Amazing new song by our national treasure, Pete Seeger, via Rolling Stone. Just posted it on my other blog but figured I better put it up here too.

Killing Them Safely - Trailer (by Nick Berardini)

In the summer of 2008, Stanley Harlan was pulled over by police in the small Missouri town of Moberly. Minutes later, he was fighting for his life. It was a fight he would ultimately lose. As he lay dying in front of his mother, who begged for an ambulance, police officers mocked him. On August 28, 2008, just after midnight, Stanley Harlan was tasered by Moberly Police for 31 seconds. Minutes later, he was dead.

The next day, the police portrayed Stanley Harlan as a violent criminal. They claimed that he attacked the officers on the scene. They said he was dangerous. They said, “Policy and procedure were followed to the letter.”

But over the course of several months, the facts of what really happened to Stanley Harlan took shape. He was not threatening, dangerous, or violent. The fact was, he wasn’t even committing a crime when officers killed him.

Killing Them Safely is the gripping investigation into how Stanley Harlan was murdered by the police, and how he is not alone. Several hundred North Americans have died following a taser application, while the private company that makes the weapon insists that it is physically impossible to kill someone with a taser. Killing Them Safely promises to leave you on the edge of your seat, guessing for answers to unthinkable questions.

Chocolate Covered Potato Chips, please.

Why not french fries and chocolate fondue? Come to think of it, sweet potato fries and chocolate fondue might actually be kind of awesome.

Without the benefit of their state’s strict new immigration law, officers from a single Arizona county helped deport more than 26,000 immigrants from the U.S. through a federal-local partnership program that has been roundly criticized as fraught with problems. Statistics obtained by The Associated Press show that the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office was responsible for deportations or forced departure of 26,146 immigrants since 2007. That’s about a quarter of the national total of 115,841 sent out of the U.S. by officers in 64 law enforcement agencies deputized to help enforce immigration laws, some since 2006, under the so-called 287(g) program.

"We recorded it on tape, we press it to vinyl, and the digital is the archive of this physical thing that exists in the world,” Mr. Butler said. “We’re preserving it and using digital as a mode of distribution, but ultimately there was something real that was made."

On my other blog.

Jermaine Williams, a 30-year-old African-American man from Bolivar County, MS, died in police custody on July 23, 2010. Little has been released about the circumstances of his death—except that the local deputy coroner is calling it a homicide by taser.

"The easy way to rebel early on for us, the White Stripes, was not to give out information like everybody else was doing, and not give it to them in the way they wanted it. Rock ’n’ roll and punk rock rebelled in 50,000 ways, and what’s left? There’s not much left. The things that always bugs me as a person, as a creator of things, was that we’re sort of giving everything away, which seems to be anti-showbiz, in a sense."
