The computers taken included those used by the Slingshot Collective. According to Bay Area Indymedia, police broke down doors, raided cabinets, cut locks, and scattered sorted mail. Police said they were searching for equipment that may have been used to commit a felony. The warrant did not describe the alleged crimes, did not identify any specific organization housed within the building, or name any suspects. Long Haul hosts several other organizations, including the Needle Exchange, East Bay Prisoner Support, and a zine library. The seizure will interfere with the publication of the next issue of Slingshot. This is the first time the long-standing community center has been raided. Comment:  The Long Haul Infoshop is Grand Central Station for the far left in Northern California. I can say this from experience, having spent many, many hours there when we lived in Berkeley and, later, San Francisco. Seizing the computers, the mail, the contents of the file cabinets is a crippling blow to all kinds of local activists, groups and causes, and in all the coverage I've read I haven't seen any mention of anything that sounds like a reasonable reason for such a raid.   H&HH    PERMANENT LINK  Seattle cop charged in motorcycle bar shooting New York City agrees to pay protesters $2 million over civil rights violations during pre-Iraq attack protests Comment: Two million bucks seems like a lot to me, but New York City has a population of 8,000,000 so that's only about 25¢ per person -- nowhere near enough to make the city stop and think and start reigning in its savage police department.   H&HH    PERMANENT LINK  2 NYPD officers accused of assaulting motorist NYC police want to screen Manhattan-bound vehicles for radiation, other terrorism threats Suspended cop says sex with prostitute wasn't fun, it was hard work Man recovering after being shot by officer Comment: What happened to Vincent Wadley? From google searches, here's what I can piece together... It seems that a guy in Arlington, TX named Vincent Wadley was stopped by cop named Juan Rodriguez due to some kind of traffic violation. Mr. Wadley was restrained, handcuffed, and placed into the back of Rodriguez's car. A glass partition seperated Wadley from the driver. Strangely, Vincent Wadley never made it to the police station. Insted Mr. Wadley ended up in the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds inflicted by Juan Rodriguez' gun. So what's Officer Rodriguez' version? Did Wadley tase him or not? Was any of this captured on video? Were there any witnesses besides Rodriguez? Why didn't Rodriguez just ignore Wadley's antics and finish bringing the guy to the police station? Why did Rodriguez stop, and allow Mr. Wadley to leave the car? Could a shooting have been avoided? A cop shoots an arrested and handcuffed prisoner before reaching the police station? This story should be all over the news. I can't figure out why it isn't. So is Vincent Wadley still alive? And if so, what is his version of the story?   May    PERMANENT LINK  Houston cops are rarely disciplined over taser misuse Cop investigates high schoolers' MySpace pages as basis for intimidating talk on internet safety Pittsburgh police kill black man, lie about it Cops taser man to death in Miami Guards found guilty of arranging teenager's jail rape Louisiana policeman indicted in racially charged Taser manslaughter case Ex-inmates accuse former sheriff of demanding sex Police break into family's home, leave message via fridge magnets Family sues over no-knock raid on absurd pretext, shooting of husband Cops taser, beat black man to death in Pennsylvania Cops taser man to death in California Dash-cam records deputy beating teen Crime labs finding questionable DNA matches, as FBI tries to keep national database away from lawyers Woman was likely on her knees and complying with SWAT team's orders when she was shot and killed by police officer Aussie police reopen 7,000 cases after DNA error Taser bachelor party draws discipline for deputies Cop suspended after flashing "prank" Mayor and family cleared, but police won't apologize for raid and killing their dogs Cop suspended after loudly demanding free coffee at Starbucks Missing sex toys raise concerns at police property room Police Chief gives SWAT team honors for bravery in gunfight and raid on wrong house Cops taser severely injured teen 19 times "to keep him from getting hurt" Jail inmate tasered to death in Charlotte Cop accused of tasering handcuffed man to death may face charges Cop might not get away with tackling cyclist, since the video's on YouTube   Cop's report of incident is utterly at odds with YouTube video Law professor and cop agree: Never ever ever ever ever ever ever talk to the cops about a crime, even if you're innocent SWAT team in drug raid at Mayor's house shoots dog in the back Scores of black men were tortured into giving false confessions by Chicago Police, and remain behind bars today Police sue AOL to finger critical blogger Police taser newlyweds Mother horrified as police shoot family dog, mace baby For tasering kid for 37 seconds, triggering fatal heart attack, cop gets five-day suspension Cop who killed black guy actually faces trial Police use injections to subdue 'unruly' citizens Cops use forfeiture policy to get free car rentals Blind woman with cancer is tazed by police in her home Police officer gives himself $21,000 raise using stop sign tickets Police investigation finds that forcibly removing inmate's clothes wasn't a strip search Ex-FBI agent arrested in plot to rob Orange County 'narcotics stash pad' Cop won't be fired despite videotaped beating of shackled 60-year-old drunk What happens to all that money and stuff that's seized by police?
