be found by clicking onWells Fargo Deceptive Trade Practices Salvo 240, 2-8-19 .

The name of this publication was changed some fifteen years ago from The Llano Ledger to Liberty In Peril. The reason? Simple. Cowardly failure of this community to stand up to tyranny that has only exponentially worsened the last decade and a half. Clearly, demonstrated as well by the cowardly failure of businesses to financially support this publication. Either through advertising or other financial support. Too afraid doing so would enrage the bastards who run and own this hellhole County.

-- Despite the fact these businesses were, and are, being egregiously f--ked by these very same bastards. Tough, isn't it? Impossible to entertain any sympathy for cowardice, however. Especially in view of the fact this writer has placed himself in great jeopardy taking on these corrupt, abusive, inept criminal bastards. Alone.

Exactly, why you see no investigative material highly critical of these sons of bitches in other local rags. Sadly, cowardly, all advertising income immediately dries up. Consequently, the bastards continue their criminal chicanery with impunity. On a rampage. Thus, you get what you truly deserve. Always. Precisely, why this earlier name change to Liberty In Peril remains appropriate. -- Despite the fact this writer has not yet left the area. Ten years after originally intending to do so. Thirty years in this goddamned godforsaken hellhole.

This writer, then and now, remains primarily interested in state, federal, and international issues. Another reason for this publication name change. Despite the fact I stupidly cluelessly remain here, local issues must be addressed. Can't be ignored. That's where you come in dear readers. Have the courage to inform this writer of local abuse, corruption, ineptness you are aware of, have personally experienced.

... Information these criminal bastards do all they can to conceal, cover up. Otherwise, how can they effectively sustain the charade and intended result? Loot confiscation through a boot heel on the throat of the citizenry.

The only way, short of an unwanted dreaded second American revolution, to force badly-needed change is to expose all this to the light of day. These bastards are beginning to understand they have a problem. No question, the growing rage of those they've abused, looted, egregiously f--ked. It's time to stand up. Expose this corruption to glaring sunlight. Otherwise, as fools, cowards, you will remain under their thumb. From the loftiest business owner to those on the bottom of the food chain. Wake up. Grow a pair.

Still don't think that likely to happen. After all, you're bought and paid for. Owned. Not only by your government masters, but their masters. The corporate management suite. Your employers. Think not? Wake up. You're human chattel. Corporate-owned, bought and paid for. Precisely, why you cowardly, compliantly, literally bare your asses for corporate inspection by the company doctor. Willingly, compliantly, cowardly piss in a cup under employer supervision. To sit in front of a keyboard or stock shelves all day. You have no control of your lives. You're owned. Forget? For a measly salary, no job security, reduced to no benefits. At a time of record corporate profits and cash reserves.

Then, you gallingly complain about the oppression as you tolerate egregious theft of your labor. Not only by your corporate masters, but their bought and paid for government lackeys. Too cowardly to stand up, allow disclosure of your identity when you rightfully complain to this publication of being mercilessly f--ked. Some of you falsely arrested, criminally assaulted, bogusly fined for 'offenses' you did not commit. To line County coffers. Keep the peasants in line and under control. A fascist police-state. Nazi America.

Again, yet another reason why this publication is called Liberty In Peril. Most galling? Nothing changes if you fail to step up and challenge corrupt, abusive, inept authority. Too afraid, cowardly compliant to let the bastards know who you are. Did it ever occur to the cowards out there if the identity of the accuser is kept under wraps the bastards will falsely claim it's all made up by this publication? Thus, conveniently killing all credibility. Wake up.

Cowardice is unbecoming, unworthy of our formerly great country. Insult to injury? There are the hopelessly deranged who believe the chicanery reported here to be manufactured anyway. No matter the effort. No matter the research. No matter the proof. Wake up. This writer cannot do it alone. Snowball's chance in hell. Then again, cowardice, delusion is always amply, justly rewarded. Always. You continue to 'enjoy' the very best government money can buy. Literally.
