May 15, 2012 No Comments by

By now, everyone knows about the arrest of four East Haven police officers following a federal investigation into years of profiling and brutality.

Last week after Pres. Obama’s made his “evolution” on gay marriage public, my initial thought was: great, now they’re going to say that Obama is gay, and all gay people are now going to vote for him because of it. You know, pretty much in the same way all black people voted for him in [...]

Tennessee Cop “Robs” Out-Of-State Driver Of $22,000 After Traffic Stop

Apparently, in the state of Tennessee it’s perfectly legal to commit what’s known as highway robbery.
