Racism Instead of Evidence: White Prosecutors and NYPD Forced Black Woman to Identify & Make Up Testimony Against Black Man (25 yrs to life)

From [HERE] For the second time in nearly 20 years, Joan Purser-Gennace took the witness stand in a Queens courtroom, but this time her testimony was starkly different: Much of what she testified to two decades ago — words that helped convict a Black man of a murder — was a lie, she said, spoon-fed to her by police detectives.

“Everything, it was provided to me from the police — the lies,” she said on Monday in State Supreme Court in Kew Gardens, at a hearing on behalf of Robert Jones, who is serving 25 years to life after he was convicted of the 1994 murder of Antoine Stone, a street preacher, in Far Rockaway, Queens.

Ms. Purser-Gennace said that although she told the police she could not properly identify the man, they proceeded to coach her with pictures, telling her whom to pick out of a lineup, and mapping out a script for her day in court.

“They said, ‘This is how I want you to say it,’ and it was a lie,” Ms. Purser-Gennace testified. In the audience, several of Mr. Jones’s family members burst into tears. [MORE]

Robert Jones was convicted of the shooting death of a Black street preacher in Queens, New York, two decades ago, but he is hopeful that Monday’s recantation from the star witness, who said she was forced to identify him, will help prove his innocence. He is serving 25 years to life. 

The New York Times reported that Joan Purser-Gennace said police detectives coerced her to identify Jones even though she couldn’t, going as far to visit her home nearly 10 times to persuade and coach her. 

The police and prosecutors responsible for Jones’ conviction came into question after Jones’ legal team filed a motion to vacate the verdict based on ineffective counsel, the recantation of two witnesses and the possibility that exculpatory information was not given to defense lawyers. A second witness who testified to seeing a man flee the scene on a bike matching Jones’ bike is expected to recant that testimony in the coming days.

Thus far, Candlelight Vigils and Singing Songs have not led to justice for non-white people. Durham Police say Handcuffed Latino Teen shot himself in Police Car

Vigil for Jesus Turns Violent. The 'practices of complaining, moaning, crying, groaning, begging, protesting, marches/parades, clapping hands and singing "We shall Overcome" do not constructively solve any of the problems [like police bruatlity] caused by white supremacy/racism' [more 

From [HERE] A vigil meant to commemorate the memory of a teenager who was fatally shot in the head while in police custody last month turned to panic Thursday night when police in full riot gear deployed tear gas to disperse the mostly peaceful crowd.

Jesus Huerta, 17, died of a gunshot wound to the head on November 19 in Durham, North Carolina. The police department has said that Huerta shot himself, an assertion that has become a subject of outrage in the community because Huerta was at the time handcuffed in the backseat of a patrol car when he was shot. The vehicle was parked behind a police building at the time of his death.

A police report filled out by Officer Samuel Duncan noted that Huerta had been searched at the time of his arrest, and no gun was found on him. Huerta is the third non-wihte man to be killed in shootings involving city police within the past four months.

Police Chief Jose Lopez attempted to calm nerves during a press conference last week but only seemed to do the opposite when he said police were trying to determine if Huerta shot himself intentionally or by accident.

I know that it is hard for people not in law enforcement to understand how someone could be capable of shooting themselves while handcuffed behind the back,” he said. “While incidents like this are not common, they unfortunately have happened in other jurisdictions in the past.”

Psychopathic White Wilmington Cops Throw a Dog into Black Man's Lap after Police Chase - had his hands up

By and large, in their relations with non-white people, white people function as psychopaths. 'Psychopaths simply ignore the concept of right and wrong. By ignoring this trait in White people (the lack of ethical and moral development) Blacks have made and are still making a tragic mistake in basing the worldwide Black liberation movement on moral suasion. It is pathological for Blacks to keep attempting to use moral suasion on a people who have no morality where race is the variable.' [MORE]

From [HERE] and [HERE] The FBI is looking into a police assault involving a dog let loose on a surrendering Black man in Wilmington. Wilmington police offcers (all white) threw a police dog into a black man's car window.

FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch confirmed the investigation, but would not provide details, The StarNews of Wilmington reported. A New Hanover County grand jury this week concluded there was no wrong-doing by Wilmington Officer Stafford Brister.

After a series of maneuvers by cops, the suspect's car spins out of control and crashes. That's when a newly released dash cam video shows a North Carolina officer shoving his police dog through the window. A video of a police chase shows Brister rushing up to a suspect's car after it had been stopped following a 13-minute chase. The video shows Brister pushing his dog into the open window and the dog biting Johnnie Lamont Williams. Williams has his hands up the air. He was unarmed. 

The chase had begun when police said Williams drove through a driving while impaired checkpoint Nov. 1, nearly striking an officer. Williams led police on a chase through the city, side-swiping one police car and ramming another. Williams was taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center with a bite wound to his shoulder. Williams also had scratches on his face.

Brister's attorney said the officer was protecting himself and other officers against the possibility that Williams would try to move his vehicle again. Wilmington Police Chief Ralph Evangelous says the department is conducting an internal investigation of the dog biting. Evangelous hopes to have the investigation wrapped up next week.

Lawsuit: Albuquerque Deputy Tortured Latino Man by Forcing him to Kneel on Sizzling Hot asphalt

From [HERE] A Latino man filed a federal lawsuit claiming he was the victim of excessive police brutality during a scorching hot summer day. Jonathon Griego claims he was detained by Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Deputy Chris Starr at a convenience store near the intersection of La Vega and Bridge on June 20, 2013—a day with high temperatures reaching 96 degrees.

Starr demanded that Griego kneel and sit on the asphalt, where he was forced to "literally cook" after a needle was found in his pocket, court papers said. In court documents filed in response to the lawsuit, Jonlyn Martinez, an attorney representing the county, denied Griego's allegations. Martinez also asked that a judge dismiss the suit. 

According to the lawsuit, Starr ignored Griego's complaints that the heat was burning through his pants and undergarments. Shannon Kennedy, Griego's lawyer, said a medical report concluded Griego suffered second-degree burns on his knees. "The photos are just awful," Kennedy said. He was forced to kneel on asphalt for nearly 25 minutes.  The asphalt was so hot, it burned through his jeans.

Griego claims he told the BCSO deputy that his “skin was cooking,” but the deputy ingored the complaints.  At one point Griego was permitted to sit on his buttocks, but the hot asphalt burned through his pants, undergarments, and skin.  

White Prosecutor says No Charges for White Tullytown Cops who Shot Handcuffed Black Teen in the Back & Face with Taser after Shoplifting arrest @ Walmart

'Non-whites are not treated as well as whites - both as victims of crime and as criminal defendants. Prosecutorial discretion is a major cause of racial inequality in the criminal justice system.' - Angela Davis

From [HERE] and [MORE] The Bucks County district attorney on Thursday cleared Tullytown police of any wrongdoing when they used a Taser last month on a handcuffed Black teen who had run from them and then fell - allegedly on his face.

The 14-year-old suffered numerous facial injuries. A photo of his bruised and scabbed face, which went viral, prompted the investigation. The boy's family said it remained unsatisfied with the district attorney's conclusion and repeated claims of excessive force after the boy was arrested on shoplifting charges. The family's attorney is conducting an independent investigation. The FBI is reviewing the matter as well. Fortunato N. Perri Jr., the family's Center City-based attorney, said medical professionals had told the family that the boy's injuries were inconsistent with Tullytown's account.

During an hour-plus news conference, District Attorney David Heckler, who is white, said his conclusion was based on the accounts of five witnesses, the boy's statements after his arrest, video from two police cars, and other evidence. "This all happened in front of literally hundreds of people," Heckler said. Prosecutors are still pursuing juvenile shoplifting and other charges against the teenager. 

The Bristol Township teen, Joey Williams, and a Black man he was with had been chased down by the police after allegedly shoplifting from a Walmart store on Route 13, one of the busiest roads in Bucks County. Both were handcuffed and standing outside an SUV they had been in when the boy took off, according to police-car video footage Heckler showed reporters. He declined to release copies of the video because the boy is a minor.

Mysteriously, the police car cameras did not capture the actual use of the Taser. They only showed the boy before and after the incident, including him sitting in the back of a police car with a Taser barb in his cheek.

White Prosecutor says police shot him in back and face for his safety. Heckler said police were justified in using the Taser to prevent the boy from running handcuffed into heavy traffic and to protect the officers' safety on a busy road. Williams was running away from the police. He added that the boy's facial injuries were consistent with someone who suffered a Taser barb to the cheek and then "face planted" after the fall. He said one of the Taser barbs struck the boy in the check because he turned his face while running. [unforeseeable conduct? - shooting a handcuffed person who is running in the back and not expecting him to fall on his face.]

The officers yelled warnings at the teen before firing a stun gun to subdue him, Heckler said.  With his hands cuffed behind his back, the boy was unable to brace himself when he fell face-first. Heckler added that the boy told authorities after his arrest that no one had hit him during the incident.

The boy's family disputes Heckler's account. Greg Brinkley, an advocate for the family, told reporters the teen suffered a concussion and was remembering more from his arrest, including being "aggressively attacked." Brinkley said the use of the Taser was excessive and unnecessary because the boy was running away from traffic, not into it.

"This certainly by no means closes our investigation," Perri said.

Carrie Adamowski, an FBI spokeswoman, confirmed that the agency was reviewing the incident. Tullytown police had requested that both the FBI and the District Attorney's Office investigate the matter.

To the extent that you might be dealing with a racist police officer, attempt to comply with orders. In face to face confrontations with police, white supremacy is your reality.

Americans [too many non-white] Killed by Cops [mostly white] Now Outnumber Americans Killed in Iraq War

Justifiable Homicide in a Racist System. This article should be considered in the context of the racism/white supremacy dynamic. 'Whenever there is a sense of increased vulnerability within the local and/or global white collective - as, for example, caused by the rapidly declining white population and demographic transformation in the US or the election of a Black president- there will be an increase of the ever-present "normal" daily slaughter and murder of Black and other non-white males by those both legally and illegally authorized to do so. This murder and slaughter will be logically viewed as justified within the specific logic framework of the fear of white genetic annihilation. [MORE]

This conduct is also not justified by the myth that police work is dangerous. Police work continues to be a relatively safe occupation and the numbers bear this out.  Compared to the daily perils of being a retail clerk in a 7-Eleven or toiling on a construction site, let alone working on a trawler in the Gulf of Alaska, logging in the Pacific Northwest or working in a deep mine, policing is a fairly invulnerable trade. [MORE]

From [HERE] The increase in police brutality in this country is a frightening reality. In the last decade alone the number of  people murdered by police has reached 5,000. The number of soldiers killed since the inception of the Iraq war, 4489.

What went wrong? In the 19070’s SWAT teams were estimated to be used just a few hundred times per year, now we are looking at over 40,000 military style “knock and announce” police raids a year. The police presence in this country is being turned into a military with a clearly defined enemy, anyone who questions the establishment.

Just a white thing?  According to Anon, 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. (with the exception of Christopher Dorner, who allegedly killed a white officer). [MORE]

If we look at the most recent numbers of non-military US citizens killed by terrorism worldwide, that number is 17. You have a better chance of being killed by a bee sting, or a home repair accident than you do a terrorist. And you are 29 times more likely to be murdered by a cop than a terrorist!

Do Not Expect to be Treated Humanely by White Cops: Still No Real Remedy for Victim of White Supremacy Killed by Berkeley Police after dialing 911

From [HERE] and [HERE] Just before midnight on Feb. 12, Kayla Xavier Moore’s roommate dialed 911. Moore, 41, a paranoid schizophrenic, was off her prescription meds and highly agitated. The roommate thought he knew the drill – Moore would be taken to a psychiatric hospital, stabilised with medication and allowed to go home in 72 hours.

That’s not what happened. Finding Moore had an outstanding $10,000 warrant from San Francisco, Berkeley police decided to take her to jail. When they tried to handcuff her, Moore, who was also African American and transgender, resisted – and died. The coroner said Moore died from obesity, drugs and cardiovascular disease.

On March 13th, 2013 Black teenager, Jeremy Carter was brutally arrested by members of the Berkley Police Department. [MORE

Moore’s family blames the police. Which is a reasonable accusation considering the facts that she died after a violent struggle with at least three cops who were beating on her in a small space. The cops apparently ended up on top of her and restrained her with 2 sets of handcuffs and ankle straps. Minutes after the struggle she stopped breathing - coroner missed that? To the extent that you might be dealing with a racist coroner - get an independent autopsy done. 

Thus far no lawsuit has been filed, no criminal charges were filed against cops and after being briefly put on administrative leave following the incident, the officers have since returned to work. [MORE]

According to police, Moore's roommate said in the 911 call that there were no weapons in the house, but that Moore had been known to pick up kitchen knives and threaten to use them. He said that Moore was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. [MORE]

"Berkeley was well aware of Xavier's issues," "I don't know the circumstances that happened that night, but mental health wasn't there for him. They needed that aspect to help calm him down, to help communicate with him. You’re dealing with someone who’s paranoid, who trusts no one, and you have the police there?"[MORE]

NYPD Go On Warrantless Search and Beat Down of Latino Family after Stop about Parking Space

From [HERE] and [HERE] A Latino woman has sued the city claiming police entered her home in Staten island without a warrant, and beat her family  according to court documents. The officers also stepped on their pet bird intentionally, killing it, court documents say.

The violent incident occurred Sept. 2, 2012, as Lugo’s family was celebrating a Labor Day barbecue, the suit said.

Lugo’s son Edwin Avellanet was taking a bag of garbage outside when cops stopped and questioned him about an orange construction cone placed in front of their Corson Ave. home to save a parking spot, according to lawyer Jason Leventhal.

The cops demanded to see identification and Avellanet, 26, refused, stating that he had done nothing wrong. A cop grabbed Avellanet by the arm, but he was able to break free and retreat into the house, according to the suit. The lawyer said cops started smashing several first-floor windows with their equipment. Lugo opened the front door to see who was outside and the cops barged in, Leventhal said.

“It was completely uncalled for,” Leventhal said. “There was no excuse for going into the house without a warrant.” Additional cops arrived and swarmed throughout the house looking for Avellanet. “They threw me like a piece of garbage on the floor,” Lugo said.

Another son, George Lugo, and family friend Luis Ortega were struck in the head repeatedly with a baton and suffered severe facial injuries, according to the complaint filed Nov. 29 in Brooklyn Federal Court.

What is the Real Purpose? New Stop & Frisk Stats: Only 1 in 50 arrests (0.1%) of all stops, led to a conviction for a violent crime

The Stop & Frisk, Identification & Detainment of non-white people by the police is to control the movement of non-white people, and to demean and terrorize them; all of which further the goals of white supremacy. [MORE] and [MORE]. Measures such as "stop and frisk" and "papers please" identification laws aimed at all non-whites 'who look illegal or undocumented' are similar to the various movement restriction and ID measures aimed at Jews during Nazi Germany. Such non-laws were preconditions to genocide.[MORE

According to Raul Hilberg: "the whole [Nazi] identification system, with its personal documents, specially assigned names, and conspicuous tagging in public, was a powerful weapon in the hands of the police. First, the system was an auxiliary device that facilitated the enforcement of residence and movement restrictions. Second, it was an independent control measure in that it enabled the police to pick up any Jew, anywhere, anytime. Third, and perhaps most important, identification had a paralyzing effect on its victims. The system induced the Jews to be even more docile, more responsive to command than before. The wearer of the star was exposed; he thought that all eyes were fixed upon him. It was as though the whole population had become a police force, watching him and guarding his actions. No Jew, under those conditions, could resist, escape, or hide without first ridding himself of the conspicuous tag, the revealing middle name, the telltale ration card, passport, and identification papers. Yet the riddance of these burdens was dangerous, for the victim could be recognized and denounced. Few Jews took the chance. The vast majority wore the star and, wearing it, were lost." (11) [MORE].

Here, in a white supremacy system there is no need for a yellow star, it is your skin color that identifies you as a target. [MORE] and [MORE].

From [HERE] Mayor Michael Bloomberg has often defended New York City’s discredited stop-and-frisk program by arguing that it is necessary to cut crime. That claim was never credible; crime declined in cities that did not detain citizens millions of times over the course of the decade, as New York did, often without legitimate reason. In photo, NYPD Commissioner R. Kelly, who stated that he targeted and focused on Blacks & Latinos because he wanted to instill fear in them that every time they left their homes they could be targeted by police. [MORE]

Similarly, crime is down in New York City, even though new stop-and-frisk data made public last week shows that the Police Department has greatly reduced the number of times officers have stopped and frisked people on the street.

Indeed, the evidence suggests that the department could have reached its public safety goals by using stop-and-frisk legally, when officers had legitimate suspicion of criminal activity, instead of in a way that undermined confidence in law enforcement and violated the Constitution.

Above, White NYPD Deputy Inspector Recorded Telling an Officer to Target Young Black Men Wearing Dark Clothing [MORE]

New York City in 2012 had the lowest murder count in at least 50 years, and it is on pace to have even fewer murders this year. At the same time, the number of stops by police officers has dropped precipitously from more than 200,000 in the first quarter of 2012, the high-water mark of the program, to just over 21,000 in the third quarter of this year. If stops alone were holding back a hidden tsunami of crime, the city would have been overwhelmed by now.

A Federal District Court ruled in August that the tactics underlying the program violated the rights of black and Hispanic citizens, who were disproportionately singled out. Data presented at trial showed that only 6 percent of the stops resulted in arrests.

In photo, Racist Suspect Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced a new high school on Friday will be named after Nelson Mandela. "The Mandela School for Social Justice." [cameras will be everywhere]

A new analysis by the state attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, of nearly 150,000 such arrests suggests that they netted few serious criminals. According to the report, only 1 in 50 arrests, or 0.1 percent of all stops, led to a conviction for a violent crime; similarly, just 1 in 50 arrests led to conviction for possession of a weapon. Nearly half of arrests resulted in no convictions because those arrested were never prosecuted; had their cases dismissed; or received an “adjournment in contemplation of dismissal,” which means that the charge is dismissed if the person stays out of trouble for six months or a year.

The collateral costs of an arrest, however, can be disastrous for the person arrested. It can mean losing public housing, student loans or job opportunities. Beyond that, the program wastes the time and resources of district attorneys who have to dispose of the resulting cases. According to the attorney general’s report, the stop-and-frisk era has also seen a dramatic increase in damage claims against the police.

Atlantic City Police Unleash Dog[s] on Black Man after Stopping him for being in 'Drug Neighborhood'

"Every time they hit me they said, Shut up Nigger!" From [HERE] A federal judge is raising questions about the Atlantic City police department's handling of brutality complaints against its officers. U.S. District Judge Joel Schneider in Camden is presiding over a 2010 excessive-force lawsuit against two Atlantic City officers who have faced nearly 80 complaints between them. None has been upheld by Internal Affairs.

The city previously provided summaries of the cases against the officers, Sgt. Frank Timek (in photo with police attack dog Vader) and Officer Sterling Wheaten. But The Press of Atlantic City reports Schneider has ordered the city to turn over the full Internal Affairs reports.

The judge says those reports are needed to determine if the city has been, as alleged, "deliberately indifferent to the violent propensities of its police officers.''

Julius Adams is the latest non-white person to file a lawsuit against the Atlantic City Police department, claiming he was the victim of excessive force from Sgt. Timek and another officer. "I was in handcuffs in a puddle of blood," Adams said. "They tried to kill me. They literally tried to kill me."

Adams says Timek and another officer approached him and two friends early last year after they finished gambling around midnight. Adams claimed they walked several blocks from the casino before Timek stopped them and told them they were near a drug neighborhood.

"They told us, 'Up against the wall!'" Adams said. "I said, 'Up against the wall for what?' They said, 'Oh you got a smart mouth huh? I said up against the wall!'" According to Adams, Timek let his friends go but released his police dog on him. "He ran straight to me on my leg and I started screaming," Adams said. Adams says the officers started beating him and then released a second police dog.

"I got two dogs biting me, playing tug o' war on my leg and they were still hitting me and kicking me," Adams said. "And every time they hit me they said, 'Shut up nigger! Shut up nigger!" Adams says he lost some use of his leg, is in constant pain and still has nightmares. ["in the absence of white supremacy niggers would not exist."]

Lawsuit says West Baton Rouge Police Stopped Black Man for Wearing Saggy Pants - then Killed him in a "Callous & Cowardly Manner"

From [HERE] and [HERE] Exactly one week after Ervin Edwards was found dead inside a padded jail cell in the West Baton Rouge Parish Prison, his family filed a lawsuit Tuesday in Federal Court. "He walked into that police station. He walked in there and he had to be rolled out." 

According to the lawsuit, Edwards was traveling with his girlfriend back to Jefferson Parish when he stopped for gas in Port Allen. The couple got into a minor altercation and police were dispatched on the scene around 5:47 p.m. after the clerk at the station called 911.

By the time officers arrived the couple had stopped arguing, the lawsuit states (in other words at the time of the stop Edwards was not disturbing the peace or otherwise engaged in any unlawful activity -bw). However, sheriff’s deputies questioned Edwards anyway because he was wearing sagging pants, the lawsuit reads.

According to the lawsuit, when Edwards became flippant with deputies about his pants the deputies told him he was going to jail. In the lawsuit it states Edwards jerked away from a deputy and asked, “Why am I going to jail? I didn’t do anything.”

Another deputy grabbed Edwards and threatened to use a stun gun on him if he didn’t submit to police, the lawsuit states. Edwards’ girlfriend told officers not to shoot Edwards with the stun gun because he had high-blood pressure, had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and was deaf in his left ear, which she explained as the reason he spoke so loudly to authorities.

After deputies were able to handcuff Edwards, identified in the lawsuit as weighing more than 300 pounds, he was transported to the parish jail where he died in a padded cell shortly after he arrived, the lawsuit states.

(nazi movement restrictions/ID measures) Rochester Cops Arrest Black Students Waiting for Bus - Ordered to ‘Disperse’

"Anyone [Black] could be “just downtown, minding your own business, and next thing you know, anything can happen.” 

From [HERE] Three African-American students who were waiting for a school bus in Rochester, New York were arrested on Wednesday morning when police officer told them to “disperse,” even though witnesses said they did nothing wrong. None of the children have ever been arrested before. 

According to WROC, basketball coach Jacob Scott had arranged for a [yellow] school bus to pick up the boys to take them to a scrimmage on a day when school was closed.

A police report claimed that the boys were blocking “pedestrian traffic while standing on a public sidewalk…preventing free passage of citizens walking by and attempting to enter and exit a store…Your complainant gave several lawful clear and concise orders for the group to disperse and leave the area without complaince [sic].”

But the students and the coach dispute the police version of events. “We didn’t do nothing,” student Raliek Redd explained. “We was just trying to go to our scrimmage.”  “We was just waiting for our bus and he started arrested us,” student Wan’Tauhjs Weathers added.

Daequon Carelock, who was also arrested, lamented that anyone [Black] could be “just downtown, minding your own business, and next thing you know, anything can happen.”

White Supremacy is Carried Out Through Violence: Dallas Police Terrorize & Batter Black Man Driving Home with 3 yr old daughter - suit filed

From [HERE] and [HERE] A Black man is suing the city, and two Dallas Police Department officers, over an “unnecessary, unreasonable, excessive” 2012 arrest that he says culminated in several surgeries and a laundry list of medical problems. And he has dash-cam video he believes will help make his case.

George Pogue says in a federal suit filed Tuesday, which you can read below, that at around 10 p.m. on June 19 of last year, he was driving west on Fort Worth Avenue near N. Hampton Road with a friend in the front seat and his 3-year-old daughter in the back seat. According to the suit, officers Jason Arozamena and Louis Pacheco were heading the opposite direction when they “shined a spotlight on plaintiff’s vehicle, made a U-turn, and then followed the plaintiff.”

Pogue insists the officers took a long time to turn on their sirens and their lights as they followed him home. In the end, he says, the arrest warrant affidavit says the officers were going to pull him over for failing to use his signal during a lane change — though KTVT-Channel 11 says he was eventually stopped for having a broken headlight and because his daughter wasn’t properly restrained (how is the child visible? how is the headlight visible? Police came from the opposite direction and then turned around to stalk from behind so they should have immediately pulled him over for alleged headlight infraction -Bw).

Regardless of the charges, one thing is clear: As the video shows, once Pogue finally pulled into his driveway, the officers rushed his car with guns drawn. According to Channel 11′s Jack Fink and the lawsuit, it’s Arozamena seen in the video first pointing his gun to Pogue’s head, then using his Taser on Pogue once he gets out of the car and tries to walk away.

Pogue “fell to the ground on his right side back while feeling the effects of the Taser through his body, including his arms and legs,” says the suit. “Plaintiff initially thought that he had been shot by the officer’s gun as it previously drawn to this head. Plaintiff felt immense pain and began to pull the probes out of his skin to stop the pain.”

At that point, says the suit, Pacheco started to punch and kick the unarmed Pogue, who was tased a second time within 13 seconds by Arozamena. He was finally cuffed and taken to Dallas County Jail — but, Pogue says, not before the officers stopped at a 7-Eleven for a half-hour break during which they “could be observed eating food and talking on their cell phones during this time,” says the suit.

Jasper County (TX) Settles Case: White Officers Dragged Black Woman like an Animal into a Dark Cell & Denied Medical Attention after Arrest for Unpaid Ticket

From [HERE] and [HERE] A Black woman who filed a civil rights lawsuit after she was beaten by Jasper police officers has won a $75,000 settlement according to her attorney. Defendants (all are white) in the case include Jasper Mayor Mike Lout, Captain Gerald Hall, former dispatcher Lindsey Davenport, former officer Ricky Grissom, former officer Ryan Cunningham and the City of Jasper. 

Keyarika Diggles was arrested May 5 for an allegedly unpaid $150 traffic ticket. Her attorney, Cade Bernsen, said she was brutalized by former Jasper Police Officers while dispatcher Davenport watched without intervening.

"Ms. Diggles was dragged like an animal (by her hair) into a darkened "detox" cell, even though she was not intoxicated, and left battered and bruised on the floor for hours without medical attention. To add further insult to injury, she was then stripped naked and illegally searched," says a statement issued by the Bernsen Law Firm.

The incident was captured on surveillance video which was used as evidence in the case. According to Bernson on May 5, at approximately 8:30 a.m., police officers woke Diggles up by banging on the door of her home, stating they had a warrant for her arrest. 

Bernsen told Yahoo News that, once at the jail, Diggles was trying to arrange to pay the fine with her mother over the phone when Grissom abruptly ended the call. Footage shows the two arguing as Cunningham comes up behind Diggles and attempts to place her in handcuffs. The video shows the officers twisting Diggles' arms, grabbing her by her hair and shoving her head against a desk. She is then forced to the floor and dragged into a jail cell -all while her hands were tightly bound with handcuffs.  [MORE]

'Then while handcuffed spent the duration of her time in the isolated cell with an injured scalp where her hair was ripped from her head, a brace [orthodontic] lodged into her upper lip, a tooth dangling by its root and handcuffs ripping into her wrists,' said Diggles’ lawyer, Cade Bernsen. The above video is from two camera angles, no sound.

Latino Teen Still in a Coma with Permanent Brain Damage after being Tasered by White Bastrop County (TX) Officer

From [HERE] and [HERE] A Latino high school student suffered a brain injury and remains in a medically-induced coma after a white Texas sheriff’s deputy tasered him without cause following a skirmish in a school hallway the boy’s mother claims in court.

Maria Acosta has sued Bastrop County, its school district and Randy McMillan, a Bastrop County sheriff’s officer and school resource officer, according to Courthouse News.

Noe Nino de Rivera, Acosta’s son, suffered a “severe brain hemorrhage” when McMillan Tasered him after the boy, known as N.N., had intervened to halt a fight between two females at Cedar Creek High School on Wednesday, November 20, Acosta claims in a federal lawsuit.

McMillan and another security officer arrived to break up the fight upon being called by school officials. Acosta says her son “diffused the situation” by the time they arrived on the scene.  McMillan told N.N. to step away, and he did so with his hands raised, but McMillan tasered him nevertheless, Acosta alleges.

Immobilized by the Taser, N.N. fell and struck his head on the floor - face first, at which point McMillan handcuffed the unconscious boy, 17. Acosta says school officials initially “delayed in calling for medical assistance even though N.N. was in an obvious emergency medical situation.

Black Judge Learns he Has No Power in Backseat of Cop Car: Assaulted by UCLA Police after Stop for Seat Belt Violation

White over Black System. According to the Code, 'the very existence of white supremacy automatically eliminates the possibility of any non-white person being so-called "upper class" or "middle class" in his or her relationship to any person, any place. Non-white people are all in "subject class", and or the "powerless class." [MOREVictims of white supremacy have no power and are rarely in a position to make demands- defense attorneys, civil libertarians and Black public officials should keep this in mind: 

From [HERE] and [HERE] A prominent Black Los Angeles Superior Court judge has filed a complaint against the University of California, Los Angeles police squad for excessive force after a stop for a traffic violation. Judge David S. Cunningham III was stopped over the weekend leaving a gym where he says a UCLA officer roughed him up for not wearing a seat belt. Cunningham is also a former LAPD Commissioner. [MORE

According to the complaint Cunningham buckled his seat belt when he was stopped and approached by a pair of officers. After providing his driver’s license, the judge was asked for his registration and proof of insurance, but he could not find them.

While reaching for the documents, according to the complaint, an officer began to yell at him not to move and then a prescription bottle of high blood pressure medicine rolled out. One of the officers asked the judge if he was running drugs, alleges the complaint. Cunningham couldn't find the paperwork in the glove compartment and told officers he thought it might be in the trunk. According to the complaint Cunningham got out of the car to search his trunk for the documents when Officer Kevin Dodd slammed him against his car. 

Cunningham, 60, said the officers locked him in the back of their police cruiser and told him he was being detained for resisting arrest. Douglas said the judge was tossed into the back of the police cruiser with such force that his feet flew up in the air. The second officer, identified as James Kim, accused the judge of "kicking," Douglas said. Cunningham suffered nerve damage from handcuffs placed too tightly on him - and was humiliated and demeaned on the street as a crowd was gathered to see what the police were doing. 

A Los Angeles Police Department sergeant arrived and allowed Cunningham to go free after about 10 minutes. The sergeant who treated the Judge humanely was Black. Douglas raised the possibility of race being at issue at the stop, stating in a Los Angeles Times report, “”Do you think this would have happened if he was a white judge?”

No Power. To the extent that you might be dealing with a racist police officer, attempt to comply with orders. In face to face confrontations with police, white supremacy is your reality. All of your so-called rights may be dealt with later in court - should they allow it. Nevertheless, avoid incriminating yourself or participating in your own oppression.

"It's a Whitewash." No Grosse Pointe Cops Fired After Making Videos of Black Men Forced to Sing & Dance 'Like Chimps'

Like racist Disney animation, no actors were involved in these films. Is there any police training that can cure the psychopathic racial personality? [MORE

From [HERE] Five white Grosse Pointe Park police officers have been suspended for abusing their authority by forcing a mentally retatred Black man to sing and dance like an animal. The demeaning, racist abuse was captured on video by the officers themselves and then shared between them and their families. One white officer has been removed from duty pending an investigation after admitting he shot a demeaning video of a mentally-challenged African American man.

According to the blog, Motor City Muckraker ,which broke the story a few weeks ago, there are several other videos in which Black men are told to sing or “dance like a chimp.” All the Black men apparently had been stopped by police and ordered to engage in demeaning conduct. Some of the subjects are even in the back of police cars. 

Grosse Pointe Park police have refused to release the name of the officer who admitted to filming one of the episodes. (If a Black police officer forced white men to sing and dance and then shared the images for amusement do you think we would know his identity by now? Racism is carried out through deception. The blog, Motor City Muckraker named only Mike Najm as an officer who may have taken some of the images and videos. [HERE] and [HERE]) 

Grosse Pointe Park Public Safety Director David A. Hiller confirmed that five of the department's 36 police officers will be suspended between 24 hours and 60 days, although he would provide no further details. None were fired.

The punishments come after a week-long investigation into the origin and disbursement of the videos. Multiple videos were taken of Michael Scipio, 55, a mentally retarded Black man. Hiller said the videos were recorded in March of 2012 and all of the officers involved worked on the same shift. 

Minister Malik Shabazz, founder of the New Marcus Garvey Movement, called the press conference a "pep rally" that was "not in the spirit" of the closed door meeting he had with Hiller after a protest last week. "An African-American man was humiliated," Shabazz said. "It's a whitewash... The officers are wrong... I'm not satisfied."

City officials invited four black residents of Grosse Pointe Park to illustrate the diversity that exists in Grosse Pointe Park, which according to the 2010 U.S. Census is 10.5 percent black and 85 percent white. The black residents spoke highly of the police department. The Grosse Pointe Police Department has no black officers and one female.

Black People as the Enemy. Cleveland Sued for the Wrongful Death of Unarmed Black Couple Executed by Police: Shot at 137 Times

"Keep your protest signs because this will happen again." [MORE] White supremacy is war against Black people in general. [MORE]"   

From [HERE] The estates of two Black people shot and killed by Cleveland police during a chase that involved more than 60 squad cars and 137 shots fired sued the city, its police department and officers in federal court Thursday in a wrongful death lawsuit. 

The suit in U.S. District Court in Cleveland filed on behalf of the families of driver Timothy Russell, 43, and his passenger, Malissa Williams, 30. claims officers used excessive force, supervisors failed to rein in officers during the chase and top administrators provided inadequate supervision and training to officers regarding the department's policies and practices.

Elizabeth Goodwin, the administrator for Williams' estate, and Debra Bodnar, the administrator for Russell's estate, are seeking an undetermined amount of money, plus reforms in the police department. Though the court was closed on Thanksgiving, attorneys filed the suit electronically.

Police Claim they heard a Gun Shot & Saw a Gun Thrown Out of a Window: Attorney General Mike DeWine Found Car was Prone to Loud Backfiring from Muffler. No gun or gun residue was found after an exhaustive search.  [MORE]

Russell was shot 23 times and Williams was shot 24 times one year ago.

The lawsuit identifies a number of city officials, including Mayor Frank Jackson, Police Chief Michael McGrath and Safety Director Martin Flask, and police officers involved in the chase and shooting. The lawsuit is the latest chapter in year-long legal saga that seeks to determine what took place when 60-some police cruisers (more than a third of on-duty officers participating) chased Russell and Williams for more than 20 miles to the parking lot of Heritage Middle School in East Cleveland and the gunfire that followed. The suit says the pair did not have a gun with them during any part of the pursuit. 

The civil complaint not only addresses the individual officers' conduct, but also the systemic failures of the police department. For instance, according to a report by the Attorney General many of the officers were told to disengage from the pursuit and either did not hear the command or ignored it. [MORE]

The Nov. 29 chase began downtown after officers believed someone had fired a gun from Russell's 1979 Chevrolet Malibu SS. In fact, the suit claims, it was not a gun shot but the car backfiring.

During the pursuit, officers believed the gunfire had continued and, at one point, they reported that the car had rammed a police cruiser. The chase zigzagged through Cleveland 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. 

Once at the East Cleveland school, 13 Cleveland officers converged on the Black man's car and fired 137 bullets at Williams and Russell. 12 of the 13 Cleveland officers involved were white. [MORE] One officer, Michael Brelo (racist suspect interviewed in video below) fired so many rounds, he had to reload his weapon at least once, according to documents and interviews.

4th Amendment for Whites Only? Michigan State Troopers Use Flint Sidewalk Law to Stop & Frisk Black Men

Don't Blame the Sidewalk Law. The operating system (OS) of White supremacy is the cause and effect of white people's genocidal conduct towards non-whites - not stop & frisk laws, stand your ground self defense laws or here, sidewalk ordinances in Flint used by State Troppers to stop Black men. It is the application of such laws by racist citizens, police, prosecutors, jurors and judges that creates injustice for non-whites.

Neely Fuller explains that a "non-law" is any law that is used in such a manner as to promote injustice. It is deception or delusional to believe that the elimination of such laws  will have an affect on the way in which white people (including law enforcement) relate to non-whites. [MORE] and [MORE] If you don't understand the context of white supremacy/racism you will only be confused by these issues. 

From [HERE] Non-white people walking in the street instead of using available sidewalks in residential Flint neighborhoods are being stopped -- and in at least some cases searched -- by state police, sparking complaints from some defense attorneys who claim it amounts to racial profiling.

Fenton-based attorney Steven Shelton dubbed the practice "walking while black" and is one of four attorneys arguing that the stops are not justified, although no formal complaints have been lodged against the practice.

In at least three recent court cases, black men have been stopped while walking in the roadway in northside neighborhoods and subsequently arrested because police allegedly found the men in possession of guns or drugs.

Shelton claims troopers have no legal authority to stop and search people because they are walking in a residential street, even if there is a sidewalk -- an argument that one Genesee County Circuit judge agreed with in a ruling.

"If you are young, black and in Flint your constitutional rights are almost worthless," said defense attorney Frank J. Manley, who said he has fielded complaints from residents who were stopped while walking in the street.

While the legitimacy of the stops has been questioned in three court cases, Shelton said there is no way of knowing how many, if any, other residents have been stopped for walking in the street. "We only see the cases where they actually find something," said Shelton.

Michigan State Police Capt. Greg Zarotney, chief of staff for the police agency's director, who is white, said that walking in the street when a sidewalk is available is a violation of law and that the stops are justified. Zarotney specifically cited a state law that prohibits pedestrians from walking on highways in places where sidewalks are provided. He also denied that race has been a factor in any stops. State police policies specifically ban the use of race as a reason to stop and question someone.

Minimum Sentence (4 yrs) Recommended for White Oklahoma Police Captain in Manslaughter of Unarmed Black Teen: Shot in the Back while Retreating with hands Up

From [HERE] An Oklahoma jury Tuesday convicted a white veteran police captain of first-degree manslaughter in the death of an unarmed Black teenager who was running away after scuffling with the officer.

Del City Police Capt. Randy Trent Harrison shot Dane Scott Jr. in the back on March 14, 2012, following a high-speed chase that began when Harrison tried to pull over Scott's car. Harrison had previously arrested Scott on drug violations, and prosecutors said his pursuit of the teenager crossed the line from professional to personal. The defense portrayed Scott as a drug dealer and said Harrison believed the teen was reaching for a second weapon after the officer took one gun from him during a scuffle that followed the police chase.

The jury announced the verdict and recommended the minimum four-year prison sentence after deliberating for about 11 hours over two days. Harrison showed no emotion when the verdict was read. He was handcuffed by sheriff's deputies and led to the Oklahoma County jail.

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]
