冰島這星期周前所未聞見的頭條 - 一個人被警察射殺。
It was an unprecedented headline in Iceland this week — a man shot to death by police
“全國震驚﹐我們國家從沒有這事發生” 冰島國家廣播機構RUV 的新聞編輯說。
“The nation was in shock. This does not happen in our country," said Thora Arnorsdottir, news editor at RUV, the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service.
她指的是星期一﹐一個59歲的人被警察槍擊的事件。這人有精神病史﹐在警察進入他的建築時﹐向警察射擊。
She was referring to a 59-year old man who was shot by police on Monday. The man, who started shooting at police when they entered his building, had a history of mental illness.
自從冰島在1944獨立成為共和國之後﹐第一次有人被武裝警察射殺。那裡通常警察不帶武器。暴力犯罪在冰島幾乎不存在。
It's the first time someone has been killed by armed police in Iceland since it became an independent republic in 1944. Police don't even carry weapons, usually. Violent crime in Iceland is almost non-existent.
“這個國家不希望她的警察攜帶武器﹐因為那很危險﹐是個威脅” 編輯Arnorsdottir說 “這是冰島文化的一部分﹐槍支是用來打獵﹐作為一種運動﹐但你從未看見一隻槍”
“The nation does not want its police force to carry weapons because it's dangerous, it's threatening," Arnorsdottir says. "It's a part of the culture. Guns are used to go hunting as a sport, but you never see a gun."
事實上﹐冰島不反槍。她的人口槍支比﹐是世界第15位。仍然﹐這樣的事件極為罕見﹐被槍擊者的鄰居們拿這事與美國電影槍戰場面來比較。
In fact, Iceland isn't anti-gun. In terms of per-capita gun ownership, Iceland ranks 15th in the world. Still, this incident was so rare that neighbors of the man shot were comparing the shooting to a scene from an American film.
冰島警方說涉及的警員將會接受悲傷輔導。警方已經向死者家屬道歉 - 雖然不見得有必要﹐因為他們(警方)沒有作錯事。
The Icelandic police department said officers involved will go through grief counseling. And the police department has already apologized to the family of the man who died — though not necessarily because they did anything wrong.
“我想這是一種尊敬” 編輯說 “因為沒有人想要奪走他人的生命”
"I think it's respectful," Arnorsdottir says, "because no one wants to take another person's life. "
還有一些疑問尚未明﹐包括為何警方在進屋前不先試圖與這人談判。
There are still a number of questions to be answered, including why police didn't first try to negotiate with man before entering his building.
“在這個國家裡﹐有些不錯的事﹐像是你可以進入國會﹐他們唯一的要求是請你關掉手機﹐不致打攪議會發言。我們的首相或總統﹐都沒有武裝警衛跟隨著。這些是生活在在這和平的社會一些好事。我們不希望去改變她。”
"A part of the great thing of living in this country is that you can enter parliament and the only thing they ask you to do is to turn off your cellphone, so you don't disturb the parliamentarians while they're talking. We do not have armed guards following our prime minister or president. That's a part of the great thing of living in a peaceful society. We do not want to change that. "
在星期四夜晚﹐ 紀念在上月被警察監管時﹐被槍擊頭部致命的青少年集會﹐當全副裝備的鎮暴警察﹐使用去催淚彈驅逐這些大部份都是和平的群眾﹐變成了恐慌﹐
A vigil meant to commemorate the memory of a teenager who was fatally shot in the head while in police custody last month turned to panic Thursday night when police in full riot gear deployed tear gas to disperse the mostly peaceful crowd.
17歲的Jesus Huerta(拉美人)﹐上月11月19日在北卡Duram因頭部槍傷死亡。警方說他自己槍擊自己﹐這說法引起社區憤怒﹐因為這少年被槍擊時﹐是被銬住在警車的後座裡。他死亡時這警車是停在警察局後。
Jesus Huerta, 17, died of a gunshot wound to the head on November 19 in Durham, North Carolina. The police department has said that Huerta shot himself, an assertion that has become a subject of outrage in the community because Huerta was at the time handcuffed in the backseat of a patrol car when he was shot. The vehicle was parked behind a police building at the time of his death.
一份由Sanmuel所填寫的警察報告﹐說明在逮捕時他已經被搜身﹐沒有發現槍支。這是過去4個月來﹐涉及警察﹐被槍殺的第3個少年。
A police report filled out by Officer Samuel Duncan noted that Huerta had been searched at the time of his arrest, and no gun was found on him. Huerta is the third minority man to be killed in shootings involving city police within the past four months.
警察局長 Jose Lopez 上星期在記者會中試圖緩和緊張氣氛﹐但是看來似乎是只是造成反效果﹐當他說警方試圖判定這少年是故意還是意外槍擊自己。
Police Chief Jose Lopez attempted to calm nerves during a press conference last week but only seemed to do the opposite when he said police were trying to determine if Huerta shot himself intentionally or by accident. (後略)

警殺民數 超過伊拉克戰爭陣亡美軍 Americans Killed by Cops Now Outnumber Americans Killed in Iraq War 2013/12/19 http://thefreethoughtproject.com/americans-killed-cops-outnumber-americans-killed-iraq-war/
這個國家日增的警察暴力﹐是個嚇人的事實。在過去10年被警察謀殺的人數高達5千。而美軍從伊拉克戰爭開始後陣亡的數字是4,489。
The increase in police brutality in this country is a frightening reality. In the last decade alone the number of
people murdered by police has reached 5,000. The number of soldiers killed since the inception of the Iraq war, 4489.
什麼地方出了錯﹖在1970年﹐警方霹靂小組估計是每年出動只有幾百次﹐而現在我們看到的是每年超過4萬次的﹐向軍事行動的"先衝撞再表白身分"的警察突襲。
What went wrong? In the 1970’s SWAT teams were estimated to be used just a few hundred times per year, now we are looking at over 40,000 military style “knock and announce” police raids a year. ~

#1 How'd he get from there to there? 他怎麼從那裡到那裡 ﹖ #2 Because he ran, the police was still in the truck – cause he was like over the truck 因為他跑開﹐警察還在車裡 - 因為他看是在在車上外邊 {crosstalk} 交叉雜話
#2 But him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran – the police got out and ran after him 但是他和警察都在車裡﹐然後他跑開 - 警察也出來追他。 {crosstalk} 交叉雜話
#2 Then the next thing I know he doubled back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him – 然後我知道的下件事﹐是他原路折回向著警察﹐因為警察拔槍指向他 #1. Oh, the police got his gun 哦﹐警察拿槍 #2 The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing – he like – be like – but he kept coming toward him 警察持續向他開槍﹐我在想警察都沒打中他﹐他繼續向警察逼近 {crosstalk}交叉雜話
#2 Police fired shots – the next thing I know – the police was missing 警察開槍 - 下件我知道的下件事是 - 警察不見了 #1 The Police? 警察 ﹖ #2 The Police shot him 那開槍的警察 #1 Police? 警察﹖ #2 The next thing I know … I’m thinking … the dude started running … (garbled something about “he took it from him”) 我知道的下件事 ... 我想 ... 這傢伙開始跑 (拿了某個物件"他從他那兒拿的")
警察的女性朋友達電話到廣播電臺節目中 說明事件的經過
他在前頭停下﹐聽到警車通訊說有武力搶案發生﹐聽了描述﹐他看到他們(死者及友)手上有拿東西﹐像是雪茄等(被搶物品)。所以他倒車靠近他們﹐想要出到車外。他們用力把車門推回關上﹐我想他說的是麥克(死者)﹐然後他再度把車門大開﹐站出來。
“He pulled up ahead of them. And then he got a call-in that there was a strong-arm robbery. And, they gave a description. And, he’s looking at them and they got something in their hands and it looks like it could be what, you know those cigars or whatever. So he goes in reverse back to them. Tries to get out of his car. They slam his door shut violently. I think he said Michael did. And, then he opened the car again. He tried to get out. He stands up.
然後麥克猛然衝向他﹐把他推回車內﹐用拳擊他臉部﹐然後Darren(警察)抓住他的槍﹐麥克也抓住了槍﹐他一度將槍完全的壓在他屁股上﹐然後他把它推開﹐接著槍走火。
And then Michael just bum-rushes him and shoves him back into his car. Punches him in the face and them Darren grabs for his gun. Michael grabbed for the gun. At one point he got the gun entirely turned against his hip. And he shoves it away. And the gun goes off.
然後麥克逃走到月35尺遠(約11公尺)﹐Darren (警察)的第一守則就是追﹐所以他站起來喊說"不要動!"。麥克跟他的朋友轉過身來﹐然後麥克嘲弄他 ... 然後突然間他就猛然衝向他﹐全速衝向他﹐所以他開始射擊﹐但是他仍然繼續衝來﹐所以他認為他(麥克)用了什麼東西(指藥物或吸毒等)
Well, then Michael takes off and gets to be about 35 feet away. And, Darren’s first protocol is to pursue. So, he stands up and yells, “Freeze!” Michael and his friend turn around. And Michael taunts him… And then all the sudden he just started bumrushing him. He just started coming at him full speed. And, so he just started shooting. And, he just kept coming. And, so he really thinks he was on something.”
我認為是有預謀的戒嚴演習。Infowars 的人都這麼說,他們的記者發現暴徒是從外地來的,周末才來搶商店,製造動亂,而搶劫時警方都完全不聞不問。真正當地居民白天和平抗議之後到晚上都回家休息了,剩下外地僱來的暴民在對警察挑釁,丟汽油彈,開槍等等。記者說有 New Black Panthers 的人與當地警方合作,企圖將衝突升高為黑白種族議題,前幾天實施宵禁,昨天國民防衛隊也開進去了。

It’s not your imagination: the New York Police Department has been planing evidence and framing innocent people all in order to meet arrest quotes.
這不是你的想像: 紐約警察部門栽贓誣陷無辜百姓﹐全是為了達到逮捕配額。
This comes as an a former New York City narcotics detective, Stephen Anderson, testified in court that the NYPD routinely plants drugs on innocent people. He described this as a “common practice,” a “quick and easy” way for officers to reach arrest quotas.
這來自前紐約緝毒警探 史蒂分.安德生(Stephen Anderson)﹐在法庭作證說 - 紐約警局例行的栽贓毒品給無辜的人們。他說這是"普遍的手法"﹐一個"簡單快速"的方法﹐讓警察達到逮捕配額。
The practice is known among NYPD cops as “flaking.”
這種手法叫撒雪花"flaking"﹐為紐約警察所熟知。
Anderson was busted, along with four other officers, “flaking” four men in Queens back in 2008. He has cooperated with prosecutors, and is admitting that far from a few “bad apples,” this is the modus operandi of the NYPD.
安德生同其它4名警察﹐2008年在紐約皇后區﹐"撒雪花"(栽贓)4位男士後被逮捕﹐他與檢查官合作﹐承認這(栽贓逮捕)不只是一些少數的"壞蘋果"﹐而是紐約警局的一貫手法。
"It was something I was seeing a lot of, whether it was from supervisors or undercovers and even investigators,” Anderson testified.
"這是很多我常見的﹐不管是主管﹐便衣﹐甚至調查員(都如此)" 安德生作證說。
"It’s almost like you have no emotion with it, that they attach the bodies to it, they’re going to be out of jail tomorrow anyway; nothing is going to happen to them anyway.”
"幾乎像是你毫無感情﹐栽贓給人們﹐無論如何﹐他們次日就會從監牢放出; 他們不會發生任何事"
The NYPD arrested over 50,000 people last year for low-level marijuana offenses.
紐約警察去年就低程度的大麻違規﹐逮捕了超過5萬人。
As it turns out 86% of them are African American and Latino.
這些被逮捕的人有86%是非裔及拉丁裔。
今年八月Ferguson示威期間,傳遍全球的一張照片,高舉雙手的只是一個過路人,全副武裝的不是軍隊,而是當地的警察。請注意這些警察雖然拿的是軍用的突撃步槍,卻没有受過真正的軍事訓練。真正的軍人在手無寸鐵的百姓前,槍口必須朝天,手指離開板機,以免槍枝走火,誤傷無辜。不過“無辜百姓”這個觀念,美國警察顯然是没有的。所以那個郵箱上的塗鴉寫的是“Fuck The Police”。
如果讀者還覺得這是特例,或者Brown可能死有應得,那請你到youtube去看看這個全程被錄下來的警察殺人事件:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ta2-7QJM78&bpctr=1413819672。這個死者叫Kajieme Powell,他有精神病,在Brown死後一個多禮拜的幾公里外的地方,拿着一把很小的小刀在街頭大喊大叫。路人並不覺得受了威脅,只覺得他很奇怪;但是警察一到,幾秒鍾後就開槍把他打死了。這次開槍連警方内部都不須要調查,更不用麻煩檢察官了;這是因為死者明顯地手執“武器”,所以警察開槍是理所當然的。事後警方說Kajieme Powell事件是“Suicide By Police”,也就是“用警察自殺”。這不是一個新名詞,在美國,這是一個大家都知道的概念:在警察面前持刀,就是自殺。好玩的是,美國的法律規定,幫助别人自殺是等同殺人罪的。不過美國的法律和税收一様,只針對小老百姓;警察是維持社會秩序和統治階級特權的重要工具,當然不受限制了。
當一個人買不起白米的時候,他的唯一自由選擇就是挨餓,長期下來生命是否值得活下去都很難說。不過在美國的大金主控制的大眾傳播媒體中,用無腦的口號(例如“America is Number One!”或“America is awesome!”,參見http://thedailyshow.cc.com/video ... erything-is-awesome)來遮掩這些“細節”非常容易,其結果就是在大富豪開始奪取政權的1970年代後40多年間(參見前文《富豪口袋裡的國家》),不但美國社會的反智傾向越來越强烈,而且一般百姓的人權被逐步銷蝕,到現在早已名存實亡,卻也没有多少人真正關注或理解。
..............................................
..............................................
我在前文《自由殺人的美國警察》和《再談自由殺人的美國警察》已經解釋過,最近幾十年來,美國的警察只要是在執勤,開槍殺人不論如何離譜,都不會有事:不但没有刑責,連被開除都是聞所未聞,唯一的節制是警察個人的心理傾向。結果當然是每年有1400人左右被警察射殺,而美國政府的唯一處置方案只是設法遮掩隱瞞(詳見前文《自由撒謊的美國政府和媒體》)。
............................
............................
在自由權上,NSA對内對外的無限監聽已經是全世界眾所周知的事,但是不住美國的人往往不知道在2001年的911事件之後,美國通過了Patriot Act(“爱國者”法案),容許警察不須拘票就可以對非公民做無限期的逮捕和拘留;即使對象是公民,警察也不須法官准許就可以隨意搜索其人身、住宅和車輛,逮捕和拘留雖然有期限,但也是隨警察高興而没有其他的節制或監督的。警察既然連随興殺人都不會有後果,随興抓人當然更不在話下。真正的人身安全和自由,就變成得靠你的身份、地位、財富和關係才有保障。可是我一直到這個月讀了這一篇華盛頓郵報的報導(詳見http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf ... /06/stop-and-seize/。Washington Post是亜馬遜老板Jeff Bezos的私人財產,是美國極少數不屬於大傳媒集團的全國性新聞媒體)才知道美國公民連財產權也喪失了。
如果讀者的英文過得去,我强烈鼓勵你去詳細閲讀華盛頓郵報的原文,在這裡我只摘要簡單說說。在爱國者法案裡,有一個小小的條款,准許警察在隨意搜索公民之後,“暫時”扣押他的財產,尤其是現金,完全不需任何條件。我再說一次,完全不需任何條件,也就是連罰單都不用開,警察高興拿走你的銭包,就可以拿走你的銭包。這様的隨意扣押,叫做“暫時”的,因為名義上你可以到法院去申請還銭。實際上住過美國的人都知道這裡的法院又貴又慢,尤其是開長途車被警察搶劫了幾千幾萬塊之後,你若是要上法院,必須回到當地十幾次,平均時間在一年左右(華盛頓郵報的統計是40%在一年以上),光律師費、油銭和旅館費都會輕易上好幾萬,根本就不划算,還不如自認倒霉。其結果是只有1/6的被害者上了法庭。照規定,警察扣押的銭有一部分必須要上缴給聯邦政府的國土安全部(Department of Homeland Security),華盛頓郵報的數據是過去十幾年,共有61998件扣押,總金額是25億美元,但是國土安全部很慷慨,只收不到1/3的銭,17億美元也就是68%被留給地方政府,叫做Equitable Sharing(“公平分享(贓)”)。如此一來,地方政府當然是把扣押當做一個大財源,而美國的地方法官是民選的,是政客而不是專業法官,當然也不會擋鎮上的財路,結果是只有41%告上法院的人(即所有被害者的6.8%)才拿到銭回來,而且只是一部分銭,因為警察局要收手續費。如果你覺得這已經够離譜了,這6.8%的幸運兒還必須簽授權協議書,同意不再繼續告警察。

在簡短的影片中﹐顯然兩個安全警衛﹐或是要留置﹐或是要搜索人民﹐而根據這警員說﹐這些人只是在提名自己的產業上觀看(國情)煙火﹐不應該被騷擾。
In the brief video, it appears that two security guards were either detaining and/or about to search people. According to the officer, the people were simply on their own property watching fireworks and did not deserve to be harassed.
"我有宣示效忠憲法﹐所以不要對這些公民亂搞憲法﹐你瞭解我嗎﹖我知道你們的職務不受憲法規範﹐但是不要亂搞憲法" 警察這樣說﹐令人震驚。
“There is a constitution that I swear an oath to, so don’t freaking mess with it with these citizens. Do you understand me? I know you aren’t subjected to the constitution when it comes to your job, but don’t mess with it,” says the cop, shockingly.
"他們在自己的產業上有權利﹐不被任何人搜索。他們有權利不被誘補" 他繼續說。
“They have a right to their property. They have a right not to be searched by anybody. They have a right not to be accosted,” he goes on.
"我向憲法宣誓過﹐不要亂搞憲法" 這警察走開時如此說﹐然後錄影結束。
“I swore an oath to the constitution, don’t mess with it,” says the cop as he walks away. The video then ends.
