In each case, the suits allege, Pikett's dogs called attention to the wrong person. Both former suspects have been cleared.

revocation of his driver's license. The driver also reaches a financial

[#3 my favorite] Common ground. Chicago, Illinois; London, England; Tehran, Iran; and Ramat Gan, Israel. It turns out there’s one thing the governments in Iran, Israel, the U.K., and the U.S.A. can all agree on: massive police brutality against political protesters.

A Chicago police officer avoided jail time today for pummeling a woman who was tending bar, even though prosecutors produced a previously unseen video showing him beating someone else at the bar hours earlier.

family are innocent. But they stubbornly refuse to acknowledge any
wrongdoing, such as not doing the least bit of investigation before
sending the SWAT team to take down Calvo’s door, not knocking and

NRA-ILA has recently received several calls from NRA members in
border states who have been visited or called by agents of the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. In some cases, agents
have asked to enter these people's homes, and requested serial numbers
of all firearms the members possess.
In each case, the agents
were making inquiries based on the number of firearms these NRA members
had recently bought, and in some cases the agents said they were asking
because the members had bought types of guns that are frequently
recovered in Mexico.
Some of the agents have used heavy-handed tactics.

Call it déjà vu all over again.
It was Dec. 20, 2008, and Terry Bressi found himself idling through a remote Border Patrol checkpoint on State 86. He was simply returning from his job at the Kitt Peak National Observatory, on the Tohono O'odham Reservation west of Tucson. But minutes later, he possessed a newly minted citation for impeding traffic. One might be forgiven for assuming that traffic impediment is the actual purpose of these checkpoints, which are popping up with increasing regularity across the Southwest. But when it comes to Terry Bressi, the Border Patrol and the Tohono O'odham Police Department have a little score to settle.

Police and prosecutors were apparently convicting people of violent crimes based almost exclusively on the “testimony” of a police dog whose handler claimed has extraordinary powers. Judges and juries apparently bought this crap for years. It finally came to an end when Judge Gilbert Goshorn ordered the dog to perform a basic tracking test after Preston claimed the dog had alerted to a suspect’s scent at a crime scene six months after the murder. The dog failed.
