Phoenix police raid a blogger

Jeff Pataky is part of a growing number of citizens who are not afraid to expose police foul-ups, unwarranted excessive behavior, and just plain Gestapo-like tactics.

Sadly, the Phoenix police department is not unique in their use of thug-force. How does your police department compare?

It is unfortunate that good cops get grouped in with the bad cops, but they are in a better position to help identify these thugs and get them out of law enforcement.

In what should send a frightening chill down the spine of every blogger, writer, journalist and First Amendment advocate in the United States, Phoenix police raided the home of a blogger who has been highly critical of the department.
Jeff Pataky, who runs Bad Phoenix Cops, said the officers confiscated three computers, routers, modems, hard drives, memory cards and everything necessary to continue blogging.
The 41-year-old software engineer said they also confiscated numerous personal files and documents relating to a pending lawsuit he has against the department alleging harassment - which he says makes it obvious the raid was an act of retaliation.
