From [HERE] Just weeks after the killing of George Floyd touched off national protests, an incident played out on a Fairfax County street with disturbing parallels, right down to the words the black victim uttered at the hands of a white police officer: “I can’t breathe!”

A Fairfax County police officer is seen on body-camera footage June 5 firing a Taser at a disoriented man without apparent provocation, before pinning him to the ground with a knee to his neck, as a Minneapolis officer did in the encounter with Floyd.

La Monta Gladney, 36, survived and officer Tyler Timberlake was charged with three counts of misdemeanor assault and battery less than 36 hours after the incident on a Mount Vernon street.

WTOP Radio reports that both a prosecutor and a defense lawyer for Officer Tyler Timberlake agreed at a hearing Tuesday in Fairfax County General District Court that Timberlake thought he shot a person named Anthony, who had an extensive criminal record. But the victim was somebody else entirely.

Defense attorney Brandon Shapiro said the fact is relevant to Timberlake's defense because it shows his actions toward the individual were not irrational. [exactly, good team work counselors: his actions were racial-psychopathic. he knows the difference between right and wrong but ignores it when in the presence of melanated people. Dr. Bobby Wright calls this the psychopathic racial disorder. He explains further that ‘By ignoring this trait in racists (the lack of ethical and moral development) Blacks have made and are still making a tragic mistake in basing the worldwide Black liberation movement on moral suasion. It is pathological for Blacks to keep attempting to use moral suasion on a people who have no morality where race is the variable.]

Prosecutor Bob Frank disagreed about the relevance of the mistaken identity.

“A mistake on his part does not justify what he did,” Frank said. [sounds like its going to be an aggressive prosecution buddy.]

The video shows the white cop walking at a brisk pace straight toward the black man and without any hesitation or communication with him he shoots him the back upper shoulder. Clearly the cop took no time to corroborate any description, details or identity to maintain his latest lie.

The assault charges against the Black man were dropped. Not explanation was provided for the other “irrational” decision to charge him for his beat down by government agents.

The encounter has prompted activists and elected officials alike to renew long-simmering concerns about the policing of black and brown people in the D.C. area’s largest jurisdiction.

In 2018, African Americans made up roughly 10 percent of the county’s population but constituted 44 percent of the cases in which officers deployed force, according to department statistics. In contrast, whites made up 61 percent of the county’s population but were only involved in 33 percent of such cases.

The number of use-of-force cases against African Americans has jumped 25 percent since 2016, according to the figures. Department officials are readying 2019 numbers, which should be released next week.

The group ACLU People Power Fairfax also analyzed 2018 arrests this month, concluding the percentages of Latinos and blacks charged are roughly two and three times their share of the population in the county, respectively.
