Judge: Border Patrol caught human traffickers too far from Mexican border

Two border agents who stopped a Chevrolet Suburban they thought looked suspiciously heavy were well intentioned but overly zealous, a federal judge has ruled.

U.S. District Judge Marina Garcia Marmolejo in Corpus Christi on Thursday granted a defendant’s motion to suppress evidence, stating that the agents in question lacked “reasonable suspicion to believe that criminal activity was afoot.”

Lawsuit claim: San Jose cop accused of rape sexually assaulted another woman just months earlier

SAN JOSE — The woman who prosecutors contend was raped by an on-duty San Jose police officer has made an explosive new accusation in a lawsuit, alleging that the cop had sexually assaulted “at least one other woman” just months earlier.

The lawsuit further alleges that the department knew or should have known about his conduct but failed to make sure he was accompanied by a second officer “at all times.”

Officer Geoffrey Graves’ lawyer did not respond to a request for comment. The woman’s attorney also did not respond to requests for more information to support the new accusations, which are described only briefly in the lawsuit.

Earlier this year, Santa Clara County prosecutors charged Graves with raping an undocumented woman in September 2013, whom he first encountered during a disturbance call. The criminal complaint also charges Graves with two counts of felony domestic violence for allegedly injuring his then-girlfriend in incidents unrelated to the alleged rape.

What If The Killing In Ferguson Was Reversed

 

Modified a little from original post:

 

The Ferguson shooting in reverse:
A young white kid is walking down the street. A black policeman approaches him and tells him to get the F**K out of the street. The cop pulls off, then backs up, almost hitting the white kid. A confrontation occurs, shots are fired with several white neighbors witnessing it. The black cop exits the vehicle and begins to fire on the unarmed white kid who is running away. The white kid turns around and puts his hands in the air. The black police officer continues to shot at the white kid, shooting him in the eye and top of the head as he is slumping down from the previous shots.

Critical Ethnic Studies MA Degree – DePaul University

DePaul University’s College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is pleased to offer the first graduate program in a new and exciting field that utilizes Chicago as a living classroom. 

The Master of Arts in Critical Ethnic Studies prepares students for advanced analysis of race and ethnicity in an urban and global context. It provides an interdisciplinary approach to the studies of systematic marginalization of racialized minorities. It also looks at how racialized groups respond to and counter these forces through art, culture, political organization and other forms of social citizenship. 
We emphasize social justice and transformation while focusing on U.S. ethno-racial populations through an intersectional, transnational, and urban framework. Students apply critical theories to complex social and cultural issues. The program consists of a combination of core courses and electives and a final project or internship.

Video Emerges of Darren Wilson On Day He Arrested a Man For Recording On His Own Front Lawn

Mike Arman was bothering no one on the afternoon of October 28, 2013 when Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson showed up to his home uninvited. Wilson later said his reason for the intrusion was that he noticed there were unused vehicles on Arman’s property. When Arman, for his own safety, began to film the interaction on his cell phone, Darren Wilson responded by threatening Arman. In Wilson’s words, “If you wanna take a picture of me one more time, I’m gonna lock your ass up.” “Do I not have the right to record?” asked Arman, knowing full well it is perfectly legal to record police, especially when the officer is standing on a citizen’s own property. But Wilson responded, “No, you don’t.”

University Officials Step Down After Anti-Latina Comments

Ginner had been accused of saying that Latina students “do not have the DNA to be successful” during a February meeting of the foundation board. Dukes was present at that meeting and allegedly did not condemn Ginner’s comment.
