 Keystone Species Hypothesis
The research resulting in the keystone species concept was done on Makah Tribal lands on the outer coast of Washington State, with the Makahs' permission.
Keystone species are usually noticed when they are removed or they disappear from an ecosystem, resulting in dramatic changes to the rest of the community.
A good illustration of Paine's keystone species concept is provided by the sea otter, which formerly occupied a range extending from the northern Japanese archipelago, through the Aleutian Islands, down the coast of North America as far south as Baja California.

  Keystone Kops   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Keystone Kops was a series of silent film comedies featuring a incompetent group of policemen produced by Mack Sennett for his Keystone Film Company between 1912 and 1917.
The term has since come to be used to criticize any group for its mistakes, particularly if the mistakes happened after a great deal of energy and activity, or if there was a lack of coordination among the members of the group.
For example, in June 2004, the election campaign of the Liberal Party of Canada was compared with "the Keystone Kops running around" by one of its parliamentary members, Carolyn Parrish.

 Reel Cops
A history of Hollywood's shifting image of the police has been written by Robert Reiner entitled "Keystone to Kojak." Surprisingly, one of the first images of policing to appear was a comical one, a group of bumbling buffoons known as the Keystone Cops.
The portrayal of cops as inept, comic clowns was so distasteful to real cops that in 1910, the International Association of Chiefs of Police adopted a resolution condemning Hollywood's image of policing.
However, if cops were depicted as bad, they were typically isolated as "rogue cops," thus freeing the rest of the force from taint.

 Ben Ali Keystone Cop Patrol *   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Keystone Kops were very slapstick-like, relying on speed and numbers to achieve their comedy, rather than sophisticated wit.
They expect pie throwing, high-speed chase, jerky movements and most important, no words; the real Keystone Cops as did all movie stars of their time relied upon the exonerated gestures so necessary to convey meaning in pantomime.
To be true Keystone Cops, we must understand the humor of the silent era.

 TCS Daily - Keystone Food Cops
These Keystone food folks have to realize that this sort of thing tends to under-impress, especially as the basis for sweeping and highly controversial policies that would put more layers of government regulation between every American and his or her stomach.
But the big problem with the Keystone food cops is that they presume to know more than they do.
Perhaps the Keystone food cops were out to lunch when another survey in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association that found 70% of the 1,750 adults surveyed believed that the government had no business telling people what to eat.

 Central America and beyond: Haitian Rebels--"Keystone Cops," not Washington stooges
Perhaps I missed something while on vacation, but on April 12th the St. Petersburg Times published a piece by David Adams (who won the Maria Moors Cabot Prize in 2002 from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism) on the origins of the Haitian rebel movement.
More Keystone Kops than White House-orchestrated covert operations, the events of February were a largely home-grown affair, according to interviews with some of the rebel plotters and their allies, who included the septuagenarian representative of a Ponte Vedra Beach electrical company, and a 36-year-old Republican lawyer from Winter Park.
Far from being a well-equipped army with sophisticated lines of communication and logistics, like the U.S.-backed Nicaraguan Contras of the 1980s, the Haitian rebels were a ragtag bunch of former soldiers and opportunists who begged and borrowed to raise the money for their guns.

 Keystone cops - Harvard Independent - Arts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Playing with the audience's jaded expectations of courtroom drama, Jean-Xavier de Lestrade's documentary, shot in a grainy video style that evokes both COPS and the OJ Simpson trial, paints a picture of police department incompetence no fiction could ever convincingly imagine, and a bureaucratic malignity all the more frightening because it is totally real.
From the film's beginning, which captures the depositions of the principle detectives involved (they admit to singling Butler out on the basis of his race alone) to his inconsistent, but adamant identification by the victim's aged husband, Murder is liable to provoke intense and righteous anger in its audience.
The African-American "interrogation specialist" beats a confession out of Butler, and though he explicitly plays on his race during testimony in claiming a false rapport with the accused, he is also simply a corrupt cop who owes his position to football-player brawn and a sheriff uncle.

 Information about U.S. Proofcard®: 29¢ Keystone Cops   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
From 1914 through the early 1920s, moviegoers were entertained by the antics of the silent screen's most irreverent and incompetent police force, the Keystone Cops.
When they pursued criminals on foot, the Cops were typically involved in collisions with fellow officers, entanglements in clotheslines and even hilarious encounters with innocent bystanders.
As evidenced by the stamp on this Proofcard First Edition, Sennett's Keystone Cops have remained a treasured part of America's silent screen era.

They may be clowns like the Keystone Cops of silent film fame, but those Keystone Cops were also powerless and ineffective, whereas these can actually recommend and get passed expensive and invasive regulations.
At any given moment almost two-thirds of American men and more than three quarters of American women are dieting or watching their weight, at least according to a Center for Disease Control survey back in 1999.
And not content with this paternalism — they are prepared to consider a variety of measures, including using the coercive power of government to make Americans eat not what they want but what the food cops want them to eat.

 Abbott and Costello Meet the Keystone Kops (1955)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Set in 1920s where Costello buys a studio from a conman then spends half the film travelling with Abbott across America then the last half working as a stuntman ina studio where for some reason they presume the conman is hiding - how they come to this conclusion is never explained.
This film has boring spots such as the mistaken identity bit where Abbott dresses as a burglar and Costello the cop where naturally an identical looking burgular and cop are prowling.
The highlight is of course the comic chase at the end which is certainly fun to watch.

And no attempt to contact my parents before the search warrant was executed to inform them, or any attempt to offer to repair the extensive damage to this nearly new home were offered.
This was like the Keystone Cops at work, and not the usual high standards that I expect of law enforcement.
How this screwy SWAT type mission went so wrong could be partially be blamed on no attempt to contact my parents who could have told them that no one like the person who the warrant sought even lived at the house.
