seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are
near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when we are far
away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the

Rwanda to send troops to CARComment on this story
Kigali -
Rwanda said on Wednesday it would send some 800 troops to the Central African Republic next week, as part of an African Union (AU) force to help restore security.
Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo told local radio: "Our troops will arrive in CAR in about ten days. AU asked us for a battalion which is about 800 soldiers."
Rwanda had announced last month it would send troops but had not said how many would be dispatched or when.
Mushikiwabo acknowledged the problems in the Central African Republic were "very complex" but stressed that Kigali's stated policy was to "contribute to global peacekeeping."
The troops are being briefed about the terrain and the conflict and the non-French speakers are receiving some language training, the minister said.
The AU force in CAR is due to be 6 000 strong at full strength, working alongside about 1 600 French troops.
By late December, more than 4 000 troops were already deployed, with 850 Burundians, 800 Cameroonians, 850 from Congo Republic, 850 from the Democratic Republic of Congo, 500 from Gabon, 200 from Equatorial Guinea and 850 Chadians.
European Union nations are considering a joint military operation in CAR to help the African and French troops already deployed, experts said Wednesday. A decision is expected on January 20.
The Central African Republic spiralled into chaos after a March coup in which the mainly Muslim Seleka rebel group overthrew president Francois Bozize.
Rebel leader Michel Djotodia was installed as the first Muslim leader of the majority Christian nation and disbanded the Seleka, but many rebels went rogue, spreading terror which government forces could not stop.
Months of brutal massacres, rapes and looting have followed, with locals forming Christian vigilante groups in response to the atrocities. - Sapa-AFP

Calvary's Jordan Fielder slides into home past Converse catcher Fallon Hicks during fifth inning action of their game on Friday in the Calvary Spring Fling Tournament. Calvary won 9-4.
- Filed Under
Shaking off a lackluster performance after a day removed from practice, the Calvary Lady Cavaliers had enough in the tank to get past Converse 9-4 on Friday afternoon in the second annual Calvary Spring Fling Tournament.
Kenzie Glover went 3-for-3 with a double and two RBIs to lead the attack for coach Tiffany Bruton. Jordan Fielder and Mallory LaLena posted two hits and two runs apiece to aid the cause.
"I'm not sure if we were hung over from the John Curtis game on Wednesday or from not practicing yesterday, but we came out sluggish," Bruton said. ...

Mac OS X Lion integrates Server release into client OS
updated 10:40 am EST, Thu February 24, 2011
Includes Profile Manager, local and remote admins
In a switch from a previous approach with Mac OS X, the Server edition of the Lion developer preview is integrated into the client software, Apple has revealed. When carried over to the final version of Lion, the switch should make Server setup easier and potentially cheaper. Selecting Server mode guides users through a configuration process for local and/or remote administration options such as groups, e-mail, calendars and Time Machine.
Also incorporated is a Profile Manager, used to manage iOS devices and other Macs running Lion. The tool is said to integrate with existing directory services, and distribute profile updates by way of Apple's push notification service. If WebDAV is enabled in Server, iPad users can access documents from programs like the iWork suite.
The new Server software further incorporates Wiki Server 3, used to share information within a group. Some content options include pages for podcasts and personal profiles. Improvements include simpler filesharing, along with a new Page Editor tool.

An effort will be made to redistribute the computer equipment to a location within the College that may make use of the equipment. In this case, the computer is put back into service somewhere else on campus.
2. Sell
Any hardware considered being no longer of use or service to the college shall be sold wherever possible. ITS will ensure the hardware is cleared of all software licensed to the college and any data left by the previous user. ITS will determine a fair market price and consider the appropriate way to sell the equipment for the best price.
3. "Parts"
Hardware that cannot be sold and can no longer be used, but has useful parts, will be cannibalized for those parts.
4. Donate
The equipment that cannot be put back into service, sold, and cannot be used for parts will be donated whenever possible.
5. Dispose
If it is determined that computer equipment cannot meet any of the above categories, then it will need to be disposed of. ITS will dispose of the equipment in compliance with all state and federal laws. ITS will make every effort to be environmentally responsible.

Last night's NBA draft was touted to have the most talented draft class in recent years.
And while their pro basketball chops have yet to be seen, we already saw some serious style upside in a few of the guys—and plenty of room for improvement. So we're doing a little analyzing of our own, by taking a look at the style prospects of the 2014 NBA draft.
Here's how the newest crop of NBA players stacked up in the style department.»
It's become a time-honored tradition for a son to give his father a token of appreciation on the third Sunday of June.
That's this Sunday, mind you. And since you don't have the time to wade through the nearly endless stream of gift guides touting the latest gadgetry, machinery and sockery dear ol' Dad must have, we cut through all the noise to help you figure out where to focus your attention. Whether your old man is a fisher, a gamer or just likes a good pocket square, we've got you covered. (Luckily, you've still got two-day shipping on your side.)
Herewith, your guide to the father's day gift guides: »
The great Paul Newman was so many things—actor, director, race car enthusiast, savvy businessman, generous humanitarian, devoted husband—that we occasionally forget about some of his other achievements. Namely: rocking navigator-style sunglasses so hard, we're surprised the sun didn't break at some point.
As we approach peak shade season, here's some surprisingly flashy inspiration from a man who always managed to stay self-deprecating...»
Recently, reports have been trickling out that Google and NASA are in cahoots on a secret project known only as "Google Planetary Ventures."
Which got us thinking about the great mystique surrounding a secret project name—sometimes borrowed from Latin, sometimes a cheeky nod, but always conveying the gravitas of the situation. And more importantly, it reminded us of some of our favorites throughout history.
Herewith, the greatest secret project names of all time...»
The Kempt 100 is our definitive list of the 100 best-dressed men of the past 100 years.
You don't have to be Italian to make this list, but... it sure helps. And that's why our next batch of legends includes a molto bene leading man, a couple all-American leading men, a Beatle and the fighter they called the greatest.
See who made the list after the jump.»
When it comes to music, what you listen to is your own business—when you're listening on headphones, at least.
But what you might not realize is that whatever you've got jammed into your ears or slung across your cranium is projecting something to the world. In other words, the most important choice you make when listening to tunes on the go isn't about the music, it's the headphones.
Luckily, we've put together this handy guide on what your choice is saying about you.»
Don't let the greeting card industry fool you—no matter how well-phrased a few rhyming couplets might be, Valentine's Day is just like any other day.
Which means your date tomorrow night could go any number of ways, including downhill. Or at least into an awkward spiral from which it may or may not recover. It happens to the best of us. So, partly in celebration and partly as a cautionary tale, we present to you:
The five most awkward movie dates in cinematic history...»
News flash: Valentine's Day is this Friday.

The Kempt 100 is our definitive list of the 100 best-dressed men of the past 100 years.
If there's one thing to be gleaned from our next batch of Kempt 100 Legends, it's this: speak softly and carry a big... guitar. Yep, four of the next five plucked the six-string for a living. And the other guy, well... let's just say he didn't have any problem with groupies either...

Characters who were under used in the movies

Re: Characters who were under used in the movies
George Takei pushed for his character to get a promotion. By doing so, he also basically ensured that he would not be part of the main action of the film and cut his screen time. Not the best move.
Uhura was criminally underused throughout the films in general, but the same was true in the series.
Chekov fared a little better at least. We saw less stagnation from him than we did from the other characters. He was chief of security in TMP, then he was first officer of the Reliant in TWOK, then he took on both communications and science officer roles to help his friends in TSFS, and then he got some really good scenes in TVH. Unfortunately, he was back at his navigator station in TFF and TUC, which made absolutely no sense.

I was recently contacted by a representative at Gourmet-Cookie-Bouquets.com, asking if I was interested in co-hosting a cookie bouquet giveaway. I wasn't familiar with the company or its products, so I went to the site, browsed around, and read some reviews.
I was really impressed with the creativity of each of the themed cookie bouquets. Reviewers raved about the taste of the cookies. So, I opted in to the giveaway. I would love for one of my readers to win one of these cookie bouquets to help celebrate the arrival of summer!
I looooove me some sugar cookies. Soft cookies, crisp cookies, plain cookies, frosted cookies. I will eat them all!
The cookies that go into these cookie bouquets are labor-intensive. Make the dough, roll the dough, cut the dough, bake the cookies, outline the cookies, fill with frosting, let dry. As much as I love frosted sugar cookies, I usually only make them when I'm asked to donate to charity events, or make a cookie platter for an event, but rarely for home consumption, and the labor is the main reason why.
Thanks to the Gourmet Cookie Bouquet company, though, you have the opportunity to win one of TWO cookie bouquets! Yes, two lucky winners will be able to choose any of their summer cookie bouquets. Each bouquet is valued at up to $75.00.
Some bouquets contain nothing but sugar cookies cutouts, others contain a mix of sugar cookie cutouts and flavors like chocolate chip, white chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, chocolate chip pecan, M&M, snickerdoodle and peanut butter with chocolate frosting!
Here's the rules:
- You must be 18 years of age or older to enter;
- You must reside in one of the 48 continental United States;
- You must leave a comment on at least one of the participating blogs in order to enter;
- Any other methods of entry in the contest are optional, and do gain you extra chances to win;

Let me get this straight: this cop in DeKalb, GA, demands that a woman talking on her headset tell him to whom she's talking, and breaks her wrist when she ignores him? There's a whole world of "What the fuck?" in this, starting with the fact that this asshole thinks that being a thug with a uniform (that was hanging in his closet while he decided to act like Mr. Bigshot Tough Guy) gives him the right to order somebody to tell him who's on the phone, passing through the fact that he felt the need to physically assault her when she ignored him, and ending with the fact that he didn't end up sitting in the back of a squad car with his own handcuffs on.
Of course, I'm sure he was just following procedure, this was an isolated incident, and there's no need for us "civilians" to question the legitimacy of his actions.

As a long time band geek, and one who used school instruments (tubas), I must say that the instrument sterilization law is one of the more asinine pieces of legislation I have seen. At he beginiing of the school year, our tubas would be given a bath (in a tub) with soapy water, then taken apart to let dry out. I don't know how "professional sterilization" would do any better (what, steam clean it and bathe it in Listerine? I have no idea).
Nothing like solving a problem that doesn't exist…especially to expand the pocketbook of a single individual.
Plus, VH-1's Save the Music charity would have to be changed to Bathe the Music.

It's the hypocrisy of it that I dislike. They should just enact a law that allows cops to beat the shit out of anyone who doesn't show them "proper respect" (as defined by the individual cop). I mean, if cops who assault people aren't going to be punished, they should come right out and make it official. That way people wouldn't have the audacity to keep disrespecting the all-powerful authority of cops and expecting the law to actually punish cops who aren't developmentally advanced enough to exercise the same degree of restraint over their egos and emotions that most children are capable of.

The AJC story about the GA cop who broke the woman's wrist focuses on the fact that he didn't identify himself as an officer. This seems completely wrong: even if he was in full uniform, what was his reasonable basis for harrassing, arrresting and assaulting her?

Damn good point, SJE. We should start a new reporting site that takes stories like this, subjects them to our normal commenting process, and then republishes them with the correct perspective.
The average reader is never going to zero in on details like this and it's pretty obvious that it's way beyond the analytical capacity of the main stream media to question the slant (and outright lies) put out by law enforcement organizations.

Dontcha just love how the cop always gets a paid vacation ("administrative leave") after shit like this happens? That will teach him!
IMHO the above practice is backwards. If there is reasonable suspicion that a cop has committed wrongdoing, the suspension should be without pay. If the cop is cleared after a REAL investigation he should be given back pay for the time he was suspended. Isn't that how most of us are treated by our employers?

Reporters don't have time to do actual reporting, so they simply take what the police feed them and regurgitate it with some slightly different wording. I get press releases emailed to me from our PD precinct here, and I've seen some of them appear verbatim on local news sites (MSM stuff).
Anyway, yes, I look at this from the same perspective as others here. Why was this guy not arrested? Why are they "investigating"? If I kidnapped somebody I'd be in jail right now, and rightly so. Why has no warrant been issued? Why didn't the police go after the warrant instead of the victim?
It's just sad what our police forces have turned into.

I think the bigger question is, why didn't he taser her too?
She clearly was not following his orders. Disorderly conduct? Of course!
I think after this fine officer gets off of his paid vacation (err.. administrative leave) He should be required to go back through taser 101 training, so he can fully use the tools that we the tax payer have provided him.
I wonder who pays the medical bills when an off duty cop breaks your wrist, but there are no charges.

The suspension with pay is pretty standard with good reason. You should do an investigation before you punish someone. By the same token in some cases you also can't have the person on the streets continuing their duties. One other advantage is that as long as they are still an employee they can be compelled to answer questions during an IA.
It's nice to hear that a warrant was being sought in this case.

I thought this was what Progressive groups were doing. You know, cause that was the outcome in places like the Eastern Bloc…
And as for cops on admin. leave, rather than getting reimbursed for leave without pay if cleared of charges, well, they already know that the cops are gonna get cleared of charges, so why go through the exercise and all that paperwork. Just keep paying them.

It's easy to believe. The left never opposed anything Bush did on principle, but rather because of who was doing it. The dumbest excuse often cited for opposing the prescription drug plan was that it was "a give away to the drug companies." Well duh, no shit sherlock. Did anyone think that expanding their customer base, even marginally, would be bad for them?
From the wars, to the surveillance policies, to the bailouts, the left was just pissed off at it being the Republicans in power. The Republicans stabbed each faction of their base, neocons notwithstanding, in the back. The libertarians got screwed, the social conservatives got a token executive order cutting foreign aid to groups that are involved with abortion, and that's about it for them unless you want to claim the Terri Schiavo incident as some sort of real bone thrown to them rather than a publicity circus for some congresscritters.

Re: Waste
I understand that an "investigation" needs to take place. However, this is the point, if I had kidnapped someone and broken their wrist, the investigation would take place while I was in jail or out on bond. I definitely would have rightly been arrested for that on the spot. It's frightening to me how when cops obviously break the law it takes so much effort to determine that to be the case.
It reminds me of the Hollywood, FL cops who were caught fabricating a story against a DUI that they had hit with a car. A real investigation into that would take 5 minutes or so, it just involves listening to a recorded conversation. So when police come up with these silly stories about doing proper investigations, it looks like they're really trying to delay so that when they do the cover up for their buddies later the public will have forgotten about the initial incident.
Same with the Jonathan Ayers case. Etc.

I just sent the Innocence Project a nice donation! As per the NY Times, a 41 year old mentally disabled man serving life for a rape/murder he supposedly committed at the age of 15 has been cleared by DNA and is set to be freed from prison. The story says that Florida wanted to give him the death penalty, but that little thing called BEING A CHILD was the only thing that saved him. It is disgusting enough when an adult is wrongly convicted, but a child (and a mentally challenged one at that). I don't know what kind of compensation he can get, and he will need all the help he can get. Me thinks some cops and prosecutors need to go to jail.

Followup on the Ayers case:
Investigators said that deputies were going after a woman inside a car being driven by Ayers. They said that when she got out at the gas station, agents moved in.
Note that this is, what, story #5 from the dirty cops? Remember that in the earlier stories he had dropped her off somewhere and then went to the gas station. Now they're claiming that she was at the gas station. This is useful, as there were other witnesses at the station. Did any of them see her? Does she exist? Or are they scrambling to get one of their snitches to lie?
Note the single comment on this story:
Some of the town's folks say that the officers are going around bragging about it. I will be sure to follow this story.
It's hearsay, but sadly believable.

In the Georgia article, and maybe I'm just slow today, but what was the officer even engaging this lady in the first place? Was she "disorderly" prior to him engaging her? Or disorderly after he started screwing with her? I'm having trouble from the article even fathoming what she could possibly have been doing that in any bizzaro universe warranted this cop bothering her.
I know the writer refers to the police report, but what. the. hell. was this guy even trying to accomplish? Was she saying "fuck" a lot, and so this was "for the children" or something? Why didn't the reporter dig a little harder on this one. Seems odd from the outset.

cleavingSpace, I never understand why anyone would be happy when some economic problem disproportionately hits wealthy people. How does that help the rest of us? It doesn't. It just means that the investments they would have made will be reduced, eventually lowering the economic opportunities for everyone else.
The attitude that hard times for the rich are good for the non-rich is just zero-sum-game nonsense. Even if one thinks that income inequality is a terrible social scourge, the worst way to reduce it is by making everyone equally poor.
Economic jealousy doesn't help anyone. The question isn't whether my slice of the pie is as big as someone else's, but whether it is getting bigger over time. If my economic situation is improving, even if someone else's is improving faster, how does it help me to torpedo the system (or to cheer when something torpedoes it)?

How is that possible? I thought the big argument for letting the rich stay so disproportionately rich was because "they pay most of the taxes!!"
And, therefore, when their income goes down, so does the amount of taxes they pay. If the wealthy are hit harder by economic downturns than the rest of us and the rich are paying a disproportionate share of the taxes, then tax revenues necessarily suffer disproportionately during a downturn. In some sense, that means everyone else has to pick up the slack, though it doesn't work that way directly. What actually happens is that the government diverts more money from private investment by running deficits and selling bonds to cover them. That diverted investment will tend to slow economic recovery and lower long-term growth.
BTW, no one is "letting" wealthy people keep their wealth. No one needs your or my permission to keep what they have earned, whether or not they are paying more than the rest of us for government services. The idea that the non-wealthy are doing the wealthy some sort of favor by not confiscating even more of their income is an authoritarian mainstay, akin to "letting" people own guns, "letting" people smoke tobacco or pot, "letting" people raise and school their own kids, or "letting" people walk around without ID. To the extent the U.S. is adopting that you-only-have-what-the-government-allows-you-to-have mentality, we are hastening our decline.

Well, for one thing, increases in your wages may be trending toward 0, at which point your economic situation would not be improving. For another thing, if your income is growing slower than literally everyone else's, then chances are your inflation-adjusted wage growth is actually negative.

One thing to understand is that an IA is not a criminal investigation. It is completely seperate. In the GA case you have the prosecutor asking from a warrant (criminal side of the investigation) while the internal is still on going with his department. To further illustrate the difference is that in an IA you will generally be given a Garrity advisement. It's name comes from a court decision. One aspect of this is that nothing that comes out while under the advisement can be used against you in a criminal proceeding. The reason I believe is that there is no 5th amendment protection in an IA.
One thing that I didn't see mentioned in this story that is significant is if the department the officer worked for was the same as the department that responded. Many officers do not live in the jurisdiction they work. If he did than his department may have called in an outside department to investigate to avoid a conflict. Not saying that did happen but it does happen. In that case not arresting and seeking a warrant would not be that unusual.
As for being in jail before the investigation that isn't how things work. Or at least suppose to work. There has to be probably cause of the arrest and to be sent to jail. The investigation establishes the probably cause. State laws differ, but where I am in many felony cases suspects are released pending charges. The fact there were broken bones would indicate to me that it is a felony though GA law may differ. That means they are detained, but not arrested, the case is sent to a investigator that then seeks a warrant on the person. Once the warrant is issued, then the person is arrested. Again, not saying that is the case here as GA may do things differently than where I am. So the seeking of the warrant instead of an arrest on site doesn't seem too unusual to me at this point in the story. The delay also isn't so unusual. There was a holiday on Monday so there could be a delay nor do we know if they have a back log. From what I've seen here a couple weeks for a warrant is not that unusual.
Yes there are bad cops. There are also whitewash investigations. Just as there are DA's that don't charge officers when they should. However in this specific case so far I don't see anything out of the ordinary based on the information given. Other than the conduct of the officer of course. Right now I'd say let it play out before we claim they are all involved in a cover up. Or at least til we have some more solid information that that is the case.

Matt D, certainly, bad trends are bad trends, regardless of which derivative we are looking at. And, generally, I only speak in terms of real wages, inflation-adjusted (though it's sometimes worth considering issues in how inflation is measured/reported).
My point was that a bad trend for wealthy people doesn't imply a good trend for the non-wealthy and that people snickering about some problem that has hit the wealthy are usually just being foolish.

On the off-duty officer handcuffing the woman in Georgia, the article states: "[H]e but did not have a badge or any identification with him."
Is becoming a police officer like being granted knighthood? Do you become a different class of citizen? I would think that — outside of an emergency situation, in which case any of us would have the authority to take actions necessary to save lives — a cop should have no authority should he lack his credentials.

While you would think that is true it's not always the case. Though in many cases an off duty officer or even an on duty officer that is outside their jurisdiction has no enforcement powers. Some states grant them the powe to detain in some circumstances such as a felony commited in their presence. This varies by State of course.
As for the second part it again may vary by State. However some only require that the officer identify themselves as such. This can be done verbally and they do not have to show a badge to prove it. What is to stop someone from falsely claiming to be an officer? Nothing really. Though impersonating an officer is also a crime.

Waste, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it doesn't help beyond possibly shedding light on something that needs to be changed.
I think it's nice that an IA is taking place ("nice" here in the context of telling my child "I think it's nice that you caught a frog, now run along"). However, the officer committed at least one felony and likely two. These are *criminal* acts. If the report is correct, that makes him a (all together now) *criminal*. Criminals belong (all together now) in jail.
The IA is a good thing for the department to fire someone who's possibly not mentally stable based (on this account). But that doesn't mean he doesn't face criminal charges and go to jail. Losing your job isn't a penalty, it's just the result of being unfit for the job.
The cop at the scene should have arrested him. Period.
A lot of what freaks us out around here in these cases is not the actions of the rogue cops – it's the guys who are in a position to stop the rogue cops but instead side with them.

Michael Moore's utter hypocrisy is just sickening. It's hard to believe that after all the bullshit that GWB did while he was president, the left so willfully ignores the fact that their favorite dictator is ten time worse than our previous president.
Umm…Hugo Chavez is no more a dictator than George W. Bush was. He is the legitimately elected President of Venezuela. He was elected in 1999, defeated a recall vote in 2004 and won re-election in 2006 with over 60% of the vote.

'McMoore said she applied for a warrant in DeKalb County Magistrate Court. As of Wednesday afternoon, no warrant had been issued.'
Which means the next phase will involve Ms McMoore constantly getting pulled over and ticketed, parking tickets, etc until she realizes who's in charge.

Your reply relies wholly on the implication that one cannot be a dictator if one is elected. Being a dictator has nothing to do with elections, except inasmuch as dictators generally won't stand for free and fair elections that might cost them their power.
There is nothing theoretically wrong with the idea of a country that wants to be ruled by a dictator, and keeps electing (in free and fair elections, even!) the same guy to do the job. In fact, many of Castro's fans probably wouldn't be his fans if they couldn't keep convincing themselves that the Cuban elections are free and fair, and the Cuban people actually want the Castro Bros running things.
If you want to convince us that Chavez is not a dictator, don't tell us that he was elected: tell us how he doesn't have the power to shut down his opposition by turning off television and radio stations. And so on.

September 10th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
I'm not disagreeing with you. Many people assume the IA and criminal charges are one and the same. They aren't. Pesonally I don't think any police department should investigate criminally one of their own. To much potential for a conflict or appearance of conflict, favoritism, etc. An outside department with jurisdiction should investigate it.
The IA can only make determinations in regards to the person continued employement at the agency. Generally they can unfound it, written reprimand, suspend with pay, suspend without pay, or terminate.
Again the IA and criminal charges are completely seperate other than they regard the same incident. You can have an IA that terminates someone and no charges are filed or an IA that unfounds something and they are charged and convicted.
Before people jump to conclusions check to see if it's standard for GA or the department involved to issue a warrant prior to arresting someone on felony charges. In some cases it is so the fact the person was not arrested immediately may not be an indicator of nefarious conduct by the officers that responded. The fact that a warrant was applied for, on first read, indicates to me that is the case.
You have good reason to be freaked out when cops cover for other cops. However there is no indication so far that this is what happened in this case.
I hope there is some follow up on this. What charges are listed on the warrant application? Also the police report should indicate if the charges are pending following the issuance of the warrant. The police report should be public information depending on the state disclosure law a felony report can be with held (prior to trial) or may have to go thru the DA to get a copy.

I think you're mistaken. The cops on the scene did not apply for or obtain a warrant. The victim took it upon herself to go to the courthouse and apply for a warrant, and the warrant has not been issued. The cops are probably pissing themselves laughing at this woman's naivete in thinking that her complaint will result in an arrest.
#56 |
Fluffy |
September 10th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
Actually, Waste, upon further investigation, it appears that the criminal procedure laws in GA allow a victim to apply for a warrant after the police refuse to arrest.
So the fact that the victim pursued a warrant at the courthouse is evidence that the police refused to respond, and not evidence that the police have some sort of ongoing arrest process underway.
In order to obtain an arrest warrant, an applicant first needs a police report. It is possible that, upon the reporting of the matter to the police, the police may proceed with the investigation and arrest of the accused. If the police will not prosecute, then the applicant may apply to the Magistrate Court for the issuance of an arrest warrant. A $10 application fee is charged when the application is accepted. There is no fee for domestic violence cases.

//I thought the big argument for letting the rich stay so disproportionately rich was because "they pay most of the taxes!!"//
Entrepreneurs invest time and money into projects that they think will net a return sufficient to justify the effort they're putting in and the risk that they may return less than desired. Such projects generally employ other people, and indeed most workers owe their employment to them.
Put simply: people are willing to invest effort and take risks because they think that doing so will make them richer than other people who do not put forth such effort and take such risks, i.e. increase the "wealth gap". Get rid of the "wealth gap" and there will no longer be any incentive for people to engage in the sorts of entrepreneurship that make economic growth possible.
It is true that inflation will cause someone whose dollar-denominated wages remain constant to have a declining real wage. That in no way, however, implies that it is not possible for everyone to have increasing real wages, nor that an entrepreneur's rapidly-increasing wage must devalue the more-slowly-increasing wages of his workers. If an executive doubles the value of income generated by his company each year, and increases his salary from 10% of that income to 20% (a fourfold increase in salary), the other workers will receive a smaller share of the generated income than they did before, but instead of dividing up 90% of the old income, they'll be dividing up 160%. True, they only get a 77% raise (16/9-1) while the boss gets a 300% raise, but that's still a 77% increase in real value.

September 10th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Again, Waste, understood, and thanks for your continued thoughts. But you're missing what I'm getting at here.
The victim had to apply for the warrant. Not the cop at the scene who should have arrested his buddy. The *victim* had to do it herself.
Had *I* broken her wrist after kidnapping her, she wouldn't have had to apply for the warrant as I'd already be in jail. The fact that he didn't go to jail means the other cop is covering for him. Period, end of story.
Everybody else here knows my stand, but in case you don't: I believe cops should be held to a *far higher* standard than non-officers.

Waste |
September 10th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Fluffy and Michael,
I missed the part where the victim had to apply for the warrant. So I stand corrected on that part and thanks for pointing that out. This would also seem to indicate your concerns about covering for another another officer are well founded. My next question would be was a report even done on the incident? It would be interesting to get a copy of the CAD report and look at the call notes and the closing disposition. If the off duty officer and the responding officers were of different agencies than you can add the responding officers and agency to any civil suit. They should also probably be subject to an IA and not just the off duty officer.

While I think you gave a very measured and thoughtful response, I have to agree with Michael Chaney #47. Losing your job is not a punishment, it is the result of poor performance, performance in a LEOs case that often means injury to someone else. Being charged with a crime for a criminal act is a punishment, one that seemingly applies equally, except that some are more equal than others.
#63 |
Ariel |
September 10th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
There was a lot between before I commented. Again, I think you gave great responses. On IA, I think whitewash is simply too common, likely from the pressure of the culture. Mr. Balko has shown, as has numerous other sites, that on a particular incident where the IA issued a "no fault found" only to later find the officer either continuing to commit the same offense, or being tried and convicted for the very incident IA said "no fault found".
This is an indication of corruption or incompetence that we, as Americans, really shouldn't tolerate.
#64 |

September 10th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
The problem is that an IA can't pursue criminal charges. Granted it's not a punishment for a criminal act but it isn't designed to. Nor should it. If it could bring criminal charges then you would have two seperate criminal systems. One for law enforcement and another for everyone else. Or you would create a serious double jeopardy issue. Neither is desirable.
An IA can only be inititiated by the employer. In many cases it may initiate one for something that happened outside their jurisdiction so they couldn't bring criminal charges anyways.
I agree that some get preferential treatment. Nor is it limited to law enfocement. Politicians also come to mind in that regard.
I have seen many stories on this site of whitewash IA's. My personal opinion is the agency thinks it will limited their liability. I don't agree and think it actually ticks off the jury during the damages portion, but I suspect that is their thinking. I don't think that a whitewash is to common (though you could argue just one occurance is to many) but I think it is more likely is certain kinds of incidents or certain types of agencies.
A lot of complaints on officers are truly false. Many involve traffic tickets and come down to the person being mad that they got the ticket and will complain that the officer was rude or they didn't get to see the radar, etc. Now being rude may be unprofessional but it is not criminal. You also have cases where the person is upset that they were arrested and will make up a story trying to get out of it. This isn't a frequent occurance just as officer misconduct isn't frequent. Though both are frequent enough that people are aware of them and make generalizations or jump to conclusions. There are a number of comments above that state 'all officers are corrupt'. That is no more true than saying everyone that is arrested is guilty.
Again, I think to many people don't understand the difference between an IA and a criminal charge. Nor do I think the same agency should perform both. An outside has to be called in to perform one of those functions because of Garrity. The same agency knowing the results of an IA is to easily influenced in the pursuit of criminal charges and this would make it to easy to reverse any conviction.
Most states I think have a "Color of Authority" statute that is basically a criminal enchancement to any crime commited by an on duty officer for example. The problem, as has been pointed out before, is getting the prosecution in the first place and then getting this charge also added. This law is a good one, the problem is getting people to enforce it of course.

That would have been a good time for the victim to have a carry permit considering the "cop" didn't have his piece or shield.

RealPlayer update fixes security vulnerabilities | The H Security
RealNetworks is warning users about multiple security vulnerabilities in its RealPlayer media player application for Windows; the company says that none of the, now fixed, holes are known to have been used to compromise systems.
The released update, version 188.8.131.52 of RealPlayer, closes three security holes. One hole is related to ASM RuleBook parsing that could be exploited by an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code, another is a memory corruption problem related to MP4 file handling in the QuickTime plugin used by RealPlayer, and the third is a buffer overrun in the Media parser.

It's common for kids to get scrapes and cuts on the playground, but they can be protected from sharp and dangerous items around and outside the home.
Here are some important ways to protect kids from injuries from sharp household objects:
If you're expecting a baby or you already have a child, it's a good idea to:
To check your childproofing efforts, get down on your hands and knees in every room of your home to see things from a child's perspective. Be aware of your child's surroundings and what might be potentially dangerous.
Completely childproofing your home can be difficult. If you can't childproof the entire house, you can shut the doors (and install doorknob covers) to any room a child shouldn't enter to prevent wandering into places that haven't been properly childproofed. For sliding doors, doorknob covers and childproof locks are also great for keeping little ones from leaving your home. Of course, how much or how little you childproof your home is up to you. Supervision is the very best way to help prevent kids from getting injured. However, even the most vigilant parent can't keep a child 100% safe at all times.
Whether you have a baby, toddler, or school-age child, your home should be a haven where your little one can explore safely. After all, touching, holding, climbing, and exploring are the activities that develop your child's body and mind.

Yosemite Valley
( Originally Published Early 1900's )[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Yosemite Valley, or, as it is also called, Yohamite, is situated in the eastern portion of California, and is from 8 to 10 miles long, and a little more than a mile wide. In some places the valley is filled with noble oaks ; in others it opens out into broad, grassy fields. The natural beauties of this region are of world-wide report. It has pine-covered mountains, towering, with very steep slopes, to the height of 3,500 feet, a precipice, or bluff, in one place rising perpendicularly 3,089 feet above the valley ; in another, a rock, almost perpendicular, 3,270 feet high; waterfalls pouring over its sides from heights of 700 to almost 1,000 feet ; and one great waterfall broken into three laps, but of which the whole height is 2,550 feet. Of the other waterfalls on the sides of the valley, the Pohono, or Bridal Veil Water-fall, is particularly to be remarked for its beauty, as well as for its height, which is 940 feet, and almost unbroken. The Yosemite Valley was first entered by white men in 1855, but now, like the valleys of Switzerland, has its hotels and guides, and is yearly visited by American and foreign tourists.

Every December, in the Italian city of Siena, the civil and religious authorities celebrate the festival of Saint Ansano, an early Christian martyr who became one of the city's first patron saints. Although based upon long-established rituals for the liturgical feast of Saint Ansano, the contemporary celebration of this festival was 'invented' as recently as 1968 and represents a striking example of the 'invention of tradition' in a contemporary 'civil religion'. The article examines the origins of the modern and contemporary festival of Saint Ansano, tracing its history and significance for Sienese civil religion from the late 1960s until 2003 - the year in which the 1700th anniversary of Ansano's martyrdom was celebrated in Siena. The article concludes by reflecting on the significance of this festival both for the concept of 'the invention of tradition' and for the nature of 'civil religion' in contemporary Siena.
