Albuquerque Police shoot and kill a man who was holding Brake Pads
Here is a video of the goon thugs in Albuquerque shooting a white man. Notice how the handful of cops pretend the man who is shot to pieces is still dangerous. - Paul Craig Roberts
Alt-Market: FBI Report Accidentally Exposes The Severity Of The Police State ■ A recently published FBI report accidentally proves that while the police claim cops face growing threats from rowdy populations–like in Ferguson–the opposite is true. The report presents law enforcement deaths in 2013. The report found that across the entire country, only 76 LEOs were killed in “line-of-duty” incidents. 27 died as a result of “felonious” acts and 49 officers died in accidents–namely, automobile (ironically, of the 23 killed in car accidents, 14 were not wearing seat belts–a violation for which cops routinely ticket drivers). More officers die from accidents than actual murders on the job. The report also outright admits that intentional murders of cops were down from 2004 and 2009.
WSWS: UN report documents torture, police violence in US ■ It will not come as any surprise to readers of the WSWS that the country named is not China, or Russia, or Iran, or some other target of the American ruling class, but the US itself. The government that claims the right to bully, blockade, and attack any country in the world in the name of “human rights” and “democracy” is guilty of the most heinous crimes. The language of the report is both cautious and bureaucratic, and there are strained efforts to congratulate the Obama administration on alleged improvements, compared to the Bush administration, on such practices as extraordinary rendition and waterboarding. But the overall impact of this indictment is damning. [...] While this remains a closed book to the American political establishment, the report underscores the seamless connection between military violence overseas and militarized police violence at home.
