I think it's time to organize a citizen's oversight committee for crooked cops

NYC has had this for years (20+). Has it really helped?

AMEN!

But remember, to stand for what is right, even if you must stand by yourself.

I couldnt have said it better , been doing that for years in my own way. those crooked ones you speak of really did a number on me, then when i got my court date they had the same person charging me (misdimeanor) also represent me..when I asked where my public defender was he said the judge took him away from you ,i said why, he said because he's the judge and he can do that , so sign this stuff and we will talk to him and make sure it goes over ok... well it didnt go over ok , so I wrote to the state attorney , and the aclu , no one gave a shit..The whole ordeal started by me calling on a drunk person who tried to punch me and told me they would kill me, my ex.. so they took the sober one to jail ,me, and gave the drunk my apt and everything i owned in the form of a restraining order to me followed by mandatory apt eviction because of the r.o.
my sentence ..18 months dom. violence classes for pushing a drunk off me.. no prior anything.
since i lost my apt and she kept my stuff it left me homeless for about a year.. i havent left my property since i got a new place , its been 5 years. i dont trust anyone anymore
I used to build companies, now I wait for cancer or an earthquake cause im out of energy.
keep up the good fight
peace

What?

Isn't there internal affairs good enough?

We already have something called a "Presentment" that is constitutionally valid. But...in stealth, our congress in the 40's revoked our rights as citizens.

Read it and weep...we've been ass raped in the dark by demons in suits.

In 1947 Congress mandated "The New Rules of Criminal Prosecution" that states:

"The "presentment" as distinguished from an indictment -is nowhere mentioned or provided for in the Rules, being considered obsolete. Link --> [link to digitalcommons.law.yale.edu]

The Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Presentment Definition: Linbk --> [link to chestofbooks.com]
A presentment is made by a grand jury on its own motion, based on an investigation had at the instance of the members themselves and not upon charges submitted by a prosecuting officer, while an indictment is drawn by a prosecuting officer and approved by the grand jury after hearing the evidence tending to show that the person charged is guilty of the crime named and described in the indictment; but the effect in each case is the same and the distinction need not be further referred to.

In other words...they've pulled the rug out from under us.

No, they don't help.

A short "snippet" from Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids in America by Radley Balko:

"As the number of no-knock raids in New York City increased during the 1990s, authorities told victims that their only recourse was the city’s Civilian Complaint Review Board. But the review board’s jurisdiction was so limited. The agency was essentially powerless to give victims the information they needed to seek compensation or at least an apology and an admission of error. The review board was only permitted to review cases in which police themselves act improperly. It wasn’t allowed to look at the substance of an individual warrant to determine, for example, if it was proper for a judge to have issued it in the first place."

I highly suggest one reads it. The author was able to put much of our frustrations on paper with statistics and anecdotes to back them up.

Yup...read the smilie in my sig.

If our government wasn't highjacked by euro banks we could probably produce quite a few "presentments" against all of the corrupts bastards. The problem is we don't have any judges or DA's that would pay any attention to our presentments because they have been deemed "obsolete".

some idiot just posted red karma and said "cunt, leave the popo alone" rolling my eyes. what a pussy.

What?

Useless as a "bucket o' dicks"... Hahahaha!
