June 14, 2013
In Chile, thousands of students angered at rising education costs, clashed with police in the capital, who responded with tear gas and water cannons. The students had flooded the streets for a peaceful march, still wearing their uniforms and backpacks, before it then turned violent. At least 40 were arrested. The students oppose the fact they have to pay 75% of the cost of their own educations – one of the highest rates in the world.

VIDEO — Anti-G8 protesters march through London
PressTV
June 13, 2013
BAE Systems – the UK’s largest arms manufactures – was the first stop on what would be a fast-paced journey across Central London highlighting the capital’s ties to the global arms trade. With scores of protestors arrested during Tuesday’s Stop G8 demos, the police presence was a heavy one. Demonstrators from a coalition of anti-capitalists groups explained why the arms firms provoked their anger. With just days to go before the G8 Summit kicks off in Ireland the capital is the focal point. With the demonstrators taking the media and other protestors on what seemed like a magical mystery tour of locations associated with the arms trade in London.

“Police had responded to calls for a man walking into traffic on the Lincoln Alexander Expressway near Upper Wentworth. He was ordered off the highway, complied and climbed up the embankment towards his townhouse.
The officers followed him behind a berm where, shortly thereafter, witnesses heard between three and eight rapid-fire gunshots.”

Just as promised in previous article I told you we’d keep you updated. The man who got shot on June 7th 2013 is known as Steve Mesic, who has a child on the way with his wife that he left behind. While Warren, Rob and I were doing street activism and raising awareness downtown Hamilton about these issues, we sychronisitically ran into one of Steve’s friends who described Steve as a non violent person who never got into trouble with police. At the exact same time another of one Steve friends driving in vehicle stopped and told us Steve was one of the best guys in the world. From the sounds of it Steve was a good guy and it comes as a shock to the people that know him, that police would perceive him as a threat.
On the day of the shooting Steve just checked himself out of the hospital after voluntarily admitting himself for a 72 hour assessment. No known details as to what his problem was or how he was feeling when he left. He was found walking home on the highway which is unusual. The police were called because of complaint of Steve walking on the highway and shortly after he was shot dead.
In all fairness, in my opinion Steve was temporarily mentally ill, speculating he had some type of depression which could’ve been the reason why he checked himself into the hospital. Now I could be wrong but all there is left is speculation because no one from the family will talk. I only found his name out accidentally by running into his friends on the street.
Chief of Hamilton Police, Glenn De Caire, at a community meeting, stated that when dealing with mentally ill people police are trained to defuse the situation and to get the person the help they need. He also stated the police are only allowed to use lethal force in accordance with the Use Of Force Model. It seems like these officers did not exercise and execute the training they were taught. When I called De Caire up to confront and tell him he should hold the officers accountable for their actions, his secretary informed me that he went on a couple week vacation. Did he go on vacation to avoid people that would like to talk to him about this matter? Or maybe he’s on vacation spending $44,410 in donations from Enbridge Pipelines Inc. They say it’s for equipment but you never know, wouldn’t be hard to pocket a few thousand.
The officers names have not been released by Hamilton Police or the SIU and will only be released if they are convicted of a crime. If they are not convicted we will be left in the dark until someone exposes it.
This has got to end. Not all police officers are corrupt, power hungry and have psychopathic tendencies. But you’d be a fool to believe that there is no such thing as corrupt, power hungry psychopathic cops. They exist and they should be tried for their crimes like the rest of us. Proper filtration systems need to be put into the hiring process to prevent psychopaths from being hired onto police services.

Brutal attack on Ottawa inmate cited in scathing report on Ontario jail guards

Ombudsman Andre Marin is seen at the Ontario legislature in Toronto on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 following the release of his report into jail guard brutality.

A mentally ill inmate was the victim of a violent attack by a the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre, according to the Ontario’s ombudsman, who is warning that the province’s jail guards are brutalizing inmates and then covering up the abuse.
In a report released today, Andre Marin slams what he calls the “code of silence” around the problem.
His report says some correctional staff have committed “brazen acts of violence.”
Justice Department Refuses to Release Interpretation of NDAA
P.A.N.D.A. People Against The NDAA
June 8, 2013

In April of 2012, Matt Ehling, President of Public Record Media, LLC, made a formal request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to the Obama Administration’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), which is part of the Department of Justice (DOJ). Ehling requested the administration’s legal opinions and notes about subsections 1021 and 1022 of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, which are the parts of the NDAA involved in much public controversy and litigation since 2001. The FOIA mandates the OLC respond within twenty days.
At first, the OLC said they would not respond in the time period allowed because of all the other requests for information made to them, but would reply as soon as possible. Ehling asked how long that might be. They said maybe in a few months, but couldn’t guarantee it. When questioned further, the OLC refused to comply with the FOIA at all. They said they were exempt, citing the administration’s opinions were “protected by the deliberative process privilege”, and “not appropriate for discretional release”. On the surface, these two excuses seem more plausible than “We’re too busy”, but on closer inspection, this claim also violates the FOIA.
Exemptions to the FOIA are specific. To qualify as an exemption, the material must be both “deliberative” and “pre-decisional”. The deliberative process is similar to private conversations protected under attorney-client privilege in a court case. Pre-decisional refers to discussions which take place before a case is concluded or a law is enacted. However, Ehling only requested post-decisional information, that is, material after the NDAA was passed, material which determines how the law will be carried out. Therefore, since the information requested was not both deliberative and pre-decisional, the OLC’s objection is invalid. As OLC attorneys specialize in this area of law, they knew this all along.
The OLC also claims that material in the 2012 NDAA subsections 1021 and 1022 is not appropriate for release. Under those two subsections, President Obama and all future presidents can accuse anyone of being a terrorist, incarcerate them, deny them trial, forbid them access to council and send them to a foreign prison. It is not only appropriate, but essential that U.S. citizens and anyone visiting this country know how the government plans to use this law. That the government is forbidden from developing “secret laws” has been upheld in court.
What is so damning in the Obama administration files that the OLC is willing to violate the law to hide them? They must obey the law, specifically, the FOIA.
As Obama’s Department of Justice has frequently refused to comply with legally binding requests for information, other questions comes to mind.
Does the DOJ consider the concept of obeying the law tiresome? Do they consider themselves above the law? Since the crafters of the NDAA seem to consider the Constitution an annoyance, this would be consistent behavior.
