Taxpayers will be held accountable after cops break an innocent grandmother's arm during a raid.

Ruby Jones, 74, was assaulted by police when they came to her home to arrest her mentally ill grandson for calling in a bomb threat. The Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, police force will be held liable for the actions of three officers who assaulted the elderly woman. The taxpayers of Oklahoma City will be liable because the officers were incompetent when it comes to de-escalation and common decency. The incident happened back in August, but police didn't release the body camera footage until this year. The officers either used excessive force against Jones or failed to intervene in her assault to stop it, according to a lawsuit filed by Jones. "My arm, sir," Jones said is heard saying in the video. "I don't know that ma'am," an officer said. "Well, I do," Jones responded. " well, I did," the officer said in response to Jones' request for help. "He's bipolar. He's bipolar," Jones told KOCO 5 News she tried to help the o

Good cop, after she was fired to save bad cop from defeating man with handcuffs

Cariol Horne was fired from the Buffalo Police Department in 2006 after she stopped a fellow officer from choking a handcuffed suspect. Horne has been fighting for 15 years to get her pension. On Tuesday, a state judge vacated an earlier ruling that affirmed her firing. The decision was prompted by the police killing of George Floyd, who was shot and killed by police in 2020. The city of Buffalo is now considering a law that would force officers to intervene if they see another officer using excessive force. It's unclear how many days Horne would need to work to regain her pension, however. "My vindication comes at a 15-year cost, but what has been gained can not be measured," Horne said after the ruling. "I never wanted another police officer to go through what I had gone through to do the right thing," she told the NY Times. The judge ruled that Horne would get her back pay and benefits, and granted her the back pay she had been denied.  Buffalo, New York, pol

Police shoot and kill an unarmed man after a traffic stop for ‘air fresheners,' claiming it was an accident.

20-year-old Daunte Wright was pulled over by police over an alleged expired tag. Officer Kim Potter, a 26-year veteran of the department, pulled out her gun and put a bullet in Wright's chest. The medical examiner concluded that Wright "died of a gunshot wound of the chest and manner of death is homicide" Police are attempting to downplay the homicide by claiming the officer who killed Wright, though she thought she grabbed her taser instead of her gun. "It is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their Taser but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet," Chief Tim Gannon, Chief of the Brooklyn Center Police Department said. The police department is claiming it was an accident, Gannon said, and that Wright's mother heard a scuffle and an officer telling her son not to run, and then the call dropped off.  "He said they pulled him over because he had air fresheners hanging from his rearview mirror," his mother said. The officer

Cops assault an unarmed Lieutenant and threaten to charge him if he complains about being beaten.

Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario was on his way home from a long day of work at his duty station last December when he was targeted by some very bad apples for revenue collection. Windsor police officers Daniel Crocker and Joe Gutierrez falsely accused Nazario of having no license plate and then targeted him for a traffic stop. Nazario had just purchased the vehicle and the temporary plate was clearly visible in the back window of Nazario's SUV. Police beat down Nazario, made references to executing him (riding the lightning), and pepper-sprayed him without reason. The officers told Nazario that if he complained about the way they treated him, they would bring charges against him. "This is racism. It's about police dominance and humiliation of a black man because he asked questions and 'didn't comply,'" political figure and activist Julian Castro said of the treatment of the US Army soldier by police. The officers then told him that they had pulled him over

Children were kept at gunpoint, and a tiny teen girl was yanked from her car by her hair during a minor traffic stop.

What should  be  a warning to  a brand new  teen driver who just made her first poor decision behind the wheel morphed into an assault with nearly deadly results after cops treated  a gaggle  of small kids like hardened criminals? In February, 17-year-old Maliyah Clary had permission to be driving her mother’s car and had the permit  to try and do  so. However, she allegedly made  some  driving errors  a pair  of blocks  aloof from  her house so officers with the River Rouge  department of local government  targeted her for a traffic stop. Body camera footage released  on  shows what happens when a cop’s only tool  could be a  hammer — everything, even 105-pound children — begins  to seem   sort of a  nail. It was a routine traffic stop that morphed into a use of force incident after the officers became unreasonably  terrified of  three teenage girls in their mother’s car.  rather than  simply allowing the girl  to travel  get her mother, who was just two blocks away, the officers deci

Cops were called to a school bus after a 7-year-old autistic boy with a medical exception removed his mask.

Across  the planet , governments are using their only tool — which is force, or the threat of —  in a very  futile  try to  fight COVID-19. Because  the govt   doesn't  act on logic and reason and instead makes knee-jerk reactionary measures  that nearly  always end in loss of freedom, the citizens are growing weary of their actions. Children, who  don't  understand the complexity of such arbitrary dictates are hit  the toughest  when it  involves  issues like mandatory masks. For  people who   are   listening , the “experts” on the coronavirus  are   the entire  opposite of consistent when it  involves  advising Americans on  the way to  react to the pandemic. Since the lockdowns began in March 2020, hypocrisy has been at the forefront and masks are on  the most  stage. Despite little to no evidence of masks having  sway  on childhood COVID-19 transmission, schools across the country  still  force them to mask up  at college  — even outside on the playground. Children with aut

Taxpayers will be held liable if a cop kills a pregnant woman on the ground while pleading, "I'm Pregnant."

A tragedy unfolded in 2019 in Houston, Texas when a Baytown  law officer  approached  a lady , 44-year-old Pamela Turner, and killed her. Turner’s last words before she was shot five times by the officer were “I’m pregnant.” Now, nearly two years later, the family has filed a  death  lawsuit against the  town   and also the  officer in  judicature . Today, April 8, would  are  Turner’s 46th birthday. Turner’s mother, Tamika Palmer has asked everyone to share the video of her daughter’s death  so  justice  could also be  served. Turner’s death was so egregious, Baytown officer Juan Delacruz was indicted last year on charges of  assault . The officer’s attorney maintains his client acted in self-defense after fearing for his life. But  once we  see the video  and therefore the  facts of the case, this claim becomes laughable. At the time of her death, Turner was reportedly  fighting   psychopathy , however, her neighbors and family said she was peaceful and kept to herself, which is why
