The Brutal Reality of America’s Police State

PLEASE RATE THIS VIDEO : )
————————–

This is the first trailer for an upcoming documentary by Lucus, entitled: Brutal Reality – Rise of the Police State, which will be out on July 4th, 2008. For more info and videos, visit austexdude’s channel here on YouTube.

This video documents police abusing their power, killing people with tasers, and over stepping their authority. Rare footage and other scenes make for a riveting but gut-wrenching account of the tyranny that is looming over American life. If you think you’re free then you need to watch Brutal Reality and then think again!

When the truth about the 9/11 conspiracy comes to light, people like Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld may see the same fate as Saddam Hussein. Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda are CIA assets. The network they operate is funded through the ISI by the central intelligence agency. When you have building 7, freefall speed, Silverstein saying “Pull it” and all the vast evidence about September 11th, you come to understand the detail. There were bombs in the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon was hit by a missile. Flight 93 was shot down over Pennsylvania. The 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia which has direct ties to George Herbert Walker Bush. His father, Prescott Bush, funded Hitler and the nazi party. If we don’t stop this now, it will lead to World War 3.

Please subscribe to http://youtube.com/austexdude, and http://youtube.com/NufffRespect, to get REAL news that you may have missed on FOX, NBC, CBS, and CNN. Olbermann, Lou Dobbs, Bill Oreilly, or Sean Hannity, simply will not cover this topic. The Iraq war, Afghanistan, and coming Iran war are all based on the pretext of 9/11, which was a total lie. We are sending our soldiers off to war based on a lie. All this torture and death for a lie. This has to stop.

Exciting Career and Life as a Security Officer

A security guard or security officer is, usually, a privately-employed person who is employed to protect property and/or people. Usually security guards are uniformed and act to protect property by maintaining a high visibility presence and observing (either directly, through patrols, or by watching alarm systems or video cameras) for signs of crime, fire or disorder; then taking action and/or reporting any incidents to their client, employer and emergency services as appropriate.

The security officer motto is to “detect, deter, observe and report.” Security officers are not normally required to make arrests (but has the authority to make a citizens arrest) or otherwise act as police officers except in some United States jurisdictions in which the security officer is invested with arrest powers like those of a county sheriff. In contrast to the above mentioned motto, a Private Security Officer’s actual primary duty is prevention of crime. Security personnel do enforce company rules and can act to protect lives and property.

In fact, they frequently have a contractual obligation to provide these actions. Security Officers are often trained to perform arrests, operate emergency equipment, perform first aid, CPR, take accurate notes and write effective reports, and perform other tasks as required by the property they are protecting. In case of Armed Security Officers who are also called Private Police Officers, are required to go through additional training mandated by the state for carrying weapons such as baton, firearms, handcuffing, arrest and control and pepper spray trainings.

One major economic justification for security guards is that insurance companies (particularly fire insurance carriers) will give substantial rate discounts to sites which have a 24-hour presence; for a high risk or high value venue, the discount can often exceed the money being spent on its security program. This is because having a security guard on site increases the odds that any fire will be noticed and reported to the local fire department before a total loss occurs. Also, the presence of security guards (particularly in combination with effective security procedures) tends to diminish “shrinkage,” theft, employee misconduct and safety rule violations, property damage, or even sabotage. Many casinos hire security guards to protect the money when transferring it from the casino to the casino’s bank.

Security officers also perform access control at building entrances and vehicle gates by ensuring that employees and visitors display proper passes or identification before entering the facility. Security officers are often called upon to respond to minor emergencies (lost persons, lockouts, dead vehicle batteries, etc.) and to assist in serious emergencies by guiding emergency responders to the scene of the incident and documenting what happened on an incident report. In case of armed security officers, often they are required to respond like police officers until situation is under control and / or proper authorities arrive on the scene.

Although security officers are a distinct type of personnel from either police officers or the military, in the United States a very high proportion of security personnel, including most senior management personnel, are either former or retired members of one or both services. Many security officers who don’t fit this profile (young people in particular) use the job as a springboard into a police career.

Being a private security officer is by no means a lucrative endeavor. Most first line private security personal are paid a low wage which often does not reflect the risks they endure on the job.
Security officers are classified as either of the following

“In-house” or “proprietary” (i.e. employed by the same company or organization they protect, such as a mall, theme park, or casino)
“Contract,” (working for a private security company which protects many locations.)
“Public security” or security police
“Private Patrol Officers” , Patrol gated communities. i.e. Bel-Air Patrol
“Private Police Officers”, also known as Armed Security Officers

Industry terms for various security personnel include: Security , guards, agents, watchmen, officers, safety patrol , Armed Security , Private Police ,Loss Prevention Officers , Bodyguards , Executive Protection Officers . Other job titles in the security industry include dispatcher, receptionist, driver, supervisor, alarm responder, armed security officer, and manager.
Newer terms have been developing within the American security industry that tend to reclassify security personnel into three basic classes, as follows:
Security guards: These personnel, usually uniformed, are primarily responsible for the protection of property only and do not have a responsibility for anything other than basic visibility and reporting. Examples of security guards include night watchmen on construction sites, bank vault guards, and monetary transport guards of money and valuables.

Security officers: These personnel, also usually uniformed, are employed in functions that involve the protection of lives, property and the public peace on private property. Examples of security officers include apartment complex security officers, mall security officers, private patrol officers, and any security personnel that operate in an environment that includes a contractual obligation for the protection of lives and/or the public peace.
Security agents: These personnel, usually without a uniform, are primarily contracted or employed with a focus on apprehension rather than prevention on private property. Examples of security agents include loss prevention agents and personal protection agents (bodyguards).

Security personnel are not police officers but are often confused with them due to similar uniforms and behaviors, especially on private property. Security personnel derive their powers not from the state, as public police officers do, but from a contractual arrangement that give them ‘Agent of the Owner’ powers. This includes a nearly unlimited power to question with the freedom of an absence of probable cause requirements that frequently dog public law enforcement officers. Additionally, as legal precedents have further restrained the traditional police officers’ power of “officer discretion” regarding arrests in the field, requiring a police officer to arrest minor lawbreakers, private security personnel still enjoy such powers of discretion largely due to their private citizen status. Since the laws regarding the limitations of powers generally have to do with public law enforcement, private security is relatively free to utilize non-traditional means to protect and serve their clients’ interests. This does not come without checks, however, as private security personnel do not enjoy the benefit of civil protection, as public law enforcement officers do, and can be sued directly for false arrests and illegal actions if they commit such acts.

Where to eat at Walt Disney World ?

Walt Disney World offers its guests more than 100 different dining options.  Formal restaurants, family dining, theme dining, character meals, quick bites and treats from cart vendors are all available throughout Disney’s complex.  From mouthwatering steaks to sushi to smoked turkey sandwiches with avocado mayonnaise, dining in Walt Disney World is diverse and delicious.  The Florida vacation hot spot continually offers guests culinary choices to please even the most discerning palette.

There are four main theme parks at Walt Disney World.  Within each park reside a variety of sit-down restaurants, counter-service restaurants, theme or character dining options and food cart vendors.  Several of the best dining options at Disney World are eateries located within the theme parks.

Magic Kingdom

* Cinderella’s Royal Table

Located in Cinderella’s Castle, the “Dreams Come True Dinner” is a recommended dining experience, especially if you have a little princess in your party.  This is a character dining experience.  Characters that appear may include Cinderella, Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, Jasmine, Aladdin, Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, Princess Aurora and Snow White.

The dinner meal includes choices of appetizer, entree and dessert as part of a fixed priced meal. Appetizers range from green salad to a delicious corn and crab chowder.  The lemon lavender chicken is a recommended entree choice as are the pork chops or cavatappi pasta.  For dessert, don’t miss the créme brulée.

* The Crystal Palace

Located on Main Street U.S.A. around the corner from Casey’s Corner, The Crystal Palace has one of the best breakfast buffets in Disney.  Make a reservation for this restaurant to share a breakfast buffet experience with the character of Winnie the Pooh.  Dine on fluffy eggs, decadent pastries, fresh fruit, Mickey Ear waffles and amazing omelets.  The characters including Pooh Bear, Eyeore, Piglet, and Tigger will visit each table and pose for pictures while you eat.  The food is outstanding and the atmosphere festive.  Breakfast at The Crystal Palace is a great way to start a Disney day.

* Liberty Tree Tavern

To the left of Cinderella’s Castle is the pathway to Liberty Square.  In the square is the Liberty Tree Tavern, a great lunch spot serving an amazing New England clam chowder.  Visit the Tavern for a hearty lunch of tasty  New England pot roast, a juicy Angus cheeseburger or even a flavorful vegetarian potpie.  The Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake is recommended for dessert.

Epcot

Epcot is divided into two sections, the World Showcase and Future World, both with many great places to eat.  If trying dishes from different countries sounds exciting and delicious, plan several meals in the World Showcase.  There are eleven different countries represented serving sit-down meals, quick-bites and some of the tastiest coffee drinks in Epcot.  Future World offers an equally eclectic collection of food choices from traditional American burgers to pan-seared Ahi tuna.

* Le Cellier Steakhouse (World Showcase:  Canada)

One of the most popular restaurants in Walt Disney World, Le Cellier Steakhouse is one you will need reservations in order to get a table, even for lunch.  The atmosphere is warm and the food is extremely hearty and flavorful.  For an appetizer, start with the rich Canadian cheddar cheese soup.  It is a steakhouse, so a steak is recommended.  Excellent choices include the mushroom Filet Mignon and the coffee-rubbed Kansas City Strip Steak.  However, for the non-meat eater, the sauteed potato gnocchi is outstanding.  For dessert, consider the chocolate “Moose” or the apple-rhubarb crumble.

* The Biergarten Restaurant (World Showcase:  Germany)

A festive, family atmosphere, The Biergarten is an all-you-can-eat German buffet served in the Oktoberfest tradition.  There is a polka band and guests are encouraged to take a twirl on the dance floor in between feasting on the best German food at Disney.  Diners are seated at long tables with other guests so the atmosphere is very friendly.  The buffet includes hot and cold offerings as well as amazing pastries and strudels for dessert.  For beer lovers there are many German and European choices available.  On the buffet, do not miss the sauerbraten, Bavarian cabbage salad, homemade spaetzle, pork roast and baked veal loaf.

* Teppan Edo (World Showcase:  Japan)

Miso soup, sushi and Teppan-Yaki entrees are all served around a flattop grill/table combination and cooked to perfection by your personal chef.  Kids will love the show the table chef gives as he flips shrimp tails behind his back and creates a steaming volcano out of onion slices.  The food is fresh, hot and full of flavor.  The atmosphere is relaxing and suitable for  couples, families or larger parties.

* Coral Reef (Future World:  The Living Seas)

If you are going to eat seafood during a Disney World trip, this is the restaurant to visit.  They offer succulent seafood that is fresh and cooked expertly by top chefs.  For appetizers the creamy lobster soup and the shrimp and lobster cakes are superb.  The blackened catfish served over pepper jack cheese grits is spicy and full of rich flavors but for non-seafood eaters, try the wild mushroom lasagna or the grilled New York Strip Steak.  The almond gelato with passion fruit sauce is a dessert favorite.

* Sunshine Season Food Fair (Future World:  The Land)

Perfect for lunch, the Food Fair offers items from sandwiches and salads to noodle dishes and pork chops.  There is something for everyone and many of the fresh ingredients are grown right there in The Land’s greenhouses.

* Kringla Bakeri og Cafe (World Showcase:  Norway)

Viking coffee, espresso and pastries are all recommended at this small counter service stop.  This is the perfect place to grab a specialty coffee and treat before Epcot’s evening fireworks display.

Disney Hollywood Studios

* Hollywood Brown Derby

The Brown Derby is located on Hollywood Boulevard across from the giant Mickey Sorcerer’s hat.  It serves American food with Hollywood style and is most famous for its Cobb salad.  They are open for lunch and dinner but reservations are recommended.

* Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

Eating at this restaurant is like dining at an old-fashioned drive-in that only plays snippets of classic Sci-Fi movies.  The table are cars and you dine while the movie clips play.  It is a great place to eat with kids.  The Rueben is outstanding and the hamburgers are always a hit.  Not to be missed is the large and extremely filling ice cream sundae for dessert.  It is located on Commissary Lane.

* Toy Story Pizza Planet Arcade

A replica of Pizza Planet from the Toy Story movie, it is a great place for pizza, salads and fun.  It is located on the Streets of America across from Muppet Vision 3-D.

Animal Kingdom

* Tusker House

This restaurant located in the Africa area of the park is a lunch and dinner buffet.  It features American and African cuisine with dishes like couscous salad, hummus, curry chicken and rotisserie pork loin.  The warm banana pudding is excellent for dessert.

Dining in the Resorts

* California Grill
(Contemporary Resort)

Featuring Californian-Asian fusion cuisine, this amazing restaurant is located on the top floor of the Contemporary Resort with one of the best views of the evening’s fireworks from the Magic Kingdom.

* Boma (Animal Kingdom Lodge)

African and American cuisine served buffet style, Boma is a flavorful bounty of delicious foods.  Make sure to try the FuFu, mashed sweet and white potatoes spiced with cinnamon and coriander.

* Victoria and Albert’s (Grand Floridian)

This is the ultimate in elegant Disney dining.  Victoria and Albert’s is not for a casual family meal or a quick bite before taking in a fireworks display.  This fine dining, Disney style.  Meal choices include Poulet Rouge, Wild Turbot, lamb, duck and Australian “Kobe” beef tenderloin to name but a few.  Reservations are required.

Finding a good place to eat or dine is not difficult when visiting Walt Disney World.  Most restaurants and quick-service eateries are participating members of the Disney Dining plan. The Dining Plan can be included in most vacation packages and can save guests about 40 percent on their vacation dining.

It is strongly recommended for guests to make advanced dining reservations at most Disney table service restaurants, Character dining, Dinner Shows, and Grand Gatherings. Reservations can be made by calling (407) 939-3463 (407-WDW-DINE), through your concierge at your Disney Resort hotel, from your in-room telephone by touching 55, or by touching *88 on any Disney World resort pay telephone.

Security Careers – a Primer

Private security work makes for a good, stable job with low overhead requirements. You can do this fresh out of high school, and many college students work their way through their higher education. But it’s not for everyone.

You should have some concept of or interest in law enforcement, some degree of a conservative personality, and not be so far gone that you’re going to think wearing a security guard uniform makes you a super-hero. If you like to work night shift (or have to because of school) and like an active job where you’re on your feet a lot, and especially if you have good people skills, you are cut out for security.

The range of private security jobs cover a variety of tastes. Some of the most common posts:

* Industrial security – the most common type. This can range from a night watchman position to manning a gate and checking IDs. If you are a rover, you drive around on patrol, respond to alarms, check access points, and monitor activity. Public contact ranges from little to none, except if you control an access point in the daytime and even then you will only deal with employees of the company and vendors coming and going.

* Retail security – a much more active position. You will almost certainly be in a position of loss prevention. Watching for and detaining shoplifters, possibly preventing vandalism or car theft, and other kinds of patrol will all be in a day’s work.

* Residential security – very low level, you’ll be working apartment complexes and gated communities. Most likely checking passes at a gate and making two rounds or so per night, maybe handing out parking tickets or standing post at the home owner’s meetings. One big part of this work is checking for and preventing residential burglaries.

* Hospitality security – This is really very different from retail security, though the two fit in the same category. A retail hospitality business will be a hotel, casino, amusement park, stadium, or other recreational facility. The most stringent degree of this kind of work, requiring qualifications very close to that of a municipal police officer. Also the most busy; you will have to deal with every scenario you can imagine, and will never have a dull day.

* Civilian security – This actually qualifies as “bodyguard” work. You are hired by a private individual, usually fairly wealthy, to protect that person and their interests specifically. Generally regarded as “cushy” work.

Security work comes in a spectrum ranging from unarmed to light arms to heavy arms. Most work is of the unarmed variety, and you might have just you and your wits to keep you safe. Other positions which allow light arms might include carrying mace, pepper spray, a baton, handcuffs, or possibly a battery-powered stun gun. The fully armed positions will be where you carry a real gun or real shotgun. Whatever the device, you will need to take classes in the safe handling of your armaments and stay certified. The various laws from state to state and the needs of that particular post will determine what you carry.

If you work an unarmed position at night, especially by yourself, it is frequently recommended that you carry a “Mag”-style flashlight. These are the durable heavy metal lights you see in the hands of law enforcement professionals everywhere, and while they aren’t officially a “weapon”, they are hefty enough to come in handy in certain situations.

“Observe and report” is the mantra of most security positions. Under the law, you do not have the same authority as a police officer and you should never forget it. Your job will mainly entail being a professional witness, and secondly to confront people engaged in suspicious activity and telling them to leave, or arresting them and turning them over to the police.

The greatest danger in this line of work is to those who are unsure of their reach of authority. When in doubt, pull back and call the police; you are not the police and you do not have the training nor the authority to be the police. In any situation, seek to de-escalate rather than escalate. Do not turn a conversation into a dispute; do not turn a dispute into a fight. Never take on more than you can handle.

Do by all means behave as a good citizen. The “bad guys” aren’t all you have to worry about; you might also be called on to perform assistance to visitors to the business or to employees of that business. It is important that you maintain a conservative appearance and demeanor; take your job seriously and have a highly professional appearance and you will have an easier time of it. Run around with a pierced nose, a ponytail dyed punker green, and pay more attention to your cell phone or headphones that to your job and you will have no respect and possibly no job.

Training can be anything from a short course supplied by the company to career-school training to occupational programs for training in weapons to police-supplied courses. No matter how small, if you carry any kind of armaments, you will need training in their safe handling and application. The low requirements for entry and the relatively low stress of the job make this an excellent temporary career, and even not that bad of a permanent career.

Welcome to the Police State – Arpaio Protestors become victims of Police Brutality

Police brutality courtesy of Phoenix Police Department. There were no counter protestors there, so why were there riot police at all?

What’s next for us? First they ignored an assault by an Arpaio supporter, then they ignored another Arpaio supporter pulling out a gun on Mexicans. Now they have attacked a crowd with pepper spray and horses. Where do we go from here? What can we expect?

The police state is here.
