Busted! Police officer caught on his own body camera 'planting drugs at the scene of a crime to incriminate a defendant' [More]

And so much for this filth being an anomaly, with his partners being there from the start and the department continuing to put him on the stand after they knew.

A few of the comment posters certainly appear to be "good Germans."

He pled guilty on a resisting charge because it was the least life-threatening option, even though he had every right to resist with lethal force. And what kind of psychopath must the Staten Island DA be?

Every once in a while I come across something that makes me question my instinctive opposition to public crucifixions.

Think of the type of total evil creature who would do something like this, and what else he'd willingly -- even enthusiastically -- do.

We're the Only Ones Planting Enough

Chicago Police are accused of offering a crooked "get out of jail free" card. The catch? A woman says she was told to plant a gun for it. Now the city has paid her $50,000 in a settlement, and the cops have been suspended without pay. CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot explains. [More]

That's strange...since when don't "Authorized Journalists" tell us the names of "the officers"...?

That was a joke and I know it's not particularly funny.

Besides, maybe these particular "Only Ones" have more than 10 complaints against them, which invokes an extra-special level of privacy for their public acts.

Why?

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

And the cops are absolutely responsible for what their lickspittle does on their behalf.

Always have it on record that you do not consent to a search and that you will not say anything without counsel. It also doesn't hurt to make your first move on being pulled over to set your phone to record and upload.

We're the Only Ones Tipped Off Enough

The police told us they had a tip about George but what we soon discovered was the tip to the police came from the Capitol police itself. [Watch]

That's been one of my concerns about snitch programs:

What if you’re a cop and getting a warrant might prove problematic? (It's not like we haven't seen prominent warrant “workarounds” at the highest law enforcement levels recently.) Calling in a tip could reduce a lot of red tape. (And it’s not like corruption up to and including planting guns is unheard of, even in cities with a “Crime Stoppers gun bounty” program.)

The guy handled himself well enough, but as a rule, there's a more advisable way.

I Could Not Raise Money this Way

Sorry, but this just isn't very good -- from the phony forced announcer voice to the breathless narrative, to no compelling story, to stock photos and a script overlay instead of interesting visuals ...  [Watch]

If gun groups are going to compete in this realm, they need to understand that the Bloomberg machine employs the finest professional illusionists money can buy. That shows in the production value quality of the work and the elegant simplicity of the propaganda they're planting in viewer's minds. Forget they're spinning fantasies and lies -- what successful commercials don't?

This screams "on the cheap" because it's obviously targeted solely at a relied-upon segment of gun owners under the same philosophy as hysterical list "fax blast" emails and the like -- while most will ignore it, enough will respond with a donation to make the effort pay off.

The other thing that irritated me enough to comment was this bit of breathless and offensive hyperbole:

If Obama follows through with his executive fiat now, it will lead to the loss of our Second Amendment rights by the time he leaves office. 

That is just crap.  No it will not either. Stop talking to gun owners like they're a bunch of goddamn cowardly idiots who will give up as readily as you apparently will.

Stop distracting them from their birthright and the level of commitment it will take to keep it.
