Police State

The Texas shooting announcement on Twitter shows the problem with mass spying. Spooks are too busy building bigger haystacks to monitor the real threats. He sent multiple Twitter messages. More.
"Both Simpson and his purported accomplice in the Garland shooting, Nadir Soofi, were killed shortly after they opened fire outside an event that was displaying cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. Though armed with assault weapons and some kind of body armor, the pair was killed by a traffic policeman using a service pistol before they could take any lives, local police said. "
That's amazing, if true. The FBI was actively investigating this guy. They say he was inspired by ISIS, but it sounds like he was radicalized by the US police state. More on Twitter trail.

FBI claims it couldn't follow shooter's tweets because there's so many like him. Of course.

Feds flew surveillance flights over Baltimore for several nights after the riots.

Seattle police corruption exposed.
"Among some of Rachner and Mocek's findings: a total of 1,028 SPD employees (including civilian employees) were investigated between 2010 and 2013. (The current number of total SPD staff is 1,820.) Of the 11 most-investigated employees—one was investigated 18 times during the three-year period—every single one of them is still on the force, according to SPD. In 569 allegations of excessive or inappropriate use of force (arising from 363 incidents), only seven were sustained—meaning 99 percent of cases were dismissed. Exoneration rates were only slightly smaller when looking at all the cases — of the total 2,232 allegations, 284 were sustained."
Every department is this bad.

Canadian town makes it illegal to insult police and government officials online.

France passes sweeping spy bill.

Cops are more likely to be struck by lightning than to be held financially accountable for their actions. This shows how special protections for police are institutionalized.
