  A friend showed me this, and I wondered: “Why isn’t this on BoingBoing?”
  It’s got equal parts of maker and bizarre.

  The cat got hit by a car, and died. The owner is an artist who decided to give it a round of taxidermy, and then kitted the kitteh with RC helicopter rotors.

• Police brutality caught on video (again).

  The cops violently attack a man and damage his video camera, for filming them. Filmed in dark, audio is still OK, and I’m convinced he’s innocent, and at least one of the cops is guilty of brutality.

  Officer Derek Colling needs to be taken off the streets, ASAP. Call the LVMP on 702-828-3231, request to speak with Office of the Sheriff, and when you’re through to them, request that Derek Colling be fired.

  Also, call the IA on 702-828-3422, and ask them why he’s not at least suspended.
