Un-identified military personnel extend perimeter around the White House
They were dressed in mixed riot gear, with helmets and face masks, shields and guns loaded with crowd control agents.
The Mount Vernon Police Tapes: In Secretly Recorded Phone Calls, Officers Say Innocent People Were Framed
Bovell’s first batch of recordings landed in the lap of Thomas Drake, an investigator for the Westchester County District Attorney’s office, on February 19, 2019, according to a text message he sent Bovell. On March 4, 2019, Drake texted Bovell saying that he had listened to some of them. The whistleblower recalls being hopeful.
“I gave them that information, and I thought this is it. Something big, positive will happen,” Bovell said.
But nine months later, at a meeting with Bovell and his attorney, Joseph Murray, at the DA’s office, Drake told them that the probe had not moved forward because they had been expecting Bovell to send more recordings, according to both men.
Bovell gave them more recordings in February of this year, and they say they haven’t heard anything since.
Okay, here we go: Of the 59 Assembly Democrats running again in NYC, 25 (42%) have taken law enforcement (police, correction, or court officer) money this cycle.
NOTE: DenDekker, Simotas, and Lentol are all in the top 10. All face challengers in increasingly-leftist districts.
A 19-year-old called out New York Democrats accepting police campaign donations. To his surprise, many have listened
„I‘ve been looking at state finance disclosures for candidates in New York and I was noticing a lot of police money, law enforcement money taken by Democrats claiming to be against it,“ he said. „I was making this spreadsheet. Then (the death of) George Floyd happened — so many people responded and it got, like, a hundred likes in a couple hours? So people wanted to see this.“
Since sharing his „Who‘s Taking Cop Money?“ Google spreadsheet on Twitter on May 29, eight Democrats — including a state senator, state assembly members and New York councilmembers — have vowed to donate their police-funded contributions to bail funds or criminal justice reform organizations.
NYPD Union Chief Is Very Sorry for Sharing a Racist Video That Calls Black People ‚Monsters‘
(14.08.2019)
Ed Mullins, president of New York City’s second-largest cop union the Sergeants Benevolent Association, shared a 15-minute video made by right-wing author Colin Flaherty that refers to black people as “welfare queens,” “scam artists,” and “monsters.”
“Pay close attention to every word,” Mullins wrote in the email according to the New York Post. “You will hear what goes through the mind of real policemen every single day on the job. This is the best video I’ve ever seen telling the public the absolute truth.”
Police Union Discloses Arrest of de Blasio’s Daughter in Privacy Breach
(01.06.2020)
In the post, the union asked how police officers could protect New Yorkers from “rioting anarchists” when “the mayor’s object-throwing daughter is one of them.”
There was nothing in the police report that suggested Ms. de Blasio had thrown any object, and the mayor said she was protesting peacefully. The report said that the police had advised her to leave the street, at 12th Street and Broadway, and she had “refused to do so.”
This Law Makes It Nearly Impossible to Police the Police in New York
(19. April 2018)
For instance, the public has a clear interest in knowing that at least 319 NYPD employees were allowed to keep their jobs, even after committing offenses that NYPD leaders have always assured us were fireable. Those pushing for more police in schools in the wake of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, might want to know that three school safety officers found guilty of using excessive force against students were punished with just five lost vacation days. And anyone concerned about false information leading to wrongful convictions might like to know that more than 100 employees accused of “lying on official reports, under oath, or during an internal affairs investigation” were punished with as little as a few days of lost vacation.
Much of this information would have been made publicly available up until recently. But in 2016 the NYPD suddenly decided, after decades of posting so-called police “personnel orders,” that doing so violated section 50-a of the New York State Civil Rights Law, which limits the release of certain police personnel records.
New York Police Are Attacking Protesters — They Know They Won’t Face Consequences
In New York, which has one of the strictest laws in the country protecting the privacy of law enforcement officers, Gov. Andrew Cuomo surprised advocates this week when he expressed support for repealing 50-a, despite the fact that the legislation has been hotly debated during the nine years he has been in office. “I would sign a bill today that reforms 50-a,” Cuomo said. “I would sign it today.” De Blasio has defended 50-a, and under his administration the city has stopped making the outcomes of internal disciplinary reviews available to the public.
Protests Spread Beyond Big Cities, From Raleigh to Santa Rosa
People have taken to the streets in many small and midsize communities that have seldom, if ever, seen large protests over police brutality

Live Primary Election Results: Iowa, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and More Races to Watch
Eight states and Washington, D.C., are holding primaries on Tuesday, a big test of voting by mail. We’re also tracking several notable races below.
Pentagon chief does not support invoking Insurrection Act
„I‘ve always believed and continue to believe that the National Guard is best suited for performing domestic support to civil authorities in these situations in support of local law enforcement,“ Esper said at a news conference Wednesday.
„I say this not only as secretary of Defense, but also as a former soldier and a former member of the National Guard, the option to use active duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations,“ he added. „We are not in one of those situations now. I do not support invoking the Insurrection Act.“
10 U.S. Code § 252. Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority
Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.
Proteste in den USA: Darf Trump das Militär einsetzen?
An einigen Stellen lässt der Insurrection Act allerdings Interpretationsspielraum. So ist nicht klar geregelt, ob der Präsident auch ohne Zustimmung eines Gouverneurs militärisch einschreiten darf. Rechtsexperten haben dazu unterschiedliche Meinungen.
Blue and White Is My Race
The nation-state law is the constitutional cornerstone of apartheid. And naturally, Hauser’s arguments also tie into the intent to annex parts of the West Bank in the framework of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan: Israel intends to expand its violations of its residents’ equal rights on an ethnic/racial basis.
It’s turning out much sooner than expected that when parts of Kahol Lavan joined the right-wing government, their merger was an expression of a deep ideological partnership.
Here’s What Happened on the 8th Night of George Floyd Protests
Protests around the country continued on Tuesday night. Our reporters and photographers were on the ground in cities across the U.S. Here’s what they saw:
George Floyd protests spread nationwide
Despite major cities around the country enacting curfews, including New York and Washington, DC, protesters are still taking to the streets and facing arrest.
We should demand that every TV show and movie in production that has a police and/or pentagon or intelligence agency “advisor“ on it must fire those “advisors“ immediately they’re a huge part of the probl

Minnesota Files Discrimination Complaint Against Minneapolis Police Department
Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan announced on Tuesday the state‘s Department of Human Rights is launching an investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department‘s practices and policies over the last decade.
Trump stokes backlash with threat to use military against protesters
Governors in 28 states, as well as the District of Columbia, have activated their National Guards to help with crowd control, with the Guard Bureau saying Tuesday that 20,400 soldiers were responding to “civil unrest.”
Trump, though, is pushing for a fiercer response to quash the protests. In remarks Monday evening, he threatened to deploy troops across the country if governors do not “dominate” the protesters.
A letter to Defense Secretary Mark Esper
When I joined the Board in early 2014, after leaving government service as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, I again swore an oath of office, one familiar to you, that includes the commitment to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States . . . and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same.”
You recited that same oath on July 23, 2019, when you were sworn in as Secretary of Defense. On Monday, June 1, 2020, I believe that you violated that oath. Law-abiding protesters just outside the White House were dispersed using tear gas and rubber bullets — not for the sake of safety, but to clear a path for a presidential photo op.
Official resigns from Pentagon advisory board over Esper‘s perceived support for clearing protest outside White House
A former top policy official at the Pentagon, James Miller, resigned from his role on the Defense Advisory Board due to what he said was Secretary of Defense Mark Esper‘s visible support for law enforcement officers‘ clearing of protesters from Lafayette Square on Monday.

Thousands turn up in Hollywood for protest promoted by rapper YG
However, the rapper took to Twitter an hour before its scheduled start to say that he would not be present.
„I was told today that my protest was not safe and that people could get hurt or shot, and I‘m not trying to get none of people hurt or shot,“ he said in a video, adding that a protest would be held later „the right way.“
Still, plenty showed up and the group quickly grew in size.
