NY Cop Assaults and Detains 8 yr Old for Alleged Stolen Potato Chips. Media Focuses on the Chips to Minimize Said Niggerization Episode and Avoid Whether So-Called 4th Amendment Rights Were Violated

/

A Nigger is a Non-White Person who is Subject to White Supremacy

According to FUNKTIONARY:

Niggerized – “unsafe, unprotected, subjected and subjugated to random violence, hated for who you are to the point you become so scared that you defer to the powers that be while willing to consent to your own domination.” ~Dr. Cornel West.

From [HERE] Syracuse police are under fire over a viral video that captured three white cops taking an 8-year-old black boy to a patrol car after they received a report that he allegedly stole a bag of chips from a convenience store.

The footage shot by Kenneth Jackson and widely shared on social media shows the crying boy being detained by the officers on Sunday,  the Post-Standard reported.

“What is y’all doing?” the bystander asks an officer holding the little boy by the arms. 

“Guess. Take a guess what I’m doing,” the cop replies, but Jackson continues to question them.

“He looks like a baby to me. I don’t know what you’re doing. So what’s going on, then?” Jackson says.

Another officer tells him the boy “was stealing stuff.”

“Nah, man, so he’s stealing a bag of chips, you’re treating him like an old cold—– killer?” Jackson says, swearing at the officers as they put the child in the car.

“If he stole some chips, I’ll pay for them! I’ll pay for them! Leave him alone! He’s a kid!” he shouts.

The boy’s father, Anthony Weah, told the Post-Standard that police went to his home after the incident and told him his three boys were accused of stealing the chips.

Weah said the cops were friendly and didn’t press charges — but he was shocked when he saw the video on social media later.

“Why would the police treat that child like that? Over a $3 bag of chips,” Weah told the news outlet, adding that he wants to file a complaint against the police.  

“He got snatched off that bike. The bike hit the ground and chips went everywhere,” he said. “It was just beyond me that they were actually treating this baby like this.”

Jackson added: “There’s other ways to rectify this besides scare tactics. Now that’s just another youth that’s scarred by the system.”

Court Delays South Carolina's Plan to Murder Richard Moore by Firing Squad. Black Man Argued that Being Forced to Choose btw the Electric Chair or Getting Shot to Death is Cruel and Unusual Punishment

/

From [HERE] South Carolina’s plans to execute Richard Moore by firing squad on April 29 were temporarily stayed by the state supreme court today.

No one has been executed in South Carolina since 2011, and the state has not used a firing squad to kill a condemned person in the modern death penalty era.

Forced to “Choose” Between Electrocution and Being Shot to Death

The method is extremely rare. Since 1976, only three other people have been executed by firing squad—all three in Utah.

Last year, South Carolina joined Mississippi and Oklahoma when it passed a new law authorizing executions by firing squad in an effort to restart executions in the state.

Richard Moore is the first person subject to execution under the new law, which makes electrocution in South Carolina’s 110-year-old electric chair the default method of execution.

The law provides that, if the department of corrections determines that lethal injection is not available, the person will be electrocuted unless they elect death by firing squad. The person is required to make that election in writing 14 days before the execution date.

Because South Carolina’s DOC has said that it cannot obtain lethal injection drugs, Mr. Moore was forced to elect death by firing squad to avoid the electric chair.

He said in a written statement on April 15 that he did not believe or concede that either method of execution before him was legal or constitutional. He explained that he elected death by firing squad because he more strongly opposes death by electrocution.

“I believe this election is forcing me to choose between two unconstitutional methods of execution,” Mr. Moore said, “and I do not intend to waive any challenges to electrocution or firing squad by making an election.”

Cruel and Unusual Punishment

Lawyers for Mr. Moore are challenging the new law, arguing that both electrocution and the firing squad are cruel and unusual punishments barred by the Eighth Amendment.

“The electric chair and the firing squad are antiquated, barbaric methods of execution that virtually all American jurisdictions have left behind,” Mr. Moore’s attorney, Lindsey Vann, wrote in a motion filed on April 8.

Mr. Moore’s attorneys are also challenging the DOC’s claim that it cannot find lethal injection drugs. They have pointed out in court filings that since the DOC first said in 2013 that it could not carry out a lethal injection because it lacked the necessary drugs, 13 states and the federal government “have carried out 222 executions by lethal injection.”

On Thursday, April 14, a Richland County court judge denied the State’s motion to dismiss Mr. Moore’s lawsuit, which includes three other men facing execution. Mr. Moore’s lawyers asked the state supreme court to stay his execution while the court evaluates his constitutional challenge to the method of execution, and the court issued a temporary stay on Wednesday, April 20.

Not the “Worst of the Worst”

The state supreme court has also been asked to stay the execution to allow the U.S. Supreme Court to review whether Mr. Moore’s death sentence is a disproportionate punishment compared to similar crimes.

Mr. Moore, who is Black, was unarmed when he entered a Spartanburg convenience store in 1999. The clerk, James Mahoney, was white and armed with a pistol. As the two men struggled over the gun, Mr. Moore was shot in the arm and Mr. Mahoney suffered a fatal gunshot wound in the chest.

Mr. Moore testified he grabbed a bag of money as an after-thought as he left the store and immediately went to a friend’s home to seek help for his injury. The friend testified that Mr. Moore said he had done something bad and needed to turn himself in.

When the friend refused to take Mr. Moore to the emergency room, he tried to drive himself but struck a telephone pole. A passing officer saw the accident and, when he approached, Mr. Moore got out of his truck, laid down in the road, and said, “I did it, I did it, I give up, I give up.”

Ms. Vann argues that because Mr. Moore did not bring a gun into the store, he could not have intended to kill someone when he walked in. That distinguishes his case from other death-penalty cases, she said.

“We have researched all cases in South Carolina ending in the death penalty and none of them are like this,” Ms. Vann told NPR.

Last week, the South Carolina Supreme Court rejected the argument that Mr. Moore’s death sentence is disproportionate compared to other armed robberies. But as Associate Justice Kaye Hearn wrote in dissent, the majority ignored the fact that Mr. Moore was unarmed when he entered the store.

“I have not found any other case involving a defendant receiving the death penalty where he entered the place of business unarmed. Indeed, the State specifically conceded at oral argument that it could not cite to any case in our state with this distinguishing fact,” she wrote. “In my view, entering a convenience store unarmed falls well short of engaging in a cold, calculated, and premeditated murder.”

“Moore’s crime does not represent the ‘worst of the worst’ in terms of those murders reserved for the death penalty,” Justice Hearn concluded.

The Role of Race

In determining that Mr. Moore’s sentence is disproportionate to the facts of the crimes, Justice Hearn also underscoredhow his case “highlights many of the pitfalls endemic to the death penalty, beginning with the role race plays.”

Mr. Moore was convicted and sentenced to death by a jury with 11 white jurors and one Hispanic juror, she observed. No Black jurors were selected even though several African Americans were in the jury pool.

The foundation of our capital punishment scheme is deeply rooted in racial disparity.

Dissent in Moore v. Stirling

Of the 282 people that have been executed since 1912, when official records began, 208 (74%) were Black and 74 (26%) were white, Justice Hearn noted.

She also identified “alarming statistics” concerning the race of the victim:

From 1985 to 2001, there were twenty-one cases in Spartanburg County where a death notice was filed, and in all but one the victim was white. As Moore highlights in his petition for habeas relief, during the first eight years of that timeframe, the solicitor’s office sought the death penalty in 43% of death eligible cases involving a white victim but not once in a case with a black victim.

“The foundation of our capital punishment scheme is deeply rooted in racial disparity,” Justice Hearn wrote, adding that “it is disingenuous to discount the factor race plays” in cases like Mr. Moore’s.

While the Public Was Distracted by “Cover Stories” a Court Ordered Release of FDA Docs Revealed that Pfizer's COVID Shot Caused 1,291 Different Adverse Events During Clinical Trials

/

From [CHD] and [HERE] and [HERE] An estimated 10,000-page set of documents released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), as ordered by U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman, allows the public to access data Pfizer submitted to FDA from its clinical trials in support of a COVID-19 vaccine license. Prior to Judge Pittman’s ruling, the FDA planned to suppress the data for the next 75 years which the agency claimed was necessary, in part, because of its “limited resources.”

A 38-page report included in the documents features an Appendix, “LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST,” that lists 1,291 different adverse events following vaccination. The list includes acute kidney injury, acute flaccid myelitis, anti-sperm antibody positive, brain stem embolism, brain stem thrombosis, cardiac arrest, cardiac failure, cardiac ventricular thrombosis, cardiogenic shock, central nervous system vasculitis, death neonatal, deep vein thrombosis, encephalitis brain stem, encephalitis hemorrhagic, frontal lobe epilepsy, foaming at mouth, epileptic psychosis, facial paralysis, fetal distress syndrome, gastrointestinal amyloidosis, generalized tonic-clonic seizure, Hashimoto’s encephalopathy, hepatic vascular thrombosis, herpes zoster reactivation, immune-mediated hepatitis, interstitial lung disease, jugular vein embolism, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, liver injury, low birth weight, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, myocarditis, neonatal seizure, pancreatitis, pneumonia, stillbirth, tachycardia, temporal lobe epilepsy, testicular autoimmunity, thrombotic cerebral infarction, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, venous thrombosis neonatal, and vertebral artery thrombosis among 1,246 other medical conditions following vaccination.

“At least now we know why the FDA and Pfizer wanted to keep this data under wraps for 75 years,” said Children’s Health Defense (CHD) president and general counsel Mary Holland. “The clinical trial data released so far should put an immediate end to the Pfizer COVID vaccines. The potential for serious harm is very clear, and those injured by the vaccines are prohibited from suing Pfizer for damages.”


Pfizer hired about 600 additional full-time employees to process adverse event reports during the three months following theEmergency Use Authorization (EUA) of its COVID-19 vaccine, newly released documents reveal.

According to the documents, Pfizer said, "More are joining each month with an expected total of more than 1,800 additional resources by the end of June 2021."

The information was contained in a 10,000-page document cache released April 1 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and made public as part of a court-ordered disclosure schedule stemming from an expedited Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

The latest revelations appeared in a document, "Cumulative analysis of post-authorization adverse event reports" of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, highlighting such adverse events identified through Feb. 28, 2021.

The document was previously released in November 2021, but was partially redacted. The redactions included the number of employees Pfizer hired and/or was planning to hire.

According to the unredacted document released April 1:

"Pfizer has also taken a multiple actions [sic] to help alleviate the large increase of adverse event reports. This includes significant technology enhancements, and process and workflow solutions, as well as increasing the number of data entry and case processing colleagues.

"To date, Pfizer has onboarded approximately 600 additional full-time employees (FTEs).

"More are joining each month with an expected total of more than 1,800 additional resources by the end of June 2021."

The unredacted version also revealed the number of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine doses shipped worldwide between December 2020 and February 2021:

"It is estimated that approximately 126,212,580 doses of BNT162b2 [the Pfizer EUA vaccine] were shipped worldwide from the receipt of the first temporary authorisation for emergency supply on 01 December 2020 through 28 February 2021."

The number of shipped doses previously was redacted.

Remarking upon this newly revealed information, Brian Hooker, chief scientific officer of Children's Health Defense, told The Defender:

"The rollout of the Pfizer vaccine has led to an unprecedented number of adverse events reported — 158,000 adverse events in the first two-plus months of the rollout means that the rate of reported AE [adverse events] was approximately 1:1000, with many of the AEs graded as serious. This is based on a denominator of 125,000,000 vaccines distributed.

"It is no wonder that an army of 1,800 individuals was needed to process all of the information."

Hooker noted the total number (1,205,755) of COVID vaccine adverse events reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System between Dec. 14, 2020 and March 25, 2022, now eclipses the total number (930,952) of adverse events reported in the 32-year history of the database.

Dr. Madhava Setty, a board-certified anesthesiologist and senior science editor for The Defender, previously reported on the same Pfizer document, before the unredacted version was released.

"In that piece, I alluded to Pfizer's admission that they needed more staff to process all of the adverse events being reported to them," Setty said.

"It seems this document has now been updated. 600 FTEs [full-time employees]! ... I wonder how many extra people the CDC [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Protection] has hired? Given how they are operating, I would say zero."

Pfizer downplayed adverse reactions in request for full FDA license

The April 1 document release also included "request for priority review" — the documentation Pfizer in May 2021 submitted to the FDA for full licensure of its Comirnaty COVID vaccine.

In this document, Pfizer described its vaccine as fulfilling an "unmet medical need," claiming:

"Mass immunization with a safe and effective vaccine against COVID-19 can dramatically alter the trajectory of the pandemic.

"According to policy briefing by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation published on 31 March 2021, COVID-19 remains a leading cause of death in the US with up to 100,000 additional deaths projected in the US between March and July 2021, many of which can likely be prevented with COVID-19 vaccination."

Comment: No, COVID-19 was not a "leading cause of death" at any point. The official death toll from COVID-19 was massively inflated in most Western countries:

And now that the COVID-19 fear-campaign has almost run its course... we are seeing governments and health agencies backtrack on their "official" numbers:


Pfizer expressed "concerns" about lifting COVID-related measures, such as lockdowns, on the basis that the lifting of such restrictions would "counteract the impacts of this vaccination effort."

The documentstates:

"Vaccination against COVID-19 began with EUA/conditional approvals in December 2020, in a phased rollout defined by national/regional guidance.

However, there continue to be concerning trends that may counteract the impacts of this vaccination effort, including: [L]imitations in access to obtaining a vaccine due to infrastructure challenges (ie, clinic and appointment capacity and systems)[I]ncreasing viral transmission fueled by relaxed compliance with mitigations as the pandemic surpasses the 1-year mark (ie, masks, physical distancing, limiting travel)[I]ncreasing circulation of emerging variants of concern (which are currently driving continued spread of viral infection in Europe despite extensive mitigation mandates)."

Pfizerjustifiedits request for full licensure of its COVID vaccine on the following basis:

"A vaccine program must be implemented expediently and rapidly expanded to have a significant impact on the pandemic course.

"Licensure of BNT162b2 is likely to enhance vaccine uptake by facilitating supply of vaccine from Pfizer/BioNTech directly to pharmacies and healthcare providers/facilities.

"The greatest impact of BNT162b2 licensure may be direct supply to healthcare providers who serve vulnerable populations such as elderly patients and those who live in rural and underserved communities (ie, individuals who might be unable to navigate the challenges of securing vaccine access using the systems in place for EUA).

"Expansion of vaccine via licensure would ultimately improve the prospect of achieving population herd immunity to bring the pandemic under control."

Comment: It is in Pfizer's interest to maintain the facade that COVID-19 poses an on-going threat to public health. After all, the only thing they care about is selling more vaccines.

The same document glossed over the adverse effects for which the company previously admitted it hired a significant number of new employees to process, claiming:

"Based on Phase 1 data from the FIH Study BNT162-01, BNT162b1 and BNT162b2 [various vaccines tested during the trial period] were safe and well-tolerated in healthy adults 18 to 55 years of age, with no unanticipated safety findings.

"Phase 2/3 safety data were generally concordant with safety data in Phase 1 of the study, both overall and with regard to younger and older participants."

This is despite hard figures regarding adverse reactions provided later in the document:

"Through 28 February 2021 (data lock point aligned with Pharmacovigilance Plan), there were a total of 42,086 case reports (25,379 medically confirmed and 16,707 non-medically confirmed) containing 158,893 events. Cases were received from 63 countries.

"Consistent with what was seen in Phase 2/3 of Study C4591001, most reported AEs were in System Organ Classes (SOCs) with reactogenicity events: general disorders and administration site conditions (51,335), nervous system disorders (25,957), musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders (17,283), and gastrointestinal disorders (14,096).

"Post-authorization data have also informed the addition of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to the experience of reactogenicity to the product labeling." [MORE]

The U.S. government has already purchased 50 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine intended for children under five years of age to be delivered by April 30, 2022 although the FDA has yet to grant an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for this age group. The risk of serious injury or death from COVID to healthy children is practically nil and so far, the vaccine is not effectivewhen used in young children.

“It would be criminal to expose infants and young children to this extremely risky product,” said Holland. “VAERS data show the catastrophic health impacts the vaccine is having on millions of people, yet Pfizer and other vaccine makers are raking in billions of dollars with no fear of being held accountable for injuries and deaths from their vaccines.”

The FDA’s attempt to suppress these data in support of the pharmaceutical industry’s bottom line isn’t a new phenomenon in this country’s public health system.

The Following List of Vaccine Makers, Providers and Hospitals Stand-behind Their COVID Shots and Have Waived Government Granted Immunity from Liability for Injuries or Death Caused: NONE

/

From [HERE] The Secretary of the United States Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Alex M. Azar III, has granted the companies selling and those involved in virtually any other activity related to any COVID-19 vaccine immunity from liability for any injuries caused by these products. Prior to his current position, Secretary Azar was a senior executive for a major pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly and Company, from 2007 to 2017.

Secretary Azar has issued a “Declaration pursuant to section 319F-3 of the Public Health Service Act to provide liability immunity for activities related to medical countermeasures against COVID-19.” (85 FR 15198.) It provides that those that “prescribe, administer, deliver, distribute or dispense” and the “manufacturers [and] distributors” of “any vaccine, used to treat, … prevent or mitigate COVID-19” shall enjoy “[l]iablity immunity ,” including, “from suit and liability under Federal and State law with respect to all claims for loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the administration to or the use by an individual of a [COVID-19 vaccine].” (Id.; 42 U.S.C. § 247d-6d.)

An integral driver of consumer safety is the potential and actual liability companies face if their product causes harm. To assure consumers that a pharmaceutical company stands behind the safety of its vaccine product, ICAN makes a public request that each pharmaceutical company formally declaration that it waives the immunity from liability granted by HHS for injuries caused by COVID-19 vaccine.

Waiving this immunity will provide the standard and minimal level of product safety assurance consumers expect. If a company will not bear the risk of having to pay for injuries caused by its product, it should be understandable that consumers will not want to bear the risk of being injected with that product.

The following a list of the pharmaceutical companies that have, to-date, publicly announced that they will stand-behind their product and waive immunity from liability for injuries caused by their COVID-19 vaccine:

NONE

The above stated regulations are the implementing regs for the actual statutory immunity provide for COVID injections. As explained by attorney Aaron Siri,

The federal government has given complete immunity to Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J for any injury caused by their Covid-19 vaccines.  That’s right: you cannot sue them if you are injured by their Covid-19 vaccine.  (See Note 1 to read the law yourself.)  So, while their product may not give you immunity, Pfizer and Moderna are guaranteed immunity.  Said immunity also shields doctors, hospitals and any other persons who administer or coerce people to take deadly COVID injections.

And it gets even worse.  These companies are even immune for – hold your breath – willful misconduct.  That may sound crazy, but it is shockingly true.  You can only sue them for willful misconduct if the federal government first sues them for such conduct.  (See Note 2 below to read the law yourself.)  And what are the odds the federal government will do so after wildly promoting the vaccine?  About as likely as the FDA ever admitting they promoted a vaccine that caused widespread harm. [MORE]

Note 1. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 247d-6d the federal government “Declaration pursuant to section 319F-3 of the Public Health Service Act to provide liability immunity for activities related to medical countermeasures against COVID-19” provides that “manufacturers” of “any vaccine, used to treat, … prevent or mitigate COVID-19” shall enjoy “[l]iablity immunity ,” including, “from suit and liability under Federal and State law with respect to all claims for loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the administration to or the use by an individual of a [COVID-19 vaccine].”

Note 2.  Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 247d-6d(c)(5) “If an act or omission by a manufacturer or distributor with respect to a covered countermeasure, which act or omission is alleged under subsection (e)(3)(A) to constitute willful misconduct, … such act or omission shall not constitute ‘willful misconduct’ … if—(i)neither the Secretary nor the Attorney General has initiated an enforcement action with respect to such act or omission; or (ii)such an enforcement action has been initiated and the action has been terminated or finally resolved without a covered remedy.”

According to CDC's Own Conservative, Manipulated Data, COVID Vaccines Have Caused More than 1 Million Injuries and Nearly 27,000 Deaths - but Still Super Safe According to Govt, Big Pharma and Media

/

From [CHD] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today released new data showing a total of 1,226,314 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines were submitted between Dec. 14, 2020, and April 8, 2022, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.

The data included a total of 26,976 reports of deaths — an increase of 277 over the previous week — and 219,865 serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 2,564 compared with the previous week.

Excluding “foreign reports” to VAERS, 805,921 adverse events, including 12,471 deaths and 79,811 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020, and April 8, 2022.

Foreign reports are reports foreign subsidiaries send to U.S. vaccine manufacturers. Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, if a manufacturer is notified of a foreign case report that describes an event that is both serious and does not appear on the product’s labeling, the manufacturer is required to submit the report to VAERS.

Of the 12,471 U.S. deaths reported as of April 8, 17% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 21% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 59% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

In the U.S., 564 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of April 8, including 334 million doses of Pfizer, 212 million doses of Moderna and 19 million doses of Johnson & Johnson (J&J).

Every Friday, VAERS publishes vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.

Historically, VAERS has been shown to report only 1% of actual vaccine adverse events.

U.S. VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to April 8, 2022, for 5- to 11-year-olds show:

U.S. VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to April 8, 2022, for 12- to 17-year-olds show:

Woman develops fatal brain disease after second Moderna dose

Carol Beauchine died from sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rapidly evolving, fatal degenerative brain disorder she developed after her second dose of Moderna’s COVID vaccine.

In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Carol’s son, Jeffrey Beauchine, said it was excruciating to watch his 70-year-old mother — who was healthy until she got the vaccine — die from a disease he believes the vaccine caused.

Beauchine said Carol received her first dose of Moderna on Feb. 16, 2021, and didn’t report any complaints. After getting the second dose on March 17, Carol immediately said she “felt different.” She developed numbness that spread throughout the entire left side of her body, blindness and hearing loss. She lost the ability to walk and communicate, and her brain degenerated until she passed away on Aug. 2, 2021 — just five months after receiving her second dose of Moderna.

The family submitted a report to VAERS, but the CDC has not followed up on Carol’s death. The Defender has received numerous reports of people who died from sporadic CJD after receiving a COVID vaccine — all women who were between the ages of 60 and 70, including Cheryl Cohenand Jennifer Deason Sprague.

Biden administration extends COVID public health emergency needed to keep vaccines under EUA

The Biden administration on Wednesday extended the COVID public health emergency, now two years old, for an additional 90 days — allowing vaccines and other drugs to remain under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Keeping COVID vaccines and other countermeasures under EUA shields pharmaceutical companies from liability for the harms caused by their products.

According to Reuters, a public health emergency was initially announced in January 2020, when the COVID pandemic began. It has been renewed each quarter since and was due to expire on April 16.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said in a statement it was extending the public health emergency and will give states 60 days’ notice prior to termination or expiration. This may be the last time HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra extends it, according to policy experts.

Blight House Pushes Global Vaccine Summit to “Vaccinate the world," targeting “everyone, everywhere" to Create Human Dependency on Deadly Vaccines and Kill as Many People as Possible

/

From [HERE] On May 12, the White House is planning to hold its second global Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccine” summit. On the agenda are plans to “bring solutions to vaccinate the world for everyone, everywhere.”

As Americans suffer under record inflation and a failing economy, the Biden regime is laser-focused on exporting Fauci Flu shots to every last corner of the world and forcing them into the arms of all humans.

In an April 18 announcement, the White House said the United States is joining Belize, Germany, Indonesia, and Senegal in holding its Second Global COVID-19 Summit.

The U.S. will serve as the first COVID Summit Chair while Belize will hold the spot of CARICOM Chair. Germany will hold the G7 Presidency; Indonesia will hold the G20 Presidency; and Senegal will be the African Union Chair.

“The Summit will redouble our collective efforts to end the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future health threats,” the statement reads.

White House says magical appearance of Omicron necessitates further fearmongering and tyranny

Even though COVID has been over for at least a year now, the White House insists that a new threat has emerged in the form of the Omicron (Moronic) variant, which government data show has been detected among the “fully vaccinated.”

Because of this, world governments must convene to develop new strategies of tyranny that can “mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and protect those at the highest risk with vaccinations, testing, and treatments.”

The Second Global COVID-19 Summit will also develop actions to “minimize disruption to routine health services,” including through the use of a “multilateral mechanism” called the “ACT-Accelerator.”

“We know we must prepare now to build, sustain, and finance the global capacity we need, not only for emerging COVID-19 variants, but also future health crises,” the Biden regime contends.

All countries “and stakeholders,” the memo goes on to explain, need to take “urgent actions” to help create the systems the deep state is demanding to “build better health security and health systems.”

Note the use of the word “stakeholders,” in this context, which suggests that there are entities directly profiting from all of this plandemic ho-ha (which we already know was the case, of course).

Building on the themes and commitments discussed at the first Summit, the Biden regime will emphasize at the second one the importance of “getting shots into arms” – their words, not ours.

Biden et al. also want to develop new tests and treatments, as well as expand the “health workforce,” meaning more frontline employees.

There will also be an emphasis on enhancing access to “medical countermeasures, including research and development and scaling and diversifying local and regional manufacturing.”

And finally, Biden’s puppet-masters are stressing a new “sustainable financing” scheme that sounds a whole lot like a new one-world digital currency. To help disguise it, they are calling its uses as “pandemic preparedness, health security, and health systems.”

Barack Obama, a RecogNegro [a sell-out who has passed over into a reality that crosses out his own kind], Launches Campaign to Silence COVID Disinformation (info contrary to his Master's Interests)

/

 The NYT states, In 2011, President Barack Obama swept into Silicon Valley and yukked it up with Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder. The occasion was a town hall with the social network’s employees that covered the burning issues of the day: taxes, health care, the promise of technology to solve the nation’s problems.

More than a decade later, Mr. Obama is making another trip to Silicon Valley, this time with a grimmer message about the threat that the tech giants have created to the nation itself.

In private meetings and public appearances over the last year, the former president has waded deeply into the public fray over misinformation and disinformation (info contrary to his Master’s interests), warning that the scourge of falsehoods online has eroded the foundations of democracy at home and abroad.

In a speech at Stanford University on Thursday, he is expected to add his voice to demands for rules to rein in the flood of lies polluting public discourse.

Mr. Obama’s campaign — the timing of which stemmed not from a single cause, people close to him said, but a broad concern about the damage to democracy’s foundations — comes in the middle of a fierce but inconclusive debate over how best to restore trust online.

In Washington, lawmakers are so sharply divided that any legislative compromise seems out of reach. Democrats criticize giants like Facebook, which has been renamed Meta, and Twitter for failing to rid their sites of harmful content. President Joseph R. Biden Jr., too, has lashed out at the platforms that allowed falsehoods about coronavirus vaccines to spread, saying last year that “they’re killing people.” [MORE]

Mathematician says Government Authorities Manipulated COVID Data to Exaggerate Crisis, Sell Fear [Vaccines] to the Public

From [Video HERE] the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Norman Fenton, Ph.D., could see health officials were misusing data and misleading the public.

A professor of risk information management at Queen Mary University of London, Fenton is a mathematician who focuses on critical decision-making and quantifying uncertainty.

Throughout the pandemic, he closely examined and criticized how officials used data to make decisions about lockdowns, testing and vaccines.

Fenton spoke last week with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on “RFK Jr. The Defender Podcast.”

“When the COVID pandemic emerged, what kind of challenges did you specifically see?” Kennedy asked Fenton.

Fenton replied:

“It was clear I think from the start that most of the data that governments put out — not just the UK government, but most governments around the world … were kind of misleading because it was based on very easily manipulated statistics.”

This was true of both the nature of COVID itself and the vaccines, Fenton said.

“There was an immediate rush to draw conclusions, which were sort of based on over-simplistic data on case numbers and deaths,” he said.  “… the problem was that that data was very easily used by influencers and decision-makers to fit particular narratives that exaggerated the scale of the crisis.”

Fenton’s team published some of the first research providing more accurate estimates about the infection rate versus the fatality rate compared with official estimates he said were based on faulty data.

The research showed the virus was more widespread than people assumed, but nowhere near as dangerous as was being claimed.

Fenton also addressed issues with PCR tests.

Although it was clear early on that a proper understanding of the virus depended on accurate diagnostic tests, he said, “we were initially led to believe that the PCR test was an accurate diagnostic test.”

“But later, of course, we discovered that wasn’t true. And the impact of that has been catastrophic,” he said.

Kennedy agreed. “The magnitude of [the epidemic] was enormously and deceptively amplified by the misuse of the PCR test,” he said.

Fenton first came under attack in the summer and early fall of 2020, when he challenged how COVID deaths were classified, he said, and questioned the widespread testing of asymptomatic people.

“That was when we were finding the real problems about the false positives and the scale of the false positives,” Fenton said.

Excessive testing led to “absolutely ridiculous decisions,” he said, including new lockdowns.

Information concerning deaths following COVID vaccination also was manipulated, Fenton said, as part of the official claim that the vaccine was the only way to keep people from becoming seriously ill and dying.

Data adjusted to take into account misclassification show a peak in mortality shortly after vaccination, he said, cautioning:

“Now, of course, it could well be that these are people who are indeed immunosuppressed seriously. Also … the vaccination might just be bringing forward the death, which would’ve occurred shortly afterward anyway.

“But nevertheless, that’s what we believe is there in the data, but is of course being hidden.”

Although Only 6% of Africa is Fully Vaccinated, It is “One of the Least-Affected Regions in the World," according to WHO. So-called “COVID Deaths" in Africa Have Now Dropped to Lowest Levels Yet

/

 The number of Covid-19 cases and deaths in Africa have dropped to their lowest levels since the pandemic began, marking the longest decline yet seen in the disease, according to the World Health Organization.

In a statement on Thursday, the U.N. health agency said Covid-19 infections due to the omicron surge had “tanked” from a peak of more than 308,000 weekly cases to fewer than 20,000 last week. Cases and deaths fell by 29% and 37% respectively in the last week; deaths decreased to 239 from the previous week.

“This low level of infection has not been seen since April 2020 in the early stages of the pandemic in Africa,” WHO said, noting that no country in the region is currently seeing an increase of Covid-19 cases. [MORE]

While it’s true the continent has some of the lowest vaccination rates in the world, with only 6% fully vaccinated, the World Health Organization has consistently described Africa as “one of the least-affected regions in the world” in its weekly pandemic reports. [MORE]

A Blight House Email Obtained by FOIA Request Shows Facebook, Merck and the CDC Foundation (includes Pfizer) Formed an Alliance “to build confidence in vaccines" [to destroy informed consent]

/

From [HERE] A White House email, obtained on behalf of ICAN, shows Facebook, Merck, and the CDC Foundation, whose corporate partners includes Pfizer, have formed an alliance “to use social media and digital platforms to build confidence in and drive uptake of vaccines.” No conflict there.

On August 12, 2021, ICAN, through its attorneys, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for communications between White House staff and Facebook, Google, and YouTube.  In response to this request, ICAN received a June 15, 2021 email sent by Facebook’s then-Public Policy Manager, Nkechi “Payton” Iheme, to several White House employees.

In it, Iheme announces a new initiative, the “Alliance for Advancing Health Care,” between Facebook and several major companies and organizations, including Merck, the Vaccine Confidence Project, the Sabin Vaccine Institute, and the CDC Foundation.  Significantly, one of the CDC Foundation’s corporate partners is Pfizer.  In the email, Iheme explains that the Alliance is “focused on advancing public understanding of how social media and behavioral sciences can be leveraged to improve the health of communities around the world” and states that its first project is to “provide grants to researchers and organizations for projects that explore how to use social media and digital platforms to build confidence in and drive uptake of vaccines.”  Facebook announced this new initiative on June 9, 2021 here.

The conflict of interest is astonishing.  This email shows without a doubt that, through the CDC Foundation created “to support the [CDC’s] work,” the federal government, which is in charge of ensuring the safety of vaccines, has teamed up with Big Pharma and Big Tech to push a liability-free product on the world, while attempting to stomp out anyone who questions this arrangement.

Just as the pharmaceutical companies will never rest when it comes to promoting and selling their vaccine products, and the federal government will not rest in its efforts to assist them, we will never rest in exposing the truth regarding these products or in demanding full transparency and full informed consent for any and all vaccines.

6 Companies Control 90% of What Americans Read, Watch and Hear (Talk and Think About). Many Black Sheeple Believe "The Dependent Media" is disinterested, unbiased and independent from Vested Interests

/

DR. AMOS WILSON EXPLAINED, “The most effective means of disseminating and reproducing ideas in society, and in the Afrikan American community in particular, is to have that community perceive their dissemination and reproduc­tion as the work of disinterested, unbiased, non-manipulative, liberal yet authoritative, White American individuals, groups, or institutions, or as flowing from sources independent of the marked influence of the powerful. Thus, White America strongly pushes and projects the powerful mythology of independent, liberal American media, universi­ties, and other information processing establishments. That is, America loudly congratulates itself for what it calls its "free press" and mass media which permit the free exchange of ideas. Most Black Americans utilize White media and these factors as their primary, if not sole, source of information. Most are not mindful of the fact that the American press and mass media are privately owned, profit-making, White elite-controlled corporations. The press is one among other institutions, "and one of the most important in maintaining the hegemony of the corporate class and the capitalist system itself," advances Parenti.

If the press cannot mold our every opinion, it can frame the perpetual reality around which our opinions take shape. Here may lie the most important effect of the news media: they set the issue agenda for the rest of us, choosing what to emphasize and what to ignore or suppress, in effect, organizing our political world for us. The media may not always be able to tell us what to think, but they are strikingly success­ful in telling us what to think about ...”.

From [CHD] Today, just six conglomerates — Comcast, Disney, AT&T, Sony, Fox and Paramount Global (formerly known as ViacomCBS) — control 90% of what you watch, read, or listen to. To put this into perspective: that means about 232 media executives have the power to decide what information 277 million Americans are able to access. In 2021, the “big six” banked a total of more than $478 billion in revenue. That’s more than both Finland’s and Ukraine’s GDP combined.

The issue extends to print media and radio giants, too: iHeartMedia owns 863 radio stationsnationwide, while Gannett owns more than 100 daily U.S. newspapers and nearly 1,000 weeklies.

As the pool controlling the media keeps shrinking, so does the breadth of the information reported. Hence why today’s thousands of news outlets often churn out embarrassingly duplicative content. [MORE]

J&J Pays $99M to Settle Suit for Causing West Virginia's Opioid Crisis. J&J Concealed, Mischaracterized and Failed to Disclose Risks of Addiction and Serious Health Risks, just Like COVID Vax

/

From [HERE] Johnson & Johnson will pay $99 million to settle a lawsuit in West Virginia that alleges the company helped fuel the state’s opioid crisis, removing the company from a trial that began this month.

West Virginia was one of several states that didn’t join a nationwide $5 billion opioid settlement that J&J  completed in February to resolve state and local government lawsuits against the company. 

J&J said Monday that its settlement with the West Virginia attorney general isn’t an admission of wrongdoing and that its marketing and promotion of prescription opioids were appropriate and responsible. The company no longer sells prescription opioids in the U.S.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said the settlement allowed the state to recover more than double the $48 million that the company had offered it in the national settlement.

“It was absolutely the correct decision to proceed to trial,” Mr. Morrisey said. “This settlement will provide significant help to those affected the most by the opioid crisis in West Virginia.”

The trial in Kanawha County is continuing against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. and AbbVie Inc.’s Allergan and affiliated companies.

In that case, Mr. Morrisey alleges that the companies concealed, mischaracterized and failed to disclose the serious risk of addiction and promoted higher dosage amounts without disclosing inherently greater risks, among other things.

Teva declined to comment. Allergan didn’t respond to a request for comment. 

A separate bench trial was held last summer in federal court in Charleston, W.Va., in which Cabell County and the city of Huntington, W. Va., accused drug wholesalers McKessonCorp., AmerisourceBergen Corp. and Cardinal Health Inc. of creating a public nuisance when they shipped 81 million pills to the city and county between 2006 and 2014.

Defense attorneys argued that physicians prescribed opioids using their medical judgment and pharmacies dispensed medications to patients. They said they followed the law and had systems in place to identify suspicious orders.

The judge has yet to rule on that case.

After Begging Blacks for Their Vote, White Liberals Sit On Their Ass While Evictions of Mostly Black Tenants by Mostly White Landlords for Non-Payment of Rent (Due to COVID Lockdowns) Are On the Rise

/

From [HERE] Evictions on the rise but lawsuits, nonpaying tenants still vex the rental housing market

Landlords nationwide are booting out more tenants who haven’t paid their monthly rent since the COVID-19 pandemic started, but legal challenges are slowing them down in some places.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s moratorium on evictions ended July 31. But lawsuits continue to flood state and local courts as property managers seek to pay their bills and lodgers complain of price-gouging in rent increases.

The past two years of the pandemic saw the largest drop in eviction filings on record when the federal government intervened to prevent landlords from dislodging tenants, according to the Princeton University’s Eviction Lab, which tracked 31 cities in six states.

While those areas typically see 865,000 evictions a year, the lab said only 434,304 cases were filed last year.

The number of evictions is ticking up again as landlords push renters to pay back what they owe on monthly payments stretching back up to two years.

In those 31 cities representing a fraction of all U.S. renters, the lab reports that 7,973 people have been evicted in the past week alone.

“Trends on evictions vary city to city and state to state, but they are trending upwards in general and in many places are overpassing pre-pandemic averages,” said Juan Pablo Garnham, a member of the Eviction Lab’s media team.

New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against real estate law firm Balsamo on Wednesday, accusing the Brooklyn-based attorneys of suing to evict nonpaying renters without any “meaningful reviews” of their cases.

“This lawsuit is the first step in righting the wrongs done by unscrupulous landlords and their lawyers and reversing the negative impacts of their negligence on our communities,” Ms. James, a Democrat, said in a statement.

St. Louis media outlet KMOV reported that tenant Anthony Glasby has sued the Lewis and Clark apartments for allegedly forcing him out illegally over unpaid back rent — payments he said he was starting to make after catching COVID-19 in December.

“You cannot be evicted in Missouri without judicial process,” Rob Swearingen, an attorney at Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, told the news station.

But John J. Vecchione, a lawyer with the nonpartisan New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), said some states made it harder for landlords by imposing longer moratoriums than the CDC required.

That has put added pressure on property owners to choose between evictions and raising their rents to cope with the lost revenues.

“The longer a moratorium goes on, the more economic disruption happens until it’s lifted,” Mr. Vecchione said. “I think that’s just logic.”

The attorney said his legal advocacy group filed three lawsuits representing more than 20 landlords to overturn the CDC moratorium before the Supreme Court struck it down on Aug. 26.

“The federal eviction moratorium was illegal and had the bad consequences of not allowing the housing market to function,” Mr. Vecchione said.

But while U.S. eviction moratoriums have ended, many landlords are still struggling to compensate for the billions of dollars in unpaid rent.

Iowa landlord Asa Mossman, the lead plaintiff in NCLA’s lawsuit Mossman vs. CDC, said it would cost his small business more in legal fees to collect the unpaid rent than he would get for his trouble.

“I haven’t received any compensation, but I got a symbolic court judgment against one tenant for a small amount of money that I have no hope of collecting,” Mr. Mossman said.

And the Cedar Rapids-based owner of 11 affordable-rent properties said he worries government officials may change the law again if the pandemic flares back up.

That would make things even harder on the low-income market, he said.

“It’s become extremely difficult for people to find housing in lower price ranges because rents have gone up, there’s more scrutiny of tenants and supplies have gone down,” Mr. Mossman said.

Tracy Mills, a landlord in Charleston, South Carolina, said he will never recover $50,000 in unpaid rent from the tenant he evicted from a single-family home in July after 18 months of missed payments.

“The tenant had plenty of money, but chose to ride the moratorium and not pay up,” Mr. Mills said. “We tried everything we could to work something out without an eviction, but they wouldn’t apply for any rental assistance to stay.”

Mr. Mills, who manages six affordable housing properties in South Carolina, said it’s the only eviction he’s had in the past 20 years.

“We’re still trying to recover from it, putting the house on Airbnb as a short-term rental, but they start you off at low rates. Eventually, I think we’ll crawl out, but it’s frustrating,” he said.

Some financial experts said that the affordable housing market will suffer more in states and cities that hinder evictions.

“If landlords are not allowed to enforce contracts and evict those who shirk their obligations, they will have no choice but to pass on the costs to paying tenants or to sell off their properties, possibly reducing the availability of rental housing overall,” said John Berlau, director of finance policy at the libertarian Competitive Enterprise Institute.

Economist Victor Claar, who teaches at Florida Gulf Coast University, said the ongoing rise in U.S. home prices means most landlords are not price-gouging by raising their rents.

And since soaring home prices have driven more Americans into the affordable rental market, the pressure on landlords to evict nonpaying tenants is growing.

“Landlords have bills to pay and sometimes those bills are mortgage bills on their rental properties,” Mr. Claar said. “There’s no moratorium on those.”

Bryan Cannon, a North Carolina-based financial planner at Cannon Advisors, said it could help if more tenants apply for local, state and national rental assistance funds.

“It should not necessarily fall on the backs of landlords to subsidize rents to renters who do not pay,” Mr. Cannon said. “However, there should be some safeguards established to help egregious landlords who gouge their renters by dramatically escalating their rents to essentially force their tenants out.”

Bacteria that Causes Legionnaires’ Disease Found in Illinois Prison Water

/

From [HERE] Legionella, the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease, has been detected in the water at five correctional facilities in the past 12 months, the Illinois Department of Corrections confirmed to The Appeal.

The contaminated water was found during routine quarterly testing at Stateville Correctional Center, Joliet Treatment Center, Graham, Kewanee, and Stateville Northern Reception and Classification Center.

State officials told The Appeal that as of March 15, no one was exhibiting symptoms of the disease—a potentially fataltype of pneumonia.

When asked if all prison water supplies were tested for legionella on a quarterly basis, Illinois DOC Chief of Staff Camile Lindsay told The Appeal in an email that the department tests only “a sample size of water sources” at each facility.

At Stateville, after one positive sample was gathered from a cell, a second sample from a separate cell in the same unit was tested and was negative for legionella. The department did not test any other cells in the unit, Ms. Lindsay wrote, and the only other sources tested were sinks in the “healthcare” and “dietary” units, which came back negative.

The Appeal reported yesterday that, in a second round of testing on the contaminated water sources conducted in late March, officials again found legionella in Kewanee and Stateville.

Outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease have been reported at prisons in California, Indiana, New Jersey, and Connecticut, according to The Appeal.

In Illinois, two people incarcerated at the Pontiac Correctional Center were diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease in 2020, and a person incarcerated at Stateville was also diagnosed with the disease in 2015. All three were hospitalized.

Complaints about contaminated water in Illinois prisons are longstanding and go beyond legionella, The Appeal reports. In the 1990s, Stateville’s water was found to contain almost twice the level of radium permitted by federal guidelines.

People incarcerated at Stateville have been reporting that the water is discolored and has a strange taste since at least 2013. Extremely elevated levels of copper and lead were found in seven locations tested at the prison in October 2021.

In December 2021, protesters gathered outside Stateville to demand clean water. Injustice Watch reported that the water problems had reached crisis levels as supply chain issues and contract disputes created a shortage of bottled water in the prison commissary, where people who can afford it purchase drinking water. Advocates delivered more than 62,000 bottles of water to the prison during the protest.

The following month, a report from the Chicago Reader said that the company responsible for testing Stateville’s water for lead did not follow federal protocols and failed to test kitchen or cell faucets.

And in February, The Appeal reports, a lawsuit was filed alleging that the sink water in cells at the Northern Reception and Classification Center smells “like sewage and has a faint, brown color.”

Alan Mills, executive director of the Uptown People’s Law Center, which filed the Northern Reception suit, told The Appeal that corroding pipes can contribute to the growth of legionella bacteria.

As the state’s prisons age, the corrections department should be doing regular, system-wide testing of water sources, Mr. Mills said.

Federal Prosecutors Decline to File Murder Charges Against White Cop who Murdered Laquan McDonald and then Lied About It

Neuropeon Biden begged Blacks to vote for him and he promised “to root out systemic racism in our criminal justice system and to enact police reform in George Floyd’s name.” Proof that he will stand for whatever gullible Blacks will fall for. He is a liar doing nothing for Black people. Above Corpse Biden during the campaign using George Floyd’s family for a photo op.

From [HERE] Federal prosecutors said on Monday that they would not bring criminal charges against a former Chicago police officer who served about three years in state prison after being convicted of second-degree murder in the 2014 shooting of Laquan McDonald, a Black teenager.

In a statement on Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois said that, after consulting with Mr. McDonald’s family, it decided not to charge the former officer, Jason Van Dyke, in the killing of the 17-year-old boy, whose murder put a spotlight on police brutality, prompted changes in police procedure and had political ramifications.

The prosecutors said that the bar to convict Mr. Van Dyke on federal charges would have been much higher than the one for state charges. They would have to prove that he knew deadly force was excessive and that his actions “were not the result of mistake, fear, negligence, or bad judgment,” the statement said.

They added that a second round of charges against Mr. Van Dyke “would diminish the important results already achieved.” They noted that a federal judge would have to consider Mr. Van Dyke’s previous sentence and his good conduct in prison.

Daniel Herbert, Mr. Van Dyke’s lawyer and a former police officer, did not immediately respond to emails or phone calls on Monday.

In October 2014, Mr. Van Dyke, who is white and was then on the Chicago police force, responded to a report that a person was breaking into vehicles and found Mr. McDonald holding a knife but veering away from the police. Mr. Van Dyke shot the boy 16 times, firing even after Mr. McDonald had collapsed onto the street.

The shooting was caught on a dashboard-camera video, but the city released it only 13 months later after a judge’s order. The footage prompted protests across the city that denounced both the cover-up and Mr. McDonald’s brutal death.

Mr. Van Dyke was convicted in state court in 2018 of one count of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm. He was the first Chicago police officer to be convicted of murder in an on-duty shooting in nearly 50 years.

He was released in February, with credit for good behavior, after having served less than half of an 81-month prison sentence. While it is fairly routine for prisoners to be released early if they demonstrate good conduct, some Chicago activists were outraged. They called on the federal authorities to file civil rights charges against Mr. Van Dyke to make up for what they believed to be a lenient sentence.

Ja’Mal Green, 26, a former Chicago mayoral candidate who has spoken out about Mr. McDonald’s killing for several years, said that he had wanted the federal authorities to press charges against the former officer. 

“The fact that a white man was able to pump 16 bullets into a young Black boy and only do three years in jail? That’s not justice,” Mr. Green said on Monday night.

As a result of Mr. McDonald’s killing, the federal authorities investigated the Chicago Police Department and issued a consent decree ordering hundreds of police reforms. Chicago police officers now wear body cameras while on duty - so they can record and better spy on Blacks in their communities and use the recordings to secure prosecutions.

The police superintendent and several police officers were firedover the cover-up, which also may have been one of the reasons Rahm Emanuel, the former mayor, did not seek a third term.

MI Police Refuse to Release the Name of the White Cop who Murdered Patrick Lyoya. Are Cops Really "Public Servants" if They are Uncontrollable by the Public and Have Unaccountable Power to Take Life?

/

From [HERE] Patrick Lyoya’s father says he and his family have a right to know the name of the White officer who fatally shot the 26-year-old Black man.

But the police chief in Grand Rapids says he will only do so if the officer is charged in the April 4 shooting that followed a brief foot chase and a struggle over the officer’s Taser.

Eric Winstrom’s department is among those across the U.S. that have faced scrutiny for withholding identities of officers in cases where Black people were wounded or killed during interactions with police. Some have said it’s to protect the officers from retribution. Others, like Grand Rapids, point to policies that prohibit the release of an officer’s name before charges are filed.

“I’m asking for the law to release his face, his image and his identification because I would love to know the person who has killed my son. I have the right,” Peter Lyoya said through a translator during an emotional news conference after video of the shooting of his son was released last week.

Andrew Shannon, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference Peninsula Chapter and vice president for the SCLC Virginia State Unit, said police departments should treat officers who are under investigation like they would anyone else.

“They always report who the suspect is and they report who the victim is, except in cases of rape,” Shannon told The Associated Press. “There should be no special treatment when law enforcement are involved in these types of matters. They should want to demonstrate transparency and openness so everyone can be fully apprised of the process.”

Lyoya was facedown on the ground when an officer shot him in the back of the head while straddling Lyoya. The officer had stopped Lyoya for driving with a license plate that didn’t belong to the vehicle.

While Winstrom said he could not release the officer’s name, he did release videos of the shooting, citing a need for transparency. The officer could be heard repeatedly ordering Lyoya to “let go” of his Taser, at one point demanding: “Drop the Taser!”

Ben Crump, an attorney for Lyoya’s family, planned to release results of an independent autopsy on Tuesday.

Michigan State Police are investigating. The prosecutor who will determine whether the officer will face any charges has said not to expect a quick decision.

A Grand Rapids police spokeswoman said Monday in an email that a person’s name, age, other basic information and the charges against him can be released following an arrest or issuance of an arrest warrant.

“Not releasing the officer’s name is consistent with” the procedure, Jennifer Kalczuk wrote.

Ephraim Eaddy, spokesman for the agency, said it has concluded that officers’ names cannot be held back because they are public servants.

Crump, the Lyoyas’ attorney, said having the officer’s name would allow the family to find out more about him.

“We want to know his history,” Crump said last week. “I can guarantee you, they’re going to do everything in their power to try to learn the history of Patrick to assassinate his character.”
