Gawker: Police Seize Woman's Camera After She Films Them Fatally Beating a Man
Last Tuesday, Maria Melendez witnessed a half-dozen sheriff’s deputies fatally beating 33-year-old David Sal Silva—hitting him with clubs and kicking him— in Bakersfield, California outside Kern Medical Center. She began to film the scene on her phone, yelling to the cops that she was filming them.
Melendez, who had been visiting her son at the hospital, reported that the deputies beat Silva for eight minutes as he screamed and cried for help. He was “basically pleading for his life,” said Laura Vasquez, another witness with Melendez. “Then we couldn’t see him anymore. That’s how many cops were on top of him.”
A spokesperson for the Kern County Sheriff’s Department says that Bakersfield Police Department officers had a warrant for both phones they confiscated last week. Law enforcement officials apparently plan to continue holding the phones, as part of the investigation into Silva’s death, and all of the officers involved have returned to full duty.
Are things just seemingly getting out of hand everywhere or can we blame this on the Internet that we now know so much..?

Brain scans reveal marijuana-like medicine could effectively treat PTSD
But yet we are a nation of alcohol and antidepressants. And people serve life sentences for something that grows naturally.
Explain that one to the aliens when they come back.

White House responds to Justice Dept. secretly obtaining AP phone records: "We are not involved"
In the time of current scandal, I’ve been trolling through old videos of how past presidents dealt with issues engulfing their respective Administrations.
Interestingly, I find Richard Nixon to be the most convincing.. Seriously. What a good actor.. what a terrible president.
Watch and decide if I’m write.. His ‘defense’ of his White House was far better than Reagan’s during Iran Contra, Bush during the leak scandal, and Clinton during Lewinsky.. Far better with worse results..

Ok, I liked STARMAN when I was young.. but I LOVED SUPERFUZZ. The best worst movie, perhaps of all time.
I remember when I first started dating my wife, I made her watch it. Surprisingly she stayed with me and later went on to marry me.
But she never watched it again.

Wow, POLITICO
The town is turning on President Obama – and this is very bad news for this White House.
Republicans have waited five years for the moment to put the screws to Obama – and they have one-third of all congressional committees on the case now. Establishment Democrats, never big fans of this president to begin with, are starting to speak out. And reporters are tripping over themselves to condemn lies, bullying and shadiness in the Obama administration.
Wow, POLITICO
Inside the AP: Fear, determination - Dylan Byers and Katie Glueck
Reporters across The Associated Press are outraged over the Justice Department’s sweeping seizure of staff phone records — and they say such an intrusion could chill their relationships with confidential sources. In conversations with POLITICO on Tuesday, several AP staffers in Washington, D.C., described feelings of anger and frustration…
Fear and loathing inside the Associated Press…
Just imagine how those pro-Israeli Jewish groups feel, or those people daring to put ‘Patriot’ in their name.. Just imagine how PRO PUBLICA now feels having to admit they were given information that they never should have…
