New York, NY — After an NYPD officer lied about a deaf woman’s disability and refused to provide a legally mandated translator before wrongfully arresting her, the woman reached a $750,000 settlement this week. Although the inept cop was responsible for wrongfully arresting the deaf woman and violating the Americans With Disabilities Act, taxpayers will bear the burden of the settlement instead of the incompetent officer.
On September 11, 2011, Diana Williams and her husband, Chris Williams, who are both deaf, attempted to evict tenants who had failed to pay rent. After the tenant’s boyfriend allegedly gestured that he had a …read more

Oklahoma City, OK – A school resource officer was recently arrested after he was caught assaulting a student on a surveillance recording. The student had reportedly been in the hallway without a pass, and after he was confronted by officer Thomas Jaha, he went to get a drink of water.
Since he did not leave the hallway immediately and go directly back to class, Jaha went into a rage and attacked the 16-year old boy. Jaha is now facing a misdemeanor assault charge.
Jaha says that the student took an “aggressive stance” so he began to strike the boy, and it was …read more

SWAT operators were among the estimated 70 officers deployed to Denver’s Sustainability Park on October 24 to tear down “tiny homes” erected the group Denver Homeless Out Loud (DHOL). Protest organizers explained that the park had been selected because the Denver Housing Authority, which owns the property, has demolished hundreds of low-income housing units, exacerbating an already critical shortage of affordable homes. Zoning and building code restraints have frustrated efforts to build the “tiny homes” elsewhere in the city.
Had the demonstration proceeded as planned, activists would have erected a makeshift community called Resurrection Village modeled after the 3,000-person tent city …read more

The disturbing video of a school girl being grabbed around the neck by a brawny cop, then tossed around and dragged like an animal, represents a complete lack of human decency. This display of brutality was so bad that Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott has asked the FBI to investigate his employee, Deputy Ben Fields.
The video also represents the epitome of a problem that plagues public schools across the nation, known as the “school to prison pipeline.”
The Center for Public Integrity has a detailed analysis of just how many school kids are subject to the oppression of badges, guns, and …read more

On Tuesday, October 27, oral arguments were held in U.S. District Court in Utah, in the Republican-Constitution Party lawsuit against the law on how parties nominate candidates. The judge said he is inclined to find the law unconstitutional. See this story. It is not clear which provision is in greater jeopardy. The two challenged procedures are: (1) forcing parties to let candidates on their primary ballot who have little support at a party caucus; (2) forcing parties to let independent voters vote in their primaries. The law says parties that don’t allow these things …read more

URGENT Action Item…

In the fight against first CISPA and now CISA, your pressure has worked. The politicians desperately want to give the NSA new, expanded powers to spy on the American people. But public opposition has thwarted them, so far. However…

Politicians tend to play tricks when they can’t get what they want.

That’s what’s happening with the latest version of the CISA …read more

Chicago, IL — After recording a video of plainclothes officers harassing him for ordering a Lyft ride at the airport, a YouTube user was ordered out of the car and had his cellphone confiscated in a failed attempt to delete the video. Although the Lyft driver pleaded with the cops not to impound his vehicle because he could not afford the fees, the officer sadistically punished the driver after blaming the passenger for recording him.
According to a YouTube user who wishes to remain anonymous, he flew into Chicago O’Hare on the evening of September 2 after a long business trip …read more

One of the things that makes the Dark Android Project possible is the advent of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and others of its ilk really make the anonymity that a Dark Android device allows for to be possible, and I couldn’t be happier that these technologies exist to allow people to achieve–as I call it–DAPS in their interactions with the digital world, and even with others in the physical world.
Unfortunately, the same blockchain technology that powers Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (few of which I’m a fan of) is also being used in pilot programs by various large banks around the world. Not …read more
