LAS VEGAS (CN) - Henderson police arrested a family for refusing to
let officers use their homes as lookouts for a domestic violence
investigation of their neighbors, the family claims in court.
Anthony
Mitchell and his parents Michael and Linda Mitchell sued the City of
Henderson, its Police Chief Jutta Chambers, Officers Garret Poiner,
Ronald Feola, Ramona Walls, Angela Walker, and Christopher Worley, and
City of North Las Vegas and its Police Chief Joseph Chronister, in
Federal Court.
Henderson, pop. 257,000, is a suburb of Las Vegas.
The
Mitchell family's claim includes Third Amendment violations, a rare
claim in the United States. The Third Amendment prohibits quartering
soldiers in citizens' homes in times of peace without the consent of the
owner.
"On the morning of July 10th, 2011, officers from the
Henderson Police Department responded to a domestic violence call at a
neighbor's residence," the Mitchells say in the complaint.
......
Police took Anthony and Michael Mitchell to jail and booked them for
obstructing an officer. They were jailed for at least nine hours before
they bailed out, they say in the complaint. All criminals charged were
dismissed with prejudice. They claim the defendants filed the baseless
criminal charges "to provide cover for defendants' wrongful actions, to
frustrate and impede plaintiffs' ability to seek relief for those
actions, and to further intimidate and retaliate against plaintiffs."
None of the officers were ever subjected to official discipline or even inquiry, the complaint states.
The
Mitchells seek punitive damages for violations of the third, fourth and
14th Amendments, assault and battery, conspiracy, defamation, abuse of
process, malicious prosecution, negligence and emotional distress.
They are represented by Benjamin C. Durham, with Cofer, Geller & Durham, in Las Vegas.

Couple Sex........
An 8-year-old girl went to her grandfather, who was working in the
yard and asked him, "Grandpa, what is a couple sex?
The grandfather was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decided that if she's old enough to know to ask the question then she's old enough to get a straight answer.
Steeling himself to leave nothing out, he proceeded to tell her all about human reproduction and the joys and responsibilities that go along with it.
When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth hanging open, eyes wide in amazement. Seeing the look on her face, the grandfather asked her, "Why did you ask this question, honey?
The little girl replied, "Well, Grandma says to tell you that dinner will be ready in just a couple secs.

California Cops Arrest Man For Videotaping on A Public Street Then Shoot And Kill His Dog...
By Carlos Miller
In one of the most shocking videos I’ve seen since launching this blog six years, ago, Hawthorne police shot and killed a dog while arresting the dog’s owner for video recording them from a half-block away on a public sidewalk.
Several cops were standing in front of a house halfway down the block, apparently to make an arrest over the weekend, while a man walking his dog was video recording them from the corner.
A group of other citizens were recording from across the street and captured the entire exchange, including the arrest of the man and killing of his dog.
