Ocean City Police Assault Pregnant Woman On Beach, Had To Have Emergency C Section(Caught On Tape)

VIDEO OF INCIDENT AT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_7zYf1iJ6E

OCEAN CITY, Md. (WJZ) — Arrests in Ocean City are sparking controversy after police take down a pregnant woman on the beach Sunday.

She was part of a large group that says it was being harassed. But police have a very different version of what happened.

Mary Bubala reports--the incident was caught on cell phone video.

The cell phone video picks up shouting with Ocean City officers quietly standing by. It's at this point, according to police, that 25-year-old Abdul Kargbo of Woodbridge begins cursing and yelling at officers and then begins walking away.

Soon officers take down other members of the group, including a woman who is pregnant.

The take downs continue. Meanwhile, the pregnant woman had to have an emergency c-section.

Police say she soon will be charged with assault and resisting arrest, along with Abdul Kargbo, 24-year-old Musa Seisay and 21-year-old Saidu Kargbo.

"We have full confidence that our officers did act appropriately," said Lindsay O'Neal, Ocean City police spokesperson.

O'Neal says it all started with the group yelling, cursing and disrupting families at the beach. She says a lifeguard asked them to tone it down and one of the suspects allegedly threatened the lifeguard--followed by threats to police when they arrived.

O'Neal says the pregnant woman was assaulting officers prior to being taken down.

"Any person who assaults a police officer must be detained," O'Neal said.

Members of the group at the beach that day would not go on camera, but they say the police account is totally false and they were racially profiled.

Members of the group are considering legal action against Ocean City police.

The group also says it has more video of the incident.

Officer not punished after admitting to kicking a nine month pregnant woman

A police officer from Dekalb County, Ga. with a history of violent conduct kicked a heavily pregnant woman in the stomach in a recent incident that the officer's superiors described as within department policy. The incident occurred when officer Jerad Wheeler was called to the pregnant woman's home to settle a dispute involving the woman's brother and his partner. When her brother began arguing with the officer, nine month pregnant Raven Dozier said that Wheeler pulled out a taser and used it on him. When Miss Dozier started crying and asking the officer why he was resorting to such actions, Wheeler kicked her in the stomach, arrested her and charged her with obstruction of a police officer. Thankfully, the child was not affected and was born healthy via an emergency C-section two weeks after the incident. The charges against Dozier were dropped. "What kind of a human being kicks a pregnant woman?" said Dozier's attorney Mark Bullman. "I mean, forget whether or not it is a police officer that is supposedly protecting people." In his incident report Wheeler claimed that he could not tell that Dozier was pregnant and that he kicked her out of self defense because she was acting aggressively. Wheeler described the kick as "a front push kick to the abdomen, as he was taught to do at the academy."

Cop Knocks Woman's Teeth Out in Illegal Arrest

"A police officer in Texas was jailed this week for knocking a woman's teeth out during an illegal arrest he made in late May.

James Angelo Palermo, 40, is charged with aggravated assault by a public servant for the May 29 incident in which he allegedly slammed a pedestrian against a car, the Austin American-Statesman reports"*

In an almost unbelievable case, Texas police officer James Angelo Palermo was arrested for grabbing a female pedestrian and slamming her so hard that her teeth were knocked out and she suffered a concussion. Why would he attack an innocent woman, and was justice served? Cenk Uygur, Gina Grad, and Jimmy Dore discuss.

Race Matters: Conservative Publication Warns White Children To Avoid African Americans Because Blacks Are More Likely To Be “Violent Criminals”

Via Think Progress reports:

A top conservative publication published a column on Wednesday advising young white children to stay away from black people, despite firing a columnist roughly a year ago for writing a very similar piece in a different publication.

Victor Davis Hanson, a scholar of military history and longtime National Review foreign affairs columnist, has a habit of dipping his toes into racially uncomfortable water. In a past column, for example, Hanson accused President Obama of attempting to victimize white people for political gain.

His column today, however, directly echoes the now-infamous piece by self-described “race-realist” John Derbyshire that National Review deemed a firing offense. Derbyshire’s TakiMag piece, the conceit of which was that the author was giving a white equivalent of “The Talk” that black parents give their children about racism, included gems like “avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally,” “stay out of heavily black neighborhoods,” and “if accosted by a strange black in the street, smile and say something polite but keep moving.”

The thrust of Hanson’s argument — black men are criminals and you should stay away from them, my son — is largely indistinguishable from Derbyshire’s. “Be careful if a group of black youths approaches you,” Hanson quoted his father as saying before a move to San Francisco. “After some first-hand episodes with young African-American males,” he continued, “I offered a similar lecture to my own son.”

Kody Ingham: Another Black male youth found dead (hanging)

This is Kody Ingham, who was 18 years old.  He was found hanging from a tree in Athens, TX on Monday morning July 15, 2013.  

I spoke to Ray Nutt, Sheriff of Henderson County, where Athens is located.    In our conversation, he confirmed the tip, that Kody Ingham was found hanging from a tree, Monday morning.  Apparently, this incident took place on Sunday the day of the Zimmerman verdict.  

According to the Sheriff, Kody committed suicide.  In telling the story, he said that Kody killed himself after he left his girlfriend’s house.  I asked him if the girlfriend was white.  He said he did not readily know the answer and went to look it up.  He came back on the phone and said she was white.  He said Kody and his girlfriend went to a Rodeo where they ran into her old boyfriend.  He said Kody became very upset and an argument ensued that continued when Kody went home with the nameless girlfriend (I am pursuing her name). 

Kody finally told her he was leaving and she never heard from him again.  The next morning she found him hanging from a tree located down her driveway. According to a family source connected to the father, Kody called his mother at 2am in the morning and asked her to pick him up.  She called him back; he did not answer her call. 

Since this story was not reported in the newspaper, I asked a local editor of the Athens Review, why was Kody’s death was only reported as an obituary and not as a story.  He said they don’t report suicides. 

Of course this is very troubling since this incident happened on the heels of the George Zimmerman verdict.  Moreover, the contention that Kody killed himself is an all too familiar refrain in the suspicious death of young Black men.  We ran into this when we investigated the deaths of Billye Jo Johnson from Lucedale, Mississippi and Chavis Carter in Jonesboro, Arkansas.  

Both were dating white women and their deaths were suspicious.  I suspected, before I asked the Sheriff, that the girlfriend is white.  When it became very clear the girlfriend was white, the sheriff said he thought it was a suicide, but there needed to be more exploration of certain issues.  If the relative’s observation is true, then the girlfriend was dating Kody and the white boyfriend at the same time, which appears to be the same case with Billye Jo Johnson and Chavis Charter. 

I am in the process of trying to contact Kody’s mother and father, but am free to tell you that you may send condolences to the family at Hannigan Smith Funeral Home at www.Hannigansmith.com.

NYPD Kills Unarmed Black Kid After Cops illegally Break into His Home!!(CHARGES DISMISSED)

NEW YORK — A week after police shot to death an unarmed 18-year-old in his grandmother's Bronx apartment, questions continue to swirl around the aggressive police tactics that led to the fatal confrontation.

Ramarley Graham died last Thursday after Richard Haste, 30, a New York police officer, entered his grandmother's apartment and shot Graham in the chest while he attempted to flush a bag of marijuana down the toilet. Graham was unarmed and police did not have a warrant to enter the home.

Graham's death has sparked street protests in Wakefield, a low-income neighborhood with a large African-American and Caribbean immigrant population. "They had no business kicking down the door. They went too far," said Tyrone Harris, 27. "They need to go to jail just like any other citizen."

Jeffrey Emdin, an attorney representing Graham's mother, called the police tactics unlawful. "They illegally entered the home," Emdin said. "They had no right to be inside. They had no right to use force."

Protesters linked the shooting to the NYPD's aggressive street policing program, called "stop-and-frisk," which predominantly targets low-income minority neighborhoods. In 2011, the program stopped and searched more than 500,000 New Yorkers, 85 percent of them black or Latino. The searches contributed to a record number of misdemeanor marijuana arrests last year.

Don't Kill Me 23-Year-Old Unarmed Woman Shot Dead By Brooklyn Cop Trying To Flee NYPD In Car!

"A Brooklyn detective shot and killed an unarmed woman in a stolen car after she blew through three red lights, hit a minivan and tried to escape by driving in reverse, police said. The incident unfolded about 5:40 p.m. in East Flatbush when two plainclothes narcotics cops spotted Shantel Davis, 23, at the wheel of a gray Toyota Camry she allegedly carjacked at gunpoint on June 5. 

Davis — who had eight arrests on her rap sheet, sources said — ran a series of red lights along Church Ave. and crossed a double yellow line to pass cars at E. 38th St., where she smacked into the minivan, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. As the two cops approached the Camry, they saw Davis slide over to the passenger side, where the seat had been stripped out, and try to open the door. One officer, who has been on the force six years, got hit by the door and was thrown backward, Browne said. 

Davis then got back in the driver's seat, put the car in reverse and hit the gas, police said. Simultaneously, another cop, identifed by sources as Detective Phillip Atkins, 44, was entering the driver's side of the Camry, with his gun in hand. "He's attempting with the other hand to shift the gear into park," Browne said. "When she's hitting the gas, a single round was discharged from his firearm, striking the woman in the chest." Browne said it was too soon to say whether the detective, who has 12 years on the force, meant to pull the trigger or if it was an accident. Witnesses described a scene of chaos before the shooting. 

Dave McKenzie said he heard the cops yelling: "Get out! Get out!" "They try to pull her out of the car, and she fights them," McKenzie said, recalling the woman screaming, "Let me go! Let me go!" " 'I don't want to be killed! Don't kill me!' " the woman yelled, McKenzie added. Lorraine Preddie, 61, said that after she heard the crash, she saw the detective in a blue NYPD T- shirt with a shield around his neck. "The next thing I saw was the police officer took his gun out and fired a shot," she said. Witnesses said it was instantly clear the woman was gravely wounded."She was bleeding, and then she just dropped. She fell on the floor facedown. She was shaking and the blood was just going out of her," said one woman who works at a nearby laundermat. "She was in the street," Preddie said. "They started giving her chest compressions and took her in the ambulance." 

Davis died at Kings County Hospital. Councilman Jumaane Williams broke the news to her family. Police said the owner of the Camry confirmed that Davis swiped the vehicle. Davis, who was identified by family members, was due in court Friday on a kidnapping and attempted murder case stemming from a May 2011 attack. "This is like a bad dream," said cousin Stephanie Gilmer, 40, who called Davis a "sweetie pie." "She was only 23. She had her whole life in front of her." 

Despite Davis' criminal record, Assemblyman Nick Perry said he was concerned about the circumstances of her death "because the investigation I have seems to suggest this woman was not a threat." Mike Palladino, head of NYPD detectives union, backed Atkins, who had never fired his gun in the line of duty. "Based on the facts and the circumstances, I'm confident that our detective's actions were appropriate and justified," Palladino said.

Michelle Alexander: "Zimmerman Mindset" Endangers Young Black Lives With Poverty, Prison & Murder

"Justice for Trayvon" protests are planned in more than 100 cities this weekend as activists seek federal charges against George Zimmerman and the repeal of "Stand Your Ground" laws in Florida and dozens of other states. We speak with Michelle Alexander, a law professor at Ohio State University and author of the best-selling book, "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness." Alexander says the biases that led to Martin's death and let his killer go free are deeply embedded in U.S. society and in the criminal justice system itself: 

"The [Zimmerman mindset] that views black men and boys as a perpetual problem to be dealt with has infected our criminal justice system, infected our schools, has infected our politics in ways that have had disastrous consequences, birthing a prison system unprecedented in world history, and stripping millions of people of basic civil and human rights once they have been branded criminals and felons. It's this mindset that some of us defined largely by race and class are unworthy of our basic care and concern and to be dealt with harshly, written off with impunity."

Trayvon Martin's Unpunished Shooting Death Among 100+ Extrajudicial Killings of Unarmed Blacks

According to a recent study, the shooting death of Trayvon Martin and the acquittal of his killer is not unique. In "Operation Ghetto Storm," the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM) found at least 136 unarmed African Americans were killed by police, security guards and self-appointed vigilantes in 2012. Overall, one black person was killed in an extrajudicial shooting every 28 hours. 

We speak with Kali Akuno, a long-time MXGM organizer and author of "Let Your Motto Be Resistance: A Handbook on Organizing New Afrikan and Oppressed Communities." "This speaks to the mindset of criminalizing blackness," Akuno says. "We see it systematically throughout this country and really we have to get at the heart of it and have a much deeper conversation. I think the mass movement which is taking place in response [to the Trayvon Martin case] is an opening shot to have that conversation."

Rodney Lino Police Brutality Case

Two men are claiming a gross case of police brutality and alleging that the cops doled out some outlaw justice on them. Rodney Lino and Patrick Menzies were leaving the Princess on Sunday morning between 3:30 and 4:00 - which is when Lino bumped into a female. He says he apologized, but one of the men accompanying her - who turned out to be a police officer in civilian clothes - didn't take too kindly to it - 8 Jun 2011.

Press Conference regarding Hanging victim Frederick Jermaine Carter

Frederick Jermaine Carter was found hanging in a tree in Greenwood, Mississippi. Although the Sheriff claims his death was a suicide, there is insufficient evidence to support this finding. More importantly, the state of Mississippi refuses to release the complete autopsy including Mr. Carter's personal effects and the rope which was used in the hanging.

100 Blacks In Law Enforcement Press Conference pt1

'Trayvon Martin case reeks of racial bias'

Press TV has conducted an interview with Ralph Schoenman, author and political commentator, Berkeley about the issue of the case of George Zimmerman, neighborhood watchman who stalked and then shot and killed unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin and has walked free from court claiming self defense.

Italian lawmaker under fire for racist remark

Italy's unprecedented left-right government continues to make the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The most recent institutional mishap occurred when the vice-president of the Senate, Northern League Party's Roberto Calderoli said Integration minister looks like an orangutan.

Congo-born Cecile Kyenge is Italy's first black minister and has already been the target of many Northern League Party. Minister Kyenge has been the subject of racist abuse, mostly from the anti-immigrant Northern League party and far-right groups, since her appointment last March. 

Corrupt racist US courts don’t recognize African Americans as equals: Mark Mason

Press TV has conducted an interview with Mark Mason, activist and political commentator, San Francisco about the verdict of not guilty for George Zimmerman over the shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin, which has ignited nationwide protests in the US. The following is an approximate transcript of the interview.

Press TV: I’d like to get your opinion on the ‘not guilty’ verdict of George Zimmerman. Was justice served, or was it neglected? 

Mason: No. There is no way justice was served. We have a judicial outrage. Of course, the setting is that here in America, African Americans have never been full citizens with all the rights and privileges of being an American citizen. 

We know about the near genocide of African Americans; the enslavement of them until we had to have a civil war or in the 1860s. On paper in 1865 African Americans became free, but they have never become free of vast deep racism. 

They are the most deeply poor impoverished in the United States. The judicial system does not recognize them as members - honorable and dignified members of our American community.

Press TV: Many observers say that the issue of race played a very prominent role in this case and the trial of George Zimmerman. What has to happen to bring about change in such scenarios and who has the power and the fortitude to bring about that change? 

Mason: We’ll see, but I believe it will not make any significant change. There has been a call for the Department of Justice, Eric Holder, to file a federal civil rights case. Yes go ahead with that, that should be done, it’s on the books, that process should go forward within the context of the clearly corrupt judicial system that we have. 

But we need another mass social justice movement that we had in the 1960s. And we need to come together across the nation to go out into the streets and to begin demanding justice for African Americans in the United States. They are across the board still to this day deeply impoverished and the racism is very real. 

This one statistic: African Americans make up 12 percent of the population. They are 36 percent of the US prison population. And that one statistic alone should tell us that there’s something deeply, deeply wrong; that we still have a deeply racist system. 

The judicial system is racist; the policing system targets African Americans; and they’re not getting justice in the court room. 

A History Of Black Males Murdered With No Justice Before Trayvon Martin

The New York Daily News put out a cover highlighting Trayvon Martin and the Black men who were killed with no justice before him. These are important names to know.

In case you aren't aware, here are the facts behind these cases. The Root also did a great job putting some slides together. http://www.theroot.com/multimedia/beyond-trayvon-black-and-unarmed

Kimani Gray

Sixteen-year-old Kimani was shot four times in the front and side of his body and three times in the back by two New York City police officers as he left a friend's birthday party in Brooklyn on March 9, 2013. The only publicly identified eyewitness is standing by her claim that he was empty-handed when he was gunned down.

Kendrec McDade

Nineteen-year-old college student McDade was shot and killed in March 2012 when officers responded to a report of an armed robbery of a man in Pasadena, Calif. He was later found to be unarmed, with only a cellphone in his pocket. His death has prompted his family to file a lawsuit, in which McDade's parents argue that he was left on the street for a prolonged period of time without receiving first aid. According to court documents, McDade's last words were, "Why did they shoot me?" The officers involved were initially placed on paid administrative leave but have since returned to duty.

Timothy Russell

Russell and his passenger, Malissa Williams, were killed in Cleveland after police officers fired 137 rounds into their car after a chase in December 2012. Officers said they saw a possible weapon, but no weapon or shell casings were found in the fleeing car or along the chase route. 

Ervin Jefferson

The 18-year-old was shot and killed by two security guards -- also African American -- outside his Atlanta home on Saturday, March 24, 2012. His mother says that he was unarmed and trying to protect his sister from a crowd that was threatening her.

Amadou Diallo

In 1999 four officers in street clothes approached Diallo, a West African immigrant with no criminal record, on the stoop of his New York City building, firing 41 shots and striking him 19 times as he tried to escape. They said they thought the 23-year-old had a gun. It was a wallet. The officers were all acquitted of second-degree-murder charges.

Patrick Dorismond

The 26-year-old father of two young girls was shot to death in 2000 during a confrontation with undercover police officers who asked him where they could purchase drugs. An officer claimed that Dorismond -- who was unarmed -- grabbed his gun and caused his own death. But the incident made many wonder whether the recent acquittal of the officers in the Amadou Diallo case sent a signal that the police had a license to kill without consequence.

Ousmane Zongo

In 2003 Officer Bryan A. Conroy confronted and killed Zongo in New York City during a raid on a counterfeit-CD ring with which Zongo had no involvement. Relatives of the 43-year-old man from Burkina Faso settled a lawsuit against the city for $3 million. The judge in the trial of the officer who shot him (and was convicted of criminally negligent homicide but did not serve jail time) said he was "insufficiently trained, insufficiently supervised and insufficiently led."

Timothy Stansbury Jr.

Unarmed and with no criminal record, 19-year-old Stansbury was killed in 2004 in a Brooklyn, N.Y., stairwell. The officer who shot him said he was startled and fired by mistake. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly called his death "a tragic incident that compels us to take an in-depth look at our tactics and training, both for new and veteran officers." A grand jury deemed it an accident.

Orlando Barlow

Barlow was surrendering on his knees in front of four Las Vegas police officers when Officer Brian Hartman shot him in 2003. Hartman was 50 feet away and said he thought the unarmed 28-year-old was reaching for a gun. The deadly shooting was ruled "excusable." But a federal investigation later revealed that Hartman and other officers printed T-shirts labeled "BDRT," which stood for "Baby Daddy Removal Team" and "Big Dogs Run Together," and that they'd used excessive force during two separate investigations.

Aaron Campbell

In 2005 Campbell was shot in the back by Portland, Ore., police Officer Ronald Frashour, who said he thought the unarmed man was reaching toward his waistband for a weapon. Witnesses said the 25-year-old was walking backward toward police with his hands locked behind his head moments before the fatal shot was fired. A grand jury cleared Frashour of criminal wrongdoing but sent a letter to the county district attorney's office condemning police handling of the incident. Campbell's mother received a $1.2 settlement in the family's federal wrongful-death lawsuit against the city of Portland.

Victor Steen

In 2009, 17-year-old Victor, who was riding his bicycle, refused to stop when chased by a police officer in a cruiser in Pensacola, Fla. In response, the officer aimed his Taser out of the driver's window and fired and then ran over the unarmed teen, killing him. The deadly incident was captured on video. A judge ruled that no crime was committed.

Steven Eugene Washington

Washington was shot by gang-enforcement officers Allan Corrales and George Diego in Los Angeles one night in 2010 after he approached them and appeared to remove something from his waistband. The officers said they'd heard a loud sound in the area and the 27-year-old, who was autistic, was looking around suspiciously. No weapon was ever recovered.

Alonzo Ashley

Police say that 29-year-old Ashley refused to stop splashing water from a drinking fountain on his face at the Denver Zoo one hot day in 2011, then made irrational comments and threw a trash can. The responding officers, who didn't dispute that he was unarmed, killed him with a Taser, saying he had "extraordinary strength." No criminal charges were filed against them.

Wendell Allen

Allen was fatally shot in the chest by officers executing a warrant on his house on March 7, 2012, in New Orleans. The 20-year-old was unarmed, and five children were home at the time of his death. Police found 4.5 ounces of marijuana on Allen after they killed him. An attorney for the family says that New Orleans police are investigating whether Officer Joshua Colclough was wrong to pull the trigger.

Ronald Madison and James Brissette

In 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, five officers opened fire on an unarmed family on the east side of the Danziger Bridge, killing 17-year-old James Brissette and wounding four others. Next, officers shot at brothers Lance and Ronald Madison. Ronald, a 40-year-old man with severe mental disabilities, was running away when he was hit, and an officer stomped on and kicked him before he died. In a federal criminal trial, five officers involved in what have become known as the "Danziger Bridge Shootings" were convicted of various civil rights violations, but not murder.

Travares McGill

In 2005 in Sanford, Fla. (the same county in which Travyon Martin was killed), the 16-year-old was killed by two security guards, one of whom testified that Travares was trying to hit him with his car. But evidence showed that the bullet that killed the teen hit him in the middle of the back and that the guard kept firing even after the car was no longer headed toward him.

Ramarley Graham

In 2012 Officer Richard Haste shot and killed 18-year-old Graham in the bathroom of his grandmother’s Bronx, N.Y., home after a chase while he was attempting to flush a bag of marijuana down the toilet. Police did not have a warrant to enter the house, and Graham had no weapon. A grand jury charged the officer with manslaughter, but a judge tossed the indictment in May, ruling that the prosecution inadvertently misled jurors by telling them not to consider whether he was warned that Graham had a gun.

Emmett Till 

We all know the story of the most famous lynching in America. He was walking down the street and got murdered. The pain reverberates today.

Willie Edwards, Jr.

He was a 24-year-old who was lynched in Alabama in 1957. Officials said his body was too decomposed to determine a cause of death. 

James Chaney

He, along with James Goodman and Mickey Schwerner were murdered in Neshoba County, MS. Their bodies weren't found for days and the killers were given light sentences. 

Michael Donald 

He was lynched in Alabama in 1981 in what people call the “last recorded lynching.” But we know better. 

Yusef Hawkins

He was murdered for being in the wrong neighborhood in New York. Rappers spoke on him in the 80s but justice was never served.

James Byrd 

He was murdered by three men in Texas…one of whom was an admitted white supremacist.

Oscar Grant 

Oakland, Calif., transit-police Officer Johannes Mehserle said that he accidentally used his gun instead of his Taser when he shot Grant on a train platform on New Year's Day 2009. The 22-year-old was lying face down with his hands behind his back, being subdued by another police officer, when he was killed. Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to only two years for taking Grant's life. He was released after 11 months.

Sean Bell

He was shot and killed right before his wedding by plain clothes officers who thought he was someone else.  In the early-morning hours of what was supposed to be 23-year-old Bell's wedding day, police fired more than 50 bullets at a car carrying him and his friends outside a Queens, N.Y., strip club in 2006. Bell was killed, and two of his friends were wounded. The city of New York agreed to pay more than $7 million to settle a federal lawsuit filed by the family and two friends of Bell. The three detectives who were charged -- one of whom yelled "gun," although Bell was unarmed -- were found not guilty of all charges. Just this March, the NYPD fired four of the officers involved in the shooting for disobeying departmental guidelines on the scene.

Illinois Honor Student Knocked Unconscious With Broken Teeth When Assaulted By Female Cop After Unrelated Brawl At Diner

On June 29th 2013, Gabriella Calhoun’s life changed forever. The night was warm and clear, and after partying with friends, Gabriella and her friends decided to go to their local neighborhood Denny’s to get a late night meal. Gabby is an honor student at Wiley College. She finished high school a year early and went to college a year before the rest of her cohort.

Sitting on the left side of Denny’s so they can have a view of the parking lot, her crew of 17, all high school graduates, witnessed a fight between two girls. As the group of college bound students were ordering their drinks, the cops were called.

When officers arrived on the scene, they entered the Denny’s and approached Gabriella’s table and asked if they had anything to do with the fight. A friend, who shall remain nameless, told the officers that they were not involved with the fight at all at which the cops left and went back outside.

The two girls who were fighting outside were allowed to go into the Denny’s to “clean themselves up.” One girl was previously maced by a police officer in the parking lot for acting unruly. When the two girls saw each other inside of Denny’s, they started to fight again. The cops rushed into the restaurant to break the fight up.

As the cops tried to clear Denny’s, they again approached Gabriella’s table, at which a close friend of hers told the cops they were not involved with the party that was fighting. The cops grabbed the nameless young man, (he wants his name protected out of fear of retaliation), and escorted him out of Denny’s. Gabriella followed them and grabbed his side. As she exited the Denny’s she felt a grip on her neck and arm and says that out of reaction, she tried to pull away.

What happened next was unimaginable. According to her friends, Gabriella was hit in the face with a night stick by a female officer and was knocked unconscious. When Gabriella finally gained consciousness, the Wiley College Student said, “I awoke spitting my teeth out on the ground.”

Gabriella then stated, “When I came to, the officer begin to choke me again. When I was finally able to talk, I asked the officer to please let me go because I have asthma, but she [the officer], said, ‘I don’t care if you have asthma. You were hitting my officer.’”

“Afterward, the officer kept saying over and over again, ‘how was your party’ as she held my face to the ground.”

The female cop then lifted the petite honor student off of the ground, at which her b*****s were exposed because the tube top shirt she was wearing had rolled down. She asked the officer if she could please pull up her shirt, but the officer told her to do it herself. She then walked Gabriella all the way from the front of the Denny’s to the back where the cop cars were.

Gabriella was then sent to the precinct where she was booked on one charge of felony aggravated battery and two misdemeanors for resisting arrest.

“I think this is racial profiling not only by the Bloomington police department but also by Denny’s,” stated Lynia Cooper, friend of the victim. “Nobody else in Denny’s had to leave except the African Americans in that area. The police didn’t hear us out and ultimately used cruel and unusual force on Gabby.”

Cooper added, “Might I add the police didn’t even arrest the females that were involved in the altercations.”

Suffice to say, Gabriella is distraught and saddened by the ordeal.

“The whole situation is out of hand,” stated the frightened teen. “I don’t deserve this and now I hate to look in the mirror. When I look at what I use to look like to what I look like now, it hurts. I had the prettiest smile but now I have 3 fake teeth in my mouth. Nothing is the same. I have to train myself to talk with my new teeth.”

These cops got some cotdamn ‘splainin’ to do! The article states that Dr. Boyce Watkins is planning to meet with Rev. Al and Jesse Jackson this week to get their 2 cents on this case.

Sounds like the makings of another sad national story about black kids suffering at the hands of overzealous police.

In a 25-minute video presented at Wilson's ongoing death sentence re-trial in Brooklyn federal Court yesterday, the battalion slips into heavy armor and are shown marching off to confront Wilson. In procedural interviews conducted before their mission, each guard describes being assigned to imobilize a different part of Wilson's body.

Finally, the burly crew rushes through a door that leads into the recreational area and swarms Wilson as he struggles to stay on his feet, the clip shows.

The guards finally wrangle him to the ground as he chirps about their rough treatment.

Finally shackled, the video depicts the rattled killer being led off to a cell where additional chains are applied to his hands and feet.

Sorority Girl Wrongly Locked Up

According to Mail Online

A college student who was buying sparkling water, ice cream and cookie dough for a sorority fundraiser spent a night in jail after authorities mistook the bottles for a 12-pack of beer.

Elizabeth Daly, a 20-year-old University of Virginia student, said she was ‘terrified’ when a group of plainclothes state Alcoholic Beverage Control agents approached her car in the dark.

Having just attended an evening vigil on campus where women shared stories of their experiences with sexual assault, Miss Daly, who was with her college roommate, said she ‘panicked’ when she saw the men and drove off, before being arrested and charged with three felonies.

‘They were showing unidentifiable badges after they approached us, but we became frightened, as they were not in anything close to a uniform,’ Miss Daly, 20 recalled last week in a written account of the April 11 incident.

‘I couldn’t put my windows down unless I started my car, and when I started my car, they began yelling to not move the car, not to start the car.

They began trying to break the windows. My roommates and I were … terrified,’ she explained.

Police say one of the agents, who had mistaken Miss Daly’s purchase of LaCroix sparkling water from the Harris Teeter in the Barracks Road Shopping Center, for a pack of beer, jumped on the hood of her car. Miss Daly claims that one drew a gun.

After fleeing the parking lot in the SUV and ‘grazing’ two of the plainclothes officers, Miss Daly said she called 911 to report the attack, and also confirm the identities of the officers.

Another Alcoholic Beverage Control agent in a police vehicle pulled over the car, where Miss Daly was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer.

Charges have since been dropped against the student, with Charlottesville Commonwealth’s Attorney Dave Chapman telling The Daily Progess that ‘it wouldn’t be right’ to prosecute the case.

The case is currently under review by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Bureau of Law Enforcement,

a state-run agency whose mission is to safely and responsibly administer the sale and consumption of alcohol.

‘This has been an extremely trying experience,’ said Miss Daly. ‘It is something to this day I cannot understand or believe has come to this point.’

Maybe the police were trying to meet a quota…we smell a lawsuit.

LAPD Supports Section 8 Hate Group That Labels Black People As “The Creeping Darkness” Who Are “Ghettoizing” Neighborhoods

The LAPD, which is home of the nation’s largest sheriff’s department, have yet again been put on blast for their shady antics against African-Americans and minorities in general.

This time, a Department of Justice Investigation into their police force unveiled the LAPD’s association with a section 8 hate group known for openly  making racist comments about the African-American community.

via Think Progress

The nation’s largest sheriff’s department has systematically targeted blacks and Hispanics for stops, seizures, and excessive force in two counties north of Los Angeles, a new Department of Justice investigation finds.

In results from a two-year investigation, the agency’s civil rights division found that police practices ranging from overt racist comments to illegal searches and arrests plagued the region known as Antelope Valley, as its population changed from primarily white to two-thirds black and Hispanic.

Residents vocally associated an increase in recipients of federal housing vouchers with race, writing on a Facebook page entitled “I Hate Section 8,” that the neighborhood was being “ghettoized,” and lamented “the creeping darkness.” Among the illegal police practices was aggressive police investigations and searches into primarily minorities’ eligibility for the vouchers, with police even sending photos from voucher recipients’ premises to the organizers of the ani-Section 8 movement.

Other evidence of racial bias included statements by officers that all new African American residents of the region were gang members, routine suspicionless detention in police cars of domestic violence victims and minor traffic offenders, and excessive force incidents overwhelmingly against minorities.

A statistical analysis found that officers were far more likely to stop and/or search blacks and Hispanics, even controlling for the crime rate by race, and even though the likelihood of finding contraband on minorities was 50 percent lower

We doubt anyone is surprised to hear that the LAPD are the leaders of the racial profiling movement against African-Americans, but the fact that they were sloppy enough to support this openly racist group and got caught speaks volumes of their “professionalism” and regard for their jobs period.

Big dummies united.
