Secret Body Cam Shows Cops Using His Flashlight to Break a Man's Jaw, Ribs, Arm, and Skull

Image
The Louisiana State Police kept a video of one of their officers attempting to murder a guy with his flashlight hidden for two years. That footage was published this week, and we now understand why they didn't want it to see the light of day. Aaron Larry Bowman had not committed a crime on that tragic night in May 2019 and was merely suspected of "improper lane use" before being battered almost to death. Bowman made no effort to escape or fight arrest, but he was dragged from his vehicle by cops and thrown to the ground. While police were handcuffing him — allegedly for a traffic violation — Trooper Jacob Brown spotted an opportunity to inflict deadly violence and pulled up to the scene, jumping out of his car because he "was in the area and was attempting to get involved," according to a recent investigation into the violent trooper. Brown leapt on top of Bowman and unleashed his wrath, armed with an 8-inch aluminum flashlight strengthened with a pointed end de

Nigerian Security Forces Pursue Peaceful Protesters While Criminals Escape With Their Crimes.

Nigeria has seen an increase in security problems over the past two years — numerous terrorist attacks, inter-ethnic conflicts, abduction, and assaults on people and government facilities by purported secessionists have all pushed the nation and its inhabitants to the brink. Concerned about the country's deteriorating security situation, state governors established regional security outfits – Amotekun in the Southwest, Ebube Agu in the Southeast, and Shege-Ka-Fasa by the Coalition of Northern Group – to assist the government's security agencies in combating these criminals. However, the country's instability seems to be overwhelming security authorities, as new assaults are being reported daily. Despite this, the government, via its institutions, seems more intent on crushing Nigerians demonstrating against insecurity, poor administration, and deteriorating living conditions throughout the nation than on prosecuting criminals. Between August 2019 and June 2021, several orga

Accused cops attack and knockdown an innocent mother, then fabricate lies to justify their actions — lawsuit

Image
  Nakia Porter had committed no crime the night she was beaten and abused by officers from the Solano County Sheriff's Office. Porter, a professional software engineer and mother of two without a criminal record, had stopped off the highway to change drivers during a journey with her father and children, but would never return to the highway. Rather than that, Porter would be assaulted, rendered unconscious, and abducted, all while her father was arrested and thrown into the back of a police car. Despite the fact that they were aware they were being filmed by their body cameras, deputies continued to fabricate a fake narrative to justify their assault and subsequent arrest of an innocent mother of three. Porter and her father, Joe Powell, are now suing and will almost certainly win. The event occurred on August 6, 2020, when the family was driving home to Orangevale, northeast of Sacramento, after a vacation to Oakland. In the rear seat sat her two children, ages 3 and 6, and a 4-y

Nigerian Press Freedom Is in Danger of Being Extinguished

Koo, Twitter's Indian competitor, has just started advertising to Nigerians, backed by a strong brand ambassador: President Muhammadu Buhari. The endorsement comes more than two months after Buhari banned Twitter in Nigeria in reaction to the social media firm removing a provocative post from Buhari threatening violence against followers of a southeast separatist movement. The endorsement of certain media businesses is the latest step in the government's continuous campaign to stifle free speech. The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Nigeria's media regulating authority, sent a letter to Nigerian broadcast stations last month directing them to minimize the country's deteriorating security situation, especially the danger posed by Boko Haram and banditry. NBC defended its stance by claiming that reporting on these problems has a propensity to incite more violence. This argument would be plausible if the government had not been gradually eroding free speech rights.

The COVID-19 vaccine is required by a judge, or else the man will be arrested and charged.

Brandon Rutherford was recently confronted in an Ohio courtroom with a choice: get vaccinated or risk prison. On August 4, Judge Christopher Wagner of Hamilton County, Ohio sentenced the 21-year-old to two years probation for fentanyl possession. However, his punishment came with a twist: he was required to get a COVID vaccination as a condition of his probation. If Rutherford does not cooperate, he faces up to 18 months in prison. “I'm not a doctor, but I believe the vaccination is much safer than the fentanyl you had in your pocket,” Wagner told Rutherford. Wagner offered Rutherford 60 days to be vaccinated and said, "You're going to keep your job." You will not be in the presence of a weapon. I'm going to order you to obtain a vaccination within the next two months and bring it to the probation office." The judge discovered Rutherford's vaccination status only after questioning him when he appeared in court wearing a mask—a policy Wagner instituted for

How the Lagos Police Department extorted N40,000 from Ekwueme Varsity students on their way to board a plane to return to school in Nigeria

Students of the Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ikwo, Ebonyi State, Michael Ekene Okonkwo, and Udo Chukwu Maduforo, have described how some police officers assigned to the Airport Command, Ikeja, Lagos, extorted N40,000 from them when they were on their way to catch a plane back to school. According to reports, the students were in a taxi on their way to the local wing on Saturday morning when their car was stopped by a squad of police officers in front of the Golden Tulip Hotel, which is located along Airport Road at around 11 a.m. Vanguard reported that the students said that the police searched them and did not discover anything damning throughout the investigation. They begged the police officers to enable them to take their flight to school and handed them their identity cards, but their pleadings went unheard by the officers. “They harassed us and delayed us without informing us of the nature of our offense. it was discovered that there was nothing incriminating in our belonging

Awful Video Documents Two Male Cops and One Female Cop Tasering and Forcibly Stripping a Disabled Woman

Image
Ariel Harrison, aged 31, was dragged into a concrete room and zapped with a taser as a guy kneeled down on her and assisted a female in stripping her nude in October 2019. Another man with a pistol stood over her, watching, before joining in on the cruel assault and ripping her panties off. This horrific sexual assault was caught on camera, yet none of the offenders were arrested – because they were police. Harrison's ordeal began in October 2019 when she was pulled over for a DUI stop. Harrison, who is legally blind in one eye, was detained and transported to the Macomb Police Department without being subjected to a field sobriety test. Harrison says she was tasered several times during the stop, forcing her to pass out and awaken in a prison cell. According to Harrison's counsel, no breathalyzer or field sobriety tests were administered at the scene, during her arrest, or during her detention. “They didn't explain anything to me when they pulled me over; they simply yanke
