United Police Kingdom: British Bobbies taser to death another man, at least three police killings in 8 days

For the third time in eight days British Bobbies have killed using a taser, and pepper spray.

August 23, Greater Manchester Police officers tasered to death a 53 year old truck driver. They say they were trying to stop him from killing himself!

August 22, a 25 year old amateur rugby player, died after he was hit in the face with pepper spray and subdued by up to 11 cops.

August 16, a professional bodybuilder, and father of two, was pepper sprayed and then tasered three times with 50,000 volts, before dying.  He became the first Brit to be killed with a taser.

Until last week no one in United Kingdom had been killed by the use of a taser. In United States, Amnesty International says that since 2001, more than 460 people have been killed with a taser.

Radiation decontamination in Japan will be complicated

The Japanese government is about to vote on a standardized decontamination plan.

Here’s a list of suggested decontamination procedures for cities and towns:

High pressure washing of homes and buildings, including rain gutters.

Trimming of outer leaves and branches on bushes and trees.

Pulling up smaller plants and removal of top soil.

Washing roads, including flushing joints on asphalt and concrete roads, removing mud and dirt along roadsides.

All removed soil and plant material must be treated as nuclear waste.

The Japanese government will vote on a standardized plan on 26 August 2011.  The amazing thing is that it’s been more than five months since the start of the ongoing nuclear disaster, and they’re just now coming up with a standardized national government decontamination plan.

United Police States of America: Cop tasers waiter, for the fun of it, official police investigation calls tasers “toys”

A former police officer from Gwinnett County, Georgia, will serve a year of probation after pleading no contest to tasering a waiter for the fun of it.

The incident happened in February 2009, and it took this long for the case to go to court.

The waiter said the Georgia cop always intimidated and harassed  restaurant employees.  It took place in front of other police officers, who did nothing.

Then one night in February 2009, while the waiter was talking with the other cops, he was tasered from behind.  Not only that, but the Georgia cop that tasered him did so for a full minute.

The cop feels not regret.  The Gwinnett County News reported that the cop stated: “Who says I did it by accident?”

The restaraunt’s security camera recorded the whole thing, but it took attorney’s several months to get the video.

The official police investigation concluded that the rogue cop liked to use his taser “like a toy.”

Two years later the now former cop gets only probation for his fun.  Apparently the other cops who were present resigned from their jobs.

United Police States of America: New York City preps for mass civil unrest, focuses on trolling Social Media

According to The Metro, recently the NYPD “Disorder Control Unit” held a massive civil unrest exercise involving 180 cops.

One New York City cop arrogantly dismissed recent riots in England: “The London response wasn’t that great, they were outnumbered and taken by surprise.”-Mike Codella, retired NYPD detective

Part of the training involves teaching the cops how to “troll” social media sites.  The trolling skills are now mandatory for a newly created juvenile justice unit

United Police Kingdom: Bobbies arrest one of their own, for revealing the Rupert Murdoch phone hacking scandal

Scotland Yard arrested one of their own, for revealing to the public that newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch were hacking into cell phones.

The 51 year old policeman was released on bail.  His name has not been made public.

The London Metropolitan Police (Scotland Yard) admit the officer was arrested because everyone in the know about the phone hacking had been ordered not to say anything to the public.

This only makes Scotland Yard look more suspicious in the public’s eye, because some people say they were involved in helping Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers get private info on specific individuals, including members of the Royal Family.

Obama wants troops to stay in Afghanistan until 2024, Russia says it doesn’t make sense

Afghan officials have told British media that the U.S. and Afghanistan have agreed to keep thousands of U.S. troops in country until 2024!

The deal would allow U.S. forces to use Afghan military bases, provide facilities to store massive numbers of U.S. military equipment, and allow thousands of military personnel to stay, including special forces.

Russian officials pointed out that the deal doesn’t make sense: “If the job is done, if terrorism is defeated and peace and stability is brought back, then why would you need bases?  If the job is not done, then several thousand troops, even special forces, will not be able to do the job that 150,000 troops couldn’t do.  It is not possible.”-Andrey Avetisyan, Russian Ambassador to Afghanistan

The Russians should know, they got their butts kicked by the Afghans back when Russia was part of the Soviet Union.  They did exactly what the U.S. is doing now, trying to train up the Afghan government to take on the “terrorists”.  The Soviet Union left Afghanistan in 1989, but continued to supply weapons and trainers to the Afghan government.  The Afghan government lasted until 1992, brought down by a civil war that lasted until 1996.  The civil war ended in 1996 when the Taliban took control of the country.

United Police Kingdom: British Bobbies taser man to death, on his daughter’s birthday

For the second time in one month British cops killed a man.  The first time resulted in riots that lasted a week.  It’s been proven that police lied about how the killing happened.

This time cops used their tasers to kill.  A professional bodybuilder, and father of two, was pepper sprayed and then tasered three times before dying.  Some reports say it was his 4 year old daughter’s birthday.

Read the pathetic police statement: “The man became unwell following the arrest and was taken to Furness general hospital by officers. At around 9pm the man, who was in his 20s and lived locally, was pronounced dead.”

Details of the incident are strange.  Police claim the man was acting violent, the only problem is that he was home and alone.  So who was he acting violent with?

Police claim they were called about a disturbance at an apartment building.  Neighbors say it’s normal to hear people yelling in that neighborhood.  Most locals said they didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, so they were shocked to hear that British Bobbies had killed one of their neighbors, apparently for disturbing the peace.

Here’s what friends and relatives had to say about the victim: “The police went overboard with the taser. They didn’t need to taser him three times.”-unnamed friend of bodybuilder

“Dale was definitely not a violent person.”–Stan Dewhurst, owner of Flex Appeal gym, where victim worked out

“You will always be my pride and joy, Mum’s baby boy.”-victim’s mother

“You were not just my big brother, but my hero and idol.”-victim’s sister

“Dale was a really good lad, we went to the gym together, he’d been going since he was 15.”-another unnamed friend
