So called independant media shouldn't be allowed to carry the name because it censors news items which aren't left wing enough for it. Rather than debate or carry them anyway all the "Independant"(sic) media people can do is delete it and crush all debate.
Nice one! You've revealed your true colours as COMMIE media not INDIE media
now heres the article again, to balance out some of the biased and lie-ridden distortions that have been carried on this newswire
The railroading of Officer Jeremy Morse!

On July 6, Inglewood, Calif. Police Officer Jeremy Morse was videotaped placing teenager Donovan Jackson onto the trunk of a patrol car and punching him one time after the teenager grabbed the officer in the groin area.
On July 6, Inglewood, Calif. Police Officer Jeremy Morse was videotaped placing teenager Donovan Jackson onto the trunk of a patrol car and punching him one time after the teenager grabbed the officer in the groin area. Within days, civil rights activists, community leaders, politicians and protestors amassed on the streets of Inglewood demanding that Officer Morse be fired and immediately jailed before investigations into the incident had barely begun. In addition, unfounded allegations of racism and police brutality ran rampant and the threat of another L.A. riot loomed when shouts of "no justice, no peace" rang out from the protestors.
As you may have noticed, the press and news organizations were very biased and unfair to the police officers involved. The videotape was shown repeatedly, but hardly ever put into context with the entire incident. The incident was inaccurately portrayed as a "beating" and "pummelling" and irresponsibly compared to the Rodney King incident. This type of inflammatory coverage did nothing but incite the anger of many people and literally put the police officers personal safety in jeopardy. This is inexcusable.
As a result of this unwarranted behavior, Officer Morse is being charged with assault under the color of authority for which he faces a one to three year jail term and a $10,000 fine, he is listed as one of many defendants in a blatantly inflated civil rights lawsuit, he has been fired by the Inglewood Police Department and it still has yet to be determined if he will be federally prosecuted for civil rights violations. Read more about the railroading of Officer Morse . . .
At the recent trial, the judge declared a mis-trial as the jury findings were 5 not guilty and 7 guilty. Note that one juror had initially voted not guilty, but had been swayed to vote guilty. To reward "the community" for not breaking the law (i.e. rioting), the LA DA is re-trying Jeremy Morse. The evidence presented at the trial disproves that Jeremy Morse's actions were criminal. But "the community" is still demanding that this innocent police officer be jailed and the DA is allowing "the community" to call the shots.
Officer Bijan Darvish has been charged with filing a false police report simply for stating that officers "assisted Jackson to his feet and had him stand facing the police vehicle." If you look at the tape, you will see Officer Darvish looking down at the time Donovan Jackson was placed on the trunk of the patrol car. For the ommission of something that he did not actually witness, Officer Darvish also faces a one to three year jail term. He is also listed as one of the defendants in the civil rights lawsuit and the Inglewood Police Department has recommended that he be suspended. Note: Officer Darvish has been found not guilty as charged.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that a police officer has been the victim of the judicial system caving into pressures and threats applied by certain special interest groups and it will not be the last.
Under no circumstances should the fate of a police officer, or the policies that govern them be determined by a small group of people and certainly not by a mob of angry protestors. The decisions that are made regarding police officers affect each and every one of us. It should not be up to these types of individuals to mandate how police officers do their jobs. It will further jeopardize the safety of police officers, thereby jeopardizing the safety of each and every one of us.
It cannot be emphasized enough that the fate of these officers should not rest in the hands of an angry mob, but in the hands of a fair and decent judicial system that will not allow the threat of another riot in L.A. determine the outcome of their trial.
There are many people eager to stand up and criticize the many fine men and women that work in law enforcement. While it is true that some bad people do end up in a police uniform, that too can be said about people in just about every profession. Why then should we assume that all police officers are bad just because some of them are guilty of innappropriate behavior? The answer is that we should not. There are too many good and decent people working in law enforcement to consider them all bad based on the inappropriate behavior of a few.
We need to remember that police officers are in a very precarious position each and every day of their lives. We need to be fair and open minded when a police officer is being accused of excessive force or when we question their use of lethal force. It is their well-being and their very lives that are on the line and we should allow the appropriate investigations to take their course as opposed to judging them based on what we hear, or see for that matter, on the news. What is happening to Officers Morse and Darvish is an example of what happens when people rush to judgement based on insufficient evidence and when the judicial system caves into threats and political pressure.
Recently, Jesse Jackson likened police officers accused of "police brutality" to "terrorists" and "militia" Al Sharpton has likened the shooting of Amadou Diallo to a firing squad. It has gotten to the point where almost every shooting or use of force has turned into a case of "police brutality" regardless of the fact that the officers life was in danger or there was a threat of bodily harm. It?Ĵs time for regular citizens to stand up against such nonsensical rhetoric. Most police officers deserve our respect and gratitude and these comments are disrespectful and dangerous. People have enough to fear in today's world without being led to believe that the police are the enemy. They are not. In most cases, the only people that have any reason to fear the police are the people that are breaking the law.
In addition to addressing the current issue of the Inglewood incident, the purpose of this website will be to share information about various topics such as cases where police officers have been wrongfully convicted or charged, police brutality (is it as rampant as we are being led to believe?), racial profiling (truth or myth?), the many good things that police officers do for our communities and for our country and other issues which may be of interest to both law enforcement personnel and regular citizens.
