in een artikel op Counterpunch staat dat op ts 4 en tien april 10.000 mensen werden gearresteerd in de VS, waarvan er duizend werden van beschuligt voor wat de schrijver vh stuk crimineel vindt.
Heb er nog niets over opgezocht maar hier enkele stukjes uit het artikel.
Operation Falcon was a massive clandestine dragnet that involved hundreds of state, federal and local law-enforcement agencies during the week of April 4 to April 10, 2005. It was the largest criminal-sweep in the nation's history and was brainchild of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and his counterpart in the US Marshal's office, (Director) Ben Reyna.
The secret-raids "produced the largest number of arrests ever recorded during a single initiative," Reyna boasted.
The details are mind-boggling. Over 960 agencies (state, local and federal) were directly involved acting on 13,800 felony warrants and spending nearly $900,000 on the operation.
According to the press releases, which celebrated the dazzling display of law enforcement, the raids netted "162 accused or convicted of murder, 638 wanted for armed robbery, 553 wanted for rape or sexual assault, 154 gang members and 106 unregistered sex offenders." (CNN)
Okay, that's roughly 1,000 criminals; what about the other 9,000? Traffic tickets, late child-support payments, jay-walking???
