Murder in Cincinnati: Body Cam Video Released – Ray Tensing Charged With Murder of Sam Dubose

oe Deters, the Hamilton County Prosecutor, said this murder was “Another asinine, senseless shooting.” Deters went on to say that Dubose “Didn’t deserve to be shot in the head” and that “he didn’t even deserve to be tased.”

The video released today contradicts Officer Tensing’s prior statements. As seen in the video, Dubose was asked to unbuckle his seat belt and step out of the vehicle. Dubose apparently moved his foot off the brake, which caused the car to move. Without hesitation, the officer drew his weapon and fired, striking Dubose in the head. He was not being dragged by the vehicle, nor was his life in danger.

Bernie backs American aggression

Bernie Sanders, George Bush, Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronnie Reagan, Elizabeth Warren and the rest of the Millionaire’s Glee Club agree on continued aggression abroad to enhance the corporate bottom line.

Humans can embrace peace. Courage ends war.

“Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower

The Liberal Apologies for Obama’s Ugly Reign

“It is clear that, at best, U.S. ‘democracy’ is a guided one; at its worst it is a corrupt farce, amounting to manipulation, with the larger population objects of propaganda in a controlled and trivialized electoral process.”

Republicans work for the Fortune 500 and brag about it.
Democrats work for the Fortune 500 and lie about it.

Sanders, dogging for Hillary and the Democrats, was never even in the running..

STEPHANOPOULOS: So if you lose in this nomination fight, will you support the Democratic nominee?

SANDERS: Yes. I have in the past.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Not going to run as an independent?

SANDERS: No, absolutely not. I’ve been very clear about that.

Bernie Sanders is this election’s Democratic sheepdog.

Health Care is a Human Right

Health Care instead of Insurance Scams: Universal, Non-Profit Healthcare ~OO~ Everybody In and Nobody left out!

The money we could save with universal, nonprofit, single-payer health care would be enough to provide health care for everybody. And we deserve that.

Jill Stein can take the White House.

“We know Bernie supports Hillary. Hillary has promised to attack Iran. To take the White House, all Jill Stein has to do is tell the truth.”

Difference between Sanders and Stein: Difference between War and Peace

“Don’t let them talk you out of your power. They want you to think that you are powerless, that you have to go to the polls and vote for one of the Wall Street sponsored candidates. But, remember, what that means is not just wasting your vote on more of what’s hurting you, it’s actually using your vote as a weapon against yourself. In fact, you are the most powerful thing out there.”
Jill Stein

The Skinny on Hillary

Hillary Hawk Hell? No Thanks & Good Riddance.

“Hillary supports unending wars of choice and would continue the Bush-Obama-Clinton-Trump agenda. More war, munitions, bodies, and coffins… from across the globe, for the corporate bottom line and on our dime.”

“The Age of Austerity” by Jeff Nguyen

Historically, as the full weight of austerity measures are applied, the public eventually reaches a tipping point where it mobilizes towards resistance, thereby, necessitating the need for the militarized, police state to step in to suppress dissent.

Why does Elizabeth Warren support bombing hospitals and schools?

” attacks on hospitals are prohibited by the Geneva Convention.”
