| Excessive Force By Marines AllegedAfghan Report on Killings of Civilians Is Called Consistent With U.In addition to the 12 Afghans killed, including at least two women, 35 were wounded, and one Marine was injured by shrapnel.Scott Miller, a spokesman for the command.Our investigation shows that the attacks took place in several different locations and it was just shooting without making sure who the targets were.Nadery said his organization turned a draft of the report over to U.Nadery said the Taliban are responsible for more serious incidents of civilian deaths in Afghanistan, especially over the past five months, when there have been at least 20 suicide bombings and executions of people who have been kidnapped.But, he said, the incident appears to show that the Marines went beyond what was necessary.The counterattack has some parallels to the alleged shootings of civilians in Haditha, Iraq, in November 2005.Marines were charged with unpremeditated murder after they allegedly gunned down a group of college students who were ordered out of their car immediately after a bomb went off.Michael Turner, a spokesman for Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command at Camp Lejeune, N.View all comments that have been posted about this article.Please review the full rules governing commentaries and discussions.You are fully responsible for the content that you

in 1991, followed by the album Conquer Your World.After this release, McCoy had no more involvement in Excessive Force, which went on to become exclusively a KMFDM side project.In 1993, Excessive Force released the single Blitzkrieg followed by the album Gentle Death.The band is also credited with remixes on the KMFDM singles "Light" and "MDFMK".Sascha has dismissed the possibility of reforming Excessive Force referring to it as "a one off that turned into a two off."However in a recent radio interview he has discussed the possibility of collaborating with Andy LaPlegua of Combichrist, Panzer Ag, and Icon of Coil on a new Excessive Force album.He also noted that there is a Canadian white supremacist band that uses the same name.Excessive Force tracks are notable for their recycling of the same lyrical phrases, many of which are referenced in the 1996 KMFDM song "Power".Excessive Force back catalog, slated for November 6, 2007.All text is available under the terms

on some level, the police who shot out acted from an instinct that the victims' dark skin signaled guilt and danger.Though the lives of victims like Amadou Diallou or Sean Bell are lost to us forever, their deaths must serve as a call to reform a broken and racially biased system of law enforcement.The NAACP is committed to a proactive approach to police shootings and all other forms of police brutality.American officers believe that community policing is effective in reducing police abuse of authority.Prosecution: Cases of police brutality must be prosecuted with a better record of success and the code of silence that protects officers who abuse their authority must be challenged.Developing a conscious awareness of bias will inform better decision making in moments of crisis.Intervention: A small number of officers are responsible for a disproportionate share of uses of excessive force.Don't wait for the next victim.The use of force by the police has long been a contentious issue.Patrick Reynolds, assistant director of the School of Criminal Justice, explains the measures taken to combat the use of excessive force.Without a doubt, the most controversial issue in American policing is the use of force by police officers.On too many occasions, we have seen newspaper headlines reporting that an individual has been brutalized or, worse yet, killed by the police.In the vast majority of confrontations requiring the use of force, officers respond in a professional nature and utilize force that is justified.Police organizations have gone to great lengths to minimize the number of instances where officers employ excessive force.Copyright 2006 Fairleigh Dickinson University.Meyer: Tasering or grandstanding?PJM ROUNDUP: Videos posted on the Internet Tuesday show police shocking a Florida university student with an electric stun gun during a speech by US Senator John Kerry, prompting the former presidential candidate to express regret over the incident.Such unreasonable and excessive force might be hard for some to believe unless they saw it with their own eyes.University of Florida, Meyer was attacked by five police officers, manhandled and tasered.He was escorted from the mic for going on too long, as per the rules of the event, and for generally being a pest.The whole "inciting a riot" excuse that the campus security used also seems rather absurd.When will libruls understand free speech and stop wetting their panties over non issues.But there was no need to taser the guy.The police should be fired.Do you think that poses less risk of injury than a taser?The cops did exactly the right thing and they are being treated like criminals, that is the real story here.Putting a blu uni on an undersized woman doesn't make her a street fighter.The way to get a guy to come quietly is to be bigger and stronger.Saw a couple of female cops trying to arrest a guy who was drunk and disorderly in a bar.Unable to just shove her away, one of them had to sap her.He was arrested for not cooperating with the cops.Do what you're told, put your hands behind your back and save your arguments for court.Not only did this punk deserve to be tasered, they should have used their batons and pepper spray on him as well.Freedom of speech is a very precious right.However, it belongs to all.No one has the right to cut in front of the line.Whenever an individual in a free society shows that they have no respect for the rights and freedoms of others, they have returned to a state of nature, which in this context we shall call anarchy.He was a pretty tall athletic looking kid.Wow, so much fuss over nothing.The obnoxious spoilt baby deserved a reprimand.If this guy had something positive to do with his life instead of asking stupid questions of a fool like Kerry, none of this would have happened.Most officers I know carry tasers and firearms.If you don't understand my point, ask yourself this question: Would a taser have stopped the VTech gunman?NO evidence the student acted in an unlawful manner.The police have NO right to intervene unless material cause exists.This was a university setting.If he reacts on a small issue like this, I don't want to know what he does with people who get a parking ticket.The student didn't do anything harmful, he didn't attack anyone.Is that the kind of free speech the US is proud of?The officers just came across as too lazy to do their jobs.Daniel Drezner

Roger L.Last night, I witnessed a classic example of excessive force being used against a shoplifter.The scene played out in front of a nationally known grocery store in San Francisco.The Wrong Approach
The shoplifter exited the store and was heading toward the parking lot.The shoplifter was in obvious pain from the fall and was bleeding profusely from his head, arm, and neck.With an obvious display of anger, the security guard started to manhandle the shoplifter in an attempt to take him into custody.The suspect was hollering for an ambulance and for the security guard to leave him alone.The guard began swearing at the suspect because he was unsuccessful in his attempt to get handcuffs on him.The storefront now was out of control.By now, store management had arrived and was trying to calm the hostile crowd and prevent them from attacking the brutal officer.The guard supervisor, who openly verbalized a fear of catching AIDS, ordered those officers covered with blood to immediately go inside and wash up.Immediately, eyewitnesses ran to the police cars volunteering to report the brutality of the security guards.The shoplifter actually appeared relieved that the police had arrived and took charge.It was apparent that the store security guards lacked training and supervision.If a lawsuit is filed against the store, the Plaintiff lawyer will focus on the negligence and misconduct of the security guards rather than on the theft by the shoplifter.Merchants and loss prevention practitioners should view this report as a training exercise and cause you to review your shoplifter apprehension procedures so this unfortunate circumstance does not happen at your store. |
