Black Man Found Hanging by a Rope had Sued Alabama Police for Brutality: ‘It’s not a suicide,’ Widow says. Cops 'Offered to Drop Charges if He Withdrew Lawsuit'

From [HERE] A Black man found dead at an abandoned house in Colbert County last month had earlier this year filed a federal lawsuit against Sheffield police officers alleging police brutality.

Dennoriss Richardson, 39, of Sheffield, was found hanging by a rope on Sept. 28, said civil rights attorney Roderick Van Daniel, who represented Richardson in the federal lawsuit.

Van Daniel has called for a federal investigation of what he says is a suspicious death.

U.S. Attorney Prim Escalona said she was not familiar with the case. “We can’t deny or confirm the existence of any investigation,” said FBI Public Affairs Specialist Toni Herrera-Bast.

Colbert County Sheriff Eric Balentine said his office has investigated and ruled the death a suicide.

“We received a call of a suspicious vehicle at a residence on Highway 72, on the west side of Colbert County,” Balentine said. “When our deputies go down to investigate the suspicious vehicle, they located Mr. Richardson. He was hanging from a beam on the carport.”

Richardson’s wife, Leigh Ann Richardson, said she is absolutely convinced it was not a suicide.

“I need answers,” she said. “This was made to look like a suicide. It’s not a suicide.”

She said that Richardson had been repeatedly arrested, beaten, and harassed by Sheffield police officers who said they would drop charges against him if he would drop the federal lawsuit.

He repeatedly refused, she said.

They harassed him his whole life’

Richardson filed a lawsuit Feb. 26 against several Sheffield police officers, including former Sheffield Police Lt. Max Dotson.

Dotson was fired for a separate incident after he was found guilty of a December 2022 assault against another Black man while off duty.

Dotson, four other officers, and Police Chief Ricky Terry were named in the lawsuit as having taken part in abusive behavior while Richardson was detained in the Sheffield City Jail from Nov. 30 until Dec. 1, 2022.

“Any abuse of inmates is contrary to our policy,” Sheffield Mayor Steve Stanley said. “I have preached repeatedly that everyone we encounter, whether they’ve committed a crime or not, deserves respect and humane treatment. I’m hoping that that philosophy and standard is embraced by all of our employees.”

As Fed Prosecutors Fail to Convict ANY Cops for the Charge of Beating Tyre Nichols to Death, Study Shows Memphis Police Fail to Protect the Mostly Black Population; Ranked 'The Most Unsafe City in US'

Last week, 3 Memphis police officers were found guilty on Thursday of federal witness tampering charges in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man. But federal prosecutors failed to convict any of the defendants of the more serious charge of violating his civil rights by causing his death. Contrary to misleading media reports (“myth-information” obviously designed to control public reaction to the unjust verdict) one officer, Demetrius Haley, was convicted on a lesser charge of violating Mr. Nichols’s civil rights by causing bodily injury. That is, he was acquitted of causing the Black man’s death but found guilty of the lesser charge of only causing bodily injury (see below). At least six body cameras captured video and audio of Memphis cops brutally beating and torturing Tyre Nichols as he was unarmed and not resisting arrest. The murder also occurred directly in front public surveillance cameras which captured the brutalization that caused his death. As such, it is inexplicable that federal prosecutors were unable to convince a jury that said cops didn’t willfully beat Nichols to death (count 1), deny medical treatment (count 2) or conceal evidence (count 3). The actual jury verdict can be viewed here.

The three defendants — Mr. Haley, Tadarrius Bean and Justin Smith — and two other former officers who pleaded guilty to their role in the violence, still face additional state charges, including second-degree murder.

In the aftermath of the feds failure to prosecute, a new report now places Memphis, Tennessee at the bottom of the 2024 list for “Safest Cities in the US.” That is, Memphis ranked #1 as the most unsafe city in the country. At the opposite end of the spectrum, South Burlington, Vermont takes the crown as America’s safest city in 2024.

Researchers from WalletHub compared 182 cities, including the 150 most populated U.S. cities and at least two of the most populated cities in each state. The team focused on three key dimensions: Home and community safety, the risk of natural disasters, and financial safety.

Although the report focused on metrics applicable to the general public, additional criteria should be considered for Black residents of cities, such as the propensity for police to interfere with their freedom of movement as they go about their daily lives. Most black people live in metro areas. In nearly every metro area Black people are routinely stopped, searched, detained and degraded by police in grossly substantial numbers. In Memphis for example, police stop Black residents, such as Tyre Nichols, at least 2.5X more than whites. In fact, most of the cities in which police stop Black people in grossly disproportionate numbers are controlled by elite, white liberals. [MORE]

After examining 41 different metrics in those three fields and creating a 100-point scale to grade them, researchers found that South Burlington finished head and shoulders above any other city. The Vermont community, with roughly 20,000 residents, ranked in the top 10 of all three major categories, finishing first overall in terms of financial safety.

South Burlington had the lowest unemployment rate and second-lowest percentage of residents living without insurance. The Wallethub team also notes that South Burlington is relatively safe from natural disasters, ranking low for the risk of floods, tornadoes, and wildfires.

Memphis fell from 176th in 2023 to dead last in 2024. Memphis finished in the bottom five in terms of assaults and traffic deaths and had the lowest percentage of households with emergency savings. Memphis is 61% Black.. The top ten most unsafe are as follows;

1. Memphis, TN

2. Detroit, MI

3. Fort Lauderdale, FL

4. Baton Rouge, LA

5. New Orleans, LA

6. Baltimore, MD

7. Cleveland, OH

8. Oakland, CA

9. Philadelphia, PA

10. San Bernardino, CA

Observe that all cities in the top ten are cities controlled by elite white liberals.

RATHER, THE ISSUE IS WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT HAS A RIGHT TO RULE OVER PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND WHETHER PEOPLE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO OBEY THEIR IMPLIED AUTHORITY. [MORE]

After finishing 170th in 2023, New Orleans tumbled to 178th in 2024, finishing in the bottom five of WalletHub’s new list. New Orleans was second-to-last in terms of home and community safety and in the bottom 10 for financial security.

Other major cities sliding into the bottom 10 in terms of America’s safest cities were Philadelphia (174th), Cleveland (176th), Baltimore (177th), and Detroit (181st).

While researchers found major disparities between the safest and least safe cities, there was one factor in this year’s rankings that appears to be affecting every American metropolis: overall scores for safety are getting lower everywhere. While 2023’s safest city carried an overall score of 86 out of 100, South Burlington could only manage a score of 74.15.

Meanwhile, St. Louis finished in last place in 2023 with a score of 44.88. This year, the city in last (Memphis) only managed to score 34.81.

CHI Mayor Performs Leadership but has Delivered Nothing of Tangible Value so far; Claims to Liberate but Authorities Fail to Educate, Protect and Cops Engage in “Pervasive Mass Stops” of Black People

In nearly all liberal jurisdictions where blacks reside, regardless of the number of Black elected officials, elite whites control and own all major resources (such as banks, local mainstream media, major real estate, ports, utilities, large corporations and businesses, all major industry, major non-profits, unions, hospitals, etc) and own most major real estate, City bonds and anything else of substantial material value and they substantially fund most political campaigns.

Neely Fuller explains, ‘in a socio-material system dominated by wealthy, powerful racists, all major decisions involving non-white people are made by elite racists. In such places elite white liberals function as the major decision makers in regards to what happens or does not happen to non-white people, particularly Blacks and Latinos.’ Elite whites are their employers, landlords, creditors, land owners, supervisors, bosses and major decision-makers. Fuller states, ‘Whatever a Black person gets, and/or is allowed to keep, is the result of decisions made by elite racist suspects. This is the functional meaning of White Supremacy (Racism) that many Black people prefer not to acknowledge.’ [MORE] Thus, in their direct or indirect relations with elite white liberals, most black people function as their employees, workers, consumers, helpers, servants, tenants, patients, clients and customers.

DeMockery: Dumbocrats Claim to Protect the Black Vote but Have Spent Substantial Time and Resources to Keep Cornel West Off the Ballot, Miring His Candidacy in Fuckery, Rendering It to Write-In Status

From [HERE] Hmm: Democrats are fighting to get third-party candidates Jill Stein and Cornel West off the ballot in multiple states — while simultaneously battling to keep RFK Jr. on some states’ ballot even after he’s withdrawn.

“Defending democracy” sure is a tricky business.

Of course, the “principle” at stake here is nothing but “what’s best for Kamala Harris.”

West is running this cycle as an independent candidate. Only Democrats get to play games, including switching out Biden for Harris once they realized Joe was a sure loser.

They keep saying “democracy is on the ballot” this year, but (to quote Inigo Montoya) we don’t think that word means what they think it means. As a result of dumbocratic fuckery, The West/Abdullah ticket is on pace to be the largest presidential write-in campaign ever! 

Arizona

In August 2024, the Arizona Secretary of State said that the West Campaign did not file sufficient paperwork to gain ballot access in the state before the set deadline.

Michigan

In August 2024, Cornel West and his running mate Melina Abdullah were both initially disqualified and denied entry onto the 2024 Michigan presidential election ballot, due to an incorrectly notarized form. 

The group Clear Choice Action is backing the effort to block West from the ballot with help from lawyers with ties to the Democratic Party. Clear Choice founder Pete Kavanaugh said there’s ample evidence of “widespread and blatant fraud.”

“When you look through these petition pages, and there are thousands of them, again, it’s close to 30,000 individual signatures, what you see are clear patterns of fraud,” Kavanaugh said.

His campaign responded to a request for comment with a statement saying it “sees these accusations as part of a broader attempt to undermine the democratic process rather than legitimate legal objections."

"The allegations focus on procedural issues such as incomplete voter information and errors by petition circulators, disproportionately emphasizing technicalities over substantial compliance,” the statement continued. [MORE]

The Michigan Democratic Party has been fighting to keep West off the ballot, as has voter Rosa Holliday, who is represented by attorney Mark Brewer, a former Michigan Democratic Party chair. The Michigan Department of State appealed the Court of Claims ruling to the Michigan Court of Appeals, but did not follow through with an appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court, as Brewer did. [MORE]

The Michigan Secretary of State had given West's campaign a week to submit a response concerning the notarization issues and did not receive a response, after which the department disqualified West. On August 24, a Michigan judge overruled the decision, and required West to be given ballot access in Michigan.

Pennsylvania

In August of 2024, a judge ruled agreeing with the Secretary of State’s office that West’s candidacy paperwork was insufficient for ballot access in Pennsylvania.

West’s insurgent candidacy had been challenged in Pennsylvania by Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro’s administration, with his secretary of state’s office arguing that the 71-year-old far-left candidate did not submit all the required paperwork on time.

The state’s Supreme Court ruling affirmed a lower court order from last month knocking West off the November ballots. [MORE]

West’s campaign has now sought relief from the federal court.

Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, an employee of the Democratic National Convention challenged to keep West off of the ballot. In August 2024, the Wisconsin Election Commission rejected the challenge, and voted 5-1 to keep West on the ballot.

VA

The Virginia Board of Elections also ruled earlier that West will be included on ballots despite previously disqualifying him over alleged faulty paperwork. [MORE]

Outspoken-Token Judge Ketanji Parrots Her White Liberal Masters: The 1st Amendment is "Hamstringing" the Government from Restricting Certain Viewpoints and Content it Wishes to Eliminate

From [HERE] Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson asked Lousiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga during oral arguments for Murthy v. Missouri (formerly Missouri v. Biden) when the federal government should be allowed to "compel or encourage" social media platforms to censor speech that is "threatening... from the government's perspective."

"My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways," Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said. "Some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty can not manifest itself in encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information."

"I'm really worried about that because you've got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances, from the government's perspective, and you're saying that the government can’t interact with the source of those problems," she said. 


"Our position is not that the government can't interact with the platforms," Aguiñaga explained. "But the way they do that has to be in compliance with the First Amendment."

Journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out on Twitter that "hamstringing the government" in its ability to censor speech is "quite literally the entire point of the First Amendment and Bill of Rights." [MORE]

Two White Louisville Police Officers Accused of Lying and Providing False Information to Get Warrant that Led to Cops Murdering Breonna Taylor Indicted Again by DOJ

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed new charges against two former Louisville police officers already facing federal crimes in connection with the fatal raid on Breonna Taylor's home in 2020.

The so-called “superseding” indictments come a little more than a month after a judge's dismissal of the most serious charges against former Louisville Metro Police Detectives Joshua Jaynes and Sgt. Kyle Meany.

U.S. District Court Judge Charles Simpson's Aug. 22 ruling, in essence, found that the initial gunshot Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired at police was the "legal cause of her death" — not an improper warrant that authorized the raid.

Jaynes and Meany are accused of providing and lying about false information in a search warrant used by police to burst into Taylor's house, resulting in her death.

In the new indictments, the prosecutors amended the original indictments, adding additional allegations in hopes of getting around the judge's ruling. 

Jaynes and Meany will have to be arraigned again, with a scheduled court date on Oct. 18. Both are currently released on bond. [MORE]

What happens when the police lie?

From [HERE] Most Americans understand that the police are allowed to lie to suspects. Whether learned from watching procedurals, news reports or personal experience, it is generally recognized that deceit during suspect interrogations is a routine feature of American policing.  

What is less understood are the consequences of accepting such practices, and the extent to which the U.S. stands as an outlier in sanctioning them.  

To elicit confessions, police routinely employ a variety of manipulative practices, including lying about the existence of incriminating evidence or falsely implying leniency in exchange for cooperation. These techniques are not tools of a last resort, but core components of interrogation in the U.S. They are taught in some of the most influential police manuals, tolerated by judges and widely accepted as standard practice. 

Defenders of these practices are quick to point out that police have tough cases on their hands and must use all methods at their disposal to find the truth. Undoubtedly, deception is an effective technique at times for eliciting confessions from criminals and solving crimes in some cases.  

Yet these techniques also have costs. Despite potential investigative advantages, the prevalence of deception has had severe social consequences, not only for the innocent people subjected to such practices, but also for the integrity of the criminal justice system. 

First, the use of deceptive interrogation techniques significantly increases the risk of false confessions. The psychological pressure and manipulation inherent in deceptive interrogation tactics can induce even an innocent suspect to admit to a crime. When faced with repeated assertions that incontrovertible evidence exists to secure a conviction — say a DNA test — some suspects begin to doubt their own recollections. Others make a calculated decision that the officers’ minds are made up and confessing is in their best interest.

One study of police detectives estimated that roughly 1 in 20 innocent suspects provides a false confession during interrogation — a staggering number, considering how many interrogations that occur daily.

Unfortunately, once elicited, false confessions are difficult to overcome in court, even in the face of contradictory evidence. As a result, false confessions routinely result in convictions, and indeed, are one of the leading causes of wrongful convictions in the United States. Of the hundreds of wrongful convictions overturned by the Innocence Project, 29 percent involved false confessions. For capital cases, that figure is 61 percent. [MORE]

Police ‘Drug Checkpoint’ Signs on the Road are Actually a Trap for Cops to Stop Drivers who Exit from Road

From [HERE] There you are, driving along the highway when you see a “Drug Checkpoint, 1 Mile” road sign. You decide you don’t want to deal with waiting in line at a police stop and need gas anyway. So you take the next exit. Next thing you know, a police cruiser comes out of nowhere and pulls you over for not using your turn signal long enough. This move is especially tricky because there was never a drug checkpoint: the Supreme Court ruled it illegal to set up a roadblock to search cars for drugs.

A Redditor asked the Kansas-specific forum, “What’s up with the fake ‘drug checkpoints’ on I-35?” They were referring to signs that said “Highway Patrol Checkpoint” and specified “Drug Dogs in Use.” These signs popped up right before an exit, and the OP noted multiple Kansas Highway Patrol cars hiding on the exit road. “Seems pretty shady and sketchy to me, using a fake checkpoint as a ruse to look for people driving off the freeway and stopping them for a warrantless search.”

One commenter said they narrowly avoided getting caught up in this old bait-and-switch. “My girlfriend was driving and we panicked for a second and I said ‘keep on going’ because it felt like a trap and sure enough it was exactly as you described.”

The kicker is that there was never a traffic stop to begin with. Another commenter revealed, “As others have said, the ‘checkpoints’ are a ruse; the police have vehicles posted at the next exit (usually leading to a remote road that regular travelers wouldn’t normally visit) and then pull people over if they see them ditching anything out the windows, failing to signal, etc.” [MORE]

Video of Unlawful Stop and Degradation of Black Man in Benton Harbor (MI) is More Proof Blacks Don't Have 4th Amendment Rights in the Areas They Live In; Places ALL Controlled by Elite White Liberals

From [HERE] On or about April 10, 2024, Dakarai Larriett, a Black man, was driving his vehicle lawfully in Benton Harbor, Michigan (Berrien County). He was pulled over by troopers of the Michigan State Police without any reasonable suspicion or probable cause to believe he had committed any traffic violation and/or crime. [MORE]

Benton Harbor is a city in Berrien County in Michigan near Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. It is an 80% Black city that is controlled by elite white liberals. [MORE]

The first Michigan State Police officer who confronted Larriett during a traffic stop earlier this year accused the 42-year-old Black man of being drunk, claiming he smelled like alcohol, specifically something “fruity.”

The second cop was convinced Larriett was under the influence of marijuana and medication – an indication he never smelled alcohol – even though the video shows that officer having a face-to-face conversation with Larriett.

“We’re trained in standard sobriety evaluations, we’ve had over 800 hours of that,” the second cop, Matthew Okaiye, boasted to Larriett. “In our professional opinion due to our training experience, we don’t believe you can operate that motor vehicle safely.”

However, their professional opinion was proven wrong by a blood test that indicated Larriett was not under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or medication. And body camera footage suggests they may have even been trying to plant drugs in his car.

Larriett, who comes across as soft-spoken and clear-headed in the video, was charged with operating under the influence of a controlled substance.

But prosecutors dismissed the case “due to lack of evidence and the unlawful nature of the stop and arrest,” according to a lawsuit Larriett is preparing to file.

“The actions of the Michigan State Police officers were part of a pattern and practice of racially discriminatory policing,” wrote attorney Shawndrica N. Simmons in the complaint obtained by Atlanta Black Star.

The lawsuit accuses Michigan State Police of violating Larriett’s Fourth Amendment rights, false arrest and malicious prosecution.

The Arrest

The incident took place at 3:10 a.m. on April 10 in Benton Harbor after Michigan State Trooper George Kanyuh pulled him over, claiming Larriett did not come to a complete stop at two flashing red lights – allegations that Larriett denied.

Body camera video shows Kanyuh mocking Larriett’s license plate, which is made up of his first name, “Dakarai.” The name Dakarai is African, and it originated from the Bantu language of Zimbabwe’s Shona people.

“You’ve been drinking daiquiris, my goodness,” Kanyuh tells his partner before stepping out of the car and engaging with Larriett.

Kanyuh asks for Larriett’s license, insurance, and registration, then asks if alcohol has impacted his ability to drive, but Larriett says no.

“When was your last drink? Has it been at least two hours?” Kanyuh asks.

Larriett said yes but later in the video explains that it had been much longer than two hours while clarifying that he did, in fact, answer the question accurately.

“I can smell it on your breath,” Kanyuh tells him. “Something fruity-like. What were you drinking?”

“There’s no alcohol in here,” Larriett responds.

But Kanyuh orders him out of the car and has him do several field sobriety tests, which he appears to pass. But the cops claimed he made numerous mistakes.

Kanyuh asks him if he is on any medication, and Larriett says he is, but when the cop asks him what type of medication, Larriett declines to answer, telling the officer that “I prefer to keep my medication private.”

Kanyuh keeps peppering him with questions, including asking him if he was under the influence of marijuana, which Larriett denies.

That was when Kanuyuh walked to his car and appeared to be searching for something that Larriett believed was a drug to plant in his car. The video even goes black for several seconds as he is searching his car.

The cops transported him to a local hospital to get his blood drawn, then to jail, where he says he was further humiliated after cops conducted a scan of his stomach and claimed to have spotted evidence that he had smuggled drugs into the jail by ingesting them.

“It is clear that the troopers were planning to plant drugs in Plaintiff’s vehicle and implicate him in a drug crime as they also attempted to at the jail,” the lawsuit states.

The cops were so desperate to find drugs in his system that they even wanted to examine his feces, according to the claim.

“An extremely humiliating moment occurred where I was forced to defecate publicly while Trooper Kanyuh yelled at me not to flush,” Larriett told the Detroit Metro Times.

Court Asked to Order the Release of Video of J'Allen Jones' Custodial Murder in Connecticut Jail. 9 Cops Beat and Smothered Black Man while he was Hogtied and Hooded, then Denied Medical Treatment

From [HERE] A video that shows a bound, naked Black man — his head covered with an irritant-soaked mask — being struck and held down until he stops breathing should be released because it is a public document, a lawyer says in a new legal document. 

The recording shows what led to the March 25, 2018 death of J’Allen Jones, 31, an inmate at the Garner Correctional Institution in Newtown. Lynnette Richardson, Jones’ girlfriend and administrator of his estate, and his mother, Jessica Jones, filed the wrongful death lawsuit against state Department of Correction staff members five months after he died.

The state is defending the staff, justifying the use of force and saying the correction officers didn’t know about Jones’ medical condition: An autopsy showed his cardiovascular disease was a factor to his death.

An internal investigation concluded that the correction officers did not use excessive force, although DOC Capt. Robert Hartnett, who conducted the investigation, did find that the eight officers and a DOC nurse waited too long to begin life-saving measures.

In the motion filed Friday to unseal the video, attorney Ron Murphy wrote that the Attorney General’s Office had submitted the recording as an exhibit, which it cited 37 times in legal documents. 

“Exhibit A must now be considered a judicial document immediately accessible to the public,” Murphy wrote.

The state has until Oct. 25 to file a response to Murphy's motion.

In his motion, Murphy explained how the approximately 50-minute video, recorded by a correction officer using a handheld camera, came to be sealed.

Lawyers from the state Attorney General’s Office “refused to disclose the video unless the plaintiff agreed to a discovery protective order, which plaintiff did under duress as it was the only way to get the video,” Murphy said in the motion.

He said the protective order, however, should not have applied to a video that is an exhibit.

Murphy also talked about why the state didn't want the video made public. Quoting Hartnett from a 2022 deposition, Murphy said the investigator “believes releasing the video would pose a safety and security concern to the Department of Corrections because the general public would be ‘inflamed’ and ‘incensed’ by the video showing J’Allen’s death."

The motion lists four specific images from the video that Hartnett allegedly said would upset the public:

1. Correction officers holding Jones down “when you can hear J’Allen having difficulty breathing”;

2. J’Allen “flopped over to the side” in a wheelchair while “unconscious”;

3. “The seven-minute delay before the onset of CPR” and 

4. “A period of inaction ... while Mr. Jones was undergoing a medical emergency.”

Murphy also pointed out a few areas Hartnett did not address, writing that "Jones was Black and eight of the nine defendants are white,” and that Jones didn't “hit or threatened any of the defendants involved in his death.”

“The events in the video are as disturbing as the events in the video of George Floyd’s death,” Murphy wrote, referring to Floyd's 2020 death after a police officer kneeled on his neck, an act that was captured on cellphone video, sparking nationwide protests and changes in how police do their jobs.

“But in some ways, the video of J’Allen’s death is worse as the defendants struck J’Allen repeatedly, violently threw him down twice, sprayed him twice directly in the face with pepper spray while his face was covered by a safety veil — all while J’Allen was naked, handcuffed behind his back, shackled at his ankles, hogtied, and having a schizophrenic episode in the psych ward of a Connecticut prison,” he wrote.

“Moreover, the defendants caused J’Allen to stop breathing, become unconscious, and then delayed calling 911 or starting CPR by seven minutes after it was apparent he had stopped breathing,” Murphy wrote.

Murphy also suggested that there was an attempt to deceive anyone watching the video. He quotes in the motion a lieutenant who at one point looked at the camera and then twice said in a low voice, “Clean this up." Murphy said in other court documents that he had to use audio-enhancing technology to amplify the words so he could hear them clearly.  

He wrote that the correction officers then nodded in agreement and “start shouting and hitting J’Allen as if to justify their prior actions.”

Hartnett’s investigation, which included an in-depth account of what the video shows about the officers’ use of force, states that the officers started warning Jones to stop resisting much earlier during the deadly interaction, however. 

Study Shows Black and Latino Children in NYC are Not Learning in Public Fool System in City Controlled by Elite White Liberals

From [HERE] Some New York City public schools spend up to three times as much per student than the citywide average — but show dismal results, The Post has found.

The average per-pupil budget at NYC public schools was $21,112 in fiscal year 2023-24, according to new reports posted by the city Department of Education, but dozens spend much more — up to $60,000-plus — while producing math and reading scores well below the citywide average, records show. 

This year, after Chancellor David Banks ordered many schools to adopt a new phonics-based curriculum, the citywide proficiency rate in reading for NYC students in grades 3-8 fell from 51.7% last year to 49.1%, according to preliminary results released this week. Math proficiency inched up 3.5 percentage points from last year to 53%.

The final results to come out this fall may differ because the preliminary data don’t include kids learning to speak English – their scores are still being “verified,” documents show. 

But many of the lowest-scoring schools enroll fewer than 100 children with per-pupil spending on par with a pricey private education, records show.

“It’s really scary that students are performing so poorly with all that money being spent,” a DOE administrator who reviewed the data told The Post. “I’m shocked that district superintendents haven’t stepped in to question what’s going on.” [MORE]

Eric Adams Indicted, Targeted by Massa' Media after Falling Out of Favor w/His White Liberal Masters. Black Mayor said Biden/Kamala “Did Nothing” when “Broken Immigration Policies” Overwhelmed NYC

"BLACK" MAYOR GOT KAEPERNICKED. 'Any act or attitude on the part of SHOWCASE Blacks which ELITE WHITE LIBERALS PERCEIVE AS CONTRARY TO THEIR GOALS OR defIANT TO THEIR AUTHORITY, control or dominance WILL TRIGGER THEM TO FILTER OUT OR DESTROY THE OFFENDING BLACK PERSON. [MORE] 

Showcase Blacks are THE CREATIONS OF ELITE RACISTS, WHO FUNCTION AS THEIR SPONSORS, DISTRIBUTORS, MANAGERS, DONORS AND PRINCIPALS WHO "SHOWCASE" THEM. THEY ARE “coin-operated,” high-profile blacks that are constantly paraded before the public. Showcase Blacks are a necessary illusion of the racism/white supremacy system. They may be political dignitaries, pro athletes, entertainers, CELEBRITIES, business people, PUNDITS, elected officials OR APPOINTED AUTHORITIES. They are rewarded handsomely for their activities and their created personas are a career investment. But they are disposable and punished when they get out of line with their masters. Their real purpose is to mask the REALITY of being black in America.

From [HERE] Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a grand jury on charges connected to a federal probe, sources told The Post — as the defiant chief executive claimed he was being persecuted by the federal government for speaking out about the city’s migrant crisis.

The historic indictment — the first for a sitting modern New York City mayor — is expected to be unsealed Thursday by US Attorney Damian Williams, according to the sources. The news was first reported by the New York Times.

Adams will surrender to authorities early next week, sources said.

Details about the exact accusations remained unclear, but they are believed to be connected to allegations of the Turkish government illegally funneling money into his mayoral campaign in exchange for approval of the Turkish Consulate in Manhattan, according to sources.

Sources said the mayor is facing a charge of acting as an unregistered foreign agent after accepting donations from foreign entities.

“I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became,” Adams said in a statement to The Post.

“If I am charged, I am innocent, and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”

In a video statement released later, Adams said he wouldn’t step down and pledged to “fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”

“I will request an immediate trial so that New Yorkers can hear the truth. New Yorkers know my story. They know where I come from. I have been fighting injustice my entire life,” he continued.

“That fight has continued as your mayor. Despite our pleas, when the federal government did nothing as its broken immigration policies overloaded our shelter system with no relief, I put the people of New York before party and politics.”

Help is Still Not On the Way in North Carolina. Report says Feds are Turning Volunteers Away. 'They're Not Picking Up or Identifying the Bodies. They’re Just Leaving them to Rot in the Streets'

Storm Dropped like a bomb in North Carolina. From [HERE] and [HERE] Dr. Peter and Ginger Breggin just published an in-depth report on the human devastation caused by hurricane Helene and it is heartbreaking. The government and FEMA have abandoned these families. The report states:

It is no less than mass murder. Reports of a complete absence of state or federal assistance in the devastated areas hit by Hurricane Helene are now crowding the social media airwaves. Bodies floating down the rivers. Bodies hanging in trees. Tangled in piles of debris. Utility company linemen are the first into most of the demolished areas. They report finding children as young as three wandering naked in the mud, crying for their parents, some with ropes dangling from where their parents lashed them in desperation to timber. The smell of death is everywhere. About 1 million souls lived in these Western North Carolina counties, with additional souls dying in the mountains of Eastern Tennessee.  

FEMA Public Affairs Chief Locks Her X Account Amid Outrage Over Agency’s Disastrous Hurricane Response

Help is not coming

State and federal authorities have not been on site for the first week or so after the storm dropped like a bomb. There is no update on the number of dead, missing, and rescue of those who have survived other than local accounts. A report out of Asheville, the largest flooded out community in North Carolina, says some FEMA workers have just arrived with porta potties for the local inundated hospital which is still without any electricity or any water. Volunteers, community members, and now some aid workers beginning to trickle in are bringing the dead to the privately owned Mission hospital in Asheville, which is now designated the place to bring bodies in the region. FEMA is quoted as saying they are too tied up at the border and won’t be sending refrigerator trucks for body storage. FEMA also was overheard saying “add a couple zeros” to whatever the body count is right now…One local report on X cites reports of over 900 bodies already at the hospital that haven’t been identified.

A report out of Chimney Rock, NC said a ‘government official’ has told residents at a town meeting that the federal government is seizing land, and the entire area will be bulldozed--bodies, still-standing buildings, and all. One local pastor was going door to door with water, and found there were so many bodies that they changed their delivery request to body bags. “They are not picking up the bodies. They don’t wanna identify the bodies and they’re just leaving them to rot in the streets.” And “Something evil is going on in the NC mountains.”

The disaster region needs pilots with planes, helicopters, people with big equipment and trucks.  The 82nd airborne is still not ordered to participate in the rescue, their Apache helicopters are on the ground waiting for Title 10--the emergency order that is required to activate the 82nd airborne.

FEMA is AWOL

The federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is AWOL. The few FEMA representatives trickling in a week after disaster struck are actively disrupting volunteer efforts. Emergency supplies are being taken from volunteers and locked up, FEMA directs survivors to use nonexistent internet or telephones, and some state and federal officials are threatening volunteers and survivors with arrest. Federal relief is reported to be loans—and the contracts required state if funds are not paid back on time all property may be seized.

Unverified reports state North Carolina police have now issued a statement that they will start arresting any federal employees trying to stop or hinder rescue operations, have been debunked.

 Survivors of the hurricane and the floods are still without power more than a week after the storm and the rains--there is no date for restoration in sight. Food and water are running out or gone and small communities are still cut off.

Dehydrated and starving people have been abandoned

Dehydrated and starving people with no cell phones or other means of communication have been abandoned. A Brannon Howse media interview with the nonprofit Aerial Recovery organization confirmed the federal government absence and further confirmed that they were told not to conduct search, rescue, and recovery work in both Lake Lure and Chimney Rock when they arrived with former special forces volunteers, equipment, chain saws. The volunteer rescue crew were stopped and ordered to leave by the local police.

Elon Musk posted a video of the devastation filmed by some of his Space X engineers flying into North Carolina to deliver Starlink terminals and supplies. Musk said “my blood is boiling” because  FEMA would not let the Musk company helicopter land to deliver the critical supplies. [MORE]

Massa' Media Concealing Blight House Failure to Respond to Unprecedented Storm Destruction in NC to Protect Its Wooden Puppet, Kamala. Any Criticism of Lethargic FEMA Effort Called “Misinformation”

Appalachia: Murder always happens for a reason

From [HERE] and [HERE] As the people of North Carolina, Georgia, and surrounding states are struggling to recover from the devastation left by Hurricane Helene, questions are being raised about the Biden-Harris administration’s allocation of critical disaster relief funding. While hundreds remain missing in flood-ravaged Appalachian towns, with families waiting for federal assistance, it became apparent that more than a billion dollars of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds have been diverted for services to illegal immigrants.

According to The Federalist, FEMA, the agency responsible for coordinating emergency responses to natural disasters, redirected nearly $364 million in 2023 and an additional $650 million in 2024 to the “Shelter and Services Program.” This program, as described on the government’s own website referenced by the outlet, provides humanitarian assistance to non-citizen migrants released from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) short-term holding facilities. In collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), officials allocated these funds to support the “orderly and humane release” of migrants. This decision sparked sharp criticism, as prioritizing migrant assistance diverted resources from urgent domestic needs.

In a series of posts on X, AFL broke down the FEMA’s apparent shift in priorities under the Biden-Harris administration. For example, AFL argued that FEMA’s Emergency Food and Shelter Program has been reshaped to provide funding primarily to “families and individuals encountered by the Department of Homeland Security at the southern border,” also known as illegal migrants. According to AFL, $685 million in taxpayer dollars have been reallocated to fund services for these individuals. One of the posts read,

“Over the last 4 years the Biden-Harris admin has steadily transformed FEMA — the agency responsible for responding to natural disasters like Hurricane Helene — into an illegal alien resettlement agency that emphasizes DEI over public safety.” [MORE]

FBI Report Shows Dramatic Violent Crime Drop as 29 States Adopted “Constitutional Carry” laws

From [HERE] The FBI’s national crime report for 2023 shows a record-breaking decline in murders during a year when the number of states adopting so-called “constitutional carry” rose to 29, undercutting a popular—and obviously false—claim by the gun prohibition lobby that more guns result in more crime.

By no surprise, anti-gunners—including the national media—have ignored that fact. However, the popular HandgunLaw.us website has a complete list of all 29 permitless carry states with the dates their laws became effective.

According to the Brennan Center, “The bureau’s data closely aligns with predictions from independent experts, all of whom estimated steep drops in murders in 2023 and 2024 alike. Indeed, it’s clear that the 2020 murder spike that coincided with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic has substantially (but not completely) receded.”

A careful glance at the FBI National Instant Check System raw data for background checks suggests continued strong firearms transactions over the past few years. The FBI report was released a week ago, yet there has not been a lot of national ballyhoo.

As noted by Brennan, “Nearly all metrics of crime declined in 2023, with murder dropping most precipitously by a record-setting 11.6 percent. When broken down by rate — the number of offenses per 100,000 people — that is a decline of 12 percent. As a result, the national murder rate now hovers around levels last seen in 2017, which is roughly 11 percent higher than where it stood before the pandemic.”

While the updated concealed carry permit holders report for 2023 is not yet available from the Crime Prevention Research Center, it should be noted that the estimated number of active carry permits and licenses declined slightly last year from 2022, likely because of the adoption of permitless carry laws. There is really no way to estimate the number of law-abiding citizens carrying defensive sidearms under the “constitutional carry” laws, but the fact that violent crime has declined while such laws expanded to 29 states raises significant questions about the necessity for restrictive gun laws.

According to the FBI, “national violent crime decreased an estimated 3.0% in 2023 compared to 2022 estimates:

• Murder and non-negligent manslaughter recorded a 2023 estimated nationwide decrease of 11.6% compared to the previous year.

• In 2023, the estimated number of offenses in the revised rape category saw an estimated 9.4% decrease.

• Aggravated assault figures decreased an estimated 2.8% in 2023.

• Robbery showed an estimated decrease of 0.3% nationally. [MORE]
