R.I.P. Detective John Falcone

Although I have some reservations about accepting the official account of what happened that terrible day, one thing that I have no doubt about, is that this uniformed officer died a genuine hero's death. In his sacrifice, there is no ambiguity.

Here at Station.6.Underground we often take a negative position against police and authority in general, but it is important to remember that there are indeed many many men and women on the job who have intentions that are righteous, even if the system they uphold is not. I feel it is important to honor those who have done their very best to serve their community, all politics aside. Officer (Detective-Posthumous) Falcone could have just been sitting at home on the internet bitching about everything that is wrong with world, but he chose a different path.

He walked into the line of fire that day for one simple reason. Someone was in distress, and it was his job to help them. A job he took on of his own free will. A job he was dedicated to. A job he laid down his life for.

We thank you for your sacrifice sir, and may you rest in peace.

U.S. Declares War on Iran

One second to Midnight...




Let's not forget a few key points here. We woke up to a nuclear North Korea, and nothing happened. They attacked no one. Iran (Persian people) have not attacked anyone in over 600 years, while Western powers are overtly imperialist. But most importantly of all, let us NOT FORGET that this is the VERY SAME RHETORIC which TOOK US TO WAR IN IRAQ. The war in Iraq was a LIE, they had no nuclear program, no ties to a fictitious terror group called al-Qaeda.

Now READ THIS!!! to understand what is happening.

This is no joke people. This is World War III about to happen. Russia and China have already promised to defend Iran at all costs. This is very bad.

NYPD Black Market PBA Card Investigation

Interesting report here from Channel 4, but I think it falls a little short. You'll see what I mean after the reporter's wrap up in the end of the clip.



"...That were 'meant' for their family and friends."

So the problem is not the favoritism, but that the average citizen is getting a hold of these cards? No investigation into the practice of ticket-fixing, just an investigation into the fat guy on his Rascal who got caught selling collectibles. It really just does go to show, once again, that there are two sets of law in this country. One for citizens, and one for the police.

Video Recording of Cops in Baltimore Now Made Legal

A rare victory for liberty and public well-being in this day and age of Orwellian police-state tactics.

Seems like a no-brainer that in a free country a citizen should be allowed to film whatever they see in public, freely, without being charged with a crime. Sadly, many jurisdictions have done their very best to actually criminalize video-recording, particularly of police and officers, or whenever it seems to be in the interests of the power-that-be to do so. In some states it is actually a felony to record public officials if there is an audio component to the recording, according to antiquated wiretapping laws. The police can film us as they please, but we can not film them back.

Let's keep in mind here who is working for who folks. The fact that this is even a discussion just goes to show how scary things really have gotten, and how privileged the police believe they actually are. But with that, we will cheer this small victory and the good sense of the policy-makers in Baltimore, Maryland.

The new policy came just days before a court hearing alleging that a citizen's rights were violated when a Baltimore PD officer confiscated and deleted a recording made of a confrontation had a horse race.

One attorney had this to say...

"This is an extension of the citizen's right to see. (A police officer) wouldn't go up to a citizen at a crime scene and tell them to close their eyes so the officer can't tell them they can't film."

For more on the story check out this link to PoliceOne.Com.

The Baltimore City Police Department has a new General Order which states the following:

Upon discovery that a bystander is observing, photographing, or video recording the conduct of police activity:

1. DO NOT impede or prevent the bystander's ability to continue doing so based solely on your discovery of his/her presence.

2. DO NOT seize or otherwise demand to take possession of any camera or video recording device the bystander may possess based solely on your discovery of his/her presence.

3. DO NOT demand to review, manipulate, or erase any images or video recording captured by the bystander based solely on your discovery of his/her presence.

4. For investigative purposes, be mindful of the potential that the bystander may witness, or capture images/video of events considered at some later time to be material evidence.

5. BEFORE taking any police action which would stop a bystander from observing, photographing, or video recording the conduct of police activity, Officer(s) must have observed the bystander committing some act [deemed criminal, such as obstruction, disorderly conduct or interfering with an officer's lawful duties].

And here are two video clips to remind us of why it is important to not give police and special privilege, why it is important to maintain our rights, and why it is important to be able to film in public...

Feminism and the Disposable Male

What has feminism done to shatter the patriarchal "women and children first" mentality, and elevate men to status as full human beings deserving of empathy and human rights? What has it done to reinforce and legally entrench the mentality that everyone, including men themselves, should put men last?
