Nothing More to Say Other Than, Damn Straight Harvard!!

From KTAR NEWS    PHOENIX -- Arizona is the most corruption-ridden state in the nation, a Harvard study said. According to the Harvard study said Arizona had the highest instance of illegal corruption -- "private gains in the form of cash or gifts by a government official, in exchange for providing specific benefits to private individuals or groups" -- when surveying nearly 1,000 reporters. To determine the most corrupt states, the authors had reporters rank the instances they see illegal corruption in the different branches of government on a one (least) to five (most) scale. Arizona did not fare well in any ranking, especially the executive and legislative branches, where reporters said they see "very high" instances of corruption. The study came years after several Arizona lawmakers admitted to accepting gifts from the Fiesta Bowl, ultimately leading the bowl to ban gifts for legislators and fire CEO John Junker .

A very well framed video on the issues of Free Speech. This won't help you in court because the courts do whatever they want and protect the police departments at all costs.  This is why African American's are so fearful of being pulled over, they can be shot and killed and the courts will turn a blind eye.  Very distasteful and laden with corruption although I have seen a minute change in the termination actions of some police departments who are now terminating bad cops!  The Chief of the Phoenix Police Department recently terminated two officers which I expect will result in Federal Civil Rights lawsuits as plaintiffs and defendant's to examine the legal justification of the stops, as well as the terminations!  More on this in another separate post.

Breonna Taylor should have awakened in her home, as usual, on the morning of March 13, 2020. Tragically, she did not. She was just 26 years old. As Attorney General Garland just stated, today’s indictments allege that Louisville Police Detective Joshua Jaynes and Sergeant Kyle Meany drafted and approved what they knew was a false affidavit to support a search warrant for Ms. Taylor’s home. That false affidavit set in motion events that led to Ms. Taylor’s death when other LMPD officers executed that warrant. The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution ensures that people are subject to searches only when there is probable cause supporting a search warrant. Falsified warrants create unnecessary hazards for the public a...
