Ask yourself this question:  why would they need to use “drones”?    Think.   They are being operated over U.S. airspace.   There is no risk to the aviation asset being attacked, so why wouldn’t traditional search planes with FLIR be used?    Know what the real agenda is here…. the real goal…..  get you comfy (numb) with Drone Surveillance stories.

Also they just issued a $1,000,000 reward.   CALIFORNIA – Police plan to use spy drones in the hunt for a Rambo-style ex-soldier and policeman who has murdered three people and vowed to kill again.

They believe burly, heavily-armed Christopher Dorner is holed-up in the wilderness of California’s snow-capped San Bernardino mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles.

The burnt-out shell of his pick-up truck was discovered in the nearby resort of Big Bear, where residents and tourists have been warned to stay indoors as the search continues.

Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil. (more…)

I keep reading reports “claiming” the police statement around 20 shots fired.  There were way more than 20 shots fired.   In this picture you can see evidence marker #54 which indicates a shell casing location.   These were two *really* luck women.

LOS ANGLES — A mother and daughter newspaper delivery team who were mistakenly shot by Los Angeles police hunting for a fugitive former cop will get a new pickup truck courtesy of the department.

LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith says the department’s Chief Charlie Beck met with the women in their Torrance home Saturday to apologize and tell them he had arranged for someone to donate a new pickup truck. (more…)

(ht WeaselZippers)   The Department of Homeland Security’s civil rights watchdog has concluded that travelers along the nation’s borders may have their electronics seized and the contents of those devices examined for any reason whatsoever — all in the name of national security.

The DHS, which secures the nation’s border, in 2009 announced that it would conduct a “Civil Liberties Impact Assessment” of its suspicionless search-and-seizure policy pertaining to electronic devices “within 120 days.” More than three years later, the DHS office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties published a two-page executive summary of its findings.

Imagine for just a moment what the media would do, or would have done, if, say, Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh had written an open letter of support to….. say,…  Eric Robert Rudolph, while he was on-the-run, professing an “understanding of his feelings of hurt and pain” ?

Seriously.    What do you think the media would have done with such a narrative?

Now,…. consider Jesse Jackson pens an open letter to L.A. Shooter Chris Dorner:

Dear Christopher Dorner,

I understand your feelings of hurt and pain. I make this plea to you to stop spreading the pain, the hurt, and the fear. Please stop. Don’t take any more lives.

Christopher, your mother is distraught and deeply concerned for your safety. There are many good and credible people in Los Angeles who will help you. Danny J. Bakewell Sr. (The Los Angeles Sentinel’s Executive Publisher/CEO) ,Bishop Noel Jones, Bishop Kenneth Ulmer and Rev. Charles Singleton are all individuals I know personally. I promise that they will gladly receive you.

I will do whatever I can do for you without hesitation. Please contact me through Danny Bakewell at the L.A. Sentinel.

Reverend Jesse L. Jackson Sr.

…. President Obama was forced this morning to sit stoically at the National Prayer Breakfast while a world-renown pediatric surgeon who dragged himself up from poverty recounted his story, espousing conservative values and policies as a means of healing the nation and its poor. (link)

The media is hiding portions of the LAPD shooter’s manifesto because it highlights his love for the left-wing media and political ideology.   The media version is available from Clear Channel Communications pdf. CLICK HERE

But here is the full unedited version (links at bottom) where he adores MSNBC and CNN and Piers Morgan etc.  He talks of Trayvon Martin and Hero Obama etc.    If this was the opposite side of the political spectrum, if he were a conservative, this guy on the loose would be live 24/7 on every TV channel….. but, because the leftists are his heros the media is trying to bury it.

I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous murders and have taken drastic and shocking actions in the last couple of days. You are saying to yourself that this is completely out of character of the man you knew who always wore a smile wherever he was seen. I know I will be villified by the LAPD and the media. Unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name. (more…)

CHICAGO – Sneed has learned a plea deal is now on the table between former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and federal authorities probing allegations of campaign fund misuse.

“Significant jail time is now definitely a part of the deal,” said a top Sneed source close to the probe.

“But I think [Jackson’s wife] Sandi, feels like she was thrown under the bus by her husband, ” now that a separate probe has begun on her, a second source added. (more…)

If you shoot someone in Dear Leader’s hometown, Chicago, you have better than 10 to 1 odds you’ll get away with it.    Only 8% of non-lethal shooters were “charged” in 2011. Only 6% in 2012.   And a much smaller percentage ever reach a conviction.

Shooting Without Consequence

CHICAGO – It’s getting easier to get away with shooting people in Chicago.

Last year, gunmen who shot and wounded someone got away without criminal  charges 94 percent of the time, according to a DNAinfo.com Chicago analysis of  police data.

That’s even worse than 2011, when 91.5 percent of shooters escaped charges,  according to the data.  Chicago’s top cop said the “no-snitch” code of silence on the street is the  biggest contributor in his department’s struggle to charge shooters. (more…)
