Cops Insist: No Way White Sheboygan Officer Assaulted Black Man

/

According to Anon, "a Non-white person cannot be the victim in a white supremacy system. The Black individual is always at fault regardless of who initiated the conflict." This is the same logic used to justify/ignore the genocide of non-whites by whites in places like Iraq and Vietnam. [MORE] In photo, sign refers to "Minorities." Who would that be? 

From [HERE] A 37-year-old Black man has accused a white Sheboygan police officer of using excessive force, alleging that officer punched him in the back of the head before arresting him Tuesday night. Sheboygan Police Department officials confirmed Thursday that they’d received a formal complaint from the man, Angelo Merritt, earlier in the day.

Capt. Steve Cobb said that a preliminary review of the alleged incident, which occurred at 1320 Maryland Ave., indicated “that the level of force used by the officers to overcome the resistance of the person arrested was appropriate, and within training and department policy.”

Merritt said he’d gotten into a shouting match with his upstairs neighbor after confronting the neighbor about his barking dog. Merritt, who’s African American, claims the white neighbor pulled out a knife at one point and was making racist comments toward him. A police officer arrived and began questioning both parties about what was going on. At some point the officer allegedly approached Merritt, who claims he’d turned away from the officer when he was struck.

“I went to slip on my shoes, he grabbed me by the arm and and punched me in the head,” Merritt said. “How is that justified? Something isn’t sitting right with me.”

Merritt showed a Sheboygan Press editor a photograph of his head, which was swollen, he said, because of the blow he received from the officer. He also showed an emergency room report from Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center, which listed him as having suffered a “head injury.”

Merritt said the incident was witnessed by his wife, kids and a neighbor living across the street.  Merritt was arrested for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstruction.

White Brooklyn Prosecutor Confused about what to do after White Cops Intentionally Run Over Black Man

/

From [HERE] The NYPD still claims a 27-year-old Black man was killed after running into a stopped police cruiser last year, a story that contradicts some eyewitness accounts. The official accident report states the police car was stopped on a footpath outside the Bayview Houses last April when Robinson “did run into” the vehicle, causing him to fall backward and strike his head.

Cops were in pursuit because Robinson, 27, had stolen paving stones from the project’s grounds. But multiple witnesses came forward, saying Robinson was deliberately mowed down by the cops.

The police account from a week after the incident is strikingly different. According to The Times, an official police report at the time said the cop car hit Robinson, and not the other way around.

"They hit him," said 26-year-old Franchette Mowbray, who says she watched the scene unfold from her 8th floor apartment window. "He flew up and he came down. They backed the car up, and they told him to get up. People were yelling out their windows screaming at the cops, ‘We saw what you did.’"

Robinson's friends also told The Times he had permission to take the stones.

And according to DNAinfo: Both police and fire officials initially described Robinson’s injuries as non-life threatening, but on the day of the incident, witnesses told DNAinfo that police at the scene pulled Robinson from under the car, yelling “Wake up! Wake up!” before bouncing him off the hood of the car.

Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes (white man in photo) has yet to put the case before a grandy jury, and has hired an accident reconstruction specialist, with no work connections to the NYPD, to investigate. That investigation, Hynes' office tells the Daily News, is still ongoing.

"Mistaken" for a Burglar Inside his own Home: White Judge says No Racism in Police Beating of Unarmed, Diabetic Black Man

/

Two white Hartford officers are accused of criminal wrongdoing after they pepper-sprayed, clubbed and handcuffed an unarmed Black man they found naked and disoriented inside his own home in May 2010. It wasn’t until after Burwell had been handcuffed and dragged outside naked except for a blanket that police confirmed he owned the home and released him.

Burwell is a Dartmouth College graduate and former track athlete at the school. He owns a gym in Lebanon, where his clients over the years have included hundreds of high school and college students. [MORE] 

From [HERE] A white federal judge has dismissed a Black man’s claims that he was subjected to excessive force by Hartford police officers because he was black, saying there was insufficient evidence to support his contention that officers were motivated by racial bias.

While much of Wayne Burwell’s lawsuit against Hartford police remains active, Judge Christina Reiss (in photo) recently threw out his most incendiary allegations — that he had been discriminated against because of his “race and color.”

More than two years after police were called to his townhouse on an erroneous report of a possible burglary, Wayne Burwell accused officers of a slew of civil rights violations when they brandished firearms and struck him with a baton after finding him naked, unresponsive and sitting on his toilet while in a comatose state.

“When police entered that bathroom, if they saw a white guy sitting there comatose, they would have assumed a medical emergency,” said Orford attorney Ed Van Dorn, whose firm represents Burwell. “But because they saw a black guy sitting there, they assumed burglar and criminal activity.”

The judge said that Burwell did not provide enough evidence that moved his claims “across the line from conceivable to plausible” — the claim was based on the assertion that police officers knew Burwell was black before deciding to handcuff him. (Smoking gun evidence such as racial slurs, white kkk hoods and pronouncements by the police such as, "I'm assaulting you because you are Black" is what the court was looking for. The court's fake search for tangible evidence from the mind of a bigoted decision maker ignores white supremacy as a system of oppression- is done only for show and will rarely result in justice for the victims of white supremacy.This is the refinement of white supremacy.

Here, white collective power is on display: white cops beat an unarmed Black man & accuse him of robbing his own house and his fellow white officers, the police chief, the judge and the prosecutor (in photo, Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell who cleared the officers of criminal wrongdoing in December 2012) support, defend, and finance the white officers “right” to beat him. [MORE])

In Stop-and-Frisk Trial, Reliance on Memory Hinders Efforts to Get to Truth

/

NYTimes

The two men appeared in quick succession, a police lineup turned on its head. The men were police officers, ordered to a courtroom on Monday so a witness could identify them as the officers who had stopped and frisked him.

The unusual scene underscored an emerging theme in the stop-and-frisk trial under way in Federal District Court in Manhattan: for those stopped and frisked, the experience is an ordeal they will long remember. But for the officers, it can be a nonevent, as their inability to recall these encounters shows.

Over the last month, a number of officers called to the stand have struggled to remember the precise details of street encounters that happened as long as five years ago. Indeed, forgetfulness has taunted the trial at nearly every turn, frustrating efforts to determine what really happened during many of the police stops that are the foundation of a case examining the constitutionality of the Police Department’s tactics.

On Monday, forgetfulness itself was at issue. Judge Shira A. Scheindlin ordered the two officers, Sgt. James Mahoney and Detective Scott Giacona, back to court. The officers were accused of stopping a witness, Leroy Downs, on Staten Island in 2008, but they had previously claimed under oath that they had no recollection of stopping him.

On Friday, the judge raised the possibility of a perjury prosecution stemming from the Downs stop. “Somebody may not be testifying completely accurately under oath, and I’m troubled,” she said.

Andrew Quinn, the lawyer for Sergeant Mahoney, responded that ordering the officers into the courtroom for the purposes of being identified by Mr. Downs would be “blatantly suggestive” that they were in fact the ones who stopped him. “If the police tried to do this, Judge,” Mr. Quinn added, but the judge interrupted, saying that police eyewitness identification procedures did not apply to her.

“I’m not bound to any rules of lineup, show-ups, or anything else,” Judge Scheindlin said, noting this was not a criminal trial. “I want the man to see these two people up or down, yes or no. That’s the end of it.”

So on Monday, the officers and Mr. Downs took the stand in quick succession: Sergeant Mahoney and Detective Giacona said they did not recognize Mr. Downs.

Mr. Downs, however, had no such difficulty, recalling the officers as the men who had stopped him on Staten Island.

Mr. Quinn told reporters there was no reason for officers to recall each stop from years ago. “No more than you would remember what you ate for breakfast five years ago,” he said.

At times, officers have tripped over crucial details, and lawyers for the city have tried to suggest that time, rather than credibility, was at issue. One officer, Edward Arias, testified that he had stopped a man partly on the basis of the coat he was wearing: it fit the description of a suspect wanted in an unsolved robbery pattern. “I remember distinctly that the pattern mentioned a beige, yellowish, beige coat,” he testified.

But the officer was confronted with a statement he gave several years ago in which he said he had been searching for a suspect wearing a blue coat, not a yellowish one.

At times, the stops have been hazy to even Judge Scheindlin, hearing the case for more than a month now. While listening to an officer describe a stop, the judge asked the lawyers if the court had already heard testimony from the man who had been stopped.

Yes, the judge was told, as lawyers gave details of his testimony: one stop occurred outside a Chinese restaurant, another on the subway platform. “I don’t remember too much about it,” the judge said. “It was a whole week ago.”

Four (out of 21) White Omaha Cops Fired after Video Taped Attack on Black Family

/

From [HERE] As his office continues to investigate possible criminal charges against police involved in a “caught-on-tape” case involving accusations of police brutality, Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine says the “public’s trust has been betrayed.”

Four white officers have been fired after one officer threw a man to the ground and hit him several times as nearly a dozen other officers stormed a home near 33rd and Seward on March 21. Kleine's office will look into the actions that can be seen on the videotape, but it will also examine what happened inside the house.

"The information we've been privy to is there was evidence mishandled in that residence by Omaha police. We will not only look at what happened outside but inside the residence." The Nebraska State Patrol and the FBI are assisting with Kleine's investigation. "I want to assure the public that this conduct will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law." [MORE] The names of the 21 cops involved have not been released to the public.

The video shows Octavious Johnson being taken down, handcuffed and apparently punched several times by a white officer. Police say Octavious Johnson became combative after his car screeched to a halt in front of officers who were investigating cars with expired license plates that were parked on the street. But the video speaks for itself. As police are arresting him he is compliant. As he places his hands on the back of the police cruiser an officer suddenly bodyslams him to the ground.

Officers can be heard on the video yelling at Juaquez Johnson, who was on the sidewalk videotaping the incident. More than 20 officers and at least 12-15 police cruisers descend upon the street - "Matrix" style, blocking off the street for the minor offense. At least 15 officers are seen on video chasing Juaquez Johnson into his house.

In the above video white Police Chief Todd Schmaderer asks and then answers his own questions at Press Conference 4-5-13. He explains, 'don't believe what you see!' This is all about the appearance of justice = white supremacy is practiced through deception and/or violence. Do not expect justice in this case - expect racism.

Witnesses say a Gang of Atlanta Cops Repeatedly Beat Black Man with Metal Batons - on video

/

From [HERE] and [HERE] A cell phone video of Atlanta police striking a Black man with night sticks outraged one Atlanta community. The video of the incident shows APD officers striking a Black man multiple times with a metal batons, pepper spray and kicking him as he lay on the ground. A group of powerless neighbors witnessesd the entire event. 

Neighbors were so angered by what they saw that the following day some threw bricks and hammers at police cars that were responding to a protest at the apartment complex. Residents in the neighborhood feel like they are unnecessarily and excessively targeted by police patrols and frisking, said Marlon Kautz, a volunteer with CopWatch of East Atlanta, which works with residents to prevent police brutality.

Kautz said he arrived at the apartment complex Monday evening and saw police shoving and beating two people. He didn’t see anyone throw anything at police Tuesday but said he didn’t doubt the negative reaction, he said. “It wouldn’t surprise me because I know the public here is completely outraged by what they see as a continuing pattern of police harassment and violence in this neighborhood. They don’t feel like they have any recourse,” he said. [MORE]

White Brooklyn Park Cop who Piledrived Handcuffed Black Man Faces $500K Excessive Force Lawsuit

/

From [HERE] A white Brooklyn Park police officer caught on tape in a violent confrontation with a handcuffed DWI suspect in a department holding area denies he used excessive force during the incident, which left Amos Togbeson, Jr., a Black man, lying in a pool of blood, according to a filing Thursday in court. Togbeson needed 13 stitches and had a concussion. He now has permanent head injuries. 

In the written answer, Wrobel's attorney says that the officer "denies he utilized excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment..." Togbeson had been arrested by Brooklyn Park police in April 2012 on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol (months later, he would enter a guilty plea).

Togbeson claims he repeatedly asked Ofc. Wrobel if he could go to the bathroom. Ofc. Wrobel refused to allow him to do so.  After Togbeson urinated on himself the officer was trying to mop it up and asked him to stand in the corner. On a department recorded videotape from the holding room, Wrobel clearly orders  a handcuffed Togbeson to stand in a corner and not move. Togbeson does initially move into the corner, but soon staggers a little bit. When Wrobel tries to restrain him, Togbeson begins screaming (it is not clear if the officer slammed his head against the wall).

Warning a female officer in the room to "watch out, watch out," Wrobel then piledrives the black man head first in the floor. He was unable to break his fall or defend himself as his hands were handcuffed behind his back. In his official report, Wrobel claims he was warning the detention officer to back up "so that she did not get urine on her," and that he did not intend to use force on Togbeson to get him on the ground. Instead, Wrobel wrote, "my boots began slipping," on the urine and the two of them "ended up on the ground."

Attorney Jeff Storms, who represents Togbeson, accuses the officer of lying in the official statement.

New Civil Trial for Black Man Beaten by White Suffolk County deputy sheriff

/

From [HERE] A federal judge has thrown out a jury verdict that awarded $65,000 to a Black man who said he was brutally beaten by a Suffolk County deputy sheriff over his request to wear socks. 

U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert in federal court in Central Islip declared a mistrial Thursday in the civil case of Perrim Anderson, 38, saying "inconsistencies and juror confusion" necessitated a new trial. Anderson had sought millions of dollars in damages that he said occurred after he asked to wear socks while he was detained on a harassment warrant involving a former girlfriend, records show.

The jury had been asked to render a verdict twice in March after a nine-day trial, but both times their reasoning was ambiguous or did not follow her instructions, the judge said.

In her decision, Seybert said the jury was asked twice to issue a verdict as to whether Deputy Sheriff Vincent Aparicio used excessive force against Anderson, a violation of federal law, and beat him, a violation of state law. Jurors were initially unclear about whether the $65,000 award was for a violation of state or federal law, she said.

When asked to clarify their reasoning, Seybert noted that if the jurors found that excessive force had been used, a violation of federal law, that decision automatically meant the state law against battery had been violated.

However, Seybert said the jurors' second verdict was that the federal law had been violated, but not state law. This meant jurors ruled contrary to her instructions, she said.

White Police Officer accused of having Trayvon Martin targets - to practice shooting Black People

/

From [HERE] A white police officer accused of bringing targets resembling Trayvon Martin to a gun range has been fired, according to several reports.

Port Canaveral, Fla. Interim Chief Executive Officer John Walsh told WFTV on Saturday that Sgt. Ron King was leading a target practice with two other officers and a civilian when he pulled out the targets April 4. Walsh says King asked the group if they wanted to use the targets, and they said no.

"It is absolutely reprehensible that a high-ranking member of the Port Canaveral Police, sworn to protect and serve Floridians, would use the image of a dead child as target practice," said Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Trayvon Martin's parents. "Such a deliberate and depraved indifference to this grieving family is unacceptable. The citizens of Port Canaveral deserve better."

(as if this only about the Martin's grief. White Supremacy is carried out through violence and/or deception, 24/7 worldwide. Trayvon is dead. This white cop was preparing himself for his future encounters with non-white people. In their interactions and relations with non-white people, racists/white supremacists function as psychopaths.)

You are 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist

Ca.Anonymous

Perhaps, but Anon says that white supremacist/police are terrorists themselves who use force and violence to terrorize non-white people. White supremacy is a terroristic power system of domination and control over non-whites by whites.

Also the figure above combines whites and non-whites together. So they do not reflect the reality that police kill non-whites in substantially disproportionate numbers.

Murder Trial Delayed: White Del City Police Captain Shot Black Teen in the Back - "Unarmed, Not Posing a Threat"

/

From [HERE] The manslaughter trial of a white Del City police captain accused in the shooting death of a black teenager has been postponed.

Randy Harrison was scheduled for trial Monday for the March 14, 2012, death of 18-year-old Dane Scott Jr. On Thursday, Oklahoma County District Judge Donald Deason granted a defense motion to postpone Harrison's trial until Nov. 18.

According to a police affidavit filed in the case, "Scott was unarmed and was not posing a threat of death of great bodily harm to the officers or any other person."

In the affidavit, Del City police Capt. Jody Suit said Harrison took a gun away from Scott during a struggle before Scott ran off, the affidavit shows. Officer Steve Robinson, one of the officers at the scene, testified that he didn't see anything in Scott's hands after the teen scuffled with Harrison. Robinson said he fired his stun gun at Scott. "He didn't make a move or turn toward me," Robinson said.

A utility worker also testified that he saw a police officer wrestle the gun away from Scott and saw Scott run before he was shot by the officer. As Scott ran away, Harrison fired three times and missed, but a fourth shot struck Scott in the back according to court documents. Witnesses to the shooting claim Scott Jr. was running away from police officers with his hands in the air when police fired at the teen. A clerk at a nearby convenience store reports hearing “about 4, 5, 6” shots. The clerk states, “It was like being on a firing range.” [MORE] and [MORE]

“The boy didn’t have no gun. He had his hands, like this, in the air,” one witness said. [MORE]

White Winter Park Overseer (officer) resigns, accused of racist remarks about killing Black children during Trayvon Martin meeting

/

From [HERE] A white Winter Park police officer resigned Thursday after derogatory remarks colleagues said he made about African-Americans prompted an internal investigation. Lt. Ron Johnson's notice of retirement was one sentence long and made no mention of a derogatory remark his colleagues said he made about African-Americans, during a shift meeting about the anniversary of Trayvon Martin's death.

The investigation began with a complaint from a union leader and officer who said that during discussion about potential protests surrounding Martin's death anniversary, Johnson said, "This is why they should be drowned at birth."

The complaint said the comment was "clearly understood to be racially derogatory." Officials said it happened in the presence of at least one African-American officer who said she was offended, but was not the person who made the complaint.

White Springfield Cops Assault and Use Taser on Black Woman, 8 Months Pregnant - on video

/

(In their relations with non-white people, white supremacists function as psychopaths. The psychopath is an individual who is constantly in conflict with other persons or groups.  He is unable to experience guilt, is completely selfish and callous, and has a total disregard for the rights of others. [MORE]) From [HERE] An unarmed Black woman 8 months pregnant was tased by Springfield police after she reported a car accident in the parking lot of Best Buy on Saturday. The woman in question is 29-year-old Lucinda White. Her boyfriend, 31-year-old Frederic Thomas was also tased and taken to jail for assaulting a police officer. Thomas and White were released from the Sangamon County Jail on Sunday evening.

Springfield police claim the couple's behavior warranted officer restraint. "She was, her and her boyfriend were both actively fighting with an officer and they used the force that was necessary to affect the arrest," said D.C. Cliff Buscher with the Springfield Police Department.

The incident unfolded in front of a reporter, Paul Newton, from ABC NewsChannel 20. "They told her get down on the ground face down, and she's trying to plead with them 'I can't get on the ground, I'm pregnant. I can't do that,' and they told her once again. And she, she's just trying to plead with them and then right away they hit her with the taser," said Newton.

NOPD Assures Public - 'Racial Targeting by Police definitely, definitely not happening'

From [HERE] The New Orleans Police Department continues to address concerns about racial profiling, as it works to satisfy terms of a federal consent decree. New Orleans Police Chief Ronal Serpas, in photo below, today on WWL said allegations of racial profiling may be the toughest to handle. "Racial profiling is one of the most important issues of our day.  I would never say that I think it doesn't exist," the chief told WWL's Garland Robinette.

Serpas says cops aren't trained to view potential suspects along racial lines.  Raymond Burkart, lawyer for the Police Association of New Orleans, says better record keeping could help the department rebut those claims when raised by the public. "We've got to do a better job making sure that we have accurate data to insure that racial profiling doesn't exist," Burkart said.

Chief said it's not racial profiling to go look for specific suspects that match the descriptions given by crime victims.  He said in seven out of ten crimes not involving drugs or guns, the victims are African-American, "and nine out of ten times, they described their perpetrator as an African-American male."

Burkart says that's the kind of thing the department needs to keep better records on: "I do know from speaking to officers that they're not looking for specific people of specific races just to stop people for no reason," he said.  "That's not the case at all."

"Police State" in Hill County, TX. White Sheriffs Detained Latino Men for 39 days in Jail Without Charge, Probable Cause

/

From [HERE] and [HERE] Two Latino men are suing a Texas police department they say locked them in jail for 39 days “with no charges, no hearing, and no probable cause” after a March 2011 traffic stop. They also claim cops seized $14,000 in cash they had saved to buy a car.

Roberto Moreno-Gutierrez and Jaime Moreno-Gutierrez are suing Hill County, the Hill County Sheriff’s Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety in federal court. Their complaint states that the two men were en route from their home in Killeen, Texas to a car dealership in Plano, Texas to purchase a used hybrid electric car, AlterNet reports.

At that point they were pulled over and detained by Texas State Trooper Carl. R. Clary, who was driving with a K-9 unit. Troop Clary was not, however, identified as a party to the complaint that has been filed since

“The trooper provided no traffic violation or reason for the stop to the plaintiffs,” the complaint states. “The trooper requested driver licenses from both plaintiffs, which he then took to his patrol unit. Upon returning, he requested to search the vehicle. Consent was given, and he then brought out his dog. After a search, the dog was put in its kennel. No drugs or drug paraphernalia were found in the vehicle or on the plaintiffs."

“The officer used a translator apparatus to translate his questions but did not translate the Spanish responses into English,” the suit continues. “He inquired as to the money and the plaintiffs explained where it came from and why they had legal possession."

“There was simply no indication of wrongdoing. Nevertheless, Trooper Clary seized the money and waited for backup. After 20 minutes, the plaintiffs were taken to another squad car and were told they were going to be interviewed where it was quiet. Even though there was no sign from the K-9 and, therefore, no probable cause, the arriving officers tore apart the vehicle for money or drugs that did not exist.”

Williams case should have gone to a jury- White Milwaukee Cops Ignored Handcuffed Black who Suffocated to Death - on Video

/

"Sir I Can't Breathe." graphic video. no sound for first minute. From [HERE] The family of Derek Williams is still looking for justice after a decision last week by special prosecutor John Franke, a white man, not to charge Milwaukee police officers in Williams' death. The young man died in the back of a squad car in July 2011 while pleading for assistance with a breathing problem. Franke wrote Friday to District Attorney John Chisholm that "there is no reasonable likelihood of obtaining a conviction in this case."

But that flies in the face of the opinion of an inquest jury, which unanimously recommended that three officers be charged with failure to render aid by law enforcement, a misdemeanor. We think Franke should have taken what he had to court.

The squad car video that shows Williams gasping for air and begging for help is troubling. Officers are required to "continually monitor and remain cognizant of the condition of a person in custody, especially when he/she is in restraints," according to MPD's Standard Operating Procedures. We think the video plainly shows that they didn't do that.

The officers involved earlier were cleared by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm and their own department. And the medical examiner's office originally ruled that Williams died of natural causes. But after the Journal Sentinel brought new evidence to the attention of that office, including the video, the ruling was changed. Now, the medical examiner's office believes Williams' death was a homicide.

(genocide watch) NYPD Boss said stop-and-frisk designed to 'instill fear' in Non-Whites - Senator's testimony

/

If You Attempt to Understand Stop & Frisk without understanding White Supremacy you will only be Confused. White Supremacy/Racism is carried out through indirect or direct violence and/or deception. Similar to the increasingly meaningless 4th Amendment rights of non-whites in the U.S., during Nazi Germany, various resident/movement regulations and identification measures were undertaken by the Government as preconditions to genocide.

As the number of Jews or more specifically, Semites (non-white people) rose in Nazi Germany, Jews felt the effects of many decrees and regulations that restricted all aspects of their public and private lives. Identification measures requiring Semites to wear a yellow star for instance enabled the police to pick up any Jew, anywhere, anytime. In the U.S. no such star is necessary - it is your skin color that identifies you as a target.  

From [HERE] A New York State Senator testified in federal court Monday that New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly (racist suspect in photo below) explained the city’s controversial stop-and-frisk program as a means of instilling fear in young African American and Hispanic men.

Twenty-two year NYPD veteran and State Senator Eric Adams told the court that in 2010 he traveled to Albany to voice his support to a bill that would forbid the NYPD from keeping a database of information pulled from stop-and-frisks that did not lead to an arrest. That bill would ultimately pass, but Adams testified on Monday that, upon telling Kelly the program disproportionately targeted young black and Latino men, the commissioner was far from concerned.

The new testimony follows evidence from more than one New York cop indicating that the department has set, officially or unofficially, quotas for stop-and-frisks. There has also been recent testimony from those officers that the program specifically targets people of color.

Kelly “stated that he targeted and focused on that group because he wanted to instill fear in them that every time they left their homes they could be targeted by police,” Adams said.

He said Kelly justified his reasoning by asking, “How else would we get rid of guns?”

“I was amazed,” Adams said in court. “I told him that was illegal.”

Snitching is the Crime - a deception tool of the white supremacy system

/

Listen to BBC audio [HERE] Informants or ‘snitches’ have always been part of the US criminal justice system. But there’s been an explosion in the number of informants over the last few decades. That’s because snitching on others is often the only way for defendants to escape tough minimum sentences introduced for drug crimes in the 1980s.

Some law enforcement agencies use informants in as many as 90% of drug cases. But there are surprisingly few regulations about how police recruit and use snitches. Critics say this can lead to unfair convictions and in some cases is putting informants themselves at risk. [MORE]

A major goal of the white supremacy system is the greater confinement of large numbers of non-white people. According to Neely Fuller, "the Racists make certain that non-white people exist under conditions that will most likely cause them to do things that will give the Racists an "excuse" to put them in Greater Confinement. 

White supremacy is carried out through deception. To snitch is to willfully volunteer information about a person with the specific intention of gaining direct or indirect personal favors and or praise from Racists. [theCode]

From [HERE] Eight police officers have been charged with murder for the death of a taxi driver dragged by a police van. The video, showing police officers strap Mido Macia to their vehicle then drive away, has become a symbol of police brutality in South Africa.

Officers seemed unconcerned about the crowd that watched in horror as Mr Macia was dragged off in Daveyton, near ­Johannesburg.Some shouted that they were filming and one yelled: “What’s he done?”

Two cops knocked him off his feet as the van drove away to stop him trying to run behind it. He had been arrested because his cab was allegedly obstructing traffic and died in a cell two hours after the incident on Tuesday.

A postmortem found Mr Macia, 27, from Mozambique, died of head injuries and internal bleeding. Eight policemen from Daveyton have today been charged with murder.

In a statement, South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma said that the “visuals of the incident are horrific, disturbing and unacceptable.” “No human being should be treated in that manner,” he added. South Africa's police chief Gen Riah Phiyega said she shared "the extreme shock and outrage" over the video evidence of abuse of Macia by police officers and said his rights were "violated in the most extreme form."

Today his friends and relatives of gathered around a simple wooden table in the poor township of Daveyton to mourn his death.

Family claims Officers Beat Black Man to Death in Walker County Jail, Denied Medical Help for Six Days

From [HERE] A Birmingham family claims suspicious circumstances, a flawed autopsy, and unexplained injuries in the death of their 21 year old son at the Walker County Jail. CBS42 News has been investigating their claims for over a month. This week we learned the FBI is opening an investigation into the October 2009 death of Vincent Rowell. Their findings will be turned over to the Justice Department.

"To know he was tortured like that. I can't imagine what he endured, the stuff they did to him," says Linda Rowell of Birmingham.
