A jury acquitted Yousef Hafza, a veteran cop with 11 years in law enforcement, for the murder of Clarence Howard. Hafza shot Howard in an apparent case of road rage, and the jury decided to side with the cop despite the evidence against him. Howard was not the driver of the vehicle involved in the road rage incident and was merely an innocent passenger. The jury found Hafza not guilty of second-degree murder for killing Howard as the unarmed man reportedly ran away from him. It took years for the details to emerge, however, and prosecutors laid out the case clearly during the trial. The verdict was returned in a Florida court on Tuesday trial will continue.  The victim's family is asking for their family to be compensated for the loss of their loved ones, as well as for the costs of the prosecution's investigation. The shooting occurred in Palm Bay, Florida, and was caught up in a series of high-profile police shootings that have occurred in the area in recent years, including

Officer William Skelton was secretly indicted by a grand jury in November. He resigned before his administrative hearing to avoid accountability, but his past caught up with him. Only two of 120 excessive force complaints were sent to the attorney general's office for criminal prosecution. Only one officer was shown to be terminated. We didn't find that a single officer was criminally charged during that time and that officer was unaware he'd done anything wrong. He appears to have a history of trespassing and vandalism related to a mental illness and that night, he had trespassed and made a mess inside a local Shell station. When police showed up, Thomas didn't run or resist in any way. "Come on. You're under arrest, " he told them. "I am going home," said Thomas. He appeared to be committing a crime in January 2019, and Thomas admitted to having a history of trespass and vandalism. That's when he got angry, and that's when Skelton got a

Body camera video released this week shows the extent to which police will go to justify their existence in the war on drugs — up to and including desecrating the remains of a little girl. In 2019, Dartavius Barnes, the father of Ta'Naja Barnes, experienced every parent's worst nightmare when he found his daughter unresponsive in her home. She would later be pronounced dead in a Decatur hospital and an autopsy would reveal she was murdered. Ta'Naja's mother and her mother's boyfriend would later be arrested on murder charges over her death. Ta'Naja was later cremated and Barnes remembered his daughter by carrying around her ashes with him in a micro urn. Because the state is a soulless machine that knows no limit to destruction and terror when carrying out the arbitrary war on drugs, Barnes' daughter's remains would be desecrated by police. According to a recent lawsuit filed by Barnes against the City of Springfield, he was unlawfully detained on April

In one of the worst cases of government incompetence we've seen, an elderly couple is being extorted by the city over traffic infractions they didn't commit. Their car was stolen and used to commit multiple crimes and despite the fact that they have proof in the form of a police report, the city says they are still liable for the crimes committed by the ones who stole their vehicle. Doug Nelson, 73, is a Vietnam veteran who has never been in trouble with the law before. Last November, after arriving home from his job at the U.S. Postal Service, two thugs came up to him with guns and demanded his car. However, after getting back their car, they began getting red light camera tickets in the mail because the criminals who carjacked them went on a dangerous joy ride, racking up over $2,000 in fines. Again, they were wrong. Nancy said she then sent them a police report the second time, proving the car was stolen an hour before the first citation was ever issued. "Only for the g

Izell Richardson, 67, accidentally locked himself out of his home and had to break a window to get back in. His sister, who lives in the home, didn't realize it was her brother trying to get in, so, she called the police. Richardson was in his underwear and was not breaking into his own home. He was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police cruiser. Richardson screamed for help as the officer threatened him with a taser and repeatedly hit him with it.

Officer Garrett Rolfe is back on the police force after being fired for shooting a fleeing man in the back. The Atlanta Civil Service Board ruled that the city did not give him the right to due process. The death of 27-year-old George Brooks has already caused a massive backlash in the city. The other officer involved in the encounter, Devin Brosnan, has been charged with aggravated assault and violating his oath. Both officers are free on bond and their lawyers have said their clients acted appropriately in the incident. The decision will likely cause further outrage in the Atlanta community, which is already on edge after the death of George Floyd, a black man who fell asleep in the drive-thru of a Wendy's restaurant in July. The officer who shot Brooks was fired the next day and is currently facing murder charges for his actions. The city's mayor said firing the officer was the "right thing to do" in a statement Wednesday. Atlanta police responded to a call of a

Eric Derrell Smith, 30, was killed after a police chase ended in Biloxi, Mississippi. He was wanted in connection with the deaths of Christin Parker, 32, and her nephew Brandon Parker, 26, in Baker, Louisiana. Police say Smith kidnapped his infant son from the home and fled but was cornered by police. After a brief standoff, police opened fire on Smith and his son, killing them both. Smith did fire a shot during the chase but it was later revealed it was an hour before the pursuit ended. No officers were injured. The infant died of injuries sustained in the shootout. The mother was able to identify Smith as the suspected murderer after he fled the scene and her daughter told police what she had seen in the home where her aunt and nephew were shot to death. Smith had been in a relationship with the victim and they had recently gone through a breakup, according to police, and he had kidnapped his son after the two were killed in the house. The victim's daughter was also at the home

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 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

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
