Keeping up with all the police related stories, events and more can be a difficult tasks. Therefore, with the intention of keeping the readers of CopBlock.org informed about the most recent stories, videos and happenings – not only at CopBlock.org but the extended CopBlock offshoots as well – we’ve decided to start a “CopBlock Week in Review” series. Each week a CopBlock contributor will publish a post that highlights the blogs published at the site throughout the week, short stories about other CopBlocker activities and more. So without further ado, lets get into this week’s review.
WHAT OTHER COPBLOCK OFFSHOOT ARE UP TO:
Texas CopBlockers, via Brettsanders.me, broke a story about a pregnant woman in Texas being physically assaulted by cops in Quinlan.
“It all started when one CPS bureaucrat knocked on the door of the residence and directed two Hunt County Sheriff deputies to display a court order to come inside and interview the children and family. The owner of the house asked to see the court order again since it was quickly flashed and not properly displayed.
According to the homeowner, as soon as she requested to view the court order a second time “the police forced their way into the house.” She was pinned in the corner of the kitchen and that’s where the video starts. You can clearly see the 38 week pregnant women as she screams for help and reminds them she’s pregnant”
Sheriff Randy Meeks would later hold a press conference and, to the amusement of everyone attending, claim the pregnant woman reached for the officers gun.

TOP COPBLOCK.ORG STORIES THIS WEEK:
DONNYBROOK AT ARIZONA WALMART BETWEEN IDAHO FAMILY AND POLICE, ONE CIVILIAN DEAD (VIDEO)
Here’s a video we found of a family brawling with the cops at a WalMart in Arizona. The police show up en masse and try to separate a father from his family. He doesn’t take it well and starts yelling. The police escalate the situation, and someone ends up dead.
Ademo Freeman. CopBlock Founder, blogger, and motherfucker was arrested today for contempt of court in Zanesville, Ohio. He was there to see about a Zanesville CopBlocker, who was arrested for obstruction for filming last night. The bailiff in his Bambuser video challenged him to show him where he had walked in the courtroom with a hat on. This created an argument about filming in the courtroom to which Ademo responded, “I sued the last mother fucker who told me I couldn’t record in a courtroom, you wanna be next?”
THUG COPS ASSAULT TEENAGERS, TRY TO DELETE FOOTAGE FROM PHONE
Police in Virginia Beach, VA have been caught on video assaulting two teenagers after pulling them over for a broken license plate light. The cops subsequently tried, and failed, to delete the footage captured via cell phone.
The cops claimed that they could smell marijuana, so had probable cause to detain 18-year-old Courtney Griffith and her 17-year-old friend Brandon, remove them from the vehicle and search it.
The quick thinking Griffith pressed record on her iPhone and placed it on the dashboard, capturing the entire incident.
WEEKLY CORRUPT COPS STORIES
Each week we gather stories about corrupt cops across the country published weekly by StopTheDrugWar.org. Here are a couple stories from the previous week.

HPD OFFICER ARRESTED ON THE JOB, SUSPENDED
An HPD officer was arrested on the job Tuesday, part of Drug Enforcement Agency investigation out of New Orleans.
Houston police arrested Noe Juarez Tuesday morning during roll call at the central command station at 61 Riesner, according to the FBI. The FBI and DEA were working together in an alleged federal drug probe, serving a warrant out of New Orleans.
Charges against him are sealed until after Juarez’s first court appearance, but sources say Juarez was caught escorting a drug cartel across state lines, and apparently he was paid some big money. There are a number people, including law enforcement officers, being investigated, but the FBI wouldn’t comment at this time.
