UnDeclinable Service from Authorities who Know the Difference btw Right/Wrong but Disregard It When Race is a Variable: IL Cop Charged for Assaulting Disabled Black Teen, Made Him Sit on Spike Strips
From [HERE] and [HERE] A Washington Park police officer has been charged after he was accused last month of assaulting and using a stun gun on a person with an intellectual disability.
The St. Clair County State's Attorney's Office charged Justin Gaither, 32, on Tuesday with official misconduct and aggravated battery in the March 19 incident.
According to the Illinois State Police, Gaither responded to the area of 45th Street and Bunkum Road for a call for service and got into a physical altercation with 19-year-old Larry Shaw. An ambulance arrived to treat Shaw's injuries (caused by the assault by police?), at which point ISP alleges Gaither struck him in the face and used a stun gun on him while he was strapped to an ambulance gurney.
Shaw was then taken to an area hospital with injuries.
Gaither knew Shaw had a severe or profound intellectual disability, according to ISP. Shaw’s father, David Johnson said Officer Gaither was very familiar with his son because of their frequent interactions.
The Washington Park Police Department said Gaither was put on administrative leave earlier this month while the Illinois State Police Division of Criminal Investigation conducted a use-of-force investigation.
Gaither turned himself in to authorities on Tuesday after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He has since posted bond and was released pending trial.
In early April, 5 On Your Side spoke to Shaw and his father David Johnson.
Johnson said Shaw, who has bipolar disorder, autism and an intellectual disability, often calls the police.
"He gets upset about some things and he might want to talk to somebody else besides us, so he wants to talk to a police officer," Johnson said.
The Psychopathic Racial Personality. Dr. Bobby Wright explains ‘there is A COMMON MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT PEOPLE DESCRIBED AS PSYCHOPATHS. THEY ARE GENERALLY THOUGHT TO BE PERSONS who DO not know the difference between right and wrong. This belief is not true; psychopaths simply ignore the concept of right and wrong. By ignoring this trait in the White race (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.
…by and large, white people treat each other humanely. But in their relations with BLACK people, racists function as psychopaths.
…The presence of this trait in RACISTS has grave implications for Blacks who seek solutions to their problems FROM RACISTS SUSPECTS. FOR EXAMPLE, White GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES AND WHITE professionals (lawyers, doctors, judges, BANKERS, REAL ESTATE AGENTS, TEACHERS, politicians). consistently take advantage of Blacks without any guilt, anxiety, or threat to their self-esteem.
…This then is the psychopathic personality of the matador. The one constant in this ever-changing world is the behavior of the White race in their relationships with Blacks.’ [MORE]
Johnson said on March 19 his son made the emergency call once again. Gaither responded to their home.
"He knows Larry's condition. He's dealt with Larry several times," Johnson said.
Larry said he and the officer first had a casual conversation but their chat quickly turned into a violent confrontation in the family's kitchen.
"I walked away and went to my room because I wanted to be a better man," said Shaw. "We got into a fight and then he started swinging me to the floor. I said 'Can you let go?'" Shaw recalled.
Shaw said the officer handcuffed him, escorted him outside and then put him in a police cruiser and had him sit on spike strips. Shaw’s father, David Johnson says that when he arrived his son was sitting on spike strips. A spike strip (spike belt, traffic spikes, tire shredders, stingers, stop sticks, Stinger or formally known as a tire deflation device) is a device or incident weapon used to impede or stop the movement of wheeled vehicles by puncturing their tires. [MORE] He said he asked the cop why his son was sitting on spike strips but the white cop ignored him.
"I was crying, but I didn't know what to do," added Shaw.
Johnson said the officer let his son out of the police cruiser, but it wasn't over.
"Yes, I grabbed his walkie talkie and then he started punching me," Shaw said.
Shaw said the officer of punched him in his face and repeatedly used his stun gun on him as he was lying on his back, partially handcuffed and suffering a seizure.
"The EMS and the East St. Louis police officers said 'stop, don't do that that isn't right,'" Johnson said.
