Two Black East Point Cops Sentenced in Murder of Handcuffed Black Man, Tasered 14x in Creek

Black on Black Crime. White media delights when Black cops get in the mix - hoping to confuse about racism. But Black on black violence is a result of white supremacy. 'The black on black criminal is a white racist in black skin - a person who has internalized white racist attitudes and has identified with his victimizers and expresses his victimization by victimizing other black people. His behavior reflexts the absence of an appropriate black and african identity.' [MORE]. In all contexts a black probot or any other 'alleged brother' programmed in service of white domination may be just as dangerous as a racist.] [MORE] Here, Black cops have taken on the same degenerate charactersitics of  white cops - but the white collective will not offer them the same protections. 

From [HERE] A Fulton county judge has sentenced to prison two Black East Point Police officers for the 2014 death of Gregory Towns, 24, who was repeatedly tased by the men while handcuffed.

Commanding officer Sergeant Marcus Eberhart was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 30 years on Wednesday, Dec. 21, for felony murder and aggravated assault. His partner, Corporal Howard Weems, was sentenced to five years in prison, with 18 months to serve for involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct. Weems was sentenced under first-offender status, meaning that his felony charges could be dropped.

The 24 year old was arrested on April 11, 2014 after he fled on foot from officers who wanted to question him about a domestic dispute. Eberhart and Weems responded to a domestic-disturbance call at Smith’s residence, where they found Towns outside and confronted him about allegedly assaulting Smith. Towns ran, stumbled and was apprehended when he stopped to catch his breath. Towns, who weighed over 300 lbs was exhausted after the foot chase by police. Nevertheless, cops insisted that quickly comply with their commands to quickly walk to a police cruiser after he was arrested and placed in handcuffs. Towns also did not have any pants on. It is not clear whether the cops took them off or not. He was arrested in his underwear.

The officers handcuffed Towns and proceeded to tase him at least 14 times  while he was sitting in a creek, claiming he was resisting and not complying with their orders in a 29-minute period. [MORE]

(Lawyers representing the Towns family in the civil suit conceded that they did not know exactly how many times Mr. Towns had been shocked, but they said the 14 uses of the Taser devices collectively amounted to more than a minute of actual electrical stimulation.) [MORE]

Murderers also Lie. In their police reports, the officers stated they only used their tasers a total of six times to subdue Towns, including one time while he was wet and sitting in a creek. However, the logs on the actual tasers showed they were discharged many more times than that, and by the time the paramedics arrived, Towns was unresponsive and did not have a pulse.

In an exclusive with Channel 2 Action News, Weems expressed great sorrow for his role and offered Towns’ family his deepest, sincere apologies.

“I’m sorry that this incident happened,” Weems said. “I’m sorry for the Towns family. I’m sorry there is nothing I’ll ever be able to say that will allow them to have forgiveness for me or that would change their mind and their belief.”

Sentencing comes nearly two years after Towns’ family settled a civil suit for $1 million.

However, the sentencing does not stop the pain of Towns’ family. His girlfriend, Aisel Smith, told WSB-TV Channel 2 Action News, that she can’t rely on the justice system anymore and that she regrets calling police that night.

“Moving forward, I will no longer put my faith in police officers, the courts, anything like that,” Smith said.
