I agree. Blue is missing the point. No one is ignoring eye witnesses completely but camera evidence would be nice. For that potential (and likely) evidence to be put into the hands of the very suspects of the crime (the police) before having a chance to escape and then for those suspects to show nothing (they failed to produce any footage from that confiscated evidence absolving them of guilt and they failed to provide us with their own footage) is outrageous and, to me, should presume guilt. As a rule we, as a society, should not make it advantageous for cops to wrongfully confiscate and destroy evidence and if these cops are not convicted here then we have made such a thing a rule. Future cops need to know that when they are suspect they can not confiscate evidence like this without first being able to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, their innocence (which they have failed) or else they will be presumed guilty. This is unacceptable. What happened here, in all likelihood, is that footage was taken and deleted and anything after coming from law enforcement and various investigations is a circus designed to coverup the truth. I'm not buying it. I want murder convictions just for the cameras being confiscated the way they were. That should have never happened. and whoever confiscated those cameras need to be punished, severely.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/18102623141/so-its-come-to-this-seven-high-school-students-arrested-throwing-water-balloons.shtml#c1739 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:26:48 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/18102623141/so-its-come-to-this-seven-high-school-students-arrested-throwing-water-balloons.shtml#c1739 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/18265123163/reporters-find-exposed-personal-data-via-google-threatened-with-cfaa-charges.shtml#c637 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:26:27 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/18265123163/reporters-find-exposed-personal-data-via-google-threatened-with-cfaa-charges.shtml#c637
3/4 of Google's revenu in 2010 came from advertising and less than 1/100 came from search technologies. When you do the math, you start to realuze Google's priorities have shifted towards catering to advertisers rather than web users.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/15164823159/bad-day-prenda-continues-judge-rejects-stay-adds-1k-per-day-each-day-they-dont-pay-up.shtml#c624 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:25:50 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/15164823159/bad-day-prenda-continues-judge-rejects-stay-adds-1k-per-day-each-day-they-dont-pay-up.shtml#c624 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/18102623141/so-its-come-to-this-seven-high-school-students-arrested-throwing-water-balloons.shtml#c1715 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:25:47 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/18102623141/so-its-come-to-this-seven-high-school-students-arrested-throwing-water-balloons.shtml#c1715 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/01382223168/new-york-times-tells-startup-it-cant-even-mention-ny-times.shtml#c751 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:25:34 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/01382223168/new-york-times-tells-startup-it-cant-even-mention-ny-times.shtml#c751 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/06034223155/quack-professor-releases-dumbest-violent-video-game-theory-ever.shtml#c555 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:25:12 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/06034223155/quack-professor-releases-dumbest-violent-video-game-theory-ever.shtml#c555 How did this guy ever become a professor?

Actually, I believe it was from the same website where I got Max, my cat, a BSc and an MSc in macroeconomics by filling out a couple of forms and paying $750 on my credit card.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/14172323158/judge-not-impressed-prenda-alan-cooper-lawsuit.shtml#c858 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:23:15 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/14172323158/judge-not-impressed-prenda-alan-cooper-lawsuit.shtml#c858 The lack of bragging about how they are just misunderstood might remove Steele from the list of possibilities.
It might be Duffys wife, who would be much better served by getting out of her little ivory tower and see the scum she has been sleeping next to for what he truly is, and start asking another lawyer if her ass might end up in the sling too.

If it was posted via Mulvad or FL it would most likely be Steele.

There is also the outside chance it was posted using a DoD network or a GA IP and it would be the 'we're not criminals because gay marriage!' lunatic.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/01382223168/new-york-times-tells-startup-it-cant-even-mention-ny-times.shtml#c748 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:20:37 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/01382223168/new-york-times-tells-startup-it-cant-even-mention-ny-times.shtml#c748
