Police State - Official Thread

Very disturbing incident and shows how much a cop can mess up a person's life if he wants to. He even managed to involuntarily commit the poor woman to a hospital for 5 days. I hope the cop (and the person recording and any others who aided him in his criminal scheme) gets life in prison but he will probably get away with very little, if any, prison time.


Pennsylvania cop arrested for improperly committing ex-girlfriend to mental facility



A married Pennsylvania State Police trooper is facing false imprisonment charges after he allegedly violently detained his ex-girlfriend and committed her to a mental health treatment program under bogus claims.

Ronald Davis, 37, was arrested Thursday on accusations he abused his authority to carry out the twisted takedown that left his former girlfriend improperly stuck in a medical facility for multiple days, the Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office said.

Davis reportedly told her: “I know you’re not crazy, I’ll paint you as crazy” leading up to the forced medical treatment, the victim claimed, according to court documents released by the district attorney’s office.

His quest to have his ex committed began on Aug. 21 when he sought help from fellow troopers because he said the victim — identified by the district attorney as M.F. — had mental health problems, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

On advice from state police, Davis, off duty at the time, contacted county officials via his police email account and identified himself as a trooper, to obtain an order after he submitted purported texts from her in which she threatened suicide, according to the court docs.

Once he got the order approved, the trooper went after the woman, whom he had dated for about four months, before uniformed troopers reached her, authorities alleged.

“I’ll take care of it myself,” he allegedly said.

Davis, who prosecutors said is married with a family, is facing charges of:
felony strangulation
unlawful restraint
false imprisonment
simple assault
recklessly endangering another person
official oppression

Family says toddler hospitalized after Elyria police raid home in mistaken identity case

A family said Elyria police raided their home in a case of mistaken identity and injured a 17-month-old toddler born with severe health complications.

“The baby is now in the ICU. He’s got burns all over him, inside of his lungs are burned,” said Reida Jennings, who rents the home raided by police. “He’s already a special-needs baby. He’s a trach baby. He was on his ventilator, they let the baby lay there for about 35 to 45 minutes in the smoke.”

An Idealistic Cop, a Forbidden Ticket and a Police Career on the Brink

Mathew Bianchi took routine traffic stops seriously and handed out tickets regardless of people’s connections within the Police Department. He says he was punished for it.

A red Mazda sped past a police officer’s unmarked car stationed at a tree-lined Staten Island intersection. The officer inside, Mathew Bianchi, clocked the Mazda at well over the limit and prepared to make a stop at a nearby streetlight. But the car blew through a red light. Bianchi turned on his siren.

Behind the wheel was a woman in her late teens or early 20s. As Bianchi began to explain why he had stopped her, she handed him a card.

The police unions distribute the wallet-sized courtesy cards — sometimes referred to as “get out of jail free” cards — to members, who in turn pass them out to friends and family. Bianchi had been instructed to let card carriers off without a ticket.

By the time he pulled over the Mazda in November 2018, drivers were handing Bianchi these cards six or seven times a day. But this woman’s card was a little older, a little tattered-looking. It was difficult to make out the contact information of the officer who had given it to her, which is usually written on the card’s back. So Bianchi did the wrong thing, which is to say, the right thing: He wrote the woman a ticket.

Though Bianchi didn’t know it then, he had just begun what would become a yearslong struggle to do the job the way he thought it should be done. He had inherited his moral obligations — and a strong dose of stubbornness — from his grandmother, who raised him on Staten Island. But he had no family in the Police Department, and no one who could tell him what to do when its leadership began to turn against him.

DOJ's Uvalde report finds "unimaginable failure" in school shooting response

A federal report investigating the police response to the May 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, found multiple failures by officers that allowed the attack to continue even as police were at the school.

The report, conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing, known as the COPS Office, looked at thousands of pieces of data and documentation and relied on more than 260 interviews, including with law enforcement and school personnel, family members of victims, and witnesses and survivors from the massacre. The team investigating visited Uvalde nine times, spending 54 days on the ground in the small community.

In a news conference after the release of the report, Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said the law enforcement response was an "unimaginable failure," and that "a lack of action by adults failed to protect children and their teachers."

In the report, much of the blame was placed on former police chief of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, , who was terminated in the wake of the shooting, although the report also said that some officers' actions "may have been influenced by policy and training deficiencies."

Here are some other takeaways from the 600-page report:

The report found that police were on the scene within minutes of the attack being reported, and 11 officers went into the school three minutes after arriving on the scene. Five went toward the classroom, but all of the officers retreated for cover after initial shots.

After three attempts to approach the classrooms where 19 students and two teachers were killed, the focus shifted from stopping the shooter to evacuating other rooms, the report said.

The report found there was "a great deal of confusion, miscommunication, a lack of urgency and a lack of incident command."

The report referred to this response as a critical failure, stating that several officers acted consistently with accepted practices before retreating after hearing gunfire. Police also focused more on additional SWAT tactical officers arriving, a strategy that the report said should not delay a response. Since the Columbine school shooting, a "fundamental precept" of active shooter response "must be to immediately neutralize the subject," according to the report.

"Everything else, including officer safety, is subordinate to that objective," the report said.

The report stated that Uvalde Police Department acting chief Mariano Pargas, who has since resigned from his position, was in the "best position to start taking command and control and start coordinating with approaching personnel," but Arredondo wound up in charge of the scene. Arredondo has previously said he did not know he was in charge of the scene.

The report found that the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District did not have an active shooter policy, but did have a policy specifically related to incident command roles and responsibilities.

Twenty-seven minutes after the second round of gunshots and 75 minutes after officers first entered the building, the classroom doors were opened, the report said, and two minutes later, police entered the classroom. Responding officers included members of the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, the Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue Unit, and deputies from Uvalde and Zavala counties.

The shooter fired 45 rounds "in the presence of officers" before being killed, the report said.

Show me the list and I will decide who is to blame for said problems. My guess is that it is people in general, both left and right.

Who said men can become biological women and women can become biological men?

A person with XX chromosomes usually has female sex and reproductive organs, and is therefore usually assigned biologically female. A person with XY chromosomes usually has male sex and reproductive organs. But this doesn't end here. Because there are men with XX chromosomes and women with XY chromosomes. This can happen, when a gene on the Y chromosome ends up on an X chromosome, causing that X chromosome to function more like a Y. The term “sex chromosomes” is really something of a misnomer. Confused yet?

Federal Appeals Court Slams FBI’s Actions In Security Deposit Box Raid

This morning, a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel unanimously ruled against the government in a long-running class action lawsuit from the Institute for Justice (IJ) on behalf of people who rented security deposit boxes at US Private Vaults. The decision slammed the FBI for overstepping its authority when it opened up hundreds of renters’ boxes, conducted criminal searches of them all, and attempted to permanently keep everything in the boxes worth more than $5,000, all without charging any box renter with a crime.

“Today’s opinion draws a line in the sand, to ensure something like this never happens again,” said IJ Senior Attorney Rob Johnson. “If this had come out the other way, the government could have exported this raid as a model across the country. Now, the government is on notice its actions violated the Fourth Amendment.”

Judge Milan D. Smith, writing for the court, likened the FBI’s actions to the abuses that motivated the Bill of Rights: “[T]he government failed to explain why applying the inventory exception to this case would not open the door to the kinds of ‘writs of assistance’ the British authorities used prior to the Founding to conduct limitless searches of an individual’s personal belongings. It was those very abuses of power, after all, that led to adoption of the Fourth Amendment in the first place.”

“We knew that what the FBI did to us and so many others was wrong and today’s decision is a validation,” said Jennifer Snitko. “It took courage for Paul and I to be among the first people to stand up publicly and call out the government but we are proud to have fought for our rights. This is a good day for our country and the principle that the government’s power to search our property has limits.”

For years, the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) insisted that they did nothing wrong at US Private Vaults. Even though the warrant authorizing the raid only permitted the FBI to open boxes to identify their owners and safeguard the contents, agents rummaged through hundreds of boxes, ran currency they found in front of drug sniffing dogs, and made copies of people’s most personal records. The DOJ then filed a massive administrative forfeiture claim to take more than $100 million in cash and other valuables, again, without charging any individual with a crime.

“The government promised the magistrate that it would not conduct a criminal search or seizure of the boxes,” said IJ Senior Attorney Robert Frommer. “After years of litigation, today’s opinion shows that not to be true. The government lied to justify its forfeiture scheme, and in the end the lie was its undoing.”

Facial recognition technology causes man’s false arrest for Sunglass Hut, Macy’s robberies leading to jail gang rape

A Texas man filed a lawsuit against the owners of Sunglass Hut and Macy’s after he was falsely identified as a violent armed robber through facial technology.

Harvey Murphy was arrested in October 2022 for the armed burglary of a Huston-area Sunglass Hut store after a facial recognition device identified him as the burglar. The only problem? Murphy was in Sacramento, California at the time of the crime—thousands of miles away.

Making matters worse, Murphy, now 61, says he was brutally sexually assaulted in jail just hours before he was set to be released after the charges against him were dropped. In a lawsuit filed last week, Murphy claims that his arrest was the result of gross negligence from the facial recognition company—and he demands $10 million in damages to compensate for his wrongful imprisonment.

NSA purchase of Americans’ personal data from brokers is illegal, senator says

Sen. Ron Wyden on Thursday asserted that National Security Agency’s (NSA) purchase of Americans’ internet records from data brokers is illegal based on a recent Federal Trade Commission ruling.

The Oregon Democrat released documents showing senior defense officials acknowledging they buy commercial data, including internet metadata and information associated with phones located inside the U.S. The officials said they do not buy location data.

Wyden said the NSA has fought the public release of the information for three years, and the agency only agreed to it after he placed a hold on the nomination of incoming NSA director, Lt. General Timothy Haugh.

In releasing the documents, Wyden again demanded the Biden administration prohibit intelligence agencies from buying personal data that has been procured from data brokers. He cited a recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) order outlining that data brokers must get Americans’ informed consent before peddling certain data to U.S. military customers without consumers’ informed consent.

CIA and foreign intelligence agencies illegally targeted 26 Trump associates before 2016 Russia collusion claims: report
nypost ^ | 2/13/2024 | victor nava
Posted on 2/13/2024, 11:14:11 PM

The US Intelligence Community asked foreign spy agencies to surveil 26 associates of Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2016 election, which triggered the allegations that the former president’s campaign had been colluding with Russia, according to a report.

Former CIA Director John Brennan identified and presented the targets to the US’s intelligence-sharing partners in the so-called “Five Eyes” agencies – the intelligence-gathering organizations in the US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand – according to a report published Monday on Michael Shellenberger’s Public Substack.

The report by independent journalists Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag has not been confirmed by The Post.

They cite multiple unnamed sources, including ones close to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, led by Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio).

Turner’s office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The US intelligence community had “identified” the 26 Trump associates “as people to ‘bump,’ or make contact with or manipulate,” one source told the outlet.

In spy-speak, “bumping” is when a reason is manufactured to meet with a target of interest in order to develop a relationship that could lead to intelligence.

“They were targets of our own IC and law enforcement — targets for collection and misinformation,” the source said.

Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters intelligence apparatus, or GCHQ, was making contacts with Trump’s associates as early as March 2016, according to the report.

“They were making contacts and bumping Trump people going back to March 2016,” a source told the outlet. “They were sending people around the UK, Australia, Italy — the Mossad in Italy. The MI6 was working at an intelligence school they had set up.”

A GCHQ spokesperson told the outlet that claims it was “asked to conduct ‘wire tapping’ against the then president-elect are nonsense.”

Florida deputy fires weapon after mistaking sound of acorn hitting patrol car for gunshot

A Florida deputy is seen firing his weapon repeatedly at his patrol vehicle after mistaking the sound of an acorn hitting the roof of the car for a muffled gunshot, according to video released alongside a sheriff's office investigation.

Newly released body camera footage of the November 2023 incident shows the dramatic moments the Okaloosa County deputy shot at his patrol vehicle while a handcuffed suspect was inside.

"I'm hit! I'm hit!" the deputy, Jesse Hernandez, can be heard yelling, though no one was shooting at him.

As he stumbled to the ground, Hernandez yelled "Shots fired!" four times, according to the video and an internal investigation conducted by by the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office of Professional Standards. He then opens fire on his vehicle.

A sergeant with the sheriff's office also fired her weapon multiple times at the patrol vehicle, believing Hernandez was in danger, according to the report.

Sources Say U.S. Intelligence Agencies Tasked Foreign Partners With Spying On Trump’s 2016 Campaign

The U.S. Intelligence Community asked fellow members of the “‘Five Eyes’ intelligence alliance to surveil Trump’s associates and share the intelligence they acquired with US agencies,” sources told a small team of independent reporters who broke the story yesterday.

In “CIA Had Foreign Allies Spy on Trump Team, Triggering Russia Collusion Hoax, Sources Say,” journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag reported that top-line takeaway, along with several other key details. According to the authors, “multiple credible sources,” said that “the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016.”

Iowa Cops Arrested a Sober College Student for Driving Intoxicated. His Lawsuit Is Moving Forward

An Iowa college student was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, even though he showed no physical signs of intoxication and a breathalyzer test showed a blood-alcohol level of 0.00. The man has now sued the officer who falsely arrested him—and as part of a lengthy legal battle, a federal court has ruled that the case can go forward.

In August 2022, 19-year-old Tayvin Galanakis was driving late at night in Newton, Iowa, when he was pulled over by local police officers Nathan Winters and Christopher Wing. According to body camera footage, Winters almost immediately began interrogating Galanakis about his alcohol consumption.

When Galanakis denies drinking, Winters replied "What do you mean none?" In response, Galanakis suggested that he take a breathalyzer test. However, Winters instead subjected Galanakis to a series of field sobriety tests. While Galanakis appears sober, Winters claims he failed the tests. Finally, Winters gives Galankis a breathalyzer test that shows that Galanakis is completely sober. But instead of letting Galankis go, Winters then shifted to quizzing Galanakis about how much marijuana he had smoked.

"I've had no weed tonight," Galanakis told Winters. "I blew a zero so now you're trying to think I smoked weed? That's what's going on. You can't do that, man. You really can't do that."

Galanakis was arrested and taken to a local police station, where he underwent further drug testing, all of which came back negative. Soon after his arrest, Galanakis published body camera footage from the incident. The lightly edited footage sparked intense backlash online and eventually gained more than 2 million views on YouTube.

Last week, a federal judge ruled that Galanakis' case could go forward, finding that a reasonable juror "could conclude that Winters violated Galanakis's clearly established constitutional rights."

Judge Stephen H. Locher found that Winters had no probable cause to arrest Galanakis because his "speech and movements were not even remotely consistent with someone under the influence of a controlled substance." Adding, "Galanakis insisted almost from the first moment that he wanted to blow into a breathalyzer, which would be a remarkable act of bravado for someone under the influence."

However, the ruling isn't a complete victory for Galanakis. Locher found that Galanakis' comments that Winters "is on the slow side of the spectrum" and "is not fit mentally for the job and physically" weren't defamatory. However, Locher did find that Winters could continue suing Galanakis for defamation over Galanakis' comment that Winters was "convicted" of domestic abuse. While Winters' ex-girlfriend received a domestic abuse restraining order and submitted an affidavit alleging abuse, Winters has never been charged, much less convicted of domestic abuse.

Police officer laughs about woman struck and killed by patrol car in shocking bodycam video

Shocking body cam footage shows a police officer laughing about a woman who was struck and killed by a patrol car in Seattle.

Jaahnavi Kandula, 23, was killed in January on a crosswalk near her university campus after she was struck by a patrol car while police were responding to an overdose in the South Lake Union neighborhood.

Seattle Police said the officer driving the patrol vehicle was responding to a priority-one call when the incident happened. The officer was going 74mph in a 25mph speed zone.

Police ruled the incident was an accident, and returned the unnamed officer to duty shortly after.

Authorities are now investigating bodycam footage released by Seattle Police on Monday from the incident which shows officer Daniel Auderer — who is also the vice president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild — insulting and laughing about the 23-year-old student.

In the footage, Mr Auderer can be heard saying: “There is initially – he said she was in a crosswalk, there is a witness that said, ‘No she wasn’t,’ but that could be different, because I don’t think she was thrown 40 feet, either.”

Mr Auderer can then be heard saying: “She is dead,” before laughing.

He continues: “No, it’s a regular person – yeah, yeah, just write a check, just, yeah,” before laughing again.

“$11,000. She was 26 anyway, she had limited value,” he says.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/seattle-police-jaahnavi-kandula-bodycam-footage-b2409895.html

The cops did say the poor woman had "limited value" and unfortunately the police/prosecution/court syndicate confirmed it. This is how they treat "ordinary" people, but if it's one of their ilk that is affected they raise hell.


Police officer gets traffic infraction for fatally hitting college student at 63 mph

The police officer who fatally struck a college student while driving almost three times the speed limit was charged Friday with a traffic infraction, according to local articles out of Seattle, Washington.

Prosecutors said that there’s no evidence that Officer Kevin Dave was impaired or driving recklessly when hitting Jaahnavi Kandula, 23, reported The Seattle Times. They previously said there would be no criminal case.

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office previously said that there’s not enough evidence to show that Dave was driving “consciously disregarding safety,” according to Seattle ABC affiliate KOMO.
