WHOSE THE CRIMINAL? IT'S GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO TELL

From "Addicting Info" by Nathaniel Downes

Excerpt:

"Former DA: Planting Guns On Shooting Victims ‘Standard Operating Procedure’ 
AUTHOR APRIL 10, 2015 4:06 PM
Attorney Arthur Aidala is a frequent guest on Fox News. The former Senior Assistant District Attorney for Kings County, NY had a lot of first hand experience in dealing with the troubled NYPD of the 1990’s. In a segment discussing the shooting death of Walter Scott by Officer Michael Slager, he may have revealed an open secret, something long claimed but difficult to prove regarding police, accountability, and their ability to get away with murder.
When I was in the DA’s office in the 80s and 90s, that was standard operating procedure. Police officers — I hate to say this — would keep a second gun that nobody knew about on their ankle, so if they ever killed someone they shouldn’t have they would take that gun out.
As a DA, knowing this, he clearly supported the policy at least indirectly. After all, nobody wants the reputation of being against the police, particularly a DA which is reliant upon them for doing their jobs. A hostile DA-police rapport would render the DA unable to fulfill his duty, so whatever the police wished to get away with, they would.
In this case, he was quite frank on Officer Slager’s situation:
There’s going to be no sympathy for this police officer, except for the fact that it’s a 33-year-old human being who is getting paid $40,000 to protect his own life and protect everyone else’s life. Nobody thinks this cop woke up that morning and said let me go kill somebody. He made split second decisions and they were wrong. Obviously he made wrong decisions. It’s going to be about, in my opinion, how much jail time does he serve."

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS AND WHISTLEBLOWERS ON HIGH ALERT



We decided to do this piece because we believe one of our people was being tracked today by local police and because of the bravery of Feiden Santana who now is in fear for his life. 


Community organizers and whistle blowers have often been targeted by police and/or others. In light of recent March statistics and the Walter Scott murder, community organizers and whistle blowers are on high alert.


We highly recommend you obey the law but keep your cell phone cameras ready to record any incidents you suspect might be police brutality/excessive force/deadly force.  We love the app called “HandsUp4Justice”
