To beat or not to beat - is that the question?!

Greg Krasovsky: This past Sunday, Russian police dispersed, detained and arrested thousands of people in various cities who were trying to protest government corruption.

About a 1000 people were arrested in Moscow alone, were charged with administrative offenses and fined or sentenced up to 15 days in jail.

So I was invited to a Russian TV show to compare how American police disperse and detain protesters.



Sadly, American law enforcement is still tougher on protesters than today's Russian police during dispersals and detentions.
 
So both sides have something to learn: The U.S. on how to reduce excessive use of force and police brutality and Russia on how to ensure and respect the people's right to demonstrate & protest.
 
What do you think?

It Begins: ICE Raids Innocent LEGAL Family and Shoots Their Dad!

Greg Krasovsky: ICE agents have a difficult & dangerous job, just like other federal and local law enforcement personnel.

As such we must support them and, whenever warranted, give them the benefit of doubt.



As a former City of Philadelphia police officer, I know what it's like to enter a building in the pursuit or search of a potentially armed subject, especially at night and/or under poor lighting.

Split-second decisions are made when confronted with a suspect who may be holding a weapon.

Sadly, there's always a possibility that the law enforcement officer could make a mistake and shoot an unarmed suspect who, on top of that, turns out to be an innocent bystander. I've seen this happen to other good police officers who worked with me.

This is another reason why unannounced raids on houses to arrest suspects are dangerous, especially at night, and should be used as a last resort.

Such raids, if conducted merely to detain illegal aliens who have not committed crimes of violence, could lead to avoidable and unjustifiable injuries to innocent civilian bystanders present in the dwelling.

While immigration laws must be enforced, their enforcement should not create unwarranted risks to innocent bystanders -- law enforcement tactics in use must be commensurate with not only their objectives (safe detention of illegal aliens) but also with the safety of the surrounding population.

As such, an objective and thorough investigation of this Chicago ICE shooting must be conducted - both in regard to the use of excessive force (unjustified shooting) and the efficacy of conducting such raids.

If the investigation reveals that an ICE agent used excessive force and shot an innocent unarmed man, then that agent must be held accountable and punished to the fullest extent permitted by law.

If the investigation reveals that the shot man was in fact armed and presented a clear threat to the ICE agent that shot him, then we must rally behind that agent and his colleagues and support them in their dangerous work.

In the meantime, let's pray for the speedy recovery (both physical and psychological) of all innocent persons who were hurt or impacted by this raid and its aftermath.

Also, please consider the illegality and associated risks (which this ICE raid in Chicago demonstrated) of harboring illegal aliens, even in a sanctuary city like Chicago, especially illegal aliens with criminal records (even for non-violent crimes).

What are your views on this matter?

Selected Excerpts from The Free Thought Project's post, "It Begins: ICE Raids Innocent LEGAL Family and Shoots Their Dad"

"Belmont Cragin, IL — Answers must be demanded over the inexplicable shooting of a wholly innocent man in the Chicago area home he’s owned for decades, as ICE agents — ostensively searching for the man’s adult son — opened fire on the homeowner despite children just months old sleeping nearby.


Above photo from https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20170327/belmont-cragin/police-shoot-wound-person-belmont-cragin

And no one knows why U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided the house in the first place — they’re citizens. 
 
ICE claims the family man had a gun. His daughter begs to differ. “It’s a lie when they say he was holding a gun. He doesn’t even own a gun,” railed Carmen Torres, who was asleep in the basement with her one-year-old daughter and husband when the immigration police blasted through the door. “They shot my dad. They shot him, and I don’t know why.” 
 
Official explanations beyond rudimentary factual accounts of the shooting have not been forthcoming — even as the man who did nothing illegal recovers in the hospital. 
 
In fact, Torres, like the rest of his family — including the son allegedly targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — are not in the country illegally. They’re documented American citizens — and have lived in the same location in Chicago’s Belmont Cragin neighborhood for over 30 years. 
 
“They didn’t say anything,” Carmen Torres asserted for the media, adding that, besides her daughter, a 5-month-old and 9-year-old were in the home during the ICE invasion. “They just came in and pointed pistols in our faces and dragged us out. We didn’t even have time to dress or grab milk for the baby.” 
 
But the discrepancies between the nascent official narrative and eyewitness testimony from family and friends in the home at the time of the botched raid only grow stranger from there."

New Spam Campaign via Necurs Botnet Tries to Manipulate the Stock Market!

The Law Office of Gregory Krasovsky:

If you're gullible enough to fall for SPAM stock tips sent out by botnets, please don't forget that insider trading is very illegal!

New Spam Campaign via Necurs Botnet Tries to Manipulate the Stock Market!

"Necurs is back online and used to push "stock tips" about app developer, hikes up trading volumes already



The Necurs botnet is known as the largest spam botnet in the world, particularly for distributing Locky ransomware and Dridex. Now, it looks like Necurs is taking on a new role as someone tries to manipulate the stock market.

The discovery was made by Cisco's threat intelligence organization Talos, which notes that after being offline for several weeks, Necurs is back online."

What the emails contain is a market alert about a specific stock ticker - $INCT - which is attributed to InCapta Inc, a mobile app development company.

The message says that the stock is going to be bought out at $1.37 per share by DJI, which is a drone company, based on a tip coming from a Manhattan firm.



In order to entice the reader, the email further goes on to say that the move would revolutionize the drone industry by creating the first independent drones that can be dispatched to areas of interest such as crime scenes, car chases, wild fires, etc.

Sample email:

"---------- Original message ----------
From: Alfred Prince <Prince4164@telkomkenya.co.ke>
Date: Tue, Mar 21, 2017 at 6:07 PM
Subject: Here is your chance to buy shares that will go up 10x by next week.
To: [sucker@krasovskylaw.com]

To all my subscribers,

As you obviously know, I have been quiet these last couple of months because I really have not had a stock worth recommending for purchase.

After the last stock’s 1,500% gains I really want to make sure that whatever I tell you to buy next will be a big winner since your expectations are high.

Today I want you to keep an eye on INCT (incapta inc) because something really huge is about to happen next week.

One of the gents I work with back in New York told me that INCT is on the verge of signing a deal to sell the company to a large multinational and this deal should be announced on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week and will carry a price per share of $1.38

I guess their special drone technology is too good to ignore, and a massive player wants to acquire all their know-how, IP and manufacturing capabilities.

That being said, this is a very rare opportunity to get in before the deal is officially announced and make a quick 10x on your principal in just 7 days.

Keep this on the low but do act quickly if you want to buy in. I recommend an entry point of 17 cents or under to maximize the upside.

All the best."

US and UK ban laptops and tablets on flights from certain Middle East countries.

US bans larger electronic devices on some flights from Middle East.
"US authorities have secretly required airlines from eight nations to forbid passengers from carrying any electronic or electrical device larger than a cellphone.

The new edict was distributed in an email described as “confidential” from the US transportation safety administration (TSA) on Monday.
The requirement forbids passengers from bringing laptops, iPads, Kindles and even cameras larger than mobile phones into the cabin. All such devices must be checked.
Saudi Arabia’s Saudia Airlines and Royal Jordanian airlines are among the affected countries; the full list had not been revealed to the affected airlines themselves until a press briefing by the US department of Homeland Security on Monday evening."
***
UK bans laptops and tablets on flights from six Middle East countries.
"Nothing larger than smartphone allowed in cabins on planes from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.

The UK government has announced a sweeping new cabin ban on all laptops and tablets on inbound flights from six Middle East countries – regulations that are wider than similar US restrictions.
The ban on anything electronic larger than a normal smartphone will affect direct flights from six countries: Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.
UK airlines will come under the ban, including British Airways, EasyJet, Jet2, Monarch, Thomas Cook and Thomson. Foreign carriers affected are Turkish Airlines, Pegasus Airways, Atlas-Global Airlines, Middle East Airlines, Egyptair. Royal Jordanian, Tunis Air and Saudia.
Though the restrictions, effective immediately, will not apply to flights where UK travellers change planes in European airports, it is likely other European countries are considering similar restrictions."
