WATCH: Father of 5 Refuses Blood Test, Half Dozen Cops Handcuff and Suffocate Him to Death

cant breathe 1050x525

The words ‘I can’t breathe’ have become a rallying cry for those who advocate for an end to police brutality. In case after gruesome case, these words are captured on video as cops squeeze the life from American citizens. Though police apologists will claim that saying “I can’t breathe” means you can breathe because you can talk, time after time, they are proven wrong. Although they were likely uttered countless times before, as cops squeezed the breath from their victims, the words “I can’t breathe” were burned into history when officer Daniel Pantaleo choked the last breath from Eric...

WATCH: Dozens of NYPD Remove Child Without Vaccine Passport from Restaurant

nypdboy 1050x525

As TFTP reported, earlier this month, New York mayor Bill de Blasio expanded the already-tyrannical “Key to NYC” program which imposed a vaccination mandate for workers and customers at indoor dining, fitness, entertainment and performance venues. Anyone who wished to enter a public place would first be required to give that place a glimpse into their personal medical records by providing proof that they had taken a covid-19 vaccination. Beginning last week, this discriminatory and unscientific practice was expanded to include children, ages 5-11, who are now also forced to show proof of...

Obey The Law!

There is a saying amongst liberty minded people: “There is no law so small that the police won’t kill you for.” The meme above pictures the “arrest” of Eric Garner. He was standing in front of a Staten Island convenience store when NYPD officers walked up and accused him of selling “loose” (individual) cigarettes from packs that DID NOT HAVE A TAX STAMP. Garner said he wasn’t selling “loosies” and told the police he was tired of being harassed. One officer responded by attempting to put Garner’s hand behind his back and cuff him to which Garner responded by pulling away. The officer then...

How About Some Accountability

For cops that break the law and send innocent people to jail. Jason Arbeeny, a fourteen-year veteran of the NYPD, was convicted of planting crack on a innocent couple, but avoided jail yesterday with a teary apology. “I can’t look at myself in the mirror anymore,” Arbeeny's attorney blamed his action on the "enormous pressure" of arrest quotas.  It's called flaking by the cops - planting drugs on innocent people to pump their arrest stats. A former detective cooperating with prosecutors detailed in court the practice of “flaking,” or planting drugs on innocent people, which he admitted to...

WATCH: NYPD Attacks Innocent Mom, Rips Baby from Her Arms, Taxpayers Shell Out $625k

New York, NY — Jazmine Headley and her one-year-old son waited in a Brooklyn public assistance office last year for two hours in an attempt to receive some aid. That aid would never come, however, as an appalling video shows, police would show up, rip Headley’s baby from her arms and then arrest the mother. Now, instead of the cops who savagely attacked an innocent mother and her baby facing accountability, the taxpayers of New York are shelling out $625,000. “I am very pleased that Ms. Headley will receive a settlement that reflects both the harm that came to her and her son and an...

The NYPD Throws a Tantrum… Again

“Law enforcement are the standing army the Founders warned us of.”   These are the words of attorney John Whitehead, founder of the Rutherford Institute. He spoke them on August 31, 2018, during his opening remarks on the Free Man Beyond the Wall podcast. This host was not shocked by the statement but was surprised to hear it come out of the mouth of someone who works within the system. Members of the legal cabal, even those called “public defenders,” take an oath to the court first. A question that may be asked is whether the term public defender describes an attorney assigned to defend...

How Junk Science Sends Innocent People to Jail

On TV crime shows like CSI, NCIS, and Law & Order, science gets the bad guys. In real life, "science" often ensnares the innocent. Former NYPD Detective Harry Houck gets annoyed when TV shows make forensic science look infallible. "You watch a detective get down and look at a body (and say), 'He's been dead for three hours now... (H)e ate dinner four hours ago,'" scoffs Houck. "I can't do that." On TV, experts identify killers by their bite marks. In real life, experts claim they can do that. The TV show Cold Case Files covered the trial of Alfred Swinton. He was convicted of murder...

NYC Gun Permit Scandal: Graft is Inevitable in a Corrupt System

“Two corrupt cops from the NYPD licensing division were plied with strippers, wined, dined and taken on lavish vacations to Mexico and the Bahamas,” reports the New York Daily News. Why? Because in return for nice things, they were allegedly willing to “expedite” the process of applying for and receiving gun permits. Left unmentioned in the story is the other why. Why would someone be willing to blow that kind of money on gun permits? Simple: Because New York City’s government requires such permits, then makes the process for getting them long (3-6 months), tedious (in addition to the...
