This is an inherently abusive power that [cops] should not have. - Wesley Hottot
If Men Were Angels"Youth pastors" are as bad as cops:
No MossA woman is suing the Grace Baptist Church in Lansingburgh, [New York, because] its leadership ignored her daily sexual abuse as a [teen from 15-17] at the hands of a youth pastor - then claimed that she had "led him on"...Larry Hallock...sexually abused the victim "on a daily basis" between 2000 and 2002 in the church...Hallock's wife sent the [victim] several letters acknowledging...the abuse...
This time Rolling Stone wasn't alone in gulping down a load of codswallop:
KFOR, an Oklahoma news channel, reported last week that rural hospitals throughout the state were in danger of becoming overwhelmed by...overdoses of ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug promoted by [anti-]vaccine [cranks] as a possible treatment for COVID-19. The story went viral...under the headline: "Patients overdosing on ivermectin backing up rural Oklahoma hospitals"...[and] was quickly picked up by...Rolling Stone, and the New York Daily News...in fact, [there's] little reason to believe a purported strain on Oklahoma hospitals is caused by ivermectin overdoses; one hospital served by the doctor quoted in the KFOR article released a statement saying it has not treated any ivermectin overdoses, nor has it been forced to turn away patients...but... at no point did [the interviewed doctor, Jason] McElyea actually come out and say that ivermectin overdoses were straining hospitals... It was the journalist, Katelyn Ogle, who added that framing...This means, of course, that if the national media outlets had called the doctor or the hospitals, they would have easily uncovered the error. Instead, they [careless]ly spread it...
Stalkers in Blue 
Another cop demonstrating what he is:
Social Distancing (#1046)A [typical and representative] Arkansas [cop] will spend ten years in prison for stalking a...woman for more than three years...In 2016, Skylar Galloway was working at a family-owned gas station...The owner's brother was [typical and representative cop] Mark Holland...Galloway eventually moved and switched jobs. A month later, anonymous emails came [demanding] nude photos...[along with threats] like "If I have to come over there, I'll take my own pics. I'm going to get what I want." Another read, "You are going to scream and moan, but you probably won't really like it." She started filing police reports...but was turned away [because birds of a feather]...So she decided to...start...investigating...[and] after three years of digging. she realized it was Holland in December 2019. Within five days, he was arrested by his own department and charged with 20 felonies...
Once a government takes more power, it never really relinquishes it again:
A Broker in Pillage (#1072)[Using the excuse of] coronavirus...Australia's federal and state governments imposed draconian restrictions on its citizens [that even the] Prime Minister...[admits are far] too heavy...Before 2020, the idea of Australia all but forbidding its citizens from leaving the country, a restriction associated with Communist regimes, was unthinkable. Today, it is...policy...Intrastate travel within Australia is also severely restricted ...The state of Victoria announced a curfew and suspended its Parliament for key parts of the pandemic...In New South Wales...the...military [was deployed] to enforce lockdowns...anti-lockdown protests were banned, and when dissenters gathered anyway, hundreds were arrested and fined...Enduring rules of th[is] sort would certainly render a country a police state...with COVID-19 now thought to be endemic, rather than a temporary emergency the nation could avoid, how much time must pass before we must regard Australia as illiberal and unfree?...
A good argument for refusing to roll over and let yourself be robbed:
Stephen Lara [was pulled over in Nevada by a cop using the common pretext]...that he'd been...following a...truck too closely...the [pigs rooted through]...his...vehicle, [steal]ing nearly $87,000 in a zip-top bag from Lara's trunk and [pretend]ing a drug-sniffing dog had detected something on the cash...Lara...was charged with no crime. But [cops]...call[ed] a [DEA spook] to [engineer] an "adoption," [a scam] which allows [local cops to circumvent state laws curtailing such robbery by enlisting] federal authorities to [pretend that they were the ones who] seize[d] cash or property the[n give most of it back to the local pigs]...It was only after Lara got a lawyer, sued and talked with The Washington Post about his ordeal that the government said it would return his money [due to the bad publicity]...Justice Department [mouthpiece] Joshua Stueve [oinked that] the government "is reviewing existing policy on adoptive forfeitures"...
Prohibitionists, censors and profiteers will continue to harass businesses thus until FOSTA is overturned:
To Molest and Rape (#1168)A federal lawsuit accusing Twitter of sex trafficking can move forward, says District Judge Joseph C. Spero, in a decision that could portend a dangerous expansion of how courts define "sex trafficking"...[under] FOSTA...The case...was brought by... Morality in Media, [the Kennedy-era pro-censorship group] that also opposes Netflix, Amazon, and Cosmopolitan magazine [and now wants to be called "The National Center on Sexual Exploitation". MiM wants the court to rule]...that soliciting a sex video from someone under age 18 amounts to sex trafficking...[and that] unwittingly providing a platform for a third party to post or link to that video makes one part of a sex trafficking enterprise... the teens-who were 13 or 14 years old at the time-recorded themselves engaging in sexual activity and used Snapchat to share these videos with a third party [the]y believed to be a peer. The recipient turned out to be an adult, who allegedly blackmailed one of the teens...into providing additional sexual content...The perpetrator could have been held individually responsible, since blackmail and soliciting obscenity from minors are both crimes. Instead, [MiM] is going after a bigger, richer, and much more high-profile target...
Notice how often predatory cops' victims are underage?
A Los Angeles Co[p]...has been arrested for...molesting a 16-year-old girl in Rancho Cucamonga. Antonio Heriberto Galindo...coached girls' softball teams...[as a means of finding and grooming] victims...
