Your Helpful Police II

Texas police shooting of Jordan Edwards shows again how black males are considered threats

The car drove away from the high school house party, down a street in a Dallas suburb, when the police officer raised his rifle and fired.

A bullet tore through the front passenger window, killing Jordan Edwards, an unarmed 15-year-old.

As the death reignited a national conversation about race and the police, it's also elevated what's viewed as a well-understood fact in many African American communities: When you're black — even if you're a child — you can be viewed as a threat to police.

"These are trained professionals, who are supposed to make rational decisions, but they're not," said Benjamin Crump, a civil rights attorney and former president of the National Bar Association, a network of black lawyers and judges. "And yet again our children — I repeat, children — are paying the ultimate price."

"More and more we have to prepare our children for what's ahead and how society will view them," said Crump, who helped represent Martin's family in legal proceedings.

Reggie Miller, chairman of the National Black Police Association, which seeks, among other things, to forge better relationships between police and minority communities, said diversity training could help.

"It's not a crime to be young and black," he said. "But some officers see a do-rag or dreads and feel threatened. More understanding is needed."

Cheryl Dorsey, a retired Los Angeles Police Department sergeant, said that more must be done by police to prevent such shootings.

"Do a lot of police feel that their lives are threatened? It's doubtful," Dorsey said. "I think it's what's put forward to justify shootings.

All I'm going to say is that the ghetto, in general, is something you cannot possibly understand unless you have experienced it. I don't know this particular story because it started off with "a cop in the suburbs shot a rifle and killled a black kid."

If (If and only if) you have never experienced the ghetto, you cannot possibly pass judgement. It's extremely scary. Now, as fearful as it is, people who live in those parts of the city can be the nicest people you'll ever meet. They'll bring you food, offer you the clothes off their back, and let you stay with them. But it's still fucking scary.

So, if you've had experience with it, fine. But if not, don't go shitting on the cops for being nervous. They are people, too, and they have to make split second decisions. If you think that a police officer making a mistake makes him racist or not fit for the job, you sign up for that shit and go police the hood. Let's see how well you handle it.

And this isn't just about black people. Dave Chappelle said it best, and I'm paraphrasing here, but "if you see a group of black people with two white guys in the group, those white guys are the most dangerous people in that group." That is so true.

Haha I remember my grandma had one of those old boxy Oldsmobiles which were easy to steal. Well, it got stolen and we drove all over looking for that damn thing. We found it and then called the cops. My dad brought his gun, but thankfully, he knew not to brandish a gun downtown... as far as the Oldsmobile, I never understood why people actually bought one of those cars. *shrugs*
 
‘Roadblocks end where the white people start’: Mississippi sheriff enforces segregation, lawsuit claims

A new lawsuit is alleging Mississippi sheriffs are responsible for ensuring the races and classes are segregated by using checkpoints.

A Think Progress report Monday said that Madison County is one of the most segregated places in the country and it’s allegedly kept that way by the sheriff, his deputies, and other county officials.

The class-action lawsuit claims the sheriff’s department “has implemented a coordinated top-down program of methodically targeting Black individuals for suspicionless searches and seizures.” Filed Monday by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the suit seeks an injunction for what they say is “thousands of victims” in the county.

Think Progress explained that the roadblocks that the deputies set up aren’t like a typical DUI stop. Instead, deputies out of uniform wait in unmarked vehicles and essentially ambush motorists. Such checkpoints only take place in areas of the county with a higher concentration of African-American residents. Those stopped are then forced to submit to allegedly unconstitutional and illegal searches and seizures while simply driving home.

The suit claims it’s similar to Arizona’s “show your papers” law, except there is no law that was ever passed in Mississippi that encouraged checkpoints to search cars in black areas of the state.

“Although only 38 percent of Madison County residents are Black, approximately 73% of arrests in Madison County between May and September of 2016 were of Black individuals,” the suit outlines.

“We already have very good data, and there’s more detail coming in discovery. We’re going to get the internal documents of the police department and the county. Sometimes in internal documents, people say things that get right to the heart of the thing,” attorney Jonathan Youngwood told Think Progress.

“We’re confident this is a county-wide problem. The data supports that. The stories support that,” he said.

West Virginia police officer sues after getting fired for not shooting suicidal man

Former Weirton, W.Va., police officer Stephen Mader is taking legal action after being dismissed for not shooting a suicidal man armed with a gun.

Last year, Mader was called to a home where a man — Ronald J. Williams — was threatening to kill himself. According to Mader, Williams was holding a gun and saying repeatedly, "Just shoot me."

Mader refused, and instead tried to calm the man down.

In a press release from the ACLU, Mader said: "He seemed depressed. As a marine vet that served in Afghanistan, all my training told me he was not a threat to others or me. Because of that I tried to deescalate the situation. I was just doing my job."

The officers who arrived soon after Mader took a different approach. One officer shot and killed Williams.
 
Rich Trump backer convicted of inaugural weekend sex abuse of hotel maids got wrist slap, tiny fine

On the weekend of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, a millionaire businessman who traveled to D.C. to celebrate the new president’s swearing-in was arrested and charged with sexual battery of two hotel maids at Washington’s downtown Mayflower hotel.

The Washington Post reported Sunday night that John Joseph Boswell was later convicted of misdemeanor sexual battery, sentenced to 10 days in jail — which he did not serve — and a mere six months’ probation, during which he was allowed to vacation in the Bahamas.

Boswell, the Post said, is the CEO of “Independent Stave Company, the world’s largest wine-and-whiskey barrel manufacturer. He lives in a 14,000-square-foot, $7 million mansion in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., 20 miles from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.”

His victims were hotel maids, one of whom is an immigrant from Africa. [The Post — like most publications — does not identify victims of sexual assault by name.] She and her coworkers, like thousands of hotel housekeepers across the country, work in constant fear of just these types of assaults — which union surveys show happen to more than half of female hospitality workers.

I know not the police but the fucking court!
 

"The police used their training"

*police officer jumps out of car erratically yelling*

"Hey, get down from there, eh! Right now, eh! Get down, eh! I'm sorry I'm white, eh! I'm sorry I'm a police officer, eh! I feel so much white guilt, eh! I'm virtue signalling, eh! Black people are right to mad at white people and they are the most superior race of all, eh!"

In a world where police use their white guilt to try to enforce the law on black people. No matter the race, no matter the gender, the black criminal is justified for slavery which didn't even happen in that country. A place where the words "I'm sorry" is the only words police say before relying on hope and numbers will convince the black criminal to comply, Canada!

Because we all know white people wont exist after several hundred more years and everybody is so happy. Even though secretly we all know the left wants to put white people in gas chambers to hurry the process.

Hey, it's only fair. White people are the cause for all the world's problems, and all problems will be fixed when white people are gone. And Asians, if you say anything regarding fact-based science, you're next!

White supremacist converts to Islam — then kills neo-Nazi pals for disrespecting his new faith: police

WTF!

A white supremacist is being accused of fatally shooting his two neo-Nazi roommates after they objected to his decision to convert to Islam.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that 18-year-old Devon Arthurs is being accused by police of gunning down two of his roommates — 22-year-old Jeremy Himmelman and 18-year-old Andrew Oneschuk — after they attacked his newfound Muslim faith.

According to police, Arthurs was upset at Islamophobia and decided to murder his two roommates “to bring attention to his cause.” Prior to converting to Islam, Arthurs was a committed white supremacist, as were his two slain roommates.

Police say that, after killing his two roommates, Arthurs went into a nearby smoke shop in Tampa Palms, where he took three hostages and threatened to kill them. After police arrived on the scene, they convinced him to release the hostages and turn himself in.

FBI busts ‘Atomwaffen’ Neo-Nazi in Florida for making explosives — and finds radiation materials

Shortly after news broke that Devon Arthurs, an 18-year-old Muslim convert and former white supremacist, killed two of his friends for attacking his new faith, more details have been revealed surrounding the murders.

According to the Miami Herald, Brandon Russell, Arthurs’ roommate, was in possession of multiple materials meant to build explosives, including a lethal bomb-making chemical named hexamethane triperoxide diamine. FBI and Tampa Police Department officers found the materials in Russell’s garage.

Russell was arrested on May 21 during a traffic stop in Key Largo, and police have not yet revealed why he was pulled over or what he was doing in the Florida Keys.

While in Russell’s bedroom, devices used by police bomb technicians alerted to the presence of radiation sources — thorium and americium.

2XWTF?
 
Sounds good to me, but can't we saw Florida off, maybe gift it to Cuba?

There's a doc online somewhere that is just titled "Florida Man"...

...because the film school director kept reading that on the front page of his midwest newspaper.

Defense attorney arrested after telling rape victim Trump would deport her if she testified

A defense attorney in Baltimore has been arrested after he allegedly told a rape victim that the Trump administration would have her deported if she testified against his client.

The Baltimore Sun reports that attorney Christos Vasiliades and his associate Edgar Ivan Rodriquez were recorded telling the victim’s husband that Immigration and Customs Enforcement was likely to pick up his wife if she testified in court and then have her deported.

“You know how things are with Trump’s laws now; someone goes to court, and boom, they get taken away,” Rodriguez said in the recording.

Additionally, the two men offered the victim’s husband $3,000 in exchange for dropping the case.

Both Vasiliades and Rodriguez were charged with counts of witness intimidation and obstruction of justice.

The Cop, the Courts, and the Lawyers, isn't there a limit to how much derp we can take?
 
‘You black b*tch!’: Miss Black Texas alleges cops arrested her after she was victim of chief’s ‘road rage

Twenty-three-year-old beauty queen Carmen Ponder was arrested and charged with evading arrest this weekend after avoiding a swerving truck on a road. The truck, however, was being driven by Hunt County Police Chief Kerry Crews.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Ponder said that she was driving to a Walmart when she was cut off by a black truck driving erratically. She explained that the truck was driving in and out of lanes and made several sudden stops. She feared it was a drunk driver and drove around the truck before turning into the store’s parking lot.

She said that the truck then pulled in beside her, Crews got out and began screaming profanities at her. He told her that he was teaching his 14-year-old daughter how to drive and that Ponder should not have driven around their truck. Ponder informed him that it was illegal for a 14-year-old to be driving and turned to walk into Walmart. According to Ponder, Crew then shouted back at her, “Oh, whatever, you black b*tch!”

Texas Cop and Florida Man, spare us!
 
US admits DEA lied about Honduras 'massacre' that killed four villagers

The US Drug Enforcement Administration lied about its role in a bungled anti-narcotics operation in Honduras that left four innocent villagers dead, then misled Congress, the justice department and the public as it tried to cover its tracks, a damning bipartisan investigation has found.

Honduran officers under the command of DEA agents fired at unarmed passengers traveling by taxi boat in May 2012, killing four people – including two pregnant women and a schoolboy – and seriously injuring three others.

The operation, which left several children orphaned, was part of a militarized DEA programme that led to a series of deadly confrontations and has now been abandoned.

The DEA had previously absolved itself of any wrongdoing, but the scathing report released by the justice department’s inspector general on Wednesday found major discrepancies in the agency’s description of the events.

So Who is going to jail over this? Who will lose their jobs? Who will be promoted to get them out of the line of fire?
 
Well, it happened on Obama's watch. :eek:

Yes, but the DEA is pretty far from the White House. Also it shows the DEA is getting a Imperial attitude. I would bet the Trumpsters won't do more that make an excuse for future failures.

If Obama can take credit for something that happened on the other side of the world, such as the death of Bin Laden, he should also take the blame for things that happen in this hemisphere.

Okay, but "W" has to take credit for pouring a Trillion dollars down the shitter for his Iraq War. And Obama has to take credit for an unending cash suck in Afghanistan.
 
Cleveland officer who shot Tamir Rice is fired, but not because of the child’s death

The city of Cleveland on Tuesday fired the police officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice and suspended another officer following an independent investigation of the high-profile November 2014 incident.

Police Chief Calvin D. Williams announced that Timothy Loehmann, who fatally shot the boy outside a recreation center as he held a pellet gun, was fired because he provided false information on his job application for patrol officer.

The second officer involved in the shooting, Frank Garmback, who was driving the police car that stopped near the boy, has been suspended for 10 days after being found guilty of violating driving rules related to that incident.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies mistakenly shot and killed a teenager in Palmdale early Thursday when their bullets bounced off the ground as they opened fire on an aggressive dog, sheriff’s officials said.

The 17-year-old was struck in the chest by at least one “skip” round several yards from the deputies as they fired several shots at a charging pit bull just after 3:40 a.m., officials said. Investigators believe the deputies did not notice the teenager in the darkness, the department said.
