A brilliant documentary by Reason's @PaulDetrick that explains Frontera Fund founders Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin's First Amendment fight in the Backpage case.

The corruption in Phoenix-area law enforcement has incredibly deep and old roots.

And no one knows the half of it...

[Stephen Lemons @stephenlemons]

Forget the recent hagiographies from the Phoenix press. Former Phoenix Police Chief Ruben Ortega was a power-mad control freak. And Michael Lacey has the receipts.

Rachel Mitchell struck out on getting cops to charge a man who trolls her online. The state bar was more receptive.

County attorney Rachel Mitchell has a social media troll. She sicced the cops on him -- Phoenix PD, the AG's office, even the FBI. Nothing stuck.

State bar charges did.

Our @stephenlemons went to the carnival that was the Border Security Expo.

It had officials bragging about arresting citizens and sending immigrants to tiny African nations. Weapons displays. Military-grade vehicles.

The most ghoulish things he saw:

Actually, we do. "We don't know what the status of the investigation is because the AG's Office typically doesn't comment on that. But there is a lot of dispute between the County Board of Supervisors and its county attorney." 1/

May 4 was the anniversary of the tragedy at Kent State. That tragedy and opposition to the Vietnam War inspired the creation of what became the Phoenix New Times, more than 50 years ago

Rodney Glassman really fascinates me, it just seems hard to get his gimmick sometimes

He's run for office like 4/5 times since 2010 and has lost all of them. Seems to want to angle to the more moderate Republican crowd but is also dead set on selling TP on him.

@stephenlemons @FPCtweets Cops love sex workers - both fucking them and arresting them. Ultimate power for a misogynist.

Several years ago, Scottsdale police trumpeted an investigation into two strip clubs over an alleged "Hustlers" style scheme to drug clients.

Records show police uncovered no real evidence of that happening.

Richard Mueller, disgraced cop and top investigator for Pinal County Attorney Brad Miller, can't stop won't stop.

In March, he roughed up a 150-pound Black teen who was riding home from school on an ebike.
