Judge refuses to dismiss charges against homeland security officer for Beating Down Chinese Woman

A federal magistrate judge declined to dismiss the case against a Department of Homeland Security officer charged with battering a Chinese tourist.  Officer Robert Rhodes asked the court for dismissal in October, claiming the government was selectively prosecuting him because he is gay and had filed a discrimination complaint.  In a ruling obtained Tuesday by The Buffalo News, Magistrate Judge Hugh Scott said Rhodes failed to show that prosecutors knew about his sexual orientation prior to his arrest.  Witnesses said Rhodes, 43, used pepper spray on 37-year-old Zhao Yan, threw her against a wall, kneed her in the head as she knelt on the ground and struck her head on the ground while holding her hair.  Attorney Steven Cohen said Rhodes was one of several Customs and Border Protection officers involved in subduing Zhao at the U.S.-Canadian border July 21 but that he alone was charged with violating her civil rights by causing bodily harm.  The confrontation happened at the Rainbow Bridge connecting Niagara Falls, N.Y., and Niagara Falls, Ontario.  Rhodes defended himself, saying Zhao and two other women ran when asked to come into the inspection station after officers confiscated marijuana from another pedestrian. He said he sprayed her with pepper spray as she swung her arms at him after he grabbed her and that he was scratched in the process.  Cohen said Rhodes is appealing Scott's ruling. No trial date has been set. Rhodes faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. [more] and [more]

Federal Agent shoots unarmed 19-year old Arab-American in head - Officer Not Charged

An off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer shot and killed a 19-year-old man Saturday during an altercation at a Mission Viejo apartment complex, the Orange County Sheriff's Department said.  The 1:30 a.m. shooting occurred during a fight between the officer, who was not identified, and four or six males, said sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.  The victim, identified by sheriff's officials as Brassim Chamit of Laguna Hills, was shot once in the head and died at Mission Viejo Medical Center. Amormino said the officer was drawn outside his apartment by the sounds of a disturbance and saw four or six males arguing with other residents. Amormino said the officer and the other men began arguing. A fight then broke out, and Amormino said the "officer's duty weapon discharged," fatally wounding Chamit. The officer suffered a cut lip. Amormino said the officer is a 2 1/2 -year veteran of Customs and Border Protection, part of the Department of Homeland Security. A law enforcement source said the officer works at Los Angeles International Airport.  The shooting remained under investigation Saturday and no arrests had been made. Amormino said sheriff's investigators will forward their findings to the Orange County district attorney's office.[more] and  [more] and [more]

Tape Shown of PG County Officer Beating Handcuffed Non-Resisting Black Man

Prince George's County prosecutors on Tuesday showed jurors a videotape that allegedly shows a county police officer kicking and striking a handcuffed suspect after a police chase.  The tape, shown on the second day of Cpl. Bryan K. Addis's trial for second-degree assault and making a false entry on a public record, is central to the prosecution's claim that the officer used excessive force while arresting the carjacking suspect Oct. 5, 2003.  However, Addis's attorneys argue that the officer's use of force to subdue Vernon Bullock after a high speed chase was justified because he didn't not know whether Bullock was armed when he crashed a stolen van after exiting the Baltimore-Washington Parkway in Greenbelt.  The case comes a year after the county signed an agreement with the Justice Department after a lengthy federal probe of alleged abuse and excessive force by county officers. Prince George's agreed to implement several measures to help reduce misconduct, including the installation of mounted cameras inside police cruisers that record officers actions when they leave their cars. The videotape introduced in Addis's trial and played Tuesday was from the dashboard camera that recorded his pursuit of Bullock and the eventual arrest.  Bullock, now 22, used a gun he found in the woods to steal the van from a man washing it in his driveway. He then led police on a 12 minute chase through Greenbelt and the surrounding area, weaving through traffic at high speeds. As Bullock exited the Parkway at Route 197, he lost control, skidded across an intersection and crashed into a guard rail. The tape shows a dazed Bullock stumble out of the van onto the ground. Addis and other officers involved in the chase soon swarm around him.  Addis appears to kick Bullock as he lay on the ground and swing his baton at him several times. It is not clear whether the kicks or baton blows landed.  Addis then walks away for a short while, during which time Bullock is handcuffed and propped up on a curb. Addis then returns, and appears to strike Bullock several times with his knee and again with the baton.   Another officer who took part in the arrest, Sgt. Tiffany Yuen, handcuffed Bullock as he lay on the ground. She said she did not see Addis hit Bullock, but testified the suspect was not fighting back.  "I don't remember any resistance," she said.

Black Man files lawsuit against Matteson Police officer claiming excessive force

A man has filed a lawsuit against a suburban Matteson police officer claiming the officer beat him up while he was in custody. What began as a routine call to break up a disturbance in a hotel parking lot is now a federal case. The incident happened early Monday morning outside the Holiday Inn and Lincoln Highway and Interstate-57. Frederick Jenkins says he was leaving a Super Bowl party at the hotel when police told him to get out of his vehicle. Jenkins says an officer then without provocation slammed him to the ground. "The sergeant arrived on the scene and specifically asked him who did this to you. Mr. Jenkins told the sergeant, your guys did this to me," said Gregory Kulis, attorney. In the lawsuit the officer involved is identified as John Doe because Jenkins and several purported witnesses did not get his name or badge number. On Tuesday morning Jenkins filed a complaint at Madison police headquarters. Today he went to federal court to file his civil rights lawsuit. "We filed that lawsuit today to seek justice because in this building people hear the claims of people like Frederick Jenkins, Sr.," said Robert Fioretti, attorney. Police sources tell ABC 7 that the officers were dispatched to the hotel to break up a fight between Jenkins and his cousin and the cousin injured the plaintiff. The source also claimed that while Jenkins was detained for some time Monday morning at police headquarters, he refused medical treatment. His lawyers say officers denied Jenkins' repeated pleas to see a doctor. "If a citizen is standing in a parking lot bleeding profusely from his head, screaming please take me to a hospital, and the police walk away, what do you think?" said Fioretti. [more]

Court upholds Cincinnati Police Officer's firing in Owensby case - Black Man Killed by Cops

The firing of a Cincinnati police officer involved in the death of a suspect could stand if a Tuesday court ruling survives appeal. Officer Patrick Caton was fired two years ago for his involvement in the death of Roger Owensby Jr., who suffocated in police custody. After an arbitrator ordered the city last year to reinstate him, the city appealed. A judge ruled in the city's favor Tuesday, saying Caton can be fired because the city's contract with the police union allows firings for "just cause." Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Ethna Cooper based her decision on a fellow judge's ruling in another case, that of Officer Victor Spellen. He also was fired in February 2003, for lying during the investigation of Owensby's death. The city won that appeal, too, but Spellen has since appealed to the First District Court of Appeals. Caton will appeal also, said Sgt. Harry Roberts, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, which is paying Caton's legal fees. "She (Cooper) didn't really make her own decision," Roberts said. "She based it on the prior ruling, which we also think is wrong." Caton, 39, was acquitted of misdemeanor assault in Owensby's death. In 2002, while awaiting the outcome of the internal investigation into Owensby's death, Caton was suspended again for using a racial slur picked up on his cruiser's recorder. Roger Owensby Jr. died in 2000 of mechanical asphyxiation in the parking lot of a Roselawn gas station. The Hamilton County Coroner ruled the death a homicide, saying the asphyxiation could have been caused when former Cincinnati Police Officer Robert Jorg placed him in a choke hold or by the weight of Officers Caton and Jorg subduing him. A jury acquitted Caton of assaulting Owensby Jr., although two officers testified they saw him hit Owensby Jr. after he was handcuffed. A jury acquitted Jorg of assault, but deadlocked on a charge of involuntary manslaughter. [more] and [more] and [more]

Beaten Man says Jackson Jailors to Blame

Beaten and unconscious, a Byram man says he lay helpless in a jail cell. And he says it all happened right here in Jackson. Maryland Singleton says he went to the detention center in downtown Jackson without a scratch, but came out brutally beaten. Afraid to leave home, and suffering from broken bones, Singleton says now he wants justice. "I really thought they were trying to kill me. I was screaming for them to please stop," said Singleton. Scars cover Singleton's head, scars he says he suffered in jail, at the hands of jailors. "I was handcuffed,...I couldn't protect myself at all," said Singleton. Singleton was arrested early Friday morning, charged with driving under the influence. But he says a worse crime began when he got to jail. "I had a cell phone no one took from me in my front pocket of my coveralls an when I started to use it they shouted at me not to use the cell phone and one officer opened up the cage," said Singleton. Singleton says the officer threw a punch, cracking his cheekbone. Defenseless in handcuffs, Singleton says the first blow was caught on surveillance tape in the jail. He says Saturday he and police investigators watched it together. "She said there was no reason for that man to hit you the way he did. There's no reason for you to be beat up the way you are." When WLBT asked to see the tape, police said no. Singleton does not have a copy of the video. But Singleton says most of the beating was off-camera, when jailors dragged him, still in hand cuffs, to a dark cell. "I remember several blows, I mean my head was just going back and forth like a rag doll and I was eventually knocked unconsious," said Singleton. Waking up in a pool of blood, still staining his undershirt in this home-video the next day, Singleton says he cried out but no one responded."There was a styrofoam cup in the room and I stuffed it in the toilet and I just started flushing it and I flooded the whole jail cell and that made them come back there and they finally saw me." Singleton was taken to UMC, where he was diagnosed with a broken cheek, black eye, bruised ear, and a cut forehead needing ten stitches. Records show he got to the hospital at 3:30 in the morning.  [more]

Boot camp sued over Latino boy's death -- 15 Years Old--- died after a week at Missouri school

The parents of a Santa Rosa boy who died at a Missouri boot camp for troubled youths have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the operators and some employees of the facility. The boy's parents, Victor and Gracia Reyes, filed the suit Friday against the Thayer Learning Center Boot Camp, its affiliated Parent Help referral agency, and three boot camp employees. The lawsuit, filed in Buchanan County, Mo., states Roberto M. Reyes, 15, was "subjected to sadistic, cruel, and harmful acts. ... He was thrown into solitary confinement, refused bathroom facilities, and forced to (lie) in his own excrement for extended periods of time." An autopsy of the 6-foot-2-inch teen "documented numerous bruises, cuts, and ulcerations consistent with physical abuse," the suit alleges. "As you can expect, the death of any 15-year-old from any cause would be a tragedy," said the Reyes family's lawyer, James T. Thompson of Kansas City, Mo. "But the circumstances, as they appear to come to light, are difficult for anyone ... to comprehend." Thayer Learning Center and the Parent Help referral agency are owned by Willa and John Bundy, of Kidder, Mo. The couple could not be reached for comment. Missouri officials are investigating whether the teenager was physically abused by camp counselors and provided insufficient medical care. He died on Nov. 3, less than a week after he arrived at the camp, in Kidder, 60 miles north of Kansas City. State and county officials said in December that earlier medical treatment of Roberto Reyes, who died of a spider or insect bite, might have prevented his death. [more]

Department of Justice investigates shooting of Mexican by Broward Deputy

 The U.S. Department of Justice has ordered a preliminary investigation into the November shooting of a Mexican national by a Broward Sheriff's Office deputy.  "An FBI agent has been assigned to the case following a request from the Department of Justice," said Judy Orihuela, spokeswoman for the FBI in Miami. "We are gathering preliminary reports from the agencies, and those will be sent up to Washington, D.C."  The federal investigation comes nearly three months after Deputy Lewis Perry shot German Gomez, an undocumented day laborer, outside a Pompano Beach apartment complex where he lived.  Perry was responding to a possible burglary call. Gomez and his cousin, who had arrived in the United States three days earlier, were unfamiliar with the complex and attempted to enter the wrong apartment.  The Broward Sheriff's Office could not comment on the federal investigation, according to spokesman Jim Leljedal.  The inquiry was prompted by a national day laborer group that contacted federal officials requesting they look into possible violations of federal criminal civil rights statutes. "We got involved because we are very concerned about the violence against day laborers," said Pablo Alvarado, executive director of the Los Angeles-based National Day Laborer Organizing Network. "In the last year we saw an increase in the violent attacks against day laborers, especially in the state of Florida." While the investigation is preliminary, federal officials could decide to seek prosecution, according to a letter from the Justice Department's civil rights division sent to Alvarado, a copy of which was obtained by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

DEMAND JUSTICE FOR SHEILA DETOY!

On May 13, 1998, my friend, Sheila Detoy was shot and killed by Officer Greg Breslin of the SFPD. She was only 17 years old when Officer Breslin's bullet tore through her neck, causing her to bleed out. It what was called "a stakeout gone awry." Was she armed? No! Did the SFPD even know who she was? No!   Undercover officers were trying to apprehend Ramondo Cox for failure to appear on a drug warrant. Cox climbed into the back passenger seat of the car in which Sheila Detoy was also a passenger. When the car attempted to leave Cox's residence, Officer Breslin, dressed in plainclothes, fired into the car without provocation.   Breslin claimed that he was in danger of being struck by the car. But, both witness testimony and forensic evidence clearly proved that he was NOT in any danger of being struck by the car. He claimed that the car was traveling at a speed between 25-30 MPH. Witnesses stated that the car was, in fact, traveling between 3-5MPH out of the horseshoe driveway. There weren't any tire tracks which would have corroborated Breslin's assertion that the car had been traveling at an excessive speed.  Lt. David Robinson of the SFPD, the investigating officer in my friend Sheila Detoy's case, immediately told the media, "She was a victim, but she was no innocent victim. She was trying to live the hip-hop lifestyle." It was clear from the beginning that Sheila's case was biased. Where were the officers while Lt. Robinson made an immediate claim that this shooting was justified? According to SFPD policy, the officers involved in a shooting are to be sequestered until they each have been questioned separately by the investigating officer in the case (Lt. David Robinson). But Breslin and the others present at the time of her killing went to the Police Officers Association headquarters to seek legal counsel before they were ever questioned. They weren't questioned until 7 hours after Officer Breslin had killed Sheila Detoy. The news soon spread all over the city. The media labeled Sheila Detoy as a "good girl gone bad" while family and friends were still in the process of finding out that she had been killed. The media wanted to find out what led her astray without ever questioning why Officer Breslin had fired in the first place. [more]

Black Man to sue East Palo Alto police for alleged beating

Oakland civil rights attorney John Burris will file a civil lawsuit against the East Palo Alto Police Department on behalf of Calvin Brooks, a man who was reportedly beaten by two off-duty police officers and an 18-year-old volunteer last summer. The officers and the volunteer were indicted Wednesday on felony counts of police brutality by a San Mateo grand jury, and were released on $25,000 bail each. They will be in court Thursday to enter their pleas.  East Palo Alto Police Officers Edward Rivers, Jr., Johnny Taflinger, Jr. and Explorer Eddi Tapia Torres confronted Brooks outside a 7-Eleven on Aug. 21, 2004 and asked him if they could purchase drugs.  The officers and Torres were not on duty, and chased Brooks down after he fled, roughing him up so badly that he needed hospitalization.  Brooks, 42, told The Times on Friday that he knew the police did not like him, saying his criminal record had made him a target. But Brooks said he never thought the police would ever actually assault him. "The officers identified themselves as police," said Burris, who is well-known for representing Rodney King and the victims in the Oakland Riders trial, among many other police brutality cases. "Even though they were off-duty, they were acting as police."  Burris said he will file a claim     against the three officers individually and the department itself by Feb. 15. Burris said he plans to file a federal civil rights lawsuit as well. "This is an outrageous use of police power and a lack of sensitivity to the plight of the people in the streets. For (the officers) this was just fun and horsing around," Burris said. In addition, the fact that an 18-year-old volunteer trainee was involved makes the case even more egregious, Burris said.

ACLU Probes Ceres Police Sweeps Following Attack on Officers

Three civil rights groups have filed a public records request for documentation of Ceres police tactics following the gang-member killing of a police officer last month. The American Civil Liberties Union, California Rural Legal Assistance, and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights made the Public Records Act request Thursday. They want copies of documents covering guidelines and procedures for multiple police sweeps involving Latino youth in Ceres and Modesto in January.  The police actions followed the shooting death of Police Sergeant Howard Stevenson, 39, on January 9. Active-duty Marine and Norteno gang member Andres Raya fatally shot Stevenson and seriously wounded another officer. Raya died in a shoot-out with police later that night.  A week later, Ceres police, along with the Modesto Police Department and Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department, began conducting sweeps in Ceres and neighboring Modesto.  The law enforcement agencies reported making 83 arrests, detaining 135 individuals for questioning, contacting 391 people for personal information, conducting 270 home searches, and making 160 vehicle stops in connection with the sweeps.  The Public Records Act filing requests police documents to learn if house searches were made with proper consent, the reasons for vehicle stops and searches, when and how the department's new semi-automatic rifles were displayed, and criteria for determining gang membership and associations.

Judge: Oakland Is Failing To Live Up To Riders Case Police Settlement

A federal judge Monday said he was angry that Oakland police reform measures contained in a civil lawsuit settlement aren't being carried out as promised. But U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson agreed to give the city of Oakland more time after Oakland's new interim police chief, the city manager and other top officials told him they were committed to making the changes. Henderson said, "I am heartened" by the statements by Interim Police Chief Wayne Tucker, City Administrator Deborah Edgerly and others. He set a new hearing on the case on April 25. But the judge opened the court session by saying, "I haven't seen anything like this in 25 years. I'm so angry at the ignoring of the decree. We're no place today. It's all talk and no walk."  The settlement was reached in 2003 in a series of federal civil rights lawsuits filed by 119 people who said they were abused by an alleged clique of rogue officers known as "The Riders."  Separately, three officers who were allegedly part of the group are currently undergoing a criminal trial in Alameda County Superior Court on charges of beating and kidnapping citizens, filing false police reports and conspiring to obstruct justice. A fourth officer who was allegedly the leader of the group is a fugitive.  In the civil settlement, the city agreed to police reforms including increased field supervision, improved training, and recording of data including a suspect's race when police stop a vehicle or pedestrian.  The city also agreed to pay the 119 plaintiffs and their lawyers $10.9 million. The settlement was the largest in the city's history.  [more]

Arrest of members of Malcolm X Grassroots Movement Copwatch Program

  Three members of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, Lumumba Bandele, Dasaw Floyd, and Djbril Toure were arrested in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn just past midnight this morning. At the time of their arrest, the three were engaged in the legal monitoring of police activities as part of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement Copwatch Program. According to Bandele, he Floyd and Toure were driving down Greene Avenue when they heard sirens blaring. They observed an unusual amount of police activity on the block. They parked their car, turned on their video camera and approached the scene when a witness to the events ran past them stating that the police were beating someone. Bandele, Toure and Floyd continued to walk toward the scene when they were stopped by an officer who told them that they had to leave. Bandele told the officer that they had a legal right to observe the activities, and that they were not interfering with the arrest, only witnessing it. At that point, the officer, who was never touched by Bandele, Toure or Floyd placed the three under arrest, charging them with assault and obstruction of governmental administration.

No criminal charges in LA Police Beating of Black Man

  

• Cops Go Free Despite Videotaped Beating
  

Prosecutors Thursday announced they will not file criminal charges against a city police officer who was videotaped pummeling a car-theft suspect with a metal flashlight, a case that critics compared to the racially charged Rodney King beating. The decision was denounced by minority community leaders and Mayor James Hahn, who said, "I do not agree with that decision. I saw what you saw." After a five-month review, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office concluded that there wasn't sufficient evidence to bring charges against Officer John Hatfield, who struck suspect Stanley Miller 11 times with a 2-pound steel flashlight after a June 23 car-and-foot chase in South Los Angeles. "In light of the totality of the circumstances facing Officer Hatfield, we cannot establish beyond a reasonable doubt that Officer Hatfield's actions were without legal necessity," Deputy District Attorney Margo Baxter said in a statement. Miller, who is black, was beaten on the ground after he appeared to surrender.  The district attorney's decision "points out the regretable reality that all too often in this community we have to deal with a double standard in justice," said John Mack, president of the Los Angeles Urban League, who has been monitoring the case for the mayor. Prosecutors had been reviewing the case since Aug. 20, when the Police Department turned over the results of its investigation into the beating. Police Chief William Bratton did not make a recommendation on whether criminal charges should be filed. Miller, who turns 37 on Friday, filed a $25 million claim against the city, saying he suffered brain damage and other injuries in the arrest. [more] and [more]

LAPD KIll Black Teenager - 13 Year Old

• Police Chief Urges Community To 'Allow Process To Work'  - What PROCESS would that be?

Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton is scheduled to report to police commissioners Tuesday about the Stanley Miller case, even as city officials deal with a new controversy over the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old suspected car thief over the weekend. The shooting occurred just days after prosecutors announced they would not file charges against an LAPD officer who repeatedly struck Miller with a flashlight after a televised car and foot chase, prompting an outcry among some Black leaders. Now, a makeshift memorial has been set up at the site where Devon Brown, an 8th grader at a magnet school for gifted children, was shot and killed by police after a 3.5-mile chase. Police initially said Brown was a gang member but later said they could not confirm that. The shooting sparked outrage among some community groups, and a prayer vigil and community meeting about Brown's death was called for Tuesday night, according to NBC4. The police officer who reportedly fired 10 rounds into the car, killing the unarmed teen, was identified as a 31-year-old male who has been with the Los Angeles Police Department for nine years. The driver of the patrol car, a six-year veteran officer, age 29, did not fire a weapon, police said. In response to angry protests over Brown's shooting, Bratton urged the community to allow the process to work. "We will not make a determination for a number of months," Bratton said. "And we have an extensive and elaborate process we have to  to go through." [more] and [more]
