“Killer cops aren’t welcome here”: Cop Who Killed Kelly Thomas Driven Out of Restaurant

They’re getting ready to f*ck you up” to Kelly Thomas before beating him into a coma? Remember that, despite video evidence of the beating that ultimately led to Thomas’s death, an Orange County jury inexplicably acquitted Ramos and let him walk free? That jury may have been easy on Ramos, but it appears that citizens won’t be so kind.

Last weekend Ramos visited a Denny’s restaurant in California, about a mile from where the brutal beating of Kelly Thomas occurred. Customers recognized Ramos and began complaining about his presence. One customer snapped a photo of him getting up to leave and posted it to the Facebook page We Copwatch: Here’s the caption that was posted with the photo: California Missing Persons : California Missing Persons Information & News from Redding Record Searchlight (Redding, CA) List of people who disappeared mysteriously.

California court officials have warned that Gov. Jerry Brown is planning to cut another $200 million from the state’s court budget, according to the Sacramento Bee. The court system was initially promised that the $200 million was part of what would be received for the next fiscal year, state administrative director of the courts Judge Steven Jahr said in a memo. State courts have already faced drastic budge cuts this year (see Gavel Grab). President of the Consumer Attorneys of California, Brian Kabateck, says that civil court services are at the highest risk without enough funds. “Average Californians are going to be lacking in court services they need,” Kabateck said.

The Legislative Analyst’s Office is estimating that state courts will receive about $1.2 billion in the next budget, the article says, and $419 million that was cut previously will be restored.

It Only Seems That Political Corruption Is Rampant. With the indictment last week of the former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell on fraud and conspiracy charges, one might surmise that high-level political scandal is breaking out all over.

It Only Seems That Political Corruption Is Rampant

And in a way, one would be right: It has been a good year, or perhaps a bad one, for hauling politicians before judges. Three members of the House of Representatives pleaded guilty to, or were convicted of, crimes in 2013, more than any other year since 1981, when the now-cinematized Abscam sting operation put six House members and a senator behind bars.

Trends in News Consumption: 1991-2012 Overview The transformation of the nation’s news landscape has already taken a heavy toll on print news sources, particularly print newspapers.

Online and digital news consumption, meanwhile, continues to increase, with many more people now getting news on cell phones, tablets or other mobile platforms. And perhaps the most dramatic change in the news environment has been the rise of social networking sites. These are among the principal findings of the Pew Research Center’s biennial news consumption survey, which has tracked patterns in news use for nearly two decades.
