Most of us here can easily connect the dots, but you’d be surprised at how many around you cannot….  It is for them, the cattle cars seem to be an option.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — With Californians tasked to cut back water during a four-year drought, the sound of water run-off has become a call to action.
California’s Placer County Water Agency has two new smart phone apps, launched last October.
One app is a shower timer, which converts time in shower to gallons of water used.  The second, sure to be more discussed, allows people to report water wasters.

“Customers can take pictures of water wasters, send it to us. It’ll include two GPS locations so we can follow up,” said Ross Branch of the Placer County Water Agency, whose district is the Sierra Nevada foothills that extends to Lake Tahoe.

911 Calls, and the corresponding police reports, mysteriously disappear !

Philadelphia has a problem.  It’s not a new problem; nor is it a problem that hasn’t been shared before; it has.
A racial problem that has been discussed before with much controversy; quickly reviewed two years ago, and just as quickly swept back under the rug of political correctness.
The problem is growing violence against white people by black thugs.  However, now, in 2015, as a result of the local police trying to hide the issue, the problem murmur is worsening.  A deep troubling tremor surfacing.   Emergency 911 calls outlining violence and even home invasions are being hidden, ignored, and covered up by law enforcement.
In essence this story from last week highlights the safari principle carried out to it’s fullest and most logical conclusion.  That is, until the victims say ‘enough is enough’, and confront the police who have stopped trying to maintain law and order.

You’d have to go more that a little deep into the article to see the part where “Four Salvadorian Nationals“, are under arrest for the most brutal and barbaric rape of a 16-year-old.
Those same “Salvadorian Nationals” are also known as the “2014 Unaccompanied Alien Children” that Glenn Beck and Dana Loesch were desperate to provide ‘teddy bears and soccer balls’ for last summer.

For some reason NBC seemingly overlooks that part.  I digress….

New York […] “This is one of the most brutal, heinous crimes that I have seen in a long, long time,” Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said at a news conference following the suspects’ arraignments. “This poor young woman is so lucky that, quite frankly, that she is alive. These are vicious young men, vicious young men and what they did to her was absolutely terrible.”

A simple traffic stop turns into an absolute fiasco because everything is profiling; everything is racist; everything is, well, just ridiculous…..
These cops are saints putting up with this nonsense.

Reverse the races and this would be leading CNN tonight, and tomorrow, and the weekend, and next week, and….

OHIO – A Pleasant Ridge man was arrested Wednesday afternoon, several weeks after police said he shoved a female jogger into oncoming traffic, brandished a knife and told her that “he hates white people,” according to court documents.

Rodney Arnold, 34, of Pleasant Ridge, was arrested and charged with ethnic intimidation, aggravated menacing, assault and carrying concealed weapons. (more…)

Baltimore Police Chief Anthony Batts has proclaimed that pharmacy looting is to blame for the spike in violent crime: (video)

To combat the problem the Baltimore Police announced a collaborative effort with the DEA to track down the looters who robbed the pharmacies. The DEA is asking for the Public’s help in identifying looters who broke into Pharmacies around Baltimore during the riots.  Rewards up to $2,000 available.

(WBAL TV) There were 27 pharmacies and two methadone clinics hit hard by looters during the riots. Maryland DEA head Gary Tuggle said they’re going after the people responsible.
“We are trying to identify 70 people. These photos were taken in the pharmacies and/or outside. We are developing still shots from videos and seeking to identify people,” Tuggle said.
The DEA gave 11 News pictures for nine people caught on video. The caption on the pictures reads: Recognize anyone? (link)

The authorities are trying to identify people we have already identified.

You might remember the guy on the left as “Keith Ambush” who MaggieMooHoo ID’d over a month ago.  Froggie Tweeted about it on May 8th: (more…)

An intellectually honest person cannot read the details behind this investigation and not see the potential for parallels to the Mississippi Jessica Lane Chambers murder, and Yemeni gas station owner/operator Ali Alsanai; aka Basem Alsanai, aka Ali Fadhel.
The First Stop gas station and convenience store, where Jessica Chambers was last seen alive on video, is owned/operated by a seemingly sketchy family originating from Yemen.
ALABAMA –  A couple of steaks shoplifted at a Gardendale Walmart three months ago led to the biggest food stamp fraud investigation in Jefferson County’s history, and launched 11 simultaneous raids this morning at convenience stores countywide.
Led by the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, teams of law enforcement officers met at 5 a.m. for a briefing and then fanned out across the county beginning at 6:50 a.m. The officers and agents were armed with 242 arrest warrants and plans to arrest 17 suspects.
All 17 suspects were in custody by mid-morning, and investigators already today have filed for forfeiture and condemnation of those 11 stores, which totals more than $1 million in assets. (more…)

Several people, ourselves included, have filed public records requests with the Waco Texas police department seeking information about the events of May 17th in the Twin Peaks shooting.  However, the Waco PD is clearly violating the spirit and intent of Texas Public Records laws while responding with essentially irrelevant information.
With more scrutiny of the events, some LEO advocates find themselves in denial mode as the ever-growing probability looms that many, if not most, of the killed/wounded met their fate as a consequence of an over-aggressive police response.   Jason Sickles of Yahoo News has his take.  (We embed the released FOIA information below – you can decide.)

TEXAS – As questions remain unanswered about last month’s deadly biker rampage in Waco, Texas, police there are trying to clamp down on public information about the case.

The move comes as scrutiny intensifies over the Waco Police Department’s handling of the sensational shootout that killed nine bikers, injured 18 and saw an unprecedented 175 people arrested and charged with engaging in organized crime.

By law, crime and arrest reports containing basic data — information such as a detailed description of the offense and the name and a description of the victim — have to be provided. (more…)

Several media outlets have noted a press conference given today by Baltimore Police Chief Anthony Batts where he asked for “federal agents”, and “federal prosecutors” to assist Baltimore with the skyrocketing violence and murders.

[…]  In a press conference Wednesday, flanked by representatives of multiple state and federal agencies, Batts said he is asking for federal prosecutors and agents to help, calling the renewed effort an “all hands on deck.”
Batts’ comments follow unrest in the city of Baltimore after the April 19 death of Freddie Gray, and the indictment of six Baltimore police officers involved. Since then, local prosecutors and Batts have come under fire by the police officers’ labor union, and theres been suspicion the rise in crime may be linked to a work “slowdown” organized by police officers.

The short version is Chief Batts admitting he’s lost control.  Ironic considering how quickly the police chief and mayor wanted the national guard to withdraw.  (more…)
