Judge says Police Shooting was 'more like an assassination than an arrest' - Orange County Deputies Shot at Unarmed Black Man 137 Times

Denali as Coffin.In photo, Torey Breedlove's car. Despite the lack of frontal damage, Deputies said Breedlove had rammed undercover vehicles while attempting to flee. Breedlove's body was pierced more than 20 times by officers' bullets, resulting in his death. In the lawsuit filed Breedlove's estate alleges the "quantity and manner" of the shots fired constitute "unconscionable conduct" against "an unarmed citizen.

From [HERE] An Orlando federal judge has likened the conduct of 10 deputies who killed suspected car thief Torey Breedlove in a hail of gunfire to an "execution" rather than an attempted arrest. Breedlove, a Black man, was killed three years ago by Orange County deputies who were waiting for him at an Orlando-area apartment complex. His estate filed suit, claiming the deputies used excessive force and violated Breedlove's civil rights.

The case has not yet gone to trial, but in his order, U.S. District Judge Gregory A. Presnell suggested the deputies acted "unreasonably." The judge also was careful to note, however, that by law, all evidence in the case must be viewed "in a light most favorable" to Breedlove's estate. The lawsuit stems from a Jan. 5, 2010 takedown that ultimately resulted in 137 shots being fired by deputies into a GMC Denali driven by 27-year-old Breedlove.

In September 2010 an Orange County grand jury ruled the shooting death was justified. "The shooting was justified," said State Attorney Lawson Lamar (racist suspect in photo). Attorney Natalie Jackson said the grand jury only heard "one side" of Breedlove's shooting, and called the Sheriff's Office policy governing the use of deadly force insufficient.

"A reasonable jury could conclude that Officers used excessive force under these circumstances," Presnell said in his order.

"A reasonable juror might also question why 137 shots were required to secure an unarmed suspect who drove a few dozen yards through a small parking lot, with a flat tire, at a relatively slow speed causing some minor fender-benders with unoccupied cars, and was pinned between two cars with his hands up." 

"[T]he conduct at issue here is more akin to an execution than an attempt to arrest an unarmed suspect," Presnell wrote. No trial date has been set.

Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed against Dallas: Cop Shot Unarmed Black Man 9 Times. Said he was reaching in pockets - nothing in pockets 

From [HERE] The family of an unarmed Black man killed by a Dallas police officer is suing the city in a wrongful death lawsuit that is expected to go to court this September. On Monday, former police officer Matthew Tate, attorneys for the city of Dallas and administrators with the Dallas Police Department sat down with some of the surviving family members of Tobias Mackey at the Federal Courthouse in Dallas for a private mediation hearing.

At the age of 25, Mackey was shot nine times by Tate on Oct. 29, 2010, when the officer said Mackey did not follow commands to show his hands. He was shot six times in his chest, three times in his hands, and the last shot to his head. [MORE] The suit claims that after being shot, Mackey said: “Why did you shoot me? I don’t have anything.” Tate then shot him again, at close range, the suit alleges. 

Tate, a 3-year veteran of the police department, was investigating "drug activity" at the Cedar Garden Apartments at the time of the shooting. Mackey was visiting his mother. He said as Mackey approached him in a breezeway, he ordered the man to show him his hands. When he didn't, Tate opened fire, fatally shooting Mackey. Dallas police say Mackey started to reach in his pockets. He was unarmed, nothing was in his pockets. Eleven-year-old Xavier Collins (in photo below) was standing in a nearby breezeway and was shot in the arm. He made a full recovery.

Stephen Benavides, the Mackey family’s consultant confirmed “there were eye witness reports that the scene of the crime was tampered with, the body was removed, the blood was cleaned up, [and] that the residents of the apartment complex were forced back inside their complex.” Witnesses in the complex saw officers removing bullets and shell casings and moving Tobias Mackey's body before the investigators arrived. [MORE]

An internal investigation was conducted and, though Mackey was not the target of the investigation at the apartment complex and was unarmed at the time of the shooting, Tate was cleared of any wrongdoing and was not indicted by a grand jury. Tate resigned from the police department soon after.

White Prosecutor Ignores DNA and fingerprint evidence: Moves Forward with Tuesday Execution of Black Man Accused of Murdering 2 White People 

In photo, Mississippi AG Jim Hood says DNA test wouldn't exonerate death row inmate Willie Jerome Manning. 

From [HERE] There is more. Although there was incriminating evidence against him at trial, Manning has always maintained his innocence. And jury selection during his 1994 trial -- wherein a black man was accused of murdering two white people in the Deep South -- was marked by the sort of racial attitudes over peremptory challenges that has since caused the United States Supreme Court, in Miller-El v. Dretke and Snyder v. Louisiana, to caution state lawyers about coming into appellate courts with "unreasonable" justifications for excluding black jurors from cases involving black defendants. Over and over again, Manning's prosecutors excluded black jurors from his trial, sometimes for no other reason than that they read "black" magazines.

Racial bias. A faulty confession. Untested scientific evidence. In these circumstances, one could reasonably argue that the "accuracy" of Manning's conviction and death sentence are in doubt. Even more rationally, one could argue that the state has at its disposal the relatively simple means to answer some of the most basic questions raised by the case -- test the evidence! But late last month, in a divided ruling, the Supreme Court of Mississippi declared that the time had come to end the debate over Manning's case and his cause. By a 5-4 vote, the justices rejected the defendant's attempt to test the evidence and for other relief.

In photo, the nearly all white Mississippi Supreme Court 

So, despite serious questions about the credibility of the prosecution's most powerful witness, and without evaluating the scientific evidence that could supply a definitive answer, state officials plan to put Manning to death by lethal injection at 6 p.m. next Tuesday, May 7, at the state penitentiary in Sunflower County, Mississippi. He will be executed at ol' Parchman unless the Supreme Court in Washington, or the governor in Jackson, stops the execution and orders Mississippi officials, at a minimum, to undertake the testing that would help get to the truth of the matter.

"If you try to help Black people, you will be killed": FBI adds 65-year-old Black Panther to Most Wanted Terrorists list

"If you try to help Black people, you will be killed" - 10 year old Black child [MORE]. From [HERE] The Federal Bureau of Investigation has announced that Assata Shakur (Joanne Chesimard) has been added to its Most Wanted Terrorists list. Thursday's bulletin gave Chesimard, a black woman, the dubious distinction of being the first woman to be placed on the list.

Federal and New Jersey law enforcement announced during Thursday’s news conference that they had doubled the reward for information leading to Shakur’s capture from $1 million to $2 million. She is only the second domestic 'terrorist' on the list, which was assembled to identify those responsible for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. 

We would be naïve to think there’s not some communication between her and some of those people she used to run around with today,” said Aaron Ford, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s office in Newark, New Jersey. 

He did not elaborate on the reasoning (white supremacy/racism) behind the seemingly sudden decision to add Shakur, now 65 years old, to the list. New Jersey law enforcement has previously campaigned for her extradition, appealing to Pope John Paul II when he traveled to Cuba in 1998.

Racist LAPD Shells Out $4.2 Million to 71 yr. old Latino Woman "Mistaken" for Christopher Dorner 

Looks Just Like him though. From [HERE] The Latino women injured when Los Angeles police opened fire on them during the manhunt for ex-cop Christopher Dorner have reached a $4.2-million settlement with the city, City Atty. Carmen Trutanich told the LA Times. Margie Carranza, 47, and her mother, Emma Hernandez, 71, were delivering newspapers in Torrance on the morning of Feb. 7, when officers "mistook" their blue Toyota Tacoma for Dorner’s gray Nissan Titan. 

The settlement, which allows both sides to avoid a trial, brings the Los Angeles Police Department nearer to closing what had been an embarrassing chapter in its search for Dorner. Hernandez was shot twice in the back and her daughter suffered hand injuries from flying debris when two officers opened fire on them. 

This was no mistake. Police did not want this Black man alive and were given the green light to practice unbridled white supremacy. In this "emergency" climate (see Boston), white people get lathered up and anything goes. The Latino women were shot from the rear with over 20 bullets. Hernandez's attorney said, "the problem with the situation is it looked like the police had the goal of administering street justice and in so doing, didn't take the time to notice that these two older, small Latina women don't look like a large black man." [MORE] (Dorner was 6 foot 270lbs.)

Torrence Police also gunned down a black Honda truck on the same day. Cops purposely collided with the black truck and shot at the "Dorner clone." The driver was a baggage handler at LAX heading to the beach to go surfing, The Times reported. Avoiding bullets that had ripped through his windshield, David Perdue, a white man (in photo above)was not shot but suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury in the crash. [MORE]

Racism Instead of Evidence - nigger had to go, "manifesto" said so

Christopher Jordan Dorner is a former Black LAPD police officer and ex-United States Navy reservist who was a named suspect in the 2013 Southern California shootings, which left three people dead and two others wounded. He was alleged to have killed Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence, a couple recently engaged in Irving, CA. and a white Riverside Officer Michael Crain in Riverside, CA. No LAPD officers were killed. Said murders were the basis for the manhunt. (The fourth murder attributed to Dorner occurred before his alleged death during the chase into the cabin).  The large organized manhunt  spanned four U.S. states (California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico) and Mexico.

The LAPD has produced virtually no evidence linking him to any of the murders that led to the manhunt. The so-called (virtual/facebook) "manifesto" remains unauthenticated and apparently there is no proof that Dorner authored it. [MORE] and [MORE]

Wisconsin is Number 1 in Locking up Blacks: More than half of all Black men in their 30s - 40s in Milwaukee County have served time in state prisons

From [HERE] “Murphy’s Law” at UrbanMilwaukee.com covers a new report by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Employment & Training Institute (ETI) that found that more than half of all African American males in their 30s and 40s in Milwaukee County have served time in state prisons. “The numbers are truly shocking,” says Marc Mauer, executive director of The Sentencing Project.

No state comes close to Wisconsin in imprisoning black males. The study found that 12.8 percent, or 1 in 8 of African American working age men, were incarcerated. That rate is 32 percent higher than the second worst state, Oklahoma, and nearly double the national average of 6.7 percent (or 1 in 15).

By contrast, Wisconsin’s rate of incarceration of white men is similar to the national average and the rate for Hispanics is actually lower than the national average. “It certainly is disturbing to see this rate of imprisonment for black males,” says Mauer.[MORE]

The United States has less than 5% of the world's population. But it has almost a quarter of the world's prisoners." One in four Black men is likely to be imprisoned. This issue is not even an after thought in public discourse. Presidents, judges, prosecutors, the media etc. carry on as if  - as if the maintenance of white supremacy is their goal. It is. See for yourself. Get off the internet and go to your local court and watch the lock-ups/arraignments; they are all Black & Brown. According to Neely Fuller the System of White Supremacy Requires a Substantial Number of Non-Whites to be Incarcerated  [more]

Racism is not merely a pattern of individual and/or institutional practice; it is a universal "operating system" of white supremacy and domination in which the majority of the world's white people participate. [MORE]  The ultimate objective of white supremacy is collective white genetic survival. The destruction of Black males for the purpose of white genetic survival is the reason behind the number of non-white males in the prison system.

$20 a Month: "Made in Bangladesh" by Brown Kids

From [HERE] Bangladesh’s garment industry is responsible for nearly 80 percent of the country’s exports - mainly to Europe and the United States - and is the country's single greatest source of economic growth.

An estimated 2-3 million Bangladeshis are employed in more than 4,000 factories all over the country, not including the thousands of sub-suppliers.

About 80 percent of the working force are women. Sub-suppliers often employ children under the age of 14, although this violates national law. Workers are often underpaid: many factories pay as little as 1,500-2,000 taka ($19-26) a month, though by law the minimum wage is higher than this. Workers often toil for up to 12 hours a day, six days a week. [MORE]

According to Dr. Blynd, a McJob is a "low pay," low prestige, low benefit, no benefit, no future job in the feudal looks-like-it-could-be food chain service (servitude) sector of the New God Economy. (See: Ploiter & Eyeservant). [MORE].

(Petitioning White Folks & 'Poking Holes in the Air with Signs' will not stop White Supremacy) Protest planned over Cleveland Police Execution of Black Couple 

137 Shots. As stated by Neely Fuller about this incident, "You Should expect to be killed in the name of racism anytime, any place. You have been marked as an enemy because you are Black. Keep your protest signs because this will happen again. [MORE] Thus far, singing songs and protests have not led to justice for non-white people. [MORE] In photo, Police Claim they heard a Gun Shot & Saw a Gun Thrown Out of a Window: White Attorney General Found Car was Prone to Loud Backfiring from Muffler. No gun or gun residue was found after an exhaustive search. 

From [HERE] Cleveland community activists are planning to protest against what they see as the use of excessive force by city police after a review found 100 officers broke rules in a car chase in which an unarmed Black people - the driver and his passenger were shot dead.

According to Ohio’s attorney general, "leadership and communication failures" led to the chaotic police chase in Cleveland last fall that ended with 13 officers firing 137 rounds and killing the unarmed couple.

In photo, mostly white Cleveland police officers listen to their union president Jeffery Follmer speak to media at the CPPA hall on December 1, 2012. [MORE

All told, 47 of the 137 rounds fired by 13 Cleveland officers hit their targets -- 43-year-old Timothy Russell and 30-year-old Malissa Williams, according to the Cuyahoga County medical examiner. Dr. Thomas P. Gilson reported that 24 of the rounds riddled the head, neck, body and an arm of Williams, who was a passenger in the Chevrolet Malibu SS, and 23 rounds struck the head, neck and extremities of driver Timothy Russell. 12 of the 13 officers involved were white. [MORE]

Activist Kathy Coleman told Reuters on Thursday that residents plan a rally on Monday to demand police officers involved in the chase receive appropriate punishment and the city take action against the problem of excessive force. "People are saying some of the cops might only get a 10-day suspension," activist Kathy Coleman told Reuters. "We want them fired, prosecuted and brought to justice."

White Buena Vista Clerk says she is Super Sorry for calling Black Official "Arrogant Nigger"

From [HERE] and [HERE] The white Buena Vista Township, Michigan clerk is in hot water after calling the Black township supervisor, a nigger. Now, Gloria Platko is apologizing and defending herself. Buena Vista Township residents are calling for her resignation. The clerk says she's sorry for offending residents but she has no plans to step down. She is apologizing for what she calls, "a slip of the tongue."

"I'm sorry to my five other board members and I'm entirely sorry to this entire community," says Platko.

Platko was recorded calling township supervisor Dwayne Parker "a nigger." Platko says that doesn't make her racist. "I've eaten Thanksgiving dinner with black friends at their house. So I'm far from prejudiced. You need to go interview some of the black people who have supported me for the last four or five years," says Platko.

[Interim Township Manager Dexter] Mitchell said he recorded the call in January without Platko’s knowledge because he didn’t want her to twist his words. About six minutes into the recording, Mitchell asks, “Would you be willing to sit down with (Parker)?” Platko told Mitchell that Parker is “just rubbing me the wrong way.

“He is just doing whatever he can. You know what I think of Mr. Parker right now, and I know you’re not even going to like this,” Platko said in the recording. “But he’s just an arrogant Nigger. And I’m sorry to say it that way, but that’s the way I feel.”

As stated by Wonkette, "Gloria Platko just doesn’t give a fuck if you like it. When she wants to call someone an arrogant nigger, she’s going to call that person an arrogant nigger. Like you could do before basic human decency ruined what used to be a free country."

Platko said she was taught at a young age that there was nothing wrong with the use of the N-word and she believes people are taking her use of it the wrong way. “Every race of people have (N-words), every culture has (N-words),” 69-year-old Platko said. “Look up the definition. I learned that way back in grade school. I learned that at St. Joe’s and Holy Rosary.

"In the absence of white supremacy, niggers would not exist." According to the Code Word Guide, a Nigger is any non-white person, who is directly or indirectly subject to the System of White Supremacy (Racism) in any area of activity, including Economics, Education, Entertainment, Labor, law, Politics, Religion, Sex and/or War. According to Dr. Blynd, a nigger is a species of caterpillar-known also as a 'black jack.' [MORE

According to Anon: [MORE]

The Definition Of "Nigger" In A White Supremacy System:

1. "Nigger" is NOT a racial identity.

2. ALL non-white people are niggers  -  by default - in a system of white supremacy.

3."Nigger" is NOT a personality defect.

4."Nigger" is a political term that defines a social, economic, and political REALITY.

5. A nigger cannot decide who is a nigger and who is not.

6. All black people are niggers but all niggers are not black people.

7. All non-white people are niggers (in a system of white supremacy). 

8. There is no place on earth called "Nigger Land," therefore niggers are NOT born (niggers), they are CREATED.

9. White people cannot be niggers in a system of white supremacy.

10. There is NO racial slur for whites that is the social, economic, or political equivalent of "nigger" in a white supremacist system.

11. There is no such thing as "acting like a nigger."

12. Being a nigger has nothing to do with being ignorant, backward, country, poor, or uneducated. Those qualities are found in every ethnic group.

13. No amount of education, professional achievements, or fancy table manners will transform a nigger into a white person in a system of white supremacy.

14. Nigger is not a lifestyle or behavior, it's a condition. Accusing someone of acting like a "nigger" is like saying, "Stop acting poor!" If you're poor, you act poor. In other words, your behavior reflects your conditions NOT your race.

15. If we eliminated poverty and white supremacy, there would be no poor folks or niggers.

White Supremacy = the Ultimate Form of Affirmative Action: Just 7 Percent Of Georgia Governor’s Appointees Are Black, 30 Percent of Georgians Are Black

From [HERE] Earlier this month Gov. Nathan Deal (R-GA) called a request for him to support integrating a still-segregated school prom in Wilcox County, Georgia a “silly publicity stunt,” and he later labeled the segregated prom quesiton a “private issue[], and not something that the state government needs to have its finger involved in.”

Perhaps he would feel differently if he surrounded himself with more diverse appointments.

Despite the fact that nearly one-third of Georgians are African-American, only a tiny fraction of Deal’s appointees are black. According to a recent report on the Deal Administration, African-Americans accounted for just over 7 percent of Deal’s appointments, and nearly 90 percent are white. The same report found that 70 percent of his appointees are men.

White Party (Republican) Congressman Says Islam Will ‘Motivate [non-white] People to Murder [white] Children’

From [HERE] Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) during a hearing on Friday said that he believes that Islam as a whole is a threat to the United States, labeling it as a religion that will “motivate people to murder children.” 

During a hearing he chaired on “Islamist Extremism in Chechnya: A Threat to the U.S. Homeland?” Rohrabacher continually referred to the 2004 Beslan hostage situation — in which Chechen extremists took control of a school in Russia resulting in the death of more than 180 children — as an example of the threat that Islam poses.

At one point, the California Republican sought to clarify that he wasn’t opposed to any religious group gaining power within a region — only Islam. “What we need to worry about is if it happens to be a religion that convinces people that part of their faith is to go off and murder other people’s children,” he said, referring to Islam broadly. Later in the hearing, Rohrabacher was more clear:

ROHRABACHER: At the end of the Cold War, I was the Soviet Union’s worst enemy, nemesis, because I believe that free people need to determine who their number one enemies are and work to try to defeat them. And that doesn’t mean that the people you work with are perfect, et cetera. We did bring down the Soviet Union and we worked with a lot of people who had a lot of faults. Today radical Islam and China appear to be the main adversaries, the main threat to the free world. I hope we all work together against a religion that will motivate people to murder children and other threats to us as a civilization.

New Orleans Police Investigate & Clear themselves: Video is Wrong. Cops Did Not Assault Unarmed Black Teens during "Curfew Check" 

The above video was released last month showing a gang of white plainclothes overseers (officers) attacking two Black teenagers. Officers assaulted the youths because "they appeared to be in violation of curfew" during Mardi Gras. The video, which lacks audio, shows 17-year-old Sidney Newman and 18-year-old Ferdinand Hunt standing against a wall. The officers approach quickly as the boys appear to have their backs turned to the white men.  All the officers are wearing jeans and other casual attire - one has on a backwards baseball cap, another has beads around his neck. The officers tackle the teenagers to the ground and then pounce on them. [MORE

State Police say undercover officers did not use excessive force in the French Quarter take down of two teenagers. An internal investigation by State Police concludes there was no wrong-doing, and officers used minimal force. State Police concluded no one was struck, hit, or kicked; and no weapons were drawn. 

WGNO News Reporter Darian Trotter asked, “What do you see in that video? I see an abuse of power,” King replied.

Danatus King is President of the New Orleans branch of the NAACP. He says the conclusion by State Police is baffling. “Any and all evidence that was relied upon by State Police should be released to the public so that the public can get a better understanding as to why the State Police came up with that conclusion,” King said.

In a statement, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu weighs in saying, “Based on what I saw on the video tape, State Police did not handle the incident in the right way.” “Based on what I’ve seen, I believe it was wrong.”

"They are putting white supremacist [cops] in our neighborhoods to kill our kids": White Prosecutor Confused about whether to Indict NYPD Officers who Shot Black Teen in back 4 Times 

From [HERE] The mother of a Black teen gunned down by two Brooklyn police officers stepped out of a meeting with the district attorney, Charles Hynes (white man in photo below) Thursday to deliver harsh words for a department she believes is deeply racist.

Carol Gray, the mother of Kimani Gray, a 16 year-old of Guyanese and Jamaican descent who was shot to death by police in East Flatbush last month, argued the NYPD's treatment of communities of color is radically different than its practices in predominantly white neighborhoods.

"The community we come from, is like, these police officers, they're white supremacists," Gray told reporters outside district attorney Charles Hynes' Brooklyn office. "They have no value for black childrens' life. They don't know how they get along. They don't know how they get education. They don't know nothing about them. They are putting white supremacist [cops] in our neighborhoods to kill our kids." (see video below)

Gray said young people in her community are never addressed "like a real civilian" with "'Hello, how you doing?' or 'Can I speak to you for a minute?'" "No," she said. "It's never that."

Gray's son was shot late in the evening on March 9. Sgt. Mourad Mourad, 30, and Officer Jovaniel Cordova, 26, two plainclothes officers in an unmarked car, had spotted him with group of other young men gathered outside a home. According to the police department, Gray adjusted his waistband in a suspicious manner then broke away from the group as the officers approached. When the officers exited their vehicle, the police say Gray pointed a gun at them. He was shot seven times; three times in the front and four times in the back. A loaded .38 caliber pistol was found at the scene.

The police department's version of events has been called into question by members of the community. An eyewitnesses claims the Gray had nothing in his hands when he was shot, that the officers never identified themselves before opening fire and that they continued shooting as he lay on the ground. Several others have said Gray begged for mercy and help during the incident. The teen's death sparked a series of protests that on March 13 culminated in nearly 50 arrests, as scores of young people ran through the streets, some throwing bottles and bricks at police officers.

Undisclosed Settlement Reached in Suit Against White Orange County Cops who Shot Unarmed Black Marine to Death - had a Bible in his hand 

Orange County has agreed to settle a lawsuit over the death of an unarmed Black Marine who was shot to death by a white sheriff's deputy after crashing his SUV through a high school gate.

The Orange County Register says federal court documents filed Thursday indicate supervisors have agreed to offer a settlement deal to the family of Sgt. Manuel Loggins Jr. The documents don't indicate the amount of money involved. [MORE]. Loggins was a career Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton. In photo, white Orange County prosecutors at a press conference in September 2012, who said white police acted "reasonably and with sufficient force given the circumstances" and declined to bring criminal charges. More on the "justifiable homicide" of non-whites by cops [HERE

It was an early February morning when Loggins drove with his two young daughters to the high school for a workout on the track and bible study. Driving his Chevy SUV he crashed through the school fence. He exited the car while his two daughters remained inside. He then walked onto the athletic field. He returned within minutes and walked to his car.

When the deputy approached Loggins, he saw something in his hand he couldn’t make out. When Sandberg asked Loggins to put his hands up Loggins ignored him, and then tried to drive away. He shifted the vehicle into drive, whereupon the deputy fired three shots at him. The deputy stated he was in fear for the girls' lives, thinking Loggins would flee recklessly. His daughters 9 and 14, were in the backseat. They were not shot.  A toxicology report done on Loggins after his death found no drugs or alcohol in his system. That object that Loggins was holding in his hand turned out not to be a weapon. It was a bible.

His daughters were held (questioned) for approximately 13 hours - at which time their pregnant mother was refused admittance by white cops to comfort the children, who witnessed the killing [MORE].

Brian Dunn, the attorney for the Loggins family, said the evidence doesn't add up.  "Why did he draw a gun in the first place?" Dunn said of Sandberg's actions. "All you had was a man who disobeyed him." [MORE] In photo, face of white jesus found in bird poop on a car windshield in NE Ohio.[MORE]
