Police State - Official Thread

[Skeletor]

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Apparently the cops decided that there is a special exemption that allows criminal gangs to shoot anybody they want and get away with it. This woman was inside her home when an armed criminal who was prowling suspiciously around her home "orders" her to put her hands up and instantly shoots her dead through the window. Of course the killer is now enjoying paid vacation and remains anonymous due to his gang affiliation. Let's see what sort of excuses the criminals will concoct to cover up their crimes.

Woman fatally shot inside her home by Fort Worth officer

A Fort Worth Police Department officer fatally shot a woman who was inside her home early Saturday morning.

This fatal officer-involved shooting happened just before 2:30 a.m., when police got a call about a home’s front door being open in the 1200 block of E. Allen Ave.

Just hours after the shooting, police released the officer's body camera video, which is less than two minutes long. It shows him arrive at the home, and while searching the area, he looks inside the home through a window and sees a person standing inside.

According to police, the officer pulled out his service weapon after “perceiving a threat.”

On the body camera video, the officer can be heard saying, “Put your hands up. Show me your hands,” before shooting through the window at the person inside.

The officer couldn’t be heard saying anything before that.

Officers then went into the home, and found a woman, identified as 28-year-old Atatiana Jefferson, who had been shot by the officer, along with a handgun. Police have not said whether the gun was found near Jefferson, or found in another part of the home.

Just hours after the shooting, police released the officer's body camera video, which is less than two minutes long.

Fort Worth police officer jailed on murder charge after resigning in shooting that killed woman in home



The white Fort Worth police officer accused of shooting a black woman inside her home over the weekend, killing her, has been jailed on a murder charge, online court records revealed Monday. The charge against Aaron Dean was made public hours after the officer resigned from the force. Bond was not immediately set.

Dean's resignation letter read: "Effective immediately I am tendering my resignation from the Fort Worth Police Department." The letter was released by the state's largest police union, the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas. The group’s executive director, Charley Wilkison, said that Dean has not yet hired an attorney but that one will be provided with financial support from the union.

Officer draws gun, breaks man’s leg during traffic stop. Driver not charged with crime

A police body camera video showing a Doral officer pulling his weapon and breaking a man’s leg while forcefully arresting him during a traffic enforcement detail appears to contradict the chain of events described in the arrest report.

The video was damning enough that state prosecutors decided not to move forward with charges against motorist Craig Nembhard. The officer who pulled his weapon on the unarmed man is now under internal investigation and the city of Doral was given notice in late September that the man whose leg was broken intends to file a civil rights lawsuit arguing police used excessive force.

Stand by. Any moment now, the Police will announce that the femur in question was given detention twice during high school, before stating that they can't comment on an active investigation.

Of course the cop union defends him. The man was also charged with "resisting arrest without violence". So according to the cops the man committed "aggravated assault" against them but he also "resisted arrest without violence". The man spent 5 days in the hospital where a rod was put in his leg and then he was taken to jail so he lost his job and then lost his apartment because he didn't have a job. It took 5 months for the prosecutors to decide to drop charges against the man with the broken leg. No charges against the cops yet.

“The guy was arrested and during the arrest his leg was broken,” said Doral Police spokesman Rey Valdes.

The video seems at odds with the arrest report written by Doral Police Officer Jack St. Thomas.

In the report, Thomas said that Nembhard “directed his vehicle towards officer Cooper, which created a well-founded fear that defendant, who was agitated and angry, was about to thrust his vehicle at officer Cooper. Officer Cooper, in fear for his life, unholstered his duty weapon and pointed it at the defendant while simultaneously stepping out of the direct path of he vehicle, which was driving directly towards him.”

The video shows Cooper calmly stepping to the side of Nembhard’s barely moving car and quickly pulling his gun. Nembhard was arrested and charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest without violence. After reviewing the evidence, state prosecutors decided against moving forward with the charges. The state said it couldn’t prove the case “beyond a reasonable doubt” and that Cooper was made aware of the decision.

Still, Cooper maintains the support of his union, the Miami-Dade branch of the Police Benevolent Association. President Steadman Stahl said from the “limited” video he’s seen, the officer acted properly and that two officers actually drew their weapons.

A homeless man who pleaded guilty to trafficking cocaine had his case dismissed after the substance turned out to be powdered milk.

Cody Gregg told a judge he entered the plea so he could get out of the Oklahoma County jail.

Gregg, 26, pleaded guilty last week to possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and was sentenced to 15 years in prison, court records show. He asked to withdraw his plea after receiving a negative lab report. Oklahoma County District Judge Timothy R. Henderson granted the request on Thursday and the case was dismissed the next day.

Gregg had been in Oklahoma County jail since his arrest in August. He was released Friday, according to jail records.

Child abusers.

Mountain View police officers named in lawsuit over traumatic forced exam of 5-year-old's genitals

A Mountain View family filed a federal lawsuit against the city claiming that Mountain View Police Department officers unlawfully forced their 5-year-old daughter to undergo a traumatic sexual assault exam, violating their civil rights and running afoul of department protocol.

The suit, filed on behalf of parents Annie and Douglas Lother last month, seeks a jury trial after three officers showed up at the family's house on Jan. 28 and demanded the child's genitals be examined by a paramedic. Officers reportedly believed the child may have been a victim of sexual abuse.

The child had injured her pubic area three days prior when she fell at a Sky High Sports trampoline park, according to the civil complaint. The injury had healed, but the girl mentioned that her vagina had bled or was bleeding while she was at Landels Elementary School and a teacher or principal made a referral to either Child Protective Services (CPS) or law enforcement. The girl was pulled from class and questioned on Jan. 28.

Later that day, officers -- identified in the suit as Mark Poirier, Mason Motomura and Matthew Rogers -- reportedly pounded on the door of the family's home, entered and refused to explain why they were there, according to the suit. A social worker with the county, identified as Joseph Phan, accompanied the officers and also did not explain the nature of the report that brought them there -- a requirement under California law.

The girl was separated from her mother and questioned in the front yard in plain view of the public, the lawsuit states. She told officers that she had injured herself at a trampoline park and, after minutes of interrogation, started to whine and told them she didn't want to answer any more questions. According to the suit, Poirier is heard on a police body camera recording saying that the concerns of possible sexual abuse seemed "more and more unfounded," and that the injuries were innocent in nature.

After asking several probing questions to Douglas Lother, including how he disciplines his daughters and if there was "anything more" he could tell officers to understand "a little bit more about the situation," the officers gave an ultimatum: allow a paramedic to inspect the child's genitals or have her forcibly transported to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center for an examination.

The suit states that the parents tried multiple times to offer alternatives, including a trip to a physician to verify the injury was not serious and healing. Danielle Lother also offered contact information for witnesses who could corroborate the story that the girl injured herself at a trampoline park.

The Lothers say they were forced to hold down their child and pull off her clothes for the paramedic while she was kicking and crying. The paramedic commented that she couldn't see without better lighting, leading Douglas Lother to pull out the flashlight on his phone to assist in the examination.

"In a nightmarish moment of his life, Douglas (Lother) actually found himself holding a flashlight with one hand, pointed at his daughter's private parts, while he and his wife were holding down their struggling, screaming, crying 5-year-old daughter, as a stranger was putting her fingers on his child's labia and spreading the outer folds of the labia with her fingers to visually inspect them in the bright light of a flashlight held by Douglas," according to the suit.

Let's see if these criminals will end up in prison or if they'll get a promotion and a hefty bonus.

Florida Cop and Police Chief Both Charged in Shooting Death of Elderly Woman During Training Exercise

Punta Gorda police officer Lee Coel was finally charged in the shooting death of Mary Knowlton, the 73-year-old retired librarian who was shot and killed during a citizens academy last year.

Punta Gordo Police Chief Tom Lewis, who has defended Coel throughout his troubled career, was also charged, State Attorney Steve Russell announced during a press conference Wednesday.

Coel, who shot and killed Knowlton during an exercise in which he was supposed to use blanks last August, was charged with manslaughter, which is a first degree felony. He is facing up to 30 years in prison.

Lewis was charged with culpable negligence, which is a misdemeanor. He faces up to 60 days in jail, according to a press release from the state attorney’s office.

Coel turned himself in earlier today but was quickly released after posting a $5,000 bond. Lewis was issued a summons to appear in court, according to WINK News.

Coel, who has been on paid administrative leave since August 9, 2016 incident, has a long history of abuse as we pointed out last year.

He is the same cop who allowed his police dog to maul a man for riding a bicycle at night without lights.

“I’ve been saying for months that this guy was going to kill somebody and now he has killed somebody,” attorney Scott Weinberg said during a telephone interview with Photography is Not a Crime last year.

“Everybody had been put on notice that he was a loose cannon, that he should not have had a badge and a gun. The city, the state attorney and the police department knew he was not mentally fit to serve the public.”

But Chief Lewis continued to defend Coel, even after the cop fired a gun with live ammunition during a “shoot, don’t shoot” exercise, celebrating the fact that Coel was an award-winning officer, even if he did have a history of disciplinary actions against him, including a forced resignation from another law enforcement agency.

Knowlton had signed up for the citizens academy class because she wanted to show her support for police during a time when police were being criticized nationwide for their abusive tactics.

The incident led to a $2 million settlement for her family in November.

Ex-Florida officer who fatally shot retired librarian during drill gets no jail time

A former Florida police officer who fatally shot a 73-year-old retired librarian during a demonstration for the public in 2016 will not serve jail time. Then-officer Lee Coel was performing in a "shoot/don't shoot" exercise with the Punta Gorda Police Department in the summer of 2016 when he shot Mary Knowlton, who had volunteered to participate.

She was struck by the fatal bullet in front of about three dozen people, including Knowlton's husband of 55 years, who were at the citizen police academy watching the drill about police use of firearms.

Coel, who was charged the following year with felony manslaughter with a firearm, accepted a plea deal this week, sparing him from serving jail time, according to NBC affiliate WBBH. The deal stipulates that he spend 10 years on probation. He had faced up to 30 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Ex-Miccosukee Cop Who Forced Teens to Run Naked Found Guilty

A former Miccosukee police officer accused of forcing two teens to strip naked and run down a secluded road in the Everglades during a 2016 traffic stop was convicted Thursday on four felony charges: 2 counts each of extortion and unlawful compensation.

Martinez had pulled the two teens over after they ran a stop sign on Aug. 5, 2016. After he found a small amount of marijuana in the car, he told the teens to follow him down a secluded road, then told them they'd go to jail if they didn't strip naked.

Once they were naked, Martinez forced the teens to run down the road, then tried to get the teen girl to perform a sex act on him, prosecutors said. The victims, who were 18 at the time, said they felt they had no option but to do what Martinez said.

Martinez faces up to 60 years in prison at sentencing, scheduled for Nov. 25.

Unannounced Aurora cop shot man in the back through a window in his home

An Aurora police officer allegedly shot a 22-year-old man in the back through a window in the man’s home Oct. 10, an attorney familiar with the matter told The Sentinel Tuesday.

Defense attorney Birk Baumgartner said officers did not announce they were outside the house of Andy Huff, 22, in the city’s Side Creek neighborhood nor identify themselves as police officers prior to the shooting last Thursday. He said one officer opened fire, shooting five times into the house and striking Huff in the buttocks. Baumgartner said Huff was critically injured in the shooting. His colon was severed and the officer’s bullet is still lodged in the lower portion of his body.

Police did not immediately return requests for comments about the allegations. In a news release issued Tuesday, a spokeswoman wrote that “no further information is available for release at this time.” The officer involved in the shooting has been placed on paid administrative leave, per department policy, police said.

Once again we see the criminals lying... This sort of violence against an elderly man by a brutish 6ft 4 criminal was according to them "reasonable and appropriate"... Only after the footage was "discovered" was this pussy charged. If his buddies and accessories don't protect him he will probably not be very popular in jail.

Lawsuit filed after body cam video shows corrections officer slam handcuffed man to the ground

Cocke County originally claimed the man resisted and the "force was reasonable and appropriate." The man claims he suffered 8 broken ribs and a punctured lung.

A man is suing Cocke County for excessive force after he said a correctional officer picked him up and body slammed him into the floor while he was handcuffed, causing serious injuries as he was being processed into the jail. Kelton Townsend, a former corrections officer who can be seen on video slamming a handcuffed man down to the floor is now charged.

Body camera footage obtained by 10News shows the incident as it happened in February 2019. The footage is from the perspective of the arresting officer after he brought the plaintiff, Jerry Miller, into the jail.

The lawsuit claims Miller suffered eight broken ribs and a punctured lung in the incident. He also claims he was denied adequate medical care until the next morning after he was released on his own recognizance and processed out of the jail.

Florida Cops Went to Absurd Lengths to Entrap Man Who Showed No Interest in Underage Sex

How do you catch a predator in Sarasota, Florida? You create one.

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) is going to "outrageous lengths" to make law-abiding lonely guys into sex offenders. That's according to Noah Pransky, a fearless journalist who has been covering Florida's addiction to entrapment for years.

In September, SCSO arrested 23 men for allegedly soliciting underage girls for sex. Pransky's most recent piece in Florida Politics chronicles the elaborate back and forth between one of those men and a police officer pretending to be a young female. Pransky writes:

In one example from a 2017 operation, SCSO spent two days trying to seduce a 20-year-old man who showed no interest in having sex with a child. Detectives, who posted an ad for an 18-year-old woman on Tinder, matched with the young man and proceeded to swap "getting-to-know-you" texts for more than an hour; only then did detectives tell the man he was chatting with a 14-year-old girl, not an 18-year-old.

Undercover detectives continued to try and talk about sex with the man the next day; he again rebuffed the attempts, but continued the small talk because he indicated he was bored. Detectives then sent unsolicited, flirty photos to the man; a tactic that violates best practices and ethical standards for this type of stings.

The terrible thing about this case is that the sheriff's office is not trying to save any actual kids. It is just trying to get an easy win.

Most parents who worry about predators online are picturing a creepy guy lurking on some kiddie site where he lures unsuspecting youngsters away to a sordid encounter at the Dairy Queen.

But the SCSO folks flip that scenario entirely. They log onto adult sites, claiming to be adult age. It's only once they establish some kind of bond with an adult who went online hoping to find a legal-age companion that they then confess that they are underage.

Fucking arsehole cops

They probably would be if they ended up in prison. I don't think other inmates would take kindly to cops who framed innocent people, especially for crimes relating to children. But as long as they don't go to prison, pay out of their pockets or suffer for their crimes this sort of thing will keep happening.
Those who knowingly falsely accuse someone of a crime (like those false rape accusations) should receive the full sentence the innocent party would have received if found guilty.
If it’s a cop that is trying to frame and entrap someone that sentence should be doubled or just make it life sentence without parole.

Another man shot inside his own home by cops. The man was begging for police to arrive to his house in response to burglars but as usual when seconds count, the cops are late and may attack the victims, not the criminals. The cops claim they mistook him for a burglar (inside his own home!). As a result this young man at just 26 years old is paralyzed from the neck down, unable to feed or bathe himself and in need of medical care for the rest of his life. Of course the cops investigated themselves and determined that the cop who paralyzed this poor man "acted appropriately in response to an apparent deadly threat".

The Sheriff's Office will only pay $750,000 for this which amounts to nothing for destroying an innocent young man's life and of course none of this will come from the pockets of the cops who shot him or their union's coffers.

Duluth police shock wrong man with stun gun outside Walmart

Duluth Police officers used a taser to take down a shoplifting suspect outside a Walmart, but moments later, they discovered they shocked the wrong man.

The man, identified as Chiedu Amahagwu, was leaving the store on Pleasant Hill Road on September 22, but when Duluth Police asked him to stop, they said he got into a fight with the officer.

Officers said the Walmart Loss Prevention team identified Amahagwu as one of two people involved in stealing a ring from the jewelry section of the store.

“We take their word for it until we figure out, and this time ultimately it wasn’t the suspect,” said Duluth Police Officer Ted Sadowski.

“To fight the officer just because you believe you're right, and in this circumstance he was, but that doesn't give you the right to fight the officer,” said Sadowski.

Amahagwu faces two counts of obstruction of a law enforcement officer.

Bryant Heyward, who was left paralyzed by by a police shooting in 2015 after calling 911 to report a home invasion, settled his lawsuit against the sheriff's office for $750,000 -- a far cry from the $25 million he'd originally asked for, his attorney revealed Sunday.

Disgusting child abusers.. This "highly trained professional" considered an 11 year old special needs girl a "threat"...

Of course he is allowed to quietly resign instead of being fired.

Officer resigns amid accusations of excessive force on 11-year-old student

A veteran Farmington police officer is out of a job following accusations he used excessive force on a middle school student with special needs. Lapel video from the Aug. 27 incident shows Officer Zachary Christensen roughing up an 11-year-old girl at Mesa View Middle School.

The incident in question involved a 6th grade student who was in trouble for behavioral issues. The day of the incident, school administrators can be seen on the lapel video following the girl around campus as she waits for her mom to pick her up from school.

“This morning, she went straight to the cafeteria. She took more milks that she was supposed to. She threw a milk on the ground,” said Officer Christensen in the lapel camera footage obtained by the KOB 4 Investigates team.

According to Officer Christensen’s field report, the child assaulted two school employees that morning. The officer claims one assault occurred when the girl walked past the assistant principal and brushes past him and the second occurred when the girl attempted to open the door and walked past the principal. Ultimately, the charges against the girl did not stick.

Following the perceived offenses, Officer Christensen loses his patience, grabs the girls backpack and throws her to the ground. The struggle lasts for roughly six minutes.

            Officer: Put your arms behind your back!
            Student: Ow! You're hurting my arm! Get off of me!
            Officer: Turn over! Turn over! Do not resist. Do not resist!
            Officer: Stop resisting!
            Student: Ow! You're hurting me!
            Administrator: (redacted) stop resisting...
            Officer: Put your arms behind your back!
            Student: Okay, let me stand up!
            School Administrator: Zach, let's let her stand up.

At one point, a school administrator repeatedly tells the officer to allow the girl to get up:

“Officer Christensen – she is not a threat to yourself or others at this moment,” said the school employee to which the officer replied: “No, she is!”

Probably not the first time they "misused" surveillance data... But don't expect any punishment or prison sentences.

FBI misused surveillance data, spied on its own, FISA ruling finds

In an October 2018 ruling unsealed and posted on October 8, 2019 by the Office of the Director of Intelligence, the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) found that the employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation had inappropriately used data collected under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The FBI was found to have misused surveillance data to look into American residents, including other FBI employees and their family members, making large-scale queries that did not distinguish between US persons and foreign intelligence targets.

The revelation drew immediate outcry from privacy advocates and renewed calls for the termination of FISA and USA FREEDOM Act that authorized bulk intelligence collection. President Donald Trump signed a bill extending Section 702 collection authorizations for six years in 2018; the Office of the Director of National Intelligence announced earlier this year that the administration would seek the extension of authority for collection of call data granted under the USA FREEDOM Act.


The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ruling found that the FBI's "querying procedures" for intelligence data did not properly record when the database of intelligence data was searched for information about US persons. "The querying procedures did not require FBI personnel to document the basis for finding that each United States-person query term satisfied the relevant standard—i.e., that queries be reasonably designed to return foreign-inteligence information or evidence of crime," the FISC opinion stated. "Without such documentation and in view of reported instances of non-compliance with that standard, the procedures seemed unreasonable under FISA's definition of 'minimization procedures' and possibly the Fourth Amendment."

Among those instances of "non-compliance" were:

• Between March 24 and 27, 2017, the FBI ran queries against intelligence data "using identifiers for over 70,000 communications facilities 'associated with' persons with access to FBI facilities and systems," the court noted, "notwithstanding advice from the FBI Office of General Counsel (OGC) that they should not be conducted without the approval of the OGC and the National Security Division of the Department of Justice."
• On December 1, 2017, a redacted FBI division "conducted over 6,800 queries using the Social Security Numbers of individuals" against raw, unredacted FISA data. A week later, the same unit conducted 1,600 queries using another set of identifiers for US persons. The person who conducted the queries "advised he did not intend to run them against raw FISA information, but nonetheless reviewed raw FISA information returned by them."
• In February of 2018, the FBI searched raw FISA data for information, with about 30 queries regarding "potential [redacted] sources," and conducted about 45 other queries on people "under consideration as potential sources of information."
• In an undated event, reported to the Department of Justice's National Security Division in April of 2018, the FBI ran queries against raw FISA metadata using identifiers for "approximately 57,000 individuals" where it was not clear that the information would return foreign intelligence information.
• Queries against individual US persons were run against the FISA data on a number of occasions, including people about to be served a FISA order—and "a small number of cases in which FBI personnel apparently conducted queries for improper personal reasons—for example, a contract linguist who ran queries on himself, other FBI employees, and relatives."

A declassified court ruling shows how the FBI abused NSA mass surveillance data

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court found that the FBI may have violated the rights of potentially millions of Americans — including its own agents and informants — by improperly searching through information obtained by the National Security Agency’s mass surveillance program.

U.S. District Court Judge James E. Boasberg, who serves in the District of Columbia and the FISA court, made his sweeping and condemnatory assessment in October 2018 in a 138-page ruling, which was declassified by the U.S. government this week.

To longtime critics of the government’s mass surveillance program, the FBI’s abuses are confirmation that federal law enforcement agents are combing through the communications of Americans without warrants, in violation of Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.

“These opinions reveal devastating problems with the FBI’s backdoor searches, which often resembled fishing expeditions through Americans’ personal emails and online messages,” said Patrick Toomey, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Security Project. “But the court did not go nearly far enough to fix those abuses. The Constitution requires FBI agents to get a warrant before they go combing through our sensitive communications.”

The ruling concerns the FBI’s ability to access communications obtained through the NSA’s mass surveillance program, the existence of which was revealed in documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden. Critics of Snowden’s decision to leak classified NSA documents noted at the time that safeguards existed to prevent Americans’ communications from being searched improperly. The declassified FISA court ruling, however, shows that few safeguards existed at all.
