Marshall, MO — Police refuse to investigate an off-duty officer of using excessive force after mistaking an elderly stroke victim for a drunk driver. Immediately after throwing a 70-year-old man out of his truck, the cop restrained him on the ground by pressing his knee into a blocked artery on the side of the elderly man’s neck. Although he repeatedly informed the officer that he was suffering from a stroke, the enraged cop continued to manhandle him until other officers finally arrived.
While driving to Walmart around 6 p.m. on Sunday, 70-year-old James Miller began feeling dizzy and ill before veering …read more

On October 1, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Heffernan v City of Paterson, New Jersey, 14-1280. The individual who brought the case had been a police detective who was demoted because he was seen with a campaign sign in his car. The lower court, the Third Circuit, upheld his firing. See this story. …read more

This article in the National Post says Canada has 338 House of Commons districts, and almost 1,800 candidates are on the ballot. That works out to 5.3 candidates per district. Four parties have a candidate in all or virtually all districts.
By comparison, in the United States in November 2014, approximately half the districts only had two or fewer candidates on the ballot. Even the Democratic Party didn’t have candidates in 36 of the 435 districts; even the Republicans didn’t have candidates in 41 of the districts.
Ballot access in Canada is equal for every candidate. Every candidate …read more

I have an admission to make: I don’t want a smartphone. Sure, I’ve talked about often having a pocketable device that I can use as my portable computer in some way over the years, but I’ve come to the conclusion that such a device does not need to be a smartphone.
But that said, I do want a communications device (which can be a very different thing than a smartphone). Yes, I’d like to be able to get in touch with friends and lovers via a quick text or a phone call, and as I’m sure you can already conclude, that …read more

Yay! Woohoo! Hip-hip-hooray! Google/Alphabet released new stuff yesterday!
Personally, I don’t give a shit. The phones they announced are pretty much meaningless (but then, what phones aren’t these days?), and don’t offer anything REALLY new. Or at least, certainly not innovative. Iterative? Oh yes. Most companies offer “iterativeness” (that’s not a word, but it should be now) in spades. Apple. Google. You can go down the list. They’re releasing more and more bullshit every year.
But Alphabet/Google is really taking the cake this time. I haven’t seen a more depressing Alphabet/Google event in a while (and I used to be a Google …read more

Baltimore, MD – A Baltimore police officer that was on his way to a community meeting on Monday night decided to stop and harass a man that he came across at an intersection. In the brief encounter, the officer ended up shooting the man because he didn’t show his hands fast enough.
The shooting took place around 7:10 p.m. in the Morrell Park area, and according to a police spokesperson, the victim “refused to take his hands out of his pockets,” so he was shot by Maj. Byron Conaway, a high-ranking officer with the Baltimore Police Department.
After the officer shot the …read more

The agency that enforces federal government’s war on drugs is full of hypocrisy, and the bosses don’t care.
Recent media investigations have found that Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) employees have used drugs, distributed drugs, lied to authorities and committed other serious offenses such as “improper association with a criminal element.”
What’s shocking is that the vast majority of these people have not been fired or even seriously reprimanded, let alone faced criminal charges like normal citizens would.
The USA Today reports:
“The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has allowed its employees to stay on the job despite internal investigations that found they had distributed drugs, …read more

The National Post, a leading daily newspaper published in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has this article about seven minor parties active in the October 2015 election. They include the Green Party, the Libertarian Party, and the Pirate Party, organizations that also exist in the U.S. It is interesting to compare the platforms of those Canadian parties with the platforms of their counterparts in the U.S. …read more
