If the "crap" comes from the right, it gets called out too:

Apparently they are claiming that it was not a deposit, but rather a return.

Just more evidence of the idiocy of the extremist right.

Does anyone have a clue to how much that pile of carp is worth for a garden?  Bagged and sold at Lowe's, there is probably $500 - maybe more - sitting there.  I have a flatbed trailer, so if anyone, either side gets that put in front of their campaign headquarters, let me know - I will come get it for my garden.

Oakland's police chief wants to fire two officers and discipline 42 others for misconduct during Occupy protests, including seriously injuring an Iraq War veteran with a bean-bag projectile.

Chief Howard Jordan's recommendations came today as the city released a summary of internal police investigations stemming from complaints filed after major protests, the Oakland Tribune reports.
At a news conference, Jordan said the department had received 1,127 complaints about officer conduct at three big Occupy Oakland demonstrations.
Jordan also acknowledged that one of his officers fired a bean-bag charge into the head of Iraq veteran Scott Olsen and that another officer fired a gas canister at rescuers who aided the bleeding Olsen.

The recommendations include 23 written reprimands, but Jordan also wants to fire two officers, demote another, suspend 15 officers for up to 30 days and send three to training, CBS SF says. City officials would not identify the officers, citing confidentiality laws.

Shut it down. You win.

It's those damn gun-clinging nuts...

That looks like double-pane safety glass, and that makes sense given where it's installed.  You can break one pane with a sling shot and a marble or even a BB gun.  But to break both takes more power, a follow-up shot, or a second shooter.  Is there a grassy knoll nearby?

It only took a year...

Charges against two student journalists arrested while covering the Occupy Atlanta protests last year have finally been dropped.

Journalists Alisen Redmond of The Sentinel at Kennesaw State University and Judith Kim of The Signal at Georgia State University were arrested by police on November 5, 2011 on charges of "obstruction of traffic," even though both women were standing with a group of other media reporters on a street that police had already closed to traffic.

Today the National Press Photographer's Association (NPPA) announced that it was joining 5 elected officials and almost a dozen members of the press in a lawsuit against the New York Police Department (NYPD) and JP Morgan Chase. The lawsuit alleges that the City of New York, the MTA, the NYPD, Brookfield Properties, and JP Morgan Chase conspired to violate the First Amendment rights of press members who were arrested while covering the "Occupy Wall Street" protests. The amended complaint seeks both redress against police misconduct during these arrests and that a federal independent monitor be appointed to observe future NYPD incidents involving the press.

Former Occupy Wall Street Infiltrator Faces Gang Charges in Assault

NYPD detective was 'active participant' in beating of SUV driver targeted by bikers.

Detective Wojchiech Braszczok, 32, who once worked undercover as an Occupy Wall Street protester, now faces charges of gang assault, assault and criminal mischief after Alexian Lien was yanked from behind the wheel of his SUV and pummeled in front of his wife and 2-year-old daughter.
Braszczok smashed a rear window where the baby sat. It took the detective three days before admitting he was at the scene, but only after investigators identified him on video.


He gels his hair into a tough-guy "Lo-hawk." He posts Weiner-esque, bare-chested "selfies" online, and swaggeringly boasts in a dating profile that he's "attractive."
Det. Wojceich Braszczok — the off-duty, NYPD undercover cop who shamed his badge by allegedly joining in a motorcycle gang's terrorizing of a Manhattan family – was arraigned in Manhattan Wednesday on gang assault charges that could cage him for 25 years.

Meahwhile, the dapper but dastardly detective emerged through his online postings as a skirt-chasing braggart who was so careless, he used close variations of the same screen name, "evovillen," for both real-life and undercover communications while infiltrating Occupy Wall Street last year as "Al" the protester.

According to the criminal complaint against him, the off-duty cop was wearing a black vest with the emblem of the NY-based club "Front Line Soldiers" on the back as he used his motorcycle-gloved fist to bust out the rear window of the family's Range Rover.

A former University of California policeman who stirred public outrage by pepper-spraying peaceful student protesters has been awarded $38,000 in worker's compensation for psychiatric damage he claimed to have suffered from the 2011 incident, the university said on Wednesday.
A scathing 190-page report on the incident found that university officials and UC Davis police used poor judgment and excessive force in the confrontation. Pike, who was placed on paid administrative leave for eight months, was eventually fired.

Zero tolerance of free speech is our thing:

OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma Highway Patrol official says four men and a woman have been arrested at the Oklahoma state Capitol after a protest turned raucous and participants knocked over a rope barrier.

OHP Maj. Rusty Rhoades says the five were arrested early Tuesday afternoon on complaints of destruction of state property, obstruction and violating their protest permit. Their names were not released. Rhoades said they were being transported to the Oklahoma County Jail.

Rhoades says a group of about 35 protesters showed up at the Capitol Tuesday morning as part of the Million Mask March, a national movement protesting political corruption. He says one protester was cited for wearing a mask.

Oh, nooooo....not "raucous".... oh, the inhumanity of it all....

And it is illegal to wear a mask in this state??  I had no idea... well, Guy Fawkes, I guess I will have to leave you at home from now on.  Are we allowed to have sock monkeys??


What Oklahoma (and America) needs is more free speech!!

Only if they are on the ballot.   
So this happened on Halloween, where wearing a mask would really stand out?
