August 5, 2014

A brutally candid video was captured and uploaded to youtube Monday of an Helmetta, NJ cop.

Steve Wronko had gone to the Helmetta Police Department with a list of objections about recent violations at the Helmetta Regional Animal Shelter. According to the Community outreach facebook page created to expose the atrocities of the shelter, Reform Helmetta Regional Animal Shelter, there is a long stemming controversy from the Helmetta Mayor, Nancy Martin. Martin also happens to be the tax collector for the City of Perth. In 2011, Martin made her son, Brandon Metz, the head of the Animal Shelter. She also appointed him to Animal Cruelty Investigator, Borough Laborer, Water Meter Reader, and Certified Recycling Co-ordinator, according to the facebook page.

After a recent meeting held by members of Cop Block, Cop Watch and the Peaceful Streets Project, in Arlington Texas, attendees were followed and harassed by police.

According to local Cop Block leader Joseph Tye, the group heard that their meetings were being monitored over their police scanner. The cops were allegedly giving descriptions of the Cop Blockers cars to one another over the radio and waited for the last two members to leave so they could follow them onto the road. The individuals who were stopped by police, were actually brand new members of Cop Block. Unfortunately they were not able to hold their ground to prevent the police from detaining one of them and giving her a field sobriety test. To detain someone without charges is illegal in many states including Texas, however, the woman driving was bullied into complying with the police orders.

NYPD Destroyed Evidence After Officer Killed Student With Police Car | The Free Thought Project

August 5, 2014

Last year, NYPD Officer Darren Ilardi ran over 24-year-old Ryo Oyamada with his police car, killing the young student outside of a deli near the intersection of 40th Avenue and 10th Street, in Queensbridge, New York.

After the accident, Ilardi intentionally destroyed evidence and began a year long cover-up which has been revealed in a recent lawsuit. It is also highly possible that Ilardi is not the only officer who participated in the cover-up. According to the lawsuit, officers who responded to the scene failed to conduct a proper investigation. The responding officers dispersed the eyewitnesses without getting any testimony, they failed to measure skid marks or to check Ilardi's cellphone and dash-cam footage to see if he was distracted while driving. Additionally, the police report was heavily redacted and it seems that surveillance video which was taken near the scene of the crime miraculously disappeared.

A British entrepreneur built a temporary toll road in order to make a little scratch and ease congestion around a closed section of a road between the towns of Bath and Bristol.

At a price of about $3, commuters are lining up to pay the man who is making their lives easier, without any government force necessary to get them to fork over their cash. The man spent approximately $252,000 of his own money to build the road. Bulk passes good for 12 trips are available for $16 bucks. You don't have to take the toll road, of course. You can just detour around it for another ten miles on your trip.

The New York Times: Unions Manipulate New York City's Public Pension Funds To Punish Their Enemies

August 4, 2014

The New York Times reported last week that New York City's pension funds were contributing $40 million to a new "affordable housing" investment pool and expecting to earn a paltry 2.75 percent return.

Gotham's comptroller, Scott Stringer (D), who oversees the city's pension funds and whose primary experience in business was running a failed bar-restaurant in Manhattan in the early 1990s, called this a "sound investment." Ultimately, taxpayers are on the hook for pension fund shortfalls-next year the city will contribute $8 billion or 11% of its budget-so "investments" of this sort are just a covert way of diverting city cash to particular causes.

"Once they ruled this a homicide, now you all of a sudden find something on him? C'mon. Let's be realistic."

22 year-old Ramsey Orta was the young man who shot the gruesome video of the NYPD killing Eric Garner. Friday the New York City Medical Examiner's office released a statement ruling the official cause of death a homicide due to "compression of neck, chest and positioning during restraint by police." Then, on Saturday, according to NBC New York, police said plainclothes officers from a Staten Island narcotics unit saw Orta stuff a silver, .25-caliber handgun into a 17-year-old female companion's waistband after they walked out of the Hotel Richmond. Police called the location, on Central Avenue, a "known drug prone location."

NYPD Falsely Accused Diabetic Teen of Murder and Stole His Insulin To Force Confession | The Free Thought Project

A Brooklyn family is filing a federal lawsuit against the NYPD after their 14 year old diabetic son, Richard Gonzalez, was denied insulin while falsely arrested on attempted murder charges.

This past April, there was a shooting at a Foot Locker in Bushwick, New York, in which 15-year-old Isaiah Martinez was shot in the foot for allegedly trying to cut in line to buy a pair of $250 Kanye West-designed Nike Air "Yeezy" sneakers. Witnesses told police that the shooter was named "Richie", which led police to search through names on Facebook for a match. Police discovered that Martinez was Facebook friends with 14 year old Richard Gonzalez, which was apparently all the evidence that they needed to arrest him and put him through brutal witness intimidation tactics.
