The cell-phone video of the McKinney police abuse is yet the latest in a string of amateur sleuths providing transparency into the tactics of law enforcement officers.

However, the McKinney is very different in one major way: It did not involve a murder, or even an arrest. What happened there was just power gone awry.

In Ferguson, Baltimore, South Carolina - the list just goes on and on - the bottom line is abuse of power by those we have paid to protect us. Now the average citizen has a new tool to protect themselves: Their cellphone.

Cellphone videos have, and will, change our society for the better. The transparency they allow sheds light on those who wish to abuse.

I think we have moved to a new era. Because the reality is when anyone sees the video of the 15-year old girl thrown to the ground while calling for her mother, they are disgusted. The lies of yesterday can no longer cover that up.

Just as we must all be judicious as to what we do in public lest it be on the homepage of youtube, so must police officers. And when they don't think they can get away with it, they will stop.

Ted Cruz loves to talk about how there will be a Second Amendment Solution if the government becomes out of control. In many ways he is right - what is happening in Baltimore to black men has many believing that the only way to find justice is through more violence.

As this is the first Second-Amendment Solution since Cruz announced his plan, I would expect he will be on the front lines in Baltimore defending the rights of the disenfranchised.

He has to be thrilled that he was proven right!

Ted - see ya in PigTown. They've never needed you more...

An ambassador is killed along with three Americans in war-torn Benghazi, Libya. The right is in outrage. "Four Americans have died! We must get to the bottom of this!" Senators Graham and McCain demand answers.

26 innocent children and teachers are gunned down while attending elementary school.

Where is the same outrage from the right?

This is hilarious:

Kevin Hassett, another adviser, said the campaign assumed the Romney plan would be a net gain for the middle class because it would create “5 to 10 million” jobs, but again offered no new information as to how the Romney campaign arrived at its number and what percentage of their plan they expect to be paid for by a hypothetical Romney boom.

10 million jobs???? Are you effin kidding me???

From US Dept of Labor:

Household Survey Data for July 2012

The number of unemployed persons (12.7 million) was essentially unchanged
in June, and the unemployment rate held at 8.2 percent. (See table A-1.)

________________________

So let me get this right: Mitt Romney has a plan for deregulation that would essentially end unemployment once and for all????? By deregulating businesses?

Holy crap. If this is true he should not only be president but he should win the Nobel Prize!

At this point, I don't see how this doesn't end up there...

Tampa. August. Sweltering heat. Rick "Frothy Mix" Santorum still has the sweater vest on. Romney is marching up and down the aisles shouting, "I will arrest anyone with pigment in their skin! I will deport all mexicans and execute anyone caught with birth control!!!"

Newt meets wife #4 and proposes to her on the Today show. Sarah Palin rides into town on wednesday in an Oscar Mayer weiner mobile painted red white and blue.

Christie declines the invitation. Eventually, it goes to Mista Frothy. He selects Jan Brewer as his running mate, with the condition she begin acne treatment immediately.

Obama is up 25 points by Friday. The election, for all practical purposes, is over.

And they vow to never go back to Tampa again...
