From [HERE] and [MORE] The American Civil Liberties Union recently challenged the FBI over a secret racial and ethnic mapping program, which allegedly gathers intelligence on specific American communities. Nationwide, the FBI is gathering reports on innocent Americans' so-called “suspicious activity” and sharing it with unknown numbers of federal, state and local government agencies. According to the ACLU, the program profiles Muslims and Arab-Americans in Michigan, African-Americans in Georgia, Chinese and Russian-Americans in California and broad swaths of Latino-American communities in multiple states.
Nusrat Choudhury, a staff attorney at the ACLU National Security Project, spoke about the program in a segment on HuffPost Live.
"What we've uncovered through over 15,000 documents from 34 states around the country already shows, as you mentioned, that communities of diverse backgrounds -- racial, ethnic and religious communities -- are being targeted for intelligence collection and investigation, based on nothing more than bias and stereotypes about what communities have a propensity to commit certain crimes," she told host Ahmed Shahib-Eldin.
From [HERE] Police were heard on Los Angeles TV and over LAPD audio yelling to burn down fugitive ex-cop Chris Dorner’s cabin, revealing a deliberate, considered plan to torch the building in which Dorner was believed to be hiding. After the incident police claimed that "Dorner" had either set the fire himself or were unaware of how the blaze started. [MORE]. No fire crews were present. No real time news was allowed.
Local news channel Kcal9 has played a recording in which police were heard to yell “burn this mother*****r down,” and another shouting, “f*****g burn this mother*****r,” as a man alleged to be Dorner was barricaded inside his hideout.
The news followed an LAPD audio recording in which a police officer is heard to say, “Alright, we're gonna go ahead with the plan with the burners,” and continued, saying,“we are going to go forward with the plan, with the burn, like we talked about,”as his colleague confirmed he is in agreement.
(In general, killing cops is an unintelligent reaction to white supremacy/racism (as is protesting, complaining, crying, begging, and singing; practices which have not led to justice for non-whites or solved the myriad of problems caused by racism/white supremacy. At least this episode has helped to reveal the true nature of the racist LAPD) but when white officers intentionally kill a non-white person and then lie about it; it is unjust murder. These officers have received the full support, financial and otherwise, of the white media, police chiefs, mayors and prosecutors of all the jurisdictions involved. Such is the nature of white collective power in a white supremacy system. White supremacy is maintained by violence & deception. [theCode]
There was scant evidence that "Dorner" had committed the alleged killings; apparently no ID was made in the LA couple or Riverside officer killing; no physical evidence linked him to those crimes and the so-called manifesto was unauthenticated and apparently no one had any first hand knowledge about it. It also unclear whether he was ID'd before "he" was allegedly burned to death by police. Of course, there will be no trial -bw) .
("Just moved the couch to vacuum here at headquarters and you'll never believe what we found! Chris Dorner's wallet!"[Anonymous]) Remember, he left his drivers license and badge near Lindbergh Field in San Diego on 2/7! [MORE] ButPolice claimDorner Drivers License was found in the remains of the cabin which was burned to a crisp in a fire that burned out by itself after "several hours"?Sounds like more deception/violence = white people practicing racism)
I can't go into re-living the emotions of what I went through so I will say this. I had my home viciously attacked by a gunman with my family and myself inside the house. No arrests were made and my family and I Received very little support. I had my Civil Rights violated on several occasions. I was falsely arrested at gunpoint by the Sheriffs as an Officer who ID'd himself and was conspired against by both LAPD and the Sheriffs when my Civil case went to Trial. I was falsely accused on more than one occasion and simply placed in a position that the trust was so compromised that I could no longer wear the Uniform. Also know there were many more episodes. All of these issues are well documented and I present them not to be a Whistle blower, However to hope that one would not assume that all of what is being said is Lies as presented by Dorner. I don't know him, But I know me. I will say from my experience, If a person knows they were wrong it is easier to move on without anger. Seems that Dorner obviously could not move on... Could I just be content and move on with my life and not say anything? Yes...Then I would feel that I for once had my chance to speak on something that hurts me to this day and I did nothing to arouse thought or provoke reform. This is what I hope comes from this whole situation:
On February 8th, 2013 at 3:50 pm a drone was sighted hovering above a neighborhood in West Oakland. There didn’t seem to be a focus, it just maintained it’s position above properties near a highway. It is not known at this point what agency or individual was operating the craft. But regardless of who was in control of the drone, it is the type of thing we can expect to see in the future of we don’t act now.
Berkeley Copwatch won an award this week for halting the Berkley Police Department’s attempt to purchase a Bearcat (an armored personnel vehicle) without public input. Copwatch was only able to defeat Berkeley Police’s attempt by mobilizing with others. So it is upon all of us to have these discussions and continue to collectively organize against such police strategies.
Alameda Sheriff’s recently released their intended policies around the use of drones and it’s clear that search and rescue missions are not their intended purpose.
LAPD 'Doing it Well' From [HERE] Alongside the police shooting on two separate incidents of innocent individuals in the manhunt for alleged cop-killing ex-cop Christopher Dorner, the frenzied search has also introduced the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) to seek a target on U.S. soil. According to MSNNow, “their use was confirmed by Customs and Border Patrol spokesman Ralph DeSio, who revealed the government’s fear that Dorner will make a dash for the Mexican border.”
A number of news sources, MSNNow included, stated that this was the first instance of airborne drones targeting a human target within the U.S. Not so: Among a handful of instances, police in North Dakota used a Predator drone (unarmed) in 2011 to track down the Brossart family — anti-government separatists who refused to return cows that had wandered onto their land.
As Gizmodo’s Eric Limer noted, the drones employed to search for Dorner are also “presumably” unarmed. “Should armed drones actually be authorized to fire on Dorner, then it would be a first, and frankly a terrifying precedent,” wrote Limer.
A source named only as a “senior police source” reportedly told the U.K.’s Daily Express: “The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.” Asked directly if drones have already been deployed, Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz, who is jointly leading the task force, said: “We are using all the tools at our disposal.”
The LAPD and the media believe that Dorner is responsible for killing a Riverside Police officer and a couple. There seems to be little evidence that Dorner actually committed the three murders. (see story below). Nevertheless, today Prosecutors filed a capital murder charge against Dorner for the killing of Riverside police officer Michael Crain,that could bring the death penalty -- assuming he has a trial and they actually prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he's 'that type of guy.' The charges do not involve the slayings of Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence. [MORE] He was also charged with the attempted murder of three other officers. [MORE]
As Congress takes up comprehensive immigration reform, House Republicans have insisted the U.S. needs increased border security before even considering earned citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
However, arrests at the border have dropped dramatically in Arizona to their lowest level in 19 years, even though more agents are deployed there than ever before:
The agency reported that apprehensions dropped to 124,631, a drop of more than 43 percent in the past two years and more than 82 percent since the highest mark in 2000.
Meanwhile, the number of agents stationed in Arizona rose to its highest level, with more than 5,100 in the state:
There is no clear relationship between the 21,000 agents patrolling the border and increased security. While the U.S. spends $18 billion on immigration enforcement, border crossings are at a 40-year low with net undocumented immigration at or below zero.
The Arizona Daily Sun recently warned against sidelining immigration reform with too many prerequisites for border security, arguing, “it is no longer justifiable to hold immigration reform hostage to an undefined “secure” border because of federal inaction.” The Arizona Republic wrote, “The plan devotes a great deal of emphasis to border security, promising more resources for an effort that already has seen years of extensive expenditures on infrastructure, technology and Border Patrol agents.”
Even Republicans, like Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), admit that the border is more secure than ever before. Meanwhile, there is more than enough economic and historic evidence for why the debate needs to focus on citizenship, and not border enforcement.
Christopher Jordan Dorner (born June 4, 1979) is a former LAPDpolice officer and ex-United States Navy reservist who is a named suspect in the 2013 Southern California shootings, which left three people dead and two others wounded. He is currently the subject of a large organized manhunt now spanning four U.S. states (California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico).
Dorner's manifesto?
The strongest evidence linking him to these shootings is his online manifesto. Before embarking on a series of alleged shootings and eluding police, Christopher Dorner is purported to have posted a detailed communication discussing his history, motivations and plans. [MORE] This letter or manifesto has not been authenticated as actually belonging to him and apparently no one saw him write it or had heard about it.
No One Heard Gunshots or Saw Shooting of Couple at Fancy Condo. No Video from Parking Lot.
Two of the victims, Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence (in photo) - who recently got engaged to be married - were found shot to death inside Lawrence's car last Sunday night in the parking garage of the Avenue One condominiums in the 2100 block of Scholarship around 9:10 in Irvine.
Police said Lawrence and Quan appear to have been shot where they were found, in the car in the open-air top level of the structure. However, the time of their death remains unclear - it was obvious, police said, that they had been dead for some time. It did not appear that they had been robbed.
The Orange County coroner said each died of multiple gunshot wounds. Jim Amormino, a spokesman with the Orange County Sheriff's Department said "No further information will be released at this time." He would not elaborate on the cause of death, or give information about how many times the engaged couple had been shot and where on the bodies the wounds were , citing the ongoing investigation.
Witnesses did not hear the gunshots or call 911 at the upscale condominium complex where they lived (Irvine is considered to be one of the safest cities in America). A passerby called police after seeing Lawrence's body slumped over in the car, police said.
Entry into the parking structure requires a key-code and there are security cameras throughout the complex, a resident said, adding that some spaces are allocated for overnight guests. [MORE] No video has been released.
No One Saw him Shoot Riverside Cops
Riverside police said two of its officers were shot in an ambush at Arlington and Magnolia avenues in Riverside (in photo) early Thursday morning (according to his alleged manifesto he is mad at the LAPD - not Riverside cops). Officer Michael Crain died, the other was taken to a hospital. Although, Police claimed Dorner did it, there were no witnesses. Riverside police said they believe Dorner drove up to the officers' vehicle, which was stopped at a stoplight, and fired at the officers with a rifle. No details or other facts have emerged to support this "belief." [MORE] Crain had been on the Riverside force for 11 years, according to Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz.
Police learned of the shooting when a "Good Samaritan" picked up a police radio and made a distress call on behalf of the wounded officers, Riverside police say.
In photo, slain officer, Michael Crain. In the history of modern law enforcement there has never been a single instance of a Black police officer shooting or killing a white police officer.
Dorner is the recipient of the following military awards:
From [HERE] The manhunt for Christopher Dorner led LAPD SWAT officers to a Northridge Lowe's home improvement store after people reported seeing someone who resembled the fugitive former police officer there. LAPD swarmed the store off Nordhoff Street about 5 p.m. Customers were escorted out of the store as police looked for any signs of Dorner. LAPD stressed that it was an unconfirmed sighting.
[Updated 7:27 p.m.: A law enforcement source said the call to the Lowe's might have been related to a couple fighting outside the store]. There have been several reports similar to this one in recent days that didn't pan out.
The search came several hours after the LAPD issued a tactical alert as it handled the Dorner manhunt as well as security for the Grammys. The LAPD did not detail its Grammy security arrangements, but the department regularly sends a large contingent of officers to awards shows. This year, the Grammys occurred on the fifth day of a manhunt for Dorner, who is suspected of killing an Irvine couple and a white Riverside police officer.(In photo, LL Cool J, who was a host).
The tactical alert came the same day that Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced a $1-million reward for information leading to Dorner's capture. “We will not tolerate anyone undermining the security of this community,” Villaraigosa said at a news conference at LAPD headquarters downtown. “We will not tolerate this reign of terror.”(of course, he wasn't referring to LAPD terrororzing non-white people in their "community")
If you are Brown Skinned & Look Anything like Dorner Leave Southern, CA. Immediately. LAPD will Shoot to Kill. In the event that a white cop made such a mistaken identity and shot a non-white person, his fellow officers, the police chief, internal affairs, the union, the media, the prosecutors, the judge and the jury would most likely support, defend & finance the white officer's "right" to do so under the present "emergency" circumstances. Such is the nature of White collective power in a white supremacy system. [MORE]
The Dorner situation is an "emergency" because a Black police officer killed a white cop and unarmed white people. In the history of modern law enforcement this has never happened before. In fact, in the history of modern law enforcement there has never been a single instance of a Black police officer shooting or killing an unarmed white person. [MORE]
In photo, two Latino women who were delivering newspapers when they were shot by police during a massive manhunt for Dorner. The women were driving a blue Toyota Tacoma. Dorner was allegedly driving blue Nissan Titan. The 71 yr. old driver was shot in the back. See video above.
In photo, Torrence Police say they saw a driver in a black Honda (they all look the same) pickup truck driving on Flagler Lane near Beryl Street. Dorner was allegedly driving blue Nissan Titan. Officers, suspecting it was Dorner, purposely collided with the truck and shot at the Dorner clone. The driver was a baggage handler at LAX heading to the beach to go surfing, The Times reported. Avoiding bullets that had ripped through his windshield, David Perdue, a white man. was not shot but suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury in the crash and has not been to work since. His black 2006 Honda pickup truck was totaled.
"I don't want to use the word 'buffoonery,' but it really is unbridled police lawlessness," Perdue's attorney, Robert Sheahen, told The Times. "These people need training and they need restraint."
In a news conference near the scene of the shooting hours after it took place, Torrance police falsely said Perdue was not injured in the incident. [MORE]

Alexander Landau, now 23, told The Denver Post that representatives from the FBI called him on Friday night to inform him that they didn't believe they had enough evidence to charged the officers with a federal crime.
Landau's case brought about one of the largest police brutality settlements in Denver history, totaling $795,000 in 2011. It also brought about community outrage, when photos of Landau's bloody face surfaced after the incident.
The original lawsuit accused the officers of stopping Landau, 19, after midnight on Jan. 15, 2009, for making an illegal turn, then calling him "nigger" and beating his face and head with their fists, a radio and a metal flashlight until he was unconscious.
Landau, a student at Community College of Denver, was treated at the hospital for a broken nose, brain bleeding, a concussion, a hemorrhage in his right eye and head lacerations that required several dozen stitches.
Landau was driving with fellow student Addison Hunold as a passenger about 12:30 a.m. on Jan. 15, 2009, when Nixon pulled him over for an illegal left turn, the lawsuit said. Landau did not have his license with him, but he gave Nixon his identifying information so the officer could look up his license. (Apparently then theywere asked to exit the vehicle for no valid reason). Nixon patted down both men and found marijuana on passenger Hunold. The officer then searched the interior of the car. Then Murr and Middleton arrived.
The conflict erupted when Officer Nixon moved to search the trunk. Landau, the driver, asked if police had a search warrant as he "stepped toward the officers with his hands deferentially raised in the air, showing that he was not a threat. Murr grabbed Landau's left arm and Middleton clasped his right arm, the lawsuit said. "Nixon then punched the restrained (man) in the face" and Landau fell to the ground.
To provide cover for the "unprovoked attack," the lawsuit claimed, Murr falsely yelled: "He's going for the gun." Landau shouted, "No, I'm not!" the lawsuit said. The cops began pummeling Landau first with their fists, then with a police radio and a metal flashlight. Additional officers arriving from the police station a few blocks away and surrounding the scene. Some of the reinforcements joining in the fracas, others standing and watching.
In police reports, the three officers said they were unable to subdue the 5-foot-8-inch, 155-pound teenager. At one point, the lawsuit said, Murr put his revolver to Landau's head and threatened to shoot him. Landau lost consciousness and awoke lying in a pool of his own blood, the lawsuit said. "Where's that warrant now, you f------- n-----?" a male officer asked, according to the lawsuit.
What is Collective White Power? From [HERE] and [MORE] The federal criminal trial of a Fresno police sergeant and three former officers ended abruptly Friday after jurors said they were hopelessly deadlocked 9-3 to find the defendants not guilty of charges of police brutality and obstruction of justice. The panel's vote was a devastating blow to the prosecution, which convinced three Fresno police officers to testify against their own. The jury had one or two people who appeared to be Hispanic. The rest were white. [MORE]
(What kind of white people (racist suspects) were on the jury? There are whites who:
are practicing racism against non-whites at a particular moment
are not practicing racism at that moment but have practiced it at a previous time, or will practice it at a later time
are not practicing racism at that moment, but say and do nothing to stop those who are
are not practicing racism at that moment, but have no problem with other whites practicing racism (don’t care)
are benefiting from the crime of racism even if they are not practicing racism at that moment
refuse to tell WHO is practicing racism; HOW racism is being practiced; and refuse to help the victims with the information they have
oppose racism by exposing and opposing whites who practice it [MORE])
It's unclear whether prosecutors will retry the case. Suspect Rolando Celdon was punched and kicked, bit by a police dog, shot with a stun gun and blasted several times with a bean-bag shotgun in October 2005. He did not testify as he was deported as a result of the underlying criminal case.
"What a waste of taxpayers money," said attorney Marshall Hodgkins, who defended former Fresno officer Sean Plymale.
