Life is a Journey, Why Not Share it?

This is a hilariously bad training video…

Many of you may wonder what woman raised me… well here she is, in all her glory…

It is amazing how quick people are to forget the battle cry of the Republican party…

We need to push for REAL alternatives to Petroleum.

Support the cause, let the Republicans know that we are not going to help them build their wealth at the cost of society any longer… (Click Here)

I have never been to the Pacific Northwest, though I have always wanted to go. I’ve always thought of it as a bastion of educated free thinkers, people who love liberty, peace and freedom. Basically, I always thought it was the opposite of places like Arizona and Texas. But some recent news has made me rethink that. It seems a Seattle Police officer hit a woman in the face with a closed fist! That’s right, a cop PUNCHED an UNARMED woman who posed no threat. And why was the cop there? What was his reason for even bothering these citizens? Jay walking. That’s right, this was the first cop in history to actually enforce a law against jay walking. As I watched the video below I was sickened and made physically angry at this police officer’s actions.

Police Officer Viciously Punches Young Girl

My disgust is caused by several things. First off, who in their right mind would bother stopping someone for Jay walking? Is there that little crime in Seattle? If there is, it sounds like it’s time to trim the budget and let some cops go. Secondly, this cop proceeds to display a series of the least professional actions I have ever seen displayed by a uniformed official. Now let me explain, I am in the U.S. Military. I am a small arms instructor, a non-lethal weapons instructor, and a Force Protection / Law Enforcement expert. It’s what I do and I have been doing it for over a decade. I have trained with everyone from U.S. Army Special Forces to local Sheriffs, and I do not know of ANY organization that EVER trains their people to punch ANYONE when taking them into custody. That’s why he has pepper-spray. From what you can see in the video, these women are guilty of nothing more than being disorderly, and frankly, as Americans, that’s what we do, and we have every right to.

In the interest of being open and honest, I should also point out that I too have been arrested on quite a number of occasions in states from Mississippi to Massachusetts, almost always for disorderly conduct, or disrespecting a police officer, and I have NEVER been treated the way this cop treats this woman. I have also never been convicted, because it is not a crime to tell a cop to go to hell.

We have a real problem in this country. The local authorities are acting as if they have far more authority than they do. With Arizona demanding to see papers, and with cops all over the country losing their minds (here in Jacksonville the Sheriffs will taze you as fast as look at you), something needs to be done. I am OUTRAGED at the complicity of the crowd here! No one stood up to defend or protect these women from an unlawful assault. That’s why I rarely travel unarmed. I only WISH I could have happened by this scene, so that I could have put the pepper spray I keep in my truck to good use. That cop should have been pepper sprayed, tazed, beaten or otherwise stopped from assaulting that woman, then he should have been disarmed and restrained (with handcuffs or anything available) until some proper authorities were able to arrive on the scene. That woman should not have had to suffer.

This is a call to the citizens of this country to WAKE UP!

Stop the Brutality

If you allow the local authorities to control your lives, then the Federal Authorities will do the same. Our liberties are beingeroded from within, and we allow it to happen because we feel there is nothing we can do because they have the guns and uniforms. Well let me tell you, that uniform only has the authority that YOU, the citizen give it. You do NOT have to cooperate with police! You do NOT have to talk to police! And if they want to arrest you, they MUST tell you what you are being charged with. While I would say that you’d be ill advised to resist arrest, you need not worry much about unlawful arrest, most cops don’t possess terribly high IQs. They are neither lawyers not judges. You do not need to impress them or plead with them. If you are ever arrested, just keep your mouth shut, and go quietly. Police are easily defeated in court if you remain silent.

NEVER talk to a cop. They are not your friends. They cannot and will not help you. They WILL help convict you. Let your lawyer do your talking.

And by all means, if you see a woman being assaulted… by ANYONE. You should defend her. There were like five men standing around. One cop will not beat five men. But fear kept those men complacent. So sad. Would have been nice to see justice be served. Now we can only hope that the Police will fire or at least SEVERELY discipline that Officer. It’d be nice if he got some jail time like other women beaters do. If he doesn’t, then this is a sad shameful day to be an American.

If you want to express your outrage, write to the Seattle interim Chief of Police:

Interim Chief John Diaz

P.O. Box 34986

Let them know, that they are not the ones with the power, the citizens are!

A National Geographic photographer gets quite a surprise when a leopard seal takes pity on him and decides that since he is clearly the worst predator in the sea, she will teach him how to kill and eat penguins. This is absolutely amazing!

It’s funny and sad all at the same time…
