Liberranter, your point about Klocker not getting kudos because he should have prevented the murder is well taken. However, keep in mind we do not have all the details, e.g., was Klocker in a physical position to stop Mead, or mentally prepared for such an incidence, or how quickly the shooting took place, etc. From the time Mead said that enough is enough (possibly at the same time he was drawing his pistol), to the time he squeezed out the seven rounds would be maybe 5 seconds. Anyone here who thinks they can react properly to stopping such an occurrence in five seconds is fooling themselves. It is easy to Monday morning armchair quarterback these situations but we must stay within the realm of reality based judgment. But make no mistake about it - Mead's actions certainly point to murder.

As to the charge of being arrested for "resisting arrest" it happened to my husband back in 1993, in Texas (naturally, law enforcement trumps all in Texas!) and was arrested for absolutely no reason at a BP check point in Sierra Blanca, coming home from El Paso. For no reason!

I remember reading your post on the cops in Bakersfield...former Miami Dolphin linebacker Joey Porter, who was arrested for DUI and supposedly "struck" an officer there, is now having an investigation of police brutality by that cop he supposedly "struck." Porter is a Bakersfield native, and might have enough clout to see that some sort of justice is done to these corrupt cops. It is too bad you have to be an NFL linebacker or other star player to "be the wrong person" to screw around with.

clearly, my husband was not the "wrong person" to screw around with!

2010-03-29T19:54:19.196-06:00

"We were never more free than under the German Occupation. We had lost all our rights, above all, the right to speak; we were insulted daily and had to remain silent, we were deported, because we were workers, because we were Jews, because we were political prisoners. All around us on the walls, in the newspapers, on the screen, we met that foul and insipid image that our oppressors wanted us to accept as ourselves. Because of all of this we were free. Since the Nazi poison was seeping into our thinking, each accurate thought was a victory; since an all-powerful police was trying to force silence upon us, each word became precious as a declaration of principles, since we were hunted, each gesture had the weight of a commitment. The often frightful circumstances of our struggle enabled us finally to live, undisguised and unconcealed, that anxious, unbearable situation which is called the human predicament." - Jean-Paul Sartre

2010-03-29T16:57:02.731-06:00

"The right to resist unjustified police violence -- whether it takes the form of kidnapping (the proper description of an unlawful arrest) or physical assault -- is still legally recognized in a dozen states"

I think this is a key note that people need to be aware of. There are many states where there is no right to resist an unlawful act by a police officer acting in his or her official capacity.

For example, in Wisconsin Appeal Court's State v Haywood the court ruled that, in cases where battery on an officer are charged, the defendant does not have a right to resist an unlawful action by an officer so long as that officer is within his or her jurisdiction and acting on police business.

So, indeed, in some states out there it is your duty to submit to an unlawful action by law enforcement and failure to do so is punishable by the full force of law.

The new samurai indeed.

Hi
Wow this is a great piece ! It was a brilliant comparison of the modern paramilitarized cop and mislabeled American 'peace officer' with the Samurai of old..

It struck a nerve with my situation - being tasers and shot is about all I have yet to endure

I have found that trying to assert your rights and to fight for the rights of others can be dangerous and costly where I live

I am currently involved in a fight for my home due to harassment that started with a connected employee of the most powerful law firm in St Louis County, Missouri . That woman was able to use that connection to get politically connected local police - who are assigned and basically in control of a local Muni Court involved This goon squad has made my life a nightmare. I have been threatened, terrorized , police trying to break down my door without a warrant or ordinance violation; they have stolen my property, trespass at will , they have called credit bureaus damaging my credit, spent thousands of tax payer dollars trying to force me to move - they have even had me falsely arrested, and have basically bankrupted me fighting - all while the local precinct police just say there is nothing they can do unless I catch the other cops on tape and local lawyers tell me that they can't sue cops or they themselves fear their own retaliation ?? It has been maddening...

I am being forced to move and will lose everything and have already had to cash in my IRA early - I am a women alone - and I have found other women these men have terrorized but local precinct and pols and media just shrug

I even had a new job and new land and graduate school plans set last year - ready to surrender and simply move to a safer, saner rural area - but a year later I sit here still fighting - they apparently had to bankrupt me as well as force me to flee... I assume they felt broke that I would have to stop any legal effort and they had threatened that if I defied them or fought them - I would wind up penniless and homeless and they are close to succeeding

It is in the same area where the man lost his mind a year or so ago after similar harassment for five years - broke - and broken - he took a gun to city hall killing six before he was killed

Even with that background - local cops and media and pols - refuse to investigate any police misconduct and merely turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to harassment or abuse

Of course this is the same media and police force and pols who knowingly turned their back on the priest pedophilia scandal for decades and where police profile and use tasers like toys and bigotry is the norm.

I would love to see if you have any ideas where I can find some legal precedence or ideally legal help ...

PS I was glad to read your profile description - I was heartened to see you care about faith and family as well as justice - sadly , I have no family here but frankly if it weren't for my faith I would have give up long ago .. I took care of my late parents 24/7 at home before they past - my dad bed ridden for five years but without one bed sore - thanks to God's help ! I worked as a respected professional at McDonnell Douglas for almost 15 years before caring full times for my parents - so I am not some 'trouble maker' or lazy or crazy 'old maid' at 51 = merely some one who has always been a hard working tax payer who never missed a vote and thought I was protected by the Bill or Rights and due process of law ..

I never expected to live in fear of my 'own' police and to find that the law refuses to protect a citizen if a police officer or a connected person has targeted you - you can and will have your rights , your assets, your home, your freedom, and possibly your life taken while they have impunity and the full legal weight and tax payer funds to use and abuse while you go bankrupt ....

I would appreciate any advice you might have

Thank you

2010-03-29T11:46:38.604-06:00

...How frequently would American police resort to unnecessary force if they -- in the fashion of the Samurai -- confronted the prospect of enduring exactly what they illicitly inflict on others?

The problem is that in order for resistance to unlawful arrest to succeed, the resisting citizen would in most cases require “backup” of his or her own from sympathetic fellow citizens sufficient in number and sufficiently armed to resist the platoons of paramilitary gang-banging thugs that the blue-clad gangster coward (or pair of cowards) making the arrest will summon without hesitation once they realize they're outnumbered and outgunned. Sadly, this is almost never possible. Even in the event that a false arrest/felonious assault by a cop takes place in the presence of citizen witnesses, not only do most witnesses lack sufficient intestinal fortitude or love of liberty to provide backup to their hapless fellow citizens, they are also always either unarmed or insufficiently armed to battle the militarily-equipped backup legions.

More commonly, however, is the fact that the odds of any citizen suffering a false arrest, and the violence that attends it, encountering anything among his fellow citizens other than compliant, authoritah-worshiping sheeple who will genuflect in terror before a blue-clad street-thug are something in the negative number range.

Probably the most shocking part of this story is the fact that another LEO actually testified against his fellow LEO. Officer Steven Klocker deserves kudos for that.

No, actually he doesn't. Kudos are for officers who STEP IN AND STOP THEIR FELLOW “HEROES IN BLUE” FROM COMMITTING VIOLENT CRIMES IN THE FIRST PLACE AND PREVENTING UNNECESSARY DEATH OR INJURY TO THE CITIZENS THEY “SERVE.” Steven Klocker did no such thing. At best, he mumbled a mealy-mouthed protest at his pscychopath comrade's murderous depredations as they occurred, clearly afraid to do anything stronger for fear of retaliation by either Troy Meade or the Thin Blue Wolf Pack that showed up as backup. Sure, “testifying” against Meade after the fact is a nice “cheap grace” move, but a more proactive and courageous response when the crime was actually occurring would have saved a man's life. But we all know that this is far too much to expect from anyone inside the Fat Blue Line Gang.

2010-03-28T20:05:31.204-06:00

Meade deserves execution by lethal injection. That said he'll never get what he deserves. I hope Meade does get acquainted with his feminine side with Bubba sodomizing him repeatedly day after day.

2010-03-28T18:54:22.045-06:00

I actually do think the tide is turning.

Personal story:

I was walking in the park yesterday and a cop rolled up behind me and yelled at me
"hey!"
"What" I said and turned around
"Oh, you're not who we want" He said
"You got that right!" I said
"We're looking for someone and you're not him" (looking at me oddly)
"No Kidding" I said
He then proceeded to tell me how he was looking for someone fitting my description but with a slightly different jacket.
"Great, well go do your cop stuff and find him." I said
Somewhat perturbed he drove off...
A lady sitting in her car witnessed the whole incident and asked what happened, when I explained, she said that she wasnt surprised, that she thought cops made up excuses to harrass people, and that soon their was going to be a backlash. I told her I hoped so.

2010-03-28T17:46:29.569-06:00

Probably the most shocking part of this story is the fact that another LEO actually testified against his fellow LEO. Officer Steven Klocker deserves kudos for that. Usually the brotherhood of blue circles the wagons and protect each other no matter what. Although he probably had no choice what with all the other witnesses.

One thing that drives me nuts in these cops gone bad stories is when people are referred to as "civilians". We are not civilians - we are CITIZENS!!!! Using the word civilian best demonstrates the absolute militarization of all law enforcement. The psychological impact between using the word civilian and the word citizen is profound, both for the police and for us mundanes.

2010-03-28T10:07:28.084-06:00

It is my sincere hope that this useless blob of disgusting protoplasm is tried, sentenced and is given what he deserves in prison, it being obvious he will not get what he truly deserves from the state he serves - the death penalty - for his actions against an unarmed, incapacitated citizen for the flimsy reason that "he lost it".

Screw him. It is my fervent hope that justice prevails, in or out of prison, for this despicable faux human being.

2010-03-28T07:42:24.790-06:00

Even mention this sort of this incident to the sheeple, and most of them will begin bleating in unison:

"But he's a cop..."
"Better to NOT resist..."
"Violence begats violence..."
"Do what you're told..."
"Ba ba ba ..."

2010-03-27T23:59:56.236-06:00

Amazing!! The SOB was actually charged with murder!!!???

Only because there were witnesses to the act. Frankly, I'm surprised they weren't summarily intimidated into silence by Meade's fellow blue-clad gangbangers, or simply liquidated along with Mr. Meservey.

"Officer Troy Meade originally was charged wi...

2010-03-27T22:25:56.941-06:00

"Officer Troy Meade originally was charged with first-degree manslaughter in the case, but prosecutors Thursday filed an additional charge of second-degree murder in Snohomish County Superior Court.

A second-degree murder charge means that prosecutors believe the defendant intended to kill the victim, and it carries a higher penalty than a manslaughter conviction."

So regardless of his defense attorneys mewlings it appears they have the witnesses to prove he intended to kill the man and not out any pathetic "self defense" argument.

Problem w. these COUNTERFEITERS then is people's confusion upon abstractions like "capitalism" and "inflation" which not 9 in 10 understand or ever will understand for the causes--THINGS MUST BE MADE CONCRETE for broad popular comprehension--"COUNTERFEITING" then makes it clear, even for children, as to what's happening at the top, the counterfeit financing fueling everything else for deliberately contrived disaster. Thus note theme of New Testament (NT) Gosp. JOHN: Truth vs. lies.

But again, note how folks, so given to wishful-thinking, etc., are so brilliantly and sublimely distracted/diverted by the mass-corporate "Jews-media" (see http://www.natall.com/who-rules-america/index.html). And isn't Britney Spears just the cutest thing?

(b) Then, closely attached to these topmost COUNTERFEIT "artists" we have the homosexuals who must control and capture the people's children.

(c) Finally, filling out the large criminal conspiracy are the illegal alien invaders who, of course, are mostly dupes, and along then w. the illegals u have the (d) bolsheviki cadre who strive to keep the illegals and other dupes organized and mobile.

So the criminals of this large conspiracy are quite plain for exact identity, in all truth, and now there's only one additional element to the criminal problem which needs a little exposition, and that's the (e) "Judeo-Christian" (JC-see Whtt.org and TruthTellers.org for expo/ref.) hereticalist element which works for the most profound confusion lending to legitimizing of these otherwise BLATANT criminals, the JCs advocating a literally treasonous loyalty to a foreign, enemy nation, the Israeli terror-state, this even though most of these blithering JC fools are themselves most gross dupes and fools.

So there u have it: it's actually simple matter of CRIMINALS vs. confused, demoralized citizens horrifically affected w. a profound psy-ops subversion of their poor little TV-addicted mentalities.

CONCLUSION: And the great MISSING ELEMENT, once again, for the recovery of betrayed citizens is that necessary and righteous HATRED which will otherwise UNIFY the so-far horribly victimized people against a common, discernable enemy (TRUTH vs. lies). Therefore the observer of all this degenerate activity can only conclude THINGS MUST GET EVERMORE WORSE in order for the erstwhile fools of the "civilization" to finally figure things out enough regarding the blatant CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY going on in front of their very faces. But if the morons don't do something fairly soon, there might not be a civilization or even much of a surviving population left to save. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian

Full Analysis Of Criminal Conspiracy Against Citizens Must Feature Dramatic Anti-Theses--TRUTH Vs. Lies
(Apollonian, 27 Mar 10)

Grigg's article/story here is good for the journalistic reporting of details--as usual for Grigg--but there's still quite a lot missing for fullest analysis. And it rather reminds me of another similar -type story/article fm OpEdNews.com, via Alternet.com, entitled, "Are Americans Too Broken By Corporate Power To Resist?" 23 Mar 10. See http://www.alternet.org/media/146128/are_americans_too_broken_by_corporate_power_to_resist?page=entire.

And Solzenitsyn too is/was good for description and reporting, but miserable for full analysis and diagnosis. For people ONLY UNITE DECISIVELY AGAINST A NEGATIVE, and the positive ideal is only to be seen in perspective of such negative. So what's missing for Grigg's article then is fullest CONTEXT.

For u've got to have something to HATE with a passion--and the hardship has to be shared w. enough people, like MOST people--things have to get a lot worse, economically, than present, I'm afraid. And don't worry about that (things getting worse)--it's taking place steadily and surely: prices have been going up in increments so far in evermore shorter intervals.

After all, what do u expect w. a national foreign debt of over 14 Trillion buckaroos, with not even the interest capable of being paid?--yet the criminals in charge CONTINUE deficit spending on foreign wars?--against people (Iraq/Afgan, et al.) who did nothing to attack USA?--it's simply insanity and nothing but, evermore obvious to evermore citizens.

Soon prices will go up LOTS and lots, more quickly as we approach outright HYPER-inflation. And the standard of living is going down evermore surely, even if it's masked by all the recent exciting stories about Tiger Woods and dear old Britney Spears.

For things revolutionary need a substantial trigger--like the impending removal of the INTERNET--which will surely require a serious, considerable false-flag attack/atrocity, which in turn, will fool far less of the population than the top oligarchal psychopaths expect.

And note again, things aren't that difficult to discern if u make just an HONEST effort--we have a really grossly, BLATANT CRIMINAL conspiracy in effect beginning at the top, (a) led by the COUNTERFEITERS-bankers of US Federal Reserve Bank (Fed)--see RealityZone.com and TheMoneyMasters.com for expo/ref.

2010-03-27T09:44:53.986-06:00

Total compliance is everything to a police officer. To do otherwise challenges his/her authority. Something as simple as asking a cop "Why?" can make an otherwise routine and peaceful encounter spiral out of control.

So much for escalation of force. Why not spray the drunk with OC and grab the keys? It could have blown back on Mead. Isn't that why cops are trained to function after being exposed to pepper spray? Go for the Taser. Just a squeeze on the trigger and watch the target dance. Easy. But not this time. More non-compliance!

Mead and his attorney have the same mindset as Blackwater operatives, that they are not accountable for their actions. I hope he is convicted and sentenced with the general population.

2010-03-27T09:29:41.326-06:00

Don't forget about the cop that beat up a young teenage woman in her jail cell for "kicking her shoe" at him.

In any case, more evidence of dirtbag cops. I think jdogg is being too optimistic - the tide isn't going to turn for some time. I think this miscreant being charged with murder is just another example of a blind squirrel finding a nut once in a while.

I wonder if this news is being reported over at Fox? I recently returned from a short trip out of state, and while cruising the brain damaged cable channels at the hotel I stayed in, was subjected to commercials proclaiming Fox to be "America's News Channel"... with all the fanfare and waving flag clips that'd make Heinrich tear up with pride. It was disgusting.

I believe the word Solzhenitsyn used to describe the passive Russian, and his behavior in the face of doom, was "rabbits". Are we, too, "rabbits"?
