CBPP Study Says COVID has Exacerbated “Socialist Distancing" btw Whites and Non-Whites as Black/Latino Households Still Disproportionately Lack Sufficient Food and are Unable to Pay Rent/Daily Needs

From [HERE] While employment is rising and strains on household budgets have eased in recent months, the employment rate remains low and millions still report that their households did not get enough to eat or are not caught up on rent payments. We are able to track the extent of the nation’s progress against hardship thanks to nearly real-time data from several sources on the ongoing economic crisis.

Key hardship indicators show strong improvement since December, Census Bureau data show, aided by job growth and government benefits. Hardship rates fell especially fast after the enactment of the American Rescue Plan on March 11, which included $1,400 payments for most Americans as well as other assistance to struggling households. (See Figure 1.) Nonetheless, 20 million adults live in households that did not get enough to eat, 11.5 million adult renters are behind on rent, and some of the progress from late March appears to be waning.

The impacts of the pandemic and the economic fallout have been widespread, but remain particularly prevalent among Black adults, Latino adults,[1] and other people of color. These disproportionate impacts reflect harsh, long-standing inequities — often stemming from structural racism — in education, employment, housing, and health care that the current crisis has exacerbated. Households with children also continue to face especially high hardship rates. Considerable evidence suggests that reducing childhood hardship and poverty would yield improvements in education and health, higher productivity and earnings, less incarceration, and other lasting benefits to children and society.[2]

According to FUNKTIONARY:

Socialist distancing – the ever-expanding and increasing disparity between the haves and the have-nots until the Socialist (i.e., monopoly capitalist) Welfare State becomes the Farewell State—farewell to your rights, your family, friends and even your life through Plandemics (Coronavirus), $camdemics (Corporate State turned Surveillance and Nanny State), 5G bio-weaponized eugenics, starvation, vaccinations, civil unrest, genocide and other nefarious LWO (Last World Order) activities that will greatly reduce the world’s population by 2030. Before Social Distancing, we were experiencing the effects of “Socialist Distancing”...the ever-widening separation between the “haves” (holders) and the “have-nots” (held-back) due to “monopoly capitalism” (centralization of credit in the hands of the State) which by wide academic recognition is the core attribute of communism / socialism, in fact, it is the 5th plank of the Communist Manifesto. The litmus test to any political system is what is used as “money” and who controls (monopolizes) its “issuance.” Labels just don’t cut it. Think deeper...learn to access the underlying reality behind the truth veneer you’ve been conditioned to hold or have been told.

'The fact that Employers are Still Picky about Black Workers is Proof there is No Worker Shortage.' Contrary to GOP Propaganda to Terminate Unemployment Benefits, Businesses Keep Finding Workers

From [HERE] and [HERE] Businesses hired 850,000 workers in June, beating economists’ expectations and seemingly defying employer complaints that workers were shunning jobs in favor of unemployment benefits. 

The economy is still down nearly 7 million jobs compared to before the coronavirus pandemic, but employers are hiring at a pace of more than half a million per month, and it’s not just people returning from temporary layoffs like last year. 

“How long does it take to put out an ad, recruit a set of people, interview them, and then hire them?” William Spriggs, chief economist at the AFL-CIO, told HuffPost. “Eight hundred thousand is a lot of people to onboard in one month. We just don’t do that.”

The federal government has been adding $300 per week on top of state unemployment insurance, more than many low-wage workers received from their jobs. Republicans and businesses have said the additional money is holding the recovery back, and Republican governors have halted the benefits in their states.

But employment growth in the leisure and hospitality sector, which includes restaurants and generally pays low wages ― meaning that restaurant workers  have particularly benefited from the extra unemployment benefits ― has accounted for more of the job gains so far this year than any other single sector, including 40% of the June total. 

Restaurants have seen some of the fastest-rising wages, with hourly pay up 11.2% compared to last year, according to the Center for Economic and Policy Research.

“I think that today’s report blows a hole in the idea that there is a significant widespread labor shortage in the economy,” Valerie Wilson, an economist at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute, told HuffPost. 

Faster wage growth in the leisure and hospitality industry suggests better pay is a good way to get people back to work, Wilson said. But she noted that restaurant wages dropped during the pandemic recession and are still lower than in most industries.

“If [wages] are a little higher now, it’s just putting them back on pace with where they would have been,” Wilson said.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics, which produces the monthly jobs report, cautioned that its data for wages is a little messed up because of how last year’s shutdowns threw millions of people out of work all at once, skewing year-to-year comparisons. 

“The data for recent months suggest that the rising demand for labor associated with the recovery from the pandemic may have put upward pressure on wages,” the bureau said in its June employment situation report. “However, because average hourly earnings vary widely across industries, the large employment fluctuations since February 2020 complicate the analysis of recent trends in average hourly earnings.”

Despite the addition of nearly a million jobs, the June report found that the unemployment rate slightly increased from 5.8% to 5.9%. The rate is calculated from data based on a survey of households that is entirely separate from the survey of businesses used to estimate the number of jobs added. 

“The fact that employers are still picky about Black workers, to me, is the indication you don’t have a shortage.”William Spriggs, chief economist at the AFL-CIO

The household survey sample is smaller and is generally more volatile from month to month, but Spriggs said it holds a clue that the labor market is not as “tight” as some suspect. He noted that the report shows more Black workers entered the labor force in the past two months, but Black unemployment also increased from 9.1% to 9.2%. 

“The fact that employers are still picky about Black workers, to me, is the indication you don’t have a shortage,” he said. “You mean you can’t find the people you want, not that you can’t find people.”

Republicans pointed to the higher overall unemployment rate as an indication that they are right about the dangers of higher unemployment benefits. In a statement Friday, the Republican National Committee said, “Biden’s agenda is squandering the economy he inherited.”

Unemployment was at 6% when Biden took office in January, and the economy was 3.5% smaller than it was at the start of the pandemic.

Republican governors in 25 states announced in the spring that they would cut off federal unemployment benefits — including the additional $300 a week — by June or July, claiming the aid was preventing Americans from finding work. The June jobs report mostly covered a time period before the cuts had taken effect. 

Video Shows Miss Cop Slam a Black Woman Onto a Car. She Had the Audacity to Demand His Badge Number/Name and Should've Known to Never Address Cops as An Equal, esp When They Have Their Costume On

Larken Rose explains, “The reason that the belief in “authority” can drive people to commit evil, but in the end cannot limit the evil they commit, is simple. Aside from whatever “technical” limitations there are supposed to be on an agent of “authority,” the primary concept that the enforcer is taught, and the primary concept that he must accept in order to do his job, is that, as a representative of “authority,” he is above the common folk and has the moral right to forcibly control them. In short, he is taught that his badge and his position make him the rightful master of all the “average” people. Once he is convinced of that lie, it should be expected that he will despise the average citizen and treat him with contempt, in the same way – and for the same reason – that a slave owner will treat his slaves not as human beings, but as property, whose feelings and opinions matter no more than the feelings and opinions of the master’s cattle or his furniture. “

 From [HERE] Video of a Jackson police officer slamming a woman onto a car outside a club is sparking lots of questions and concerns about the use of force.

“It was too much force,” said Fareno Jackson, who recorded the video.

Jackson said the incident happened around 2 o’clock Saturday morning in the parking lot outside Vibe Sports Grill.

The Jackson resident said he was coming out of the nightspot when he saw a Jackson Police officer engaging with a woman on the scene.

“He comes around here with the lady with the braids; he tussles with her,” said Jackson.

The recording shows a male officer pushing the woman. The original video shows the cop hitting her as he sat on top of her.

Immediately after, Jackson said a female officer then jumped in trying to diffuse the situation.

“She instructed one of the officers to stand down, and he avoided her command,” Jackson recalled.

Jackson said the male officer then tried to grab the woman away from the female officer.

Not long after, the video shows the male officer slamming the woman into a nearby car.

“My first reaction was Oh my God, I can’t believe you just done that; please don’t do that, it doesn’t take that much,” said Jackson. “I didn’t understand why he threw her on the car because all she asked for was his badge number and his name.”

According to Jackson, the woman was also handcuffed and tased, but that was not shown on the video he recorded.

While he doesn’t know exactly what led to an altercation, Jackson said he believes JPD could have handled it more professionally. He also questions the use of force that was used.

“Instead of being an officer and being a cooler head, knowing his job and responsibility and walking away from the situation, just letting her (the female officer) handle it, he took matters into his own hands,” Jackson expressed. “I feel like he let his emotions get the best of him.”

Jackson also alleges the male officer hit him with a nightstick which led to him pulling out his phone to begin recording.

He said he now plans to file a lawsuit for excessive force.

“I think the officers need to be punished because if it doesn’t, they’ll be able to get away with it, and it’ll happen to somebody else,” said Jackson. “I don’t want it to happen to anybody else.”

Public Master LA Sheriff Says He "Won’t Enforce New Mask Mandate" the Way his Cops Brutally Enforced the COVID Curfew on Christopher Bailey, a Black Man/Essential Worker Struck 64X after Traffic Stop

From [HERE] Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is pushing back against a new requirement to wear masks in indoor public spaces regardless of vaccination status that is set to take effect Saturday night. The country’s most populous county is instituting the new mask mandate amid a surge in cases but Villanueva says the move contradicts guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Forcing the vaccinated and those who already contracted Covid-19 to wear masks indoors is not backed by science,” Villanueva wrote in a statement posted on his department’s website. Although Villanueva recognizes that the county’s Department of Public Health “has authority” to issue the order, “the underfunded/defunded Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will not expend our limited resources and instead ask for voluntary compliance.”

The mandate comes after weeks of public health officials urging people to wear masks indoors s the highly contagious Delta variant is making COVID-19 cases soar across the state. But it’s unclear whether people will be willing to put on masks again, particularly with Villanueva making it clear there will be little, if any enforcement. The L.A. County Department of Public Health could issue citations to businesses that don’t comply but a spokeswoman said “education and information sharing” would be the main strategy. “Our community will not be able to enforce our way out of this pandemic,” the spokeswoman, Natalie Jimenez, said.

Los Angeles County has been recording an average of more than 1,000 new COVID-19 cases each day over the past week. And on Friday there was another big jump with more than 1,900 new COVID-19 cases. Hospitalizations are also increasing although the vast majority of patients are unvaccinated. With the new mandate, “vaccinated people are being asked to make a sacrifice to help slow coronavirus spread among the unvaccinated,” notes the Los Angeles Times. Around 52 percent of L.A. County residents are fully vaccinated and around 60 percent have gotten at least one shot. L.A. County also isn’t alone in urging people to wear masks indoors.

LAST MONTH A VIDEO SURFACED OF EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE AFTER AT LEAST 8 LA COUNTY eight deputies brutally beat Christopher Bailey. IT shows Bailey being lifted into an ambulance, with someone heard saying "He doesn't even look human." ACCORDING TO A RECENTLY FILED LAWSUIT COPS PULLED HIM OVER last year during the covid curfew. AS AN ESSENTIAL WORKER he was on his way home from work, a private company that sorts mail for the U.S. Postal Service, COPS CLAIM HE STRADDLED THE LANE ON AN EMPTY ROAD AT 2AM. They say Bailey did everything he was asked to do, but the police report says he resisted arrest. [MORE]

"while LAID defenselessly on the ground He sustained 64 to 86 total body and face hits. He was pummeled in the face approximately 35 to 44 times," THE COMPLAINT STATES: The complaint states:

Shortly after pulling Mr. Bailey over, and without warning, Deputies Walker and Groves proceeded to violently drag Mr. Bailey, who was completely unarmed, out of his vehicle, and, without warning, proceeded to assault and batter Plaintiff by acts which included, but were not limited to, repeatedly and severely punching Plaintiff multiple times in his face, and thereafter employing unreasonable neck restraint procedures against Mr. Bailey, which included, but were not limited to, Deputy Groves' application of a choke hold against Plaintiff while Deputy Walker was in the process of punching him.

While Deputies Walker and Groves were in the process of beating Mr. Bailey they were soon joined by Deputies Luis Cano, Jackson Hill, Joshua Parga, and Matthew Seno, who, alongside Deputies Walker and Groves, proceeded to assault and batter Mr. Bailey continuously and in a protracted fashion over a period of several minutes, by acts which included, but were not limited to, repeatedly and continuously punching Mr. Bailey's face, abdomen, and upper back with closed fists, repeatedly kicking and inflicting knee strikes against Mr. Bailey while he lay defenseless on the ground, and repeatedly tasing Mr. Bailey, and repeatedly employing unreasonable restraint maneuvers against Mr. Bailey. Despite the fact that Mr. Bailey was immediately knocked to the ground, completely unarmed, and not striking, kicking, or assaulting any deputy in any manner, this protracted assault and battery inflicted by the simultaneous efforts of Deputies Kevin Walker, Shawn Groves, Luis Cano, Jackson Hill, Josua Parga, and Matthew Seno against Mr. Bailey lasted for a period of several minutes, during which time Mr. Bailey lay defenseless and on the ground, at times pleading for his life.

Throughout the entire course of the protracted beating described herein, Mr. Bailey remained completely unarmed, with nothing in hands, and nothing in his pockets. At no time during the course of these events did Mr. Bailey strike or attempt to inflict any injury against any deputy with any part of his body, or in any manner whatsoever. Almost immediately after being dragged out of his vehicle, Mr. Bailey lay defenseless on the ground, and remained passive and defenseless during the protracted and continuous beating described herein.

As a result of the severe and sustained beating inflicted by Defendant Deputies Kevin Walker, Shawn Groves, Luis Cano, Jackson Hill, Josua Parga, and Matthew Seno (hereinafter "Defendant Deputies"), Plaintiff Christopher Bailey (hereinafter "Plaintiff') suffered many serious physical injuries, including permanent and irreparable facial and eye injuries, permanent vision loss, and has been forced to undergo multiple facial reconstruction surgeries.[MORE]

Villanueva’s combative statement against the new mandate comes at a time when the sheriff who was elected by winning over liberal, progressive voters has taken a marked turn to the right. The Los Angeles Times detailed this shift in a recent profile:

Villanueva has appeared on Fox News to dismiss the notion of widespread police brutality, and in regular social media broadcasts, he has taken on a Trump-like demeanor, calling his critics trolls and out-of-touch elites. His news conferences have featured conservative politicians and personalities. He’s reveled in publicly rebuking local elected Democrats, including the mayor of Los Angeles, for what he sees as their inept handling of the city’s homelessness crisis, and he eagerly joined the campaign to kick the county’s ultra-progressive district attorney out of office.

And, in a move that is more NRA than ACLU, Villanueva has made it a mission to dramatically increase the number of people in Los Angeles County permitted to carry concealed guns.

It all has left the county’s Democratic Party machine, which helped put Villanueva in office, awash in feelings of betrayal and buyer’s remorse that culminated last month with a demand that the sheriff resign. And, as a reelection bid looms, Villanueva’s jag to the right has people puzzling over whether the maneuvers are part of a deliberate plan to win over a new base of voters or just the undisciplined scattershot of a man without a vision.

Not Having a Competent Attorney in a Death Penalty Case Not a Big Deal. GOP Justices [6-3] and their Token Nigratary Reinstate Alabama's Plan To Murder a Black Man Who May Be Intellectually Disabled

From [HERE] In a ruling rendered along partisan lines without benefit of oral argument, the United States Supreme Court has overturned the decision of a federal appeals court that had vacated the death sentence imposed on an Alabama death-row prisoner whose trial lawyers had failed to obtain expert assistance to present evidence of his intellectual disability. By a vote of 6-3, with all members of the conservative bloc of justices voting for the prosecution, the Court on July 2, 2021 summarily reversed the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit — one of the nation’s most conservative federal appeals courts — that had ordered a new sentencing for Matthew Reeves because of the ineffectiveness of his trial counsel in the penalty phase of his capital trial. 

The Eleventh Circuit had ruled that the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals had unreasonably denied Reeves’ ineffectiveness claim by inventing a per se requirement that a defendant must present testimony from his trial lawyers as a prerequisite to establishing that counsel’s performance had been deficient. No such requirement exists under the U.S. Supreme Court’s long-established Sixth Amendment jurisprudence on the effectiveness of counsel. Nonetheless, the Alabama court required that Reeves “must, at his evidentiary hearing, question trial counsel regarding his or her actions and reasoning.” Reeves’ failure to do so, the state court ruled, was “fatal” to his ineffectiveness claim.

In an unsigned opinion that itself criticized the unsigned nature of the Eleventh Circuit’s ruling, the Supreme Court majority said Alabama had not required Reeves to present testimony from his lawyers and deferred to the state court’s resolution of the issue. The circuit panel, the majority said, “reinterpreted the Alabama court’s lengthy opinion as imposing a simple per se prohibition on relief” if counsel did not testify and “went astray in its readiness to attribute error” to the state court.”

Dissenting, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justice Elena Kagan, said “[t]he lengths to which this Court goes to ensure that Reeves remains on death row are extraordinary.” She called the majority’s decision part of a “troubling trend in which this Court strains to reverse summarily any grants of relief to those facing execution.” The Court earlier, also along partisan lines and without hearing argument, lifted every injunction and stay of execution that courts had issued during the federal government’s spree of 13 executions in just over six months at the end of the Trump administration’s tenure in office.

Justice Stephen Breyer separately dissented, without opinion.

Reeves was convicted and sentenced to death in 1998 for the murder of Willie Johnson. He was 18 years old at the time of the crime. Prior to his trial, his court-appointed lawyers successfully sought funding for an evaluation by a neuropsychologist, Dr. John Goff, to determine if Reeves was intellectually disabled and therefore ineligible for the death penalty. After his lead counsel withdrew and was replaced, Reeves’ legal team never contacted Dr. Goff. Instead, on the day of Reeves’ penalty phase, they contacted a clinical psychologist who had evaluated Reeves for competence to stand trial but had not examined him for intellectual disability. She warned the attorneys that intellectual disability was not in the scope of her evaluation, but they asked her to testify anyway. She had conducted only a partial IQ test, which she testified “was not in a level that they would call him [intellectually disabled].” 

During Reeves’ postconviction appeal, Goff testified at a hearing that Reeves “has significantly subaverage intellectual functioning” and that he “has significant deficits in multiple areas of adaptive functioning.” Because those deficits appeared before age 18, Goff concluded that Reeves is intellectually disabled. Reeves’ trial lawyers did not testify at the hearing and the state court denied relief. On appeal to the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA), the state argued that the lower court had “properly presumed that [Reeves’ legal team] acted reasonably” because the lawyers had not been called to testify at the hearing. The CCA agreed with the state’s argument, writing, “‘[T]o overcome the strong presumption of effectiveness, a Rule 32 petitioner must, at his evidentiary hearing, question trial counsel regarding his or her actions and reasoning.’” The Eleventh Circuit reversed that decision, which it interpreted to “trea[t] Mr. Reeves’ failure to call his counsel to testify as a per se bar to relief—despite ample evidence in the record to overcome the presumption of adequate representation.”

The 6-justice majority of the Supreme Court overturned the Eleventh Circuit’s decision, writing that it had misinterpreted the CCA as applying a “blanket rule,” rather than giving Reeves’ case individual analysis. Justice Sotomayor strenuously disagreed. In her dissent, she explained, “If the state court had meant to weigh the evidence in the record, it would have. It did not. This Court is putting words in the state court’s mouth that the state court never uttered, and which are flatly inconsistent with what the state court did say.”

'Because We Said So' Not Good Enough for Everybody: Surgeon General Mad About Covid Misinformation but Fails to Dispel Claim that Vaccines Carry Substantially Serious Side Effects and May Cause Death

From [HERE] Joe Biden’s administration renewed its assault on social media companies allegedly spreading Covid-19 misinformation on Sunday, as new infections continued to surge across the entire US.

Vivek Murthy, the US surgeon general who has accused companies including Facebook of “poisoning information” about coronavirus vaccines, said they were not doing enough to check the online proliferation of false claims.

“The reality is that misinformation is still spreading like wildfire in our country aided and abetted by technology platforms,” he said on Fox News Sunday.

“I’m worried about what is to come because we are seeing increasing cases among the unvaccinated in particular. It’s so important people have the information they need about the vaccine … it is our fastest, most effective way out of this pandemic.” [MORE]

Last month a medical study that appeared on the National Library of Medicine website called "The Safety of COVID-19 Vaccinations — We Should Rethink the Policy" explained that the COVID vaccines are effective but carry significant risk of death and serious side effects. The doctors who authored the study, Harald Walach Rainer (Poznan University of the Medical Sciences, Pediatric Hospital in Poland ) J. Klement (Department of Radiation Oncology, Leopoldina Hospital, Germany) and Wouter Aukem (Independent Data and Pattern Scientist, Brinkenbergweg, The Netherlands), explain that ‘governments should rethink their vaccination policies in light of the deadly risks involved.’

The study was removed from the internet last week and replaced with a version that has “retracted” stamped across it. The original is posted here. The abstract states:

COVID-19 vaccines have had expedited reviews without sufficient safety data. We wanted to compare risks and benefits. Method: We calculated the number needed to vaccinate (NNTV) from a large Israeli field study to prevent one death. We accessed the Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) database of the European Medicines Agency and of the Dutch National Register (lareb.nl) to extract the number of cases reporting severe side effects and the number of cases with fatal side effects. Result: The NNTV is between 200–700 to prevent one case of COVID-19 for the mRNA vaccine marketed by Pfizer, while the NNTV to prevent one death is between 9000 and 50,000 (95% confidence interval), with 16,000 as a point estimate. The number of cases experiencing adverse reactions has been reported to be 700 per 100,000 vaccinations. Currently, we see 16 serious side effects per 100,000 vaccinations, and the number of fatal side effects is at 4.11/100,000 vaccinations. For three deaths prevented by vaccination we have to accept two inflicted by vaccination. Conclusions: This lack of clear benefit should cause governments to rethink their vaccination policy.

Covid Deaths in Africa Jumped 40% Last Week

From [HERE] Africa is now in the deadliest stage of its pandemic, and there is little prospect of relief in sight.

The Delta variant is sweeping across the continent. Namibia and Tunisia are reporting more deaths per capita than any other country. Hospitals across the continent are filling up, oxygen supplies and medical workers are stretched thin and recorded deaths jumped 40 percent last week alone.

But only about 1 percent of Africans have been fully vaccinated. And even the African Union’s modest goal of getting 20 percent of the population vaccinated by the end of 2021 seems out of reach.

Rich nations have bought up most doses long into the future, often far more than they could conceivably need. Hundreds of millions of shots from a global vaccine-sharing effort have failed to materialize.

Supplies to African countries are unlikely to increase much in the next few months, rendering the most effective tool against Covid, vaccines, of little use in the current wave. Instead, many countries are resorting to lockdowns and curfews.

Even a year from now, supplies may not be enough to meet demand from Africa’s 1.3 billion people unless richer countries share their stockpiles and rethink how the distribution system should work.

“The blame squarely lies with the rich countries,” said Dr. Githinji Gitahi, a commissioner with Africa Covid-19 Response, a continental task force. “A vaccine delayed is a vaccine denied.”

Unable to strike early deals for vaccines, African nations relied on Covax, a global partnership, to deliver free doses to countries that needed them.

But Covax deliveries ground to a halt after India imposed export restrictions on the AstraZeneca vaccine as it dealt with its own resurgence this year.

Indictment says Balt Cop Slammed a Black Teen Face-Down on Concrete, Grabbed Him by the Throat to Pull His Head Backward and Kicked Him in the Head While Cuffed. Threatened to Kill [Enslave] Him

THE DESTRUCTION OF FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. WHEN COPS PUT THEIR HANDS ON US OR INTERFERE WITH OUR FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, IT IS A FORM OF SLAVERY. Authority enslaves. In photo SGT Maxwell Dundore. Jeremy Locke explains, ‘What we consider as real “slavery” is indeed only one form of slavery. Because people are in control of portions of their lives, are they free? How much freedom does a person deserve? How much freedom can be destroyed before we recognize that it is evil?

Slavery is not a concept of totality. Slavery exists wherever the freedom of man is destroyed. Theft and bullying are slavery. In history, African natives, Jews and many others have experienced lifelong slavery. The ultimate slavery is murder. Slavery stops people from being able to make choices for their own lives.

Everything that restricts your mind, your movements and your speech is evil. Slavery is found in both the partial and complete destruction of freedom.’

‘I Will Choke You. I Will Kill You.’ From [HERE] Baltimore police officer Maxwell Dundore faces 10 years in prison after a grand jury indicted him for assaulting a 17-year-old in the 2800-block of Mayfield Avenue.

The incident happened in April of 2020 when the officer saw the teen getting out of a car that had been reported stolen.

The Baltimore City State’s Attorney said Officer Dundore slammed the teen face down on the concrete, wrapped his arm around his neck and told him, “I swear to god, I’ll choke you out if you don’t stop.” As the teen tried to escape, the officer held him under his chin, and the 17-year-old struggled to breathe. He told him “I will choke you. I will kill you.” Prosecutors said after the teen was restrained, Dundore kicked him in the head.

According to the criminal complaint:

On April 27, 2020, at approximately 09:00 hours, Officer Dundore responded to the 2800 block of Mayfield Avenue with another BPD member to investigate the report of a stolen automobile. That’s when Officer Dundore arrived at the Mayfield Avenue location, Mr. Bobby Adams, a 17 year old juvenile at the time, was exiting the driver’s door of the reported stolen automobile.

That when Mr. Adams attempted to flee on foot, Officer Dundore grabbed him at the rear of the reported stolen automobile and both fell to the ground. Mr. Adams got to his feet.

Officer Dundore then grabbed Mr. Adams around the waist, lifted him off the ground, and slammed him face-down onto the concrete. Officer Dundore landed on top of Mr. Adams’ back.

That after slamming Mr. Adams face-down onto the concrete, Officer Dundore wrapped his legs around Mr. Adams and wrapped his left arm around Mr. Adams’ neck. When Mr. Adams struggled to free himself, Officer Dundore increased the force of his hold and stated, “I swear to God, I’ll choke you out if you don’t stop” as another BPD officer attempted to secure Mr. Adams’ legs.

That after Officer Dundore threatened to choke Mr. Adams for his resistance, Mr. Adams began to kick toward the other BPD officer in an attempt to break free. Officer Dundore then held Mr. Adams under his chin near the throat, pulling Mr. Adams’ head backward with both hands.

That as Officer Dundore maintained his hold on Mr. Adams’ chin and throat area, Mr. Adams struggled for air. Officer Dundore then stated to Mr. Adams, “I will choke you. I will kill you,” before releasing his hands from Mr. Adams’ neck. By that time multiple officers had arrived and assisted in securing Mr. Adams in handcuffs as he laid on the ground.

That after releasing Mr. Adams’ head and neck area, and while Mr. Adams presented no threat to him because he was handcuffed, Officer Dundore pushed Mr. Adams on the right side of his face. Officer Dundore then stood up, stepped over Mr. Adams, and back-kicked him in the head.

That after kicking Mr. Adams in the head, Officer Dundore called Mr. Adams “stupid ass” and told him to “shut up” when Mr. Adams complained that Officer Dundore had kicked him in the face.

That when Mr. Adams continued to state that Officer Dundore had kicked him in the face, Officer Dundore stated, “Yep. Yep. Bobby, you’re mine today.”

That Officer Dundore spoke to another BPD officer on scene and stated, “I did slam him.”

That when Officer Dundore encountered Mr. Adams, Officer Dundore made harmful, offensive and unwanted contact with Mr. Adams, without legal justification, when he slammed Mr. Adams face-down onto the concrete, held his head and neck area with enough force to pull Mr. Adams’ head back, threatened to choke and kill him while holding his head and neck area, pushed Mr. Adams’ face, and kicked Mr. Adams’ head.

Several people in the community told WJZ Investigator Mike Hellgren that because of incidents like this, they no longer trust the police.

“There’s a lot of work that needs to be done,“ said Jeffery Fellows. “As a Black dad with Black kids, it’s frightening. A lot of times, I feel like police wake up on the wrong side of the bed. They bring their problems to work, and if they’ve got to subdue a person, they take their frustrations out on them.“

Aaron Bell, who lives on the block, told Hellgren, “They literally have no credibility with me. There’s no authority with them. They don’t carry themselves professionally, and they don’t treat people with the level of dignity and respect that they deserve. …Most of them walkthrough here and don’t know any of us.”

Uncontrollable Cops in Minneapolis Destroyed Case Files During 2020 Protests Including Exculpatory Evidence for Criminal Defendants

From [HERE] Andy Mannix reports in the Star Tribune: “As an unruly crowd besieged Minneapolis’ Third Precinct headquarters last summer, officers on the other side of the city destroyed a cache of documents, including inactive case files, search warrants and records of confidential informants. 

The uncontrollable cops claimed ‘If the Second Precinct fell, this sensitive information could wind up in the wrong hands, Johansson wrote. "The data contained in these files could put the lives of CIs or various other cooperating defendants at risk.

Public defender Elizabeth Karp says the officers acted without oversight and against policy when they destroyed critical evidence in the charges against her client, 36-year-old Walter Power. Power is charged with a felony for allegedly selling drugs. Police collected evidence against him based on search warrants that were destroyed by the officers and through cellphone data that has since been lost, according to Karp's motions that ask the judge to throw out the case.

Karp, who declined to comment beyond court documents, also asked Judge Todd Fellman to issue an order prohibiting police from "destroying or misplacing any more evidence related to this case."

"There is nothing to suggest the unrest that Minneapolis is experiencing will end any time soon," Karp wrote in court documents. "As such, this court must ensure the integrity of the judicial system remains intact and that all evidence used to build a criminal case ... is preserved."

Asked for comment Wednesday, Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder said the department is investigating. "We are conducting an internal investigation to understand what happened at the Second Precinct, how the decisions were made and whether there were broader issues with documents, records or files stored in our facilities during the riots," said Elder. "Any disciplinary decisions would be made through the normal process after an investigation."

Tara Niebeling, a spokeswoman for Mayor Jacob Frey's office, said he "strongly supports MPD's decision to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and is committed to full transparency throughout the process."

Fellman has set a hearing on the motions for July 27.

The rioters never came for the Second Precinct that week. In the days following Floyd's killing, most violence was concentrated on the Third Precinct — across the Mississippi River and more than 5 miles south of the Second Precinct — and the Lake Street area and Fifth Precinct.

Some who breached the Third Precinct did steal items from the building. Police arrested Branden Michael Wolfe on June 3, 2020, wearing a police vest, duty belt and carrying a tactical baton. Wolfe later was convicted of helping to set the fire in the building, sentenced to more than three years in federal prison and ordered to help pay $12 million in restitution.

In a private police report, Minneapolis officer Logan Johansson disclosed that he and other investigators in the Second Precinct to the northeast decided to destroy the documents shortly after May 28 ‘in direct response to the abandonment of the Third Police Precinct in Minneapolis by city leadership.’ … The decision to destroy the files is now at the center of a legal battle playing out in Hennepin County courts. Public defender Elizabeth Karp says the officers acted without oversight and against policy when they destroyed critical evidence in the charges against her client, 36-year-old Walter Power.”

Nikki Haley Blasts Secretary of State for Requesting UN Investigation of Racism in the US

From [HERE] Former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley slammed the Biden administration following Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s invitation to U.N. experts who investigate racism and so-called “minority” [non-white] issues to visit the U.S. 

During an interview with Fox News’ “The Story” Wednesday, racist suspect Haley called the move “flat-out insane” and said the organization should be focused on human rights abuses in China and elsewhere.

“You’ve got a million Muslim Uighurs that are being tortured. You’ve got people being bullied and beaten in the streets of Cuba. You’ve got Venezuelans that are arresting political protesters, all of which Biden chooses to sit with on the Human Rights Council. And the U.S. is asking the United Nations, a cesspool of political bias, to come into the United States and investigate us on human rights,” Haley said. 

“We look so ridiculous in the eyes of the world right now. I can't even imagine what the world is thinking. I can't imagine what those ambassadors at the U.N. are thinking,” she said. 

“This is dangerous, it’s incredibly dangerous,” she added. 

The criticism was prompted by Blinken’s announcement Tuesday that the U.S. extended an offer for an official visit to the U.N. Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism and the U.N. Special Rapporteur on minority issues. Invitations to other U.N. experts who “report and advise on thematic human rights issues” are imminent. 

Rapporteurs are independent experts appointed by the U.N. Human Rights Council. 

The invitation follows a recent report from the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Human Rights on racism and police brutality against people of African descent, which included cases in the U.S., such as the police killing of George Floyd. 

“Responsible nations must not shrink from scrutiny of their human rights record; rather, they should acknowledge it with the intent to improve,” Blinken said in a statement. 

“I urge all UN member states to join the United States in this effort, and confront the scourge of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia. Because when all people – regardless of their race or ethnicity – are free to live up to their full potential, our collective security is strengthened,” he said. 

Neuropean Tucker Carlson Propagendizes the “Replacement Theory" to Motivate Neuropeon Viewers to Practice Racism [the Racist's most basic fear is genetic annihilation or fear of a Non-White Planet]

Dr. Amos Wilson explained 'the GOP, a crude racial identity party that is nearly all white, is notorious for the strategy that requires the party to agitate latent emotional resentment and turn them into marketable political traits. It centers around projecting the idea that the White populace is threatened by over­whelming alien forces, particularly Black criminals, non-white immigrants and other non-whites demanding welfare and special entitlements, is not a strategy for governance. The party's method deliberately coaxes emotional responses from neuropeons — teases their anxieties over values they hold important in their own lives — but then walks away from the anger and proceeds to govern on its real agenda, defending the upper-class interest of wealth and corporate power. The Republican party is not a party of conservative ideology. It is a party of conservative clients. Wherever possible, the ideology will be invoked as justification for taking care of the client's needs. When the two are in conflict, the conservative principles are discarded and the clients are served.' [MORE]

From [HERE] When Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch replied in April to the firestorm caused by his star Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, passionately invoking the “great replacement” conspiracy theory favored by white nationalists, Murdoch chose to lie. 

“A full review of the guest interview indicates that Mr. Carlson decried and rejected replacement theory,” Murdoch wrote. This was obviously and insultingly false. Carlson had explicitly endorsed its core tenets during the April 8 segment, saying that “the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World.” [interesting that here “they are” obedient but later are criminals threatening white folks] White nationalists themselves knew better: They praised the Fox host for bringing their talking points to his massive audience.

His boss’ dishonest comment was a green light for Carlson to continue to promote that conspiracy theory -- and the host took it as such. Over the past two months, as Carlson became the face of Fox, “replacement” has proven a dominant theme of his program. It also spread to other Fox personalities and, increasingly, to Republican political operatives and politicians as well. Given Carlson’s sway over both his network and the GOP, that trend is likely to continue.

Here are eight examples of Carlson pushing the white nationalist “great replacement” theory in the two months since Murdoch claimed that he had actually repudiated it, most recently on Monday night. While Carlson is generally careful not to directly say that Democrats want white people replaced by nonwhite ones, his remarks -- referencing migrants from Congo, Haiti, and across the U.S.-Mexico border -- leave no one confused that that is what he is talking about.

June 7: “How did migrants get from Congo to Lewiston, Maine, and why?” Carlson asked about President Joe Biden’s immigration policy. “Well, because [Biden White House adviser] Susan Rice and ideologues like her very much want to change Maine's demographics as well as the population mix in every other state in the union.” He went on to accuse Democratic leaders of “importing huge numbers of new voters into the United States” because they “no longer believe in democracy as constituted, and they definitely don't plan to lose another election,” calling this “the most radical possible attack on the core premise of democracy.”

May 24: After the Biden administration extended temporary protected status preventing the removals of Haitian nationals residing in the U.S. who fled following a 2010 earthquake in that country, Carlson accused the Democrats of “trying to change the population of the United States, and they hate it when you say that because it's true, but that's exactly what they are doing.” During the segment, a chyron read, “Dems want to import millions of new voters.”

May 21: Responding to a guest who claimed that COVID-19 case counts were spiking in border states due to migrants spreading the virus, Carlson commented, “Public health doesn't apply when we're changing the demographic mix to favor the Democratic Party.”

April 30: Carlson accused Democrats of “an attack on our democracy” because “they only care about stacking the electorate.” He added: “They want to change who votes, so they win. They're diluting the votes of Americans, of all backgrounds, and that is an attack on democracy, period.”

April 29: Carlson described the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 as “an assault on democracy, a permanent one.” The law repealed the national origins quota system that “was designed to favor Western and Northern European countries and drastically limit admission of immigrants from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Southern and Eastern Europe,” according to the Migration Policy Institute. Carlson explained: “That law completely changed the composition of America's voter rolls, purely to benefit the Democratic Party.” (In fact, the bill passed by huge bipartisan margins, and Republican presidential nominees won five of the next six elections.)

April 21: After Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) responded to Rep. Scott Perry’s (R-PA) invocation of the “great replacement” theory by tweeting, “with every passing year, there will be more people who look like me in the US,” Carlson glossed Lieu’s remarks as follows: “In other words, you're being replaced, and there's nothing you can do about it. So, shut up.” 

April 15: Carlson claimed that Democrats “are changing everything, whether we like it or not,” including “a brand-new national population.” He called that a “revolution” reminiscent of how “Germany got Hitler.” 

April 12: The day after Murdoch sent his letter claiming that Carlson had actually repudiated “replacement” theory, Carlson said on his program that “the secret to the entire immigration debate” is that “demographic change is the key to the Democratic Party’s political ambitions. In order to win and maintain power, Democrats plan to change the population of the country.” He added, “All across the country, we have seen huge changes in election outcomes caused by demographic change.”

Over the same period, Carlson has also claimed that immigration “makes the country more volatile,” that migration across the U.S.-Mexico border should trigger “a real insurrection,” and that Democrats who supposedly support open borders “hate” America and are “trying to destroy it.” 

Incendiary, xenophobic rhetoric like Carlson’s can have dire consequences. Murdoch’s statement came in response to a letter from the Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt, who noted that the theory Carlson espoused on April 8 is linked to “explosive hate crimes, most notably the hate-motivated mass shooting attacks in Pittsburgh, Poway and El Paso, as well as in Christchurch, New Zealand.” 

Indeed, those terrorist attacks came after Carlson and others at Fox embraced the same theory in 2018 and 2019.

Liberals are naive or pretending to be. Dr. Blynd stated the caucasian’s “worst and most basic fear still remains genetic annihilation in the form of the fear of the impending "Black Planet." Said fear motivates racists to practice racism. Dr. Frances Cress Welsing explained that racism white supremacy is a behavioral system of survival whereby racists believe they must dominate Blacks and other non-whites through genocidal and genthanasiastic conduct in all areas of people activity. Racism is based on their perceived “survival” because racists fear their replacement by non-white people and fear losing control of them. When white and non-white persons intermix or have sexual relations that produce children their offspring necessarily will be non-white because whites are genetic recessive. In other words, whites can be “replaced” or "white can be genetically annihilated by non-white persons. As articulated Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, most white people consciously or subconsciously understand the following;

• White plus Black equals Colored.

• White plus Brown equals Colored.

• White plus Yellow equals Colored. [MORE] and [MORE]

In other words white people are genetic recessive and can literally be replaced by non-white people. While white populations have been consistently declining, Black and Brown populations are surging. In fact, according to the Census Bureau, whites remain the only segment of the U.S. population where deaths outpace births. Throughout the world, Caucasians are vastly outnumbered, 90% of the world is non-white. The declining white population is not a new or reversible trend - the decline has only quickened in recent years.

According to Welsing, ‘genetic annihilation is the fundamental motivation of racists, whether it is conscious and/or subconsciously determined. Said "fear of replacement" and/or fear of losing control over non-whites fuels the system of white supremacy/racism and causes racists to act genocidally towards non-whites in a perceived "survival game" they are engaged in with non-whites. Welsing’s color confrontation theory explained that the more the white population shrinks the worse its conduct toward non-whites will get. [MORE]

Deaths now outnumber births among white people in more than half the states in the country, demographers have found, signaling what could be a faster-than-expected transition to a future in which whites are no longer a majority of the American population.

The Census Bureau has projected that whites could drop below 50 percent of the population around 2045, a relatively slow-moving change that has been years in the making. But a new report this week found that whites are dying faster than they are being born now in 26 states, up from 17 just two years earlier, and demographers say that shift might come even sooner. [MORE]

She explained, that the global Racist Collective is simultaneously engaging in behaviors—in economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and more—in order for them to survive on the planet, by any means necessary. In addition, within each of these areas of activity racists have evolved myriad institutions, all of which further the goal of white supremacy. Another part of this unreal but deadly “game” is the fantastic myth of white genetic superiority. Welsing explains, “Acutely aware of their inferior genetic ability to produce skin color, whites built the elaborate myth of white genetic superiority. Elite racists set about the huge task of evolving a social, political and economic structure that would support the myth of the inferiority of Blacks and other non-whites. Welsing said, “if white people had not created such a global system in which they established power over the world's non-white majority, the white collective would have been genetically extinct a long time ago." [MORE]

Similarly, gullible Black reformers hoping that the changing demographics will translate into power gained through elections in a so-called representative democracy have misunderstood the illusion of democracy. US “democracy” is not based on the consent of the governed but the consent of the strongest party like all rulerships. The strongest party has little to do with numbers and more to do with the parties’ superior wealth, resources and their organized ability to act in concert. 90% of the world’s 7 billion people are non-white [9 out of 10 people are non-white. Clearly, white skin is an anomaly.] Whites have been the world’s minority for a long time – nevertheless, 'everywhere one finds Whites and Blacks in close proximity to each other, whether it is Ferguson, Mo. or Zimbabwe, the whites are in control. Yet Blacks rarely question this extraordinary universal phenomenon which defies every known statistical law of probability.' [MORE]

Thus, elite racists will remain in control after white people officially attain “minority status”. Dr. Blynd, explained Racism White Supremacy is a power group dynamic involving a master-servant relationship between whites and Blacks in a system of vast unequal power. It is economic discrimination by one group over and against another for the purposes of subjugation and/or maintaining the imbalance of power through cooperative control, misinformation, indoctrination, genocide and oppression. Racists also practice racism because they have the power to do so. As explained by Dr. Amos Wilson, 'to end racism/white supremacy we must end or neutralize white power.' [MORE] Such empowerment of Blacks and disempowerment of racists will not come through the ballot.

White Presumacy Grate Agin: Black Caucus Chair Gets the Niggaramole as Capitol Police Arrest Her During a Non-Honkey Kong Protest at the Capitol

From [HERE] In Washington, D.C., Capitol Police arrested at least nine people as they took part in a demonstration at a Senate office building in defense of voting rights, led by prominent Black women. One of those arrested was Ohio congressmember and chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Joyce Beatty.

Suit Says LVPD Cops Murdered a Black Man while Enforcing a Bicycle Light Law. Several Cops Crushed Byron Williams in a Prone Restraint. Said He Couldn't Breathe 24X. Cops Joked/Gave No Aid Afterwards

Larken Rose states: While most people probably imagine themselves to be “spectators” when it comes to authoritarian oppression and injustice, in truth nearly everyone is actually an advocate of “government” violence, in one form or another. This is because “law” is not about friendly suggestions, or polite requests. Every so-called “law” enacted by politicians is a command, backed by the threat of violence against those who do not obey. People perceive threats and coercion to be inherently legitimate when they are called “law enforcement.”

Everyone knows what happens if someone gets caught “breaking the law.” It may only be a “fine” (a demand for payment under threat of force), or it may be an “arrest” (forcibly taking someone captive), or it may even result in “law enforcers” killing someone who continues to resist. But every “law” is a threat, backed by the ability and willingness to use deadly force against those who disobey, and anyone who honestly considers the idea will recognize that fact. But the belief in “authority” leads to a strange contradiction in how people see the world. Almost everyone advocates that “law” be used to coerce others to do certain things, or to fund certain things. However, while advocating such violence, knowing full well the consequences to any who are caught disobeying, those same advocates fail to recognize that what they are advocating is violence.

From [HERE] It’s been nearly two years since Byron Williams, an unarmed Black man who was pursued by officers because of the absence of a bicycle light, died in police custody, murdered by police after uttering “I can’t breathe” more than 20 times. 

Williams’ family is still seeking answers and trying to find justice after Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson decided last year not to file charges against the officers involved in his death.

Standing beside prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump and local attorney Antonio Romanucci on Thursday, Williams’s family fought back tears as they called for transparency and announced a federal civil lawsuit was filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court of Nevada. 

The 44-page federal lawsuit names the City of Las Vegas, Clark County, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, and Sheriff Joe Lombardo as well as four officers, Patrick Campbell, Benjamin Vasquez, Alexander Gonzalez and Rocky Roman.

Attorneys say Metro has not released all the body camera footage from Williams’ arrest.

Crump said the fact there were changes brought against the officers is “fertile ground for inquiry.”  He added he would like “higher authorities” such as the Nevada Attorney General’s office and the U.S. Justice Department to investigate, but hasn’t formally asked those offices for intervention.

“This family is not going to give up on getting full accountability,” Crump said.

According to the complaint:

In the early morning hours of September 5, 2019, Williams, was riding

his bicycle near the vicinity of Bonanza Road, just West of Martin Luther King Boulevard, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At the time, at or around 5:48 a.m., as the sun was beginning to rise, there was little to no traffic on the roadways. At the time the officers saw him, Williams was not actively acting in an illegal fashion.

In the early morning of September 5, 2019, Defendant Officers PATRICK CAMPBELL and BENJAMIN VAZQUEZ of the LVMPD were on patrol in the area.

Defendant CAMPBELL was driving the patrol car and Defendant VAZQUEZ was in the front passenger seat of the patrol car.

At approximately 5:48 a.m., Defendants CAMPBELL and VAZQUEZ observed Mr. Williams riding his bicycle. At that time, Defendant Officers CAMPBELL and VAZQUEZ observed Williams was riding a bicycle without a light in front but with several reflectors on the front, back, wheels and seat.

At that time, upon information only of the absence of a light on a bicycle, with little to no traffic,

Defendant Officer Vasquez called out the window “Metro police, f***ing stop”. Defendant Officers did not immediately tell Williams he was under arrest.

At all relevant times hereto, Williams had no weapon on his person and posed no threat of harm to the officers or to the public. After calling out to Williams the Defendant Officers radioed a “Code Red” to fellow officers and began to pursue Williams in their police vehicle. A “Code Red” indicates that an emergency exists. Apparently, LVMP is alleging that the existing emergency that prompted the “Code Red” was Williams riding his bicycle without a light, despite the fact that it was already becoming light outside.

Williams rode his bicycle through a gas station parking lot.
At this time, Williams had not been informed he was under arrest.

The Defendant Officers flashed the vehicle’s patrol lights but did not fully turn on the lights to indicate Williams should stop.

At a high rate of speed, Defendant Officers continued to pursue BYRON LEE WILLIAMS in their vehicle as Williams rode his bicycle.

Defendant Officers rode through an open gas station lot at a high rate of speed. At this time, Defendant Officers were only aware of the alleged violation of the bicycle light ordinance for Williams.

Regardless, the Defendant Officers continued to pursue in their vehicle. At approximately 5:49 a.m., Williams got off of his bicycle and continued on foot.

At this time, Williams had not been informed that he was under arrest nor were the police lights fully activated on the Defendant Officers’ car.

Defendant Police Officers pursued Williams on foot, on suspicion of nothing more than a bicycle ordinance violation.

Defendant Police Officers pursued Williams on foot, despite the abandonment of the bicycle. Defendant Officer VASZQUEZ and CAMPBELL pursued Williams on foot over a wall into a condo complex for the bicycle ordinance violation.

At approximately 5:50 a.m., Defendant Officers VASQUEZ and CAMPBELL observed Williams go to the ground face first on his stomach.

The foot chase had covered about 270 yards and lasted no more than two minutes.

Williams lay down on the ground and completely surrendered. At all times, Williams did not threaten either of the officers. At all times, Williams had no weapon on his person. At all times, Williams posed no threat of harm to the officers or to the public.

Despite the compliance demonstrated by Williams and the absence of a threat, Defendant Officers CAMPBELL and VASQUEZ immediately utilized force techniques including empty-hand techniques, positional restraint, and knees to the shoulders, back and buttocks.

At or around 5:50 a.m., Defendant Officer CAMPBELL forcibly restrained Williams in a prone position, first placing his knee on Williams’ head as Defendant VASQUEZ caught up to him.

At or around 5:50 a.m., Defendant Officer CAMPBELL continued to forcibly restrain Williams in a prone position, moving his knee to his back, between his shoulder blades.

Mr. Williams yelled “Ow!” and “Why are you doing this? I didn’t do nothing” while Defendant Officers CAMPBELL and VASQUEZ forcibly pulled on Williams’ arms while attempting to handcuff him.

Defendant Officer CAMPBELL put his body weight on the back of Williams with his knee in his back, applying pressure on Mr. Williams’ lungs, ribs, and diaphragm, and obstructing his ability to breathe.

Immediately after Defendant Officer CAMPBELL placed his knee in the middle of Williams’ back, Mr. Williams stated, “I can’t breathe!”

At that time, despite the fact that Mr. Williams had already surrendered and had Defendant Officer CAMPBELL’s body weight bearing down on Mr. Williams’ back, Defendant Officer VAZQUEZ forcibly restrained Mr. Williams in a prone position, placing his knee on Williams’ buttocks and limiting Mr. Williams’ ability to adjust his body to breathe.

Defendant Officers ignored Mr. Williams’ clear signs of distress, including labored breathing and moaning, and put Williams in handcuffs.

Williams indicated repeatedly that he could not breathe. One of the Defendant Officers responded, “Yeah because you f***ing started running”.

One of the Defendant Officers responded, “it’s just a little pressure on your back”.

Another Defendant Officer stated, “Ain’t no help coming for you. Stop crying.”

Defendant Officers VASQUEZ and CAMPBELL kept sustained pressure through their knees on the back and buttocks of Williams for at least one minute, even after Mr. Williams’ hands had been cuffed behind his back.

Defendant Officers VASQUEZ and CAMPBELL kept Williams in the prone position, face down, for another full minute despite his repeated complaints that he could not breathe.

One of the Defendant Officers stated “Get up motherfucker” and Williams responded “I can’t breathe.” Williams could not get up.

Defendant Officer ROCKY ROMAN arrived and put his knee on BYRON LEE

WILLIAMS’ lower back, applying pressure on Mr. Williams’ lungs, ribs, and diaphragm, and obstructing his ability to breathe.

Williams stated he could not breathe.

Defendant Officer ROCKY ROMAN moved his knee to BYRON LEE

WILLIAMS’ buttocks, limiting his ability to adjust his body to breathe.

Additional Defendant Officers including S. Corey, P. Bruen, B. Holguin, and Defendant ALEXANDER GONZALEZ arrived on scene.

Despite Williams’ repeated statements to Defendant Officers that he could not breathe, Defendant Officers did not treat Mr. Williams’ inability to breathe as a medical emergency.

Additional officers arrived and did not provide medical assistance or contact an ambulance for Williams.

At 5:51 a.m., officers radioed that Williams was in custody and generated a “Code 4”, meaning “an emergency no longer exists”.

Additional officers arrived and the officers started giving each other high fives.

Williams collapsed and was clearly unconscious and missing

one shoe. Williams informed Defendant Officers approximately 24 times that he could not breathe before he lost consciousness.

Defendant Officers, including Officers ROCKY ROMAN and ALEXANDER GONZALEZ, dragged Williams up with their hands under his arms without supporting his legs or allowing him to put his feet on the ground.

Defendant Officer Gonzalez barked at Mr. Williams, “If you don’t stand up, we’re gonna drag you”.

Williams’ body was limp at this time.

One of the Defendant Officers stated that Williams has “incarceritis” or faking a medical ailment to avoid jail.

The Defendant Officers’ body camera footage captures several officers joking about the pursuit, laughing, and congratulating each other while Williams struggles to breathe and eventually stops breathing altogether.

At or around 5:52 a.m., Defendant Officers proceeded to drag Williams around with his head hanging onto his chest limply and his feet dragging on the ground, again without calling an ambulance.

Williams was not moving or making sounds at this time and appeared to be unconscious, at best.

Defendant Officers GONZALEZ and ROMAN dragged Williams’ around the corner of the nearby apartment building with his feet dragging and head hanging limp.

At 5:52 a.m., Defendant Officer CAMPBELL broadcast on the police radio system that there had been a “negative use of force by officers”.

At or around 5:53 a.m., Defendant Officers GONZALEZ and ROMAN put Williams back in the prone position, face-down on the pavement despite having gone completely limp.

Defendant Officers did not check for Mr. Williams’ vital signs or place him on his side in a recovery position that would have made it easier for Mr. Williams to breathe.

Defendant Officers stated “is he dead or something? .... still going to jail”.

At or around 5:54 a.m., Officer Corey called an ambulance and requested medical care. It was the first such request.

It was only after Officer Corey made the first call for an ambulance that Defendant Officers finally placed Williams in a recovery position for the first time at or around 5:55 a.m. Defendant Officers then just stood around Williams, who was not moving or making a sound.

Defendant Officers did not start resuscitation efforts started and did not provide any other aid to Mr. Williams.

An officer said that Williams still had a radial pulse in his wrist.

Defendant Officer ROMAN had his knee and/or shin against the chest of BYRON

LEE WILLIAMS to hold him on his side and stated “Yeah he’s still breathing, I can feel it on my shin.”

Defendant Officer ROMAN later described that Williams’ breath as it “wasn’t like regular breathing like normal human beings” but still did not attempt to administer aid to Mr. Williams.

Defendant Officer GONZALEZ then, for the first time, checked the neck of Williams for a carotid pulse and to see if he was breathing.

Officers described Williams’ pulse as “erratic and weird” to a supervisor. Defendant Officer GONZALEZ stated “is he breathing?” and shined a light into the eyes of Williams, and Mr. Williams did not blink or respond in any way.

Defendant Officer GONZALEZ asked if Williams was “faking a medical episode” or “playing dead or somethin’”.

Eventually, Defendant Officer GONZALEZ noticed that Williams was not breathing was unresponsive, and appeared to be unconscious, at best.

But the officers simply continued to stand near Williams and not administer any aid. At that time, Defendant Officers failed to notify and/or update dispatch and paramedics or radio that Williams was unresponsive.

At or around 6:02 a.m., paramedics were updated on the location of Williams within the apartment complex.

At or around 6:05 a.m., paramedics arrived at the condo complex and had to look on foot to locate Williams.

On multiple occasions during the incident, all Defendant Officers chose to turn off their body-worn cameras, which is against the policy of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. From 5:58 a.m.- 6:09 a.m., approximately 10 minutes and 28 seconds of body camera footage of the incident are missing, between the time that officers checked if Williams was breathing and the arrival of paramedics.

At no time before paramedics arrived, did Defendant Officers provide first aid, resuscitation efforts, or CPR.

At or around 6:09 a.m., Defendant Officers’ body cameras were turned back on. At or around 6:09 a.m., paramedics are visible checking his person and vitals.

At or around 6:09 a.m., at the request of the paramedics, Defendant Officer GONZALEZ began the first attempt to resuscitate Mr. Williams.

At or around 6:09 a.m., paramedics finally are able to begin providing medical aid to Williams.

As the paramedics are trying to revive Williams, Defendant Officer ROMAN, while bringing another officer up to speed, points at the ambulance and says, “he’s possibly dead now,” and laughs.

Williams became pulseless on scene as Defendant Officers looked on and laughed because they had called an ambulance too late to resuscitate Mr. Williams. 161. On September 5, 2019, at 6:41 a.m., Williams was pronounced dead at Valley Hospital.  

On the video that Metro has released, Williams can be seen placed face down with his hands cuffed behind his back, and can be heard repeating over and over again, “I can’t breathe.” In the video cops put pressure on Byron Williams head, neck, shoulder blades and buttocks. 

“Because you’re fucking tired from running,” one officer responded. 

Crump said in some ways the circumstances of Williams’s death “might be worse than George Floyd,” because officers were joking about the situation. 

“We saw similar indifference and inhumanity here in the state of Nevada and the City of Las Vegas when Byron Williams was detained by police and said ‘I can’t breathe’ 24 times,” Crump said. “Like they gave George Floyd no consideration and no humanity, they gave the same exact thing to Byron Williams … A lie won’t live forever and we’re going to expose this lie. Byron Williams should not have been killed by the police for riding a bicycle while Black.” 

Williams was pronounced dead less than an hour after his arrest. His death was ruled a homicide a month later by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.

1 HOU Cop Charged w/Felony for Beating a Black Man w/Steel Handcuffs. Other Cops (not charged) Slammed Him Into the Pavement and Pulled His Pants Down Exposing His Buttocks/Genitals in Public View

THE UNDECEIVER JEREMY LOCKE EXPLAINS, “Slavery is not a concept of totality. Slavery exists wherever the freedom of man is destroyed. Theft and bullying are slavery. In history, African natives, Jews and many others have experienced lifelong slavery. The ultimate slavery is murder. Slavery stops people from being able to make choices for their own lives. Everything that restricts your mind, your movements and your speech is evil. Slavery is found in both the partial and complete destruction of freedom.

From [HERE] and [HERE] When Aundre Howard, a Black man, fled from Houston police during a traffic stop in 2019, one of the officers was caught on body camera footage telling his partner to “shoot his ass” as they pursued. When that officer finally caught up to Howard, he used a pair of handcuffs wrapped around his left hand like a pair of brass knuckles to repeatedly punch the fleeing man in the back of the head.

Now, the former police officer has been indicted.

Lucas Vieira, 31, a four-year-veteran with the Houston Police Department, was indicted by a Harris County District Court grand jury on July 9. Two days later, the Houston Police Department announced that it had fired Vieira months ago, in April. If convicted, he faces up to 99 years in prison as well as a $10,000 fine.

"What this does is, it sends a message to the Houston Police Department that excessive force will not be tolerated. The DA will prosecute police misconduct and the days of using excessive force, hopefully, are over, " Attorney Randall Kallinen, who is representing Howard, told Oxygen.com on Wednesday. 

The indictment also comes just over three months after Howard, 34, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit accusing Vieira of unjustly striking him and of violating his right to unjust search and due process. The suit says Vieria violated Howard’s Fourth and 14th Amendment rights, assault and battery, failure to intervene, and mental anguish.

“Mr. Howard suffered great pain, contusions, humiliation, anxiety, fear, loss of sleep, headaches, and other mental anguish as a result of the defendant’s actions,” according to the lawsuit, which was provided to VICE News by Howard’s attorney, Randall Kallinen. 

On Sunday, the Houston Police Department tweeted a statement indicating that Vieria had been placed on indefinite suspension on April 16 by the department’s new chief, Troy Finner. A spokesman for the department said that he is “no longer an HPD employee” but is appealing the decision, NBC News reported.

The encounter with police occurred July 7, 2019, when Vieira initiated a stop on Howard’s vehicle for expired registration. According to Vieira’s attorney James Siscoe, police noticed marijuana on Howard’s center console when they first approached the car during the traffic stop, prompting a search. Police placed Howard in handcuffs, but they found nothing. As Officer Serrano began to put on rubber gloves for a cavity search, Howard began to run from police toward a nearby freeway, according to the lawsuit.

While the brief chase ensued Officer Vieira shouted for Officer Serrano to shoot Mr. Howard twice with Mr. Howard’s back to him and even shouted “BOP BOP BOP BOP.” Officer Vieira used many expletives. This terrified Mr. Howard so greatly, he defecated.

The chase only lasted one city block before Vieria caught up with Howard. The officer then allegedly used his handcuffs as “brass knuckles” and bashed Howard in the back of the head at least three times. Ofc Serrano saw this obvious excessive force and did nothing. Howard, who says he fled in fear of his life, can be heard telling officers “alright, you got it!” as Vieira throws the punches, according to body camera footage.

According to the complaint:

While walking back to the squad car Officer Vieira pokes Mr. Howard in the head for no legal reason. While walking back to the squad car Officer Vieira with Officer Serrano and the other force Mr. Howard’s head down for no legal reason.

When the HPD officers get back to the squad car they slam Mr. Howard on the squad car and pull downs his pants and shorts revealing Mr. Howard’s buttocks, genitals and feces, all the while using pain techniques without valid reason. The HPD officers then force Mr. Howard to the pavement and cause contusions to his face.

With Mr. Howard on the pavement and pants down with buttocks and feces and genitals showing in public view HPD officer Nadeem Aslam (Officer Aslam) arrives and searches Mr. Howard’s car. During Officer Aslam’s arrival and search of the vehicle Mr. Howard is in full view of Mr. Howard. Officer Aslam does nothing by words or action to stop the illegal search of Mr. Howard does not report any violations of HPD policy as is required by HPD policy.

With Mr. Howard still on the pavement and pants down another HPD officer, who Officer Vieira calls “boss,’ arrives and observes Mr. Howard in the publicly visible area with his buttocks and genitals exposed. This officer does nothing by words or actions to prevent this humiliation nor does he report any officer for illegal search or other HPD violations.

HPD Sgt. Earl Attebury arrives and Officer Vieira admits to Sgt. Attebury, with Officer Serrano present, that while handcuffed he used his handcuffs to hit Mr. Howard in the back of his head. Officer Vieira also admits to Sgt. Attebury about the threat to shoot Mr. Howard. Sgt. Attebury sees Mr. Howard in the publicly visible area with his buttocks, feces and genitals exposed and does nothing by words or actions to prevent this humiliation. Sgt. Attebury does not report any HPD officer for illegal search, excessive force or other HPD violations.

There are other HPD officers present, as observed on the body camera videos, who witness Mr. Howard on the ground with his buttocks and genitals publicly exposed who do nothing about it. No HPD officer referenced above reports any other for any policy violation of the Houston Police Department.

The lawsuit also alleges that the officers pushed his arms over his head from behind as a pain technique as he lay there handcuffed and defenseless

Siscoe says his client only hit Howard in the shoulder and that only one of the hits managed to strike the man in the head. He also says that Serrano found 18 grams of cocaine immediately next to where officers caught up with Howard.

Howard was initially charged with felony evading arrest and possession of cocaine, but those charges were dropped, according to Houston Public Media. No weapons were found in his vehicle, according to the suit.

Suit filed after White DE Cops Mistakenly Held a Black Woman @ Gunpoint and Niggerized Her [Subjected to Random Violence and so scared that you Defer to Authority and Consent to your own domination]

 From [HERE] A Black woman is suing Delaware State Police over allegations of white officers using excessive force when they wrongly held her at gunpoint.

The victim is a young woman who says it’s been over two weeks since she was stopped by the Delaware State Police. Her window is still busted and she says she no longer feels safe driving alone.

Only 20 years old, Martiayana Watson is emotional, but she’s pressing for answers.

“No one could tell what’s going on, why I had been stopped, why have they ran into me, damaged my car, anything,” Watson said.

On June 24, around 530 p.m., Watson says she was leaving the BP gas station on South Heald Street in Wilmington.

Shortly after, several unmarked cars, which she later found out were police officers, blocked her in, allegedly pulled her out of her car and within minutes, she feared for her life.

“Them actually putting a taser to my neck after realizing they still had the wrong person,” Watson said.

She says it didn’t stop there. Watson says an officer shattered her back window.

“I seen these four trucks, five trucks, white guys — it’s strange to see a bunch of white guys in a Black community — following her,” said Richard Smith with the NAACP.

Little did Watson know, Smith was watching. “It wasn’t the concept of the car, it was the mental abuse that Black people take every day,” Smith said.

On Thursday, Watson’s attorneys announced they are filing a lawsuit against the Delaware State Police for mistaken identity. According to court filings, police were looking for suspects who robbed a nearby pawnshop.

“The cops were looking for a dark grey Nissan Maxima and I believe Marty’s vehicle is a light grey Nissan Altima,” attorney Renee Leverette said.

Watson’s attorneys say the police said they were not wearing body cameras.

“I did nothing to no one at all and it’s just a shame I had to go through this,” Watson said.

It Would've Been a Crime if Black Cops Bit Into a White Man's Neck but White Prosecutor says It Wasn't a Crime When White Cops Intentionally Allowed a Police Dog to Maul Black Man's Neck for 30 Secs

From [HERE] Lafayette police officers Joshua Saxton, Nicholas Klimek and Victor Sikorski will not face charges for the May 9, 2020, K9 mauling that left Richard Bailey Jr. in a coma for 6 days at an Indianapolis hospital.

Mary Hutchison was appointed special prosecutor in June 2020 to investigate if the mauling was excessive force by K9 Officer Saxton as Klimek and Sikorski stood by and watched. 

Hutchison filed a report June 1 recommending that charges not be filed, but Hutchison was no longer a prosecutor, according to arguments presented during a June 24 hearing on the report. 

Since Hutchison was no longer a prosecutor for the state of Indiana, she could not serve in the role of special prosecutor, according to arguments filed in June.

Tippecanoe Circuit Judge Sean Persin agreed in his ruling and appointed David Thomas, a senior prosecuting attorney [racist suspect in photo] from St. Mary of the Woods, Indiana.

On July 7, Thomas filed notice with the court that he did not intend to pursue charges against the officers.

The state police investigate stemmed from the May 9, 2020, arrest of Bailey, who is seen on police body camera video refusing to get off of his moped as requested by officers.

At the time, Bailey was a suspect in a battery reported in the 3600 block of Brampton Drive. However, it is not clear whether the cops had a 4th Amendment basis to arrest him because they did not see him commit any crimes.

When Officer Saxton arrived at the scene, Bailey is heard on the video loudly asking, “What probable cause do you have, sir?”

“He’s a suspect in a battery,” Saxton said, according to his body cam. “If he’s going to act like that, he can be detained.”

Saxton said, “Hey. There’s a dog in that car. If you fight, you’re going to get dog bit.”

Officers then pry Bailey’s hands from the scooter’s handlebars and throw him to the ground. Saxton the hits a remote door opener, and his police dog runs to them, latches on the Bailey's neck and mauls him for 30 seconds, according to the body camera video.

Before Bailey could even react, police released the dog who went straight for the man’s neck.

“Here! Here! Here!” Saxton called to his dog. “Right here!”

The dog latched on and tore into Bailey’s neck for over 30 seconds — easily enough time to kill the man. Bailey tried to stop the dog from tearing apart his neck, but he was unsuccessful.

“Stop moving!” the officer yells at a man whose neck is being shredded by the K-9. As the dog viciously mauls his neck the white cop has the audacity to order “put your hands behind your back.” When the Black man stops moving the white cop grabs the dog to stop him from biting. He says, “good job.”

During that mauling, Saxton's dog punctured Bailey's trachea, cut his carotid artery, damaged Bailey's tissue in his neck, injured Bailey's shoulder and broke his finger, according to medical records provided last year to the Journal & Courier.

“I wasn’t fighting the dog,” Bailey insisted. “All I did was reach up and grabbed the dog’s mouth ‘cause he’s on my throat. That was the natural reaction. I’m not fighting the dog or trying to hurt the dog. The dog’s hurting me.”

That’s about all Bailey remembers. He would wake up six days later after slipping into a coma with a tube in his throat.

Bailey recorded what the doctor told him during a follow up and the description is chilling to say the least.

“The dog, when he bit you, lacerated your windpipe, … and it had hit the main artery that goes to your brain on this side (left). And that’s completely blocked off,” the doctor said on the recording.

“You had a tear in your trachea,” the doctor said. “What I did, I fixed where they put the tube in so you could breathe. Then we put this in through the injury site.

“Then the rest was just muscle and other tissue that had been torn apart, and we put that back together again.”

“They must have been trying to kill Richard Bailey that night, they must have been,” said one of his lawyers, Fatima Johnson. “If a dog bites your neck, its obvious what’s going to happen.”

Bailey's attorneys called the use of the dog, which mauled Bailey's neck for 30 seconds, “extraordinarily violent” and said the three white officers used excessive force because Bailey is Black, according to the Journal & Courier. They said the 46-year-old Bailey spent days in a medically-induced coma after the attack and could have died.

“The force was just extraordinarily violent,” another of Bailey’s attorneys, Swaray Conteh, said in an exclusive interview with the Journal & Courier. “They didn’t have to do that. Two of them could have placed him in handcuffs and took him wherever they wanted to. They didn’t need the assistance of a K9.”

In the wake of the Journal & Courier breaking the news about the attack, including the first to publish the body camera video, Lafayette Police Chief Patrick Flannelly [also white] released a video explaining the police department's stance.

In March, Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings was appointed by Persin to investigate whether charges should be filed against Bailey.

On June 3, Cummings filed 11 charges against Bailey. They are: criminal confinement, battery with a deadly weapon, battery with moderate injury, strangulation, intimidation, resisting law enforcement, interfering with reporting a crime, criminal mischief, public intoxication and two counts of battery.

Bailey, 47, 2825-B Dorssett Drive, Lafayette, posted bond June 22 and was released from the Tippecanoe County Jail, according to jail records.

NYPD Fails to Block Eric Garner Probe: No Indictment by an All White Grand Jury, No Substantial Investigation, Only Person Arrested was a Latino Man who Filmed Cops Murder Black Man in Broad Daylight

From [HERE] New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York Police Department (NYPD) have lost their appeal attempting to block an inquiry into the circumstances around the fatal arrest of Eric Garner.

In Thursday's ruling, the appeals court upheld the decision from a lower court that allowed Garner's family and others to use a provision of the City Charter to investigate violation or neglect of duty.

"We find that this is the rare case in which allegations of significant violations of duty, coupled with a serious lack of substantial investigation and public explanation, warrant a summary inquiry to bring transparency to a matter of profound public importance: the death of an unarmed civilian during the course of an arrest," the decision read. "Accordingly, we unanimously affirm the order granting the petition."

The petition to open a judicial investigation was brought forward by eight New York City taxpayers, including Garner's mother, Gwen Carr; his sister, Elisha Flagg Garner and Constance Malcolm, mother of Ramarley Graham, who was killed by NYPD officers in 2012.

Garner was killed on July 17, 2014 after NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo put Garner into a prohibited chokehold while arresting him. [stop. Lets clear the air on a few things about the dependent media Eric Garner coverage:

It was Never About One Cop. It was a Gang of White Cops. "Have you ever see one lone white man lynch one lone Black man? Have you ever seen it done without a gun?" [MORE] Eric Garner was killed by a gang of cops who smothered and pounced on him as a white cop placed him in a choke hold. But only one white cop was charged by white prosecutors. If a Black man put a white man in chokehold in front of white witnesses and a group of like 7 other Blacks pounced on him then.... [they would all be on death row]. 

Grand Jury was All White in the Blackest City in the Country. No cops were indicted by an all white grand jury. [MORE] Yes an all-white grand jury in NYC, a city with the largest number of Blacks in the country. White prosecutors had over 2 million Blacks to choose from and chose none!] Orta said, “when I went to the grand jury to speak on my behalf, nobody in the grand jury was even paying attention to what I had to say,” Orta said. “People were on their phones, people were talking. I feel like they didn't give (Garner) a fair grand jury." A white man he described as a prosecutor “wasn’t even asking no questions about the police officer, he was asking all the questions towards Eric,” Orta said. “What was Eric doing there? Why was Eric there?” "It was all-white." [MORE] The white jurors were presented with 28 eyewitnesses and had every camera angle - jurors saw the Youtube video, NYPD video, store video and City street camera video. If you believe that racist suspects are concerned with whether 'Black lives matter' then you want to be deceived. [MORE]

NYC is also the mecca for democrats and liberals. What are they doing for you if 1) uncontrollable cops can kill you in broad daylight and 2) never be held accountable? The only person arrested after Garner’s murder was Orta! Ramsey was targeted and arrested by NYPD officers on trumped up gun charges and only a few months later was also indicted on multiple drug charges. It didn’t stop there. Ramsey Orta was arrested multiple times after Garner's 2014 death. He was accused in 2014 of stuffing a gun into a 17-year-old girl's pants — a charge he has called "ridiculous" — and accused in 2014 and 2015 of selling drugs to undercover officers, DNAinfo reported.

"There's no chance I'm dumb enough to give a girl a gun out in the open like that," Orta told The Verge. "The cops had been following me every day since Eric died, shining lights in my house every night. You think I'm walking around with a stolen gun that now they say wasn't even loaded?"] [MORE]

Garner was heard repeatedly telling officers that he could not breathe while being held face down on the sidewalk. He later lost consciousness and was pronounced dead at an area hospital an hour later.

Video footage of the incident gained national attention and sparked calls for police reform.

An investigation was approved by the lower court in four areas: the circumstances around Garner's arrest and death, the official paperwork of his arrest and death, how Garner's sealed arrest history and medical records were leaked to the media shortly after his death and the lack of medical care he received while lay on the sidewalk waiting for an ambulance.

DeBlasio and the NYPD had argued that the disciplinary trial of Pantaleo had already constituted a thorough investigation of the incident, but the court said there were other troubling aspects including "false filings and statements made in connection with the incident" that had not yet been investigated.

In December 2015, a grand jury decided not to indict Pantaleo—a decision that sparked public protests against police brutality. During a disciplinary hearing over the summer of 2019, an administrative judge recommended that the officer be terminated from the force.

More than five years after Garner's death, Pantaleo was fired on Aug. 19, 2019.

DeBlasio and the NYPD argued that Section 1109, the lesser-known provision, was not meant to investigate the conduct of low-level officers, but the court ruled that the broad language of the clause means that it applies to violation or neglect of duty by low-level officers as well.

Section 1109 applies to "any alleged violation or neglect of duty in relation to the property, government or affairs of the city."

The appeals court said that the impact Garner's death had on the topic of the use of force by police would allow for the judicial inquiry to move forward.

"His repeated last words – 'I can't breathe; – have become a rallying cry against excessive force by police," the ruling read. "Viewed in this context, the issues raised in the arrest and death of Garner and its aftermath are of the greatest significance."
