________________________________________________________________________________
Do you realize WHAT this office does? No? Ok lets discuss that.The office is basically in charge of anything we ingest. Think about what goes in your mouth daily. Food and drink, of course, but also tobacco, chew, medicine, that honey syrup ( OH WAIT NOT THE HONEY, BUT THE BEES),and more.
On top of that they make sure you get the 1 gallon of whatever you just paid your money for. IOW, the gas at 2.48 a gallon is actually 1 gallon being dispersed. Not .9 of that gallon. Also they set the rules for farmer's markets.
As I said anything we ingest, so along with the food is the pesticides too. The decide if your XYC pesticide is useful for XYC bug or whatever, and then tell you how you can sell it inside the confines of Mississippi.
They do so many more things but I dont have an hour to talk sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo........

Donate a Testicle The payout for this is $35,000 » Plus Feed
Donate your reproductive cells. The payout for eggs is $5,000-$10,000 per donation. The payout for sperm is $30-$200 per donation.
Egg donor agencies allow women whose ovaries do not produce healthy eggs to become pregnant using another woman’s eggs through IVF. In the United States egg donors can receive anywhere from $5000-$10,000 per donation from egg donor agencies. Men can donate their sperm to sperm donor banks with a much easier process and also a bit less lucrative than an egg donation. Men are paid anywhere from $30-$200 per human cell donation. However that can add up to more in the pocket because men can donate hundreds of sperm samples
On a episode of “Extreme Cheapskates “a Las Vegas man figured out a way to make some money by signing up for medical trials. He saved himself more than $750. That inspired him to take it one step further. Most recently he also agreed to donate one of his testicles. But they didn’t just leave him hanging. They replaced it with an artificial one and paid him $35,000. It was reported that he used the money to purchase a Nissan 370 Z.

Rachel Dolezal speaks on TODAY Show to Matt Lauer after NAACP resignation - TODAY.com
Rachel Dolezal, the former NAACP chapter president accused of pretending to be black, tells TODAY's Matt Lauer in an exclusive live interview that she identifies as black — something she started doing at the age of five.
"I was drawing self-portraits with the brown crayon instead of the peach crayon, and black curly hair," she told Lauer. But she insisted she never deceived anyone as numerous critics have suggested.
"I do take exception to that because it's a little more complex than me identifying as black or answering a question of, are you black or white?" she said.

Mullen noted at a 7 a.m. media briefing that authorities do not know where suspect is.
“This person is dangerous,” said Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley (D). “We need every tip we can get to bring this person into custody as soon as possible, and of course will make sure that he pays the price for this horrible act.”
At a nearby Embassy Suites, which was serving as an informal headquarters for church members, people began sobbing and screaming as they learned details about what had happened. “It was a heartbreaking scene I have never witnessed in my life before,” said Reily, the city’s longtime mayor.
Six females and three males were killed, police said.

Legalizing Weed: 3 Quotes From Lawmakers After Pot Became Decriminalized in Mississippi
Legalizing Weed: 3 Quotes From Lawmakers After Pot Became Decriminalized in Mississippi
Mississippi is one of the 19 states that have decriminalized personal possession of weed. The first offense for possession of 30 grams, which is a little more than an ounce, results in a $250 fine instead of jail time.
Anything more, however, is considered a felony offense. But efforts are under way to change and legalize weed in Mississippi.
In 2014, the state joined others and passed laws allowing for the medicinal use of marijuana, specifically possession of oil derivatives in certain medical cases. Voters are also working to take measures into their own hands in 2015.
Urgent: Should Marijuana Be Legalized in All States?
The Mississippi Alliance for Cannabis is currently working on collecting signatures to get a measure on the ballot that would allow voters to make the choice on whether to legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana for adults.

12 Reasons America Doesn’t Win Its Wars | The American Conservative
12 Reasons America Doesn’t Win Its Wars | The American Conservative
America doesn’t “win” its wars, because winning a war is secondary to other goals in our war making. Winning or losing has little immediate consequence for the United States, because the wars we start, Wars of Choice, are not of vital national interest; losing doesn’t mean getting invaded or our cities being destroyed. The following are some of the interests Washington has in not winning, reasons for our unending wars.

Country's Police Depts Launch Summer Ticketing Blitzkriegs
Country's Police Depts Launch Summer Ticketing Blitzkriegs
For the second time this year, police in Fort Smith, Arkansas have launched Operation Seeing Red.
The 3-week long operation is geared towards monitoring intersections to catch drivers who are speeding through red lights and disobeying traffic laws.
Police say although they plan on watching certain intersections where accidents are more common, drivers should expect to be cited on any street in the city at any time.
Fort Smith Sgt. Daniel Grubbs said that hundreds of tickets were written out to drivers during the first operation in February, resulting in 10s of thousands of dollars in extra revenue for the city.
Grubbs says no warnings will be issued by officers during the enforcement period.
OPM Hackers Stole Data on Every Federal Employee - NationalJournal.com
OPM Hackers Stole Data on Every Federal Employee - NationalJournal.com
The hackers who infiltrated the Office of Personnel Management last year swiped the personal information of every federal employee working in government, a number potentially far greater than the 4 million previously reported, according to a labor union of government workers.
In a letter sent to OPM director Katherine Archuleta and obtained by National Journal, American Federation of Government Employees President J. David Cox wrote that the hackers stole Social Security numbers, birthdays, addresses, military records, job and pay histories, and various insurance information, in addition to age, gender, and race data.
"Based on the sketchy data OPM has provided, we believe that the Central Personnel Data File was the targeted database, and that the hackers are now in possession of all personnel data for every federal employee, every federal retiree, and up to one million former federal employees," Cox wrote in a letter dated Thursday.

Evidently Officer Casebolt has previously been reported for touching a man’s private area and making racially disparaging comments.
The incident happened in 2008 when Albert Earl Brown, a black man, was pulled over by Officer Casebolt. Being a loyal enforcer of the War on Drugs and the Prison Industrial Complex, Officer Casebolt wanted to “search” Brown for drugs.
To the point of pulling the man’s pants down — all the way — and reaching into his genital area.
Officer Casebolt also accused Brown of being a “dope dealer,” according to the report.
The Daily Beast reports as follows:
Albert Earl Brown, Jr. alleged that Casebolt “reached in my private area” and “also pulled my pants down below my ankles” to search him for drugs. Casebolt and the other officers allegedly shined a flashlight in Brown’s anus after slamming his face repeatedly into the hood of the car. Brown alleged that Casebolt made disparaging remarks about “white girls” hanging out with a “dope dealer.”
MCKINNEY, TX — A pool party turned into chaos after police arrived.

Zimbabwe offers new exchange rate: $1 for 35,000,000,000,000,000 old dollars | World news | The Guardian
Zimbabweans will start exchanging “quadrillions” of local dollars for a few US dollars next week as President Robert Mugabe’s government discards its virtually worthless national currency.
The southern African country started using foreign currencies including the US dollar and South African rand in 2009 after the Zimbabwean dollar was ruined by hyperinflation, which hit 500 billion per cent in 2008.
At the height of the country’s economic crisis, Zimbabweans had to carry plastic bags bulging with banknotes to buy basic goods. Prices were rising at least twice a day.
From Monday, customers who held Zimbabwean dollar accounts before March 2009 can approach their banks to convert their balance into US dollars, the governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, John Mangudya, said in a statement.
NY Mets Dress Like Prison Inmates To Promote Gun Control...
NY Mets Dress Like Prison Inmates To Promote Gun Control...
I’ve never been a fan of the New York Mets but NOW I really don’t like them! That being said though this story really bothers me because growing up I loved baseball and watched many of my favorite players and teams play their hearts out for the fans and didn’t involve themselves in joining people to who are after our constitutional rights. Maybe things like this is the reasons why the sport of baseball is turning into a national joke instead of our national past time.
my question is why? are they dumb enough to assume that any law abiding gun owner should be in jail? Guns dont kill people they people holding that gun and shooting it kill people. Its true put a gun on the table full up on ammo, and let it sit there till it does. It'll get rusty first unless someone picks it up to use it.

Board Certified doctors and dentists will fit you with an FDA cleared oral appliance for sleep apnea and snoring in the comfort of your own home.
Board Certified doctors and dentists will fit you with an FDA cleared oral appliance for sleep apnea and snoring in the comfort of your own home.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea occurs when the muscles and tissues in the back of your throat relax and collapse your airway while you sleep. As air attempts to pass through this collapsed airway, tissues vibrate and cause you to snore. Sometimes this collapse prohibits airflow so severely that you briefly stop breathing; your body automatically responds and wakes you up, allowing airflow to resume. This pattern of air deprivation and breath resumption is known as sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can cause multiple complications, including: chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, depression, heart attack and more.
There are only 2 products that are FDA cleared to eliminate or reduce
sleep apnea: an oral appliance or a CPAP. Both the oral appliance and CPAP eliminate or
reduce sleep apnea by opening the blocked airway in the back of your throat.

Imagine being able to see three times better than 20/20 vision without wearing glasses or contacts — even at age 100 or more — with the help of bionic lenses implanted in your eyes.
Dr. Garth Webb, an optometrist in British Columbia who invented the Ocumetics Bionic Lens, says patients would have perfect vision and that driving glasses, progressive lenses and contact lenses would become a dim memory as the eye-care industry is transformed.

US medical examiners can keep organs from dead bodies, NY court rules — RT USA
Grave concern: US medical examiners can keep organs from dead bodies, NY court rules — RT USA
Medical examiners don't have to return all organs from autopsied bodies to the deceased person's family, New York's Appeals Court ruled on Wednesday. The decision also added that it is not necessary to inform relatives if any body parts are missing.
A verdict allowing city coroners to return the body with missing organs for burial after performing an autopsy was ruled on in New York, AP reported. The appeals court had reversed a lower court's decision, which involved a family who unknowingly buried their son with parts of his body missing.
"There is simply no legal directive that requires a medical examiner to return organs or tissue samples derived from a lawful autopsy and retained by the medical examiner after such an autopsy," NY Daily News quoted Judge Eugene Pigott as saying.
Medical examiners have discretion to tell families whether they've removed and kept any body parts, but will not face any liability if they opt not to warn relatives, the court of appeals said.

SENATOBIA, Miss. — “My 18-year-old daughter, Lanarcia Walker, graduated from Senatobia High,” Linda Walker said.
The pomp and circumstance did not last long for some Mississippi families.
“He said ‘you did it baby’, waived his towel and went out the door,” Walker explained.
“When she went across the stage I just called her name out. ‘Lakaydra’. Just like that,” Ursula Miller said she shouted about her niece.
Miller and Henry Walker were two of the four people asked to leave Senatobia High School’s graduation ceremony for cheering.

“It looks like Osama Bin Laden’s compound. This is a complete atrocity. This is a paramilitary force used in a civilian environment … for one gunman? To use this kind of power? They methodically fired explosives into every room in this house in order to extract one person. Granted, he had a handgun, but against 100 officers? You know, the proper thing to do would be to evacuate these homes around here, ensure the safety of the homeowners around here, fire some tear gas through the windows. If that didn’t work, you have 50 SWAT officers with body armor break down the door.”

It's About Time: New Bill Requires Police to Report All Shootings & Uses of Force
It's About Time: New Bill Requires Police to Report All Shootings & Uses of Force
Boxer cites a Washington Post article from Saturday as one of the catalysts bringing about this legislation, which states more than two people per day, at least 385, have been fatally shot by police so far in 2015 — twice what the federal government tallies for an entire decade. Even the Post’s number is lowball, as independent sources listed at least 400 killed by police at the beginning of last month.
“The first step in fixing a problem is understanding the extent of the problem you have. Justice and accountability go hand in hand — but without reliable data it’s difficult to hold people accountable or create effective policies that change the status quo,” said Booker of the proposed law. “Our legislation is vital to ensuring we have the data required to make good decisions and implement reform measures that are balanced, objective, and protect the lives of police officers and the public.”
All states would be required to report officers’ use of force incidents to the Attorney General, with the following criteria considered the minimum information to be included:
— The gender, race, ethnicity, and age of each individual who was shot, injured, or killed
— The date, time, and location of the incident
— The number of officers and number of civilians involved in the incident
— Whether the civilian was armed with a weapon
— The type of force used against the officer, the civilian, or both, including the types of weapons used
Included with the legislation is the possibility for grants to train law enforcement on use of force, emphasizing de-escalation and “bias training.”

The Counted: people killed by police in the United States in 2015 – interactive | US news | The Guardian
The Counted is a project by the Guardian – and you – working to count the number of people killed by police and other law enforcement agencies in the United States throughout 2015, to monitor their demographics and to tell the stories of how they died.
The database will combine Guardian reporting with verified crowdsourced information to build a more comprehensive record of such fatalities. The Counted is the most thorough public accounting for deadly use of force in the US, but it will operate as an imperfect work in progress – and will be updated by Guardian reporters and interactive journalists as frequently and as promptly as possible.
Am I the only the only one that sees this as meesed up that this even exists? Police use deadly force way too much.

Doctor: ADHD Does Not Exist | TIME
Doctor: ADHD Does Not Exist | TIME
If someone finds it difficult to pay attention or feels somewhat hyperactive, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder has those symptoms right there in its name. It’s an easy catchall phrase that saves time for doctors to boot. But can we really lump all these people together? What if there are other things causing people to feel distracted? I don’t deny that we, as a population, are more distracted today than we ever were before. And I don’t deny that some of these patients who are distracted and impulsive need help. What I do deny is the generally accepted definition of ADHD, which is long overdue for an update. In short, I’ve come to believe based on decades of treating patients that ADHD — as currently defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and as understood in the public imagination — does not exist.

A cop on the look out would have already seen the problem. In fact, later in the video, cops do notice the issue because the billboard only changes when they're within four or five feet of it.
Then there's the issue of a company scanning everyone's faces. What could go wrong?
"Once such data is in the hands of a cloud service provider, there's always the possibility that it can be subpoenaed away by a (very data-hungry) government," Lisa Vaas wrote at Naked Security.
Would advertising firms suddenly became much bigger targets for hackers because they'd have even more information about everyone who dared walk around in cities?
If nothing else, we can soon look forward to a future where we all wear camouflage for our walk to the corner store.

McGruff The Crime Dog Has Had Enough and Joins CopBlock - EXCLUSIVE | Cop Block
The police drag me from classroom to classroom to tell kids how bad drugs are, how they shouldn’t use them and that they should report any drug activity to the police or their teachers. Yet, the cops who bring me to these classrooms smoke cigarettes and often smell like beer. They fool the humans with gum and cheap cologne, but my nose is much better than theirs and I know. When I’ve barked to them about this they say that beer and cigarettes are legal and that’s it’s “okay boy.” I believed this at first, especially when the lies were accompanied by delicious treats and heavenly scratches behind my ear, but when I’d go home with a cop from time to time, I’d see other hypocritical behavior as well. Including, but not limited to, smoking drugs, drinking alcohol while driving and other activities that were a crime for others but acceptable for these cops. They even had people I’d consider ‘bullies and criminals’ over to their houses; you know, the same guys I was barking to the children about! None of this made me happy, but if I barked too much they’d put me outside and often times forget about me.
The police drag me from classroom to classroom to tell kids how bad drugs are, how they shouldn’t use them and that they should report any drug activity to the police or their teachers.

The Super-Secret Way to Create Suspense in Your Story - Helping Writers Become Authors
The Super-Secret Way to Create Suspense in Your Story - Helping Writers Become Authors
In Stephen King’s The Shining, will Danny and his mother Wendy escape being murdered by father/husband Jack Torrance? Can you figure out which character inMurder on the Oriental Express committed the murder? Was anyone in the first audience at Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho prepared for the final revelation?
Is There a Problem With Suspense?
Yep, there’s a problem with suspense, and it’s implicit in that last sentence: Was anyone in the first audience prepared for what was to come? What about later audiences? Someone is bound to be a spoiler, so word was bound to get around aboutPsycho: “Norman Bates and his mother are the same person!” The climax is still shocking, but once the secret is revealed, some of the impact is lost.
Fortunately, a second path is open to mystery writers. This path doesn’t rely on the Big Secret being concealed. It doesn’t require use of red herrings to throw readers off the scent and send them down blind alleys.

I like the show and think this is awesome! Good for all, but good for them for doing this.
'The Big Bang Theory' just did what no TV show has ever done before
And people say TV will rot your brain: Yesterday, CBS’ The Big Bang Theory made waves—and history—when showrunner Chuck Lorre (Mom, Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly) revealed that he plans on taking the award-winning program’s scientific slant from fiction to reality. Starting this week, Big Bang Theory and The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation have established The Big Bang Theory Scholarship Endowment—valued at $4 million dollars.

Cops Arrest Subway Riders For "Manspreading": Gothamist
Cops Arrest Subway Riders For "Manspreading": Gothamist
Manspreading arrests are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to numbers-driven policing in the subway system, which often takes place in the middle of the night, according to Gangi. Underground is where Broken Windows champion and police commissioner Bill Bratton got his start at the NYPD as transit chief, and fare evasion consistently ranks among the most common types of misdemeanor arrests. But the maddening tickets and criminal charges recounted in the PROP report come in many shapes and sizes, for behavior like putting a foot on a subway seat or walking between cars (always illegal, whether or not you're bothering anybody). Gangi said that he has no concrete proof that quotas exist, but that it's the only explanation for the volume of questionable cases he sees coming through court.

Inspectors looking for overgrown lawns, other violations at Indianapolis homes | Fox 59
Inspectors are hitting areas with the most complaints and repeat offenders to check for violations. If the grass and weeds stand taller than a foot, it is a violation of the City code and the property owner will receive a written warning with a five-day deadline to clean up the lawn.
If owners don’t follow through, the City will send out a vendor that will mow the yard for them and then slap the owner with a $353 fine.
“We hate to do it, but it’s something that needs to be done,” said DCE Public Information Officer Dimitri Kyser.
The sweeps seem to be working.

Synthetic Opioid Behind Many Of N.H.'s Drug-Related Deaths | New Hampshire Public Radio
Fentanyl is used to manage severe chronic and post-surgical pain. As a pharmaceutical, prescribed in lozenges or transdermal patches, it is 10 to 50 times more potent than morphine.
But, increasingly, a powdered form of the drug that is 200 to 2,000 times more potent is being mixed with heroin or passed off as heroin to unwitting users.
“If the heroin-acclimated person buys what they think is heroin and it’s a mixture of fentanyl or even pure fentanyl, they’re done,” says New Hampshire’s Chief Medical Examiner Thomas Andrew, whose office released a final tally of 2014’s drug-related deaths this week. “Because they are going to inject the amount they are used to injecting.
“It’s public enemy number one now.”

Silk Road Creator Ross Ulbricht Sentenced to Life in Prison | WIRED
Ulbricht’s sentencing likely puts the final seal on the saga of Silk Road, the anarchic underground market the 31-year-old Texan created in early 2011. At its peak, the Dark Web site grew to a sprawling smorgasbord of every narcotic imaginable—before Ulbricht was arrested in a public library in San Francisco in October of 2013. Eighteen months later, he was convicted in a Manhattan court on seven felony charges, including conspiracies to traffic in narcotics and launder money, as well as a “kingpin” charge usually reserved for the leaders of organized crime groups.

Teens Outraged at "No Sausage Rolls" Dress Code for Graduation
Teens Outraged at "No Sausage Rolls" Dress Code for Graduation
Burtop’s mom wants to take it even further, threatening to sue the school for gender discrimination—the boys’ section instructs them not to show their underwear, but it doesn’t order them to minimize the appearance of their body fat.
Fortunately, sausageghazi looks like it might be the rarest of American problems, the kind that can be resolved without a lawsuit.
“School officials said the issue is being addressed and the letter does not reflect the standards of the Upper Adams School District,” ABC News reports. It’s apparently been failing to meet those standards for quite some time: officials added it was “drafted years ago, and the author of the original document has since retired.”

The Costs of a $15 Minimum Wage - Reason.com
The Costs of a $15 Minimum Wage - Reason.com
"The problem is that a higher legal minimum wage is at odds with the prevailing supply of and demand for labor. If you set the minimum too high, you will get a shortage of jobs. Forbidding employers from paying $9 or $12 an hour means that many of their workers won't get $13 or $15 an hour. They will get zero per hour, because those jobs will disappear.
Some businesses will reduce staffing or hours. Some will scrub expansions they had planned. Some will install machines to handle tasks previously assigned to humans. Some will shut down."
"Some of these consequences have already occurred in Seattle. One pizzeria owner, employing 12 people, told NPR her choice was to go back to working 60 to 80 hours a week or close. She's closing.
"Even Seattle's best-known chef, Tom Douglas, says he may have to close some of his 15 restaurants," it reported. If a famous restaurateur can't make it work, how will obscure ones fare?"

Man Threatens Suicide, Police Kill Him - The Daily Beast
In a phone interview with Commander Chuck Mulligan of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, The Daily Beast asked if it was standard procedure to bring assault rifles, but not mental-health professionals, to a scene where someone is suicidal.
“If the deputies feel that that is the appropriate weapon system to use, then yes,” said Mulligan.
If the deputies used tasers and one prong missed, Mulligan said, they might be left in a difficult and potentially dangerous situation.
“They were in a very tight space within a residence,” he said.

This is Why High School Sucks for so Many Kids: 16 Yr Old Photog Threatened by Admin for Selling Pics - Hit & Run : Reason.com
Back in March, Mazur says he was called into FMHS Assistant Principal Jeffrey Brown’s office, where he saw that Brown had his website pulled up on a computer there. He said that Brown was angry at him, and told him that posting the pictures online was illegal, and violated copyright. According to Mazur, Brown also worked the angle (contrary to the policy listed above) that the camera belonged to the district. When Mazur argued that the copyright belonged to him, he says that Brown changed his tune and said that it violated student privacy. Brown allegedly told Mazur at the time that a parent had complained.
Mazur alleged that Brown told him in a coercive tone “I’m just asking you to take the website down, I’m not asking you to return any money.” Mazur said he assumed Brown meant the school, with regards to returning money. Mazur said Brown told him that he “wouldn’t report [Mazur] to the IRS” over the money he earned from selling the photos. Brown told Mazur that he was issuing an “administrative directive” to take the photos down. At this point, Mazur said he requested that his parent be brought into the discussion.

As it so happens, Mann was an active member of the campus's Feminists United Club (FUC), and Vander Briel was (supposedly) a former member of the rugby team. Considerable bad blood existed between the two groups, and in the weeks leading up to Mann's death, members of FUC had faced a torrent of verbal abuse and threats on Yik Yak, an anonymous social media site. In May, attorneys for FUC filed a Title IX complaint against UMW with the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights for failing to protect the group from sexual harassment and cyber bullying.

When Filming Police Isn't Enough | Cop Block
Recently, a Pennsylvania judge prohibited the release of a video depicting Pennsylvania officer Lisa Mearkle fatally shooting an unarmed man in the back. The rationale was that public release of this video would taint the jury pool and impair Mearkle’s right to a fair trial (more here). While any accused individual should indeed be given a fair trial, it is interesting to note there is no similar a concern when it comes to releasing prejudicial information about an injured or dead victim. News articles covering recent police brutality occurrences are quick to point out thevictim was a felon, was a possible gang member, or (god forbid) was drinking alcohol. It is rare for a judge to issue orders prohibiting members of the media from releasing prejudicial or inflammatory information about the victims, out of fear the victim’s civil rights/personal injury/wrongful death lawsuit could be negatively affected.

You have probably heard that hemp, a variety of cannabis sativa (marijuana) that lacks the high-inducing compounds has a multitude of industrial uses ranging from paper, textile, plastics, and food… and that’s barely scratching the surface. To say that hemp is one of the most useful plants in existence is not an overstatement. I’m not going to give an A-Z list of all the uses for hemp but I would encourage you to read up on its many uses and take into consideration that hemp is easy to grow, it’s sustainable, and it’s very environmentally friendly.

GM has joined with John Deere in asking the government to confirm that you literally cannot own your car because of the software in its engine.
Like Deere, GM wants to stop the Copyright Office from granting an exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that would allow you to jailbreak the code in your car’s engine so that you can take it to a non-GM mechanic for service, or fix it yourself. By controlling who can service your car, GM can force you to buy only official, expensive parts, protecting its bottom line.
As Consumerist quips, GM wants you to know that the car in the driveway is “literally not your father’s Oldsmobile.”

Cop Attempts To Break Phone, Illegally Arrests Man Filming
Cop Attempts To Break Phone, Illegally Arrests Man Filming
While videotaping an arrest in Wake Forest, NC; Officer S. Woods tried to intimidate me once he noticed I was recording. He began by telling me to remove my hand from my pocket, (it was in there because of the freezing temperature) which I did willingly. After unsuccessfully attempting to question me, (“I don’t answer questions.”) the officer said he needed my phone for evidence, because I had been recording. The officer then slammed me on my face and left shoulder, even though my right hand was already in a cast. Once the cop had me on the ground others piled on as well. Officer Woods then tried to break the phone by slamming it onto the pavement a couple times before making me show him how to stop it from recording. The WF police took me to their department headquarters, where I was held while in pain for hours, due to my shoulder and the awkward position they had me sat in. After hours of crying out in pain while officers routinely came in and tightening my cuffs instead of loosening them, one finally came in and switched the position of the cuffs to relieve my pain. A few minutes after that I was transported to Wake County Jail. I was charged with RDO and released on an unsecured bond, after spending all night in booking. My cell phone (containing the video) was kept as evidence. Later that day, I went to the ER where I was treated for a left shoulder contusion. Two weeks after the arrest, two Wake Forest police officers brought me a dismissal paper as well as my phone, with the video intact.

The “War on Cash” is heating up. Louisiana has outlawed paying cash for second hand goods, under the pretense that criminals sell stolen goods for cash. France outlawed paying more than €1000 for anything, and you cannot get more than €200 from an ATM. JP Morgan Chase is outlawing storing cash in a safety deposit box. Most bank analysts are now calling for the end of cash. As I have been warning, in no way are we heading towards a gold standard or anything of the sort. Instead, we are heading into the eye of electronic money for taxes.
