Good morning!

Sometimes on Tuesdays I post about finances. You could say today’s write covers that topic.

Since it is in your sunshine state, this one is for you Howie.

If you think that police officers are just thugs with guns…well, this write won’t change your mind.

How Undercover Cops in a Florida City Make Millions Selling Cocaine

Police in a Southern Florida community outside of Fort Lauderdale have been using a controversial tactic to conduct cocaine sting operations and have been raking in millions of dollars in the process.

For years, the Sunrise, Fla., police have been conducting what are called “reverse stings.” Undercover police detectives play the role of cocaine dealers and try to lure in potential buyers who drive or fly in from all over the country with wads of cash. If the stings are successful, informants can receive large payouts and police can seize cash, cars and other non-monetary assets. The busts have pumped millions of dollars into local coffers.

The Sun Sentinel was the first to report the Sunrise Police’s lucrative sting operations after the newspaper conducted a six-month investigation into the department’s drug seizures.

“The police are not actually finding these drug dealers on their own but they rely on paid and unpaid informants to tell them about people that might be looking for cocaine, and it became obvious to us that the reason they are doing this is because of the money,” said Megan O’Matz, one of the reporters who broke the story.

Sunrise, Fla., is a bedroom community, home to one of the country’s biggest shopping centers and mile after mile of identical, coral-colored condos. But millions of dollars’ worth of undercover drug commerce has occurred in this unlikely setting.

Gus Borjas, a nurse by profession and a father of four from Homestead, Fla., got caught up in one of the Sunrise Police’s cocaine stings. Lured by a paid informant he had known for years who promised to repay an old debt, Borjas agreed to bring a satchel filled with $23,000 in cash to a parking lot and, when he got there, he walked straight into a trap, Borjas said.

Undercover video from the case shows a second paid informant aggressively drawing him into the action.

“In order for them to keep the money they have to make … it look like I’m buying the drugs, obviously, you know,” Borjas said.

Eventually, the female informant placed a kilo of cocaine in Borjas’ bag to establish possession.

Suddenly, Borjas was now a drug offender and facing a possible mandatory 15-year minimum sentence for narcotics trafficking.

“As soon as I got arrested, as soon as they– Just, everything clicked in my head,” he said. “‘Why this? Why that?’ They set me up.”

According to Miami attorney Alan Ross, who defended Borjas in court, the scale of the Sunrise Police cocaine stings seemed almost industrial.

“It’s a huge business,” Ross said. “It’s a multimillion dollar business. It’s been going on for years. It’s been a daily event in the city of Sunrise.”

Over the past two years, the police department has netted $5.8 million in seized money, according to the Sun-Sentinel. The money was used to purchase new equipment and to pay officers involved for overtime. Some officers even doubled their salary in overtime pay alone, and in Florida, the laws also permit police to seize non-monetary assets from suspects, the paper reported.

“They can take their cars, jewelry,” O’Matz said. “One fella told us a cop said, ‘Hey, I like the sunglasses you’re wearing,’ and snatched them, so there is a real profit motive for the police.”

Informants in these stings can also make a lot of money. According to Sunrise police reports, one informant not connected to Borjas’ case was paid a total of $800,000 over five years for bringing drug buyers into sting operations.

Sunrise Mayor Michael Ryan defended the practice and the police’s tactics, denying that the stings were about the money.

“I do dispute that was going on here was trying to do anything other than fighting crime,” he said. “They’re doing the best they can do, and it happens throughout all of law enforcement.”

When asked if the Sunrise Police seemed overzealous in trying to bring in potential drug dealers, Ryan called it an “unfair” allegation.

“There are occasions when errors are made. There are occasions when somebody goes too far and it doesn’t go perfect,” he said. “The reality is, hundreds of arrests were made, hundreds who pled. There were cases that were made, there were additional informants built up in further cooperation with the DEA and others. This was part of the operation to stop cocaine. It was an effort to stop cocaine and heroin from getting back to other communities and it worked.”

Ultimately, Borjas got his $23,000 back and the prosecutor gave him a plea deal on a solicitation to purchase cocaine charge, because the female informant may have gone too far.

“These people only get paid if the deal goes down,” Ross said. “Gus isn’t the one who pulled off his backpack and opened it up. The informant did. She takes his backpack off, she unzips it, she’s reaching in for the money. Gus isn’t the one who took the cocaine, she took a kilo of cocaine stuffed it in his backpack. ‘Here’s the backpack, go get arrested.’”

“It’s very unfair,” he said. “Why should you go to jail if you’re not a criminal? Why do they have to make up cases? Only criminals are supposed to go to jail, you know.”

Ryan said that since reporters have revealed informants’ identities and undercover locations, the reserve stings have stopped. He said the Sunrise Police Department will go back to what it always did — fighting crime in Sunrise.

Florida Man Cites ‘Bush Doctrine’ As Justification For Pre-Emptive Killing At Barbecue

BY NICOLE FLATOW ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2013 AT 12:53 PM

William T. Woodward is facing murder charges for the alleged shooting of three people on Labor Day, two of whom have now died. In his defense, his lawyer is not only making a novel legal argument that Florida’s Stand Your Ground law applies, saying he was protecting himself against “imminent death” because of an ongoing dispute between him and the men he shot. He also invoked the “Bush Doctrine,” the foreign policy Bush used to justify aggressive military intervention, to argue that pre-emptive attack can be a form of self-defense, Florida Today reports.

According to police, Woodward stealthily approached a Labor Day barbecue around 12:30 p.m. and fired 31 rounds. When police arrived, three men had been shot. Two died, while a third who was hit 11 times, survived. In the weeks leading up to the shooting, the neighbors had unsuccessfully tried to get “repeat violence” injunctions against one another. Woodward, a veteran who says he is being treated for psychiatric problems that prevent him from controlling his anger, was caught on surveillance video crawling on his belly toward the neighbor’s house. He told police afterward he considered himself on a “mission” and that he was in a “war zone,” according to WFTV.

In his motion seeking immunity from murder charges, Woodward’s lawyer cites a recent Florida court decision that interprets “imminent” criminal activity in another context to mean “not only impending or ready to take place, but also expected, likely to occur, or hanging threateningly over one’s head.” He reasons that one can likewise use deadly force to prevent “imminent death” under the Stand Your Ground when a threat of death hangs over one’s head.

As broad as Florida’s Stand Your Ground law is in authorizing deadly force, a judge would be hard-pressed to infer that the Florida legislature intended to authorize shootings in which “imminent” effectively means “preemptive.” But the legal motion demonstrates the mindset of at least some of the state’s lawyers, who apparently feel comfortable citing a doctrine of war in the context of a self-defense killing. That mindset also seems to be infecting those individuals who, citing expansive self-defense laws, choose vigilante justice over calling the police.

Good morning!

The passage of the Homosexual Propaganda legislation in Russia is just horrific. I recently read about a horrifying new video that has hit the web this past weekend. The video which has been removed from YouTube, documented what appears to be a brutal attack on a Russian transgender woman by five men after she had allegedly been ambushed in a public park.

Although, the video is no longer available, here is the write. This is just so sick and so sad.

Graphic Video of Russian Trans Woman Being Beaten Surfaces Online

A number of news sources are reporting that a graphic video showing what appears to be a Russian transgender woman being attacked has surfaced on the Internet.

Five men allegedly ambush and brutally attack the unnamed transgender woman in a public park during broad daylight. In the video, the men knock the victim to the ground, kick and punch her repeatedly while laughing and talking to each other in Russian. They also drag her around the park causing the woman’s skirt falls off. The men then kick her in the buttocks as she crawls on all fours, trying to escape. There also appears to be a witness who stands around, taking no action against the attack.

The video is titled, “Violent attack on Trans woman by five men in Russia,” and was uploaded by YouTube user GayWaterford on Aug. 19.

“This video is of anti-LGBT activists in Russia, five men brutally beating a trans woman in broad daylight, in a public park,” the user wrote in the video’s description. “The video, posted on popular Russian social networking site VK, appeared on a page titled Straights for Equality, a group advocating for LGBT rights. The intention was to highlight the persecution of LGBT people in Russia.

“In the video, five men kick the woman in the head and body, and throw her around the park, whilst one of them films the attack. They also remove some of her clothes, and tear her underwear before she runs off,” the description reads. “The title of the video refers to the trans woman as a “homosexual”, and it also says ’view from 16 years old.’ It is unclear how old the victim in the video is, and its origin.”

Towards the end of the video, the woman appears to escape.

The video comes shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the country’s controversial“homosexual propaganda” law on June 30.

According to America Blog, the Russian government “refused to investigate” crimes like the one allegedly depicted in the clip. But the Moscow Times recently published an article, taking notice of anti-gay crimes by groups who lure LGBT teens looking to hook up with older men. One of these groups, which has made headlines, is called the Occupy Gerontophilia, which means having a sexual preference for the elderly.

“At least one official has drawn attention to the potential harm being done by the Occupy Gerontophilia group,” the Moscow Times writes. “Federation Council Senator Konstantin Dobrynin appealed to Investigative Committee head Alexander Bastrykin and Prosecutor General Yury Chaika over the matter earlier this month, saying a probe should be opened to determine whether the group’s leader and members could be held criminally liable for ’coercion to perform acts of a sexual nature.’ The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.”

The report goes on to say that groups like Occupy Gerontophilia use the Russian social media site Vkontakte to lure LGBT teens. The site’s officials have “been responsive to the increasing public outcry over the group’s activities, blocking its official page,” however. The article then questions why it’s taken so long for authorities to respond to these anti-gay attacks, writing that some have suggested the reaction from officials “isn’t sincere.”

“It’s pure PR,” former Pussy Riot lawyer Mark Feigin told the Moscow Times. “The fact that the perpetrators are minors makes it very difficult to prosecute them.” Feigin added that the criminal charge Dobrynin called for would likely not hold up in court.”
