In the Free Range Prison You're Free to Do Whatever You Want Except Disobey Authority: White KS Cops Attempt to Kill a Black Man who Allegedly Jaywalked on an Empty Street and Disobeyed Orders to Stop

From [HERE] and [HERE] Four white Independence police officers, the former police chief and the city are being sued for battery, racial discrimination and excessive force. The Dependent Media, controlled by elite whites, has removed the lawsuit from various web sites to protect the system of racism white supremacy and the system of authority.

It stems from an incident on Feb. 14, 2020. Justin Layton was walking along 39th Street in Independence.

Layton says the officers “senselessly tased, tackled, choke and beat” him before his head was rammed into a police vehicle. Layton also says he was called “nigger” repeatedly by the officers.

The lawsuit names as defendants four police officers — Taylor Cox, Logan Dale, Lacy Gipson and Tanner Philip — and former Police Chief Brad Halsey.The video shows officers restraining Layton. Of the officers named in the suit, only Gipson and Philip remain with the department.

In the end, Layton was arrested for jaywalking and possession of a controlled substance. Layton’s attorney said that the “controlled substance” is medication for epilepsy.

The lawsuit claims the dashcam video shows the officer using a neck restraint, and it says the chief and the city are responsible for the policies that led to Layton being detained in the first place.

It claims Independence police use a “hot map” program, which in effect profiles minorities in certain neighborhoods.

“It’s just accountability — that’s what I want,” said Layton. “That’s what I’m aiming for and I’m not going to stop until I get it.” [MORE] “He was like, ‘jaywalking.’ I was like, ‘jaywalking?’ I was walking on the sidewalk,” Layton said.

"He almost killed me," Layton said of the officer who stopped him. "He literally almost killed me."
