All charges have been dropped against PINAC Correspondent Phillip Turner after a flood of phone calls and Facebook posts lighted up the Galveston Police Department in Texas last week.
Arthur Velazquez was riding his bike in Arizona when two police officers stopped him because he allegedly “fit the description” of a suspect due to the hoodie he was wearing.
As he was being questioned, Velazquez whipped out his cellphone to call his sister, Vanessa, because he felt unsafe around the officers who stopped him.
Mesa police ended up beating him, claiming they were in fear for their lives.
Local media reports that Pittsburgh’s Allegheny County Sheriffs have nothing better to do than investigate an NFL player for allegedly “taunting” one of their police dogs at a football game this past Sunday between the Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers in Heinz Field.
The report is so bizarre, that it sounds like the plot of an NFL Films blooper reel.
A mass media professor from one of the country’s most respected journalism schools delivered an embarrassing blow to the school’s reputation after threatening to have a journalist removed by force from a campus encampment where protesters had set up tents during an ongoing protest that led to the resignation of two top university officials Monday.
Talk about irony and hypocrisy at its finest.
College of DuPage student Jaclyn Pazera was on campus to hit the books and learn; but in a catastrophic turn of events, she was instead booked into the county jail on charges of trespassing, obstructing and resisting.
Now, she has filed a lawsuit against the Illinois college’s campus police, citing excessive force and civil rights violations. The campus police fall under the jurisdiction of the college. Reports show that Pazera’s wrists and shoulders were injured during her arrest.
Responding to a noise complaint, Alabama police entered an apartment filled with college students early Sunday morning and began pulling them out, striking them with batons and shooting them with tasers in a chaotic scene that did nothing to reduce the noise level.
At least two videos are now making the rounds on social media, one recorded from inside the apartment, another from outside.
The video recorded from inside the apartment begins with a cop holding on to a student’s wrist, trying to pull him outside while the students asks him to let go.
Two men had just crossed the street when they were rushed by several Austin police officers who shoved them against a wall, punching and kneeing them while telling them to stop resisting.
When asked what crime had the men committed, one of the cops looked up and said, “crossed against the light.”
Yes, that heinous crime of jaywalking, which is taken very serious in Austin as we learned last year when the city made international news after police beat up a jogger for jaywalking.
PINAC correspondent Phillip Turner was arrested Wednesday night for video recording a Fallen Officer memorial in front of the Galveston Police Department in Texas.
The arrest was captured by his friend, Dave, who was not arrested, even though he stood about 40 feet away recording the arrest.
The cops apparently did not realize the two were together, even though they both were carrying cameras.
Proving to be unstable, combative and petty, an FBI agent interjected himself in a family custodial dispute on behalf of his girlfriend and her estranged husband, who was two hours late in dropping off their baby.
But FBI Agent Gerald Rogero’s intrusive attempts at heroism led to him assaulting and threatening to shoot the 15-year-old son of the estranged husband’s girlfriend.
He then threatened the teen’s mother with arrest when she tried to intervene.
Claiming their precinct had come under recent terrorist threats and destructive acts of vandalism, a group of Milwaukee police officers surrounded a man standing outside their building with a camera, telling him they had the right to detain him for a warrant check for “safety reasons.”
“In light of things that have happened recently, it just kind of raises our suspicion,” said a cop who identified himself as “Officer Miller.”
“I have no malicious intent,” assured the videographer, who goes by Superrick568 on YouTube.
