Misguided Politicians Wake Up To Criminal Acts By Academic Censors

Dr. Melissa Click is an assistant professor in the MU Department of Communication in the College of Arts and Science.

[From article]
Slowly, to be sure, but at last some universities and some police departments in university towns are beginning to fight back against students who protest imaginary microaggressions with real illegal macroaggressions. A few months ago, University of Missouri communications assistant professor Melissa Click communicated her displeasure with student journalists who were videoing her leading a demonstration on campus. They captured on video her enraged face and uplifted arms as she called out, "I need some muscle over here" to remove the non-protesting students.
The Missouri state legislature discussed firing her.
The student videographer filed a complaint with university police.
And now the Columbia, Missouri city prosecutor has charged Click with misdemeanor assault.

Update from Thomas Lifson:
Readers might be interested in correspondence American Thinker received from the University of Missouri J-School, following publication of this blog post by the same author:
Subject: For Ethel C. Fenig
I am sending this on behalf of David Kurpius, dean of the Missouri School of Journalism.

Suzette Heiman
Director of Planning and Communications
573-529-xxxx

Ms. Ethel C. Fenig
American Thinker

Dear Ms. Fenig,
I wish to clarify an item in your Jan. 6, 2016, article, “Not needing muscle to fire communications instructor who communicates with muscle.”
Dr. Melissa Click is an assistant professor in the MU Department of Communication in the College of Arts and Science. Until Nov. 10 she held a courtesy appointment with the School of Journalism, which allowed her to work with a small number of graduate students on their master's or doctoral committees. She never taught a course in the journalism school.
The distinction about Dr. Click’s academic home is an important one to ensure that readers, including alumni and prospective students, are not misled. We are contacting the source to correct the error there.
We request that the correction, update or clarification be appended to your article in the digital archive so that the misrepresentation’s harm to the reputation of the nation’s first school of journalism can be minimized as soon as possible.

Thank you.

David D. Kurpius, Dean
Missouri School of Journalism

AT responded:
Dear Dean Kurpius,

The blog post in question clearly stated:
After the video, with a close-up of her angry face, went viral, she smugly martyred herself the next day, offering an insincere apology along with her resignation as a courtesy instructor in the university's esteemed School of Journalism department, where she did little. However she retained her lucrative position in the school's separate Department of Communications….
I do not see a basis for the concern you express.

Cordially,
Thomas Lifson, PhD
Editor in chief
AT never heard from them again.

Cambridge, MA Officials Want New Laws Because Old Laws are Not Enforced

"Councilor McGovern said that even without the ordinance, illegal basement renovations are going on [. . .] With this amendment, inspectional services can make sure these renovations are being done properly. [. . .] Councilor Nadeem Mazen [said] Those who wish to use their basement space and create illegal units are already doing so, [. . .] and there’s a number of ways to [. . .] regulate the process. The council can always perfect the ordinance over time," Without divine intervention what will enable Inspectional Services to ensure this new ordinance will be obeyed? Do new laws attract the love and respect of miscreants, while older laws do not? Emotions continue to rule the minds of politicians.

Rudy Giuliani, Agrees With Obama, More Police Needed in Black Neighborhoods

[From article]
“Minority communities typically are subject to more crime,” he said. “They need law enforcement more than anybody.”
No! Wait!
That wasn’t Rudy Giuliani. That was President Obama — speaking on ABC’s “This Week.”
Giuliani was over on “Meet the Press” — opening up on Michael Dyson, a Georgetown University professor and frequent critic of policing practices in Ferguson, Mo., and elsewhere in America:
“Ninety-three percent of blacks are killed by other blacks,” Rudy barked. “I would like to see the [same] attention paid to that, that you are paying to [Ferguson].”
“What about the poor black child who was killed by another black child?” Giuliani asked. “Why aren’t you protesting that? White police officers wouldn’t be there if you weren’t killing each other.”

NYPD Closes Unlicensed Bar, Told To Let It Be

Is this an FBI or ATF undercover operation or what? No wonder the Feds don't like local police. How can they catch crooks unless they pretend to be crooks? Are they only pretending? 

[From article]

Members of the Brooklyn South Vice Squad raided two illegal nightclubs set up in junkyards this past weekend — then got told by the local precinct to let them stay open, The Post has learned.
Cops burst into the open-air watering holes in East Flatbush around 3 a.m. Saturday, law enforcement sources said.
When no one could produce a liquor license, the cops prepared to bust the bartenders and close the clubs, known as Tiki Village and Soca Village.

Police, Military Investigate TASER Loaded Drone

[From article]
It is called the ‘Cupid Drone’ and was developed at Chaotic Moon Studios. The newly developed Chaotic Unmanned Personal Intercept Drone can shoot 80-thousand volts of electricity into a subject.

"We, as a society, should all be involved in the conversation of technology governance, not just the legislators who often do a knee jerk reaction, or the inventors and entrepreneurs who often don't think about some of the consequences of their technologies," Hurley continued.
This is something that doesn't just exist in video games anymore. The technology is here and not everyone is ready.
"We, as the people who have to live our everyday lives, often are either affected by or ruled by things that we never have a discussion about or are never involved in," continued Hurley

War On Drugs Targets Wrong Individuals

[From article]
The list of young stars being caught up in drug scandals or checking into rehab seems endless.
[. . .]
Such is the prevalence of drugs that a celebrity needs to be hospitalised or have a run-in with the law for the story to break in the quality press.
[. . .]
Yet what is different today is not that drug taking seems to be the norm, but that the drugs being taken have evolved and are easier than ever to obtain. More importantly the moral stigma of being seen to be on drugs has been hugely diminished.
[. . .]
Lindsay Lohan [admitted] on Oprah, claiming to take cocaine only because it allowed her to drink more.
[. . .]
Drug taking has become a fact of life, and it's true for bankers and lawyers as much as for film stars.
It's now become a story when someone feels the need to come out and say they don't do drugs,

Here's an idea, why not follow known drug addicted elite celebrities. They are easy to follow and to observe where and when they get their drugs. It makes the war on drugs much easier. Instead the law enforcement apparatus focuses on 70-year-old white males who do not drugs, and who were exploited by police and the FBI using him in an impaired state to fight organized crime for 15 years without paying him. Followed by 22 years of retaliation by crime families. Currently Harvard University campus police and their residential building superintendents conduct surveillance harassment, sleep disturbances every one or two hours every day, character assassination, insults, provocations, threats, and more. One more misguided priority of government wasting taxpayer funds.

FBI Officially Changes Priorities

[From article]
"Violent crime, property crime and white-collar crime: All those things had reductions in the number of people available to investigate them," former FBI agent Brad Garrett told Foreign Policy. "Are there cases they missed? Probably."
[. . .]
Back in 2000, the FBI sent prosecutors 10,000 cases. That fell to a paltry 3,500 cases by 2005. "Had the FBI continued investigating financial crimes at the same rate as it had before the terror attacks, about 2,000 more white-collar criminals would be behind bars," the report concluded. As a result, the agency fielded criticism for failing to crack down on financial crimes ahead of the Great Recession and losing sight of real-estate fraud ahead of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.

FBI Drops Law Enforcement as 'Primary' Mission

Limiting Campus Police Jurisdiction A National Issue

[From article]
Campus police around the country are increasingly expanding their jurisdiction beyond the school and into the surrounding neighborhoods, blurring a town-gown divide that colleges say is arbitrary when it comes to crime.
[. . .]
a proposed expansion of authority has stirred concerns in Washington, D.C., where residents say university police don't have the same level of training or transparency requirements as the city police. Campus police officers in the city have arrest powers on campus but participate in a separate, shorter training academy. And because private colleges generally aren't compelled by public records law to release the same information as public institutions and government agencies, some are concerned about a lack of accountability to the city and its residents.
"If one of their policemen acted inappropriately, there would be hardly any recourse. We'd have no information, no follow-up," said Ken Durham

None of this discussion addresses abuses of power which does happen on occasion by misguided officers. In one case at Harvard University an eager ambitious officer did a prominent professor a favor by arresting a person whose constitutionally protected speech and behavior offended the professor. The University refused to address the abuse of power. 

Another element of this is the lack of accountability, and over sight. Private police are answerable only to their employers. Large prominent university corporations, like Harvard University with $32 billion endowment have little respect for eccentric individuals, and critics. They will abuse their power as regular city and state fully trained officers will do. But the lack of accountability creates barriers to uncovering the abuses. At Harvard University, their police have been known to cover up felonies committed by university employees. They also abuse their powers as personal favors. It is important to limit the authority and jurisdiction of these campus police wannabes.

Woman Prison Guard Pregnant By Inmate Killer of Two Cops

There is a compelling reason to love the priorities of the law enforcement community in Massachusetts. Here's a charming man who was sentenced to death after being  convicted of killing two police officers. While in federal prison he gets a prison guard pregnant. But in Cambridge MA police working with crime families and those inspiring FBI informants, feminists, black racists and homosexuals, attack a 70-year-old white man and bar him from speaking with women and other kinds of humans. Shows how misguided the limousine liberals are in the god-forsaken host city of Harvard University, Lesley University and MIT.

Identity Politics and Hate Crimes

This argument is typical of useful idiots who subscribe to Communist propaganda about identity politics and hate crimes. Harvey Silverglate, Board Member of the ACLU is correct that hate crime laws are absurd. But since it is law they must be considered valid. Who's to question the wisdom of spineless elected officials in Massachusetts? It is ironic that the very people who demanded such laws are now prosecuted under them. Careful what you wish for, etc. In Cambridge where those laws thrive a man ignored my complaints about a woman harassing me at a local non profit. When I complained that he was discriminating based on gender the Executive Director told me he can't discriminate on gender because he was a man. But he was discriminating unlawfully because, if a man was accused of harassing a woman he would have acted. But because it was a man complaining he refused to act. That is the problem with the current US Attorney General who refuses to prosecute civil rights violations when the violator is black and the victim is white. It shows how distorted the law enforcement apparatus is due to Communist propaganda meant to divide the American people against themselves. It succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

No Common Sense Enforcing Laws

Here's an example of politicians writing laws because humans have little common sense in this country. It is a good idea to scrutinize deaths in or out of hospitals. Similar laws could be useful in MA where medical researchers are allowed to declare the cause of deaths and do their own investigations of deaths during experiments. They usually blame a "pre-existing condition," excusing themselves from any culpability. Police, District Attorneys and the Medical Examiner do not investigate research deaths. But the laws in MA that require reporting deaths to the DA or the Medical Examiner are not always complied with. This allows the researchers to get away with murder which at best can be classified as negligent homicide.

[From article]
"There was a little line on there near the bottom of the bill that said 'King county death tax: $50.' [. . .]
King County now requires a review of every death.

Technology is Amoral

Fertility drugs are one example of amoral technology that is available with no context. Police are unable to stop abuses of new technology even when there are laws in place. Police are negligently trained or intentionally refuse to enforce new laws because they require difficult protocols to gather evidence. Identity theft is a crime that people can understand. Yet police are clueless how to stop it. Criminals can steal and harm civilians while police have no methods to stop high tech crimes. Having eight babies after taking experimental drugs is not a crime. Yet the cost to society cannot be measured.

Not Illegal to Be Illegal in MA

Ahem! "In Massachusetts, technically it is not illegal to be illegal." For those of you from Stoughton who don't understand, you may violate whatever laws you want to violate in this state. No crime no time. Don't worry be happy. Enjoy! Just stay away from Arizona where typical Boy Scouts run the government stupidly, wanting to enforce the laws. Hahaha.
