Mississippi police await autopsy results for Black student found hanged at Delta State University
/Mississippi police on Wednesday awaited autopsy results for a Black student found hanging from a tree at Delta State University, in a case that has ignited strong emotions in a state with a history of racist violence.
The 21-year-old student was found near the campus pickleball courts early Monday. While police have said they saw no evidence of foul play, his family is demanding answers and has hired prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump.
Campus police Chief Michael Peeler released little new information about the investigation at a news conference, calling the death an "isolated incident" and insisting there were no active threats to students and faculty.
The chief state medical examiner was conducting an autopsy Wednesday, and Peeler said preliminary findings should be released in a day or two.
Peeler said the evidence includes video footage, but he would not say what it shows and where it came from, citing the ongoing investigation. [MORE]
Attorney Aaron Siri Told Senate Puppeticians that a Large Study Found Vaccinated Kids were Far More Likely to Develop Chronic Disease than Unvaccinated Kids, But Researchers Fear Releasing It
/In a U.S. Senate hearing today, attorney Aaron Siri revealed the results of a large study that found vaccinated children were far more likely to develop chronic disease than unvaccinated kids.
The study never underwent peer review and was never published, because the authors — staunch vaccine supporters — told Siri they were concerned about losing their jobs or reputations because their findings contradicted the official public health narrative and vaccine policy.
Siri’s testimony, delivered during Tuesday’s Senate hearing, “How the Corruption of Science has Impacted Public Perception and Policies Regarding Vaccines,” addressed the study’s origins, findings and suppression.
The study involved over 18,000 children enrolled in Henry Ford Health system’s insurance plan in Michigan.
“The results are astonishing,” Siri told The Defender. “For example, vaccinated children had 4.29 times the rate of asthma, 3.03 times the rate of atopic disease (a group of allergic conditions), 5.96 times the rate of autoimmune disease, and 5.53 times the rate of neurodevelopmental disorder.”
These findings were statistically significant — even when accounting for gender, race, birthweight, premature birth, and respiratory distress or trauma at birth.
But rather than publishing the results, the study authors and their bosses at Henry Ford Health refused to make them public — even though the lead author previously assured Siri and Del Bigtree he would publish the results, whatever the findings. [MORE]
Trump-Bush Stopped Celebrating the Life of Charlie Kirk Long Enough to Murder 3 More People in Venezuela; Claimed w/o Proof They Were Running Drugs Out of Boat Drifting at Sea, Posed No Threat to US
/
From [HERE] The US military on Monday bombed a boat near Venezuela and killed three people, according to a statement released by President Trump on Truth Social.
President Trump claimed without providing evidence that the boat was carrying drugs and that the three people who were killed were “narcoterrorists.” He made similar claims about the first US military strike on a boat near Venezuela that occurred on September 2, which he said killed 11 “narcoterrorists.”
The president also posted a video that purported to show the Monday strike. It showed what appeared to be a boat that was drifting at sea, followed by an explosion.
“This morning, on my Orders, US Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” Trump said. “The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the US.”
The president also signaled that more US strikes on boats in the region were coming. “BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!” he wrote.
The second US bombing in the region came after the Venezuelan government said that personnel from a US warship boarded a Venezuelan tuna boat that was in Venezuelan waters. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil said 18 armed US troops were on the vessel for 18 hours, a claim that hasn’t been confirmed by the US military.
“Those who give the order to carry out such provocations are seeking an incident that would justify a military escalation in the Caribbean,” Gil said.
While Trump and other US officials claim the military action and pressure on Venezuela’s government is about drug trafficking and a response to overdose deaths in the US, fentanyl doesn’t come from or through Venezuela, and the majority of the cocaine that is transported to the US comes through the Pacific, not the Caribbean. Gil said that the real purpose of the US operations was for the US to “persist in their failed policy” of regime change in Venezuela.
The Venezuela policy is being largely driven by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has long pushed for regime change in Venezuela. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Monday called out Rubio in response to the US boarding the tuna boat, calling him a “lord of death and war.”
Florida Court Strikes Down Law that Prohibited Law Abiding People from Carrying Guns in Public for Self-Defense, "the right to bear arms in public necessarily includes the right to do so openly"
/Florida is one of just four states that generally prohibit people from openly carrying firearms in public. That law, a Florida appeals court ruled on Wednesday, is inconsistent with the Second Amendment.
"The Constitution protects the right to carry arms openly for self-defense," Judge Stephanie Ray writes in a unanimous opinion from the First District Court of Appeal. "Florida's Open Carry Ban cannot be reconciled with that guarantee."
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier welcomed the decision. "Florida's 1st District Court of Appeals just ruled that Florida's open carry ban is no longer constitutionally enforceable statewide," he wrote on X. "Our office fully supports the Court's decision. This is a big win for the Second Amendment rights of Floridians."
The case, McDaniels v. Florida, involves an activist who sought to test Florida's ban by inviting his own arrest. In July 2022, Ray notes, Stanley Victor McDaniels "stood at a major intersection in downtown Pensacola," holding a copy of the U.S. Constitution and waving at passing cars. He "had a loaded handgun tucked inside his pants using an inside-the-waistband holster. The holstered firearm was visible to anyone who passed by, but McDaniels was not threatening anyone. He had also set up a camera on a tripod to record his activity."
When police questioned him, McDaniels explained that he planned a constitutional challenge to Section 790.053 of the Florida Statutes. That provision, enacted in 1987, says "it is unlawful for any person to openly carry on or about his or her person any firearm." Violating the prohibition is a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
Trump Claims to Support Gun Rights but Most of the Arrests in DC by His Fed Cops Were of Black Men for Mere Gun Possession [not gun violence]; No Different than the White Liberals He Whines About
/
On President Donald Trump’s orders, thousands of local police, federal agents and camouflage-clad troops have fanned out across the nation’s capital every night for the past month. The surge sprawled across D.C., from its poorest pockets to its busiest commercial corridors and marbled monuments.
The White House has touted the success of the operation, saying it drove down crime and took illegal guns off the streets. But they’ve offered little insight into who was being arrested, how, where and for what.
To answer those questions, The Washington Post gathered more than a thousand charging documents from local and federal courts, mapped the incidents and examined how they played out. The documents portray an expanded law enforcement presence that considered no crime too small while hunting for guns and employing tactics that have sparked community opposition in the past.
More than a third of the 1,273 arrests examined by The Post from the first four weeks of Trump’s crackdown in D.C. involved federal law enforcement, a figure that doesn’t include arrests made by immigration officers.
Those arrests occurred in all eight city wards, but were concentrated in the city’s poorest, least White and most crime-ridden neighborhoods.
Additionally, many occurred in low-crime areas highly visible to the president and tourists: the National Mall, outside the White House and around Union Station.
Of the 470 arrests where federal officers were present:
Weapons charges were the most common, primarily illegal gun possession. One in 4 cases involved gun charges. Officers found firearms in cars, waistbands and a child’s backpack.
About 1 in 7 cases involved people accused of having open containers of alcohol, in cars or parks or curbside. Almost two dozen cases involved public consumption of marijuana — possession of which, in small quantities, is legal in D.C.
One in 8 cases involved people accused of assaulting a police officer or resisting arrest. Most of those also involved other charges, but on 20 occasions, assaulting or resisting was the sole charge — including people who have screamed at, spat on and, in one viral case, hurled a sandwich at a federal officer.
One in 12 arrests included solely minor charges, such as using marijuana in public, fare evasion and traffic offenses like driving without a valid license.
Those arrested were overwhelmingly young, Black men. Black men have made up the majority of D.C. police arrests for years.
The quarter of the D.C. census tracts with the highest violent crime rates were the site of nearly half of arrests, while the quarter with the lowest rates had 11 percent. [MORE]
Analysis Shows the False Flag involving the “Ukrainian Refugee” and the "Black Career Criminal" on the Train in NC was Created by Gov/Media Using AI, Bad Special Effects and False Flaggots (Actors)
/This false flag draws some similarities to the “Brooklyn Subway Terror Attack,” in which blood packets appeared to be set down in places by actors on the subway platform and also all the passengers appeared to respond to directions given to them on their cell phones (See videos below).
As stated previously, this false flag is also similar to other racial false flags such as the ‘White Marine (Daniel Penny) vs. ‘Homeless Black Man’ (Jordan Neely) on the NYC subway and the ‘Waukesha Christmas Parade Attack.’ Said episodes were told in accord with the appetite of the racist believer, not the realities of life. No details or critical analysis is possible with a combined jesusized belief, clogic and emotion in the mind given to racists (check out this supreme neuropeon idiocy for example). Conversely, it is also similar to ‘the Buffalo Supermarket Massacre,’ and the “Dylann Roof” Charleston Shooting hoax at a Black Church. Said racial episodes were told in accord with the beliefs of the woke listener. [MORE]
Besides government authority and massa media, the problem here is “belief” itself. Belief is like sauce, it can make any rotten meat palatable and enable it to slide down your throat with its true nature concealed. Osho explains that, “A mind that is filled with belief is a mind which can project anything according to the belief.” He states,
“Whatsoever you believe, you project. Belief is a projection. It is just like a projector in a movie film-house: you see something on the screen which is not there. The projector is hidden behind, but you never look at the projector, you look at the screen. The projector is at the back, and the whole game is going on there, but you look at the screen. The whole game is going on in your mind, and a mind filled with belief always goes on projecting things in the world, it sees things which are not there. This is the problem. The mind which believes is always vulnerable and always provides an opportunity to be exploited by the cheaters - and the cheaters are all around.”
FUNKTIONARY sets forth the following:
Belief – the psychological calm of imagined certitude safely beyond de-stabilizing doubt and troublesome realityentanglement. 2) a construction of approximate truths, absolute truths, mass truths and primary myths, based on genetic predisposition, and environmental and socio-psychological conditioning. 3) the institutionalization of the unknowable, i.e., a conviction that is not necessarily based upon any empirical, direct-mind or experiential knowledge. 4) a non-physical surviving thought-form. 5) any conclusion based on a fundamental assumption; the evidence of things not seen, no longer actively sought. 6) an intellectual rationalization surrounded by (based on) “proofs,” reasons and arguments. 7) that which springs out of cultural ideology. 8) the greatest fiction. 9) a trick of the mind to repress doubt. 10) a mental doubtsuppression tactic. A suppressed doubt is neither faith nor even trust. 11) repressed doubt. 12) an explicit or implicit assent to dogmatic propositions (with or without overgrown religious foliage) on someone else’s authority. 13) reverential blindness that thwarts fresh perception and intuitive apperception. 14) a prejudice without any experience to support it. 15) a peculiar blend of fatiloquent assertion on one hand and adamant denial on the other. 16) a manic flirtation with the terminally unprovable. 17) certainty based in the unknown. 18) having another “see” it for you while seeing him see it (for you)—in effect being for another. 19) a conclusion without the verification of direct experience—make-believe made real. 20) the inability or unwillingness to master the requisite logic or reason to counterbalance (or overcome) the willingness to be misled. 21) the abnegation of internal authenticity for outside authority. 22) ego-consoling faith. 23) acceptance of a statement, tenet or creed with available verification and substantive evidence to its contrary. The word belief in English comes from the Anglo-Saxon root ‘leif’, which means, “to wish.” Belief is a conviction that can only be held or maintained in absence of empirical or experiential evidence—that is, it cannot be proved or disproved. Once anything can be proven as factual, it no longer occupies the space of belief. Belief is mental belly-fat. It is the inability to formulate the necessary suspicion that there is something seriously missing, inaccurate or incomplete. Sin means missing the mark—and belief is the mark that’s missed in the very act of merely believing. [MORE]
cover-stories – headlines that provide cover (hiding and distraction) for the real untold and undiscussed stories behind the one’s they are really (deliberately) not covering, undressing or addressing at all. 2) planted actors and/or provocateurs providing misinformation immediately after a false flag operation—like 9-11, Sandy Hook and the Boston Marathon bombing. The methodology: Sell the lie with authority, then change the subject to something emotional. For example, the cover stories about whether or not “well-intentioned” public officials (on oxymoronic characterization itself) made “mistakes” in not paying attention to obvious warnings of so-called Al-Qaida operations inside the territorial United States posed by the mock 9-11 Commission mockery. The whole thrust behind the cover-story was to specifically avoid treating the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and the fields in Pennsylvania as actual crime scenes—to avoid the contradictions in the official stories with physical evidence to the contrary, to totally ignore the blatant anomalies regarding the well-planned, orchestrated, and executed sophisticated operations (hoax) that happened and didn’t happen on that fateful day.

Judge Pauses Civil Suit against MI Trooper who Murdered Samuel Sterling Until Criminal Appeal is Resolved. White Cop Intentionally Struck and Crushed Fleeing Black Man w/Unmarked Mini-Van, Denied Help
/
From [HERE] A civil lawsuit filed by the family of a man who died after being hit by a Michigan State Police (MSP) cruiser was paused by a federal judge Tuesday, according to court documents.
A civil trial tied to an excessive force lawsuit against former MSP Detective Sergeant Brian Keely was originally set to take place in November, however, Judge Hala Jarbou granted his attorneys a motion to stay.
In the civil lawsuit filed in January, Samuel Sterling’s family alleged Keely violated his Fourth and 14th Amendment protections against excessive force and argued gross negligence and willful and wanton misconduct.
In Kentwood in April 2024, Sterling ran away from a task force seeking to arrest him. Officers chased him to a Burger King while Keely pursued in an unmarked cruiser. Video released by MSP shows the white police officer deliberately drive over a curb - onto a sidewalk - and then violently strike him with a mini-van. The mini-van then pushes Sterling into the side of the building, crushing and pinning him against it. After he was struck, the officer backed up off the curb.
Officers are seen putting handcuffs on Sterling and telling firefighters who responded to the scene to keep the cuffs on, while he was dying. Sterling, 25, was hospitalized and died hours later.
Authorities claim that Keely was not wearing a body camera and his vehicle did not have a dash camera "due to his assignment on a federal task force." The Michigan Attorney General’s Office charged Keely with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. The case was later moved into federal court after a motion by the defense, which said it belonged there because Keely was acting as part of a U.S. Marshals task force when the death happened.
In May of this year, U.S. District Court Judge Hala Jarbou dismissed the criminal case. The AG’s Office has filed a notice to appeal that ruling. The case never went to trial because judge Jarbou ruled that the state does not have enough evidence to establish murder (LOL. never happens). While the state still argued he could be found guilty of second-degree murder or involuntary manslaughter if he acted “in disregard of life-endangering consequences.” “The Court is not persuaded by the State’s argument,” the court documents say. (LOL! it was all just an accident, jury doesn’t need to decide). [MORE]
However, per court documents, the state appealed that decision.
Keely's attorneys filed the motion for stay in August, asking the federal court to pause the civil case against him before the criminal case is complete.
In a written ruling, Jarbou agreed and is "in favor of stay because there is a substantial overlap in issues" and that "his actions were appropriate under the Fourth Amendment. Both those issues are key to the outcome of the civil case."
All White Jury Believes Black WI Cop Who Said He Couldn't Remember Killing Alvin Cole: Shot Black Teen 2X when He was on Hands and Knees and 3X While He was Face Down on Ground. 2nd Civil Mistrial
/
From [HERE] and [HERE] After 10 hours of deliberation, a Milwaukee jury could not reach a unanimous verdict in the civil lawsuit against a former Wisconsin police officer who fatally shot a 17-year-old in a mall parking lot, resulting in a second mistrial.
Wauwatosa officer Joseph Mensah shot 17-year-old Alvin Cole outside Mayfair Mall on February 2 after police responded to a call of a reported disturbance at the shopping center.
An all-white, eight-member jury was selected out of a pool of 36 potential jurors, with an even split of men and women. None of the jurors are from Milwaukee. Two indicated that they have close relatives who served in law enforcement.
Mensah is a Black police officer in Wauwatosa, a suburb of Milwaukee. Cole was Mensah’s third shooting over a five-year period at Wauwatosa PD, a fact not allowed to be shared with the white jurors. That is, he fatally shot three non-white men: Antonio Gonzales, who had mental health issues and refused to drop a sword; Jay Anderson Jr., a Black man who was shot in the head while asleep in his car in a public park; and Cole.
At trial he claimed he couldn’t remember what happened but that he didn’t shoot for no reason.
In February 2020, around 6 p.m., Wauwatosa police officers were dispatched to Mayfair Mall for a dispute involving a group of teenagers, one of whom was 17-year-old Alvin Cole. He was described by mall security as a Black teenage male wearing a gray hoodie and a fanny pack containing a handgun.
When officers arrived on the scene, Cole and his friends ran away. The shooting occurred after Cole refused a command from the police to drop the stolen gun he was holding and Cole fired a bullet as he tried to flee.
It was determined that Mensah fired his weapon five times. Two shots were fired when Cole was on his hands and knees, and the remaining three shots were fired by Mensah while Cole was face down on the ground. Mensah was the only officer among the five other officers at the scene who fired his weapon.
On October 7, 2020 Milwaukee County District Attorney John T. Chisholm announced that Officer Mensah would not be charged because he had reasonable belief that deadly force was necessary. Chisholm is a white liberal.
Cole’s parents sued Mensah for excessive force in 2022. The first trial in March ended with a hung jury.
The civil retrial began last Monday in the Eastern District of Wisconsin before federal Judge Lynn Adelman.
Over three days of testimony, the plaintiffs attempted to show that Mensah did not have the legal right to use deadly force on Cole because he did not point his weapon at any officer. They used the medical examiner’s report to show that Cole was likely on his hands and knees when Mensah fired, and the testimony of other officers to disprove Mensah’s version of events.
Mensah is the only officer to testify that he saw the gun pointed at him. Officer Evan Olson also claimed to have seen the gun pointed, though he testified that he believed it was pointed at himself. The mall security guard, who was gaining on Cole when the first shot went off, said Cole turned and looked him in the eyes before Mensah got there.
Olson drove Mensah back to the station against protocol, which requires involved officers to isolate from each other until they can give statements to internal investigators. Neither could remember what they talked about, and the audio and video turn off when they get into Mensah’s unmarked squad car, according to court records.
Attorney Nate Cade, representing Cole’s estate, suggested several times that the two are close friends and synced up their stories after the shooting and before they gave statements to internal investigating officers from the Milwaukee Police Department.
“If they synced up their stories, they didn’t do a good job,” defense attorney Jasmine Baynard said during her closing argument on Wednesday.
Baynard made a convincing argument in closings, telling the jury that the law doesn’t require Mensah to actually be in danger to use deadly force — he only needs to be able to articulate the danger he perceived himself to be in at the time.
When asked why he shot and killed Cole by his own attorneys, he said simply that he didn’t want to die. He also said that when he responded to the call, which was not yet a particularly serious event, he never imagined that Cole would try to shoot his way out.
The trial was marred by frequent and tense objections, sidebars and impeachment from both sides of the case. With each witness testifying to a slightly different version of events, some seeming logistically improbable and others changing over time, the jury had the difficult task of discerning the evidence in the case from the parties’ arguments and theories.
Idaho AG Fails to Charge 4 White Cops who Fatally Shot an Autistic, Nonverbal Latino Teen who was holding a Knife On the Other Side of a Chain-Link Fence. Shot 9 Times, Obviously Posed No Real Threat
/
From [HERE] Four Idaho police officers who fatally shot an autistic, nonverbal teenage boy who was holding a knife on the other side of a chain-link fence in April were justified in their actions and will not face criminal charges, the state attorney general said Wednesday.
Victor Perez, 17, was in a coma for a week before dying April 12 after doctors removed nine bullets during several surgeries and amputated his leg. The shooting in southeast Idaho city of Pocatello, which was captured on video, drew outrage from members of the community who questioned why the officers opened fire within 12 seconds of exiting their vehicles.
The Bannock County Prosecutor’s Office asked Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador to review the case to determine whether the officers committed a crime and if their use of force was justified. Labrador said the investigation showed that the officers did not know Perez’s age or disabilities, and they were only told an intoxicated man was threatening people with a knife.
“Believing that individuals were in danger of being stabbed, the officers chose to run toward the fence in case the officers needed to take immediate action to protect others from harm,” he said in a letter to the prosecutor. “The officers’ decision to place themselves at the fence to protect others made the officers vulnerable to a knife attack from someone standing immediately on the other side of the fence.
“Under Idaho law, the officers did not have a duty to retreat from the fence before using deadly force,” Labrador said. These factors would make a criminal prosecution untenable, so they will not file charges against the officers, he said.
Ben Nisenbaum, an Oakland, California, lawyer representing the family in a wrongful death claim against the city of Pocatello, said the family was deeply disappointed by the attorney general’s decision, arguing that the officers had a duty to retreat.
“At the end of the day, anyone responding to that situation would know he was developmentally disabled by the way he was acting. It was obvious,” Nisenbaum told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “Stepping away was what a reasonable person would do.”
Email and phone messages seeking comment from Pocatello Police Chief Roger Schei about the attorney general’s decision and whether the officers faced discipline were not immediately returned.
Perez, who is autistic, has an abnormal gait and other medical conditions had managed to get ahold of a kitchen knife on April 5 and was walking around the yard swinging it. Video shows his grandfather, mother and 16-year-old sister trying to take it from him.
A person who saw the struggle called 911, saying it appeared the person was intoxicated and was trying to stab people. Three officers arrived and approached the backyard carrying Glock handguns, and a fourth officer had a beanbag shotgun. The sister waved her arms at the officers and shouted, but they focused their attention on Perez, who was lying on the ground, the attorney general’s letter said.
The Eastern Idaho Critical Incident Task Force investigated the shooting. The autopsy said the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds. The officers gave interviews to the task force, but they declined to speak with the attorney general’s office, the letter said. Instead, they sent audio recordings and transcripts of interviews they gave to a third party, the letter said.
After reviewing the material collected, the attorney general said they won’t file criminal charges against the officers “because the state would be unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officers’ use of force was not justified.”
Nevada Reaches 'Largest Wrongful Death Settlement in State history' after Police Brutally Beat a White Man and Blocked Nurses from Providing Aid
/From [HERE] The state of Nevada has agreed to settle Walker v. State of Nevada. According to the family’s attorney, the settlement amount is $4.6 million, which he described as the largest wrongful death settlement in the state’s history.
The agreement resolves the state’s role in the case involving Christian Walker, who died at High Desert State Prison in 2023. The family’s lawsuit alleges correctional officers beat Walker and blocked nurses from providing emergency care. The Clark County coroner, however, ruled his death natural due to hypertensive cardiovascular disease, despite documented injuries.
Attorney James D. Urrutia of the LJU Law Firm, who represents Walker’s family, said the case has always been about more than financial compensation:
“All my client has sought is justice for her son. We are grateful that this part of the case is behind us and that we can now focus our efforts on Clark County. Our work in this case has already led to changes in the system, and we hope further change occurs through our continued pursuit of justice.”
The family has said it plans to continue advocating for reforms to improve protections for people in custody.
Walker’s case comes amid growing concerns about conditions within the Nevada Department of Corrections. Dozens of families we've heard from have raised concerns and called for accountability over conditions within the Nevada Department of Corrections, including a recent rise in inmate deaths.
At High Desert State Prison, 17 deaths have been reported so far in 2025, compared to nine in 2024. At Southern Desert Correctional Center, four deaths have been reported this year, compared to one last year. [MORE]
Malcolm James Died in a Wisconsin Jail b/c Police Bent Him Over While He Was Restrained to a Chair, He Told Cops He Couldn’t Breathe. A $20M Suit Demands Justice After White DA Failed to Charge Cops
/
From [HERE] “I can’t breathe.” Those were Malcolm James’s final words on June 1, 2021, as Racine County Jail officers pinned him into a restraint chair. Minutes later, the 27-year-old was dead.
Four years later, his case centers on a $20 million federal wrongful death lawsuit filed by his mother, Sherry James. The complaint accuses Racine County deputies, Sheriff Christopher Schmaling, and jail medical staff of using excessive force and ignoring urgent medical needs. At stake is whether a jail reliant on non-sworn officers and private medical contractors can keep people in psychiatric crisis safe — and how a homicide ruling produced no charges, no discipline, and no reforms.
“I lost my eldest son, and he was a good kid. Nobody deserves that,” James said.
Attorney Kevin O’Connor, representing the family, added: “No one was disciplined. No one was retrained. The question is: how does that happen?”
Malcolm James’ final minutes
On June 1, 2021, correction officers strapped James into a restraint chair. According to federal court exhibits, officers pepper-sprayed and tased him before restraining him.
As he cried out, “I can’t breathe” for just over three minutes, several members of the jail’s Correctional Emergency Response Team (CERT) in full gear pressed down on his back and shoulders, folding him forward in the chair and layering their weight on top of him while others struggled to remove the Taser probes.
Officers fumbled for several minutes before retrieving the proper removal tool. At least one officer suggested calling paramedics to handle the probes; a supervisor directed them to keep trying, according to the civil complaint. James remained bent forward under their weight until he went limp.
When Nurse Crystal Kristiansen arrived, she reached for smelling salts and a pulse oximeter. Still, she did not attempt CPR and admitted she didn’t know where the automated external defibrillator (AED) was stored. Paramedics were called, but James had no pulse when they arrived. He was pronounced dead soon after.
Four days earlier, James had called 911 in crisis, saying he was suicidal. Police discovered he had set fire to his clothes and apartment. He was first taken to Ascension Hospital–Racine for evaluation, but was released within hours and booked into jail on arson charges. Correction officers later returned him to Ascension two more times. Still, he was discharged each time with only instructions not to harm himself, according to Lt. Michael Luell’s deposition and court filings.
The lawsuit
In August 2021, Sherry James filed a claim against Racine County seeking $20 million in damages. That claim became the basis for the federal wrongful death lawsuit filed in March 2022.
The lawsuit alleges systemic failures, including:
Excessive force during restraint.
Failure to provide urgent medical care, despite signs of distress.
Inadequate training on positional asphyxia and crisis response.
Negligent medical care by MEnD Correctional Care, which at the time served as the jail’s for-profit provider.
“The problem isn’t just those final minutes,” O’Connor said. “It’s culture, training, outsourcing — all of it added up to Malcolm’s death.”
Official explanations
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner ruled James’s death a homicide by asphyxia, according to the autopsy.
Sheriff Christopher Schmaling [white person], in a June 2021 recorded statement, urged patience and released a video showing James striking his head against a wall. He said the video demonstrated James “intentionally harmed himself.” Lt. Michael Luell later clarified that Schmaling never said James “killed himself” and that the release was meant to counter misinformation. But to the family, the release shifted attention away from officers’ actions in the restraint chair — the focus of the lawsuit.
District Attorney Patricia Hanson [white person] declined charges after consulting outside experts. Dr. Tom S. Neuman concluded sudden cardiac death was likely, citing James’s enlarged heart and fibrosis in his expert report. Hanson wrote that the evidence and outside experts did not support charges. The lawsuit, however, argues that Hanson relied on hired experts to sidestep the medical examiner’s homicide ruling, leaving a death with no accountability. [MORE]

The settlement, which still requires approval from the City Council, would resolve 176 lawsuits involving nearly 200 people who collectively spent more than 200 years in prison.
Each case stems from false arrests, fabricated evidence and other misconduct by Watts and his unit, city lawyers said.
The lawsuits represent one of the largest police misconduct scandals in Chicago’s history.
Watts and Officer Kallatt Mohammed were indicted in 2012 and later served federal prison sentences. But the fallout has continued for more than a decade as convictions were overturned and many plaintiffs received certificates of innocence.
According to the city’s law department, the agreement would settle about 64% of Chicago’s active wrongful conviction lawsuits.
"The lowest payout is $150,000 and the highest, I believe, is $3.4 million, just over that figure. It might be $3.9… And that's for an individual who spent nearly 10 years in custody. So as I'm sure many of you who cover these types of cases understand, a lot of these settlements are driven by time and custody per year, recent incarceration, et cetera, and that's largely a formula. But a lot in terms of identifying which plaintiff is getting which amount of money is based heavily on discussions and information from the plaintiff's counsel," said Victoria Benson, part of the deputy corporation counsel.
Judge Ends Federal Oversight of the Seattle Police in Liberal City. Nothing Will Change So Long as Police have the Unjust and Evil Power to Use Force Offensively on People
/A federal judge ended oversight of the Seattle Police Department on Wednesday, more than a decade after the U.S. Department of Justice found that officers had a history of excessive force and practices that could have a disparate effect on minority communities.
In the 13 years since a federal consent decree was put into place, Seattle’s department has adopted new use-of-force policies, begun using body cameras, changed its protocols for holding officers accountable and reviewed its crowd management tactics. The city and the federal government had first moved to begin ending the federal oversight in 2023, under the Biden administration, but the process was delayed with some lingering issues left to resolve.
U.S. District Judge James Robart said on Wednesday the city complied with its obligations on Wednesday and lifted the consent decree, a court-approved agreement. [MORE]
Nothing can ever change with regard to “excessive force” or police brutality so long as police have the power to use force offensively on “citizens.” In fact, despite the falling violent crime rates since 1993, police killings have increased. According to Mapping Police Violence, “Police killed more people in 2023 than any year in more than a decade. Police have continued to kill at a similar rate in 2024.“ Police killed at least 1,247 people in 2023. Black people were 27% of those killed by police in 2023 despite being only 13% of the population. Thus far, there have been only 9 days in 2024 where police did not kill someone. Black people are most likely to be killed by police and are three times more likely than whites to be killed by police. 33% of Black people killed by police were running away, driving away or otherwise trying to flee. Regardless of race, there is no accountability: 98.1% of killings by police from 2013-2023 did not result with officers even being charged with a crime. [MORE]
Petitioning puppeticians for reforms, or begging them to enforce the status quo by punishing police for conduct that is already illegal or begging them to defund or lower police department budgets can have no effect on the extraordinary police power to use force offensively on citizens. Said non-reformable and uncontrollable power to initiate the use of unprovoked violence on people is called “authority.”
As you will see, if you indulge BW here, due to the fact that "authority" is immoral and unjust and there is no legitimate or rational way to account for belief in its existence, the legal system is entirely based on physical coercion or violence. In other words, we are not free.
Political “authority” can be summed up as the implied right to rule over people. It is the idea that some people have the moral right to forcibly control others, and that, consequently, those others have the moral and legal obligation to obey.’ [MORE] Authority is the basis and operating system for all governments throughout the world, regardless of type, function or characterization. As so-called representatives of authority, police officers (among other authorities) are empowered to use force offensively against citizens who are legally and morally obliged to obey authority.

mass media – “Massa’ Media. Massa’s media plus (+) Mass Hypnosis = Mindless Masses. 2) The “Mess” Media. 3) wholesale retale— retelling the whole tale (propaganda) exactly as you’re told, consistently and relentlessly. How can you possibly relate when you are framed by the very debate wherein you are an unwilling spectator? Let’s be perfectly clear on this. There’s no counteroption or outlet to vent when you’re under the controlled thoughtform of mass-think manufactured consent. “Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.” ~A.J. Liebling.

prodcasting – propaganda cast as a spell to prod mind-slaves into behavior, thoughts and actions that benefit the spell-caster ($pinfidel) and his master. Prodcasting targets the unthinking herd into conformity, apathy, complacency and uniformity to the dictates of the overtakers otherwise known as the Pathocracy—the intergenerational psychopathic overruling class and adept practitioners of Richcraft.

Propagenda – propaganda developed and directed to a particular audience as a means of predictive programming for accepting someone’s agenda as their very own. (See: $pinfidels, Predictive Programming & Coin-Operated)
psyopsy – performing an analysis of what caused one who is mentally dead and culturally comatose to reach such a state or fate. Psyopsies can be performed only on the living dead. Those who are living another’s script (“reality”) are candidates.
public opinion – a contrived notion ostensibly of what “people” think other “people” are thinking without really thinking. 2) manufactured consent by the agents and dupes of Corporate State media. Public opinion is manufactured in this society to defend the spin—i.e. the political position of those in power. Are you contemptuous of the contrived, hyped, manipulated, orchestrated and outright fallacious centralized media memetics as portrayed to the credulous consumer through façade, illusion and collusion?

misremembering – a by-product of the fallible wetware (biochemical, electrical and ephemeral) of the brain-mind complex. How did our culture end up forgetting how to remember?

Spacism + Racism = No Right to Be Left the Fuck Alone. NJ Cops Destroy the Play Freedoms of Black Men Standing in Front of Their Yard Bothering No One and Only Disturbing the Peace of Their Masters

From [HERE]
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. 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”
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.
