Last week the professionally aggrieved began a campaign against the Louisville Kentucky police department after a deranged man attacked a police officer with a flag pole, and was shot and killed.

The professional agitators began using the same antagonistic activist messaging, “F**k the Police”, as previously used in Ferguson, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Madison, New York, Charlottesville and McKinney, Texas. The Louisville Kentucky police had enough, and the Fraternal Order of Police penned an open letter to the public:

Now that letter has put the FOP in the crosshairs of the Black Grievance Community and the professionally aggrieved, “Ferguson 2 Louisville”.

(Via WDRB) Many activists and community leaders are taking action after last week’s strongly worded letter from the president of the Fraternal Order of Police.

The letter written to the public by FOP President Dave Mutchler has sparked so much controversy that a protest, community meeting, and a public forum are all planned Monday. (more…)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Judge Williams prosecuted cases as an assistant state’s attorney for Baltimore City from 1989 until 1997. In 1997, he joined the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice where he served as a trial attorney until 2002, and as special litigation counsel from 2002 to 2005. (link)

Trial date Oct. 13, 2015, with motions hearings scheduled for Sept. 2nd.

(Via Baltimore Sun) Judge Barry G. Williams, a former city prosecutor and civil rights litigator with a no-nonsense reputation, will preside over the high-profile criminal cases against six Baltimore police officers indicted in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray..

Williams’ appointment Monday came as each of the officers asked for a jury trial and entered not-guilty pleas in writing — a legal maneuver that allows them to avoid appearing at court arraignments that had been scheduled for next week.

“We look forward to trying this case before Judge Williams,” Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby said in a statement. “The defendants have all entered not guilty pleas, which is their right. All defendants in this case are presumed innocent, until, or unless they are found guilty.” (more…)

The bigger question is:

Are we a Constitutional Republic, or a Democracy?

This won’t stop folks, it just won’t.

As soon as South Carolina caved under public pressure to remove the Confederate flag from government buildings etc., the next phase went into full effect.

The confederate flag is proclaimed as a symbol of racism and oppression.  Those same activists view the U.S.A stars and stripes the same way.

What is to become of monuments and memorials to Southern generals and history.  Surely, all of that is just as offensive to the same crowd of activists.  Mississippi State university?  Ol Miss?   “The Rebel” sports groups?

Ponce De Leon, Christopher Columbus, General Lee…. where do you stop?  When will you reach a point that no-one is offended?  The Alamo?  Washington Park?  Gettysburg?  Penns Landing? (more…)

…I can’t finish the headline because I can’t figure out the PC rules that apply.

If it’s ok for President Obama to say it, then why isn’t it ok for CBS (or anyone else) to transcribe it ?

Modern Cultural Marxism is so fraught with complexity !

We first heard about this last week amid chatter in social media, and thanks to a link from Nivico it is now apparently confirmed – Tamir Rice’s mom, Samaria Rice, has fired Benjamin Crump as the family attorney in Cleveland.

From a local CLEVELAND article:

[…] Before the rally, Samaria Rice told Northeast Ohio Media Group that she is no longer being represented by attorneys Benjamin Crump and Walter Madison. She  dropped Crump and Madison last week and retained New York lawyers Jonathan Abady and Earl Ward, her third pair of lawyers since Tamir was killed.

“I wanted to make sure Tamir’s interests were put first,” she said. “I want the best representation for Tamir and myself. I needed to be able to sleep comfortably at night without wondering if someone was making decisions without my knowledge.”

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has added two additional “decision days” to their calendar for the session ending next Monday June 29th.  They just added this upcoming Thursday and Friday.

There are 7 decision announcements still anticipated including:  King v. Burwell, in which the court must decide whether the 6.4 million people getting subsidies on the federal exchange to buy ObamaCare will be able to continue doing so; and Obergefell v. Hodges, where the court is being asked to decide whether bans on same-sex marriage are constitutional and whether states must recognize same-sex marriages performed legally in other states.

We can anticipate one or more decisions on both Thursday and Friday of this week.

UPDATE:  Given the announcement of Obama giving the eulogy for South Carolina victims on Friday we can expect the Obamacare ruling decision announcement has been aligned accordingly:

This is one of those stories with multiple layers and angles for consideration embedded.

Summary:  Injured, innocuous (not black),  man wraps hand in towel and waves down a cop for help.  LAPD Cop gets out of vehicle shouting “put down the gun” (man never had gun) apparently anticipating a handgun under the towel.   Confused man unable to comply (man never had gun); without compliance cop draws weapon and shoots man four times, once in the head.  Now the man is really, really, injured – as the police roll him over in his blood (witness video) and handcuff him while waiting for ambulance.  Rushed to the hospital in critical condition – original hand injury now irrelevant to his bullet to head injury.

The case was Horne v. U.S. Dept of Agriculture (full embed pdf below).  Essentially a raisin farmer was fined (and the price of his crop similarly assessed) for not forfeiting their harvest to the USDA in a program where the government regulates supply and demand through production controls.

SCOTUS ruled 8-1 (Sotomayor dissent) the U.S. government cannot “take”, or force destroyed, farming crops without compensation to the farmer under the fifth amendment “takings” clause.

The most consequential aspect of the ruling stems from 8 justices affirming that “personal property” is afforded the same constitutional protection as “real property.  Specifically, in this case,  if  crops “taken” (or rendered removed from the market) for the public good, there must be compensation for the owner/farmer.   (more…)
