  • Police Brutality? Officers Taser Man For Trying To Save 3-Year-Old Son From House Fire

    What would you do if your son or daughter were trapped inside a burning building?

    Most parents would run in, no matter how dangerous the fire seemed, and attempt to save their child.

    That is what Louisiana man Ryan Miller attempted to do when his three-year-old stepson was trapped inside of the family’s burning home. But police prevented him from saving the child’s life — they tased Miller three times and arrested him because he attempted to enter the building.

    The house fire started around 1am. The parents were sleeping on the first floor and the three-year-old, Riley Miller, was asleep in his second story bedroom.

    The parents woke up to the smell of fire. They ran outside, called 9-11, and firefighters were on the scene within minutes. The entire time, the toddler was stuck in the burning home.

    Once firefighters got to the Miller’s home, they informed the parents that the house was too hot for them to enter.

    Ryan Miller then attempted to run in the house and save Riley. Officers responded immediately by tasing him three times and eventually arresting him.

    Riley was found dead a few hours later in his charred bedroom.

    Not surprisingly, the Miller family is furious over the situation.

    Lori Miller, Riley’s grandmother, said, “[Ryan] tried to get back in the house to get the baby. They took my son to jail because he tried to save his son.”

  • Police dog bites fifth grader when cops conduct mock classroom drug raid

    A classroom demonstration in Brazil, Indiana went awry last week when a police dog attacked a fifth grade boy. According to the Brazil Times, police officers visiting the school were conducting a mock drug raid on Oct. 17 when the dog bit the boy and left him with puncture wounds to the leg.

    Officers intended to demonstrate that drug-sniffing dogs can detect even the smallest amounts of an illegal substance on an individual. They assembled a row of students, planting a small amount of illegal drugs on one boy.

    Brazil Police Chief Clint McQueen told the Times that the dog, Max, and his handler, Ray Walters, have conducted these types of demonstrations uneventfully before.

    “It was an unfortunate accident,” McQueen said. “Wish it hadn’t happened like that but it did. We are trying to evaluate (the incident) to make sure nothing like this happens again.”

    The classroom demonstration was carried out ostensibly to educate the group of fifth graders “on drug awareness.”

    The photo, (credited to AP Photo/The Sacramento Bee, Randall Benton) is captioned, “A California Highway Patrol officer and another emergency responder stop a vehicle at a checkpoint near the neighborhood where a federal immigration officer was shot and three local police officers were wounded during a violent confrontation with a suspect in the Sacramento suburb of Roseville on Friday, Oct. 25, 2013.”

    As we saw during the Boston bombings manhunt, in complete violation of law, police seem to believe that so long as they are hunting a potentially dangerous suspect, the Constitution is null and void, and that martial law is in effect.
