A federal judge on Saturday (click here) struck down the Trump administration's last-ditch effort to stop former national security adviser John Bolton from publishing his explosive book.
The Justice Department sued Bolton on Tuesday to block the release, alleging that Bolton breached his contract and that the book could compromise national security because it contains classified information.
"While Bolton's unilateral conduct raises grave national security concerns, the government has not established that an injunction is an appropriate remedy," US District Judge Royce Lamberth said in his ruling Saturday....
There is so much propaganda that exists in the bloated egos of police in this country it is ridiculous. The African American communities are protesting to protect their rights and their lives, we should all be on board with it. Anyone that is complaining is a racist.
Officer #1 states, "I am 6 feet 2 inches and a strong man. It would be next to impossible to me down without tools like a taser."
No one is interested in taking away tasers. They are a good non-lethal tool for officers faced with a violent individual, rather than a gun. The issue with Rayshard Brooks is an overreach and poor police work. If other officers can't get on board to properly peer-review other officers that place danger in the path of justice, then they need to look for another job.
The issue with all the deaths of African American men is a "takedown" that took their lives. Officers across this country better get used to the idea that no one dies if they are unarmed at the time of their crime. Any officer that kills anyone when that person is not armed should not be in the force. The interface of the police and citizens MUST RESPECT the lives of all involved. We are talking about people that are unarmed but have broken the law in some way. THEY BETTER NOT DIE. The apprehension of an unarmed human being does not mean the interaction escalates to gunfire or any method of asphyxiation. Police that escalate circumstances facing a Father or Husband or young man needs to leave the force.
The deaths of these African American men are heinous. They should never have happened. Killing minorities in the line of duty when they are no danger to the public or police is racism.
STOP THE WHINING AND GO BACK TO WORK. This isn't about the officers that are whining about protesters unless they make it so.
My family is large and we have people in all walks of life and we have cops in our family and NOT ONE OF THEM HAVE KILLED ANYONE!
They have ranged in all forms of police work, local cops in white towns and local cops in minority neighborhoods, State Police, Detectives, and working in Medicare Fraud. All those jobs over their lifetimes are the scope I have in understanding police work. My family police officers are both men and women. They carry weapons and ride in cop cars. They have been involved with riots dating back in time to the early Detroit riots. They killed no one and are alive to tell the tale.
As a matter of fact, an uncle was befriended by men he put in jail and prison. There was once a safecracker named Leroy that called my uncle the day he was released from prison where he was for five years. He said, "You told me that when I get out you would help me find a job." My uncle did exactly that. Not only did he find Leroy a job, but he would OCCASIONALLY hear from Leroy if he was struggling. You could say they had a casual bother relationship. Leroy never met the family, it was about Leroy's functioning in the world. Leroy never went back to crime.
I could not believe my ears when someone stated President Obama was born in Kenya. Like, what? The person stated there was a woman by the name of Loretta Fuddy (click here). According to this brainwashed man, Ms. Fuddy was the only one that died in a plane because she released President Obama's birth certificate from Kenya. That story is so perverted and wrong it should be a crime. A conspiracy theory that places Ms. Fuddy at a place where she died because she told the truth about President Obama being born in Kenya. She died because of a cover up. That is completely demented and totally wrong.
Mr. Fuddy was Health Director in Hawaii, not Kenya. She lived and worked in Hawaii all her life and never had authority in Kenya to manufacture a birth certificate. Ms. Fuddy was the Health Director that APPROVED the release of President Obama's HAWAIIAN birth certificate. She had absolutely nothing to do with Kenya. She died in a plane crash with others in the "Hawaiian Flying Taxi" often used to ferry between islands. It is unfortunate, but, it was not a conspiracy against Ms. Fuddy. Those planes sometimes crash and unfortunately, she was on one the day something went wrong.
Mr. Fuddy was a professional with the Hawaiian Health Department with the authority to release President Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate. Enough of this mess.
Conspiracy theories about President Obama is racism.
Police Officer #2 is a woman. She was touting all her gratification in her work including birthing babies. Fine. I am very happy she finds her work rewarding. But, that doesn't give her the right to kill unarmed black men. It does not give her the right to complain about protesters demanding the end of the death of unarmed black men. He does give her the right to explore the issues at hand and come to conclusions to be aware of the RIGHT of an unarmed person to live through their apprehension and arrest.
There are statements by men officers about how they weren't going to enter the fray of a gunfight ensuing in their town. That is work for a SWAT team and not police officers. Officers facing these direly dangerous times need to call in SWAT to end the gun barrage. It is not the responsibility of officers that birth babies to also end gun wars for whatever reason they exist.
If cops want to express their politics it should be done on their own time and out of uniform. Very simple. Any discussion of politics is confrontational and should be eliminated in the work environment. Officers that care about politics need to begin a movement to end gun violence and protect police lives. There are far too many guns on the street and it needs to stop. Police lives are at danger because of the gun population in this country. Guns that have military capacity DO NOT belong on the streets of the USA.
The nine mm semi-automatic pistol was introduced to the police in 1995. Before that, they had their six-shooter and not much else. Look where we are today. The streets are more dangerous and police officers are all in danger because of it. The politics that placed military-style weapons on the streets of the USA need to be rolled back and police need to demand a safe workspace not provided in their work today.
NO MORE DEAD UNARMED AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN.
NO MORE RACIST RANTS.
NO MORE HIDEOUS CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT DEFAMES OUR FORMER AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT. The right complains about the "talk about Trump," then they need to look in the mirror and end the slanderous and fictitious talk they produce.
The police are overreacting to JUSTICE being leveled at some officers for the death of African American citizens.
Crime happens in the USA for many reasons, but, it frequently revolves around the overvaluation of wealth without valuing each other through humanitarian values we all share in this country.
