Police State

NSA spying and lies.
"Now we know that Alexander has lied yet again to a congressional committee. He recently acknowledged that the number of plots foiled is not the stated-under-oath 54, but is either two or three. He won’t say which two or three or how spying on every American was the only lawful or constitutional way to uncover these plots. He also won’t say why he originally said 54, instead of two or three; but he did say last week that he will retire next spring.
This is maddening. The government breaks the law it has been hired to enforce and violates the Constitution its agents have sworn to uphold; it gets caught and lies about it; and no one in government is punished or changes his behavior."
Not maddening. Business as usual.

Cops are serial dog killers.

Former CIA and NSA director Hayden gives interview on Amtrak train that is overheard by fellow passenger who live-tweets about the interview. And this guy is supposed to be one of government's great secret keepers. He's supposed to keep us safe and keep the information he obtains by spying on us secret.

Dallas cop fired and arrested for shooting a man carrying a knife because he claimed the man threatened an lunged at him but a video showed the man did not lunge at him. Wow. This is extremely unusual.
