Publishing a blog like The Duck Shoot it is inevitable that I find stories of shocking, unbelievable cruelty. This one about the ‘honour’ killing of a 16 year old girl left me almost devoid of words. The excuse that this is a culture thing is just not acceptable. In this case the torture and murder of [...] Veterans are standing with musicians, including Trent Reznor, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne, Rise Against, Rosanne Cash, Billy Bragg and the Roots and joined the National Campaign to Close Guantanamo. I am dumbfounded at the sheer depravity of US cops. This story takes the already unbelievable to the lowest ebb of credibility with regard to police behaviour . What the fuck is going on in the US of America? When are the authorities going to put a stop to this brutality? Cops in Tennessee arrest a guy wanted on a domestic violence charge. He gets out of the car with his hands raised but they allow a police dog to attack him and then they plant drugs on the him. As you see from the video Mr Dziekanski couldn’t speak English and another news report quotes a witness as saying he told the cops this. Despite knowing it they gave him instructions in English and expected him to comply. Police said the officer used a Taser on Mallory, but the suspect attacked him and knocked him to the pavement. During the struggle, the officer shot Mallory. WHAT’S THE LAW? Since when has it been a capital offense to hit a police officer? An offense yes but a death sentence? It is quite evident here that Ms Williams, a black woman who lives in a poor area, is regarded as trash by the racist cops. Again and again we see disadvantaged people treated as nothing by the authorities. And it’s happening more and more in the so-called ‘Land of the Free’. Relatives say the police used excessive force just to quiet down the backyard party. The home-owner Edgar Rodriguez, says the celebration came to an abrupt halt when his 55-year-old father, Edgar Rodriguez, Sr. was asked for an ID. But Rodriguez Sr. doesn’t speak English. His son had to interpret for him in the above news video. So there’s a good chance he didn’t understand what the cops were asking. He handed it over and the cops Tasered him three times. |
