       Agelbert NOTE:20 years!!!? That's it!!? I know it's REAL HARD
       for some here to do the "appropriate punishment" math, but TRY
       to imagine what a Black man would get for SHOOTING at an unarmed
       BUILDING, let alone another human being....
       Still don't get it? Look at the charges. It's a SET UP to keep
       the punishment low. When they want to SCREW SOMEONE (i.e. a
       Black man), the charges involve a grievous felony (i.e.
       Manslaughter or attempted murder).  The charge of Assault and
       battery of a high and aggravated nature is a way to MINIMIZE the
       maximum sentence!
       Never mind.

       ericlewis  From The Washington Post:
       In the largest settlement with a single American Indian tribe,
       the Obama administration will pay the Navajo Nation $554 million
       to settle claims that the U.S. government has mismanaged funds
       and natural resources on the Navajo reservation for decades.
       The settlement, to be signed in Window Rock, Ariz., on Friday,
       resolves a long-standing dispute between the Navajo Nation and
       the U.S. government, with some of the claims dating back more
       than 50 years.
       ...
       “This landmark resolution ends protracted and burdensome
       litigation,” Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a
       statement provided to The Washington Post on Wednesday. “This
       demonstrates the Justice Department’s firm commitment to
       strengthening our partnerships with tribal nations.”
       ...
       “The Navajo Nation has worked tirelessly for many years to bring
       this issue to a close,” said Ben Shelly, president of the Navajo
       Nation. “After a long, hard-won process, I am pleased that we
       have finally come to a resolution on this matter to receive fair
       and just compensation for the Navajo Nation.” ...

       [move]Grand jury considering the Ferguson shooting is being
       investigated for misconduct[/move]
       The St. Louis County prosecutor’s office is investigating an
       accusation of misconduct on the grand jury that is hearing the
       case against the Ferguson Police Officer who shot and killed
       18-year-old Michael Brown.
       Ed Magee, the spokesman for county prosecutor, Robert McCulloch
  HTML http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9HT4xZyDmh4/TOHhxzA0wLI/AAAAAAAAEUk/oeHDS2cfxWQ/s200/Smiley_Angel_Wings_Halo.jpg,<br
       />said they received the information from a “Twitter user”
       Wednesday morning.
       “We are looking into the matter,”  ::) he said.
       An account of possible jury misconduct surfaced Wednesday
       morning on Twitter, when several users sent messages about one
       juror who may have discussed evidence in the case with a friend.
       In one of those messages, a person tweeted that they are friends
       with a member of the jury who doesn’t believe there is enough
       evidence
  HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714191329.bmp<br
       />to warrant an arrest of the officer, Darren Wilson.
       The same person who tweeted about being friends with a member of
       the jury has also tweeted messages of support for Wilson.
       Magee confirmed that the Twitter user and feed came from an
       activist, Shaun King.
       Within seconds of posting this, her friends told her to delete
       it and she did. It was screenshotted first.
       pic.twitter.com/b6kTf9p40h  :emthup: :icon_mrgreen:
       The jury has been weighing evidence on the case since Aug. 20,
       within days of the Aug. 9 shooting. McCulloch told The
       Washington Post last week that both the FBI and county police’s
       investigations into the shooting are “pretty much done.” He also
       said that jurors should be done hearing all the evidence by
       later this month, but they could meet through mid-November.
       Grand jury proceedings are confidential and if there has been a
       breach, the prosecutor’s office may have to start over with a
       newly empaneled group.

       Arizona Teacher Fired for Breaking up Racist Bullying of 4th

       attribution: Arizona teacher fired after defending student from
       bullying [KNXV-TV]
       25 year veteran Elementary Teacher Pam Aister was fired this
       week by the Fountain Hills Arizona School District after
       breaking up an incident of Racial Bullying by Four Students
       against one other.
       “He was called the n-word, ‘monkey’, and ‘coon,’ Aister told
       KNXV.
       
       Ainster told KTAR-FM that she also said to the group, “If you’re
       picking on him, you’re picking on me. It’s not five against one,
       it’s five against two, and there will be no more taunting,
       teasing or racial names.”

       />
       But parents of the alleged offenders claim that Ainster used
       abusive language telling them to "shut up"  ::) and that one had
       an "ugly face", an allegation that Ainster denies.  In the end
       the School Board, following the recommendation of their
       attorney, voted to terminate Ainster on the basis of reports
       from the parents.
       Isn't it an interesting world, assuming Ainster's claims are
       essentially true and even that the counter claims against her
       are valid, where a pack of bigoted bullies can rely on their
       parents to protect and escalate their bullying in order to
       remove a teacher whose primary crime was to stand up against
       their racist taunting - even if somewhat vehemently - in order
       to protect and defend a vulnerable child?
       How would you hope the teacher of your children would react in
       this situation?

       12:35 PM PT: What I'm hearing vis Kosmessage is that this area
       is on top of being predominantly white, is also dominated by
       Hard Core Tea Party Politiics.
       David Schweikert is the congressman in this district.  He beat
       former congressman Ben Quayle in the republican primary in 2012
       largely due to overwhelming support from his hometown of
       Fountain Hills, where there is a very active tea party group.
       Schweikert is so right wing, he was one of a handful of
       republican reps (along with Huelskamp and Amish) removed from
       key committees by Boehner as punishment for being a pain in the
       a$$ to house leadership.  That gives you an idea of how
       reactionary and right wing a lot of the people are there.
       So that's something.
       12:55 PM PT: CBS 5 - KPHO
       2:13 PM PT: The School Board Report claims this wasn't the
       first incident where Ms Ainster was "rude" to some of the white
       children,  ::) and even casts doubt that the initial incident
       was "racial"
  HTML http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/...<br
       />(Although it should be noted that the bullied student, in one
       of
       the above reports, completely verifies Ms. Ainster's account,
       could this report itself be biased?  Hard to tell.)

  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/301.gif
       'Dear White Racists' is One of the Best Explanations of White
       Privilege You Will Likely Ever Read
       Dear white racists and your fragile fee-fees:
       Relax, I'm white, too. Look, I can do the secret handshake and
       nudge-nudge, wink-wink. Lemme whitesplain something to you,
       fellow white men: no one buys your bullshit.
       That's because your bullshit runs like this: For historically-
       and presently-oppressed black people to be treated decently,
       they must carefully avoid doing anything that could be remotely
       twisted into behaving like a white racist, even if you're
       squinting and looking at it from five hundred meters away in a
       thick fog. Because that would be racist, and therefore
       hypocritical, and if that's the case, they deserve to continue
       to be oppressed.
       Here's the thing you thick-headed assholes totally fail to get:
       NO ONE DESERVES TO BE OPPRESSED, PERIOD. You can talk all you
       want about how it's okay for black people to be mistreated if---
       but get this, there is no "if". It's not okay, ever. That's why
       we call it mistreatment. Your error is to think that it's ever
       justified, and your active misdeed is to constantly search for a
       justification. Black people, collectively, are not guilty of
       anything. In fact, a basic principle of civil society is that we
       reject the notion of collective guilt.
       Some individual black people, like individual white people, have
       done bad things, and in those cases, may deserve judicial
       punishments. But even those people don't deserve mistreatment
       from some random white guy on the street. And black people in
       general don't owe anyone anything as a prerequisite for being
       treated decently. No one does.
       Now I know there are a bunch of you in the back of the room
       waving your hand and getting ready to launch the argument that
       it's racist to complain about white privilege. No, it is not.
       Complaining about white privilege is not the same as assigning
       collective guilt to white people. White privilege is a pervasive
       feature of our society and our legal system. It's hard to see if
       you're white (and you're not looking or actively trying not to
       look), but it is real, it is powerfully destructive, and if
       global warming had the kind of statistical support that evidence
       of white privilege has, Bill O'Reilly would be haranguing FOX
       News viewers to install solar panels.
       And here's the subtle point that you folks either can't or won't
       grasp. White privilege is especially the responsibility of white
       people to fix, not because we're all racist schlubs like you
       are, but because white privilege itself means that we're the
       ones who have the power to change it.
       Black people don't have that power, again because of white
       privilege, and not because they aren't sufficiently careful in
       the way they phrase their complaints about being mistreated.
       It's our problem and our responsibility as white people to fix
       not because whites are collectively guilty, but because it is
       the responsibility of ALL PEOPLE to fight for decent treatment
       for ALL PEOPLE. It just happens that, because of our shithead
       ancestors and a helping handful of historical accident, we white
       people are the ones who can do something about it. When the
       finger on the trigger is white, it's pointless to ask a black
       guy to lower the gun.
       And quite frankly, given all the shit that our black fellow
       citizens have put up with, and all the shit they have to deal
       with every. fucking. day., if some of them lose their tempers
       and say things that aren't carefully calibrated to kiss your
       privileged, hypersensitive asses, well, is that actually
       surprising? You lose your minds when black people just complain
       verbally about being kicked. Imagine how tough it would be for
       you to keep your cool if someone was actually doing something to
       you instead of just talking.
       Finally, yes, I know this is pointless. You want to be offended
       to fluff your fragile egos, and you want black people to please
       shut the fuck up and stop harshing your mellow.  ;D I hate to
       break it to you, but as long as people are being murdered by the
       state, given draconian sentences for crimes that in many cases
       they haven't even committed, and being held in poverty and
       privation and a constant state of fear, those of us who actually
       give a shit about our fellow citizens are going, at the very
       least, to make some noise about it.
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/47b20s0.gif
       In the meantime, if you can't be bothered to do your duty as an
       American to protect your fellow Americans with the considerable
       power at your disposal, at least shut the fuck up and stop
       making an ass of yourself.

       Ashvin (since you just pointed out that you are technically
       under arrest if the police are detaining you and must charge you
       or release you if not - hence the fact that a law savvy person
       asks, "Am I free to do?" - No arrest means you ARE free to go,
       period),
       Watch this video of an educated, law savvy African American
       Woman get fired on by the New Mexico Highway Patrol. White
       racists will say it was her fault (as usual  ::)). But the point
       is that ALL the cop had to do was NOTE the fact that she would
       not sign, take her license plate number and let her go. She KEPT
       asking if she was free to go. The cop kept saying NO. This was a
       civil, not a criminal law area. the cop was SUPPOSED to let her
       go when she would not sign.
       Eventually she just took off. The cop that fired on her and her
       kids was eventually fired BUT he was NOT charged with attempted
       manslaughter, attempted murder, aggravated assault, etc. Imagine
       if this had been a WHITE person fired on by a Black officer!!!
       And by the way, this woman is a FANTASTIC driver! She handled
       that van like a PRO!

       Bro, she definitely was not "law savvy" LOL. The passenger (her
       son?) was not either.

       is that ALL the cop had to do was NOTE the fact that she would
       not sign, take her license plate number and let her go. She KEPT
       asking if she was free to go. The cop kept saying NO. This was a
       civil, not a criminal law area. the cop was SUPPOSED to let her
       go when she would not sign.

       Technically, traffic violations are criminal. And when she drove
       off the first time, she gave the officer more than enough
       probable cause to make an arrest, and probably enough for a
       search of her vehicle.
       And obviously when the son came out and assaulted the officer,
       that made it a very serious criminal matter.
       Basically, driving away after the officer pulls you over and
       before he lets you go is not lawful and will rarely end well...

       You're 100% right about this. The cop firing his gun should have
       been fired AND charged with at least agg assault. This was a
       clearly a situation in which deadly force was not needed for any
       legitimate reason. Cops are not held to the same legal standard
       most citizens are, especially white cops dealing with minority
       suspects, which can make them very dangerous.

       He just did his best to ridicule my position as some "Anthony's
       world" never-neverland.  :evil4:
       
       A traffic stop may be technically part of "criminal" law BECAUSE
       it's not a law suit in the CIVIL law area but speeding is STILL
       a misdemeanor offense so low on the legal totem pole that it
       doesn't STAY on your rap sheet after a period of time. THAT was
       the SITUATION when the COP stopped her. The COP created the
       negative situation by IGNORING the LAW.  You CAN claim that when
       she drove off she gave probable cause to use force  (open her
       door and pull her out of the vehicle - assaulting her in the
       process) and you would be WRONG again.
       Take a deep breath, counselor. Who is in charge of exacerbating
       the situation here, the driver, her son or the cop? WHY did the
       cop INSIST that she sign the ticket when she had NO LEGAL
       OBLIGATION to sign it, OVER and OVER again.
       Sure, if I had been her, I would have said that I will not sign
       the ticket and, rather than asking if I was free to go (although
       that WAS a law savvy question, regardless of what you said), I
       would ask, OVER and OVER, if I was under arrest until I was
       released or jailed with some trumped up charge of "creating a
       disturbance" or whatever.
       MKing's playing a game here (and you've fallen for it
  HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-141113183729.png<br
       />with his "Anthony's world" BULLSHIT. Notice he uses my first
       name when he has NEVER used his. That's his "friendly" way of
       saying that HE KNOWS WHO I AM AND WHERE I LIVE. I've gotten that
       from a few "friendly" Vermonters too. They look at you, smile,
       then say, "I know where you live".  :evil4: Bring it on MKing.
       Boo!    8)
       I'll dig up the trial proceedings if you want. Her son? Are you
       kidding me? He's a MINOR! I never said anything about him being
       law savvy. Did you watch the video? The driver CLEARLY stated
       she DID NOT want to sign the ticket OVER and OVER. She was
       WITHIN HER RIGHTS to say that. She was doing 70 in a 50 mph
       zone! Are you going to tell me the cop could DEMAND that she
       sign if she refused to sign the ticket? BULL S H I T !
       Did you see the cop's body language when he got out of the car
       the second time? Are you BLIND? He KNEW they were unarmed. He
       had INTENT to use FORCE because somebody drives off without
       SIGNING A TICKET!!!? Are you all right, Ashvin?
       These people were UNARMED and the cop pulls a GUN on a teenaged
       boy when the cop is assaulting his mother! Are you all right,
       Ashvin!!? The mother was screaming at her son to get in the car.
       He was just a kid trying to defend his UNARMED mom!
       And she was supposed to just SIT there while the cops are
       smashing the side door? Are you all right, Ashvin?
       I cannot believe you came up with this analysis. We will have to
       agree to disagree. The point neither you or Mking want to see
       which IS considered in ALL Criminal Court proceedings is INTENT
       (as in MENS REA).
       That cop KNOWS exactly where the line is. The INSTANT an
       uncooperative citizen began to argue about signing a speeding
       ticket, he HAD to let her GO. He DELIBERATELY used his power,
       authority and WEAPON to attempt to force a signature. The fact
       that you believe he was in his rights is sad. He wasn't.
       At THAT POINT, he was NO LONGER acting as a police officer but
       as a DICTATOR. The LAW was on HER side from then on.
       But with encroaching fascism, what those cops did to that lady
       WILL become "normal" whenever they want to do it without even
       the uncooperative driver excuse. And I'm sad to say, with all
       the hair splitting you came up with, all I can say is

       Ashvin, you are missing the point. In Anthony's world, there is
       nothing that a police office can do to a civilian of color that
       isn't racist. Can't wink at them, can't bust them for speeding,
       nothing, and ANYTHING that the poor oppressed minority does is
       just all good clean normal activity, like in the example
       provided, OBVIOUSLY the cops were  just to supposed to not do
       their job, not notice being assaulted (after all, it was whiteys
       fault for slavery 100 years ago and therefore the rules are
       different because of what the great-great grandparents of those
       people suffered).
       Of course it is a serious matter. Just like when Brown reached
       in through that cop car window and did...something. Or Trayvon
       Martin decided to bash someone's head against the sidewalk. Or
       Sharpton claimed that this young lady had been raped by a bunch
       of white guys...except...she hadn't...but to Anthony, FACTS
       don't matter...if it involves a white person (or Peruvian), and
       some African American person, the white person is racist and the
       minority person is oppressed and all laws should be suspended
       because...just because...
       It doesn't have to make sense in his world. It doesn't make
       sense in your world, or mine. Or anyone else's. Only Anthony.
       [/quote]
       The son did not assault the officer, he had a gun pointed at him
       as soon as he got out of the car, although what else to expect
       where anyone could be armed any time. The officer never acted as
       though the driver may have been armed talking and struggling
       with the woman. Typically the officer was very very patient and
       willing to cut a break with a tall slim MILF, but zero patience
       with the male. Before she went to drive off the second time he
       decided to go to the rear passenger side and work on smashing
       the sons window rather than the drivers side front to stop her
       driving off.
       The officer while very patient seemed to have a problem with
       stating clearly she was under arrest. Saying "that means what
       youre saying to me is you want to see a judge right away, and I
       can arrange that, wait there", is not the same as "YOu are under
       arrest", neither is "just come out here.......no, no
       tricks....just turn around" .
       You see the son get out and stand close to the officer
       struggling with the woman on the busy road for a second before
       backing off, with his back to the camera. Good enough to call
       assault for Ashvin and MKing.
       Zimmerman was seen under arrest straight after the incident on
       camera from the front, side and back all clearly unmarked, and
       the coroner stated there was no sign of struggle on martins
       body. That's the evidence, however the claim by Zimmerman that
       he was having his head bashed on the ground without losing
       consciousness or leaving an injury trumped that.
       MKing previously said he wanted to wait and see before coming to
       any conclusions about Brown in Ferguson now he's reached a
       conclusion that he reached into the car for some reason. It
       seems to me it doesn't matter what the evidence is ever, since
       Ruben Hurricane Carter and Rodney King and the slaves were
       freed, fearful folks needed to be reassured.
       [/quote]
       Thank you, UB.
       The instant the cop refused to release the woman without a
       charge (conditio iuris) to justify said arrest, he stopped being
       a law enforcement officer and started being a dictator.  The LAW
       was technically on HER side at that point. The fact that she
       drove off the first time means she knew that. THEN when the
       DICTATOR assaulted HER (you saw his body language when he got
       out of the car at the second stop), the cop was using force
       outside the law. THAT is assault AND battery. THEN, a minor who
       obviously doesn't know shit about the law and is just trying to
       protect his mom (I NEVER said the minor was "law savvy!" - I
       don't know what caused Ashvin to assume incorrectly that I said
       that.) tries to STOP the assault and THAT is considered an
       assault!!!? Then the cop pulls a GUN on an unarmed MINOR because
       said MINOR was interfering with the cop's illegal assault and
       battery. The mom screams at her son to get in the car because
       she KNOWS that cop is itching to pull the trigger on her son.
       THEN the cop proceeds to vandalized the vehicle, recklessly
       endangering the MINOR occupants in the process based on WHAT?
       That the minor backed AWAY from a GUN pointed at him and got in
       the vehicle!!!?
       I am sure the court proceedings will reveal all the above as an
       objective analysis. The cops may be given a lot of latitude
       under our fucked up system, but they are under the SAME laws as
       we are. Yes, in a fascist state where some citizens have greater
       protection under the winken, blinken and nod racist modus
       operandi than others, that "latitude" CAN turn into looking the
       other way while a cop goes berserk. But that does not mean, by
       any stretch of hair splitting legalese, that the cop was NOT
       acting unlawfully LONG before a bullet was fired at the vehicle!
       Ashvin, if you still insist on your position, we will have to
       agree to disagree. If this cop's behavior is "lawful" when he
       refused to let that uncooperative driver who refused to sign the
       ticket go (saying she was NOT FREE TO GO), then all I can say
       what Tacitus said long ago: Corruptissima re publica plurimae
       leges. The greater the degeneration of the republic, the more of
       its laws.

       I KNOW all about YOUR world, pal! I had a friend from Indiana
       (as white as they come with blue eyes who's last name is
       Robeson) that worked as an electrician on ocean oil platform
       rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and one off of Brazil for years. You
       are full of shit, MKing, and you know it. That's why you use the
       above fallacious debating technique of extrapolating the extreme
       example without DARING to discuss the merits of the example I
       presented. HELLO? It was Ashvin that tried to EDUCATE you about
       what being TECHNICALLY UNDER ARREST is and what isn't. Those
       cops DID NOT do their job and you fucking know it. But it's
       rather entertaining to watch you bob and weave. HELLO? When you
       are NOT under arrest, you are free to go. Play your fucking word
       games with someone else, pal.
       Tell me, have you ever heard the expression "Jungle bunny"? Oh,
       of course not. LOL!
       Ken told me ALL ABOUT "how it works" for pay (the COLOR pecking
       order of pay) on those rigs. Go ahead and deny it. That's your
       thing. That's your predatory, dog eat dog, fucking world where
       the mark is NEVER supposed to know he is being suckered, abused
       or whatever and you go around pretending you have a shred of
       ethics.
       Ken lived in Texas. He explained "how it works" with blacks and
       Hispanics there too...
       You talk a good game. And you play a rough game. I've got your
       number and so do many here.
       Back to the ocean oil rig platform, the only cool thing about it
       was that he was once several miles off the coast of Brazil over
       a promising salt dome and several thousand HUGE moths parked on
       the rig for a couple of days before moving on. Ken wondered
       where the fuck those moths came from so far out to see. IT seems
       they can fly a lot better than it says in the biology books. But
       I'm certain they were pleased to see that ugly thing sticking
       out of the ocean that they could rest on. So thank you, fossil
       fueler, for giving the moths a place to rest while your pals
       "did what you do". That's another propaganda point that you can
       throw at people along with the "oil rigs provide habitat for
       fish" BULLSHIT. :evil4:
       So have fun trying to flip the racist meme on me. That's an old
       and rather tired RACIST trick. LOL!

       You can speculate that might be true, but evidence doesn't bear
       that out.
       While there are numerous video examples of White on Black
       egregious Police behavior out there on You Tube, there are none
       I know of of egregious White on White or Black on White
       egregious behaviors.  Given the White population is much larger,
