Daily News @ http://RevolutionNews.US ~ Elvira Fernandez said she called police to teach her son respect after she caught him throwing things at the wall of her south Phoenix trailer.

Fearing the 29-year-old would hit her, she went to a neighbor's house to dial 911...

"Officer (name blackened) ducked the punch, and attempted to deliver an HPD approved strike to the approved target area. The defendant stepped forward at that moment moving his head into the strike path of the officer," according HPD's arrest report. "The suspect then fell, striking his head on the driveway."

In the face of budget cuts, Topeka county courts have stopped hearing marijuana possession and distribution cases. Oh, no, wait. They've stopped hearing domestic violence cases and are pondering repealing the domestic violence law entirely. TO SERVE AND PROTECT!

"An Oakland police officer who was fired after fatally shooting an unarmed drunken-driving suspect in the back has won his job back through arbitration, his attorney said Friday."

PHOENIX (CN) - A homeowner says a Phoenix police officer shot him six times in the back during a 911 home-invasion call, and the 911 tape recorded the officer's partner saying, "That's all right. Don't worry about it. I got your back. ... We clear?" The family says the officers were not aware that the 911 call was still recording as they spoke about covering up the shooting.

MASSAPEQUA, N.Y.  — A police officer was fatally shot by another officer after a confrontation with a knife-wielding man inside a home in a New York City suburb, authorities said Sunday. The suspect also was killed.

A 14-year-old boy shot and nearly killed an intruder who broke into his Phoenix home and pulled a gun on him while he was watching his three younger siblings, police said Saturday. The teen and his siblings, ages 8, 10 and 12, were at home alone when a woman rang the doorbell Friday afternoon, Phoenix police Officer James Holmes said. The teen didn’t open the door because he didn’t recognize the woman. Soon after, the teen heard a loud bang on the door, rushed his siblings upstairs and got a handgun from his parent’s bedroom.

I saw this news story on the Spanish news channel last night. It’s about a Spanish-language news anchor who was a victim of domestic violence. The news story focuses on her but the tape they played of the 911 call (that part is in English) is what I found enlightening. The 911 operator was absolutely abusive towards this woman who is calling for help because she was in fear for her life. This treatment is not that unusual, I can tell you. It seems to me you can’t count on 911 to rescue you like they’ve always told us to do. At least not without sarcasm, insensitivity and abuse.

A suburban Oregon police department is paying a local man $4,000 to settle a civil rights lawsuit in which he claimed he was pulled over for flipping off the cops in traffic.

Twice he saluted with his middle finger while driving, and was pulled over each time by a Clackamas County patrol officer, resulting in what he said was a tongue lashing and “bogus” citations that were later dismissed.
