Who the heck is Joe Arpaio to tell people what to do? He’s just a sheriff. I hope that someday he will see that people are dying of starvation. Does he like seeing that? Will he ever change? It’s not fair! He has everything–wealth, money, fame. What do the Mexicans have? Nothing. Why is he like this? I’d like him to come up with three reasons why he is like this or what the Mexicans have done to him.
He has no right calling the Mexicans “pigs,” because, like I said, he needs to look in the mirror. He has passed some good laws–and some bad laws. One bad law would be his stance on immigration! Why just Americans? Why not Mexicans? As I have said once before, it isn’t just going on with Mexico! It’s going on around the world. One of these days, people around the world will get angry and declare war against America! Who are we going to have then?
Nobody! That’s who. Think, Joe! Think. You haven’t even given it a chance. If there was no problem with immigration, life would be better & happier because the Mexicans would be happy and we’ll be happy because it would help restaurants and us to learn about other cultures. I’m sure everyone wants that!
This is where Christopher Dorner is reported to be in a stand off with law enforcement very near this location.
KABC broadcasted live images of a car-to-car search at the bottom of City Creek on Highway 330. That is on another highway leading from the Big Bear area at least 30 miles by vehicle away from the location of the stand off.
people who are making Chris Dorner sound like some vigilante hero... that's just sick.
at this point i could give a rat’s ass if the man was framed or not. what he is doing is so far beyond the realm of okay. i have many friends who were close to Monica and Keith and their deaths are tragic. the death of the cop is tragic.
I’m further away from this situation than to know who Keith Quan was. Just like I’d tell you the sun rises in the east, I’ll tell you that there is no justification in the killing of the dependents of LAPD officers or their family. We’re only looking for an explanation for why someone would do that. One explanation is Dorner’s manifesto and it makes a lot of sense to a lot of people.
Most lily white girls from Orange County don’t have to worry about crooked cops. But there are plenty of people who have heard about all kinds of abuse at the hands of law enforcement and find it absolutely unacceptable. Most lily white girls from San Diego County don’t have to worry about being shot by law enforcement, but Latinas do because cops in San Diego get away with it. Did you ever see the tape of Rodney King beaten by LAPD officers?…I’ve got other things to do, so I’m done compiling examples of why Dorner feels justified in killing people.
Don’t confuse people who say they understand why a crime was committed with those who say no crime was committed or who say it was wrong to characterize an act as criminal .
Don’t honor these fallen officers/dirtbags. When your family members die, they just see you as extra overtime at a crime scene and at a perimeter. Why would you value their lives when they clearly don’t value yours or your family members lives? I’ve heard many officers who state they see dead victims as ATV’s, Waverunners, RV’s and new clothes for their kids. Why would you shed a tear for them when they in return crack a smile for your loss because of the impending extra money they will receive in their next paycheck for sitting at your loved ones crime scene of 6 hours because of the overtime they will accrue. They take photos of your loved ones recently deceased bodies with their cellphones and play a game of who has the most graphic dead body of the night with officers from other divisions. This isn’t just the 20 something year old officers, this is the 50 year old officers with significant time on the job as well who participate.
Residents in Arizona town feel 'invaded by Border Patrol'
“Honey, I’ve lived here all my life. This is all I know. I thought we were better off before the Border Patrol invaded us,” said Annette Walton, 53, as she served coffee and burgers to regulars at her diner, Our Place Cafe in South Bisbee. “We were not invaded by the illegals. We were invaded by Border Patrol.”
Innkeeper Jami Knudsvig is put off by the “ominous and eerie” way the border fence near her home is illuminated at night, itsgreen-tinged lights pulsing in rhythm.
“They’re like Christmas lights. Just bigger,” she said. “Who are we keeping out? Are we keeping us in?”
Dan Oldfield, who has lived in the area for more than 30 years, calls the security presence excessive and “a constant nuisance.”
Oldfield said he had never felt unsafe, even when his home was burglarized in the 1990s by people he suspects were border crossers.
“Nothing was taken,” he said. “They went through the refrigerator, looking for something to eat.”
A tree-maintenance contractor, Oldfield said he didn’t understand how the agents filled their days, noting that illegal border crossings in the area have plummeted in recent years.
When law enforcement officers recover a gun and serial number, workers at the bureau’s National Tracing Center here — a windowless warehouse-style building on a narrow road outside town — begin making their way through a series of phone calls, asking first the manufacturer, then the wholesaler and finally the dealer to search their files to identify the buyer of the firearm.
About a third of the time, the process involves digging through records sent in by companies that have closed, in many cases searching by hand through cardboard boxes filled with computer printouts, hand-scrawled index cards or even water-stained sheets of paper.
In an age when data is often available with a few keystrokes, the A.T.F. is forced to follow this manual routine because the idea of establishing a central database of gun transactions has been rejected by lawmakers in Congress, who have sided with the National Rifle Association, which argues that such a database poses a threat to the Second Amendment. In other countries, gun rights groups argue, governments have used gun registries to confiscate the firearms of law-abiding citizens.
Stop the expansion of Delegation of Immigration Authority Section 287(g) Immigration and Nationality Act
President Obama won re-election with a mandate to do better on immigration, not to continue broken policies like the Delegation of Immigration Authority Section 287(g) Immigration and Nationality Act. The 11 new applications and the active counties are up for review by the Department of Homeland Security. We need to make it clear that 287(g) should be a thing of the past. Our families belong together. It’s police and ICE that should be separated. When immigrants can’t trust local police, we are more vulnerable to dangerous criminals.
We want to see a difference on immigration in the President Obama’s second term. The road to reform can start by terminating 287(g). It leads to racial profiling, makes us all less safe, and should be ended.
In July, MuckRock’s Brandon Weiber filed a Freedom of Information Act request through California’s so-called Sunshine Amendment to try and find out about any plans the San Diego Sheriff’s Department has to acquire a drone. Requests for proposals, policies, departmental records and a bevy of other information was petitioned for in a plea sent July 12, but just a week later he was told, “The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has no records that are responsive to your request.”
Weiber, on the other hand, begs to differ.
In September, Weiber sent a follow-up letter directing the Sheriff’s Department to a sales quotation from Datron World Communications, Inc. detailing a drone that was being pitched to Sgt. Richard Williams of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Dept., Special Investigations Division.
Since when is the FBI available (for anyone with the right social connections) as a private troll-uncloaking cyber police force?
Do you have any idea how hard it is to get the FBI to take action on an actual online death threat case, if the recipient isn’t a well-connected “honorary ambassador” in the military social elite? The short version: it simply does not happen. This whole story smells.
As former Wired News reporter Ryan Singel tweeted, “If the Broadwell/Petraeus case doesn’t show how ridiculous the FBI’s powers are, I don’t know what will prove it to you.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent who fatally shot a woman in Chula Vista last month was suspended four times for misconduct during a nearly four-year stint as an Imperial County sheriff’s deputy and quit before being fired, court documents show.
The attorney for the woman’s family filed a wrongful death claim Friday with the Border Patrol seeking damages and raised questions about agent Justin Tackett’s departure from his sheriff’s job.
The name of the Border Patrol agent alleged to have shot Valeria Munique Tachiquin-Alvarado is Justin Tackett.
Do you know if the Border Patrol has rules for deadly force? Customs & Border Protection’s web site doesn’t have any.
