Wow, such HATE

Yes we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, to believe whatever you want is your business. However, this guy is calling for our GOV., to kill people based on the Bible and he is unapologetic about saying such. This country is being taken over by Christian terrorists, especially in the South. I feared for our country back in the 80's with the rise of the so called "Moral Majority" and now we see it's generational spawn rising to power. They turn out and vote Republican, as we just witnessed in the 2014 election. My fears are proving more and more true every day. The good people are starting to rise up protesting the murders of Black Americans but I hope collations will form to include civil rights protections for all minorities. America's future is being drastically shaped, right now! Lets hope the fight will progress us past this dark time.

87 choke holds ... WTF

[link:http://www.vocativ.com/usa/nyc/87-chokehold-complaints-nypd/|


87 chokehold complaints were filed against the NYPD in 2014

Protests have erupted across the country after a grand jury chose not to indict the police officer who put Eric Garner in a chokehold. But an investigation from Vocativ reveals that chokeholds are surprisingly popular for the NYPD.

Even though the chokehold is prohibited by the NYPD, there were 87 chokehold complaints filed against the NYPD in 2014. Vocativ looked at the complaints filed against the NYPD through the Civilian Complaints Board and discovered that civilians filed hundreds of "use of force" complaints, including the 87 for chokeholds.
Chokeholds were the second most common "use of force" complaints, after "officers pointing guns at people," which took the top spot at 140 complaints. The most common "abuse of authority" complaints, meanwhile, included searching and entering as well as random searches, with 366 complaints each. But Vocativ notes that chokehold complaints are, unfortunately, "difficult to prove" — only one of the 87 complaints was "substantiated" and resulted in disciplinary action by the NYPD.

Joe Scarborough, "Mr. High and Mighty"

..... just another arrogant, talking head who has no business giving anyone his moralistic take on anything, especially the Mike Brown killing. This link goes into detail about a female staffer found dead in his office.

The Ugly Story in Joe Scarborough's Political Closet

If "Morning Joe" does wind up on a ballot somewhere, voters might want to keep this question in mind: Was a young woman once murdered in Joe Scarborough's office?

Many Americans probably have forgotten, or never knew, that a 28-year-old female staff member was found dead in the summer of 2001 in the office of U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-FL). Officials in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, determined that Lori Klausutis died from an accident. The mainstream press largely ignored the case, but our review of several investigative reports indicates the official finding is highly questionable ................
