Ex-Georgia deputies acquitted of involuntary manslaughter in death of Mathew Ajibade

Two former sheriff’s deputies in Chatham County, Georgia were acquitted on Friday of involuntary manslaughter charges in connection with the death of 22-year-old Mathew Ajibade in custody this past January, WSAV-TV reported.

Both Jason Kenny and Maxine Evans were found guilty on separate charges. Kenny, who was seen Tasering Ajibade in footage from the encounter, faces one-to-three years in prison after being convicted of cruelty to a prisoner. Evans, who was convicted of falsifying public records, could spend between two and 10 years in prison.

“I knew that that same system that failed Mathew would not be the system that got him justice,” said Ajibade’s cousin, Chris Oladapo. “I had already warned my family not to expect anything. We expected nothing, and we got nothing.”
 
Homan Square revealed: How Chicago police ‘disappeared’ 7,000 people

Obama's hometown is corrupt, but you knew that!

Police “disappeared” more than 7,000 people at an off-the-books interrogation warehouse in Chicago, nearly twice as many detentions as previously disclosed , the Guardian can now reveal.

From August 2004 to June 2015, nearly 6,000 of those held at the facility were black, which represents more than twice the proportion of the city’s population. But only 68 of those held were allowed access to attorneys or a public notice of their whereabouts, internal police records show.

There is legal, illegal and then there is Chicago. Where the constitution is flexible, I guess.
 
Maryland cops arrest man and threaten his girlfriend over non-existent ‘breast feeding violation’

Charles County, MD — An infuriating video posted to Facebook this week shows the grim and infuriating reality of incompetent and power tripping cops in police state USA.

Local artist, DC Prophitt was doing absolutely nothing wrong when he was approached by multiple Charles County Sheriff’s deputies. The deputies mistakenly thought that Prophitt’s girlfriend was breastfeeding their baby in the vehicle, so he decided to ruin their year.

The family was getting gas when their world was quickly turned upside down by badged agitators.

When the video begins, Prophitt is understandably aggravated by the stop and he was unafraid of voicing this emotion. As a deputy attempts to cite the couple for the non-existent “breast feeding violation,” Prophitt becomes even more upset.

“You say one more curse word, you’re going to jail,” said the deputy.

“Can we just get the ticket and go?” asks Prophitt’s girlfriend. “My daughters are in there.”

At this point, the deputy then grabs the woman and forces her to the other side of the vehicle. He then begins to threaten her with arrest too.
 
Watch: Illegally parked cop gets a taste of police extortion

Charleston, SC — The owner of a Charleston small business decided he was going to show that cops are not above the law.

In this video, Chad Walton of CWR Racing hooks his winch to a police cruiser that was parked illegally behind his business, with every intention of towing it to his facility. According to the posted sign, once an illegally parked vehicle is hooked for towing, it costs $250 to unhook. There is also a charge of $30 for every day the vehicle sits in the facility.

Lucky that he was white.:D

Missouri Cop Who Lured 60 Straight Men to His Home for Fellatio-Through-a-Door Pleads Guilty

A Missouri cop with an oral fixation for penis was able to convince 60 straight men to come to his home for fellatio after placing an ad on Craig’s List.

Chesterfield police officer David Cerna would pose as a woman online, sending men a photo of a woman, telling them that she wanted to perform oral sex on them.

The men would get aroused and make arrangements to meet the woman at her home, only to show up and learn that the woman was shy and did not want to show her face.

So the men would stick their penis through a hole in a door as Cerna kneeled on the other side, performing oral sex on them. Sixty men in 18 months fell for this ruse.

The Missouri cop would video record the sex acts and post them online on a gay porn site he ran.
 
Survivor testimony mysteriously stolen during office break-in after human rights group sues the CIA

Confidential files containing evidence of violations committed during El Salvador ’s civil war have been stolen from a Washington-based human rights group just days after it launched legal proceedings against the CIA over classified files on a former US-backed military commander implicated in massacres, deaths squads and forced disappearances.

A computer and hard drive containing testimonies from survivors were stolen from the office of the director of the University of Washington Center for Human Rights (UWCHR) last week.

The director’s office was the only one raided, there were no signs of forced entry, and items of monetary value were left behind, raising concerns that it could have been a targeted attack linked to the group’s sensitive work, said UWCHR .

The stolen files contained details of investigations related to the 1980-1992 civil war which left at least 75,000 people dead, 8,000 missing and a million displaced. The vast majority of crimes were committed by US-backed military dictatorships against civilians in rural communities suspected of supporting the leftist guerrillas, according to the UN-sponsored truth commission.

A spokesman for the CIA said: “The suggestion that CIA had anything to do with this incident is offensive, insulting, and patently false.“

If you can't trust the CIA, who can you trust?
 
Unarmed marijuana dealer shot in face and killed by cop who won’t face charges

Derek Cruice was a kind and loving young man who was murdered in cold blood by state agents because he allegedly sold a plant that is legal in five states.

In March, a heavily militarized police SWAT team, knowing that Cruice had never been convicted of a crime, descended on his home on Maybrook Drive in Deltona.

Police did not knock. Instead, they used a battering ram to bust down the door, sending multiple heavily armed storm troopers into the house.

Friends who were inside the home explained that police fired their weapons without hesitation. They described how it was blatantly obvious that Cruice was unarmed, as he was wearing basketball shorts and no shirt.

Cruice was shot in his face and died on scene.

Bud dealers beware!:eek:
 
Maryland Cop Loses Job, Self-Respect After Biting Dude’s Balls In Fight


An officer with the Anne Arundel County Police Department in Maryland is no longer on the force after agreeing to a plea deal following a drunken brawl outside a bar in May. We swear we are not making up a word of this description of the altercation from the Baltimore Sun:

Michael Flaig, a Northern District officer and 10-year veteran of the department, became involved in an argument with a man outside Looney’s Pub in Canton after the man told Flaig to stop groping the man’s female roommate, police wrote in charging documents. The interaction escalated to a physical confrontation, with the man straddling Flaig’s upper body, when Flaig bit the man “in the testicle area,” according to police.

Yr Wonkette wishes to emphasize that one should be especially careful to never drunkenly exclaim “Bite me, pal” in the middle of a bar fight.
 
“Fox & Friends” guest: There hasn’t been any police brutality in America since the 1960s.

On “Fox & Friends” Monday morning, co-host Brian Kilmeade welcomed in Fox News’ unofficial police brutality correspondent, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, to discuss the anti-police brutality protests held in New York City over the weekend and Clarke didn’t disappoint, claiming “there is no police brutality in America — we ended that in the ’60s.”

Clarke was responding to Kilmeade’s suggestion that liberal politicians — including President Barack Obama — are priming these protesters with false narratives. Despite the fact that he was sharing the screen with former NYPD detective Rod Wheeler — who minutes earlier played footage he’d taken at the anti-police brutality march in which protesters were blaming the president — Kilmeade and Clarke were adamant about who is empowering what Clarke referred to as “sub-human creeps.”

“The president of the United States knows better, he’s playing the race game, he’s playing race politics,” Clarke said. “Shame on him, he’s been very divisive for this country.”

Earlier in the interview, Clarke even advocated that police shouldn’t protect the protesters, and allow them to “clash’ with local businesses and members of the community.

“Then,” Clarke added, “the police can show up and arrest these sub-human creeps for creating a disturbance.”

Former Det. Wheeler seemed unimpressed with this line of thought, and took pains to note the professionalism of the NYPD in policing a protest in which they were themselves the target. He also noted that he believes the #BlackLivesMatter movement “actually matters, what they’re protesting is valid — it’s just the way that they’re going about doing it is completely wrong.”

“It’s not valid,” Clarke replied. “You’re contributing to the problem. Show me the research that demonstrates that lie that law enforcement officers use an inordinate amount of force against black people. Black people use an inordinate amount of force against themselves.”
 

Najee Rivera admits he panicked on the night two white Philadelphia cops pulled over his motor scooter in El Centro de Oro, a Latino ghetto in the city’s Fairhill section.

“To be honest, I was afraid,” Rivera said. “I saw them get out of their car with nightsticks. I heard one of them call me a spic. I hadn’t done anything wrong, so I took off. I shouldn’t have, but I was scared of them.”

With good reason. A private security camera captured what happened next.

As Rivera puttered along at perhaps 25mph, the police car raced up alongside him. The cop on the passenger side leaned out the window and clocked Rivera on the back on the head with his truncheon, knocking him off his scooter to the pavement. Officers Kevin Robinson and Sean McKnight bounded from the car and began clubbing Rivera as he lay wailing. They hauled him to his feet, slammed him against a building and then drove him back into the sidewalk.

When the beating was over that night, May 29, 2013, Rivera’s wounds required 38 surgical staples to his head and 18 stitches to his face. His nose was broken, an ear was gashed and the orbital socket of his right eye, swollen and plum-colored, was fractured.

The felonious assault on Rivera, then 21, was covered up by Robinson and McKnight with the familiar police-report narrative: The perp was resisting and the cops felt endangered, so they used “necessary force.” The truth came to light in February, when Rivera’s girlfriend, a South Philly nurse named Dina Scannapieco, revealed the smoking-gun security video. The cops were suspended and charged with aggravated assault.
 
Video shows cop executing man as he’s lying face down and complying

Is this the "Rule of Law"?

Another cop has been cleared of charges for cold-blooded murder.

Officer Lisa Mearkle of the Hummelstown Borough Police Department was found not guilty of criminal homicide for the shooting death of 59-year-old David Kassick on February 2. Video has just been released from the Taser camera which was deployed before she fired two bullets into the man’s back, as he lay face down on the ground in full compliance with her orders.

The video of this cold-blooded killing by a maniacal cop, shown in full detail, somehow did not convince a jury that it was homicide. He had been chased down, shocked repeatedly with a Taser, fallen down face first in the snow, displayed his hands clearly at the officer’s orders, and then shot in the back twice.

Officer Mearkle had attempted to pull Kassick over for an expired inspection sticker, but Kassick fled to his family home, where he tried to run into the backyard. That’s where Mearkle ended his life.

District Attorney Ed Marsico, in bringing the criminal charges against Mearkle, said that it appeared from the recording that Kassick was simply trying to remove the stun gun probes from his back before his life was taken.

This is one of the most egregious displays of Blue Privilege we have witnessed, made all the more depressing because a “jury of peers” gave the verdict of not guilty.

D.A. Ed Marsico should be applauded for attempting to bring a murderer in uniform to justice.

Let that be a lesson, never run from a homicidal cop!
 
You Will Fall Madly In Love With This Half-Nutso Louisiana Cop


Yr Wonkette has a new boyfriend in law enforcement, and he is Captain Clay Higgins of the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office in Opelousas, Louisiana.

You see, he makes these bizarrely earnest Crimestoppers videos that are half sermon, half “Scared Straight” lecture, and half performance art. He is strangely mesmerizing as he looks into the camera and tells malefactors they’d best turn themselves in, because it’s the right thing to do and crime does not pay. He’s like a Southern-fried version of Dragnet’s Joe Friday, with a touch of tough-love compassion: He knows you done wrong, but more to the point, he knows YOU know you done wrong, and you need to get right with The Law before your life of crime leads you past the point of redemption. Maybe it’s our Catholic upbringing bobbing to the surface, but Yr Doktor Zoom feels strangely compelled to go and turn himself in to Captain Higgins for something.

Since he started doing the Crimestoppers segments for Lafayette station KATC in early 2015, Clay Higgins has become a minor internet celebrity: He has his own fan page on the Facebooks, was the subject of a glowing profile in the Washington Post, and received a mention on the Tonight Show. He is unpretentious and sincere, maybe even a little cornball, but completely winning.

Wow are Up-thumb from Wonkette, how cool is that for a Louisiana Copper!
 
WATCH: Arizona cops assault unarmed man for pulling out his phone during profiling stop

Incompetent police officers mistook an innocent man for a suspect last week, which left that man in the hospital.

As Arthur Velazquez was riding his bike down the street, police claimed that he ‘fit the description’ because he was wearing a hoodie and on a bike, so they stopped him.

While he was detained, he simply pulled out his phone and called his sister out of concern that something bad was about to happen.

“I’m thinking about my own safety,” Velazquez said. “I had a feeling that with these two officers something bad was going to happen; that’s why I called my sister.”

Unfortunately, his feeling of something bad happening came true when officers attacked him for making this call.

Police claim that they feared for their lives when Velazquez told them that he was calling his sister, so they had no other choice but the escalate the situation to violence and beat an innocent man.

“You have additional people coming to the scene, and you are in fear,” Detective Steve Berry, with the Mesa Police Department said in regards to this innocent man using the phone. “Who might be armed, and showing up to assist.”

Since these officers ‘feared’ a phone call, they proceeded to assault Velazquez. The incident was captured on the officer’s body cam.

Fucking paranoid cops!
 
Revealed: Virginia cops Tased handcuffed man 20 times in 30 minutes before he died

Police in South Boston, Virginia broke their own rules and Tased a man multiple times, then reneged on a planned trip to the hospital, before he died in their custody, MSNBC reported.

Newly-released footage shows three officers using the devices against 46-year-old Linwood Lambert while he was handcuffed both in front of a local hospital and in a patrol car. The Tasers were used 20 times over the course of a 30-minute period.

However, the department’s rules state that Taser use “is no longer justified once the subject has been restrained,” as Linwood was during the May 4, 2013 encounter.

The footage also reveals that the officers broke the department’s rules regarding providing medical assistance to suspects after the use of a Taser. The regulations state that officers should take suspects to the emergency room at the Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital before taking them to jail.

Three cops, one handcuffed "Perp", 20 Tazer shocks!
 
Texas cops respond to suicide attempt, shoot Hispanic man — and then find out he’s a deputy

Perhaps his life insurance will pay off now?

The mother of a Texas deputy said this week that Laredo police officers did not have a good reason to shoot and kill her son after they showed up at his apartment to respond to an attempted suicide.

The Laredo Morning Times reported on Monday that two female officers responded to a suicide attempt at around 11 a.m.

The department said that the officers opened fire after “repeated commands to the individual who was armed with a handgun.”

The man was identified as 25-year-old Cesar Cuellar, a Webb County sheriff’s deputy.

Cuellar’s mother later told KGNS that officers overreacted.

“Don’t shoot, don’t shoot, don’t shoot, please, please, please. It’s my son,” the mother recalled telling the officers, according to a translation provided by the station. “Both of them were pointing at him. My son was like this with the gun pointed down, not saying a word. He was surprised, he was frozen. He didn’t say a word. They had scared him.”

“They shot him, they shot him once and then it took a while and after another boom again. It wasn’t continuous but my son never lifted his gun. Never,” she insisted. “They shot him without having to, not one reason.”
 
Las Vegas cop profiles black couple with baby as robbers — then assaults them

An innocent couple was picking up their daughter Wednesday night when the father was accused of “fitting the description,” and then he and his wife assaulted.

The subsequent video taken by the assaulted father highlights the problem of police escalation and incompetence.

As the video begins, the officer has his pistol drawn, which was the reason that compelled the man to begin filming. Since it was cold outside, the man filming had his other hand in his pocket, which is not a crime.

After politely explaining to the cop that they were merely picking up his daughter, the cop became even more enraged and ran up to the man, who, only seconds prior, was so scary the cop had to draw a gun on him.

“You have a gun in your hand,” says the man filming.

“Yeah, I know that, because you’re a possible robbery suspect,” replies the cop, ignorantly assuming that a couple and their baby would somehow be out robbing houses.

“Because I’m black?” asks the man.

“Yeah, okay,” replies the officer who is still holding his pistol. “Step over to my car please.”

“For what?” the man asks. “We are picking up my daughter.”

At this moment, the officer should have seen that there was indeed a child in the car and ended his incompetent detainment. However, he was not about to back down, so he rushed the man.

The man is then assaulted by the cop, who somehow keeps yelling “get your hands out of your pockets,” despite at least one hand holding the camera and the man informing him that he does not have his hands in his pockets.

Policing while stupid, evidently is not a crime.
 
Old School Beat-down of Car thief in 'Frisco

An investigation into the brutal beating of man in San Francisco’s Mission District has been launched by the Alameda County Sheriff after video showing the savage assault by police went public.

The video was released by the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office on Friday night, after being contacted by witnesses to the vicious attack.

Pulling no punches, Public Defender Jeff Adachi said the encounter was “reminiscent of Rodney King,” and excessive force was clearly used by the two deputies.
 
Justice Dept. asked to investigate after Minneapolis cops shoot unarmed black man

The mayor of Minneapolis has asked the Department of Justice to open a civil rights investigation into the police shooting of Jamar Clark, a young black man whose potentially fatal injuries have led to protests.

Mayor Betsy Hodges made the request following a day of demonstrations by activists who say that Clark, 24, was unarmed and in handcuffs when a police officer shot him in the head. Protesters made a series of demands including an independent federal inquiry.

“We need all the tools we have available,” Hodges said at a press conference on Monday evening. Stressing that she supported the decision and that it should not be seen as an admission of any wrongdoing, Minneapolis police chief Janeé Harteau said: “Everyone involved needs and deserves the truth and the facts.”

A DoJ spokesperson could not immediately confirm a Minnesota public radio report that the department had received the request and was reviewing it. Hodges said the letter was also sent to Andrew Luger, the US attorney for the district of Minnesota, and that Minnesota governor Mark Dayton agreed with her decision to make the request.

Harteau declined to release any additional information about Sunday’s shooting, citing an ongoing investigation of the incident by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA). “I have great confidence in the abilities and independence of the BCA,” Hodges said.
 
Calif. teen sues cop who threw her face-first to the ground hours after she graduated high school

18-year-old Gabbi Lemos was brutally assaulted by a police officer after celebrating her graduation from high school at her home. Hours after the party, Deputy Marcus Holton and six other officers with the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department arrived uninvited at the home and began aggressively interrogating people who were outside.

Before approaching the house, Holton noticed that Gabbi’s sister Karli was sitting in a parked vehicle outside with her boyfriend and he began to question them. At one point during the interrogation, Holton opened Karli’s door and attempted to physically rip her out of the vehicle. Gabbi witnessed what was occurring outside of her home and shouted at the officer to leave her sister alone, and demanded that a female officer be called to the scene.

“It was scary seeing all his anger toward her in that moment. That’s when I decided to say something,” Gabbi said.

According to a recent lawsuit filed by the Lemos family, Gabbi “complained to the deputy that he had no right to pull her sister out of the vehicle and he needed to ask her first.”

Holten then violently pushed Gabbi, and while backing away she yelled, “You can’t touch me! We have rights!”

“I told him what he was doing wasn’t OK, that he couldn’t touch us,” Gabbi later told reporters.

When asked by ABC News if she resisted, Gabbi said, “There was no way I could have. He was on top of me with my hands behind my back.”

The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department said that the officer’s body camera shows that he “behaved with restraint and professionalism during a highly volatile situation.”

However, that same body camera footage ended up proving that Gabbi was not resisting, nor did she attack Holten in any way, so the charges against her were quickly dropped.

The day after the Lemos family filed their lawsuit, the District Attorney responded by filing new charges against Gabbi Lemos, for “obstructing, restricting or delaying a police officer.”

The family’s lawyer, Izaak Schwaiger said that this is an obvious move to discredit Gabbi so she is unable to file her lawsuit against the department.
