Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers' instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.

If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don't band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.

Early in their roughly nine-minute encounter, the 45-year-old, who said she’d been visiting someone at the address, told the officer she was looking for her misplaced keys, footage from his body-worn camera shows. Then the woman, Teresa Gomez, and the officer discussed why she and the passenger were parked outside a public housing complex – a place he said the passenger was not supposed to be, his bodycam video shows; she was unaware of any visitor rules, she said several times.

After she was asked repeatedly to get out of her car, Gomez stood outside it for a while, answering some of the officer’s questions, the video shows. Her passenger was never asked to get out or questioned in a similar way.

The grandmother eventually found her car keys and, with the officer’s permission, sat back in the driver’s seat, according to the video and a federal lawsuit her family filed last week against the city, the police chief and three members of the police force.

Then a half-minute later, she engaged the engine and, with her car door still open, shifted into reverse, pulled back, then put it into drive, the video shows.

The officer, Felipe Hernandez, three times shouted, “Stop!”

Then, he fired multiple times, the video shows.
