According to Amended Lawsuit, a Witness Saw Mobile (AL) Police Officers Murder Jawan Dallas as Black Man Begged Barbaric Cops for His Life

From [HERE] Lawyers for the family of a Theodore man who died during a confrontation with police last year have amended a wrongful-death lawsuit, naming the officers for the first time.

The family of Jawan “Jay” Dallas filed the federal lawsuit in December against the city of Mobile, alleging that police officers responding to a burglary call in July 2023 used excessive force. The civil complaint identified the two officers only as John Doe 1 and John Doe 2, and the Police Department has declined to name them.

At the time, attorneys for the Dallas family told reporters at a news conference that they had a good idea who the officers were but that the city had blacked out the names in material given to the lawyers.

“It’s inevitable that we’re gonna get the names, either tomorrow or next week,” attorney Harry Daniels said. “The names are coming. But this city has maintained their secrecy of not releasing the names of the officers. We know the names of the officers. But out of an abundance of caution, we want to make sure that they give it to us.”

The amended lawsuit seeks the same damages as the original one, $36 million – $1 million for each year of Dallas’ life. The new complaint names Officers Jarred Hutto and Christian Davilla as defendants. A grand jury last year cleared them of wrongdoing in the incident. But the lawsuit alleges that their actions caused his death.

“This amendment was made in keeping with our commitment to transparency and we firmly believe the lawsuit speaks for itself as we continue the fight for justice on behalf of Jawan Dallas’ family and his memory,” the lawyers said in a statement.

A Mobile police spokesman confirmed Hutto and Davilla remain on the force but added that the Police Department does not comment on pending litigation. However, the city has denied wrongdoing in court filings.

The lawsuit alleges that Hutto and Davilla questioned Dallas and a white man at Plantation Mobile Home Park about the burglary report despite the fact that they did not fit the description provided by a 911 caller.

The officers then unlawfully demanded to see Dallas’ identification, according to the allegations.

The civil complaint alleges that Davilla tackled Dallas after he began to run away. Both officers struck Dallas several times as he pleaded for them to stop, the suit alleges.

“Unbeknownst to Defendant Hutto and Defendant Davilla, their entire interaction with Jawan was observed by a female eyewitness who had a clear vantage point of the entire incident,” the suit states. “According to that eyewitness, Jawan Dallas was tased several times without any resistance to Defendant Hutto and Defendant Davilla.”

The lawsuit, quoting police body camera footage, contends that Dallas begged for help.

“I can’t breathe. … I don’t want to be George Floyd,” he said, according to the complaint.

According to the suit, no one from law enforcement or the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office ever spoke to the eyewitness.

The civil case is set for trial in April 2026. It was not immediately clear if the amended complaint would alter that schedule.

Judge Orders Louisiana State Police To Release Records Related Police Murder of Jabari Asante-Chioke. Black Man Shot 24X by Cops

From [HERE] A state judge has ordered Louisiana State Police to release records related to a 2021 shooting of a man that has spurred wrongful death and excessive force lawsuits. 

LSP has until early November to respond to nine public records requests submitted by Malikah Asante-Chioke, who was seeking information related to the shooting of her father, Jabari Asante-Chioke. According to news reports, a passerby saw him in distress, walking along a highway, carrying what was later determined to be a gun and a knife. 

Jabari Asante-Chioke, 52, was reportedly experiencing a mental health crisis and was shot 36 times. 

The Louisiana ACLU, which is representing Malikah Asante-Chioke, said the killing amounted to a “firing squad” and was an unjustifiably excessive use of fatal force. The ACLU said many of the shots struck Jabari Asante-Chioke after he was disarmed and seriously wounded.

Malikah Asante-Chioke’s public records requests pertained to her father’s shooting, personnel files of the involved officers and training materials related to interacting with people experiencing mental health issues. 

On November 21, 2021 Mr. Asante-Chioke, a 52-year-old Black man, was spotted by a concerned citizen at the intersection of Airline Drive and North Causeway Boulevard in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. Mr. Asante-Chioke was visibly distressed and was traveling along the highway on foot carrying in his hands what was later identified as a gun and a knife. The passer-by who saw Mr. Asante-Chioke thought he might be experiencing a mental health crisis and subsequently flagged down a police officer directing traffic around a nearby construction site.

What happened next was a tragedy that ended in a firing squad when Louisiana State Police and East Jefferson Levee District Police officers shot Mr. Asante-Chioke over twenty-four times. The ill-trained, ill-disciplined, and ill-supervised officers failed to de-escalate the encounter and failed to use less-than-lethal methods in accordance with their training and with state and federal law to subdue Mr. Asante-Chioke. The shooting was an unjustifiably excessive application of deadly force, with many of the gunshots suffered by Mr. Asante-Chioke impacting him after he was disarmed, heavily wounded, and incapacitated. Mr. Asante-Chioke’s weapon was unloaded. He never fired a shot.

This is just one more example of how police encounters with people of color often end with fatal shootings, and quick police officers are to use deadly force when people of color are involved. LSP is currently under a “a pattern and practice” investigation by the United States Department of Justice for engaging in racially motivated and discriminatory policing and excessive force. The Complaint brings 42 USC Section 1983 excessive force, wrongful death, and negligence claims against the officers, as well as a negligent supervision and training claim against the Superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, Colonel Lamar A. Davis, the Chief of the East Jefferson Levee District Police, Robert Garner, and the State of Louisiana. The case is currently pending before the Eastern District Court of Louisiana.

The defendants in this case are:

• Nicholas Dowdle, Louisiana State Police Officer.

• Jonathon Downing, East Jefferson Levee District Police Officer.

• Gerard Duplessis, East Jefferson Levee District Police Officer.

• Col. Lamar A. Davis, Superintendent of the Louisiana State Police.

• Chief Robert Garner, Chief of the East Jefferson Levee District Police Department.

• The State of Louisiana through the Department of Public Safety & Corrections [MORE]

“This is a victory for Malikah, and for the rights of all Louisianans,” said Nora Ahmed, legal director for the ACLU of Louisiana. “The law is clear: members of the public have the right to access public records, a right that is guaranteed by our state constitution and by our Public Records Law. That right must be respected.”

Phoenix Cops Repeatedly Punch, Taser Deaf Black Man w/Cerebral Palsy. Liberal Prosecutors Still Press Charges Though He Committed No Crime. DOJ Considers Oversight of Racist Police Department

From [HERE] A Black man, who is deaf and has cerebral palsy is facing felony aggravated assault and resisting arrest charges after he was repeatedly punched and tasered by a pair of Phoenix police officers.

The violent and rapid arrest of Tyron McAlpin raises serious questions and could serve as a test case for Phoenix and the Department of Justice as the two battle over whether the police department in America’s fifth-largest city needs federal oversight.

Acting on false claims from a white man under investigation, body camera video shows officers unexpectedly go after McAlpin, punch him in the head at least 10 times, Taser him four times, and wrap their arms around his neck.

“It’s hard for me to see how the city can come out and say with [a] straight face that it is meeting the DOJ report head-on when this man is being charged with assault on police officers for this incident,” said Jesse Showalter, one of McAlpin's attorneys.

But, Phoenix police and Maricopa County prosecutors continue to pursue a criminal case against McAlpin. During a recent preliminary hearing, Maricopa County Superior Court Commissioner Nick Saccone found there was probable cause for his August 19, 2024, arrest.

McAlpin was arrested by Officers Benjamin Harris and Kyle Sue.

In their police reports and court testimony, the two officers stated McAlpin was going to run, took a fighting stance, threw repeated punches, and wouldn’t comply with commands.

McAlpin's attorneys said body camera video and surveillance footage show the officers’ claims are false and said there’s an obvious explanation for why he couldn’t comply.

“The answer is easy. He’s deaf. He couldn’t understand what they were doing. And he had done nothing wrong,” Showalter said. “Everything I see in that video is Tyron just trying to avoid being harmed by these officers and that only makes them increase the escalation and the violence that they’re using.”

Among the problems cited by the DOJ, the following issues are also raised in McAlpin's arrest: Racial bias, excessive force, dangerous use of Tasers and chokeholds, and violating the rights of people with disabilities.

The violent arrest stems from a morning call from Circle K employees who reported that a White man was causing problems and wouldn’t leave the store, records show.

While being trespassed, the man claimed he was assaulted by a Black man and pointed across the street at McAlpin.

Officers Harris and Sue took the man’s claims at face value and left him to go after McAlpin. (The man’s assault claim was later refuted by store employees and surveillance video, records show.) 

After handcuffing McAlpin, his girlfriend arrived at the arrest and told the officers that he was deaf and had cerebral palsy, according to body camera footage. None of the officers at the scene included any information about McAplin’s disabilities in their reports.

Freedom of Movement for Blacks Restricted in Liberal City: Although Nassau (NY) Cops Knew They Stopped the Wrong Man They Threw 60 Yr Old Black Man's Stuff In the Street and Assaulted and Arrested Him

MAYBE THEY'RE NOT VOTING for ENOUGH LIBERALS IN CITY CONTROLLED BY ELITE, WHITE LIBERALS? 

From [HERE] It was three days before Christmas when Tyrone Phifer, a then-60-year-old Black man, was assaulted, abused and arrested by police in New York after they said he “fit the description” of another Black man named “Leroy” — who was 20 years his junior.

Last month, Phifer filed a lawsuit against the Nassau County Police Department and the officers involved in his arrest, including Sgt. Daniel Imondi, police officers Patrick McGrath, Quinn R. Knauer and Richard J. Fosbeck as well as Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick J. Ryder.

The lawsuit filed by Nassau County attorney Frederick K. Brewington in the Eastern District of New York accuses the police department of having a long history of racial profiling.

The Atlanta Black Star states,

According to available data in Nassau County … Black people are subject to traffic stops at 3.1 times the rate of white people; Black people are subject to Terry Stops at 4.7 times the rate of white people; and Black people are subject to being frisked at 6.8 times the rate of white people.

The lawsuit states that 3,656 Black people were arrested in Nassau in 2021, compared with 3,400 white people — even though Black people make up only 10.6 percent of the county’s population.

The Arrest

According to the complaint;

19. While leaving his podiatrist' s office, Plaintiff, TYRONE PHIFER was stopped by the NASSAU COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT and Defendants IMONDI and FOSBECK allegedly being a person named "Leroy." Plaintiff immediately identified himself and told the officer that his name was not Leroy but was Tyrone. The officer did not state his purpose or authority.

20. While Defendant officers alleged the first name of the person they were looking for was "Leroy" they did not disclose the last name nor the age, height, weight, skin tone, hair length or any other distinguishing factors for the person they alleged to be Leroy

21. Defendant officers were actually not looking for a person named Leroy, but according to police records, the complaint lodged with police the name of the person they were allegedly looking for was named Wilfred Elwin, who was approximately 40 years old, 6 feet tall, with short hair, with a thin build, dressed all in black, who talks to himself. Further, the claim was that the person being sought was carrying a black bag.

22. Mr. Phifer is neither named Leroy or Wilfred Elwin. At the time of this initial interaction with police, Plaintiff was 60 years old, was not dressed all in black, was wearing a baseball style cap, did not maintain a thin build, did not talk to himself and was not carrying a black bag.

23. In fact, Mr. Phifer was dressed in a grey shirt, his hair was not exposed, had on a black coat and blue jeans, he was carrying two brown paper bags and an umbrella that was brand new.

24. Initially, Defendant DANIEL IMONDI and Defendant POLICE OFFICER RICHARD
J. FOSBECK detained Plaintiff and immediately disrespected Plaintiff and stated to Mr. Phifer "Let's stop the bull shit, Leroy. You know what you did." Mr. Phifer, while being taken aback, had no idea to what these officers were referring. Unsure what was going on, Mr. Phifer turned around, noticed no one else was there, and said, "who? Me?" To which the Defendants officer disrespectfully said, "yea you! You know you beat up the woman!"

25. Mr Phifer explained to Defendant Fosbeck that he had the wrong guy and was not Leroy. The Defendants continued questioning Plaintiff using the false name and referring to Mr. Phifer calling him by the name of Leroy.

26. Mr. Phifer repeatedly stated that he was not named Leroy and that he wanted to be left alone. His request to be left alone was ignored.

27. Mr. Phifer wanted no contact with the police and he was fearful of them based on their disrespectful actions, comments, tone and behavior. Mr. Phifer attempted to walk away, however his path and freedom to move were blocked.
28. SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI, who was recording the events on his body camera, spoke to Mr. Phifer who was standing now with two officers around him~. Defendant Imondi, without permission, authority or legal basis advanced toward Plaintiff and reached toward him attempting to take Mr. Phifer's umbrella out of his hand, which also was holding two brown paper bags, which contained medical documentation and Christmas gifts given to him by his foot doctor's office.

29. As Mr. Phifer stepped away and pulled back his umbrella and he asked the officers, "what are you doing?" Defendant Imondi then snatched the umbrella out of Plaintiff's hand and threw it, along with his other belongings, on the ground as Defendant Fosbeck attacked Plaintiff from the rear using force to place him in a arm bar hold which restricted Plaintiff's use of his arms and his ability to be free to control his body movements.

30. Defendants made false statements and fabricated facts and claims in what they reported occurred. They Officers intentionally fabricated a story and informed prosecutors that:

"[t]hey asked him to put the umbrella down and refused to comply with Sergeant Imondi's verbal commands and still refusing to give identification and now became combative and more animated with his hands. For officer's safety, Sergeant Imondi attempted to remove the umbrella from arrestee's left hand, when arrestee pulled back the umbrella, Sergeant Imondi was able to remove the umbrella from defendant's left hand, the arrestee immediately went after Sergeant Imondi..."

31. Mr. Phifer did not give the officers permission to take his property, to physically touch him and most certainly did not agree to have his freedom and liberty restricted by these officers.

32. As Defendant IMONDI remained in arm's reach of Plaintiff, Defendant Fosbeck continued to escalate the situation by pulling Plaintiff, TYRONE PHIFER'S arms behind his back. SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI failed to intervene in this seizure of Plaintiff, but instead grabbed Plaintiffs belongings out of his hand while TYRONE PHIFER'S arms were pulled forcefully backwards and his body was in multiple directions.

33. At the time of the filing of this Complaint the version of this interaction that has been revealed to Plaintiff was that which was captured on Defendant IMONDI's body camera. This recording, which starts off with no sound, demonstrates that officers instigated unlawful contact and escalated the situation using force and abusing Mr. Phifer.

34. Upon information and belief, the Defendants knew that Plaintiff was not the person they were looking for prior to him being attacked and seized by Defendants.

35. Once the sound on the body camera of Defendant Imondi comes on, Mr. Phifer, who was presently restrained by officers was heard saying "Give me my stuff]. Look at my ID! Look at my prescription!" in an attempt to further justify that he had done nothing wrong, and to show the Defendant police officers that they were in the process of actively physically assaulting and detaining the wrong man.

36. In fact, Defendant Imondi went into Plaintiff's pocket and removed his telephone and then picked Plaintiff' s prescription offofthe ground that were pulled from Plaintiff' s grasp and read
it. At that point Defendants knew Mr. Phifer's identity and admitted same. They knew that Plaintiff was not the person that they claim they were looking for, yet they continued to assault and use force to limit Plaintiff's ability to control his own movements.

37. When SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI bent down and grabbed the prescription Mr. Phifer protested being abused and said "Get off of me! Get off of me! I didn't do anything! I just came out of the fucking doctor!" Defendant DANIEL IMONDI, who viewed Plaintiff' s prescription, confirmed in that moment that he was who he said he was which was "TYRONE PHIFER" and further established that Plaintiff's name was not "Leroy" or "Wilfred Elwin."

38. POLICE OFFICER FOSBECK proceeded to pull TYRONE PHIFER backwards towards Grand Avenue while this exchange was happening, ignoring that Sergeant DANIEL IMONDI had since confirmed that TYRONE PHIFER was not "Leroy"or "Wilfred Elwin."

39. As POLICE OFFICER FOSBECK pulled TYRONE PHIFER backwards, POLICE OFFICER FOSBECK caused TYRONE PHIFER to fall to move in a westerly direction whilst still

restraining TYRONE PHIFER's arms behind his back. As a result of the restraint and force applied to ~TYRONE PHIFER, he was made to fall backward directly on top of Defendant Fosbeck.

40. POLICE OFFICER RICHARD J. FOSBECK and SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI proceed to then use force to turn Mr. Phifer on his stomach into the prone position while TYRONE PHIFER continued to scream "What is going on! I didn't do anything! I had hip surgery! Why are you on me! I just walked out the fucking doctor! You have the wrong person! You have the wrong person!" to which SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI acknowledge this fact and responded, "I understand that!". Mr. Phifer also advised the Defendant Officers that he had hip surgery and that they were hurting him by them placing him on the ground and forcing his hands behind him, putting pressure on his hip, back, neck, face and arms.

41. Despite the admission that they had the wrong person, Defendant officers proceeded to handcuff Mr. Phifer and continue to physically restrain Mr. Phifer, forcing his body and his head

(face first) to the ground placing their knees and body weight on TYRONE PHIFER. Neither Defendant Imondi nor Defendant Fosbeck or any other officers attempted to intervene to stop the

other from their on going mental and physical abuse of Plaintiff.
42. Two more Nassau County Defendant officers arrived on the scene, OFFICER QUINN

R. KNAUER and OFFICER PATRICK MCGRATH.
43. Both Officer Knauer and Officer McGrath stood by and watched and listened to what

Defendants Imondi and Fosbeck were doing and failed to intervene. They failed to protect Mr. Phifer and allowed the abuse to which he was being subjected, and did so despite their obligation

to ensure that Mr. Phifer's person and rights were not being violated.
44. At the same time either or both Officer Knauer or McGrath joined in on using force in restraining the liberty of Mr. Phifer and arresting him.

45. Defendant POLICE OFFICER DANIEL IMONDI then untruthfully and contrary to the indisputable evidence, continued to fabricate and told TYRONE PHIFER "When I tried to talk
to you, you tried to swing" and TYRONE PHIFER immediately responded, stating "NO I DIDN'T!"

46. The officers then using disrespectful language and speaking to Mr. Phifer as though he were an animal, aggressively picked Plaintiff up and then sat TYRONE PHIFER on the bench located nearest to him while an officer was heard yelling "sit him up" and telling Mr. Phifer to "sit.".

47. The Defendant officers without cause or legal basis placed handcuffs on TYRONE PHIFER with no regard for the fact that the entire situation was wrongfully created by the carelessness, recklessness, complete disregard and incompetence of their own actions and escalation of the entire situation.

48. Mr. Phifer continued to tell the officers: "I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything." The officers while admitting that Mr. Phifer did not do anything wrong responded "I didn't say you
did Tyrone." Mr. Phifer responded to this admission by asking, "So why the fuck are you all attacking me?".

49. POLICE OFFICER PATRICK MCGRATH then handed TYRONE PHIFER's New York State Identification card to Defendant SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI, which again confirmed that Mr. Phifer was not the person they claimed they were looking for.
50. Defendants FOSBECK, DANIEL IMONDI, KNAUER AND PATRICK MCGRATH had all positively confirmed that they had detained, tackled, assaulted, restrained, kneeled on, screamed at, handcuffed, falsely accused, intimidated, and harassed the wrong person.

51. And yet, despite this acknowledgment, once again, the Defendants did not stop their abuse of Plaintiff.

52. TYRONE PHIFER once again informed Defendants including Defendants McGrath, Imondi, Fosbeck ans Kanuer that he was not Leroy.

53. This information was met by no response from any of the officers, just a long period of silence.

54. Two women from the podiatrists' office (Baldwin Food Care), where TYRONE PHIFER had been for a doctor's appointment earlier that morning, came out of their office to see what was going on and' attempted to gather Mr. Phifer's scattered belongings which Defendant Officer had strewn on the ground.

55. Not only were. the women's efforts met with a level of callous disregard for Mr Phifer's belongs, which include Christmas gifts which the women had just provided to Plaintiff, but POLICE OFFICER FOSBECK wrongfully stated "He's [Mr. Phifer] out of control so just step back." This was an attempt to wrongfully justify the wrongful actions taken and to coverup Defendants treatment of TYRONE PHIFER. These statements and directives were made to place fear in the women and to mask the abuse of the police violence, force and mistreatment in which they had engaged. It was also an attempt to suggest that Mr. Phifer deserved to be treated this way by being tackled, restrained and detained on his way home from the doctor and that he was a danger
to them.

56. Mr. Phifer promptly told the officers that they jumped on him. To which Defendants wrongfully state that no one jumped on him.

57. POLICE OFFICER FOSBECK went on to tell TYRONE PHIFER "You fit a description" and SERGEANT DANIEL IMONDI chimed in to say "You fit the description!" to which TYRONE PHIFER responded "so every black man fits the fucking description?"

Phifer was charged with obstruction of governmental administration, and it took 10 months for the charges to be dropped. He was arrested a little after 10 a.m., then transported to a local hospital where he says he remained handcuffed to a gurney until 8 p.m.

Phifer, now 63, says he was left traumatized by the incident and can no longer go to medical appointments or shop for groceries without family members. 

“I thought I was really going to be hurt, or accused of something they knew I didn’t do,” Phifer told Newsday. “It really bothered me.”

The lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District of New York, accuses the cops of fabricating evidence, false arrest, malicious prosecution, abuse of process and failure to intervene, the latter count referring to the cops who showed up as he was being abused and either stood by to watch or joined in the abuse.

“That morning was the worst day of my life,” Phifer said in a press conference last month. 

“I feared for my life,” further elaborated the National Guard veteran and grandfather of eight.

Advocates Request DOJ to Investigate Dallas Police. Present Data Showing that Most People Killed by Cops are Black but Blacks are Only 24% of the Population in City Controlled by Elite Liberals

From [HERE] A local activist group is calling on the federal Department of Justice to investigate the Dallas Police Department for what it calls unconstitutional policing. 

The CBS News Texas I-Team exclusively obtained a copy of the formal complaint sent to the DOJ by Mothers Against Police Brutality. In the letter submitted Thursday, the activist group asks for a federal investigation into what it describes as "a city that prioritizes hiding disturbing trends of police violence from public view."

The DOJ has investigated other departments in recent years, including in Minneapolis after George Floyd's murder in 2020. In some cases, these investigations have led to major reforms.  

The I-Team reached out to the Dallas Police Department for comment Thursday afternoon. A department spokesperson said the complaint filed with the DOJ has not been shared with Dallas police, but added the department takes the issues addressed in the complaint seriously and has "worked proactively for years to promote and uphold the highest standards of policing." 

The complaint cites what the group says is extensive data analysis of police records that reveal Dallas' use of deadly force disproportionately falls on Black and Latino populations. According to an analysis by the group, independently confirmed by CBS News, 49% of Dallas police shootings involved Black residents between 2003 and 2017. In cases when the victim was unarmed, 59% of people shot by police were Black. In Dallas, 24% of the population is Black.  

The 19-page complaint also accuses Dallas police of a "half-century of unaccountable police brutality." From 1990 to 2021, according to police data referenced in the letter, Dallas police conducted internal investigations on more than 3,000 cases of alleged excessive force. Internal investigators determined officer wrongdoing in less than 200, or 6%, of those cases.  

The complaint references the case history of former officer Christopher Hess as an example of how activists say Dallas police officials have allowed officers' use of force to go unchecked. 

Hess had 42 misconduct complaints and had been investigated 10 times for using excessive force during 10 years with DPD. He remained on patrol until January 2017, when he shot and killed 21-year-old Genevive Dawes while checking on a call for a suspicious vehicle. 

Police body camera video from the shooting shows officers were unable to see inside the parked SUV because it was dark and the windows were fogged. Police said a license plate check indicated that the vehicle was stolen. After failing to respond to commands from officers, the driver, later identified as Dawes, turned it on and slowly backed up. Hess fired his weapon into the SUV 12 times.

After an internal investigation, Hess was fired six months later. He was indicted by a grand jury for aggravated assault by a public servant but was found not guilty in 2020. The I-Team reached out to the attorney who represented Hess in his criminal case but did not hear back.

The founders of Mothers Against Police Brutality, Collette Flanagan and John Fullinwider, signed the letter to the DOJ, along with a civil rights attorney and a civil rights researcher. [MORE]

Study Finds that when DC Police Use Force, 94% of the Time It Involves Black People. Also, Blacks are 12X More Likely to be Killed by Cops than White People in City Controlled by Elite, White Liberals

THE ABOVE IS FROM THE MPD Use of Force Overview MANUAL FOR THE POLICE ACADEMY.

From [HERE] Out of all use of force incidents by police in 2023, a DC government study found that 94% of all the people involved in these incidents were Black, according to a report released on Tuesday. 

This statistic from the DC Office of Police Complaints was higher than a 2022 report of use of force incidents, which showed 90% of incidents involved use of force against Black people.

Use of force can be everything from MPD officers holding down or handcuffing suspects, to police use of batons, dogs, tasers or guns. 

"Tactical takedowns were the most frequent type of force reported in 2023," the report from DC Office of Police Complaints says. "Accounting for 39% of uses of force." 

Out of the 1,142 use of force incidents in 2023, most of these incidents did not involve the use of guns. Police fired their guns at eight different people in 2023 and a total use of four dogs; killing one and all four dogs in separate incidents. 

"A total of 1,017 MPD officers reported using force in 2023," the report says. "Which is roughly 25% of all MPD officers." 

The total number of use of force incidents increased by 11% from 2022 to 2023.

Additionally, according to Mapping Police Violence Black people are 12x more likely to be killed by police than white people in DC. [MORE] Also Black people accounted for more than 70% of the people stopped by police in the city.

Another statistic found that only a quarter of the incidents where police used force involved a subject assaulting a DC police officer.

These numbers are vastly disproportionate from the population of Black people or African Americans who live in Washington, D.C. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, Black people make up 44.4% of the population of D.C.

DC is a city controlled by elite, white liberals. That is, elite white liberals control and own all major resources (such as banks, local mainstream media, major real estate, ports, utilities, large corporations and businesses, all major industry, major non-profits, unions, hospitals, etc) and own most major real estate and anything else of substantial material value. [MORE]

According to the DC Office of Police Complaints' report, 45% of the officers who reported using force were Black. 52% of the department is Black. (Black cops brutalize and harm black people at a rate nearly equal to white cops. “There Is Now A Large Body Of Evidence Measuring Whether The Race Of The Individual Officers Affects Their Use Of Force. Most Studies Show No Effect. More Distressingly, A Few Indicate That Black Officers Are More Likely To Use Force Or Make Arrests, Especially Of Black Civilians.” [MORE]

Straw Boss Obama Selling FEAR and Dogma Tickets: Claims, ‘Something is Wrong with Black Men Who Don’t Support Kamala’ - a Golden Retriever in Step-N-Fetchit Servitude to Her Elite Liberal Masters

TIME FOR CHANGE, GET THE F*** OFF OBAMA D****

According to FUNKTIONARY:

golden retrievers – a dysphemism describing a variation of the old “Step-N-Fetchit” racist caricature to be revived (in the very near future) in a labor context vis-à-vis Afrikan-Americans and other majorities (so-called minorities).

shenanigger – a Negro (neo-lawn-jockey) who carries out Step-n-Fetchit type activities/actions (shenanigans) for the dominant immoral minority (the psychopathic white power semi-organism), i.e., the Rhodes, Rothschild Anglo-Saxon Zionist power clique, unknowingly at the expense of him/herself and knowingly at the expense (sell-out/buy-out) of his/her people and culture.

F.E.A.R. – False Evidence Appearing Real. 2) Forfeiture Endangers American Rights. 3) Familiar Escape Avoidance Reoccuring. 4) Fake Experienced As Real. Fear invokes our reptilian brain—fight or flight—response that leads to two possible actions: (Flight mode) – Forget Everything And Run, or (Fight mode) – Face Everything And Rise. How we respond is a choice we all have. Fear is not of the unknown, but of losing the known and one’s investment therein. Fear is often disguised as procrastination. Fear often hides behind foolishness and fear often represents the status quo. Fear plays a much larger role in our decision making than most would like to admit. There’s fear of failure, fear of being left out, fear of acceptance, fear of success, fear of being exposed, fear of being alone, fear of ego-death, fear of dying, fear of being wrong, fear of being unpopular, or just a fear of change. Fear is rampant, wears many faces and is at the bottom of many decisions that the fearful routinely make. Fear-based thoughtforms, behaviors, and thought patterns drain your energy and inhibit you from freeing, clearing, and rechanneling the requisite energy necessary to face the unknown. Fear is a formulated lie, a lopsided perception distorting, clouding or veiling the hidden implicate order and balance. We’re living in a four-lettered world—FEAR!

Dogma – Am God (spelled backwards). 2) a puppy’s mother—a bitch. 3) instructions on what to believe and how to believe it. 4) truth pressed and starched to appear crisp. 5) any kind of truth that justifies the institutionalized structure of the organization. Reality isn’t wrinkle-free. Every dogma has its day—and a dogma that chases its catechism, will definitely be busy. Dogma is the edifice of ignorance (in the form of static superstitions) and bastion of banality inside your thinking apparatus and thinking process. Dogma is the expression of the belief system that must be adhered to; hatred is the enforcer. Dogma is the rulebook of the particular truth that is being enforced by hatred. The truth that is played with is the game— the rules that enforce how the game is played is the dogma. Dogma is a protector of objective truth; and truth is a prophylactic for reality. Dogma is the bug (fatal flaw) and true believers are the replicating viruses that propagate and distort the internal model of the nature of reality directly experienced within nondual consciousness. People perceive reality’s forms as direct threats on (and to) their truths because they are merely living (in truth at the mythic or rational level of consciousness) and not Alive (living God in reality) at the higher states, levels or realms of consciousness. Nondual consciousness unfolds itself the highest realization that a divine being can experience appearing-as-process in the space-time continuum. “Any time you have a doctrine where that is the truth that you assert, and that what you call the truth is unassailable, you’ve got doctrine, you’ve got dogma on your hands. And so Cosmos is…an offering of science, and a reminder that dogma does not advance science; it actually regresses it.” ~Neil DeGrassi Tyson. Dogma is the straightjacket of the spirit. Before you ever had the opportunity to even ask the question, the answer was given to you. Dogma is believing in borrowed answers to questions you never had the chance to formulate or ask. True believers are people who believe in answers without asking. Believing in borrowed answers is convenient and comfortable. Questioning is never comforting; to question one has to go within oneself. Dogma’s staying power lies in its ability to feed on any experience, digest, then defecate it while pronouncing it as a piece of duty. It secretly enriches itself on that it openly despises. A man of dogma is a dead man, and he clings to dead leaves (beliefs and scriptures) and dead ideologies. [MORE]

Sleeping Toms Tell Congress, 'Trump Will Destroy Schools in Detroit.’ In Reality, a Court Found that “Illiteracy Is The Norm" for Black Kids in Public Fool System in City Controlled by Elite Liberals

ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY: 

public schools – the instrument of Hidalgo (the “Greater System”) and the Corporate “State” whereby readers, writers and counters are produced and certified as qualified to understand orders and obediently carry them out… the tenth gang-plank of the Communist Manifesto. (See: Compulsory Schooling, Indoctrination, Authority & Formal Education)

Public School System – a place where children are having unprotected education. 2) a syndromatic exercise in conformity and blind obedience to so-called “authority” (disguised repression). 3) systematic planned violence meted out on children and young adults—held hostage and hostile—daily, hourly, quarantined from the natural rhythm of things in life through Pavlovian bells and shrink-wrapped prefabricated and curriculum and distorted history. 4) a training boot camp for life-long slavery and indentured servitude to gangbankers and the Corporate State in a society created and based in violence, governed by fear, propaganda, psychogenic money and power.

From [HERE] False claims that Donald Trump supports Project 2025 are common among Michigan Democrats.

Even the state’s attorney general repeated the lie on the campaign trail in hopes of convincing voters the former president backs the deeply unpopular policy tome that a conservative think tank developed.

But the erroneous talking point got even louder last month when Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) co-chaired a hearing on “the dangers of Project 2025.”

The House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee hearing involved only Democrats, who repeatedly claimed Trump has embraced Project 2025 and intends to implement it if elected.

This spectacle was not a meeting of the House Steering Committee, which can refer legislation to the full House. It was merely a one-party showcase, carried out on the public’s dime.

A Black Detroit educator recently told the showcase he is "terrified" at what a second Trump term as president could bring for America's public schools. 

Rodney Fresh, who is a second-generation instructor, teaches ninth-grade U.S. history, 11th-grade world history and Advanced Placement African American studies in Detroit, said parts of the Republican agenda appear to call for dismantling the public education system. He added the transition plan known as Project 2025 would "kick the ladder out from under" students who need it the most and eliminate the federal Department of Education.

"Why do they want to weaken public schools? If you ask me, it's because they fear what public schools do - we teach critical thinking, honest history and tolerance - and because diverse, educated citizens threaten their power," he asked. He warned that under Project 2025, classes on African American history would be censored, help for students with disabilities would be eliminated, and programs like Head Start, one of the most successful preschool programs of its kind, would be cut. [MORE]

“At its core, Project 2025 is a well-funded attempt to privatize public education and kick the ladder of opportunity from under those who need it the most,” Fresh told the panel.

This is in reference to the project’s proposal to make the DC school voucher program universal, which would allow taxpayers’ education funds to follow students to private and religious schools.

In Michigan, this plan would face a constitutional roadblock. By a 69% to 31% vote in 2000, Michiganders banned school vouchers. This has never been repealed.

Multiple times in the hearing, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) called Project 2025 a “dangerous, dastardly and diabolical plan.”

There was just one problem: The entire hearing, and every word spoken in it, were all based on the falsehood that Trump supports Project 2025 and would enact the platform if elected.

Despite Democrats’ insistence in the hearing and on the campaign trail across the country, Trump has emphatically distanced himself from Project 2025 more than once, including on the debate stage Sept. 10.

“I have nothing to do with Project 2025,” Trump said that night when Kamala Harris declared he “intends on implementing” it. He’s called some of it “absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.” Nevertheless, liberal conspiracy theorists falsely attribute to him sponsorship of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 (as USA Today and CNN have acknowledged).

Another problem is that public education for Black children is already horrible - Trump didn’t do it. He cannot be the source of education problems in any city controlled by elite, white liberals who own nearly everything of material value and function as the bosses, sellers, bankers, employers, supervisors, landlords etc of most Black residents - such as Detroit. The servant education provided to Black children nationwide occurs predominantly in public school systems in urban cities controlled by elite white liberals. Mr. Fresh’s dogmatic liberal beliefs are separating him and others like him further from reality. Elite white liberals have propped up Trump in the minds of its believers as the source of all their problems and things to be feared. He represents a cartoonic escapegoat for Black people to avoid responsibility for examining their true reality and actually attempting to solve actual, tangible, material problems. As explained by FUNKTIONARY,  “a sleepin’ Tom lives and reacts out of the mind or asili of another; not their own.” Sleeping Toms, such as Mr. Fresh, view and react to the world around them out of the lens or asili of elite, white liberals. Our true reality must be viewed within the context of the system of racism white supremacy and system of power supremacy.

The public school system for Black children functions as a ‘public fool system.’ It churns out Blacks who function as servants to elite whites in some capacity. It produces millions of individuals who can barely read and therefore barely think, participate in economic life and solve their own problems. Aligning themselves with elite white liberals has been a political disaster for Black people in all areas of people activity. The results are omnipresent but Toms would rather look away and cling to the unchallenged assumptions controlling their minds.

A 136-page class action lawsuit provided details about the public education imposed onto Black children in Detroit;

“the schools are schools in name only, characterized by slum-like conditions and lacking the most basic educational opportunities that children elsewhere in Michigan and throughout the nation take for granted. Plaintiffs sit in classrooms where not even the pretense of education takes place, in schools that are functionally incapable of delivering access to literacy. This abject failure makes it nearly impossible for young people to attain the level of literacy necessary to function—much less thrive—in higher education, the workforce, and the activities of democratic citizenship. The abysmal conditions and appalling outcomes in Plaintiffs’ schools are unprecedented. And they would be unthinkable in schools serving predominantly white, affluent student populations. In short, the schooling afforded to Plaintiffs is both separate and unequal.”

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that authorities had been so negligent toward the educational needs of Detroit students that children had been “deprived of access to literacy.” [MORE] The complaint further explained,

“Plaintiffs’ schools have failed them at every stage of the educational system. In the primary grades, Plaintiffs’ elementary schools—Hamilton and Experiencia—have failed to deliver access to the foundational literacy skills of letter- and word-recognition and phonetics. For example, in the third grade at Hamilton, only 4.2% of students scored proficient or above on the State of Michigan’s 2015-16 English assessment test, compared with 46.0% of third-grade students statewide. In practice, this means that many students have a vocabulary of only a couple hundred words. Some students cannot even sound out letters. Last year, the only books in the third-grade classroom at Hamilton were picture books, until the teacher purchased others with her own money more than halfway through the year. Likewise, at Experiencia, only 9.5% of third-grade students scored proficient in English, as compared to 46.0% of third-graders statewide. A number of second and third graders were still working on handwriting and sounding out the letters of the alphabet. When students without basic literacy skills move on to middle and high school, they lack the foundation necessary to build on these skills and attain more sophisticated and grade-level appropriate comprehension and fluency in the higher grades.”

“The alarming outcomes in Plaintiffs’ schools are a predictable consequence of the State’s consignment of Plaintiffs to chaotic, under-resourced, and unsafe schools that lack the necessary learning and teaching conditions for effective delivery of literacy instruction. Plaintiffs’ schools do not have appropriate literacy programs and curricula to effectively teach literacy in the first instance, or to intervene and remediate when students fall behind. Nor does the State operate any system of accountability to ensure that students are delivered access to literacy, are assigned to classrooms where access to literacy can be delivered by qualified and trained teachers, and are identified when they fall behind to receive professionally appropriate interventions. Instead of providing students with a meaningful education and literacy, the State simply provides buildings—many in serious disrepair—in which students pass days and then years with no opportunity to learn to read, write, and comprehend.”

The plaintiffs also explained schools do not have appropriate textbooks, basic school supplies and classrooms are stuffed with as many as fifty students and often do not have enough chairs and desks. Detroit schools also have; “extreme classroom temperatures” regularly exceeding 90 degrees during both the summer and winter due to malfunctioning furnaces and, at other times during winter, “frequently so cold that students and their teachers can see their breath and must wear layers of winter clothing indoors. Students and their teachers cannot receive or impart literacy instruction under such conditions.”

Said schools are have Vermin infestations. Mice, cockroaches, and other vermin regularly inhabit Plaintiffs’ classrooms, and the first thing some teachers do each morning is attempt to clean up rodent feces before their students arrive. Hallways and classrooms smell of dead vermin and black mold, Unsafe conditions throughout the school. Perilous conditions throughout these schools further destabilize the environment and pose additional obstacles to achieving literacy. The drinking water in some of Plaintiffs’ schools is hot, contaminated and undrinkable. Bathrooms are filthy and unkempt; sinks do not work; toilet stalls lack doors and toilet paper. In some classrooms, ceiling tiles and plaster regularly fall during class time. In one elementary school, the playground slide has jagged edges, causing students to tear their clothing and gash their skin, and students frequently find bullets, used condoms, sex toys, and dead vermin around the playground equipment. In another school, fires have broken out in hallways and the school lacks the capacity to notify students and teachers and even lacks regulation fire safety equipment. In the same school, the swimming pool has been unusable for over six years, sitting empty except for broken tiles, filth, and dead rodents.”

Untapped Relief: FEMA Is Sitting on Billions of Unused Disaster Funds

From [HERE] Although the Federal Emergency Management Agency told Congress last month that it had $4 billion in its Disaster Relief Fund, officials also warned that the Fund could have a shortfall of $6 billion by year’s end, a situation FEMA says could deteriorate in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

While FEMA is expected to ask Congress for new money, budget experts note a surprising fact: FEMA is currently sitting on untapped reserves appropriated for past disasters stretching back decades. 

An August report from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General noted that in 2022, FEMA “estimated that 847 disaster declarations with approximately $73 billion in unliquidated funds remained open.” 

Drilling down on that data, the OIG found that $8.3 billion of that total was for disasters declared in 2012 or earlier.

Such developments are part of a larger pattern in which FEMA failed to close out specific grant programs “within a certain timeframe, known as the period of performance (POP),” according to the IG report. Those projects now represent billions in unliquidated appropriations that could potentially be returned to the DRF (Disaster Relief Fund).”

These “unliquidated obligations” reflect the complex federal budgeting processes. Safeguards are important so that FEMA funding doesn’t become a slush fund that the agency can spend however it chooses, budget experts said, but the inability to tap unspent appropriations from long-ago crises complicates the agency’s ability to respond to immediate disasters.

‘Age Old-Game’

“This is an age-old game that happens and it doesn’t matter what administration is in,” said Brian Cavanaugh, who served as an appropriations manager at FEMA in the Trump administration. “It’s unfortunate how complex disaster relief has become, but it’s skyrocketing costs.”

Cavanaugh said neither action from Congress nor an executive order from the White House would be required to tap those funds because FEMA is operating on the sort of continuing resolutions Congress routinely authorizes. If the money is part of “immediate needs funding,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas could draw from the billions in untapped money to help the victims of Helene and then inform lawmakers he was compelled to do so, leaving elected officials facing charges they sought to pinch pennies when Americans were desperate.

From [HERE] State representatives and senators in the Carolinas were briefed on weather modification technology and have come to the conclusion that Hurricane Helene was a weather weapon deployed against the American people, according to a geoengineering expert.

Dane Wigington joined Ret. Col. Douglas MacGregor’s podcast on Monday to reveal that he briefed numerous lawmakers about patented Defense Department-linked technology used to control major weather events like hurricanes, and the lawmakers were left stunned over what they heard.

“I have an hour conference call yesterday with the representatives and senators from the Carolinas, and we presented the data to them to answer their questions about how this manipulation occurs,” Wigington said.

“They realized this was not a natural event. They’re trying to digest the fact that their states were literally under assault from weather modification operations that are clearly connected to the DoD operations.”

They’re in shock. Because when you realize you’re literally at war with those who control the federal government, how does one digest that?”

“And we can speculate again about the agendas and objectives being carried out but the fact that the storm was manipulated is absolutely inarguable,” he added.

Wigington went on to explain how the technology to stop hurricanes from occurring “has existed for decades with the manipulation of atmospheric pressure zones.”

“HAARP in Alaska is one example many people are familiar with,” he said. “That’s an ionosphere heater. That’s a weapon of mass destruction, period. It can cause an electrical chain reaction in the ionosphere, which heats it to extraordinarily high temperatures, which causes the atmosphere to bulge up and down. The downward push creates a high-pressure dome that can steer the jet stream, and the same type of manipulation can create low-pressure zones.”

“When they have this type of power over the climate system, they can make or break these storms anytime they want. And again, what we see now is storms kept weaker as they’re over the ocean because they’re harder to steer until they reach the land-based network of transmitters, and then we have rapid intensification.”

Wigington then explained how Hurricane Helene was “directed” to the Southeastern states using this advanced technology.

“The bottom line is it was directed there as the transmission recordings clearly show. They kept the moisture corralled there to deluge in the same location. So again, these are patented technologies, and the fact that we have the entire so-called meteorological community denying that this is going on to protect their paychecks and pensions is absolutely criminal at this point,” he said.

White Presumacy Rebutted. Jury Rejects Austin Cop's Self-Defense Claim; Guilty of “Deadly Conduct” in Murder of Mauris DeSilva. Sri Lankan Man Wasn't An Imminent Threat When Officer Fatally Shot Him

From [HERE] A jury on Saturday found Austin police officer Christopher Taylor guilty of deadly conduct for the 2019 shooting death of a man who was carrying a knife.

It is the first time an officer has been found criminally liable in Travis County for an on-duty fatal shooting, and it comes just two weeks after former Houston Police officer Gerald Goines was convicted of felony murder after evidence showed that he lied on a search warrant affidavit used to carry out a raid in which two people were killed. 

A judge has not yet scheduled a sentencing hearing for Taylor, who faces up to 10 years in prison for the third-degree felony. A Harris County jury is still deciding what sentence Goines, who was rushed to the hospital last week during his proceedings, should face. 

Police are rarely convicted of crimes related to alleged excessive force or other misconduct across the United States. In the last decade, though, there have been several convictions of law enforcement officers in Texas. In 2022, a former Fort Worth police officer was found guilty of manslaughter for shooting a woman in her mother’s backyard. And last year a former Arlington police officer pleaded guilty to negligent homicide after he shot and killed a man who was driving away from a traffic stop; he was sentenced to probation.

But the verdict against Taylor, reached by 12 jurors after more than three days of deliberations, stands out because the Austin Police Department had cleared him of any wrongdoing related to the incident years ago. He was allowed to return to duty a few months later and has more recently been promoted to the rank of detective. 

“Today is a sad day for Travis County and for the law enforcement profession,” said Michael Bullock, president of the Austin Police Association, in a statement to the Chronicle. “APD Detective Taylor being found guilty for lawfully defending themselves against an armed individual puts our entire City at risk.”

Taylor’s defense attorneys did not respond to requests for comment. One of the attorneys, Doug O’Connell, posted on social media as the jury was still deliberating that Taylor’s legal team was “baffled.”

“This is the most clear cut self defense case involving an officer we’ve seen,” he posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. (lol. what a joke that is)

The shooting occurred on July 31, 2019 at a luxury condo building in downtown Austin. A resident called 911 to report that his neighbor, 46-year-old Mauris DeSilva, was walking around holding a steak knife. DeSilva, a neuroscientist who had immigrated to the U.S. from Sri Lanka years earlier, had a history of mental health issues.

Four Austin Police officers responded to the 911 call and encountered DeSilva on the 5th floor of the building, just outside the elevator doors. He had his back to them and a knife held to his own throat, according to body-camera footage that was played during the trial. As they yelled simultaneous commands including “Drop the knife” and “show us your hands,” he turned toward them, lowered the knife and took a step in their direction. One officer deployed his Taser, while  Taylor and Officer Karl Krycia fired their weapons multiple times. 

The shooting got scant news coverage at the time, and a few months later, the police department determined that Taylor and his colleagues had appropriately acted in self-defense. Travis County prosecutors also told DeSilva’s family later that summer that they did not believe a grand jury would find probable cause that Taylor or Krycia had committed a crime. 

But the following year, after a new Travis County district attorney, Jose Garza, took office, a grand jury indicted both officers for murder and deadly conduct. Prosecutors ultimately decided to move forward only with the deadly conduct case against Taylor. Both charges are still pending against Officer Karl Krycia, who has yet to go to trial. 

Taylor’s conviction is also notable because in April 2020, not long after he returned to duty after the DeSilva shooting, he fatally shot Michael Ramos in a parking complex in Southeast Austin. That incident, captured by a bystander’s cellphone camera, was much more high-profile and led to protests across the city which grew especially contentious after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis a month later. 

Taylor was indicted for murder in that shooting, and a jury deadlocked during its deliberations last fall, which resulted in a mistrial. Garza’s office then dismissed the charges altogether.

In Texas, the offense of deadly conduct means that a person “recklessly engages in conduct that places another in imminent danger of serious bodily injury.” If the alleged conduct involved discharging a gun, it is considered a felony. 

During Taylor’s deadly conduct trial, his defense attorneys argued that he had no other choice but to fire because DeSilva was less than five feet away from him. They showed jurors frames of the body-camera footage indicating that as DeSilva took a step toward the officers, the knife was pointing right at them. 

The jury obviously rejected said argument based on the facts.

Prosecutors countered that DeSilva was complying with their demands of “drop the knife” and “show us your hands.” 

“He’s turning around, dropping the knife, bringing his hand forward,” said prosecutor Rob Drummond during closing arguments. “The threat of serious bodily injury never happened.” 

Prosecutors also argued that Taylor made a series of bad decisions leading up to the confrontation with DeSilva in the elevator, which meant he was not entitled to shoot to defend himself. The decisions, prosecutors said, included taking the stairs instead of the elevator and failing to adequately question a civilian who had managed to talk DeSilva down without using force earlier in the day. 

A “reasonable and prudent” person – which is the standard by which the jury was expected to hold Taylor to – would not have been justified in firing a gun at  DeSilva, prosecutors said, and so Taylor should be found guilty. 

“If you do not enforce the law and apply a reasonable and prudent standard,” Drummond told the jury, “these incidents will continue to happen.” He pointed at Taylor. “He’s a detective now. They promoted him. No change is going to come.”

Black Man Found Hanging by a Rope had Sued Alabama Police for Brutality: ‘It’s not a suicide,’ Widow says. Cops 'Offered to Drop Charges if He Withdrew Lawsuit'

From [HERE] A Black man found dead at an abandoned house in Colbert County last month had earlier this year filed a federal lawsuit against Sheffield police officers alleging police brutality.

Dennoriss Richardson, 39, of Sheffield, was found hanging by a rope on Sept. 28, said civil rights attorney Roderick Van Daniel, who represented Richardson in the federal lawsuit.

Van Daniel has called for a federal investigation of what he says is a suspicious death.

U.S. Attorney Prim Escalona said she was not familiar with the case. “We can’t deny or confirm the existence of any investigation,” said FBI Public Affairs Specialist Toni Herrera-Bast.

Colbert County Sheriff Eric Balentine said his office has investigated and ruled the death a suicide.

“We received a call of a suspicious vehicle at a residence on Highway 72, on the west side of Colbert County,” Balentine said. “When our deputies go down to investigate the suspicious vehicle, they located Mr. Richardson. He was hanging from a beam on the carport.”

Richardson’s wife, Leigh Ann Richardson, said she is absolutely convinced it was not a suicide.

“I need answers,” she said. “This was made to look like a suicide. It’s not a suicide.”

She said that Richardson had been repeatedly arrested, beaten, and harassed by Sheffield police officers who said they would drop charges against him if he would drop the federal lawsuit.

He repeatedly refused, she said.

They harassed him his whole life’

Richardson filed a lawsuit Feb. 26 against several Sheffield police officers, including former Sheffield Police Lt. Max Dotson.

Dotson was fired for a separate incident after he was found guilty of a December 2022 assault against another Black man while off duty.

Dotson, four other officers, and Police Chief Ricky Terry were named in the lawsuit as having taken part in abusive behavior while Richardson was detained in the Sheffield City Jail from Nov. 30 until Dec. 1, 2022.

“Any abuse of inmates is contrary to our policy,” Sheffield Mayor Steve Stanley said. “I have preached repeatedly that everyone we encounter, whether they’ve committed a crime or not, deserves respect and humane treatment. I’m hoping that that philosophy and standard is embraced by all of our employees.”

As Fed Prosecutors Fail to Convict ANY Cops for the Charge of Beating Tyre Nichols to Death, Study Shows Memphis Police Fail to Protect the Mostly Black Population; Ranked 'The Most Unsafe City in US'

Last week, 3 Memphis police officers were found guilty on Thursday of federal witness tampering charges in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man. But federal prosecutors failed to convict any of the defendants of the more serious charge of violating his civil rights by causing his death. Contrary to misleading media reports (“myth-information” obviously designed to control public reaction to the unjust verdict) one officer, Demetrius Haley, was convicted on a lesser charge of violating Mr. Nichols’s civil rights by causing bodily injury. That is, he was acquitted of causing the Black man’s death but found guilty of the lesser charge of only causing bodily injury (see below). At least six body cameras captured video and audio of Memphis cops brutally beating and torturing Tyre Nichols as he was unarmed and not resisting arrest. The murder also occurred directly in front public surveillance cameras which captured the brutalization that caused his death. As such, it is inexplicable that federal prosecutors were unable to convince a jury that said cops didn’t willfully beat Nichols to death (count 1), deny medical treatment (count 2) or conceal evidence (count 3). The actual jury verdict can be viewed here.

The three defendants — Mr. Haley, Tadarrius Bean and Justin Smith — and two other former officers who pleaded guilty to their role in the violence, still face additional state charges, including second-degree murder.

In the aftermath of the feds failure to prosecute, a new report now places Memphis, Tennessee at the bottom of the 2024 list for “Safest Cities in the US.” That is, Memphis ranked #1 as the most unsafe city in the country. At the opposite end of the spectrum, South Burlington, Vermont takes the crown as America’s safest city in 2024.

Researchers from WalletHub compared 182 cities, including the 150 most populated U.S. cities and at least two of the most populated cities in each state. The team focused on three key dimensions: Home and community safety, the risk of natural disasters, and financial safety.

Although the report focused on metrics applicable to the general public, additional criteria should be considered for Black residents of cities, such as the propensity for police to interfere with their freedom of movement as they go about their daily lives. Most black people live in metro areas. In nearly every metro area Black people are routinely stopped, searched, detained and degraded by police in grossly substantial numbers. In Memphis for example, police stop Black residents, such as Tyre Nichols, at least 2.5X more than whites. In fact, most of the cities in which police stop Black people in grossly disproportionate numbers are controlled by elite, white liberals. [MORE]

After examining 41 different metrics in those three fields and creating a 100-point scale to grade them, researchers found that South Burlington finished head and shoulders above any other city. The Vermont community, with roughly 20,000 residents, ranked in the top 10 of all three major categories, finishing first overall in terms of financial safety.

South Burlington had the lowest unemployment rate and second-lowest percentage of residents living without insurance. The Wallethub team also notes that South Burlington is relatively safe from natural disasters, ranking low for the risk of floods, tornadoes, and wildfires.

Memphis fell from 176th in 2023 to dead last in 2024. Memphis finished in the bottom five in terms of assaults and traffic deaths and had the lowest percentage of households with emergency savings. Memphis is 61% Black.. The top ten most unsafe are as follows;

1. Memphis, TN

2. Detroit, MI

3. Fort Lauderdale, FL

4. Baton Rouge, LA

5. New Orleans, LA

6. Baltimore, MD

7. Cleveland, OH

8. Oakland, CA

9. Philadelphia, PA

10. San Bernardino, CA

Observe that all cities in the top ten are cities controlled by elite white liberals.

After finishing 170th in 2023, New Orleans tumbled to 178th in 2024, finishing in the bottom five of WalletHub’s new list. New Orleans was second-to-last in terms of home and community safety and in the bottom 10 for financial security.

Other major cities sliding into the bottom 10 in terms of America’s safest cities were Philadelphia (174th), Cleveland (176th), Baltimore (177th), and Detroit (181st).

While researchers found major disparities between the safest and least safe cities, there was one factor in this year’s rankings that appears to be affecting every American metropolis: overall scores for safety are getting lower everywhere. While 2023’s safest city carried an overall score of 86 out of 100, South Burlington could only manage a score of 74.15.

Meanwhile, St. Louis finished in last place in 2023 with a score of 44.88. This year, the city in last (Memphis) only managed to score 34.81.

CHI Mayor Performs Leadership but has Delivered Nothing of Tangible Value so far; Claims to Liberate but Authorities Fail to Educate, Protect and Cops Engage in “Pervasive Mass Stops” of Black People

ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY:

reformers – naïve politicians. They came to do good and stayed to do well. Reformers themselves get reformed into the structure, consciousness and content of the dominant exploitative system—and thus become the system. (See: Revolution)

reform – superficial change in form and formalities (fictitious change) which only further lubricates the status quo by renovating and painting old society in new colors. 2) appearance of change sans the change. Reform is always in the service of the status quo and the politician: it serves the privilege of the past not the promise of the future. Reform creates hypocrisy as a matter of course. Reform is the first stage in the three “R’s” in hue-man evolution; the other two being revolution and rebellion. There are two basic types of reformists: those who are preparing the ground for Third Eye revolution and those who are trying to prevent the conscious revolution.

[MORE] ONE GREAT SPEECH AFTER ANOTHER. BLACK LEADERSHIP AS A PERFORMANCE THAT DELIVERS NOTHING; the campaign is over, stop talking. Within the Free Range Prison, authorities subject Black people to greater confinement in Chicago and in similarly situated places where large numbers of Black people reside (nearly all are controlled by elite white liberals).

• ACLU says Pervasive Mass Traffic Stops are "Urgent Problem" in Chicago as Cops Arbitrarily Interfere w/Black Peoples Freedom of Movement. An Increase of 90,000 to 500,000 Stops a Year from 2016-2023

• Report Finds Black Drivers in Chicago are 6X More Likely to be Stopped than Whites

• Quality of Black Citizenship Low in Liberal Chicago: Data Shows Cops Target Black Drivers, Search Their Cars and Conceal Data About It.

• Regardless of Location or Status, Study Finds Blacks are Far More Likely to be Stopped by Chicago Cops, Subjected to Force

• You Want Me to Live in a Crime Ridden Area but I Can’t Protect Myself?’ Study Says Liberal Authorities Fail to to Make Arrests in Most Shootings but are Cramming Blacks Into Jails Over Gun Possession

In nearly all liberal jurisdictions where blacks reside, regardless of the number of Black elected officials, elite whites control and own all major resources (such as banks, local mainstream media, major real estate, ports, utilities, large corporations and businesses, all major industry, major non-profits, unions, hospitals, etc) and own most major real estate, City bonds and anything else of substantial material value and they substantially fund most political campaigns.

Neely Fuller explains, ‘in a socio-material system dominated by wealthy, powerful racists, all major decisions involving non-white people are made by elite racists. In such places elite white liberals function as the major decision makers in regards to what happens or does not happen to non-white people, particularly Blacks and Latinos.’ Elite whites are their employers, landlords, creditors, land owners, supervisors, bosses and major decision-makers. Fuller states, ‘Whatever a Black person gets, and/or is allowed to keep, is the result of decisions made by elite racist suspects. This is the functional meaning of White Supremacy (Racism) that many Black people prefer not to acknowledge.’ [MORE] Thus, in their direct or indirect relations with elite white liberals, most black people function as their employees, workers, consumers, helpers, servants, tenants, patients, clients and customers.

DeMockery: Dumbocrats Claim to Protect the Black Vote but Have Spent Substantial Time and Resources to Keep Cornel West Off the Ballot, Miring His Candidacy in Fuckery, Rendering It to Write-In Status

From [HERE] Hmm: Democrats are fighting to get third-party candidates Jill Stein and Cornel West off the ballot in multiple states — while simultaneously battling to keep RFK Jr. on some states’ ballot even after he’s withdrawn.

“Defending democracy” sure is a tricky business.

Of course, the “principle” at stake here is nothing but “what’s best for Kamala Harris.”

West is running this cycle as an independent candidate. Only Democrats get to play games, including switching out Biden for Harris once they realized Joe was a sure loser.

They keep saying “democracy is on the ballot” this year, but (to quote Inigo Montoya) we don’t think that word means what they think it means. As a result of dumbocratic fuckery, The West/Abdullah ticket is on pace to be the largest presidential write-in campaign ever! 

Arizona

In August 2024, the Arizona Secretary of State said that the West Campaign did not file sufficient paperwork to gain ballot access in the state before the set deadline.

Michigan

In August 2024, Cornel West and his running mate Melina Abdullah were both initially disqualified and denied entry onto the 2024 Michigan presidential election ballot, due to an incorrectly notarized form. 

The group Clear Choice Action is backing the effort to block West from the ballot with help from lawyers with ties to the Democratic Party. Clear Choice founder Pete Kavanaugh said there’s ample evidence of “widespread and blatant fraud.”

“When you look through these petition pages, and there are thousands of them, again, it’s close to 30,000 individual signatures, what you see are clear patterns of fraud,” Kavanaugh said.

His campaign responded to a request for comment with a statement saying it “sees these accusations as part of a broader attempt to undermine the democratic process rather than legitimate legal objections."

"The allegations focus on procedural issues such as incomplete voter information and errors by petition circulators, disproportionately emphasizing technicalities over substantial compliance,” the statement continued. [MORE]

The Michigan Democratic Party has been fighting to keep West off the ballot, as has voter Rosa Holliday, who is represented by attorney Mark Brewer, a former Michigan Democratic Party chair. The Michigan Department of State appealed the Court of Claims ruling to the Michigan Court of Appeals, but did not follow through with an appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court, as Brewer did. [MORE]

The Michigan Secretary of State had given West's campaign a week to submit a response concerning the notarization issues and did not receive a response, after which the department disqualified West. On August 24, a Michigan judge overruled the decision, and required West to be given ballot access in Michigan.

Pennsylvania

In August of 2024, a judge ruled agreeing with the Secretary of State’s office that West’s candidacy paperwork was insufficient for ballot access in Pennsylvania.

West’s insurgent candidacy had been challenged in Pennsylvania by Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro’s administration, with his secretary of state’s office arguing that the 71-year-old far-left candidate did not submit all the required paperwork on time.

The state’s Supreme Court ruling affirmed a lower court order from last month knocking West off the November ballots. [MORE]

West’s campaign has now sought relief from the federal court.

Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, an employee of the Democratic National Convention challenged to keep West off of the ballot. In August 2024, the Wisconsin Election Commission rejected the challenge, and voted 5-1 to keep West on the ballot.

VA

The Virginia Board of Elections also ruled earlier that West will be included on ballots despite previously disqualifying him over alleged faulty paperwork. [MORE]

According to FUNKTIONARY:

dumbocracy – unrepresentative democracy tolerated by a public schooled in public schools. (See: Democracy & Dummy)

demockery – a spectacle of the true nature of democracy. What each political party (the jackass and the elephant) wants is not justice but its own idea of what is just (for themselves and their special interests). “We the people have no say, our duty is to obey and pay for lavish lifestyle of our betters, politicos, bankers and men of letters who talk down to us as though to fools, the working stiff, taxable mules. With intent to confuse the dumbed-down herd, economics, science presented by some nerd, with confident arrogance, talk not plain, why attempt with animals to explain the higher thoughts of lofty mind to junk-gene people left behind. For government you’ll fight, be taxed, labour, next election you’re supplied (again) with another savior.” ~ Alan Watt. (See: Government, Justice, Predictive Programming, Equality, Elections, Voting, Politics, Holodeck Court, Ideology, Collective Delusions, Taxtortion, Slavery, Political Money, Freedom, Control & Violence)

democracy – a commercial form of “government” (exploitation and theft via force, deception and involuntary participation) of the mob, by the mob, and for the mob, i.e., Mob-Rule. 2) a guise rubber stamping of an alternative royalty into overruling power. 3) the worst possible form of government because the majority rules whether they be good, evil, or misled by a minority. 4) slavery of the people, by the people, for the people. 5) equality achieved through force. 6) a system where only the majority need to be fooled. 7) advertised equality. 8) a parody of a free society that only ethical anarchism or voluntaryism can usher into existence.

Outspoken-Token Judge Ketanji Parrots Her White Liberal Masters: The 1st Amendment is "Hamstringing" the Government from Restricting Certain Viewpoints and Content it Wishes to Eliminate

From [HERE] Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson asked Lousiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga during oral arguments for Murthy v. Missouri (formerly Missouri v. Biden) when the federal government should be allowed to "compel or encourage" social media platforms to censor speech that is "threatening... from the government's perspective."

"My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways," Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said. "Some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty can not manifest itself in encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information."

"I'm really worried about that because you've got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances, from the government's perspective, and you're saying that the government can’t interact with the source of those problems," she said. 


"Our position is not that the government can't interact with the platforms," Aguiñaga explained. "But the way they do that has to be in compliance with the First Amendment."

Journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out on Twitter that "hamstringing the government" in its ability to censor speech is "quite literally the entire point of the First Amendment and Bill of Rights." [MORE]
