Attorney Suing Bill Gates, Bourla, Schwab Over Covid Shot Injuries Arrested by Military Police and Imprisoned in Netherlands

/

A Dutch lawyer leading a lawsuit against billionaire Bill Gates, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and World Economic Forum chair Klaus Schwab over Coronavirus policies and Covid-19 vaccine injuries was arrested last month and thrown in prison as the trial was set to get underway.

Reports state attorney Arno van Kessel, who was representing the case alongside attorney Peter Stassen, was brutally arrested during a late-night raid at his home in Leeuwarden on June 11, with police accusing him and others of terrorism.

Van Kessel was “blindfolded, taken by military police, and is now being held in a maximum-security facility — without charges, and without access to his legal team or family,” according to The People’s Voice TV.

Dutch newspaper De Andere Krant described the nature of the lawsuit, writing, “These cases revolve around the central questions of whether the coronavirus policy is part of the globalist reform agenda ‘the Great Reset’ and whether the COVID-19 vaccine is a bioweapon.” 

“Skeptics suspect that linking Van Kessel to a criminal organization is intended to damage his reputation, which is intended to ensure that the substance of these cases is glossed over,” continued De Andere Krant. [MORE]

The False Conviction of Reiner Fuëllmich - Authoritites Kidnapped and Locked Up Attorney After He Investigated COVID Shots as Genocide and Attempted to Convene 2nd Nuremberg Trial

/

[MORE] The Corona Committee was established in July 2020 by Attorneys at Law Dr Reiner Fuellmich (agEt) Viviane Fischer, Dr Justus P. Hoffmann (agEt), and Antonia Fischer (agEt). Initially in English as the German Corona Investigative Committee, its present-day internet presence is in German: Corona Ausschuss (Corona Committee (agEt)). The Corona Committee seeks answers to the legal questions of whether the anti-Corona measures taken by the German federal and state governments against a possible overloading of the healthcare system (“flattening the curve”) and to prevent SARS-CoV2 deaths were suitable, necessary and proportionate – in accordance with the constitutional standard of review – or whether the collateral damage that occurred was culpably caused.

Dr. Reiner Fuellmich has been admitted to the bar in Germany and California for more than 25 years. Born and raised in Bremen, he attended school in Bremen and Farmington Hills, Michigan and studied law at Georg-August University in Göttingen and Los Angeles. Along the way he was a research assistant at the law faculty of Georg-August-U and received his doctorate there. Prior to founding his law firm in 1993, he worked in corporate banking for Deutsche Bank in Germany and Japan. Dr. Fuellmich has published various articles and books in the fields of banking law, medical law and private international law, has taught as a professor and lecturer at universities in Germany and Estonia, and is a member of the German American Lawyers Association, German Japanese Lawyers Association, German Lawyers Association, and Bürgerbewegung Finanzwende (Citizens’ movement financial turnaround e.V.). Additionally, Dr. Fuellmich is the founding chairman of the Corona Committee Foundation, and founding member of the interest group A-DuR (Aktion Demokratie und Recht/Action Democracy and Law) for the introduction of, among other things, genuine class actions in the sense of class action and a sanction-protected right of proof in the sense of discovery into civil procedural law for the purpose of creating equality of arms in legal disputes with structural imbalance due to the involvement of state bodies or corporations.

IsrAlien Minister: Gaza Will Be ‘Wiped Out’ and Will Become Totally Jewish

/

Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said on Thursday that Israel was working to “wipe out” the Gaza Strip and called for the Palestinian territory to be settled by Jews, saying it will become totally Jewish.

“The government is racing ahead for Gaza to be wiped out,” Eliyahu said in a radio interview, according to The Times of Israel. “Thank God, we are wiping out this evil. We are pushing this population that has been educated on Mein Kampf.”

The minister, who is a member of Itamar Ben Gvir’s Jewish Power party, said that Gaza will be cleared for Jewish settlements, but said that Jewish towns wouldn’t be “fenced in inside cantons.”

“All Gaza will be Jewish,” he said. According to the Times, Eliyahu said Arabs who are loyal to the state of Israel could be tolerated, but it’s unclear what that means. “We aren’t racists,” he said. [MORE]

An Offensive Shield — for Impunity, and Genocide: The Iron Dome and U.S. Complicity in Slaughter of Gazans

/

The House of Representatives has approved giving Israel an additional $1.3 billion in “emergency defense assistance” for its Iron Dome missile defense program, another installment of countless billions sent from the United States to intensify a one-sided war against the Palestinian people.

The Iron Dome system intercepts short range rockets (launched from 2.5 to 43 miles) through the joint work of the IDF, Israeli contractors, and U.S. weapons manufacturers like Raytheon. Radar batteries detect incoming missiles, calculate direction and threat level, and, if necessary, target the menacing projectile and speed interceptors to destroy it.

The Iron Dome destroys incoming rockets at high altitude, but, since its emplacement in 2011, the system has also functioned to enable Israel to conduct ethnic cleansing and perpetuate genocide with impunity in Gaza and the West Bank.

It has underwritten an astonishingly deadly campaign of collective punishment, with lengthy, targeted air, drone, and guided missile strikes in densely populated areas. These deadly attacks are carried out against a people who have no army, no shield, and no means of response.

When we fund one-sided protection without justice, we destroy the possibility of peace for them, and for ourselves. [MORE]

HHS Secretary Kennedy: Fauci Pardoned by Biden To Protect From Creation of COVID

/

From [HERE] Trump administration Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined journalist Tucker Carlson this week and made a series of stunning remarks, including suggesting the Sleepy Joe Biden autopen was used to pardon Dr. Anthony Fauci due to his involvement in creating and unleashing COVID-19.

“Why did he [Fauci] need immunity?” Kennedy asked Carlson. “Why did he need a pardon in advance?”

When Tucker asked for his opinion on why Dr. Fauci was pardoned, RFK Jr. answered, “I would be speculating, but I think he was vulnerable, I think he had a lot of liability on creating coronavirus. You know, he was funding precisely that research at the Wuhan lab and he was giving them the technology.

“He gave them, not only the precise technology for developing that parthenogen, and published about it by the way,” the HHS head continued. “The publications credit NIH for financing the studies. He [Fauci] also gave them one of his fundies Ralph Baric from the University of North Carolina, [who] developed a technique called the seamless ligation technique, which is a technique for hiding the laboratory origins of a manipulated virus.”

Kennedy explained Baric’s technique is capable of making a manmade virus appear to be of a natural origin, sarcastically asking, “What is the public health rationale?”

“If you were interested in public health, you would do the inverse,” he noted.

During another portion of the bombshell interview, RFK said the CDC was involved in the cover-up of the hepatitis B vaccine’s connection to an 1135% increase in autism risks. [MORE]

Federal Judge Sentenced White Georgia Deputy to 16 Months for His Role in an Assault by a Gang of Cops on Defenseless Black Man in Camden County Jail Cell. 3 Other Cops Face State Charges

/

From [HERE] A white sheriff’s deputy in Georgia has been sentenced to 16 months in federal prison for repeatedly punching a Black man during a violent jail cell assault caught on security video nearly three years ago.

U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood handed down the sentence Thursday to 27-year-old Ryan Biegel, who had pleaded guilty to a federal charge of violating Jarrett Hobbs’ civil rights by using excessive force. Hobbs, of Greensboro, North Carolina, had been jailed in Camden County on Sept. 3, 2022, after being arrested for traffic violations and drug possession.

Surveillance footage from inside the Camden County jail showed Hobbs standing alone in his cell when five deputies entered and surrounded him. The video captured at least three of the officers striking Hobbs in the head and neck before dragging him from the cell and slamming him into a hallway wall.

Biegel and two other deputies involved in the incident — all of whom are white — were fired and arrested more than two months later. The delay came after one of Hobbs’ attorneys obtained the video and released it to the public.

While only Biegel has faced federal charges, all three former deputies are still facing state charges of battery and violating their oaths of office, according to Camden County Superior Court records.

Hobbs, initially charged with aggravated battery, simple assault, and obstruction following the jail incident, had all charges dismissed due to lack of evidence. The original traffic and drug charges that led to his arrest were also dropped.

Black Man's Play "Freedom" Disrupted by Jacksonville Cops for Driving while Black w/o Headlights During the Day. No Cops Charged for Beating Him b/c Cops Have the Unjust Power to Use Force Offensively

DWB = Less Freedom for Blacks in Legal System Based on Force. From [HERE] and [HERE] Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters released body camera footage of the violent arrest of William Anthony McNeil, Jr., a 22-year-old Black man, after cellphone video capturing part of the incident went viral on social media.

The video shows sheriff's deputies beating and punching McNeil during a traffic stop after he repeatedly questioned why he was being pulled over and refused to exit his vehicle in an incident that occurred on Feb. 19, 2025.

Waters said that "the State Attorney's Office has determined that none of the involved officers violated criminal law," but highlighted that the deputies' actions are now being examined in an "administrative review," which will determine if the deputies "violated JSO policy." He also identified the deputy who broke the car window and punched McNeil as officer D. Bowers.

"These administrative reviews are ongoing, but the State Attorney's Office has determined that none of the involved officers violated criminal law, even though the administrative review has yet to be completed," Waters said.

"Pending the outcome of this administrative review, Officer Bowers has been stripped of his law enforcement authority," Waters said. It is unclear if other deputies involved in the arrest have been placed on administrative leave. ABC News has reached out to JSO and the Florida State Attorney's Office for further comment. [MORE]

A FREE RANGE PRISON. Authorities and “dependent media” often mischaracterize police stops of Black drivers and Black citizens as ‘minor intrusions’ or temporary interferences with their freedom. For example, NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg, an elite white liberal, attacked a NYC court decision which ruled stop and frisk unconstitutional, by claiming, “stop and frisk is not racial profiling.” In reality, the pervasive use of authority to arbitrarily stop law abiding Black people against their volition terrorizes and degrades their humanity and “citizenship” and chills their inherent human right to freedom of movement.

Black scholars Naa Kwate and Shatema Threadcraft explain that unlawful stops of Black people lead to “Embodied stress, fear and trauma” because “the subject knows that any encounter may well end in death—and moreover, that the death may go unpunished.” The frequency of such “routine” stops ‘produces bodies that are harassed, stressed and resource deprived, if not altogether dead.’ Kwate and Threadcraft state, “Even those who are not stopped fear being stopped, fear death, and thus also find themselves in the grip of this form of necropower.” The omnipresent threat of being stopped for no reason by police is a form of “torture-lite” according to scholar Paul Butler. Here, the difference between adherent rights and inherent rights should be understood. FUNKTIONARY explains,

adherent rights – privileges disguised as so-called “rights” created by men via deceptive word-manipulation in written form called “symbolaeography,” and legal documents. 2) privileges granted by an apparent or putative authority at the expense of one's inherent or unalienable ‘rights.’ Also, “rights deriving from the corporate government (against itself) that can be liened against or taken away at any time by the creator or grantor of the bestowed right or benefit.”

inherent rights – unalienable and unassailable rights. Also, “All individual’s have unalienable rights. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. [MORE]

“rights” – useful fictions declared in order to make agents of another type of fiction (“government”) have to play along in their deadly theatrical (tragicomedy) game. 2) mere fictions, the contemplation of which leads only to a progressive social, personal, racial and jurisprudential separation from reality. Discussion and debates about “rights” merely evades the FAQ, i.e., the frequently avoided question of who is to enforce any “right” and who will benefit from the pretense. [MORE]

unalienable rights –You can't surrender, sell or transfer unalienable rights, they are a gift from the creator to the individual and can't under any circumstances be surrendered or taken. [MORE]

Hans Buchheim explains, ‘The humanity of each person is the interior reference point of every natural or inherent right. We are all naturally endowed with rights - rights that we possess because we are human beings (regardless of whether we have earned them or are deemed worthy of them by a government authority) – these rights are not given or taken away. Said rights are necessary to human dignity and autonomy - among other things, these natural rights include the right of freedom of movement, the right to be free from detentions, seizures, searches and the right to be left the fuck alone.’

Pervasive, arbitrary stops function to “niggerize,” degrade humanity and humiliate Blacks in public, rendering them “unsafe, unprotected, subjected and subjugated to random violence” by government authority. The undeceiver Jeremy Locke points out that “slavery is not a concept of totality . . . The ultimate slavery is murder . . . Slavery is found both in the partial and complete destruction of freedom.” Prolific stops by cops everywhere a large number of Black people reside, inhibit their freedom of movement and function as a tool to keep Blacks confined to a physical, social and symbolic space. Thus, elites use arbitrary stops to help dominate Black people and control their movements by force. Such stops are a form of slavery. The result is a 2nd class “citizenship” for Blacks. Legal scholar Charles Epps observes, “police stops convey powerful messages about citizenship and equality. Across millions of stops, these experiences are translated into common stories about who is an equal member of a rule-governed society and who is subjected to arbitrary surveillance and inquiry.” FUNKTIONARY makes it plain, “People who are awake see cops as mercenary security guards that remind us daily, through acts of force, that we are simultaneously both enemies and slaves of the Corporate State”

White Louisville officer sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison for excessive force in Breonna Taylor raid

Brett Hankison, 49, a former Louisville Metro Police officer, has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for using excessive force during the 2020 raid that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor.Brett Hankison, 49, a former Louisville Metro Police officer, has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for using excessive force during the 2020 raid that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor.

Court Allows Amir Locke Lawsuit to Proceed: Black Man Shot to Death by Minneapolis Cop During Early Morning Raid. No Charges from “Black” Prosecutor

/

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has ruled a lawsuit against a Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed Amir Locke three years ago can move forward.

Amir Locke was sleeping on his cousin’s couch in Minneapolis on the morning of Feb. 2, 2022, when a SWAT team burst into the room. Locke, who was not the person officers were looking for was fatally shot by officer Mark Hanneman about eight seconds after police entered, according to the complaint. 

Locke’s parents, Karen Wells and Andre Locke, sued the city of Minnesota last year, alleging that their son’s constitutional rights were violated, that the Minneapolis Police Department failed to adequately train officers and that the department has a history of using excessive force and no-knock warrants against people of color.

In an interview with MPR News on Friday, a lawyer for the Locke family said the body camera footage is murky.

“He was not given the opportunity to save himself,” said attorney Jeff Storms. “And we see, obviously, support for those arguments by us and what we believe to be the truth.”

Two months after Locke’s death, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and former Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced that they would not criminally charge Hanneman for Locke’s killing, saying that state law gives officers wide discretion in using lethal force if they believe someone was being threatened with death or great bodily harm.  [MORE]

On February 2, 2022, police unlocked and opened a door with a key to an apartment at approximately 6:48 a.m. Police body camera footage reviewed by reporters "showed several officers quickly rushing into the apartment at the same time", several yelling "Police! Search warrant!", one officer yelling "Hands, hands!", and another yelling "Get on the ground!" Locke was lying on a couch wrapped in a blanket,and an officer kicked the couch. Locke then sat up and turned toward the officers while holding a gun, and in a still image released by police, his trigger finger is along the barrel of the gun, not the trigger. Hanneman then shot him twice in the chest and once in the wrist. The time from when police entered the unit, to when Locke was shot, was less than 10 seconds.[21]

Locke was treated at the scene and transported to Hennepin Healthcare, where emergency medics pronounced him dead at 7:01 a.m

WA Agency To Investigate Leonard Thomas 2013 Shooting: 30 SWAT Cops Responded to Domestic Call w/a Tank, Helicopter and Snipers. Murdered Black Man Holding His Son. No Cops Charged by White Prosecutor

/

PIERCE COUNTY PROSECUTOR MARK LINDQUIST, RACIST SUSPECT IN PHOTO ABOVE, CONCLUDED THE SHOOTING WAS LAWFUL AND DETERMINED THE SWAT SNIPER "DID WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO PROTECT A CHILD."

From [HERE] A criminal investigation into the fatal 2013 police shooting of an unarmed Black man in Fife will be reopened under Washington’s new review process for cases where law enforcement has used lethal force.

This is the first such case the state’s nascent Office of Independent Investigations has sent to prosecutors to take another look at.After an investigation by police across Pierce County, prosecutors found the fatal shooting justified. 

“Officer Markert, an expert marksman, did what was necessary to protect a child,” Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said at the time.

In 2017, a federal court jury awarded Thomas’ parents and son more than $15 million after they sued the cities of Lakewood and Fife, as well as specific officers. After an appeal, a settlement dropped the payout to $12.5 million.

At trial, Markert had claimed he shot Thomas out of fear for the child. The unanimous jury obviously did not find him to be credible witness.

The city of Lakewood paid $13 million to the family of Leonard Thomas, an unarmed black man who was killed four years ago as he clutched his 4-year-old son following an unnecessary four-hour standoff.

The city of Lakewood, Zaro and two of his officers, Sgt. Brian Markert and Officer Mike Wiley, were the focus of the verdict, which levied $8.6 million in compensatory damages to Thomas’ parents and 9-year-old son, and an unprecedented $6.5 million in punitive damages against Zaro ($3 million), Markert ($2 million) and Wiley ($1.5 million).

The incident was tragically avoidable and that the arrival of the SWAT team - which surrounded the home and parked an armored-personnel carrier on Thomas' front lawn - escalated a minor domestic argument into a siege

In 2017, a unanimous verdict by a jury in U.S. District Court in Seattle found the cities of Lakewood and Fife and members of the Pierce County Metro SWAT team committed 14 separate civil-rights violations that night. Thomas never displayed a firearm and never threatened police or his son, according to testimony at trial. No guns were found in his house.

Attorney Tiffany Cartwright, one of the lawyers representing Thomas' parents and his now 9-year-old son, told the jury that nothing that the drunken, despondent, bipolar man did warranted a massive police response the night of May 23, 2013, for a misdemeanor, domestic-violence offense. Two armored vehicles and at least 27 officers responded, including the Pierce Metro SWAT team.

Based on photographs introduced in trial, the majority, if not all, of the officers were white. Attorneys for Thomas' family said in court documents that the case was "steeped in race."

Cartwright also told the jury the situation was "that close" to resolving peacefully when Zaro ordered an assault team to breach the back of the home using plastic explosives to blow down a door. They also shot the family dog five times. 

Witnesses said officers had to punch the dying man several times to pry the child out of his arms, and that his last words were, "Don't hurt my boy." [MORE]

The panel had singled out Lakewood Police Chief Mike Zaro — then an assistant chief — and Lakewood officers Sgt. Brian Markert and Mike Wiley for punitive damages totaling $6.5 million, finding their actions were particularly egregious and led to Thomas’ unnecessary death.

Zaro was in command that night and gave the orders that led to the shooting. Markert, the sniper, shot Thomas in the stomach with a precision high-powered rifle. Wiley led an assault team that blew down the back door of Thomas’ house and killed the family dog, Baxter.

The settlement, which came as the case was being considered by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on an appeal by the city, provides that Lakewood will pay just $1 million from its own coffers. The largest portion, $11.5 million, will be paid by the Washington Cities Insurance Authority. Fife already settled with the Thomas family and estate for $500,000. The settlement also includes attorneys’ fees of nearly $2 million.

The family settled last month to avoid a prolonged appeal, said plaintiff’s attorney John Connelly, who represented Thomas’ estate and his 9-year-old son at trial.

Thomas’ mother had called police that night, seeking to help her son who was intoxicated after being sober for a year and in crisis over the death of a friend.

The Metro Pierce County SWAT team, a multiagency operation, responded with more than 20 heavily armed officers and an armored vehicle, which they drove onto Thomas’ front yard. Over the next four hours, Thomas repeatedly told police to go away and officers agreed he had committed a misdemeanor assault on his mother at best.

In a statement, the city of Lakewood said that “this agreement does not erase the events that transpired … or the lasting effects of Mr. Thomas’ death on his family and the police officers involved, but the city hopes it will provide closure and help everyone move forward with the healing process.”

Weak Liberal DA's Fail to Convict Officers (2nd Time) for their Murder of Tyre Nichols Despite Several Videos Showing Cops Torture and Beat Defenseless Black Man to Death after Baseless Traffic Stop

/

What is Amy Goodman talking about? In the 1st trial federal prosecutors failed to convict any cops of the most serious charges they were charged with. The 3 Memphis police officers were found guilty of federal witness tampering charges. But all three defendants were acquitted of the more serious charge of violating his civil rights by causing his death.

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. [MORE]

DEFENSELESS BLACK MAN BEGGED BARBARIC COPS FOR HIS LIFE. A Tennessee jury cleared three Memphis police officers Wednesday of all state charges stemming from the fatal beating of a Black motorist that sparked protests across the country two years ago.

Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith were found not guilty of second-degree murder, among other charges, in the death of Tyre Nichols.

Shelby County Criminal Court Judge James Jones Jr. ordered the men released immediately — though the defendants are still on the hook for federal convictions connected to the beating death.

Each of the three defendants faced a count of second-degree murder, a count of aggravated assault, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, two counts of official misconduct and a count of official oppression. They were acquitted of all.

Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy told reporters outside the courtroom that he and his team are "obviously disappointed" by the verdict.

The three officers cleared on Wednesday and one-time colleagues Desmond Mills Jr. and Emmitt Martin are set to be sentenced in federal court during the week of June 16. [MORE]

According to the complaint filed in the civil case (atty Ben Crump);

Nichols was two minutes away from his home when he was stopped by MPD at 8:24 p.m. on January 7, 2023. Officers Haley, Martin, and Preston Hemphill[32]conducted the initial stop of Nichols' at the intersection East Raines Road and Ross Road,[33] with police vehicles surrounding his car on three sides. The body-worn camera footage released by the City of Memphis on January 27, does not "show any activity earlier than an officer responding to a stop in progress ..."[34]

Haley and Martin were at the traffic stop when Hemphill arrived at 8:24 p.m.[35][15] By 8:25 p.m., Haley[36] pulled Nichols out of his car as Nichols said: "I didn't do anything."[35] An officer shouted: "Get on the fuckin' ground" and moments later an officer shouted "I'm gonna tase your ass."[37] Officers pushed Nichols to the ground. At about 8:25:45 p.m., Nichols was laying on his side in the road - an officer had Nichols' left hand, a second officer had Nichols' right hand, a third officer held a taser against Nichols' left leg while also using his right hand to hold Nichols to the ground.[35] From the moment that Nichols was pulled from the car, to being held on the ground, officers simultaneously yelled numerous commands, threats, expletives, and made "assaultive comments"[15] at him. While being held on the ground an officer continued to yell for Nichols to lay down. Nichols responded "I am on the ground". An officer yelled back "Lay on your stomach". Moments later, Haley, deployed pepper spray against Nichols[15], which hit several of the other officers.[37] Nichols broke free and began to run. Hemphill, against regulations,[38] deployed his taser at Nichols. At 8:26 p.m., Nichols began running south on Ross Road, as he was pursued by at least two officers. Two more police units arrived at the scene around 8:29 p.m.[39] Footage showed that one officer who remained at the area of the traffic stop said, "I hope they stomp his ass".[40]

At 8:33 p.m., Officers Bean, Mills, and Smith caught up to Nichols and had him on the ground at Castlegate Lane and Bear Creek which is approximately a half a mile (800 meters) away from the original traffic stop.[36] Footage from a pole-mounted CCTV camera showed an officer using his leg to push Nichols hard to the ground. Between 8:33 p.m. and 8:36 p.m. Nichols was punched, then pepper sprayed a second time, then kicked in the upper torso numerous times by a fourth officer, then an officer can be heard yelling "I'm going to baton the fuck out of you." before striking Nichols several times with a baton, then punched five times in the face by one officer.[41][42] The video footage showed officers had control of Nichols' arms when he was struck with the baton, kicked, and successively punched in the face 5 times.[43][44] A fifth officer arrived, as Nichols was on the ground and in the process of being handcuffed, and kicked him in the upper torso, which was followed by another kick to the upper torso by another officer. Fox News reported that in the videos, "Nichols can be heard calling out to his mother before police beat him into a daze".[34] Nichols' conduct has been initially described as non-resisting[45] and non-violent;[15] there is no indication that he struck back at the officers.[46]

By 8:37 p.m., Nichols was handcuffed and limp; officers propped him against the side of a police car.[47] After Nichols was on the ground, the involved officers convened and shared their stories about the arrest. In the body-worn camera footage, Michael Ruiz of Fox News reported, "officers can be heard discussing his alleged driving, 'swerving' and nearly hitting one of them".[48] One officer bragged: "I was hitting him with straight haymakers, dog", while another exclaimed: "I jumped in, started rocking him."[49]

Medics arrived around 8:41 p.m. but did not begin to assist Nichols until 16 minutes later. An ambulance arrived at 9:02 p.m. and took Nichols to St. Francis Hospital at 9:18 p.m. after he complained of shortness of breath.[39]

On scene, video footage showed officers issued at least 71 commands over 13 minutes; The New York Times described the orders as "often simultaneous and contradictory" and "sometimes even impossible to obey". The Times cited one such example of many, where an officer shouted "Give me your fucking hands!" while Nichols had one officer pinning his arms behind his back, a second officer holding his handcuffed wrist, and a third officer punching Nichols' face.[50][51][52][15] One former police officer described the officers' interaction with Nichols as having "started with poor communication" and going downhill from there.[51]

On January 8, the department stated that the traffic stop of Nichols was due to reckless driving.[53][54] On January 27, Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn J. Davis stated that her department reviewed footage, including from body cameras regarding the traffic stop and the arrest, to "determine what that probable cause was and we have not been able to substantiate that – ... It doesn't mean that something didn't happen, but there's no proof."[53][54][55]

THE CRIME IS “AUTHORITY” - THE GOVERNMENT’S IMPLIED RIGHT TO RULE - A LEGAL SYSTEM BASED ON PHYSICAL COERCION [SLAVERY]

Poll: Black Americans are the most religious group [sleeping toms are among the most manipulatable persons, pliable to authority]

/

From [HERE] In the United States, where religion is “very” or “somewhat” important according to nearly two-thirds of adults, one racial group stands out when it comes to practicing their faith, a new poll found.

The Public Religion Research Institute American Values Atlas poll based religious activity on three categories: how often people pray, how often they read the Bible or another sacred text, and how often they attend religious services.

The poll surveyed 22,260 U.S. adults between March 13 and Dec. 2, 2024, and has a margin of error of 0.84 percentage points.

Black Americans ranked more devout in each category than white Americans and Hispanic Americans, according to the poll. The group also had higher rankings in each category than Americans overall, the poll found.

This may help explain why, according to survey results, Black Americans are also more likely to hold Christian nationalist beliefs, researchers said, adding that these views are more heavily present among those who attend religious services often.

“Such a finding is initially counterintuitive, given that the most outspoken Christian nationalist leaders are far less likely to be racially diverse and that Black Americans identify as Democratic, and vote for Democratic candidates, at much higher levels than other Americans,” researchers said.

Black Americans also ranked higher when it came to holding charismatic beliefs and worship practices, like “speaking in tongues, believing in divine healing, or having experienced the ‘Spirit’ empowering them or someone else to do a specific task,” the poll found. These theological beliefs are correlated to Christian nationalist views among Americans, researchers said.

According to the poll, 62% of Black Americans said they personally pray one or more times a week — the only racial group to have a majority that said this. They ranked 14 percentage points higher than Americans overall for praying, per the poll.

Forty-seven percent of white Americans and 48% of Hispanic Americans said they pray weekly or more, the poll found.

Thirty-nine percent of Black Americans said they read the Bible or another sacred text weekly or more, about 15 percentage points higher than how white and Hispanic Americans responded, which was 23% and 24%, respectively, per the poll.

When it came to how often each group attended religious services, Black Americans again ranked higher, with 32% who said they attended weekly or more, according to the poll.

Twenty-four percent of white Americans and 22% of Hispanic Americans said they went to religious services once a week or more, per the poll.
