Kazeem Amzat, 48, was hospitalised Wednesday after a police officer in Osun dragged him and his son, Afeez, on a motorcycle in Osogbo. The event occurred at around 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday in the Owo-Eba, Oke-Ijetu neighbourhood of Osogbo, the capital of Osun State. The police officer was one of the state CID officers stationed at the Owo-Eba checkpoint. Amzat, who also sells plank, is now recovering from a bone fracture in his left leg. Additionally, it was said that several furious adolescents in the vicinity descended on the police officer after the event, injuring him. Amzat described his experience in a hospital bed, saying he was riding his motorbike to his farm in Apara village, Atakunmosa East Local Government, with his son. He continued by stating that he instructed his son, who was riding the motorbike, to detour to meet a welder who had been working for him on a building, when a police officer suddenly approached and brandished a pistol at them. Amzat stated, "The cop pul

When a father calls 911 to report being stabbed, cops arrive and kill him.

This week's release of a graphic body camera video demonstrates the crapshoot that is dialling 911. Michael Craig, 61, the janitor of his apartment complex, phoned 911 to report being held hostage at knifepoint; when cops arrived, they asked no questions and quickly executed him. Craig's wife was in the midst of a mental health crisis on that fateful October day and was holding a knife to his neck. He was able to contact 911 and seek assistance from authorities, but assistance was the last thing he got. "My wife has a knife on me in bed — on my neck right now," Craig said during the 911 call. "She managed to get the knife into my neck. I am immobile. "She's going to murder me if I move," he continued. Craig then informed police that his seven-year-old son would walk downstairs and unlock the door for them. "I've opened the entrance door. Inform the cops that the door is now open. Craig informs the operator that his child is holding the door

10yo Boy Handcuffed at Gunpoint While Shopping With Father

A father's apparent misinterpretation of a crime scene traffic redirection resulted in a horrible outcome for his 10-year-old son, who was detained at gunpoint and shackled for no cause. Body camera video published this week demonstrates how rapidly things can spiral out of control when interacting with officers – much more so for young melanin people. Benjamin Whitfield, 10, and his father were on their way to the mall on the day he was traumatised by police. They were not guilty of any crime and had caused no damage to anybody. When they arrived at the mall, police were conducting an investigation after a gunshot and diverting traffic in a different route than usual. Whitfield's father probably drove in the wrong way owing to a simple misunderstanding, resulting in a police chase and eventual stop. Rather than just inform the father that he was going in the wrong direction, cops held the fifth-grader and his father at gunpoint and forced them out of the vehicle. Benjamin is a

Police Charged with Burglary and Murder After Shooting Man 76 Times

For years, the family of a 26-year-old Atlanta man who was shot 76 times by police believed their only option was to file a civil rights case against the policemen involved. However, five years after Jamarion Robinson was shot down in his own house, the police responsible for his death are being brought to justice this month. Eric Heinze, an assistant chief inspector with the United States Marshals' Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, and Kristopher Hutchens, a Clayton County police officer assigned to the task force, have been charged with criminal murder. Along with the two murder accusations, both cops were charged with aggravated assault, burglary, making false statements, and public officer oath violation. Though there is nobody camera film, the sheer number of gunshot wounds in Robinson's body dispels any idea of required and reasonable force. "My kid was shot over 90 times, flash-bang grenades were thrown at him and fell on him, burning him. Someone ascended the

An unarmed father is executed by a cop who kicked through his door.

Johnny Bolton, a father of two, had committed no crime and was not sought by police on the night he died. However, as a result of the state's heartless destruction of all individuals who cross its path, Bolton became collateral damage - killed by the drug war's enforcers — while sleeping on a couch. The Smyrna County district attorney has subsequently recommended charging Samuel Daniel, the sheriff's officer who murdered Bolton that morning. After hearing evidence from a GBI agent, the medical examiner, camera video, witness comments, and pictures, a grand jury concluded last month that Daniel's use of force was not warranted in the least. "It is regular policy for the District Attorney's Office to refer all officer-involved shooting events to a grand jury. If the grand jury recommends further action, more investigation will be conducted to decide which charges, if any, should be sent to a future grand jury. Regarding the officer-involved shooting of Johnny Bol

Cops Fire 25 Rounds Into Innocent Crowd at Football Game, Killing an 8-Year-Old Little Girl and Shooting Her Family

When Fanta Bility, 8, and her family went to a high school football game in August, they had no idea their greatest dread would come true that night. Unfortunately, according to a complaint filed this week, that is precisely what occurred as a result of a bunch of trigger-happy police officers employing excessive force. As Fanta and her family exited the game that night, police opened fire on their party, fatally shooting Fanta and injuring numerous others, including her elder sister. Two months have passed since tiny Fanta breathed her death and no one has been accused. The family is no longer wasting time and has chosen to pursue legal action. Attorney Bruce L. Castor filed a complaint against the borough of Sharon Hill and the police officers who opened fire on Tuesday, citing excessive force and insufficient training. According to Castor, the girl's family is seeking "answers and compensation for the terrible and senseless death... as well as the injuries and anguish impos

Cops Mistake Man’s Severe Autism for ‘Resisting’, Taser Him in His Head, Sending Him to Hospital

Louis Grahai, a twenty-year-old with severe autism and the mental ability of a four-year-old, is renowned in his community as a kind and loving guy who has never harmed anybody. However, when he strayed too far from his house last weekend, those neighbours were unfamiliar with him, and his towering height and peculiar conduct prompted a 911 call and subsequent excessive force incident by the Eustis police department. "Everyone adores Lou." "He's lovely, and everyone knows he's not going to do anything bad," his mother, Roberta Crew, said. According to Police Chief Craig Capri, "the perfect storm" occurred last Saturday when Grahai allegedly became disoriented in another area and attempted to enter a residence that was not his. The resident was understandably concerned and called 911 to report the event. "I'm not sure he was smashing it... "However, I heard the door handle sway," she said to authorities. When police arrived on the
