LAPD Killer Spotted at the Grammys - oops that's LL Cool J -- If you Look Anything Like Dorner then Leave Southern CA Immediately

/

From [HERE] The manhunt for Christopher Dorner led LAPD SWAT officers to a Northridge Lowe's home improvement store after people reported seeing someone who resembled the fugitive former police officer there. LAPD swarmed the store off Nordhoff Street about 5 p.m. Customers were escorted out of the store as police looked for any signs of Dorner. LAPD stressed that it was an unconfirmed sighting.

[Updated 7:27 p.m.: A law enforcement source said the call to the Lowe's might have been related to a couple fighting outside the store]. There have been several reports similar to this one in recent days that didn't pan out.

The search came several hours after the LAPD issued a tactical alert as it handled the Dorner manhunt as well as security for the Grammys. The LAPD did not detail its Grammy security arrangements, but the department regularly sends a large contingent of officers to awards shows. This year, the Grammys occurred on the fifth day of a manhunt for Dorner, who is suspected of killing an Irvine couple and a white Riverside police officer. (In photo, LL Cool J, who was a host). 

The tactical alert came the same day that Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced a $1-million reward for information leading to Dorner's capture. “We will not tolerate anyone undermining the security of this community,” Villaraigosa said at a news conference at LAPD headquarters downtown. “We will not tolerate this reign of terror.” (of course, he wasn't referring to LAPD terrororzing non-white people in their "community") 

If you are Brown Skinned & Look Anything like Dorner Leave Southern, CA. Immediately. LAPD will Shoot to Kill. In the event that a white cop made such a mistaken identity and shot a non-white person, his fellow officers, the police chief, internal affairs, the union, the media, the prosecutors, the judge and the jury would most likely support, defend & finance the white officer's "right" to do so under the present "emergency" circumstances. Such is the nature of White collective power in a white supremacy system. [MORE]

The Dorner situation is an "emergency" because a Black police officer killed a white cop and unarmed white people. In the history of modern law enforcement this has never happened before. In fact, in the history of modern law enforcement there has never been a single instance of a Black police officer shooting or killing an unarmed white person.

In photo, Torrence Police say they saw a driver in a black Honda (they all look the same) pickup truck driving on Flagler Lane near Beryl Street. Dorner was allegedly driving blue Nissan Titan. Officers, suspecting it was Dorner, purposely collided with the truck and shot at the Dorner clone. The driver was a baggage handler at LAX heading to the beach to go surfing, The Times reported. Avoiding bullets that had ripped through his windshield, David Perdue, a white man. was not shot but suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury in the crash and has not been to work since. His black 2006 Honda pickup truck was totaled.

"I don't want to use the word 'buffoonery,' but it really is unbridled police lawlessness," Perdue's attorney, Robert Sheahen, told The Times. "These people need training and they need restraint."

In a news conference near the scene of the shooting hours after it took place, Torrance police falsely said Perdue was not injured in the incident. [MORE]

"Where's that warrant now, you f------ n-----?": Denver Police Won't Be Charged In 2009 Beating of Black College Student

/

From [HERE] and [MORE] Three white Denver Police officers who beat a Black college student during a traffic stop in 2009, will not be charged with any civil rights violations.

Alexander Landau, now 23, told The Denver Post that representatives from the FBI called him on Friday night to inform him that they didn't believe they had enough evidence to charged the officers with a federal crime.

Landau's case brought about one of the largest police brutality settlements in Denver history, totaling $795,000 in 2011. It also brought about community outrage, when photos of Landau's bloody face surfaced after the incident.

The original lawsuit accused the officers of stopping Landau, 19, after midnight on Jan. 15, 2009, for making an illegal turn, then calling him "nigger" and beating his face and head with their fists, a radio and a metal flashlight until he was unconscious.

Landau, a student at Community College of Denver, was treated at the hospital for a broken nose, brain bleeding, a concussion, a hemorrhage in his right eye and head lacerations that required several dozen stitches.

Landau was driving with fellow student Addison Hunold as a passenger about 12:30 a.m. on Jan. 15, 2009, when Nixon pulled him over for an illegal left turn, the lawsuit said. Landau did not have his license with him, but he gave Nixon his identifying information so the officer could look up his license. (Apparently then theywere asked to exit the vehicle for no valid reason). Nixon patted down both men and found marijuana on passenger Hunold. The officer then searched the interior of the car. Then Murr and Middleton arrived.

The conflict erupted when Officer Nixon moved to search the trunk.  Landau, the driver, asked if police had a search warrant as he "stepped toward the officers with his hands deferentially raised in the air, showing that he was not a threat. Murr grabbed Landau's left arm and Middleton clasped his right arm, the lawsuit said. "Nixon then punched the restrained (man) in the face" and Landau fell to the ground.

To provide cover for the "unprovoked attack," the lawsuit claimed, Murr falsely yelled: "He's going for the gun." Landau shouted, "No, I'm not!" the lawsuit said. The cops began pummeling Landau first with their fists, then with a police radio and a metal flashlight. Additional officers arriving from the police station a few blocks away and surrounding the scene. Some of the reinforcements joining in the fracas, others standing and watching. 

In police reports, the three officers said they were unable to subdue the 5-foot-8-inch, 155-pound teenager. At one point, the lawsuit said, Murr put his revolver to Landau's head and threatened to shoot him. Landau lost consciousness and awoke lying in a pool of his own blood, the lawsuit said. "Where's that warrant now, you f------- n-----?" a male officer asked, according to the lawsuit.

Mostly White Jury Allows White Fresno Cops to Go Free in Beating, Stomping, Shooting & Police Dog Attack on Non-threatening Latino Man

/

What is Collective White Power? From [HERE] and [MORE] The federal criminal trial of a Fresno police sergeant and three former officers ended abruptly Friday after jurors said they were hopelessly deadlocked 9-3 to find the defendants not guilty of charges of police brutality and obstruction of justice. The panel's vote was a devastating blow to the prosecution, which convinced three Fresno police officers to testify against their own. The jury had one or two people who appeared to be Hispanic. The rest were white. [MORE]

(What kind of white people (racist suspects) were on the jury? There are whites who:

  • are practicing racism against non-whites at a particular moment
  • are not practicing racism at that moment but have practiced it at a previous time, or will practice it at a later time
  • are not practicing racism at that moment, but say and do nothing to stop those who are
  • are not practicing racism at that moment, but have no problem with other whites practicing racism (don’t care)
  • are benefiting from the crime of racism even if they are not practicing racism at that moment
  • refuse to tell WHO is practicing racism; HOW racism is being practiced; and refuse to help the victims with the information they have
  • oppose racism by exposing and opposing whites who practice it [MORE])

It's unclear whether prosecutors will retry the case. Suspect Rolando Celdon was punched and kicked, bit by a police dog, shot with a stun gun and blasted several times with a bean-bag shotgun in October 2005. He did not testify as he was deported as a result of the underlying criminal case. 

"What a waste of taxpayers money," said attorney Marshall Hodgkins, who defended former Fresno officer Sean Plymale.

Inquest Begins of White Milwaukee Police Officers who Ignored Black Man as he Suffocated to Death in Cop Car

/

Police Car as Coffin. "Sir I Can't Breathe." Williams suffocated to death while handcuffed, naked from a strip search, in the back of a police car. He repeatedly told white police officers he couldn't breathe for at least 15 minutes between the time of his arrest and his death. They repeatedly ignore him as he suffocated to death. It is captured on graphic video which was released in September. (graphic video, no sound for first minute) 

From [HERE] In the five months since the public release of a video of Derek Williams struggling to breathe in the back of a Milwaukee police car, citizens have clamored to be heard. Beginning Monday, six of them will get their chance in a Milwaukee County courtroom, serving as jurors at an inquest into Williams' death. Their advisory verdict will guide special prosecutor John Franke as he considers whether to criminally charge any of the police officers involved.

The six jurors and three alternates are expected to be chosen Monday morning. All that week and perhaps into next, they will hear evidence and testimony, including expert interpretations of the video. Then, they will vote on which charges, if any, should be issued.

In more than 25 years, no Milwaukee County inquest jury has recommended criminal charges against a police officer involved in a fatal shooting or in-custody death. So, expect white supremacy not justice. [MORE]

Williams, 22, died in July 2011. The initial investiga tions into his death - by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, the Police Department and the city's Fire and Police Commission - all cleared the officers of wrongdoing. 

Chisholm reopened the case, named Franke special prosecutor and sought the inquest after a Journal Sentinel investigation prompted the medical examiner's office to change its ruling in the death from natural to homicide.  The ruling was changed after a reporter provided an assistant medical examiner with police reports that showed force was used during the arrest - reports that contradicted police statements to the pathologist.

Rambro About to be Ghost: Looking for Brown Skin Man who Killed White Cops, LAPD Terrorize Community - 71 yr old Latino Woman Shot in the Back

/

Shot from the Rear? From [HERE] and [HERE] An attorney representing two Latino women who were delivering newspapers when they were shot by police during a massive manhunt for an ex-LAPD officer called the incident "unacceptable," saying his clients looked nothing like the suspect. The women were driving a blue Toyota Tacoma. Dorner is allegedly by himself in a blue Nissan Titan.  (In a white supremacy system Non-white people absolutely cannot kill 1. white people and/or 2. cops. Dorner did both. 

(Black History Fact In the history of modern law enforcement there has never been a single instance of a Black police officer shooting or killing an unarmed white person.[MORE] In fact, according to Roger Aber, until now no Black police officer has ever shot or killed a white police officer [MORE])  

A team of Los Angeles police officers protecting the home of a high-ranking officer in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue believed a pickup truck that stopped in front of the house matched Dorner's blue Nissan Titan. Police opened fire. A neighbor said he heard as many as 20 shots.

Emma Hernandez, 71, was delivering the Los Angeles Times with her daughter, Margie Carranza, 47, in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue in Torrance on Thursday morning when Los Angeles police detectives apparently mistook their pickup for that of Christopher Dorner, the 33-year-old fugitive suspected of killing three people and injuring two others. Hernandez, who attorney Glen T. Jonas said was shot twice in the back, was in stable condition late Thursday. Carranza received stitches on her finger.

"The problem with the situation is it looked like the police had the goal of administering street justice and in so doing, didn't take the time to notice that these two older, small Latina women don't look like a large black man," Jonas said. Officials seeking Dorner describe him as black, 6 feet tall and weighing 270 pounds (narrowing him down to thousands of brown skinned males.) 

Looking for a brown skin man: Police officers search a vehicle for former Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner at a checkpoint near Big Bear Lake, California. Killed Cop Exception to 4th Amendment During "an emergency" (such as the alleged murder of a white person by a non-white person) can the rights of non-whites be suspended and can police detain & kill suspect non-whites?

Television images from the scene of the shooting showed newspapers scattered alongside the blue pickup and in the bed of the bullet-ridden vehicle, which sat on the street for hours after the shooting. Jonas said the vehicle was also "the wrong color and the wrong model," compared to Dorner's.

Sources said the Los Angeles police detectives involved in the Torrance shooting were on protective detail for a police official named in an online manifesto that authorities say was posted to a Facebook page they believe belongs to Dorner. "Tragically, we believe this is a case of mistaken identity," LAPD Chief Charlie Beck told reporters earlier Thursday about the shooting.

Shooting #2 (Killing Every N***** in sight): Cops Purposefully Crash into truck & Open Fire on driver of Blue Honda. Dorner was allegedly driving a blue Nissan truck. (so why should only cops have guns again?)

From [HERE] The second shooting involved Torrance police officers, who were stationed nearby in the event LAPD needed them. About 25 minutes after the first shooting, Torrance police opened fire after spotting another truck similar to Dorner's at Flagler Lane and Beryl Street. Police shot to kill. No one was reported hurt.

Police say they saw a driver in another blue pickup truck driving on Flagler Lane near Beryl Street. Officers, suspecting it was Dorner (because it was blue), purposely collided with the truck and shot at him. The driver wasn't hurt, avoiding bullets that had ripped through his windshield.

Black Manhunt is On for Anti-Racist (blind reaction to stress, anger & fear) Cop Terrorizing the LAPD: Don't Blame the gun, blame white supremacy

/

 

White supremacy/racism is a global system of organized behavior (thought, speech and action) for white supremacy domination in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and war). White supremacy domination and oppression of all non-white people is essential for global white genetic survival; 90% of the world is non-white. [MORE]

Nelly Fuller and Frances Cress Welsing have explained that racism also contains the seeds and origin of counter-racism, the behavior dynamic of liberation for the non-white victims of white supremacy. Counter-racism should not be confused with anti-racism, which is a blind reaction to stress, anger and fear caused by racism. It is an unintelligent reaction to racism as it fails to recognize white supremacy/racism for what it is and what motivates white people to practice racism. [MORE] and [MORE]

Killing LAPD officers in response to racism/white supremacy is anti-racist. Other unintelligent reactions (non-constructive practices that have not lead to justice) to white supremacy/racism are 'practices of complaining, moaning, crying, groaning, begging, protesting (poking holes in the air with signs), marches/parades, clapping hands and singing "We shall Overcome" when confronted with the death-causing, life-stultifying problems posed by white supremacy. None of this shit solves problems. Non-white people must dissect and analyze white supremacy/racism to its core. With this knowledge, Non-white people can take the necessary steps to eliminate the problem.' [MORE]

According to Nelly Fuller there is no known code of White Supremacy that can be formally recognized as such in a single set of words or pictures. The basic code of white supremacy is the total pattern of everyday thought, speech and action of the individual white persons who practice it." All things that help to promote it are apart of the white code.[the code]  

In a white supremacy system, non-whites should expect racism 100% of the time from white people. If white people are not racist to you in your interactions with them, then be pleasantly surprised. Easy to say and more challenging "to do the knowledge." But a  failure to do so may lead to unnecessary anger, fear, hurt and stress which could cause conduct such as killing sprees. 

Former Los Angeles Police Department officer Chris Dorner is shown meeting former LAPD Chief William Bratton in an undated photo. Dorner also was a Navy reservist.

From [HERE] Dorner is a victim of white supremacy who was used by racists/white supremacists (the LAPD) to help maintain the system of white supremacy as a Black cop. He is believed to have killed one police officer and injured two others yesterday, in addition to killing two civilians, on a spree that he threatened would have a "high action of violence" in an angry missive posted to his Facebook wall earlier this week. Police throughout the Los Angeles and Southern California region were working to apprehend Dorner. 

In the letter, Dorner detailed his grievances with his former employer, the Los Angeles Police Department, including his struggles with the department's internal affairs department, which ultimately ended in his getting fired, according to the manifesto. He blamed the problems with the LAPD for inspiring his killing spree.

A SWAT team enters a home on Club View Drive in Big Bear searching for former LAPD Officer Christopher Jordan Dorner.

Dorner accused the department of being racist and using excessive force.

"The department has not changed since the Rampart and Rodney King days. It has gotten worse," Dorner wrote. "I know I will be vilified by the LAPD and the media. Unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name."

Rambro about to be Ghost. Police respond in Riverside, Calif., after an officer was killed and another critically wounded in a shootout with former California cop Christopher Dorner on Feb. 7, 2013.

Dorner named members of the LAPD whom he would target and said they would not be safe at home or at work. "I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," he wrote. "You will now live the life of the prey." Read the manifesto

Don't Blame the Gun

According to Nelly Fuller:

"Whereas the victims of White Supremacy who commit unjust acts are guilty of having committed the acts, they are not responsible for the acts. In any socio-economic system dominated by white supremacists (racists), the White Supremacists are responsible for all unjust acts committed by persons who are subject to the power of White Supremacists. [the code]

White Supremacy (Racism) itself is an unjust socio-material DICTATORSHIP. Therefore, the persons who are responsible for all unjust acts committed by persons who are subject to White Supremacy are not the persons who committed the acts [non-white people]. The persons responsible for the acts are the White Supremacists who are in charge of persons who committed the acts.

Latino Students on LAPD 'Gang List' Settle Racial Targeting Case: Brown Skinned Students Detained, Searched & Segregated

/

From [HERE] Latino students who said they were profiled as gang members, rounded up and searched without consent have reached a settlement in a racial profiling lawsuit against a suburban Los Angeles County school district and police department.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California announced the settlement Wednesday. Under terms of the settlement negotiated by the ACLU, the Glendale Police Department agreed to train officers on dealing with students at schools and revised its policies on racial profiling. The Glendale Unified School District agreed to notify parents if students are interrogated on campus.

The lawsuit stemmed from an incident where Glendale and Los Angeles police officers, county probation officers and school administrators approached Latino students at the start of lunch period and directed them to two classrooms.

Students said they were made to pose for photos and provide personal information, which they were told would be kept on file so officers could assess whether the students were "on the right path" and be used to identify them if they got into trouble, the lawsuit said. The teenagers said they also were interrogated about their personal activities and told they were on a "gang list." Some said belongings were searched without consent.

When students asked why they were being detained, they were told to "sit down and shut up," according to the lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of eight of the 56 affected students. School administrators and police told students they could not leave until they had answered questions, and officers said they would come to their homes at 6 a.m. if they did not assent, students said.

According to the lawsuit, students were told they could not sit at certain lunch tables or associate with Latino classmates who also had been targeted. Officials had no evidence that students had broken laws or school rules, the suit said.

Glendale police Sgt. Thomas Lorenz (white man in photo) said the incident was an effort to educate youths about the dangers of gangs and did not involve racial profiling. "Unfortunately, it was perceived as more than that," he said.

Milwaukee Police Accused of Assaulting Black Man after Traffic Stop for Expired Tags: Cops Claim he Scraped his own face on the asphalt

/

From [HERE] and [MORE] 19-year-old Jordan Cain of Milwaukee has been charged with obstructing/resisting an officer and bail jumping, for an incident in which Cain accuses police of using excessive force and injuring him. Cain filed an official complaint against officers on Tuesday morning, February 5th.

Racist suspect, Police Chief Edward Flynn (in photo) and a deputy police commander on Tuesday released new details, including a squad car video, that they say justify the actions of three officers who struggled with a 19-year-old Milwaukee man during his arrest at a gas station Jan. 26. At a news conference, commander Hudson allowed reporters to watch the police video, which did not include audio. Reporters were not allowed to film the video, nor were they given copies. Hudson said the police video is considered evidence and cannot be released.

However, police provided copies of another video recorded by a surveillance camera at Kool Petroleum. The gas station video is barely discernable and reveals nothing except that two squad cars and Cain were at a gas station - apparently multiple officers were necessary to investigate the expired tags on the Black man's car. 

According to the officers, police stopped Cain on January 26th just after 10:00 a.m. at a gas station near 35th and Townsend because they believed the license plate on his car was suspended. The complaint states an officer asked Cain for identification, and Cain said it was in his trunk, and exited his vehicle. They claim that Cain placed a plastic baggie in his mouth and began chewing it.

Police say at this time, there was reason to fear for Cain’s safety — a fear he had swallowed a bag of some type of drug, and may overdose.  According to police, an officer ordered Cain to spit out the bag, but did not. 

Flynn said one officer saw Cain pulling his hands from his pockets and putting what appeared to be a plastic baggie into his mouth with his right hand. Flynn said the officer reported that he observed this from five feet away and believed from experience and training that the baggie contained narcotics. (baggie training?) 

Flynn said the second officer saw Cain chewing on something. That officer did not see a baggie going into Cain's mouth, Flynn said.

"I don't see how this is a discrepancy," Flynn said.

Flynn acknowledged that police did not ask for a drug test to confirm whether Cain had ingested some kind of narcotic. He said police made that decision because they had no plans to charge him with drug possession (officers don't charge, prosecutors do - bw)

"We sought medical attention because there is a risk," Flynn said.

Asked about Cain's facial injuries, Hudson said officers did not push his face against the ground. She said Cain was "moving and actively resisting" as his head was held down and handcuffed. As in he wiped his own face vigorously on the asphalt.

Ohio Attorney General Finds 'systemic failure' (White supremacy) in Cleveland Police Shooting of Unarmed Black Couple Shot 137 Times

/

Ohio AG said: "This Could Happen Again. The police department system failed these officers and they failed the general public. You can’t look at that report and come up with any other conclusion.” His statements echoed Neely Fuller who said: "You Should expect to be killed in the name of racism anytime, any place. You have been marked as an enemy because you are Black. Keep your protest signs because this will happen again. [mp3 Skip forward to 22:46]

(In photo, white Mayor Frank Jackson defends the actions of white police chief Michael McGrath at a press conference on February 5, 2013. Mostly white cops shot unarmed Black couple 137 times in 20 seconds.) 

 From [HERE] and [HERE] Leadership and communication failures led to the chaotic police chase in Cleveland last fall that ended with 13 officers firing 137 rounds and killing two Black people who likely were unarmed, Ohio’s attorney general said yesterday in reporting the results of an exhaustive investigation.

All told, 47 of the 137 rounds fired by 13 Cleveland officers hit their targets -- 43-year-old Timothy Russell and 30-year-old Malissa Williams, according to the Cuyahoga County medical examiner. Dr. Thomas P. Gilson reported that 24 of the rounds riddled the head, neck, body and an arm of Williams, who was a passenger in the Chevrolet Malibu SS, and 23 rounds struck the head, neck and extremities of driver Timothy Russell. 12 of the 13 officers involved were white.

Police Claim they heard a Gun Shot & Saw a Gun Thrown Out of a Window: Attorney General Found Car was Prone to Loud Backfiring from Muffler

“It was total lack of control,” Attorney General Mike DeWine said during a news conference at the state crime laboratory. He turned over the report to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty, who said he would take the case to a grand jury to determine whether any of the officers should face criminal charges. Officials didn’t announce a timeframe for the grand jury review, and McGinty said he hadn’t drawn any conclusions about charges.

The report did not assign blame to any of the officers but said “systemic failures” in the Cleveland Police Department led to the escalation of the Nov. 29 chase and the fatal shootings of the car’s driver, Timothy Russell, 43, and his 30-year-old passenger, Malissa Williams. Both were Black and unarmed.  

They were killed after they led the police on a chase that began outside the Justice Center. A police official said two Cleveland officers heard a gunshot and believed it came from a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu that David Russell owned. Russell  said he gave the car involved in the chase to his brother, and that it had a bad muffler -  which could account for the sound. Then the car sped away and the officers chased them. AG Dewine found that the car in fact was prone to loud backfiring. An officer also claimed that he saw a gun thrown out of the car during the high speed chase. No evidence of a gun being fired from inside the car was found according to Dewine. No guns were found.

Officers from Bratenahl, East Cleveland, the State Highway Patrol and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office joined in the pursuit. It ended on a dead-end access street in East Cleveland, near Heritage Middle School, where police claim Russell “violently rammed a police car and almost struck an officer,” Follmer said.

The chase continued for 25 minutes, reaching speeds of 120 miles-per-hour, before ending in the parking lot of Heritage Middle School. Russell ended up on a dead-end access road to an East Cleveland middle school. There approximately 25 polcie officers converged on the Black man's car. They surrounded the Malibu, and some officers were out of their cars when Russell rammed another police car, Gardner said. Officers then unloaded on the car firing at least 137 shots in about 20 seconds. [MORE] 

“Command failed, communications failed, the system failed,” DeWine said. He said that nearly 60 vehicles involved in the chase failed to follow city policy and joined the high-speed pursuit without asking a supervisor's permission.

White Supremacy = White Seattle Cop Gets "Plum Assignment" after Stomping Unarmed Latino Man - on video

/

White Collective Power/White Supremacy = When a white police officer is caught on video stomping an unarmed Latino Man while saying "I''m goin to beat the fucking Mexican piss out of you" and his fellow officers, the police chief, internal affairs, the union and the media support, defend, and finance that white police officer’s “right” to stomp him. [MORE] Would a non-white cop get star treatment after assaulting a white man?

From [HERE] It's been nearly two years since Seattle police detective Shandy Cobane was caught on camera and suspended for stomping on a Latino suspect's leg and shouting he was going to "beat the (expletive) Mexican piss" out of him in April 2010. And KIRO Radio's Don O'Neill is criticizing a new report that says Cobane has been given a "plum assignment" in the SPD robbery unit.

KING 5 reports Cobane has been assigned to what is considered "one of the most prestigious units" in the department despite a promise by Chief John Diaz Cobane would be transferred to street patrol as punishment.

But despite the implication that Cobane is receiving special treatment, Don argues it's the exact opposite. While Cobane wasn't assigned to patrol, he was instead assigned to an administrative job for the last two years. "I talked to Shandy about where he wanted to be sent. He wanted to be on patrol," Don says. "Chief Diaz sent him to a desk. And when you're a cop, you don't want to be sitting at a desk."

Cobane tearfully apologized after the incident, was demoted and given a 30-day suspension without pay in May 2011.

Don points out Cobane was a highly respected member of the gang unit who paid a hefty price for the incident, which he argues was sensationalized to begin with.

"His job was to talk to gang members. And it's not an easy thing to do," Don says. "He's a humble guy, he's a good guy, you talk to other cops about him and they say if there's any guy that you would want to have out on the street that knows how to handle himself with gang members and also knows how to handle himself in a tough situation it's Shandy Cobane."

White Supremacy = White Yonkers Cop Promoted to Sergeant after Body Slamming Latino Woman on her Face

White Collective Power/White Supremacy = When a white police officer body slams an unarmed Latino Woman on her face and his fellow officers, the police chief, internal affairs, the union, jurors support, defend, and finance that white police officer’s “right” to brutalize her. [MORE] Would a non-white cop get an acquittal & promotion after assaulting a white woman?

From [HERE] A white city police officer cleared of body-slamming a 44-year-old Latino woman to the ground in an incident captured on videotape nearly six years ago was promoted to sergeant Thursday.

Wayne Simoes (in photo 2nd on left), a 13-year veteran of the Yonkers Police Department, was elevated in a City Hall ceremony by Police Commissioner Charles Gardner and Mayor Michael Spano. His new job pays $96,174.

In March 2007, Irma Marquez’ niece was hit with a bottle at La Fonda restaurant in Yonkers, New York. EMTs were called, and Marquez, a middle-aged home health aide, was also trying to tend to her niece, bending over her while the EMTs were working. An officer took Marquez gently by the arm and backed her up, and she accidentally stepped on the foot of another officer. At that point Yonkers police officer Wayne Simoes approached and shoved Marquez’ shoulder. Marquez apparently objected to being shoved, and Simoes grabbed her by the waist, lifted her in the air and slammed her face-first into the ceramic tile floor before handcuffing her. Police then arrested her. The whole incident was captured on security video.

Marquez was knocked unconscious. She suffered a broken jaw, concussion, two black eyes and facial lacerations and extensive bruising and had to be hospitalized for four days.

White City prosecutors sided with Simoes, deciding to paper the case and charged her with obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct. After a jury acquitted her this May, she filed an $11.3 million dollar lawsuit against the police department. [MORE]

 A jury of eight men and four women deliberated for a little more than five hours and acquitted him of violating her civil rights. "We watched the video and we watched the frame-by-frame," Jhonna Van Dunk, jury foreperson said, "and we could not determine that he intended to hurt her."

Apparently white people can see a video of a cop body slamming a non-white woman to the ground and still give the cop the benefit of the doubt. [MORE]  

Simoes also credited his fellow officers with standing by him after the Marquez incident.

“The guys were behind me,” Simoes said. “The guys know what type of person I am. I am not how I was being depicted in the news. … It was unfair.”

Gang of Roosevelt Island (NYC) Peace Officers Nearly Beat Black Man to Death: Anthony Jones suffered broken teeth, pierced lung in 'unprovoked' attack

In photo, the scene behind 20 River Road, where Anthony Jones says he was was severly beaten by Roosevelt Island peace officers. From [HERE] and [HERE] When law enforcement officials feel they have the authority to savagely assault a man based solely on the suspicion that he might be trespassing, then it's probably time to rein them in.

That's precisely the level of judgment 20-year-old Anthony Jones alleges Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department officers used when they brutally assaulted him without provocation--landing him handcuffed to a hospital bed for five days with fractured ribs, broken teeth and punctured lungs.

On January 13, Jones alleges that while he was waiting outside of a Roosevelt Island apartment complex for a friend, a crew of officers rushed him without explanation and ordered him to the ground.  After Jones complied with their orders to lie down, and “without resisting in any manner he was allegedly maced, punched, kicked, handcuffed, and then taken into detention at RIPSD headquarters.

After many complaints from Jones about his health, he was taken to a Queens hospital where he was handcuffed to a bed and diagnosed with pneumonia. He then had to be transferred to another hospital where it was discovered that he was suffering from internal bleeding from a pierced lung, according to a Daily News report. The incident was caught on numerous cell phone cameras, Vega said.

“He almost died,” she said. He was hospitalized for seven days, and handcuffed for five — and never charged by the NYPD with a crime.

Racism/White Supremacy is based on Deception & Violence: Fresno Cop Continues to Lie in Beating, Stomping, Shooting & Police Dog Attack on Unarmed Latino Man

/

After One Lie should the Jury Believe anything else the Cop tells them? Who is on the jury? [mostly white jury] Earlier in the criminal trial of the accused Fresno cop, a second white police officer testified that he saw no justification for a fellow officer to shoot an unarmed, defenseless suspect with a beanbag shotgun and another officer kick him. "I was in a state of disbelief," Thomas Hardin Jr. told the jury in U.S. District Court. "I was put in a situation that was bad." [MORE]  From [HERE] A Fresno police sergeant testified Friday in his federal criminal trial that he "launch kicked" a piece of evidence -- a beer bottle -- from a handcuffed suspect.

"I felt like an idiot" about doing it, Sgt. Michael Manfredi told the jury in the police-brutality trial in U.S. District Court. Though Manfredi couldn't say how far the bottle traveled, prosecutors say it was discovered more than 100 feet from suspect Rolando Celdon. Another defendant, former Fresno police officer Sean Plymale, already has testified he later picked up the bottle and placed it next to Celdon.

Manfredi's admission poked a hole in the prosecution's theory that Plymale planted the bottle evidence during the arrest of Celdon, who was punched and kicked, bitten by a police dog, shot with a stun gun, and blasted several times with a bean-bag shotgun in October 2005. But Manfredi wasn't able to refute all the prosecution's case, including his admission that his police report had inaccurate information regarding Celdon holding a stick and bottle to fend off a police dog.

An indictment accuses Manfredi and Plymale of concealing the alleged assault on Celdon by former officers Chris Coleman and Paul Van Dalen. All four are charged with falsifying an official report to obstruct justice. If convicted, each faces up to 20 years in prison.

(What the does the evidence show about Non-whites and their interaction with police? You are in a vulnerable position. To the extent that you might be dealing with a white supremacist/racist cop - COMPLY (unless it is clear to you that you are in a life or death situation).

NYPD Cops Handcuff and Detain 7 year old Latino boy, over missing $5: Interrogated for 4 Hours

/

From [HERE] This kid was no killer — but some callous Bronx cops sure treated him like one.

Instead of earning himself a simple trip to the principal’s office, a terrified 7-year-old Latino boy was hauled out of class, handcuffed like a hardened criminal and “interrogated” by police for a grueling 10 hours — all over a playground dispute involving $5, his family is charging.

Officers showed up at PS X114 on Dec. 4 at about 10:20 a.m., and handcuffed and held Wilson in a room there for four hours. They then hauled him off to the 44th Precinct station house for another six hours of interrogation and verbal abuse, according to a $250 million claim against the city and the NYPD.

According to the family's attorney, the responding officers intimidated, verbally assaulted, and threatened the youth for the duration of his stay. The NYPD denies such treatment happened. A department spokeswoman claims the boy was only restrained at the precinct for four hours and forty minutes.

East Haven Officers' Civil Rights Trial to Start in April: White Cops Accused of Targeting Latinos

/

Racism/White Supremacy = Collective Color Inferiority + Numerical Inadequacy. Racism is a strategy for white genetic survival. [MORE]  Following an investigation by the FBI, four East Haven police officers were arrested and accused of abusing Latinos in the working class community of 28,000 people which was nearly predominately white a generation ago. In the middle of the 2000s, the demographics of East Haven began to shift. The Latino population grew from 4 percent of the city’s residents in 2000 to 10 percent in 2010. For some white residents, the changes felt like an existential threat.[MORE] (Gun control for victims but not cops? In photo, East Haven cop David Cari, a racist suspect facing jail time).

Racial Targeting or Racial Targeting is a police officer or a person in authority who uses his authority to harass, intimidate, or arrest non-whites (practice racism). In many cases, racial profiling is condoned by city officials (such as East Haven Mayor Maturo in photo), to send a messsage that non-whites are not welcome to live, work, shop or even drive through ceratin white areas. It is also used as a psychological tool to remind non-whites that they are not due the same rights that whites take for granted in a white supremacy system. [Anon]

Last year the Department of Justice issued a 23-page report which said, "our finding that EHPD officers have engaged in discriminatory policing against Latinos is based on the following: 1) EHPD targets Latinos for discriminatory traffic enforcement and treatment; 2) EHPD abuses its authority by retaliating against individuals who criticize or complain of EHPD's discriminatory conduct; 3) EHPD fails to take corrective action following judicial findings of discriminatory customs and practices within EHPD, including a deliberate indifference to the rights of minorities in East Haven; and 4) EHPD willfully disregards basic and common procedures used by police agencies and mandated by state law to prevent biased policing. Our evidence therefore shows that EHPD singles out Latinos for discriminatory treatment."

The DOJ noted "serious concerns that EHPD engages in unlawful searches and seizures and the use of excessive force. In addition, we are concerned with reports that members of EHPD have created a hostile and intimidating environment for persons who wished to cooperate with our investigation."According to the report, EHPD employs approximately 50 uniformed officers, only one of whom is fluent in Spanish. [MORE]

Mayor Maturo said, "I don't believe these charges at all," and "I stand by these officers."The day of the arrests, when asked by a reporter what he was planning to do for the Latino community that night, he replied, "I might have tacos when I go home."[MORE] In November, the town signed an agreement to reform the police force and avoid a federal lawsuit. Making a reference to slavery, Maturo said with a laugh, before signing the document “as I’m signing this, should you put a whip behind me?” [MORE]

'No Public Confidence': Attorney Claims White Prosecutors Hid Information to Protect White Mt. Pleasant (NY) Officers in Shooting of Black College Student

/

After Fatally Shooting Danroy Henry Police Handcuffed him & Delayed Calling 911 From [HERE] The first police account of an officer's fatal shooting of a Black college student was purposely misleading and served as a faulty "script" for the investigation, a lawyer for the student's parents said Thursday. The lawyer, Michael Sussman, alleged that the district attorney's office was in on the deception. And he said the episode demonstrated the need for a special state prosecutor's office to investigate every time police use deadly force.

"No one in the public should have any confidence" that district attorneys can fairly investigate the police departments they work with, Sussman said at a news conference.

He said his claims were based on "shocking details" in depositions he has taken during a federal lawsuit filed by the parents of Danroy Henry Jr., the victim in the 2010 shooting.

Henry, 20, was shot through the windshield of his car as he drove away from a disturbance outside a bar in Thornwood. Earlier in the day, he had played for Pace University's football team on Homecoming Day. The Pleasantville police officer who shot him, Aaron Hess, said Henry was driving toward him and wouldn't stop. He fired from the hood of Henry's car.

Another officer, Ronald Beckley of the Mount Pleasant police force, also fired. But Beckley said in his deposition that he was firing at the person on the hood, not knowing it was Hess and believing it was "the aggressor."

Both officers testified before a grand jury and were cleared of wrongdoing. Hess is among those being sued by the Henrys.

Sussman alleged Thursday that Beckley's depiction of Hess as the aggressor was known within hours to Mount Pleasant police Chief Louis Alagno, the chief investigator, and to the district attorney's office.

Alagno's press release the next day, however, depicted Beckley as shooting at the car, not at the officer on the hood. That was "a knowingly false statement by a person who is still a police chief," Sussman said. He suggested it should have disqualified Alagno from running the investigation.

Video Shows White San Francisco Police Officers Slamming Unarmed Black Man's Face into Gutter

From [HERE] The following footage, captured by YouTube user Griz415, shows two cops on motorbikes arresting an unarmed Black man at 24th and Mission in SF on Thursday.

Nelly Fuller: When Racists are not violating their victms [non-white people] through the use of deceit, they violate them through direct physical abuse. It is incorrect to expect a Racist to be humane. It is correct to expect them to be deceitful and/or violent - either directly or indirectly. It is correct to expect them to be this way all the time.

NYPD Allowed to Resume 'Stop and Frisk' Policy. White Collective Power = White Judge and White Prosecutors Support, Defend and Finance NYPD's "right" to Practice White Supremacy

/

4th Amendment Not Real for Non-Whites. The 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, although only one sentence long, protects people against unjustified detentions by the government. It reads: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

In order for the police to stop you the Supreme Court has ruled that police must have reasonable articulable suspicion that there is criminal activity afoot and the person detained is involved in the activity. In order to frisk you the Supreme Court has ruled that the police must have independent reasonable articulable suspicion that the person is armed and dangerous before they may touch you (a cursory patdown for weapons). Police may not act on on the basis of an inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or a hunch - there must be some specific articulable facts along with reasonable inferences from those facts to justify the intrusion.

Clearly these rules are only intended for white people. Non-whites are stopped and then frisked because they are Non-white. This does not happen to white folks. It happens to all non-white people regardless of income, education, political affiliation or skin color. As stated by the Judge in the first opinion 'the NYPD has been stopping and questioning Blacks & Latinos first and then developing reasonable suspicion later.  The maintenance of white supremacy requires this result  - as Judge Shira Scheindlin's, a racist suspect reveals in her decision below. 

From [HERE] A white judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of New York [official website] on Tuesday lifted an order [opinion, PDF] that previously required the New York Police Department (NYPD) [official website] to stop using a "stop-and-frisk" practice outside of apartment buildings in the Bronx. Though she previously ruled the practice unconstitutional, Judge Shira Scheindlin ultimately agreed with city lawyers that complying with the former order would place an undue burden on the NYPD to train thousands of officers and their supervisors, and that "it may be difficult to say where, precisely, to draw the line between constitutional and unconstitutional police encounters." The "stop-and-frisk" policy developed as part of the city's Trespass Affidavit Program (TAP) [Manhattan DA backgrounder], which allows property managers in the program to ask officers to patrol their buildings and arrest trespassers as a means of combating drug dealing in the public areas of such buildings.

Only two weeks ago, Judge Scheindlin declared the NYPD's "stop-and-frisk" policy unconstitutional [JURIST report] on grounds that it violates the protection against unreasonable search and seizures of the Fourth Amendment [text; Cornell LII backgrounder]. There, she reasoned that officers were not first meeting their requirement of developing a reasonable suspicion to stop and frisk supposed trespassers.

FBI Report: There were More Arrests for Drug Possession than Violent Crime in 2011 (the War on Drugs is a War on Black Males)

/

From [HERE] Public support for liberalizing marijuana laws is at an all-time high, and as of the November election, 18 states have legalized the drug, either for medical or recreational purposes. Law enforcement, however, seems unmoved by the legalization movement. According to a new FBI report, police arrested more people for marijuana possession than for violent crime in 2011.

In 2011, marijuana possession arrests totaled 663,032 — more than arrests for all violent crimes combined. Possession arrests have nearly doubled since 1980, according to an FBI report, while teen marijuana use recently reached a 30-year high. President Obama and his Attorney General, Eric Holder, have stressed on numerous occasions that the federal government would not waste resources on prosecuting marijuana users who comply with their state laws. Yet Obama’s Justice Department continue to crack down on medical marijuana distributors at a rate far higher than his predecessors.

Drug possession convictions comprise almost half of the nation’s exploding prison population. These arrests are dramatically skewed against people of color; 31 percent of those arrested for marijuana possession are black, even though African Americans make up just 14 percent of marijuana users.

Police Car as Coffin. Do Not Expect Justice in Inquest of Milwaukee Officers who Ignored Dying Black Man - In 25 yrs. No Criminal Charges Ever Recommended against Cops

Expect White Supremacy. "Special" prosecutor considers felony charges against white Officers who Crushed Derek Williams and then Watched him Die in their cruiser - on Video. He suffocated to death while handcuffed, naked from a strip search, begging for their help for 15 minutes from the time of his arrest as he went limp and then after officers dragged him and placed him in their cruiser. His death is captured on video which was released in September 2012. (graphic video above, no sound for first minute). [MORE]  

From [HERE] and [HERE] A special prosecutor is considering felony charges in connection with the death of a Black man while in Milwaukee police custody of white officers. That's according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/10aEx4A ), which obtained documents filed Friday in Milwaukee courts.

The special prosecutor, John Franke, (in photo - a former Milwaukee County Circuit Judge) plans to ask jurors to consider charges of first- and second-degree reckless homicide and failure to render aid by law enforcement after he presents five days' worth of witnesses during an inquest into Williams' death, scheduled to begin Feb. 11. 

Those witnesses will include independent medical experts who will likely discuss a cracked bone in Williams' neck and sickle cell crisis, a controversial condition Assistant Medical Examiner Christopher Poulos blamed for Williams' death. But in more than 25 years, no Milwaukee County inquest jury has recommended criminal charges against a police officer involved in a fatal shooting or in-custody death, a Journal Sentinel investigation found.
