Cop Admits to Responding to Child Rape Case by Raping 14 Year Old Victim Himself

by Matt Agorist | Nov 28, 2022 | Criminal Justice, Featured Articles

As frequent readers of the Free Thought Project know, police officers are arrested weekly in this country for sex crimes involving children. This is a massive problem but becomes even worse when victims of child sex abuse seek out help and run right into the arms of someone even worse than they are trying to report. For one girl in New Orleans, Louisiana, this is exactly what happened to her. In 2020, the New Orleans Police department arrested one of its own officers for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old child. Rodney Vicknair, 55, was arrested and charged with sexual battery, indecent...

Cop Shoots Unarmed Man in Head, Gets Slap on Wrist

by Matt Agorist | Nov 22, 2022 | Criminal Justice, Featured Articles

In December 2017, community members began searching for answers after an unarmed man was shot and killed by a police officer in an unmarked car who claimed that he opened fire because he had his hand in his pocket. But their victim, 25-year-old Dennis Plowden Jr. was unarmed and was not a threat when cops opened fire on him just six seconds after they stopped the vehicle. For years, Plowden's family sought justice and this month, they found out that justice will not come. Disgraced officer Eric Ruch Jr.—who put a bullet in Plowden's head that night—was sentenced to just 11 months in jail....

On Monday, the Department of Justice announced myriad charges against former Kansas City Police Department detective Roger Golubski and three other men—Cecil Brooks, LeMark Roberson and Richard Robinson. The group of men is alleged to have been kidnapping young Black girls and holding them in involuntary sex servitude. The disturbing crimes are alleged to have taken place from 1996 to 1998 at a location in Kansas City. The four men held multiple young women as sex slaves at several units within Delevan Apartments, according to the DoJ. “One of those units was a ‘relaxed’ area, where young...

Taxpayers Liable After Cops Taze, Beat Elderly Man in His Home

by Matt Agorist | Nov 7, 2022 | Criminal Justice, Featured Articles

On Friday, TFTP reported the story of Ruby Johnson—an elderly woman accosted in her home—by SWAT officers acting on bad information. She was innocent and police had no reason to be there. Highlighting the problem with police attacking the elderly, is that Johnson's case is not isolated. On May 30, 2021, 75-year-old Michael Clark had harmed no one, broken no law, and was asleep in his home when Idaho Springs cops barged in through his front door and attacked him without warning just like Johnson. Unfortunately for Clark, his attack was far worse. For months, Clark and his family have been...

WATCH: Crazy Cop Spontaneously Starts Smashing Side Windows of Random Cars

by Matt Agorist | Nov 3, 2022 | Criminal Justice, Featured Articles

Over the years, the Free Thought Project has reported on some utterly tyrannical and power-tripping cops. We've seen cops slash tires, break windows, and do just about every other despicable act you can imagine to entirely innocent people. Though we have seen police officers pepper spray motorcyclists as they drove down the road, we've never seen a cop physically smash the car mirrors of innocent motorists as they drive by — until now. On October 17, deputy Chad Whitson with the Torrance County Sheriff's Department responded to a report of a hit and run. The victim in the hit-and-run was the...

When parents of children at Narraguagus Jr/Sr High School in Harrington saw officer Jeffrey Bishop's car parked in front of the school, they likely felt secure knowing that a cop was "protecting" their children. But Bishop was protecting no one. Instead, he was selling them deadly fentanyl. Bishop, 55, of Cherryfield is charged with four counts of aggravated furnishing of scheduled drugs, as well as one count of unlawful trafficking in Schedule W drugs in 2021. Under Maine law, Schedule W drugs are amphetamines, cocaine and its derivatives, heroin and similar opiates, and other drugs that...

Political Theater: Joe Biden Pardons ZERO Federal Marijuana Prisoners

by Matt Agorist | Oct 25, 2022 | Criminal Justice, Featured Articles

Earlier this month, President Joe Biden announced what many perceived to be one of the largest acts of clemency in history. Biden said he was rolling out a mass pardon for all those currently sitting in jail on a federal marijuana possession charge. This announcement was a breath of fresh air considering this country's horrific track record when it comes to kidnapping, caging, and killing people over this plant. While this sounds like a major move on the surface, when we take a closer look, it doesn't appear to be major, or, in fact, any move at all. According to an analysis of federal drug...

Pfizer Exec Admits COVID-19 Vaccine Never Tested to Prevent Transmission, Media Silent

by Matt Agorist | Oct 14, 2022 | Featured Articles

In early 2021, CDC director Rochelle Walensky had no problem going on national television and declaring to the world that if you took the covid-19 vaccine "you will not get or spread covid." Within weeks, this was found to be entirely untrue. Dr. Anthony Fauci also spread the exact same misinformation, telling Americans that they had nothing to worry about once they took the shots. Yet hundreds of thousands of people who took the shots, got sick and died. Joe Biden, Bill Gates, and countless other Pfizer shills in the media waged a massive campaign to convince Americans and the world at...
