		<content type="html">by Brian A. Wilkins&lt;BR&gt;3/3/2010&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;After taking the advice of a good friend and near-future &lt;EM&gt;Op-Nat&lt;/EM&gt; contributor, I took a month away from blogging to clear my head of the inevitable realities of our country. Perhaps I should have stayed away longer...&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;February turned out to be one of the most deadly months Operation Nation has ever seen, as the genocide against American citizens by savage police thugs continues unchecked by our alleged "government." Though we count at least 11 murders by police thugs last month, here are three of the most inexcusable (with all due respect to the families of the victims this article does not cover).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/NicholasEugeneScott.png?a=8"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Mr. Nicholas Eugene Scott&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We first visit the murder of unarmed Mr. Nicholas Eugene Scott, the 23-year-old Sanford, FL man, on Friday, February 19. Mr. Scott was murdered in cold blood by Sanford (FL) police thug Steven Lynch, after Lynch says Mr. Scott "was about to run over" some other cop with his car. Of course &lt;A href="http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-02-24/news/os-sanford-police-shooting-20100224_1_david-del-rosso-parking-lot-civilian-eyewitnesses" target=_blank&gt;no witnesses saw any of this&lt;/A&gt; (except the police thugs). Mr. Scott's cousin, Shiyann McGill said there were no bullet holes in the front of her cousin's car...meaning he was likely shot in the back.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Thug Lynch was rewarded with a paid vacation. Euro-American media and the Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement are justifying the murder, saying Mr. Scott was "a convicted felon" and "a fugitive." On a side note, Bella Vista (AR) thug cop Coleman Brackney, &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/08/30/rockford-il-police-thugs-murder-unarmed-mark-anthony-barmore.aspx" target=_blank&gt;Rockford (IL) thug cop Oda Poole&lt;/A&gt;, and &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/07/21/le-sueur-county-mn-police-thug-todd-waldron-murders-unarmed-man.aspx" target=_blank&gt;LeSueur County (MN) thug cop Todd Waldron&lt;/A&gt; all murdered Americans citizens, thus using cop logic, all of them should be murdered immediately.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/JessicaJones.png?a=93" width=160 height=176&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;Ms. Jessica Jones&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Kansas City police thugs murdered unarmed, 19-year-old&amp;nbsp;Jessica Jones on Tuesday, February 23. Police allege Ms. Jones was "driving a stolen vehicle" and "tried to run them over," which prompted &lt;A href="http://www.kansascity.com/2010/02/24/1772098/woman-who-was-killed-by-kc-police.html" target=_blank&gt;four Kansas City police thugs to shoot&amp;nbsp;the young woman 14 times&lt;/A&gt;. Once again, all of the police thugs were rewarded with paid vacations, and Euro-American media justified the murder, saying Ms. Jones had a "criminal history." Ms. Jones lost both of her parents when she was&amp;nbsp;five years old. She is described by her grandmother, Ms. Dorothy Leach,&amp;nbsp;as "one of a kind." Ms. Leach is also wonding (as all of us are) why the police thugs shot this young woman 14 times.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/Picture3.png?a=76" width=153 height=176&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;Mr. Warren Lawrence&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In the inbred cop capital of the country (Louisiana), Mr. Warren Lawrence, 29, was murdered in cold blood on February 9 by Lake Charles police thugs. The &lt;A href="http://www.kplctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=12018006" target=_blank&gt;dispatch records from the night &lt;/A&gt;describe the pre-meditated murder by thug inbred Lake Charles cop Dustin Fontenot. Thug Fontenot arrived on the scene of an alleged burglary call at 7:13pm, more than 20 minutes after another cop named "Cook"&amp;nbsp;had already been there and said everything was all clear. Two minutes later, "Cook" reported shots fired and said a "black male" had entered the home they were checking on. Thug Fontenot, obviously desperate to dress the scene, told other responding officers to "slow it down" while they were en route to the home after he murdered Mr. Lawrence. Fontenot was rewarded with a paid vacation.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Lake Charles police savages&amp;nbsp;are using the proverbial "he had a gun" speel, even though Mr. Lawrence's mother and sister said he did not own&amp;nbsp;a gun. Euro-American&amp;nbsp;media are of course using the "he had a criminal record" speel to justify the murder. Mr. Lawrence leaves behind two young children who will now grow up without a father. His fiancee, Ms. Jessica Lemos, is now&amp;nbsp;in the&amp;nbsp;unenviable position of trying to figure out what to tell the children when they ask where there father is.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Our thoughts are with all the families of the victims. And once again, I must warn American citizens to arm yourselves and NEVER call police for ANYTHING if you value your life.</content>

		<content type="html">by Brian A. Wilkins&lt;BR&gt;3/3/2010&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/DAoconnorinterior.jpg?a=52"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;The View As You Walk Into The Doors Of The U.S. District Court In &lt;BR&gt;DownTown Phoenix.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As many of you know, the &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/12/23/federal-judge-orders-sheriff-joe-arpaio-maricopa-county-to-answer-wilkins-claims.aspx" target=_blank&gt;federal lawsuit vs. Mea Culpa County and Joke Arpaio I filed last year is now in the discovery stages&lt;/A&gt;, which led me to a first actual court appearance yesterday for what is called a Rule 16 Conference. I guess this is the stage where attorneys and parties are supposed to use the proverbial "I cannot comment on pending litigation" jazz, but the truth of the matter is, I have absolutely nothing to hide, as everything being litigated in this lawsuit has already been written in the &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/categories/55%20Days%20In%20Maricopa%20County%20Jail.aspx" target=_blank&gt;55 Days In Maricopa County Jail&lt;/A&gt; series. So here are 5 things you should know about what's happening now:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;1. Three times during this Rule 16 Conference - which, unusually,&amp;nbsp;was held in chambers without a court reporter present - U.S. Magistrate Judge Lawrence O. Anderson referred to DEFENDANT ARPAIO as "Sheriff Joe." I find it unusual that a federal judge would be on a first-name basis with a defendant...especially where the Plaintiff is sitting right in front of him. However, Anderson was a Maricopa County judge from 1990-1998, so this was fully expected, but still disturbing.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;2. Anderson and counsel for Maricopa County, Sherle Rubin Flaggman, took at least 10 minutes of the hour-long conference talking about old Maricopa County court and prosecutor stories. Anderson would also compare me to County Attorney pansy Andy Thomas at one point (which is where he lost most credibility with me). Until genetic testing is done on pansy Andy, we can't even be sure he's really a man, so the comparison is obviously way off base.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;3. Speaking of Flaggman, that woman needs to get laid, seriously.&amp;nbsp;The only thing she has going for her is a cute-as-hell paralegal who has been at her side every time I've seen her. This lady seems to have some sort of personal vendetta against me, and continues to try and obtain my entire medical history beyond the scope of the lawsuit (the broken hand and blood pressure meds). Not that I have anything to hide (except for maybe that Viagra prescription from back in like 2005, after a broken heart temporarily broke my manhood), but the fact HIPAA laws only authorize the "minimun necessary" for litigation, she will follow this, even if I have to ask the Ninth Circuit for their opinion. Regardless, she seems to have Judge Anderson in her hip-pocket, which will make for some interesting times ahead.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;The ironic, bizarro twist to all this is that one of two things can be said about Arpaio's attorney, S. Lee White: she's either a&amp;nbsp;seemingly decent human being (though competitive, which is her job), or is trying to play me for the dope-fiend to catch me sleeping at some point in this thing. You would think the roles of Flaggman and White would be reversed, since Flaggman's "personality" if you will&amp;nbsp;is more congruent with that&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;Joke Arpaio's. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;5. The filthy, nasty, homo Maricopa County jail guard who grabbed my nuts during that now infamous body search while I was in that jail is named Darren Dauch. His name will be added to an Amended Complaint in the next week as a defendant. I'm sure all his MCSO buddies will come to his defense and testify how nice of a person he is; how he has a family; and how he's of high moral character. Well, so were former Colorado evangelical pastor &lt;A href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/01/29/lkl.ted.haggard/" target=_blank&gt;Ted Haggard&lt;/A&gt;, former Florida congressman &lt;A href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/09/foley_resigns_o.html" target=_blank&gt;Mark Foley&lt;/A&gt;, and former Idaho U.S. Senator&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20467347/" target=_blank&gt;Larry Craig&lt;/A&gt;.</content>

DPS has reported two different versions of what happened to these news agencies, which obviously means they are lying about something.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Federal courts and police departments across the country still refer to this spontaneous, unjustified&amp;nbsp;electrocution as "non-lethal force,"&amp;nbsp;despite the fact&amp;nbsp;Tasers have claimed the lives of &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/01/03/federal-appeals-court-rules-taser-incident-excessive-force.aspx" target=_blank&gt;at least 400 Americans since 2001&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Morse is a Moon Valley (Phoenix)&amp;nbsp;High School graduate and was in town from Arkansas&amp;nbsp;to visit family.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Our thoughts are with the Morse family. We will try and contact family members and update the story as we learn more. </content>

		<content type="html">&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=5&gt;UPDATED 2/5/2010: Portland Police Chief Dan Saltzman Allegedly Wants To Make Grand Jury Probe Public&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;I'll believe it when I see it (though &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/01/21/bella-vista-ar-police-thugs-murder-james-patrick-ahern-trying-to-cover-it-up.aspx" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Chief Ken Farmer of the Bella Vista, AR Police Dept.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt; should at least pay attention to this). Grand jury proceedings have always been closed to the public and the transcripts subsequently "confidential," which is why its hard for rational Americans to trust such proceedings. However, Saltzman said, in a letter to the D.A. that this was his wish. Read the letter in PDF format &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/files/111943-104535/saltzmanletter.pdf"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I also have a hard time believing Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk has had some sort of epiphany over the past week. He has never commenced an action like this in any of the other murders at the hands of Portland thug cops, and rumor has it he specifically let killer cop Scott McCollister off, after murdering Ms. Kendra James back in May of 2003, because McCollister's father worked for Schrunk's office for a period of time. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;And let's face it...if Schrunk really wanted this proceeding against current killer cop&amp;nbsp;Ronald Frashour to be public, he could simply hold a pre-trial hearing to determine if enough evidence exists for murder or manslaughter charges (which there obviously is, but the word "cop" means "constitutionally protected"). &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We'll continue to follow this story, but expect the same&amp;nbsp;thug cop justice in the end, and another American family grieving the loss of brother and son; and another brother and son who passed away earlier in the same day.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;by Brian A. Wilkins &lt;BR&gt;2/4/2010&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/AaronCampbellandTimothyDouglass.jpg?a=96"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Aaron M. Campbell stands by the hospital bed of his brother, Mr. Timohty Douglass.&lt;BR&gt;Family photo originally posted at KATU.com.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Scott Westerman, the head of the Portland Police Union, summed this case up best, saying, "basically, we shot an unarmed black guy running away from us." &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Portland thug cop Ronald Frashour has now joined his killer Portland cop brothers - &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/12/18/multnomah-county-or-da-michael-schrunk-threatened-prosecution-if-woman-sued-police.aspx" target=_blank&gt;Jason Sery, Stephen Mosier, Christopher Gilbert, and Scott McCollister&lt;/A&gt; - by murdering yet another unarmed "black" American, this time Mr. Aaron Campbell,&amp;nbsp;in cold-blood last Friday, January 29.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The tale Portland Police are using is the proverbial "suicide by cop" excuse, which is becoming much more common to justify thug cop savagery. A friend of Mr. Campbell called police because Mr. Campbell was despondent after learning his&amp;nbsp;brother, Mr. Timothy Douglass,&amp;nbsp;had died earlier in the day at a Portland hospital, of unspecified health problems. Mr. Campbell was inside an apartment with three children and a woman, and&amp;nbsp;possessed a gun, like many other Americans do. Mr. Campbell&amp;nbsp;did not&amp;nbsp;threatened anyone with his firearm.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The woman&amp;nbsp;was outside of the apartment when police arrived and the children came out about an hour later, completely unharmed as expected. Mr. Campbell then came out of the apartment with his hands behind his head. Police say he "refused to follow orders" by not putting his hands in the air, which prompted police thug Ryan Lewton to fire several bean-bag shots at Mr. Campbell. Obviously hurt by the shots, Mr. Campbell instinctively&amp;nbsp;moved his hands to where he was shot, which was enough to prompt thug Frashour to fire one shot from an assault rifle into Mr. Campbell's back, killing him instantly. His gun was later found in a closet.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Frashour said he "felt threatened" by Mr. Campbell tending to the bean-bag shots.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Several witnesses have said Mr. Campbell cooperated with every order, but was murdered anyway. The killer cop and his accomplice were both rewarded with paid vacations. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Watch&amp;nbsp;a report from KATU Channel 2 in Portland.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EMBED height=340 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=560 src=http://www.youtube.com/v/EgO_FSM3zFk&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0 allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;And watch video from KPTV Fox 12 in Oregon with family reaction.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/Aaron Campbell.flv?ref=rss"&gt;http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/02/04/portland-or-police-thug-murders-unarmed-aaron-campbell.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We have previously written about Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Shrunk; you know, the guy who threatened to prosecute a Portland woman on frivolous charges if she pursued a federal lawsuit against Portland Police thugs who assaulted her. He never has and never will charge a murdering cop with any crimes, and the same should be expected here. Maybe this guy is Maricopa County (AZ) lead prosecutor, Andrew Thomas', long-lost dad.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;And keep in mind, this same thug Frashour who murdered Mr. Campbell was named in a &lt;A href="http://www.streetnewsservice.org/index.php?page=archive_detail&amp;amp;articleID=1860" target=_blank&gt;2007 federal lawsuit for using a Taser on journalist Frank Waterhouse&lt;/A&gt;,&amp;nbsp;who was filming&amp;nbsp;Portland police as they searched a friend's yard.&amp;nbsp;Frashour claimed in his police report that Mr. Waterhouse's camera could be used as "a weapon." As one independent police videographer put it, "the camera IS a weapon; a weapon against tyanny, oppression, and lies."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It should be disturbing to all Americans that not only are police thugs in Portland given the green light to murder American citizens and not be punished, but they specifically target "black" Americans who are unarmed. However, cop-suckers in Portland, similar to those in neighboring Washington State, continue to praise the killers and criminalize the victims.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Our thoughts are with the Campbell family, who lost two young men in one day. One unnecessarily, as a result of yet another U.S. government-sanctioned murder.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;RELATED ARTICLE:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/12/18/multnomah-county-or-da-michael-schrunk-threatened-prosecution-if-woman-sued-police.aspx" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Multnomah County (OR) D.A.

It should also be noted that Harris said department executives and middle management have all agreed to take 7 percent paycuts to try and save some jobs, but he fails to disclose anything about himself taking a paycut...which would be the most obvious move&amp;nbsp;that should be made.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;First, watch how Harris tries to worm his way around direct questions about his double salary for doing one CIVILIAN job. From KPHO CBS 5 in Phoenix.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/jackass harris KPHO.flv?ref=rss"&gt;http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/01/30/phoenix-police-could-easily-save-75100-jobs.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This clip is referring to Harris &lt;A href="http://www.azplea.com/docs/recap/Chief%20or%20PSM.pdf" target=_blank&gt;retiring as Phoenix Police "Chief" back on January 17, 2007&lt;/A&gt;, taking a one month vacation, then returning to the Phoenix Police Department on February 17, 2007 doing the exact same job, but now with&amp;nbsp;a different title ("Public Safety Manager"). The Phoenix City Council created this new position for Harris two months before he retired, so that he could collect two salaries for one job. Harris currently &lt;A href="http://www.azdatapages.com/datacenter/salaries/salaries-phoenix-details.html?fmyid=3_86869" target=_blank&gt;earns $193,000 per year as "safety manager"&lt;/A&gt; and gets another $90,000 per year from a retirement pension (don't you have to be "retired" to get a pension?).&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This "double dipping" is the subject of &lt;A href="http://www.abc15.com/content/news/phoenixmetro/central/story/Group-sues-Phoenix-police-chief-for-double-dipping/BQZTwFmm2kmw96Z1xxmrXA.cspx" target=_blank&gt;a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch&lt;/A&gt;, a Washington D.C.-based watchdog group,&amp;nbsp;on behalf of five taxpayers (some of whom are police officers), in the Maricopa County Superior Court back in October. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EMBED height=344 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=425 src=http://www.youtube.com/v/7nzJhW9aSf0&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0 allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The case is currently pending, with Harris and&amp;nbsp;the Phoenix Pension Board&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CivilCourtCases/caseInfo.asp?caseNumber=CV2009-034276" target=_blank&gt;filing answers to the complaint on January 6&lt;/A&gt;. Whether this "pension" money has already been allocated or not, the fact Harris is, with a straight face,&amp;nbsp;collecting two paychecks at a time when massive&amp;nbsp;job cuts are being bandied by city council, tells you all you need to know about this guy.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It was also recently reported that at least &lt;A href="http://www.azcentral.com/business/articles/2010/01/14/20100114-phoenix-police-salaries.html" target=_blank&gt;87 Phoenix Police "sergeants" earn more than $100,000 per year&lt;/A&gt;; to which Harris replied, "the community should be proud (city leaders) are compensating their leadership fairly and getting that bang for their buck."&amp;nbsp;But based on community reaction, I think they would rather have a few more cops on the street than a bunch of high-paid corrupt officials sitting behind desks.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Police and their apologists can save us all the "our job is dangerous...we&amp;nbsp;deserve high pay" mumbo-jumbo.&amp;nbsp;Police work&amp;nbsp;is not even&amp;nbsp;in the &lt;A href="http://www.nowpublic.com/tech-biz/americas-deadliest-jobs-2009-top-10-list" target=_blank&gt;top 10 of the most dangerous jobs in America&lt;/A&gt;, according to Forbes magazine; in a list that includes cab drivers, roofers, loggers, and fishermen. In other words, $100,000 is way too much for some pencil-pushing cop who probably has never even executing a felony arrest (similar to how our "county attorney" &lt;A href="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2008-02-28/news/andrew-thomas-maricopa-county-s-top-prosecutor-burnishes-his-wikipedia-page/" target=_blank&gt;Andrew Thomas has never tried a felony case in his life&lt;/A&gt;...'tis Arizona for you).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;For the sake of sheer integrity and the Phoenix Police's alleged commitment to public safety, each of these sergeants needs to take a $20,000 paycut; and Harris needs to forfeit 40 percent of his total salary (about $113,000). This would&amp;nbsp;create a pool of $1.85 million, which would be enough to keep 40 or so cops on the street at a yearly salary of $45,000;&amp;nbsp;a paycheck&amp;nbsp;many would gladly accept.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;The city has&amp;nbsp;named several special units which will be eliminated, but failed to mention the TASK Unit, which is something only "black" Phoenix citizens are aware of. Every Tuesday and Thursday night, Phoenix Police act as the Joe Arpaio/Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, doing "sweeps" through predominately "black" neighborhoods (south and west Phoenix), arresting, harrassing, questioning, and taking photos of as many "black" motorists as possible. Even if the motorists are not arrested, Phoenix Police take the victim's pictures and store them in a database. In other words, Arpaio is to "Mexicans," as Phoenix Police is to "blacks." "Black" residents of Phoenix refer to these Tuesdays and Thursdays as "task night." &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Eliminating (and asking the Department of Justice to investigate) this obviously illegal and obviously inbred unit, and firing all the cops who were involved in it would easily save the city another $1.85 million and, again, be enough to fund at least 40 more cops for street duty. Phoenix Police, of course, will deny there is a such thing as "task night."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Instead, Harris will continue wasting tax dollars not only on his own salary, but those of high-paid pencil pushers. Harris has &lt;A href="http://www.azcentral.com/community/phoenix/articles/2010/01/14/20100114blogger-phoenix-officer-indicted.html" target=_blank&gt;also wasted tens of thousands trying to persecute&lt;/A&gt; the author of badphoenixcops.com, Jeff Pataky, because Mr. Pataky has revealed so much malfeasance by Harris and his cohorts. The indictment, however, has nothing to do with Mr. Pataky's blog (or the obviously&amp;nbsp;illegal search warrant Phoenix Police executed on Mr. Pataky which was signed by thug Maricopa County judge Gary Donahoe...Phoenix Police took all of Mr. Pataky's laptops, hard drive, printers, etc.). Phoenix Police are trying to get him on &lt;A href="http://badphoenixcops.blogspot.com/2010/01/q-how-many-bad-phoenix-cops-does-it.html" target=_blank&gt;"false swearing" charges in connection with his divorce from his ex-wife&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Harris and the man who allows him to collect two paychecks, Mayor Phil Gordon, should both step down, as they are the two constants which have led to this fiscal crisis. Corrupt sheriffs, judges, cops, mayors...this is our life as Arizona citizens.</content>

At about 11pm on that aforementioned Tueday night, Mr. Miles became "a black" in the United States.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Miles exited his mother's home and began walking to his grandmother's place, where he had planned to spend the night. A few minutes into the walk, three men (none of whom had police uniforms on) jumped out of a car which was parked on the street. The three thugs - who were all "white" - began demanding "money," "drugs," and&amp;nbsp;"guns" from&amp;nbsp;the teenager. Mr. Miles, believing he was being attacked by thug racist white boys, tried to run, but slipped on the icy sidewalk.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;What happened thereafter is&amp;nbsp;nothing short of aggravated assault and attempted murder. The three thugs began beating and kicking Mr. Miles, culminating with the animal cops ripping a patch of Mr. Miles hair out of his scalp (see the photo above). But because this is the United States, Mr. Miles was charged with "aggravated assault on a police officer" and "resisting arrest," while the police thugs were simply "reassigned."&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;And to add insult to&amp;nbsp;serious injury,&amp;nbsp;Mr. Miles&amp;nbsp;was in court last&amp;nbsp;Thursday to answer the criminal complaint, &lt;A href="http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/22301914/detail.html" target=_blank&gt;which lists the three police thugs as "victims."&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Watch a report from WTAE Channel 4 Action News In Pittsburgh:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/Jordan Miles.flv?ref=rss"&gt;http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/01/26/nypd-pittsburgh-pa-thug-cops-brutally-assault-unarmed-handcuffed-men.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Miles' mother says they will file a federal lawsuit, and the mayor of Pittsburgh says that if an "investigation" reveals excessive force, the police thugs will be "dealt with accordingly." In U.S. jurisprudence, "investigations" mean the thug cops&amp;nbsp;will not face any criminal charges, MIGHT get fired, and WILL find another job on some other police force.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We now turn our attention to another brutal attack by police thugs on an American citizen: this time in terrorist cop central: New York City. It was Monday, January 5 when NYPD thug cops John Cicero and William Green chimped out on tape, kicking and punching Mr. Jonathan Baez while he was handcuffed on the ground. The raw video speaks for itself.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;object vlogId="16439" width="480" height="360" align="middle"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent" /&gt;&lt;param FLASHVARS="vidpath=http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/NYPD beating.flv&amp;the_image="/&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="/vlog/player/flvplayer.swf" /&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="high" /&gt;&lt;embed src="/vlog/player/flvplayer.swf" flashvars="vidpath=http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/NYPD beating.flv&amp;the_image=" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="480" height="360" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Baez was charged with drug crimes, but the charges were dismissed at his initial court appearance. Mr. Baez lawyer, says all the cops who were present should be punished, since they all stood around like a normal activity was going on (NYPD thug cops&amp;nbsp;assaulting, raping, and murdering&amp;nbsp;American citizens, I guess, IS business as usual). Instead, &lt;A href="http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local&amp;amp;id=7231763" target=_blank&gt;Cicero and Green were suspended&lt;/A&gt;, but not charged with any crimes; while two sergeants were moved to "desk duty."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This whole idea of "investigations" for these brutal attack&amp;nbsp;is likely as insulting to me and American citizens as someone telling Israel that there should be "investigations" before&amp;nbsp;determining if any Jews were killed in Germany.&amp;nbsp;The bottom line is that none of the involved thug cops will be charged with any crimes, and all of them will either keep the job they have now, or get another cop job somewhere else.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was enacted because, back in the late 1700, American&amp;nbsp;citizens armed themselves against foreign&amp;nbsp;British police forces who were only there to harrass, assault, murder, and rape the people. The British tyrants wore red; these people nowadays wear blue. This "justice system" gives certain people CONSTITUTIONAL permission to murder, rape, and assault American citizens (see the Eleventh Amendment), and those of us who stand up to it are deemed&amp;nbsp;"unpatriotic," "terrorist," or simply "crazy."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;They are protected by the Eleventh Amendment, and we must protect ourselves&amp;nbsp;with the 2nd Amendment. If the system will not punish murderers and thugs with badges, we must do it ourselves. And the fact none of these police thugs will be held accountable for their actions (none ever are), what other choice do we have. Arm yourselves now.</content>

		<content type="html">&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;FONT size=6&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 2/15/2010: Brackney's Wife Leaves The Killer&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;One things is certain about thug killer Brackney...he married a classy, righteous woman. I've never met her, but if rumors are true that she left the killer cop after the murder of Mr. Ahern, that is all the information&amp;nbsp;I need. Who knows if it was all the media and internet attention the story is getting, or just&amp;nbsp;an ethical move. Since she left him, a Bella Vista resident told us that Brackney is enjoying his paid vacation, drinking in several bars across the border in nearby Missouri. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Got to give yet another &lt;EM&gt;Op-Nat &lt;/EM&gt;reader props for digging up more about the Bella Vista Police. "Gulf War Vet" brought to our attention the story of Mr. Joseph Erin Hamley, &lt;A href="http://www.mncdd.org/news/inclusion-daily/2006/04/041706arkhamleyabuse.htm" target=_blank&gt;the young man who as murdered in cold-blood by Arkansas State Police thug Larry Norman on March 7, 2006&lt;/A&gt;. Mr. Hamley, who was unarmed and had cerebral palsy, was murdered by thug Norman less than one minute after Norman arrived on the scene, which was already well in control by several other cops. Thug Norman was ultimately indicted, but here's the catch: &lt;A href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,287197,00.html" target=_blank&gt;he was convicted of "negligent homicide," a MISDEMEANOR&lt;/A&gt;. He was ultimately sentenced to a mere 90 days in jail. And to add more insult to Mr. Hamley's death is that Norman got a 10-day sabbatical from jail during his sentence to "get his affairs together." &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So if - and that's a HUGE "IF" - Brackney is even charged, it will be for a misdemeanor, based on Arkansas precedent. Only in America...and Russia, China, and North Korea.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 2/10/2010: Ahern Shot In The Back?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As more information pours into us about this murder, the more &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;disgusting it gets.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Two sources have told us that the ambulance report from when Mr. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Ahern's body was removed from his car indicated he was shot in the &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;back. It appears Mr. Ahern was trying to get out of his car via the &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;passenger-side door, maybe to get away from a killer cop (Brackney) &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;with an itchy trigger finger. This is also the reason no coroner &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;report or dash-cam video has been released. Not sure how the "car as &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;a deadly weapon" excuse will fly if this turns out to be the case.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Another emailer pointed out to us that &lt;A href="http://www.kfsm.com/kfsm-news-deadly-house-fire-bella-vista,0,7862369.story" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;after a housefire in Bella &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Vista killed five people last week&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;, the fire department released &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;information regarding the investigation almost immediately. The &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;difference is that when you do not have to coordinate lies government &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;bodies can immediately release information.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;The longer Chief Farmer draws this thing out, the more people will &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;have to rely on speculation. Own up to your responsibilities, Chief. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;We realize you are new to the position, but that is no excuse. But &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;you are a COP (Constitutionally-protected), so your behavior thus far &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;FONT size=6&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;is expected.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 2/9/2010: Ahern Murder Brings Up &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=6&gt;Memories Of Kevin Ives and Don Henry&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;Anybody who believes the State of Arkansas is not corrupt and will not go as far as killing American citizens to cover up something they shouldn't be doing only need to &lt;A href="http://www.idfiles.com/ojvid.htm" target=_blank&gt;recall the murders of two Bryant, AR teenagers, Mr. Kevin Ives and Mr. Don Henry, back on August 23, 1987&lt;/A&gt;. The two young men were murdered after they witnessed drugs being dropped from an airplane in nearby Alexander, AR. The drugs were&amp;nbsp;en route&amp;nbsp;to Mena, Arkansas, about 170 miles south of Bella Vista. Three U.S. presidents, including former Democratic Arkansas governor Bill Clinton, have been indicated as major players in the smuggling operation headquartered at the Mena airport, which is reportedly still a hotbed for cocaine and heroin&amp;nbsp;smuggling (we all know how Bill Clinton liked to party). &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;But &lt;A href="http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/clintonbodycountupdate.htm"&gt;Mr. Henry and Mr. Ives are only two...of at least 30 (and probably more) people who were murdered by Arkansas government officials&lt;/A&gt; in the subsequent 12 years, because they had information which could unravel the entire operation. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;The Mena Connection&lt;/EM&gt; is a 6-part video which tells the entire story. Here is Part 1...and I suggest, especially Arkansas residents, watch the entire series on Youtube.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EMBED height=344 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=425 src=http://www.youtube.com/v/D3Vy3Ov4A9g&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0 allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 2/9/2010: The Scott Vanatta Factor&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;A savvy&amp;nbsp;commenter&amp;nbsp;to this story named "Mike" brought to light the fact the Bella Vista Police Dept. hired a lying, cheating cadet named Scott Vanatta in 2008. Vanatta was caught cheating on a police academy exam, and was initially punished with a two year suspension before he could re-apply to the academy. But former Bella Vista Police Chief, Jim Wozniak, went in front of the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Training on July 10, 2008, and successfully begged the Commission to reverse the two-year penalty and allow him to hire Vanatta. Read the 13-pages of back-and-forth arguments &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/files/111943-104535/Vanatta_Minutes.pdf"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Among some of the most notable quotes from Wozniak, in support of Vanatta include: "Black balling Scott Vanatta for two years is like giving him the &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;FONT size=6&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;death penalty" (I bet Mr. Ahern would have gladly accepted a two-year probation sentence as opposed to the&amp;nbsp;REAL death penalty he was given).&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Wozniak&amp;nbsp;continued, "The fact that he was dismissed and the fact that he &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;FONT size=6&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;will have to start over is enough. He has to live with that every &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;FONT size=6&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;day" (Mr. Ahern cannot LIVE with anything anymore).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The lying, cheating Vanatta&amp;nbsp;has now been on the force since 2008. Wozniak retired from the Bella Vista PD in September 2009, and Ken Farmer took over shortly thereafter. Here is what congressman John Boozman, R-Arkansas, had to say about Wozniak right before he retired.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EMBED height=344 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=425 src=http://www.youtube.com/v/iYLNmSKcocw&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0 allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Brackney, Vannatta, and Republican Boozman are all you must know about the integrity (or more fittingly LACK THEREOF) of the Bella Vista PD and the state police "investigations" which are supposedly taking place now. We predicted it would be 10-16 weeks before "investigators" reveal any information about the murder of Mr. Ahern. It has been three weeks as of today. In other words, do not expect the final draft of their lies to be revealed until late March at the earliest.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 2/3/2010: Vigil For James Patrick Ahern&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Friends and family of the man murdered by a&amp;nbsp;Bella Vista cop two weeks ago&amp;nbsp;will gather at St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Bella Vista on Friday, February 12.

For more information (the time), the phone number for the church is 479-855-9069. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As of today, Bella Vista Police have still released no details about the murder, nor pressed any charges against the killer.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 1/28/2010: Friends of Mr. Ahern Being Targeted By Bella Vista Police?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Several individuals have informed us that they are now being targeted by local police because they have spoken out about the murder of their friend and brother. This is standard protocol for police departments all across the country, when they are conjuring a story to cover murders under color of law. One resident said Bella Vista Police have been circling their home at night, and they may have to move for the sake of their children. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The police chief still insists the investigation is "ongoing" and has nothing new to report.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 1/25/2010: Bella Vista Police Confirm Killer Cop's Name&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/Brackney.jpg?a=20"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;Killer Cop Coleman Brackney&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As first reported&amp;nbsp;by the &lt;EM&gt;OP-NAT EYE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;on Saturday, Bella Vista Police Chief Ken Farmer has now confirmed to a few OTHER Arkansas news sources today that the killer cop's name is in fact Brackney. They are referring to him as, "Cpl. Coleman Brackney." Seems he had no choice but to disclose this information after we already did.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Now if&amp;nbsp;Farmer will only confirm the excuse for the murder which is currently being concocted by his department (see below).&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 1/25/2010: &lt;BR&gt;Bella Vista Police Will Use The Proverbial&amp;nbsp;"Car As A Deadly Weapon" Excuse&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Though Bella Vista Police claim to be new to these sorts of investigations and not accustomed to them [thus the protracted&amp;nbsp;time-frame], they sure know how to use one of the most common excuses police departments across the country use to justify murder of American citizens&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sources have told us that Bella Vista Police will say Mr. Ahern "used his car as a deadly weapon," so was thus "armed," thus&amp;nbsp;police thug Brackney "feared for his life."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The police have yet to publicly&amp;nbsp;confirm (or deny) that Brackney is the officer involved.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 1/23/2010: Killer Cop's Name is "Officer Brackney"&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;This, according to a source close to Mr. Ahern &lt;EM&gt;[name redacted].&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;This information&amp;nbsp;was&amp;nbsp;obtained from another witness who was&amp;nbsp;at the scene, but ordered to leave the scene by police before recognizing the killer cop. We've also&amp;nbsp;now confirmed there is in fact an officer named "Brackney" who works for the Bella Vista Police.&amp;nbsp;[&lt;EM&gt;Carol, after seeing a photo of the killer cop, does not believe Brackney is the same cop who once insulted her fiancee....UPDATED 1/25/2010].&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;We will continue to update the story as more information comes in.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;UPDATED 1/23/2010: James Ahern's Fiancee Calls Out The Killer Bella Vista Police&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Again, this cold-blooded, pre-meditated murder has been obvious since news first broke of it happening. But now Mr. Ahern's fiancee, who wants her identity protected (don't blame her, considering the blatant thuggery of that "police" department down there), said her fiancee was arrested for DUI earlier in the week, and likely fled police to avoid being arrested again. Last time I check though, a DUI is not an offense punishable by death. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Watch a report from KFSM TV-5 News in Fort Smith, AR&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/4029 report.flv?ref=rss"&gt;http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/01/21/bella-vista-ar-police-thugs-murder-james-patrick-ahern-trying-to-cover-it-up.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;UPDATED 1/22/2010: Mr. Ahern Was Dealing With The Death Of Both His Parents&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;We have learned that Mr. Ahern's mother and father both passed away within a six month period this past year. We do not know how or any of the circumstances surrounding his parents' deaths. However, it is safe to say Mr. Ahern was likely very distraught, as losing&amp;nbsp;ONE parent&amp;nbsp;is difficult. Of course, the police thugs who murdered him aren't even human, and would have likely laughed before shooting and killing Mr. Ahern if they were aware of the situation he was in. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As of today, Bella Vista Police are still trying to get their lies straight.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;by Brian A.

He was also a soccer player (photo on right added on Jan. 25).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;All you need to know is this: dash-cam video caught the entire incident on tape, yet Bella Vista Police refused to release&amp;nbsp;it&amp;nbsp;to the public. And as you know, when dash-cam video is favorable to police thugs, they release it immediately so cop-suckers can stroke them as heroes.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Instead, Bella Vista Police chief Ken Farmer says that what happened was, "&lt;A href="http://www.4029tv.com/news/22299913/detail.html" target=_blank&gt;an officer -involved shooting...that resulted in the death of an individual&lt;/A&gt;"&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;continued, "we're not going to sacrifice quality [in the investigation] for speed." &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In other words, they need more time to get their lies straight.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The murder happened Wednesday in Bella Vista - a small town of about 17,000 in northwest Arkansas - when 41-year-old&amp;nbsp;Mr. James Patrick Ahern apparently crashed his car into a ditch, following an alleged "police chase." Moments later, a Bella Vista police thug, whose name is being protected by the city, jumped out of his car, started yelling at Mr. Ahern for a few seconds and kicking his car windows, before opening fire through Mr. Ahern's windows; killing him instantly. The police thug was rewarded with a paid vacation (aka "paid administrative leave").&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Watch a report from&amp;nbsp;40/29 News in Fort Smith/Rogers AR:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;object vlogId="16388" width="480" height="360" align="middle"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent" /&gt;&lt;param FLASHVARS="vidpath=http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/real 4029 report.flv&amp;the_image="/&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="/vlog/player/flvplayer.swf" /&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="high" /&gt;&lt;embed src="/vlog/player/flvplayer.swf" flashvars="vidpath=http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/real 4029 report.flv&amp;the_image=" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="480" height="360" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The witness in the video, Mr. David Whitney, went even further, telling another news source that the cop, "may have overrreacted," and that, "&lt;A href="http://nwahomepage.com/content/fulltext/?cid=146432" target=_blank&gt;I would like to know what [the victim] did wrong to be shot and killed."&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;Another witness, Donna Martinez, said she all of a sudden just heard a bunch of gunshots, and said &lt;A href="http://www.kfsm.com/kfsm-news-nwa-bella-vista-shooting,0,6542345.story" target=_blank&gt;she thought she lived in an area which this kind of stuff does not happen&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;There are apparently kangaroo investigations being conducted by the Arkansas State Police and the Bella Vista Police. However, we all know these investigations will last 10-16 weeks, with a conclusion that the police thug was "justified in his actions."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Ahern had no family in Arkansas, but its being reported that family members in Omaha, NE have been contacted. It is pretty obvious Mr. Ahern was unarmed, as the police would have made this public in the very minutes after the murder to "justify" the killing.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We will keep updating this story as we learn more and/or if we can contact any family of Mr. Ahern. Our thoughts are with the Ahern family.&lt;/P&gt;</content>

And according to several sources,&amp;nbsp;Mr. Smith&amp;nbsp;is frequently harrassed by a Maricopa County "pre-trial officer" named James Morones, who shows up at the residence Mr. Smith stays at almost weekly to boost his own ego.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;According to court records, Mr. Smith was supposed to attend a settlement conference&amp;nbsp;last Friday,&amp;nbsp;January 15. But in the spirit of the Maricopa County court's clown persona, the judge who was to conduct the&amp;nbsp;hearing said there were "&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/files/111943-104535/McMurdie_Vacating_Rodneys_Set_Conf.pdf"&gt;scheduling conflicts&lt;/A&gt;," and vacated the settlement conference without re-scheduling another one. Plus, the prosecutor in the case, &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/01/26/maricopa-county-attorney-is-violating-conflict-of-interest-statutes.aspx" target=_blank&gt;Heather Wicht&lt;/A&gt;, never returned for the conference anyway&amp;nbsp;after the judge took a recess.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Maricopa County judge, Paul J. McMurdie, is the same judge named&amp;nbsp;in a recently filed federal lawsuit, which among&amp;nbsp;other things, accuses McMurdie of strickening an Amicus Curiae brief filed by a Maricopa County public defender in a criminal case, which lays out concrete evidence of prosecutors and judges in this county working together to convict defendants, regardless of evidence proving innocence. Though the case will likely be dismissed by U.S. District Judge Roslyn Silver (for various reasons), the complaint is a fascinating read (&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/files/111943-104535/McMurdie_Complaint.pdf"&gt;see the entire complaint in PDF format here)&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;with exhibits proving the accusations.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;McMurdie, who continues to call himself "honorable," was also the same judge &lt;A href="http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2009/07/judge_refuses_to_dismiss_case.php" target=_blank&gt;who denied a defendant's motion to dismiss a criminal case&lt;/A&gt; brought by Andrew Thomas and his goons, but granted &lt;A href="http://www.courtminutes.maricopa.gov/docs/Criminal/012010/m4034771.pdf" target=_blank&gt;Maricopa County's same motion to dismiss the&amp;nbsp;case&amp;nbsp;five months later&lt;/A&gt;, once the already obvious evidence was presented at a hearing.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It's difficult to believe that Mr. Smith will get a constitutional trial in this case, as the aforementioned prosecutor, Wicht, continues violating conflict of interest statutes by prosecuting the case, and &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/06/09/charges-dropped-against-rodney-smith-sr.aspx" target=_blank&gt;has already lost criminal cases against Mr. Smith's mother and father&lt;/A&gt;. The only way Wicht can salvage her wanton&amp;nbsp;persecution of the Smith family is somehow sending Mr. Smith to prison for years. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Maricopa County has also continued its lenience towards Isaac Smith, the man Mr. Rodney&amp;nbsp;Smith was forced to protect himself against at South Mountain Community College that day. Isaac Smith violated his probation terms back in November, but Wicht, who again was the prosecutor for Isaac Smith when he and two other men jumped Rodney Smith back in December of 2007, let Isaac Smith off again by &lt;A href="http://www.courtminutes.maricopa.gov/docs/Criminal/112009/m3968176.pdf" target=_blank&gt;re-instating his probation&lt;/A&gt;, despite his violent history.&amp;nbsp;Wicht did this, obviously, because if the attacker Mr. Smith was protecting himself against is sitting in prison when Rodney Smith's trial takes place in late March, it will further make her case look as frivolous as her cases against Rodney's mother and father.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This article is not meant to criminalize Isaac Smith either. In fact, he is being played as a pawn almost as much as Rodney Smith, by these Maricopa County people.&amp;nbsp;Because let's face it: if Rodney Smith was a "white" college student who Isaac Smith jumped back in December 2007, Isaac Smith would have been sentenced to prison for well over five years.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;By law, in Arizona, Rodney Smith's trial was supposed to happen no later than May 10, 2009 because it is deemed a "complex case." Yet, Mr. Smith is still confined to his place of residence, waiting for this Maricopa County system to simply follow the law.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We will follow the trial day-by-day when (if) it commences on March 30.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.operation-nation.com/Justice_For_Rodney_Smith.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;CLICK HERE FOR FULL COVERAGE OF THE RODNEY SMITH CASE&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/FONT&gt;</content>

		<content type="html">&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;UPDATED 1/22/2010: &lt;A href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2010863972_webschene22m.html" target=_blank&gt;MISTRIAL DECLARED IN SCHENE TRIAL&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Is anyone surprised? Prosecutors say they will retry the police thug, but expect much of the same in any subsequent trial.&amp;nbsp;Not that it matters anyway. Schene was only facing a misdemeanor anyway, and would not have been sentenced to any jail time.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;by Brian A. Wilkins&lt;BR&gt;1/21/2010&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I'm sure you've all seen the video by now. But in case its not fresh in your mind, here, again, is monkey-thug King County cop Paul Schene brutally assaulting a then 15-year-old girl because she called him "fat."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EMBED height=344 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=425 src=http://www.youtube.com/v/Cfk3syhbiWc&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0 allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This happened back in late 2008. The video did not surface until February 2009. And now finally, the monkey-thug cop&amp;nbsp;will learn his fate in the next few days at trial: whether he will get a slap on the wrist for this brutal attack on a child or be &lt;A href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/theblotter/2010768493_--_from_times_staff_reporter_5.html" target=_blank&gt;completely acquitted of "fourth degree assault," &lt;/A&gt;which is a misdemeanor. Schene &lt;A href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2009961190_deputyfired29m.html" target=_blank&gt;was ultimately fired from his cop job&lt;/A&gt;, but only because of the publicity this&amp;nbsp;incident garnered. Either way, this case, and the overall historical patterns of Washington State justice, is the reason &lt;A href="http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/northwest/story/1015137.html" target=_blank&gt;eight Seattle-area cops&lt;/A&gt; were&amp;nbsp;shot (&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/11/29/lakewood-wa-police-ambush-four-more-dead-cops-in-seattle-area.aspx" target=_blank&gt;six of them killed&lt;/A&gt;)&amp;nbsp;in a six-week period late last year.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Seattle-area "authorities" will not even&amp;nbsp;dignify this fact, even though Mr. Christopher John Monfort - the &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/11/07/christopher-john-monfort-if-he-killed-timothy-brenton.aspx" target=_blank&gt;man who was forced to kill one of the Seattle cops&lt;/A&gt; after realizing this&amp;nbsp;"justice&amp;nbsp;system" is a farce that protects child molesters and murderers with badges - said this much in fliers he left at the scene.&amp;nbsp;Watch how thug Schene tries to justify abusing this young girl at his "trial" last week. From KIRO-TV in Seattle.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/Schene Trial.flv?ref=rss"&gt;http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/01/21/paul-schene-is-the-reason-seattlearea-cops-are-being-killed.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It's difficult for me to even listen to this animal speak, let alone look at the animal, but there is no doubt in my mind, based on patterns in Seattle and all across the country, the jury will be instructed in a way which acquits the police thug of the MISDEMEANOR. When cops start talking about their "procedures" and "training," the blind patriots&amp;nbsp;on juries which tyranny depends upon&amp;nbsp;(who are never a "jury of peers" to defendants...except for cop defendants) will eat it up. One of the "procedures" thug Schene refers to is a "hair hold" which he says was the necessary way to handle a suspect. Ok, so what if a "suspect" is bald or has very short hair?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The fact the&amp;nbsp;jury foreperson in Schene trial today&amp;nbsp;has asked the judge to dismiss&amp;nbsp;one of the fellow&amp;nbsp;jurors a few hours after deliberations began&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://www.king5.com/news/local/Foreperson-asks-for-juror-to-be-dismissed-in-deputy-assualt-trial-82274242.html" target=_blank&gt;because said juror "has a 15-year-old daughter"&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;further illustrates a system which protects thug cops.&amp;nbsp;In other words,&amp;nbsp;this foreperson does not want any human beings on this jury...only cop-sucking blind patriots.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Christopher John Monfort, Maurice Clemmons, and David Crable - the men who were forced to kill Seattle-area cops - are considered folk-heroes to many, in the same way 19-year-old&amp;nbsp;Mr. Zhang Xuping is viewed in Xiashuixi, China. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/ZhangXuping.jpg?a=86"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;Mr. Zhang Xuping&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Zhang was &lt;A href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/20/AR2010012002773.html" target=_blank&gt;sentenced to death last Friday for killing a local Communist Party leader&lt;/A&gt; who had terrorized his fellow villagers for years. 20,000 people from the village petitioned the court for a lenient sentence (to no avail), while most people in the village cheered the action of Mr. Zhang because he rid them of the continued terror at the hands of the now-dead local leader.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;King County prosecutors and police will always go full-throttle in protecting their own, while leaving regular American&amp;nbsp;citizens to simply "pray" for justice, kind of like the Chinese have to do. It took Seattle-area cops less than 48 hours to track down and either arrest or kill Mr. Monfort and Mr. Clemmons, respectively...because the aforementioned hurt one of their own. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It took King County authorities almost 20 years to find, arrest, and convict the "Green River Killer," Gary Ridgway, after the serial killer &lt;A href="http://www.seattlepi.com/local/149997_greenriver26.html" target=_blank&gt;murdered at least 40 and as many as 90 women and girls in the King County area&lt;/A&gt; between 1982-1999. And what's even more telling about King County authorities is the fact Ridgway was given a life-sentence in prison as opposed to the death penalty. In fact, of all the numerous King County area serial killers who were eventually caught (after years of alleged "investigations"), very few of them were executed (see "Jack's" &lt;A href="http://www.theodoresworld.net/archives/2009/05/doctors_in_montana_face_orders.html" target=_blank&gt;comment on this story's link&lt;/A&gt;).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Though King County prosecutor Dan Satterburg&amp;nbsp; says he will decide by June 15 whether or not to seek the death penalty for Mr. Monfort, he can save us all the B.S. rhetoric, and announce the inevitable now. Mr. Clemmons was already summarily executed without a trial&amp;nbsp;by Seattle Police last month.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The United States simply expects anyone who is a victim of the ongoing tyrannical practices in our government to sing "we shall overcome" and hope for some sort of bone to be thrown their way in the form of a "settlement" from a federal lawsuit. Meanwhile, killer cops, rapist cops, rogue judges, and lying prosecutors continue to collect their six-plus figure salaries, while the victims of their crimes are forced to rely on the same system for relief that put them in the situation to begin with.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Paul Schene is a monster; not even a human being, and it's pretty scary this creature has a wife. I predict this thug will be acquitted, but even if he's convicted, he will not be sent to prison for the "misdemeanor." All I know is that if I saw this thug piece of shit on the street, grabbed him by the hair, slinged him to the ground, and punched him while he was down, I would likely be facing atttempted murder charges. But because Schene is a COP (constitutionally-protected) thug, the crime is a misdemeanor.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Schene will ultimately be hired by another thug cop organization (he would fit right in down in Maricopa County), and will eventually kill someone. However, he will say he "felt threatened," which will be enough to escape any potential charges against him. This U.S. "justice system" is here to protect the rich and those who reinforce the system (e.g. cops, prosecutors, and judges). &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If some other King County area&amp;nbsp;freedom fighter steps up and kills this thug, there will definitely be tears shed from this blogger...tears of joy.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;RELATED ARTICLES:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/08/30/ted-bundy-the-seattle-police-advisor-republican-and-serial-killer.aspx" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Ted Bundy: Seattle Police Advisor, Republican, And Serial Killer&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt; (8/30/2009)&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/07/20/paul-schene-and-king-county-cop-thuggery.aspx" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Paul Schene and King County (WA) Cop Thuggery&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt; (7/20/2009)&lt;/FONT&gt;</content>

		<content type="html">&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 1/25/2010: Andy Thomas Issues&amp;nbsp;"Direct Complaints"&amp;nbsp;Against Three of the Five Protestors Arrested&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Indictment...complaint...whatever you want to call it, Sheriff Joe Arpaio's homeboy, county attorney Andrew Thomas, has charged Ms. Sarah Grace Daniels and Mr. Jeremiah Henry with "aggravated assault on a police officer" (a Class 2 felony) and Mr. Issa Emadi with "aggravated assault" (a Class 6 felony) and "attempted aggravated assault" (a misdemeanor).&amp;nbsp; See the press release from the "county attorney's office" in PDF format &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/files/111943-104535/indictment_Phoenix_5.pdf"&gt;HERE&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;We have also learned that Mr.&amp;nbsp;Emadi was already offered some B.S.&amp;nbsp; "plea deal," which&amp;nbsp;he smartly turned down. Subsequently, Andy-boy, in a retaliatory tantrum,&amp;nbsp;issued this "direct complaint" against the young man. Andy thanked the Phoenix Police for, "prevent[ing] the disturbance from escalating."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;This likely means the charges against Mr. Garyn Klasek and Ms. Claire Brock will be dismissed on Friday at a scheduled status conference (of course, not without first being presented "deals" to plead guilty to crimes Maricopa County knows it cannot prove). But with Maricopa County, who knows what may happen. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We'll follow this story until all five individuals are exonerated of this persecution.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;UPDATED 1/24/2010: Maricopa County Justice Begins For The Five Arrested Protestors&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;To Ms. Sarah Grace Daniels, Mr. Jeremiah Henry, Mr. Issa Emadi, Mr. Garyn Klasek, and&amp;nbsp;Ms. Claire Brock: let the games begin. Though today is Sunday, January, 24th, according to Maricopa County court records, Mr. Henry has already attended an "informal conference" on Monday, January 25 and said conference has been docketed on the case record. Here is the screenshot taken today from the Maricopa County court website.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/Picture51.png?a=30" width=722 height=367&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;It appears that this same "already happened informal conference" &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CriminalCourtCases/caseInfo.asp?caseNumber=CR2010-103241" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;is the case for Mr. Emadi as well&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;. Interestingly, there is no record of charges even being filed against Mr. Klasek. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;You all must be aware that this is just the first sign you'll need to know that cases in Maricopa County are pre-determined, no matter the evidence or circumstances.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Here is more video from the scene,&amp;nbsp;showing the sheer brutality of Phoenix Police arresting&amp;nbsp;one of the female protestors.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;EMBED height=344 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=425 src=http://www.youtube.com/v/vsbGWK1kA6E&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0 allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Also, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://arizona.indymedia.org/news/2010/01/76310.php" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;an Arizona Indy Media article&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt; contains photos and hard evidence that undercover Arpaio goons or Phoenix Police goons posed as protestors throughout the day. Phoenix Police have denied this, but you can see plain-clothes individuals&amp;nbsp;from the video above and the pictures from the Indy Media article of the same individuals arresting and assaulting the protestors. More evidence that this entire incident was provoked by so-called "law enforcement."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We will keep you up-to-date on the legal proceedings for all the individuals.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;by Brian A.

I&amp;nbsp;am only assuming this is the name of their group.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As "mainstream" media continue to report only what Phoenix Police say happened -&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://www.azcentral.com/community/phoenix/articles/2010/01/16/20100116protest0117.html" target=_blank&gt;that these young people "assaulted" and threw bottles at cops&lt;/A&gt; - Operation Nation was also on the scene and spoke to several&amp;nbsp;witnesses, some of whom were actually hit with the pepper spray.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;First, here is a report from ABC-15 about the "disturbance."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/ABC15 Pepper Spray.flv?ref=rss"&gt;http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/01/17/phoenix-az-police-pepper-spray-peaceful-protestors.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I understand that "mainstream" media must always take the side of police so they will continue to have all-access to arrest records, mugshots (e.g. the people who were arrested yesterday),&amp;nbsp;and whatever other juice they desire to obtain from them. What is missing from this report and all others in the city is the name of the female, overzealous, robocop that started all the mayhem. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Here is what witnesses said about yesterday's incident.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EMBED height=344 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=425 src=http://www.youtube.com/v/qyFlxteC3YI&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0 allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;UPDATED 1/17/2010: RAW VIDEO OF POLICE THUG PEPPER SPRAYING PROTESTERS&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EMBED height=340 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=560 src=http://www.youtube.com/v/J9ysthwvIyM&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp; allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;&lt;BR&gt;When it was all said and done, Phoenix Police arrested five people: Ms. Sarah Grace Daniels, 23;&amp;nbsp; Mr. Jeremiah M. Henry, 18;&amp;nbsp;Mr. Issa A. Emadi, 26;&amp;nbsp;Mr. Garyn Klasek, 30; and&amp;nbsp;Ms. Claire E. Brock, 23...all on charges ranging from "aggravated assault on a police officer," "disorderly conduct," and "resisting arrest."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Organizers of the rally quickly separated themselves from the group, saying they were there for "their own purposes." &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;These five individuals will now have to sit in a Maricopa County Jail until someone either bails them out and/or they are released on their own recognizance; all because of the ego trip of a female&amp;nbsp;cop who obviously can't handle her job. Their lives will also now be forever altered, if these alleged "felony charges" stick.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Operation Nation will try and follow this story and keep you updated on each individual case.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;UPDATED 1/18/2010: Lost in the Phoenix Police thuggery was the overall festive, spiritual atmosphere from the day's events.

Wilkins&lt;BR&gt;1/14/2010&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 304px" src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/vincesteen.jpg?a=0" width=451 height=310&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;Mr. Vincent Steen was 27-years-old&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Judging from the past three months in Porterville, CA - about 70 miles southeast of Fresno, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains - the policy of "police" there is shoot to kill any citizen who embarrasses them, bruises their egos, or refuses to play along with their harrassment. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The latter is what happened to Mr. Vincent Steen, a burly 6'4 former amateur league football player, who was murdered in cold blood by Porterville police thugs on Sunday, January 10.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This all started when Mr. Steen was seemingly minding his own business, riding his bicycle. According to the police thugs, Mr. Steen committed a "traffic violation" (on his bike no less), so the harrassment ensued.&amp;nbsp;Porterville Police&amp;nbsp;continue, saying "a fight broke out between the officer and bicyclist." Again, according to Porterville cops, they then&amp;nbsp;used their electrocution toys (taser) on&amp;nbsp;Mr. Steen, but he was able to run away, into his mother's home. The police thugs, who have obviously watched far too many cop movies, kicked down the door of the home, located Mr. Steen, and fired several shots, killing him instantly, &lt;A href="http://www.fresnobee.com/local/story/1776971.html" target=_blank&gt;right in front of his mother and 23-year-old brother&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Watch a report from ABC 30 Action News in Fresno.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/Vincent Steen.flv?ref=rss"&gt;http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/01/14/porterville-ca-police-thugs-murder-unarmed-vincent-steen.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Of course the police thugs' names are being protected by the City of Porterville, and both were rewarded with paid vacations for the murder.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The murder of Mr. Steen brings back the recent memory of young Mr. Joe Edwin Bowles, who was &lt;A href="http://www.fresnobee.com/local/story/1701531.html?storylink=mirelated" target=_blank&gt;murdered in cold blood back on October 20 &lt;/A&gt;by Porterville police thug Chris McGuire. Mr. Bowles was simply exiting a Chili's Restaurant or the Evolution's Gym in Tulare, CA. Not only was thug McGuire out of his jurisdiction, but was not even in uniform. There was not even a "physical confrontation" in this case,&amp;nbsp;as police thugs normally will assert to justify murder. The story Porterville Police are sticking to is that Mr. Bowles was tampering with cars.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;And in yet another incident, back on July 24, 2008,&amp;nbsp;Mr. Eusebio Prieto was murdered by Porterville police thugs after &lt;A href="http://www.kmph.com/global/story.asp?s=8736826&amp;amp;ClientType=Printable" target=_blank&gt;allegedly "brandishing" a screw driver&lt;/A&gt;...which was enough for the&amp;nbsp; killer cops to use the "our lives and the public's lives&amp;nbsp;were in danger" speel. The cops who murdered Mr. Bowles and Mr. Prieto were also rewarded with paid vacations.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Though the family of Mr. Steen will file federal civil rights claims against the Porterville Police, this, again, will not bring back their son and brother. And of course, there will be no criminal charges filed against the murderers,&amp;nbsp;however a kangaroo investigation (and the murderers' paid vacations)&amp;nbsp;will likely&amp;nbsp;stretch 8-12 weeks before this inevitable news is reported. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Our thoughts are with the Steen family.</content>

However, police say they eventually surrounded Mr. Mojziszek's car with their cars, thus immobilizing any perceived threat he presented. But of course the police thugs, whose names are so far&amp;nbsp;being protected by the City of Franklin Park, used the proverbial "our lives were in danger" speel to justify opening fire on Mr. Mojziszek, killing him instantly. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;A witness at the scene, Mr. Nicholas Chrysler, saw the murder in a&amp;nbsp;completely different light than this tale these cops conjured up. He said that Mr. Mojziszek did not try and assault any officers, and that the police thugs "&lt;A href="http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=350433" target=_blank&gt;appeared to open fire within seconds&lt;/A&gt; of exiting their vehicles."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The family of Mr. Mojziszek has already obtained counsel to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

In fact, each of the killers were rewarded with a paid vacation, which is standard U.S. protocol for cops who murder Americans.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Operation Nation will follow the story until the names of the cops are released.

Jones, who is the sister of Mr. Louis Kimbro, called police because&amp;nbsp;her brother&amp;nbsp;- who was on several medications after having at least one stroke and one heart attack in his life&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp;was trying to pry open doors in&amp;nbsp;her home with a butcher knife.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;When Memphis Police thugs arrived, they promptly removed Ms. Jones from the home and placed her in the back of their car, so no witnesses would see what was to come. The thug cops allege they used pepper spray and shot&amp;nbsp;rubber bullets&amp;nbsp;at Mr. Kimbro (though I'm&amp;nbsp;still not sure why). The police thugs then say the 66-year-old, paralyzed Mr. Kimbro "charged at them" with a butcher knife, which prompted them to fire 30 bullets inside the home,&amp;nbsp;killing Mr. Kimbro instantly. Watch a report from Fox 13 in Memphis.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/Louis Kimbro.flv?ref=rss"&gt;http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/01/13/memphis-tn-police-thugs-murder-louis-kimbro.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Of course, the police thugs' names are being protected by the City of Memphis, and the two who fired the 30 bullets were rewarded with a paid vacation (aka "paid administrative leave"), which is the routine reward police thugs get when they murder, rape, and/or assault&amp;nbsp;American citizens.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Kimbro's brother, John, said that there is &lt;A href="http://www.myeyewitnessnews.com/news/local/story/Family-Speaks-Out-About-Officer-Involved-Shooting/ZysMMvsnOUqJdLp6FB5cQw.cspx" target=_blank&gt;no way the incident could have taken place the way the police thugs described it&lt;/A&gt;, and that they did not have to murder his brother. Ms. Jones is absolutely correct when she said that the thug cop went into the home fully intending to earn their paid vacations.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Operation Nation will follow this story at least&amp;nbsp;until the police thugs' names are revealed. There is absolutely no chance of charges being filed against the murderers because they are COP (Constitutionally Protected) thugs.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Our thoughts are with Mr. Kimbro family.</content>

		<content type="html">&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;UPDATED 1/15/2010: Ryan Accelerates Attempts To Murder Tripati...And Cover It Up&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;One day after Mrs. Kristnamma Tripati sent a letter to Governor Jan Brewer and the state legislature, ADC Director Charles Ryan seems to have ordered his goons to withhold food from Mr. Anant Kumar Tripati until he starves to death. Ryan will then tell media that Mr. Tripati was on a "hunger strike" to justify the murder. Mrs. Tripati wrote a second letter to the governor, also detailing how ADC employees are now stealing and destroying legal documents pertinent to Mr. Tripati's continued appeals. Here is the entire text of&amp;nbsp;Mrs. Tripati's&amp;nbsp;second letter to the governor.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;January 14, 2010&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Honorable Governor Brewer,&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Immediately after I wrote to you to draw your attention to mistreatment by the AZDOC that almost killed my husband Anant Tripati 102081, Special Security Unit (SSU) Staff Murphy, Sgt. Turner and a female officer seized all legal documents (3 boxes) that my husband had, including confidential legal communications between my husband and his legal counsel. I can only assume that this was ordered by superiors in the AZDOC in retaliation for the letter that I wrote to you. SSU Murphy then went on to make copies of these documents and provided these copies to ADOC’s legal services without his authorization since the documents contained confidential legal communications between my husband and his lawyer.&amp;nbsp; My husband became aware of his missing documents when he was provided with a receipt with Officer Soto’s signature documenting that SSU Murphy and Turner had taken away his legal material. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;To further aggravate the situation, instead of implementing treatments ordered by doctors, the AZDOC director Charles Ryan has ordered that my husband shall be treated as being on a ‘hunger strike’. According to my husband, threats were made by Deputy Warden Anna Jacobs, who told him if he does not eat whatever is provided, he would be segregated.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;As stated in ADOC Department order 1101.13, it does not give the department Warden the power to determine these matters but sets forth a process that must be followed. Prison rule states only health service staff can make such decisions.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I request all originals and copies made by SSU Murphy to be returned forthwith to my husband and appropriate disciplinary actions be taken against SSU Murphy, Turner and others involved. Furthermore, I request this retaliation to stop immediately.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Respectfully,&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Krish Tripati&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;by Brian A. Wilkins&lt;BR&gt;1/12/2010&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In a letter to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and several Arizona lawmakers (see entire letter in &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/files/111943-104535/Mrs_Tripati_Letter_To_Governor.pdf"&gt;PDF format here&lt;/A&gt;), Mrs. Kristnamma Tripati is demanding her husband be given the medical treatment he needs to survive what appears to be an attempted murder by&amp;nbsp;the Arizona Department of&amp;nbsp;Corrections.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mrs. Tripati is the wife of &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/10/15/anant-kumar-tripati-corruptarizonacourtscom-and-my-case.aspx" target=_blank&gt;Mr. Anant Kumar Tripati, the man being held in a state prison &lt;/A&gt;because he discovered documents proving race-based law enforcement in Maricopa County back in the early 1990s. He was sentenced to 52.5 years in prison back in 1992, even though all the&amp;nbsp;alleged "evidence" Maricopa County had against him has been completely debunked.&amp;nbsp;And beyond this fact, Mr. Tripati was arrested in the early 1990s by Maricopa County attorney's Richard Romley, Gunn McKay,&amp;nbsp;and Donald Conrad when he was working and living in Los Angeles, CA; which is obviously out of the jurisdiction of Maricopa County; and county attorneys do not have the power to arrest anyone even in their own jurisdictions.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This past Saturday, Operation Nation learned from Ms. Aradhna Tripati, Mr. Tripati's daughter, that her father's blood pressure had dropped to 70/35, which is about as close a human being&amp;nbsp;can get to being dead without actually dying. Then yesterday, we received a copy of the letter Mr. Tripati's wife sent to the Arizona legislator, which puts the "Interim" Director of the AZ D.O.C., Charles L. Ryan, on full notice of his malfeasance, and frankly, his attempt to murder a man who holds the keys to a possible federal criminal investigation (or a revolution by the people, which is more likely)&amp;nbsp;into the practices of the Maricopa County Attorney's Office and the A.Z. D.O.C. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/charlesryan022609.jpg?a=47" width=220 height=300&gt;&lt;IMG style="WIDTH: 224px; HEIGHT: 300px" src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/schriro.jpg?a=48" width=276 height=387&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Charles L. Ryan (L) was named "Interim" D.O.C. director by Gov. Jan Brewer&amp;nbsp;on Jan. 30,&amp;nbsp;2009 &lt;BR&gt;after former director Dora Schriro (R) followed former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano to &lt;BR&gt;Washington D.C., working for Homeland Security. However, Dora the Explorer quit that job&lt;BR&gt;after only a few months and is now the commissioner of the New York City D.O.C.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;To quickly summarize the letter to the governor, Mr. Tripati's wife confirms the obvious: that this Ryan character has been "outright deceitful" about Mr. Tripati's condition and medical treatments, and that Ryan, "has incentive to be deceitful, as the behavior of him and his employees are the subject of complaints." The letter further states that Mr. Tripati is being denied his special diet (which is a prisoner's right), which is the cause of his declining health. A few other highlights from the letter are as follows:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;-The Arizona&amp;nbsp;D.O.C.'s obvious policy of destroying documents which incriminate them.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;-The condoning of the use of death by overriding doctor’s orders, specifically&amp;nbsp;by Corrections Officer Gene Greeley,&amp;nbsp;as a tool of last resort for permanently covering up falsification of&amp;nbsp; evidence by the State Agents.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;-The Arizona D.O.C. is "cowardly" for saying Mr. Tripati is "uncooperative" because he refuses to allow them to stick needles in him to allegedly draw blood (this sounds all too familiar to me...obviously there is no telling what these people will try and inject into Mr. Tripati).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Before all the Maricopa County and Arizona government apologists come to Intern Ryan's defense, and accuse Mrs. Tripati of being out of touch, paranoid, or whatever other adjectives they may use, let's look at who this Ryan character really is.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Those of you living in Arizona will remember the story of Marcia Powell, the &lt;A href="http://www.kpho.com/news/19516633/detail.html" target=_blank&gt;48-year-old woman who was left to cook and die&lt;/A&gt; in a Perryville Prison outdoor cage for over four hours without water or shade&amp;nbsp;back in May of 2009, when temperatures were well over 110 degrees.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/Powellb_and_A.jpg?a=64" width=243 height=298&gt;&lt;IMG style="WIDTH: 214px; HEIGHT: 298px" src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/marciapowell.jpg?a=90" width=214 height=237&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Ms. Marcia Powell most recent booking photo (L) was not used by "mainstream"&amp;nbsp;media. &lt;BR&gt;A 15-year-old booking photo of Ms. Powell (R) with bad teeth was used to dehumanize &lt;BR&gt;her more in the eyes of media and the public, and further cover the murder ordered &lt;BR&gt;by Charles L. Ryan.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I realize that Ms. Powell is not very attractive, nor is she a dog or cat stuck in a tree...just a human being convicted of prostitution, so few people,&amp;nbsp;especially media and government,&amp;nbsp;will care about her. What makes her life even more important is the fact that Intern Ryan ordered the de-facto murder.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The &lt;A href="http://thelumleyvampire.homestead.com/" target=_blank&gt;Lumley Vampire&lt;/A&gt;, a blog run by current and former Arizona D.O.C. employees (and &lt;A href="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2009-05-28/news/the-lumley-vampire-attacks-arizona-department-of-corrections-charles-ryan-for-the-death-of-marcia-powell-arpaio-s-goons-zip-tie-a-12-year-old-and-the-jail-lockdowns-are-over/" target=_blank&gt;later covered by the Arizona New Times&lt;/A&gt;), blew the whistle on Intern Ryan, reporting that Ms. Powell was actually alive when she was discovered inside the holding cell and transported to West Valley Hospital in Goodyear. It was Intern Ryan who ordered doctors at the hospital to pull Ms. Powell off the life-support machine a few hours after she arrived at the hospital. So people who believe this Intern thug Ryan will not murder someone are the same people who believe there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;And speaking of Iraq,&amp;nbsp;it should also be noted that Intern Ryan was one of the top deputies&amp;nbsp;under Terry Stewart, the former AZ D.O.C. Director from 1995-2002, when numerous complaints of inmate abuse by prison personnel &lt;A href="http://schumer.senate.gov/new_website/record.cfm?id=265276" target=_blank&gt;were the subject of a 2004 press release&lt;/A&gt; from the office of U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, D-New York.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/stewart.jpg?a=91" width=191 height=229&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;Former AZ D.O.C. Director and Abu-Ghraib&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;architect Terry Stewart&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Stewart was one of several former prison officials chosen by the George W. Bush Department of Justice to rebuild Iraq's prison system, &lt;A href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/5395830/Abu-Ghraib-abuse-photos-show-rape.html" target=_blank&gt;including the infamous Abu Ghraib prison&lt;/A&gt;, after the United States invaded the country in 2003. And who can forget the sadistic, disgusting, purely evil, immoral&amp;nbsp;pictures that surfaced from inside Abu Ghraib which led to several U.S. soldiers (but obviously no directors or commanding officers) being convicted of all kinds of crimes.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;IMG style="WIDTH: 186px; HEIGHT: 173px" src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/AbuGhraib53.jpg?a=88" width=266 height=267&gt;&lt;IMG style="WIDTH: 170px; HEIGHT: 173px" src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/AG_10.jpg?a=69" width=306 height=232&gt;&lt;IMG style="WIDTH: 194px; HEIGHT: 173px" src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/Abu_ghraib_leash.jpg?a=99" width=369 height=278&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Intern Ryan is a disciple of Stewart, helped Stewart in "re-building" Iraqi prisons,&amp;nbsp;and obviously gets off on torturing, raping, and murdering (or simply watching all the previous happen) people&amp;nbsp;in his prison systems.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I assume Mrs. Tripati's letter will be ignored by Governor Brewer and the state legislature, as these people all cover for one another and all are striving for higher paying positions with more power. I also realize many people just assume if someone is in prison, they deserve it, so will discount the true story of Mr. Tripati.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;But for those who refuse to accept the obvious truths about Intern Ryan, his policies, and his training are part of what I call the blind patriotism in which tyranny depends on to work. Welcome to The USA, the land of blind patriots.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;RELATED ARTICLES:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/10/15/anant-kumar-tripati-corruptarizonacourtscom-and-my-case.aspx" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Anant Kumar Tripati, Maricopa County Race-Based Justice, and My Situation&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt; (updated 10/19/2009)&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</content>

You may ask Maricopa County thug deputy Adam&amp;nbsp;Stoddard for the answer.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As many of you know, the downtown Maricopa County Court Complex on 1st Avenue and Washington &lt;A href="http://www.abc15.com/content/news/phoenixmetro/central/story/MCSO-911-caller-says-bomb-to-go-off-at-Phoenix/KKRo8Plsy0iiQ-Oj7cPeUA.cspx" target=_blank&gt;was evacuated today because of a bomb threat&lt;/A&gt;; coincidentally only&amp;nbsp;one day after reports surfaced of a federal grand jury investigating the blatantly obvious criminal activities of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

The Court of Appeal will decide whether Stoddard should be returned to&amp;nbsp;jail or if the case against him will be dismissed. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If only this Arizona "justice" system worked this&amp;nbsp;efficiently for me and all other citizens of this state.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;RELATED ARTICLES:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/12/29/you-decide-my-petitions-in-the-arizona-supreme-court.aspx" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;You Decide: My Pro-Se Petitions In The Arizona Supreme Court &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;(12/29/09)&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;</content>

Photo &lt;BR&gt;by Alejandro Alvarez/Philly.com&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Mr. Seth Williams, the Philadelphia D.A., who took office in early January, has just proven to American citizens that a select few prosecutors are in office FOR THE PEOPLE. In one of his first, and likely most impactful cases&amp;nbsp;of his short tenure, Mr. Williams indicted former &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/83994907.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Philadelphia Police thug Frank Tepper on murder charges this past Monday&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Williams said it best: "The public demands that we apply the same standard of justice to every case regardless of the status of the victim or the defendant. And I have imposed that standard in this case." The people of Philadelphia obviously elected a man of integrity and a man who will uphold the U.S. Constitution and the most famous quote from the Declaration of Independence: "all men are created equal."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Thug Tepper is also facing reckless endangerment and possession of&amp;nbsp;"dangerous instruments"&amp;nbsp;charges. He will be held in jail until at least next Wednesday when he could get bail at his preliminary hearing (as long as the charge is ultimately not first-degree murder).&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/TepperMug.JPG?a=53"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Thug Tepper's Mugshot&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;by Brian&amp;nbsp; A. Wilkins&lt;BR&gt;1/7/2010&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/tepperfrankcopshooting.jpg?a=15" width=278 height=287&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;Philadelphia Police Thug Frank Tepper. Photo from &lt;BR&gt;KYW1060.com&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In case Philadelphia Police thugs have not been paying attention to &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/11/29/lakewood-wa-police-ambush-four-more-dead-cops-in-seattle-area.aspx" target=_blank&gt;what's been going on in the Seattle, WA area&lt;/A&gt;, I suggest they immediately read a few blogs and hope the people of Philly aren't quite as fed up as the people&amp;nbsp;in the Pacific Northwest.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Though it took more than a month after the &lt;A href="http://www.kyw1060.com/pages/5731665.php?" target=_blank&gt;November 21 murder of Mr. William Panas&lt;/A&gt; at the hands of&amp;nbsp;Philadelphia police thug Frank Tepper, the latter &lt;A href="http://policelink.monster.com/news/articles/130150-phila-police-officer-to-lose-job-over-fatal-shooting-of-unarmed-man" target=_blank&gt;will be officially fired after a 30 day suspension expires&lt;/A&gt;, which went into effect on Monday.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This all started when a brawl broke out in the Port Richmond area of Philly, near where Tepper apparently lived. Thug Tepper, who was home and off-duty at the time, exited his home and, according to him, tried to break up a brawl, and of course, said he "feared for his life." Tepper was getting his ass kicked by the brawlers, when he pulled out his gun and shot Mr. Panas once in the chest, killing him almost instantly. Watch a report from Fox 29 in Philadelphia.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.podcastingmanager.com/111943-104535/vlog/Tepper.flv?ref=rss"&gt;http://blog.operation-nation.com/2010/01/07/philadelphia-thug-cop-frank-tepper-fired-from-police-force.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Witnesses say Tepper never identified himself as a cop. And keep in mind, this is the same police thug &lt;A href="http://www.policeone.com/legal/articles/1969838-Philly-officer-in-shooting-has-a-record-of-complaints/" target=_blank&gt;who went after several teenagers with his gun and pepper spray&lt;/A&gt; after they allegedly bullied his 8-year-old son back in 2002. Of course, he was not fired for the incident and no charges were filed. Though Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams, who just took office&amp;nbsp;this week, says he will review the present&amp;nbsp;case for possible criminal charges, American citizens should not hold their breath. Remember: "cop" stands for Constitutionally Protected.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It would be overkill to list all the thuggery and malfeasance within the Philadelphia Police Dept. the past few years, but it should be noted that only a few days before thug Tepper murdered Mr. Panas, another Philadelphia Police thug - house negro Tyrone Wiggins - &lt;A href="http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/crime&amp;amp;id=7185092" target=_blank&gt;was arrested for sexual battery (rape)&amp;nbsp;of a minor&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Operation Nation will follow this story until the inevitable occurs: when thug Tepper is cleared of any wrongdoing.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;RELATED ARTICLES:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/07/26/three-men-brutally-attacked-by-philadelphia-police-thugs-acquitted-of-all-charges.aspx" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Three Men Brutally Attacked By Philadelphia Police Thugs Acquitted Of All Charges&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt; (7/26/2009)&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/2009/05/31/hero-of-the-month-april-shannon-mcdonald.aspx" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Temple University Student Shannon McDonald vs. Philadelphia Police Thug William Thrasher &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;(5/31/2009)&lt;/FONT&gt;</content>

		<content type="html">by Brian A. Wilkins&lt;BR&gt;1/3/2010&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/DavidMasters.jpg?a=71"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;Mr. David Masters and his step-daughter.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It was Friday, November 13, 2009 when former U.S. Army green beret, Mr. David A. Masters, was gunned down in cold blood by Fairfax County police thugs, after allegedly stealing flowers from a landscaping business.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;More than six weeks after the incident occurred, all we know so far is the most important fact: Mr. Masters,&amp;nbsp;was unarmed when the police thugs murdered him, and had bi-polar disorder. The name of the killer is still being protected by Fairfax County and absolutely no explanation has been given as to why this man is now dead.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;All we know about this case is what one witness told the Washington Post, under conditions of anonymity, as the witness fears police thugs will retaliate. &lt;A href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/19/AR2009111904105.html?sid=ST2009112000382" target=_blank&gt;According to the witness&lt;/A&gt;, Mr. Masters never exited his Chevy Blazer when cops, on foot, surrounded his car. The cops were all to the side of the car and behind it, thus were in no danger of being run over (which will likely be their excuse in the inevitable "justified" ruling in this case). Since I refuse to rehash the tale Fairfax County has been telling media, the bottom line is that Mr. Masters was shot several times through his back car window, killing him instantly. The last time I checked, stealing flowers (if&amp;nbsp;Masters in fact did so) is not a crime punishable by death.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This case is eerily similar to another incident involving killer Fairfax County cops.&amp;nbsp;On January 24,&amp;nbsp;2006, Fairfax County police thug Deval V. Bullock murdered alleged bookie Salvatore Culosi after cops used a SWAT team to arrest a non-violent gambler. The department has continued to withhold any and all&amp;nbsp;explanations or files from the family and the public. What makes this story even more disturbing is the fact &lt;A href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/crime-scene/update-on-the-news/culosi-case-languishing-in-fed.html" target=_blank&gt;Fairfax County police thug Dave Baucom lost more than $5000 (of taxpayer money)&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;to Mr. Culosi in the previous year. Thug Bullock said he shot Mr. Culosi "accidentally" after a car door bumped his arm. The Culosi family has since filed a federal lawsuit against Fairfax County and the individual thug cops, which is now pending in the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;What can be learned from these two cases is that Fairfax County cops will kill you, cover it up, and offer no public explanation. They obviously feel entitled to the lives and well-being of Fairfax County residents. Mr. Masters was murdered for allegedly stealing flowers and Mr. Culosi for taking the money of degenerate gambling cops. And of course, none of the police thugs were charged with any crimes. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Though I'd tell the families of Mr. Masters and Mr. Culosi to try and allow this alleged "justice system" to fix itself, neither will ever see, hug, or kiss their now deceased loved ones. There are, however,&amp;nbsp;other means to obtain justice. Fairfax Police got away with murdering your family. No amount of money will bring them back and nobody was charged for the murders. Street thug cops require street thug justice. You decide.</content>

		<title>Federal Appeals Court Rules TASER Incident "Excessive Force"</title>

Wilkins&lt;BR&gt;01/03/2010&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/111943-104535/TaserX26.jpg?a=41"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;TASER Model X26&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Pay attention police thugs: an American who is distraught after you pull them over for a seatbelt violation cannot be subject to TASERs. Though a "reasonable" cop&amp;nbsp;should&amp;nbsp;know this is common sense,&amp;nbsp;the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed&amp;nbsp;a U.S. District Court judge's decision Monday, making TASERs "excessive force" under the Fourth Amendment in certain situations.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This case began back in the summer of 2005 when Mr. Carl Bryan, who was 21-years-old at the time, was pulled over by police twice in a matter of a few hours. The first time, he got a speeding ticket, and was very upset about it...to the point of crying and removing his shirt to wipe away tears. The second time he was pulled over, less an hour later by Coronado (CA) Police thug Brian McPherson would lead to a senseless attack on an American citizen by a thug cop.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Thug McPherson ordered Mr. Bryan to pull over because the young man was not wearing his seatbelt. Mr. Bryan complied with both order, but got even more upset and started verbally berating himself and slapping his own thighs. Though Mr. Bryan did not threaten police thug McPherson or have any sort of weapon, McPherson contends that Mr. Bryan "took one step towards him," which he deemed a "threat" to his life. McPherson shot his Taser at Mr. Bryan, who was standing over twenty feet away from the cop. The summary electrocution caused Mr. Bryan to fall face first into the concrete, breaking four teeth and causing several bruises to his face.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Bryan sued the City of Coronado and thug McPherson in the U.S. District Court of Southern California, under Title 42 Sec. 1983 of U.S. code, claiming assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and failure to train. The district judge ruled that McPherson may not hide behind Eleventh Amendment immunity, which is always the first defense card rogue cops use. McPherson appealed to the Ninth Circuit, but it affirmed the lower court's decision. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The best part of the Ninth Circuit's decision was a quote from the case of &lt;EM&gt;Deorle v. Rutherford&lt;/EM&gt;, 272 F.3d 1272, 1279 (9th Cir. 2001), which the court said, "A simple statement by an officer that he fears for his safety or the safety of others is not enough; there must be objective factors to justify such a concern." The court also ruled that, "although Bryan had shouted expletives to himself while pulling his car over and had taken to shouting gibberish, and more expletives, outside his car, at no point did he level a physical or verbal threat against Officer McPherson."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Though I expect thug McPherson to seek certiorari from the U.S. Supreme Court - which will further delay his inevitable justice - this case should go a long way in taking these murder toys out of the hands of police thugs. TASER International has already had to admit that &lt;A href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33412648/" target=_blank&gt;shooting the electrocution toys at someone chest can kill them&lt;/A&gt;. And even though there were &lt;A href="http://www.amnesty.org.au/news/comments/20003/" target=_blank&gt;334 Taser-related deaths&lt;/A&gt; in the USA between 2001-2008, and according to &lt;A href="http://electronicvillage.blogspot.com/2009/05/taser-related-deaths-in-united-states.html" target=_blank&gt;Electronicvillage.com, 59 more deaths in 2009&lt;/A&gt;, federal courts continue to call these electrocution toys for police thugs "non-lethal force." &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Regardless, this decision is good news for Mr. Prospero Lassi, a Chicago native, and the countless other Americans who are victims of police thugs and their electrocution toys. Mr. Prospero filed suit in the U.S. District Court in Chicago last week, after the 40-year-old was &lt;A href="http://rawstory.com/2009/01/chicago-cop-tasered-diabetic-seizure-11-times/" target=_blank&gt;tasered 11 times by LaGrange Park (IL) police thug Darren Pedota&lt;/A&gt;,&amp;nbsp;while he was having a diabetic seizure on April 9, 2009. Granted, the Ninth Circuit does not have jurisdiction over the district court in Illinois, the different circuits commonly use their counterparts' decisions to shape their own.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As a society, we are either inching closer to getting rid of these barbaric torture toys, or continuing with the police state policies that now are the norm in this country. If the U.S. Constitution works like its supposed to, Mr. Bryan will get his settlement; and of course police thug McPherson will continue to collect paychecks from that police department.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;READ&amp;nbsp;ENTIRE &lt;A href="http://blog.operation-nation.com/files/111943-104535/Bryan_v__McPherson_(TASER_Excessive_Force).pdf"&gt;NINTH CIRCUIT DECISION&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;(PDF) HERE.
