Video of a White Camden Cop Sitting On an Unconscious Black Man as he Ordered a Police Dog to Maul Him Not Enough Proof to Find Cops Liable. Jury of Sheeple Prevent Law from Degenerating into Justice

From [HERE] A federal jury last week sided with the city and white police in a $10 million lawsuit over the 2015 death of a Black man who was tackled by officers and mauled by a police dog.

Phillip White died in police custody in March 2015 after officers responded to a call of a man acting erratically. Authorities said White had PCP in his system at the time of the incident. Video of an officer sitting on White’s back as he ordered a police K9 to bite him went viral, spurring outrage.

In 2016, his family filed a federal lawsuit against Vineland and the police department, alleging excessive force and violations of White’s civil rights. Two officers — Louis Platania and Rich Janasiak — were also initially named in the suit, though Janasiak was later dismissed as a defendant.

On Oct. 19, a jury sitting in District Court in Camden sided with the city, federal court records show.

“We believe very strongly in our client and our client’s cause, but the jury didn’t see it that way,” said Michael Galpern, an attorney for White’s mother, Pamela.

Galpern said his team was weighing whether to appeal the verdict. An attorney for Vineland and its police department declined to comment on the case.

The lawsuit also contended Vineland police had a history of ignoring complaints of excessive force, claiming that internal investigations into the officers’ conduct “consisted of interviews only of the officers, but not of civilian witnesses.”

ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY:

jury – a certain number of misinformed and indoctrinated citizens (wards of the state) with background belief systems (religious, cultural and political) drafted by a court of competent jurisdiction to assist the judge and attorneys-at-law in preventing law from degenerating into justice. (See: Justice, Religious Belief, Conditioning, Indoctrination, Juror & Juries)

Sheople – economic prey. 2) those who are both sheep and asleep. 3) people who mindlessly let others do their thinking for them. 4) people who are not in control of what they allow themselves to come to believe in. 5) people who have not taken personal responsibility to question their belief, faith, the content of truth, the nature of subjective reality. 6) those who watch major misinformation and propaganda television networks presumably for news that is factual. Sheople blindly follow a path where reality is excluded from the process. Are you the shepherd, or the flock? Are you the prisoner, or are you the lock? Sheople line up to get fleeced at the Baa Baa Shop. Scientific studies have found that it takes a minority of just 5 per cent of what they called “informed individuals” to influence the direction of a crowd of a minimum of 200 people. The remaining herd of 95 per cent follow without even realising it. The coziness of millions of others just like you give you a false sense of safety, but there is no life worth living where reality isn’t the glue. Sheople are those whose eyes the shepherd has pulled the wool over. Will the sheople ever wake up and see the light? Na aa aa.

Video of White’s arrest, shows several bystanders recording the incident and shouting at police that White was not resisting.

“Get that dog off of him,” a bystander shouted in one of the videos. “He’s knocked out. He’s not even moving.”

White died on his way to the hospital. Authorities at the time attributed his death to respiratory distress.

The hacker collective Anonymous later released the names of officers involved in the arrest shortly before authorities made them public. The officers were cleared of criminal wrongdoing by a grand jury in June 2016.

Galpern said because of limitations on what evidence they could introduce, jurors “never got to consider the long line of excessive force complaints against Vineland police officers” as well as the department’s alleged failure to investigate them properly.

Data provided by the city to the state Attorney General’s Office shows that only one city police officer faced any major discipline (defined as misconduct resulting in a suspension of five days or more) at the department in 2020 and 2021.

Vineland police face another lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court from a local man, Jose L. Paz Jr., who alleges he was also wrongly beaten by officers and bitten by a police dog in 2018. That case is still pending in court, records show.
