80 percent of girls in juvenile detention have been sexually or physically abused
Roughly 80 percent of girls in juvenile detention centers have been sexually or physically abused according to a study released on Thursday by the Human Rights Project for Girls, the Georgetown Law Center on Poverty and Inequality and the Ms. Foundation for Women.
Because many of the girls have been incarcerated for issues related to their trauma or abuse, according to the report, its authors recommend screening children for sex trafficking, trauma and abuse, as well as no longer arresting girls for pros ution and low-level crime.
The report, led "The Sexual Abuse To Prison Pipeline," says that detention centers often increase trauma for girls who have previously been abused, with 88 percent of youth in the juvenile justice system residing in facilities without licensed professionals as mental health counselors. The report proposes reforming mental health care inside juvenile facilities in order to deal with the complex trauma of many of the girls and decrease recidivism rates.
Women are overwhelmingly incarcerated for nonviolent offenses, according to the report, and the majority disproportionately are women of color coming from low-income backgrounds. The report suggests the leading causes of arrests for girls--truancy, substance abuse and running away--are also all common symptoms of abuse.
"It's victim-blaming of the worst kind," said Lindsey Rosenthaal, one of the authors of the study in a conference call with reporters, according to Al-Jazeera.
The report says that sexual abuse is one of the primary predictors of girls' entry into the juvenile justice system, and while levels of abuse varied by state. Some states, such as Oregon had rates as a high as 93 percent of girls experiencing sexual or physical abuse.

‘It’s my property right now’: Video shows Texas cop shove homeowner who questioned traffic stop in his yard
Ronald Warnell spotted two Orange officers on his property after they stopped a bicyclist for a reflector violation
The homeowner, a black man in his 60s, asked officers why they were on his property, and he said Officer Dylan Mulhollan grew agitated right away.
“I don’t know what was his problem, he definitely was irate, having a bad day or something,” said Warnell.
Video from Mulhollan’s body camera shows the officer order Warnell to back up, and the homeowner reminds him that police were on his property.
“No, no — it’s my property right now,” Mulhollan says.
Warnell objects, telling the officer it was not his property.
“You need to get your laws straight, brother,” Warnell says.
The officer eventually explains that the bicyclist rode onto Warnell’s property during the traffic stop and then ordered the homeowner to back up.
“Make me,” Warnell says, and he and the officer continue arguing.
Mulhollan orders the homeowner to place his hands behind his back, but he refuses – and then the officer shoves him, knocking the older man to the ground.
Warnell suffered a minor injuries to his lip and knee, and his blood pressure shot up during the confrontation.
Internal investigators agreed that Warnell never acted in an abusive or threatening manner toward the officers, and they said Mulhollan’s actions raise doubts about his ability to control his aggression when his authority is questioned.

How the NYPD Uses Facebook to Surveil, Entrap and Arrest Teenagers
In October 2012, then-New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly announced a new initiative, called “Operation Crew Cut,” which would target gang activity by focusing on so-called street crews. Kelly doubled the size of the anti-gang unit to 300 police officers, assigned to the task of surveilling teenagers on Facebook. Many of these kids are under 18, some as young as 12, and just about all of them are black and brown, from low-income neighborhoods.
The officers involved are encouraged to make fake Facebook profiles in order to spy on individuals’ Facebook statuses. The operation often entails reading private Facebook messages between friends and is sometimes coupled with phone and video surveillance. Soon press releases were coming out of the NYPD offices announcing dozens of alleged gang members had been arrested due to the Crew Cut initiative.
The operation began to draw criticism, however, as people questioned why teenagers were being arrested on obscure conspiracy charges that were meant to take down serious organized crime. One teenager, Jelani Henry, said he was held in Rikers for nearly three years simply because of his associations on Facebook and his likes and comments on various Facebook posts.
"The mix of social media and conspiracy statutes creates a dragnet that can bring almost anybody in," attorney Andrew Laufer told The Verge. "[I]t’s a complete violation of the Fourth Amendment and the worst kind of big brother law enforcement.”
On June 4, 2014, the largest NYPD raid in history occurred as a result of Operation Crew Cut. Some of the kids arrested had been surveilled as young as age 12 and four years later were (now, at age 16) charged as adults, and faced dozens of years in prison for allegedly conspiring to commit crimes on Facebook.
But it was in the aftermath of the murders of Officer Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos last December that the NYPD found a new purpose for Operation Crew Cut: arresting teenagers, most of them black and Latino, who wrote, shared or liked anti-cop Facebook statuses. The pretext was that the alleged killer of the officers, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, who then committed suicide, had posted his desire to "put wings on pigs" on Instagram before setting out to kill cops.
Following the murders, NYPD Commissioner William Bratton promised to take social media threats against the police more seriously. New York wasn’t alone; overzealous arrests based on anti-cop social media posts were occurring across the country.

Why the FBI Wants "Special Access" to Your Smartphone
What is FBI director Comey asking for?
Comey called for a “front-door” approach to customer data access in an October 2014 speech but he was unclear about how this might work outside of a nebulous call for tech companies to build “intercept solutions” into their products. National Security Agency (NSA) Director Michael Rogers proposed something a bit more concrete in April when he suggested that technology companies be required to create a digital key that could open any smartphone or other locked device, but dividing that key into pieces so it could not be used unilaterally. The Center for Democracy & Technologyquickly shot down the split-key proposal as impractical.
In his written statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Comey was careful to avoid asking companies to allow surrep ious “backdoor” access to customer data and communications. Do ents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden in 2013 indicated that his former agency had done this, for example, by deliberatelyweakening encryption standards issued by the National Ins ute of Standards and Technology. The backlash against the government’s alleged tampering with encryption standards and government demands for customer data has created a growing rift between Silicon Valley companies and Washington, D.C.
Why does the government say it should have this capability?
Federal law enforcement officials are concerned that criminals and terrorists will go “dark” by hiding their communications in encrypted e-mails and smartphones. Newer versions of the Apple iOS and Google Android mobile operating systems have emphasized encryption, to the point where company executives have said they would be unable to unlock customer data for law enforcement even if ordered to do so. “With sophisticated encryption, there might be no solution [for law enforcement], leaving the government at a dead end—all in the name of privacy and network security,” Comey said in October. Others in law enforcement have taken even more extreme positions. “Apple will become the phone of choice for the pedophile,” John Escalante, chief of detectives for the Chicago Police Department, told The Washington Post in September.
New York City District Attorney (NYCDA) Cyrus Vance, who likewise testified before the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, was more specific in his objection to device encryption. In his written testimony, he stated that asking his office to investigate the more than 100,000 criminal cases they handle each year without smartphone data is to “fight crime with one hand tied behind our backs.” Following the hearing, Wiredreported that the NYCDA’s office has since September encountered 74 iPhones whose full-disk encryption locked out a law enforcement investigation. Vance later singled out Apple during his testimony for having a double standard with regard to its encryption policy. The company allows its customers to have sole possession of the decryption key for gadgets running iOS 8. Meanwhile, Apple does have the ability to decrypt customer data stored in the company’s iCloud storage service if ordered to do so.
The FBI does need to intercept communications from time to time. Doesn’t Comey have a point?
Security experts have criticized law enforcement officials for overstating the need for access. “It's all bluster,” security expert Bruce Schneier wrote on his blog in October. Schneier, one of 15 co-authors of the new report by Massachusetts Ins ute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), added, “Of the 3,576 major offenses for which warrants were granted for communications interception in 2013, exactly one involved kidnapping. And, more importantly, there's no evidence that encryption hampers criminal investigations in any serious way. In 2013 encryption foiled the police nine times, up from four in 2012—and the investigations proceeded in some other way.”

ANOTHER “TERROR” ARREST; ANOTHER MENTALLY ILL MAN, ARMED BY THE FBI
U.S. law enforcement officials announced another terror arrest on Monday, after arming a mentally ill man and then charging him with having guns.
ABC News quoted a “senior federal official briefed on the arrest” as saying: “This is a very bad person arrested before he could do very bad things.”
But in a sting reminiscent of so many others conducted by the FBI since 9/11, Alexander Ciccolo, 23, “aka Ali Al Amriki,” was apparently a mentally ill man who was doing nothing more than ranting about violent jihad and talking (admittedly in frightening ways) about launching attacks—until he met an FBI informant. At that point, he started making shopping lists for weapons.
The big twist in this story: Local media in Massachusetts are saying Ciccolo was turned in by his father, a Boston Police captain.
The FBI affidavit says the investigation was launched after a “close acquaintance … stated that Ciccolo had a long history of mental illness and in the last 18 months had become obsessed with Islam.”

You believe the FBI would tell the truth about entrapping a mentally ill "terrorist"? You are such a ing moron.
It amazes me the lengths you'll go to to defend Muslim terrorists. Had this kid been a white redneck spewing hate and plans to kill on the Internet and the FBI made contact you'd be singing a different tune.
Yeah, I'm sorry, but if a dude is mentally ill, violently ranting on the internet, takes up a Muslim name, and gets turned in by his Dad, who HAPPENS to be a Boston Police Chief, where some people just HAPPENED to cause a terrorist attack a few years ago... yeah I'm ok with that. More than ok.
Bump for another boutons disappearance. Awaiting the non-answer and next thinkprogress article

Man Left Paralyzed After Police Filled Him with Bullet Holes for 8 Ounces of Weed
On April 16, as Betton played his XBOX, multiple armed men, dressed in militarized gear, busted down his door and swarmed his apartment. Upon seeing Betton, they began firing — and firing.
Bretton was hit at least 9 times by bullets, bought and paid for with tax dollars and used to enforce America’s immoral and deadly War on Drugs.
The agents found $970 in Betton’s pants. From his apartment, they seized 222 grams of pot, which is about 8 ounces.
Betton said doctors found at least nine gunshot wounds, including ones to his stomach, legs, and arms. He suffered organ damage and spent weeks in a coma. He was hospitalized for months and is now unable to move his legs — for what?
Originally the members of the 15th Circuit Drug Enforcement Unit said Bretton fired on them so they were forced to shoot back at him. However, on Friday the (SLED) State Law Enforcement Division’s investigation revealed that there was no evidence to support that Bretton ever fired a weapon.
Two weapons were found inside the home, but police agree that they were not fired. But this information is not stopping the prosecutor from justifying the multiple shots fired into Bretton.

cops enter a woman's home and arrest her while she is ass naked
A woman handcuffed naked by a Chandler police officer who entered her home illegally is planning to file a lawsuit against the city.
“I felt helpless. I felt violated. And honestly, I felt molested,” said Esmeralda Rossi.
Chandler Police launched an internal investigation after the incident. One of the officers involved retired in the middle of that investigation.
Police arrived at Rossi’s home after receiving a call about an argument between her and her estranged husband.
“I was in the shower,” Rossi said. “My daughter came to the shower and said there are two officers at the door. So I just grabbed a towel.”
When she answered the door, there were two Chandler Police officers. One of those officers was Doug Rose.
Rossi said Rose became very aggressive and she told him to wait at the door so she could go get a cell phone.
“It made me very uncomfortable,” Rossi said. “So I closed the door. I turn to go into my living room, and I probably get about five steps in; and all of a sudden, I just hear boots running in after me, telling me stop or I’ll arrest you.”
At that point, both Rossi and her daughter begin recording. That’s when things turned south.
“This was not the proper treatment of a citizen,” said Marc Victor, Rossi’s attorney. “This was disgusting. This was barbaric.”
Police records show that investigators believed Rossi was trying to agitate Rose.
Rossi also admits she took an at ude with the officer after he illegally entered her home.
“Any one of us would be upset if a police officer barged into our homes without permission,” Victor said. “She had a right to be upset.”
The cell phone video was influential evidence in the internal investigation. Unedited copies were provided to ABC15 by Rossi and her attorney.
Rossi was never charged with a crime, records show.
After reviewing the incident, Chandler Police internal investigators determined Rose entered the home illegally and without probable cause. The investigation also determined that Rose didn’t do ent arresting or un-arresting the woman or the fact that she was naked.
There was also no video from his body camera for the call, records show.
After the incident, the other officer involved immediately contacted his supervisor to raise questions about Rose’s actions. The second officer was cleared of wrongdoing.
Chandler Police declined to comment, citing the potential lawsuit. Rose also didn’t respond to requests for comment.
