The Cop That Killed Breonna Taylor Claims He Doesn’t Remember It At All

by | Oct 6, 2020 |

16 rounds I fired, you say? Er uh well could be I guess. Sullum at Reason: Myles Cosgrove, a Louisville, Kentucky, detective who participated in the fruitless and legally dubious drug raid that killed Breonna Taylor last March, told investigators the incident unfolded so quickly that he was not consciously aware of using his gun. That detail, which emerged from audio recordings of grand jury proceedings that were released on Friday, is alarming in light of the fact that Cosgrove fired 16 rounds—including the fatal bullet, according to the FBI's ballistic analysis. "I just sensed that I've...

Street Gangs Run the LAPD

by | Oct 6, 2020 |

In argument-ad-absurdum news: LA TImes: ‘Gang-like’ deputy clique exerts ‘undue influence’ at East L.A. station, report says: Los Angeles County’s top watchdog said Monday that substantial evidence exists that a secretive group of tattooed deputies at the East L.A. sheriff’s station are “gang-like and their influence has resulted in favoritism, sexism, racism and violence.” In a 32-page report probing activities of the Banditos clique, Inspector General Max Huntsman alleged that Sheriff Alex Villanueva “continues to promote a code of silence regarding these sub-groups” which have plagued the...

Cops Kill Man

For "breaking into" his own home, they had their German Shepherd maul him for two minutes and then laughed as he bled to death. And, of course, they all got away with it and they will all get away with it because they are government employees so they can do whatever they want.

10/2/20 Andy Worthington on His Assange Extradition Hearing Testimony

by | Oct 5, 2020 |

Scott interviews Andy Worthington about his testimony in Julian Assange's extradition hearing. Worthington reminds us how important the revelations in Chelsea Manning's Guantanamo Files leak were, stressing just how much harm has been done to the dozens of men held, and often tortured, there—including the 40 who are still detained today. Assange, says Worthington, is not a hacker or a hostile intelligence actor; he is simply a heroic journalist working to expose government crimes to the people. Discussed on the show: "Rasul v. Bush" (Oyez) "The Guantanamo Files" (WikiLeaks) Andy Worthington...

Cop Kills Man

by | Oct 5, 2020 |

An entirely innocent, unarmed man; a "pillar of the community" who had stopped to break up a fight. It is already a foregone conclusion of course that there will be no accountability whatsoever for this heinous murder because the guilty criminal perpetrator is a government employee, and they can all murder whoever they feel like murdering.

10/2/20 Danny Sjursen on the Latest Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict

by | Oct 5, 2020 |

Danny Sjursen explains the complicated situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, a piece of Azerbaijani territory that has been under de facto Armenian control since the 1990s. Nagorno-Karabakh is the result of Stalin's territorial divisions, which very often failed to conform to ethnic lines, leaving an ethnic Armenian supermajority in what had become a foreign country. Both sides have fought over the territory for years, but an uneasy truce has held ever since the conclusion of a six-year war in the 80s and 90s. In the last few days, however, violence has broken out again, and Sjursen fears that war...

10/2/20 Jeffrey Kaye: Proof of American Biological Warfare in Korea

by | Oct 4, 2020 |

Scott interviews Jeffrey Kaye about his bombshell report on U.S. war crimes during the Korean War. For decades, Kaye says, the narrative advanced by America and the UN has been that although Japan, our ally, is known to have conducted experiments in chemical and biological warfare, any claims that the U.S. engaged in such activities are nothing more than communist propaganda. Even today, anyone alleging that America used such weapons in Korea is labeled a conspiracy theorist. But Kaye has now meticulously combed through a trove of recently-released documents from American intelligence that...
