1. more: officer who made a controversial arrest of a CVS worker shortly after he left work has been "separated as an empl

After a very brief internal affairs investigation, the officer who made a controversial arrest of a CVS worker shortly after he left work has been "separated as an employee" of the Edgewater Police Department.

The department made the announcement in a one-line Facebook post on June 5, Thursday evening.

Rippeon arrested Paul Wert, 22, on May 10 while he was sitting on a bench outside a closed CVS on Ridgewood Avenue in Edgewater. Wert, a CVS employee, was waiting for a Lyft transport to take him to his Daytona Beach home.

Rippeon approached Wert and loudly demanded to see his ID, which Wert didn't provide, saying he didn't break any laws. When his Lyft arrived, he said he was going to "go ahead and go," to which Rippeon replied, "No, you're not" and pulled out a taser.

Wert got off the bench for a moment, and Rippeon ordered him to stop, and he sat back down. Rippeon keyed his radio and said, "I've got one resisting."

4. Just watche a BUNCH of videos of cops trying to violate peoples' rights in many counties all over country

Is there some sort of open audition for ICE officers going on? Ever since Trump laid down his quota demands, shit is getting pretty deep. Bad cops all over are really getting aggressive and they get damned cranky when citizens know their rights and stand up for themselves.

It's June. The felon in the WH as 3-4 months of hot weather to get his riots on so he can set the military on Americans in our cities and towns. The felon is floundering. He knows it. He knows WE know it. Desperate, cornered criminals are dangerous.

Earlier, I read MontanaMama (ALWAYS read her posts!) post about the weird goings on in the Missoula area with a bunch of heavy hitters flying in. https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20371708]

Things are getting weirder by the hour.
