Lost Trust w/Racist Gov: Black Councilwoman asks Racist Suspect Feds to Investigate Ralph Yarl Shooting: White Cops Failed to Arrest, White DA Delayed Charging White Man who Tried to Murder Black Teen

From [HERE] In a letter last week, Black Kansas City councilwoman Melissa Robinson explained to federal prosecutors why she and other Black leaders do not trust Kansas City police and are asking for an outside investigation of the shooting Ralph Yarl.

As Robinson described in the April 17 letter to U.S. Attorney Teresa A. Moore, Yarl, a Black teen, was shot and seriously injured by a white man when he went to the wrong house to pick up his siblings in a Northland neighborhood four days earlier.

The shooting angered many in Kansas City and across the country, with many feeling race played a role in the slowness of local law enforcement to arrest and charge a white man for shooting a Black teenager.

The accused shooter, 84-year-old Andrew D. Lester of Kansas City, North, was released by police within two hours of being taken into custody after the shooting. Four days passed before Clay County prosecutors charged him with first-degree assault and armed criminal action and he surrendered himself at the county jail.

In her letter, Robinson, who represents the Third District which includes neighborhoods on the city’s East Side, explained that many Black residents had already lost trust in Kansas City police. She asked the federal prosecutor in Kansas City to pursue a hate crime investigation.

“This situation scares me, quite frankly,” Robinson wrote. “The uprising I could feel during the period when the suspect had yet to be charged was frightening. Kansas City needs this investigation to be thorough and done right . . . we need assurances of such. Specifically, Black citizens need to feel confident that we cannot be ‘hunted’ in this City.” “It would greatly help the confidence of Kansas City, specifically the many residents that have learned a distrust for KCPD, if your office was willing to step in and conduct a hate crime investigation,” Robinson wrote. “I personally would be very grateful as I have two young black boys myself. I believe the community needs federal help and support at such a critical moment.” [MORE]

Over thirty years ago Dr. Frances Cress Welsing warned Black sheople:

“…Black people everywhere must begin to understand why the Black collective, and Black males in particular, have been under intensive attack for the past 2,000 years. Indeed, Jesus was a Black male who was lynched by uniformed white male Roman soldiers 2,000 years ago, as a result of the same war that has continued into the present day extension of the same Roman (white) empire.

Whenever there is a sense of increased vulnerability within the local and/or global white collective - as, for example, caused by inflation (currency devaluation), unemployment, loss of a war or counter-struggle by non-white peoples (e.g., Arabs controlling and limiting oil supplies, Iranians taking white hostages, Black guerillas struggling in southern Africa and the loss of the Vietnam War) - there will be an increase of the ever-present "normal" daily slaughter and murder of Black and other non-white males by those both legally and illegally authorized to do so. This murder and slaughter will be logically viewed as justified within the specific logic framework of the fear of white genetic annihilation.

Within the historic framework of Western civilization and culture (the civilization and culture organized to prevent white genetic annihilation), all white peoples have the spoken or unspoken mandate to participate actively in their collective struggle for global white genetic survival. This specifically means, of necessity, the murder and slaughter of Black and other non-white males whenever it is felt within the white collective to be necessary and, therefore, justified.” [MORE]

From [HERE] Susan Rice, President Biden’s top domestic policy adviser, is departing the administration, the White House said Monday.

Ms. Rice, a longtime foreign-policy expert, has led the White House Domestic Policy Council since the start of the administration, helping coordinate with federal agencies on a broad variety of issues, including economic mobility, healthcare, gun control and immigration. Her last day will be May 26, an administration official said.

In a statement, President Biden thanked Ms. Rice for her service, saying, “​​there is no one more capable, and more determined to get important things done for the American people than Susan Rice.”  

He praised Ms. Rice for her work on health policy, including on lowering prescription drug prices for seniors.

In a tweet, Ms. Rice said she was “so proud of all we have been able to accomplish together for the American people.” [MORE]

Yup. Exactly. “Black” rolebots and borgs working on behalf of white liberals deliver nothing of material value to Black communities - they work on behalf of “the American people.” Here, that means solving white liberals’ problems.

About twenty years ago Norman Kelley observed that black people had become political weaklings, “complicit in their own political emasculation.” At one time Black Americans forcefully argued for their own seat at the table but now in their relations with Democrats they function like trained seals or dogs that “bark and clap” at election time and shut-up afterwards. Black people, once envied and imitated by people seeking freedom throughout the world are now demobilized and have no effective political organizations, no real leaders and “black politics” is literally void of any actual substance.

An army of thousands of black elected and selected rolebots like Rice at all levels of government are not engaged in any “black politics” and have no “black political philosophy,” no “Black agenda” or black messaging or organizing and no explanation to account for the system of racism white supremacy affecting black people’s lives or any response to the war being waged on law abiding Black people by police. Said black puppeticians have non-white skin and black chromosomes but for all non-cosmetic purposes they are interchangeable with their white liberal counterparts. “Blackness” and “black politics” has come to mean ‘not Republican’ and not much else. Black politics has gone from being aggressively results oriented and highly organized to being tame, reactionary activity channelled into voting for the Democratic Party and its grimacing white liberal and black borg candidates.

As explained by Kelley ‘Democrats offer only boilerplate liberalism and no legislative initiative, no substantial policy initiatives that benefit African-Americans.“ No real agenda drives politics beyond having the Democratic candidate show up.” ‘Democrats don’t stand for anything in regard to Blacks; black people are voting against republicans but not for Democrats. Similarly, Robert Smith observed what is striking about any so-called ‘black agenda’ is that it is not really black. That is, relatively few items are race specific.’

Elite whites and their Black probots are quick to remind anyone that “Black voters are not a monolith, and their attitudes differ based on upbringing, geography and other factors.” Such an overstatement purposefully misses the point. No group of people is a monolith; obviously individuals are not the group. But black people are not white people – and white people are not subjected to the system of racism white supremacy. Nor are police waging any war against white liberals. Have you checked out the Urban League’s 2022 State of Black America? Blacks are three-fifths along the way to experiencing equal status with White Americans. The Black-White disparity persists across virtually every line or indicator of life and quality of life in the US. Black people occupy the bottom of nearly every statistical category of life. [MORE] White liberals’ ad-hoc menu of political concerns have little to do with the realities of daily life Black people face. Democrats have no messaging or even an explanation for racism white supremacy, no theory to account for ongoing police abuse. Fantastically, racist suspect liberals have deceived Black people into believing the system of racism white supremacy is a system of bigotry, unchecked mean words, name calling and disrespect. The apparent goal here must be to force racists, deluded psychopathic people who are the permanent enemies of Black people and who believe in an imaginary human hierarchy, to be quiet until they clean up their language and ‘to stop hate’ by individually transforming them through moral suasion. Such ‘turn the other cheek politics’ belong in another context, have nothing to do with reality [racism white supremacy] and should be buried along with John Lewis’ corpse. Said vested interests cleverly push the belief that racism is words not organized-team conduct by white people and that racial disparity occurs automatically as simply the by product of an invisible system with anonymous, unconsciously acting actors. Like the jails just stay overcrowded with Blacks by default and not through the intentional conduct of white liberal judges, police, prosecutors, jurors and probation officers.

Racist, white liberals have no intention of ever helping Blacks neutralize white supremacy – it would undo their own hustle; maintaining master-servant relations while convincing gullible blacks that racism white supremacy is bigotry. Naturally, boilerplate liberalism fails to address racism white supremacy and all its symptomatic problems such as poverty, economic discrimination, lack of economic development, Mcjob employment, underemployment, drug addiction, infant mortality, AIDS, chronic welfare dependency, lack of affordable housing, homelessness, servant education, the unequal administration of justice, police brutality, incarceration and more.

Black sheeple filled with anxiety are running around worrying about voting “rights” - yet voting for white liberals and their black rolebots has done nothing to neutralize the system of racism white supremacy.

To white liberals, Black people and their welfare are not the end of the electoral process but merely the means for winning. Recognegros like Susan Rice help create optics that look good to the gullible Black electorant who make no demands on their masters. Whether Susan Harris or other black rolebots ever deliver or even attempt to deliver any tangible, material benefits or economical empowerment or provide substantive justice to the Black community is beside the point. The Black electorant expects nothing in return for its vote. As explained by Kelley ‘Democrats know they will suffer no sanctions from disgruntled, obedient blacks,’ who are content to “bark and clap” during election and shut-up afterwards.

Quietly Published CDC Report Confirms Over 1.1 Million Americans have ‘Died Suddenly’ Since the COVID Vaccine Roll-Out

From [HERE] The Covid-19 injections were meant to reduce the sudden surge of deaths the USA recorded in 2020 due to the alleged Covid-19 pandemic. But unfortunately, the official figures prove that the opposite has happened.

Official reports quietly published by the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirm that over 6 million Americans have died ever since the U.S. Food & Drug Administration granted emergency use authorisation to a Covid-19 vaccine in December 2020; with 2021 being a record-breaking year for deaths.

This sadly means that at least 1.1 million Americans may have ‘died suddenly’ during this time frame because according to the CDC reports there have been 1,106,079 excess deaths compared to the 2015-2019 five-year average.

And with further official Government figures [from the UK] confirming that mortality rates per 100,000 are highest among the vaccinated population in every single age group, it would appear Covid-19 vaccination is almost entirely to blame. [MORE]

How are COVID Shots Affecting Mothers-To-Be? Data reveals a 27-fold higher risk of miscarriage and a more than twofold increased risk of adverse fetal outcomes across 6 different categories

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• Compared to the flu vaccine, COVID-19 shots are associated with a significant increase in adverse events among women of reproductive age

• Data revealed a 27-fold higher risk of miscarriage and a more than twofold increased risk of adverse fetal outcomes across six different categories following COVID-19 shots

• COVID-19 shot contents are biodistributed into the bloodstream within hours and cross “all physiologic barriers including the maternal-placental-fetal barrier and the blood brain barriers in both the mother and the fetus”

• Birth rates in multiple European countries fell significantly in the end of 2021, months after COVID-19 shots became widely utilized

• Researchers have called for the immediate suspension of COVID-19 vaccination for all persons of childbearing and reproductive age

From [HERE] and [PDF] While a typical vaccine must undergo 10 to 12 years of trials before it's released, during the pandemic, COVID-19 shots were made available to the public just 10 months after development, courtesy of an Emergency Use Authorization.1 Even pregnant women were subjected to the shots, and in many cases were mandated to receive them.

"The pushing of these experimental COVID-19 vaccines globally is the greatest violation of medical ethics in the history of medicine, maybe humanity," Dr. James Thorp, a maternal fetal medicine expert, told Tucker Carlson.2 Thorp and colleagues published a preprint study that found striking risks to pregnant women who received the shots, along with their unborn babies.3

The outcomes were so dire that the researchers concluded pregnant women should not receive COVID-19 shots until further research is completed. "A worldwide moratorium on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy is advised until randomized prospective trials document safety in pregnancy and long-term follow-up in offspring," they explained.4

COVID Shots Linked to 27-Fold Higher Risk of Miscarriage

Thorp and colleagues used data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) to assess adverse events experienced by women of reproductive age following receipt of a COVID-19 shot, compared to receipt of a flu shot. Compared to the flu vaccine, COVID-19 shots were associated with a significant increase in adverse events (AE), including:5

"When normalized by time-available, doses-given, or persons-received, all COVID-19 vaccine AE far exceed the safety signal on all recognized thresholds … Pregnancy and menstrual abnormalities are significantly more frequent following COVID-19 vaccinations than that of Influenza vaccinations," the researchers noted.6

Specifically, the data revealed a 27-fold higher risk of miscarriage and a more than twofold increased risk of adverse fetal outcomes across six different categories, according to board-certified internist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough.7

Were Nurses Issued Gag Order Against Speaking Out?

Problems began to appear shortly after COVID-19 shots were rolled out, such that a leaked email from a large California hospital was sent out in warning to 200 nurses. The email, from September 2022, contained the subject line, "Demise Handling," referring to an increase in stillbirths and fetal deaths. A TCW report by journalist Sally Beck shared the email's content, which read:8

"It seems as though the increase of demise patients [babies] that we are seeing is going to continue. There were 22 demises [stillbirths and fetal deaths] in August [2022], which ties [equals] the record number of demises in July 2021, and so far in September [2022] there have been 7 and it's only the 8th day of the month."

Beck reports that one nurse, Michelle Gershman, who works in the neonatal ward had her bonus withheld because she spoke out about the rise in fetal deaths. "We used to have one fetal demise per month. That rose to one or two per week," Gershman said. Beck reported:

"Her experience, and the experience of doctors working with pregnant women, is contrary to official 'safe and effective' observation and advice, but no one was free to speak out because of a gagging order imposed in September 20219 by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG).

… At the beginning of the rollout, in December 2020, pregnant women who were healthcare workers or deemed to be at risk from Covid began receiving the shots. By May 2021, the vaccine was being recommended to all pregnant American women.

This is despite the fact that none of the vaccine manufacturers had completed reproductive toxicology reports in animals, and none had started clinical trials in pregnant women. Two months later, hospitals noticed a huge increase in miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm births, pregnancy complications and menstrual abnormalities."

COVID-19 Shots Should Be Category X

The mRNA from COVID-19 shots circulates in the body for 28 days or more, and the spike protein may trigger clotting, bleeding and tissue damage, according to McCullough.

Because of this and other concerns, he states that, conservatively, COVID-19 shots should be given the Category X designation during pregnancy,10 which means, "The risk of use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweighs any possible benefit. The drug is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant."11

Unfortunately, health officials in the U.S. continue to affirm its safety, even for vulnerable populations such as this, as they have from the very beginning. "Shockingly, in the very first week of mass vaccination in December of 2020," McCullough wrote, "news reels depicted well-intentioned pregnant mothers getting injected with synthetic lipid nanoparticles laced with long-lasting mRNA coding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology Spike protein."12

Thorp's study also reported that Pfizer's data showed COVID-19 shot contents are biodistributed into the bloodstream within hours and cross "all physiologic barriers including the maternal-placental-fetal barrier and the blood brain barriers in both the mother and the fetus."13

A separate study is, in fact, looking at using ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LPNs) like those used as mRNA delivery platforms in COVID-19 shots, as tools to deliver drugs to the placenta, because they're so effective at reaching it.

"LNPs enhance mRNA stability, circulation time, cellular uptake and preferential delivery to specific tissues compared to mRNA with no carrier platform," the researchers wrote.14 But the study contains some concerning data, which was shared on Twitter:15,16 [MORE] and [PDF]

Could a Man Holding a Baby Pose a Threat to Police? When a White Seattle Cop Shot Shaun Fuhr in the Head It was Obvious He Didn't Have a Gun b/c he was Cradling His Infant Child in His Arms-Suit Filed

From [HERE] The father of a 24-year-old Black man who was fatally shot by a white Seattle police officer while holding his infant daughter has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit, alleging excessive force and racial discrimination.

The lawsuit, filed by Jason Fuhr, alleges Shaun Fuhr was obeying officers’ commands to stop running from police when Officer Noah Zech shot him in the head April 29, 2020, at a construction site near Rainier Playfield in Columbia City. Shaun Fuhr was holding his infant daughter at the time and the gun shot caused him to drop the child, according to police.

The infant wasn’t hurt, police said. Fuhr later died at Harborview Medical Center.

Zech, a member of the Seattle Police Department’s SWAT team and a 15-year department veteran, was among a large number of officers who had responded to a frantic 911 call from a woman who said she had been beaten by her boyfriend, who fired a shot at her and had taken their 1-year-old daughter, according to police. The woman reported her boyfriend, Fuhr, had assaulted her throughout the day, and police said she had significant injuries.

None of the officers witnessed Fuhr commit a crime.

Seattle is city run by white liberals.

According to the complaint,

FACTS: THE UNJUSTIFIED KILLING OF SHAUN FUHR

Shaun Fuhr was an African American father of an infant child when he was shot and killed by a Seattle Police Officer

10. There is a video of Shaun Fuhr being shot in the head by Defendant Seattle Police Officer, Noah Zech.

11. On April 29, 2020, Defendant Noah Zech was working as a Seattle Police Officer.

12. On April 29, 2020, Defendant Noah Zech and other police officers responded to an alleged domestic incident involving Shaun Fuhr and the mother of his child.

13. Shaun Fuhr was on foot behind a section of townhouses while cradling his infant child in both arms.

14. The officers came running through an alley way and around the corner of a townhouse building to find Shaun Fuhr standing there, holding his infant daughter with both hands.

15. The officers commanded Shaun Fuhr to stop.

16. Shaun Fuhr complied with Seattle Police Officer’s command to stop. 

17. Immediately after complying with Seattle Officer’s command to stop, Shaun Fuhr was shot in the head by Noah Zech while holding his baby daughter in his arms.

18. Seattle Police Officer’s continued to yell commands to Shaun Fuhr to stop after he was shot in the head.

19. Immediately after being shot in the head, Shaun Fuhr’s baby daughter fell out of her father’s arms to the ground and started crying as she rolled down the slight hill Shaun was then standing on.

20. Noah Zech shot and killed Shaun Fuhr even though he was complying with the police commands.

21. At the time Shaun Fuhr was shot in the head, Shaun Fuhr was not running away and was standing with his baby girl in his arms..

22. At the time Shaun Fuhr was shot in the head, Shaun Fuhr was not charging at police.

23. At the time Shaun Fuhr was shot in the head by the defendant Seattle Police Officer, it was visibly clear that Mr. Fuhr did not have a gun in his hands.

24. At the time Shaun Fuhr was shot in the head by the defendant Seattle Police Officer, it was clear that Shaun Fuhr did not have any weapons in his hands.

25. At the time Shaun Fuhr was shot in the head by Defendant Noah Zech, Shaun Fuhr was not threatening, hitting, or assaulting anyone.

26. At the time Shaun Fuhr was shot in the head by Defendant Noah Zech, Shaun Fuhr was not threatening or hurting his child.

27. After complying with the Seattle Police Officers to stop, Shaun Fuhr stopped, and was then shot in the head.

28. Even after being shot, Seattle police officers were still giving commands to Shaun Fuhr to stop.

Zech was cleared of any wrongdoing following a review by the department’s Force Investigation Team, as well as an investigation by the Office of Police Accountability after the family and community groups complained.

“Shaun Fuhr was a young man who was dedicated to his family and had high expectations for his future,” the lawsuit says. “Shaun should be alive today.”

Police released a portion of the woman’s 911 call and officers’ body-worn camera video, which drew sharp criticism from members of the Black community and civil-liberties advocates, who questioned the need for deadly force while Fuhr was holding an infant and posed no threat to the approaching officers. Police don’t listen to or answer 911 calls so such information is not relevant to what the police knew at the time of the shooting. The video is blurred to protect the system of racism white supremacy, a white over Black system that most white people participate in.

Police on their public blotter displayed a semi-automatic handgun they said belonged to Fuhr and was found “nearby.” However, none of the cops saw Fuhr with a gun at the time of the shooting because he was holding his child with both hands - thus posing no threat.

Carolyn Riley-Payne, president of NAACP Seattle King County, issued a statement at the time decrying the fatal shooting as unnecessary.

“The officer who killed Mr. Fuhr shot at him while he was holding his little girl, and while he was running,” the statement said. “It is absolutely unacceptable that the officer demonstrated such utter disregard for the life and safety of the child.”

The lawsuit claims excessive force, negligence, outrage and wrongful death. It alleges Zech shot Fuhr “without investigation or de-escalation, by consciously disregarding the fact that Fuhr was clearly, visibly unarmed because he was holding his infant daughter, and Zech made these conscious choices because Shaun Fuhr is African American.”

The lawsuit notes that the SPD has been under a federal settlement agreement for more than a decade after the Department of Justice concluded in 2012 that officers routinely use excessive force and showed disturbing evidence of biased policing.

Department of Justice and Seattle officials last month asked a federal judge to find the SPD has complied with “core requirements” of the settlement agreement, calling on the judge to end most federal oversight of the agency.

“The city of Seattle implicitly, overtly condones and defends Seattle officers that shoot and kill unarmed people,” the lawsuit said, further claiming the city “has consistently failed to adequately train, supervise and discipline its officers who commit acts of excessive force.”

Aurora Cop Convicted for Failing to Intervene as a White Cop Pistol Whipped, Strangled and Tried to Kill a Defenseless Black Man who Begged for His Life During an Alleged Trespass Arrest

NO WAY TO CONTROL AUTHORITY. Video Shows 2 Aurora Cops Degrade and Brutalize a Black Man to Make a Trespass Arrest; White Cop Pistol Whips and Strangles Him as He Begs for Life. Both Charged

From [HERE] An Arapahoe County jury has convicted former Aurora police officer Francine Martinez for failing to intervene in excessive force used by another officer on July 23, 2021.

Body camera footage captured former officer John Haubert choking and beating Kyle Vinson, then 29, in the head with his gun while threatening to kill him. 

The officers had responded to a trespassing call on South Parker Road. Two other people ran away, while Vinson stayed at the scene. It turned out Vinson had an active warrant for an unrelated incident. He was not armed.

Footage from Haubert's body-worn camera shows Vinson gasping for air and struggling to speak. Near the beginning of the footage, as Vinson lies on his back, Haubert orders Vinson to get on his stomach while Vinson repeatedly asks, "What did I do?"

Haubert tells him he has an active warrant, the video shows. 

Haubert tells Vinson several times to "stop fighting," though Vinson does not appear to be resisting at that point. Haubert also presses his gun up against Vinson's head.

On the footage, Haubert told a sergeant after the arrest, "I was going to shoot him but I didn't know if I had a round in it or not," the documents state. Haubert also said blood on the man was from "pistol-whipping him."

White officers John Haubert and Francine Martinez responded to a call alleging three Black men were trespassing, which is a minor misdemeanor. After officers arrived at the scene, two of the men fled the scene, leaving Kyle Vinson alone. Apparently angry, the white cop decided to arrest Vinson.

The video begins with the white cop pressing his automatic weapon onto the Black man’s head, threatening his life. Vinson says ‘you have the wrong guy, I don’t have any warrants’ and asks ‘why are you arresting me.’ The Black man is visibly shaking and appears to be no threat to the police officers.

During the video the Black man repeatedly begs the officer to stop hitting him and yells "You're killing me," as Aurora police Officer John Haubert holds him down, strangles him and strikes him, the video shows.

If you move, I will shoot you," the white cop continually yells making felony threats against the man. While straggling him the officer says repeatedly "Stop fighting," as the man cries and gasps for air. Then the disfluent cop starts yelling over and over “GET ON YOUR FACE.” Vinson shows his hands surrendering and attempts to comply. Vinson was defenseless and during the attack was crying.

"I need water," Vinson yells as the body camera footage comes to an end. His head is bleeding in multiple areas and there are lumps and contusions on his face. He was hospitalized after he was arrested on suspicion of trespassing. 

Colorado's legislature created the failure to intervene charge for law enforcement officers in 2020. That law also that mandated data collection by agencies on officers' interactions with civilians and expanded requirements for when officers have to turn on their body cameras. It also requires revocation of an officer's state certification if they plead guilty or are convicted of excessive force or failing to intervene.

Martinez' conviction means Colorado's Peace Officer Standards and Training board must permanently decertify her, and she can't work as a law enforcement officer in Colorado again.

“Officers have a duty to intervene in situations like this,” said Chief Deputy District Attorney Brian Sugioka in a statement Friday following the trial. “Officer Martinez failed to do anything to de-escalate the situation and stop the assault.” 

Martinez' sentencing is scheduled for June 2.

Lathered Up CO Cops Allegedly Tased a Latino Man 35X. Police Had Pulled His Son Over Whom He Had Been Following in Another Car. Public Masters Got Enraged b/c He Asked 'Why He Had to Move His Truck?'

THE GREAT REBEL LARKEN ROSE OBSERVES:

It is very telling that many modern “law enforcers” quickly become angry, even violent, when an average citizen simply speaks to the “officer” as an equal, instead of assuming the tone and demeanor of a subjugated underling. Again, this reaction is precisely the same – and has the same cause – as the reaction a slave master would have to an “uppity” slave speaking to him as an equal. There are plenty of examples. depicted in numerous police abuse videos on the internet, of supposed representatives of “authority” going into a rage and resorting to open violence, simply because someone they approached spoke to them as one adult would speak to another instead of speaking as a subject would speak to a master. The state mercenaries refer to this lack of groveling as someone having an “attitude.” In their eyes, someone treating them as mere mortals, as if they are on the same level as everyone else, amounts to showing disrespect for their alleged “authority.”

Similarly, anyone who does not consent to be detained, questioned, or searched by “officers of the law” is automatically perceived, by the mercenaries of the state, as some sort of troublemaker who has something to hide. Again, the real reason such lack of “cooperation” annoys authoritarian enforcers is because it amounts to people treating them as mere humans instead of treating them as superior beings, which is what they imagine themselves to be.

From [HERE] 11 News received new body cam video from Mehr Law, claiming a man was tased multiple times by deputies.

The video is from November of 2022 involving the Las Animas County Sheriff’s Office. Mehr Law states the man, Kenneth Espinoza, was reportedly tased 35 times. This all happened during a traffic stop when Espinoza and his son were traveling to Walsenburg.

Attorneys tell 11 News this incident happened when Kenneth Espinoza and his son were traveling through Trinidad in separate vehicles. Attorneys say Espinoza was told to move his truck from behind deputies cars during the traffic stop. In the video, as Lieutenant Henry Trujillo approached Espinoza to ask him to move his car, Espinoza asked why he had to leave.

Deputy Mikhail Noel then approached Espinoza’s truck, asking him to leave twice. Attorneys tell 11 News as Espinoza started to leave, Deputy Noel shouted for him to stay, pulled out his pistol and pointed it at him. Attorneys tell 11 News Espinoza was tased 35 times while being removed from his truck. Espinoza was then put into the deputies patrol vehicle.

Attorneys tell 11 News Espinoza’s face and lips were bruised in this incident. The law firm says the excessive force was not needed in this situation.

“Even if he was going to take it a step farther, he could have just knocked on the window and say hey man, what are you doing,” said Kevin Mehr, Kenneth Espinoza’s Attorney. “Do you know this guy? Just actually listened to what Ken had to say.”

— Brian Sherrod (@briansherrodtv) April 24, 2023

Las Animas Sheriff Derek Navarette tells 11 News Espinoza was only tased once. This is according to data taken from the tasers. Sheriff Navarette also says Espinoza was not struck by either deputy during the altercation. You can see his response down below.

According to court records, Espinoza faced charges of resisting arrest and assault on a peace officer. The charges were dropped in December. Attorneys tell 11 News they plan to file a civil suit against the Sheriff’s Office.

Stay Away From Carroll County (KY) If You're Black: White Cop who Killed Breonna Taylor Hired by Authorities in 95% White County. Fatally Shot Black Woman as She Slept. No Charges Filed by Sambo AG

From [HERE] The Louisville police officer who shot and killed Breonna Taylor was hired by another department in Kentucky last week, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported.

Myles Cosgrove, who was fired by the Louisville Metro Police Department in January 2021, has been hired by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, its chief deputy Rob Miller told the Courier-Journal.

Carroll County is about an hour's drive northeast of the Louisville Metro Police Department. Carroll County is 95.16% white.

Cosgrove never faced legal repercussions for the fatal shooting of Taylor, a 26-year-old unarmed Black woman who died in her apartment during a botched drug raid in March 2020, after police entered her home on a no-knock warrant. Cosgrove was determined to have fired the fatal shot that killed Taylor.

Miller, the chief deputy, addressed the lack of legal charges against Cosgrove when justifying his hiring to the Courier-Journal. He said his department ran a background check on Cosgrove, which he passed, the newspaper reported.

"We felt like he was a good candidate to help us in our county," Miller said, adding that Cosgrove's experience working for a police narcotics department would help reduce the flow of drugs in the area, per the Courier-Journal. [MORE]

NYPD Claims Francis Romaine Choked an Officer but Video Shows 4 Provocative Cops Grab, Punch and Throw the Defenseless Black Man to the Pavement and Hold Him Down by Pressing a Knee Into His Neck

From [HERE] The NYPD has launched an internal investigation after video emerged showing officers punching a Black man as they placed him under arrest. 

Video exclusively obtained by CBS2 shows officers from the 40th Precinct holding the man's hands back as another repeatedly punches him in the head. 

The exclusive video shows the violent arrest of a Black man by NYPD officers. 

It happened at Prospect Avenue and East 149th Street Sunday, April 16. Contrary to Dependent media video shows an NYPD officer getting into the face of a Black man and then initiating force against him by grabbing his shirt, pushing him backward and then fighting him. In a matter of seconds, four officers surrounded him. Three officers held his arms down as one repeatedly punched him in the head before throwing him to the ground. A female officer appears to employ the unauthorized tactic of leaning on the man's neck to make the arrest. 

The NYPD said officers were conducting an investigation when 29-year-old Francis Romaine approached them "aggressively," and refused multiple orders to back away. When officers tried to arrest him, police say Romaine choked a sergeant. However, the video reveals that the police lied as the Black man is defenseless and does not appear to fight back as cops attack him.

Romaine was arrested multiple charges, including assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. He has since made bail and is out of jail.

New York Court Rules State Police Can’t Keep Hiding its Misconduct Records From the Public

From [HERE] In 2020, the New York State legislature finally took a tool of opacity out of law enforcement’s hands. For forty years, law enforcement agencies had the option of rejecting officer misconduct records requests by citing 50-a, the law that said these records could be considered exempt from the state’s Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). 

Notably, the law did not mandate law enforcement agencies keep these records locked up. All it said was that they could cite this law as a reason for denying records requests. The NYPD finally re-read the law in 2016 and used it as an excuse for its refusal to continue publicly posting information about closed internal investigations. (The other excuse given, believe it or not, was “to save paper.”) 

Perhaps the weirdest footnote of the now-dead law is that fact that it was used as the basis of the NYPD’s union’s lawsuit against the NYPD, which cited 50-a as the reason the NYPD could not legally release body camera footage.

As soon as the law went into effect, so did the legal challenges. But law enforcement’s early wins were soon outpaced by their losses. Litigation forced the NYPD to comply with the repeal of 50-a. (I mean… to a point. The NYPD doesn’t really comply with any public records law.)

The NYPD learned the expensive way it was required to follow the law, just like every other law enforcement agency in the state. Now, it’s the state’s own law enforcement agency that’s learning this lesson, as C.J. Ciaramella reports for Reason.

The New York State Police (NYSP) must turn over decades of disciplinary records and complaints against troopers, a New York state judge ruled today.

In response to a Freedom of Information lawsuit filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), acting Supreme Court Justice Keri Savona ruled that the NYSP must begin disclosing misconduct records from 2000 through 2020. (Unlike most states, New York’s Supreme Court is its trial-level court system.) The ruling is the latest defeat for police unions, which have been fighting to limit the scope of a 2020 law that made police disciplinary files public record. [MORE]

PropaGandhi Use Opinions to Generate Statistics and Grab Guns: There is No Evidence Children Are More Likely to Die by Guns Than Vehicles

According to FUNKTIONARY:

PropaGandhi – passive social non-resistance propaganda. 2) obedience-based servitude to the enforcers of granfalloons uncommonly known as Corporate States and any other group-entities. Mahatma Gandhi mostly walked barefoot which produced calluses on his feet. He also had a very weird diet sprinkled with bouts of fasting which made him rather frail and suffer intermittently from halitosis—this made him… “A super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.” (See: Poser, Class, Mass, Racism White Supremacy, Gun Control & Caste)

statistics – opinions dressed as facts. 2) the disembodied abstraction of numerical signifiers and graphic ghosts that are conjured up in an attempt to support a political posture already taken. 3) a pseudo-scientific system used to manipulate physical reality. Statistics is a weak model. Statistics is like a bikini—what they reveal are suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. With statistics, there is only modeling of the distribution of events. Also, with statistics, you always have the luxury of having high trends in low spaces to dissemble, portend or otherwise pretend. Anyone who cites a statistic has an investment in the statistic cited—statistics don’t just show up uninvited. Statistics generate opinions, but more often, opinions generate statistics. Figures lie and liars figure their way out of lies—so it figures. Dogma and statistics are kissing-cousins. We do not believe what we prove with statistics, we prove what we believe. Statistics are a snap-shot in time of what has been. If you want to be a has-been, believe in statistics. (See: Dogma, Opinions, Beliefs & ICE)

From [HERE] Another year brings about another opportunity for gun control activists and their media lackeys to manipulate CDC fatal injury data to push a misleading factoid on children and firearms.

This is how it works: Step one, acquire statistics on firearm-related deaths among children ages 1-14. Step two, combine that relatively low number with the far greater number of firearm-related deaths involving juveniles and young adults ages 15-19, or even ages 15-24. Step three, present the resulting data as the shocking number of “children” (ages 1-19 or 1-24) who are subjected to “gun violence” each day/week/month/year. Step four, use the disingenuous statistic to advocate for pre-determined gun control policies.

Upon the release of the CDC’s 2021 fatal injury data, gun controllers dredged up this tactic once again. As with overall violent crime, firearm-related violence has been elevated in recent years, alongside the conscious implementation of soft-on-crime criminal justice policies. Sadly, younger people were no exception to this increase.

However, anti-gun researchers and the media abuse the CDC’s data to create misleading headlines, such as the one on this March 29, 2023, CNN article titled, “Children and teens are more likely to die by guns than anything else.”

As the CNN article discusses “children and teens,” consider the data on children – ages 0-12. For this cohort, firearm-related injuries are not the leading causes of death and are not higher than motor vehicle deaths. The number of motor vehicle deaths in this age group is more than double that of firearms-related deaths. The number of motor vehicle deaths in the 0-14 age group is 55 percent higher than firearm-related deaths. Moreover, when examining those ages 0-16, motor vehicle deaths are still higher than firearm-related deaths.

This does shift when examining those ages 15-19. Over 80 percent of the firearm-related deaths that occur in the 0-19 age group happen among juveniles and young adults ages 15-19. This disparity shouldn’t be surprising. The 15-19 cohort is far more often engaged in the type of street crime that can give rise to firearm-related violence and that many jurisdictions have decided to address in a more lenient manner in recent years. The conflation of this age group with young children is even more absurd when one considers that in the vast majority of jurisdictions, those 15 and older can be prosecuted as adults.

The next time you see a shocking headline about children and firearms, keep in mind how those pushing a political agenda have no interest in the truth.

Washington State Officially Abolishes Death Penalty

From [HERE] The state’s high court struck down the death penalty in 2018, but the law remained on the books. Besides the death penalty, Senate Bill 5087(link is external) also eliminated other laws, including a measure that allowed sterilization(link is external) as criminal punishment.

“It’s official. The death penalty is no longer in state law,” Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee said on Twitter after the signing. He also thanked legislators and other leaders who were part of the decade-long effort to end the practice, including the state's attorney general.

In 2014, Inslee issued a moratorium on the death penalty. In 2018, Washington’s Supreme Court unanimously struck down the death penalty, calling it arbitrary and racially biased. “To the extent that race distinguishes the cases, it is clearly impermissible and unconstitutional,” Chief Justice Mary Fairhurst wrote in the lead opinion.

A 2014 report by the University of Washington also found that jurors in the state were "more than four times more likely to impose a death sentence if the defendant is black."(link is external)

Twenty-seven states still have the death penalty. As of April 1, 2022, there were 2,414 people on death row in the United States, according to data(link is external) from the Death Penalty Information Center. 

Research Shows Bias in the Application of Felony Murder and Accomplice Liability Causes Blacks/Latinos to be Sentenced for 1st degree Murders they Didn't Personally Commit at Greater Rates than Whites

From [HERE] A forthcoming article in the Denver Law Review discusses two theories of homicide law, the felony murder rule and accomplice liability, that create group liability for the actions of an individual. The article, written by Professors G. Ben Cohen, Justin D. Levinson, and Koichi Hioki states that “Research suggests that the administration of accomplice liability [and] felony murder doctrines disproportionately impact Black and minority defendants,” causing minority defendants to be sentenced for first degree murders they did not personally commit at greater rates than white defendants. The researchers’ explanation for this disparity is that “Americans automatically individualize white men, yet automatically perceive Black and Latino men as group members.” 

According to the article, “Most modern felony statutes provide that a death that results from the commission of a specifically listed felony … constitutes first-degree murder for which the maximum penalty is death or life imprisonment.” Accomplice liability “impute[s] responsibility to one person for the actions of another.” Between the two, if a group of defendants commits a felony and a person dies during its commission, all members of the group could be charged with capital murder in certain states.

The authors conducted a national empirical study on a diverse sample of Americans, identifying the way in which implicit racial bias potentially infiltrates the operation of the accomplice liability felony murder rule. In addition to identifying the racial disparities in concluding that a defendant acted individually, mentioned above, the study found that: “mock jurors held Latino defendants more responsible for – and ascribed greater intentionality for – the same felony-murder style killing; and… mock jurors’ memories of case facts actually became sharpened when reading about Latino defendants, demonstrating that aggressive stereotypes of certain groups can pave the way for heightened criminal responsibility.” 

The article concludes that “The risk that implicit bias plays a role in charging decisions and jury verdicts provides sufficient concern to warrant elimination of the doctrine. … The risk that jurors assessing liability for these types of offenses will assume group responsibility for the actions of Black and Latino defendants but ensure that white defendants are assessed culpability solely for their own actions, warrants limitation of the use even in non- mandatory life without parole sentences.”

The ACLU says the Biden Administration is Monitoring and Retaining the Speech of Citizens and non-Citizens. Among Other Things, Authorities Use Info to Decide if Non-Citizens Can Stay in the US

From [HERE] The Biden administration has been quietly deploying and expanding programs that surveil what people say on social media, using tools that allow agents and analysts to invisibly monitor the vast amount of protected speech that occurs online. For years, these kinds of tools have been increasingly used for a range of controversial law enforcement and intelligence purposes. But some of the most troubling programs continuously monitor the social media posts of non-citizens to decide who gets to live, study, or stay in the United States.

If you’re an immigrant or visa-holder in the United States and believe you’ve been affected by this social media monitoring, the ACLU wants to hear your story.

Social media accounts are extensions of ourselves. A single social media account can reveal a map of our family and friends; a catalogue of our personal preferences and political views; and, of course, a comprehensive diary of our thoughts and speech. Given the trove of information available online, social media surveillance threatens our rights to speak freely and live without fear of constant government scrutiny.

Through our ongoing FOIA lawsuit, the ACLU has obtained documents showing that a wide range of government agencies are monitoring and retaining the speech of U.S. citizens and non-citizens alike — whether or not those individuals are suspected of any criminal wrongdoing. Agencies continue to pour millions of dollars into technology that enables this sustained tracking of social media activity.

In recent years, the government has ramped up its efforts to monitor the social media activities of non-citizens. At least two Department of Homeland Security (DHS) programs involve the monitoring of non-citizens who have come to the U.S. for school, work, or other reasons. Under the Visa Lifecycle Vetting Program, DHS monitors the online activities of individuals in the U.S. on student or business visas — from the moment they apply for a visa throughout their stay in the United States. Under another program known as Continuous Immigration Vetting, DHS may monitor social media and a number of other sources for “derogatory information” about non-citizens, starting when a person applies for an immigration benefit until they become a naturalized U.S. citizen.

Who Social Media Surveillance Hurts

The government’s social media surveillance can have immense consequences. For example, in August 2019, CBP officers denied entry to Ismail Ajjawi, a 17-year-old Palestinian student from Lebanon traveling to start his freshman year at Harvard. Ismail, like other non-citizens hoping to enter the United States, was likely subject to the State Department’s policy requiring nearly all visa applicants to disclose their social media handles. After an hours-long interrogation about Ismail’s political views, religious affiliations, and friends’ social media posts, Ismail’s visa was canceled and he was promptly deported.

While Ismail was eventually allowed to pursue his studies in the U.S., the government continues to engage in the suspicionless social media monitoring of non-citizens, including many Black and Brown immigrants and visitors who want to become citizens or pursue degrees here. Once DHS collects this information, it may use it to guide immigration decisions, including those involving deportation, visa revocations, and naturalization.

Suspicionless monitoring of social media infringes the rights of people who are living in the U.S. and are protected by the First Amendment. Individuals who suspect they are being surveilled may fear expressing themselves freely out of concerns over government scrutiny or retaliation. This is a loss for the people whose speech is chilled and for all those who benefit from vibrant online conversations and exchanges of ideas.

Government surveillance also often disproportionally targets racial and religious minority communities and those who dissent against government policies. The ACLU has called on both DHS and the Justice Department to reform their policies that allow biased profiling and investigations. And of course, surveillance undermines our basic notions of privacy. Even individuals who post publicly online do not expect the government to digitally archive their online activity without any suspicion, or to scrutinize their friends, contacts, and associations on social media platforms.

Social Media Surveillance is Ineffective and Inefficient

Social media surveillance is also ineffective and lacks empirical support. Analyzing social media is notoriously difficult, given the sheer volume of information and the many ways in which individuals’ online messages can be misinterpreted — especially when those posts span many different languages and cultures. One office within DHS recently rejected a proposal to expand the agency’s collection of social media information after concluding that the monitoring had little utility. The Biden administration has also reportedly considered halting social media vetting for some categories of refugees given concerns about “the efficiency of the process.”

Given the harms of this surveillance, and its demonstrated lack of effectiveness, DHS should end its existing social media programs. Until then, we need to know more about how the government monitors our social media and the impact of this surveillance on communities and individuals.
