LAPD Scraps Plan to Map Out Muslim Neighborhoods in Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Police Department has stopped a plan to map out Muslim communities after a week of protests from Muslim groups and civil libertarians, who claimed the mapping was outright religious profiling.

The Census Bureau is barred by law from asking people for their religious affiliation. There is no scientific data on the size of the nation’s Muslim population and location. The size of the population is estimated to range from about 1.4 million adults in a Pew Research Center study this year to 7 million or more claimed by some community organizations. Ancestry information on Muslims are difficult to understand since large numbers of people with Iranian backgrounds, for example, are Jewish; and many people with Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian roots could be Christian or Muslim.

FOX NEWS reports that ChoicePoint with iMapData already provides the type of mapping that Los Angeles Police Department was considering.

Another Taser Death: Polish Immigrant Killed at Vancouver International Airport


Robert Dziekanski, 40, of Pieszyce, Poland, was restrained by police with a taser at Vancouver International Airport on October 14, 2007 and died on the scene.

An agitated traveler, Dziekanski was being held in a security area at Vancouver International Airport when he began throwing things. Police arrived to subdue the man. Controversy exists over the amount of times Robert Dziekanski was tasered. Police say he was tasered twice. At least one witness thinks he was tasered four times — two of the times possibly simultaneously. The witness also says the the RCMP arrived at about 1:35 a.m. and that Robert Dziekanski was dead by 1:39 a.m.

There is also controversy about the use of physical retraint after Dziekanski was submissive and possibly unconscious. A police officer is shown in the video with his knee near the head and neck of Robert Dziekanski while he is lying on the ground.

Police use the term “Excited Delerium” to describe agitated or paranoid people. Police say pepper spray and batons were not an option.

Possibly 18 people have died after being stunned by tasers in Canada since 2003, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union is calling for the halt of the use of the taser.

News comes fast every day. Some of it is incomplete. Some of it is wrong. Often it is not connected with past news, so the information on TV, newspapers and magazines is often conflicting and confusing. Many people just turn off the news. The negativity is too much. Too many questions and not enough answers. Overly stressed, these people are wise enough to focus on affirmations and hope, but they miss opportunities and cautions. The Cardinal goal is to process news -- to inform and encourage connection of information, adaptation to news, and ultimately affirmation and the pursuit of excellence in human effort: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
