One more, Ch. 3. Jonesboro, Ark. officer tases suspect who is scaling a fence. The man falls eight feet and is left paralyzed from the chest down. Eighth Circuit: A jury might think that’s excessive force, but qualified immunity. There’s no prior case on point. Then why not let the jury decide?

Courts have lost credibility: Ch. 2. Green Bay prison guards throw hunger-striking inmate in a below freezing cell overnight without clothes, mattress, or blankets. 7th Circuit: Until now, officers could have thought that was okay. Immunity here but not next time. Really? [email protected]

If anyone wonders how courts have lost credibility, Walker v. Hudson (10th Cir., June 4, 2025) offers a clue: Federal prisoner forced to live in an inch and half of raw sewage. Appeals Ct. sounds gross, but Bivens is dead and it's OK under sovereign immunity. Appeal denied. [email protected]

This metastasized when the Pentagon ramped up sales of surplus armored vehicles to every police department in the country - under Bush and Obama.

Also remember, these very public immigration raids are Trump’s attempt to distract you from the economy that he has singlehandedly fucked up.

Yes. In the New Haven Police case, the Supreme Court upheld the NHPD rule to exclude police candidates with above average IQs. Many police departments filed amici briefs in support of the intelligence ceiling.

This is a powerful clip. I was unaware of his immigration history, but it’s telling that he’s defending innocent children against the criminal administration.

We have a lot of work to do to protect Canada from the rise of fascism. Not all Conservatives are fascists or separatists. But all the fascists and separatists in Canada? They’re either Conservatives or Alberta Republicans. That’s why independent, public journalism matters more than ever.

He hunted down an unarmed woman looking for safety and threatening no one, aimed to shoot her in the head, and got closer so he wouldn't miss. Detective Derek Leone is on the wrong side of law enforcement. He needs incarcerated within the correct side.

I’m just calling it out: everyone who up-votes or likes calls to end or boycott corporate media and then runs over to their bookmarked CNN or MSNBC or ABC or NBC… Yeah we’re talking to you. Corporate media is only propaganda at this point. Independent media needs our focus.
