End The Violence

By Elmer Whittaker

Virtually just days after the murders of 5 Dallas, TX Police Officers another 3 Police Officers have been murdered, now in Baton Rouge, LA. With a fourth Police Officer still fighting for his life, at the time of this writing.

Racism And The Police

By Elmer Whittaker

Although racism is clearly behind much of the police and judicial corruption, I do not believe that racism is the foundation of injustices against a large number of our citizenry. Many police abusers are black themselves and without a doubt for every black victim of police misconduct there is at least a non-black victim to be found. I do not even believe that minorities are targeted because they are minorities or of a certain ethnical background.

Black Lives Matter Too!

By Elmer Whittaker

Recently, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani called “Black Lives Matter” inherently racist, anti-American and divisive amongst other things in an interview.

I am afraid, but not surprised that I cannot agree with much of Rudy Giuliani’s comments in regards to “Black Lives Matter” other than a few points. Rudy Giuliani is clearly part of the problem.

All Lives Matter

                                                      By Elmer Whittaker

The night before the Dallas attack on “white” Police Officers I was seriously upset about the police murders of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Jamar Clark in Minneapolis. Those murders, like the Erik Scott murder in Las Vegas by the LVMPD concern me personally very deeply, as I carry a firearm usually open on a daily basis. 

Citizens, Cops and Cop Apologists

By Elmer Whittaker  

The long past due outcry over police misconduct, brutality and outright murder has never been about neither Michael Brown, Eric Garner nor Tamir Rice in specific. The current protests against police abuse and police state in our country has been brewing ever since the Rodney King beating in 1992 and has steadily built up pressure with the increased use of video, cell phone and surveillance cameras which clearly and undisputedly shows everyone who chooses to see the enormity of injustices and crimes committed against the American people, by the governments police state forces. 9/11 and the Patriot Acts have seriously stepped up the intensity and violence of today’s police state.

I Once Was Blind…

By Elmer Whittaker

When back in 1992 the video of the Rodney King beating was released, I was as outraged as everyone else just to be dumbfounded by the acquittal of police officers clearly involved and without any doubt guilty of the justified charges against them.

The Most Corrupt State In The Union

By Elmer Whittaker   

Having lived in numerous states and cities including New York City in the 80’s and remembering well the news footage from of the police corruption before, during and after Katrina I was convinced that New Orleans was the most corrupt city making Louisiana the most corrupt state. 

Occupy and Police State Protests

By Elmer Whittaker

In the past few days, more specifically ever since the Michael Brown and Eric Garner protests started in Fergusson, MO and New York City, NY have I been reminded on the immediate outcry of the commonly known as “right-wing” and conservative community against the protesters labeling them as looters, rioters and ultimately communists.

I felt like I was traveling back in time when Occupy Wall Street first got started a few years ago.

Yes, the new anti-Police State Movement got started out on the wrong foot when some of the protesters in Ferguson in fact were looting and burning mostly businesses of innocent community members. There is simply no excuse for harming or damaging the properties or health and life of innocent community members.

Accountability

By Elmer Whittaker 

At present police misconduct, abuse of power, police brutality, police murders but also false and fabricated charges and convictions as well as prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, malicious prosecutions and legal extortion by way of plea deals are at its all-time high and rising.

The simple truth of life and judicial as well as police misconduct is that as long there are no or only little consequences the abuse and the corruption will continue uninhabited. This is not a racial issue any longer, although the Black and Hispanic minorities may still bear the brunt of it, police and judicial system really kill and abuse the citizenry indiscriminately. 

My Political Activism for Liberty and Justice

By Elmer Whittaker 

I became politically active rather late in life and not quite voluntarily, after having become the victim of police and judicial corruption numerous times in 2009/10 in Mohave County, AZ where I lived during that period, and Lubbock County, TX some 1000 miles away from where I lived. 

Search Warrants, Dogs and Deaths

By Elmer Whittaker

It has long become standard procedure for law enforcement in particular SWAT Teams to shoot and kill the family dog when conducting a Search Warrant. If you look around even in the mass media you can find so many cases were innocent dogs are shot down like vermin, not even to mention the alternative media. Alone on YouTube are more than a half a million police brutality videos posted, growing on a daily basis.
