Houston we have a problem, this is an SOS, and our last communique in this form. We need to start asking the right questions..
If Chris Dorner showed us anything this month, it’s what not to do when you feel backed into a corner. Instead of taking a stand for rights he felt long denied, like MLK did earlier this century, Chris chose to kill. If we’ve learned anything this century from the back to back crusades against civil and human injustices it’s that peace accomplishes more than violence. Gandhi proved this by freeing India from British occupation without striking…
*Brian Bentley, 49, doesn’t agree with what Christopher Dorner — the ex-cop at center of a massive manhunt for the killings of three people—has done, but he certainly understands it.
As a former LAPD officer, Bentley, who is now an author, says that a Dorner-like situation was just a matter of time.
“It took longer than I thought it would for something like this to happen.”
In fact, Bentley says that when he was a police officer, there were frequent positings of “look out” bulletins on the walls at police stations featuring officers who’d been terminated and who were believed…
What lead to Christopher Dorners actions this past week, is the open discussion we’ll begin tonight at 9pm EST via twitter hashtag #CopChat. We want to hear from you, your opinions, thoughts and input, whether you are an active or retired officer, civilian or member of the armed forces.
Chris left a lengthy manifesto (below) in his wake describing problems beginning with childhood bullying and racism, to internal corruption within his department and on to what he perceived as an almost continuing cycle of bulling and racism that ultimately lead to what he describes as a completely unfair firing from…
Project Safety Net
Hurricane Sandy hit hard and fast and the response has been extraordinary. From FEMA to Grassroots Organizations, down to individual residents themselves. Everyone is helping out, with recovery efforts, but even with this overwhelming response, there was a lack of information sharing during the storm and people were left in the dark.
Danny, the civilian founder of the Occupy group ‘Occupy Police’ @OccupyPolice on twitter (which worked on calming tension between police and protesters during the height of the occupy protests) started a twitter account named @HC_Sandy (Now @SandyVolunteer) to keep people updated by the minute before…

London | It’s no big secret Europe is being crushed under the weight of mounting debt and austerity measures – recently proven ineffective. On October 20th, TUC (Trade Union Congress) will be hosting marches against austerity in London, Belfast, and Glasgow.
The UK, like many of it’s sister countries in Europe are fed up with austerity and cuts to the public sector “Austerity isn’t working, our country faces long-term economic problems, but our political leaders have failed to face up to them. For the next five years or more, unless policies change the economy will not grow, incomes will not…

Excerpt: ” I’d never really been involved in any type of group, movement or activism before but, I suppose, I became part of something. I still don’t really know what! This dawned on me when Occupy Police, based in the US, picked up…
First off, yes, the image above is racy, and edgy, and may leave you scratching your head and wondering. Let me explain –
For a few months now Occupy Police has been adamant about civilians connecting with officers on a personal level via social media. We’ve heavily promoted things like #copchat and attempted to foster group discussions ranging from police surveillance to favorite movies. There are a lot of reasons for this. First off, lets clear the air here and try to cast aside any doubt that the general public doesn’t hold a bit of fear in their hearts…

Police Unions’ Statement Regarding Recent Enforcement Action at the Capitol
The Madison Professional Police Officers Association and Dane County Deputy Sheriffs Association today release the following joint statement:
In February of 2011, tens of thousands of Wisconsinites travelled to our state Capitol in order to have their voices heard. It was truly a remarkable time in Wisconsin’s history, where people from all sides of a political issue came together in one place to peacefully demonstrate.…
