Protesters sue Seattle, claim they need ‘expensive’ protective gear to safely protest

A lawsuit filed Monday against the city of Seattle argues protesters’ constitutional rights have been violated by the police department’s “indiscriminate” use of chemical and less-lethal crowd control tactics, which have forced demonstrators to buy “expensive” protective gear in order to safely bring their message against police brutality to the streets. “Because the Seattle Police Department has acted above and outside the law in dispensing its unbridled force, and the City has failed to prevent same, the government effect is to establish a de facto protest tax,” the lawyers wrote. “Individual protesters subjected to SPD’s unabated and indiscriminate violence now must purchase cost-prohibitive gear to withstand munitions – even when peacefully protesting – as a condition to exercising their right to free speech and peaceable assembly.” The suit, filed on behalf of five protesters who attended the July 25 protest on Capitol Hill that police later declared a riot, seeks an…

Shipments of nearly 20,000 fake driver's licenses seized at Chicago airport so far in 202

dvances in technology may have made counterfeiting more difficult but crooks keep finding a way to stay in business. In fact, federal customs officers have seized 1,513 shipments from overseas containing fraudulent documents—19,888 counterfeit U.S. driver's licenses—just at Chicago O'Hare International Airport this year through the end of June. Most of the shipments came from Hong Kong and mainland China, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Other shipments came from South Korea and the U.K. "These counterfeit driver's licenses can lead to disastrous consequences," CBP's Ralph Piccirilli said in a statement.

Black critics, lawmakers shred billionaire liberal Oprah Winfrey as a fraud and more after she bizarrely encourages white people to admit racism

Black critics and lawmakers alike castigated Oprah Winfrey for a video that went viral Tuesday. The video, part of Winfrey's series "The Oprah Conversation," featured the namesake host encouraging white guests to admit to their racism and insisting that all white people have a "leg up" because of their skin color. The latest episode of the AppleTV+ series, which featured activist and former NFL player Emmanuel Acho, spoke with white guests about topics such as whiteness, white privilege, and racism. And now why is Oprah, maybe the richest black woman in the world, trying to shame white people as privileged? Miss Winfrey, you are the personification of WHITE PRIVILEGE!— Irene Armendariz-Jackson (@ArmendarizDis16) August 4, 2020 Billionaire Oprah lectures the rest of us:"You still have your whiteness. That's what the term 'white privilege' is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter.”What utter, racist BS. https://t.co/02PADVJkrZ— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) August…

MS-13 Members and Associates Arrested for Sex Trafficking a Minor

Eleven members or close associates of the MS-13 gang were arrested this week relating to the sexual exploitation and physical abuse of a minor in northern Virginia and Maryland. “Sex traffickers often prey upon the most vulnerable victims in our society, and when combined with the horrific abuses of a gang like MS-13, the effects can be devastating,” said G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “I have personally handled the prosecution of MS-13 members in northern Virginia for over a decade, including for gang-controlled sex trafficking, and I have led meaningful outreach efforts with the Hispanic community in order to raise public awareness of these serious threats. As I’ve noted before, no one suffers more at the hands of MS-13 than other individuals of Central American birth or ancestry, and cases like this are proof of the need for community leaders to step up, acknowledge this reality, and work together to be part of the solution. I want to…

Facebook Removes Post By President Trump For The First Time

It’s become very obvious in the last couple of weeks that Twitter had planned to censor the president based on the information that he was sharing that they disagreed with. However, many individuals saw Facebook as being a good alternative when the social media platform said that it was going to stand up for free speech with regards to politicians who are running for office. However, they abandon that practice on Wednesday when they removed a post from President Trump. They were moved to post a video clip from him appearing on Fox News when he was interviewed and when she said that children are “almost immune.” This is the first time in history that Facebook has ever taken anything down from the president for violating its policies and Community standards. A spokeswoman for the company said that the reason the post was removed is because it violates the company’s policy surrounding misinformation on the covid-19 pandemic. “This video includes false claims that a group of people is…

Three Teens With Loaded mini AK-47 Jump the Fence At Mar-a-Lago

Three teenagers fleeing police while carrying a semiautomatic gun in a backpack jumped a wall at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, but probably didn't know that's where they were, authorities said Wednesday. Palm Beach Police spokesman Michael Ogrodnick said the 15-year-old boys were arrested shortly after they entered the grounds of the resort Friday and dumped the backpack, which contained a mini AK-47 with a loaded 14-round magazine. He said the three are lucky that neither the president nor any family members were there, because Secret Service agents might have shot them. The club is closed for the summer. “They had no idea where they were,” Ogrodnick said. According to a police report, a Palm Beach officer spotted the teens sitting in a parked car early Friday morning about 2 miles (3 kilometers) north of Mar-a-Lago. When he turned on his overhead lights, the car sped south toward Mar-a-Lago. As they approached the club, the teens spotted a second officer who was…

Woke Taliban Blacklist ‘Kindergarten Cop’ from Oregon Screening

The Woke Taliban at the NW Film Center have blacklisted Kindergarten Cop (1990) from a scheduled screening after a local author whined about it being problematic. The original idea had been to include the Arnold Schwarzenegger hit in a summer drive-in festival. The movie, where Arnold plays a cop who goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher, was filmed in Oregon and the festival chose it “for its importance in Oregon filmmaking history.” But then a shrill wokester named Lois Leveen, a local Portland writer who has since locked her Twitter account (Fox News has the tweets), went off on a crazed Twitter-rant demanding the movie be blacklisted from the festival. “What’s so funny about School-to-Prison pipeline? Kindergarten Cop-Out: Tell @nwfilmcenter there’s nothing fun in cops traumatizing kids. National reckoning on overpolicing is a weird time to revive Kindergarten Cop. IRL, we are trying to end school-to-prison pipeline,” Leveen shrieked.   read more here:…

Michelle Obama: Trump Administration Hypocrisy Giving Me ‘Low-Grade Depression’

Wednesday, on her new podcast former first lady Michelle Obama, said she is “dealing with some form of low-grade depression,” because of the quarantine, racial strife, and “seeing this administration, watching the hypocrisy of it, day in and day out.” Obama said, “I’m waking up in the middle of the night, cause I’m worrying about something, or there’s a heaviness. I try to make sure I get a workout in, although there have been periods throughout this quarantine, where I just have felt too low. You know, I’ve gone through those emotional highs and lows that I think everybody feels, where you just don’t feel yourself, and sometimes there’s been a week or so where I had to surrender to that, and not be so hard on myself. And say, you know what, you’re just not feeling that treadmill right now.” read more here: https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/08/05/michelle-obama-trump-administration-hypocrisy-giving-me-low-grade-depression/
