That officer is completely unhinged, has no fucking humanity, should be nowhere near a badge or authority or firearms of any kind. Our law enforcement has become an animal brain fear aggression disease. This is uncalled for. That lunatic cop has no idea how to do his job. These stupid, aggressive maniacs have gotten away with this shit for too long. Defund the fucking police, fire these out of control thugs, jail them, and replace them with grown up, intelligent human beings who know what the fuck they are doing.

Yep. Assault is what the cops are supposed to protect us from, yet they regularly assault citizens with impunity.

That kind of red zone behavior seriously needs treatment, not be given power to harm others, and that treatment would typically be a long and dedicated process, not just a cop saying, "Sorry, won't do it again," because they most certainly will. It is well known from observation as well as research that red zone violence doesn't just stop because the person says they will while in a calm state. That behavior requires steady, repeated, intensive therapy for that person to gain control over their red zone brain and no longer be a threat to other people.

And to think this mental and behavioral illness is not only accepted among law enforcement agencies, but actively encouraged.
 
The NYTImes published an article today that has about 64 short videos of police brutality that happened during some of the protests during the last couple of months.. Hopefully, anyone interested can access the link. The police department denied that they did anything wrong, but these videos tell a very different story. It's good that NY City is decreasing its policing budget. Too many of these police are out of control. They. hit, kicked, and beat up what was often peaceful protesters, causing a variety of fractures and concussions.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/14/nyregion/nypd-george-floyd-protests.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

It was two hours after curfew on the sixth night of protests against police brutality in New York City.

An officer in Brooklyn pushed a protester so hard that she fell backward on the pavement. Then he shoved someone on a bicycle and picked up and body-slammed a third person into the street.

I watched some of these videos early this morning. Take a look.
 
Video Shows Cop Punching Homeless Man on Manhattan Subway. DA Vance Charges Rider With Assault - THE CITY
A police officer punched and dragged a homeless man who was allegedly taking up more than one seat on a near-empty subway train in Manhattan, body camera video from May shows.

But Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is charging the bloodied man with felony assault, punishable by up to seven years in prison, for allegedly kicking the officer’s hand while the cop tried to cuff him on the platform of the Midtown station.

Rosa Goldensohn on Twitter: "A homeless man left a crowded shelter the night of May 25 and sat on the train with a few tote bags. Cops told him to leave. Then: (links)" / Twitter

Scott Hechinger on Twitter: "The @ManhattanDA charged this man being punched in the face with violent felony assault on the cop. The claimed injury was the *swelling to cop’s fist.* Read that again. Take it in. Then read this: This happens routinely. Prosecutors are shameless enablers of police violence." / Twitter

Scott Hechinger on Twitter: "Taxpayers are paying NYPD $494 million this year to police transit. That money could instead pay rent for every single one of the 14,000 homeless families living in NYC for a full year at the median rent for NYC. And theyd still have $74 million leftover. We need to talk." / Twitter

Scott Hechinger on Twitter: "Also just out today: Analysis of dozens of videos of similarly brutal NYPD violence in NYT. Taxpayers paid out $300 million over last 5 years to settle NYPD violence/abuse lawsuits. NYPD paid NOTHING. We need to talk. https://t.co/Ur4eYqrYBw" / Twitter

N.Y.P.D. Says It Used Restraint During Protests. Here’s What the Videos Show. - The New York Times
All of it was caught on video. In fact, the New York Times found more than 60 videos that show the police using force on protesters during the first 10 days of demonstrations in the city after the death of George Floyd.

A review of the videos, shot by protesters and journalists, suggests that many of the police attacks, often led by high-ranking officers, were not warranted.

...
In instance after instance, the police are seen using force on people who do not appear to be resisting arrest or posing an immediate threat to anyone.

Officers attacked people who had their hands up.

They hit people who were walking away from them.

They grabbed people from behind.

And they repeatedly pummeled people who were already on the ground.

...
He noted that during the first few days of demonstrations, people looted businesses, burned police cars and attacked officers with bricks, bottles and in one case a fire extinguisher, prompting Mayor Bill de Blasio to impose an 8 p.m. curfew.

...
The police responded to words with punches and pepper spray.

Officers charged into peaceful crowds and pushed people to the ground.

Sometimes, they appeared to lash out at random.

...
Sometimes, the police went after people already in custody.

Sometimes officers went after people they did not appear interested in arresting at all.

In Manhattan on June 2, one commander shoved a protester and another pulled her down by the hair.

At several protests, the police used bicycles as weapons.

More often, they used their hands.

Charges have been dropped after the video was shown to the DA. Everyone please note, the homeless man was being charged with felony assault because the bastard cop claimed he had kicked him in the hand while being arrested and was injured ... the same hand he punched him with...

Remember everyone, cops lie all the time. And DAs don't care.

NEW REPORT: Violence Interruption Programs Provide Effective Alternative to Policing - The Justice Collaborative
A new report from The Justice Collaborative Institute and Data for Progress on the use of violence interruption programs to reduce violent crime in communities shows that taking a public health approach is cost-effective and can prevent violence. The report illuminates how non-law enforcement, community-led prevention strategies focusing on the people most likely to experience and to perpetrate gun violence achieve more than increasing the number of police in communities and doubling down on criminalization.

Scott Hechinger on Twitter: "Update: Only bc Rosa wrote about this & the video came out, @ManhattanDA agreed to drop the felony assault charge.

What's the full story though ? What was the reason for not complying with the officer ?


A 23-year-old Los Angeles police officer known as 'top shot' is being sued by the heartbroken 14-year-old daughter of a man she killed, after he appeared to lunge at the cop with a box cutter. Hernandez was involved in a multi-car accident and got out of his vehicle, but after refusing to listen to instructions to stand still, he was shot. Hernandez died at the scene and now his 14-year-old daughter is suing the LAPD. Teenager's lawyer claims the shooting was unjustified and the officer who pulled the trigger had 'reckless, violent and homicidal propensities'.

Fired Minneapolis police officer Chauvin and estranged wife face 9 felony tax charges

(CNN)The former Minneapolis police officer who was charged in George Floyd's death and his estranged wife face nine felony income-tax charges, according to the Washington County, Minnesota, attorney.

Derek Chauvin and his wife, Kellie, did not file income tax returns in the state for some years and underreported income for others, according to court records.
Each count carries a maximum five-year prison sentence and a fine of $10,000.

Derek's attorney had no comment on the charges, while Kellie's did not respond to CNN's emailed requests for comment.

The investigation began in June 2020 and involved the Minnesota Department of Revenue and Oakdale Police Department, Washington County Attorney Pete Orput said in a release.

The Chauvins did not file income tax returns in Minnesota from 2016 to 2018, and underreported income on their 2014, 2015 and 2019 returns, according to court records.

Army veteran says he was assaulted by Florence police while having a stroke

FLORENCE, Ala. (WAFF) - An Army veteran said he was mocked, laughed at, and denied medical aid by Florence city police officers while having a health emergency.

51-year-old Allen Hanvey said he had a stroke while driving and woke up to a nightmare of charges by the police. He has spent the last 19 months trying to piece together what happened that night.

He was scheduled to have neck surgery in November 2018. He had one more errand to run before he and his wife headed to Birmingham for the procedure. He said the last thing he remembers was waking up surrounded by police officers. Body camera footage is the only recollection he has from the encounter with cops.

Hanvey doesn’t remember much from Nov. 19, 2018.

“Tammy asked me what happened, and I said I have not one clue, but they hurt me, and they hurt me bad,” said Hanvey.

The Hanveys, along with a team of Vanderbilt neurologists, believe he slid off the road while having a stroke. Evidence suggest he might have been having a seizure as well.

As rabidly violent police get more and more out of hand, their bootlicking supporters only dig in deeper with the defending and excusing of abusers. Right wing authoritarian followers are a bunch of cowardly Jim Jordans, and the level of abuse of power we are seeing wouldn't be possible without them.

Yup, the police have a bad track record for mistaking medical incidents for bad behavior.
 
Hi everyone. Yet another reminder, cops are bastards. All of them.

Here's an article:

https://www.azcentral.com/story/new...tal-police-shooting-ryan-whitaker/5459142002/

Nees, who is several feet away from Whitaker at this point, asks the officer if he could handcuff her so she could be near her boyfriend.

After the officer says no, she asks if Ferragamo could check if Whitaker was OK.

"I'm leaning toward the fact that he's not," Ferragamo responds.

According to the police report, Cooke later that night told detectives that he shot Whitaker because he feared for his life. Ferragamo later tells another officer at the scene that he would have done the same, but didn't because Cooke did, according to the video footage and the police report.

‘If you can talk, you can breathe,’ Arkansas officer tells man who later dies in police custody

As he begged police to stop using a Taser on him on a supermarket’s floor, Lionel Morris’s cries echoed through the produce section of the store in Conway, Ark., for 6½ minutes.

Morris had run from officers on Feb. 4 and then placed one officer in a chokehold and tried to pulled out a knife, according to police, after the supermarket had reported him for removing a drone from its packaging. But as an officer had his knee on the 39-year-old’s back inside Harps Food Store, Morris, handcuffed and lying face down, repeatedly offered a succinct and familiar plea: “I can’t breathe.”

“If you can talk, you can breathe. Chill out,” replied the officer, according to body-cam footage released by the Conway Police Department on Wednesday. “We got an ambulance. "

Minutes later, Morris was “pulseless and unresponsive” when medical personnel arrived. He was pronounced dead while being transported to the hospital.

LAPD Officers Charged With Falsifying Gang Records Could Disrupt Over 750 Criminal Cases

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office is reviewing hundreds of criminal cases after criminal charges were filed against three LAPD officers accused of falsifying records about gang affiliation.

Braxton Shaw, 37, Michael Coblentz, 43, and Nicolas Martinez, 36, were charged in July with one count each of conspiracy to obstruct justice and multiple counts of filing a false police report and preparing false documentary evidence.

The officers were assigned at the time to the LAPD’s Metropolitan Division when they allegedly falsified field interview cards and misidentified dozens of people who were stopped by the officers as gang members.

Prosecutors say that some of the false information written in the cards was used to wrongfully enter people into California’s gang database.
