Peaceful Man Arrested for Defending Himself. Stun Gun is a "Firearm", Self Defense is "Vigilantism"

Article

A taser is considered a "firearm" and defending yourself against violent attackers is considered "vigilantism".

From the article:

He had bought the stun gun, which was billed as a 'self defence torch', from a Dutch trucker after his friend was robbed by migrants whilst driving through Calais. 

The court heard the devices are legal in both Holland and France, where they are available freely at petrol stations and are frequently carried by lorry drivers. 

However it is classed as a firearm in the UK, meaning Mr Garrett was arrested on the spot when it was found in his vehicle. 

...

Sentencing Mr Garrett to six months in jail, suspended for two years, Judge David Goodin said he understood the trucker had been put in a "very difficult position" by the ongoing chaos at Calais. 

He said: "The court does accept international drivers coming from northern France through the Channel ports have a particularly difficult time of it presently because of the determined attentions of illicit immigrants who want to hitch on unobserved and get themselves to England at very nearly all costs. 

"One understands the more desperate they are the more alarming it is for a lorry driver who might find in the course of an inspection that he has such unwanted guests on his wagon. 

"Nevertheless the law cannot accept any attempt of vigilantism whatever the temptation may be for lorry drivers to arm themselves for the purpose of repelling these illegals." 

Wikipedia:
Persons alleged to be escaping the law or above the law are sometimes the victims of vigilantism. Vigilante behavior involves various degrees of violence. Vigilantes may assault targets verbally, physically, vandalize property, or even kill individuals.

UK Cops: "Arrest Him"; U.S. Cops: "Kill Him"

Rutherford Institute Defends Florida Mom Arrested, Handcuffed, Searched & Jailed for Allowing Her 7-Year-Old Son to Visit Playground Alone

(Another good article from CNN)

See the trickery the cops pulled (yellow highlight)? Their goal was to get an arrest at all costs, not to be reasonable.

"Upon arriving at Gainey’s home, officers questioned the single mother about her son’s whereabouts, without informing her that they had picked him up. The police then arrested Gainey, charged her with neglect, and took her to the local jail, where she was physically searched, fingerprinted, photographed and held for seven hours and then forced to pay almost $4000 in bond in order to return to her family."

“What this incident and others like it taking place across the country make clear is that the theater of the absurd that passes for life in the American police state grows more tragic and incomprehensible by the day,” said John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State. “While we all want to ensure that our young people are safe and protected, the government cannot usurp a parent’s right to determine what is appropriate for their children. Unless we put a stop to this ‘government-knows-best’ nanny state mindset now, we may soon find that we have no rights whatsoever in a society that is increasingly bureaucratic, legalistic, politically correct, self-righteous and unconcerned about individual rights.”

Seven Reasons Police Brutality Is Systemic, Not Anecdotal

Article

1. Many departments don’t provide adequate training in nonviolent solutions.
2. Standards for what constitutes brutality vary widely.
3. Consequences for misconduct are minimal.
4. Settlements are shifted to taxpayers.
5. Minorities are unfairly targeted. (not that it would be fair if they abused more white people)
6. Police are increasingly militarized.
7. Police themselves say misconduct is remarkably widespread.

Another Murder by Government of a Peaceful Person Framed by a Hypocritical Government

Article

Sal Culosi is dead because he bet on a football game — but it wasn’t a bookie or a loan shark who killed him. His local government killed him, ostensibly to protect him from his gambling habit.

Several months earlier at a local bar, Fairfax County, Virginia, detective David Baucum overheard the thirty-eight-year-old optometrist and some friends wagering on a college football game. “To Sal, betting a few bills on the Redskins was a stress reliever, done among friends,” a friend of Culosi’s told me shortly after his death. “None of us single, successful professionals ever thought that betting fifty bucks or so on the Virginia–Virginia Tech football game was a crime worthy of investigation.” Baucum apparently did. After overhearing the men wagering, Baucum befriended Culosi as a cover to begin investigating him. During the next several months, he talked Culosi into raising the stakes of what Culosi thought were just more fun wagers between friends to make watching sports more interesting. Eventually Culosi and Baucum bet more than $2,000 in a single day. Under Virginia law, that was enough for police to charge Culosi with running a gambling operation. And that’s when they brought in the SWAT team.

On the night of January 24, 2006, Baucum called Culosi and arranged a time to drop by to collect his winnings. When Culosi, barefoot and clad in a T-shirt and jeans, stepped out of his house to meet the man he thought was a friend, the SWAT team began to move in. Seconds later, Det. Deval Bullock, who had been on duty since 4:00 AM and hadn’t slept in seventeen hours, fired a bullet that pierced Culosi’s heart.

Sal Culosi’s last words were to Baucum, the cop he thought was a friend: “Dude, what are you doing?”

In March 2006, just two months after its ridiculous gambling investigation resulted in the death of an unarmed man, the Fairfax County Police Department issued a press release warning residents not to participate in office betting pools tied to the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. The title: “Illegal Gambling Not Worth the Risk.” Given the proximity to Culosi’s death, residents could be forgiven for thinking the police department believed wagering on sports was a crime punishable by execution.

Why Everyone Should Be Very Afraid of Any Cop in the U.S.

Article

A guy (James Edward Holmes) helps two people who had an accident on a bicycle and called 911. The cops came and immediately became aggressive and hostile to him. They needlessly arrested him and while in jail they taunted and tortured him.

The jailers all knew that his charges would be dismissed before the charges would even be filed. So after 12 hours of degrading and humiliating torture, he was finally released with the false charges being dropped before ever being filed.

The night shift at the jail is notorious for their abuse. It was during the day when they are most likely to be observed and held somewhat accountable that someone explained why he was arrested: "...there are a lot of young cops on the street, trying to make a name for themselves."

You are far more likely to be criminally assaulted by thugs with badges than any non-badged street thug.

The How and Why of Not Talking to the Police

Article (former cop, now criminal Texas attorney)

A better way to handle a car stop is to remain calm, and politely decline to answer any questions the officer asks of you. You do not have to explain why you do not wish to answer his questions. You can simply say, “I do not wish to engage in a conversation with you.” Typically, the police will say something like, “Why don’t you want to talk to me? Are you hiding something?” or “Only guilty people will not talk to the police.” Do not fall for these tricks. Officers are trained to put you on the defensive, and if you begin responding to these conversation tools the police will be able to illicit a lot of information from you that you are not even aware they are gathering. Things such as,

Whether your speech is slurred, mumbled, or otherwise incoherent;
Whether you can keep and convey a clear train of thought;
Whether you are talking rapidly, or abnormally slow;
Whether your responses are direct responses to the questions the officer asks you;
Whether you are overly talkative and trying to over-explain or justify yourself;
Whether you admit to the reason the officer stopped you in the first place;
Whether you admit to coming from an area known for criminal activity;
Whether you admit to coming from an area known for bars – such as 6th Street in Austin.

Cop Shot and Killed in Self Defense in No-Knock Raid, Why Should Anyone Be Surprised?

Government mercenaries break into home over suspicion of a few plants inside that grow in nature. Let this be a lesson to the criminals with badges that breaking into homes unannounced will get you justifiably shot. Exactly how is a victim of a break-in supposed to know they are cops if they don't announce who they are? How can the police just assume that the home invasion victim will assume the invaders are the police? Is it not in the realm of possibility that someone breaking into your house in the middle of the night could be a murderous criminal?

Unfortunately, the victim of the break-in will probably be convicted of murder because the vast majority of the people in the U.S. worship authority figures and they think they can do little to no wrong.

According to the Bryan-College Station Eagle, Sowders had obtained a search warrant for the residence after obtaining information that the homeowner was growing marijuana and possibly had stolen guns. The warrant was a "no-knock" warrant, meaning police could forcibly enter the residence without giving residents a chance to respond.

Sowders, the first officer through the door, was shot and killed by homeowner Henry Goedrich Magee, 28, who has now been charged with capital murder. But Magee's attorney, famed Houston defense lawyer Dick DeGuerin, said Magee and his pregnant girlfriend were sleeping in the home when they heard "explosives" going off and loud pounding at the door. Moments later, the door burst open and a person Magee couldn't identify entered the residence. Magee grabbed a rifle leaning against his bedroom door frame and shot Sowders. According to DeGuerin, Magee shot him because he "believed the man rushing in was an intruder and he needed to defend himself."

"The danger is that if you're sitting in your home and it's pitch black outside and your door gets busted in without warning, what the hell are you supposed to do?" DeGuerin [no-knoch raid victim's attorney] said.

More Criminal Police (but I repeat myself)

Almost immediately after Saleh put the “zero-tolerance” sign in his window, he regretted it.

Miami Gardens police officers, he said, began stopping his patrons regularly, citing them for minor infractions such as trespassing, or having an open container of alcohol. The officers, he said, would then pat them down or stick their hands in citizens’ pockets. But what bothered Saleh the most was the emboldened behavior of the officers who came into his store unannounced, searched his store without his permission and then hauled his employees away in the middle of their shifts. He finally told them he no longer wanted to participate in the program and removed the sign.

The officers, however, continued their surveillance of his store over his objections. The officers even put the sign back on his store against his wishes, he said.

One video, recorded on June 26, 2012, shows Sampson, clearly stocking coolers, being interrupted by MGPD Sgt. William Dunaske, who orders him to put his hands behind his back, and then handcuffs him, leads him out of the store and takes him to jail for trespassing.

More than once, Saleh has told police that Sampson is an employee and is not trespassing.

On that June arrest report, obtained by The Herald, police explained the trespass arrest, saying that Sampson was arrested for loitering outside the store when in fact the video, which has a date and time stamp, clearly shows him being handcuffed and arrested inside the store.

Law Abiding Man Tricked by Government and Sentenced to 25 Years

Article


Take the case of 46-year-old John Horner, a fast-food restaurant worker who was prescribed painkillers after he lost an eye in an accident in 2000.

Three years ago he was befriended by a man called Matt (not his real name).

"We kind of clicked right off the bat. One day he came to where I worked. We were standing there talking, and I realised he was in pain," says Horner.

"He laid it out on me, 'Look dude, I can either pay my rent or go buy my prescriptions. I can't do both.' I decided Matt was a friend. I said, 'I'll help you out.'"


What Horner didn't know was that Matt was an informant working for the Osceola County Sheriff's Office in central Florida.

Over a period of several weeks, Horner provided Matt with four bottles of prescription pain pills - morphine and hydrocodone. He says he also lent him money. On the last occasion Horner handed over pills, he was arrested.

"The next thing I know I got a guy's knee in the back of my neck grinding my face into the concrete. I'm told, 'You're under arrest for trafficking.'"
