It all started on the night of April 19th, when Willet was driving, he noticed a car was following him. Fearing that it may be someone meaning to do him harm, he sped away. The car following him turned out to be undercover police car, which pursued Willet to Ontario and Philadelphia Streets. Willet parked his vehicle, got out and ran across the street where he willingly surrendered. Willet reported that he stood there with his hands in the air when an officer punched him and threw him down to the ground. Shortly after that is where the video begins, you can see that officers kneed and punched Willet while trying to apprehend him. Towards the end, you can see an officer kicking and punching Willet while he was handcuffed and laying face down, pleading for them to stop. Willet was charged with resisting arrest and minor drug possession charges. This video has been sent to Buffalo Police and Mayor Byron Brown. Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda ordered an internal affairs investigation into the incident and all the police officers involved have been suspended for the duration of the investigation. Commissioner Derenda and Mayor Brown both said that they will not tolerate any misconduct or criminal activities involving police officers. We are currently waiting for the result of the internal investigation. Thank you to everyone who shared and spread this video around, it has received the attention of both the local media and some national attention.</div></div>T-Bonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05037906893374140634noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546482792412823817.post-21158760848635403762014-05-01T23:00:00.007-05:002014-05-01T23:00:12.138-05:00Buffalo Police Brutality 4/24/2014<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GxLivtiv6Yo" width="459"></iframe><br /><br />

The announcement, posted in the <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2014/02/05/2014-02210/cyantraniliprole-pesticide-tolerances" style="border: 0px; color: #3b4d81; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Federal Register</a> on Wednesday, set tolerances for the pesticide cyantraniliprole in foods ranging from almonds and berries, to leafy vegetables, onions, and milk. EPA establishes the allowable limit of the chemical residue, called tolerances, based on what EPA considers ‘acceptable’ risk. EPA’s ruling details that “there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide residue,” despite all evidence that cyantraniliprole is toxic to bees and harmful to mammals.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ignoring beekeeper warning and concerns on their impacts to bees, EPA has given the green light for cyantraniliprole after recently registering sulfoxaflor. In July 2013, <a href="http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=11138" style="border: 0px; color: #3b4d81; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">beekeepers filed suit</a>against EPA for their decision to register sulfoxaflor when it failed to demonstrate that it will not cause any ‘unreasonable adverse effects on the environment’ as required by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Several comments were submitted by concerned beekeepers and environmental advocacy groups, like Beyond Pesticides, during the public comment period that stated that approval of a cyantriliprole, pesticide highly toxic to bees would only exacerbate the problems faced by an already tenuous honey bee industry and further decimate bee populations. However, instead of denying or suspending registration in the face of dire pollinator losses, EPA has chosen to register another insecticide that is toxic to bees, dismissing concerns regarding bee health in its response, and setting itself up for further <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/death-of-the-bees-us-government-approves-another-toxic-insecticide/5377846">litigation.</a></div>

“Despite the seemingly strong empirical support in previous studies for theories of majoritarian democracy, our analyses suggest that majorities of the American public actually have little influence over the policies our government adopts. Americans do enjoy many features central to democratic governance, such as regular elections, freedom of speech and association, and a widespread (if still contested) franchise. But, …” and then they go on to say, it’s not true, and that, “America’s claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened” by the findings in this, the first-ever comprehensive scientific study of the subject, which shows that there is instead “the nearly total failure of ‘median voter’ and other Majoritarian Electoral Democracy theories [of America]. When the preferences of economic elites and the stands of organized interest groups are controlled for, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”</div>

This week, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">The</em> <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Daily Show</em> had Rolling Stone reporter and best-selling author, Matt Tiabbi on to talk about wealth inequality in America.

During the segment, host Jon Stewart pointed out that inequality is mainly conceptualized as a taxation issue or an income distribution problem, it’s rarely thought of as a legal problem. Taibbi argues that it’s the legal system which ensures that the rich stay rich, while the poor get poorer. His point: Before any lasting changes can be made, we must first address the legal snares that keep Americans perpetually poor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 16.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
As an example, Taibbi writes an anecdote in his book which shows just how easy it is to be viewed as a criminal when you’re poor – a system that is so commonplace as to become internalized, even among the lawyers, judges and victims whom experience it first hand every day.</div>

A 35-year-old black man named Andrew Brown is arrested for “obstructing pedestrian traffic” in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Brown, having been similarly harassed by the cops countless times before, refuses to provide ID and accept a summons, and is consequently brought into court. Once there, Brown explains to Waldorf that he was talking to a friend outside his own apartment building after getting off work, and that, given the lateness of the hour (shortly before 1 a.m.), there wouldn’t have been any pedestrian traffic on Myrtle Avenue to obstruct.</div>
<div data-para-count="267" data-total-count="1822" itemprop="reviewBody" style="border-left-color: rgb(233, 233, 233); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 20px;">
None of this seems to register with Waldorf. “What are you arguing?” he asks. He wonders aloud whether Brown was “being a wise guy” with the cops, and expresses surprise that a person such as Brown would have a job. He advises his client to pay the $25 fine.</div>
<div data-para-count="273" data-total-count="2095" id="story-continues-2" itemprop="reviewBody" style="border-left-color: rgb(233, 233, 233); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 20px;">
Brown refuses and explains it all over again to the judge. The judge turns to Waldorf and asks whether Brown will pay the $25 fine. Waldorf explains, for the second time, that Brown won’t pay, his manner suggesting that for the life of him he can’t figure out why not.</div>
<div data-para-count="482" data-total-count="2577" itemprop="reviewBody" style="border-left-color: rgb(233, 233, 233); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 20px;">
Only then does the judge bestir himself to ask the arresting officer whether he saw any other people on the sidewalk that night. No? “O.K., then,” the judge sighs. “Not guilty.” Out in the hallway, Taibbi asks Waldorf why white people never get arrested for obstructing pedestrian traffic. Oblivious to the lesson that has just played out, and puzzled as to why Taibbi would want to include any of this in a book, Waldorf replies, “Low-class people do low-class things.” <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/13/books/review/the-divide-by-matt-taibbi.html?_r=0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.298039); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">[source]</strong></a></div>

On the flip side, we see incidences of exploitation and victimization that are so blatantly harmful to society and so destructive to the people who fall prey to them, that they must be crimes, and yet the law either treats them as minor offenses, or ignores them completely.</div>

He’s not speaking in hyperbole. The major actors in the financial meltdown of 2008 are almost universally sheltered from any criminal liability. In fact, hardly any banker or Wall Street executive has been charged with a crime for what essentially amounts to, as Taibbi puts it, “robbing old ladies” of <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/looting-the-pension-funds-20130926" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.298039); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">their pension funds</strong></a> to enrich their shareholders and, of course, themselves.</div>

It is now almost five years since the world’s financial system was brought to its knees and had to be bailed out by taxpayers at a cost of billions. Millions of people lost their jobs or suffered from lower living standards because of the recession brought on by the financial collapse. Yet almost no bankers have faced legal sanctions for their part in precipitating the crisis. In Britain, which had to bail out three of its biggest banks, not one senior banker has gone on trial over the failure of a bank. In America there have been just a handful of criminal charges brought against senior executives of banks, and even fewer successful convictions. This is very different from the response of prosecutors in earlier banking crises, such as the meltdown of Savings & Loans institutions in America in the 1980s. In that case more than 1,000 bankers were convicted for their misdeeds. <a href="http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2013/05/economist-explains-why-few-bankers-gone-to-jail" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.298039); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">[source]</strong></a></div>

The financial sector is always trying to push the envelope to see what the American public and the United States government will let them get away with. In 2008, they pushed the envelope right off the table and still no one batted an eye. That should be a warning sign that things are not alright.</div>

It’s not enough for the economy to slowly get back on its feet, we must also address the criminal activities that led us here and that have, so far, been left unpunished. The media, the government, and the public may have ignored it, but the bankers surely didn’t it.</div>

Not too many years ago, any news story about bonus money would've been about some 20-year-old baseball player — an up-and-coming superstar getting $100,000 or so on top of his salary as an extra incentive to join the Yankees, Giants, Red Sox or whatever team. Sportswriters dubbed them: "Bonus Babies."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
How quaint. These days, stories about bonus money don't elicit cheers, for they feature some of society's least admirable people: Wall Street bankers. Far from superstars, they can be subpar performers or even what amounts to crime syndicate bosses overseeing everything from simple fraud to laundering money for drug cartels. Yet, in the first part of each year, we witness this cluster of greedmeisters quaffing champagne, laughing uproariously and shouting, "It's bonus time, baby!"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
This year, even though the Wall Street bosses have presided over a 30 percent drop in their banks' profits, they've extracted a 15 percent raise in overall bonus money, totaling a ridiculous $27 billion. That averages out to $165,000 in extra pay to each Wall Street banker. But averages deceive, for thousands of lower-level bankers are given a dab, while those up in the executive suites make off with the bulk of the bonus heist.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
Michael Corbat, CEO of Citigroup, for example, didn't just grab a 15 percent increase in bonus pay, but nearly three times that. His total haul was $16 million. Then there's Jamie Dimon, boss of JPMorgan Chase. He had a really terrible year in 2013, forcing his shareholders to shell out some $22 billion in penalties for tallying up a long list of illegalities. But that didn't stop Jamie from taking a 74 percent hike in bonus money this year — he pulled in a cool $18.5 million.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
In a time when the 90 percent majority of Americans see their income falling, you'd think Wall Street might show a bit of modesty.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
But, instead, they choose to show us just how much Wall Street crime really does pay.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
Let's review the rap sheet of Wall Street banks: Defrauding investors, cheating homeowners, forgery, rigging markets, tax evasion, credit card ripoffs ... and so sickeningly much more.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
At last, though, some of the cops on the bank beat seem to be having regulatory epiphanies. The New York Times reports that some financial overseers are questioning "whether such misdeeds are not the work of a few bad actors, but rather a flaw that runs through the fabric of the banking industry. ... Regulators are starting to ask: Is there something rotten in bank culture?"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
Really? Where've they been?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
Millions of everyday Americans had no problem sniffing out that rot back in 2007 at the start of the Wall Street collapse and nauseating bailout. Imagine how pleased they are that it took only seven years for the stench of bank rot to reach the tender nostrils of authorities. Still, even sloooww progress is progress.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
Both the head of the New York Fed and the Comptroller of the Currency are at least grasping one basic reality, namely that the tightened regulations enacted to deal with the "too big to fail" issue do nothing about the fundamental ethical collapse among America's big bankers. The problem is that, again and again, Wall Street's culture of greed is rewarded — bank bosses preside over gross illegalities, are not punished, pocket multimillion-dollar bonuses despite their shoddy ethics and blithely proceed to the next scandal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
More restraint on bank processes miss a core fact: Banks don't engage in wrongdoing; bankers do. As Comptroller Tom Curry says, the approach to this problem is not to call in more lawyers, "It is more like a priest-penitent relationship."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 22px;">

The book features essays by many prominent people, including Michael Moore, Angela Davis, Frances Fox Piven, Martín Espada, Rick Wolff and Democracy Now! co-host Juan González. The book comes out at a time when polls show Americans aged 18 to 29 have a more favorable reaction to the word "socialism" than "capitalism." The book is co-edited by the legendary book agent Frances Goldin, who has worked in the publishing world for more than six decades and will turn 90 years old in June. In 1951 at age 27, Goldin ran for New York State Senate on an American Labor Party slate headed by W.E.B. Du Bois. Goldin joins us now along with one of her co-editors, Michael Smith.

Research is discovering that certain ENP’s may be toxic and extremely harmful to human health, causing cell and <a href="http://www.wakingtimes.com/2013/01/23/common-modern-foods-which-cause-dna-damage/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">DNA damage</a>, potentially leading to the development of cancers.<br /><br />Nano-particles are microscopically sized particles with at least one dimension less than 100 nano-meters (nm). To put this in perspective, a sheet of paper is about 100,000 nm thick, and a strand of<a href="http://www.wakingtimes.com/2014/03/05/reprogram-dna-heal-ourselves-frequency-vibration-energy/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">human DNA</a> is about 2.5 nm thick. A current trend in research and development, ENP’s are generating widespread interest for their potential to enhance consumer materials and food products, and for their potential applications in the electronic, optical and biomedical fields. “Nanoparticles are of great scientific interest as they are effectively a bridge between bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures.” [<a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/n/nanoparticle.htm" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">1</a>]<br /><br />In the marketplace, nano-particles <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Our-Chemical-Lives-And-Hijacking/dp/1439255369/ref=as_li_tf_sw?&linkCode=wsw&tag=permacultucom-20" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">can be found</a> in sunscreens, toys, clothing, food, drugs, candy, cosmetics, ceramics, paints, and many other common products, and are already an ubiquitous part of our toxic consumer environment. Some food activists have already called attention to the dangers of the commonly used nano-particle <a href="http://www.wakingtimes.com/2013/05/13/avoid-100-dangerous-food-additives-causing-adhd-asthma-and-cancer/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">titanium dioxide</a>, noting that the “form of the common ‘whitening’ agent known as titanium dioxide is capable of inducing “tumor-like” changes in exposed human cells.” [<a href="http://www.wakingtimes.com/2013/09/25/food-industry-poisoning-us-trillions-nanoparticles/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">2</a>]<br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></span><blockquote class="tr_bq">

Now, some municipalities are outlawing living in cars and other vehicles.</div>

People who live in cars are one step above the penury of complete homelessness. Denying them the shelter that an automobile provides is another cruel step in the war against people without economic means. Such actions give the term "the war on poverty" a whole new perspective: punishment for not having enough money to afford increasing rents.</div>

The growing war on car dwellers is featured in an April 8 article in The Wall Street Journal: <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303847804579479930243974564?mod=WSJ_hpp_MIDDLENexttoWhatsNewsTop&mg=reno64-wsj&url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303847804579479930243974564.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_MIDDLENexttoWha" style="color: #385ba4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">"Homeless Lose a Longtime Last Resort: Living in a Car: Cities in Silicon Valley, Elsewhere Crack Down on Vehicle Dwellers Driven Out of Apartments by Rents."</a></div>

Nearly 70 cities are considering such crackdowns on people whose vehicles have become their homes, according to the Journal:</div>

For months now, Mr. Smith [a former information technology specialist] has feared he might lose his current home, which is stationed on a street near a quiet Palo Alto park. An ordinance passed by Palo Alto last year would punish people cited for living in a vehicle with as much as a $1,000 fine or six months in jail.</div>

"You're at risk of losing everything," Mr. Smith said recently. "It's a weird feeling that until you've lived this way, you don't realize what it's like."</div>

For the moment, the city has delayed enforcing the ban while the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals considers a challenge to a similar law in Los Angeles. A decision is expected in the next few months and could affect similar laws in cities including nearby San Jose and Santa Clara.</div>
