Without giving any reason whatsoever, the entire Green Mountain Police department in Colorado has quit. 

The chief of police announced his resignation on Tuesday and he was quickly followed by all the other officers. It has now been 4 days and, remarkably, the town of Green Mountain Falls does not look like a scene out of Mad Max.

“In an election year there’s always some people who choose to stay and some people who choose to go, and I think that happens at every level of government,” Green Mountain Falls Mayor Jane Newberry said.

Despite giving no reason, it is likely that the department disagreed with the local politics and reacted by abandoning their duty as public servants — thereby illustrating the irrelevance…

The Sting: Activist films Cops coercing and bribing him to be Police Spy

SCANDAL IN BARCELONA; Video released of Police coercing activist to spy on anarchist movement Quim Gomero video
Instead of collaborating our comrade courageously arranged for video and audio recordings that were made public and his lawyer hopes to bring a case against the police for threats and blackmail.,
Quim Gomero (pronunced Kim) is a Barcelona activist awaiting trial on ‘terrorist’ charges after the Operation Pandora  and Piñata police raids and arrests in homes and anarchist social centers last year.
The police have little or no evidence against the dozens of defendants who will spend years suffering and fighting the cases. The only case relating to a real incident The ‘firework in the Church’ has already been tried. Mónica and Francisco got 12 years each, with zero concrete evidence against them.
 Crucially Monica and Fran were aquitted of forming an anarcho-terrorist group  (the so called C AG/ FAI / FRI), which was confirmed to be non existant. Almost the only real evidence against all the other defendants in the Piñata/Pandora cases was allegedly being part of this anarchist terrorist conspiracy now confirmed by the courts to be a police invention. The police are desperately and illegally fishing for new evidence

One of the oldest Latino gangs, which now considers itself a social movement, is lending a hand to the relief effort in Ecuador.

In the neighborhood of Turubamba Bajo, the Latin Kings have been collecting donations in their local church for victims of Ecuador’s earthquake.

They have spent 12 hour-days organizing food, water, medicines and clothing to send to the country’s most devastated coastal cities.

Largely stigmatized in Ecuador as criminals, the group actually works on a variety of social intitaitves, including youth development, microfinancing projects, and community education.

The Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation, or the Latin Kings, is the oldest and largest Latino gang in the United States. They developed an international presence in Latin American countries, such as Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Peru and Mexico.

Hadley Gamble reports from Kuwait City where oil workers have gone on strike resulting in the country’s oil output being cut in half.

From daily The Morning Star in Britain:

Oil strike ends after pledge

Thursday 21st April 2016

OIL UNIONS in Kuwait ended a three-day strike over pay cuts in the state-owned industry yesterday, having won a pledge of no reprisals against workers.

The unions said the action showed their “ability to affect the production process.” …

Opposition parties warned over the weekend that the emirate’s government was moving to dissolve the oil sector unions and directing the prosecutor general to investigate their leaders.

“We’re glad to announce that the strike has succeeded in preserving the rights of the workers in the oil sector,” [trade union spokesperson] Mr Fadhel said.
