FORMER GOVERNOR JESSE VENTURA’S MINNESOTA SENATE TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT OF LEGALIZING CANNABIS
Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura testified in front of a Minnesota Senate Committee Thursday afternoon to support legalizing cannabis for adults. He told a story about how cannabis he obtained illegally at the time helped stop his wife’s chronic seizures and argued that the legal age to consume cannabis should be the same as the age required to enlist in the military
 
   
Matthew Sickler, 35 NJ SHERIFF'S OFFICER POINTED GUN AT WOMAN'S HEAD, THREATENED TO KILL HER: AUTHORITIES
A New Jersey sheriff's officer is facing charges for allegedly pointing a gun at a woman's head and threatening to kill her last week. But is this just another case of a "few bad apples"? I don't think so. Technology such as cameras, cell phones, and social media has debunked that overused and expedient phrase. That "bad apple" excuse can no longer defend police against violent misconduct. And it's no longer just about systemic racism either. While it's true that police killings and misconduct disproportionately affect black and Latino people, the problems with modern policing pose a risk to everyone of every race.

OHIO COPS BULLY AND ARREST REPORTER ON LIVE TV
NewsNation reporter Evan Lambert is arrested after reporting live during a news conference in Ohio. Lambert had been giving a live update on a toxic chemical train derailment involving the release of these chemicals. There are some claims by police that when Lambert finished his report he then criticized the cops. In other words the police apparently got their feelings hurt and were more concerned about soothing their own egos than upholding constitutional rights. These Ohio cops escalated and took Lambert out of the room and went Hands-On. Legal experts say the charges are absurd and that a prosecutor sooner or later will almost certainly drop the charges. The fact is as the governor said reporting from a news conference is not a crime and criticizing police to their face is also not a crime. In a case like this there are grounds for a civil lawsuit against the police given that the cops actions and detention in Mr Lambert were unlawful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmBGmDELd8A
   

Letters By Attorney William Sosis on 5G Technology to New Jersey State Bar Association and Town of Mansfield
Attorney William Sosis sent legal letters on 5G Technology to the New Jersey State Bar Association and the Town of Mansfield detailing the health, privacy and legal issues of 5G technology.
“The boost that 5G technology will give to intrusions on privacy rights and civil liberties is astronomical. The collection and processing of big data through existing and new devices connected to the Internet-of-Things[38] will allow telecoms and utility companies more access to people’s private information. It is common sense that telecoms and utility companies will monetize this personal data.[39] They will know what people are doing in their homes, when they’re doing it, and how often they do it. They will provide this data to law enforcement and sell it to third parties. They will inundate the public with targeted advertising, promotions, use predictive analytics for knowing what people will buy, which prices to raise or lower and which products to make.”

Video of Tyre Nichols beating leaves unanswered questions - MarketWatch TYRE NICHOLS’S DEATH RAISES HARD QUESTIONS ABOUT RACE AND POLICING - By Gerard Baker
One understandable but inadequate take on the killing of Tyre Nichols is the idea that we should feel some satisfaction that justice works. Five police officers beat a young black man to a pulp, rendering him lifeless on the street and he dies three days later. The men are all quickly fired, arrested and charged with murder. Thus, the panglossian says, the majesty of the law at work. Awful as it was, there is no larger lesson here beyond man’s unending capacity for inhumanity to man. A terrible crime is committed, quickly investigated and resolved, and the wheels of justice are swiftly set in motion.
A City of San Francisco police officer issues a citation in San Francisco on June 16, 2020.  THESE CITIES ARE LIMITING TRAFFIC STOPS FOR MINOR OFFENSES
Police have killed over 600 people during traffic stops in the last five years with black drivers disproportionately falling victim to these deadly Encounters. This is not Public Safety and it doesn't have to be this way and police officers with guns and tasers should be removed from low-level traffic enforcement immediately. Do we really need them issuing traffic tickets? Some cities like Los Angeles and Philadelphia have introduced laws and policy changes aiming to drastically reduce the number of pullovers from minor traffic offenses which too often result in unnecessary escalation and deadly violence. Tyree Nichols is remembered as a kind joyful 29 year old with a love of family and skateboarding and a passion for photography his senseless killing at the hands of Memphis Police is yet another tragic example of a traffic stop turned deadly. He should still be alive along with Dante Wright, Philandro Castile, Walter Scott, Sam Dubose and too many black Americans to name who've been killed by police following a traffic stop for something as meaningless as a broken tail light, an expired license tag, or an air freshener hanging from a rearview mirror. All of our communities should take note and work to end police involvement in traffic stops for good - Robert Reich - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-02/police-traffic-stops-...
JUDGE ORDERS STATE TO RELEASE INFORMATION ABOUT POLICE USE OF BABY BLOOD SPOTS
This is a phenomenal victory by Attorney CJ Griffin! But its ramifications go far beyond prosecuting suspects by linking their blood type to their children. It can also be misused to prejudice new born children. Predictive policing methods already exist in several states. Police can now use the genetic material contained in blood to forecast criminal behavior. In a 2000 study by the U.S. Department of Justice, "genetic factors represent one source of influence on criminal behavior and that additional genetic research may contribute to crime and violence prevention efforts."[1] This is the kind of hocus-pocus that's existed since the 1700s.[2]

BEN CRUMP - THE PROBLEM WITH POLICING IN AMERICA | THE DAILY SHOW
"How can you feel in fear of your life when the person is running away from you?" Attorney Ben Crump discusses why the quick arrest of the officers in the Tyre Nichols case should be the blueprint moving forward, why people need to stop justifying unnecessary killings by the police, and whether or not there is incentive to reform policing.

COP TEXTED PHOTOS OF BATTERED TYRE NICHOLS TO FIVE PEOPLE
One of the cops charged with the murder of Mr Tyree Nichols sent photographs of his lifeless body to multiple people. Former police officer Demetrius Haley admitted he shared the photo in a text message with several people: one civilian employee and two MPD officers and one female acquaintance. The memo goes on to say a sixth person was later found to have received the same photograph. Haley apparently sent the photographs to individuals that he wanted to brag with about his "trophy",  which happens to be an unarmed black male that presented no threat. Haley took the murder of Tyre Nichols as an opportunity to send text messages to people who he believed would find amusement from a body beaten, bloody, on the ground. That's sick!

ATTORNEY BENJAMIN CRUMP DETAILS TYRE NICHOLS' DEATH, POLICE BRUTALITY
I don't know if the powers that be are ever going to concede that it's not about dumping more money into police budgets but rather expanding resources to try to heal communities. For example, establishing Mental Health Counselors, creating programs requiring interactions between law enforcement and the community before there's a tragedy or life or death situation. One of the biggest problems that I saw coming out of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act was that the Department of Justice (DOJ) still needs to keep statistics on police activities.  The DOJ must start forcing police departments to provide statistics if they expect to continue receiving federal funding.  This is the only power the federal government has over these states.  The DOJ needs to tell police departments across the country, "Before we give you the money, you must report every instance where you pull somebody over, what was the result of that stop, were any shots fired, did anyone claim their civil rights were violated, and was somebody killed.  We need to know the race and ethnicity of each of those people.

TYRE NICHOLS’ VIDEO IS ‘TOXIC POLICE CULTURE MANIFEST’ - SO WHY DID HE RUN?
We've seen so many of these [videos] that are so difficult to look at that we often miss the details of it...as they're telling him to get on his belly and lie flat, one officer is holding his right arm while the other is twisting the left arm in the opposite direction.  He would have had to struggle to get out of the grip of the officer's in order to lie flat. He was complying as much as his 140-pound body could against 5 grown men trained to engage in hand-to-hand combat.  He was then tased. It hurt because tasers hurt. And his body twitched. And the twitching gets him out of the officer's grasps. And he realizes that the thing that's hurting him is in his clothes, if he takes it off he can stop hurting. And so he runs away from the pain and the people who literally might be trying to murder him there on the ground...if you think that that is an unreasonable thing to do, I'm sorry but I don't care about your opinion because you are an unreasonable person. --- Philip Atiba Goff - Yale University
