Police released video Thursday that Officer Chrisman arresting a woman right next the medical examiner's office in Phoenix.
Security guards inside were watching him on surveillance video. What
they saw bothered them so much, they turned the tape over to the police
department.
In that 2005 incident, Chrisman and his partner
arrested a homeless woman on an outstanding warrant. According to the
More.. internal affairs investigation, Chrisman and his partner planted
drug paraphernalia on the woman -- because they wanted to play a joke on
the woman, who is mentally challenged.
Chrisman puts a brilo pad and pipe in his partner's left hand. His
female partner then pretends to pull the pipe out of the woman's dress.
Chrisman said he knew the suspect, and just wanted to get a rise out of
her. He was suspended for one day and put on the Brady List -- his
partner was also suspended for one day and put on the Brady List.
The woman wasn't charged with anything related to the planted evidence

footage from the scene of the shootout with the alleged Boston bombers
appears to contain audio of the suspects screaming out, “We didn’t do
it!” as police fire on the two brothers.
Although by no means clear, the words below appear to be shouted by the suspects as they come under police gunfire.
- 24 seconds: “chill out”
- 26 seconds: “chill out”, “chill out”
- 31 seconds: “chill out”
- 37 seconds: “we didnt do it”
- 41 seconds: “we didnt do it”
- 45 seconds: “we didnt do it”
- 1 minute 9 seconds: “hey officer”
Despite being described as a “shootout,” the audio suggests that shots
are only being fired in one direction by police and that the brothers
are not returning fire at this point in the exchange.

The Rachel Maddow Show: BP and Corexit - You're Soaking In It (April 2013)
http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=L5uLyU-8q0A&feature=you tu.be
http://www.youtube.com/
The
Daily Beast recently detailed the extreme health effects related to
pouring 1.8 million gallons of toxic chemicals into the ocean in the
wake of the spill. Corexit, a “dispersant,” was used to keep oil from
reaching the Gulf Coast shorelines. In the process, it caused lasting
neurological impairments, pulmonary problems, and many other serious
ailments for hundreds of cleanup workers and coastal residents. The
author, Mark Hertsgaard, explained that BP officials were told exactly
how hazardous the chemical was, and lied about it. He told MSNBC in a
recent interview that it will be an uphill battle for many people who
have incurred huge hospital bills and are still suffering. “BP set aside
roughly $8 billion for medical claims,” he said, “but most of the
illnesses that these people are suffering from are not covered under
that settlement.” http://thinkprogress.org/ climate/2013/04/30/1942151/ bp-posted-42-billion-in-q1-prof its-as-its-chemical-dispersant s-continue-to-harm-the-gulf/
The
problem? The dispersant used by BP, a chemical called Corexit, is known
to be highly toxic to humans. Exposure can cause a laundry list of
symptoms, including kidney and liver damage, seizures, memory loss, and
even cancer.
Not only were as many as 47,000 workers
potentially exposed to this dangerous chemical, but former oil cleanup
crew are reporting that BP intentionally withheld information on how to
safely handle Corexit and failed to provide any sort of protective gear
to workers. http://www.greenerideal.com/ lifestyle/ 0430-whistleblowers-bp-knowingl y-poisoned-oil-cleanup-crew/

The mental effect of the ’97% consensus’ myth spans politics
97% consensus talking point is simply based on a handful of actual climate responding to a broad questionnaire combined with some statistical spin to give the desired result. Apparently, that’s good enough for low information folks

“US residents who believe in the
scientific consensus on global warming are more likely to support
government action to curb emissions, regardless of whether they are
efficiency or Democrat, according to a study led by a Michigan State
University sociologist.”
In other news, gullibility highly correlates with being hoodwinked.
Here are some of the main stories we will be covering today:
- The UN needs to increase efforts to find a political solution to the
fighting in Syria at the same time as improving access for aid providers
inside the country, said the CEO of Oxfam. "Within Syria, there are
believed to be about five million people who are in need of assistance.
Of them, about four million are internally displaced, so shelter, water,
food - apart from the obvious which is security - are priority needs,"
Mark Goldring said.
- The US has reinforced medical staff at
Guantanamo Bay to try to handle a spreading hunger strike by prisoners
at the detention facility. About 40 nurses and other specialists arrived
at the weekend, according to Lieutenant Colonel Samuel House, a
military spokesman at Guantanamo. He said that 100 of 166 detainees were
now on hunger strike, with 21 of them being force-fed through a tube.
The inmates are protesting against their indefinite detention. Most are being held without charge.
- In the great plains of northern Tanzania, close to the world-famous
Serengeti National Park, a bitter row has broken out over an attempt to
designate 1,500sqkm of the Loliondo District as a conservation zone. The
Maasai herdsmen in the area say their cattle cannot survive without
access to traditional dry-season grazing in the area. The government
says the land is needed as a wildlife corridor between the Serengeti and
the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. To read our correspondent Peter
Greste's blog 'Tanzania wants Maasai off gaming land' click here: http://aje.me/17uQV56.
- Bangladesh has defended its decision to snub foreign aid after the
collapse of a factory complex as anger flared at the recovery operation
and towards the building's owner when he appeared in court. More
protests by garment workers are expected on the streets of Dhaka today. A
Bangladesh court on Monday gave police 15 days to interrogate the owner
of the building that collapsed last week, killing more than 350 people,
as rescuers used heavy machinery to cut through the destroyed structure
after giving up hopes of finding any more survivors.
- A new
video which shows South African President Jacob Zuma and officials of
the governing African National Congress visiting a frail Nelson Mandela
has stirred controversy. The video of the encounter, aired by state
broadcaster South African Broadcasting Corporation, has sparked
accusations of exploiting the anti-apartheid hero's illness. This is the
first television appearance Mandela has made in almost a year.

like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction
between government and society. As a result of this, every time we

we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education.
Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object

- Bangladesh has defended its decision to snub foreign aid after the collapse of a factory complex as anger flared at the recovery operation and towards the building's owner when he appeared in court. More protests by garment workers are expected on the streets of Dhaka today. A Bangladesh court on Monday gave police 15 days to interrogate the owner of the building that collapsed last week, killing more than 350 people, as rescuers used heavy machinery to cut through the destroyed structure after giving up hopes of finding any more survivors.

- The UN needs to increase efforts to find a political solution to the fighting in Syria at the same time as improving access for aid providers inside the country, said the CEO of Oxfam. "Within Syria, there are believed to be about five million people who are in need of assistance. Of them, about four million are internally displaced, so shelter, water, food - apart from the obvious which is security - are priority needs," Mark Goldring said.

“Socialism,
like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction
between government and society. As a result of this, every time we
object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that
we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education.
Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object
to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at
all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are
against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were
to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the
state to raise grain.”
