--- Quote ---
> The testimony of a California police officer leading the
inquiry into a series of stabbings at a neo-Nazi rally indicated
that he targeted leftwing activists and victims rather than
focusing his investigation on armed white supremacists.
>
> The officer, Donovan Ayres, a 12-year-veteran of the
California highway patrol, admitted he pursued information on
the political affiliations and online activity of leftwing
activists and victims.
> ...
> But his testimony in a packed courtroom earlier this week,
along with hundreds of pages of reports he wrote, have revealed
the officer’s acquiescence to the neo-Nazis and the way he
repeatedly advocated they not face any criminal consequences.
>
> Ayres told the court that he filed a search warrant to access
the Facebook accounts of the leftist protesters and
anti-fascists, but chose not to seek equivalent information
about neo-Nazi suspects – an extraordinary move for a law
enforcement leader investigating far-right violence. He also
resisted describing the political affiliations of individual men
on the neo-Nazi side.
>
> “It’s extremely troubling that a police officer wouldn’t
[seek] to get all the information available about all the actors
involved in the violent episode,” said Mike German, a former FBI
agent and expert on the far right who reviewed some of Ayres’
documents for the Guardian. “Law enforcement should always look
at who has a history of violence … The victims of the most
egregious violence were counter-protesters.”
> ...
> Ayres wrote up more than 120 individual reports on everyone
present at the capitol on 26 June. For anti-fascists and
counter-protesters, the language was generally the same: the
activists were “rioting” and threatening the free-speech rights
of the TWP. “The message to commit violence against the ‘Nazis’
was clear,” he wrote in the reports, recommending they all be
prosecuted.
>
> Ayres, however, concluded he could not determine if the white
supremacist men he identified were “solely responsible for any
specific injuries”. That includes men who he determined, based
on video evidence, were holding knives. For more than a dozen of
them, there was not enough evidence of any crimes, he wrote.
>
> Sean Wurzburg, a TWP affiliate, Ayres wrote, was “observed
holding what appears to be a folding blade knife in his right
hand when he initially engaged with” a counter-protester. He
continued:
>
> Moments later they are observed rolling in the bushes … and
Wurzburg was seen making some downward thrusting motions. [The
protester] sustained a stab wound to the … abdomen. There is
insufficient evidence to determine if Wurzburg is solely
responsible for the wound that [the protester] sustained. What
is known, is that Wurzburg and [the protester] were in physical
confrontation, Wurzburg had what appeared to be a folding knife
in his hand [and] during the fight Wurzburg is seen making
downward thrusting motions before they separate.
>
> “I was unable to specifically place Wurzburg as solely
responsible for any specific injuries on those protestors who
were known to be injured,” Ayres concluded, saying it was
“unknown if Wurzburg committed any crimes”.
>
> Ayres’ separate report on this stabbing victim said the victim
“aggressively tackled Wurzburg, taking an advantageous top
position after taking Wurzburg to the ground near the bushes”,
and that after the confrontation, the victim “collapsed due to a
stab wound”.
>
> Ayres recommended the victim be charged with 13 separate
criminal offenses, including “assault with a deadly weapon (flag
pole) and battery on Sean Wurzburg”; conspiracy; false
imprisonment; brandishing a weapon; participating in a riot;
inciting a riot; participating in an unlawful assembly;
possessing a prohibited weapon; disturbing the peace; wearing a
mask or disguise to evade police, unlawfully carrying a banner
“exceeding thirty inches”; carrying a flag pole handle that was
“greater than one-fourth inch in thickness”; and carrying
“prohibited signs”.
>
> Similarly, Ayres wrote that the TWP affiliate Derik Punneo
“possessed a lawful knife, came under attack from the protestors
and defended himself from the attacks”. Ayres summarized:
>
> Punneo had a knife in his right hand at some point during
Event … [and] was in the immediate area of a counter protester,
who did suffer from numerous stab wounds; Punneo was in the
immediate area of [Yvette] Felarca and Felarca suffered cuts to
one arm; Punneo had close physical interaction with [another
counter protester] on two separate occasions (within a moment of
each other) and [this counter protester] did suffer a large gash
across his left upper chest; a knife, similar to the one Punneo
was holding … was located in the bushes.
>
> Ayres concluded: “I was unable to specifically place Punneo as
solely responsible for any specific injuries on those
protestors.”
>
> Ayres recommended no charges for Punneo but did urge a litany
of felony charges against the three stabbing victims. The CHP
later interviewed Punneo in jail after his arrest for an
unrelated allegation of domestic violence. One man on the white
supremacist side is now facing charges, but not for the
stabbings.
> ...
> Ultimately, Ayres did not recommend charges for any of the
far-right men for the stabbings. Ayres did recommend criminal
charges against all 100 counter-protesters he identified,
including eight stabbing and beating victims and those not
accused of any violence.
>
> Prosecutors ultimately chose to charge three anti-fascists:
Yvette Felarca, a 48-year-old Berkeley teacher and well-known
leftwing organizer, and two indigenous activists, Michael
Williams, 58, and Porfirio Paz, 21.
> ...
> Felarca is facing a charge of felony assault “by means of
force likely to produce great bodily injury” for an encounter
with Nigel Walker, a demonstrator who showed up at the rally
carrying a flag with what Ayres described as a “white power,
white nationalist type symbol”.
> ...
> He said “unknown” and “I don’t recall” when asked about the
beliefs of numerous men
> ...
> Ayres described the anti-fascists’ flags as weapons – a
“club/stick” with a flag “attached” to it – “emblematic of
anarchist beliefs” and direct evidence of their violent criminal
offenses. But when asked if he considered Walker’s flag attached
to a long stick to be a weapon, Ayres said no.
> ...
> When questioned about the Facebook warrants, Ayres admitted he
did not send similar search warrants for TWP Facebook accounts,
but he did not elaborate on his reasoning.
>
> “This officer had real trouble being neutral,” the defense
attorney Linda Parisi told the court at the end of Tuesday’s
four-hour hearing.

If this officer's attitude is reflective of at even a small
fraction of officers, then how many of the fatal police
shootings of leftist civilians over the years (for which the
officers responsible have generally walked free) could easily
have been deliberate murders?
---
Unsurprising, considering police officers are trained in Israel.

> According to the anti-fascist report, Stamm “liked” the
Facebook page “This Is Europa,” which describes itself as a
“pro-European community and think tank,” and regularly shares
false and fearmongering posts about Muslims. He also “liked”
“Stop Farm Attacks & Murders in South Africa,” a Facebook page
devoted to the white nationalist conspiracy theory that there is
a “white genocide” underway in South Africa.

So what are you going to do about it? Will you use your own
firearm to avenge Stephon's death, as was intended by the Second
Amendment? Because with every such police shooting going
unpunished, other biased officers will hear about it and hence
be even less worried about shooting innocent people next time.
It's what they've shown you time and time again because you let
them show it to you the first time without retaliation. And the
second time. And the third. It is your own fault for letting the
justice system deteriorate so far when you were allowed to own
firearms all along.

Ferguson, Missouri, drew attention on social media and
speculation in the activist community that something sinister
was at play.

from the protest. The 20-year-old was shot in the head before
the car was torched.
>
> Darren Seals, shown on video comforting Brown's mother that
same night, met an almost identical fate two years later. The
29-year-old's bullet-riddled body was found inside a burning car
in September 2016.
>
> Four others also died, three of them ruled suicides.

> — MarShawn McCarrel of Columbus, Ohio, shot himself in
February 2016 outside the front door of the Ohio Statehouse,
police said. He had been active in Ferguson.
>
> — Edward Crawford Jr., 27, fatally shot himself in May 2017
after telling acquaintances he had been distraught over personal
issues, police said. A photo of Crawford firing a tear gas
canister back at police during a Ferguson protest was part of
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage.
>
> — In October, 24-year-old Danye Jones was found hanging from a
tree in the yard of his north St. Louis County home. His mother,
Melissa McKinnies, was active in Ferguson and posted on Facebook
after her son's death, "They lynched my baby." But the death was
ruled a suicide.
>
> — Bassem Masri, a 31-year-old Palestinian American who
frequently livestreamed video of Ferguson demonstrations, was
found unresponsive on a bus in November and couldn't be revived.
Toxicology results released in February showed he died of an
overdose of fentanyl.
> ...

been targeted in dangerous ways.

the Ferguson protests. "I've been vocal about the things that
I've experienced and still experience — the harassment, the
intimidation, the death threats, the death attempts."
>
> Bush said her car has been run off the road, her home has been
vandalized, and in 2014 someone shot a bullet into her car,
narrowly missing her daughter, who was 13 at the time.
>
> She suspects white supremacists or police sympathizers. Living
under constant threat is exhausting, she said, but she won't
give in.
>
> "They shut us up and they win," Bush said.
>
> It's unclear if residual stress from the protests or
harassment contributed to the suicides, but Johnson said many
activists feel a sense of hopelessness.
>
> "This has to have a big impact on their mental health,"
Johnson said. "For many, law enforcement is not a recourse. Many
times law enforcement is not on their side."

They broke the glass door of the hotel lobby and some stormed
into the rooms, according to Euronews, breaking down one man’s
door and ramming a fire extinguisher into his chest.

gathered in front of the Verori Hotel and attacked it … they
smashed doors and windows. They attacked refugees from Palestine
and Syria. They hit an old man and both his children."

> Another man from Syria said: "Most people don’t dare leave the
hotel. The women don’t even go to the supermarket. But we can’t
live like this, we’re not in prison." According to the Euronews
report, police who were present did not prevent the attack.

Using information obtained through public record requests, the
Stanford Open Policing Project examined almost 100 million
traffic stops conducted from 2011 to 2017 across 21 state patrol
agencies, including California, Illinois, New York and Texas,
and 29 municipal police departments, including New Orleans,
Philadelphia, San Francisco and St. Paul, Minnesota.
The results show that police stopped and searched black and
Latino drivers on the basis of less evidence than used in
stopping white drivers, who are searched less often but are more
likely to be found with illegal items.

than four hours of deliberation following four days of trial.
During the trial, the jury saw video of the fatal shooting that
became public shortly after the incident and contributed to
unrest in Pittsburgh in the following days.

officer or to the community, and the verdict today says that is
OK, that is acceptable behavior from a police," Merritt added.

had pointed a gun at him. Neither were holding guns when the
officer shot Rose, but two guns were later found in the vehicle.

time, and he is one of many unarmed black teens and men killed
by white police officers in high-profile cases.

--- Quote ---
> That night, Riley and Schilling, along with two others, were
at the bar celebrating a birthday when the owner “forcefully
removed” the four men, according to the lawsuit. The men then
approached a nearby officer for assistance. Rosfeld also
responded to the incident.
>
> When Rosfeld arrived, the lawsuit alleges, he immediately used
force against three of the men and arrested them. In his reports
of the incident, Rosfeld largely recounted the incident from the
bar owner’s perspective, saying that the men had picked a fight
with another person at the bar, prompting their removal. The
report also said that one of the men broke a glass door and
assaulted an employee. The men denied these claims, arguing that
surveillance footage showed otherwise. But Rosfeld — claiming
that he watched the footage — said that the video backed the
owner’s account. The three arrested men then spent the night in
jail.
>
> According to the lawsuit, the Allegheny County DA’s Office
dismissed the charges against the men after concluding that
surveillance footage “did not support” and “contradicted”
Rosfeld’s reports.
>
> Rosfeld left the University of Pittsburgh Police Department
about a month after the incident; the suit argues that this was
the result of him being fired. (The University of Pittsburgh has
declined to comment on the matter, telling reporters that it
does not comment on pending litigation.) He joined the East
Pittsburgh police roughly four months later, and Rose’s shooting
occurred a few weeks after that.
>
> Lee Merritt, an attorney representing Rose’s family, argues
Rosfeld should not have been hired by the East Pittsburgh Police
Department in May of this year because of the December incident.
> ...
> This isn’t the first time that an officer’s prior behavior has
raised questions about their continued employment in law
enforcement. Police department policies and the ability for
officers to move to other departments can exacerbate the issue.
A 2017 investigation from the Washington Post noted that many
officers fired for misconduct are later reinstated by their
agencies, often because police leadership didn’t following
protocol when terminating them. And officers who leave their
departments after major scandals are often rehired by different
departments.

> The Plain View Project, launched by Philadelphia lawyer Emily
Baker-White, examined the accounts of about 2,900 officers from
eight departments across the country and an additional 600
retired officers from those same departments. She compiled posts
that represented troubling conduct in a database that is replete
with racist imagery and memes, and in some cases long, vitriolic
exchanges involving multiple officers.
>
> The project sought to compile posts, comments, and other
public activity that could undermine public trust in the police
and reinforce the views of critics, especially in minority
communities, that the police are not there to protect them.
>
> Of the pages of officers whom the Plain View researchers could
positively identify, about 1 in 5 of the current officers, and 2
in 5 of the retired officers, made public posts or comments that
met that threshold — typically by displaying bias, applauding
violence, scoffing at due process, or using dehumanizing
language. The officers mocked Mexicans, women, and black people,
celebrated the Confederate flag, and showed a man wearing a
kaffiyeh scarf in the crosshairs of a gun.

posted troubling content, more than a third — 139 officers —
appeared to have had one or more federal civil rights lawsuits
filed against them, based on name, badge number, and other
corroborating details. Of that group, a hundred ended in
settlements or verdicts against them or the city.

under the name Chris Joseph and posted the “should have shot

excessive and unprovoked force. In both cases, men claimed that
he choked them. Both lawsuits ended in payments by the city to
settle the claims.

shoot him, and punched and choked him until he lost
consciousness, according to the lawsuit. The man received
$5,000.

Nobody likes seeing their car getting towed but usually there's
nothing you can do about it unless you're a New York City police
officer and can do what the hell you want.
In this case, the tow truck driver ended up in jail for 20 hours
on a felony charge of possession of stolen property after trying
to repossess a Nissan Maxima from an NYPD officer who had missed
three payments.
Tow truck driver Jose Rodriguez was also unable to work for two
weeks because the cops refused to remove a boot they had placed
on it when arresting him.
The cop whose car was getting repossessed called his cop buddies
who showed up after Rodriguez had already lifted the car onto
his truck. They surrounded him and handcuffed him, then they
removed the car from the truck and drove it away while taking
him to jail.
But by the sounds of it, they were the ones who were stealing
the car because it had already been repossessed by the bank but
they are protected by Blue Privilege.
...
The felony charge of possession of stolen property against
Rodriguez was reduced to a misdemeanor charges of falsifying
documents and possession of police scanners, allegations he
denies.
But the NYPD still has not returned his phone, laptop, iPad and
cameras, including one that snapped a photo of a cop tampering
with it, sending it to his cloud posted below.

We cover a lot about how "non-whites" are often subjected to
severe negative discrimination by law enforcement, but the other
side of the same phenomenon is how "whites" receive positive
discrimination so routinely that they become accustomed to
expecting it, and hence push for even more unreasonable favours,
thereby shifting the standard ever further right.

What do you expect to be dealing with if not the local judicial

What this shows is that the colonialist mentality never went
away. "Whites" do not believe that "non-whites" should be able
to put "whites" on trial in the first place, under any
circumstances (but of course "whites" can put "non-whites" on
trial any time "whites" want). During the colonial era this was
how it worked, and this is how they believe it should continue
to work for all time. (It is also taught in the Talmud that Jews
is not responsible for crimes done to non-Jews, but non-Jews are
responsible for crimes done to Jews.) Worse, many formerly
colonized people also believe this, which is why the
preferential treatment is given. And the two complemetary
mentalities - colonialist and colonized - keep mutually
reinforcing each other in a twisted feedback loop. The more
hubris the "white" displays, the more deference the "non-white"
presumes is appropriate, and it looks more and more like we are
still living in the colonial era. This is what we are here to
end.

www.thedailybeast.com/quit-fking-with-me-boy-florida-deputy-under-investigation-after-grabbing-black-dads-neck-in-video
A Florida deputy is at the center of an internal affairs
investigation after 2017 body-camera footage showed him calling
a black father “boy” and grabbing him by the neck during an
expletive-filled encounter.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office announced the internal
investigation into Deputy James Cady, who reportedly has a
history of making false arrests
...
The July 2017 video, which was recorded by Cady’s body camera
outside a Dania Beach hotel, begins with the officer asking
Allen Floyd, a black man calmly holding his infant son, if he
has a “separate” room at the Red Carpet Inn and demanding to see
his identification.
“For what,” Floyd, who is seated on the sidewalk, asks the
officer before showing Cady pictures on his phone to prove he is
the infant’s father. “I’m not going to show you my ID.”
“Quit fucking with me, boy!” Cady can be heard saying in the
video after threatening to call child protective services on
Floyd. “I’m going to fuck you up.”
In the January letter, the public defender said, “Cady’s use of
the term ‘boy’ is offensive, condescending and demeaning. It
carries racial connotations when used while addressing an adult
black male.”
...
In the video, Floyd, in a move Finkelstein described as an
attempt to “de-escalate” the situation, tells the deputy his
name and says he can “look [him] up.”
“If you lie to me one time, I’m taking your ass to jail,” Cady
replies. “You understand me?”
Floyd then questions why Cady is “yelling” at him, and asks the
deputy to stop calling him “boy.” As the father begins to walk
away, Cady grabs him by the right arm.
“The officer then grabs him by his neck while he’s holding a
9-month-old child in his hands, and pushes him against the car,
and at no point in time does Mr. Floyd respond in an aggressive
manner,” Gordon Weekes, executive chief of Broward Public
Defender’s Office, said in a statement.
...
This is not the first time Cady has been under fire. The Miami
Herald reported that Cady’s personnel file includes at least two
previous Internal Affairs investigations, including for conduct
unbecoming of an employee and use of force in 2003. At the
conclusion of both cases, a one-day suspension was recommended.
“He was found liable for tasering, tackling and beating an
individual in 2009,”

that Indigenous women are 11 times more likely than white women
to be stopped by Montreal police. Overall, black people are four
times more likely to be stopped than a white person, while
Indigenous people over all are 4.61 times more likely. Police
were twice as likely to stop an Arab person than a white person.

incident of alleged racist exclusion. Montreal police officers
blocked Abdelhaq Sari, a city councillor and vice-chair of the
board that supervises the police, from attending the event.

increased 143 per cent from 2014 to 2017, even though the level

fired through the glass a split-second after shouting at

his gun and fired after "perceiving a threat."

far-right group known for engaging in violent clashes at
political rallies, didn't violate department policies, the
town's police chief has concluded in response to a civil rights
group's concerns.
>
> The East Hampton officer, Kevin P. Wilcox, "stopped his
association" with the Proud Boys in February, about five months
before the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
inquired about his social media connections with other group
members, Police Chief Dennis Woessner said.
>
> In a letter to the Washington-based civil rights group, the
police chief acknowledged that Wilcox had been a Proud Boys
member and made online payments to a group leader. The rights
group described those publicly visible, online transactions as
monthly dues that helped fund the Proud Boys' "violent or
otherwise illegal" activities.
>
> But the chief said he reviewed the matter, received an
"explanatory report" from Wilcox and closed the department's
inquiry as being "unfounded," with no evidence to support a
policy violation.
> ...
> Kristen Clarke, the civil rights group's president and
executive director, said she was "astounded" by the police
chief's refusal to take action against the officer.
>
> "In an era where we are seeing a spike in white supremacist
activity, this should sound an alarm. It should not be business
as usual," Clarke said during an interview Tuesday.

Being astounded does not solve the problem. Solving problems to

firearm ownership in the first place).

> The average rate of imprisonment of African Americans in state
prisons is more than 5 times (pdf, p.5) that of white people. In
some states (Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey, Vermont, and
Wisconsin), there are 10 times the number of black people in
prison compared to white people.
>
> Now, a new study breaks down this problem of prejudice in the
American judicial system in even more disturbing detail.
According to the study, it isn’t just being black that makes a
person more likely to be sentenced to jail in the US, it’s how
black they are. A person’s lifetime chance of having been
arrested, the study found, is directly proportional with the
darkness of their skin.
> ...
> “Put bluntly, while being black (and poor) may already
predispose one to have a higher probability of contact with the
criminal justice system and harsher treatment…being perceived as
blacker intensifies this contact further and may increase the
harshness of one’s treatment by the [criminal justice system] as
an institution,” Monk writes in the study.

> On the night Green was shot, he said, he did what he thought
he had to: He sprang into action when he saw an armed man on the
run. As he confronted the suspect, though, he heard someone
order him to drop his weapon. Green tossed down his gun and
belly-flopped onto the grass. A white detective recognized him a
few moments later and warned the others that Green was a police
officer, too.

gun pointed down in his right hand. He held out his badge so
there would be no confusion. He had grown up on the city’s North
Side and had been stopped plenty of times by police for no good
reason before he had gotten his badge, he said.

to drop his weapon, followed almost immediately, he said, by a
gunshot. He clutched his right forearm and looked over at the
white officer who had shot him.

Green said of Tanner. “You wouldn’t have walked up to a white
guy and just shot him like that.”

that happened a few months after Green was shot: A black officer
working undercover at a protest was beaten by white officers so
badly that the injured officer told a commander, using an
expletive, that they beat him “like Rodney King.”
>
> That officer, Luther Hall, had been monitoring a demonstration
held in downtown St. Louis to protest the acquittal of a white
officer who had fatally shot a black resident. While Hall’s face
was bloodied, his partner, who was white, was not beaten,
according to a lawsuit.

a series of incendiary Facebook posts, some of them racist and
bigoted, uncovered by the Plain View Project.

posted in 2013 said, “Britain should not bend over backwards to
accommodate Islam.” Another one shows a white officer throwing a
punch and says “I’m going to protect and serve,” adding an
expletive.

a black officer, filed a complaint with the department. She
asked officials to transfer Calcaterra, who is white, out of her
unit because she had concerns for her well-being and safety.

Calcaterra of striking her with a police vehicle while they were
on duty. Calcaterra did not respond to a phone message.

subway terminal in South Brooklyn, the new commander instructed
officers to think of white and Asian people as “soft targets”
and urged them to instead go after blacks and Latinos for minor
offenses like jumping the turnstile, a half-dozen officers said
in sworn statements.
>
> “You are stopping too many Russian and Chinese,” one of the
officers, Daniel Perez, recalled the commander telling him
earlier this decade.
>
> Another officer, Aaron Diaz, recalled the same commander
saying in 2012, “You should write more black and Hispanic
people.”
> ...
> The commander, Constantin Tsachas, was in charge of more than
100 officers who patrolled a swath of the subway system in
Brooklyn, his first major command. Since then, he has been
promoted to the second-in-command of policing the subway system
throughout Brooklyn. Along the way, more than half a dozen
subordinates claim, he gave them explicit directives about whom
to arrest based on race.
> ...
> Six officers said in their affidavits that Tsachas, now a
deputy inspector, pressured them to enforce low-level violations
against black and Hispanic people, while discouraging them from
doing the same to white or Asian people.
> ...
> “The focus of black and brown people, even if other people
were doing the same crime, points to what many of us have been
saying for a while,” the city’s public advocate, Jumaane
Williams, said. “The same actions lead to different results,
unfortunately, depending on where you live and an overlay of
what you look like.”
> ...
> “Tsachas would get angry if you tried to patrol subway
stations in predominantly white or Asian neighborhoods” LaForce
said in his affidavit. He added that the commander would
redirect officers to stations in neighborhoods with larger black
and Hispanic populations.
>
> Diaz, who retired from the Police Department last year,
described in his affidavit how on one occasion Tsachas seemed
irritated at him for having stopped several Asian people for
fare evasion and told him he should be issuing tickets to “more
black and Hispanic people.”
> ...
> Other officers described similar experiences. Some of the
officers claimed in affidavits that Tsachas urged his officers
to come up with reasons to stop black men, especially those with
tattoos, and check them for warrants.
> ...
> The allegations in the affidavits were bolstered by a police
union official, Corey Grable, who gave a deposition in June in
the same lawsuit that recounted his interactions with Tsachas.
He recalled Tsachas had once complained about a subordinate who
Tsachas said seemed to go for “soft targets.”
>
> Unsure what that meant, Grable asked if the officer was
ticketing old ladies for minor offenses? Tsachas responded: “No,
Asian.”
>
> Grable, who is black, asked, “Would you have been more
comfortable if these guys were black or Hispanic?”
>
> “Yes,” Tsachas replied, according to Grable’s recollection.
> ...
> Raymond said he believed Tsachas should not have been
promoted. “It’s a spit in the face of communities of color that
this man is given more power after being exposed as a bigot,” he
said.

> Jaylan Butler, an innocent college student and the only Black
member of the Eastern Illinois University swim team, was
wrongfully arrested alongside an Illinois highway, held face
down on the snowy ground with a gun to his forehead, and
threatened by a group of police officers without justification.
These facts are contained in a new lawsuit filed by Mr. Butler
in federal court.
>
> Even when police officers realized they were mistaken in
arresting Jaylan, they continued to detain him before forcing
him to produce an identification card. Throughout the process,
officers refused to identify themselves or give him any
information about his arrest that would assist him in filing a
formal complaint.
>
> “My dad taught me at a young age what to do when you are
stopped by police officers – stop instantly, put your hands up,
drop anything you are holding, and drop to your knees,” said
Jaylan. “I hoped I would never have to use this advice in my
life, but all that changed in seconds.”
>
> On February 24, 2019, Jaylan was travelling with his swim team
by bus from a college championship tournament in South Dakota.
Shortly after 8:00 p.m., the bus pulled over on a frontage road
off Interstate 80 near East Moline, Illinois. Jaylan and several
teammates left the bus to stretch their legs. One of Jaylan’s
coaches asked if he would take a photo of a roadside sign for
the team’s social media account. Jaylan took the photo and began
walking back to the bus.
>
> Suddenly, several law enforcement vehicles raced up, and
officers exited the cars with their guns drawn. They began
yelling and swearing at Jaylan. Surprised and confused, Jaylan
instantly followed his father’s advice and stopped, put his
hands up, dropped his cell phone, and dropped to his knees.
>
> Police officers swarmed around Jaylan with their firearms
pointed at him, and pushed him facedown onto the snowy ground.
Jaylan had no idea why the officers had appeared. While one
officer handcuffed him, other officers pinned him to the ground
by pushing a knee into Jaylan’s back and pressing down on
Jaylan’s neck. Another officer then held his gun to Jaylan’s
forehead and threatened to “blow his [expletive] head off” if he
moved. The team bus driver and Jaylan’s coach were alarmed and
exited the bus to tell the officers Jaylan was part of the EIU
swim team.
>
> The officers quickly realized that Jaylan was not the suspect
they were looking for and had done nothing wrong, but instead of
releasing him and apologizing, the officers searched his pockets
and placed him – still cuffed – in the back of a police vehicle.
After several more minutes, the officers released him, but only
after forcing Jaylan to provide photo identification.
>
> “What happened to Jaylan is an example of the harmful police
interactions that people of color experience far too often, but
which receive much less attention. These officers forcibly
arrested and searched Jaylan without reasonable suspicion,
probable cause, or any other lawful justification. They never
told Jaylan why he was being arrested, even after they realized
their mistake. Instead, it’s clear they based their decision to
arrest and harm Jaylan on the fact that he was a young Black
man,” said Rachel Murphy, Staff Attorney, ACLU of Illinois.

television as he covered protests of police brutality in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. Jimenez identifies as African American
and Hispanic, and when the cops confronted him, he did just what
minority parents tell their kids to do. Jimenez cooperated; he
was respectful, deferential even. He said: “We can move back to
where you like … We are getting out of your way … Wherever you
want us, we will go.”

led him away, and then came back to arrest his crew. Jimenez
narrated his arrest as they led him away. His voice is steady.

clue to what he’s feeling. His eyes are perplexed and terrified.
I get it. When a black or brown person goes into police custody,
you never know what is going to happen. You just know that when
you leave police custody, if you are lucky enough to leave, you
will be diminished. That is the point.

a white CNN journalist who was in the same area as Jimenez and
not arrested. Campbell said his experience was the “opposite” of
Jimenez’s. The cops asked him “politely to move here and there”.
“A couple times I’ve moved closer than they would, like, they
asked politely to move back. They didn’t pull out the
handcuffs.”

the cops policing a rally protesting police brutality against a

watching figuratively, and CNN’s audience is watching literally,
the cops can’t help themselves. They go all brutal lite. They
play “who’s the man” even when the black man, like Jimenez, goes
out of his way to show he already knows who the man is. “You
are, officer, Sir.” What the cops round up are the usual

> Black pastor called 911 after alleged attack. The cops
arrested him.
> ...
> Pastor Leon McCray was at his home on June 1 when he saw two
people trying to dump a refrigerator on his property, he
recounted during a church service Sunday. When McCray told them
to stop, one person proceeded to verbally attack him and the
other one went to get three other people.
>
> McCray said that all five people started attacking him
verbally and physically. They were "threatening to kill me...
telling me that my Black life didn't matter," he said. That's
when he felt the need to pull his concealed firearm to save his
life, he said. The group of people then left and McCray
proceeded to call 9-1-1 for help.
>
> But when authorities arrived, they didn't ask McCray what
happened, he said. They spoke to the white family of five who
had just attacked him, he said.
>
> "I was not given an opportunity to speak," said McCray, adding
that officers told him they had to arrest him for brandishing a
gun. "And I said, what about the trespassing and the assault?"
>
> Instead, McCray "was handcuffed in front of my assaulters" by
an officer who has known him from the community for over 20
years, he said, adding "they waved at me as I go down the
road... . Do you know how disturbing that is?"
--- End Quote ---
At least McCray was carrying a firearm! But this is what happens
when you merely pull out your a firearm while "non-white", even
when getting beaten up by "whites". Contrast with the McMichaels
literally hunting down and shooting Arbery dead and initially
presumed to have been defending themselves.

> On Sept. 5, two Las Vegas police officers arrested Williams,
50, who was Black, for riding a bicycle without a safety light.
Body camera video released by police showed the officers chasing
Williams, holding him on the ground, handcuffed, and kneeling on
his back before lifting him upright and dragging him away.
Williams repeatedly told officers, "I can't breathe."
>
> He said it at least 17 times before he died, according to the
police video.
>
> But unlike Floyd's death — which triggered a wave of protests
across the country, including in Las Vegas, and led to charges
for the four Minneapolis officers involved — Williams' death
drew little attention. Police released just part of the video
from one of the body cameras; no bystander videos emerged. A
single rally for Williams last fall drew about two dozen people.
No charges have been filed against officers connected to the
case.
> ...
> At one point, Thompkins said, the video showed Williams asking
for an ambulance and an officer telling Williams that nobody was
coming to help him.
>
> Williams then fell silent, lying on the ground as the officers
laughed and discussed weekend plans, Thompkins said.

Smith defends himself, explaining that while he had been in the
pharmacy, he was waiting for his sister to wire him money. Mr
Smith insists that he is innocent, that the staff at the
pharmacy know who he is and that nearby security cameras would
prove he hadn't done anything illegal.

his ID. As the exchange is taking place, another officer
approaches Mr Smith from behind and grabs his arm. As Mr Smith
reacts, the officer puts him in a bear hug. Mr Smith cries out
that he hasn't done anything and the officer holding him tells
him to put his arms behind his back. After the third time asking
Mr Smith to do so, the officer body slams Mr Smith face-first
into the ground. Mr Smith's arm breaks as a result, and the
police handcuff him.

for had already been arrested, and that they'd attacked Mr Smith
in error.

believes it is a civil rights case. He said the officers
violated Mr Smith's civil rights to "be free from an unlawful

along with us being citizens."

Mr Smith had committed a crime or that he had any intention of
committing a crime, and that the sergeant's use of a bear hug
was "unnecessary and illegal" and indicative of "malice and
