An unarmed father is executed by a cop who kicked through his door.

Image
Johnny Bolton, a father of two, had committed no crime and was not sought by police on the night he died. However, as a result of the state's heartless destruction of all individuals who cross its path, Bolton became collateral damage - killed by the drug war's enforcers — while sleeping on a couch. The Smyrna County district attorney has subsequently recommended charging Samuel Daniel, the sheriff's officer who murdered Bolton that morning. After hearing evidence from a GBI agent, the medical examiner, camera video, witness comments, and pictures, a grand jury concluded last month that Daniel's use of force was not warranted in the least. "It is regular policy for the District Attorney's Office to refer all officer-involved shooting events to a grand jury. If the grand jury recommends further action, more investigation will be conducted to decide which charges, if any, should be sent to a future grand jury. Regarding the officer-involved shooting of Johnny Bol

Cops Fire 25 Rounds Into Innocent Crowd at Football Game, Killing an 8-Year-Old Little Girl and Shooting Her Family

Image
When Fanta Bility, 8, and her family went to a high school football game in August, they had no idea their greatest dread would come true that night. Unfortunately, according to a complaint filed this week, that is precisely what occurred as a result of a bunch of trigger-happy police officers employing excessive force. As Fanta and her family exited the game that night, police opened fire on their party, fatally shooting Fanta and injuring numerous others, including her elder sister. Two months have passed since tiny Fanta breathed her death and no one has been accused. The family is no longer wasting time and has chosen to pursue legal action. Attorney Bruce L. Castor filed a complaint against the borough of Sharon Hill and the police officers who opened fire on Tuesday, citing excessive force and insufficient training. According to Castor, the girl's family is seeking "answers and compensation for the terrible and senseless death... as well as the injuries and anguish impos

Cops Mistake Man’s Severe Autism for ‘Resisting’, Taser Him in His Head, Sending Him to Hospital

Louis Grahai, a twenty-year-old with severe autism and the mental ability of a four-year-old, is renowned in his community as a kind and loving guy who has never harmed anybody. However, when he strayed too far from his house last weekend, those neighbours were unfamiliar with him, and his towering height and peculiar conduct prompted a 911 call and subsequent excessive force incident by the Eustis police department. "Everyone adores Lou." "He's lovely, and everyone knows he's not going to do anything bad," his mother, Roberta Crew, said. According to Police Chief Craig Capri, "the perfect storm" occurred last Saturday when Grahai allegedly became disoriented in another area and attempted to enter a residence that was not his. The resident was understandably concerned and called 911 to report the event. "I'm not sure he was smashing it... "However, I heard the door handle sway," she said to authorities. When police arrived on the

Victims of police brutality would get N102 million from Delta State.

  Following the acceptance of the findings of a judicial panel of inquiry into recorded instances of police brutality in the state, the Delta State government has announced that it would pay a total of N102, 450, 000 to victims of police brutality. January a statement made only hours before the first anniversary of the #ENDSARS demonstrations that erupted throughout the nation in 2020, the Delta State government announced that a unit of the Nigeria Police called the Special Anti-Robbery Squad will be disbanded effective immediately (SARS). Chief Patrick Ukah, Secretary to the Delta State Government (SSG), made the announcement at an Asaba press conference. Ukah said that the decision to alleviate the suffering of some of the victims was made after the findings of the judicial panel of inquiry was taken into account. Asaba and Warri were the sites of public hearings for the judicial panel, which was launched by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in October 2020 after receiving a total of 86 petitio

3 Teens Attack an Innocent Woman Before a Deputy Arrives and Beats Her More

Shantel Arnold is still recuperating from a traumatic event that left lasting scars on her body and psyche. An officer from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office can be seen pounding the 4-foot-8-inch tall, 100-pound lady about like an animal. ProPublica reported that on September 20, Arnold, 34, was assaulted by three youths as she went down the street near her family's house. Arnold's family told ProPublica that she was a target for bullies because she was tiny and had lost her left eye in a car accident years before. The lads assaulted Arnold for many minutes, until 71-year-old Lionel Gray, whom Arnold considers her stepfather, intervened and chased the youngsters away. A JPSO deputy arrived on the scene seconds after she was assaulted and started interrogating her from his police vehicle. Instead of helping the young lady assaulted by three bullies, the deputy started questioning and berating her. “I'm home.” I don't get to the block before the cops surround me

Cops drag paraplegic father out of car, attack him over window tint

Image
Clifford Owensby of Dayton, Ohio, recently discovered the brutal and repressive extent to which the American police state would go to enforce window tint extortion regulations, as the PBWW website revealed last week. Owensby, who had done no crime, was singled out by police, beaten, and then escorted away due to the arbitrarily dark tint on his window tint. Over the weekend, police revealed body camera video demonstrating exactly how violent officers are prepared to be over the blackness of a man's windows — his skin as well. Though the cellphone video was terrible enough, independent media outlets covering the issue last week are now forced to report it this week because of the body camera footage. It is really revolting. Owensby's horror began last month when he was out doing errands with his grandson. While Owensby was driving along the street, causing no damage, he was targeted by police for extortion due to his window tint being set at 20%. Both body camera and smartphone

Cop Slams His Pistol Into the Head of a Surrendered Unarmed Teen—No Shots Fired or Charged

Image
This week, a Connecticut policeman was given a slap on the wrist after footage emerged of him striking a youngster in the head with his gun for apparently no reason. The teen's arms were in the air and he was listening to police instructions at the moment the officer hit him. According to the CTPost, Acting Police Chief Rebeca Garcia suspended Officer Gianni Capozziello for just 20 days after an inquiry by the city's Office of Internal Affairs, which determined he violated the Police Department's policy against excessive use of force. Naturally, Bridgeport Police Union President Sgt. Brad Seely said that his group thinks Capozziello's sentence is disproportionate and intends to file a grievance on his behalf. "The Bridgeport Police Union feels that Officer Capozziello received disproportionate punishment. We will submit a grievance on his behalf and proceed in accordance with the law," said Sgt. Brad Seely, president of the Bridgeport Police Union, AFSCME Loca

Benue Police Brutality Investigation Committee — Victims to be compensated N304.5m

Image
The Committee on Investigation of Brutality by Former Members of the Disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, which was established by Benue State Executive Governor, Samuel Ortom, delivered its findings today at the People's House Makurdi. The panel was established in October 2020 in response to massive damage, theft of government and private property, and the loss of many lives during national "No to SARS" (nSARS) demonstrations. Gov Samuel Ortom, who was represented by his deputy, Engr Benson Abounu, reacted to the report by assuring the public that the recommendations would be implemented in their entirety to serve as a deterrent against future occurrences. He expressed gratitude for the committee members' efforts and wished them success in their future undertakings. Earlier in his speech, Justice Adah Onum, the panel's chairman and immediate past Chief Justice of the state, stated that the committee discovered the following brutalities committed by members

How Lagos Police unlawfully held a 17-year-old OAU student for 20 days

*We determined that he had been abducted, his mother adds. A year after #EndSARS demonstrations in major Nigerian towns, police violence continues to be a daily occurrence in the lives of young people in Africa's largest economy. For Oluwaferanmi Moses, a first-year student at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) studying Mechanical Engineering, his experience in police detention from September 19 to October 8 was similar to that of many other young Nigerians who have been unjustly profiled and brutalised by police personnel. Moses was apprehended at Mushin on his way to his workshop, where he fixes vehicles during the vacations, by personnel from the Lagos State police force assigned to Zone B command. "That Sunday morning, I went to Festac to inspect a Range Rover. I had finished with my job on the Range; just a few tasks remained," Moses said. "I needed to return to my business in Mushin to get some tools to finish the job. I was unaware that a battle was taking o

Cops handcuff, body slam, and stomp an innocent man at a park

Jermaine Vaughn had done no wrong and committed no crime on the day he was assaulted by cops. Even the police acknowledge in their probable cause affidavit that Vaughn was merely "speaking/yelling to no one in particular" at a park on Sept. 24, but he was arrested and brutally abused — with a boot, stamping on his face — while he lay powerless on the ground. Because Vaughn's police assault was recorded on body camera and plainly demonstrated a mindless beating, one of the officers involved has been arrested for stomping on Vaughn's face while he was on the ground in handcuffs. This week, a graphic body camera video was revealed of the event that resulted in charges being filed against Sergeant Eric Huxley. It is nothing less than a heinous assault on an innocent guy for "speaking." As the video demonstrates, despite the fact that Vaughn is handcuffed, bike officer Matthew Shores is flinging him about like a ragdoll. He then takes the guy by the neck and slam

Woman Disappeared for Two Weeks, Discovered Dead in a Police Van in the Department's Parking Lot—Family Demands Video

Image
If you're searching for a parking lot or structure with the most security cameras, a police station is probably the best place to start. Numerous cameras are almost certainly stationed surrounding each police station, recording both the structure and the parking area. Christina Nance's family is requesting this video evidence from police after she was discovered dead in the back of a Huntsville police vehicle parked in the middle of their parking lot. Police have not yet released surveillance footage demonstrating when the vehicle was parked there or how Nance, 29, wound up in the back. "She was a really upbeat, fun-loving, and kind person, and she was very lovely," Christina's sister, Whitney Nance, told WAFF. "She was a joy to be around, very lovely and innocent," Christina's cousin Amanda Mastin said. "I just glanced back at her and she was just smiling," Christina's other sister, Latausha Nance, said. "And I remarked to Christi

A school cop CHOKEHOLDS a 5-year-old special-needs boy for singing in class.

Image
The taxpayers of Fairfax, Virginia, were informed this week that they would be required to pay tens of thousands of dollars to compensate a school resource officer who lost control of his emotions and assaulted a 5-year-old little child – for singing in Spanish class. Pamela Ononiwu, a 37-year-old mother of three, recently resolved a lawsuit against Fairfax County Public Schools for her son's horrific abuse while in their care. Ononiwu's horror began on Oct. 3, 2018, when she went to pick up her son, DO, to take him to a dental appointment. Ononiwu could hear her kid crying in pain as she approached the principal's office to take him up. He was being assaulted by a policeman — or, more precisely, he was being held in a chokehold. "To my surprise and dismay, I discovered my kid in a chokehold," Ononiwu stated. "He was being held at a 90-degree angle by this school resource officer. My kid continued trying to free himself, and the tighter the hold became."

Cops assault paraplegic father over window tinting, accusing him of being unable to exit his car.

Image
It's possible to alter your mind about traffic rules and window tinting. Because your window tint is too dark, the cops may demand money from you in the land of the free. Police will abduct or murder you if you refuse to pay the extortion. This happens so often in the land of the free that it is routinely recorded on camera. As seen in the video below, frightening police would use lethal force to halt a car for window tint, even against persons in wheelchairs, if they feel threatened. The American police state will go to any extent to enforce window tint extortion rules, Clifford Owensby of Dayton, Ohio, recently discovered. Unlawful window tinting caused Owensby to be targeted by cops and attacked. Last Friday, Owensby and his grandson were out doing errands when his nightmare began. Police tried to extort Owensby as he drove down the street, hurting no one. Both the body camera and the smartphone recorded the encounter. In the footage, an officer approaches the father's car a

Constables Arrest and Assault Man Having a Seizure, Taxpayers Held Liable

After the 2014 murder of Eric Garner, the phrase “I can't breathe” has become a frightening emblem for state-sanctioned brutality. According to the PBWW website, many calm and innocent individuals have said such words moments before police officers squeezed their last breath. George Floyd's final words were "I can't breathe." Many more victims of police brutality have managed to utter those words shortly before dying since his death, according to the PBWW website. “If you can speak, you can breathe!” police say as they choke detainees. Sadly, this policy is nearly always incorrect. He pleaded for his life as several deputies climbed on top of him due to a medical emergency. Now Forsyth County taxpayers will be held responsible for the cops' cruel acts. He was refused the use of an inhaler for his asthma and authorities disregarded repeated indications that he was in medical distress, according to the complaint filed last week.

In front of his children, cops open fire on an unarmed father.

Image
The Mesa police department, whose officers are known for employing excessive and often lethal force against unarmed people, has been in the headlines this week due to numerous lawsuits alleging that same behaviour. Benjamin Taylor, a civil rights attorney, is presently suing the department for excessive force in two instances, including one in which police opened fire on an unarmed father with his hands up, surrounded by his five children. Lorenzo Jones, the father, had just handed over his youngest kid to the child's mother when cops opened fire. "Once they put their hands up and surrender to law enforcement authorities, they cease to be a danger, and therefore should not be shot or killed," Taylor told ABC 15 this week. To be clear, Jones is accused of assaulting a lady and a kid and, if found guilty, deserves to face the consequences. The police were called to the home that day after Jones reportedly struck his fiancée's sister in the face at least three times, for
