Cops accuse an innocent sleeping 13-year-old boy of car theft and force him to be mauled by a K-9.

A 13-year-old boy was asleep in the backyard when he was attacked by a police K-9. The boy was wrongly accused of being involved in car theft. The Cedar Rapids police department was slapped with a lawsuit this week by the boy's mother. The attack unfolded on August 12, 2020, and was captured on police body cameras. The lawsuit asserts excessive force was used by officers involved in the arrest, as well as K- 9 officer Nathan Trimble and his canine partner, and that there was negligence in police canine training and racial discrimination that amounted to reckless disregard for the rights and safety of others, including the boy, according to the lawsuit. The police department said they were pursuing a suspect in a stolen vehicle investigation who may have been armed. The suspect was eventually captured, however, as they searched for him, officers came upon the boy and the dog mauled his arm, despite the fact that he was unarmed and posed no threat to the dog. "I grabbed ahold o

Amber Guyger's appeal begins, when a murdering cop claims "self-defense" in the killing of Botham Jean.

Amber Guyger was found guilty of murder in the death of Botham Jean in March. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Her lawyers have appealed, saying there was insufficient evidence to prove she committed murder. Her attorneys say she acted in self-defense and that the evidence was insufficient to prove her guilt. If she wins, Guyger could be freed later this year. The judge gave her a hug before she was taken off to jail and told her, "you can have mine. I have three or four more at home." She was fired from the police department nearly 3 weeks after the shooting and was fired for her actions three weeks later, when she shot Jean in his own apartment, killing him. The jury found Guyger guilty of manslaughter, not murder and sentenced her to just 10 years, but she was granted an appeal. The appeal was granted in spite of the fact that all sides of Guyger entering Jean's apartment and killing him were accepted by all sides, despite the fact she was unarmed and it was cl

Cops Are Captured by a Woman Putting a GPS tracker on a car and then removing it—the cops then demand it be returned.

A Louisiana woman found a tracking device on her car and removed it, not knowing what it was. Police put it there after arresting her on drug charges. A local NAACP president contacted the police, who demanded the tracking device be returned. Police refused to produce the device, saying they had a warrant for the device. Such devices are illegal for civilians to use in Louisiana, but legal for law enforcement in some circumstances.  "I didn't know if it was a bomb, but then I did find out it was a tracker," the woman said. Police: "This is part of an ongoing investigation involving Ms. Beverly and a suspect with federal warrants"  A warrant was obtained for the surveillance equipment, according to police, but they didn't provide it to the woman when asked to. The NAACP president said police asked him to contact the police on the woman's behalf. The device had been placed by the Warrick County Sheriff's Office, who suspected the woman of being a drug

What It's Like to Ride a Bicycle in a Police State Because Melanin Is Present

Two melanin men were assaulted with deadly weapons, forced to crawl on the ground, and nearly shot by police. One of the men, who goes by the handle Riskie_e on Tik-Tok, happened to be filming with his Go-Pro camera at the time of the stop. The two young men were wearing Go-Pros, holding grocery bags, riding expensive bicycles with highly reflective gear and neon lights. "You fit the description," one of the cops can be heard saying in the video. "We ain't do nothing," Riskie yelled. "I'm saying you got your guns drawn and we ain't done nothing." The two men were told why they were being held at gunpoint and humiliated by cops. The video has since gone viral and received more than 1 million views on YouTube. The men were stopped by a police cruiser parked in front of their home after robbing a couple earlier that night. The police officer accused the pair of robbing a couple of robbing couples earlier that day. A young man riding his bike in S

Knoxville, Tennessee, DA releases body camera footage of school shootings. Anthony Thompson Jr., 17, was shot and killed by a police officer in April. DA Charme Allen says it was "reasonable" for officer Clabough to feel his life was in danger. The DA says the use of force was justified and the officers involved will not face charges. The school and police officers involved have all been cleared of any wrongdoing, Allen says. The shooting occurred in the school bathroom where Thompson was found with a gun. The two officers involved in the shooting will not be charged, the DA said Wednesday night.  The full investigation will be aired on CNN at 10 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 13. Ahead of the show, com will share the bodycam footage from the school shooting with you.

Chauvin was just the eighth cop convicted of murder since 2005, thanks to a system that encourages killer cops.

Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted on all three charges against him in the killing of George Floyd. Since 2005, American cops have killed over 15,000 citizens while on duty. Of the 1,127 people killed by police in 2020, only 277 of them were suspected of a violent offense. The majority of police killings involve calls in which there was no crime or the suspect was only suspected of non-violent offenses. The cops who killed Elijah McClain, Andrew Finch, Kameron Prescott, Daniel Shaver, Charles Roundtree Jr., Stephon Clark, and countless other completely innocent individuals — all got away with it. This is not okay. The verdict is a major victory for police accountability activists and people were literally crying with joy in the streets of Minneapolis. It's just one battle in a war Americans have been losing for decades. The fight for justice will continue to be a long, long way from a victory for justice for all Americans and police accountability is a long way to go, as this verd

Cops Innocent Cup children, Steal bikes, 'Bicycle License Arrest Them Over Stop'

Perth Amboy, New Jersey swarmed by cops for not having a "license tag" on their bicycles. The city of Perth Amboy is a tyranny thanks to greedy politicians and proponents of the police state. Citizens who wish to ride a bicycle — even children — must pay them a fee every year for the privilege of peddling. If you fail to follow the legislation to the 'T', police and government claim the authority to steal your bicycle, extort, and even kidnap and cage you. The court may, in addition to the penalty provided herein, suspend or revoke any license issued under this chapter. Any bicycle being operated or propelled in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, upon the personal observation of a law enforcement officer, is subject to immediate confiscation, according to the law. The law is ridiculous. It should be made illegal to ask the chief of police for permission to ride their own bicycles and provided further. A group of melanin teens biking through the town
