Florida Judge Blocks Paper From Publishing Video Showing Deputies Killing An Inmate
from the keeping-the-public-blissfully-ignorant dept
Wed, Oct 9th 2024 10:58am - Tim Cushing
Call a right “enshrined” all you want, but if a judge decides it’s better to protect law enforcement officers from their own actions than to allow the public to view killings performed in the name of “public safety,” the public gets nothing. Neither do the people serving the public and providing them with information, like the Ocala Gazette, which was recently hit with an order forbidding them from publishing a jailhouse video it had legally obtained.
In 2022, Marion County (Florida) deputies killed Scott Whitley, a mentally ill inmate, during a furious bout of excessive force deployment.
Here’s how the Ocala Gazette described what reporters saw on the jailhouse video:
The guards managed to get him face down on the ground, get a hold of his arms and legs, and continue to tase him. Whitley was no longer resisting them, but continued to scream “please,” and asked the guards to stop tasing him.
About two minutes passed and the guards continued to attempt to put Whitley into handcuffs while they deployed tasers

The Murder of Vince Foster: America's Would-Be Dreyfus Affair Paperback – September 24, 2020
by David Martin
In the case of the conviction and imprisonment of Captain Alfred Dreyfus on false espionage charges in late-19th century France, the initially small number of people who doubted the government and the press and worked for justice for Captain Dreyfus were known as "Dreyfusards." Doubt about the official version of the story of how President Bill Clinton's deputy White House Counsel Vincent W. Foster, Jr., died was also confined to a few individuals in the early days, at least among those who would speak up. By the terminology borrowed from France, David Martin was an original "Dreyfusard." In time, he was joined by people with a higher profile, but after Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's team rendered its long-delayed opinion that the original "suicide" judgment had been correct, most of them dropped by the wayside. Martin, who as a senior at Davidson College

Fifth Circuit Rejects Immunity Request From Lying Cop Who Shot Fleeing Person In The Back

The Fifth Circuit seems to love nothing more than creating more distance between cops and accountability. But, every so often, it finds a law enforcement member that even it is not willing to redeem. That’s how far Louisiana state trooper Kasha Domingue went off the rails in the incident leading to this lawsuit.
The ruling [PDF] also makes it clear Domingue had

Musk’s ‘Free’ Starlink For Helene Victims Wasn’t Free
from the decorative-pseudo-altruism dept
Thu, Oct 10th 2024 05:23am - Karl Bode
Last week I noted how Elon Musk saw fit to inject himself in the middle of the Helene hurricane disaster by falsely claiming that hurricane victims died because the FCC refused to give Starlink a billion dollars in subsidies. I explained at length why that claim was grotesque and incorrect, in part because the subsidies in question weren’t even slated to arrive until next year.
Most of the press didn’t bother to dissect Musk’s gross and false claim about subsidies, instead portraying him in coverage as single-handedly saving
