FreakinDJ's JournalMan calls to report a burglary, deputy arrives and shoots his dog in the head
RAINS COUNTY, TX A man says that when he called police to report that his home had been burglarized, he waited hours for an officer to arrive only to witness his dog promptly being shot in the head by the responding deputy. He says when more backup arrived, they mocked and intimidated him with a taser.
On April 18th, Cole and Jayna Middleton discovered that their home had been broken into. Several items had been stolen, including the familys firearms. Mr. Middleton phoned the Rains County Sheriffs Office for help.
Mr. Middleton, a farmer and cattle rancher, tended his crops while waiting approximately 2.5 hours for a deputy to arrive and take a police report. Middletons father was in the pasture with him, along with the familys beloved pet and trusted cow-herder Candy. Candy was a 3-year-old Blue Heeler (also known as an Australian Cattle Dog) and weighed approximately 40 pounds. She was sitting in the back of a pickup truck as they worked.
When Rains County Deputy Jerred Dooley arrived, Middleton and his father both say they witnessed the deputy stick his head into the door of their house, which was nearly 40 yards away. Candy barked at the unknown stranger, hopped out of the truck and approached the house bark[ing] like all good dogs do, Middleton described.

The Day Free Speech Died : F.C.C., in a Shift, Backs Fast Lanes for Web Traffic
WASHINGTON The principle that all Internet content should be treated equally as it flows through cables and pipes to consumers looks all but dead.
The Federal Communications Commission said on Wednesday that it would propose new rules that allow companies like Disney, Google or Netflix to pay Internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon for special, faster lanes to send video and other content to their customers.
The proposed changes would affect what is known as net neutrality the idea that no providers of legal Internet content should face discrimination in providing offerings to consumers, and that users should have equal access to see any legal content they choose.
The proposal comes three months after a federal appeals court struck down, for the second time, agency rules intended to guarantee a free and open Internet.

Police beat up entire wedding party, ruin pro baseball player’s career
After causing a gaping head wound, bruises, hair pulled out, a broken nose, and pepper spray on numerous individuals, the only reprimand any of the officers received was a paperwork violation. Interestingly, none of the 3 dozen cops reported any use of force.
An event that should have been happy and memorable turned into violence and chaos when the Galveston Police got involved. A couple had just exchanged their vows and were celebrating with friends and family at the San Luis Hotel.
Everything was fine until an off-duty police officer thought that he had witnessed the brides brother, Daniel Cole OBalle, 19, walking outside with an alcoholic beverage in his hand. Suspecting an under-aged adult had consumed a beverage without government permission, and violated the open container prohibition law, he phoned the police department for backup.

Police don’t feel like cuffing unarmed man, shoot him dead instead
DAndre Berghardt had been walking down the highway trying to hitch a ride when police approached him. His behavior was erratic, and eventually he tried to climb inside a police vehicle at which point he was shot dead.
There was an assault rifle inside the vehicle, and police couldnt take the chance that he would reach for it, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
What is baffling to people who watched the video, however, is the fact that the cops didnt restrain Berghardt when they had the chance.

Just did my taxes and I feel ashamed
The more I make the less I pay
I'm fretting getting a return of what some people would call their annual. Its just plain wrong that with my position in life where a home healthcare, retirement are not of a concern because I have all those - the people struggling to get by - whom don't even make enough to worry about those things
PAY A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THEIR EARNINGS TOWARDS TAXES then I do
Don't get me wrong - I was there once - I know the reality of what its like living check to check, working tons of over time and still having to make decisions "Rent or Food" or my children wanting new clothes for school or even something nice to open on Christmas morning
Its just not right and I'll be the first to say it
The Rich are Fucking America
