Florida Prosecutor Angela Corey

She was known nationally for failing to convict Trayvon Martin’s killer, and for prosecuting Marissa Alexander.

 Corey’s resounding loss — Nelson beat her by 38 points — represents the first time a Jacksonville state attorney has lost a contested election in modern history.

By voting out Corey, voters are sending a strong signal—the same one sent to Anita Alvarez, a state attorney in Chicago’s Cook County, in March.

Dale Cox, the notorious district attorney of Caddo Parish in Louisiana, bowed out of his race last year after a national outcry over his use of the death penalty.

These prosecutors were known for being ruthless, and each of them jailed and executed hundreds of black and brown people in their districts.

Perhaps these elections are a sign that criminal-justice reform will come from the grassroots, beginning with the people who are affected, rather than from above.

... Corey is gone, but her damage is not.

I heard an NPR story in their program This American Life about Caddo parish. "Old Times There Are Not Forgotten"

North Dakota becomes first US state to legalise use of armed drones by police

Armed drones could be used by police in the US state of North Dakota after local lawmakers legalised their use.

While they will be limited to “less than lethal” weapons, tear gas, tasers, rubber bullets and pepper spray could all be used in theory by the remote controlled flying machines.

at least 39 people have been killed by police tasers in 2015, according to The Guardian.

The fact that a suspect could potentially be tasered by an officer sitting hundreds of miles away will likely add to the concerns of those who are worried about the militarisation of US police departments.

When Detectives Dismiss Rape Reports Before Investigating Them

Across the country, some police departments claim a vast number of rape reports are false.

A BuzzFeed News investigation into a year of “unfounded” rapes in Baltimore County reveals that detectives often don’t investigate them at all — even when the man had been arrested for rape before.


D. — her alleged rapist — never knew he had been accused. “So why am I just hearing about this?” D. asked. He told BuzzFeed News he couldn’t even remember who E. was, and that he had never raped anyone.

But D. had previously been arrested and charged with first-degree rape. It was four years before E. made her report, and it was in a nearby jurisdiction, in a case that never went to trial. Pierce made no note of it in his report.

Within a year of dropping E.’s case, officers would get another call. About D. From another terrified woman.

---

The Baltimore County Police Department is one of a number of law enforcement agencies nationwide with an alarming record of dismissing rape cases, according to a BuzzFeed News analysis of FBI statistics.

These departments routinely mark an extraordinary percentage of rape allegations as false or baseless — “unfounded.”

DNA Dragnet: In Some Cities, Police Go From Stop-and-Frisk to Stop-and-Spit

Police in Florida and other states are building up private DNA databases, in part by collecting voluntary samples from people not charged with — or even suspected of — any particular crime.

Over the last decade, collecting DNA from people who are not charged with — or even suspected of — any particular crime has become an increasingly routine practice for police in smaller cities not only in Florida, but in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and North Carolina as well.

While the largest cities typically operate public labs and feed DNA samples into the FBI’s national database,

cities like Melbourne have assembled databases of their own, often in partnership with private labs that offer such fast, cheap testing that police can afford to amass DNA even to investigate minor crimes, from burglary to vandalism.

And to compile samples for comparison, some jurisdictions also have quietly begun asking people to turn over DNA voluntarily during traffic stops, or even during what amount to chance encounters with police.

In Melbourne, riding a bike at night without two functioning lights can lead to DNA swab — even if the rider is a minor.

“In Florida law, basically, if we can ask consent, and if they give it, we can obtain it,” said Cmdr. Heath Sanders, the head of investigations at the Melbourne Police Department.

“We’re not going to be walking down the street and asking a five-year-old to stick out his tongue.

That’s just not reasonable. But’s let’s say a kid’s 15, 16 years old, we can ask for consent without the parents.”

Protests Planned In Over 20 States To Expose ‘Slave-Like’ Conditions In U.S. Prisons

Thousands of inmates in state and federal prisons in up to 24 states areplanning an organized strike and protest on Friday — potentially the largest prison strike in U.S. history.

Planned for the anniversary of the Attica Prison riot, the protest aims to bring widespread attention to inhumane living conditions, “slave-like” labor, and daily injustices that plague the shadowy cell-blocks of the justice system.

Across the country, it’s common practice for American inmates to be forced to work in “slave-like” conditions, doing long hours of hard labor with little or no compensation, and they’ve had enough.

Though the strike on Friday, as planned, is the largest yet, the national prison work stoppage comes after a long, largely unreported build-up in collective action among America’s prisoners protesting these conditions.

Sandra Bland’s family settles wrongful death lawsuit for $1.9 million

Attorneys for the family of Sandra Bland told a local news outlet that they settled a wrongful death suit with the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Waller County jail for $1.9 million.

The Waller County jail will pay the bulk due to state statutes capping settlements with the Department of Public Safety. WTF?

Also included in the wrongful death settlement were conditions requiring the Waller County jail to implement safety procedures that may have saved 28-eight-year-old Bland’s life.

She started the night drinking at home — and ended it in a restraint chair being pepper-sprayed

By the time Amber Swink was strapped into a restraint chair in an isolation cell, she had already been pepper-sprayed once.

Barely able to open her eyes as she struggled inside a seven-point harness at the Montgomery County Jail in Dayton, Ohio, Swink could hear deputies laughing.

Moments later, for reasons the 25-year-old said she still doesn’t understand, Sgt. Judith L. Sealey approached the chair and fired a burst of pepper spray into Swink’s face at point-blank range.

Swink had been arrested during a night of heavy drinking at her home that evening.

Swink admits that she was still somewhat intoxicated at the time but recalled that the pain was nearly unbearable as her face was coated with oleoresin capsi .

Jailhouse video appears to match Swink’s description of the Nov. 15, 2015, incident.

In the four-minute clip captured by a camera in the isolation cell, Swink can be seen struggling and coughing; she appears to pass out after her face is covered with a bright orange substance.

Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer said Tuesday that he hadn’t viewed the video footage, but he acknowledged that Swink was pepper-sprayed while restrained, violating his department’s use-of-force protocol.

He called it “an isolated incident.”

Black Wisconsin inmate’s death by dehydration ruled a homicide




The death of a mentally ill black man who reportedly begged for drinking water while jailed in Milwaukee and died of dehydration has been ruled a homicide, a county medical examiner said on Thursday.

Terrill Thomas, 38, was found dead on April 24, nine days after he was arrested on su ion of shooting a man at a casino, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office said.

Thomas had bipolar disorder and was being held in solitary confinement based on the nature of the charge against him and his behavior in jail, the medical examiner’s office said.

The Journal Sentinel newspaper reported in July that inmates near Thomas had heard him beg for water days before his death and saw that the water faucet in his cell had been shut off.

clinton said blacks were super predators

That's nothing; Trump took out full page ads to advocate for the return on the death penalty in response to five minorities (4 black, 1 Hispanic) being arrested in the Central Park Rape Case. He was criticize for turning the city against the suspects and stoking racial animosity.

When all five were exonerated due to DNA evidence, he demanded they be retried (for no reason apparently). After the city paid out $41 million to the five for falsely accusing them and convicting each of them, he then harshly criticized the city for doing so.

Clinton apologized for her comments when confronted, Trump never owned up to stupidity.

... not as threats, but as targets. Threat is lie the cops tell after they've murdered their target.

Cops shot a kid the other day with a pistol BB gun.

no video, no witnesses, so the cops said he pulled the gun on them so they shot him dead.

From the copter it sounds like he was not supposed to walk back to his car.

But for Christ sakes they shoot him and taser him at the same time? Protocol?
At least they did release the video.
But the cops need to tell the public something like he was told "sir, hands up, down on your knees, if you go back to your car we assume you will be trying to get a weapon. Please stop sir. Please stop sir"

I've heard stories about Tulsa before about their being a big race issue (not including the obvious, such as the 1919 race war where Whites burned down black Wallstreet). This is the second time in two years where and unarmed black man in Tusla has been shot and killed on video and the video has gone viral. The first time was when a 70+ year old reserve sheriff (he wasn't properly trained and essentially payed to be on the police force because of his donations to the department) accidentally shot and killed a man while attempting to pull out his taser.

Crutcher’s attorney has a razor-sharp retort after cops say they found PCP in dead man’s SUV

Shelby’s attorney maintains that Shelby fired her weapon at Crutcher because he was reaching inside his car to grab something.

However, the police discovered after the shooting that Crutcher was unarmed, and one of Shelby’s fellow officers fired his taser gun at the same time she opened fire.

Crutcher family attorney Benjamin Crump called that “misinformation,” saying that video showed the vehicle’s window was not open.

“Don’t put out stuff that would demonize him and try to make him look like as if he was doing something nefarious. Put the entire story up,” Crump said.

Crump told Tulsa World that even if Crutcher had used PCP that night, it still didn’t justify the use of lethal force.
“If we started to condemn everybody to death just because they have drugs in their system, all our neighborhoods would be empty,” he said.

FL police chief facing harassment claims from lesbian officers kept on job because ‘people love him’

On Monday, Mayor Kent Guinn said that because he trusts Graham, he would be allowed to remain on duty while a Tallahassee-based law firm investigates the allegations against him, though he would be barred from discussing the complaint with the three officers who filed it.

Guinn also complained that the allegations have hurt morale within the department.

“Their chief has been attacked,” said the mayor. “The chief is well respected in this community and this police department. People like him, people love him and when he’s attacked, it hurts.”
