Welcome to our readers from China

The Fairfax County Police already get $200,000,000 so what's another $250,000 for cop games?

The Fairfax County Board of supervisors wants to give the cops $250,000 for the  2015 Police Olympics-style games event....yeah....yeah, that's good...that's money well spent...yeah keep that up.......

So lets see, 1500 cops on the payroll, the police union "encourages" its membership to send in $20.00 each to candidates that pays the cops $250,000 for the 2015 Police Olympics-style games event and makes sure the contributions are in the cops names so nobody suspects anything......that's $300,000 ....if the cops can gather up that kind of money to pay off our representatives, why don't THE COPS PAY FOR the 2015 Police Olympics-style games event?

Murder

In a disturbing update New York NY police are being accused of lying about what happened when an undercover cop fatally shot an unarmed man who saw the officer attacking a neighbor. A lawyer for the man’s family claims that video and witness statements are contradicting police claims that the man choked the officer, instead he claims he positioned himself between the two men to stop the fighting when he was shot. That lawyer also claims that a female relative, who happens to be a nurse, was arrested and assaulted when she tried to stop the man’s bleeding. [5] bit.ly/oBH9M9

The family of Kelly Thomas, the man who died after severely beaten and tasered by 6 Fullerton CA cops, released medical records from the hospital staff who treated him which cites the cause of death as blunt force trauma resulting in brain damage. The release was done due to the incredibly slow investigation by the Orange County prosecutor and the apparent foot-dragging by that county’s coroner in releasing the results of his autopsy. The story is still getting a lot of coverage but KTLA appears to have the most details.
