The story will play into the anti-stop/frisk narrative – Heck, it might even be pushed by them, I don’t care – this is a level of brutality and wrongful conduct – even if it happened “by accident”.
PHILADELPHIA, PA – He was the only one who didn’t run. Now Darrin Manning may never father children after his encounter with a police officer earlier this month.
While on his way to a basketball game after school, the straight-A student and his teammates had an encounter with officer Thomas Purcell. Apparently one of the teammates may have said a snide remark to the officer, who then approached them. The boys ran, but Manning stopped and stayed. “I didn’t do anything wrong,” he said to Philly.com.
What happened next is hard to believe. Darrin was handcuffed, frisked, and his genitals were pulled and twisted with such force by the female officer that they literally tore off. (more…)
Color me not shocked. After the fiasco in New York last year I’m actually surprised it took this long for a bunch of pontificating progs to go in this direction….
(Via Fox News) A national newspaper chain with nearly 100 publications and 1.6 million readers is considering building “state-by-state databases” on concealed weapons permit holders, according to an internal e-mail.
The plan, laid out in an email from a top editor at North Carolina-based Civitas Media, could be similar to a controversial project a New York state newspaper carried out in 2012 which included an online map that identified gun owners in two counties by name and address. Civitas’ database project was detailed the plan in a Jan. 19 e-mail to newsrooms in 11 states, including Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
“The second project examines the explosion of ‘conceal and carry’ gun permits across the U.S.,” wrote Jim Lawitz, Civitas’ director of content, in an e-mail first obtained by the Buckeye Firearms Association. “Through public records act requests, we will attempt to build state-by-state databases that list those who have the right to carry a concealed weapon.” (read more)
Yesterday Iranian President Hassan Rouhani stated there is absolutely nothing in the Nuclear deal with Obama that references “dismantling” of centrifuges.
President Rouhani specifically called the White House liars and then Rouhani challenged the media to read the actual text of the agreement which the White House has refused to release.
Today the White House lost Fareed Zakaria. This is an important development because Obama has admitted that Zakaria is an advisor to his administration on Iranian policy.
You might remember that Angela Corey cancelled an already impanelled Grand Jury and held a press conference to announce she was proceeding with the Second Degree murder charge on her own auspices. The artwork’s inspiration may have come from this photograph.(more…)
Splodey Heads EVERYWHERE: Thoughtful, respectful pro-Life movie debuts in US theatres January 24th, refusing to bow to accepted Femi-Nazi convention that baby killing is the only acceptable “choice”.***
“…Inspired by the real-life story of Kathy DiFiore, the founder of Several Sources Shelters, writer and director Ronald Krauss wrote his original screenplay while spending a year in a shelter for pregnant teens, and based it on the lives of several of the shelter mothers.
Krauss wasn’t the only one who was inspired. Brendan Fraser asked to be in the movie after reading the script and spent time in the shelters with the mothers and the babies. On the last day of shooting, Krauss said Fraser “quietly told Kathy that he was donating his salary to the shelter, so he actually did the movie for nothing. It was a complete surprise to all of us.”
Suckers! The reparations wealth transfer from the hard working white middle class to the well connected race hustling class continues. We don’ have to prove nothin’ ….Whatcha gonna do about it .. just Holder saying it’s so MAKES it so … Hope! Change!
$1B coerced from “racist” lenders ….. and we’ve “Only Just Begun” …..
From Investor’s Business Daily:
“…..So “victims” were never actually identified. That’s why the complaint has to estimate that Ally discriminated against “approximately” 100,000 African-American borrowers.
More shocking, civil-rights prosecutors never actually checked the creditworthiness of those borrowers. That’s right, they never looked at credit scores, down payments, debt or other key risk-related factors banks consider to set interest rates. Not for blacks, or for supposedly “similarly situated” whites.
So how in the world can Justice claim “Ally’s specific policy and practice are not justified by a legitimate business need?”
It really can’t. That’s why it relies on statistics to “prove” such policies had a “disparate impact” on minorities, while arbitrarily finding those disparities so “significant” they can’t be explained by chance.
Arbitrary, because neither Justice nor CFPB will reveal its threshold for “significant,” despite repeated bipartisan requests from Congress.
The Credit Rating service Fitch notes that it may be more than just a desire to extort from the banks which lend in the auto market:
Fitch also notes that CFPB does not have jurisdiction over auto dealers and their practices. Actions taken against lenders could be an indirect way to regulate dealers.
A look through the CFPB “Advisory Groups” listings will show a “who’s-who” of Progressives with tentacles to well known fraud front groups, such as ACORN.
The official news release for the latest shakedown , er, “settlement” states it will consist of several parts: (more…)
Throughout America, black teens run wild; police refuse to “serve and protect”, media not interested in analyzing any potential “trends” or identifying the violence as targeted and racially motivated “hate crimes”.
Teens randomly attacking people on Rainier Ave.
An hour earlier police said the same teens ransacked and terrorized customers at a Rite Aid off Rainier. Seattle police said officers aware of problems in the area but are not doing any special patrols.
In fact, the Ethiopian church’s pastor said the police didn’t even ask them for their surveillance video.
A copy of the police report *briefly* flashed on the screen during the TV report confirms that the perps are all black males and females, and the victims white, but the news media does not once mention race, just “teens” committing “seemingly random” attacks. The media did not find it important to note that the surrounding area (Rainier Valley) is 83% non-white; but the victims are overwhelmingly white, however, they did express that the neighborhood “doesn’t have the best reputation”.
A black woman interviewed is dismissive, chalking the mob assaults up to “teen peer pressure” (Oh! well, okay then! Moving on ….)
You know what is needed? A “renewed commitment $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ….” /s/

And she’ll tease you She’ll unease you All the better just to please you She’s precocious and she knows just What it takes to make HuffPo blush Battleground Texas just purrs and sighs She’s got #WendyDavisLies
(Any Town USA) A walk down the 6-mile city street named for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. yields plenty of images that would surely unsettle the civil rights leader: shuttered storefronts, open-air drug markets and a glut of pawn shops, quickie check-cashing providers and liquor stores.
The urban decay along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in St. Louis can be found in other major American cities, from Houston and Milwaukee to the nation’s capital.
“It’s a national problem,” said Melvin White, a 46-year-old postal worker in St. Louis and founder of a 3-year-old nonprofit group that is trying to restore King’s legacy on asphalt. “Dr. King would be turning over in his grave.” (more…)
