Doug Evans, the racist suspect DA who Falsely Prosecuted Curtis Flowers 6X for Murder and Routinely Removed Black Jurors b/c They were Black, Loses Election for Judgeship

From [HERE] Embattled longtime prosecutor Doug Evans, who tried Curtis Flowers six times for murder and saw his convictions overturned on appeal, lost his bid to become judge for the 5th Circuit Court (article available here(link is external)).

As a circuit court judge, Evans could hear criminal cases in the same district where the U.S. Supreme Court said he prevented Black people from serving as jurors(link is external), including in Flowers’ case. 

Evans, who has been the district attorney of the district for over 30 years, first tried Flowers in 1997 for the killings of four people at the Tardy Furniture store in Winona. 

Evans secured four death penalty convictions for Flowers, but those were overturned by state and federal courts. In two trials, a jury didn’t reach a unanimous verdict. 

Evans recused himself after the Mississippi Center for Justice, which represented Flowers, asked for him to be removed from the case. Attorney General Lynn Fitch was appointed as the lead prosecutor.

In September 2020, Fitch’s office dropped charges against Flowers after he spent 23 years in prison, most of it on death row at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. 

In 2021, Flowers sued Evans in federal court for misconduct. A federal judge ordered the case stayed until May 1, 2023.

Lawsuit claims New York law disqualifying felons from jury duty is discriminatory

From [HERE] The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) Thursday filed a class action lawsuit to challenge Section 510(3) of the New York Judiciary Law, which disqualifies people convicted of felonies from serving on juries, no matter the nature of the offense or how long ago the convictions occurred.

The civil rights action challenges what the NYCLU calls “mass disenfranchisement of Black people— especially Black men—from the state court jury pool in Manhattan.” The lawsuit alleges that Section 510(3) has been applied alongside decades of racially biased policing and prosecutorial practices to lead to an overall underrepresentation of black people, and black men in particular, on juries.

According to the NYCLU, the disparity is rooted in racist policies and practices throughout the past half-century, including disparate drug enforcement, broken-windows policing and the New York City Police Department’s unconstitutional stop-and-frisk program. The NYCLU estimates that Section 510(3) likely excludes from jury service more than one out of every four otherwise jury-eligible Black residents of New York County. For otherwise-eligible Black men, the exclusion is, “even more devastating,” disqualifying likely more than 40 percent.

The suit argues that this reduction in jury diversity compromises the quality of deliberations, erodes public confidence in the fairness of the jury system, hampers successful reintegration into society and violates the class’s Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

3 Black St. Louis Puppeticians Sentenced to Prison for Taking Federal Bribes

From [HERE] and [HERE] Three former St. Louis aldermen have been sentenced for their roles in a federal bribery scheme.

Former Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed and former aldermen Jeffrey Boyd and John Collins-Muhammad were all handed prison sentences Tuesday afternoon at the Thomas F. Eagleton U.S. Courthouse. Each had pleaded guilty in August to federal theft and bribery charges, but they were each asking the judge not to sentence them to any jail time.

Collins-Muhammad was sentenced to 45 months in federal prison, with three years of supervised release afterward. He must also pay back $19,500 in bribes he accepted from an undercover FBI informant.

Boyd was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison, one month less than the maximum recommended under advisory guidelines, plus three years probation. The judge assessed a fine of $23,000.

Reed was sentenced to 45 months in prison plus three years probation and was fined $18,500.

The sentencings came a week after photos were released that showed all three aldermen taking thousands of dollars in bribes from an undercover FBI informant.

In a sentencing memo, the U.S. Attorney’s office shared that the three violated the public trust, and they should be justly punished. The sentences will be handed down by Judge Stephen Clark at the Eagleton Courthouse in downtown St. Louis.

The U.S. Attorney’s office said that according to sentencing guidelines, Reed and Collins-Muhammad should each face 37 to 46 months in prison for their roles in the pay-to-play schemes, while Boyd should receive 30 to 37 months behind bars.

Images released by federal prosecutors show all three city leaders receiving cash payments or other gifts.

Reed, Collins-Muhammad, and Boyd all resigned their positions on the Board of Aldermen and pleaded guilty to federal bribery-related charges in August.

Boyd also pleaded guilty to insurance fraud in a separate case.

Reed, Collins-Muhammad, and Boyd all said that they took thousands of dollars in exchange for political favors.

The sentencing memo from the U.S. Attorney’s office reads, “This case presents a picture of greed, pure and simple.” “These defendants sold their elected offices in exchange for cash bribes, campaign donations, and other things of value with total disregard for the best interests of their constituents – the real victims in this case.”

It goes on to read, “Our public officials should be held accountable for their criminal conduct by appropriate prison sentences; the victim citizens deserve it, and fairness and justice require it.”

To be Clear Racist Suspect Alabama AG States: ​“There's No Moratorium on Capital Punishment [means Murders of Mostly Black Inmates by Authorities-Death Row is 50% Black, although AL is Only 18% Black]

From [HERE] During a December 5, 2022 press conference, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (pictured) discussed the state’s review of its lethal injection process, rejecting the media’s characterization of it as a “moratorium” on executions and urging that the review be carried out quickly. Governor Kay Ivey announced a “top-to-bottom review” of the state’s execution protocol on November 21, 2022, after two executions in a two-month period had to be called off when executioner were unable to set intravenous lines. 

“I stand before you today to be very clear that, so far as I and my office are concerned, there is no moratorium nor will there be on capital punishment in Alabama,” Marshall said. He called for a swift review, saying, “there is a timeliness for this to occur.” “In the last few weeks, I’ve seen some pronouncements that somehow or another we have a so-called moratorium on executions in Alabama,” Marshall said. “And I will tell you that that characterization came as a great surprise to me. Because there’s only two parties involved in setting an execution in Alabama. That’s me as attorney general and our Alabama Supreme Court.” 

Ivey’s November 21 press release did not use the term “moratorium,” but explicitly requested “that the attorney general not seek additional execution dates for any other death row inmates until the top-to-bottom review is complete.” Later that day, Marshall withdrew two pending motions, which had sought to set an execution date for James Barber and a new execution date for Alan Miller, whose initial September execution was aborted. On November 30, the state agreed not to make further attempts to execute Miller by lethal injection, but may still seek to execute him by nitrogen hypoxia.

Marshall did not directly respond to questions about whether he would refrain from seeking additional execution dates while the investigation was under way. “What you simply heard was the governor ask for a delay to be able to investigate what could be done better within the execution protocol. And so we look forward to having any conversation with her about that,” he said.

Dr Joseph Lee: COVID Injections are Medicines Not Vaccines. We Don't Give Medicines to People Who Aren't Sick b/c of the Risk-Benefit Ratio. mRNA Shots Should be Re-Studied, FDA Approval Revoked

Suit Claims Pfizer knew Chantix contained human carcinogen

From [HERE] Pfizer is facing a class action lawsuit alleging it knowingly sold Chantix despite the drug containing a human carcinogen. 

Timothy Bleeker, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint Nov. 14 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington against Pfizer Inc., alleging breach of express warranties, fraud and other claims. 

Bleeker alleges in his class action that Pfizer has "misbranded" its drug containing varenicline sold under the brand name Chantix and that the partial nicotine agonist drug is "not of the quality" that the company represents. Specifically, Bleeker claims that Pfizer fraudulently sold and marketed Chantix knowing the drug contained a "probable human carcinogen," N-nitroso-varenicline, and began recalling its varenicline-containing drugs in July of 2021 after FDA testing. 

He alleges that Pfizer's actions caused those trying to quit smoking to become exposed to carcinogens similar to those in cigarettes and that the company failed to disclose that the product contained  N-nitroso-varenicline and other nitrosamines that can cause tumors and liver and kidney damage according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 

The plaintiff and the class seek monetary relief, interest, trial by jury and all other just relief. They are represented by Deborah Nelson and Jeffrey Boyd of Nelson Boyd PLLC in Seattle.

Robert Kennedy’s Organization Files Motion to Prevent California From Punishing Doctors for Providing Truthful Information to the Public About the Dangers of COVID Injections

From [HERE] Attorneys for Children’s Health Defense (CHD) on Tuesday filed a motion for preliminary injunction in an effort to prevent California from punishing doctors for COVID-19 “misinformation” while CHD’s lawsuit challenging the state’s new law makes its way through the courts.

California Assembly Bill 2098 (AB 2098), signed into law on Sept. 30, subjects the state’s doctors to discipline — including the suspension of their medical licenses — for sharing “misinformation” or “disinformation” about COVID-19 with their patients.

The law is set to take effect Jan. 1, 2023. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for Jan. 17, 2023.

Attorneys Rick Jaffe, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., CHD chairman and chief litigation counsel,  and Mary Holland, CHD president and general counsel, filed the motion in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California on behalf of plaintiffs LeTrinh Hoang, D.O., Physicians for Informed Consent and Children’s Health Defense — California Chapter.

According to the motion:

“AB 2098 prohibits physicians from conveying information and advice to their patients about COVID-19, which the State of California believes to be inconsistent with the prevailing opinions of the U.S. public health authorities and the majority of the medical community.

“However, if the pandemic has taught the world anything, it teaches that the views and edicts of the U.S. public health and medical authorities have changed, sometimes quickly, dramatically, and often inconsistently.”

The plaintiffs requested the Osteopathic Medical Board of California be prohibited from investigating or sanctioning any osteopathic physician under Section 2270 pending the final judgment in CHD’s lawsuit.

One of the six declarations attached to the motion is from Dr. Sanjay Verma, whose expert declaration presents numerous examples of public health authorities having to walk back their recommendations.

The declaration also details “points of vagueness and the general unsuitability of using “contemporary scientific consensus” as a disciplinary criterion.

Verma’s overview of the public health response to the pandemic is broken down into nine distinct categories and appendices:

• Evolving and contradictory mask consensus.

• Changing and contradictory statements about the ability of the vaccines to prevent infection.

• Vaccine safety.

• Vaccine efficacy.

• Disparaging or underestimating natural immunity.

• Unvaccinated dying at 11 times greater than fully vaccinated.

• Examples of changes to the scientific consensus.

• Countries with different vaccine recommendations.

• Over-estimation of COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations.

“The Injunction motion is strengthened by Dr. Verma’s meticulously sourced chronology of the changing, contradictory edicts from U.S. public health authorities,” said Holland. “It is the highlight and, in my opinion, conclusively proves that the ‘contemporary scientific consensus’ is a moving target that is often later proved to be completely false.”

Holland added: “It is unconstitutional for the government to sanction physicians for running afoul of crazy quilt ‘science.’”

Other declarants provided personal stories detailing the harm they or their family members have suffered.

Shannen Pousada declared that for 29 years she worked as a nurse at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California. Last year, Kaiser required COVID-19 vaccination for employment.

Before her vaccination on Sept. 10, 2021, Pousada was in excellent health. Ten days after, she had a heart attack. Her Kaiser physicians repeatedly told her it was “misinformation” that the COVID-19 vaccine could cause heart attacks.

Kaiser doctors eventually admitted that the COVID-19 vaccination was the likely cause.

In her declaration, Pousada said:

“While there is a possibility my medical and legal situation can improve in 2023, if AB 2098 is deemed constitutional, that possibility is significantly diminished for me.

“And it would be even worse for people suffering COVID-19 vaccine injury in 2023 and beyond, because their physicians will not be willing to document their observation of so-called ‘misinformation’ necessary to resolution of legal claims.”

Plaintiff Hoang, a California-licensed osteopathic physician for more than 25 years, explained in her declaration some of the questions she is asked by patients and their families about issues related to COVID-19.

Sometimes her advice is supported by mainstream medical literature. However, she finds it difficult if not impossible to robotically parrot propaganda that does not reflect true evidence-based “scientific consensus.”

Often, Hoang said, her advice paints a more nuanced and personalized picture for her patients contemplating taking the vaccine or the boosters, but she is concerned that under the new law, she would put her license at risk.

Dr. Shira Miller, president of Physicians for Informed Consent, said in her declaration that physician speech is and will be chilled by AB 2098, in large part because of the vagueness and uncertainty in the law.

According to attorney Jaffe, “The science is evolving, and sometimes what the experts once held as gospel, turned out to be wrong. That is the fundamental truth of this case and that’s why I am confident the Court will stop the Osteopathic Medical Board of California from targeting doctor/patient speech.”

In their declarations, Debbie Hobel and Jamie Coker-Robertson demonstrated that AB 2098 is already having a negative impact. If patients can’t differentiate between truthful advice and canned information their doctor provides, this will lead to irreparable damage to the physician/patient relationship.

New Studies Suggest COVID Injected People are Infecting Unvaccinated People

From [HERE] Ever since the roll out of the experimental COVID-19 “vaccines” there has been abundant anecdotal evidence of “vaccine shedding,” where individuals who received one of the experimental mRNA injections were somehow also infecting those around them, even those who were unvaccinated.

Now there are some published studies that explain how the mechanism of this “shedding” might be happening, as well as evidence from Pfizer themselves according to their internal documents that they have been forced to release to the public.

One of those studies was published by Dr. Helene Banoun in the journal Infectious Disease Research.

Abstract

The massive COVID-19 vaccination campaign is the first time that mRNA vaccines havebeen used on a global scale. The mRNA vaccines correspond exactly to the definition of gene therapy of the American and European regulatory agencies. The  regulations require excretion studies of these drugs and their products (the translated proteins). These studies have not been  done for mRNA vaccines (nor for adenovirus vaccines). There are numerous reports of symptoms and pathologies identical to  the adverse effects of mRNA vaccines in unvaccinated persons in contact with freshly vaccinated persons. It is therefore  important to review the state of knowledge on the possible excretion of vaccine nano particles as well as mRNA and its product, the spike protein.

Vaccine mRNA-carrying lipid nano particles spread after injection throughout the  body according to available animal studies and vaccine mRNA (naked or in nano particles or innatural exosomes) is found in the bloodstream as well as vaccine spike in free form or encapsulated in exosomes (shown in human studies). Lipid nano particles (or their natural equivalent, exosomes or extracellular vesicles (EVs)) have been shown to be able to be excreted  through body fluids (sweat, sputum, breast milk) and to pass the transplacental barrier. These EVs are also able to penetrate by inhalation and through the skin (healthy or injured) as well as orally through breast milk (and why not during sexual intercourse through semen, as this has not been studied). It is urgent to enforce the legislation on gene therapy that applies to mRNA vaccines and to carry out studies on this subject while the generalization of mRNA vaccines is being considered.

Dr. Peter McCullough recently addressed this study.

From Dr. McCullough’s Substack Blog:

Health of Pure Bloods Threatened by Shedding of mRNA and Spike Protein

Why the Unvaccinated are Concerned about Close Contact with COVID-19 Vaccinated

One of the most common questions I am asked from the unvaccinated stems from concerns over “shedding.” Because the mRNA vaccines have been in development by the US Department of Defense DARPA since 2011, one would have expected that all of the necessary preclinical testing would have been completed before Operation Warp Speed was announced.

The 2015 FDA guidance on Gene Product Shedding Studies with gene therapies, which are defined as “all products that exert their effects by transcription and/or translation of transferred genetic material and/or by integration into the host genome and that are administered in the form of nucleic acids, viruses or genetically modified microorganisms”.

By this statement mRNA vaccines are indeed gene therapy products and should have been submitted to these excretion studies by DARPA funded researchers long ago.

Sadly, these careful development steps were skipped from the beginning in our military-style vaccine development program, and now the public is grappling with the issue of nucleic acid and Spike protein shedding as a potential concern among those who have worked so hard to remain healthy and free of COVID-19 vaccination.

In the most comprehensive paper on shedding thus far, former Inserm researcher Dr. Helene Banoun has published the basis for which there is great likelihood that mRNA either on lipid nanoparticles or within exosomes is circulatory in blood and is secreted in every body secretion that would naturally expect to contain particles of this size.

Fertig et al, have shown mRNA is circulatory in blood for at least two weeks with no reduction in concentration out to that time point. Likewise, Hanna et al, have found mRNA within breast milk.

Less data exist on Spike protein shedding but it is not a far stretch to understand this is well within the realm of reality. The pivotal questions are: 1) for how long is a recently vaccinated person at risk to shed on to others? 2) can shed mRNA be taken up by the recipient and begin to produce Spike protein just like vaccination? 3) can shed Spike protein cause disease as it does in the vaccinated (e.g. myocarditis, blood clots, etc.)?

It’s time for the lapses by DOD BARDA and NIH BARDA, to immediately be corrected by those agencies funding the necessary independent shedding studies to ensure the public safety of those who wisely deferred on COVID-19 vaccination.

This research should preferably be conducted while the current products are paused and taken off to market to protect others at risk. Until then, we simply cannot answer these questions for those who sacrificed so much to remain “pure-blood.” (Full article.)

Never 2 Old to Be Niggerized in a Police State: White Denver SWAT Cops Looking for Stolen Car “Found Nothing to Connect Ms Johnson (age 77) to Criminal Activity but Left her Home Damaged, in Disarray"

HEY, WHATS GOING ON IN DENVER, A CITY DOMINATED BY WHITE LIBERAL POLITICS?? FUCK THE POLICE AND FUCK RACISM WHITE SUPREMACY.

From [HERE] and [HERE] A Denver SWAT team, wearing body armor and wielding automatic weapons, carried out a “terrifying hours-long search” at an elderly woman’s home on January 4, bodycam footage released by the ACLU of Colorado shows. The footage shows officers arriving in an armored vehicle and ordering 77-year-old Ruby Johnson, a retired postal worker and grandmother, out of her home. Chuckles are heard in the video as Johnson – who was wearing a bathrobe and bonnet, according to court documents – comes out and tells officers she is home alone. The footage then shows police searching Johnson’s house.

The ACLU said that police “found nothing to connect Ms Johnson or her home to any criminal activity whatsoever, but they left her home damaged, in disarray and caused Ms Johnson physical and emotional harm that persists to this day” and that Johnson “no longer feels safe in her own home." Local news outlets reported that Denver Police were searching for a stolen truck that they were told had “two drones, six firearms, $4,000 cash, and an old iPhone 11 inside.” A detective submitted a search warrant “relying on the ‘Find My’ app” that suggested the phone may have been in Johnson’s home, according to reports.

The ACLU said in a press release on Wednesday, November 30, that they filed a lawsuit against Denver Police Detective Gary Staab, accusing him of “unjustifiably violating the privacy and security of Ms Johnson’s home by hastily seeking, obtaining, and executing a search warrant without proper investigation, adequate facts, and legal justification, in violation of the Colorado Constitution.” Local TV station KDVR published a statement from Denver police spokesman Jay Casillas that said: “The Department of Public Safety and Denver Police Department (DPD) sincerely apologize to Ms Johnson for any negative impacts this situation may have had on her. SWAT was involved in the execution of the warrant due to allegations that six guns had been stolen and may have been located in Ms Johnson’s home.” Chief Ron Thomas ordered an internal investigation and DPD said they hoped to resolve the matter “without further litigation,” KDVR reported.

Medical Examiner Ruled Bickings’ Death Accidental but White Cops Just Watched the Black Man Drown. $3M Suit Filed Against Tempe, but Cops Have No Duty to Protect Anyone per 'the Public Duty Doctrine'

From [HERE] The family of a Black man who jumped into a lake and drowned to avoid answering questions from police plans to file a $3 million wrongful death lawsuit against the city.

The notice of claim, which was filed on Dec. 8, accused the Tempe Fire Department (TFD), the City of Tempe, the Tempe Police Department (TPD), and Tempe Town Lake of negligence that the family said resulted in the May 28 death of 34-year-old Sean Bickings, KNXV reported.

A report for the medical examiner’s office ruled Bickings’ death was an accidental drowning, with methamphetamine intoxication listed as a contributory cause, according to KSAZ.

According to the Tempe city government, police responded to a reported disturbance involving Sean Bickings, 34, and his wife. According to police, when they arrived, they spoke to Bickings and his companion, who cooperated fully and denied that any physical argument had taken place. Neither were being detained for any offense.

While police ran the couple’s names through a database to check for outstanding warrants, for some reason Bickings “decided to slowly climb over a 4-foot metal fence and enter the water” in Tempe Town Lake, according to a statement from the city. Police informed him that swimming wasn’t allowed in the lake — but Bickings wasn’t swimming — he was drowning.

As Bickings begged for help, he drifted away as police watched from safety. He would eventually go under and never resurface. Tempe Fire’s Dive and Rescue team would later find his body.

City Manager Andrew Ching and Police Chief Jeff Glover referred to Bickings’ death as a tragedy in the city’s statement. But it was more than that. It was a fatal reminder that police have no legal duty to protect life.

As FOX29 reports, in a transcript of conversations released by Tempe Police, an officer, only identified as ‘Officer 1,’ was noted as telling Bickings that he won’t be going into the lake.

“I’m drowning,” Bickings, noted as ‘victim’ in the transcript, said.

“Come back over to the pylon,” an officer, noted as ‘Officer 2′ in the transcript, said.

“I can’t. I can’t (inaudible),” said Bickings.

“OK, I’m not jumping in after you,” said Officer 1.

Instead of jumping in after Bickings, the officer threatened to detain his wife for being frantic.

“If you don’t calm down, I’m going to put you in my car,” the officer stated.

“I’m just distraught because he’s drowning right in front of him and you won’t help,” she said.

For several more minutes, Bickings’ wife begged the officers for help until he finally stayed under, never resurfacing.

According to the city’s statement, Tempe has asked the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and Scottsdale Police to examine the Tempe Police response to the drowning.

The three Tempe police officers who responded to the call and witnessed the drowning have been placed on non-disciplinary paid administrative leave pending the investigations, as is customary in critical incidents.

According to the Supreme Court police have no legal duty to protected any victim from violence by other private parties unless the victim was in police custody. [MORE] and [MORE] This means that police cannot be sued for any federal constitutional claim for a failure to protect citizens. Unless a state negligence law exists allowing such a lawsuit, victims cannot hold police liable for a failure to protect from harm from private parties.

The only legal question for victims such as the ones in Ulvalde is whether the students were in the “custody” of the government during the “massacre.” In other mass shootings such as Parkland where a failure to protect children was claimed, the court ruled that students were not in “custody” and dismissed all claims against the police for a failure to protect students. Other victims such as the alleged victims in the Buffalo Supermarket were not in custody and therefore they would have no claims for a failure to protect. Said legal precedent applies regardless of circumstances such as whether police were present or aware of dangers - the Supreme Court has held that police have no legal duty to protect.

The case of Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (1981), in which police were present and should have been aware of danger to the victims, clearly articulates the public duty doctrine. The facts were as follows:

In the early morning hours of March 16, 1975, appellants Carolyn Warren, Joan Taliaferro, and Miriam Douglas were asleep in their rooming house at 1112 Lamont Street, N.W. Warren and Taliaferro shared a room on the third floor of the house; Douglas shared a room on the second floor with her four-year-old daughter. The women were awakened by the sound of the back door being broken down by two men later identified as Marvin Kent and James Morse. The men entered Douglas' second floor room, where Kent forced Douglas to sodomize him and Morse raped her. Warren and Taliaferro heard Douglas' screams from the floor below. Warren telephoned the police, told the officer on duty that the house was being burglarized, and requested immediate assistance. The department employee told her to remain quiet and assured her that police assistance would be dispatched promptly. Warren's call was received at Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters at 6:23 a. m., and was recorded as a burglary in progress. At 6:26 a. m., a call was dispatched to officers on the street as a "Code 2" assignment, although calls of a crime in progress should be given priority and designated as "Code 1." Four police cruisers responded to the broadcast; three to the Lamont Street address and one to another address to investigate a possible suspect.

Meanwhile, Warren and Taliaferro crawled from their window onto an adjoining roof and waited for the police to arrive. While there, they saw one policeman drive through the alley behind their house and proceed to the front of the residence without stopping, leaning out the window, or getting out of the car to check the back entrance of the house. A second officer apparently knocked on the door in front of the residence, but left when he received no answer. The three officers departed the scene at 6:33 a. m., five minutes after they arrived.

Warren and Taliaferro crawled back inside their room. They again heard Douglas' continuing screams; again called the police; told the officer that the intruders had entered the home, and requested immediate assistance. Once again, a police officer assured them that help was on the way. This second call was received at 6:42 a. m. and recorded merely as "investigate the trouble" — it was never dispatched to any police officers.

Believing the police might be in the house, Warren and Taliaferro called down to Douglas, thereby alerting Kent to their presence. Kent and Morse then forced all three women, at knifepoint, to accompany them to Kent's apartment. For the next fourteen hours the women were held captive, raped, robbed, beaten, forced to commit sexual acts upon each other, and made to submit to the sexual demands of Kent and Morse.

Denying all claims of liability against the government and the police for a failure to protect the victims the court explained,

“the District of Columbia appears to follow the well established rule that official police personnel and the government employing them are not generally liable to victims of criminal acts for failure to provide adequate police protection.

This uniformly accepted rule rests upon the fundamental principle that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular individual citizen.

A publicly maintained police force constitutes a basic governmental service provided to benefit the community at large by promoting public peace, safety and good order. The extent and quality of police protection afforded to the community necessarily depends upon the availability of public resources and upon legislative or administrative determinations concerning allocation of those resources. Riss v. City of New York, supra. The public, through its representative officials, recruits, trains, maintains and disciplines its police force and determines the manner in which personnel are deployed. At any given time, publicly furnished police protection may accrue to the personal benefit of individual citizens, but at all times the needs and interests of the community at large predominate. Private resources and needs have little direct effect upon the nature of police services provided to the public. Accordingly, courts have without exception concluded that when a municipality or other governmental entity undertakes to furnish police services, it assumes a duty only to the public at large and not to individual members of the community.”

The Supreme Court has also ruled that police are not liable under the Due Process clause for a failure to protect even where the police are have adopted a department policy of non-action. In Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748 (2005), the Court explained that police have broad discretion to arrest people whenever they want to; even when a court’s restraining order has explicitly ordered the arrest of a violator (as it did in that case) the police have discretion as to whether they will or not arrest.

'What Police showed us has been put together to control the narrative, we need the unfiltered truth.' St Paul Conceals Full Video of Cop Shooting Black Man to Death, Offer Remix, Claim He Had Gun

From [HERE] Edited officer and squad vehicle video released Thursday shows Howard Peter Johnson's final moments in the encounter where he was shot and killed by a St. Paul police sergeant, the footage showing him apparently pointing a gun in the officer's direction and firing.

The BCA said it would not release officer body camera, squad car or surveillance footage until the case is "closed and fully adjudicated." Family members were told that could take up to three months.

The edited video from Sgt. Cody Blanshan's body-worn camera shows a muzzle flash from the handgun held by Johnson, 24, when Blanshan fires, striking Johnson. The release of the footage came three days after the shooting amid calls from Johnson's family for transparency by investigators.

Johnson died at Regions Hospital of a gunshot wound. Blanshan, a 10-year veteran of the St. Paul force, was not wounded during the Monday evening confrontation near Earl Street and Hudson Road. Officers had responded to a domestic assault call and Blanshan encountered Johnson armed with a handgun.

At a news conference following the release of the video, Police Chief Axel Henry declined to discuss specifics, saying, "The sanctity of the independent investigation is something we must honor and respect to ensure the public remains confident with the entire process."

"I think the video speaks for itself," he said. "But I certainly haven't done a forensic exam of any of it, and I don't want to make judgments about a case that I'm not personally involved with."

The department-provided clip, running two minutes and 45 seconds, shows footage from Blanshan's body camera as he sits in the front seat of the squad car shortly after 6 p.m.

" He's right there … he's walking eastbound ... got the gun in his right hand, he's pointing it at a car, he's trying to carjack right now," Blanshan radios as he accelerates the squad. The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), which is investigating the shooting, says that at this point the sergeant struck Johnson with the vehicle, knocking him to the ground.

Blanshan flings open his door yelling, "Don't do it!" before at least 10 gunshots can be heard on the video, and Johnson, who had been standing, drops to the ground with what appears to be a gun at his side.

Although the clip is brief, dark and blurry, the video shows what appears to be a gun in Johnson's right hand pointed over his left shoulder as he turns away, along with a muzzle flash before he falls to the ground.

Dash camera footage from another squad car at the scene provided a different perspective, although it was farther away. Henry said Blanshan's squad car was not equipped with a dash camera and that video from his partner's squad may be released.

Blanshan remains on standard administrative leave.

Kenneth Manning, Johnson's stepfather, said the release of Thursday's video did not meet the family's call for transparency.

"We would like to see all the video, including the video from the [sergeant's] car that did the shooting, and if there wasn't a camera on that car, then we need to know why that car was allowed to be involved in the situation in the [first] place," Manning said. "We need to see all the footage available clean and unedited. What they showed us has been put together to control the narrative, but what we need is the unfiltered truth."

A BCA spokesperson said they are still reviewing footage to learn who fired first.

The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office filed a warrant for Johnson's arrest on Sept. 23 after he failed to show up for a court hearing on a felony domestic assault charge from March. That charge alleged Johnson hit his girlfriend in the face while she was driving in St. Paul. The criminal complaint noted that up to the time of the alleged assault, Johnson had seven other convictions related to domestic violence in the previous 10 years.

Family members defended Johnson in a news conference Wednesday and demanded that the city release video from the shooting. 

His mother, Monique Johnson, said Wednesday: "I want the video footage from the businesses that were there, from the cop's cams, from the dashboard footage, I want it all. I'm entitled to that. That is my child. I deserve to know what happened to him."

Howard Johnson was the father of twin sons.

Personnel records released this week by the Police Department reveal that Blanshan, 38, joined the department in 2013 working in the Eastern and Central districts and was promoted to sergeant last year.

Miami Beach Settles Case with Black Man for Only $130k: Cops Elbowed Him 5 Times in the Face and Dragged HimAcross Stret While Handcuffed

From [HERE] A Miami Beach police officer elbowed a Black tourist in the face multiple times during a 2019 arrest, seemingly knocking him unconscious and triggering a lawsuit the city has now settled for $130,000, according to documents and video footage obtained by the Miami Herald.

Cody Wade, a 29-year-old North Carolina man, sued the city and two officers in federal court over an incident that began with security at Mango’s Tropical Cafe on Ocean Drive asking police to escort Wade away from the nightclub due to “disorderly behavior,” and ended with police tackling and handcuffing him after he ran across the street minutes later. While Wade was on the ground, Officer Alfredo Garcia delivered about five consecutive blows to the side of Wade’s face, body-worn camera footage shows. Garcia and Officer Agustin Rodriguez then dragged Wade to the sidewalk, where he lay apparently unconscious until paramedics arrived. Wade was unconscious for approximately 12 minutes, according to documents filed in court by his attorneys. Photographs in the court record show a large bruise on his right cheek after the incident.

Garcia and Officer Agustin Rodriguez then dragged Wade to the sidewalk, where he lay apparently unconscious until paramedics arrived. Wade was unconscious for approximately 12 minutes, according to documents filed in court by his attorneys. Photographs in the court record show a large bruise on his right cheek after the incident.

A doctor serving as an expert witness in the case said Wade suffered a traumatic brain injury and later experienced “severe” post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the arrest. “In our view, this case did not call for the manner and extent of force used on our client,” Jordan Redavid, an attorney for Wade, said in a statement. “We are satisfied that the settlement amounts to some semblance of justice.” Wade could not be reached directly for comment. He lives in Charlotte, according to a police report, and was visiting South Florida by himself in 2019 for a vacation and to see an aunt in Miramar.

The Miami Beach City Commission approved the settlement in September. The lawsuit was dismissed last month. WHAT THE FOOTAGE SHOWS Before officers arrested Wade on June 28, 2019, body camera footage shows they spoke to him outside Mango’s and repeatedly told him to leave the area and not return to the club, or else face arrest. Wade, who later acknowledged he was drunk at the time, argued with the officers for several minutes before they told him he was free to go. In a police recording taken moments later, Wade is seen running east across Ocean Drive, away from Mango’s and toward the officers, who were walking in his direction. The officers take him to the ground and put him in handcuffs, accusing him of resisting arrest as Garcia delivers the elbow blows to his face.

A police report says the officers had seen Wade trying to re-enter Mango’s after their initial encounter. The report accuses Wade of running to try to evade the officers as they sought to arrest him for trespassing. Wade’s lawsuit says he was “leaving the area of the establishment” but doesn’t say why he was running. After handcuffing Wade, footage shows the officers dragging his unconscious body to the sidewalk. Wade is slumped over for several minutes as the officers urge him to sit up. Paramedics arrived about 10 minutes later and took Wade to Mount Sinai Hospital for evaluation before police brought him to jail for booking.

Court records show paramedics administered Narcan to Wade in the ambulance, suspecting he may have experienced an opiate overdose. Wade denied taking drugs that night, according to a deposition filed in court. Wade was charged with a felony count of violently resisting an officer and misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and trespassing after a warning, but prosecutors dropped the felony charge one month later and declined to pursue the other charges in October 2019, according to court records. A Miami Beach police spokesman did not respond to an inquiry about whether an internal affairs investigation was conducted on the officers’ use of force. In court documents, Miami Beach police argued the use of force was justified, calling Garcia’s elbows to Wade’s face “reactionary blows” that were delivered as Wade was allegedly resisting arrest. “The elbow strikes delivered by Officer Garcia proved to be effective in subduing Plaintiff’s resistance,” attorneys for the officers said in a court filing. PART OF A PATTERN? Wade’s lawsuit says he was “viciously brutalized” — reflecting “a dangerous environment of police brutality” within the Miami Beach Police Department. “It is a longstanding [practice] to permit officers to use excessive force against individuals when such use is unnecessary and unjustified,” the lawsuit says. That argument didn’t pass muster in federal court: U.S. District Judge Robert N. Scola Jr. dismissed a part of the suit alleging systemic problems in the police department, saying the complaint failed to identify a specific faulty policy or establish a widespread pattern of abuse. Still, the incident is one of several in recent years to prompt criticism of use-of-force tactics by Miami Beach police, particularly in their treatment of Black people. Last year, five Miami Beach officers were arrested for using excessive force on a Black man in handcuffs and for pummeling a Black bystander who was recording the incident. A $119,000 settlement of a lawsuit by the bystander, Khalid Vaughn of New York, was approved at the same September commission meeting at which Wade’s settlement was addressed. In another lawsuit that was expanded earlier this week, New York woman Mariyah Maple claims a group of Miami Beach officers “conspired” to arrest her last year after she was pepper-sprayed under a city law that has been criticized as targeting Black visitors who make video recordings of police. “Miami Beach is a remarkable place, which is why so many people visit it each year, and also why policing it surely has its challenges,” said Redavid, the attorney for Wade. “But that’s not a license to use excessive force — especially where a subject has not harmed anyone, is unarmed, and presents no legitimate or imminent risk of harm to person or property.”

Fellow Officer tells Jury that Killer-White-Cop Never Mentioned "Gun" before He Fatally Shot Black Woman Playing Video Games w/Her 8 Yr Old Nephew During Warrantless Entry Into Her House

From [HERE] The police partner of a former Fort Worth, Texas, officer on trial for murder in the 2019 death of Atatiana Jefferson testified Tuesday that Aaron Dean never said he saw someone with a firearm the night he shot and killed Jefferson in her home.

Officer Carol Darch and Dean had been responding to a call at Jefferson’s home when Dean, who is white, fatally shot Jefferson, a 28-year-old Black woman who was playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew.

During questioning from the prosecution, Darch testified that Dean never said the word “gun” or that he saw someone with a firearm before he shot her or after they went inside and searched the home.

Darch said Dean took the lead as they approached the house and moved toward Jefferson’s backyard. She said the two of them thought they might be at the scene of a burglary and did not announce themselves.

Dean and Darch went to the home after a concerned [white] neighbor noticed a door had been left ajar and called a nonemergency police line. Jefferson, according to court documents, was playing video games and caring for her 8-year-old nephew, Zion Carr. According to police and body camera footage, Dean failed to identify himself before firing his weapon and striking Jefferson.

Zion, who is now 11, testified Monday that the screen doors were open after he and his aunt burned hamburgers they had planned to eat for dinner. The two then continued to play video games into the night.

Zion said his aunt pulled out her gun and kept it at her side after hearing noises outside, both of them unaware police had been called to the home.

Darch said when she turned around she did not see Jefferson's gun and could only see Jefferson’s face in the window with “eyes as big as saucers.”

Darch said that when they went into the room where Jefferson had been shot, she saw Zion crying and wrapped him in a blanket and took him outside.

“I heard the baby and that became my sole focus,” she said.

Darch cried as she spoke about being concerned for the boy’s well-being and asked the judge to pause her testimony.

Dean’s lawyers have said Dean acted reasonably while responding to what he believed might have been a burglary in progress. LOL.

James Smith, the neighbor who called police that night, also testified Tuesday and said he had received a call from his family members around 2 a.m. expressing concern for his neighbors because they had seen a front door and a side door open at Jefferson’s house.

Smith said he called the nonemergency line and not 911 because he was not sure what was happening.

"It did not appear to be an emergency,” he said.

Smith said it was “devastating” to learn Jefferson had been shot by police and that he lives with the consequences of his phone call and Jefferson’s death “every day, every day.” He said he feels “somewhat” responsible for it.

Dean, who resigned from the Fort Worth Police Department before his arrest, was indicted by a Texas grand jury in December 2019 on a murder charge.

Jefferson graduated from Xavier University with a degree in chemistry. She returned home after college to help family with health issues and was planning to attend medical school.
