Liar White Cop in Atlanta Charged with Murder. Randomly Shot Unarmed Black man: Devaris Rogers was Not a Suspect - No Evidence Any Theft Took Place

From [HERE] A white Atlanta cop charged with murder over the shooting of a 22-year-old unarmed black man has turned himself in. James R Burns was arrested on Saturday on charges including felony murder in the June 22 shooting of Devaris Caine Rogers. 

The incident occurred when Burns, who had been called out to help an off-duty officer catch a suspected car thief, first blocked, then opened fire on a car being driven by Rogers.

Burns claimed he was scared the car was going to hit him, but a report released earlier this week said Burns put himself in harm's way and fired at Rogers without knowing if he was even the suspect they were looking for, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Worse, it was later concluded that there hadn't even been any car break-ins in the area that night. 

Atlanta Police Department (APD) fired Burns on July 1, with police chief George N Turner telling the officer that the shooting was an unnecessary and excessive use of force.

'As the vehicle approached you, you were in your vehicle,' said a memo written by Turner. 'The driver of the vehicle posed no immediate threat to you... You did not have probable cause that the driver posed a threat of serious physical harm either to yourself or others.'

Burns had been called to the Monroe Place Apartments on Monroe Drive in northeast Atlanta at around midnight on June 22 to help an off-duty cop who believed a man seen near vehicles might be a car thief.

An investigation later concluded that there was no evidence car break-ins - or any illegal activity - had occurred that night before the officers arrived on the scene.

The suspect had fled the first officer on foot, the Internal Affairs report said. There is no evidence that this was the same person as Rogers.

As he drove into the complex, Burns saw a silver sedan parked on the wrong side of the road pulling away from the curb and heading towards his cruiser.

The officer had initially told investigators: 'I didn’t know to block that particular car. I shot at the car who was trying to run me over and kill me.'

But according to investigators, dashcam video from two vehicles showed that he had indeed positioned his car to block the sedan's path.

Burns also turned on his lights and used his siren to indicate the driver should slow down.

That driver, Rogers, continued to drive towards and around Burns's cruiser on the passenger side, the report claimed.

The report says that Burns then exited his own vehicle, slammed his door and shouted for the driver to stop. Instead, Rogers gunned the engine.

At this point, Burns was near the front headlight of Rogers' vehicle. Burns told investigators that he was initially blinded by the light. 

He fired once on Rogers, hitting him in the head. Rogers' car continued on down Monroe Place before entering the parking lot of Cirque Daiquiri Bar and Grill on Monroe Drive and colliding with an SUV.

The young Black man was pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital, three miles away.

Turner's office concluded that Burns's decision to block the car of a person who wasn't even a suspect, to exit his own vehicle, and to subsequently fire on Rogers constituted breaches of department policy.

'You did not have reasonable suspicion that the driver of the vehicle engaged in, or was about to engage in, criminal activity,' Turner said in his memo. 

'Yet rather than allow the driver to drive past you, you exited your vehicle and ultimately prevented the driver from driving away through the use of deadly force.' 

Media had initially reported the incident as Burns firing on a suspected car thief, but the report rebukes those claims: Rogers was not the suspect and there was no evidence of a theft having taken place.

Burns's case is now being investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, as have all APD shootings since January, per Turner's orders.

[Nigger Give Me Your ID When I Ask for It] Confused White Savannah-Chatham Cops Tased Wrong Black Man. [Never Asked him for ID]

Nigger is what is being done to you. Nigger means victim of white supremacy. From [HERE] and [HERE] Earlier this year, police in Georgia tased a 24-year-old man named Patrick Mumford outside his home — and it turns out he wasn’t even the guy they were looking for.

Via The Daily Beast, a new police body cam video posted by Mumford’s attorney Will Claiborne this week shows officers with the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department approach Mumford and ask for his name. Patrick replies that his name is Patrick, but the police don’t seem to believe him.

They tell Mumford that they have a warrant for his arrest — despite the fact that they actually have a warrant for a man named Michael Clay.

Mumford insists on seeing a warrant and resists the officers’ demands to get out of the car he’s sitting in. They eventually tase him twice with 2,000 volts of electricity.

After they have him handcuffed and pinned to the hood of a police car, they open up his wallet and pull out his ID, only to discover that he isn’t the man they’re looking for,

Instead of being apologetic about this case of mistaken identity, one of the officers scolds Clay for not handing over his ID when he was asked. As Mumford’s attorney points out, the police never actually asked Mumford for his ID before they tased him.

What makes this particularly distressing is that Mumford was subsequently charged with violating his probation for a non-violent drug offense after this incident, and he could spend an additional seven years in prison if found guilty.

“Patrick is arrested for obstruction,” Claiborne explains. “As a non-violent drug offender serving in a first-offender probation program, a pending probation violation could cost him his job, his college education, and seven years in prison: all for sitting in his own car, minding his own business, and telling the truth.” [MORE]

Baltimore to Pay $150 K: Black Man was Compliant with Cops but Dragged and Beaten before he was handcuffed - arrested for no reason

From [HERE] Baltimore's Board of Estimates on Wednesday unanimously approved a $150,000 payment to settle a lawsuit alleging police brutality.

The five-member panel awarded the money to Tiyon Williams, who filed suit in 2014 against Lt. Joel Fried, Det. Maurice Ward and Det. Robert W. Mitchell for alleged battery and false arrest, among other claims.

"This was not a pretty set of facts," said City Solicitor George Nilson, a member of the board.

The incident stems from May 19, 2012, when Williams was talking with a friend in the 900 block of N. Mount St. when officers approached and arrested his friend, according to the city. Williams ran and Ward chased him and tackled him. Williams said he was compliant with the officer's orders, but nonetheless was "dragged and beaten" before being placed in handcuffs.

Williams alleged he suffered injuries to his head and face as the result of being "punched," "stomped," and having his head hit a cement sidewalk during the arrest.

Police determined he had committed no crime and he was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Mitchell was charged with second-degree assault and misconduct against the police as a result of the incident, but those criminal charges were later dropped. This means the cops lied. The cops wrote police reports which included made-up facts that Mitchell assaulted them. Apparently, the cops then submitted the information to prosecutors who papered his case. Former Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts called the allegations against Mitchell "reprehensible."

Baltimore has agreed to pay out $12 million to settle civil claims of police misconduct since 2010. In these settlements the officers are not required to pay a penny and rarely face prosecution or sentencing. Settlements may help to make the victims more whole but they do nothing to stop the terror imposed on Blacks & Latinos in this bullshit police state. Police brutality is an effect of white supremacy/racism. 

‘I was just reading a book’: Racist Suspect calls cops on #DangerousNegro reading C.S. Lewis in his car - in Canada [worldwide White-Over-Black System]

From [HERE] After the blue and red police lights flashed behind his car, Louizandre Dauphin figured he may have added another “prohibited” item to the list of things you can’t do while black: Reading.

Dauphin, 33, a former high school English teacher, had decided to relax last week with a few books at Stonehaven Wharf, a parking lot for fishing boats that’s frequented by tourists to the Canadian province of New Brunswick. He sat inside his Volkswagen Golf hatchback watching the waves and poring over “Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis and another book by theologian Timothy Keller.

As he drove home afterward, Dauphin recounted on Instagram, an officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police pulled him over, saying someone nearby had called authorities “because … a suspicious black man in a white car was parked at the Wharf for a couple hours. My response, Really? I was just reading a book.”

He snapped two photos that he’d later use for the Instagram post, which says Canada experiences some of the same racial tension that has made headlines in the United States.

In the post, he tells his countrymen “not to get too comfortable on their high horses.” He hashtagged the post #DangerousNegro.

Dauphin, the director of the department of parks, recreation and tourism in the small New Brunswick town of Bathurst, told The Washington Post that he didn’t feel threatened by the officer, who seemed bemused about the situation before letting Dauphin go without incident. Still, he said, the encounter and a handful of previous ones show “we’re not immune to situations like this.”

“There’s still intolerance and suspicion,” he told The Post. “I’ve been pulled over for driving in my own neighborhood.  I’ve gotten asked where I’m from and when I tell them I’m from my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, the question is where are you really from? As if I can’t actually be from here.”

A spokesperson for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police wouldn’t provide details about the call that prompted the officer to stop Dauphin or name the constable involved.

“There was no arrest and no charge in that incident,” said Constable Derek Black, media relations officer for the RCMP in New Brunswick province. “We received a report of a suspicious vehicle. We stopped the vehicle, spoke with the driver and the report was unfounded.”

Since Instagram post went viral, Dauphin has posted a more detailed post on Facebook. 

He states:

I do not know the true motivations behind the individual who called the police to report my presence at the Stonehaven Wharf, but I struggle to understand why my actions of driving my vehicle to a public space, reading a book, and never once exiting my vehicle was cause for a level of suspicion which prompted this individual to call the police. Be it my vehicle (a white Volkswagen Golf) or the colour of my skin, which I believe was a contributing factor, there was something that prompted an individual to consider my presence threatening enough to warrant attention by the police. If all are truly welcome at this location, why would a person acting in a non-threatening manner have the police called on them? And, after such an incident, why would this person feel any motivation or desire to return to that location? I never once identified this person who called the police as racist, but I do suspect there is some degree of bias, fear, and ignorance-based suspicion which lead to the reality that the police were alerted to my presence at the wharf.

[Behind the Scenes @ Gangster Government] White NYPD Captain Recorded Pressuring White Cop to Watch & Stop Black Men

If You Attempt to Understand Police Brutality Without Understanding White Supremacy you will only be Confused. From [HERE] and [HERE] A white NYPD captain appears to have been caught on tape berating another white officer for not stopping enough black men claiming they are more likely to be criminals.

Commanding officer Constantin Tsachas, who works in New York City's transit bureau, was recorded by officer Michael Birch criticizing him for only stopping and searching two black men on the subway in Brooklyn over a nine-month period.

And even though Officer Birch insisted that during his time on patrol he didn't spot any crime being committed by black men, Tsachas says he should be targeting them anyway.

In the recording obtained by the New York Daily News, Tsachas asks Birch who commits the crimes in the city to which he replies that it is mostly male and black Hispanics.

Tsachas then reads out stats which he says that over a nine month period, Birch had only stopped two black men on the subway.

Birch then explains that he doesn't target specific people and only stops and arrests people committing violations such as jumping over the turnstiles.

However, Tsachas replies: 'Here’s what I see. You just described to me who’s committing the crimes. You’re fully aware of it. But you’re not targeting those people.'

Tsachas: Who commits the crimes in the city?

Birch: Who commits the crimes? Well, it’s mostly teenagers, anywhere between the ages of 15 and 19, mostly male blacks and Hispanics.

Tsachas: OK. Who are you stopping?

Birch: Everybody. I stop everybody.

Tsachas: ... The male blacks, that you told me commit the crimes—

Birch: Plenty of people that I write summonses to are male blacks and male Hispanics.

Tsachas: You stopped two male blacks.

Birch: Not for the whole year. You’re telling me for the whole year I only stopped two male blacks on summonses?

Tsachas: 8/20. From January 1st to August 20th. Fifty-four TABs: two male blacks, seven Hispanics, seven other, ten white, three Asian. So where are you targeting the perps that you just told me?

Birch: Like I said, if I don’t see a perp jumping over the turnstile, what am I supposed to do to him?

Tsachas: ...Here’s what I see. You just described to me who’s committing the crimes. You’re fully aware of it. But you’re not targeting those people.

Birch: I am. I’m targeting everybody.

Tsachas: Two male blacks.

Birch: Whoever is out there.

The recording, which was made earlier this year, then formed the basis of a lawsuit filed by Birch, who he was denied overtime and given unpleasant assignments because he did not stop enough Hispanic and black teenagers. However, the case was eventually dismissed by a federal judge as the statute of limitations had passed on many of his claims, but Birch is appealing the decision.

White Supremacy Promotion. In the meantime, Tsachas has been recently been promoted within the NYPD with police commissioner William Bratton, who is also white, dismissing that the captain had done anything wrong.

According to police figures, over the past decade, five million people have been stopped and sometimes searched in New York City by police officers. Of those, 87 per cent were black or Hispanic, groups that make up 54 per cent of the city's population. Around 10 per cent of the stops result in an arrest or a summons being issued.

[In Nazi Germany , as part of the destruction process of the Jews, Hitler created an elaborate system of movement restrictions and identification measures that included personal Jew identification cards, passports marked with a J, assignment of names and the outward marking of persons with a yellow star. Jews age six years or older were allowed to appear in public only when wearing the Jewish star. [MORE] In a white supremacy system there is no need for any such star - you are targeted by your skin color - because you are non-white.] 

4th Amendment is Just a Piece of Paper to Blacks & Latinos [believe in it at your own risk]. The following only applies to white folks: 

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. Lol.  

Same week Alton Sterling & Philando Castile were killed, a white man pointed a shotgun at white cops and lived [whites treat each other humanely]

All in their Family. From [HERE] In the same week two black men, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were shot and killed by police in Louisiana and Minnesota allegedly because both men were armed, a white man who aimed his shotgun at passing motorists and officers in Raleigh, North Carolina, was taken into custody unharmed.

Raleigh police responded to a report last Tuesday, the News & Observer reported, that William Ray, 62, was pointing a shotgun at people as they drove by. As officers approached Ray, Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison told reporters last week, he became “belligerent” and raised his weapon. Donnie Farmer, a deputy at the scene, was able to push the barrel of Ray’s gun away. Ray then told officers, “I got something for you,” before pulling a second gun, a pistol, from his pocket. Farmer then hit Ray’s hand as the pistol fired. No one was injured.

“He had been drinking,” Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison told reporters. “He definitely had been drinking.” 

Ray was charged with assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm and damage to property. His lawyer told the court he may be suffering from a mental illness, according to local news reports.

Ray’s encounter with police was a stark contrast to that of Sterling and Castile: Philando Castile was reaching for his wallet to retrieve his driver’s license, as instructed, when he was shot four times and killed by Officer Jeronimo Yanez. Alton Sterling was selling CDs outside a convenience store before being pushed to the ground, tasered, and then shot to death by officers. Ray aimed two weapons at police officers, firing at least once—officers did not return fire, and Ray is alive. [MORE]

Psychopathic Racial Personality. As protests unfolded around the country last week for Sterling and Castile’s deaths, many held up Ray’s case as example of how dramatic a role race can play in interactions with police. Specifically and according to Dr. Bobby Wright, 'by and large whites treat each other humanely but racists function as psychopaths in their relations with non-whites.  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.' 

'Psychopaths know the difference between right and wrong but '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] 

Obama, wtf do dead police in Dallas have to do with Police Brutality? ['Killing blacks is necessary to make whites feel safe.']

"We are not divided as we seem." Obama has forgotten the context that he is in (system of white supremacy). Neely Fuller has explained that "Most white people hate Black people. The reason that most white people hate Black people is because whites are not Black people. If you know this about white people, you need know little else. If you do not know this about white people, virtually all else that you know about them will only confuse you."

You would think there were two juxtaposed extremist positions with most people in the middle; 1) those who are pro-police brutality and 2) those who want to kill cops. But as we have seen over the past week in the white media, most whites seem to be good with police brutality - so long as it is against Blacks & Latinos. The racist psychopathic logic emerging is 'police brutality against Black people is justified or ok because Dallas cops were killed allegedly by some ex-military Black man who was mad at white cops', 'Blacks & Latinos are inherently criminal so kill them before we get killed and 'killing blacks is necessary to make us feel safe.'

The media then contrasts the cop killings in Dallas to people protesting their own oppression - getting shot to death by cops because they were Black with red shirt on at store or had a 'wide nose' reaching for wallet. As if Black people who are against this conduct are necessarily also pro-death to cops. This is racial idiocy at its finest.  

White people's racist logic is not just stupid projection. White folks have the power to create a reality for us; a system of white supremacy or white collective power where they control all areas of human activity and all important resources.  Why are most white cops who kill Blacks and Latinos not convicted? What is White Collective Power? When a white police officer shoots a Black man and their fellow white officers, white police chief, white run union, white jurors, white prosecutors, white lawmakers and the white media support, defend, and finance the officers “right” to kill a non-white person. [MORE] and [MORE]

When white folks play this role they are upholders of the White Supremacy Dynamic or racists. Dr. Blynd defines this as;

Racists - upholders, supporters and perpetrators of the institution of the White Supremacy Dynamic. An often misunderstood term confusing bigotry (personal dislike of a clan of men and women) with that of a system of oppression (structured and perpetuated injustice--racism) by merchants and slavers (Corporate state and their bastard, equally fictitious but deadly offspring, megacorporations). See: Bigot, Corporate State, Corporations & Person). [MORE]

White Atlanta Cop Fired. But Not Charged with Murder. "Fired his gun without really knowing who was in the car" [knew he was black; so do white prosecutors]

From [HERE] Channel 2 Action News has confirmed the Atlanta Police Department has fired a white officer, James Burns who was involved in the deadly shooting of Deravis Caine Rogers, a black man. Rogers, who was unarmed, was shot June 22 by the white cop as he tried to drive away from a northeast Atlanta apartment complex.

An internal investigation revealed that the officer, whose name was released on Monday as James R. Burns, violated APD policy. The policy says the force has to be “reasonable and necessary” to shoot into a fleeing vehicle.

“The force used was ruled excessive because there was no obvious threat made toward the officer,” said Sgt. Warren Pickard, an APD spokesman told the AJC.

"We know the officer did not ID the person in the vehicle" Sgt. Warren Pickard said.  It all unfolded on June 22 in the parking lot of Monroe Place apartments off of Piedmont Road.

This all started when an off-duty officer working security at this apartment complex called in for backup when he spotted a man breaking into a car. 

When Burns arrived on scene, he said he spotted Deravis Caine Rogers.

According to the officer, Rogers jumped into a car and tried to drive away when he opened fire and shot Rogers in the head. 

Police said the evidence suggests the officer fired his gun without really knowing who was in the car and when he opened fire, he violated the department's policy.

"The person was already in the car when the officer arrived on the scene. The vehicle was already in motion,” Pickard said.

While Rogers' family said it's happy the officer was fired, they said they won't be satisfied until he's charged with murder.

Shot Ten Times. Body Cam Video Kept Secret. At 0:29 Alva put his hands striaght up in the air and turns around so that his back is to the cops. Then he is shot to death 10 times.

From [HERE] Another black man was shot and killed by white cops in Texas early Saturday morning. Houston Police said Alva Braziel was waving a gun around and pointed it at them when they opened fire. But surveillance footage from a nearby gas station suggests otherwise. [killer cops also tell lies]. 

The video, which began circulating Saturday night on Twitter, shows Braziel walk out toward an intersection. When the squad car arrives, he appears to put his hands in the air and turn around, standing still for a few seconds before police shoot him.

Both officers involved reportedly had body cameras on them, but the footage has not yet been released.

Why the Fuck is the Cop Talking to the Passenger [Philando Castile] During a Broken Tailight Stop?

question: Why is Trigger Happy Cop Standing on the passenger side of the car Asking the Passenger Questions Unrelated to the Stop for a Broken Taillight?

answer: Because passenger is Black and he is in a system of white supremacy. Unless Minnesota statutes require a passenger in a vehicle to carry a driver's license or another form of identification, demanding (passenger) Philando Castile to display his identification was probably an illegal seizure within the meaning of the 4th Amendment - as it is applied to white people. Since nothing the passenger did attributed to the liability of the driver for the broken taillight there is no legal basis to demand identification. In general passengers are free to refuse to provide identifying information. [MORE] White passengers that is.  

Once a lawful traffic stop has been made, it is certainly proper for the officer then to engage in "questioning the driver about the traffic violation," although often, as in this case, the officer's prior observations will have obviated the need for any interrogation to establish the existence of the traffic infraction.

question: Why is this frightened cop asking so many questions during a broken tailight stop and How Long Can a Traffic Stop Last For?

answer: Because the occupants are Black and they are in a system of white supremacy the stop can last forever and most judges and prosecutors will careless about it. What the fuck does the officer have to talk about during a taillight stop? He saw the taillight broke. No Investigation necessary. So no questions necessary. Check the driver's permit (so others remain safe on the road), give her the ticket & go fight real crime. In strict accordance with Terry v. Ohio, the Supreme Court has ruled that questioning during a traffic stop must be limited to the purpose of the traffic stop and thus may not be extended to other subjects. LOL. This rule is clearly only applicable to white folks and definitely rarely applied to Blacks & Latinos at night.

For whites the Supreme Court made it "clear" (i) that "an investigative detention must be temporary and last no longer than is necessary to effectuate the purpose of the stop," and also (ii) that "the investigative methods employed should be the least intrusive means reasonably available to verify or dispel the officer's suspicion in a short period of time." That is, the prosecution bears the burden of establishing that the stop was "sufficiently limited in scope and duration." [MORE]

In video above the Minnesota race soldier investigated and questioned passenger Mr. Castile for the rest of his lifetime. Why? 

As a part of the "routine traffic stop" in a white supremacy system, cops subject Black & Latino travelers to a criminal-history and outstanding-warrants records check on the driver and passengers; we are closely questioned about our identities, the reason for our travels, our intended destinations, and the like, and may be quizzed as to whether we have drugs on our persons or in the vehicle. The Black driver may be induced to submit to a full search of the vehicle, or a drug-sniffing dog may appear on the scene and check your car. The cops are often close to you, smelling you, your breath, looking at anything they can see in your car. Even compliant Blacks like Mr. Castille can be murdered anytime, anyplace in this racist system of vast unequal power.

1) Black Man 2) Red Shirt 3) At Store: Did White Cops Have a Lawful Basis to Stop Alton Sterling? [we are all Targeted - no need for details such as height, weight, build, complexion, age, hair length, hair style, etc]

Public Enemy. Although few particulars have been released - according to Baton Rouge police at an unknown time an anonymous man called 911 to report that a black man selling music CD’s outside the Triple S Food Mart on North Foster Drive, who was wearing a red shirt and had threatened him with a gun. Apparently when the man called he was no longer in any danger. Evidently, the caller gave no other information. So, the white cops were looking for a Black man with a red shirt hanging around the store. The black man had allegedly committed a felony threat and may have been armed (gun possession is legal in Louisiana). [MORE]  

When the two officers arrived about 12:35 a.m. at the store the 911 caller was not present. On seeing a black man (Sterling) with a red shirt the cops immediately confronted Mr. Sterling and ordered him to stop and answer questions. Sterling stopped. At that time he was not free to go which means he was legally detained or seized [within the meaning of the 4th Amendment]. 

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. 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. With regard to an anonymous tip, the Supremes have said that apart from the tip the officers must have a reason[s] or facts to suspect an individual of illegal conduct AND police must have predictive information that can be corroborated. [MORE] and [MORE]. The Court has specifically said that an anonymous tip about alleged gun possession by itself will not justify a stop and frisk. [MORE]

In evaluating the legality of the stop all that matters is what the cops knew and what they saw at the time of the stop; that is, the first hand knowledge the police had in the present moment of the stop. A court will only consider what an officer observed or knew at the time of the stop. What cops subsequently learned from records checks, court records or from the media is not relevant to a 4th Amendment analysis. 

Here, the police acted on the basis of an anonymous complaint who had no personal face to face contact with police. Cops had no basis to know whether the information was reliable or honest. Prior to engaging Sterling, the cops did not talk to anyone else on the scene, such as the store manager (the owner of the store had no knowledge of an argument outside his store that led to the initial 911 call.). The cops had no idea of whether anyone else had heard the alleged threats or had seen a gun. They also had no information about the gun to know whether the caller saw an actual gun or just heard a threat about a gun. 

Upon approach the cops did not see a firearm or a funny bulge in the pants and Sterling did not make any unsual or threatening moves. Importantly, no emergency was going on, the victim was not present and Sterling was not engaged in criminal activity when cops arrived. Apparently when the police approached Sterling he did not run, back up or hide anything. In other words there was no consciousness of guilt. The cops also did not witness any predictive conduct based on information the caller provided - that is, apparently the police did not see Sterling selling any CD's or arguing with anyone. 

The information that was corroborated involved only innocent conduct - 1) black man - 2) with red shirt - 3) at store. Such information was also endlessly vague b/c it could fit the description of countless people each and any day. That is, the police had no other details from the anonymous caller such as height, weight, build, complexion, age, hair length, hair style, distinguishing characteristics, etc. At the time of the initial stop by cops, Sterling was not free to go and the cops had no warrant - based on this limited info and all the surrounding circumstances, this initial stop was unlawful within the meaning of the 4th Amendment. [And when the white cop tackled Sterling he was clearly under arrest. At that point in time what crime did the cops observe him commit - what was he under arrest for?]  

However, in reality such rules rarely apply to Blacks & Latinos. The 4th Amendment is just words on paper to us. In the system of white supremacy white prosecutors, judges and other governmental servants ratify or enable police conduct that amounts to various movement restrictions and identification measures. Basically, in a racist system of vast unequal power the Government can stop Blacks & Latinos whenever they want to. To whites, the means justify the result -  which is the opposite of purpose of the 4th Amendment. Cops would never get away with with doing this shit to white folks.

Mind as the Mediator. A mind that is filled with belief is a mind which can project anything according to that belief.' [pdf] White folks see what they want to see when Blacks are in sight. [Racist whites view Black males as inherently criminal and engage in various forms of self deception when they are in the presence of people of color.] The bullshit in their minds prevents them from seeing what is real. Would the white cops have this kind of reaction formation to a white man wearing a red shirt?  When those white cops saw Sterling and when many whites watch the videos no doubt they see a Black male - which to them is external phenomenon that triggers jealously, hatred and fear. The mere presence of a Black male is enough to water these seeds of anger and ignorance that are just below the surface with whites. These 2 white cops, fellow white cops, white prosecutors, white puppeticians running for office, white controlled media and white judges & jurors will see what they want to see in order to justify a white cop's right to practice white supremacy/racism. 

Looks Like Alton Sterling was Murdered: US Justification Department will blah blah blah [in Racist System You Can Be Legally Executed Anytime, Anyplace by White Cops]

Gun Control=Guns Only for Cops? White Cops Won't Confirm Whether He Had Gun. Refuse to Release their Video. Fingerprints? From [HERE] and [HERE] The Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation on Wednesday into the fatal shooting of a black man by the Baton Rouge police that was captured on video, as city and state leaders appealed to a city roiled by the killing to remain calm.

Two white officers were arresting Alton B. Sterling, 37, early Tuesday, and had him pinned to the ground when at least one of them shot him. There were indications that Mr. Sterling might have had a gun, but officials refused to say definitively whether he was armed. [ Why not confirm such a simple fact? Persons unconscious enough to murder also might tell lies or plant evidence.] 

The episode was partially captured on video. However, police confiscated the store’s surveillance footage that the store owner said would have captured every second of the violent death outside his store.

The shooting prompted protests, and relatives of Mr. Sterling, civic leaders and state lawmakers demanded an investigation independent of the Baton Rouge police.

“I have full confidence that this matter will be investigated thoroughly, impartially and professionally,” Gov. John Bel Edwards said in announcing the federal takeover of the case. “I have very serious concerns. The video is disturbing, to say the least.” Edwards is also white and he is a Democrat.

Officials identified the two officers as Blane Salamoni, who has been with the Police Department for four years, and Howie Lake II, with three years’ experience; both have been placed on administrative leave.

Mr. Salamoni is the son of Noel Salamoni, a captain in the department who is in charge of special operations, a fact that may have factored into the decision to turn matters over to the Justice Department. His mother, Melissa Salamoni, is a retired Baton Rouge police captain. [MORE]

The officers, who were interviewed Wednesday, both said they “believe they were completely justified in using deadly force,” East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore said at a press conference. Moore is also white. 

Searching for Justification. Local and state officials endorsed that the federal takeover of the case. ”We feel it is in the best interest of the Baton Rouge Police Department, the city of Baton Rouge and this community for this to happen,” the police chief, Carl Dabadie Jr., said. He is also white. 

There are multiple videos that may show the conflict with Mr. Sterling, in addition to the one recorded by a bystander that has been made public, Lt. Jonny Dunham, a Baton Rouge Police Department spokesman, said at a news conference. Mr. Jordan, the family lawyer, called on the police to release the videos, but Lieutenant Dunham said that for now, the department was providing them only to the federal authorities.

“We have in-car camera video footage, we have body camera video footage and there is video at the store,” Lieutenant Dunham said. Of the recordings from the body cameras the officers wore, he said: “That footage may not be as good as we hoped for. During the altercation those body cameras came dislodged.”

On Tuesday, a person called the police to report that a black man selling music CD’s outside the Triple S Food Mart on North Foster Drive, who was wearing a red shirt, had threatened him with a gun, the Police Department said. Two officers arrived and confronted him about 12:35 a.m.

In the cellphone video shot by a bystander Sterling was standing alone, his arms outstretched at his sides, when a police officer rushing Mr. Sterling onto the hood of the car and then tackling him to the ground. A second cop quickly joined and, moments later, Sterling lay bleeding to death from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and back.

He did not fight. He made no threats. He is dead and his young children are fatherless.

The store owner, Abdullah Muflahi, said he had known “the CD man” for six years and allowed him to sell his wares in front of the store. “They told him not to move,” Muflahi said, according to CNN. “He was asking them what he did wrong.”

As Sterling stood in the darkness with his arms outstretched at his sides, Muflahi said he saw an officer slam him onto the hood of a car. Both officers attempted to pin him to the ground. Sterling stumbled, but did not fight back.

[Looking for an Excuse.] “If you fucking move, I swear to God,” one cop was heard saying. At one point someone on the video can be heard saying, “He’s got a gun! Gun!” and one officer can be seen pulling his weapon. After some shouting, what sounds like gunshots can be heard and the camera shifts away.

The police have not said whether Mr. Sterling had a gun, but witnesses told reporters that they saw a handgun on the ground next to him [how convenient]. Mr. Jordan, the lawyer, said Mr. Sterling’s relatives were not aware of him owning a gun. 

William Clark, the coroner of East Baton Rouge Parish, said that Mr. Sterling had died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and back. Lieutenant Dunham declined to say whether both officers fired their guns, or if either of them used an electric stun device on Mr. Sterling. No information about fingerprints on the gun or any information about the gun has been released. 

In a Twitter post early Wednesday, the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson called the shooting a “legal lynching.”

Kimberly Lang, who knew Sterling, said she purchased CDs from time to time. And he “did not have a reputation for violence.” According to an Associated Press report, Lang contended that “If Sterling did have a gun on him, it was probably because he feared being robbed while peddling his CDs late at night — not because he was interested in threatening anyone.”

It should be noted that Louisiana is an open carry state. Possession of a firearm without a permit is permissible under state law, by anyone who is at least 17 years of age legally able to possess a firearm under state and federal law.

Causing traffic jams, lighting candles, praying to jesus or allah, singing songs, speech making and a whole bunch of other activities Blacks and Latinos engage in will never stop white supremacy.
