yeah... it's real, the shadow from the helicopter's spotlight is constant, so I'm pretty sure this is not a CGI

How cops make money... they set up a situation to write tickets, having a guy walk back and forth across a street. That is his job for the day, eff up traffic.

Named as Somerville in the source article, but it did not give the state, in this video uploaded to Facebook on Monday showing what low levels to which police will stoop in order to issue a citation. This Police Department devised an ingenious method for catching “dangerous” criminals.

CHP punching woman on the 1-10, for walking on the freeway. I guaran damn tee you that cops do not report treating people this way, unless they are caught on camera doing it

Police say that the woman needed to be restrained and was endangering herself and motorists by walking on a busy road in the west of Los Angeles.

So, like I've said before, record every interaction you have with cops, and any you witness where they are abusing their job... as they certainly will always get away with such astonishingly illegal behavior unless we catch the violators on film and get them kicked off the police force.

Imagine for a moment how many times that cop has sat through police brutality training, and beat up other perpatrators, who are "innocent until proven guilty" I believe the legal phrase is, and taken justice into his own hands/fists to punish/condemn/sentence people for anything he's felt they've done wrong.

I bet you, all of you, that the California Governor, the California Highway Patrol Chief of Police, and this particular officers supervisor and department had does and says nothing about this.


The news had this to say: 

The California Highway Patrol has vowed to carry out a thorough investigation after a video emerged of one of its officers repeatedly punching a pinned down woman on the side of a Los Angeles freeway.

The woman had been walking on Interstate 10 west of downtown Los Angeles, endangering herself and people in traffic, and the officer was trying to restrain her, CHP Assistant Chief Chris O'Quinn said at a news conference. O'Quinn said the woman had begun walking off the freeway but returned when the confrontation occurred.

The video shows the woman struggling and trying to sit up while the officer punches her in the face and head until an off-duty law enforcement officer appears and helps him handcuff her.

Passing Driver David Diaz recorded the Tuesday incident and provided it to media outlets including The Associated Press. He told the AP in a phone interview Friday that he arrived as the woman was walking off the freeway. He said she turned around only after the officer shouted something to her.

"He agitated the situation more than helped it," said Diaz, who started filming soon after.

The officer is on administrative leave while the patrol investigates. He has not been identified.

The video caught the attention of local civil rights leaders, who expressed shock and outrage at their own news conference.

Taking photos of cops... ruled legal by the 1st circuit court of appeals. You can bet money cops will keep fighting this. They hate being caught on film abusing citizens (serve and protect, ha!)

The First Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a lawsuit against a local New Hampshire police department, affirming the right of citizens to film police carrying out their duties in public.

Carla Gericke attempted to film Sergeant Joseph Kelley as he pulled over her friend Tyler Hanslin on the night of March 24, 2010. Gericke was later arrested and charged with several crimes, including violation of New Hampshire's wiretapping statute. She was not brought to trial, but nevertheless filed a lawsuit against the Town of Weare, its police department, and the arresting officers. Gericke's complaint was that the wiretapping charge constituted "retaliatory prosecution in violation of her First Amendment rights."

In his ruling on the case, Judge Kermit V. Lipez explained that the gathering of information about government officials, including police officers, is a right protected by First Amendment that "not only aids in the uncovering of abuses, but also may have a salutary effect on the functioning of government more generally."

"Those First Amendment principles apply equally to the filming of a traffic stop and the filming of an arrest in a public park," Lipez wrote.

This had to be shared... no info came with the image... but l hope it was New York vs Philly cops messing with each other

brilliant cop I came across this morning... he's not chasing violators, he's just letting them come to him

The cop just waited in the middle on the jammed up on ramp, and every stupid person with a cell phone to their ear, or their seat belt off were pointed off to the side, and then gave tickets. Zero effort, maximum effect. Why in the hell aren't more cops this smart? If you want to stop cell phones users, and seat belt scoffers.... hell, even cracked windshields, bald tires, and whatever the rest of the simple visual moving violations there are to see 

SUV stolen in Mira Mesa (northern burb of San Diego) by 4 women. That's not the unusual part... the cops stopped it with a spike strip after 40 minutes of chase... still not unheard of. The cops forgot to retrieve the strip, and 6 innocent vehicles were effed up. Stupid cops

The chase ended in on southbound Interstate 15 in the Deer Springs area after the California Highway Patrol deployed the spike strip to stop a stolen Toyota Highlander.

The pursuit began on northbound Interstate 15 at Carroll Canyon Road about 11:45 p.m. Sunday, from the Mira Mesa area to Rainbow, where the pursuit turned southbound on I-15, according to the California Highway Patrol, that’s when the CHP deployed the spike strip.

 After the SUV came to a stop, the four women inside refused orders to get out, so officers shot out the rear window with a bean-bag shotgun, the CHP said.

 Witnesses said that at least six cars suffered tire damage driving over the spike strip before officers removed it from the roadway.

How Mexico break a teachers strike... but don't feel bad for the teachers, it seems that they are the problem

The teachers have marched through the capital at least 15 times over the last two months, decrying President Enrique Pena Nieto's plan to break union control of education with a new system of standardised teacher testing that become law on Tuesday.

The teachers' demonstrations have slowed passage of Pena Nieto's education reform and the pace of his wider agenda of structural reforms, which seeks to reengineer some of Mexico's worst-run institutions, including the weak tax-collection system and underperforming state oil company.
The teachers are now trying to maintain pressure to protect their rights and privileges as the government puts the labor reforms into effect and reduce union control over teacher hiring and assignment. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2013/09/2013913221252883327.html

Just like the UAW in the USA, unions have outlived their purpose, and become as corrupt as the corporations and companies that used to abuse workers.

Follow up to the King City Ca police abuse story

The owner of local towing company Miller's Towing Brian Miller, his brother and acting King City police chief Bruce Miller, and Sgt. Bobby Carrillo had charges brought against them last month by city prosecutors.

The three of them were charged in connection to allegedly targeting low-income immigrants by confiscating and selling their vehicles. Prosecutors suspect that Carrillo would pull people over for minor or no offenses and have their vehicles towed to Miller's Towing.

The Monterey County district attorney also filed charges against the city's former longtime police chief, Nick Baldiviez, in connection to the corruption scandal along with allegedly also accepting improper gifts, possessing illegal weapons and imposing criminal threats, according to the Times.

next time you hear that police forces have not enough budget, look at how many cars, trucks, and SUVs they have parked that they aren't using. Waste of resources.

ever sneak up behind a cop who is running radar? It makes them touchy.
