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

Two cops restrain a man while a dog mauls him.

A report of a man allegedly trespassing resulted in a brutal assault by a police dog, prompting an inquiry against three Woodson Terrace police officers. The department is defending the officers, and the office of the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney has intervened. Around 7:15 a.m., police got a report about a guy allegedly trespassing and refusing to leave a business on Interstate 70. When the police came, they say the guy was under the influence of drugs. One of the business's employees recorded the event, and the guy did not seem to be a danger at all. At most, he refused to be handcuffed, claiming innocence. He never assaulted any police and was completely restrained and surrounded by them. According to police, when they approached the guy, he attempted to flee into the street, forcing officers to stop traffic and arrest him. At this point in the video, the guy is face-down on the hood of the police vehicle. While the two police try to arrest him, a third officer arrives

Man in Jail for Defending His Home Against Armed Invaders Who Were Cops

In the land of the free, every citizen is considered innocent unless proved guilty. Sadly, many people languish in prison for years, hoping to establish their innocence. Marvin Guy is innocent unless proved guilty. And he's been innocent, in prison, for 7 years. He faces the death sentence, as reported in 2014. On May 9, 2014, at 5:30 a.m., Guy shot and murdered Detective Charles Dinwiddie, injuring three other Killeen cops. One of Guy's neighbours had reported him for trafficking a significant amount of cocaine. During the inquiry, it was decided to break into Guy's house and look for proof to back up the informant's allegation. But after entering the house with such force that a senior cop was killed, no narcotics, not even a single marijuana joint, were discovered. As a result of the police invasion, one detective died and another melanin man was charged with murder. Guy's fate is unknown as he awaits prosecution for Dinwiddie's murder, which may not have hap

President Biden Is Left Silent as He Follows Donald Trump's Barbaric Immigration Policies

One day after Joseph Robinette Biden was inaugurated as President, it was expected that he would continue the Trump administration's most damaging policies. We anticipated that he would strengthen the police state, which he did. We anticipated he would prolong the conflicts and enlarge the military-industrial complex, which he has done. We predicted he would neither stop the “kids in cages” programme nor defund ICE — and in fact, he boosted their budget. Now, he's following in Trump's footsteps once again, but he's worse, and the mainstream media is choosing to whitewash it. Haiti has suffered horrendous human rights violations over the last decade. After Haiti was devastated by a magnitude 7 earthquake in 2010, the Clinton Foundation immediately set about collecting more than $30 million for humanitarian efforts. However, local people said that "the projects never materialised completely, while others point to luxurious hotels purportedly built with relief money t

Cops Arrested for brutally beating a teen for a speeding ticket

Body camera video published in April exposed numerous police officers' gang mentality, as cops were shown brutally assaulting a 17-year-old kid during a traffic check "like a pack of wolves." Additionally, it demonstrates the lengths to which police will go to enforce a speeding infraction. However, there is a silver lining to this tale, since the two policemen involved in the violence have been charged. Tori Verber Salazar, the district attorney for San Joaquin County, announced the indictment of former Stockton Police Department officers Michael Stiles and Omar Villapudua on felony charges of assault on a public officer and assault with a weapon likely to inflict severe bodily harm. “This grand jury indictment serves as a reminder to everyone that when police officers use excessive force, they erode community trust,” she added in a statement. “As the daughter of a police officer, I understand how critical it is to reestablish community trust, safety, and the profession&

Cops shoot and kill an innocent woman as an 8-year-old boy watches, then interrogate the boy without his parents' permission — lawsuit

  On October 12, 2019, Atatiana Jefferson, 28, was playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew when she heard a disturbance in the backyard and went to check. While Jefferson approached the window to ascertain the identity of the prowler, the prowler opened fire and killed her inside her house. However, since this prowler is wearing a badge, the police department chose to perform damage management by assassinating Jefferson's character before charging Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean with her murder. According to a complaint filed this week by the 8-year-mother, old's Zion Carr "suffered significant and severe mental and emotional anguish, worry, fear, and misery" as a result of seeing his aunt die as police administered CPR. According to the lawsuit, after seeing his aunt bleed to death in the living room, police held and questioned the young boy without parental permission. “At the age of eight, Z.C. was forced to witness his aunt, Atatiana Jefferson, being m

SP Kontongs Bello, the command's Public Relations Officer, revealed this in a statement released in Benin on Saturday. Although the officer's identity was not included in the statement, a police spokesman said that the officer is assigned to the command's anti-kidnapping and cybercrime section. He said that the detained cop fired a shot to subdue a murder suspect while attempting to apprehend him. The bullet struck one of the occupants in a moving car in the thigh. The man was taken to Edo Specialist Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. “Unfortunately, the bullet struck one of the passengers of a moving car, Moses Adam. He was taken to Edo Specialist Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. “The incompetent officer will face an administrative hearing to establish his culpability,” the statement said.
