lawenforcementtoday--2020-07-18--Man who led Black Lives Matter protest arrested on child pornography charges: held without bail

JACKSON , NH– Chris DeVries , 37 , of Jackson New Hampshire , who led the Black Lives Matter protests in New Hampshire last month , has been indicted on child pornography charges .
According to the Washington Examiner , DeVries led a protest back on June 21 called “ Skate Away the Hate , ” which encouraged participants to ride skateboards down a local highway to show support for the Black Lives Movement .
In a statement to the Conway Daily Sun , DeVries said : “ If we divest funds from police and prison systems , we can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to local communities and social services.
” At the protest , DeVries spoke through a bullhorn and listed off a number of demands that came from local chapters of Black Lives Matter .
According to Jackson Police Chief Chris Perley , DeVries has been charged with six counts of possessing child sexual abuse images , one count of possession of psilocybin mushrooms , and one count of falsifying physical evidence .
“ I can ’ t comment on this case specifically or Mr. DeVries as he is a charged criminal defendant pending adjudication @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ But , I can say that generally speaking , people should be very cautious about listening to voices suggesting defunding the police because their motives are not always in the best interest of society.
” Allegedly , the falsifying physical evidence complaint says that DeVries threw his cellphone from the porch when law enforcement arrived .
The child abuse images show underage girls either in “ lewd exhibition ” of private parts or engaging in sexual activity .
Police said a forensic examiner with Internet Crimes Against Children found more than 60 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to authorities , all complaints against DeVries were signed by Carroll County Attorney Michaela Adruzzi .
On Monday , after his arrest , DeVries entered a “ not guilty ” plea at a hearing that was held remotely .
Currently , he is being held without bail .
Belknap County Superior Court Judge James O ’ Neil III presided while Andruzzi represented the state and Paul Garrity of Paul J. Garrity Law Officers in Londonderry represented DeVries .
Judge O ’ Neil approved an agreement in which DeVries would be held without bail @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done with the understanding that DeVries could have another bail hearing at a later date .
According to Perley ’ s probably cause statement , DeVries admitted to viewing and sharing child pornography and also that the mushrooms were used as drugs .
The Jackson Police Department and other police agencies executed a search warrant for DeVries home on Wilson Road at 11:45 a.m. on Friday after tips were received by the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children ( ICAC ) Task Force .
The warrant was issued by a Cheshire County Superior @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , each child pornography charge is punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a $ 4,000 fine .
The drug and evidence charges are punishable by up to seven years in prison .
Included with the Jackson Police Department , the following other departments participated in the search : ICAC Task Force from the Cheshire and Grafton County Sheriff ’ s Office , detectives from Plymouth Police Department , Carroll County Sheriff ’ s Office , and Conway Police Department .
Authorities said that the case remains active and ongoing .

Here ’ s more on those looking to defund the police .
Never in our wildest dreams could we imagine how totally radical some Democrats have gone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years concerted efforts to totally eviscerate things such as the Second Amendment , nobody could have predicted that they would take such an effort to absurd levels .
No longer do we have to wonder what kind of abject stupidity they could envision next .
In light of one police officer using ridiculously bad judgment , in fact one officer doing something unspeakable which was condemned universally in law enforcement circles , we now have Democrat politicians , who have not condemned the rioting and violence that have overtaken the country in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either defund , or in some cases abolish police departments .
If any Democrats have condemned the violence that has destroyed cities such as Minneapolis , New York , Chicago and others , we haven ’ t heard it .
What we have heard , however are calls to defund police agencies .
In Los Angeles , Mayor Eric Garcetti , who threatened to have people arrested for being on dry sand at beaches , has said that he is eliminating proposed increases to the LAPD budget , and would double down on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from their budget…maybe more .
There have been proposals in New York to significantly cut the NYPD budget by upwards of 15 % in a city that has seen hundreds of officers injured , some critically while dealing with cowards running them down with cars , shooting at them , slashing them with knives and other assaults .
That recommendation by the way came from the city ’ s comptroller , who seemingly forgot about 9/11 .
According to CBS New York , Mayor Bill de Blasio ( when he ’ s not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rioting ) agreed to some cuts to the NYPD budget , which would direct funds to youth initiatives and social services .
So , who is asking for police to be defunded ?
Well , there are Hollywood hypocrites , who live in gated communities with paid bodyguards , such as Natalie Portman .
Or how about radical , anti-Semitic congresswomen like Rashida Tlaib ( D-MI ) ?
Then we have sympathizers , such as the queen of radical pandemic lockdowns , Gretchen Whitmer ( D-MI ) ?
Of course , we have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ D-NY ) seeking defunding of the police as well .
Not happy with defunding the police ?
How about gun confiscation ?
Here are some self-important people who want to come and take guns away from law-abiding gun owners .
Joe Biden ( D ) when he wakes up from a nap long enough is one .
Of course , let ’ s not forget Robert Francis ( Beto ) O ’ Rourke ( D ) , who threatened that he ’ s “ coming for ” AR-15 ’ s , that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a skateboard .
Virginia Gov .
Ralph Northam ( D-VI ) has signed into law some of the most draconian gun laws in the country .
Now , there are some in the country who don ’ t believe that the idea of abolishing the Second Amendment or even the police is even possible .
However , as John Nolte opined in Breitbart News , look at some heretofore “ impossible ” proposals put forth by the Democrats , the Hollywood radicals , and the mainstream media that have not come to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less than ten years -Zero to drag queen story hour “ in about ten seconds ” -Media or conservative are getting blacklisted for referring to biological men as “ he ” -Mainstream media is portraying the burning and looting of cities as “ political speech.
” -The same media described peaceful protests by the Tea Party and the people protesting to open up the economy as “ dangerous ” and “ violent.
” -Lego blacklisted ads for its own toys , such as those portraying police -The NFL has now backed down about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Colin Kaepernick , with Commissioner Roger Goodell saying the league was “ wrong ” about the protests about “ systematic oppression of black people , ” so apparently the NFL is willing to piss off nearly half of its fan base -Speaking of football , New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was excoriated for expressing his personal opinion that because his grandfathers fought in World War II , he didn ’ t believe that kneeling during the National Anthem was appropriate .
Brees apologized and has been “ groveling ” ever since .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ask for forgiveness ” for something which they personally have had nothing to do with , including five Democrat United States Senators .
-So-called healthcare experts said that the coronavirus was lethal if you wanted to go to work , school , or something like a funeral , but apparently has no effect on people who protest and/or riot for “ approved ” causes .
As Nolte rightly notes , we are currently dealing with a Democratic party that is becoming increasingly radicalized .
They have been emboldened and since nobody in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them accountable , they are taking their radicalism to new levels never before anticipated .
Whatever so-called moderate who were left have been supplanted by the radical left .
Now , as Nolte points out why would Democrats want to abolish the police , who then would there be to enforce social order ?
The fact is , as evidenced by their support of the destructive riots , they don ’ t want social order enforced .
They want people to be scared .
They want people to be reliant on central government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they want Soviet or China-style order…they want a central state , communist society .
Finally , they don ’ t want to derive power from the people…they want people to get their power , or lack thereof from the government .
Look at our major American cities .
By and large , with maybe the exception of New York , what is the common denominator ?
They have all been run by Democrats .
Democrats want to keep people scared , they want to keep them poor , they want to keep them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and they want their schools to suck .
You tell them the lie that America is “ evil and racist.
” Think of what has occurred in the past three months .
We saw Democratic controlled states , such as New York , California , Illinois , Michigan and New Jersey continuing draconian , punitive lockdown measures even as states such as Florida and Georgia were loosening up restrictions .
The reason ?
Red state vs. blue state .
One would have to be blind not to see that the COVID19 lockdowns had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election…than it did about public health .
Now this past week , we see cities being absolutely decimated by violent riots .
Has one Democratic politician spoken out and condemned the riots ?
We haven ’ t heard one .
If there is one , they ’ ve been incredibly quiet about it .
Democrats have been openly advocating for anarchy among these violent rioters this week , while weeks ago were locking up people for daring to open up their businesses or citing churches for daring to violate their non-science-based quotas of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again , what is this all about ?
November 3 .
The Democrats know that black unemployment was at historic lows prior to the pandemic .
So , by allowing these riots to continue unabated , pin the blame on President Trump , and take the side of lawless people over the police , Democrats hope to drag this out as long as possible .
Over the past nearly two weeks , we have heard about “ systemic racism ” among police departments , primarily in our large cities .
In the past @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats have had control of the White House for 16 out of those 24 years .
If this police issue is “ systemic , ” it means it ’ s been going on for a long time .
So , what was done under President Obama to stem this racism ?
What was done under Clinton ?
For that matter , what was done during the eight years George W. Bush was president ?
Back to our major cities .
What have these cities , run by Democrats for decades done to stem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police departments ?
Nothing .
Why ?
Because it does not exist .
Democrats have received literally billions of dollars , probably hundreds of billions over the past 50 years in these cities to improve the lot of their inner cities and their minority populations and what have they done ?
And this is somehow President Trump ’ s fault ?
This is the fault of police departments ?
Nolte correctly blames the current social unrest on those failures of the Democrats ’ socialist utopia bad ideas over the past 50 something years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mob ” to distract from those failures and lay the blame on President Trump , who ’ s been in office just over three years .
So , what is the end game for the Democrats in wanting to abolish police and confiscate our guns ?
Control .
Nothing more , nothing less .
Want to make sure you never miss a story from Law Enforcement Today ?
With so much “ stuff ” happening in the world on social media , it ’ s easy for things to get lost .

However, as John Nolte opined in Breitbart News , look at some heretofore “impossible” proposals put forth by the Democrats, the Hollywood radicals, and the mainstream media that have not come to fruition: -Zero to gay marriage in less than ten years -Zero to drag queen story hour “in about ten seconds” -Media or conservative are getting blacklisted for referring to biological men as “he” -Mainstream media is portraying the burning and looting of cities as “political speech.”-The same media described peaceful protests by the Tea Party and the people protesting to open up the economy as “dangerous” and “violent.” -Lego blacklisted ads for its own toys, such as those portraying police -The NFL has now backed down about player protests led by failed 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, with Commissioner Roger Goodell saying the league was “wrong” about the protests about “systematic oppression of black people,” so apparently the NFL is willing to piss off nearly half of its fan base-Speaking of football, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was excoriated for expressing his personal opinion that because his grandfathers fought in World War II, he didn’t believe that kneeling during the National Anthem was appropriate. Brees apologized and has been “groveling” ever since . -Now white Americans are kneeling to “ask for forgiveness” for something which they personally have had nothing to do with, including five Democrat United States Senators . -So-called healthcare experts said that the coronavirus was lethal if you wanted to go to work, school, or something like a funeral, but apparently has no effect on people who protest and/or riot for “approved” causes.As Nolte rightly notes, we are currently dealing with a Democratic party that is becoming increasingly radicalized. They have been emboldened and since nobody in the media save a few outlets are holding them accountable, they are taking their radicalism to new levels never before anticipated. Whatever so-called moderate who were left have been supplanted by the radical left. Now, as Nolte points out why would Democrats want to abolish the police, who then would there be to enforce social order? The fact is, as evidenced by their support of the destructive riots, they don’t want social order enforced. They want people to be scared.They want people to be reliant on central government and want total control. Ironically, they want Soviet or China-style order…they want a central state, communist society. Finally, they don’t want to derive power from the people…they want people to get their power, or lack thereof from the government. Look at our major American cities. By and large, with maybe the exception of New York, what is the common denominator? They have all been run by Democrats. Democrats want to keep people scared, they want to keep them poor, they want to keep them relying on the government for everything, and they want their schools to suck.You tell them the lie that America is “evil and racist.” Think of what has occurred in the past three months. We saw Democratic controlled states, such as New York, California, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey continuing draconian, punitive lockdown measures even as states such as Florida and Georgia were loosening up restrictions. The reason? Red state vs. blue state. One would have to be blind not to see that the COVID19 lockdowns had more to do about November…and the presidential election…than it did about public health. Now this past week, we see cities being absolutely decimated by violent riots.Has one Democratic politician spoken out and condemned the riots? We haven’t heard one. If there is one, they’ve been incredibly quiet about it. Democrats have been openly advocating for anarchy among these violent rioters this week, while weeks ago were locking up people for daring to open up their businesses or citing churches for daring to violate their non-science-based quotas of people who should attend services. Once again, what is this all about? November 3. The Democrats know that black unemployment was at historic lows prior to the pandemic.So, by allowing these riots to continue unabated, pin the blame on President Trump, and take the side of lawless people over the police, Democrats hope to drag this out as long as possible. Over the past nearly two weeks, we have heard about “systemic racism” among police departments, primarily in our large cities. In the past 24 years prior to President Trump, Democrats have had control of the White House for 16 out of those 24 years. If this police issue is “systemic,” it means it’s been going on for a long time. So, what was done under President Obama to stem this racism? What was done under Clinton?For that matter, what was done during the eight years George W. Bush was president? Back to our major cities. What have these cities, run by Democrats for decades done to stem this “systemic racism” in their police departments? Nothing. Why? Because it does not exist. Democrats have received literally billions of dollars, probably hundreds of billions over the past 50 years in these cities to improve the lot of their inner cities and their minority populations and what have they done? Nothing. And this is somehow President Trump’s fault?This is the fault of police departments? Nolte correctly blames the current social unrest on those failures of the Democrats’ socialist utopia bad ideas over the past 50 something years, and secondly to “whipping up the mob” to distract from those failures and lay the blame on President Trump, who’s been in office just over three years. So, what is the end game for the Democrats in wanting to abolish police and confiscate our guns? Control. Nothing more, nothing less.


lawenforcementtoday--2020-08-04--The leader of the US Communist Party just endorsed Biden – and that should speak volumes

The head of the US communist party has come out in support of Joe Biden for President .
Bob Akavian , leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA , asked voters to : “ deliver a decisive defeat to Trump and the whole fascist regime.
” Avakian , who has led the group since 1979 , said in a statement : “ At this critical hour , every appropriate means of non-violent action must be utilized to remove this regime from power , ” He goes on to say : “ And if , in spite of mass protest demanding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this regime remains in power when it is time for voting , then — using all appropriate means to work for the removal of this regime must include voting against Trump.
” Avakian , 77 , underscored to his followers the importance of backing Biden – and not because he is a fan of the former vice president .
He told his followers in an email , that ousting President Trump is too important of a goal to miss , so they should vote for Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden .
Mr. Avakian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decades has backed violent fringe movements all over the world , said that means no protest votes for third-party or independent candidates .
Mr. Biden must be the pick of the far left .
When discussing Biden and the Democratic Party , he said they are : “ representatives and instruments of this exploitative , oppressive , and literally murderous system of capitalism-imperialism.
” And followed that up with saying : “ But Mr. Trump and the Republicans are even worse ” Do you want to join our private family of first responders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some of the most powerful stories that the media refuses to show you .
Proceeds get reinvested into having active , retired and wounded officers , their families and supporters tell more of these stories .
Click to check it out .
That ’ s quite and endorsement for the Biden campaign , whose voters consist of “ Orange Man Bad ” scholars , and whose supporters are attempting to engage in the type of auto-genocide perpetrated by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia during the later half of the 1970s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cuban revolution began with a movement to change for the better .
Women ’ s rights were touted , as were better health care , and universal education .
Of course , like so many revolutionaries , Castro was not too democracy oriented .
By the mid ’ 60s Cuba was under a dictatorship , dissidents jailed or killed as the Castro cult blossomed .
And the people fled .
The populations of Miami and Tampa speaks to that .
They fled in droves .
And now the party which aligns itself with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ add Joe Biden to their ranks .
They want to take a prosperous and free nation filled with individual liberties , and turn it into a rotting cesspool of prisons filled with not criminals , but those with differing ideals .
A rotting cesspool where only the very wealthy have any liberties and the “ common masses ” are relegated to government ghettos with no way out .
One can only hope that this endorsement opens the eyes of these “ common masses ” .
Because it didn ’ t take too long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” in Cuba and Joe Biden is their choice to bring it here .
In the meantime , recent video reveals U.S. Senate transcript of Joe Biden using the N-word 13 times in a 1985 hearing series .
Joe Biden is the presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee and the former U.S. Vice President to former President Barack Obama .
According to Breitbart , video of one such instance where Biden used the N-word when quoting someone else already surfaced in June .
Now again , video of him using the derogatory multiple times in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hearing series in which Biden repeatedly used the offensive term was when he was questioning William Reynolds , then-President Ronald Reagan ’ s assistant attorney general for civil rights .
During this time , Reynolds was also under consideration for a promotion to become the next associate attorney general .
According to reports , in his conversation with Reynolds , Biden was asking him about his role in providing clearance for a redistricting plan in Louisiana that the courts later struck down .
A memo was submitted to Reynolds before he approved the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a racist quote from someone described as a “ key legislator ” in defeating the alternative redistricting plan .
According this memo , that “ key legislator ” , then-Republican Rep. Charles Emile Bruneau of New Orleans , allegedly said he opposed the left ’ s desired redistricting plan for Louisiana in starkly terms and used the N-word more than once in his memo .
When Biden questioned Reynolds about this in the 1985 hearings , he repeatedly brought up this exact quote and kept using the N-word .
According to the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used the N-word for a total of 13 times .
These hearings stretched over a couple of days .
According to the transcripts , the first instance occurred during the morning of June 4 , 1985 , when Biden used the offensive term twice .
The again , on June 5th , Biden recited the derogatory term from the quote twice .
Some video that is circulating of the transcripts from those 1985 hearings has left out the context that includes proof Biden was not actually using the N-word himself , but instead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Emile ) saying it .
The question remains , should a politician be using offensive terms whether they are quoting someone or not ?
Is this acceptable , or not ?
In another instance , Senator Bernie Williams of Vermont , faced questions last year over his use of the N-word in his book , Outsider in the House in 1997 .
He was questioned heavily from leftists and other Democrats on Twitter .
MSNBC ’ s Joey Reid has repeatedly argued that it is never acceptable for white men to use the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Apparently she considers herself the moral authority on what ’ s right and wrong .
Biden is scheduled to appear on Reid ’ s new primetime program , The Reidout , in the near future .
Right now , it is unclear if she will ask him about this .
Reid has been known to call out other politicians , including former U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh ( R-IL ) when they have used the offensive term .
Reid has a long history of being opposed to any white person using the N-word in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ else .
Which is , some might argue , ironically discriminatory in itself .
Back in 2016 , during the presidential elections , Reid floated the possibility of a tape of President Donald Trump saying the racist term .
This tape has never materialized despite the constant rumors from the media and the left .
But of course there were a lot of accusations that were made that never materialized .
Even though the rumored tape on President Trump never surfaced , Reid ’ s guest to debut her new primetime show is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has plenty of evidence of Biden using the term .
Just two weeks ago , Biden made a controversial , “ you ain ’ t black ” blunder , which caused widespread outrage .
He told The Breakfast Club listeners : “ If you have a problem figuring out whether you ’ re for me or Trump , they you ain ’ t black.
” Putting the above quote in context , Biden was discussing undecided black voters who do not know whether to support him or President Donald Trump this November when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. Sun , Biden said he should have not been so cavalier , but he insisted that he was not the only “ wise guy ” last week .
He said : “ He was being a wise guy and I responded in kind .
I shouldn ’ t have done that .
It was a mistake.
” He reiterated that he would never , never take the black vote for granted and that : “ He has worked like the devil for it and have to earn it every time.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to media and news outlets requests for comments .
Joe Biden : “ …my children are going to grow up in a jungle , the jungle being a racial jungle.
” ( Op-ed ) This editorial is brought to you by a former Chief of Police and staff writer for Law Enforcement Today .
WASHINGTON DC – We can all pretty much agree that something seems to be , shall we say “ off ” about Joe Biden .
His continuous gaffes , such as when he suggested in a campaign “ event @ @ @ @ @ @ @ died from COVID-19 , should serve as a warning to Democrats that there is something seriously wrong with him .
It is one thing to exaggerate , as President Trump tends to do on occasion .
However , beyond that , Biden obviously has issues grasping facts .
What is even more troubling for Biden is he seems to have a “ race ” issue that appears to be rearing its head .
A 1977 quote attributed to Biden has come to the forefront once again , one where he referred to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ desegregation .
His record deserves some examination , as Biden has a history of making racially charged statements .
The 1977 quote was actually raised last year but was quietly buried , even though the New York Times had done a rather lengthy piece on Biden ’ s record on busing and school desegregation last July .
According to a Business Insider article from last July 15 , the quote attributed to Biden was uncovered by a University of Southern California Law School professor , Daria Roithmayr , and was reported in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to come from a congressional hearing where anti-busing legislation was being addressed , with Biden saying at the time that he wanted to “ insure we do have orderly integration of society , ” while emphasizing that he was “ not just talking about education but all of society.
” Last June during presidential primary debates , Sen. Kamala Harris , who is now rumored to be the front-runner to be Biden ’ s vice-presidential pick took a shot at Biden ’ s record over desegregation .
“ There was a little girl @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day , ” Harris said .
“ That little girl was me .
So , I will tell you that on this subject , it can not be an intellectual debate among Democrats.
” While Biden claimed during that debate that his opposition wasn ’ t to voluntary busing overall , cut only to Department of Education mandated busing , evidence has shown that Biden was actually one of the Senate ’ s most ardent advocates in opposition to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact reported that Biden had preferred expanded affordable housing in suburbs as an alternative to busing , and he actually teamed up with well-known segregationist Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina on an amendment that would eliminate a provision that took away the ability of the federal government to withdraw funding as a means of punishing school districts that failed to adequately integrate their schools .
Biden also brought forth numerous pieces of legislation intended to curb the federal Department of Justice from prosecuting cases that would result in court-mandated school busing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a private home for those who support emergency responders and veterans called LET Unity .
We reinvest the proceeds into sharing their untold stories .
Click to check it out .
For those looking to fact-check Biden ’ s statement about his kids “ grow [ ing ] up in a jungle , ” Snopes , hardly a right-leaning “ fact check ” site found the quote to be accurate .
Just a few weeks ago , Biden was on “ The Breakfast Club , ” a podcast , where he was questioned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Charlamagne tha God .
Biden famously responded : Charlamagne tha God replied , “ It don ’ t have nothing to do with Trump .
It has to do with the fact I want something for my community.
” Biden : “ Take a look at my record , man… ” So , National Review did that .
Back when Biden was launching his failed 2008 presidential campaign , Biden referred to Barack Obama as the first “ mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Court Justice Clarence Thomas , who by all accounts fit the description of a “ mainstream African American who is articulate… ” Biden was a staunch supporter of known segregationist Alabama Gov .
George Wallace having praised him on several occasions .
He praised Sen. Strom Thurmond , whom he referred to as his “ close friend ” numerous times .
Thurmond was one of the so-called “ Dixiecrats ” and also a supporter of racial segregation .
Biden also led the Clinton administration efforts to pass the 1994 Crime Bill .
While @ @ @ @ @ @ @ led to a decades long decrease in crime , critics , mostly from the left complain that the law led to mass incarceration which disproportionately affected African Americans .
Biden bragged during a 1992 speech from the Senate floor that a crime bill under consideration that would eventually become the 1994 bill would “ do everything but hang people for jaywalking.
” In 2008 , Biden referred to it as the “ Biden Crime Law ” on his website during his 2008 presidential run .
Biden , as with many Democrats , seems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ granted .
As we have seen across the country , especially over the past month , cities which have been run by Democrats for decades are the ones where conditions , especially for people of color , have seriously deteriorated .
What is the definition of insanity again ?
“ Doing the same thing over and over , but expecting different results ?
” The bloom may be coming off the rose a bit , however .
On Thursday , the founder of Black Entertainment Television , Robert Johnson told Fox News that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Party has taken black voters for granted , and in fact suggested that Black Lives Matter form a new third party .
Johnson later added , “ That ’ s the biggest turnoff I ’ ve heard from a politician in a long time.
” While Biden claimed his comments in the radio interview “ were a ‘ mistake , ’ ” he said he was being a “ wise guy.
” No Joe , you were saying exactly how you , and most Democrats feel .
Johnson continued that Biden gives him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and said that he questions whether Biden sincerely believes that African Americans should get an “ equal seat at the table.
” In some ways , Biden and the Democrats may be right , and African Americans are playing right into their hands .
Despite Democratic run cities doing nothing to further the cause of blacks and improve the inner cities where many of them live , according to a recent Washington Post-Ipsos poll , Biden has a favorability over the president 92-5 , despite the fact that until the pandemic , President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the lowest level in history .
It might do African Americans justice if they check Biden ’ s checkered record on race .
It isn ’ t very promising .
“ Racial jungle ?
” Wow .

lawenforcementtoday--2020-09-30--Suspect arrested in shooting of two LASD deputies – and apparently, they’ve had him for 2 weeks

LOS ANGELES , CA – On September 30th , authorities reportedly arrested a suspect alleged to be the gunman behind the near-fatal ambush of two Los Angeles County Sheriff ’ s deputies earlier in September .
The 36-year-old suspect is slated to be arraigned later in the afternoon of the 30th , under two counts each of premediated attempted murder of a peace officer and possession of a firearm by a felon .
L.A. County District Attorney Jackie Lacey and Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced the arrest of Deonte Lee Murray on September 30th , while addressing the press from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so unique though is that the suspect had already been arrested – three days after the shooting .
However , Murray ’ s September 15th arrest wasn ’ t linked to this shooting , but rather a case pertaining to a carjacking and shooting that transpired on September 1st .
Interestingly , at the time of the September 15th arrest of Murray that involved a 10-hour standoff , Sheriff Alex Villanueva said “ we have no nexus known between that [ carjacking suspect ] and the ambush.
” But forensic evidence wound up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ according to D.A .
Lacey and Captain Kent Wagener noted that a “ ghost gun ” that was allegedly used in the shooting was also recovered .
Also , the black Mercedes Benz that had fled the scene of the shooting on September 12th of the two deputies also happened to be the same vehicle that Murray allegedly stole on September 1st .
Captain Wegener also stated that Murray ’ s booking photo bore a reasonable resemblance to the suspect featured on the surveillance footage of the shooting : “ The carjacking suspect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the suspect ’ s image in the surveillance video of the attempted murder , strengthened the possibility that he was involved.
” Murray apparently provided all the evidence investigators needed during his September 15th arrest – between the recovered vehicle and the “ ghost gun ” that he reportedly tried to throw from a moving vehicle when police were engaged in a pursuit with him .
Captain Wagener explained that the discarded gun helped provide all the missing pieces in the investigation : “ It was determined through ballistic comparison , that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shoot the deputies , additionally that pistol was conclusively linked through forensic testing to suspect Deonte Murray.
” While investigators did admit on the September 30th press conference to having suspicions as early as September 15th that Murray was their suspect , Captain Wagener explained that while those suspicions existed – the evidence wasn ’ t quite up to par immediately following Murray ’ s September 15th arrest : “ There was insufficient evidence to support an arrest , much less a criminal filing for the charge of attempted murder on a peace @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media as the person responsible .
Additionally , bringing the public focus on him at that point in the investigation may have influenced the pending witness interviews.
” Outside of the charges linked to the ambush on the two deputies , Murray is also facing a charge of attempted murder due to the September 1st carjacking due to him allegedly shooting the owner of the Mercedes that he allegedly stole .
On top of the pending charges levied against the suspect , Murray is also said to host a lengthy criminal history that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , terrorist threats and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon .
With the charges that Murray is currently facing , he may serve up to life in prison if convicted .

Lacey and Captain Kent Wagener noted that a “ghost gun” that was allegedly used in the shooting was also recovered.Also, the black Mercedes Benz that had fled the scene of the shooting on September 12of the two deputies also happened to be the same vehicle that Murray allegedly stole on September 1Captain Wegener also stated that Murray’s booking photo bore a reasonable resemblance to the suspect featured on the surveillance footage of the shooting:Murray apparently provided all the evidence investigators needed during his September 15arrest – between the recovered vehicle and the “ghost gun” that he reportedly tried to throw from a moving vehicle when police were engaged in a pursuit with him.Captain Wagener explained that the discarded gun helped provide all the missing pieces in the investigation:While investigators did admit on the September 30press conference to having suspicions as early as September 15that Murray was their suspect, Captain Wagener explained that while those suspicions existed – the evidence wasn’t quite up to par immediately following Murray’s September 15arrest:Outside of the charges linked to the ambush on the two deputies, Murray is also facing a charge of attempted murder due to the September 1carjacking due to him allegedly shooting the owner of the Mercedes that he allegedly stole.On top of the pending charges levied against the suspect, Murray is also said to host a lengthy criminal history that includes convictions of drug sales, burglary, terrorist threats and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. With the charges that Murray is currently facing, he may serve up to life in prison if convicted.
