A video shows cops shooting and killing a baby while holding his father hostage.

In May, a tragedy occurred as an hours-long police pursuit from Louisiana to Mississippi came to an end. After cornering Eric Derrell Smith, 30, in the I-10 median, cops opened fire on him as he sat in the driver's seat with one hand on his baby son and another on his revolver, according to accounts. The FBI has now stepped in to conduct an investigation six months later. "We need an impartial third party to review the material, which will then be given over to us," Biloxi Police Chief John Miller stated. Indeed, an independent source is required, as authorities first hesitated to claim the bullet that killed La'Mello Parker, who was three months old. Additionally, their assertions that a "shootout" occurred before the infant's death were proved to be untrue. According to the Sun Herald, Because police from the Mississippi Highway Patrol, Harrison County Sheriff's Department, and Gulfport Police Department were involved in the incident, the Biloxi Po

Cops Killed a Little Girl Then Charged Two Teens Who Were a Block Away With Her Murder

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, that is precisely what occurred, courtesy to a bunch of trigger-happy police officers who used excessive force. Now, since officers in America are not held responsible for their own conduct, they have charged two adolescent lads with Fanta's murder – despite the fact that she was killed by police weapons. 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. It's been over three months since young Fanta died, and no police have been prosecuted - just two teenagers who happened to be fighting nearby. According to Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer, Angelo "AJ" Ford, 16, and Husein Strand, 18, face first-degree murder, aggravated assault, and firearm charges in connection with th

On the same day as Rittenhouse, a melanated man who shot at cops was acquitted for self-defence, media silent

Last Friday, the internet and streets exploded in both outrage and delight after Kyle Rittenhouse's acquittal on all counts by a jury of his peers. The jury ruled that Rittenhouse was justified in murdering two persons and injuring another in self-defence. This was the inevitable conclusion for those who saw the trial, but some are still hell-bent on labelling him a hero or a monster, while in truth, he is neither. Self-defence is a natural response. It is noble to act in defence of others. While corporate media vultures scoured the Rittenhouse trial for every divisive fleck they could find in order to keep society at loggerheads, they conveniently disregarded another trial in which the same guy acted heroically. Andrew Coffee IV tried to defend his life and that of his girlfriend by shooting at numerous house intruders who burst through his bedroom window in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, Coffee was unable to save his lover, Alteria Woods, who was shot 10 times by the hou

If Rittenhouse is acquitted, Marvin Guy should be released from his pre-trial detention.

Every individual in the land of the free is deemed innocent unless proved guilty in a court of law. Unfortunately, this provision is often suspended for many people who languish in prison for years awaiting trial or, as was the case with Kyle Rittenhouse, are considered guilty by the media and political opponents, diminishing their prospects of a fair trial. Once Kyle Rittenhouse's case reached the jury, and one of the witnesses who was shot by Rittenhouse testified that Rittenhouse did not shoot him until he aimed the pistol at Rittenhouse, the prosecution's case started to unravel. Additionally, the nation discovered that the FBI surreptitiously flies drones over demonstrations and captures everything we do – like Joseph Rosenbaum pursuing and assaulting a fleeing Rittenhouse before being shot. The exonerating force of this completely Orwellian film proved to be the last nail in the prosecution's coffin, and Rittenhouse was acquitted of all counts on Friday. Though many i

‘Melanated Guy! The lunatic cop almost killed a melanated teen who was delivering newspapers.

Every time police departments throughout the country seek to make strides in improving racial relations and restoring confidence, officers like DeWitt police officer Chad Vorce emerge from the shadows and knock them back a step. This week, a video emerged showing Vorce pursuing an innocent melanated adolescent – for no other reason than the fact that he was the only melanated person in his community. Although the incident occurred in January of this year, the video footage was just recently made public. Following a chance encounter with 19-year-old Alexander Hamilton driving through his neighbourhood, Vorce resorted to irrational use of force and racial profiling. Vorce's reaction to seeing a melanated adolescent in his neighbourhood sparked off a chain of events that resulted in Vorce losing his job and the adolescent being almost murdered. Hamilton happened to be in the area that morning since he had to go to work. He worked as a newspaper delivery worker in Vorce's area, and

Cop Gets Immunity After Video Shows Him Jumping on Car, Killing Unarmed Driver

O'Shae Terry and a buddy were stopped by Arlington police officer Julie Herlihy in September 2018 because Terry's temporary tag had expired. Officer Bau Tran would also react to the stop and would shoot and murder Terry 10 minutes later. The Fifth Circuit Appeals Court has now given Tran qualified immunity on the grounds that leaping onto a moving automobile and murdering the driver is "reasonable." The event occurred in broad daylight on September 1, 2018. Terry had not yet received his new licence plate, and as a result, officer Herlihy targeted him for revenue collection. When officer Tran arrived, he smelled marijuana, and traffic check quickly devolved into a hunt for a plant. As a result of the court's decision: O'Shae Terry and his passenger, Terrence Harmon, were stopped by a City of Arlington police officer for driving a huge SUV with an expired registration plate. The officer approached the vehicle and demanded identification from Terry and Harmon. A

1 rotten apple? Union Votes to Fire Cop who Exposed Torture and Death of Handcuffed Man

Image
Cops who expose departmental misconduct and work to avoid violence often find themselves on the receiving end of this judicial system, condemned for doing the right thing. This retribution against officers for revealing corruption inside their units refutes the "one bad apple" idea totally. Is it "one rotten apple" if a whole department tries to snub an officer for doing the right thing? Police in Joliet Sgt. Javier Esqueda is an excellent officer. We can say this with confidence since he demonstrated it by refusing to remain quiet about suspected illegal activities committed by his fellow officers and risking his job and now his freedom in order to shed light on the matter. He thought enough was enough after seeing a video of his fellow police seem to choke a guy who ultimately died. His other cops restrained Eric Lurry while he was handcuffed, suffocated him, struck him, and jammed a baton into his mouth moments before he died. Esqueda was detained and then indict

In Osun, a 48-year-old farmer was hospitalised when a police officer pulled his motorbike into a gutter.

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
