What better way to have a morning coffee, than to do it to a video of Mos Def getting forced fed like one of the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, many are not even guilty of a crime, all are getting tortured in horrible conditions everyday because anything goes in Guantanamo, shit’s off American soil… I am all for the protests to close this facility down…and I guess so is Mos Def, and he’s doing something awesome to get it out there. UPDATE – Here are a couple young girls getting the Mos Def Feeding Tube without the theatrics…but Guantanamo Bay, despite its cool name, is still trouble…
One officer was fired and another quit after a rural Georgia woman who called police to complain of a prowler was zapped repeatedly with a stun gun. Ryan Smith of the Lumpkin Police Department has resigned and Tim Murphy, of Richland Police Department, was fired for using pepper spray on the woman, Janice Wells. Wells, 57, says she feared a prowler was outside her Richland house. A minute-long dashboard video from Smith's patrol car shows the officer pulling up to assist another officer. What happens is largely hidden by an open police cruiser door, but Wells can be heard screaming “Don't do that! Don't do that!” as a stun gun is heard repeatedly zapping. Authorities say the April 26 struggle began when Wells wouldn't tell police the name of an acquaintance who had been at her house. Lumpkin Police Chief Steven Ogle says the video is shocking. http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0713/2-ga-officers-stun-gun-video-surfaces/ added by: treewolf39
Last week, a black gentleman named Kenneth Gladney went to a town-hall meeting hosted by Rep. Russ Carnahan, Missouri Democrat. While passing out “Don't Tread on Me” flags, he was viciously attacked by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) members. One called him a “nigger.” These union thugs were directed by the White House to go to the protests and “punch back twice as hard.” And they did. While the attack was captured on video and is available on YouTube, Mr. Gladney's horrifying story is absent from MSNBC's 24/7 media cycle. Mr. Krugman has yet to write about it. And Mr. Cooper has yet to condemn the attack. added by: itchywolf
