Worse than Rikers? Liberal Authorities at DC Jail are Using Solitary Confinement as a Default Placement for Inmates who are Vulnerable or Have Mental Health Issues in Their Dangerous, 95% Black Jail

A writer at City Paper explained I observed DOC’s frequent use of solitary confinement not just as a means to address serious infractions, but also as the default placement for people who expressed concern for their safety or who were experiencing a mental health crisis. People in solitary confinement in the DC Jail are typically held in a single cell for 23 hours a day; they are allowed one hour out of the cell for exercise and showers.

Individuals in DOC custody have been placed in isolation for nonviolent violations, such as substance use, often without the required internal hearing and attorney representation. Similar to the judicial process, if an incarcerated individual receives an institutional charge, they must have a hearing and be found guilty prior to receiving discipline. 

If an individual says they feel unsafe in general population, including for their sexual orientation or gender identity, that person is placed in “protective custody” and locked in a cell alone for 23 hours per day.

The DOC response to a mental health crisis is to send a person to a “safe cell,” where they are held until they are no longer determined to be a risk to themselves. Despite the different names, these practices all constitute solitary confinement and cause serious harm.

What I have observed to be DOC’s overreliance on isolation stands in stark contrast to its transparency around the practice. A recent report from the Council for Court Excellence highlights the difficulty the nonprofit had in getting even basic information about DOC’s use of solitary confinement. CCE requested data from fiscal years 2019 through 2021, for example, but DOC only released limited information from 2021. [MORE]

CDC Paid Coin-Operated Black Influencers w/Money from Elites [Bill Gates, Fakebook etc] to Push COVID Shots: Myth-Information about Safety Fraudulently Induced the Public into Taking Deadly Injections

From [HERE] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in partnership with the CDC Foundation, funded a toolkit to train community-based organizations on how to hire influencers to combat “vaccine myths” in communities of color.

The CDC Foundation’s donor list includes the World Health Organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and vaccine makers including Pfizer, Merck and Johnson & Johnson.

The toolkit, first rolled out in 2022, is part of a suite of resources created by the CDC’s Partnering for Vaccine Equity Program (P4VE), which targets ethnic and racial minority communities to increase vaccine uptake by funding “partnerships” with the CDC.

P4VE’s Vaccine Resource Hub is funded through a grant for over $80 million from the CDC and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It includes toolkits, unbranded digital materials and messaging in over 50 languages.

Community organizations can use the “Influencer Guide” to help them contact influencers who can spread the organizations’ messages in the influencers’ own voices.

The guide suggests targeting mid-level influencers — those who aren’t overly famous and who are preferably “self-made” — because they’re often seen as more relatable and trusted than large brands or celebrities on social media.

These influencers can effectively act as messengers with a wide reach to promote vaccination in racial and ethnic minority communities.

To maximize their online influence, the guide recommends community organizations first identify suitable candidates with a relevant background and who haven’t made “inappropriate” posts in the past.

Once they’ve identified the right influencers, organizations can ask influencers to partner with them to spread their message about, for example, the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for people in marginalized communities. [MORE]

Liberal NJ Authorities Impose 2nd Class Citizenship Onto Blacks: Using Subjective Criteria, Black Applicants w/No Criminal History are Denied Gun Permits at a Rate 2.5X higher than White Applicants

Contrary to bignorant liberal propaganda there is really nothing complicated about the 2nd amendment. Although, the Supreme Court has made it plain that the 2nd Amendment protects an individual’s right to keep and bear arms for self-defense in public, liberal AUTHORITIES are working tirelessly to make said inalienable right illusory. The court clearly stated;

Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear arms. As we explained in Heller, the “textual elements” of the Second Amendment’s operative clause— “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be in- fringed”—“guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation. Heller further confirmed that the right to “bear arms” refers to the right to “wear, bear, or carry . . . upon the person or in the clothing or in a pocket, for the purpose . . . of being armed and ready for offensive or defensive action in a case of conflict with another person.” [MORE]

2ND CLASS CITIZENSHIP From [AmmoLand] In the wake of the Bruen decision by the Supreme Court in 2022, many New Jersey residents hoped the days of restrictive firearm carry permit denials would be over.

Unfortunately, as AmmoLand News contributor John Petrolino highlights in his recent Gun Rights Policy Conference presentation, the fight for fair and equal access to gun rights in New Jersey is far from over. The issue at hand? Racial bias in the state’s gun permit process, particularly against Black applicants.

The Bruen Decision: A Game-Changer?

Let’s rewind a bit. In June 2022, the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision struck down New York’s restrictive gun permit laws, setting a national precedent for states like New Jersey. The ruling made it clear that Americans have the right to carry firearms in public for self-defense. This should have leveled the playing field for law-abiding citizens in states with strict gun laws, right?

Not exactly.

Denials Based on “Subjective Standards”

New Jersey’s response to the Bruen decision came in the form of new laws, such as the “Carry Killer” Law of December 2022, which added many “sensitive places” where guns are banned and strengthened subjective standards used to deny permits. A key statute that remains an obstacle for gun owners is N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3(c)(5), which states that authorities can deny a permit if the applicant is found to lack “the essential character of temperament necessary to be entrusted with a firearm.”

What does that even mean? Simply put, it’s vague and subjective. The problem with this is that it gives too much discretion to the people in charge of issuing permits—whether it’s a local police chief, the state police, or a Judge. They can deny someone’s permit application just because they don’t “like” them or find some reason to doubt their character. This is where things get tricky, especially when it comes to racial bias.

For more on this statute, you can read it directly here: N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3.

Racial Disparities in Gun Permit Denials: Blacks Are Denied Permits at Double the Rate!

John Petrolino uncovered some startling facts when he dug into New Jersey’s firearm permit data. According to the data (provided by the state itself), Black applicants are being denied gun permits at a rate 2.5 times higher than white applicants. That’s more than double the rate!

What’s even more shocking is that these denials are often based on non-criminal reasons, using those same subjective standards mentioned earlier. Petrolino found that Black applicants are being denied at a 2.2 times higher rate than white applicants simply based on “character” judgments. This means that Black applicants, even without any criminal background, are facing discrimination when trying to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

The data doesn’t lie, and it raises serious concerns about whether New Jersey’s apparently racisit gun permit process is fair for everyone.

Lack of Action from State Officials

When confronted with this data, New Jersey officials haven’t exactly been rushing to fix the problem. Petrolino reached out to Attorney General Matthew Platkin and Governor Phil Murphy multiple times, asking them to address the racial disparities in gun permit denials. The response? Silence.

In fact, the Attorney General’s office has refused to provide any guidance or take meaningful action to address the racial bias in the permitting process. Even though they know the data shows a clear problem, they seem content to let it continue.

This raises the question: Is New Jersey’s Democrat leadership willfully ignoring these civil rights violations?

What Needs to Change?

The numbers don’t lie. Racial bias in the gun permit process is real, and it’s a problem that needs addressing. The state should no longer be allowed to use vague, subjective standards like “character” to deny law-abiding citizens their rights. Instead, the permit process should be based on clear, objective standards, as outlined by the Supreme Court in Bruen.

Until state leaders like Attorney General Platkin and Governor Murphy take action, New Jersey’s gun owners—especially Black gun owners—will continue to face unfair barriers when trying to exercise their rights.

Black People in DC are 6X More Likely than Whites Residents to be Unemployed and the Net Worth of a Typical White Family is 81X that of a Typical Black Family, in City Controlled by Elite Liberals

According to the Economic Policy Institute, “The U.S. economy is in a strong position in the second quarter of 2024, even though the labor market is softening compared with previous quarters. The national unemployment rate rose to 4.0% in 2024 Q2, up from 3.8% in the first quarter. D.C. and California had the highest overall unemployment rates at 5.3% and 5.2% respectively, while North and South Dakota maintained the lowest unemployment rates, both at 2.0%.

Job reports through the second quarter of the year saw slight upticks in the unemployment rate from month to month, even as the labor market continued to add jobs. . .

Second-quarter 2024 trends among Black workers 

Kentucky was once again the only state with a Black unemployment rate above 10.0% in the second quarter of 2024, rising to 11.3% from 10.4%. D.C.’s Black unemployment rate was just under 10.0% at 9.9%. Among those states with large enough sample sizes for precise estimates, Maryland once again had the lowest Black unemployment rate at 3.4%, up from 3.3% in the previous quarter. South Dakota and Vermont had lower unemployment rates at 3.1% and 3.3% respectively, but those states have relatively low sample sizes that make estimates less precise. The national Black unemployment rate rose once again to 6.3% from 6.0%.

The national Black-white unemployment ratio for 2024 Q2 remained at its usual rate of 2.0-to-1, meaning that nationally once again Black job seekers were twice as likely to not find work as their white counterparts. D.C. maintained its position of having the highest Black-white unemployment ratio, though that ratio fell again in the second quarter of the year to 4.0-to-1 from 4.2-to-1. Nevada and Delaware had the lowest Black-white unemployment ratios among states with sufficient sample size for precise estimates with a ratio of 1.5-to-1—meaning Black workers were 50% more likely than white workers to be unemployed in those states. Hawaii technically had a lower Black-white unemployment ratio at 1.4-to-1, but that state has a relatively low sample size of Black workers. There are still no states where Black and white workers are equally likely to be unemployed.”

DC’s Extreme Wealth Concentration Exacerbates Racial Inequality, Limits Economic Opportunity

According to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), DC has an outsized concentration of extreme wealth relative to its overall population, according to a new report by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP). DC makes up 0.2 percent of the country’s population but has 0.5 percent of the nation’s extreme wealth – which the report defines as net worth over $30 million. Just 0.4 percent of DC tax units (roughly 1,500 households based on the number of tax filers in 2019) have net worth over $30 million, and these same tax units hold nearly half (46 percent) of all wealth in the District.  

Extreme concentration of wealth creates extreme inequality that both reflects and exacerbates racial inequality and limits economic opportunities for the majority. Across the nation, 92 percent of families holding extreme wealth are white, non-Hispanic families. This is more racially skewed than the distribution of wealth overall, of which 87 percent is held by white familiesIn DC, white households have 81 times the wealth of Black households and 22 times the wealth of Latinx households. [MORE]

James Carville Claims 'Males Of Color Will be Arrested if Trump Wins.' In Reality, White Liberals are Locking Up Thousands of Black Men in Grossly Disproportionate Numbers in the Cities They Live In

Infowars reported that MSNBC continued its daily practice of fear mongering to viewers about how Donald Trump is allegedly going to imprison his political opposition and even American citizens. While speaking to liberal probot Ari Melber Democrat Party strategist James Carville claimed that non-white men will be locked up if Trump is elected. BOO - so go vote for a Kamala, a puppet of elite whites:

“People want to know about weakness among males of color,” he said. “They’re gonna arrest all of ya! You don’t think you have a stake in this election? Guess what? You’re not gonna do very well, and I’m not gonna do well. You’re not gonna do well, alright? When the paddy wagon comes, you and I gonna be in the back of it bouncing around and it’s not gonna be very much fun.

“And they will tell you, the judge will say, ‘I’m sorry, Mr. Melber. I’m sorry, Mr. Carville. Mr. Trump said he’s gonna get rid of the Constitution, I have no choice but to enforce the Democratic norms of this country…’ It’s not far-fetched.”[MORE]

The elite, white liberal spinfidel representative Carville is either “Bignorant” and delusional or he is a racist involved in deception and on a drunken mission to trick sleeping toms. Firstly, presidents don’t have the authority to ‘get rid of the Constitution’ or to give commands to the judiciary. Secondly, whose police departments are assaulting and murdering substantial numbers of Black people with impunity in Phoenix, Aurora, Columbus, Cleveland, Minneapolis, NYC, Newark, San Francisco, DC, Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, LA, San Francisco, Atlanta, Louisville, Memphis, and ALL OTHER places Black people live? Whose prosecutors are filling the courtrooms and jails with Blacks in all the metro areas where most Black people live?? Is it MAGA making liberal prosecutors remove Blacks from juries EVERY DAY, thereby denying exercise of their rights as a citizen?

In The Spectacle elite white liberals are projected as the strong political allies of Black people who believe in freedom and protecting their rights. In reality, cops routinely disregard the rights of law abiding Black people and murder Blacks with impunity in cities where white liberals are in control. [MORE] To trick the power napping black “electorant,” elite white liberals often give lip service to police brutality and decarceration at election time, but liberal authorities are the main perpetrators of it.

It should be understood that whether a city is “controlled by elite white liberals” has nothing to do with the number of elected black officials or appointed black straw boss authorities in a given jurisdiction. In reality, Black people in general function as “a powerless class” having no power independent of elite whites. In nearly all liberal jurisdictions where blacks reside, elite whites control and own all major resources (such as banks, local mainstream media, major real estate, ports, utilities, large corporations and businesses, all major industry, major non-profits, unions, hospitals, etc) and own most major real estate and anything else of substantial material value.

Specifically, most black people live in metro areas. The U.S. metropolitan areas with the 30 largest African-American populations are [HERE] Everywhere one finds a large population of black people living in metro areas controlled by elite, white liberals, the police stop, use force, detain, prosecute and kill blacks in grossly disproportionate numbers. Contrary to Mr. Carville’s fear based rant, not only are elite white liberals doing nothing for Black people, they are refining the process of thoroughly dominating Blacks (with their consent);

A Shamburger Meal w/an Order of Unverifiable Lies for Your Vote: Micky-Dees says No McJob Records Exists for McNegro Kamala. Massa' Media says 'No Proof is Necessary,' Dismissing Stolen McValor Drama

From [HERE] McDonald’s released a statement Sunday saying it has no record of Kamala Harris ever working there, as she has repeatedly claimed; the fast-food company also noted, “…we and our franchises don’t have records for all positions dating back to the 80s….”

This deepening scandal, which social media has dubbed Stolen McValor, finally got the spotlight it deserved Sunday when former President Trump spent some time making French fries and working the drive-thru at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s.

Harris has said that she worked at McDonald's one summer between her freshman and sophomore years in school at Howard University.

In defense of their servant Massa’ media mcSplained that no record means that Kamala probably worked there. The Washington Post offered the following clogic:

"There is no reason to think that Harris didn’t work at McDonald’s in 1983 and ... every reason to think that Trump’s suggestion that she didn’t is offered in bad faith and without evidence. "

Of course, Trump didn’t break this news story, he is not a media outlet - he repeated it. Also, the allegation couldn’t be in “bad faith” because McKiddies said there is no record of her ever having a McJob. Instead of engaging in actual investigative journalism, dependent media spinfidels stick to their script and dogma, thereby avoiding McTroubling reality entanglement and keeping their masters happy.

It was a win-win for the man now widely seen as the 2024 frontrunner. He had the opportunity to show off his charming side and ability to connect with everyday people while pointing to what looks more and more like a shameless lie in Kamala’s biography. [MORE]

Trump Misses Point: Regardless of Her Chromosomes, Kamala isn't a “Black” Politician b/c She Delivers Nothing of Tangible Value to Black Communities, has No Black Ideology and is Controlled by Elites

In general, the dependent media and its parroting black media provide an uncritical examination of all black politicians unless they go against the status quo as articulated and maintained by the elite liberal political establishment or if they otherwise defy authority in some manner. In fact, most Black politicians are lionized despite failing to deliver anything of tangible, material benefit to their black constituents or despite their obvious failure to engage themselves in the nuts and bolts work of actually solving some of the many problems plaguing Black lives.

Here, we are necessarily only talking about democrat politicians because the lone criticism offered about black politicians by the dependent media is that they are ‘republican.’ Thus, they are deemed inherently suspect and ‘not really Black.’ To elite white liberals there appears to be no other criteria for “black politics” besides “not republican.” Baked into this clogic is the ignorant, unchallenged assumption that white liberals are presumed to be “pro-black” and that liberals and blacks have interchangeable political interests by default. However, Black people are not elite white liberals – and elite white liberals are not subjected to the system of racism white supremacy or the system of authority in the manner that blacks are summarily dealt with. According to the Urban League’s report, “State of Black America,” “Black people haven’t progressed since 1965” and “the Black-White disparity persists across virtually every line or indicator of life and quality of life in the US. Black people occupy the bottom of nearly every statistical category of life and have a demonstrated 2nd class citizenship in the places they reside. If you believe the concept of “race” has no scientific validity and is merely a political classification, then addressing the myriad of unjust problems plaguing Black people and their communities should be a paramount concern and an on-going emergency. Yet, the menu of political concerns and grievances articulated by elite white liberals (environmentalism, Ukraine war, Israel wars, aborticide after the 7 month, unlimited immigration, genderplex confusion, Trump obsession, free experimental “vaccines” and “good vibes”) have nothing to do with the daily realities Black people face.

Additionally, an army of thousands of black elected and [s]elected officials (borgs) at all levels of government are not a reflection of any “black power.” Rather, they are representatives of a powerless people – powerless to prevent racists from practicing racism against them and powerless to solve their own problems. So-called “black” leaders, such as Muriel Bowser, Barak Obama, Kamala Harris, Hakeem Jeffries, Gregory Meeks, or Lori Lightfoot, are not engaged in any “black politics” nor do they espouse any “black” political theory, or do they have any articulable “Black agenda.” These highly controlled individuals function as straw bosses, black wards, vassals, quislings and puppeticians who literally ‘perform leadership’ (making great speeches, symbolic gestures but doing actually nothing) to Blacks on behalf of wealthy white interests and serve as their “human resources.” Said individuals possess black chromosomes but are otherwise indistinguishable with their liberal neuropean counterparts.

The individual political successes of black elected and [s]elected officials has not translated into power directly or somehow vicariously empowered the Black masses much in the same way successful Black athlete, celebrities and entertainers also do not tangibly empower Blacks. Rather, said coin-operated Blacks enrich the pockets of powerful whites who own and control the liberal political establishment and the sports and “enterstainment” industries. Said showcase Blacks and puppeticians alike derive and maintain their success, relevance and prestige from their usefulness and allegiance to the elite whites who function as their masters.

Don’t mistake this as an endorsement of black conservatives, who at least make a logical, written attempt to explain their theory and beliefs. Rather, it is more proof that black politics is presently devoid of accountability, goals, substance, integrity and interiority. Black politics has been rendered meaningless, no longer having any ideology besides parroting whatever is on the white liberals’ agenda. It is also part of mounting evidence that voting for elite liberals and supporting their causes has been a complete disaster for Blacks. Elite liberals and their Black probots loudly and dogmatically claim that voting will solve most of their problems. However, the quality of Black citizenship stays low where the majority of Blacks live and it does so despite high turnout by the black votary.

In reality, the evidence tends to show that elite white liberals appear to have entirely opposite interests to the substantial majority of Black people. Dems claim to be a party of “freedom” yet in the metro areas where most black people live (areas all controlled by elite, white liberals) the police stop, search, detain, and degrade Blacks in grossly disproportionate numbers. Brazen cops so frequently abuse their power that no black shopper, pedestrian, motorist, juvenile, adult or black professional of any kind—could make a rational argument that so-called constitutional rights provide black people any meaningful protection from cops in the areas where they reside. Also, despite clear Supreme Court rulings concerning the right to carry a gun in public for self-defense against criminals, liberal puppeticians and authorities prohibit Blacks from protecting themselves in the crime ridden areas they live in – the same areas in which liberal police departments fail to provide meaningful protection from criminals. As such, its not clear what dems mean by freedom – perhaps they mean freedom granted and taken away by a governmental authority, not inherent, natural freedom? Dems often talk about police reform and accountability at election time, but whose police departments are assaulting and murdering Black people with impunity in Phoenix, Aurora, Columbus, Cleveland, Minneapolis, NYC, DC, Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, LA, San Francisco, Atlanta, Louisville, Memphis, and many other places? Can dems be the party of decarceration when liberal prosecutors are filling the courtrooms and jails with Blacks in places such as DC, Chicago, NYC and Atlanta? Are republicans making liberal prosecutors routinely remove Blacks from juries? If dems are a party of an ‘opportunity economy’ who is denying mortgage loans, evicting Black families and making them homeless in the places where most Black live? Is it MAGA providing a servant education to Black children who can barely read, think and count when they graduate from public fool systems in places such as Detroit and Baltimore?

Nevertheless, despite all evidence to the contrary, Black people rarely question this extraordinary phenomenon and inexplicably believe that elite, white liberals are their political allies. In so doing, the Black electorant enthusiastically barks and claps for grimacing white liberals and their Black golden retrievers, such as Kamala, and thereby remain complicit in their devolution and domination.

Black Man “Chooses” to be “Executed” by Injection Rather than Firing Squad. All White Jury Found Him Guilty of Murder of White Man, DA Removed All Potential Black Jurors. Supreme Ct Review Sought

THERE ARE ONLY FALSE CHOICES IN THE SYSTEM OF COERCION. From [HERE] Richard Moore, a Black prisoner scheduled to be murdered by authorities on Nov. 1, has chosen to die by lethal injection rather than electrocution or firing squad.

Moore's attorneys have said he never intended to kill anyone, and they've long claimed that capital punishment was not a just punishment for his crime.

Moore, 59, was convicted of murder for fatally shooting James Mahoney, a white store clerk. Moore entered a convenience store in 1999 unarmed and intending to rob the place, but a fight soon broke out between him and Mahoney, who had a gun, that resulted in Mahoney being fatally shot.  

Moore was previously scheduled for execution in 2022, and he'd chosen to die by firing squad. His execution was delayed amid legal challenges over the constitutionality of South Carolina's available murder options at the time: firing squad and electrocution. The state ran out of lethal injection drugs in 2011, effectively suspending executions.

Last year, the state was able to obtain new drugs after a 2021 law allowed officials to shield the source drug manufacturers from public disclosure. This summer, the S.C. Supreme Court ruled that firing squad and electrocution were also constitutional methods of killing the condemned.

Moore indicated his “choice” of death by lethal injection on Oct. 18, his deadline to make such a written election under South Carolina law. The paperwork was filed in the state Supreme Court, which issues execution orders.

The state's current lethal injection protocol involves a dose of the sedative pentobarbital, which is similarly used in federal executions.

With two weeks before Moore's scheduled execution, his legal team is continuing to seek a stay.

At Moore's jury trial in 2001, prosecutors struck all the Black potential jurors, resulting in his conviction and sentencing by an all-White jury. His attorneys have said his case reflects the racial discrimination that still exists in the criminal justice system. 

They've petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to step in, arguing that the removal of Black jurors from his trial was intentional and unconstitutional. The high court has not yet issued a response.

His attorneys have also asked the U.S. District Court of South Carolina to disqualify Gov. Henry McMaster from the decision of whether to grant Moore clemency. They believe McMaster — Moore's last hope outside the courts — can't objectively assess his case given the governor's previous press statements that he had "no intention" of commuting Moore's death sentence.

McMaster submitted a sworn statement with the federal court on Oct. 17, saying he will carefully study the issues presented in clemency applications before making a decision.

On Sept. 20, Freddie Owens became the first S.C. death row inmate to be executed in 13 years. Owens asked one of his attorneys to make the election for reasons of faith, and she chose lethal injection.

Columbus Cop Trial for Murdering Andre Hill Begins Mon. White Cop Shot Black Man Holding a Cell Phone w/Screen Lit Up, Wasn't Under Arrest. 22 Cops Denied CPR, Stepped Over His Dying Handcuffed Body

Everywhere one finds a large population of black people living in metro areas controlled by elite, white liberals, the police stop, use force, detain, prosecute and kill blacks in grossly disproportionate numbers. Yet Blacks rarely question this extraordinary phenomenon and inexplicably and strongly believe that elite, white liberals are their political allies who help to ‘protect their rights.’

ACLU Finds Freedom of Movement Limited for Blacks in DC [in EVERY City Controlled by Elite White Liberals w/a Large Black Population, Cops Stop and Degrade Blacks in Grossly Disproportionate Numbers]

From [HERE] A white Columbus police officer fatally shot an unarmed Black man inside a Northwest Side garage in 2020, jury selection in his trial is scheduled to begin Monday.

Columbus police officer Adam Coy, 47, is charged with murder, felonious assault, reckless homicide and two counts of dereliction of duty in the Dec. 22, 2020, shooting death of 47-year-old Andre Hill.

On December 22, 2020, 47-year-old Andre Hill was shot and killed by Officer Adam Coy of the Columbus Division of Police in Columbus, Ohio. Coy had been called to the neighborhood in response to a non-emergency call from a neighbor who reportedly witnessed someone sit in an SUV and turn the car on and off.

Hill was leaving a friend's house when Coy shot him. Hill was unarmed and was carrying just his mobile phone when he was shot on 22 December while leaving the garage of a friend, was wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt when he was killed.

The body camera footage shows the fatal shooting of Hill, who was a guest at the residence police responded to. Around 1:30 a.m, the video shows Hill inside a garage, walking toward Coy with a cellphone in his hand, the screen lit up and visible. Within seconds, Coy fires his weapons and Hill falls as Coy continues to ask Hill to show his hands.

Coy points his flashlight into the dark garage with his gun drawn and suddenly shoots Hill several times. An autopsy found bullets struck Hill in the chest, twice in the right thigh and an additional time in the right leg.

Coy did not have his body camera on when he got out of his vehicle and approached Hill, a clear violation of police policy. After the shooting, he turned it on, which activated a 60-second "look back" feature and recorded the shooting without audio.

Five minutes after he was shot by Officer Adam Coy, who is white, another officer can be heard in the footage saying: "Let's cuff him up. He's still moving."Mr Hill is then rolled over on to his stomach before being handcuffed and put on his back as the officers wait for an ambulance.

After Hill was shot, several officers handcuffed him while he lay unresponsive on the ground.Video recordings from Coy and others show that none of the multiple officers on the scene made an attempt to render first aid to Hill until ten minutes after he was shot

Minutes later, a more senior officer arrives and asks "anybody doing anything for him?" He then orders an officer to start CPR. Mr Hill was later pronounced dead.

"Andre Hill should be alive today," said Police Chief Thomas Quinlan in a video statement Thursday. "A Columbus police officer is responsible for his death. I can't defend it, I can't make it right, but I will do what is in my power."

His daughter Karissa Hill said "It is just disgusting how they did my dad. These pictures that I got to look at, I got to memorise my dad on the floor for the rest of my life and how nobody helped him.

"How there's 22 officers on the scene with body footage and not one of them helped my dad. It's unbearable. All because of this state, and who they hire.

"I mean, he is lying on the ground dying. I mean, what is Andre Hill's crime? Is it because he's a black man, and for whatever reason, police in America shoot first and ask questions later?"

The T-shirt Mr Hill was wearing on the night he died called for justice for Mr Floyd.

Ben Crump, the Hill family's lawyer, said officers' actions were unforgivable."Where is the humanity for Andre Hill? Where is the humanity for this Columbus citizen who had committed no crime, had no weapon, was unarmed, only holding a cell phone? Where is the humanity for this citizen?

"He offered no verbal commands before he started shooting Andre Hill. He didn't say stop. He didn't say freeze. He didn't say, put your hands up. He didn't give Andre Hill a chance. He didn't give him a chance."

The bodycam video shows Coy telling an officer leading him away from the home: "I gotta figure out what I missed".

"We'll take care of that I promise you," officer Jared Barsotti responded.

The footage also captures a woman inside the house where Mr Hill was shot telling officers that he had been bringing her Christmas money.

She shouted: "He was bringing me Christmas money. He didn't do anything."

Coy pleaded not guilty; the court set bond at $3 million. His trial was initially scheduled for March 7, 2022, but was postponed until November to allow Coy to recover from a recent hip replacement surgery. The trial was delayed a second time on November 1 to allow the defence more time to prepare a rebuttal for the prosecution's expert witnesses. The court scheduled the trial to begin on April 24, 2023, but it was delayed indefinitely on April 3 when Coy was diagnosed with cancer.

Destroying Black Life Over Trivialities: A TX Cop Endangered Himself by Jumping Onto a Moving Rental Car. Then He Fatally Shot the Driver, Ashtian Barnes. Stopped for Toll Violations by Another Driver

SUPREME COURT TO HEAR CASE From [HERE] On a Thursday afternoon in April 2016, a 24-year-old Black man named Ashtian Barnes was driving his girlfriend's rental car on the Sam Houston Tollway in Harris County, Texas, when he was pulled over by a traffic enforcement officer. The officer, Roberto Felix Jr., stopped Barnes because the license plate of the rental car had been linked to toll violations by another driver. About three minutes into the stop, Barnes began to drive away. Felix reacted by jumping onto the door sill of the car with his gun drawn. Within two seconds, perceiving a threat to himself as the car accelerated, Felix fatally shot Barnes.

The offenses that led to the traffic stop, which had not even been committed by Barnes, were trivial, and Felix himself created the danger to which he responded by killing Barnes. That use of deadly force was plainly unreasonable, Barnes' mother, Janice Hughes Barnes, argued in a federal civil rights lawsuit against Felix.

Although that conclusion might seem like a no-brainer, a federal judge dismissed the case, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld that decision last January. Both courts were bound by 5th Circuit precedent to focus on "the moment of the threat" that Felix confronted, ignoring both the nature of the stop and the officer's recklessness in jumping onto the car. On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to decide whether that approach, which has been embraced by four circuits and rejected by eight, is consistent with the Fourth Amendment.

In the 1985 case Tennessee v. Garner, which involved a suspected burglar, Edward Garner, who was shot while fleeing police, the Supreme Court held that the use of deadly force is unconstitutional in such circumstances "unless it is necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others." To assess whether a use of force is "objectively reasonable" under the Fourth Amendment, the Court explained four years later in Graham v. Connor, judges should consider "the totality of the circumstances," paying "careful attention to the facts and circumstances of each particular case." The Court said relevant factors include "the severity of the crime at issue, whether the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others, and whether he is actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight."*

Like Garner, Barnes was unarmed and did not plausibly pose "a significant threat of death or serious physical injury" to the general public. And unlike Garner, Barnes was not suspected of a felony or even an arrestable offense. Under the 5th Circuit's "moment of threat" standard, however, those circumstances were irrelevant. So was everything that happened before the two seconds in which Felix decided to shoot Barnes.

When Felix turned on his emergency lights, Barnes pulled over to the median on the left side of the tollway. Felix parked behind Barnes and approached the driver's side window. When Felix asked for Barnes' driver's license and proof of insurance, the 5th Circuit noted, "Barnes replied that he did not have the documentation and that the car had been rented a week earlier in his girlfriend's name." Seeing Barnes "digging around" in the car, Felix told him to stop. Claiming to smell marijuana (which a subsequent search did not find), Felix asked if Barnes had anything illegal in the car, at which point Barnes "turned off the vehicle, placing his keys near the gear shift." Barnes "told Officer Felix that he 'might' have the requested documentation in the trunk of the car."

Dash camera video showed what happened next. Felix ordered Barnes to pop the trunk, which he did. Felix asked Barnes to get out of the car, and Barnes opened the driver's side door. But then Barnes restarted the car, prompting Felix to draw his gun, point it at Barnes and say "don't fucking move." As the car began moving, Felix "stepped onto the car with his weapon drawn and pointed at Barnes," "'shoved' his gun into Barnes's head, pushing his head hard to the right," and fired two shots. When the car stopped, Felix "held Barnes at gunpoint until backup arrived [about two minutes later] while Barnes sat bleeding in the driver's seat."

One question raised by Barnes v. Felix, U.S. District Judge Alfred Bennett noted in 2021, is "whether the Court can consider the officer's conduct precipitating the shooting—which included jumping onto a moving vehicle and blindly firing his weapon inside—in determining whether the officer used excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment." Under 5th Circuit precedent, he concluded, "the answer is no."

Bennett was not happy with that answer. "By limiting the focus of the judicial inquiry so narrowly as to only examine the precise moment the officer decided to use deadly force," he wrote, "the Fifth Circuit has effectively stifled a more robust examination of the Fourth Amendment's protections when it comes to encounters between the public and the police." He urged the appeals court to "consider the approach applied by its sister courts," which makes it possible to "hold officers accountable when their conduct has directly resulted in the need for deadly force and infringed upon the rights secured by the Fourth Amendment."

In a 2022 ruling, Bennett considered only Felix's decision to draw his gun and point it at Barnes, which he deemed reasonable given that Barnes had restarted his car rather than exiting it as instructed. "The only issue before the Court today was Felix's decision to brandish his gun, not his decision to shoot it," Bennett wrote. But he again urged the 5th Circuit to "review its very narrow approach to deadly force claims."

Judge Patrick Higginbotham, who wrote the 5th Circuit panel opinion upholding the dismissal of Barnes v. Felix, took the extraordinary step of writing a separate concurrence to elaborate on the problems with that "very narrow approach." Bennett "rightfully found that [his] reasonableness analysis under the Fourth Amendment was circumscribed to the 'precise moment' at which Officer Felix decided to use deadly force against Barnes," he wrote. But he argued that "this Circuit's moment of threat doctrine" flouts "the Supreme Court's instruction to look to the totality of the circumstances when assessing the reasonableness of an officer's use of deadly force."

Expressing dismay that "a routine traffic stop has again ended in the death of an unarmed black man," Higginbotham warned that ignoring "an officer's role in bringing about the 'threat' precipitating the use of deadly force lessens the Fourth Amendment's protection of the American public, devalues human life, and 'frustrates the interest of the individual, and of society, in judicial determination of guilt and punishment.'" He noted that Garner's restrictions on the use of deadly force are especially important in light of subsequent Supreme Court rulings that approved pretextual traffic stops and allowed officers to order drivers out of their cars during any legally justified stop. Those decisions, he said, "brought fuel to a surge of deadly encounters between the police and civilians." Given that reality, he argued, it is reckless to undermine Garner by "refusing to look to the totality of the circumstances when a stop leads to the taking of a life."

The 5th Circuit and three other appeals courts "have narrowed the totality of circumstances inquiry by circumscribing the reasonableness analysis of the Fourth Amendment to the precise millisecond at which an officer deploys deadly force," Higginbotham wrote. "The moment of threat doctrine trims Garner with predictable results…eliding the reality of the role [an officer] played in bringing about the conditions said to necessitate deadly force."

But for that doctrine, Higginbotham said, it would be clear that Felix violated the Fourth Amendment. "Given the rapid sequence of events and Officer Felix's role in drawing his weapon and jumping on the running board, the totality of the circumstances merits finding that Officer Felix violated Barnes's Fourth Amendment right to be free from excessive force," he wrote. "This officer stepped on the running board of the car and shot Barnes within two seconds, lest he get away with driving his girlfriend's rental car with an outstanding toll fee. It is plain that the use of lethal force against this unarmed man preceded any real threat to Officer Felix's safety—that Barnes's decision to flee was made before Officer Felix stepped on the running board. His flight prompted Officer Felix to jump on the running board and fire within two seconds."

The "moment of threat" doctrine "is an impermissible gloss on Garner that stifles a robust examination of the Fourth Amendment's protections for the American public," Higginbotham concluded. "It is time for this Court to revisit this doctrine, [or] failing that, for the Supreme Court to resolve the circuit divide over the application of a doctrine deployed daily across this country."

That is what Janice Hughes Barnes is asking the Supreme Court to do. In two previous cases, her petition notes, the Court dodged the issue of how Garner and Graham apply when an officer uses deadly force after endangering himself. But during oral argument in one of those cases, Justice Sonia Sotomayor explained that a court should "look at everything the officer and the victim did that led up to the moment of confrontation." Justice Samuel Alito likewise assumed that "if an officer jumps in front of—or in this case onto—a moving vehicle, 'you look at the entire seizure, the jumping in front of the car plus the ultimate shooting, to determine whether it's reasonable.'"

Barnes "was no threat," his mother's lawyers note. "The threat that Officer Felix faced from the moving vehicle was the immediate consequence of his unreasonable act of
jumping onto the car. Officer Felix should bear responsibility for the foreseeable result of his own actions."

[Stop and Degrade Blacks EVERY DAY in Liberal Cities] NFL DT Christian Barmore was Just Another NGHR to Providence Cops who Subjected Black Man to Search, Fuckery; Freedom Destroyed Over Expired Tag

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT? Patriots DT Christian Barmore accused Providence police of acting "unprofessional" and racist during a traffic stop on Wednesday. However, body camera footage released by PPD seems to tell a different story.

"I just experienced for the first time 5 Providence cops being very unprofessional racism at it's finest," the 25-year-old former 2nd round draft pick wrote on X at 1:22 AM in a since-deleted tweet, describing the incident as he saw it. [more at TMZ]

The media, which is an enterprise owned and controlled by elite whites, functions to partner with police departments in their daily domination of Black people. Media probots generally parrot whatever authorities say and ignore the so-called 4th Amendment rights of Black people. Here, in this episode involving Barmore, witness all the rationalizations made by authority and media to justify the destruction of his; freedom of movement, freedom to be free from searches and seizures (car was impounded b/c tag expired 10 days ago) and his right to be left the fuck alone. According to FUNKTIONARY.

rationalization – a lame-ass attempt at self-justification. A vast majority of what man refers to as reason is simply rationalization—an egocentric (ego-sin-trick) process employed or deployed for self-serving ends. (See: Reason)

Legal truths however must give way to reality. Brazen cops so frequently abuse their power that no black shopper, pedestrian, motorist, juvenile, adult or black professional of any kind—could make a rational argument that so-called constitutional rights provide black people any meaningful protection from cops or the government in general. 4th Amendment rights exist in law books and courtrooms but such “rights” are a myth on the street for Black people. The stronger an individual’s belief is in the 4th Amendment, the further separated he is from reality and the more his expectations will be frustrated [MORE] and [more]. A more adequate description of “4th Amendment rights” are Master’s Favors which can be taken away and granted to a worthy citizen-servant by a governmental master or privileges turned on and off like a light switch in a system of free range slavery.

Most black people live in metro areas. The U.S. metropolitan areas with the 30 largest African-American populations are [HERE] Everywhere one finds a large population of black people living in metro areas controlled by elite, white liberals, the police stop, use force, detain, prosecute and kill blacks in grossly disproportionate numbers. Yet Blacks rarely question this extraordinary phenomenon and inexplicably and strongly believe that elite, white liberals are their political allies who help to ‘protect their rights.’

To trick the gullible black votary elite white liberals often pay lip service about police brutality and decarceration at election time, claiming that police unaccountability is somehow part of Democrats agenda, despite all evidence to the contrary and contravention of the reality that authorities in cities controlled by elite, white liberals are the main perpetrators of it;

A FREE RANGE PRISON. Authorities and their media often mischaracterize police stops of Black drivers and Black citizens as ‘minor intrusions’ or temporary interferences with their freedom. For example, NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg attacked a NYC court decision which ruled stop and frisk unconstitutional, by claiming, “stop and frisk is not racial profiling.” In reality, the pervasive use of authority to arbitrarily stop law abiding Black people against their volition terrorizes and degrades their humanity and “citizenship” and chills their inherent human right to freedom of movement.

Black scholars Naa Kwate and Shatema Threadcraft explain that unlawful stops of Black people lead to “Embodied stress, fear and trauma” because “the subject knows that any encounter may well end in death—and moreover, that the death may go unpunished.” The frequency of such “routine” stops ‘produces bodies that are harassed, stressed and resource deprived, if not altogether dead.’ Kwate and Threadcraft state, “Even those who are not stopped fear being stopped, fear death, and thus also find themselves in the grip of this form of necropower.” The omnipresent threat of being stopped for no reason by police is a form of “torture-lite” according to scholar Paul Butler. Here, the difference between adherent rights and inherent rights should be understood. FUNKTIONARY explains,

adherent rights – privileges disguised as so-called “rights” created by men via deceptive word-manipulation in written form called “symbolaeography,” and legal documents. 2) privileges granted by an apparent or putative authority at the expense of one's inherent or unalienable ‘rights.’ Also, “rights deriving from the corporate government (against itself) that can be liened against or taken away at any time by the creator or grantor of the bestowed right or benefit.”

inherent rights – unalienable and unassailable rights. Also, “All individual’s have unalienable rights. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. [MORE]

rights” – useful fictions declared in order to make agents of another type of fiction (“government”) have to play along in their deadly theatrical (tragicomedy) game. 2) mere fictions, the contemplation of which leads only to a progressive social, personal, racial and jurisprudential separation from reality. Discussion and debates about “rights” merely evades the FAQ, i.e., the frequently avoided question of who is to enforce any “right” and who will benefit from the pretense. [MORE]

unalienable rights –You can't surrender, sell or transfer unalienable rights, they are a gift from the creator to the individual and can't under any circumstances be surrendered or taken. [MORE]

Hans Buchheim explains, ‘The humanity of each person is the interior reference point of every natural or inherent right. We are all naturally endowed with rights - rights that we possess because we are human beings (regardless of whether we have earned them or are deemed worthy of them by a government authority) – these rights are not given or taken away. Said rights are necessary to human dignity and autonomy - among other things, these natural rights include the right of freedom of movement, the right to be free from detentions, seizures, searches and the right to be left the fuck alone.’

Pervasive, arbitrary stops function to “niggerize,” degrade humanity and humiliate Blacks in public, rendering them “unsafe, unprotected, subjected and subjugated to random violence” by government authority. The undeceiver Jeremy Locke points out that “slavery is not a concept of totality . . . The ultimate slavery is murder . . . Slavery is found both in the partial and complete destruction of freedom.” Prolific stops by cops everywhere a large number of Black people reside, inhibit their freedom of movement and function as a tool to keep Blacks confined to a physical, social and symbolic space. Thus, elites use arbitrary stops to help dominate Black people and control their movements by force. Such stops are a form of slavery. The result is a 2nd class citizenship for Blacks. Legal scholar Charles Epps observes, “police stops convey powerful messages about citizenship and equality. Across millions of stops, these experiences are translated into common stories about who is an equal member of a rule-governed society and who is subjected to arbitrary surveillance and inquiry.” FUNKTIONARY makes it plain, “People who are awake see cops as mercenary security guards that remind us daily, through acts of force, that we are simultaneously both enemies and slaves of the Corporate State

The above is part of mounting evidence that voting for liberals and supporting their causes has been a complete disaster for Blacks. In metro areas controlled by elite white liberals Black people’s so-called “rights” are turned on and off like light switches as cops routinely surveil, stop, detain and search their clothing, possessions, cars and generally interfere with their freedom of movement as they attempt to go about their daily lives. Additionally, in the same places, police have mauled, injured and put thousands of Black people into greater confinement and murdered hundreds with impunity.[MORE]

Elite liberals and their Black probots loudly and dogmatically claim that voting will solve most of their problems. However, the quality of Black citizenship stays low where the majority of Blacks live and it does so despite high turnout by the black votary. Dr. Frances Cress Welsing explained Black people are currently in a “losing streak that is centuries long.” According to the Urban League’s report, “State of Black America,” “Black people haven’t progressed since 1965” and “the Black-White disparity persists across virtually every line or indicator of life and quality of life in the US. That is, Black people occupy the bottom of nearly every statistical category of life. [MORE]. To racist suspect elite white liberals, Black people and their welfare are not the end of the electoral process but merely the means for winning. “It’s high time to cut the leash.”

Black Houston Cop Sentenced to 60 Years in Prison for Killing White Couple He Falsely Accused of Selling Heroin [question; if a white cop killed a Black . . never mind]

From [HERE] Gerald Goines, the mendacious former Houston narcotics officer who had a habit of framing drug suspects, received two concurrent 60-year prison sentences on Tuesday for causing the deaths of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas, who were killed during a 2019 raid that Goines instigated by falsely accusing them of selling heroin. Since Goines is 60 years old and won't be eligible for parole until he serves half of his prison term, the penalty probably amounts to a life sentence.

"This is historic because we believe this is the first-ever murder conviction of a Houston-area law enforcement officer [for a crime] committed while in uniform," said Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg. The reason such verdicts have been so hard to obtain, she explained, is that "people want to believe in the police—that's who we're trained to trust from the time we're little."

In this case, that trust was sorely misplaced. Goines targeted Tuttle and Nicholas, a middle-aged couple who had lived at 7815 Harding Street for two decades, based on 911 calls from a neighbor, Patricia Garcia, who described them as armed and dangerous drug dealers who had sold her daughter heroin. Garcia, who did not even have a daughter, later admitted she had made the whole thing up, pleading guilty to federal charges related to her false reports.

After an officer visited the Harding Street house and saw no evidence of criminal activity, a supervisor asked Goines, a 34-year veteran assigned to Squad 15 of the Houston Police Department's Narcotics Division, to investigate Garcia's tip. Two weeks later, after an investigation that was cursory if not nonexistent, Goines obtained a no-knock search warrant, claiming a confidential informant had bought heroin at the house from "a white male, whose name is unknown." Goines reported that the informant had seen "a large quantity of baggies" containing heroin, along with "a semi-auto hand gun of a 9mm caliber"—a claim he used to bolster the justification for allowing him and his colleagues to enter the home without knocking and announcing themselves.

Police ultimately found personal-use quantities of marijuana and cocaine at the house. But there was no heroin, no other evidence of drug dealing, and no 9mm pistol. Goines later confessed he had invented the heroin purchase. [MORE]

White Liberal DA Fails to Charge White Aurora Cop Who Murdered Kilyn Lewis; Shot Black Man While He was Holding a Phone w/Both Hands Up [white supremacy is not about hate, but Domination of Blacks]

From [HERE] Aurora Police Department SWAT Officer Michael Dieck will not face criminal charges in the death of 37-year-old Kilyn Lewis, who Dieck fatally shot outside an apartment complex in May while trying to arrest him on suspicion of attempted murder.

Arapahoe County District Attorney John Kellner found Dieck “reasonably believed there was an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury,” justifying the deadly use of force under Colorado law, Kellner wrote in a decision letter published Friday. Lewis was unarmed during the encounter.

Dieck was among a team of Aurora and Denver police officers who surveilled Lewis for two days before trying to arrest him as he exited a car outside an apartment complex on South Ironton Street on May 23.

Lewis was a suspect in a May 5 first-degree attempted murder in Denver.

Lewis reached behind his back after police surrounded him with guns drawn and ordered him to show his hands and get on the ground, according to the decision letter and body-worn camera footage released by Aurora police. 

He removed a phone and white tubes of fruit snacks from his pocket and was holding them in his hands as he raised them in the air when Dieck shot him once in the stomach, according to the decision letter. Lewis died from the gunshot wound on May 25.

Kellner’s review of the shooting found officers identified themselves and yelled repeated commands for Lewis to show his hands and get on the ground. Lewis walked several feet toward officers and the front driver-side door of the car, then put his hand into his rear pocket and removed it, according to the letter.

Dieck told investigators he thought Lewis had pulled out a gun and was preparing to shoot at him and other officers. Other officers at the scene also told investigators they thought Lewis was pulling out a gun.

COPS WERE LESS THAN 30 FEET AWAY AND THOUGHT A CELL PHONE WAS GUN? It is true that cops have the power to use force offensively to kill when they face an imminent threat of deadly harm. Nevertheless, Mr. Lewis had his hands up - the universal way of obeying authority. There is obvious probable cause for murder; just hit play and watch one of the 3 videos. The media, which is controlled by elite white folks is doing its best to rationalize the decision not to charge the white cop. In order to do this, the media attempts to make it seem reasonable that a cell phone could like a gun from less than 25 feet away. At least it does to racist suspects in a Black person’s hand. Such a misperception of reality has lead to perhaps thousands of Black murders in which phones look like guns, tasers look like guns, immobile cars are dragging cops, guns underneath shirts are still visible, hands up means an attack is imminent, etc. Such deluded thinking can only rationalize itself in a racist mind (or the enslaved mind of a non-white individual) when it encounters color.

Kellner presented a half-hearted case to an Arapahoe County grand jury for consideration, which declined to accept the case for further investigation, according to the letter.

The Justice for Kilyn E. Lewis Action Team released a statement from the family expressing disappointment and outrage on how the family heard the decision.

“For nearly five months, our family has been left in the dark, waiting for answers. Without advance notice or any communication, we learned through the media that District Attorney John Kellner had released findings, a 20-page document made public without our knowledge or opportunity to review,” the statement said. “The lack of respect and regard for our family is staggering as we have been present and begging for answers and transparency since we lost Kilyn.”[MORE]

Lewis’ death has sparked protests at Aurora City Council meetings and other events. His family did not have advance notice that Kellner was releasing the decision letter on Friday, according to a statement from the Justice for Kilyn E. Lewis Action Team.

“This decision is not only a failure of justice but a message that the life of an unarmed Black man like Kilyn means nothing to the very system that is supposed to protect us,” organizers wrote in the statement.

The group is holding a community rally to “demand answers (and) demand accountability” at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway.

White DA (GOP) Finds Omaha Cop's Murder of Steven Phipps Justified: Claims a Fleeing Black Man Posed a Threat b/c He "Pointed" a Gun at Cops While Upside Down, in Mid-Air and Jumping Over a Fence

Above DID STEVEN PHIPPS POSE A THREAT WHILE UPSIDE DOWN IN MID-AIR? COPS FIRED BEFORE HE HIT THE GROUND. IN PHOTO WHITE authorities; 2 OMAHA COPS, COUNTY ATTORNEY, POLICE CHIEF AND MAYOR. WHITE MEDIA MISSING FROM PHOTO. WHAT IS COLLECTIVE WHITE POWER? WHEN WHITE COPS KILL A BLACK MAN who POSed NO IMMINENT THREAT TO THE COP AND HIS FELLOW WHITE OFFICERS, the white mayor, white prosecutor AND THE WHITE MEDIA SUPPORT AND DEFEND THAT WHITE POLICE OFFICER’S “RIGHT” TO DO SO.  MORE]

 From [HERE] The officer who fired his gun at Steven Phipps Jr. eight times in less than three seconds won’t face charges.

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said in a release Monday that the actions of Omaha Police Officer Noah Zendejas during the Sept. 28 traffic stop and subsequent foot pursuit were justified.

“After careful review of the video evidence and statements made, the actions of Mr. Phipps in producing a firearm at a traffic stop, not complying with the officer’s commands and Mr. Phipp’s gun barrel being pointed toward the officer during the incident justified the officer’s decision to use deadly force.”

Statement from Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine

OPD Chief Todd Schmaderer said during a news conference last week that Phipps, 22, died after he was shot by Officer Zendejas while scaling a fence after he fled from officers during a traffic stop at about 5:45 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, just south of 31st Street and Ames Avenue.

Police maintain that most of the 8 shots were fired while Phipps was in midair

Nevertheless, the video speaks for itself. Police claim that somehow while Phipps jumped head first over a high fence and was upside down and in mid air while falling to the ground, he managed to point a gun at police. Said narrative appears to be contradicted by the video.

First of all the incident happened in less than 2 seconds. That is, Phipps was running at a high speed when he jumped head first over the fence. He did not “point” or aim the gun at police while he was upside down in mid air. The jump happened so fast it would have been impracticable for Phipps to “aim” a gun and impossible for the cop to see a gun aimed at him. It is quite obvious that police 1) obtained the surveillance video 2) watch it super slow motion over and over again and 3) then created a false narrative to justify the murder. White media believed it.

Contrary to media myth-information that “video showed Phipps still had the gun in his hand as he jumped the fence and only dropped it after being shot,” stills from video show that the gun falls out of his hand before he hits the ground. Regardless, to justify the use of deadly force the threat must be an imminent one. As such, without more facts, mere possession of the gun does not constitute an imminent threat. The Black man was fleeing. There are no facts that tend to show he posed a threat.

His aunt, Angela Phipps, said after seeing the police footage, she heard Phipps repeatedly say "don't shoot me" after he hit the ground while holding his hands and one leg up in a defensive position.

Michigan AG Charges 2 Sterling Heights Officers for Felony Assault: White Cop Ordered Police Dog to Attack Black Man who had Surrendered and was on the Ground Surrounded by a Gang of White Cops

From [HERE] Two Sterling Heights police officers were charged for misconduct and felonious assault for K-9 deployment on Tuesday during an arrest of a suspect where questions of excessive force had been raised.

Officers James Sribniak, 31, and Jack Currie, 29 were criminally charged announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Each officer is charged with one count of Misconduct in Office, a 5-year felony, and Felonious Assault, a 4-year felony.

The case stems from a Feb. 25 case during the pursuit and arrest of Garry Young, of Roseville, accused of assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, fleeing, domestic violence, operating with a suspended license. The two officers had been on paid leave amid the investigation.

While the suspect was on the ground, surrounded by officers, and after having received two Taser deployments, Officer Currie allegedly urged Officer Sribniak to deploy his K9 to bite the suspect.

Prosecutors say Officer Sribniak, controlling the K9, ordered the dog to bite the suspect, which he did, on the suspect's right hip.

The use of force lasted about a minute police say, and after it happened, Young was taken for medical attention for minor injuries.

"K9 assistance can be a valuable tool for law enforcement but must be deployed with good judgment," said Nessel. "K9 Officers are rigorously trained in the proper use of police dogs and should be held to the highest standards of conduct.

"We should be able to trust them to not deploy a dog as an unnecessary and unlawful punitive measure to brutally attack a human being. In this incident, deploying a K9 on a suspect already on the ground and well-surrounded by officers is not only horrific but illegal.

"My office remains committed to thoroughly investigating and prosecuting police misconduct."

Sribniak and Currie have not yet been arraigned, and future court dates have not yet been set.

Young is accused of beating his girlfriend, ripping her clothes off — and choking her 16-year-old daughter, who tried to stop him. Young then returned to the house while officers are there. They tried to get him to exit his vehicle.

Young fled in his vehicle — but stop sticks deployed by police blew out one of his tires. Police, knowing he was drunk and already allegedly hurt a child, pursued.

"We wanted to get him in custody and we wanted to make sure the people inside that house were safe," said Dwojakowski. "And we thought that was the most prudent thing to do."

According to police, the chase lasted 13 miles — going through six red lights, almost hitting a pedestrian — and with Young receiving two more flat tires.

After Family Called Mental Health Hotline Seeking Advertised Mobile Outreach from Trained Professionals, Jersey City SWAT Cops Arrived and Murdered Black Man. Liberal Mayor Defended Cops - Suit Filed

UNDER ARREST FOR ?? From [HERE] The family of a Jersey City man killed by city police last year has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city, Hudson County, and a local hospital, claiming the defendants’ failure to follow standard law enforcement de-escalation techniques during the man’s mental health crisis led to his death and violated his civil rights.

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday morning, comes one year after police shot and killed Andrew “Drew” Washington at his home, where they were dispatched when his family members say they called a hotline seeking mental health professionals to help him.

The plaintiff, Courtnie Washington, Andrew’s sister and the administrator of his estate, alleges that her brother’s death could have been avoided and is seeking unspecified damages. She claims that established state and federal law enforcement guidelines for dealing with individuals with mental health conditions were not followed by Jersey City police officers, and also alleges that medical health professionals failed to show adequate care with Washington.

“Everything the police did was wrong. My brother was not dangerous and they knew that,” Washington told the New Jersey Monitor. “If my brother had a heart attack or he had cancer, would you act this way as police officers? No.”

The suit cites a series of events that culminated in Washington’s death on August 27, 2023.

Family members called a mental health hotline asking for the advertised mobile outreach of trained mental health professionals to help Washington, 52, who suffered from multiple mental health disabilities, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and bouts of psychosis that involved auditory hallucinations. However, the mental health team was never dispatched, according to the suit, which says officials instead sent paramedics untrained in mental health issues and a heavily armed “SWAT-like” force trained to respond to armed criminal suspects and terrorism suspects.

The complaint states,

“In direct contradiction to basic de-escalation principles…[officers] unnecessarily treated the situation like a dangerous standoff that could only be resolved through use of force.” Drew was alone in his apartment, not suspected of any crime, and not a threat to anyone. His family had sought assistance from a mental health professional. But instead, armed with tactical gear, guns, and shields, officers taped over the peephole of Drew’s door and tied a rope around the doorknob, ignoring his requests for them to leave. Losing patience, officers decided to blow the door open—an action that predictably terrified Drew, who officers found in his apartment holding a kitchen knife. Moments later, he was shot and tased by officers. Family members waiting outside were not told that Drew had been shot and were prohibited from talking to him or going with him to the hospital, where he later died alone.

Attorney Amelia Green said the entire incident that resulted in Washington’s death didn’t have to happen. Washington was alone in his home, not at risk of harm to anyone, and had asked police to leave, Green told the New Jersey Monitor.

“The violence ensued when the police broke down his door without justification,” said Green, who is lead counsel for the plaintiff. “What the Jersey City police did was unnecessarily escalate the situation in contravention of every basic principle of policing. The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office has issued clear directives, aligned with the national standard, that when you’re dealing with individuals with mental health issues, you’re supposed to de-escalate, disengage, and ensure you’re not doing anything to create a situation where there might be the use of force. Here, the police did the exact opposite of those basic principles.”

After the shooting, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop defended the officers’ actions, telling reporters, “We do feel those police officers acted properly, we want the public to know that.” Fulop said anyone would be “hard-pressed” to say officers and medical personnel dispatched by Jersey City Medical Center “could have acted differently in this situation.”

Fulop also claimed Washington charged at officers with a knife. The complaint says Washington was holding a kitchen knife because “he was scared for his life.” Fulop is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor in 2025.

Green categorically rejected the city’s official response, saying the actions of police officers last August were “a clear violation of New Jersey state directives that they’re required to follow.”

“The mayor should have taken accountability, because the Jersey City Police Department botched this entire incident, killing a man. Instead, he has made comments to try and cover up the misconduct in this case and justify what’s happened, even going as far as suggesting things that simply are not true,” Green said. “The city should be taking accountability for this and make sure this never happens again.”

Courtnie Washington knows she cannot get her brother back. But she believes his death doesn’t have to be in vain.

“This idea of villainizing people with mental health disabilities needs to stop,” Washington said. “Drew was pretty easy to love. He had a really beautiful heart, and he had unwavering faith. He made you feel hope after you talked to him. Drew was the reason why our family even began to talk about mental health, because we had to. I want people to know that. He was our light.”

Freedom of Movement for Blacks Restricted in Liberal City: Although Nassau (NY) Cops Knew They Stopped the Wrong Man They Threw 60 Yr Old Black Man's Stuff In the Street and Assaulted and Arrested Him

MAYBE THEY'RE NOT VOTING for ENOUGH LIBERALS IN CITY CONTROLLED BY ELITE, WHITE LIBERALS? 

From [HERE] It was three days before Christmas when Tyrone Phifer, a then-60-year-old Black man, was assaulted, abused and arrested by police in New York after they said he “fit the description” of another Black man named “Leroy” — who was 20 years his junior.

Last month, Phifer filed a lawsuit against the Nassau County Police Department and the officers involved in his arrest, including Sgt. Daniel Imondi, police officers Patrick McGrath, Quinn R. Knauer and Richard J. Fosbeck as well as Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick J. Ryder.

The lawsuit filed by Nassau County attorney Frederick K. Brewington in the Eastern District of New York accuses the police department of having a long history of racial profiling.

The Atlanta Black Star states,

According to available data in Nassau County … Black people are subject to traffic stops at 3.1 times the rate of white people; Black people are subject to Terry Stops at 4.7 times the rate of white people; and Black people are subject to being frisked at 6.8 times the rate of white people.

The lawsuit states that 3,656 Black people were arrested in Nassau in 2021, compared with 3,400 white people — even though Black people make up only 10.6 percent of the county’s population.

The Arrest

According to the complaint;

19. While leaving his podiatrist' s office, Plaintiff, TYRONE PHIFER was stopped by the NASSAU COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT and Defendants IMONDI and FOSBECK allegedly being a person named "Leroy." Plaintiff immediately identified himself and told the officer that his name was not Leroy but was Tyrone. The officer did not state his purpose or authority.

20. While Defendant officers alleged the first name of the person they were looking for was "Leroy" they did not disclose the last name nor the age, height, weight, skin tone, hair length or any other distinguishing factors for the person they alleged to be Leroy

21. Defendant officers were actually not looking for a person named Leroy, but according to police records, the complaint lodged with police the name of the person they were allegedly looking for was named Wilfred Elwin, who was approximately 40 years old, 6 feet tall, with short hair, with a thin build, dressed all in black, who talks to himself. Further, the claim was that the person being sought was carrying a black bag.

22. Mr. Phifer is neither named Leroy or Wilfred Elwin. At the time of this initial interaction with police, Plaintiff was 60 years old, was not dressed all in black, was wearing a baseball style cap, did not maintain a thin build, did not talk to himself and was not carrying a black bag.

23. In fact, Mr. Phifer was dressed in a grey shirt, his hair was not exposed, had on a black coat and blue jeans, he was carrying two brown paper bags and an umbrella that was brand new.

24. Initially, Defendant DANIEL IMONDI and Defendant POLICE OFFICER RICHARD
J. FOSBECK detained Plaintiff and immediately disrespected Plaintiff and stated to Mr. Phifer "Let's stop the bull shit, Leroy. You know what you did." Mr. Phifer, while being taken aback, had no idea to what these officers were referring. Unsure what was going on, Mr. Phifer turned around, noticed no one else was there, and said, "who? Me?" To which the Defendants officer disrespectfully said, "yea you! You know you beat up the woman!"

25. Mr Phifer explained to Defendant Fosbeck that he had the wrong guy and was not Leroy. The Defendants continued questioning Plaintiff using the false name and referring to Mr. Phifer calling him by the name of Leroy.

26. Mr. Phifer repeatedly stated that he was not named Leroy and that he wanted to be left alone. His request to be left alone was ignored.

27. Mr. Phifer wanted no contact with the police and he was fearful of them based on their disrespectful actions, comments, tone and behavior. Mr. Phifer attempted to walk away, however his path and freedom to move were blocked.
28. SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI, who was recording the events on his body camera, spoke to Mr. Phifer who was standing now with two officers around him~. Defendant Imondi, without permission, authority or legal basis advanced toward Plaintiff and reached toward him attempting to take Mr. Phifer's umbrella out of his hand, which also was holding two brown paper bags, which contained medical documentation and Christmas gifts given to him by his foot doctor's office.

29. As Mr. Phifer stepped away and pulled back his umbrella and he asked the officers, "what are you doing?" Defendant Imondi then snatched the umbrella out of Plaintiff's hand and threw it, along with his other belongings, on the ground as Defendant Fosbeck attacked Plaintiff from the rear using force to place him in a arm bar hold which restricted Plaintiff's use of his arms and his ability to be free to control his body movements.


30. Defendants made false statements and fabricated facts and claims in what they reported occurred. They Officers intentionally fabricated a story and informed prosecutors that:

"[t]hey asked him to put the umbrella down and refused to comply with Sergeant Imondi's verbal commands and still refusing to give identification and now became combative and more animated with his hands. For officer's safety, Sergeant Imondi attempted to remove the umbrella from arrestee's left hand, when arrestee pulled back the umbrella, Sergeant Imondi was able to remove the umbrella from defendant's left hand, the arrestee immediately went after Sergeant Imondi..."

31. Mr. Phifer did not give the officers permission to take his property, to physically touch him and most certainly did not agree to have his freedom and liberty restricted by these officers.

32. As Defendant IMONDI remained in arm's reach of Plaintiff, Defendant Fosbeck continued to escalate the situation by pulling Plaintiff, TYRONE PHIFER'S arms behind his back. SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI failed to intervene in this seizure of Plaintiff, but instead grabbed Plaintiffs belongings out of his hand while TYRONE PHIFER'S arms were pulled forcefully backwards and his body was in multiple directions.

33. At the time of the filing of this Complaint the version of this interaction that has been revealed to Plaintiff was that which was captured on Defendant IMONDI's body camera. This recording, which starts off with no sound, demonstrates that officers instigated unlawful contact and escalated the situation using force and abusing Mr. Phifer.

34. Upon information and belief, the Defendants knew that Plaintiff was not the person they were looking for prior to him being attacked and seized by Defendants.

35. Once the sound on the body camera of Defendant Imondi comes on, Mr. Phifer, who was presently restrained by officers was heard saying "Give me my stuff]. Look at my ID! Look at my prescription!" in an attempt to further justify that he had done nothing wrong, and to show the Defendant police officers that they were in the process of actively physically assaulting and detaining the wrong man.

36. In fact, Defendant Imondi went into Plaintiff's pocket and removed his telephone and then picked Plaintiff' s prescription offofthe ground that were pulled from Plaintiff' s grasp and read
it. At that point Defendants knew Mr. Phifer's identity and admitted same. They knew that Plaintiff was not the person that they claim they were looking for, yet they continued to assault and use force to limit Plaintiff's ability to control his own movements.

37. When SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI bent down and grabbed the prescription Mr. Phifer protested being abused and said "Get off of me! Get off of me! I didn't do anything! I just came out of the fucking doctor!" Defendant DANIEL IMONDI, who viewed Plaintiff' s prescription, confirmed in that moment that he was who he said he was which was "TYRONE PHIFER" and further established that Plaintiff's name was not "Leroy" or "Wilfred Elwin."

38. POLICE OFFICER FOSBECK proceeded to pull TYRONE PHIFER backwards towards Grand Avenue while this exchange was happening, ignoring that Sergeant DANIEL IMONDI had since confirmed that TYRONE PHIFER was not "Leroy"or "Wilfred Elwin."

39. As POLICE OFFICER FOSBECK pulled TYRONE PHIFER backwards, POLICE OFFICER FOSBECK caused TYRONE PHIFER to fall to move in a westerly direction whilst still

restraining TYRONE PHIFER's arms behind his back. As a result of the restraint and force applied to ~TYRONE PHIFER, he was made to fall backward directly on top of Defendant Fosbeck.

40. POLICE OFFICER RICHARD J. FOSBECK and SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI proceed to then use force to turn Mr. Phifer on his stomach into the prone position while TYRONE PHIFER continued to scream "What is going on! I didn't do anything! I had hip surgery! Why are you on me! I just walked out the fucking doctor! You have the wrong person! You have the wrong person!" to which SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI acknowledge this fact and responded, "I understand that!". Mr. Phifer also advised the Defendant Officers that he had hip surgery and that they were hurting him by them placing him on the ground and forcing his hands behind him, putting pressure on his hip, back, neck, face and arms.

41. Despite the admission that they had the wrong person, Defendant officers proceeded to handcuff Mr. Phifer and continue to physically restrain Mr. Phifer, forcing his body and his head

(face first) to the ground placing their knees and body weight on TYRONE PHIFER. Neither Defendant Imondi nor Defendant Fosbeck or any other officers attempted to intervene to stop the

other from their on going mental and physical abuse of Plaintiff.
42. Two more Nassau County Defendant officers arrived on the scene, OFFICER QUINN

R. KNAUER and OFFICER PATRICK MCGRATH.
43. Both Officer Knauer and Officer McGrath stood by and watched and listened to what

Defendants Imondi and Fosbeck were doing and failed to intervene. They failed to protect Mr. Phifer and allowed the abuse to which he was being subjected, and did so despite their obligation

to ensure that Mr. Phifer's person and rights were not being violated.
44. At the same time either or both Officer Knauer or McGrath joined in on using force in restraining the liberty of Mr. Phifer and arresting him.

45. Defendant POLICE OFFICER DANIEL IMONDI then untruthfully and contrary to the indisputable evidence, continued to fabricate and told TYRONE PHIFER "When I tried to talk
to you, you tried to swing" and TYRONE PHIFER immediately responded, stating "NO I DIDN'T!"

46. The officers then using disrespectful language and speaking to Mr. Phifer as though he were an animal, aggressively picked Plaintiff up and then sat TYRONE PHIFER on the bench located nearest to him while an officer was heard yelling "sit him up" and telling Mr. Phifer to "sit.".

47. The Defendant officers without cause or legal basis placed handcuffs on TYRONE PHIFER with no regard for the fact that the entire situation was wrongfully created by the carelessness, recklessness, complete disregard and incompetence of their own actions and escalation of the entire situation.

48. Mr. Phifer continued to tell the officers: "I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything." The officers while admitting that Mr. Phifer did not do anything wrong responded "I didn't say you
did Tyrone." Mr. Phifer responded to this admission by asking, "So why the fuck are you all attacking me?".

49. POLICE OFFICER PATRICK MCGRATH then handed TYRONE PHIFER's New York State Identification card to Defendant SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI, which again confirmed that Mr. Phifer was not the person they claimed they were looking for.
50. Defendants FOSBECK, DANIEL IMONDI, KNAUER AND PATRICK MCGRATH had all positively confirmed that they had detained, tackled, assaulted, restrained, kneeled on, screamed at, handcuffed, falsely accused, intimidated, and harassed the wrong person.

51. And yet, despite this acknowledgment, once again, the Defendants did not stop their abuse of Plaintiff.

52. TYRONE PHIFER once again informed Defendants including Defendants McGrath, Imondi, Fosbeck ans Kanuer that he was not Leroy.

53. This information was met by no response from any of the officers, just a long period of silence.

54. Two women from the podiatrists' office (Baldwin Food Care), where TYRONE PHIFER had been for a doctor's appointment earlier that morning, came out of their office to see what was going on and' attempted to gather Mr. Phifer's scattered belongings which Defendant Officer had strewn on the ground.

55. Not only were. the women's efforts met with a level of callous disregard for Mr Phifer's belongs, which include Christmas gifts which the women had just provided to Plaintiff, but POLICE OFFICER FOSBECK wrongfully stated "He's [Mr. Phifer] out of control so just step back." This was an attempt to wrongfully justify the wrongful actions taken and to coverup Defendants treatment of TYRONE PHIFER. These statements and directives were made to place fear in the women and to mask the abuse of the police violence, force and mistreatment in which they had engaged. It was also an attempt to suggest that Mr. Phifer deserved to be treated this way by being tackled, restrained and detained on his way home from the doctor and that he was a danger
to them.

56. Mr. Phifer promptly told the officers that they jumped on him. To which Defendants wrongfully state that no one jumped on him.

57. POLICE OFFICER FOSBECK went on to tell TYRONE PHIFER "You fit a description" and SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI chimed in to say "You fit the description!" to which TYRONE PHIFER responded "so every black man fits the fucking description?"

Phifer was charged with obstruction of governmental administration, and it took 10 months for the charges to be dropped. He was arrested a little after 10 a.m., then transported to a local hospital where he says he remained handcuffed to a gurney until 8 p.m.

Phifer, now 63, says he was left traumatized by the incident and can no longer go to medical appointments or shop for groceries without family members. 

“I thought I was really going to be hurt, or accused of something they knew I didn’t do,” Phifer told Newsday. “It really bothered me.”

The lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District of New York, accuses the cops of fabricating evidence, false arrest, malicious prosecution, abuse of process and failure to intervene, the latter count referring to the cops who showed up as he was being abused and either stood by to watch or joined in the abuse.

“That morning was the worst day of my life,” Phifer said in a press conference last month. 

“I feared for my life,” further elaborated the National Guard veteran and grandfather of eight.



Advocates Request DOJ to Investigate Dallas Police. Present Data Showing that Most People Killed by Cops are Black but Blacks are Only 24% of the Population in City Controlled by Elite Liberals

From [HERE] A local activist group is calling on the federal Department of Justice to investigate the Dallas Police Department for what it calls unconstitutional policing. 

The CBS News Texas I-Team exclusively obtained a copy of the formal complaint sent to the DOJ by Mothers Against Police Brutality. In the letter submitted Thursday, the activist group asks for a federal investigation into what it describes as "a city that prioritizes hiding disturbing trends of police violence from public view."

The DOJ has investigated other departments in recent years, including in Minneapolis after George Floyd's murder in 2020. In some cases, these investigations have led to major reforms.  

The I-Team reached out to the Dallas Police Department for comment Thursday afternoon. A department spokesperson said the complaint filed with the DOJ has not been shared with Dallas police, but added the department takes the issues addressed in the complaint seriously and has "worked proactively for years to promote and uphold the highest standards of policing." 

The complaint cites what the group says is extensive data analysis of police records that reveal Dallas' use of deadly force disproportionately falls on Black and Latino populations. According to an analysis by the group, independently confirmed by CBS News, 49% of Dallas police shootings involved Black residents between 2003 and 2017. In cases when the victim was unarmed, 59% of people shot by police were Black. In Dallas, 24% of the population is Black.  

The 19-page complaint also accuses Dallas police of a "half-century of unaccountable police brutality." From 1990 to 2021, according to police data referenced in the letter, Dallas police conducted internal investigations on more than 3,000 cases of alleged excessive force. Internal investigators determined officer wrongdoing in less than 200, or 6%, of those cases.  

The complaint references the case history of former officer Christopher Hess as an example of how activists say Dallas police officials have allowed officers' use of force to go unchecked. 

Hess had 42 misconduct complaints and had been investigated 10 times for using excessive force during 10 years with DPD. He remained on patrol until January 2017, when he shot and killed 21-year-old Genevive Dawes while checking on a call for a suspicious vehicle. 

Police body camera video from the shooting shows officers were unable to see inside the parked SUV because it was dark and the windows were fogged. Police said a license plate check indicated that the vehicle was stolen. After failing to respond to commands from officers, the driver, later identified as Dawes, turned it on and slowly backed up. Hess fired his weapon into the SUV 12 times.

After an internal investigation, Hess was fired six months later. He was indicted by a grand jury for aggravated assault by a public servant but was found not guilty in 2020. The I-Team reached out to the attorney who represented Hess in his criminal case but did not hear back.

The founders of Mothers Against Police Brutality, Collette Flanagan and John Fullinwider, signed the letter to the DOJ, along with a civil rights attorney and a civil rights researcher. [MORE]
