Retarded is an understatement when it comes to describing the human waste that is the owner of http://gurugossip.blogspot.com - a blog devoted to whining about Gurus on YouTube. Oh boo-hoo, you fucking child. What did the gurus ever do to you? Don't hate just 'cause yo ugly. <br /><br />Here is an example of the kind of dumb-ass posts you'll be likely to find on GuruGossip:<br /><br /><blockquote>Msfililocalola aka Msfili aka Ashlee Abella - update <br />So, I got an email from a supposed "real" friend of Ashlee Abella correcting me on the whole welfare thing. She's not on welfare. Her and her family actually have numerous foster children that they collect money for. This is why Ashlee will often refer to Friday as payday. That's the day she collects the cheque that is meant to be spent on the foster kids. That's class personified!!<br /><br />FYI--- Torok, stickylipglossx and juicytuesday28 have no involvment in what I post on this blog. I post what I want to post and that's the end of the story. The email I got did NOT come from juicytuesday28 or stickylipglossx. If Msfili weren't guilty of something, she would have had no reason to go all psycho and delete her YouTube stuff. Use your heads, darlings. </blockquote><br /><br />Um, stalk much, bitch? Maybe you should get a real life instead of getting stuck on reporting on the lives of others? Don't you have "Gossip Girl" reruns to watch? Wasn't the new "Twilight" movies playing in your area? I'm assuming you're some teen bitch, 'cause who else could be that dumb and vaccuous? <br /><br />I also read this little gem in the comments section:<br /><br /><blockquote> GuruGossiper said... <br />If you want to report her, here's the info. Got this emailed to me from someone.<br /><br />Foster Care Services<br />222 Provencher Boulevard<br />Winnipeg MB R2H 0G5<br />Phone: 944-4288 <br />Fax: 944-4666 or 944-4503<br /><br />(NAME AND ADDRESS REMOVED BY<br />SHANGI)<br /><br />For the person that claims that fostering is a job.... wrong. Fostering is a service that you volunteer to do because you want to help children in need. It doesn't matter where you live. The money provided by the government to foster parents is meant to be spent on the costs of providing for the foster children. It's not a pay cheque.</blockquote><br /><br />You are beyond sad. Posting someone's info like that? That's beyond sad.<br /><br />TO REPORT THIS BITCH: http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/request.py?page=main_tos&blog_ID=4453912724191002717&blog_URL=http://gurugossiper.blogspot.com/MadShangihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694475116786658432noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132135046040395852.post-90604842576370592842009-08-24T18:31:00.001-07:002009-08-24T18:31:55.656-07:00What if chat rooms were real?<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/AC1xFjGcZ7c' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/AC1xFjGcZ7c'/></object></p><p>Great short film!

The MadShangi is under attack. Many moons ago, I made a video called "MadShangi Defends ChristianU2uber" which gained a little bit of attention on YouTube. That's when I came in contact with Graeme Stephen Tucker, age 51 - who shall forever be known as The Cyberstalker. The Cyberstalker first responded to "MadShangi Defends ChristianU2uber" from his XXYZGUY channel and I subscribed to him. But then, he started sending me these "other" videos from another channel. These videos were a smear fest against a man I have never met before: his name is Gavan Coleman. And the channel was colemansasod (now defunct). Gavan Coleman's YouTube channel is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/peaceandparty">PeaceAndParty</a> check it out.<br /><br />I was wrong to call Julian Real a stalker, because Julian Real was just another pussy ass quiter. This guy was the true cyberstalker, I would come to learn that The Cyberstalker had been attacking this Gavan Coleman for months and months. He found out where the guy went to school and posted a link to the school's website underneath: "Where Gavan Went To School." He contacted his family members trying to pump them for information about their son, he had been contacting his subscribers spreading slander everywhere, trying to enlist complete strangers in his campaign of hate against Gavan. Strangers like me, The MadShangi. It didn't take long for me to see past his nice guy fascade he put on with me, and when I learned the truth about this guy. I spoke out against him in a video: "My Final Thoughts On Graeme Stephen Tucker He also hates a fella named Nicky ("<a href="http://www.youtube.com/kamododragoon">Kamododragoon</a>" on YouTube, an intersex man with Kallman's Syndrome who has strong beliefs about trans and intersex being two separate communities. The Cyberstalker calls him "Nicky the Bigot" and even posted showing his address, phone number, pictures of him, his house. While The Cyberstalker denies any involvement with that video, now removed from YouTube, those who have seen this video know it was the work of the Cyberstalker: who else would put "Don't Fuck With Graeme Tucker" in the video? <br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fsV66V7rbfI&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fsV66V7rbfI&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Interesting enough, The Cyberstalker's latest video is about the red flagging about one of my videos: "Fuck Feministing: The FuckYouTube Edition"<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZQamwKCatnE&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZQamwKCatnE&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>MadShangihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694475116786658432noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132135046040395852.post-55345967532996320162009-08-21T08:32:00.000-07:002009-08-21T08:35:02.442-07:00Catching UpSorry to my loyal 3 followers of the Shangi Blog. I have been very busy with my YouTube channel. I've been dealing with my channels getting flagged, getting sucked into a mindless YouTube flame war with a cyberstalker, one account annihilated, one left crippled, and my new one themadshangichannel getting flagged already. The video in question is my latest opus, "Fuck Feministing."

It's some boring shit. But I found her comments pretty interesting considering the photos you see here in the video.

The teenager was forced to have sex with his mother, now aged 40, on four occasions over a six-year period, the Irish Independent newspaper said. The woman from central Ireland admitted to police her children now aged between 10 and 19 were often blue with cold, had dinner only twice a week and had lice crawling over their bodies. "It was a house of horrors with bells on," the mother, who was not named in order to protect the identity of the children, was quoted as saying by several Irish newspapers. "I can safely say that I was the worst mother in the world and I'd turn back the clock if I could, but I can't," she said. The woman was given 7 years and concurrent sentences of 6 years on counts of carnal knowledge, incest and wilful neglect, Ireland's Courts Service said in a statement. Judge Miriam Reynolds said she would have given the woman a life sentence had she been a man, but the maximum sentence for women in such cases was seven years, the Irish Times newspaper reported on its website. The woman is believed to be the first female convicted of incest in Ireland. Austria shocked the world last year with what media dubbed the "house of horrors" case of Josef Fritzl, who imprisoned his daughter in a cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children by her. Fritzl will go on trial on March 16 on charges including the murder of one of their children. The Irish woman from the central county of Roscommon admitted a total of 10 charges including incest, sexual abuse, neglect and ill-treatment. The teenage son who was forced to have sex with her was quoted as saying by the irish Independent: "I was crying. She was my mother. Why did she do that to me?". The children, who were moved to foster care in 2004, told healthcare workers their mother regularly left them on their own before coming home drunk around 3-4 a.m and arguing incoherently with them. A police investigation began in 2005 after the eldest child revealed details of the abuse to Health Board staff. One daughter said nits used to crawl down her face and their mother forbade her and her sister from tying up their hair because they would become too obvious, the Independent said. "Mammy didn't take care of us right," one child said. <br /><br />Source: <a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/4827470a12.html">http://www.stuff.co.nz/</a>MadShangihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694475116786658432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132135046040395852.post-72121949584765030182009-03-20T18:25:00.000-07:002009-03-20T19:12:41.843-07:00Feminists Try To Shut Down MenAreBetterThanWomen.com<center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/alXXVuWT7po&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/alXXVuWT7po&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center>MadShangihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694475116786658432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132135046040395852.post-6715232893882931552009-03-20T18:23:00.000-07:002009-03-20T18:25:36.012-07:00Wow!

Well, I only have one Shangi fan, because I only have one follower. Ha ha. I have been very busy lately, and haven't had much time to blog. Also, it just seems like a wasted effort since no one really reads it anyway. I've been spending most of my time on my YouTube channel that's getting more subscribers than I ever did with this blog.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/user/MadShangiMadShangihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694475116786658432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132135046040395852.post-81186461601317273312009-01-07T17:10:00.000-08:002009-01-07T17:12:40.192-08:00Yahoo Answers: "How Does It Feel To Kill Someone?"From a user named ZepherGeist<br /><br /><blockquote>I found out the M4 carbine and M855 5.56x45mm cartridge is not nearly as effective as it should be.<br /><br />Later, since I was Company Armorer and near adopted son, I asked a harmless favor from the First Sergeant. <br /><br />I got an M16A2. A Belgian one, my "FN16".<br /><br />I honestly NEVER thought that I would WANT an M16, but I am convinced that the fact I had a rifle - with a purchased C-More reflector sight - is the reason I survived my first combat tour from March 2003 - April 2004.<br /><br /><br /><br />As for what I felt? <br /><br />In all honesty . . . I really felt surprisingly little. With the exception that "The weapon is NOT working". <br /><br />Turns out every round I fired at the Haji hit . . . and went THROUGH him. <br /><br />It was around thirty meters when I first fired. Initially six entry wounds and six exit wounds, after the third controlled pair, I dropped to a knee and put a round through his right hip bone, which dropped him immediately. Then I rushed up and shot him in the head.<br /><br />I never thought a human being could produce a scream like that.<br /><br />I did not even have to make the justification of "Him or Me", I just felt numb. Nothing of note for any of the individuals I shot at. The fact I was numb was more frightening.<br /><br />Except for that scream.<br /><br />It stays with me. Comes out every now and again during the night, but I don't even remember the bastard's face, just the scream.<br /><br />The CO, 1SG and Chaplain helped me figure out that it was not my inner sociopath screaming to get out, but it was more that I had a higher maturity level - I was an "Old Man" at 26 at the time - and I was better prepared to not dwell on it. <br /><br />Able to compartmentalize, as we say.<br /><br />In combat I felt real anxiety, yet in many ways felt cold and detached from it all.<br /><br />Quite surreal compared to the stories of other men.<br /><br />You don't get smarter, you just get older by one more day.<br /><br />Until the next mission, then you do it all over again. There is no *********, because you know you are not bulletproof.<br /><br />For me there was just detached focus as I looked for a fight.<br /><br />I had an M14 rifle in my tool box my second time in. <br /><br />The guy I popped with that found out how good a shot I was, as I hit him just below his left eye. My other 1SG, who had ordered me to fire, was impressed. The M118 sniper round is a real argument winner.<br /><br />He gave me a dollar he bet with the CO, who I knew from my last duty station and was picked by him for his radioman and part of his Personal Security Detachment, that I would nail the enemy in the head. <br /><br />To balance my Karma, I gave the 1SG an ice-cold Coca-Cola when we finally got back to the FOB.<br /><br />We were both relieved the Fates had been satisfied.<br /><br /><br /><br />The one thing I AM afraid of is talking to people about it in person. <br /><br />I wound up making some people uncomfortable the only time I did. And I am leery of speaking to people at the VA, as I cannot account for true confidentiality there. <br /><br />The LAST thing I need is for my name to pop up on a "Banned from ownership" list when I go to purchase a rifle or pistol.<br /><br />I did not fight for this country just to be DENIED my rights.</blockquote>MadShangihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694475116786658432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132135046040395852.post-62114690385560809212009-01-07T16:27:00.000-08:002009-01-07T16:48:03.690-08:00A New Direction For The Blog of ShangiShangi here. I know I have been slagging off on the quality of posts lately here had the Shangi Blog. That would probably explain why I have gone from two 2 followers to just 1 follower. <br /><br />Either I need to start advertizing better, or I just should get off my lazy ass and put some fresh meat into this dead horse. <br /><br />I was hoping to have an interview posted on my blog based on a conversation I had with a woman who liked my "Fuck the Feminists" song/rant/rap whatever you call it. Ha ha. She was a woman who served in the military, and agree with some of the points I made. And her insights were surprising and interesting. <br /><br />An excerpt from an e-mail she sent me. <br /><br /><blockquote>But: here’s a little background: spent close to 12 yrs in the Army, women are treated differently and in my opinion the military should go back to the way it was back in the 70s, women should be separated from the men and kept that way. (Women were in what was called the Women’s Army Corps or WAC)</blockquote><br /><br />She had more to say, but sadly I lost touch with her. That would sure have been a damn good post. But fuck. Whatever. I need a new direction to draw more Shangi fans, or just kill the fucking thing. So here's what I have in store for upcoming posts.<br /><br />SHANGI'S FAVORITE MOVIES<br /><br />Movie reviews written by yours truly. <br /><br />David Cronenberg's kickass remake of The Fly, <br /><br />Taxi Driver directed by Martin Scorsese and starring the awesome Robert De Niro<br /><br />The Rocky Horror Picture Show directed by Jim Sharman starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick (The mayor from "Spin City")<br /><br />Pokemon: The 1st Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back (Holy shit! You don't wanna fuck with Mewtwo)<br /><br />John Water's PINK FLAMINGOS (Spoiler warning: he eats dog shit at the end.)<br /><br />And I dunno... maybe to draw in teeny boppers, I will post my interview with Lindsay Lohan's pussy.MadShangihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694475116786658432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132135046040395852.post-3115677066824836842008-12-25T16:24:00.000-08:002008-12-25T16:49:50.092-08:00Guess What?!

But I'm also right when I say she was a fucking cunt working for The Man. And The Man ain't cool. So MadShangi says "fuck Christmas."<br /><br />Not too long ago I deleted a girl off my Facebook. My MSN. I threw away her phone number. But she phoned me today to tell me she was thinking of me. On Christmas. I wanted to die. I told her I'd call her back. I'm not going to. Why? Because right now I'm writing this blog. And to me, that's a better thing to do with my timre right now. <br /><br />So after I picked myself off of the floor, I crawled over to my chair, sat down and logged into my blog. Why? I don't know why. Maybe I'm a mean guy. Maybe I'm a pretty nasty shit. Maybe I'm such a horrible person everyone is always telling me I am. I'm feeling like a Scrooge this Holiday Season, and I just want to say "Bah Hambug and Fuck You" <br /><br />There is no Santa, kids. That was your mommy and daddy all along, and when they're gone who's going to give you your presents? NO ONE! Anyone reading this blog right now better copy and paste this and send it to the local authorities. Because I'm issuing a threat. A threat against Christmas. Fuck Christmas and Fuck The Christmas Spirit, Fuck Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer. Anyone that worships the false gods Jesus, Jehova, or Santa I'm going to send anthrax to their houses through the mail. Maybe. Could this be satire? You decide!<br /><br />Maybe I have designs on being the Andy Kauffman of the Blogger Sphere. Maybe I just hate your fucking guts. Why am I being so nasty? I like being nasty. I'm a nasty guy. I'm a raving lunatic. I'm raving on and on. And I love it. No one can stop me. I paint imaginary thoughts of horror and blood. I'm going to download and watch the original "Black Christmas" and watch it over and over. I rented the Dark Knight, but it won't play on my PlayStation 2. Can't play it on my DVD. 'Cause I broke that fucking thing, too. Long time ago. Who really reads this shit anyway? Maybe I should compile all my posts into one massive book and sell it? That seems to be the trend nowadays "My Life As A Whore" seems to the gist of it for some of these "bestsellers." Shee-it.<br /><br />I hope Santa gets murdered in the North Pole. But that won't happen, because Santa isn't real. I'm not real, either. There's really no Patrick Doran. Only the person who is typing this. But it's not Patrick Doran. Patrick is dead.

Sorry police but when the Sheriff says that it was "by the book" when its on video and clearly against the stated policy, then YOUR FULL OF SHIT! In my opinion, all of the officers that were present should be fired as well as the entire chain of command. I'm sorry but when your lying like that you're corrupt.</blockquote><br /><br />He also had THIS to share:<br /><br /><blockquote>This is probably even worse! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVXPEGHdDlg</blockquote><br /><br /><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qVXPEGHdDlg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qVXPEGHdDlg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center><br /><br />I don't like police, I don't trust police, and I won't depend on the police. I've had too many bad experiences with cops. They are not our protectors, it's just another job to them, and one they complain about and slack off on. <br /><br />I was once beaten up pretty badly during a swarming attack. I was a bloody mess. Some people took me into their home and called the police and an ambulance. When the cops came they're trying to question, when I should've been looked at by a doctor first. They even tried to convince me not to take an ambulance. I was a bloody mess, and these guys were keeping me inside a complete stranger's house, sizing me up as if I was the threat. Fuck the police.<br /><br />Thinking about it now, I wonder how I could've handled that situation better. What do you do when you're all beat up, and the cops are keeping you inside someone else's house, trying to question you before you've even been looked at by a doctor.<br /><br />Anyone else got similar experiences? <br /><br /><blockquote><H3>From AKKUS</H3><br /><br />I was attacked on a sidewalk by a couple of illegal aliens who injured me and pushed me into traffic. Over the next two hours, I talked to five cops. None of them would look into the situation. The first said he couldn't do anything as he hadn't seen it occur. The second threatened to arrest me for "making a false report", though he had made no effort to look into my claim. The third, a relative of mine, just laughed when I told him that I had been threatened with arrest for reporting the crime. I was told that I could file a complaint against the cop who threatened me, but that's like having a producer rate his own movie.<br /><br />This is just one of many horrible experiences I and people close to me have had with cops. I have zero confidence in them and their commitment to "Protect and Serve", as is so hypocritically painted on their cruisers. <br /></blockquote><br /><br />To "Protect and Serve" is right .<br /><br />I remember once, when I was eleven years old, there was a fight going on in one of the apartment complexes in my neighborhood. Apparently police were called, but it seemed like no one was coming, so I found a cop sitting inside a coffee bar just right nearby. I tried convincing him to take care of this, but his attitude was "I'm on my break." I had to go back into the coffee bar four or five times before he finally decided to get off his fat ass.<br /><br />He ended up arresting and using pepper spray on an intoxicated man that was fleeing from the apartment complex. I remember how mad I felt inside, after his backup arrived, they pat this schmuck on the shoulders and tell him "good work." <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i8z7NC5sgik&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i8z7NC5sgik&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/08fZQWjDVKE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/08fZQWjDVKE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.cyberessays.com/Politics/141.htm"><h3>Analysis of Police Corruption</h3></a><br /> <br />Police corruption is a complex phenomenon, which does not <br />readily submit to simple analysis. It is a problem that has and will<br />continue to affect us all, whether we are civilians or law enforcement <br />officers. Since its beginnings, may aspects of policing have changed; <br />however, one aspect that has remained relatively unchanged is the <br />existence of corruption. An examination of a local newspaper or any <br />police-related publication on any given day will have an article about <br />a police officer that got busted committing some kind of corrupt act. <br />Police corruption has increased dramatically with the illegal cocaine <br />trade, with officers acting alone or in-groups to steal money from <br />dealers or distribute cocaine themselves. Large groups of corrupt <br />police have been caught in New York, New Orleans, Washington, DC, and <br />Los Angeles.<br /><br /> Methodology: Corruption within police departments falls into 2 <br />basic categories, which are external corruption and internal <br />corruption. In this report I will concentrate only on external <br />corruption because it has been the larger center of attention <br />recently. I have decided to include the fairly recent accounts of <br />corruption from a few major cities, mainly New York, because that is <br />where I have lived for the past 22 years. I compiled my information <br />from numerous articles written in the New York Times over the last 5 <br />years. My definitional infornmation and background data came from <br />various books cited that have been written on the issue of police <br />corruption. Those books helped me create a basis of just what the <br />different types of corruption and deviances are, as well as how and <br />why corruption happens. The books were filled with useful insite but <br />were not update enough, so I relied on the newspaper articles to <br />provide me with the current, and regional information that was needed <br />to complete this report. In simple terms, corruption in policing is <br />usually viewed as the misuse of authority by a police officer acting <br />offically to fulfill personal needs or wants. For a corrupt act to <br />occure, three distinct elements of police corruption must be present <br />simultaneously: 1) missuse of authority, 2) missuse of official <br />capacity, and 3) missuse of personal attainment. (Dantzker, 1995: p <br />157) It can be said that power inevitably tends to corrupt, and it is<br />yet to be recongnized that, while there is no reason to suppose that <br />policemen as individuals are any less fallible than other members of <br />society, people are often shocked and outraged when policemen are <br />exposed violating the law. The reason is simple. There diviance <br />elicits a special feeling of betrayal. "Most studies support the view <br />that corruption is endemic, if not universal, in police departments. <br />The danger of corruption for police, and this is that it may invert <br />the formal goals of the organization and may lead to "the use of <br />organizational power to encourage and create crime rather than to <br />deter it" (Sherman 1978: p 31) General police deviance can include <br />brutality, discrimination, sexual harassment, intimidation, and <br />illicit use of weapons. However it is not particularly obvious where <br />brutality, discrimination, and misconduct end and corruption begin.<br />Essentially, police corruption falls into two major categories-- <br />external corruption which concerns police contacts with the public, <br />and internal corruption, which involves the relationships among <br />policemen within the works of the police department. The external <br />corruption generally concists of one ore more of the following <br />activities: 1) Payoffs to police by essentially non-criminal elements <br />who fail to comply with stringent statutes or city ordinances; (for <br />example, inviduals who repeatedly violate traffic laws). 2) Payoffs to <br />police by individuals who continually violate the law as a method of <br />making money (for example, prostitutes, narcotics addicts and <br />pusshers, & professional burglars). 3) "Clean Graft" where money is <br />paid to police for services, or where courtesy discounts are given as <br />a matter of course to the police. "Police officers have been involved <br />in activities such as extortion of money and/or narcotics from <br />narcotics viloators in order to aviod arrest; they have accepted<br />bribes; they have sold narcotics. They have known of narcotics <br />vilolations and have failed to take proper enforcement action. They <br />have entered into personal associations with narcotics criminals and <br />in some cases have used narcotics. They have given false testimony in <br />court in order to obtain dismissal of the charges against a <br />defendant." (Sherman 1978: p 129) A scandal is perceived both as a <br />socially constructed phenomenon and as an agent of change that can <br />lead to realignments in the structure of power within oraganizations. <br />New york, for instance, has had more than a half dozen major scandals <br />concerning its police department within a century. It was the Knapp <br />Commission in 1972 that first brought attention to the NYPD when they<br />released the results of over 2 years of investigations of alleged <br />corruption. The findings were that bribery, especially amoung <br />narcotics officers, was extremely high. As a result many officers were <br />prosecuted and many more lost their jobs. A massive re-structuring <br />took place aftewards with strict rules and regulations to make sure <br />that the problem would never happen again. Be that as it may, the <br />problem did arrise once gain... Some of the most recent events to <br />shake New York City and bring attention to the national problem of <br />police corruption was brought up begining in 1992 when five officers <br />were arrested on drug-trafficing charges.<br /><br /> Michael Dowd, the suspected 'ring leader', was the kind of cop <br />who gave new meaning to the word moonlighting. It wasn't just any job <br />that the 10-year veteran of the New York City force was working on the <br />side. Dowd was a drug dealer. From scoring free pizza as a rookie he <br />graduated to pocketing cash seized in drug raids and from there simply <br />to robbing dealers outright, sometimes also relieving them of drugs <br />that he would resell. Soon he had formed ``a crew'' of 15 to 20 <br />officers in his Brooklyn precinct who hit up dealers regularly. <br />Eventually one of them was paying Dowd and another officer $8,000 a <br />week in protection money. Dowd bought four suburban homes and a <br />$35,000 red Corvette. Nobody asked how he managed all that on <br />take-home pay of $400 a week. In May 1992 Dowd, four other officers <br />and one former officer were arrested for drug trafficking by police in <br />Long Island's Suffolk County. When the arrests hit the papers, it was <br />forehead-slapping time among police brass. Not only had some of their <br />cops become robbers, but the crimes had to be uncovered by a suburban <br />police force. Politicians and the media started asking what had <br />happened to the system for rooting out police corruption established<br />21 years ago at the urging of the Knapp Commission, the investigatory <br />body that heard Officer Frank Serpico and other police describe a <br />citywide network of rogue cops. (New York Times, March 29, 1993: p 8) <br />To find out, at the time, New York City mayor David Dinkins <br />established the Mollen Commission, named for its chairman, Milton <br />Mollen, a former New York judge. Last week, in the same Manhattan <br />hearing room where the Knapp Commission once sat, the new body heard <br />Dowd and other officers add another lurid chapter to the old story of <br />police corruption. And with many American cities wary that drug money<br />will turn their departments bad, police brass around the country were <br />lending an uneasy ear to the tales of officers sharing lines of coke <br />from the dashboard of their squad cars and scuttling down fire escapes <br />with sacks full of cash stolen from dealers' apartments. (New York <br />Times, April 3, 1993: p. 5) The Mollen Commission has not uncovered a <br />citywide system of payoffs among the 30,000-member force. In fact, <br />last week's testimony focused on three precincts, all in heavy crime <br />areas. But the tales, nevertheless, were troubling. Dowd described how <br />virtually the entire precinct patrol force would rendezvous at times <br />at an inlet on Jamaica Bay, where they would drink, shoot off guns in <br />the air and plan their illegal drug raids. (New York Times, Nov. 17, <br />1993: p. 3) It was "victimless crimes" problem which many view was a <br />prime cause in the growth of police abuse. Reports have shown that the <br />large majority of corrupt acts by police involve payoffs from both the <br />perpetrators and the "victims" of victimless crimes. The knapp <br />commission in the New York found that although corruption among police <br />officers was not restricted to this area, the bulk of it involved <br />payments of money to the police from gamblers and prostitutes. (Knapp<br />Commission Report, 1973: pp 1-3) ``The cops who were engaged in <br />corruption 20 years ago took money to cover up the criminal activity <br />of others,'' says Michael Armstrong, who was chief counsel to the <br />Knapp Commission. `` Now it seems cops have gone into competition with <br />street criminals.'' (Newsweek, Oct 21,1992: p. 18) For cops as for <br />anyone else, money works age for crooked police. Gambling syndicates <br />in the 1950s were protected by a payoff system more elaborate than the <br />Internal Revenue Service. Pervasive corruption may have lessened in <br />recent years, as many experts believe, but individual examples seem to <br />have grown more outrageous. In March authorities in Atlanta broke up a <br />ring of weight-lifting officers who were charged with robbing strip <br />clubs and private homes, and even carrying off 450-lb. safes from <br />retail stores. (Washington Post, Jan 18, 1993: p. 11) The deluge of <br />cash that has flowed from the drug trade has created opportunities for <br />quick dirty money on a scale never seen before. In the 1980s <br />Philadelphia saw more than 30 officers convicted of taking part in a <br />scheme to extort money from dealers. In Los Angeles an FBI probe <br />focusing on the L.A. County sheriff's department has resulted so far <br />in 36 indictments and 19 convictions on charges related to enormous <br />thefts of cash during drug raids -- more than $1 million in one<br />instance. ``The deputies were pursuing the money more aggressively <br />than they were pursuing drugs,'' says Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven <br />Bauer. (Washington Post, Jan 18, 1993: p. 11) When cities enlarge <br />their police forces quickly in response to public fears about crime, <br />it can also mean an influx of younger and less well-suited officers. <br />That was a major reason for the enormous corruption scandal that hit <br />Miami in the mid-1980s, when about 10% of the city's police were <br />either jailed, fired or disciplined in connection with a scheme in <br />which officers robbed and sometimes killed cocaine smugglers on the <br />Miami River, then resold the drugs. Many of those involved had been <br />hired when the department had beefed up quickly after the 1980 riots<br />and the Mariel boatlift. ``We didn't get the quality of officers we <br />should have,'' says department spokesman Dave Magnusson. (Carter, <br />1989: pp. 78-79) When it came time to clean house, says former Miami <br />police chief Perry Anderson, civil service board members often chose <br />to protect corrupt cops if there was no hard evidence to convict them <br />in the courts. ``I tried to fire 25 people with tarnished badges, but <br />it was next to impossible,'' he recalls. (Carter, 1989: pp. 78-79)<br /><br /> The Mollen Commission testimony could also lead to second <br />thoughts on the growth of community policing, the back-to-the-beat <br />philosophy that in recent years has been returning officers to <br />neighborhood patrol in cities around the country, including New York. <br />Getting to know the neighborhood can mean finding more occasions for <br />bribe taking, which is one reason that in many places beat patrolling <br />was scaled back since the 1960s in favor of more isolated squad-car <br />teams. The real test of a department is not so much whether its <br />officers are tempted by money but whether there is an institutional <br />culture that discourages them from succumbing. In Los Angeles the <br />sheriff's department ``brought us the case,'' says FBI special agent<br />Charlie Parsons. ``They worked with us hand in glove throughout the <br />investigation.'' (Washington Post, Jan 18, 1993: p. 11) In the years <br />after it was established, following the Knapp Commission disclosures, <br />the New York City police department's internal affairs division was <br />considered one of the nation's most effective in stalking corruption. <br />But that may not be the case anymore. Police sergeant Joseph Trimboli, <br />a department investigator, told the Mollen Commission that when he <br />tried to root out Dowd and other corrupt cops, his efforts were <br />blocked by higher-ups in the department. At one point, Trimboli <br />claimed, he was called to a meeting of police officials and told he <br />was under suspicion as a drug trafficker. ``They did not want this<br />investigation to exist,'' he said. (New York Times, April 3, 1993: p. <br />5) It was at this time that New York City police commissioner, at the <br />time, Raymond Kelly announced a series of organizational changes, <br />including a larger staff and better-coordinated field investigations, <br />intended to improve internal affairs. His critics say those changes <br />don't go far enough. Much of that happened after Kelly's reforms had <br />been announced. The Mollen Commission is recommend the establishment <br />of an outside monitoring agency, a move that Kelly and other police <br />brass have expressed some reservations about. ``No group is good at <br />policing itself,'' says Knapp Commission counsel Armstrong. ``It <br />doesn't hurt to have somebody looking over their shoulder.'' An <br />independent body, however, might be less effective at getting <br />co-operation from cops prone to close ranks against outsiders. ``You <br />have to have the confidence of officers and information about what's <br />going on internally,'' says former U.S. Attorney Thomas Puccio, who <br />prosecuted a number of police-corruption cases. (New York Times, April <br />3, 1993: p. 5) Getting that information was no easier when officers <br />were encouraged to report wrongdoing to authorities within their own<br />department. In many cities that have them, internal affairs divisions <br />are resented within the ranks for getting cops to turn in other cops <br />-- informers are even recruited from police-academy cadets -- and for <br />rarely targeting the brass. ``One of the things that has come out in <br />the hearings is a culture within the department which seems to permit <br />corruption to exist,'' says Walter Mack, a one time federal prosecutor <br />who is now New York's deputy commissioner of internal affairs. ``But <br />when you're talking about cultural change, you're talking about many <br />years. It's not something that occurs overnight.'' (New York Post, <br />June 14, 1993: p. 28) Dowd, who was sentenced prison on guilty please, <br />put it another way. ``Cops don't want to turn in other cops,'' he <br />said. ``Cops don't want to be a rat.'' And even when honest cops are <br />willing to blow the whistle, there may not be anyone willing to <br />listen. (New York Times, Mar. 29, 1993: p. 14) Is there a solution to <br />the police corruption problem? Probably not because since its <br />beginings, many aspects of policing have changed, but one thing that <br />has not is the existence of corruption. Police agenies, in an attempt <br />to elminate corruption have tried everything from increasing salaries, <br />requiring more training and education, and developing polices which <br />are intended to focus directly on factors leading to corruption. What <br />have all these changes done to eliminate or even decrease the <br />corruption problem? Little or nothing. Despite police departments' <br />attempts to control corruption, it still occurs. Regardless of the <br />fact, police corruption cannot simply be over looked. Controling <br />corruption is the only way that we can really limit corruption, <br />because corruption is the by-product of the individual police officer, <br />societal views, and, police environmental factors. Therefore control <br />must come from not only the police department, but also must require <br />the assistance and support of the community members. Controling <br />corruption from the departmental level requires a strong leadership <br />organization, because corruption can take place any where from the <br />patrol officer to the chief. The top administrator must make it clear <br />from the start that he and the other members of the department are <br />against any form of corrupt activity, and that it will not be <br />tollerated in any way, shape, or form. If a police administrator does <br />not act strongly with disciplinary action against any corrupt <br />activity, the message conveyed to other officers within the department <br />will not be that of intimated nature. In addition it may even increase <br />corruption, because officers feel no actions will be taken against <br />them. Another way that police agencies can control its corruption <br />problem starts orginally in the academy. Ethical decisions and<br />behavior should be promoted, because failing to do make officers aware <br />of the consequences of corruption does nothing but encourages it. <br />Finally, many police departments, especially large ones, have an <br />Internal Affairs unit which operates to investigate improper conduct <br />of police departments. These units some times are run within the <br />department or can be a total outside agency to insure that there is <br />not corruption from within the Internal Affairs unit, as was alleged <br />in the 1992 NYPD corruption scandal. Such a unit may be all that is <br />need to prevent many officers from being tempted into falling for <br />corrupt behavior patterns. Although the police agaency should be the <br />main source of controling its own corruption problem, there also<br />requires some support and assistance from the local community. It is <br />important that the public be educated to the negative affects of <br />corruption on their police agency. They should be taught that even <br />'graitudes' (the most basic and common form of police corruption) is <br />only a catalyst for more and future corruption. The community may even <br />go as far as establishing review boards, and investigative bodies to <br />help keep a careful eye on the agency. If we do not act to try and <br />control it, the costs can be enormous, because it affects not only the <br />individual, his department, the law enforcement community as a whole, <br />but society as well. Police corruption can be controlled; it just <br />takes a little extra effort. And In the long run, that effort will be <br />well worth it to both the agency and the community. (Walker, 1992: p. <br />89) <br /><br /> The powers given by the state to the police to use force have <br />always caused concern. Although improvements have been made to control <br />corruption, numerous opportunities exist for deviant and corrupt <br />practices. The opportunity to aquire power in excess of that which is <br />legally permitted or to misuse power is always available. The police <br />subculture is a contributing factor to these practices, because <br />officers who often act in a corrupt manner are often over looked, and <br />condoned by other members of the subculture. As mentioned from the <br />very begining of this report the problem of police deviance and <br />corruption will never be completely solved, just as the police will <br />never be able to solve the crime problem in our society. One step in <br />the right direction, however, is the monitoring and control of the <br />police and the appropriate use of police style to enforce laws and to <br />provide service to the public. <br /><br />---<br />Works Cited<br /><br />Beals, Gregory (1993, Oct 21).

I literally had to fight people off my back," Overby said.<br /><br />Damour, a temporary maintenance worker from Jamaica, Queens, was gasping for air as shoppers continued to surge into the store after its 5 a.m. opening, witnesses said.<br /><br />Even officers who arrived to perform CPR on the trampled worker were stepped on by wild-eyed shoppers streaming inside, a cop at the scene said.<br /><br />"They pushed him down and walked all over him," Damour's sobbing sister, Danielle, 41, said. "How could these people do that?<br /><br />"He was such a young man with a good heart, full of life. He didn't deserve that."<br /><br />Damour's sister said doctors told the family he died of a heart attack.<br /><br />His cousin, Ernst Damour, called the circumstances "completely unacceptable."<br /><br />"His body was a stepping bag with so much disregard for human life," Ernst Damour, 37, said. "There has to be some accountability."<br /><br />Roughly 2,000 people gathered outside the Wal-Mart's doors in the predawn darkness.<br /><br />Chanting "push the doors in," the crowd pressed against the glass as the clock ticked down to the 5 a.m. opening.<br /><br />Sensing catastrophe, nervous employees formed a human chain inside the entrance to slow down the mass of shoppers.<br /><br />It didn't work.<br /><br />The mob barreled in and overwhelmed workers.<br /><br />"They were jumping over the barricades and breaking down the door," said Pat Alexander, 53, of Crown Heights, Brooklyn. "Everyone was screaming. You just had to keep walking on your toes to keep from falling over."<br /><br />After the throng toppled Damour, his fellow employees had to fight through the crowd to help him, police said.<br /><br />Witness Kimberly Cribbs said shoppers acted like "savages."<br /><br />"When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling, 'I've been on line since Friday morning!'" Cribbs said. "They kept shopping."<br /><br />When paramedics arrived, Damour's condition was grave.<br /><br />"They were pumping his chest, trying to bring him back, and there was nothing," said Dennis Smokes, 36, a Wal-Mart worker.<br /><br />Damour was taken to Franklin Hospital and pronounced dead at 6:03 a.m.<br /><br />Hank Mullany, president of Wal-Mart's northeast division, said the company took extraordinary safety precautions.<br /><br />"We expected a large crowd this morning and added additional internal security, additional third-party security, additional store associates and we worked closely with the Nassau County police," he said in a statement.<br /><br />"We also erected barricades. Despite all of our precautions, this unfortunate event occurred."<br /><br />The 28-year-old pregnant woman and three other shoppers were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries, police said.<br /><br />In a news conference after the incident, Nassau County police spokesman Lt. Michael Fleming described the crowd as "out of control" and the scene as "utter chaos." He said Wal-Mart did not have enough security onhand.<br /><br />Fleming said criminal charges were possible but that it would be difficult to identify individual shoppers in surveillance videos.<br /><br />Items on sale at the Wal-Mart store included a $798 Samsung 50-inch Plasma HDTV, a Bissel Compact Upright Vacuum for $28 and Men's Wrangler Tough Jeans for $8.<br /><br />The Long Island store reopened at 1 p.m. and was packed within minutes.<br /><br />"I look at these people's faces and I keep thinking one of them could have stepped on him," said one employee. "How could you take a man's life to save $20 on a TV?"<br /><br />rschapiro@nydailynews.com<br /><br />With Brendan Brosh and James Queally</blockquote><br /><br />People are stupid, they truly are. It's kind of hard to have faith in humanity when the majority are made up of people like the ones stampeding into a Wal-Mart trampelling people to death. The greed! <br /><br />I remember dropping off product to a Salvation Army store in Richmond, BC. All these Asian people were gathered outside the store, propped up against the glass looking like Garfield cats from the inside of the store. Apparently the store was having some kind of sale. My co-worker and I had to go through the front door to wheel in appliances on our dollies. Once the doors opened, all these Chinese people were trying to force their way in. I grabbed a Chinese man by the back of his jacket and yanked him out of my way, as he tried to get into the store (it wasn't even open yet). My partner and I had to fight our way past the mob. At the time, it was among the funniest shit I've ever experienced.<br /><br />People are so stupid and greedy.MadShangihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08694475116786658432noreply@blogger.com0
