The 395 Kids Philando Castile Left Behind
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...gEmail__062217
Castile Killing Jury Was Stacked For Defense
A more intimate look at the jurors in Yanez’s criminal case, compiled by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, offers not only insights into how they arrived at their decisions, but a look at just how well-stacked the jury was against a just verdict for Castile.
There were just two black people on the jury of Castile’s supposed peers.
The rest of those selected for the jury were overwhelmingly middle-aged white Minnesotans, many of whom expressly stated support for police or a belief in the infallibility of the criminal justice system.
Justice for Philando Castile never had a chance.
The system isn’t broken;
in fact, it’s working exactly the way it’s supposed to.
The Yanez case is yet more evidence of exactly how well it continues to function.

Blatant authoritarianism in a supposedly blue state
New Jersey Assembly Passes Bill Requiring K-12 Students Learn to Interact with Police
critics said it appeared to place the onus for police interactions largely on kids
“This legislation does not empower young people, especially those living in brown and Black communities,” New Jersey-based teacher and activist Zellie Imani told NBC News.
“Instead, it empowers law enforcement by allowing them to continue to evade accountability for abuse and misconduct while forcing the burden on the public.”
“The Garden State puts black residents behind bars at 12 times the rate of white residents,”
“One could argue that the example of young Tamir Rice, who was a school child with zero time to engage with the police before being gunned down or Philando Castile, a registered gun owner and law abiding citizen being killed in his car without provocation, suggests that
it may not be the citizens who have an issue when engaging with the police.”
“Should we be teaching kids how to interact peacefully with police,
or should we be teaching police how to interact peacefully with civilians?”
“Placing the onus on individuals,” Allen-Kyle told NBC News,
“whether it be students or drivers, to take responsibility for their safety during police interactions is, frankly, ridiculous.”

Sessions Hispanic lawyer gets slapped in court, hilarious. Sending a Hispanic lawyer to screw the browns was no accident, for sure.
Court Tells Jeff Sessions To Get ed, AGAIN!
The Good Guys
The Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP) provides free and low-cost legal assistance to more than 10,000 immigrants each year. NWIRP represents clients in court, but it also hosts Know Your Rights seminars and legal clinics throughout the state of Washington.
The Bad Guys
A normal, decent human being sees this and is grateful that there are good people in the world. But the Trump Justice Department are not normal, decent human beings. Jeff Sessions and his band of nativist jackals look at traumatized women and children getting help with immigration forms and say, This aggression will not stand, Man!
On April 12, NWIRP got a letter from the DOJ’s Disciplinary Counsel at the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) ordering NWIRP attorneys to “cease and desist from representing aliens” with their paperwork.
The DOJ says that attorneys must either represent immigrants through every phase of their cases, or give no legal advice at all.
DOJ attorney Victor Mercado-Santana got to splain to the court why the immigrants would be so much better off going it alone.
THE COURT: All right. Counsel, again, I’m trying to dovetail exactly what it is that your regulation addresses.
And when I asked you about what appears to be transparent disclosure by NWIRP, by the fact that they put their name on their pleading, and in terms of your reference to they didn’t tell you exactly know who it is, we’re disclosing our en y — not individually — but you clearly know the organization. […]
MR. MERCADO-SANTANA: There are many concerns about notario fraud, there are many concerns about quality of representation, of making sure that the parties know who the advocate is in a case, which is why this notice of appearance is required. […]It actually would benefit the litigants that appear before the immigration court.
Was there any allegation that NWIRP provided bad advice to desperate people just trying to get their forms filled out? NOPE.In fact, notario fraud, where desperate people get scammed into paying unqualified “consultants” for help with immigration paperwork, is a real problem. Did any of these fraudsters get a “cease and desist letter?”
THE COURT: Okay. So based upon the evidence that you have in terms of the enforcement of that regulation,
does EOIR have evidence of any poor representation on the part of NWIRP?
MR. MERCADO-SANTANA: Based on the record,
we don’t have any of that currently, right now,
regarding NWIRP representation.
THE COURT: And, counsel, are you aware or
do you know how many other cease and desist communications are outstanding,
or is this the only one that’s outstanding that you’re aware of, from your client’s perspective?
MR. MERCADO-SANTANA:
I’m not aware of any specific example in other cir stances.
But my understanding is, there has been enforcement in other cases. I just don’t have any particular information about any other cases to represent to the Court.
So, that’s a “No.”
The DOJ is ignoring actual notario fraud and concentrating on eradicating the scourge of pro bono attorneys. Your tax dollars at work

A Pregnant Black Woman Called The Cops To Report A Burglary. They Killed Her
Charleena Lyles, a pregnant black woman of thirty years with a history of mental issues, called the Seattle police to report a burglary. At “some point” during the according to the officers, Lyles produced/picked up a knife.
Both officers immediately gunned her down, in front of her children, in her own home, after she had called the police herself.
“Why couldn’t they have Tased her?” mourns Lyles’s sister, Monika Williams. “They could have taken her down. I could have taken her down.”
Both officers carried nonlethal weapons, but chose to end a woman’s life instead.
They have been placed on administrative leave before inevitably being exonerated of any wrongdoing.
452 people have been killed by police officers this year; in general, black men are killed five times more often than white men,

How America’s idiotic drug prohibition helped kill Philando Castile and give the policeman who killed him an excuse to walk free
The Minnesota cop who was acquitted last week of killing Philando Castile used the fact that he smelled marijuana in the car as part of his defense.
Whether Officer Jeronimo Yanez really believed Castile’s presumed pot use made him more dangerous or whether the testimony influenced the jury’s decision to acquit remains unknown, but its use in his defense illustrates the enduring demonization of the plant and its users.
Yanez didn’t mention marijuana in Reynolds’ video, but in court transcripts of his testimony, Yanez said he opened fire on Castile in part because he could smell marijuana and he assumed Castile had been using it in front of the child.
“I thought I was gonna die
and I thought if he’s — if he has the guts and audacity to smoke marijuana in front of the five-year-old girl and risk her lungs and risk her life by giving her secondhand smoke, and the front-seat passenger doing the same thing, then what — what care does he give about me?” Yanez said.
The argument is that smoking pot in front of kids makes one a stone-cold killer.
in Yanez’s mind, someone who would smoke pot around kids is not only endangering his own life, but would be willing to kill a cop over a pot charge or a broken taillight (the original reason for the traffic stop).

Would You Believe It? TSA Is Requiring You To Pull Out Every Piece Of Paper In Your Bags
The Transportation Safety Administration is considering implementing a new national policy that would require passengers to remove books from their bags at airport checkpoints, like they do laptops.
And given the administration’s reputation for religious profiling,
the procedure could be used to violate passengers’ First Amendment rights.
“[B]ooks raise very special privacy issues,” Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union, wrote in response.
“There is a long history of special legal protection for the privacy of one’s reading habits in the United States,
not only through numerous Supreme Court and other court decisions, but
also through state laws that criminalize the violation of public library reading privacy or
require a warrant to obtain book sales, rental, or lending records.”
“We’re going to raise the bar for, generally speaking, aviation security, much higher than it is now,” Kelly told “Fox News
The new policy applies to all paper products, and has been introduced in two states—Missouri and California—since May.
So far, it’s proven disastrous for an industry already under heavy scrutiny.

Florida Cop Invents Own Law In Hopes Of Arresting Black Man For Walking
Last week, in Jacksonville, Florida, Officer J.S. Bolen of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office aggressively confronted Devonte Shipman, a 21-year-old black man, for jaywalking, attempted to arrest him, and then
proceeded to make up a law in order to file an additional charge.
There is video (via Blacktivist), and it is absolutely freaking nauseating. It’s sickening. The way this officer talks to this young man over a jaywalking charge, you would think he just set the damn crosswalk on fire.
In the video, Shipman asks the officer what he did wrong; Officer Bolen responds by saying “Take your camera and point it across there at the red hand,” and then tells him that he was fining him and his friend $65 for jaywalking, and demanded they get in Bolen’s car. For… jaywalking. Shipman was taken aback and asked why — what with jaywalking not being a crime people are traditionally hauled away in police vehicles for — and Bolen said he would throw him in jail for “resisting.”
On the way to the car, Officer Bolen asked for his ID, and Shipman said he didn’t have it on him.
“That’s another infraction,” Officer Bolen said. “In the state of Florida, you have to have an ID card on you identifying who you are or I can detain you for seven hours until I figure out who you are.”
EXCEPT IT IS NOT. It is, if you are driving, but Shipman was clearly not driving. As evidenced by the fact that he was being charged with jaywalking.
Nonetheless, Officer Bolen issued him a $136 ticket for violating Florida Statute 322.15, which states:
“Every licensee shall have his or her driver license, which must be fully legible with no portion of such license faded, altered, mutilated, or defaced, in his or her immediate possession at all times when operating a motor vehicle and shall present or submit the same upon the demand of a law enforcement officer or an authorized representative of the department.”
He also issued a citation for $62.50 for failing to obey a pedestrian control signal. So that is $263.50, in citations, for crossing the street at the wrong time.
Not only that, but at one point, Shipman and his friend, who was recording the video, were
surrounded by three police vehicles. For, again, jaywalking.
During this argument, by the way, another person walks across the street, willy nilly, and is not “detained” for doing so.

‘I told him I can’t breathe’: Police punch teen girl after mistaking her for black male suspect
The 19-year-old girl turned around at the intersection where she had paused and noticed three police cars. One of the officers, she said, had already drawn his gun.
What followed, according to both Hargrove and police, was a case of mistaken iden y and an altercation in which police punched Hargrove in the mouth, unleashed a police K-9 dog on her and arrested her. Though the incident took place June 18, it gained wider attention this week after the Bakersfield chapter of the NAACP shared a video of Hargrove’s account on its Facebook page that garnered millions of views.
On the day police stopped Hargrove, officers had been
looking for a suspect — described as a 25- to 30-year-old, bald black man standing 5-foot-10 and weighing about 170 pounds —
who had threatened several people with a machete at a nearby grocery store,
“She appeared to be a male and matched the description of the suspect that had brandished the machete and was also within the same complex the suspect had fled to,” Christopher Moore, the arresting officer, wrote in his report.
But Hargrove is none of those things.
For starters, she is female. She stands 5-foot-2 and weighs 115 pounds “soaking wet,”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...t-draw7&wpmm=1
male, female, any size, they all look the same to cops
This story was ed up. Shorty is about to get paid.
There is that story from a few years ago in a suburb of Chicago. Not violent like above but just as egregious. A fellow who owned a smoke shop had an adversarial relationship with the police dept there. The finally busted him for cocaine, or, heroin, I forget which. The cops found a bag on his counter next to his register. The only way he survived was he'd just recently had a security system put in because he was afraid somebody was going to break in and the only way he could get insurance on the business was to lay out for the security system. The cam picked up the cops placing the gd bag on the counter.
Can you imagine sitting and conspiring to do this at the police station and then going home afterward and conducting a life with your wife & children? It's heartbreaking.
& nothing happened to police involved.
The guy got a check & his freedom.

Protest At Your Own Peril: Inhumane Ways Baton Rouge Police Treated Protesters They Locked Up After The Police Murder of Alton Sterling
1. Protesters were pepper-sprayed and threatened with violence in the prison.
Nearly every interview referenced prison staff violence (or the threat of violence).
One guard pepper sprayed approximately thirty men, all being held in one cell, for being too loud.
Thirty minutes later, the men were pepper sprayed again, with no reason given.
A prison guard reportedly also sprayed a group of detainees while they were singing gospel songs.
2. Protesters were denied medical care in the prison.
prison staff doubled down and failed to provide any medical treatment for their burning eyes and throats, despite prison policies that require medical treatment.
Prison staff also refused to provide medical care for injuries sustained during arrests, including head trauma, punctures from being tasered, and a swollen ankle.
The only treatment one protester with diabetes received, after hours of complaints about her spiraling blood sugar, was cookie crumbs wrapped in a napkin.
3. Protesters were subjected to inhumane and unsanitary conditions in the prison.
Detainees were housed in unsanitary cells caked with grime and blood, coating the walls.
Prison staff didn’t provide basic supplies to detainees, such as tampons, toothbrushes, toilet paper, soap, or even running water in some cases.
Prison officials apparently adjusted the air conditioning to freezing cold temperatures
none of the interviewed detainees received a free telephone call after being booked into the facility, violating the prison’s own policies.
4. Protesters were crammed into cells without space to sit or lie down overnight in prison.
The cells had enough space for eight to ten people to sit, but at times contained 20-to-40 people for hours and even overnight.
One of the detainees was a 17-year old minor, who was deliberately separated at the prison from her mother.
The minor spent the night terrified, housed in an adult prison, in violation of the Louisiana Children’s Code.
A prison guard mocked a detainee, who identifies as female, for requesting housing with other females.
5. Protesters were deliberately humiliated by the prison staff in group strip searches.
Five of the interviewed protesters reported being forced to undergo group strip searches.
The strip searches required that protesters disrobe completely, expose their genitals, and spread their “butt cheeks” for prison guards.
Even the seventeen year old was strip-searched.
claim the searches were necessary to maintain a secure environment,

WATCH: Man-bunned Cop Accused of Breaking Into Car, Walks Away When Confronted
In the video, an unidentified man comes across a plainclothes, man-bunned officer with the Passaic County Sheriff’s Office whose hands are busy doing something behind a tire in the back of the man’s minivan.
The man confronts the red-shirted officer, who is wearing gloves, demanding to know why the police felt it necessary to break into his van. He says:
“Yo, is you doing, yo?
What the is you doing?
What is you in my van for?…
What is you in my car for when I’m sitting down eating with my family?”
The officer hurriedly walks away, ditching the gloves as the man continues to question the cir stances he was luckily able to catch on video. Undeterred by the officer’s stonewalling, the man asserts his rights, demanding the officer’s name and badge number.
The Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office is currently investigating while the Paterson Police Department has sought to make it clear that the officer does not work for them.
