police abuse

Illinois police shot and killed a man who was taking photographs of schools Wednesday.
The man was also carrying an air gun and wearing homemade body armor.
However, there is no indication he ever pointed a gun at the Zion police officers.
The only thing police are saying is that they were responding to a report of a “suspicious person” taking photographs of two local schools.
When they approached him, the man then led them on a pursuit, according to news reports. They caught up to him and a struggle ensued.
Then they shot him dead.

To those of us that use critical thinking skills, it’s no secret that the corporate media lies. Mainstream media has, for years, been using their influence to sway elections, push products, and even help get murderers off. Well as long as those murderers are wearing badges, that is.
This “brainwash the masses” mindset  has created a rift in society that has spawned a new type of media. These citizen journalists have emerged as an “alternate” media that has gained tons of credibility by reporting the real stories with videos to back up claims of abuses.

The Texas state trooper who pulled Sandra Bland over last year, dragging her out of her car when she would not extinguish a cigarette, then throwing her in jail where she was later found dead, was indicted today for perjury, meaning he lied in his police report.

The Boynton Beach Police Department in South Florida is being sued amidst claims several of their officers brutally beat a man in August 2014 after a high speed chase.
The plaintiff, Byron Harris, alleges in the suit that he was severely beaten and that Boynton Beach Police Chief Jeffrey Katz wanted to get rid of the helicopter video that captured the beat down.
The lawsuit was filed this week. All charges against Harris were dismissed once prosecutors learned of the beating.

Back in September, an Alaska state trooper pulled over a newspaper reporter for the sole purpose of seizing his memory card from his camera.
The photographer, after all, had just taken photos of other troopers arresting a suspect in a shooting.
And that, apparently, was enough for Sergeant Michael Ingram to claim he needed the photos as “evidence.”

Standing on a public sidewalk on the side of the road, holding a sign warning drivers about an upcoming DUI police checkpoint, a Connecticut man was threatened with arrest Sunday, accused of “distracting the traffic.”
However, it was Hartford Police Sergeant Reggie Early who was blocking traffic with his patrol car as he threatened Michael Picard with arrest on a non-existent charge.
All because the 27-year-old man held a sign that said, “Cops ahead. Keep calm and remain silent.”
But at least he didn’t follow through on his threat.

A Hawaii man who was beaten by a cop on a beach for chanting next to a seal he believed to be injured filed a lawsuit last week.
The incident, which took place in 2014, was captured on video by witnesses who called the cops on the man, thinking he was harassing the seal.
But the man, Jamie Kalani Rice, said he was only trying to help the seal by sharing his mana or energy.
The video shows a Honolulu police officer named Ming Wang approaching Rice, exchanging some words and pulling out a baton to begin swinging it.

Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke pleaded not guilty to the 2014 murder of Laquan McDonald on Tuesday.
Although McDonald had a knife during the shooting, he was deviating away from Van Dyke, who was about 20 to 25 feet away.
The Chicago cop shot the young man 16 times in October 2014, but he was not even criminally charged until 13 months later.
And only because the dash cam video took 13 months to be released to the public.
Van Dyke was the only officer on scene to fire his gun.

A Florida mother fearing for her child’s safety called local police for a welfare check of her son who had made a noose, only to have the two responding Officer’s K-9s eat his face off.
The Florida K9 cop called for a welfare check on a suicidal teen foreshadowed the bloody mauling of Jared Lemay, texting his fellow North Port Police officer: “COME GET UR BITE.”

The Cleveland cop who killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice for playing with a pellet gun last year will not face criminal charges, an Ohio prosecutor announced Monday.
After all, said Cuyahoga County prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty, it was “indisputable” that Rice pulled the gun out of his waistband.
