WHITE SILENCE EQUALS VIOLENCE’: BLACK LIVES MATTER BLOCKS TRAINS AT TWINS HOME OPENER

Videos posted to the Black Lives Matter Minneapolis account showed the rancor as local police officers attempting to disperse and, ultimately, arresting the chanting protesters.

The activists could be heard yelling various chants, including, “No justice, no peace. Prosecute the police” and “White silence equal violence

In addition to blocking light rails, protesters reportedly blocked several streets near Target Center.

Monday’s was merely the latest disruption carried out by the Minneapolis Black Lives Matter group in an effort to draw attention the police-involved shooting death of 24-year-old Jamar Clark.

Last month, a prosecutor announced that Officers Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze would not be charged for Clark’s death.

An investigation revealed that Officer Schwarze shot Clark after the suspect had grabbed Officer Ringgenberg’s firearm during a brief scuffled with the young man. The November shooting was deemed an act of self-defense.

Judge clears cop of sex assault of colleague’s 9-year-old, orders counseling

A cook County judge who had cleared a longtime Chicago police sergeant of the sexual assault of a colleague’s young daughter, convicting him instead of misdemeanor battery, ordered the cop Wednesday to undergo up to two years of sex offender counseling.

In explaining the unusual move, Judge Charles Burns said prosecutors had failed at trial to prove, as required by law, that Dennis Barnes fondled the girl for his own sexual arousal, yet the judge said he believed “something was going on, and that’s something that I find disturbing.”

The alleged victim’s mother, herself a Chicago police officer who had invited Barnes to her home for the first time for a family barbecue, blasted the judge’s decision, saying she felt Barnes had been given preferential treatment because he was a Chicago cop.

“I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t believe it because of all the evidence,” she said, wiping away tears after court Wednesday as she recalled the judge’s decision to find Barnes guilty of a lesser, nonsexual offense after a short bench trial in January. “The judge even admitted that it disgusted him, so why would you say it’s only a misdemeanor battery?

IPhone could ID unknown San Bernardino attacker , prosecutor says

Information contained in an encrypted iPhone could help finally answer whether there was a third assailant in the San Bernardino terror attack that killed 14 people, according to court papers filed by the county’s district attorney.

San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said Friday that the question of a third attacker has nagged investigators despite no supporting evidence.

“We’ve never been able to completely eliminate it,” he said. “We know we have some witnesses that said they thought they saw three … some saw two, some saw one. The majority said two, and the evidence we have up to this point only supports two.”

Still, he said investigators would like to definitively answer the question, and unlocking the phone could help do that.

Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, opened fire Dec. 2 at an annual training of his San Bernardino County co-workers. They died hours later in a shootout with police. The 14 people killed marked the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001.

In a brief filed in federal court Thursday, San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael Ramos cited two 911 calls reporting three perpetrators during the attack.

“The information contained solely on the seized iPhone could provide evidence to identify as of yet unknown co-conspirators …” according to Ramos’ brief.

The brief also suggested that the county-owned iPhone used by Farook may have introduced a “lying-dormant cyber pathogen” endangering the county’s computer network.

Burguan said he’s never heard that theory and knew of no problems.

Such a breech is technically possible but unlikely, said David Meltzer, a computer security expert and chief research officer at TripWire, a commercial IT security firm.

If an employee wanted to introduce malicious software into the county’s network, Meltzer said they would be more likely to use a desktop or laptop PC because it’s easier to download and manipulate malicious code on a PC’s operating system.

The district attorney is among many weighing in on the fight between Apple and the government ahead of a March 22 hearing in which Apple is asking a judge to reverse an order requiring the company to create a software program that overrides iPhone security features.

TAMIR RICE FAMILY LAWYER: PROSECUTOR AVOIDING ACCOUNTABILITY

 Subodh Chandra says the Rice family wants the officers held accountable and it seems “the prosecutor’s office has been on a 12-month quest” to avoid it.

Reports by outside experts were released Saturday by the Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County Prosecutor’s Office. They concluded the patrolman had reason to perceive Tamir as a threat before shooting him last November.

Justice inspector general finds federal prosecutor sent sensitive materials to personal email

The Justice Department’s watchdog has found that a federal prosecutor improperly transmitted sensitive government documents to a personal email account.

A report Tuesday by the Office of the Inspector General said the prosecutor, a current assistant U.S. attorney, mishandled sensitive but unclassified information. The revelation comes as the department is reviewing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a home email server to handle sensitive information.
