Officer Of The Year

Beats homeless women.

“Master Police Officer Phillip Larscheid is considering his options going forward. He was Officer of the Year for 2014 for the entire Dekalb County Police Department and has received more than nineteen commendations during his eight years with the department. He certified with an ASP baton in the Dekalb Police Academy and seven times after that during annual training. 

The two tiered American justice system.  If you work for the state the laws are different.

According to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office official arrest information, Larscheid bonded out of DeKalb custody just after 4 a.m. with a total out-of-pocket cost of zero.

Don’t expect this – they don’t serve you and they have no obligation to protect you.

The top 1% of households have more than twice as much as they did in 2003.

This points to a potentially worrisome side of the expansion, now the longest on record. If another recession comes, it could be devastating for people who have only just recovered from the last one. …

Structural economic forces have affected the wealth of the rich and the lower-middle class differently. The Fed kept interest rates near zero and bought bonds in the years after the crisis to revive the economy, in the process amplifying the run-up in asset prices. “Who owns that stuff? Rich people,” said Karen Petrou, managing partner at Federal Financial Analytics.
