In a shocking twist it turns out that Tulsa Sheriff Stanly Glanz is corrupt and was stealing money from the people of Tulsa County. Of course I’m being completely facetious and there is not anything shocking about this what so ever. The recent Tulsa grand jury investigation exposes Sheriff Glanz theft of a $600 monthly stipend which was […]
A Message for The Pope: ALL Cops are Terrorists by Definition
I had to laugh when I saw this NBC News headline, ‘Warning on Terrorists Impersonating Cops Issued Before Pope’s Visit,’ pop up on my Facebook news feed only minutes ago. It wasn’t a hearty, ‘I’m in good spirits’ laugh, it was a ha-ha kind of sad laugh you get when you realize the irony of a thing. Your Holiness, I got news for […]
DC Comics’ Dark Knight Batman Takes on Police State Topics
I don’t always enjoy writing about these topics, the thousands of deaths (and growing) at the hands of police in the last few years, the abuse of authority, the blue privilege, the police state in general; so it was a pleasure to hear that my favorite superhero, The Dark Knight Batman takes on police state topics in the […]
Police Recruiting is Down, Hope for a Free Society is Up
The recent “wave of anti-cop sentiment” has many PD’s clamoring to find new recruits while police recruiting is down, and it has people like myself hopeful for a future free of authoritarian policing for profit. The dream is dead, now maybe another innocent, until proven guilty, citizen wont be. Fox News sucks a lot of things and cops are one […]

Police State Allegory in Disney’s Monsters Inc.
For our Police State there’s even a nice Orwellian motto, “We Scare Because We Care”. My four year old son picked the Walt Disney / Pixar movie Monsters Inc. from our DVD’s to watch last night. I haven’t seen the movie in a very long time and it was clear to me in the first few minutes that when I did watch it, I […]
GRAPHIC VIDEO: Body-Cam Footage Released of Topeka Police Officer Shooting Dog
In response to blowback over the death of a local retired judge’s dog last month, the Topeka police have officially announced they will participate in more (of the same) training, and that they are sad. In an interview with WIBW-TV, Topeka Police Deputy Chief Brian Desch and the TPD defend death in animal encounters and said We’re sad. No officer goes to […]
Cop Crashes Cruiser in to Parked Car Tackles Citizen from Behind
This gem of a video popped up a few hours ago on Facebook where the poster tagged us here at Cop Block. They don’t get much better than this! Picture the scene: a beautiful summer day in Portland Maine, jazz music in the background, you’re walking along and suddenly you hear “I’m fixin’ to knock your […]
Ferguson Revisited: One Year Later, Nothing Has Changed
Unless you’ve literally been cloistered in a cave for the last year, or you’re just one of those people who are completely clueless about the world around them, then you know about the murder of Michael Brown. But here is the short version of it anyway: A black man named Michael Brown was gunned down in the middle […]
