Ohio Cop Pulls Over Black Man Who 'Made Direct Eye Contact' With Him
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0b7a96338e614

"It’s just awareness that this stuff still happens in 2015."

Earlier this month, a police officer in Dayton, Ohio, tailed a man by the name of John Felton for two miles, then pulled him over for failing to use a turn signal 100 feet prior to making his turn. To be clear: Felton used a turn signal, but he apparently didn't put it on early enough.

Only after handing over a written warning did the officer acknowledge the real reason he'd pulled over Felton, a black man who was driving a car with out-of-state plates: He had "made direct eye contact" with the officer.

The Dayton Police Department confirmed the incident in a statement emailed to The Huffington Post on Friday, and acknowledged that "making direct eye contact with an officer" is not a legitimate reason to be stopped.

"The Dayton Police Department is a true partner in the community and enjoys a positive community-police relationship," the statement said. "The Dayton Police Department is in contact with Mr. Felton. He has agreed to a conversation with the officer, facilitated by the Dayton Mediation Center. This will allow Mr. Felton and the Officer to discuss the specifics of the incident."

Felton captured the absurd interaction on camera, then shared the video on Facebook page.

"This is why I hate coming to Dayton," he wrote in the caption. "He had no grounds for following/trailing me other than seeing an Infiniti with Michigan plates. His reason? 'I gave him direct eye contact while passing him.'"

Watch Felton's video, which contains adult language, below.

fter a bit of back and forth, Felton tells the officer he's using his cell phone to record the conversation and insists he had used his turn signal.

"You did signal," the officer clarifies. "You just didn't do it 100 feet prior to your turn."

"You just needed a reason to pull me over, sir," Felton responds, handing over his license and registration. "Is there a reason you pulled me over other than that?"

"Jesus Christ, this is so childish," he adds, speaking to himself.

The officer walks away, then returns a short time later with a written warning for the infraction.

"No disrespect, I don't have anything against police officers," Felton tells the officer, "but all the **** that's going on now, that's some scary **** to have a police officer just trailing you. ... Why were you trailing me?"

"Because you made direct eye contact with me and held onto it while I was passing you," he replies. "If you want to keep talking about it, I'll just give you a citation for the violation and we can take it to court. I'm not going to argue about it anymore."

In an interview with Dayton TV station ABC 22/FOX 45, Felton, who lives in Detroit, said he felt targeted as soon as he saw the officer's car.

"I have a nice car, I don’t know if he’d seen me as a black male, but I feel like I was targeted. Being a Michigan car and it was about 11 at night," he said. "I’m not your stereotypical black male that a lot of people have in mind. It’s just awareness that this stuff still happens in 2015."

“If one adjusts for the racial disparity in the homicide rate or the rate at which police are feloniously killed, whites are actually more likely to be killed by police than blacks,” said Mr. Moskos (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/safari-reader://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/peter-moskos/), a former Baltimore cop and author of the book “Cop in the Hood.”
“Adjusted for the homicide rate, whites are 1.7 times more likely than blacks die at the hands of police,” he said. “Adjusted for the racial disparity at which police are feloniously killed, whites are 1.3 times more likely than blacks to die at the hands of police.”

I call bullshit. There are no reliable statistics for police involved killings.

I call bullshit. There are no reliable statistics for police involved killings.

That's nice dear.

"As researchers are quick to point out, FBI data on police shootings by race is notoriously incomplete, which may explain why Peter Moskos (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/peter-moskos/), assistant professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York, decided to use figures from the website Killed by Police.

Based on that data, Mr. Moskos (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/peter-moskos/) reported that roughly 49 percent of those killed by officers from May 2013 to April 2015 were white, while 30 percent were black. He also found that 19 percent were Hispanic and 2 percent were Asian and other races.
His results, posted last week on his blog Cop in the Hood, arrived with several caveats, notably that 25 percent of the website’s data, which is drawn largely from news reports, failed to show the race of the person killed.
Killed by Police lists every death, justified or not, including those in which the officer had been wounded or acted in self-defense.
“The data doesn’t indicate which shootings are justified (the vast majority) and which are cold-blooded murder (not many, but some). And maybe that would vary by race. I don’t know, but I doubt it,” Mr. Moskos (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/peter-moskos/) said on his blog."

Adjusted to take into account the racial breakdown of the U.S. population, he said black men are 3.5 times more likely to be killed by police than white men. But also adjusted to take into account the racial breakdown in violent crime, the data actually show that police are less likely to kill black suspects than white ones.
“If one adjusts for the racial disparity in the homicide rate or the rate at which police are feloniously killed, whites are actually more likely to be killed by police than blacks,” said Mr. Moskos (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/peter-moskos/), a former Baltimore cop and author of the book “Cop in the Hood.”
“Adjusted for the homicide rate, whites are 1.7 times more likely than blacks die at the hands of police,” he said. “Adjusted for the racial disparity at which police are feloniously killed, whites are 1.3 times more likely than blacks to die at the hands of police.”
Mr. Moskos (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/peter-moskos/) listed two possible reasons for the racial disparity. The first is that police assigned to largely black neighborhoods face “more political fallout when they shoot, and thus receive better training and are less inclined to shoot.”
The second is that police assigned to black communities with high crime rates are more accustomed to dangerous situations and thus are more likely to be able to resolve them without resort to lethal force.

Yes the FBI's stats are incomplete, that is why they weren't used.

(May,2013-April, 2015)
"About half the victims were white, half minority. But the demographics shifted sharply among the unarmed victims, two-thirds of whom were black or Hispanic. Overall, blacks were killed at three times the rate of whites or other minorities when adjusting by the population of the census tracts where the shootings occurred. "

http://www.washingtonpost.com/nation...d4e_story.html (http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/fatal-police-shootings-in-2015-approaching-400-nationwide/2015/05/30/d322256a-058e-11e5-a428-c984eb077d4e_story.html)

That post is six months old and doesn't include the murder of Duboise in Cincinnati, among other unarmed blacks.

https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_1484w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2015/05/30/National-Enterprise/Graphics/police_01.jpg?uuid=jmzv4gcmEeWT9PJNSvf5fQ

Washington Post compared the victims by race to the census and they found at least 63% were minorities of 2/3rds unarmed victims were black or Hispanic.
I actually went through and tried to tally the ethnicity of the unarmed people killed by police

2015 stats

Black-25
White-14
Hispanic-14
Other-8

http://www.washingtonpost.com/graphi...ice-shootings/ (http://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings/)

According to this site, I found those stats.

Whites outnumber Blacks and Hispanics 53% to 13% and 17%
but made up only 23% of unarmed killings. Blacks made up 41% while Hispanics made up 23%

http://www.vox.com/2015/4/10/8382457...ootings-racism (http://www.vox.com/2015/4/10/8382457/police-shootings-racism)

"An analysis of the available FBI Data Shows that US police kill black people at disproportionate rates: Black people accounted for 31 percent of police shooting victims in 2012, even though they made up just 13 percent of the US population."

A Surreptitious Courtroom Video Prompts Changes in a Georgia Town

one surreptitious video in a small-town Georgia court has led to an overhaul of court practices there. The video showed the judge threatening to jail traffic violators who could not come up with an immediate payment toward their fines.

“You can pay what you have, you can call whoever you need to call, go to an A.T.M. if you need to, do what you need to do,” Judge Richard A. Diment of Bowdon Municipal Court said to one defendant. “Call friends, call family, call your employer. But until you get $300 here tonight, you won’t be able to leave.” The defendant said she had recently begun working at a supermarket and had $150 with her.

To another defendant, a man who said he had been unemployed for two years and received food stamps, Judge Diment said: “You’re going to have to figure out a way to get this paid, do you understand me? Or you’re going to go to jail. One or the other. You understand?”

Neither defendant had a lawyer.

The United States Supreme Court has held that people cannot be jailed for failing to make a payment if they are unable to pay, but advocates for indigent defendants say that in many jurisdictions, meaningful assessments of ability to pay are rare. In Georgia, poor defendants are supposed to have access to a court-appointed lawyer if they face jail or probation.

“The practice that we see here is one that happens in courts around the state, and it shows an overzealousness to collect fines and fees at the expense of basic fairness,”

Aggressive levying of fines and fees, backed up by the threat of incarceration, was identified as a source of the frustration that led to days of unrest in Ferguson, Mo., after a white police officer killed an unarmed black man last year (http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/ferguson_police_department_report.pdf). Ferguson relied on court fines and fees to supply a fifth of its budget.

After she posted the initial video, Ms. Hentzien said, she and her daughter were caught videotaping at another court date, and their phones were taken and the new videos were deleted on the spot.

Ms. Hentzien said she had been recording the proceedings in part because the court had not responded to her repeated requests for transcripts. The Southern Center for Human Rights was also unable to obtain court recordings or transcripts, though the court is required by law to keep them. Under the new order, the court agreed to keep records of its proceedings.

Well aware of this. Unarmed killings aren't an official stat kept by the but at least three different sources gave essentially the same figures. Each scoured news reports, and official press releases to come to that number. There have been at least 62 unarmed people killed in 9 months of 2015. 25 Black (40% of victims), 15 Hispanic (25% of victims), 14 White (22.5% of victims) , 8 others (13 percent of victims).

Even if that number were actually ,say, 82 and the additional 20 victims race broke down similar to the census population percentages of those three races (53% White, 13% Black, 17% Hispanic)...

Blacks-27 (33%) +2
Whites-24 (29%) +10
Hispanics-18 (22%) +4

Blacks would still make up 1/3 of all unarmed victims. Black and Hispanics would make up 53% of all victim and the largest racial group wouldn't even crack 30 %. The Data may not be kept at a federal level but it still shows blacks and Hispanics make up a wildly disproportionate percentage of unarmed victims at the hands of the police.

If you don't trust police involved killing data then why come back at me with your stats? Seems like you didn't have a comeback and decided to drop the "federal mandate" card.

Because They Lack Crucial Training, These Cops Severely Beat a Blind Autistic Teen Unconscious

On his way home, an encounter with the police left the teen beaten and unconscious.

The family of an autistic teen is speaking out after he was violently arrested, and rendered unconscious by Metro Transit Police while traveling home after working at the Minnesota State Fair. Marcus Abrams is an apprentice with Urban Boatbuilders, a youth organization, and had been exhibiting his work at the Minnesota State Fair. On his way home, an encounter with the police left the teen beaten and unconscious.

During the incident, Abrams, 17, suffered two seizures after police used force against him at the Green Line’s Lexington Parkway Station. The attack resulted in a split lip and lacerations on his face and head, according to his mother,

The teen suffers from Asperger’s syndrome, which causes him to strongly dislike being touched or having people in his person space, and is considered legally blind, wearing extremely magnified glasses, according to Caldwell.

Caldwell said that upon approaching her son it should have been plainly obvious to the officers that her son had disabilities.

“If they had training with dealing with an autistic child or someone like an Alzheimer’s patient … it would seem they would have known how to handle him better than they did,” Caldwell told the Pioneer Press (http://www.twincities.com/crime/ci_28744662/disabled-17-year-old-beaten-by-metro-transit) on Wednesday.

Abrams was standing on the train tracks moments before police approached him. When police initially approached, the teen was wearing headphones and couldn’t hear everything police said, with officers then accusing him of using drugs or being intoxicated.

“One grabbed my arm and the other one grabbed my wrist and I told them to get off me — I did nothing wrong,” Abrams told KARE 11. “They just slammed me right on the ground. I tried to get them off me and (one officer had his) whole body on my whole face and I couldn’t breathe.”

Police Chief responds to a discrimination lawsuit by pretending like he's a monkey

"Chief Hoover then began to act like a monkey. Chief Hoover placed his hands in his armpits and began scratching them. Chief Hoover also started making loud monkey sounds: “Hooo...hooo.....hooo....hahahaha...hooo.....haaah ” While Chief Hoover was scratching and chanting, he started to move around the room, in a dance or jumping fashion. While jumping and moving about the room Chief Hoover momentarily beat his chest like Tarzan."

Cops retired and the mayor thanks him for his years of service while the cop who turned him in is treated like a traitor by the community.

"For his part, Officer Stone says he’s been harassed other Clatskanie residents since filing the report.

“I’ve already faced a lot of retaliation, my wife’s been forced off the road twice,“I’ve had people in the community yelling the N-word at me.”

American police are 300% more likely to kill themselves than be shot and killed by someone else (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/04/1418344/-American-police-are-300-more-likely-to-kill-themselves-than-be-shot-killed-by-someone-else)

As conservatives spread lies (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/02/1417623/-To-be-clear-the-number-of-police-officers-shot-killed-is-down-this-year-and-1-2-killed-are-Black) blaming the Black Lives Matter movement for the recent deaths of police officers, the greatest safety risk to police is all but being ignored publicly: suicide.In 2013, the last year on public record, 126 police officers committed suicide (http://www.tnonline.com/2013/oct/29/suicide-rate-higher-among-cops).

"Suicides can happen in any profession, but they occur 1.5 times more frequently in law enforcement compared to the general population," psychiatric nurse Pamela Kulbarsh wrote in an Oct. 9 article for Officer.com."Quite truthfully, the actual rate is probably higher as law enforcement suicides are more likely to be underreported or misclassified as accidental deaths. This misclassification usually occurs to protect the family, other survivors, or the agency from the stigma of suicide," she wrote.

Compare that to 47 police officers who were shot and killed in 2014 (https://www.odmp.org/search/year?year=2014) or the 43 that are predicted to be shot and killed this year, and it's increasingly clear that people who love police officers and want to see them do well in life should seriously consider focusing on their mental health.

The car burst into flames; shots were exchanged; schools were shut down as investigators combed the area for what they believed was an armed and dangerous suspect.The problem? It was not true, according to Millis police.

At a press conference Thursday, Millis police Sgt. William Dwyer said the incident had been fabricated. The patrolman, a 24-year-old part time officer, made up the account, Dwyer said.

Cops Mistake Neurological Disorder for Insanity; Kidnap, Strip-Search, and Jail Man for Days

He was handcuffed to a table, diagnosed as having “mental health issues" and jailed.

In response to a Fourth Amendment lawsuit filed by attorneys for the Rutherford Institute, government officials insist they had “probable cause” to arrest a 37-year-old disabled man, allegedly because of his slurred speech and unsteady gait.

Gordon Goines, a resident of Waynesboro, Va., who suffers from a neurological condition similar to multiple sclerosis, was then strip searched by police, handcuffed to a table, diagnosed as having “mental health issues,” and subsequently locked up for five days in a mental health facility against his will and with no access to family and friends.

Disputing the assertions of the Valley Community Services Board (VCSB), one of its mental health screeners and three police officers, Rutherford Institute attorneys have asked the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to reinstate Goines v. Valley Community Services Board, arguing that citizens have a clearly established right to be free from mental health seizures by government officials unless there is compelling evidence justifying seizure.

“By giving government officials the power to declare individuals mentally ill and detain them against their will without first ensuring that they are actually trained to identify such illness, the government has opened the door to a system in which involuntary detentions can be used to make people disappear,” said John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of Battlefield America: The War on the American People (http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-America-War-American-People/dp/1590793099).

Oregon police chief goes on racist tirade calling African Americans monkeys, supports Confederacy (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/08/1419344/-Oregon-police-chief-goes-on-racist-tirade-calling-African-Americans-monkeys-supports-Confederacy)

http://images.dailykos.com/images/163188/large/clatskanie-police-chief-thumb.jpg?1441713049

On June 25, two Clatskanie, Oregon, police officers witnessed something horrific. The fallout from what they witnessed has been just as bad, and the implications reveal that racism runs throughout the city.

According to the city website (http://www.cityofclatskanie.com/), "Clatskanie has been described as a Norman Rockwell picturesque small city nestled in green hills and valleys on the coastal range in northwest Oregon." This comparison, it turns out, is actually highly appropriate because many observers (https://readingrisa.wordpress.com/2011/02/01/did-norman-rockwell-help-foster-racism-in-america/) believe that the bulk of Rockwell's paintings were racist and displayed a white supremacist vision of America in which black folk were perpetually subservient.

Officer Alex Stone, who is white, arrested an African-American woman, one of less than 10 black residents in the town (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clatskanie,_Oregon), on June 25. During the arrest, she told Officer Stone that she was going to sue the department for racism.

When the officer arrived back at the station, he decided, as was standard, to debrief Police Chief Marvin Hoover, also a white man, on the incident. Chief Hoover, mind you, is an award-winning veteran leader of this police department. What followed, and was witnessed by multiple officers, is deeply disturbing.

As Officer Stone was describing his earlier arrest to Chief Hoover, he said to the chief that the woman he arrested said that local police think black people are animals.

At that point, according to multiple eyewitness accounts, the chief interrupted Officer Stone and said, "That's what they are. They're animals."

“Chief Hoover placed his hands in his armpits and began scratching them. Chief Hoover also started making loud monkey sounds: ‘Hooo... hooo..... hooo....hahahaha...

hooo.....haaah. While Chief Hoover was scratching and chanting, he started to move around the room, in a dance or jumping fashion. While jumping and moving about the room Chief Hoover momentarily beat his chest like Tarzan.”

Officer Zack Gibson, who was also there, witnessed the incident and stated:

“Officer Stone brushed aside the antic, but I could observe that it bothered him. At the same time I was in disbelief that the Chief of Police was acting in such a manner while an officer is concerned he may be accused of racism.”

At that point, Chief Hoover doubled down on his racism.

“Chief Hoover then started to sing the words to Dixieland: 'In a land of cotton...old times they’re not forgotten...look away...look away...look away.'As the chief sang the song, he kneeled down and began to make a punching motion with his right fist.

While making a punching motion, Chief Hoover held his left hand in front of him in a gripping motion, as if he was holding a person by the shirt collar. In addition, while singing the words “look away” Chief Hoover moved his head back-and-forth to his left and right as if he was looking over his shoulder.".

The chief then laughed and left the room, but the story gets worse.

When Officer Stone communicated how disturbed he was to his superior, Sergeant McQuiddy, Stone states in his report that McQuiddy "got extremely quiet and unresponsive .. and offered no guidance on filing a complaint." Without the support of his superior, Officers Stone and Gibson contacted their union and local attorneys, who asked them to ask Sgt. McQuiddy to join their complaint one last time. This time, the response was even worse. Officer Stone stated:

Sgt. McQuiddy told me didn't believe anything would happen to Chief Hoover and that the city would make life hell for us for doing this. Sgt. McQuiddy said it would "be hell" at least three times during our last conversation. I almost felt as if I was being dissuaded from pursuing a complaint.

When Officer Gibson spoke to Sgt. McQuiddy on his own about the complaint, the sergeant stated that he was concerned some type of "retaliation" may come, particularly if they told City Manager Greg Hinkelman.Indeed, the retaliation has already started (http://koin.com/2015/09/06/police-chief-compared-african-americans-to-monkeys/) for Officer Stone.

Officer Stone said some members of the community began harassing him after he filed the report against Chief Hoover.“I’ve already faced a lot of retaliation, my wife’s been forced off the road twice,” he explained. “I’ve had people in the community yelling the N-word at me.”

During the investigation of this entire ordeal, Chief Hoover was given a paid vacation before he voluntarily retired.Not surprisingly, the local mayor wrote him a glowing tribute (http://www.thechiefnews.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/article_79f97328-534d-11e5-9045-f73276075ce3.html) in the town newspaper without a single mention of this incident.

During the video, many officers can be heard yelling ‘stop fighting with us.’ This was undoubtedly the officers’ rendition of ‘Stop resisting,’ even though the man was already handcuffed.

While commanding a subdued and handcuffed suspect to stop resisting may seem ridiculous, it is a common tactic used by law enforcement. In June of this year, Officer Mark Magness (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/vidoe-catches-cop-rampage-fellow-cops-stop-torturing-handcuffed-man/) mercilessly pummeled a man who was handcuffed and strapped to a chair while repeatedly yelling ‘stop resisting.’

As the incident unfolds, the officer unleashes a K-9 on the already handcuffed suspect. While the dog is attacking the defenseless man, the K-9’s handler can be heard saying ‘Good Boy’ as if to offer positive reinforcement for viciously mauling a defenseless human being.

While the video abruptly ends moments after the attack, Mr. Palermo added (https://www.facebook.com/NickPalermoOfficial?fref=photo):

“After the video stopped the ambulance came and from what I saw the man was not moving and was bleeding out badly.”

This disturbing video is by no means an ‘exception to the rule’. Police regularly use their K-9 partners to inflict torture on suspects. Earlier this year police in Vineland, NJ released a K-9 on Phillip White (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/vineland-man-brutally-beaten-police-dies-custody/), whom an eyewitness described as ‘out cold.’ White was savagely mauled by the K-9 officer and later died in police custody.

Prison Gets Rich Locking Up Preschoolers

One for-profit prison company has found that incarcerating infants, toddlers, children, and mothers—as long as they’re undocumented immigrants (http://www.thedailybeast.com/search.html?q=undocumented)—is a great way to boost their revenue by upward of $49 million over the previous year.

The latest quarterly finance report from Corrections Corporation of America, a for-profit prison company, indicates that its contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to manage a detention center packed with immigrant mothers and children (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/05/10/happy-mother-s-day-in-detention-love-obama-administration.html) is very helpful to its bottom line.

Part of the reason their deal is so lucrative? The public isn’t particularly bothered by it.

The company can thank President Obama. Facing enormous political pressure and eye-grabbing headlines, the Obama administration moved last summer to dramatically expand the federal government’s capacity for locking up young mothers and kids.

Before last summer (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/09/19/the-border-kid-crisis-hits-the-courts.html)—when thousands of mothers and young children fleeing gang violence and bad governance in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador crossed the southern border into this country—the detention of immigrant families was rare.

Antonio Ginatta, the U.S. advocacy director for Human Rights Watch, said there were only 90 beds or fewer in facilities designated for the detention of these immigrants. But then last summer happened (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/06/11/detained-immigrant-children-report-physical-verbal-and-sexual-abuse-by-border-patrol-agents.html), and the number of young children—many entering the country without parents—and young mothers crossing the border went up dramatically.

“There was no family detention in the United States, practically, a year and a half ago,” said Ginatta. “And now we’re in the thousands.”

Cities spend billions on police brutality settlements, can't 'afford' body cameras (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/09/1419692/-Cities-are-content-to-spend-billions-on-police-brutality-settlements-can-t-afford-body-cameras)

On September 8, it was announced that the city of Baltimore reached a $6.4 million settlement with the family of Freddie Gray (http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/baltimore-reaches-64-million-settlement-with-freddie-grays-family/2015/09/08/80b2c092-5196-11e5-8c19-0b6825aa4a3a_story.html) following his wrongful death in police custody.

This comes after the city already paid (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-gray-rough-rides-20150423-story.html) Dondi Johnson $7.4 million, and Jeffrey Alston $39 million. Each of them ended up fully paralyzed after encounters with the Baltimore police.

New York City announced (http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-york-city-reaches-settlement-family-eric-garner-n391486) a $5.9 million settlement with Eric Garner's family.

The family of Sean Bell was paid $7 million (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2010/10/14/nypd-paid-nearly-1-billion-to-settle-lawsuits/) after the New York Police Department shot and killed him on his wedding day.

Abner Louima was paid $8.75 million after being brutalized and sexually assaulted by the NYPD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abner_Louima).

From 2000 to 2010, New York City spent more than $1 billion (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2010/10/14/nypd-paid-nearly-1-billion-to-settle-lawsuits/) to settle police brutality cases.

Over the past five years, the city has shelled out an additional $500 million (http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/10/428-million-in-nypd-related-settlements-paid.html#).

Chicago just announced a settlement with the family of Laquan McDonald (http://www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/laquan-mcdonald-305931691.html) for at least $5 million in his wrongful death.

This was followed by the same city announcing a multi-million dollar reparations fund (http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/05/06/404545064/chicago-set-to-create-reparation-fund-for-victims-of-police-torture) for men and women who had been tortured by their police.

Before that, Chicago paid $4.5 million to the family of Rekia Boyd (http://abc7chicago.com/archive/9026410/).

In all, cash-strapped Chicago has spent over $500 million (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/27/1380655/-Cash-strapped-Chicago-admits-it-has-paid-half-a-billion-in-police-brutality-settlements-since-2004) on police brutality settlements since 2004.

What's wild is that in spite of billions of dollars being spent after people are brutally murdered and assaulted by police, most law enforcement agencies in cities like New York, Chicago, and Baltimore still don't have body cameras.

They often cite the cost (http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/crime/article25901137.html) of starting such a program as being a prohibitive factor. But the truth is that most departments could outfit their entire force with the cost of just a few settlements.

What's actually behind the delay in getting them is far more nefarious. Police don't want body cameras because they prefer to concoct their own stories when they're in a crunch. Cities don't want them because they know cameras will likely raise the amount they have to spend on settlements for police brutality, instead of lessening it.

In other words, local governments prefer the system just the way it is. Few police are ever prosecuted (http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2015/04/11/thousands-dead-few-prosecuted/) and, in most cases, little evidence exists to contradict police when they use lethal force.

Tennis Star James Blake Tackled Outside his Midtown Hotel by NYC Police, and Why Money Isn't Enough (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/09/1419889/-Tennis-Star-James-Blake-Tackled-Outside-his-Midtown-Hotel-by-NYC-Police-and-Why-Money-Isn-t-Enough)

http://images.dailykos.com/images/163520/large/james-blake-tennis.jpg?1441831838

James Blake was slammed to the ground by an officer and had four more officers restrain him, as they yelled things like, "Don't say a word" and "You're in safe hands." They suspected that he was a person involved in an identity theft ring, because those sorts of people often wait patiently outside of posh NYC hotels while waiting for their private cars to take them to the US Open. Blake did not run, even as he saw a plain-clothes officer charge toward him. According to Blake (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more-sports/ex-tennis-star-james-blake-mistakenly-tackled-white-cops-article-1.2353983):

Maybe I'm naïve, but I just assumed it was someone I went to high school with or something who was running at me to give me a big hug, so I smiled at the guy
Blake described the incident as "hard to believe," and vowed to use his public megaphone to bring awareness to police brutality.

Shopping While Black? Avoid Whole Foods. You May Get Beaten Bloody (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/06/1418894/-Shopping-While-Black-Avoid-Whole-Foods-You-May-Get-Beaten-Bloody)

If you're thinking of shopping at Whole Foods, don't. According to Zoe Marks, a witness (https://www.facebook.com/zoezmarks/posts/10101201876322025?pnref=story), a black man who tried it in Oakland was beaten unconscious:

In Oakland less than four hours and I just saw a young man violently assaulted by an armed security guard at Whole Foods - slammed repeatedly against concrete pillars, put in a chokehold, restrained, and suffocated until he was thrown face down on the pavement unconscious. The guard locked him out of the store despite the fact he was immobile.Not a single employee called the paramedics. He was trying to buy groceries with his EBT card and ended up in a stretcher.

ThinkProgress (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/09/05/3699075/private-security-at-whole-foods-beats-black-man-unconscious/) headlined their article:

Private Security At Whole Foods Beats Black Man Unconscious, Leaves Him In A Pool Of His Own Blood

...which lacks snap but makes up for it with accuracy.The Oakland Tribune (http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_28758742/) wrote:

OAKLAND -- Whole Foods Market has fired a security guard after a violent altercation with a customer at an Oakland store, a spokeswoman said Friday.The alleged assault began about 9:30 p.m. Thursday inside the market on Bay Place near Lake Merritt, according to spokeswoman Beth Krauss and a witness. Oakland police are investigating the incident as an assault.

The guard, who has not been named, was initially suspended but on Friday afternoon Krauss said the guard's suspension would be permanent.

Police officers three times more likely to commit domestic violence than active NFL players (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/10/1420117/-Police-officers-have-a-rate-of-domestic-violence-at-least-300-higher-than-active-players-in-the-NFL)

http://images.dailykos.com/images/163665/large/PicMonkey_Collage.jpg?1441905905

Police departments are actually amazing at public relations. Each department often has its own communications director, some have full PR departments, and high-ranking officers interact with the local media more than any other profession in our country. This may explain how police officers are held up as the ethical and moral heroes of our country in spite of the reality that they have a rate of domestic violence 300 percent higher than NFL athletes.A full 69 percent of Americans believe that the NFL has a widespread domestic violence problem (http://www.poppolling.com/index.php?polls-news&a=view&article_id=31#.VfG-dbSiJAJ), and 47 percent of Americans believe that NFL athletes should be permanently banned from the league for domestic violence.
The truth is, though, that NFL athletes actually have a domestic violence rate that is 45 percent lower than the national average (http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/the-rate-of-domestic-violence-arrests-among-nfl-players/). The athletes are just so popular and widely covered that it has given the nation a bit of a false impression.

Domestic violence is a problem in general, and NFL athletes are certainly part of that problem.

What isn't being told is that police officers have a higher domestic violence rate (http://mic.com/articles/106886/one-group-has-a-higher-domestic-violence-rate-than-everyone-else-and-it-s-not-the-nfl) than any known profession in the country.

Keep reading for the gory details.

In families of police officers, domestic violence is two-to-four times more likely than in the general population — from stalking and harassment to sexual assault and even homicide. As the National Center for Women and Policing notes, two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence, in contrast to 10% of families in the general population.

combined with the already highly secretive nature of policing, has caused experts to believe that the actual rates of domestic violence by law enforcement are drastically underreported. (http://mic.com/articles/106886/one-group-has-a-higher-domestic-violence-rate-than-everyone-else-and-it-s-not-the-nfl)

A 2013 Bowling Green State University study, through news searches, tallied 324 cases of reported officer domestic violence. It is likely that this number is a gross underestimate, because as the National Center for Women and Policing has detailed, officers frequently cover for each other.

Boston Police Shun the President over a Big Fat LIE (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/08/1419525/-Boston-Police-Shun-the-President-over-a-Big-Fat-LIE)

Because apparently he didn't do something, or say something, but in truth he actually did do it - but they don't know, or don't care, or won't believe it, or whatever...

Jerry Flynn of the New England Policeman's Benevolent Association is truly stellar case of distortion and projection (http://www.wnd.com/2015/09/boston-cops-shun-obama-for-anti-police-rhetoric/#C68uWu5croRR3Dsj.99).

He wrote, the Boston Herald reported: “Our members are enraged at his lack of support of law enforcement. It’s clear that he has an agenda and unfortunately, the police are not part of his agenda.”Flynn referenced the eight police officers killed in a nine-day period, and Obama’s “silence” on that point. He also denounced Joe Biden’s silence, characterizing the lack of support for police “not an Obama problem” but rather “an administration problem,” he wrote.

“This is a horror show,” Flynn said. “This is an epidemic of lawless people trying to kill police officers for no apparent reasons. Case in point is the lieutenant who was pumping gas in Houston. Over 7,000 people were at that church, and where was [Obama]? Why wasn’t he there instead of a unity breakfast?”

Ignoring the fact that there is no epidemic of Police being Killed by Black People in vengful retaliation (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/02/1417623/-To-be-clear-the-number-of-police-officers-shot-killed-is-down-this-year-and-1-2-killed-are-Black) - Yes, why exactly is Obama out Promoting A SILLY THING LIKE UNITY instead of giving police officers an extra bowl of milk and cookies before their nighty night time? I mean it's not like the President said this last week in support of the families of fallen Officers (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/08/31/obama-targeting-police-completely-unacceptable/71499082/).

This afternoon, on my way to Alaska, I called Kathleen Goforth, the widow of Harris County Deputy Sheriff Darren Goforth - a veteran law enforcement officer who was contemptibly shot and killed over the weekend. On behalf of the American people, I offered Mrs. Goforth my condolences, and told her that Michelle and I would keep her and her family in our prayers. I also promised that I would continue to highlight the uncommon bravery that police officers show in our communities every single day. They put their lives on the line for our safety. Targeting police officers is completely unacceptable - an affront to civilized society. As I said in my State of the Union Address, we've got to be able to put ourselves in the shoes of the wife who won't rest until the police officer she married walks through the door at the end of his shift. That comfort has been taken from Mrs. Goforth. So we must offer her our comfort - and continue to stand up for the safety of police officers wherever they serve.

Targeting police officers is completely unacceptable — an affront to civilized society.

That's the President being "Silent" on the issue. Deafening Silence, isn't it? Or rather falling on deaf ears.Over the flip we will, believe it or not, examine the even more outrageous things said by Mr. Flynn

And he said: “I mean, [Obama] had the opportunity to do things then and he didn’t, andall he’s done is escalated and allowed these people that are hellbent on causing problems to do so. We can’t continue to have people who have no intention to do anything but to be disruptive. These aren’t good citizens. These are thugs who go out and try to cause problems. You can’t continue to have this kind of hatred and animosity and the lawlessness that’s going on in this country at the cost of police officers losing their lives. It’s irresponsible of the president and his administration.”

Yeah, it's funny how when you call people "thugs" they sometimes, somehow, might have a bit of "hatred and animosity" towards you. Who knew of such a thing?

Flynn then suggested Obama could calm some of this violence simply by issuing a statement of support for police.“I think it would send a message to people in law enforcement that we have a commander in chief who actually is backing the people who are in the war on the street,” he said. “And this is a war on the street. He’s got to come out and ask to be a unified group and to support law enforcement. He’s got a new attorney general, what’s her agenda? What is her message going to be, that she’s actually putting forth? I don’t know the answer to that question. But certainly, what he’s doing now, what he hasn’t done now, has been supportive of those in law enforcement.”

Geez, if only Obama would make a statement in support of Police. Y'know, besides the one he made in support of Office Goforth's family. It's not like Obama made a statement condemning the shooting of Police in New York that went something like this. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/21/obama-police-killings_n_6362328.html)

"I unconditionally condemn today's murder of two police officers in New York City," Obama said in a statement. "Two brave men won't be going home to their loved ones tonight, and for that, there is no justification. The officers who serve and protect our communities risk their own safety for ours every single day - and they deserve our respect and gratitude every single day."Obama continued: "Tonight, I ask people to reject violence and words that harm, and turn to words that heal - prayer, patient dialogue, and sympathy for the friends and family of the fallen."

Now if only Obama would say that police deserve our "respect and gratitude" and that we should "reject violence and words that harm" and turn to "prayer, patient dialogue and sympathy for the fallen", that would be so much better than the Obama we have in the White House right now.And I do wish he would say something about all that darn looting and rioting. Something like this would be good. (http://www.aol.com/article/2015/04/28/obama-too-many-troubling-police-interactions-with-blacks/21177501/)

"There's no excuse for the kind of violence that we saw yesterday," Obama said. "It is counterproductive. When individuals get crowbars and start prying open doors to loot, they're not protesting, they're not making a statement, they're stealing."

Wouldn't that be something?Yes, if only that guy were President we wouldn't be seeing reports like this. (http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/police-are-tired-barack-obama/#ixzz3lBLYujG2)

There is no doubt that President Barack Obama hates the police. His ideology is why he has built a long career of activism against law enforcement… And thanks to Obama, too many people are opposed to the same police officers who risk their lives every day for our safety.Public views towards police are so bad in some areas, that police have taken a more hands-off approach to public safety. Depending on the neighborhood, this can be disastrous.

"Long career of activism against law enforcement"? When exactly was that? Was it when he as an Illinois State Senator and helped passed that viciously "anti-Cop" legislation that required them to videotape confessions on death penalty cases (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/03/AR2008010303303.html) in order to cut down on "beatings".

Consider a bill into which Obama clearly put his heart and soul. The problem he wanted to address was that too many confessions, rather than being voluntary, were coerced -- by beating the daylights out of the accused.Obama proposed requiring that interrogations and confessions be videotaped.

This seemed likely to stop the beatings, but the bill itself aroused immediate opposition.
...
The police proved to be Obama's toughest opponent. Legislators tend to quail when cops say things like, "This means we won't be able to protect your children." The police tried to limit the videotaping to confessions, but Obama, knowing that the beatings were most likely to occur during questioning, fought -- successfully -- to keep interrogations included in the required videotaping.

By showing officers that he shared many of their concerns, even going so far as to help pass other legislation they wanted, he was able to quiet the fears of many.

And that Obama also passed bills requiring police to document the race of the drivers (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/30/us/politics/30obama.html?pagewanted=3&_r=0) they stopped, because that's just so hateful.

Mr. Hendon praised Mr. Obama, however, for later winning passage of what some in Springfield called “the driving-while-black bill,” which required the police to collect data on the race of drivers they stopped as a way to monitor racial profiling. Law enforcement groups had repeatedly blocked earlier versions while the Republicans were in control; when the Democrats took over, Mr. Obama brokered a compromise between the police groups and the A.C.L.U.

Because it's just so anti-Cop for them to not beat suspects to get them to confess and focus specifically on drivers of a certain races because they think they're more likely to get an easy arrest for crack (which has higher jail time associated and is more often used by black people because it's cheaper) than for cocaine or meth.How Dare He?!

And then there's the worse thing he did. Remember? When he said that Sgt Crowley of the Cambridge Police "Acted Stupidly" by arresting Professor Skip Gates for the "crime" of breaking into his own stuck front door. Who was he to think he had a right to get into his own house, and of course since that was after Crowley had already received confirmation that it really was Skip Gates own house the "smart" thing to do was arrest him.

And the next smart thing for Crowley to do was Lie On His Police Report about it all, which he did (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/07/25/757783/-James-Crowley-Lied-in-his-Police-Report).

Gates opened the door and exclaimed "Why, because I am a black man in America? While yelling, he told me that it was none of my business and accused me of being a racist police officer.

Gates continued to yell at me.

My reason for wanting to leave the residence was that Gates was yelling very loud and the acoustics of the kitchen and foyer were making it difficult for me to transmit pertinent information...

Gates continued to yell at me...

The gentleman shouted "You don't know who your [sic] messing with!"

At the time Gates had a severe bronchial infection, he couldn't yell (http://www.theroot.com/views/skip-gates-speaks) at anyone. This is also confirmed by the audio from Crowley's radio where Gates can be heard in the background but not yelling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4kw12qoK7U).Crowley also lied about meeting and talking with the 9-11 Caller. He said this in his report.

When I arrived at 17 Ware street I radioed ECC and asked that they have the caller meet me at the front door to this residence. SNIP . As I reached the door, a female voice called out to me. I turned and looked in the direction of the voice and observed a white female, later identified as Lucia Whalen. Whalen, who was standing on the sidewalk in front of the residence, held a wireless telephone in her hand and told me that it was she who called. She went on to tell me that the observed what appeared to be two black males with backpacks on the porch of 17 Ware street.

But Whalen never said any of that, she never even met Crowley according to her attorney. (http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/27/gates.arrest/)

Attorney Wendy Murphy, who represents Whalen, also categorically rejected part of the police report that said Whalen talked with Sgt. James Crowley, the arresting officer, at the scene. "Let me be clear: She never had a conversation with Sgt. Crowley at the scene," Murphy told CNN by phone. "And she never said to any police officer or to anybody 'two black men.' She never used the word 'black.' Period."
She added, "I'm not sure what the police explanation will be. Frankly, I don't care. Her only goal is to make it clear she never described them as black. She never saw their race. ... All she reported was behavior, not skin color."

This is the 9-1-1 Call right here.

Gates was arrested for "Disorderly Conduct" but in reality he was arrested because of his asking Sgt Crowley for his name and badge number multiple times but Crowley wouldn't respond, so Gates grew frustrated and questioned his motivations.

‘What is your name, and what is your badge number?’ and he refused to respond. I asked him three times, and he refused to respond. And then I said, ‘You’re not responding because I’m a black man, and you’re a white officer.’ That’s what I said. He didn’t say anything. ...(Gates is then Arrested)

A crowd had gathered, and as they were handcuffing me and walking me out to the car, I said, ‘Is this how you treat a black man in America?’

Crowley was offended by Gates suggestion he had racial motivations and concocted the "Disorderly" charge in order to retaliate against him for making that suggestion [I mean it's not like we have a Constitutional Amendment that allows citizens to criticize their government - including police - and "redress greivances" with them.

Police will not face charges in Pasco shooting death of Mexican man

Three police officers in Washington state (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/washington-state) who shot and killed a Mexican man earlier this year during a controversial encounter that was captured on cellphone video will not face criminal charges.

Franklin County prosecutor Shawn Sant decided Pasco police officers Ryan Flanagan, Adam Wright and Adrian Alaniz should not be prosecuted for the death of Antonio Zambrano-Montes (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/17/pasco-fatal-police-shooting-zambrano-montes-hispanic) on 10 February, attorneys for his parents told the Guardian.

“The officers used lethal force to prevent injury to themselves and others,” :lol said Sant, who described the shooting as “reasonable under the standards established in our state laws” and lacking in malice. :lol

Cop who tackled tennis star James Blake has a history of violence and racism against black men

e New York undercover officer who failed to identify himself before tacking and handcuffing tennis star James Blake while he waited outside a hotel has an extensive history of complaints filed against him during his brief time on the force, reports the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/12/nyregion/video-captures-new-york-officer-manhandling-tennis-star-during-arrest.html?_r=0).

Officer James Frascatore, who has only been with the NYPD for four years, yet has racked up five civilian complaints in just seven months, with two excessive-force lawsuits filed against the city due to his actions. Previous to his employment by the NYPD, Frascatore was a police officer in Florida.

Fracatore’s assault on Blake, based upon mistaken identity, has drawn criticism from Mayor Bill de Blasio to Police Commissioner Bill Bratton who said that the department was not aware of the incident until Blake called their attention to it because Frascatore co=vered it up in his report.

The officer, who is on a career track to become a detective, has been placed on desk duty and had his gun and badge pulled after police authorities viewed surveillance video (http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/n-y-police-release-video-of-ex-tennis-star-james-blakes-mistaken-arrest/) from the hotel.

According to the New York Post (http://nypost.com/2015/09/11/cop-accused-of-body-slamming-james-blake-needed-to-go-a-long-time-ago/), Frascatore is included in a lawsuit stating he “sadistically and maliciously” beat Warren Diggs outside his home in 2013.

In an interview, Diggs said Frascatore was the first to punch him, saying, “This guy needed to go a long time ago . . . He likes putting his hands on people,” before adding , “Hopefully, [Blake’s] in a better position to do something about it so that he won’t be able to get away with it anymore.”

Stefon Luckey, who has an $5 million suit against Frascatore and several other cops pending, claims the officer punched him twice in the stomach and called him a “f- -king n- - - -r,” after he was racially profiled outside of a Queens deli in May 2013.

The Rise of the Machines (covers for the dicklessness of the cops)

Drone policing in US seen as 'Wild West'

Drones are increasingly making their mark in the arsenal of US police forces, operating in a legalgray area and sparking concerns of constant surveillance of civilians.

The specter of armed drones surfaced with a law passed in North Dakota last month that allowspolice to equip the aircraft with teargas."It's still a bit of a Wild West," said American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) policy analyst JayStanley.

Since 2012, government agencies can use small drones—weighing less than 55 pounds, or 25kilograms—under certain conditions and after obtaining a certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration.

But the FAA, which is preparing small drone regulations, does not have authority on privacy protection and there is no specific framework on the issue on a national level.

Up to two dozen police forces are currently fully equipped with drones and trained to use them, ncluding pioneers Grand Forks in North Dakota; Arlington, Texas; Mesa County, Colorado and theUtah Highway Patrol.

Mass surveillance

According to the digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation, at least 60 police forces acrossthe country—from Houston, Texas, to Mobile, Alabama, North Little Rock, Arkansas, and MiamiDadeCounty—have asked for drone certification.

The FBI also uses drones for specific missions.Through the drones, law enforcement gets a bird's eye view of accident and crime scenes, can searchfor suspects or missing people and obtain tactical information when, for example, a dangeroussuspect has barricaded himself.A drone hovers over a police vehicle near a simulated accident scene with a chemicalspill during a demonstration at Virginia Tech, August 13, 2014 in Blacksburg, Virginia

The unmanned aircraft cost police $15,000 to $50,000, far less than the $500,000 to $3 million ahelicopter can fetch.

Some cities, like San Jose, California, only have pilot programs. Others such as Seattle, Washington,bought drones and then gave up on the program in the face of public outcry.Many government agencies "are just waiting to see how things settle down and waiting to see furtherdevelopment of these systems," said Philip Finnegan of the Teal Group aerospace and defenseconsulting company.

"For a lot of them, it's not worth the political risk."He predicted that the commercial market will take off within five years as the public growsincreasingly comfortable with drones and law enforcement uses them more.

Rights groups are not opposed to drones as such but rather are concerned that some law enforcementagencies will use them for constant surveillance of the population.

"Without proper regulation, drones equipped with facial recognition software, infrared technologyand speakers capable of monitoring personal conversations would cause unprecedented invasions ofour privacy rights," the ACLU said."Interconnected drones could enable mass tracking of vehicles and people in wide areas," it added.

Tiny drones could go completely unnoticed while peering into the window of a home or place ofworship.

"The Electronic Privacy Information Center, for one, is calling for a warrant before each police droneflight."When you see what the FBI has been wanting to do with the Stingray technology, that's verytroubling," said Patrick Eddington of the Cato Institute, referring to phone trackers.Critics are also concerned about wasted public funds.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, for example, bought $600,000 worth ofdrones without ever using them.

Customs and Border Protection meanwhile froze its purchase program after one of its large Predator military drones—with a price tag of $12 million a piece—crashed.

But if Grand Forks police are seeking to equip their drones with tear gas, it's an isolated case for now.

"There's a consensus that it's a bad idea," Stanley said about installing weapons, even non*lethal ones,on drones.

Ex-cop charged with threatening officials in Fox Lake officer shooting case

http://www.trbimg.com/img-55f5b57c/turbine/ct-fox-lake-police-shooting-threats-20150913-001/624/624x351

Former Chicago police Officer Joseph Battaglia, of southwest suburban Oak Lawn, was charged Sunday with two counts of disorderly conduct after threats were made to harm two key officials investigating the death of Fox Lake police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, officials said.

The 54-year-old Battaglia, who is being held in the Lake County Jail after being assigned a $100,000 bond, is accused of calling Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd's office Friday and threatening Rudd and George Filenko, who heads the Lake County Major Crime Task Force, officials said.

Battaglia described himself as a retired police officer. He was denied a public defender because of his police pension, the judge said.

Battaglia allegedly threatened to harm Rudd and Filenko unless they declare Gliniewicz's death a suicide.

According to a news release Sunday morning from the Lake County sheriff's office, someone called the coroner's office at 2 p.m. Friday, blocking the phone number so caller identification would not work. The caller said he was a "retired police officer" and made threats against "all of the Task Force members" and others investigating the Gliniewicz death unless that death was declared a suicide.

Oklahoma cop breaks man’s face and charges him with assault for no apparent reason

http://2d0yaz2jiom3c6vy7e7e5svk.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Chris-Barger-KFOR-800x430.png

An Oklahoma man suffered a broken nose and other injuries — but was charged with assault — when a police officer punched him during an arrest.

Chris Barger said he dropped off a friend at an apartment complex Sept. 7 in Purcell when a police officer approached and shined a flashlight into his car, reported KFOR-TV (http://kfor.com/2015/09/09/purcell-man-says-police-officer-beat-him-for-looking-suspicious/).

“He begins to shine his light in my car window repeatedly, and after a while, I decided maybe I should get out of the vehicle and ask the officer what the problem is,” Barger said.

Barger got out of the car with one hand in his pocket, and a witness said (http://kfor.com/2015/09/10/i-saw-the-officer-rush-him-witness-says-he-saw-officer-beat-purcell-man/) the officer charged him and began punching.

“I saw the guy get out of the car, walk toward the officer a little bit and stopped,” the witness said. “There was a little distance between them, and I saw the officer rush him.”

The police report shows Barger raised his hands after the officer pointed his gun at him, but Barger and the witness both said the officer charged toward him and placed him in a headlock.

“By the time he threw me on the ground and hit me a couple times with his elbow, at that point, I was like, ‘This isn’t a police officer — this is just some guy here to kill me,’” Barger said.
The witness said Barger screamed for help as the officer repeatedly punched him.

“They were on the ground for a good two or three minutes, and the guy was screaming, ‘Somebody help me, somebody help me, I don’t know why you’re doing this,’” the witness said.

The police report shows Barger knocked the officer’s glasses off during the altercation, and he was charged with assault on a police officer.

Prosecutors, however, dropped that charge but filed a misdemeanor obstruction of justice charge in its place. :lol good ol' prosecutors!

He had been wanted on an outstanding warrant related to an unpaid traffic ticket, which he resolved after his arrest.

Barger plans to file a complaint against the officer, whose name has not been released.

The police chief said last week he had not spoken with the officer but defended his actions during the incident.

Barger said his cellmates helped tend to his injuries, which included several facial injuries, after he was taken to jail.

“They brought me chairs and helped me sit down,” Barger said. “They were better than the police were to me. It’s not the way it’s supposed to be. The police are supposed to be the good guys.”

Nice White Dad Hogtied By Police Didn’t Die Of LSD Overdose, What A Shock

http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/troygoode.jpeg

We have a quick Wonk update on a bizarre story we brought you in July, (http://wonkette.com/591729/nice-white-dad-mysteriously-dies-in-police-custody-we-can-talk-police-brutality-now) of a nice white dad, Troy Goode, who went to a Widespread Panic concert in Mississippi with his wife and mysteriously died hours later in custody of the Southaven Police Department (hey, weren’t we JUST talking about them? (http://wonkette.com/593901/black-doctor-jailed-because-her-husband-said-a-swear)), after being hogtied and otherwise abused by officers, according to eyewitness reports. Goode was taken to the hospital, and his wife was threatened with arrest if she dared show up at the hospital to see if maybe her husband was dying.

At the time, Southaven police chief Tom Long said that Goode had been “acting erratically from an alleged LSD overdose,” so maybe that’s why he died.

As we science-splained at the time, dying from LSD overdose is not actually a thing that happens. (http://www.projectknow.com/research/lsd-overdose/)

According to Desoto County District Attorney John Champion, a preliminary autopsy (that reporters didn’t get to see, how strange!) showed Goode had died from some heart or lung something or another, or maybe more specifically, it was a heart attack.

All he reckons is that the cops didn’t have anything to do with this healthy 31-year-old guy suddenly dying in police custody, heck nope, that is UNPOSSIBLE.

She's a Banker, Owns a BMW and Obama Follows Her on Twitter: But NY Cops Still Threw Innocent Black Woman into Mental Hospital

And then charged her $13k for her trouble.

Trapped within a Kafkaesque nightmare, Kamilah Brock endured eight days in a mental hospital with forced injections after NYPD officers refused to believe that she was a banker who owned a BMW. Stripped of her clothes and her dignity, Brock was suddenly released without explanation and slapped with a medical bill that exceeds $13,000. She has filed a lawsuit against the city for violating her constitutional rights and described her ordeal during an on-camera interview on Thursday.

According to her lawsuit, Brock had been driving her 2003 BMW 325Ci in Harlem when she stopped at a red light on September 12, 2014. An NYPD officer approached her car and asked Brock why her hands weren’t on the steering wheel.

“I said I was dancing, I am at a light,” Brock told PIX11 (http://pix11.com/2015/09/10/exclusive-long-island-woman-claims-officers-put-her-in-harlem-psych-ward-because-she-owns-a-bmw/). “He asked me to get out of the car.”

Police claim that Brock had been acting irrational, speaking inconsistently, and ran into the middle of traffic. But according to Brock’s attorney, Michael Lamonsoff, the NYPD seized her car because they suspected she was high on marijuana. Although the police did not find any drugs, they confiscated her BMW and took her into custody.

After being detained at NYPD’s 30th Precinct for a few hours, Brock was released without charges. When she asked for her car, officers told her to return the next day to claim it at a substation. Instead of giving Brock her car back the following day, NYPD cops refused to believe that she owned a BMW and placed her in handcuffs before calling for an ambulance.

“Next thing you know, the police held onto me, the doctor stuck me with a needle and I was knocked out,” Brock told NY Daily News (http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/exclusive-woman-held-psych-ward-obama-twitter-claim-article-1.2159049). “I woke up to them taking off my underwear and then went out again. I woke up the next day in a hospital robe.”

Brock woke up inside the Harlem Hospital psychiatric ward. For eight days, doctors and medical staff repeatedly injected Brock with sedatives and forced her to take lorazepam and lithium after misdiagnosing her as bipolar and delusional. According to medical records, doctors also repeatedly attempted to coerce her into denying she owned a BMW, was a banker, and has President Barack Obama as a follower on Twitter.

But according to her lawsuit, Brock does own a BMW. She has worked at Citibank, Chase, and Astoria Bank. And the 32-year-old black woman with no history of mental illness actually does have President Obama as a follower on Twitter (http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/exclusive-woman-held-psych-ward-obama-twitter-claim-article-1.2159049).

After eight days, doctors released Brock without giving her any explanation. She received a hospital bill for $13,637.10 even though Brock was misdiagnosed and held there against her will. Earlier this year, she filed a lawsuit against the city of New York, the unidentified police officers, and Harlem Hospital for violating her constitutional rights under the Fourth (https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/fourth_amendment) and 14th (https://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/14thamendment.html) Amendments.

Given the fact that cops have the legal authority to shoot unarmed people (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/police-chief-sentenced-house-arrest-killing-unarmed-man-town-hall-parking-lot/), conduct body cavity searches (http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/florence-v-board-of-chosen-freeholders-of-the-county-of-burlington/) without reasonable suspicion, detain journalists (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-ferguson-washington-post-reporter-wesley-lowery-gives-account-of-his-arrest/2014/08/13/0fe25c0e-2359-11e4-86ca-6f03cbd15c1a_story.html), and choke (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/hiding-judge-refuses-release-eric-garner-grand-jury-records/) suspects to death, apparently throwing sane people into psych wards can now be added to the list.

Money Isn't the Only Reason Why Police Have Ignored 80,000 Rape Kits

The nearly 80,000 rape kits taken from sexual assault victims that have gone untested for so long haven’t just been ignored for financial reasons. Yes, local police departments sometimes lack resources - but what too many are also missing is the ability to treat victims of sexual violence with respect.

After years of sitting on dusty shelves - shamefully ignored by police departments across the country - tens of thousands of rape kits will finally be tested. On 10 September, Vice President Joe Biden and New York City District Attorney Cyrus Vance announced (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/sep/10/initiative-end-rape-kit-backlog-joe-biden-loretta-lynch) a $79m initiative to start to whittle down the backlog.

it wasn’t just “chronic resource depletion” that led to the backlog - but “police treating victims in dehumanizing ways.”

“[L]aw enforcement personnel regularly expressed negative, stereotyping beliefs about sexual assault victims. Victims who were assumed to be prostitutes were considered to be at fault for what had happened to them.

Adolescents were often assumed to be lying, trying to avoid getting into trouble with their families by concocting a false story about being raped. Friends/acquaintances had got‐what‐they‐got because they had chosen to associate with the perpetrator.

The fact that all of these victims had endured a lengthy, invasive medical forensic exam seemed to carry little to no weight.”

rape victims have long complained about terrible treatment at the hands of police and the criminal justice system, and we know that rapists overwhelmingly go unpunished in the United States.

“Because few law enforcement officers and prosecutors are educated about the way victims behave in traumatic situations, their attitude toward victims is often disbelief and disdain,”

After Watching These Cops Bully an Innocent Combat Vet, You’ll Know Why People are Upset with Cops

The two men said they were simply sitting on a curb outside of a cellphone store after business hours, waiting for a ride, when approached by the officer.

When one of the men tells the cop that she needs to “follow the law.” The officer seemingly takes this comment as a personal affront.\

Considering that at that instant she has already ascertained that these men were sitting on the curb as they waited for a ride, there should be no reason to continue with the investigative stop. But, as is all too common the case, this officer’s ego has taken over, and she has decided to show theses men who has the “authority.”

While the officer’s initial reasoning for the contact is valid, once ascertaining that the men were simply waiting to be picked up, the situation should have been a non-incident.

As we all too typically see in these types of situations, rather than accept that these men were simply sitting waiting for a ride, the officer decided to escalate the incident.

The video (https://www.facebook.com/dexjones/videos/10152940517221568/), https://www.facebook.com/dexjones/videos/10152940517221568/ recorded by one of the men, begins only minutes after the initial contact by the officer and runs for a few minutes after.

“He was like, ‘No, you’re not a vet. You’re a punk. You’re a (expletive), you’re a coward,'” Niblak said.

The video shows Niblak being thrown to the ground and cuffed by cops after complaining that he felt he was being racially profiled.

Basically, he is what we dream an American 9th grader will be in 2015 as our nation lags behind the world in math and science education. Wanting to show his engineering teacher what he was capable of, he brought a homemade electronic clock to the school.What should've been a beautiful moment of congratulatory pride, quickly turned into a full fledged nightmare for Ahmed. His English teacher, who decided the clock looked like a bomb, notified the principal, who called campus police, who called the county police, who interrogated Ahmed, arrested him on the spot and took him to jail.
Mind you—he's a 9th grader in a NASA shirt and the clock, which anyone could see was not attached to any explosives of any kind, was harmless. He never pretended it was a bomb, never told anyone it was a bomb. It was a clock.
But, as you can see, he's not white and his name isn't Tommy Anderson, so an engineering wonder is interpreted to be a threat to national security.

Ahmed Mohamed? With a Muslim name, the poor guy didn't stand a chance against the TX Christian Taliban and racist police, all of them keeping Texians safe from dangerous clocks.

"He's a ninth-grader in a NASA shirt and the clock, which anyone could see was not attached to any explosives of any kind, was harmless. He never pretended it was a bomb, never told anyone it was a bomb. It was a clock.But, as you can see, he's not white and his name isn't Tommy Anderson, so an engineering phenom is mistaken as a threat to national security.

This entire story (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/09/16/they-thought-it-was-a-bomb-ahmed-mohamed-texas-9th-grader-arrested-after-bringing-a-home-built-clock-to-school/?tid=sm_tw) is an absolutely despicable case of Islamophobia and will forever impact this young man's life."

“They took me to a room filled with five officers,” he said. “They interrogated me, and searched through my stuff and took my tablet and my invention.”

He said he was fingerprinted, and mug shots were taken at a juvenile detention center. He was released when his parents came to retrieve him.

The clock had a digital display, built into a metal case with a circuit board. Ahmed, who is in ninth grade, said he showed his teacher and “it got to the point where I was arrested.”

Facebook Post a Police Chief Penned on Black Lives Matter That Led to His Sudden Retirement

Open letter from a Police Chief , this Black Lives Matter group is nothing more than an American born terrorist group brought on by the lie of the hands up don’t shoot during the criminal thug Michael Brown incident.

The FBI and other Government Law Enforcement groups need to step up and put a stop to this. The Government and blacks would not tolerate the White Supremacist group to march through the streets and call for the murders of a race of people and a group of public servants. I agree there is a race problem in this country.

It is not brought on by police officer doing their sworn duty, it is brought on by the government, the President and his cronies Al Sharpton, who is a criminal tax evader (but has the support of our so called President), Jessi Jackson, Eric Holder and that ignorant S.O.B. Farrakhan who should be charged with solicitation for murder, lord knows a white man would be arrested for the same actions of idiot Farakhan.

I am sure there are many hard working Black people who will agree with me. I have been a Police Officer for 35 years. I do not judge anyone by the color of their skin, but by there actions.

A criminal is a criminal whether a police officer or any other profession. I will not state statistics because black lives matter do not care or believe proven statistics. I put allot of the blame for these cop murders on the media and the way they report police related shootings. There is no need to list or even state the race of a person shot by the police. It is more important to wait for the facts and report those.

But and a big but that does not make money for these greedy media ass holes. When a black thug is killed by the police they are all over it as is Mr. Barack Obama. However when a police officer white, black or any race is murdered for doing his job the media is short with it’s reporting or not at all. When a white person is killed by a black officer you hear nothing.

Has our so called President spoke publicly about these murders of police officers by blacks, HELL NO he has not. Step up Mr. President, or step down because we do not need you. Has our Attorney General spoke against these murders, no of course not because she was appointed by Barack Obama. Now let me say this, and this is not a threat but common knowledge. I have instructed my officers to be vigilant, if threatened take appropriate action. If that means shoot a thug, then do it and answer for it while you are still alive not dead. Law Enforcement is fed up with this murderous society who want to take out those who protect and serve. Imagine if all law enforcement shut down for just 1 day. There would be murders, rapes, robberies, you name it. America wake up, all of you black, white, Mexican whatever you need the police, we do not need you. End this Black Lives Matter bull shit and start a movement that all lives matter. As for the New Black Panther movement who wants to kill whites and cops, go for it, we are ready for you. You take one of us and there will be 100 who will step up and end you. This letter is not meant to offend anyone, just the feelings of a man who has spent the last 35 years of his life serving and protecting, for what so a thug can take it or to be treated as a criminal by the very people I swore to protect. Let’s get this around folks so maybe our President and the media will get a wake up call. Be safe all of my Brothers and Sisters in blue, not white, black, yellow or brown BLUE.

NYPD Union Chief: Civilians “Not Qualified” To Criticize Copd

The president of the largest NYPD (http://hiphopwired.com/2015/09/14/black-nypd-highway-division-cop-says-he-was-victim-of-racism/)union has stepped up to defend the officer that roughed up Black retired tennis star, James Blake (http://hiphopwired.com/2015/09/13/james-blake-says-nypd-thug-cop-needs-to-be-fired/).

Patrick Lynch, president of the New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, said in a written statement that critics of officer James Frascatore are “not qualified” to judge the actions of police officers during arrests.As reported by Capital New York, Lynch issued a public statement addressed to “all of those inclined to jump to conclusions,” which seemed to be pointed most especially at the media.

Lynch’s words were also sharply aimed others who have openly decried the NYPD’s record of police brutality, yet the union head stood by Frascatore despite his record of complaints filed by citizens he’s manhandled in the past.From Capital New York (http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/city-hall/2015/09/8576794/police-union-head-unjust-and-un-american-judge-blake-arrest):

In his letter, Lynch said Frascatore was being unfairly judged.

“If you have never struggled with someone who is resisting arrest or who pulled a gun or knife on you when you approached them for breaking a law, then you are not qualified to judge the actions of police officers putting themselves in harm’s way for the public good,” he wrote.

“The men and women of the NYPD are once again disheartened to read another knee-jerk reaction from ivory tower pundits who enjoy the safety provided by our police department without understanding the very real risks that we take to provide that safety,” Lynch also wrote.

Frascatore has been placed on modified duty amid an ongoing probe, officials have said.

Frascatore’s takedown of Blake, which was captured on hotel security video released by the NYPD last week, was criticized this morning by Ray Kelly, who led the NYPD for 12 years during the Michael Bloomberg administration. In an interview with WNYC’s Brian Lehrer, Kelly — no ally of Bratton or de Blasio — agreed that Frascetore’s behavior appeared inappropriate.

‘I think he’s still hungry': Florida cops allegedly order gruesome K-9 attack on graffiti artists

http://2d0yaz2jiom3c6vy7e7e5svk.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/wplg_k9_attack_150917a-800x430.jpg

Two Florida street artist have filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging that two Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies ordered a dog in the K-9 unit to eat them.

Humberto Pellegrino and Pedro Claveria explained this week that they had snuck into Pompano Beach train yard to paint train cars when a sheriff’s helicopter and deputies with assault rifles showed up.

The men admitted that they initially hid under one of the trains, but they said that they quickly tried to surrender, WPLG reported (http://www.local10.com/news/gruesome-deputy-k9-attack-leads-to-lawsuit/35314180).

“There was a dog and I saw an assault rifle and I was like, ‘Oh wow, I think those are the cops,'” Pellegrino recalled. “We complied, we never tried to run, we never ran an inch from where we were at.”

The deputies arrest report, however, claimed that the men did not comply with orders to come out from under the train.

Claveria called that a “bold lie.”

“I came out and the first thing I said was, ‘Here are my hands, I’m sorry, I give up,'” he insisted.

According to Claveria, Deputy Gerald “Gerry” Wengert pointed an assault rifle at his head while BSO Detective Davis Acevedo ordered the K-9 unit to attack.

“It was him ripping into me and gnawing,” Claveria pointed out. “I’ve never had an animal attack me that way and it felt like it was never going to stop.”

The deputies asserted in the arrest report that the dog had to also be let loose on Pellegrino because he refused to surrender. But Pellegrino argued that wasn’t true.

“One said, ‘I think he’s ready to eat again,’ and someone said, ‘Oh, I think he’s still hungry,” Pellegrino remarked, observing that he had two choice: “Either sit here and let this dog eat you or do something stupid and get shot in the head.”

The deputies then moved the dog to his other leg, Pellegrino said.

“They kept saying, like, ‘Eat, boy. Eat, boy,’ And they were pulling the dog back every time he would latch onto me so not only was I being bit, but torn.”

Attorney David Brill, who is representing Pellegrino and Claveria, compared the attack to “seeing a knife wound in battle.”

- The case for the clock is a pencil case. It's not briefcase-sized.
- The teachers and police were accusing him of making something that "looked like" a bomb. They didn't actually believe it was a bomb. But they treated the situation as they would with any student creating something that looks like a weapon. This is why the zero tolerance policy is bullshit. So anyone saying "It looks like a bomb, they were playing it safe" OR "How could they think it was a bomb?" is missing the point.

But they didn't evacuate the school, like you do when there's a bomb.

They didn't call a bomb squad - like you do when there's a bomb.

They didn't get as far away from him as possible, like you do when there's a bomb.

Then they put him and the clock in an office: not like you do when there's a bomb

Then they waited with him for the police to arrive, and then they put the clock in the same car as the police.

Then they took pictures of it.

"The issue of black-on-black crime is no more real than the one of "white-on-white crime." Bouie writes:

Yes, from 1976 to 2005, 94 percent of black victims were killed by black offenders, but that racial exclusivity was also true for white victims of violent crime—86 percent were killed by white offenders. Indeed, for the large majority of crimes, you’ll find that victims and offenders share a racial identity, or have some prior relationship to each other. "

According to that races tend to kill members of their own race far more frequently than members of other races. So in essence, black on black crime is no more a problem than white on white crime.

Sacramento ‘hero cop’ faces third federal lawsuit for brutally beating suspects with flashlight

Sacramento, California Sheriff’s Deputy Paul “Scotte” Pfeifer is facing a lawsuit in federal court alleging that he used excessive force in the brutal arrest of 51-year-old John Reyes.

According to the Sacramento Bee (http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/article35847090.html), this is the third lawsuit that Pfeifer has faced since 2009 in which he is accused of brutally beating suspects with his duty-issue flashlight.

Reyes alleges that in December of 2009, Pfeifer “tasered, pepper-sprayed and beat plaintiff in the middle of the street, in broad daylight, with his department-issued flashlight.

The wrongful attack was witnessed by many citizens who were appalled by the conduct, some of whom recorded the deputy’s illegal conduct.”

The beating left Reyes with a “broken nose, broken ribs, a concussion and a large gash above his left eye.”

Reyes and Pfeifer got into an argument when Reyes — who had a lengthy history of run-ins with local police and sheriff’s deputies — asked Pfeifer to move his police cruiser, which was blocking he sidewalk.

Reyes said that he asked politely twice, then became angry with Pfeifer and the dispute quickly escalated.

The Bee said, “Pfeifer then got out of his car and used his pepper spray, Taser and flashlight as the scene was captured on video, according to the lawsuit.”

Reyes was arrested on charges of resisting arrest, although eventually the charges were dropped by the Sacramento County District Attorney.

CIVIL LIBERTIES
Cop Carelessly Runs Over “Role Model” Teen, Dept then Attacks the Dead Teen’s Character

Shortly after the accident, police stated that Anthony had been jaywalking and that alcohol may have been a factor.

“I’m blown away,” Anthony’s former football coach Jason McMains said. “Camacho was a role model who never missed practice and took younger players under his wing”
Camacho, who graduated from Rubidoux High School in June, had enlisted in the Army and was set to report to basic training.

“He was actually about to go to the military. He came over just to spend the last weekend with us before he left,” his sister Kathy Cardenas said (http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2015/09/14/rialto-man-hit-by-police-cruiser-not-expected-to-survive/)

This disgusting act of “victim shaming” is an obvious attempt to cover up for the overt negligence of another officer and is a brazen example of the “thin blue line” in action. Police also claim that their preliminary investigation showed that the officer was traveling within the designated speed limit.
Anthony’s brother-in-law witnessed the horrifying incident and has disputed this claim, stating that the officer was going much faster than the 45 mph speed limit. Michael’s account was corroborated by another witness who claimed that the officer appeared to be going at least 60 mph.

Police Investigator: Cops Beat Me Up

The dash cam went dark as soon as officers saw his ID. Then an officer allegedly taunted him, “What are you going to tell me next? You can’t breathe?”

CHICAGO — A man who investigates the Chicago Police Department (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/07/21/three-killings-by-chicago-police-covered-up-ex-investigator-alleges.html) for a living was beaten by officers once they discovered what he did, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court.

George Roberts is a supervisor at the Independent Police Review Authority (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/04/chicago-s-cops-don-t-even-get-investigated-for-shooting-people-in-the-back.html), the agency responsible for investigating claims of police misconduct (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/09/16/beaten-by-chicago-s-dirtiest-cop.html) and officer-involved shootings. On New Year’s Day 2015, Roberts was pulled over after he left a bar. One of six officers who stopped Roberts found his IPRA identification badge.

Immediately afterwards, the police dash cam recording the traffic stop cuts to black; Roberts alleges in his federal lawsuit against the police this is because another officer intentionally turned off the camera. Roberts’s attorney claims police paperwork did not even note any footage existed. In fact, police only admitted to its existence when Roberts’s criminal counsel discovered it during his trial for driving under the influence.

Roberts, who is black, claims he was pulled out of the car and thrown to the ground again—a collision so violent that it made him lose control of his bowels. From there Roberts was taken to the lock-up, where he stayed overnight in his soiled clothes.

The only visit from an officer that night was borne not of concern but jubilation, according to Roberts. A white-shirt officer, which denotes high rank, peered in on Roberts as he sat defeated on the cell floor, then pointed and laughed.

The deep, ugly, and nearly unbelievable rabbit hole of violence and corruption within the Chicago PD (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/24/1424510/-The-deep-ugly-and-damn-near-unbelievable-rabbit-hole-of-violence-corruption-within-the-Chicago-PD)

As Chicago continues to struggles with record-setting violence, these findings suggest that the Chicago Police Department plays a significant contributing role in the culture of violence in the city and that its corruption, from top to bottom, is as responsible for the underdevelopment of inner-city Chicago as any single institution. The physical, emotional, and financial toll that police have cost the city and its citizens is criminal.

As you will read below, the police will stop at nothing to keep you from learning just how criminal they truly are.

Lorenzo Davis was the supervising investigator for the Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA), and the facts in many of the cases just weren't adding up to him. He had been a Chicago police officer for 23 years and served as a commander, the head of a detective unit, then the head of an entire district, and eventually oversaw the entire public housing unit until he retired and joined the review board.

Soon, Davis determined that six shootings were unjustified. That may not seem like a lot, but it's a 600 percent increase from the one shooting that was deemed unjustified in the previous eight years. His supervisors demanded that he reverse the rulings. He refused, and on July 9, 2015, he was fired (http://www.wbez.org/news/city-fires-investigator-who-found-cops-fault-shootings-112423). The city of Chicago doesn't even deny that this is why they fired him. Here's the official statement:

Davis’s termination came less than two weeks after top IPRA officials, evaluating Davis’s job performance, accused him of “a clear bias against the police” and called him “the only supervisor at IPRA who resists making requested changes as directed by management in order to reflect the correct finding with respect to OIS,” as officer-involved shootings are known in the agency.

Mind you, the man they are saying has a clear bias against the police is a decorated officer from the department with nothing but glowing reviews.

psychopathic sadists as prison guards

Guarding the Prison Guards: New York State’s Troubled Disciplinary System

Mr. Fabian said the officer, Michael Bukowski, a seven-year veteran, had then ordered him to face the wall and brace himself in the “pat-frisk” position, arms outstretched and legs spread. As he did so, Mr. Fabian recalled, he looked down and saw the toe of a boot swinging up between his legs.

He saw a flash of light, felt a piercing pain and collapsed. “He told me to get up, but all I could do was crawl back to my cube,” Mr. Fabian, who is now 21, told investigators later. He lay on the floor in his cubicle in the prison’s dormitory, groaning and crying, for almost an hour before hobbling to lunch. In the mess hall, a sergeant sent him to the prison’s medical unit. He was soon loaded into a van and driven 80 miles north to a hospital in Albany.

Doctors there performed emergency surgery, removing part of his right testicle.

That Guy Holding A Sign On The Side Of The Road Could Be A Cop Looking For Drivers Breaking The Law

So you’re stopped at a traffic light, when you see something interesting out the window. Of course, you pull out your phone and snap a photo to let all your friends on social media see whatever crazy thing you just saw — which is exactly what New Hampshire police think you’ll do, in violation of the state’s laws on cell phone use behind the wheel.

And sometimes, that spectacle by the side of the road has been staged by law enforcement to catch you in the act.

In one recent example, a woman received a $124 ticket after she snapped a photo at a red light of a man with a sign around his neck reading, “Repent! The end is near!” reports the Associated Press (http://news.yahoo.com/repent-undercover-hampshire-cops-nab-cell-ban-violators-171117901.html).

She said her daughter begged her to take the photo with her phone, and now she’s regretting fulfilling that request: shortly after she took the photo she was pulled over and told the man with the sign was an undercover officer — and he’d just seen her breaking the state’s new law against using phones or other electronic devices while driving.

Man Gets $35k Settlement After Arrest For Posting 'Fuck The Fucking Cops' On Department Facebook Page

It's becoming quite a period of time for the profane when it comes to interacting with law enforcement, apparently. We had just recently discussed one man's victory in federal court over a town that didn't appreciate him writing (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150916/04523432268/federal-judge-profanely-insulting-entire-town-speeding-ticket-is-protected-speech.shtml) "Fuck your shitty town bitches" on a speeding ticket he'd mailed in. Well, back in 2012, another delightful human, Thomas Smith, was apparently arrested for being an ass (http://motherboard.vice.com/read/guy-who-wrote-fuck-the-fucking-cops-on-facebook-wins-35000-from-cops) on the Arena, Wisconsin, Facebook page.

In July 2012, the Village of Arena in Wisconsin posted a note on its Facebook page announcing a slew of arrests. Smith then posted "Fuck ths fucking cops they ant shit but fucking racist basturds an fucking all of y'all who is racist," as well as "Fuck them nigers bitchs wat you got on us not a dam thing so fuck off dicks." He was arrested for disorderly conduct and unlawful use of a computer and telephone. He was originally convicted by a local jury, but that decision was overturned by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, which ruled Smith's First Amendment rights were violated.

Um, yeah, memo to the police in Arena: being a jerk to police, calling them names, and using deplorable language is no more a violation of the law than blatantly mispelling the insults themselves and using the kind of grammar that I actually kind of wish would get people thrown in the clink. Likely the jury was presented with what Smith had written and decided he was a jerk and ruled against him. That doesn't change the fact that the arrest and conviction were both unconstitutional, of course. And, after Smith and his attorney sued the village, the village agreed, settling with Smith for $35,000.

Smith and his attorney, Tom Aquino, sued the village for an unspecified amount. Wednesday, the village settled with him, according to Aquino.

"We have always believed that the defendant’s liability was clear. Federal and state courts have routinely held that the right to free speech is not limited to polite speech alone," Aquino wrote in a blog post. "In our country, we are entitled to criticize our government with passion. The use of some four-letter words in the course of doing so is never a crime."
It can't be easy to be a good cop and have to endure a profane tirade on a public town Facebook page, but that doesn't excuse the violation of basic civil rights in retaliation. And Smith's speech, while lacking poetry and panache, is certainly protected. It's about time law enforcement realizes that profanity is still free speech so that they can stop costing municipalities this kind of settlement money.

‘It is great, if you’re white': Madison cops arrest up to 30% of black kids a year, report finds

According to Costantini, Wisconsin is only second to Indiana, which has the highest arrest rates in the country for black kids. But Madison doubles Wisconsin’s arrest rate for black kids, making them eight times more likely to be arrested that white children.

“In a city where whites outnumber blacks more than 11 to 1, Madison made over 1000 arrests of black children between the ages of 10 and 17 in 2013,” she wrote. “It’s unclear how many kids may have been arrested more than once, but only 3,247 black children of that age live in the city, according to the Census.”

Costantini said that she interviewed more than two dozen black teenagers in Madison and each one told a story about being “unfairly targeted by the police.”

Corrupt Tulsa Sheriff Stanley Glanz indicted, resigns immediately to avoid termination (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/30/1426364/-Corrupt-Tulsa-Sheriff-Stanley-Glanz-indicted-resigns-immediately-to-avoid-termination)

It was Sheriff Stanley Glanz who appointed his booster and friend, senior citizen Bob Bates, as a Deputy Sheriff. Bob Bates then shot and killed an unarmed father, Eric Harris, during a rather routine arrest.

On its face, the police murder of Eric Harris (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/13/1377380/-VIDEO-Shot-unjustly-and-gasping-for-air-Tulsa-police-officer-tells-dying-man-Fuck-Your-Breath), a 44-year-old father in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was wrong. Surrounded by police, Harris had surrendered and was on the ground when Bob Bates, a deputy, claims to have accidentally shot him with a handgun instead of his Taser. For what he claimed was a mistake, Bates was charged with second-degree manslaughter (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/13/1377523/-Deputy-who-shot-and-killed-Eric-Harris-in-Oklahoma-charged-with-manslaughter).

With no other details, that story was bad. But then the video was released showing Harris nervously gasping for air, screaming that he couldn't breathe, and asking why he was shotAnother officer, Joe Byars, tells him, "Fuck your breath (http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/local/sheriff-s-office-confirms-names-of-deputies-in-video-says/article_5e492153-5a2a-55c4-9fee-afc92dbd3a4d.html)."

Not only is Bates a fake volunteer police officer (Tulsa calls them "reserve deputies"), it turns out Bates was lavishing the department with international cruises to the Bahamas and Mexico (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/04/14/tulsa-shooter-was-sheriff-s-sugar-daddy.html), took regular fishing trips with the lead sheriff, Stanley Glanz, and was also chairman (http://heavy.com/news/2015/04/robert-bates-tulsa-reserve-deputy-sheriff-arrested-charged-manslaughter-shooting-eric-harris-oklahoma-accident-video-volunteer-cop-insurance/)of the sheriff's recent campaign.

“Bob Bates came on board because he had all this money,” one former reserve deputy said, adding that the sheriff and other higher-ups would “go on these cruises in the Bahamas and in Mexico all the time.”“[Bates] foots the bill,” the deputy added. “The sheriff just gave him free rein because he was treating him right. He bought his way into this position.”

Another former full-time deputy said Bates was “getting glad-handed” around the office because of his wealth.

“This is your typical Southern good ol’ boys system,” he said, adding that before the shooting Bates planned to take Glanz on a fishing trip to Florida.

Supervisors at the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office were ordered to falsify a reserve deputy’s training records, giving him credit for field training he never took and firearms certifications he should not have received, sources told the Tulsa World.

At least three of reserve deputy Robert Bates’ supervisors were transferred after refusing to sign off on his state-required training, multiple sources speaking on condition of anonymity told the World.

Now Sheriff Stanley Glanz, who went on fishing trips and international cruises paid for by Bates,is claiming he can't find the paperwork (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/16/1378113/-Tulsa-Deputies-ordered-to-falsify-records-of-reserve-deputy-who-shot-and-killed-Eric-Harris) verifying the certification Bates was required to have in order to be out with officers the day he killed Harris.

This isn't just disorganization.

This scandal cost Harris his life. It's increasingly clear that Bates, who also purchased police vehicles for the department, was given so much freedom because of the gifts he showered on the the law enforcement agency. He he felt like he could do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. Beyond being 73 years old, he had no business even attempting to Taser a subdued Harris—never mind shoot and kill him.

But they were fired, right? Because this would be damning evidence of racial bias unfit for officers of the law, right?

Nah. Not even close. The officers were given a three-day suspension.

Delaware Cops Beat Mentally Ill Man When His Quadriplegic Wife Was Unable to Follow Order to Stand Up

Nephews told police their aunt was disabled before they entered the back bedroom — but officers dismissed their claims.

The Rehoboth Beach couple said state police found Ruther Hayes, a disabled veteran who takes medication for schizophrenia, giving a sponge bath to his wife, Lisa, when they burst into her mother’s home June 30, 2014, looking for two relatives,

Officers with the Special Operations Response Team found the disabled couple, who were staying with Lisa Hayes’ mother for two weeks while their daughter attended an ice skating camp, in a back bedroom of the home, according to a lawsuit.

Five family members had already told police that Lisa Hayes, a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy, was unable to use her legs, and the lawsuit claims officers should have seen her wheelchair in the bedroom where her husband bathed her.

But state troopers pointed their guns at the disabled woman and “shouted at her to do that which she could not: stand up,” the lawsuit claims.

Ruther Hayes tried to cover his partially nude wife with a sheet, but the lawsuit shows that police shoved him to the ground and repeatedly punched him before shocking the mentally ill man twice with a stun gun.

State police detained Ruther Hayes and charged him resisting arrest, although the charge was later dropped.

Ruther Hayes told the officers he was a disabled veteran and showed his military ID before trying to lay a sheet over his wife, who was naked from the waist down.

That’s when police grabbed his arms and began to punch him repeatedly.

“Because Mr. Hayes (a disabled veteran) did not immediately fall, an (officer) said, ‘He must have been well trained,’”

Another officer shocked Ruther Hayes on the shoulder, and he fell to the ground and bloodied his nose, but officers continued to beat him and stunned him a second time.

Washington State Considers Ending the 'Virtual License to Kill' Given to the Police

The law from 1986 assumes that officers who kill, act in good faith unless “evil intent” can be proven.

Prosecutors from all of Washington State’s 39 counties will meet this week to consider possible changes to that state’s law regarding lethal force by police (http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2015/sep/27/police-use-of-force-cases-shielded-by-strict/), which enacts a virtually impregnable wall of “blue privilege” around officers who kill while on duty.

Enacted in 1986 with strong support from police unions, RCW 9A.16.040, which addresses “Justifiable homicide or use of deadly force” by a police officer (http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9A.16.040), assumes that officers who kill, act in good faith unless “evil intent” can be proven.

Jamitha Burley of Amnesty International describes the Washington statute as “the most egregious” law of its kind in the United States. Attorney Jeff Robinson, who directs the Washington ACLU’s Center for Justice, believes that the statute is “virtually a license to kill.”

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg observes that officers who use lethal force in Washington are protected by an “almost perfect defense” – not merely the “qualified immunity” routinely invoked by police everywhere, but something closer to absolute impunity.

Within hours of the victim’s death, Police Chief Jim Nicks told the media that Zehm had “lunged” at Thompson, thereby threatening his life. Other officers claimed that Zhem had a prior arrest for assaulting an officer. Both claims were conscious, deliberate lies. Two weeks later, Detective Terry Ferguson, who “investigated” the incident for the Spokane PD, filed a report claiming that none of the seven officers who assaulted Zehm committed a crime.

Detective Ferguson had little time to investigate what was done to Zehm, because she was too busy investigating the victim. She persuaded a judge to issue warrants to pry into every aspect of Zehm’s medical, employment, and personal history, on the pretext that the deceased was suspected of “assaulting a police officer.”

This was actually an unsuccessful effort to exhume something – anything – that could be used to denigrate the victim. (It’s worth remembering that officer-involved deaths are usually investigated as “suspected assaults on law enforcement,” rather than as suspected criminal homicides.)

Alabama cops use pepper spray to punish kids for talking back — but judge won’t make them stop

A federal judge won’t stop an Alabama school district from punishing students with pepper spray for minor offenses, but he ordered school resource officers to come up with a new policy for using the nonlethal devices.U.S. District Court Judge Abdul Kallon ruled Wednesday that six Birmingham students sprayed by SROs with Freeze+P during fights were entitled to a total of $40,000 in excessive force claims, reported AL.com (http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2015/09/federal_judge_orders_new_polic.html).

The Southern Poverty Law Center — which filed a federal lawsuit five years ago against the school district, the police chief and six SROs — claimed police used chemical irritant 110 times on 300 students, most of whom were black.

More than 1,200 other students in the predominantly black school district were also exposed to pepper spray during those incidents, the SLPC reported.

what I'm seeing is that black students are more unruly than white students and can't be controlled by normal methods. But I think I already gathered this from the thousand of videos of black students wilding in class.
But thanks for corroborating.

The Prominence and Plight Of Girls in the Juvenile Justice System

The number of juveniles in the nation’s criminal justice system has been in decline for years. California and New York have closed some of their largest and most troubled juvenile detention facilities. Missouri has recently been credited with doing a better job of caring for its most troubled children, further limiting the state’s population of teens in punitive settings.

But a recent report by researchers has highlighted what they call a disturbing trend: the prominence and plight of girls in the juvenile justice system.

In 1992, according to the report, Gender Injustice (http://www.nationalcrittenton.org/gender-injustice/), girls made up 20 percent of the children arrested in the U.S. In 2012, girls accounted for 29 percent of children arrested, a near 50 percent increase. The percentage of girls in the population of children sent to formal detention facilities grew similarly over those years.

The authors of the report, Francine Sherman, a professor at Boston College Law School, and Annie Balck, a lawyer formerly with the Children’s Law Center in Washington, D.C., explain the trend by citing the unintended consequences of a crackdown on domestic violence as well as the failures of reform efforts to address the specific needs of girls.

Girls in the juvenile justice system, they argue, are far more likely to have suffered a range of trauma at home before they wind up arrested. Indeed, girls are 4.4 times more likely than boys to have been sexually abused prior to their brushes with the law.

“In every category, girls in the juvenile justice system find themselves there having experienced more adversity than boys,” said Sherman, whose report was done in partnership with The National Crittenton Foundation. The foundation says that it is dedicated to the health and security of girls and young women across the country.

Dept Says Cop Followed Procedure When He Mistook a 70-Yo Man’s Stroke for DUI and Beat Him

“He had my arm twisted behind my back. I said it was hurting and he said, ‘I’ll break your arm.'”

Police refuse to investigate an off-duty officer of using excessive force after mistaking an elderly stroke victim for a drunk driver. Immediately after throwing a 70-year-old man out of his truck, the cop restrained him on the ground by pressing his knee into a blocked artery on the side of the elderly man’s neck. Although he repeatedly informed the officer that he was suffering from a stroke, the enraged cop continued to manhandle him until other officers finally arrived.

While driving to Walmart around 6 p.m. on Sunday, 70-year-old James Miller began feeling dizzy and ill before veering off the road and accidentally hitting a house with his pick-up truck. Instead of correctly reading the situation, off-duty Columbia police Sgt. Scott Hedrick ran out of the house and immediately pulled Miller out of the vehicle. After slamming the elderly man to the ground, Hedrick pressed his knee into a blocked artery on the right side of Miller’s neck.

Miller’s abuse is hardly an isolated incident.

In May we reported the story of officer Shaun Jergens (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/cop-resigns-body-cam-shows-pepper-spray-taser-man-medical-emergency/) who mistook a man’s medical distress for “non-compliance” and subsequently pepper-spray, tasered, and assaulted him.

Last year, San Antonio police severely beat a man after mistaking his diabetic attack as drunkenness. (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/police-beat-diabet-dash-cam-medical-emergency/)

The list goes on. (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/?s=diabetic+attack)

The Phantom Waistband Maneuver: When Police Shoot Unarmed Black Men

For decades, the phantom firearm grab has served as a virtually unimpeachable excuse when cops shoot unarmed citizens, a companion to the “furtive movement” in the police-shooting playbook. How often has the waistband reach been cited? It’s impossible to say. U.S. law enforcers don’t even count their shootings, let alone tabulate circumstances.

But anecdotal evidence strongly indicates that most victims of phantom-reach shootings are black men or boys. And new research that builds on the venerable scientific concept of “affective realism” suggests an explanation that springs from a stereotype: Cops may “see” guns that don’t exist because their experiences convince them that an African American male they perceive to be an adversary is likely to be armed.

As psychologist Lisa Feldman Barrett and her associate Jolie Wormwood put it recently in a New York Times op-ed, “If you are in a part of town with a high crime rate, your brain may well predict a weapon.”

But it does, if you trust the police accounts that crop up with regularity. Most recently:

On Sept. 23, police in Wilmington, Del., shot and killed a wheelchair-bound man, Jeremy McDole, 28, after they said he “reached for his waistband.” Police say McDole was armed and suicidal, though his kin dispute that. Video of the shooting has prompted sharp criticism of the police actions. Some have called for a federal investigation (http://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/local/2015/09/28/councilman-calls-federal-probe-shooting-man-wheelchair/72993584/) [5].
On Sept. 12, police in Huntsville, Ala., said officers shot a suspected car thief in the shoulder, as “it appeared” the man “was attempting to pull a weapon from his waistband as he ran towards the officers.” No gun was found. The victim of the shooting was treated at a hospital for his injury and sent to jail. More than two weeks after the shooting, Huntsville authorities refused to release anything but cursory details (http://www.decaturdaily.com/news/local/internal-probe-of-huntsville-officer-shooting-decatur-man-awaits-police/article_a1b72242-6fe8-5f0f-bfaf-bb236735cdfe.html) [6], citing an ongoing administrative review.
On Aug. 17, police in San Jose, Calif., used the waistband-reach explanation after officers shot and killed a man, a suspect in an earlier homicide who was said to be armed. A day later, after “we interviewed all the witnesses,” police admitted (http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_28668925/san-jose-scrutiny-over-officer-involved-shooting-grows) [7] that the dead man had not been armed and was shot in the back while running away.

Questionable police shootings with waistband citations have occurred so regularly in the past five years that journalists have begun aggregating them (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ricardo-diaz-zeferino-waistband_55a7f641e4b0896514d0a044) [8]. The growing list includes three waistband-reach police shootings in an 11-month period in San Diego in 2013-14, as well as disturbing recent cases in Los Angeles and Houston.

Among them, the San Jose case six weeks ago seems to stand out as a glaring gotcha moment in the long history of waistband cases.

Samuel Walker, the veteran Nebraska-based criminologist and police accountability watchdog, told the San Jose Mercury News that it seemed clear that police had prematurely seized upon the “easiest” explanation—the waistband reach—in a questionable shooting.

After police admitted to a fabricated explanation, Walker said, “It makes everything else they say suspect."

"In communities of color, this is the concern, that the standard response is that 'he made a furtive movement and went for something in the waist,'" LaDoris Cordell, the recently retired director of San Jose's Office of the Independent Police Auditor, told the paper. "We've heard it a million times. Now we hear it again in this one. I can tell you, I'm getting emails from people in San Jose saying, 'How are we going to trust the police department?'"

12-Year-Old Black Boy Suspended For Staring At Classmate

Last week, an Ohio judge refused to erase the suspension of a 12-year-old black boy who waspunished for staring at his classmate last year (http://www.fox19.com/story/30158100/12-year-old-boy-suspended-for-staring-at-girl).

The boy was suspended several days after participating in a staring contest with a white female classmate at St. Gabriel Consolidated School, and allegedly made her feel “fearful.”

School officials were notified by the girl’s parents the day after the contest, claiming she felt intimidated by the boy.

But the boy, who was forced to write an apology letter and subsequently suspended for a day, maintained he was unaware that his classmate was feeling uncomfortable.

“I never knew she was scared because she was laughing,” he wrote

Criminalizing Blackness: A Mississippi Community College's School-to-Jail Pipeline

My turn came when I discovered that my baby brother - my beautiful, incredible, sweet, smart, loving, brilliant baby brother, Akinola Gonzalez - had been arrested on his campus at Hinds Community College where he is studying engineering in Raymond, Mississippi. I called my mother immediately. Her voice sounded so worried, at times so powerless, so frantic ... so exhausted. Our worst nightmare, being forced to face our inability to protect him and keep him safe, was happening. Our illusion of successfully getting him to "safety" via a college campus rapidly dissipated.

He was arrested in the early evening. The officers told us they were backed up and had no idea when they would be able to process him. The charge, they said, was "failure to comply," but they would offer no further details.

After spending nearly 23 hours in jail, my brother was finally released after we were able to hire a bondsman - only after an obscene amount of runaround from the holding facility. We were told they "didn't know where he was," then told he was transported to court (where we had to find and hire an attorney at the last minute). We then found out he was transported not to court but to a penal farm. On Raymond Penal Farm (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hinds-County-Penal-Farm/115247805202804?fref=ts&rf=145765088795066), the city of Raymond, Mississippi, is extracting forced labor from countless Black people, who are kept in holding cells for misdemeanors.

We were furious. We discovered later that my brother was strip-searched (twice), humiliated, transferred into a prison jumpsuit and told to sign a piece a paper from Raymond Penal Farm stating he would work off his bond at $50 per day until he could be released. His bond was $500.

The crime? Allegedly, "sagging." Sagging (http://www.usprisonculture.com/blog/2011/09/30/sagging-pants-hypercriminalization-and-school-pushout/), the wearing of one's pants below the waistline often times exposing one's underwear, has been a hot source of debate for some time (http://www.citylab.com/crime/2015/09/saggy-pants-and-respectability-politics-in-dadeville-alabama/405460/). Champions of "respectability politics" often seek to portray sagging as related to gang culture, crime and irresponsible parenting. Some critics of the practice also use homophobic rhetoric to dissuade men and boys from sagging, circulating the myth that sagging is a way to signal an openness to sex between men in prison.

Although my brother claims he was not sagging, we are left baffled, wondering how an alleged dress code violation could possibly lead to an arrest. How does a young man, living on campus and paying tuition, find himself booked, strip-searched, incarcerated and sent to a penal farm because of how he chooses to wear his pants?
