Bummer. Anarchoblogs in English (2010-01-03). “It is fashionable to get worked up about the shackling of pregnant mothers giving birth in prison, or to advocate reform of "the system" ad nauseum. These are topics to get worked up about, but the proposed solutions are usually little better than bandaids. If people focused on ending the prosecution of victimless crimes–prostitution, drug use–a lot of nonviolent women (and men) would be free to deal only with our screwed-up society, not our screwed-up society plus the horrors of prison.” (Linked Sunday 2010-01-03.)

Bad Boys. Daily Brickbats (2009-11-30). In which an “elite” “anti-gang” unit within the Chicago city government’s police force turns out to be nothing more than the baddest gang on the block. Specially Operating government cops used their police powers to conduct repeated traffic stops without cause, steal their victims’ keys, storm their homes without warrants, and rob their victims of hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and drugs. Along the way they kidnapped several people, beat the hell out of them, and at one point even endangered the life of a diabetic victim by refusing to let him have insulin until he told them where his stash of money was hidden. Four of these out-of-control hyperviolent extortionist thugs, who made off with hundreds of thousands of dollars each, and who personally participated in kidnapping, torturing and nearly murdering those who stood in their racket’s way, will have all but one of the lesser charges against each of them dropped, and will spend six months in jail. All thanks to a special deal they cut with their fellow government employees at the District Attorney’s office. (Linked Monday 2009-11-30.)
