Israel Used US Weapons to Bomb Hundreds of Schools in Gaza, HRW says

The Israeli military has “unlawfully and indiscriminately” used US-supplied munitions to bomb hundreds of school shelters in Gaza, killing hundreds of civilians, according to a damning new report by Human Rights Watch (HRW).

Titled Gaza: Israeli School Strikes Magnify Civilian Peril, the report documents over 500 Israeli airstrikes on school buildings, many of which were being used as shelters by displaced Palestinians.

HRW investigated two specific attacks on schools, the Khadija girls’ school in Deir al-Balah and Zeitoun C school in Gaza City, where at least 49 people were killed, including children.

In both cases, HRW found no evidence of military targets, rendering the strikes “unlawfully indiscriminate” under international law. The Israeli military frequently claims that it targets school shelters in Gaza where Palestinian resistance fighters have been hiding.

“Israeli strikes on schools sheltering displaced families provide a window into the widespread carnage that Israeli forces have carried out in Gaza,” said Gerry Simpson, HRW’s associate director for crisis, conflict, and arms. [MORE]

[Israel First] US Government Participates in Real Crime Emergency: Israeli Forces Murder 123 Palestinians in 24 Hours, Another 8 people starved to death due to the US-backed Israeli blockade

From [HERE] Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Wednesday that Israeli forces killed 123 Palestinians and wounded 437 over the previous 24-hour period as the IDF is intensifying strikes on Gaza City and areas to the north.

Heavy US-backed Israeli attacks have continued throughout the day on Wednesday, and medical sources told Al Jazeera that at least 45 people were killed in Gaza City. The IDF has ramped up its attacks on Gaza City since the Israeli cabinet approved a plan to completely take over the city.

Residents of Gaza City told Reuters that many homes were destroyed by overnight Israeli airstrikes in the eastern neighborhoods of Zeitoun and Shujaiyya. Al Jazeera journalists also reported intensified attacks on areas to the north of Gaza City, including Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, and Jabalia, cities that have already been almost entirely destroyed.

Israeli troops have continued massacring desperate Palestinians seeking aid. The Health Ministry said that it recorded the deaths of 21 Palestinians who were attempting to get food, bringing the total number of aid seekers killed since the end of May to 1,859.

Staff at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, told The Associated Press that at least 14 Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops in an area about 1.8 miles from a distribution site run by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Another five Palestinians were killed while trying to reach an aid site near the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza.

On top of the violent deaths, Palestinians continue to die of starvation due to the US-backed Israeli blockade. The Health Ministry said that it recorded eight deaths due to famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, including three children. “This brings the total number of victims of famine and malnutrition to 235, including 106 children,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.

The Health Ministry said that the violent death toll since October 7, 2023, has reached 61,722, and the number of wounded has climbed to 154,525. Studies have found that the ministry’s numbers are likely a significant undercount.

Police Chief Trump's Unelected Crime Boss Jeanine Pirro Vows Revenge on Upper Crust White Guy Who Threw Subway Sandwich @ Federal Cop. Bolsters 'Crime Stats' by Overcharging Simple Assault as a Felony

From [HERE] D.C. U.S. Attorney General Jeanine Pirro announced on Wednesday that a white man seen on video throwing a sandwich at a federal officer is now facing federal charges. 

The incident happened around 11 p.m. on 14th Street. 

According to police, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent was in the area with other CBP agents and members of Metro Transit Police when the suspect, 37-year-old D.C. resident Sean Dunn, began yelling at the officer. 

A police affidavit states that Dunn told the officer, "f*** you! You f***ing fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!" 

Officials say Dunn continued his conduct for several minutes before crossing the street and continuing to yell obscenities at the officer. He then threw a sandwich at the officer and ran away. 

He was apprehended and was taken to the MPD Third District police department to be processed. 

He reportedly told an investigator, "I did it. I threw a sandwich." 

Dunn is now facing a federal assault charge. Online court records don't list an attorney for Dunn.

D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro put out a video on Wednesday addressing the incident. 

"The president's message to the criminals was, ‘if you spit, we hit," she says in the video. 

"He thought it was funny. Well, he doesn't think it's funny today because we charged him with a felony—assault on a police officer. And we're going to back the police to the hilt. So there! Stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else!" Pirro said before crossing her arms and smirking. 

Enforcing Black People's Play "Rights" a Low Priority to Racist Authorities: No Charges for Slave Catchers in Violent William McNeil Arrest. Stopped for Driving While Black w/o Lights During the Day

A Jacksonville, Florida, sheriff's deputy seen on video striking a Black college student in the face during an arrest that began with an unlawful traffic stop will not face criminal charges in connection with the Feb. 19 incident, prosecutors announced on Wednesday.

The announcement, in the case involving 22-year-old William McNeil Jr., came in an 16-page memo released by the state attorney for the 4th Judicial Circuit Court, which serves Clay, Duval, and Nassau counties in Florida.

"The State Attorney's Office has reviewed this matter to determine whether any of Officer [D.] Bowers' actions constitute a crime. We conclude they do not," the memo stated. [MORE]

A 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.

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”

Another Black Person's Lawsuit Dismissed w/o a Trial: NY Judge Rules Against Black Firefighter Injured by COVID Shot w/Permanent Heart Damage. Forced to Get Injected or Be Fired by NYC Government

mRNA COVID injections are not “vaccines” within the meaning of Supreme Court case precedent because they don’t prevent transmission or provide immunity from COVID. As such, COVID shots are simply medical treatments and do not the pass strict scrutiny under the Constitution because individuals have the fundamental right to refuse medical treatment. [MORE]

From [HERE] Black New York City firefighter O’Brian Pastrana, who was forced to retire after he was diagnosed with permanent heart damage following the mandated COVID-19 shot, is not entitled to financial compensation for his losses, a federal judge ruled last week.

U.S. District Judge Brian M. Cogan ruled that none of Pastrana’s fundamental rights were violated when he was denied a medical exemption — even though he experienced a severe reaction to the first shot — and compelled to either get fully vaccinated or be fired by the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) (city run by elite liberals).

Cogan said the vaccine mandate wasn’t to blame for Pastrana’s injury, as he claimed. “In this case, Pastrana always had a choice between receiving the vaccine and keeping his job.”

Pastrana also “was free to decide between taking the vaccine or seeking different employment” in another department or a neighboring state, Cogan ruled. And he was “free not to receive the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, potentially sacrificing his career.” As a result, the city can’t be held accountable for his injuries, Cogan ruled.

Based on the facts presented, Cogan granted the city’s motion for summary judgment, ruling in the city’s favor without a trial.

Christina Martinez, one of Pastrana’s attorneys, said the court sidestepped the unconstitutional conditions doctrine, which prohibits the government from conditioning a public benefit, like employment, on the waiver of a constitutional right.

Ben Crump says Video Proves a PA Parole Agent Murdered Marchello Woodard; Police Claim a Cop Shot Him b/c He was Dragged by the Black Man's Car But Video Shows It Hadn't Moved When Shots were Fired

From [HERE] The family of Marchello D. Woodard — the 43-year-old Erie man fatally shot by a state parole agent on July 2 — now has heavyweight legal backing.

Ben Crump, the prominent civil rights attorney who represented the families of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor in two of the most high-profile police killing cases in recent years, is now representing the Woodard family.

Crump, along with Philadelphia attorney Thomas Fitzpatrick, joined Woodard’s family Aug. 7 at Second Baptist Church in Erie, pledging to a lively crowd their intention to fight for justice in the shooting death of Woodard, who was Black.

At the heart of their argument, the attorneys said they obtained video from community members that contradicts the Pennsylvania State Police account — that a state parole agent shot Woodard because Woodard was dragging the agent with Woodard’s car along East 27th Street. 

Instead, Crump claims, the footage shows the car was stationary when the agent opened fire.

“The video is the most important piece of evidence,” Crump said. “Regardless of what the parole officers put in their reports — if it doesn’t match up with the video, then we know that it’s not true because we ain’t blind and we can see the video.”

"The case is on the video,” Crump said. “They fired those shots and that car had not moved.”

He added, “It was wrong to use unnecessary, excessive force … this was an unnecessary shooting, this was an unjustified shooting and this was an unconstitutional shooting of Marchello Woodard.”

Crump is calling for the parole agent’s arrest. He emphasized that while the district attorney and state attorney general have the authority to bring criminal charges, his legal team has the discretion to file a wrongful death lawsuit if justice is not served.

“It’s about equal justice,” he said. “You should not be able to kill somebody unjustifiably just because you have a badge and a gun. This is America. And the Constitution and due process and equal justice matter.”

District attorney Claims to Still Be Reviewing Evidence

Fitzpatrick said they have already spoken with Erie County District Attorney Beth Hirz but stressed that the decision on whether to charge the parole agent rests with her.

“If they don’t like our video, then they should have their own video,” Fitzpatrick said. “If (the parole agents) were wearing body cams, they would have their own video.”

The parole agents were not wearing body cameras because state parole agents do not have them, according to the state Department of Corrections. A department spokeswoman said the department is in the process of buying body cameras.

The White Camden County Cop who Killed Leonard Cure Faces Federal Charges of Excessive Force in Multiple Arrests

A white Camden County deputy who fatally shot a Florida man during a traffic stop is now facing federal charges related to repeated use of excessive force during arrests.

Staff Sergeant Buck Aldridge, who was relieved of duty following a federal grand jury indictment, is accused not only of excessive force but also of preparing misleading reports to justify his actions.

The U.S. Department of Justice indictment alleges Aldridge committed civil rights violations in multiple cases and falsified records to support his use of force.

Georgia civil rights activist Christina Kittle, who has been closely following the case, expressed concern over the timing of Aldridge’s removal from duty. “The fact that the Officer is just now being relieved of duty is concerning,” she said.

Aldridge gained national attention after a 2023 traffic stop of 53-year-old Leonard Cure, which ended with Aldridge shooting Cure to death. The stop occurred in October 2023 on I-95 near the Florida-Georgia line. However, it remains unclear if the shooting of Cure is among the specific use-of-force incidents cited in the federal indictment.

Kittle reacted to the indictment’s 13 counts against Aldridge, calling it a reflection of a broader systemic issue. “The fact that the officer had a record showing multiple counts of excessive force — that goes back to being a systemic issue.

“There’s no accountability for these officers. The first incident of excessive force should’ve been looked into, but I think the indictment said there were like 13 cases. That should’ve never piled up that high… so yeah, needs to be a bigger look into the institution entirely.”

She also stressed that routine traffic stops like Cure’s should never escalate to gunfire.

“Traffic stops are the most common interactions that everyday people have with police officers. I don’t wanna live in a world where they end in violence.”

Dashcam and bodycam footage from the traffic stop show a confrontation that escalated rapidly, culminating in Aldridge shooting Cure at point-blank range after deploying a stun gun.

“Who holds the accountable. Why is it up to the community to be the ones to have to finally lose somebody for there to be accountability? It should never have to come to that,” Kittle added.

Leonard Cure was exonerated just three years before his death, after spending 16 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Following the shooting, Cure’s family filed a $16 million federal lawsuit accusing Aldridge of excessive force and former Sheriff Jim Proctor of failing to address the deputy’s violent history. [MORE]

After a Jury Found an LA Cop Guilty of a Felony For His Attack on a Black Woman Fed Prosecutor Dropped the Felony Charge and Court Rewarded Cop w/a 4 Month Sentence - 3 Prosecutors Resign in Protest

From [HERE] and [HERE] Federal prosecutors Tuesday moved to dismiss the indictment and vacate the judgment in the case of a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy whose original felony conviction for assaulting and pepper-spraying a Black woman was reduced to a misdemeanor by a judge who then sentenced him to four months behind bars.

The controversial plea agreement triggered the resignation of multiple federal prosecutors, according to reporting by the Los Angeles Times.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Eli A. Alcaraz and Brian R. Faerstein, along with section chief Cassie Palmer, resigned in protest after the new U.S. Attorney approved a post-trial plea deal for Deputy Trevor Kirk. Kirk had been found guilty of a felony for assaulting and pepper-spraying a woman outside a Lancaster WinCo supermarket in 2023. [MORE]

The U.S. Attorney’s Office filed its unopposed motion in Los Angeles federal court for a judge’s order to dismiss the indictment, vacate the judgment and exonerate Trevor Kirk’s bond.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson last month granted in part the government’s motion to dismiss the allegations in Kirk’s indictment that raised his conviction from a misdemeanor to a felony. While the court tossed the felony allegations, it did not strike any portion of the jury verdict, which found Kirk guilty of using unreasonable force.

However, Wilson did reject a portion of the post-conviction plea deal that stipulated a sentence of one year probation for the misdemeanor conviction.

Kirk, 32, of Santa Clarita was convicted in federal court in February of one felony count of deprivation of rights under color of law for the force used in June 2023 during an encounter with a woman during a shoplifting investigation outside a supermarket in Lancaster.

At the beginning of May, the U.S. Attorney’s Office filed an unusual post-conviction plea and sentencing agreement in which Kirk would plead guilty to a misdemeanor and admit under oath that he “used unnecessary force.”

The plea deal — which required Wilson’s approval — overturned the jury’s felony verdict and reduced Kirk’s possible prison exposure of 10 years to one year.

Following the filing of the post-conviction plea agreement, four federal prosecutors withdrew from the case.

Kirk’s attorney, Tom Yu, has described his client as a “hero, not a criminal.”

Now, the U.S. Attorney’s Office wants to drop the entire case.

“We thought Trump’s new U.S. Attorney’s Office could not stoop any lower, but it seems like Mr. Essayli and Mr. Keenan’s insistence on being Trevor Kirk’s BEST defense attorney has no limits,”  civil rights attorney Caree Harper wrote in an email to City News Service, referring to Bill Essayli, the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J. Keenan, one of the prosecutors in the case.

In March, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Professional Association said the initial prosecution of Kirk was “wrongful and politically charged” and his actions, as seen on body-worn camera video, were “lawful, restrained, and aligned with training.”

Association President Cesar Romero said the union “stands unwaveringly” with Kirk.

“This isn’t just about one deputy — it’s an assault on every law enforcement officer who puts their life on the line daily,” Romero said in a statement. “We will not back down. Trevor has our full support, and we will fight alongside him and his loved ones until justice is restored.”

Evidence showed Kirk and another deputy were responding on June 24, 2023, to a possible robbery at WinCo Foods by a man and a woman. According to court papers, Kirk and his fellow deputy arrived at the scene, handcuffed a man matching the suspect’s description and detained him, while a woman fitting the description of the second suspect recorded the deputies with her phone.

The indictment states that Kirk then approached the woman — identified as Jacy Houseton — and attempted to grab her phone without issuing any commands. The woman turned away, prompting Kirk to grab her arm, hook his left hand behind her neck and forcefully throw her to the ground, prosecutors said.

While on the ground, Kirk yelled at Houseton to “get on the ground,” and she told him the video had already been posted on YouTube, according to the indictment.

Federal prosecutors initially said Kirk then placed his knee on the woman’s shoulder, and when she yelled for him to stop and used an expletive, he pulled his right arm back with a clenched fist and threatened to punch her in the face.

The indictment says Kirk used his department radio to call in a misleading report that he was in a fight.

Court papers further state that shortly thereafter, without giving any additional commands to Houseton, Kirk sprayed her twice in the face with pepper spray. The woman received medical attention for the spray and injuries received from being thrown to the ground, evidence shows.

The jury heard that Kirk then drafted and submitted a misleading report to the sheriff’s department in which he portrayed Houseton as a threat to his physical safety, claiming that the woman assaulted him, attempted to hit him and took a “fighting” stance.

At the time charges were filed last year, the sheriff’s department said Kirk was relieved of duty pending the outcome of the case.

Now, the U.S. Attorney’s Office wants to drop the entire case.

“We thought Trump’s new U.S. Attorney’s Office could not stoop any lower, but it seems like Mr. Essayli and Mr. Keenan’s insistence on being Trevor Kirk’s BEST defense attorney has no limits,”  civil rights attorney Caree Harper wrote in an email to City News Service, referring to Bill Essayli, the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J.

White Clark County Cops Had No Proof Jenoah Donald Had Drugs but They Stopped Him Anyway. Then Cops Pretended a Screw Driver in the Car was Deadly so They Fatally Shot Him. Gov to Pay $3.5M/No Charges

ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY:

CORPORATE POLICE STATE - THE ENFORCER OF THE COMMODIFICATION OF LIFE WITHIN THE SPECTACLE SURVEILLANCE SOCIETY. ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT HE OR SHE IS IMMUNE TO THE BASELESS DESTRUCTION OF HIS OR HER LIFE (INCLUDING IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS) BY A "GOVERNMENT" OR CORPORATION DOES LIVE IN A HAPPY MENAGERIE—ENJOY YOUR ILLUSIONS. (SEE: GUPI & JUDICIAL VICTIMIZATION)

From [HERE] The Clark County Council agreed Wednesday to pay $3.5 million to settle the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of Jenoah Donald, a Black motorist killed by a Clark County sheriff’s deputy in February 2021.

The family filed the $17 million wrongful death lawsuit in February 2022 in U.S. District Court in Tacoma alleging wrongful death, assault and battery, negligence, and deprivation of civil rights. It named as defendants Deputy Sean Boyle, who shot Donald; Deputy Holly Troupe, who struggled with Donald in his car; then-Sheriff Chuck Atkins; and multiple unknown sheriff’s office employees.

The parties agreed last month to dismiss the claims against Boyle and Troupe, leaving Clark County as the sole remaining defendant. Trial was set to begin June 9.

A statement from county spokeswoman Joni McAnally said despite the settlement, the county “continues to deny liability for this unfortunate incident.”

Tacoma-based Herrmann Law Group said Donald “was the target of an illegal ‘pretextual stop’ ”by Deputy Sean Boyle on Feb. 4 in Hazel Dell.

The law firm cited a 1999 Washington Supreme Court case that found it’s unconstitutional for police to use a traffic stop as an excuse to investigate suspected criminal activity.

“The deputies believed Jenoah was leaving a drug house, but they did not have probable cause to pull him over for a drug crime. So, instead, the deputy pulled him over using the excuse of a defective rear light,” Lindquist said.

Deputy Boyle said during an interview that Donald was initially cooperative before other deputies arrived on scene. When Boyle went back to his vehicle to run the ID, another white deputy, Holly Troupe, had arrived and saw what she described as a “ball-handled” sharp object — later determined to be a screwdriver. [“a ball-handled” sharp objected?? Only a liar cop would describe a screw driver in such a novel way. And if she lied she could also ]. A third deputy, Greg Agar, also arrived for the broken headlight stop.

During the unlawful stop deputy Troupe claimed she saw a weapon in Donald's car, when there wasn't one. She saw a screwdriver. While in his patrol car, Deputy Boyle heard another deputy tell Donald, "show me your hands."

When Boyle returned, he ran up Donald's car, opened the door and told him he needed to get out and he threatened to use a police dog on him. He eventually punched Donald in the nose, investigators said, and Troupe attempted “pain compliance” techniques with her hands under Donald’s jaw.

That lead another officer to attempt to forcefully remove the 30-year-old from the vehicle.

According to prosecutors, Donald grabbed Deputy Boyle's outer vest, making his taser inaccessible. Meanwhile, the engine of the sedan Donald drove remained on. During the assault on Donald, deputies said they heard the engine revving. Boyle told investigators Donald grabbed him by the ballistics vest and pulled him toward the car.

No body camera footage exists from the encounter, so investigators relied heavily on the accounts of the officers involved.

Prosecutors claim the car started to move forward while Donald reportedly still had a grip on Deputy Boyle. Prosecutors claim unable to grab his taser, Deputy Boyle fired two shots, hitting Donald. Another deputy was in the process of drawing her weapon when the shooting happened.

After the shooting the police told Donald’s family he was dead but he had actually survived. He died a week after the shooting, after he was taken off life support. [MORE]

Portland Approves $3.75M for Police Murder of Immanueal Clark: White Cop Shot Black Man in the Back w/AR-15 and Then Denied Medical Help. Cops Were Looking for a White Suspect, No Charges by White DA

The City of Portland will settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought against the Portland Police Bureau from a November 2022 fatal shooting.

The estate of Immanueal Jaquez Clark will receive the $3,750,000 settlement.

Clark was 30 years old when he was shot and killed by white Portland officer Christopher Sathoff.

The suit alleges police had no probable cause or reasonable suspicion to stop the car that Clark-Johnson was driving on Nov. 19, 2022, as part of an armed robbery call.

Grand jury transcripts revealed in September that police surrounded and approached Clark-Johnson’s car based on a very general description of the suspected getaway car in the robbery and before officers at the robbery scene had obtained surveillance footage of the car.

Clark-Johnson and others in the car also didn’t match the description provided by the robbery victim, according to attorney Juan Chavez and audio of the 911 call.

On his initial 911 call, the victim said the three to four suspects who took off in a car were “white, definitely white” men, according to the audio. The dispatch report that appears on police mobile computer screens also described the suspects as white men, dispatch records indicate.

“It’s clear as day from the first 911 call from the robbery victim that he described he was robbed by three to four white guys in a car,” Chavez said in an interview. “The fact that they staged this high-risk felony stop for a car that at best they had reasonable suspicion to pull over for a traffic violation, then of course, you’re going to have a terrible result like this. It was just unreasonable for officers to have approached this car in this way.”

Police had been alerted to an armed robbery in the parking lot of the Super Deluxe fast-food restaurant on Southeast Powell Boulevard and 50th Avenue at 12:27 a.m. shortly before the shooting. The caller reported that a person wearing a ski mask and hooded jacket had pounded on his car window with a handgun.

The lawsuit details a different set of events from what Portland Police Bureau (PPB) described at the time: Clark-Johnson was simply "standing near" the parked and non-running car. When officers attempted the "stop," the lawsuit continued, Clark-Johnson ran away. Clark-Johnson was unarmed and not threatening the officers, the suit said. 

Officer Christopher Sathoff then shot Clark-Johnson in the back with an AR-15 rifle, the suit said.  

"The police then left him to lay on the concrete parking lot, writhing in pain and bleeding out, for 26 minutes before providing any medical attention," the lawsuit said. 

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Portland, alleges that not only did police have little reason to stop the sedan but they failed to come up with a plan on how to approach the car once they did.

“For almost half an hour, while Mr. Clark-Johnson lay severely wounded and begging for help, officers tried to get him to crawl toward him. Neighbors heard his cries and would have gotten him medical aid but were prevented by police,” the suit says.

The suit sought unspecified damages for the alleged violation of Clark-Johnson’s civil rights, his death and the cost of his medical care, burial services and memorial service.

Another Unarmed Black Person Posing No Threat Murdered by Cops in Aurora, a City Run by White Liberals: Lawsuit Claims Police Shot Rashaud Terrelle Johnson During "low priority" Trespass Investigation

From [HERE] Attorneys representing the family of an unarmed man shot and killed by an Aurora police officer called that shooting "the worst Aurora police killing since Elijah McClain" and have filed a wrongful death lawsuit, they announced on Tuesday. Lawyers for the man's family say he was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time the officer shot him.

Rashaud Terrelle Johnson was shot and killed by Aurora Police Officer Brandon Mills in a field next to The Parking Spot, a parking lot at East 56th Avenue and Himalaya Street near Denver International Airport, on May 12. Johnson, 32, was identified by the Adams County Coroner's Office later that month.

Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain said at the time that Johnson attacked Mills after police were called to the parking lot for reports of a suspicious person who parking lot employees thought was trying to break into cars.

Edited body-worn camera footage from the officer, which the department released a few days later, showed Mills in a physical struggle with Johnson. The video showed that Johnson charged at Mills. Chamberlain said that during that struggle, Johnson had pulled a magazine containing extra ammunition for the officer's firearm out of his belt pouch.

Video shows Mills getting off the ground and taking several steps away from Johnson. Mills draws his gun, pointing it at Johnson while giving him commands to get on the ground.

"Get on the ground. Get on the ground now! Get on the ground. I'm gonna shoot you if you do not get on the ground," Mills can be heard saying in the video. Johnson starts walking toward Mills, who then shouts, "stop! Get back!"

Mills then fires two shots, striking Johnson. Denver police officers arrive a few minutes later.

Rashaud’s parentS, Taushica Carter and Christopher Johnson

Neil Sandhu, an attorney with Rathod Mohamedbhai LLC, the law firm representing Johnson's family, says that the public will never know why Johnson was behaving the way he did that day he was killed.

"Rashaud's effervescent life was cut short when he was shot and killed by Officer Mills of the Aurora Police Department, despite the fact that Rashaud posed no imminent threat of serious bodily harm," he said. "For the next few hours, people who worked at The Parking Spot made about four 911 calls. In each of those calls, they made a few things apparent: Rashaud posed no threat. They told 911 over and over again (that) the man they were calling about did not have a weapon. The only thing they wanted was for Aurora to dispatch somebody to get Rashaud some help."

Sandhu said the employees were "rebuffed" by the 911 operator each time, until Mills was dispatched.

"Instead of showing him a way out, Officer Mills decided to corral Rashaud against that fence, barking commands at him and demanding answers, even though Rashaud didn't appear to register any of the questions," he said.

Sandhu questioned why Mills didn't try to create space or put something between Johnson and himself after Johnson had run toward the officer.

"He created a few feet of separation between him and Rashaud, pulled out his gun, and paused for a few minutes while Rashaud looked at the ground. But inexplicably, Officer Mills decided to reengage. He raised his weapon again (...) and he again started barking commands at Rashaud. And it was only in that moment that Rashaud decided to look up and start slowly pacing again towards Officer Mills," he said. [MORE]

Four Cops in [liberal] Minnesota who were accused of excessive force Now train other police officers, according to court documents

Four Minneapolis police trainers were accused of using excessive force in civil lawsuits the city settled before they received their current assignments, according to a review of federal court documents. 

One police trainer allegedly struck a disabled man in the head. Another allegedly beat and falsely arrested a Black man who repeated a question. A fifth officer, who now reviews use-of-force incidents, allegedly took part in the assault of a man who claimed he nearly died. That lawsuit was settled for nearly $1 million.

The lawsuits were settled without a finding of fault. And many of the allegations date back a decade or more. But as the Minnesota Department of Human Rights tasks the Minneapolis Police Department with overhauling its culture and accountability processes — including uses of excessive force that disproportionately impacted people of color — advocates for police reform say these officers’ leadership positions raise concerns over the department’s commitment to change.

Never Touch Cops, Talk to Them as Your Equal or Blow Your Horn at Them b/c They May Destroy Your “Freedom:” NY Cop Violently Arrests Black Man for Tapping His Horn at Cop on Green Light

A white upstate New York cop violently arrested a Black man last year for tapping his horn at him after the cop failed to proceed when the traffic light turned green.

Troy police officer Taylor Gamache charged the man with unlawful use of a horn, obstruction of governmental administration, and resisting arrest – retaliatory charges that were all dismissed.

Earlier this month, Matthew N. Edwards filed a lawsuit against the condescending cop, accusing him of assault, battery, false arrest, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and violating several of his constitutional rights.

Body camera video of the arrest, posted below, shows Gamache also towed Edwards’ car for parking more than 12 inches from the curb in front of his home.

But Edwards had parked that way because a pair of garbage cans were blocking his parking space when he pulled up, so he stepped out of the car to move the garbage cans to the side of his house in order to park properly.

But Gamache never gave him a chance, insisting on arresting him for daring to toot the horn at him as he sat at the light distracted, perhaps texting, which is against the law in New York. [MORE]

Investigation Reveals Widespread Medical Neglect in Mississippi Prisons

In its ongoing investigation, “Behind Bars, Beyond Care,” nonprofit newspaper Mississippi Today reports that sick people in the state’s prisons are suffering from medical neglect and mismanagement even as taxpayers pay more than $100 million to VitalCore Health Strategies, a private health care corporation.

The latest article in the series profiles Stephanie Nowlin, who spent two and a half years in prison for aggravated DUI before becoming Mississippi Department of Corrections Commissioner Burl Cain’s government affairs coordinator.

In that role, she focused on reducing a lengthy backlog in reclassification that too often means that people get left in restrictive housing who don’t need to be there and individuals who need medical care are stuck in facilities that don’t provide it.

In interviews with Mississippi Today, Ms. Nowlin said she was working with case managers at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Rankin County to tackle that backlog in August 2023 when she was called over by three incarcerated men who were carrying a man whose legs appeared to be rotting, his flesh blackened and cracking.

After seeing the sick man suffering in “quickbed,” a unit where newly arrived people sleep on bunk beds in a dorm while waiting to be classified, the three men had decided to find help.

Ms. Nowlin took photos of the man’s legs and called the prison superintendent, John Hunt, who came in a golf cart to take the man to the prison infirmary. There, Ms. Nowlin said, nurses labeled the man “noncompliant” for allegedly not taking diabetes medication, put some ointment on his leg, and sent him back to the dorm.[MORE]

5th Circuit Court says Texas Prison Staff May Be Liable for Inmate Extreme Heat Death after Multiple Days of 100 Degree Temperatures

Following multiple days of 100-plus degree heat inside Colorado City, Tex. prison, nurse sees inmate naked and nonverbal on the floor of his cell with four trays of untouched food beside him. She encourages him "to get up and get on with his day." He dies. Fifth Circuit (unpublished): It is clearly established that baking inmates to death violates the Constitution. And given that hundreds of such deaths have occurred in Texas in recent years, claims against some supervisors, in addition to the nurse, might have been dismissed too hastily. [MORE]

After Filling the Jails with Black People who Merely Possess Guns to Protect Themselves from Crime, NJ Puppeticians Move to Exempt Themselves from Gun Control Laws

From [HERE] In a jaw-dropping display of hypocrisy, New Jersey lawmakers have introduced a bill that would give themselves and their top staffers sweeping firearm privileges—privileges they continue to deny the average law-abiding citizen.

Assembly Bill A5958, introduced on July 24, 2025, by Assemblymen Robert Auth (R-39) and Gregory Myhre (R-9), with co-sponsorship from Assemblyman Sean Kean, seeks to exempt elected officials and their chiefs of staff from nearly all of the state’s draconian gun laws. Under the proposal, they would be allowed to carry handguns without a permit, possess rifles and shotguns without a Firearms Purchaser ID, and transport firearms throughout the state—all as long as they complete a state-approved training course.

This comes even as the rest of New Jersey residents continue to be bound by some of the most burdensome gun laws in the nation.

As it stands, ordinary New Jerseyans must navigate a bureaucratic maze just to exercise basic Second Amendment rights—enduring long waits, multiple and endless background checks, permitting processes, and potential criminal penalties for violations.

Yet A5958 creates a privileged class of gun carriers: politicians and their chosen aides.

The bill plainly states that “a person who is an elected official… shall be exempt from the provisions of N.J.S.2C:39-5,” which currently criminalizes most forms of firearm possession without government-issued credentials or carved out exceptions. This immunity would last the full duration of the politician’s term. Their appointed chief of staff would also gain the same immunity, but only while “in the actual performance of [their] official duties.”

California Hospital Concealed Evidence Linking ‘Catastrophic Surge’ in Stillbirths to COVID Injections, Lawsuit Alleges

A California hospital concealed data linking a “catastrophic surge” in stillbirths among women who received COVID-19 vaccines, according to a lawsuit filed last week in the Superior Court of California, Fresno County.

Michelle Spencer, a nurse at Community Medical Centers’ (CMC) Community Regional Medical Center, said the hospital “deliberately and selectively” concealed from staff, patients and regulators a spike in unborn baby deaths that began in spring 2021, and retaliated against her when she publicized the information.

The lawsuit also says the hospital concealed medical data related to the fetal deaths that showed a link to COVID-19 vaccination of pregnant mothers.

The data include hospital-wide medical records documenting the number of stillbirths and the vaccination histories of those babies’ mothers. One managing nurse at the hospital told a staff member that nearly all of the stillbirths occurred among vaccinated mothers.

According to the complaint, Spencer “witnessed firsthand the exponential increase in unborn baby deaths directly correlating with pregnant women who received a Covid vaccine and then would deliver a dead baby a close number of days or weeks following their injection.” [MORE]
