Deputies Ambush Black Security Guard in Liberal LA. 2 Cops Repeatedly Struck Man in the Head w/Gun, Fists, Slammed Face into Sidewalk, Used Chokehold and Threatened his Life. Eye Sight Gone in 1 Eye

From [HERE] and [HERE] Video shows Los Angeles deputies allegedly beating a Black security guard and putting a gun to the back of his head in front of a horrified crowd of people.

The 90-second clip was posted on Twitter by Cerise Castle, an investigative journalist based in Los Angeles, on Tuesday. She also obtained video from a nearby business that shows the thug cops pulling into the parking lot, jumped out and attacked Blake Anderson as he walked with a friend. Blake has since lost his eyesight a result of this brutal beating.

According to Castle, two deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department arrived at the Good Batch Lounge in Inglewood on Sunday morning and began beating a man she identified as Blake Anderson.

"This is Blake Anderson. He's a security guard at the Good Batch Lounge. Early Sunday morning, deputy Rodriguez and his partner pulled up and began beating Blake," Castle wrote in a tweet alongside the clip.

"He's since lost vision in his eye. He's [currently] being charged with assault on a police office for this."

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the Los Angeles Police Department and the Inglewood Police Department have all been contacted for comment.

As the video begins, one deputy has Anderson in a headlock while the other repeatedly hits him.

Among the crowd of people witnessing the incident, a woman can be seen yelling at the deputies: "He's security here."

As one woman repeatedly yells that Anderson "works here," one of the deputies is seen pulling the gun out of his holster and holding it to Anderson's back. The other restrains him.

"Don't resist, they're a gang!" another person at the scene is heard saying. Earlier this year, the Los Angeles County Civilian Oversight Commission announced an investigation into "the deputy gangs that have plagued the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for decades."

Seconds later, the deputy points the gun to the back of Anderson's head and uses his other hand to hold the civilian's head down.

According to Castle, at this point deputy said to Anderson: "I'm going to blow your f**king brains out."

In the video, the woman filming can be heard pleading with Anderson not to do anything that could risk his life.

"Blake, no. Blake, no. Blake. Don't resist, Blake. No no no. Do what you gotta do, Blake. Come on," the person is heard saying, as one deputy punches Anderson in the head and slams his head into the ground.

"Please Blake, no. Don't fight back," the person adds, as the deputies force Anderson's arms behind his back.

One deputy pins him down with a knee on his shoulder area while the other deputy places him in handcuffs.

"He did nothing. He was walking with me. He did nothing," the person filming says. "Blake, do not let them do anything, Blake. Blake, let them take you bro."

According to a GoFundMe page set up by Anderson's sister Bailey Anderson to raise funds for medical and legal costs, multiple witnesses said Anderson was speaking with a customer when the deputies "got out of their vehicle and proceeded to ambush him with no probable cause."

"No name, source of identification, or justification for arrest was asked for before immediately slamming his head into a glass window," his sister wrote on the page.

Anderson had been recovering from a ruptured right eye and "finally showing signs of his sight returning" prior to Sunday's incident, she wrote.

"After being slammed into the window, Blake attempted to let the officers know about the current condition of his eye to no avail.

"While on the ground, Officer Rodriguez repeatedly struck him in the head with his firearm, punched him in the face, pressed his gun into the back of his head, continuously slammed his head into the concrete, and stomped on his head. All while his partner held Blake down."

Anderson sustained multiple injuries, including a dislocated shoulder, his sister said. "Worst of all, the sight improvement in his right eye has now deteriorated. Doctors say the eye must be cosmetically removed, and a prosthetic eye should be inserted."

She described her brother "one of the most incredible people to be around" and said he is expecting a baby with his long-time girlfriend.

"He was at work trying to provide for his family, and this tragic incident happened," she added.

Bailey Anderson has been contacted for comment.

White Opelousas Police Sgt Convicted for Brutally Attacking Black Teen Restrained to a Hospital Bed. Jury Found Cop Repeatedly Punched and Used Chokehold on Teen, who was Not Under Arrest or a Suspect

On count one, he was accused of hitting the teen in the face. He was found guilty on that count.
On count two, he was accused of using his hand to "choke" the teen. He was found guilty on that count.
On count three, he was accused of using his arm and elbow to "choke" the teen. He was found guilty on that count.
On count four, he was accused of pushing the teen's leg; he was found not guilty on that count.
On count five, he was accused of pulling the teen's arm while his wrist was handcuffed; the jury was unable to agree on a verdict on that count.

He faces faces up to 20 years in prison, so how many days in jail do you think he will get hooked up with? Maybe just probation? what is white collective power?

From [HERE] A white Opelousas police officer might face jail time after he was convicted Tuesday on three counts of malfeasance in connection with a 2019 attack on a Black teenager who was restrained in an emergency room hospital bed.

Tyron Andrepont, 50, now awaits a sentencing date following a court-ordered pre-sentence investigation that will probably occur sometime during the next six months.

Andrepont tried to resign, but the City Council rejected his resignation. Then, in July 2020, the council voted to terminate him after Louisiana State Police investigators determined from hospital camera footage that Andrepont allegedly used “excessive force” in handling Jonah Coleman, a patient at Opelousas General Hospital. [MORE]

The teenager was not a suspect in a crime or in police custody.

St. Landry Parish Assistant District Attorney Katie Ryan, who was the lead prosecutor for the two-day jury before retired District Judge Ronnie Cox, said during an interview that each count of malfeasance against Andrepont carries a maximum sentence of five years, with or without hard labor.

Flora Coleman, mother of Jonah Coleman, spoke to reporters after the trial and said she hopes Andrepont will never work again as a police officer.

A hospital surveillance camera filmed as Opelousas Police Sgt. Tyron Andrepont repeatedly struck and applied a choke hold to a restrained black teenager in October 2019, court documents said. He attacked the teenager on 3 separate occasions.

On Oct. 30, Andrepont responded to Opelousas General Hospital’s south campus, where 18-year-old Jonah Coleman was receiving treatment in the hospital’s emergency room. Coleman had been taken to the hospital by his family at the request of his parents and was not in police custody, McLendon and the teen's attorney said. 

Louisiana State Police Investigator Mark Fournet reported footage from Coleman’s treatment room in the hospital’s emergency facility showed the teenager tried to get out of bed several times [which is not illegal]

At time stamp 7:18, Andrepont rushed toward Coleman, struck him in the face with his right hand and Coleman’s head snapped back. Andrepont reached for Coleman again but didn’t make contact, then pushed down on Coleman’s neck and upper chest before putting his hand on Coleman’s neck and pushing him away, the affidavit said.

At time stamp 7:37, Andrepont grabbed Coleman’s right leg and pushed his leg up and toward Coleman’s head. Five minutes later, Andrepont put his right hand on Coleman’s neck, pushing his head down. He maintained his hold on Colemna’s neck, according to court documents. At 8:32, Andrepont grabbed Coleman’s neck with his right hand and pushed his head down while maintaining “his hold on Jonah’s neck.” At 9:51, Fournet reported that Andrepont put his right arm around Coleman’s neck in a choke hold, the documents said.

Finally, at 10:18 p.m., Andrepont “held the handcuff that was still attached to Jonah’s right wrist and pulled it to the rear, extending Jonah’s arm.”

After reviewing Fournet’s report and the video, St. Landry Parish District Attorney’s Investigator J. Rene Speyrer wrote: “It is my opinion that Sgt. Tyron Andrepont, working as an officer with the Opelousas Police Department, committed several acts of battery on Jonah Shyheem Coleman Jr….”

The six-person trial jury deliberated for three and a half hours on Tuesday. In addition to the conviction on three of the malfeasance charges, jurors also concluded that Andrepont was not guilty on another malfeasance charge. The jury additionally indicated that they could reach no decision on another charge of malfeasance against Andrepont.

Court records contained in the bill of information indicate the malfeasance charges contain separate allegations that Andrepont at some point during the incident placed Coleman in a chokehold, struck or slapped Coleman in the face and restrained Coleman by using arms and elbows.

Defense attorney Kevin Stockstill said after the verdict that Andrepont, who did not testify, does not plan to seek further employment in law enforcement. At the time of his arrest, KATC Investigates turned up several cases in which Andrepont was disciplined while a member of Opelousas Police. To read that story, click here.

Stephen Curry Appeals for Brittney Griner’s Release in Front of Packed Audience Before Game

From [HERE] Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors offered support to Brittney Griner, the American basketball player serving a prison sentence in Russia, saying he hoped everyone was doing their part to bring her home.

Mr. Curry, a star shooter, denounced Ms. Griner’s incarceration during his team’s championship ring ceremony. His statements were part of a coordinated campaign for sports figures—including Billie Jean King, Abby Wambach and WNBA players—to speak about Ms. Griner’s detention.

Her agent planned the campaign, called #WeAreBG, for around her 32nd birthday Tuesday and her appeal hearing next week. She is appealing her nine-year prison sentence on drug charges following her February arrest at a Moscow airport.

“We want to continue to use our platform and the opportunity to shout out a very special member of the basketball community,” Mr. Curry said Tuesday night, wishing her a happy birthday as he addressed a packed crowd at Chase Center in San Francisco.

Mr. Curry spoke during a ceremony ahead of the Warriors’s closely watched season opener on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Warriors beat the Lakers 123-109. [MORE]

George Floyd’s Family is Suing Massa'Bator Kanye West for $250 Million over ‘Flagrant’ Remarks about his Death

Massa’bator Kanye [“a lost sheep in Master's clothing” ] ReAssures his White Masters and White Fan Base that Nothing’s Changed, He’s Still Out of His Mind, and thus, No Threat to White Supremacy

From [HERE] George Floyd’s family is seeking legal action against Kanye West over comments he made about the circumstances surrounding Floyd’s death.

West, who now goes by the name Ye, falsely claimed that Floyd died from fentanyl use on the podcast Drink Champs, despite the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office ruling Floyd’s death a homicide after former police officer Derek Chauvin held his knee on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.

“Kanye’s comments are a repugnant attempt to discount George Floyd’s life and to profit from his inhumane death,” said Attorney Pat D. Dixon III, who is taking on the case for Floyd’s family. “We will hold Mr. West accountable for his flagrant remarks against Mr. Floyd’s legacy.”

The suit is being filed by Floyd’s mother Roxie Washington on behalf of Floyd’s only daughter, who is a minor. A statement from Dixon said the lawsuit against Ye is over “harassment, misappropriation, defamation and infliction of emotional distress seeking $250 million dollars in damages.”

The statement also says the family has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Ye for his comments. Representatives for Ye did not immediately respond to MarketWatch’s request for comment on this story. [MORE]

Justice Department announces settlement to resolve lending discrimination claims against Evolve Bank and Trust

From [HERE] On September 29, 2022, the Justice Department announced a proposed consent order with Evolve Bank and Trust to resolve allegations of lending discrimination on the basis of race, sex, and national origin in the pricing of its residential mortgage loans from at least 2014 through 2019.

Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, Evolve Bank maintains mortgage lending offices and provides mortgage lending services in 15 states.  Pursuant to the settlement, Evolve Bank must establish a settlement fund of $1.3 million to compensate affected borrowers, and must also pay a $50,000 civil penalty.  By way of background, after opening an investigation, the Justice Department filed a complaint alleging violations of the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act by Evolve Bank.  The Justice Department alleged that Evolve Bank’s loan pricing resulted in Black, Hispanic and female borrowers paying more in their “discretionary pricing” components of home loans than White or male borrowers for reasons unrelated to their creditworthiness.  This “discretionary pricing” component allegedly allowed Evolve Bank’s loan officers  to set artificially high interest rates for reasons having nothing to do with the borrower’s credit qualifications or loan characteristics and then to offer discounts without any requirement for a loan officer to provide or document a justification.

The proposed consent order requires Evolve Bank, for a period of four years, to maintain policies that reduce loan officer discretion, employ a fair lending officer who will work in close consultation with the bank’s leadership, and provide fair lending training to its personnel.

The Department of Justice consent order with Evolve is just the latest of a series of consent orders that the CFPB and/or DOJ have entered into this year with banks and non-banks involving alleged discrimination in violation of the Fair Housing Act and/or Equal Credit Opportunity Act.  As is typically the case, the DOJ had no evidence of direct discrimination against members of a protected class and relied instead on the disparate impact theory in alleging violations of these statutes.  The major takeaway from recent matters is that redlining and the use of discretionary pricing are likely to continue to be matters that draw the attention of the DOJ and CFPB.

Corpse Biden Pardons Thousands of People Convicted of Federal Marijuana Possession as His Fellow White Liberals Fill the Jails with Black People in DC, NYC, Chicago, LA etc.

From [HERE] President Biden on Thursday pardoned(link is external) all people convicted of marijuana possession under federal law and said his administration would review whether marijuana should still be a Schedule 1 drug like heroin and LSD, saying that “makes no sense” (article available here)(link is external).

The pardons will clear about 6,500 people who were convicted on federal charges of simple possession of marijuana from 1992 to 2021 and thousands more who were convicted of possession in the District of Columbia.

Mr. Biden urged governors to follow his lead for people convicted on state charges of simple possession. The number of convictions under state laws vastly outnumbers those who have been charged with a violation of federal laws.

“Sending people to jail for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives — for conduct that is legal in many states,” Mr. Biden said on Twitter(link is external) on Thursday. “That’s before you address the clear racial disparities around prosecution and conviction. Today, we begin to right these wrongs.”

Marijuana is already fully legal in about 20 states, and some other states have relaxed criminal penalties.

New Study Finds Significant Racial Disparities in the Administration of the Death Penalty in Liberal St. Louis County. Death is 3.5 Times More Likely to Be Imposed if the Victim was White

From [HERE] A study of more than 400 death-eligible murder cases in St. Louis County, Missouri over a 27-year period has found significant racial disparities in the county’s administration of the death penalty based upon the race of the victim.

St. Louis County is liberal area - St. Louis county voted Democratic in every Presidential election since 2000.

An expert report by University of North Carolina political scientist Frank R. Baumgartner released on September 20, 2022 found that the likelihood that a death sentence would be imposed in St. Louis County was 3.5 times greater if the victim was white, as compared to cases in which the victim was Black. The race-of-victim effects “persist[ed] after the introduction of controls for aggravating and mitigating factors,” Baumgartner wrote, “meaning that these disparities cannot be explained by legitimate case characteristics.”

Baumgartner’s study was prepared in connection with defense efforts to obtain clemency for death-row prisoner Kevin Johnson, a teen offender sentenced to death for killing a white police officer. It covered the years 1991–2018, tracking the period in which former St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch was in office. Voters ousted McCullough in 2018 after he failed to indict a white police officer for the murder of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, which incited the Ferguson protests. 

Baumgartner found statistically significant evidence that white lives mattered more to county prosecutors than Black lives during McCullough’s tenure, with the greatest race-of-victim disparities in the treatment of cases occurring at the stages of the case in which prosecutors had the greatest discretion. While more than twice as many of the 408 death-eligible cases that came before county prosecutors during the study period involved Black victims (68.4% to 31.6%), nearly two-thirds of the 29 cases that resulted in death sentences in the county involved victims who were white (62.1% to 37.9%). (Click to enlarge graphic.) On average, 7.1% of death-eligible cases resulted in death sentences. However, death was imposed in 14.1% of white-victim cases, as compared to 4.0% of cases in which the victim was Black.

Sup Ct Upholds Black Man's Death Sentence by All White Jury for Murdering his White Wife Even Though 3 Jurors “vigorously opposed" Interracial Marriage and Mannequin-Like Defense Atty Failed to Object

From [HERE] The Supreme Court denied review Tuesday in the case of Andre Thomas, a Black man sentenced to death in Texas for the murder of his wife (who was white) and their biracial son by an all-white jury that included three people who expressed opposition to interracial marriage and miscegenation.

These jurors said on questionnaires that they “oppose” or “vigorously oppose people of different racial backgrounds marrying and/or having children,” that interracial relationships were against God’s will, and that people “should stay with [their] Blood Line.”

But Mr. Thomas’s counsel did not even question two of them about their stated bias, much less strike them from the jury even though they had peremptory strikes available. And as Justice Sonia Sotomayor pointed out in dissent, the one juror who was questioned about his views on race “never retreated from his ‘beliefs about interracial marriage.'”

Views about interracial intimacy are even more highly charged than those about interracial violence, Justice Sotomayor explained. “Historians have long recognized that interracial marriage, sex, and procreation evoke some of the most invidious forms of prejudice and violence,” she wrote.

In this case, the State “fanned the flames” when it urged the jury to impose the death penalty. After the prosecutor asked jurors, “Are you going to take the risk about [Thomas] asking your daughter out, or your granddaughter out?” and reminded them about the “string of girls” who testified they’d had romantic relationships with Mr. Thomas, the all-white jury sentenced him to death.

On appeal, Mr. Thomas argued that his trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective for failing to question or strike the biased jurors, and as a result, he was convicted and sentenced to death by a jury that included three jurors who expressed bias against him.

The state courts and lower federal court denied relief, and the Fifth Circuit affirmed, finding in a divided opinion that defense counsel’s “decision to forego questioning three of the four jurors about racial bias was simply a matter of trial strategy.”

But no reasonable strategy would lead a defense lawyer not to question these jurors, Justice Sotomayor wrote in a dissent joined by justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. “To the contrary, the hostility the jurors expressed in their questionnaires strongly suggested that their presence would infect the proceedings with racial bias.”

The dissent found that Mr. Thomas’s conviction and death sentence clearly violate the Sixth Amendment right to the effective assistance of counsel. “By failing to challenge, or even question, jurors who were hostile to interracial marriage in a capital case involving that explosive topic,” the dissent wrote, “Thomas’ counsel performed well below an objective standard of reasonableness.”

The Court’s decision contributed to a long history of state and federal courts tolerating racial bias and discrimination in the selection of juries.

The dissent underscored that courts—including the Supreme Court—are duty-bound to confront racial prejudice and ensure that racially biased jurors are not seated, especially in a death penalty case. Citing the Court’s own recent precedent, the dissent wrote:

No jury deciding whether to recommend a death sentence should be tainted by potential racial biases that could infect its deliberations or decision, particularly where the case involved an interracial crime. Ignoring issues of racial bias in the jury system “damages ‘both the fact and the perception’ of the jury’s role as ‘a vital check against the wrongful exercise of power by the State.’”

Will Any Government Authorities Be Held Accountable for Poisoning Black People’s Water in Flint? Judge Tosses Criminal Charges against 7 Officials

From [HERE] A Michigan judge dismissed charges Tuesday against seven people in the Flint water scandal, including two former state health officials blamed for deaths from Legionnaires’ disease.

Judge Elizabeth Kelly took action three months after the Michigan Supreme Court said a one-judge grand jury had no authority to issue indictments.

Kelly rejected efforts by the attorney general’s office to just send the cases to Flint District Court and turn them into criminal complaints, the typical path to filing felony charges in Michigan.

“Simply put, there are no valid charges,” Kelly said.

The ruling wipes out criminal charges against Nick Lyon, former director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services; Snyder’s former senior adviser Richard Baird; former Flint emergency managers Gerald Ambrose and Darnell Earley; Dr. Eden Wells, the former chief medical executive for MDHHS; Jarrod Agen, former director of communications and former chief of staff for Snyder; and Nancy Peeler, who served as the Early Childhood Health Section manager at MDHHS.

Kelly’s decision doesn’t affect former Gov. Rick Snyder. That’s only because he was charged with misdemeanors and his case is being handled by a judge in a different Flint court. But he, too, was indicted in a process declared invalid by the Supreme Court.

The most serious charges dismissed by Kelly on Tuesday had been filed against Wells and Lyon, each of whom faced nine counts of involuntary manslaughter, punishable by up to 15 years in prison; and Agen and Baird, who were each charged with perjury, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

In 2014, Flint managers appointed by Snyder took the city out of a regional water system and began using the Flint River to save money while a new pipeline to Lake Huron was being built. But the river water wasn’t treated to reduce its corrosive qualities. Lead broke off from old pipes and contaminated the system for more than a year.

Separately, the water was blamed for an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease, which typically spreads through heating and cooling systems.

Former state health director Nick Lyon and former chief medical executive Eden Wells were charged with involuntary manslaughter in nine deaths linked to Legionnaires’. They were accused of failing to timely warn the Flint area about the outbreak.

Lyon’s attorneys praised Kelly’s decision and urged the attorney general’s office to close a “misguided prosecution.”

“This misuse of the criminal justice system has to stop,” Chip Chamberlain and Ron DeWaard said. “Misleading statements about what Director Lyon did or didn’t do contribute nothing to a constructive public dialogue and do not represent justice for anyone.”

Judge rules there's still work to do, extends contract for Cleveland police federal monitor

From [HERE] In an order filed Thursday in federal court, the judge overseeing the Cleveland police consent decree, Solomon Oliver, made clear that the city has a ways to go before its police department will be released from the seven-year-old agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice.

In the order, Oliver extended the contract of the monitor who evaluates the city’s progress on police reforms by two years, until October of 2024. In a statement from Mayor Justin Bibb's spokesperson, Marie Zickefoose, the administration said it will seek to move on the next step in the consent decree, known as the sustainability phase.

The city is currently in the assessment phase, where the monitor evaluates whether policies and training are taking hold in the department. A recent assessment of the city's use-of-force incidents found that the department was largely following new policies. But an assessment of recruiting and hiring practices was more critical. The monitor is still planning to conduct assessments of the department's community engagement efforts, adherence to new search and seizure policies and officer misconduct investigations, among others.

It's unclear if the city is seeking to skip past those assessments. In the sustainability phase, the monitor would conduct significantly less oversight of the department.

The city entered into the federal consent decree in 2015 after a U.S. Justice Department investigation found a pattern of excessive force by Cleveland police.

Just last month, the city argued in federal court that it had achieved the goals of the consent decree. Law Director Mark Griffin told the court the city has met big-picture benchmarks and only had procedural details left to work out.

The city claimed to have decreased officer use-of-force incidents, improved officer accountability and established effective crisis intervention training for officers to use when responding to people in a mental health crisis.

A progress report issued by the monitor prior to the hearing, and arguments made by the monitor and Department of Justice at the hearing, contradicted those claims. Oliver said then that the city still had work to do and, with his order Thursday, indicated they’ll be under federal oversight for at least the next two years.

“It is clear that, while the city has made substantial progress, it has not yet achieved substantial and effective compliance at this time,” Oliver wrote in the order.

Community Police Commission co-chair Lew Katz agreed with the court’s decision that the city is not finished with the consent decree. He said the city had pressed for a quick end to the agreement recently by relying on the widespread belief that Mayor Justin Bibb was supportive of police reform.

“Now show it’ is basically what the monitor’s report said,” Katz said.

The commission also released a report Thursday, based on the monitor’s status update, that found the city still has to complete more than half of the 300-plus requirements in the consent decree.

According to that report, the city has only completed about 31% of the community policing requirements in the consent decree and 37% of the search and seizure reforms. The area where the police department had made the most progress, crisis intervention, still was only two-thirds complete.

The report also found progress of just a little more than 1% of the consent decree’s requirements since Mayor Justin Bibb took office in January.

“I’m not sure [the Bibb administration] has put enough effort in in their first 9 months in office,” Katz said.

Cop Claims He was Fired After Revealing that LAPD Authorities use Quotas to Make Gang and Gun-related Arrests and Seizures, Lawsuit Filed in Liberal Los Angeles

From [HERE] On Wednesday, LAPD Officer John Walker filed a retaliation suit against the city seeking unspecified damages after alleging that his efforts to speak out about commanders’ enforcing purportedly illegal quotas regarding gang contact and gun-related arrests and seizures led management to take career-damaging steps against him to keep him quiet.

Walker was assigned to Metro Division in 2015 after applying for and being selected for a coveted position on the SWAT team. However, problems began not long after when, as part of a Metro expansion by then-Chief Charlie Beck, Walker and other LAPD officers were pressured to increase the production of specific crime statistics, the suit states. The command staff allegedly ordered Walker and other Metro officers to report higher numbers of contacts with gang members, to make more gun-related arrests and seizures, and to take more gang members into custody.

“The clear message to (Walker) from the department and its various levels of command staff was that officers needed to make more arrests related to gangsters and guns,” the suit states.

In roll calls and briefings, it was “all about the guns,” according to the suit, which further alleges that “minimums had to be met. At Metro, if an officer went more than a day or two without producing a gang or gun arrest, commanders made it clear that the officer’s production needed to increase, with more gang arrests meaning the best chances of promotion the suit alleges. “This was part of the methodology used to send and enforce the message: `Do as we say regarding our demands of arrests … or you are done here,”‘ the suit goes on.

Walker’s career was eventually “irreparably harmed” when the department allegedly retaliated against him beginning in January 2020 by ordering him to remain at home, removing his police powers, stripping him of his gun and serving him notice of an intent to downgrade his LAPD position, the suit alleges.

Though Walker’s position was not downgraded, the suit explains he believes the reason for that is the LAPD “realized that it acted hastily and improperly.” Nonetheless, other elements of alleged retaliation from the LAPD has damaged Walker’s reputation, his ability to promote and his chances to be selected for other units and specialized assignments.

Requiring specific numbers of certain types of arrests violates the arrest quota in the state Vehicle Code and also potentially violates other due process and constitutional requirements. Further, the LAPD’s decision to allegedly retaliate against Walker and other officers was done to send a message to the entire Metro officer population to be quiet and to not speak out regarding the potentially unlawful policies and practices, the suit states.

In addition to adversely impacting Walker’s health, according to the suit, “The retaliation will cause (Walker) to have to take a different career and retirement path … and will adversely affect his income, pension and other benefits.”

“Freedom Loving” Republicans Call Mandela Barnes Radical for Protesting the Police Murders of Black People (conduct that is Already illegal) and Seeking Enforcement of Existing Laws (the status quo)

WOW. NOW PROTESTING WHEN COPS MURDER BLACK PEOPLE IN THE STREET OR TURN THEIR “RIGHTS” ON AND OFF LIKE A LIGHT SWITCH IS “RADICAL??” WATCH YOUR MIND B/C DOGGY IS FUCKING WITH IT. BW SAYS:

Debate in a de-mockery cannot be stilled but it can be controlled and constrained within “proper” bounds. Doggy sets the table for us or “controls the spectrum of ideas” discussed by “citizens” - encouraging us to think within certain boundaries of “thinkable thought” while enforcing the belief that freedom reigns. Such debate or “resistance” is desirable for tyrants in a corporate police state because it keeps the peasants thinking they are participating, knowledgable or involved without providing them any real means to achieve freedom.” [MORE] Dr. Amos Wilson states, "the central aim of the ruling elite's ideology process is to define the "domain of discourse." That is, the corporate elite seeks to define the limits of "acceptable ideas" and to define what is worth talking about, worth learning, teaching, promoting, and writing about. Of course, the limits of the "acceptable," the "responsible," are set at those points which support and justify the interests of the elite itself." [MORE]

Elite whites (republicans and democrats) have drawn the parameters of Black dissent by programming Blacks to believe that what is actually common sense and essentially conservative is somehow "radical" politics. Therefore, Blacks reject common sense in rejecting "the radical" or what is perceived as "radical." Consequently, obedient Blacks will not pursue things that anyone else with common sense would pursue- because to do so would be radical. The resisters OR BLM are not resisting anything. They are expressing genuine, common sense outrage at an unaccountable system of white collective power: racist suspect jurors, judges, prosecutors, fellow cops, media and businesses that support, defend and finance a cop’s right to murder or harm Blacks.

THEY LOVE DOGMA AND BELIEFS NOT FREEDOM. From [DEPENDENTMEDIA] It's not really news that Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, vying to be the state's first Black U.S. senator, has on occasion strongly criticized American police. 

He's made his thoughts known in a number of forums. 

But it is news when it turns out that Barnes offered his harsh words about American law enforcement to a Russian-funded media outlet. Barnes, a Democrat, is taking on Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson next month. 

Johnson, of course, has had his own Russian problems.

Records show that Barnes did six interviews with RT, formerly Russia Today, in 2015 and 2016, during his second term as a state lawmaker. RT is a Russian state-controlled international news television network funded by the Kremlin.

In May 2015, for instance, Barnes told RT that police brutality is a “total epidemic” in the United States. A month earlier, he posted a screenshot of his interview with RT on the Baltimore protests, commenting, "People are tired of being targets."

Black Teen Sues Warren Police for $20M for Beating and Stomping Him to Make Arrest after Traffic Stop

From [HERE] Attorneys for a Black teenager have filed a $20 million federal lawsuit against the city of Warren, its police department and six officers after the teen was beaten, stomped on, bloodied and injured by arresting officers during a June traffic stop.

The officers arrested Tyler Wade, who was 17 at the time, on June 2 after they pursued a stolen car he was driving through several cities starting in Warren. Body camera footage shows the stop and arrest, including multiple officers pulling the teen from a white sedan and striking him repeatedly.

The teen's attorney, James King, said he believes race played a role in the incident and noted it appears all but one of the officers involved are White.

"What troubles me the most is that people in the city of Warren have committed far worse crimes than what Tyler was alleged of committing," King said. "Unfortunately, they don't look like Tyler, so they're not treated the same way upon arrest."

Wade, a Detroit resident, claims he did not know the car was stolen. At one point, the vehicle stalled on West Woodward Heights Boulevard and North Chrysler Drive in Hazel Park.

"The officer approaches, points the gun at Tyler, orders him to raise his hands and you'll see Tyler doing exactly that. He has his hands raised," said King, who is with the Cochran Firm in Detroit. "When he tries to turn the car off, the officer slaps his hands and tells him again not to move so Tyler did exactly that, didn't move."

Officers pulled Wade from the driver's seat from the passenger side and onto the ground.

"Once he's on the ground was when the beating starts," King said during a Wednesday interview with The Detroit News at his law office in downtown Detroit.

The video shows an officer punching Wade in the head and face nine times. He gets kicked in the back, stomped on and punched in the face again.

"All you hear Tyler saying is 'I'm not resisting, I'm putting my hands up,' and he keeps asking 'Why are you hitting me?' over and over again," King said.

Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer told WJBK-TV (Channel 2) in June that the department's use-of-force policy had been violated and an officer was given a "lengthy suspension" after an internal affairs division investigation.

Dwyer declined to comment on the lawsuit Wednesday but said there's “no question in my mind” that Wade was resisting officers.

Six officers are named in the lawsuit, listed only by their last names and their badge numbers.

In the body camera footage, one officer can be heard saying "all right" repeatedly as he attempts to handcuff Wade.

"The force that was used against him was unnecessary. It was excessive and it was unreasonable," King said.

Wade had a concussion, his braces were knocked out, blood vessels in his eye were ruptured and he has permanent scarring, headaches and blurred vision, his attorney said. Several of the injuries, including those to his mouth and eye, may require surgery in the future, King said.

"I don't remember that much about the situation because it was like, I blacked out during that moment when it happened," Wade said. "It's been kind of hard for me to remember things in general after the situation happened."

Wade was taken to a hospital after the arrest and more body camera footage shows an officer at the scene questioned by an emergency medical technician. The EMT asked an officer how Wade received the injuries to his face; the officer responded: "We did have to put him to the ground because he was resisting. ... His face may or may not have scraped the ground."

Wade had no criminal history at the time of the incident. The teenager pleaded no contest to receiving stolen property and fleeing from the authorities, which is not an admission of guilt,King told The News. He received probation in juvenile court and returned home, King said.

Wade was given a probationary sentence and has been taking it "one day at a time" at home since the incident.

The lawsuit accuses the defendants of gross negligence; assault and battery; violating Wade's constitutional rights; and intentionally inflicting emotional distress. Besides the monetary damages, the suit seeks "declaratory, equitable, and/or injunctive relief, including, but not limited to implementation of institutional reform and measures of accountability."

"What happened to Tyler was a clear violation of the Constitution. The force that was used against him was unnecessary, it was excessive and it was unreasonable," King said. "Even though we can't undo the harm that's been done, maybe we can make them whole again in the form of monetary damages."

King said Wade is lucky they have footage so it isn't his word against the officers'.

"Fortunately, in this event and in this matter, we have body cam, and the body cam showed exactly what happened," King said. "To see a grown man attack a child like that is troubling."

Wednesday was the first time Wade and his mother, Bianca, had watched the entire footage, which was displayed during a press conference at the Detroit law office. Tyler Wade said he has been traumatized and is now afraid of police.

"I don't like leaving the house anymore," Wade said. "I still haven't recovered. I don't know if I'll ever recover, honestly."

A bystander recorded the arrest from across the street, and the footage was widely circulated on social media in the weeks following the arrest. Bianca Wade didn't learn about what happened to her son until she was sent the bystander's video later that day. Her first reaction was: "Where's my son?"

"This was my first time seeing it up close, and it's hard to watch because this is your baby," she said.

Months after the incident, the Wade family said they have received no apology from the Warren Police Department. [MORE]

Witness says 15-year-old Black Teen Jaheim McMillan 'Had His Hands Up' When Gulfport Cops Shot Him to Death and there was 'No Urgency' to Save Him because the Ambulance Arrived without a Siren

From [HERE] The shooting of a Black teenager by police in Gulfport, Mississippi, has led to outcry from family members and activists who say the teen was unarmed with his hands up when he was confronted by police. The teen died days later after being taken off life support.

Police say 15-year-old Jaheim McMillan was armed and refused to drop his weapon when officers fired at him following a foot chase.

The hashtag #JusticeForJaheim has been trending on social media, with some posting photos of the teen bleeding out while handcuffed on the ground.

During the Oct. 6 incident, officers responded to a 911 call about five teens waving firearms at passing cars and began chasing one of them, according to Gulfport police chief Adam Cooper, who held a press conference on the officer-involved shooting Wednesday.

Cooper told reporters that one officer observed McMillan was armed and gave orders for him to stop and drop his weapon.

"McMillan did not comply," Cooper said.

Cooper also claimed McMillan "turned his body and weapon towards the officer," so the officer fired at him.

Debra Stout, a Long Beach, Mississippi, resident told ABC News she witnessed the encounter and said she saw McMillan with his hands up. She says she was waiting outside her home for a phone call when she heard the gunshots.

"I did hear gunshots, I ducked. I didn't know where they were coming from," Stout told ABC News in a zoom interview. "There were guys on the ground, then I noticed the boy who passed away at the front door, but before that I did see him with his hands up."

Stout says she could not see if McMillan was armed. "I didn't know if he was alive or dead," she said.

She said she believes there was a lack of urgency in the medical response to McMillan, because the ambulance, she said, arrived on scene without a siren on.

"I feel terrible. I probably have to get counseling," Stout told ABC News. "I dream about it every night."

Family members disagree with Cooper's claims that Jaheim was armed.

"If Gulfport Police Department had footage of my little cousin holding a gun, best believe it would already have been released," one family member, Court Elle Bolton, said in a Facebook post.

A spokesperson for the Gulfport Police Department declined to comment. Family members of McMillan did not immediately respond to ABC News' requests for comment.

The Mississippi Attorney General's office has jurisdiction on cases where officers use deadly force, Cooper said during the press conference. He said the Gulfport Police Department is "cooperating fully" with the AG's investigation and will conduct an internal investigation.

Family members of McMillan also claimed in a Facebook video they were initially barred from entering a hospital in Mobile, Alabama, where the teenager was airlifted to following the shooting. The hospital – USA Children & Women's Hospital – did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News. [MORE]

Jury of Sheeple Ok’s Murder of Black Woman in Parking Lot by White Baytown (TX) Cop. Cop Said He Feared for His Life as He Stood Over Pamela Turner and Shot Her 5X [Sheeple Believe Anything Cops Say]

From [HERE] A Texas police officer was acquitted Tuesday of an assault charge related to the 2019 fatal shooting of Pamela Turner, a woman with a history of mental illness, after the two struggled over his stun gun.

After deliberating for several hours over two days, a jury found Baytown Officer Juan Delacruz not guilty of aggravated assault by a public servantfor the May 2019 shooting death of Turner in the parking lot of an apartment complex where they both lived in suburban Houston.

Delacruz, who is Hispanic, shot Turner after a struggle with the 44-year-old Black woman that a bystander captured on video. Authorities say the confrontation began after Delacruz tried to arrest Turner on warrants for several misdemeanor charges.

The footage showed Delacruz standing over Turner and reaching down to try to grab her arms. Turner then yells, “I’m pregnant.” Moments later, something flashes as she reaches her arm out toward the officer. Suddenly, Delacruz pulls away and fires five gunshots.

The verdict upset Turner’s family. Her family and Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said jurors were prevented by the judge from hearing evidence related to past encounters Turner and Delacruz had and his knowledge about her struggles with mental illness.

“This is not fair, and we are tired of it,” said Antoinette Dorsey-James, Turner’s sister.

Ogg called Turner’s death a tragedy and said that when “the jury isn’t able to receive all the evidence, it’s hard for justice to be heard.”

Greg Cagle, one of Delacruz’s attorneys, said that the police officer shot Turner in self-defense only after she used his stun gun against him and that he feared for his life.

“Pamela Turner made a decision to evade arrest, to resist arrest, take a weapon from a police officer, not only take it but then use it against him,” Cagle told jurors Monday.

During closing arguments Monday, prosecutors questioned whether Delacruz was in danger, saying that he had been able to move several feet away after the confrontation and that he shot Turner while she was still on the ground.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Turner’s family, has said she was not pregnant but had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

“She wasn’t perfect, and we’ve not tried to hide that from you guys today,” prosecutor Timothy Adams told jurors. “But the fact is she did not deserve to die on the sidewalk, a few feet from her home.”

Crump, who in recent years has represented victims of police brutality and vigilante violence and has been the lawyer for the families of Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, called the jury’s verdict “a setback in the effort for equal justice under the law in America.”

After her death, rallies critical of the police shooting were held by Black Lives Matter Houston and community activists.

Delacruz, who has been with the Baytown police department since 2008, did not face any disciplinary action after the shooting and was placed on administrative assignment within the police department while awaiting his trial.

In a statement, the Baytown police department said it’s still doing an internal review of the shooting.

“While there may be differing opinions on the verdict, this case was tried in a court of law before a jury of Harris County citizens. We ask for respect of this legal process and for citizens to express themselves in a peaceful manner,” the police department said.

If he had been convicted, Delacruz would have faced from five years to life in prison.

A federal civil rights lawsuit Turner’s family has filed against Delacruz and the city of Baytown remains pending.

Lawsuit Claims a Provocative White Cop in a Rockford High School Attacked a Black Teen by Slamming Him Headfirst into a Hallway Floor, Causing Brain Damage

From [HERE] A high school student from Rockford, Illinois suffered a skull fracture after being body slammed on the floor by a police officer, per the Rockford Register Star. Though the incident happened last year, his injuries resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Now both the school and the officer are facing a lawsuit.

In fall of 2021, Parris Moore was wandering the hallways when he was supposed to be in class, the report says. Per the video footage, it seemed he had walked off after getting in disagreement with a teacher. The report stated he had been sent home the previous day for refusing to lower his hoodie. The assistant principal tried to stop Moore from walking but he resisted their attempts to reel him back.

Rockford officer Bradley Lauer, who was working as a school resource officer, got involved, resulting in Moore being dragged out of a room and slammed on to the ground head-first. Al Hofeld, Moore’s attorney, called the incident an evident abuse of force.

Read more about the situation from Rockford Register Star:

Hofeld said the family has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Rockford Public Schools, the city of Rockford, Lauer and school administrators. He argues the officer used excessive force and that he tried to play down the incident, telling family members that Moore had slipped and fell.

“Police treated a minor, non-violent discipline issue as a violent crime and used deadly force against a short, thin 14-year Parris Moore,” Hofeld said, describing Moore as a bright teen who has never been in trouble before at school.

The student was “knocked out cold, physically limp and motionless on the floor for several minutes,” Hofeld said. “The complaint alleges that Lauer’s use of excessive force gave (Moore) a traumatic brain injury that has resulted in what is now permanent, brain damage, including a changed personality and permanent deficits in memory, language, and fine motor control.”

Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara sided with Officer Lauer, claiming Hofeld’s law firm only released part of the story in an effort to work up the public. Though, any other details about the incident doesn’t change the fact that Moore sustained long-term injuries as a direct result of Lauer’s force. The footage says it all.

As if Black kids aren’t being criminalized in everyday life, they also face it at school. The US Department of Education reported Black students without disabilities made up 30 percent of school-related arrests between 2017 and 2018. The current interest in increasing police presences in schools for the sake of preventing a mass shooting ignores the racial profiling Black students face as a result. Leon Smith, executive director of Citizens for Juvenile Justice, told CNN that school resource officers just make the situation worse.

“Having the police officer there, they feel constantly watched and surveilled. They see what they perceive to be unfair searches and seizures and (police) encourage students to inform on each other. It ends up creating an environment of fear and distrust,” he said.

For any other students who look like Moore, this incident has certainly incited the emotions Smith described.

Liberal NYC Authorities Refuse to Admit they Murdered Daniel Prude but Settle for $12M. Provocative White Cops Put a Hood Over Handcuffed Black Mans Face, Piled On Top and Suffocated Him in the Street

From [HERE] News 8 has obtained the court documents involved in the $12 million settlement between the City of Rochester and the Daniel Prude Estate, following his death after being detained by several Rochester Police Department (RPD) officers in March 2020.

The settlement comes after an alleged cover-up of the officer bodycam footage, the release of the footage in September 2020, and weeks of protests calling for police accountability and systemic changes to how mental health crises are handled. While the City of Rochester will be settling the issue with a hefty sum, the paperwork explicitly states that “there will be no admission of liability” from the defendants. Once paid out, the lawsuit will be dismissed, the document says.

The settlement lists Nathaniel Mcfarland (in his capacity as administrator of the Prude Estate) as the plaintiff, and lists the defendants as both the City of Rochester and the following RPD officers: Mark Vaughn, Troy Taladay, Francisco Santiago, Michael Magri, Andrew Specksgoor, Josiah Harris, and “other as-yet-unidentified Rochester police officers.”

At 3:16 a.m. multiple officers and two emergency medical technicians arrived at Prude's location in southwest Rochester, where he was walking naked and bleeding. One officer exited his car and approached Prude, pointing a taser at him while asking him to get on the ground. Prude complied and was then asked by the officer to put his hands behind his back, to which he also complied. During the arrest, he said, "Yes, sir" several times to the officer.

At around 3:19 a.m., Prude became agitated, allegedly spitting at officers, and yelling, "Give me that gun", until one officer placed a spit hood over Prude's head. Prude demanded that they remove it. One minute later, Prude unsuccessfully attempted to stand up before being repeatedly pushed over by officers, who forcibly held him down for approximately two minutes and 15 seconds. Officer Mark Vaughn used his body weight and both hands to press the side of Prude's head to the pavement. Vaughn's report called this a "hypoglossal nerve technique" which, according to USA Today, "involves jamming fingers into a nerve below the jaw to cause pain and persuade a subject to comply". [excellent public service]. Officer Troy Talladay applied his knee to Prude's back. Another officer held Prude's legs. At the start of the hold, Prude said, "You're trying to kill me." The officers noticed liquid coming from Prude's mouth as he stopped speaking and moving. As Vaughn released his hold, he said "You good now?" Prude did not respond. Vaughn then pushed on his head with one hand for 45 seconds while the attending officers chatted.[Three minutes and ten seconds after the restraint began, one police officer remarked that he had been vomiting during the restraint and his chest compressions appeared to have stopped.

The Associated Press reported that police leaders pressed Rochester to keep the video of Prude's death secret, fearing a "violent blowback" if the video came out.

An emergency medical technician asked the officers to turn Prude on his back. Acknowledging that Prude was unresponsive, he instructed an officer to apply CPR, who did so. At 3:27 a.m., Prude was placed into an ambulance. While in transport to Strong Memorial Hospital, his heartbeat resumed, but he remained incapacitated from lack of oxygen and was later declared brain dead. He was taken off life support a week after the arrest, on March 30.

Prude had been evaluated at a hospital for odd behavior a day earlier, but he wasn’t admitted. His family called police because they were concerned about Prude’s safety after he bolted from the house.

Officers Troy Taladay, Paul Ricotta, Francisco Santiago, Andrew Specksgoor, Josiah Harris and Mark Vaughn, along with Sgt. Michael Magri, were suspended after Prude’s death became public [for public relations].    

Letitia James , the negro rolebot NY Attorney failed to file charges. The grand jury she empaneled and presented information to declined to charge the seven officers involved in Prude's death

James' office asked the grand jury to consider charges against only three of the seven officers at the scene. 

McFarland, who resides in Illinois, is one of Prude’s five children. His other children are daughters Junera Prude, Tashyra Prude, and Sharell Prude, and son Terrell Prude.

The City of Rochester agrees to pay $12 million to the plaintiff, the affidavit says, divided into two categories. Half is considered “Survival Claims”, and compensates the pain and suffering of surviving family. The other half is meant to settle grievances regarding the” Wrongful Death Claims,” and compensates “pecuniary injury,” or economic damages, to Prude’s five children.

The affidavit specifies that no funds are considered punitive damages. Punitive damages are assessed in instances where a defendant is being punished for wrongdoing.

From each half, the plaintiff’s counsel will be taking 33% in attorneys fees, for a total of $3,960,000. An additional $116,808.92 will be paid to the plaintiff’s counsel in reimbursements to the Prude Estate for the lawyer’s initial cost.

Daniel Prude’s brother, Rochester resident Joe Prude, was not part of the settlement, but told News 8 last week he was “happy for the settlement (and Daniel’s kids).”

Was it Reasonable for Detroit Cops to Shoot a Black Man 38X if He Had a 3 inch Knife and was 46 FT Away from Them? Strawboss says "Yes" but Can’t Explain Why Cops Handcuffed Porter Burks’ Corpse

ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY:

It is the job of the Straw- Boss to establish a formal organization to effectively and systematically carry out the wishes of the racist white supremacist power matrix while serving his own personal needs and ends through patronage power. 2) a ranking Snigger. 3) Toby. 4) “Safe-House Negro.” 5) responsible (to the white racist supremacist ideology) Negro. 6) the gatekeeper for Black professional positions gained through (acquiesced to) various sexual positions. 7) Pork Chop Boy. (See: McNegro)

AUTHORITIES SAY EXECUTION BY FIRING SQUAD WAS NECESSARY. From [HERE] and [HERE] Detroit police said they fired 38 shots in three seconds at Porter Burks, a 20-year-old schizophrenic Black man, as he was in an apparent mental health crisis, killing him.

During a press conference last Tuesday with Detroit Police Chief James White, snippets of body camera footage were shown of events leading up to the fatal shooting that occurred Sunday. The body camera footage shown involved a trained crisis intervention officer identified as Shawn in the video.

In the video, officers can be heard negotiating with Burks, who is alleged to have been armed with an 8-inch blade knife, ordering him to put it down and offering to get him some help.

"You're not in any trouble, just drop the knife and we'll get you some help," the officer said in the video.

Burks can be seen running toward officers in the video before he was fatally shot. Burks was too far from law enforcement for a taser to be effective, according to the police chief (?)

Detroit Police executive team director Christopher Graveline said there were numerous officers at the scene Sunday where Burks was killed, but only five had fired their weapons.

Due to the ongoing investigation by Michigan State police, White said he is not releasing the full names of the five officers involved [b/c its a secret'] but they are all currently on administrative leave.

His family has retained Attorney Geoffrey Fieger who said Burks' mom would need to be appointed as the head of the victim's estate before a lawsuit could be filed. Once the appointment is approved, the Southfield attorney said he would be filing a suit alleging negligence by the police officers, as well as violations against the civil rights act and the state constitution.

Fieger said the police version of events is “propaganda” designed to mislead the public. Burks has no criminal records or arrests. [MORE]

The police chief claimed that the knife Porter had was 8 inches. Attorney Fieger however, said it was a mere foldable pocked knife with a 3 inch blade. Feiger also stated that Porter was “a tremendous distance” from police when he was executed by them. Specifically he said Porter was an estimated 46 feet from the cops when they shot him. He described it as an execution by “firing squad.”

Feiger said Porter was lifting up his arms when he was shot. He also confirmed that police also tased him. The attorney said after shooting the man 38 times the cops handcuffed his corpse in the street. Police then inexplicably took the body to the hospital,. Fieger said the police chief should explain why the body was dropped off there without telling doctors or medical staff what occurred.

The attorney there should be at least 5 body camera videos and private “ring camera” camera video that police confiscated after the incident.

Feiger said he was treated worse than an animal. [MORE]

Burks was diagnosed with schizophrenia three years prior and was having a mental episode, according to his brother Damondo Anderson, who called the police for help.

In the remixed and edited body camera video from one of the five cops, Anderson tells police Burks was frantic and slashed his tires. Anderson claimed he was "concerned for people" because he was armed with a knife.

Police were aware of Burks' mental health condition, according to Graveline. They responded multiple times on separate occasions -- two incidents dating back to 2020 where Burks stabbed his siblings.

Feiger stated since police were aware of his past why didn’t they come prepared with their body armor, bullet proof gear or tasers to deal with a person holding a 3 inch foldable pocket knife?
