A group of people were blocking traffic to race along U.S. 321 around 4:30 p.m. in Newton Sunday. Troopers said they were creating hazardous conditions for other drivers. The video, which was shot by Carisa Lynn, has been widely shared on social media. “Just freaked out,” Lynn told WSOC. “It was crazy. It was very dangerous.” Lynn said she believes the trooper put more people at risk by the way he responded to the reported street racing. “Street racing isn’t what you should be doing, but it was more reckless in my opinion of the police officer to be driving the way he was driving, in general, to pull over some people racing,” Lynn said. As many as 10 BMWs were involved in the street racing bust, WSOC reports. Highway Patrol has impounded five of those vehicles. Multiple people face charges that include prearranged speed racing, careless and reckless driving and impeding traffic.

Tim Gaul from the 2016 arrest of Anthony Promvongsa, according to the ACLU of Minnesota, which released the video June 22, 2017, in alleging excessive force by another officer in the arrest.
According to the criminal complaint, Worthington Police Officer Colby Palmersheim was driving his squad car when Promvongsa pulled up behind him "at a high rate of speed. Promvongsa was so close that Palmersheim could not see the hood of Promvongsa's vehicle."
"I had no idea what was going on when I was approached and attacked by this officer,” Promvongsa said in a statement. “I did not even have the opportunity to take off my seatbelt before I was literally blindsided with this unnecessary attack. I immediately pulled over for the Worthington squad car and before I knew what was happening I was beat and ripped from my vehicle."Dominos Driver Rams Into Police Cruiser - Driver TasedCop Block2017-06-22 | A 20-year-old Brevard County man was arrested Saturday after Cocoa police said he tried multiple times to ram one of their officers.Dashcam video of the deadly shooting of Philando CastileCop Block2017-06-21 | It took only 40 seconds for an ordinary traffic stop to turn deadly -- from a police officer saying "Hello, sir" to him firing seven shots at a seated motorist.

Nathan — founder of Virginia Cop Block — filmed the stop, filed a FOIA request, and put it all online. Two years later, Nathan received a summons to appear in court — McKenney claimed he had engaged in “defamation.” That suit — for $5,000 — was dismissed. McKenney then filed a second suit — for $1.35 million. After almost three years of court proceedings, that second suit was tossed as well, but Nathan is now left with about $94,000 in legal fees.

That statement, made by economist Edward Stringham during his conversation with Anarchast host Jeff Berwick, is telling.
Perhaps it's not too fantastical for readers of CopBlock.org, who are intimately familiar with endless examples of police employee aggression. And maybe it's not even too surprising for others who are starting to see through the thin blue line propaganda. But for those who still unthinkingly parrot the mantra that a stranger with a badge is automatically a "hero," it should be a wake up call.
The perspective put-forth by Stringham is being reinforced by the efforts of Fatal Encounters, who have already documented over 18,000 people killed by U.S. police since 2000. Review the details, sign-up for their emails, and donate to help their efforts, at http://FatalEncounters.org.
The first step to change this situation is education. That's why Stringham's comments and the work of the Fatal Encounters team are cited here.
As an aside, Stringham edited a superb book called Anarchy and the Law: The Political Economy of Choice. A collection of essays that present various viewpoints on issues of law, security, and protection, I found the content thought-provoking.

Often used to describe a new weapon or bit of actionable intel in military theater, in this case, the force multiplier is Andrew "The Drewks" Henderson, and his aim is police accountability and personal liberty. After witnessing the rights-violation of another person at the hands of St. Paul police employees Henderson realized the importance of filming. Not satisfied with utilizing that tactic himself, he has actively shared it with hundreds throughout the Twin Cities. Through know-your-rights and Copwatch workshops, literature outreach and court support, Henderson has undoubtedly had a positive impact in the Twin Cities. In this video he recounts some of his experiences, details his personal motivations, and gives a message to current police employees.

I wanted share a bit about our experience, particularly as it relates to police employees, because I haven't seen much similar content online.
There is no perfect place, free from tyranny. Indeed, could there be “good” without “bad”? But things are relative and the more we can move to a world where equal justice is the norm, not special justice for some, the better we'll all be.
As much as you can, live not according the complex and illogical dictates from strangers in a far-away domed building, but in accord with your own conscience. In doing so, you have the ability to attain something not contingent on your geographical location: internal peace. One mind at a time – that is how we diminish the police state and create a world more conducive to human flourishing.

Being caged can be a trying time. Isolated. Cold. Constrained. If you consider Deo a friend, if you appreciate his efforts, or if you're just now learning of his situation, you're welcome to send him some love, via a letter, if you have the time and interest:
Douglas Odolecki Parma Detention Center 5555 Powers Blvd Parma, OH 44129
And, if you have the time, feel free to contact Deo's captors at the Parma Police Outfit (440.887.7300 and on Twitter @ParmaPolice). Ask them if they personally stand by the unjust caging of a peaceful person who was not even accused of violating the rights of another. Ask them when they will side with truth and reason and speak out publicly about Deo's treatment. Feel free to consult the links below for more background.

So tonight, when I saw through the window of an Indian eatery some road pirate activity, I ventured onto the sidewalk to document and ask questions.
It was pretty much a business-as-usual incident. The traveler was given a ransom note despite the fact that he had caused no victim. And unsurprisingly, the person who initiated the stop – Wood, #116 of the Manchester Police Outfit – was unable to identify any victim.
Unfortunately, this type of "legal" shake-down has happened thousands of times today within the political boundaries of the USSA. But that doesn't make it just. Indeed, it is the exact opposite. Once one sees through the charade of protection at the barrel of a gun, real alternatives can be sought and implemented.

Douglas "Deo" Odolecki is now caged in Parma, Ohio. Though he's surrounded by people who deem themselves "upholders of justice" it is Deo who is on the correct side of justice. To be clear, Deo is not guilty of aggression against person or property. He is caged because he sought to introduce transparency into the actions of his captors. To make aggression less likely. But, like all bullies, those at the Parma police outfit weren't fond of others realizing the true nature of their actions: coercion, extortion, control. So they, in concert with their friends in legaland, told Deo that he had to spend 240 days behind bars. Shame on them. And on their colleagues who know full-well what's going on and who have yet to speak out.

And on their colleagues who know full-well what's going on and who have yet to speak out.
Being caged can be a trying experience. Often doubts and the inability to execute actions thought desirable (from what to eat to how to allocate ones' time) can weigh heavily. So, I took a moment, wrote a letter to Deo and decided to share it with you. Hell, we all know his captors will read it, so why not make it public? My true motivation is two-fold. Firstly, to explicitly state to Deo that he should hold his head high knowing that his actions were guided by his love of fellow man. And secondly, to inform others of his situation. Perhaps some of whom decide to send a note to Deo. And also, to perhaps help some see this situation for what it is: yet another example of the injustice built into the "justice system" which, despite lofty promises and oaths to the contrary, seeks to protect it's perceived legitimacy first and foremost. We can do better.

But who, or what is "the State" and can an idea really be victimized?
Hopefully, through non-confrontational dialogue such as portrayed in this video, Gravel and colleagues around the globe think about their involvement obeying the orders of others. And realize, that it is they who act, and thus who are responsible, not text on paper.
