Radicalized anti-Russian Ukrainian mob throw MP into dumpster outside parliament - video

Image
Zhuravsky was bundled into a dumpster
A group of demonstrators, including 'Right Sector' neo-nazis, outside the Ukrainian parliament in Kiev grabbed Ukrainian MP Vitaly Zhuravsky and threw him into a dumpster on Tuesday. Zhuravsky is a former member of former President Viktor Yanukovich's party. After being thrown in, Zhuravsky was held down and various liquids were poured over him. A tyre was also added into the unsightly mix.

The protestors were demanding that an 'anti-elite' law be passed in the Ukrainian parliament that would see any MP that served under former President Yanukovich, who was ousted in a US-sponsored coup in April, banned from holding office for 10 years and forced to return any gifts they received while serving in Yanukovich's administration.


The 'Right Sector' group is made up of ultra-right wing nationalist and former military personnel who have acted as mercenaries for Ukrainian oligarchs aligned with the US and EU.

Meet another Neo-Nazi fighting on behalf of Kiev

So we already reported on the American Nazi who was fighting in Ukraine until he got killed, the neo-Nazi Azov battalion he was fighting with, and the reports of war tourism, or, European right wingers joining in the fighting just for fun.

Now here's another one, Gaston Besson. This guy seems to be a war afficionado or professional mercenary. He has a reputation going back to the Yugoslav wars where he was accused of war crimes. He's also served in Laos and Myanmar. Apparently he enjoys going berserk in battle and being "excessively cruel".


Comment: In other words, he couldn't care less about what's going to happen to Ukraine, he's there to kill people on behalf of US/NATO. It seems they just ship these mercenaries around.


Like the American Nazi, Paslawsky, he also fights with the Azov battalion, the one with the Nazi swastika on its coat of arms which runs around bravely punishing civilians. He's in charge of coordinating foreign volunteers.

We've got a backlog of video and material about the neo-Nazi presence in Ukraine. It's much bigger than has been reported so far in the western media.

Actress Samantha Morton speaks about her horrifying childhood physical & sexual abuse in Nottingham foster care homes

Following revelations of child sex abuse in Rotherham, actor and director Samantha Morton felt the need to go public about her own shocking experience growing up in care homes in Nottingham. Here she talks for the first time about being sexually abused by residential care workers, and what happened when she went to the police about it.


Comment: Notice the statements at the end of the interview by the Nottingham City Council, Nottingham police and others, attempting to whitewash the matter as an issue of the past that no longer takes place. And compare that with the words of Samantha Morton on how the corrupt top echelons of the protective services are the ones sexually abusing the children under their care, and how the system (d)evolved to protect those pathological individuals instead of the vulnerable children who continue to struggle with the life-long effects of the sexual abuse trauma. And we bet that the same pathological individuals are holding the reins in that corrupt system still in our days!

Retrial begins for Detroit cop who killed 7-year-old in 'Reality Show Shooting'

Jury selection began Monday in the retrial for a Michigan police officer accused of killing a 7-year-old girl during a 2010 raid on her house while being followed by a reality-TV camera crew. The cop is charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Joseph Weekley was charged with involuntary manslaughter for shooting Aiyana Stanley-Jones as she slept on a couch the night of May 16, 2010. Weekley was among a group of Detroit officers executing a search warrant on a home where they hoped to find a 17-year-old murder suspect. They threw a flash grenade inside the home hoping the bright light, smoke and vibrations would confuse the occupants before the officers entered.

Stanley-Jones was shot seconds later, with Weekley later testifying that he heard a noise from the couch "like somebody's out of breath" before Aiyana's grandmother, Mertilla Jones, attempted to push the gun away. Jones denied she made a move for the gun and claimed police intentionally murdered Stanley-Jones.

A member of the Detroit Police Special Response Team at the time, Weekley was trailed by a crew filming for the television show, The First 48. The A&E reality show, in the vein of Cops, follows simultaneous murder investigations and depicts real-life scenarios from an investigator's perspective.

"I replay this every day in my head," Weekley testified in his first trial. "There's nothing else I could have done differently."

Missouri teen is in coma after cop tasered him; FBI to investigate police department

On Monday, the FBI announced that it is investigating the Independence Police Department after an encounter with an officer left a 17-year-old in a coma.

According to his friends, Bryce Masters is in a medically induced coma because of injuries he sustained during the traffic stop.

At around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Curtis Martes, a friend of Masters', stepped outside to welcome Masters to his home on Southside Boulevard.

Martes then saw that a police officer had pulled Masters over; he recalls the cop standing by the passenger window and telling Masters to roll down the window.

According to Martes, Masters couldn't roll the window down because, "He doesn't have the cable that allows the electric window to work."

Independence Police said that Masters had an outstanding traffic violation and refused to cooperate with the officer.

As Sgt. Darren Schmidli said, "I believe he did crack the window but did not roll it down any further. He was just being completely uncooperative with the officer."

According to Schmidli, "The driver refused to exit the vehicle." A struggle ensued, during which, "a Taser was deployed by the officer. The driver was finally removed out of the car. A struggle ensued once he was moved out of the car."

Schmidli noted that even after Masters was warned the officers were going to use a stun gun, he refused to cooperate.

Witnesses, however, recount a different series of events.

Witness Michelle Baker, who lives next door and captured cell phone footage of the encounter, describes that, "The cop was like, 'you want to mess with me,' and pulled out his Taser and tased him."

"I thought he shot him," Baker said. "Then he pulled him out of the car, handcuffed him and drug him around the car."

"It looked like he hit his head on the concrete. You could see blood coming out of his mouth," Baker added, noting that the cop "put his foot on his back and moved it back and forth like he was putting a cigarette out."

L.A. city attorney arrested and charged with possession of child pornography

Image
A deputy Los Angeles city attorney has been arrested and charged with possession of child pornography, authorities said Friday.

Christopher Richard Garcia, 57, was arrested Thursday afternoon at his home in San Pedro and booked on suspicion of possessing and distributing child pornography, said Officer Liliana Preciado, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department.

Garcia had been under investigation since at least November, when authorities served a search warrant at his home and seized computers and other "electronic evidence," Preciado said.

"At the time, they found some questionable images," she said.

A forensic search of the computer revealed evidence of child exploitation, she said.

Prosecutors said Garcia has been charged with sending or bringing obscene material into the state for sale and possession of material depicting minors engaged in sexual conduct.

The board of trustees of the University of Illinois voted Thursday to reject the appointment of Steven Salaita as dozens of student and faculty supporters of the professor packed the meeting room at the Urbana-Champaign campus.

Before and immediately after the vote, The Electronic Intifada questioned top university officials on video, including the president, chancellor, board chair and several trustees, about the apparent influence of pro-Israel donors on the decision to fire Salaita.

Salaita has expressed "disappointment" in the decision, stating, "I am speaking with my attorneys about my options."

Lone dissenter

A lone trustee, James D. Montgomery, voted in favor of Salaita's appointment.

Regarding Salaita's tweets, Montgomery, the only university official who did not evade questions, told The Electronic Intifada that it was "pretty clear that some of those opinions were justified and probably most of the people in this room would agree with the opinions in terms of the tragedy that is going on between Israel and Gaza."

Western impotence: Russia's first offshore arctic drilling project unaffected by sanctions

Newly sanctioned Gazprom Neft plans to continue offshore oil extraction in its Prirazlomnoye Arctic field as planned, and will reach peak oil production by 2021, First Deputy CEO Vadim Yakovlev said.

Prirazlomnoye is Russia's first offshore Arctic field, and with 72 million tons of recoverable oil, will be a key source for future hydrocarbon production and development in Russia. Already 100 million barrels of the new ARCO Arctic blend have been extracted from the site, which began production in April 2014.

The fresh round of sanctions by the US and EU intend to freeze Russia's big Arctic and Siberia shale oil ambitions by barring foreign oil companies from supplying any technology or equipment for joint ventures in deep water, offshore, or shale projects.

The production platform located in the Pechora Sea in Arctic waters will produce 110,000 barrels per day by 2021, despite Western sanctions.

"At the moment, we don't think that this will affect our long-term plans," Vadim Yakovlev, told reporters Friday, just before the sanctions were published.

The Police Chief in Washington, DC, is speaking out against one of her officers and in support of a man who stopped to record police arresting a man on a sidewalk only to be harassed by police and suspected of involvement in a crime for doing so.

Metropolitan Police Department Police Chief Cathy Lanier said she was surprised by the officer's actions in the incident that happened this week, and that he is now under investigation because for clearly violating the department's own regulations.

In the cell-phone video recording posted on YouTube, several police officers could be seen arresting a man lying on the ground, with his belongings scattered on the sidewalk outside the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.

Just over 50 seconds into the video, an officer approaches the witness, Andrew Heining, to ask if he knows the person being restrained.

"Are you a part of this, sir?" the officer, identified as C.C. Reynolds, asked Heining. "You're videotaping an investigation. This can be evidence in the case you understand that?"
