Police Abuse

[phill4paul]

Update: post #371

A Dallas County grand jury has indicted a former police officer who shot a mentally ill disabled man who was standing still with a knife in his hand last October, according to several sources with knowledge of the situation.

Cardan Spencer was indicted in the shooting of Bobby Bennett, who survived, and will likely face an aggravated assault charge. News 8 first broke the story last October after a neighbor’s surveillance video showed the original police account was inaccurate.

Family seeks help with schizophrenic family member, police arrive and tase, shoot him

http://www.policestateusa.com/2014/michael-blair/

HOUSTON, TX –A family received more than they bargained for when they requested the help of local police in dealing with a mentally ill family member. To “defuse” a situation involving a delusional man who had locked himself in a bathroom with a knife, police kicked in the door, screamed obscenities, tased him several times, and finally shot him to death. The horrifying scene was captured through a hidden camera set up by family members who were distrustful of police.

The incident involving the death of Michael Blair took place on November 4th, 2013. The video was only recently released.

It began as Blair, a 26-year-old paranoid schizophrenic, had an emotional episode in which he picked up a knife and claimed he wanted to hurt himself. Blair took the knife and locked himself in a bathroom. Not knowing what else to do, the Blair family called 9-1-1 for assistance.

While police were en route, a family relative placed a cell phone in the hallway pointing toward the bathroom. The relative was concerned about what might happen when all of the family members were removed from view. The camera obtained a perfect angle from across the hallway, toward the doorway of the bathroom.
“You want to do this the easy way. Don’t make us do it the hard way.”

Two Fort Bend County Sheriff’s deputies soon arrived. They initiated contact in the most cordial way they knew how.

“Hey man, we will kick in the door, and I don’t wanna do it,” one officer barked. “You want to do this the easy way. Don’t make us do it the hard way.”

Police confirmed that Mr. Blair had a knife to his neck, which caused them to kick the door in immediately and scream as loudly as their lungs would allow.

The officers continued screaming at the top of their lungs at the ill man. “Drop the knife! Drop the knife! You will drop that knife! You hear me?!”

The excited man was in no condition to follow commands. The deputies began employing their tasers as a bargaining tool. Mr. Blair could be heard yelping in pain from the electric shocks.

At one point the primary negotiator lowered his voice a few decibels and for the first time tried to talk to Mr. Blair without screaming. “Let it go. I don’t want to shock you again.” Blair could be heard babbling incoherently as he lay in a bathtub, frightened from the taser.

The final negotiation was immediately followed by the sound of more shocks being administered. “I need another taser!” the deputy called to his partner, evidently signaling that he had drained his batteries.

As the shocks finally ceased, Mr. Blair stood up and shook off the probes that had pierced his body. As he walked for the door, the lead deputy opened fire. Eleven shots rang out.

Watch the hidden camera video of the incident below. [ WARNING: Graphic Content]



The shot continued in rapid succession even after Blair had dropped to the floor. Among his fatal wounds, Blair was shot in the head.

The family could be heard shrieking with terror. “Oh Jesus! You killed him!” a woman sobbed from off-camera.

* * * * *

“We want him to live a long life, so he will always remember my son and how he murdered him in that bathroom that day. My son did not deserve 11 shots to his head, and we have to find out from the media how many times he was shot in that bathroom. Even though we heard the shots ring out, we didn’t know. All that we’re asking is that someone recognizes what we recognize. That was brutality at its finest in that bathroom that day,” said Michael’s mother, Kimberly Blair-Olaniyi.

As we have repeatedly seen, sending government force to ‘deal with’ a person suffering from mental instability is often a recipe for disaster. Cops know brute force, not finesse. The panicked, mentally ill man was only pushed over the edge by the violence that came crashing through his door. The screams and electric shocks were the last thing the situation needed.

Requesting the forceful presence of government agents should only be sought with extreme caution. The pervasive enforcer mentality has proved to many people that the response that they may receive could turn out to be dramatically less than helpful.

The situation is under further investigation, and the family intends to file a lawsuit.

Sherwood cop Adam Keesee intimidated wife's accuser, encouraged her abuse of students, lawsuit claims

http://www.oregonlive.com/sherwood/index.ssf/2014/05/sherwood_cop_adam_keesee_intim.html

After Sherwood Police Officer Adam Keesee discovered that his wife had molested one of her students, he reported it to his coworkers, court records say.

But instead of investigating Denise Keesee, then a Sherwood High School teacher, her husband and five other officers set out to intimidate, harass and coerce the boy into not taking any action against her, records say.

That’s the crux of a $1.5 million lawsuit against Adam Keesee, five unnamed Sherwood officers and the City of Sherwood. The former student’s complaint was filed last week in Washington County Circuit Court.

Sheriff’s deputies arrested Denise Keesee last year on charges of sexually abusing the plaintiff and another student.

Florida man and his dog shot by SWAT team during pre-dawn no-knock raid

http://www.policestateusa.com/2014/howard-bowe/

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL — A man is “fighting for his life” after being shot during a pre-dawn SWAT raid on his home because of suspected drug possession. His son was beaten and his dog was shot to death.

At approximately 6:00 a.m., the Hallandale Police Department’s SWAT team broke through the back door of a local residence because they suspected that the owner possessed prohibited substances.

Precisely what took place inside is not fully known, but the May 8th raid resulted in the homeowner being shot, his son being beaten, and his 13-year-old dog being killed.

The man who was shot was local businessman Howard Bowe. His sister, who lives in the other half of the duplex, said he was unarmed.

“They came in the back door,” said Corneesa Bowe, according to the Sun Sentinel. “Why shoot an unarmed person? Now he’s fighting for his life.”

Mr. Bowe owns Power Auto in Davie, Florida. His family says there is no way the police targeted the right person.

“My concern is really for my brother,” said Corneesa to Local-10. “I mean there’s no reason why they should have shot him. He has a business, an established business. He’s not this big drug dealer like they’re assuming.”

Howard’s 16-year-old son was taken into custody and beaten in the process. He was questioned without a parent or a lawyer.

Neighbor Fred Webb told the Sentinel that Bowe “is an honest man who worked every day” at his business. “I can’t understand it. I hope he’s all right.”

SWAT Officer Michael McKenzie, a 14-year veteran of the department, was the one who pulled the trigger. He is on administrative leave.

It is no surprise that another no-knock raid resulted in violence, given the aggressive nature of these surprise home invasions. Police State USA will monitor this case as more details are revealed.

Cops are scrambling to cover up.

The fact that they did not come right out and say "he had a weapon" and "we feared for our safety" indicates to me that Theye just flat out murdered this kid.

California teen shot to death on side of highway during traffic stop

http://www.policestateusa.com/2014/adrian-parra/

SALTON CITY, CA — A teen on his way to go on a date was shot to death on the side of the highway during a traffic stop. Police have been vague with details and his family is demanding answers.

The incident occurred along Highway 86 on April 18th, just before 6:00 p.m. Imperial County Sheriff’s deputies pulled over 19-year-old Adrian Parra while he was on his way to take a girl out to enjoy dinner and a movie.

For reasons unclear, the traffic stop reached a point where deputies opened fire on Parra, and he was fatally wounded. Even weeks later, his family says that the department is being elusive with details. They would only say that the stop was for “vehicle code violations.” Parra was shot 3-4 times, his mother revealed.

“What happened, what went where they shot him so many times… why can’t they answer the question if there was a camera,” asked Maria Duenas, Parra’s mother to KMIR. But police have refused to speak about the incident because of an ongoing investigation.

Parra, of Mecca, California, was an honor roll student who graduated from high school last year, and was planning on attending college.

The 2 officers involved went on temporary paid leave, but have since returned to work, KMIR reported.

His mother, Maria Duenas, is requesting that any witnesses to the incident call her with information at 760-396-2114.

Not sure if this one has its own thread. I'll just put it here, but if someone wants to start a thread for it, please do:

Cops Beat Veteran to Death after Traffic Stop for No Front License Plate
http://www.thedailysheeple.com/cops...raffic-stop-for-no-front-license-plate_052014

On Mother’s Day Tommy Yancy, father of two, was pulled over for not having a front license plate. What transpired beyond that point is not totally clear, but his injuries resulted in his death later that day. Yancy, 32, was a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan.

There has been almost zero information or media coverage of the incident. A local publication, Imperial Valley Press, offers only a sidenote about his family raising money for his memorial and this:

The 32-year-old Yancy died following an altercation with law enforcement during a traffic stop May 11 in Imperial. The circumstances around the death and the traffic stop are still under investigation by the California Highway Patrol.

A source that wants to remain anonymous has come forward with a video and “WeAreChange” posted it to YouTube on Sunday.

The quality of the video leaves a lot to be desired, but a lot of information is provided in the “About Section” of the video:
[...]

Yancy was stopped on his way to the store after a highway patrol officer spotted a missing front license plate on his vehicle. He was subsequently pulled from his car and attacked by a police K-9 unit, hit by a taser, and attacked by five officers until he succumbed to the beating and died. A witnessed, who filmed the incident, can be heard screaming on the recording: “How long before you guys call an ambulance? Call an ambulance!” According to the source of the video, who asked not to be named, his family has not been permitted to see his body, nor have they been given a cause of death.

A close friend of Yancy described him as “shy, and a comedian” and told me, he was an “excellent dad, who kept in contact with his army buddies every week.” He also enjoyed basketball and loved hip-hop music. His sister-in-law, Jaqueline Hernandez, described him to me as “a very loving guy, loved his kids to death… they were his everything. Very funny down to earth guy, and loved by all.”

Officers claim Yancy swung at an officer and attacked the K-9, however, near the end of the video, posted to YouTube on May 12, police are seen attempting to revive Yancy while a witness states, “All of this for one guy who wasn’t even resisting arrest,” the officer is said to have received no serious injuries.

A concussion made him do it.

http://www.realityzone.com/currentperiod.html

Seattle Washington: Police Officer Garth Haynes was filmed kicking the head of a handcuffed man on the ground. [Initially, Haynes was found guilty of using excessive force, but that finding was overturned by the Police Chief because Haynes said he was suffering from a concussion when he kicked the man and, therefore, was not in full control of his actions. Reminiscent of the "Twinkie" defense, we expect to see a lot of concussions in future cases of police brutality.] KOMO4 2014 Jun 4

http://www.infowars.com/seattle-pol...sion-made-officer-stomp-handcuffed-mans-head/

According to city spokeswoman Kimberly Mills, first responders never found evidence that Haynes had received a concussion to begin with.

“There was no diagnosis of a concussion when Officer Haynes was evaluated by medical personnel following the incident,” Mills said.

Despite Mill’s evidence, Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced during a Monday press conference that he would not challenge the city’s decision, but would work to fix police corruption issues.

“We have a complaint process, an appeals process, and a punishment process that is broken,” Murray said.

Tim Leary, a lawyer who previously represented the man who was stomped on, was seemingly shocked at the city’s decision.

“I think there are significant questions where an officer is claiming a concussion caused him to be confused and lack the ability to control his actions when he’s stomping on the head of a hand-cuffed suspect he’s upset with,” Leary said.

Chief Bailey’s decision comes only days after more than 125 Seattle officers filed a private lawsuit against city officials and the U.S. Justice Department for attempting to stop them from regularly using violence.

Coroner: Man who died in Sacramento police custody suffered 'excited delirium'
http://blogs.sacbee.com/crime/archi...e-custody-suffered-meth-induced-delirium.html

he man who died in Sacramento police custody in May following a violent struggle with officers died of methamphetamine-induced excited delirium, according to the county Coroner's Office.

John Nat Torretti Jr., 42, died May 24 shortly after being handcuffed by officers outside the Metro PCS store on the 8300 block of Folsom Boulevard. The arrest followed a brutal fight with officers, police said.

That week, coroner's officials released a statement that Torretti's autopsy revealed no obvious signs of trauma to the body - an effort to assuage concerns among some members of the public who questioned whether the man had died as the result of excessive force by officers.
[...]
Officers regained control of the situation after a bystander intervened and kicked the suspect. After officers handcuffed him, they noticed Torretti was unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

According to the Coroner's Office, his case of death later was determined to be "sudden death following violent struggle with law enforcement due to methamphetamine-induced excited delirium."

Mmm hm.

New Low. Cop Robs a Terminally Ill 3 Year old of her Make-A-Wish Foundation Money....




Officer Ronald Harris is a 12 year veteran of the Memphis police department. His record while ‘serving and protecting’ is less than stellar.

With a rap sheet over 100 pages long, it begs the question, how in the hell was this guy able to remain a cop for so long with so many violations?

All too often we see police officers, who have sworn to protect society from criminals, be the actual criminals.

Harris’ personnel file contained several violations including damage to a squad car, radio violations, sick leave policy abuse, sleeping on the job, failure to get approval for additional employment, and failure to appear in court. Most resulted in a written reprimand or a short suspension, but he was never fired.

Over the weekend, a family was travelling with their young daughter who is terminally ill. She was a participant in the Make-A-Wish foundation.




Officer Harris was off-duty, however being the stellar example of law enforcement that he is, he decided that he would ‘protect’ the family of this young girl from their bag filled with five t-shirts and a $1,500 pre-paid Visa check card from the Make-A-Wish foundation.

According to WFSB News, Harris reportedly tried to take the bag twice; both times the Make-A-Wish father stopped him. But it took airport and Memphis Police several tries to get Harris in custody after he kicked open a squad car door and ran.



According to an affidavit, police eventually had to use a pair of leg-cuffs to get Harris under arrest.

“People make poor choices, and we don’t know the decisions that lead this person to do what they did. We are just fortunate that we have the Memphis Police Department and the airport,” added Liz Nelson, Make-A-Wish President and CEO.

But he was the “Memphis Police Department”!

Harris is set to appear in court on June 16th.

“It is certainly disheartening and I am deeply saddened that an organization as wonderful as Make-A-Wish was victimized by someone sworn to protect, especially a member of the Memphis Police Department. Thankfully, no one sustained serious injuries. This officer is now facing serious charges for his criminal behavior. The Airport Police is to be commended for their quick response and professionalism, ” said Police Director Toney Armstrong.

Disheartening indeed.

New Low. Cop Robs a Terminally Ill 3 Year old of her Make-A-Wish Foundation Money....




Officer Ronald Harris is a 12 year veteran of the Memphis police department. His record while ‘serving and protecting’ is less than stellar.

With a rap sheet over 100 pages long, it begs the question, how in the hell was this guy able to remain a cop for so long with so many violations?

All too often we see police officers, who have sworn to protect society from criminals, be the actual criminals.

Harris’ personnel file contained several violations including damage to a squad car, radio violations, sick leave policy abuse, sleeping on the job, failure to get approval for additional employment, and failure to appear in court. Most resulted in a written reprimand or a short suspension, but he was never fired.

Over the weekend, a family was travelling with their young daughter who is terminally ill. She was a participant in the Make-A-Wish foundation.




Officer Harris was off-duty, however being the stellar example of law enforcement that he is, he decided that he would ‘protect’ the family of this young girl from their bag filled with five t-shirts and a $1,500 pre-paid Visa check card from the Make-A-Wish foundation.

According to WFSB News, Harris reportedly tried to take the bag twice; both times the Make-A-Wish father stopped him. But it took airport and Memphis Police several tries to get Harris in custody after he kicked open a squad car door and ran.



According to an affidavit, police eventually had to use a pair of leg-cuffs to get Harris under arrest.

“People make poor choices, and we don’t know the decisions that lead this person to do what they did. We are just fortunate that we have the Memphis Police Department and the airport,” added Liz Nelson, Make-A-Wish President and CEO.

But he was the “Memphis Police Department”!

Harris is set to appear in court on June 16th.

“It is certainly disheartening and I am deeply saddened that an organization as wonderful as Make-A-Wish was victimized by someone sworn to protect, especially a member of the Memphis Police Department. Thankfully, no one sustained serious injuries. This officer is now facing serious charges for his criminal behavior. The Airport Police is to be commended for their quick response and professionalism, ” said Police Director Toney Armstrong.

Disheartening indeed.

This is the family of one of the liberty activists in NC that was the victim of the attempted robbery. The father needed stitches but refused medical treatment so he could fly out with his daughter.

Dead Men Don’t Start Revolutions

by Christopher Cantwell • June 8, 2014 • 0 Comments

The good news is, two cops are dead. The bad news is, the two shooters, and what appears to be an innocent bystander are dead too.

http://www.christophercantwell.com/2014/06/08/dead-men-dont-start-revolutions/

How about the distinct possibility of some copycat cop haters picking up where

Dorner

left off, with a printout of his manifesto in hand,

[]

One thing for certain, the audio sure supports Dorner's claim of criminal behavior in the world of Law Enforcement.

Iraqi soldiers, police drop weapons, flee posts in portions of Mosul

Even the most crudely armed insurrectionists are capable of overthrowing their governments,
if they are determined and numerous enough.
Having a lightly armed population from the outset, like the US population,
only makes it more likely that such a war against tyranny would be ubiquitous
and likely to succeed swiftly from the outset.

"It ruined my life," Kaahu said.

"These guys have so much power,

they can go around and do whatever they like and it's nothing to them that they can ruin people's lives."

The judge found that police withheld more than 500 pages of documents, including witness testimony and cell phone videos of the beating...

"One of the officers placed his handcuffs in his hands







and beat him at the back of his head like brass knuckles,"

All five officers who took part in the arrest remain on the job.

16 Year Old Gymnast Shot Dead by Police For Holding a Stick, Cops Seize Video Footage
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/16-year-gymnast-shot-dead-police-holding-stick/#j7m2mYvrOS43RwA0.99

In the past year. police in New Mexico have become notorious for killing innocent people. The most recent wrongful death took place in Espanola, when a police officer shot an unarmed 16 year old Gymnast for no reason.

16 year old Victor Vialpando was a gymnast, dancer and a teacher at Moving Arts Espanola. According to his family he has no criminal record.

The police claim that he pointed a weapon at them, but the boy was unarmed and the police are refusing to release security camera footage that would corroborate their story.

Close friends of Victor believe that he may have had a stick that he was using to practice a dance routine, which he often does.

“I can’t fathom him even having a gun on his body, much less holding it and pointing it at somebody,” a friend said.

The case is being investigated by the same police department that the murdering police officers belong to.

“What happened, what went where they shot him so many times… why can’t they answer the question if there was a camera,” asked Maria Duenas, Parra’s mother to KMIR. But police have refused to speak about the incident because of an ongoing investigation.

Officials in Campbell, Wisconsin, have placed police chief Tim Kelemen on leave after he admitted using a Tea Party activist's name and email address to create accounts on pornographic, dating and insurance websites from both his home and work computers. Kelemen was apparently upset that Tea Party activists have protested and filed a federal lawsuit over the city's decision to bar political protests on a pedestrian walkway on Interstate 90.
