'So many lies told':

Judicial inquiry begins seven years after Eric Garner killed selling cigarettes

Some seven years after Eric Garner was killed after being targeted by police and put in a chokehold, a judicial inquiry into his death started on Monday.

It is the very least officials can do after blocking several measures to hold the officers who targeted Garner accountable.

Edwards is also looking to focus on allegations Garner did not receive adequate medical care and how Garner’s arrest history and medical past were allegedly leaked from his autopsy report.

"Nobody will be charged or found liable. It's about transparency. It's about creating a record. It's about letting the public better understand what happened and what did not happen seven years ago."

Trooper Charged With Murder in Death of Girl, 11, in a High-Speed Chase

Not long before midnight on Dec. 22, a New York state trooper stopped a car for speeding near Kingston, about an hour and a half north of Manhattan. Inside were Tristin Goods, his wife, April, and his daughters, Monica, 11, and Tristina, 12.

In the exchange that followed, Mr. Goods and the trooper, Christopher Baldner, began to argue, and

Mr. Goods, his lawyer said, asked to speak to a supervisor.

Trooper Baldner responded by shooting pepper spray into the car, officials said.

Fearing for his safety, his lawyer said, Mr. Goods drove off.

Trooper Baldner chased him at a high speed.


When he caught up to Mr. Goods, he rammed his car once and then, seconds later, rammed it again.

The impact knocked Mr. Goods’s car over a guardrail into the highway’s southbound lanes, his lawyer said.

The vehicle flipped over several times before landing on its roof.

Tossed from the car as it tumbled, Monica Goods died.


On Wednesday, Trooper Balder, 43, was charged with murder, manslaughter and reckless endangerment

Updated 'Trump Train' 911 transcripts reveal Texas cops refused to send escort to Biden bus

San Marcos police officials and 911 dispatchers fielded multiple requests for assistance from Democratic campaigners and bus passengers

who said they feared for their safety from a pack of motorists, known as a "Trump Train," allegedly driving in dangerously aggressive ways.

"San Marcos refused to help," an amended federal lawsuit over the 2020 freeway skirmish claims.

Transcribed 911 audio recordings and do ents that reveal behind-the-scenes communications among law enforcement and dispatchers were included in the amended lawsuit

San Marcos law enforcement leaders chose not to provide the bus with a police escort multiple times, even though police departments in other nearby cities did.

Matthew Daenzer, a San Marcos police corporal on duty the day of the incident, refused to provide an escort when recommended by another jurisdiction.

"No, we're not going to do it,"

law enforcement officers "privately laughed" and "joked about the victims and their distress."

Busted taillights, missing plates, tinted windows: Across the U.S., ticket revenue funds towns — and the police responsible for finding violations.

ordered him out of the car and threw him to the pavement.

they brought it on themselves. They don't pull these cars over for those reasons. They use those reasons to pull those cars over so they can initiate a search. You should not be stopped by a cop in the middle of the night because your tailight lens is broken. They can get your license plate number and mail you a notice. These invasive procedures have been a mainstay for police departments for a long time. They will use anything to get a look at you and your vehicle. If you aren't otherwise breaking the law, let it go.

We both know these people won't respond to the mail notice, just stockpile fines and accuse the authorities of targeting them. Driving around with broken tail & headlights will increase the amount of accidents they are involved in. There is no running away from responsibility.

Raleigh police detective accused of using fake heroin in drug cases fired

By Joel Brown
Monday, November 1, 2021 10:20P

The Raleigh Police Department said on Monday that Omar Abdullah was terminated on Oct. 28.


RALEIGH (WTVD) -- A Raleigh police detective who attorneys say planted fake heroin on Black men, resulting in their arrests, is out of a job.

The Raleigh Police Department said on Monday that Omar Abdullah was terminated on Oct. 28.

Back in September, attorneys for a group of men who said they were wrongfully arrested for heroin trafficking announced a $2 million settlement with the City of Raleigh as part of a federal civil rights lawsuit associated with Abdullah.

"I think for advocates, we've always wanted this," police reform advocate Kimberly Muktarian told ABC11 on Monday. "This is something we dreamt of. So for them, I still believe that -- this is not a reality that they commonly see."

Abdullah was paying a confidential informant who promised to tip-off officers to Raleigh heroin dealers. Instead, the district attorney said the informant returned with videos and audio recordings of drug buys with critical clips missing and a substance that lab tests revealed months later wasn't drugs at all.

The civil rights lawsuit said fake heroin was also planted by detective Abdullah with the knowledge of other officers.

The attorneys said wrongful prosecutions caused those who were arrested to spend roughly a combined 2.5 years in jail before the charges were dismissed.

Robin Mills' son, Marcus Van Irvin, was arrested by Abdullah for bogus heroin and initially put in jail on a $450,000 bond.

Mills is frustrated with the lack of transparent answers about how this happened and wants to know why more officers haven't been held accountable.

She said Abdullah's firing and the civil settlement aren't enough.

"They did what they needed to do from a civil perspective. But now we're talking about criminal," she said. "And there's no way the kidnapping of over a dozen black men is not criminal."

Abdullah was placed on leave from Raleigh Police Department last year but Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman has declined to prosecute him.

As for where the case currently stands, in a statement to ABC11 on Monday she said, "The matter remains open with our office."

Texas police search thousands of drivers and find nothing.

Here's where that happens the most.

It’s an unusually common occurrence in the community southeast of Dallas.

Deputies conducted roadside searches on nearly 4 of every 10 motorists they pulled over last year, records show - one of the highest rates in Texas.

the Texas law enforcement agencies most likely to detain and search drivers based mainly on an officer’s hunch.

During traffic stops — the most common interaction between civilians and police — these departments performed discretionary searches at the highest rates,

In Texline, a small Panhandle community, city marshals searched about one in every three vehicles stopped.

In Cleveland, a small city north of Houston, police last year searched nearly every driver they pulled over,

show officers in Texas’s high-search jurisdictions often found nothing, or such inconsequential amounts of contraband that the driver was not arrested.

That mirrors national research showing that most discretionary traffic stop searches bear little fruit.

“Police say, ‘Look at all the heroin we found!’”

“They don’t mention the other side of the equation, which is they had to stop 1,000 people to find that.”

each stop is also a demeaning and humiliating experience,”

Treating mostly innocent motorists with su ion can “erode trust in the police among populations most subjected to them,”

searches to be racially biased.

“police require less su ion to search black and Hispanic drivers than white drivers.

This double standard is evidence of discrimination.”

‘If it’s ineffective, why do it?’

the nation’s top court also has concluded that as long as a motorist violated a traffic rule,

no matter how minor, police can stop the vehicle and initiate an investigation.

millions of traffic stops have shown so-called consent searches to be inefficient.

Only about a quarter turn up contraband, said Baumgartner; fewer than 15 percent are serious enough for officers to make an arrest.

they are a tremendous waste of time,”

they are a tremendous waste of time,” cops are bored less. pass the time with gratuitous power plays

Even ask why a copy talking to decrepit, unarmed homeless lady calls for backup and 10 cars arrive? they're ing bored!

“If the ‘probable’ in ‘probable cause’ turns out to only be a half of a half,” he said. “It makes the phrase meaningless.”

searching about 5 percent of stopped vehicles is a common figure for traffic enforcement.

The Chronicle identified nearly 30 Texas police agencies whose search rate was at least 3 times that.

Officers in 16 departments performed discretionary searches at a rate more than 4 times the benchmark

Border Patrol 'shadow police unit' has helped cover up abuses for years



“the largest and longest-standing shadow police unit that is operating today in the federal government.”

They say in a statement that

Border Patrol’s Critical Incident Teams (BPCITs)

have for years acted to cover up abuses at the hands of agents, with a “stated purpose is to mitigate civil liability for agents. There is no known equivalent in any other law enforcement agency.”

“The actions of these Border Patrol units to withhold, destroy, and corrupt evidence and to tamper with witnesses have gone unchecked for decades,”

“Known by many names, BPCITs have existed since at least 1987, and appear to be operating in many, if not all, Border Patrol sectors in the country,”

Their existence poses

a threat to public safety by concealing agent misconduct, enabling abuse, and exacerbating impunity within the nation’s largest law enforcement agency,

U.S. Customs and Border Protection(CBP). Immediate investigations into BPCITs are imperative.”

"An analysis of more than 44,000 bike stops logged by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department since 2017 found that

7 of every 10 stops involved Latino cyclists.

Additionally, bikers in poorer communities with large nonwhite populations are stopped and searched far more often than those in more affluent, whiter parts of the county.

What did those stops yield?

Old man set up by a karen and beat up for walking while black, sad story.

A South Carolina city is paying $650,000 to a Black man who was stomped in the head by a white police officer upset that the man could not quickly lie flat on his stomach because of rods and pins in his leg.

Gailyard was walking with a stick wrapped in shiny tape on July 26 when someone mistook the reflective object for a gun and called 911, investigators said.

Orangeburg Public Safety Officer David Lance Dukes ordered Gailyard to the ground and when the 58-year-old didn't immediately drop, the officer stomped on his head and neck, causing his forehead to hit the concrete of the parking lot, according to police body camera video.

Gailyard said he moved slowly and often walks with a cane because of pins and rods in his leg from being hit by a vehicle while riding a bicycle. He also said he was carrying the stick to protect himself from potential dog attacks.
