Police Shootings / Possible Abuse Threads [merged] (3 Viewers)

A dog was shot and killed in front of his family after jumping up at a police officer.

Churros, a golden retriever, was out for a walk with his owner Iasmin Lima, 32, her sons, nine and 12, and her one-year daughter on 9 September, Jam Press reports.

The three-year-old dog was not leashed as the family down Praia do Morro in Guarapari, Brazil.

He barked and jumped on the nearby officer who allegedly pulled out a gun and proclaimed, “I’m going to kill your dog.”

“Everyone begged, but the children were the ones who asked the most, for God’s sake, for him not to do anything, not to shoot,” said Ms Lima.

The suspect, a 52-year-old Military Police officer, from Minas Gerais, shot Churros three times.

He claims the golden retriever attacked him and he asked the owners to hold the dog. When they didn’t, he says he was attacked again before taking out his pistol and shooting the dog once.

He allegedly fled the scene following the incident, offering no assistance to the family. Churros was rushed to the local vet but his injuries were too severe, and he died shortly afterwards.

The family called the Military Police who found the officer and escorted him to the 5th Regional Police Station in Praia do Morro. He was charged with mistreating animals and taken to the Guarapari Provisional Detention Center…….

I sometimes wish there was a hell, so scum like this could get a special place in it.
 
On 24 August 2019, Elijah McClainwas walking home from a convenience store, listening to music and wearing a ski mask, in Aurora, Colorado when a 911 caller reported him as “looking sketchy” — a call that would lead to the death of the 23-year-old and a social uprising against how race plays a role in policing.

Police spotted McClain — who was not armed and had not committed any crime — and put him in a neck hold. Paramedics then arrived at the scene and injected the young man with ketamine.

He died three days later.

Now, just over four years after the incident, jury selection began on Friday for the trial of two Aurora police officers — Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt — who had interacted with McClain.

The trials of a third officer and the two paramedics are also expected to happen later this year……..



 
An Alabama school band director was tasered by police officers after he refused to stop his band’s performance, in what his lawyer has called an “alarming abuse of power”.

The incident unfolded following a football game between Minor High School and PD Jackson-Olin High School in Birmingham, Alabama, on Thursday.

Birmingham Police said that officers noticed both schools’ bands still playing after the game finished and asked both groups to stop playing music “so students and attendees would leave the stadium”.

While the home team’s band complied with the request, Minor High School band director Johnny Mims did not and “instructed his band to continue performing,” police said.

A physical altercation is said to have ensued, with officers tasering and then arresting Mr Mims.

“BPD officers attempted to take the band director into custody for Disorderly Conduct when a physical altercation ensued between the band director, Birmingham City Schools System personnel, and BPD officers,” said the statement.

Bodycam footage released by police shows Mr Mims telling officers “get out of my face” after they asked him to stop performing.

“We’re fixing to go. This is our last song,” Mr Mims then tells the officers.

An officer is then heard telling Mr Mims “you will go to jail,” to which he responds with a thumbs up. “That’s cool,” he says.

The band then stops playing its song and Mr Mims steps off the stage before a struggle ensues between him and the officers as they appear to try to handcuff him and he yells “get off of me”.

“He hit the officer. He gotta go to jail,” one officer is heard saying. “He swing on the officer.”

Mr Mims is then heard saying he “did not swing on the officer” seconds before he is tasered by police and brought to the ground.............

Classic case of "cop mad" because he can't handle any sort of back talk. When cops tend to escalate things, bad things inevitably happen.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama high school band director said Wednesday that he was just “doing my job” when police officers arrested him and shocked him with a stun gun after he refused to immediately stop the band as it played in the bleachers following a football game.

Johnny Mims, the band director at Minor High School, told The Associated Press he was confused when officers pulled him from the director’s podium to arrest him following last Thursday’s game between Minor and Jackson-Olin high schools.

“I was in shock. Just totally confused because I was pretty much doing my job, and I hadn’t done anything wrong. I definitely did not deserve to be Tased,” Mims said by phone. Mims said police shocked him with the stun gun three times.

Police body camera footage released Monday shows Mims being arrested and repeatedly shocked in a chaotic scene that included students screaming. Police charged him with disorderly conduct, harassment and resisting arrest.

In the body camera footage, officers are seen approaching Mims as the band plays in the stands. They ask him several times to stop the performance, saying it is time for everyone to leave the stadium since the game was over, and appear incredulous that Mims continues directing the band for another two minutes or so.

As the music continues, an officer tells Mims he will go to jail and another says she will contact the school. Mims flashes two thumbs up and says, “That’s cool.”……

This is simply the opposite of what police is supposed to be doing. Those guys have no business being cops.
 

Ohio police officer recorded telling father his 11-year-old could face porn charges in doorbell cam video​

What the hell is wrong with these 2 officers?
I just wanted you guys to come over and talk to her. I just want her to realize what this was, I mean, the reality there's not much you guys can probably do about it, is there," asked Blocka.
The female police officer responded, "I mean, she can probably be charged with child porn."
Blocka responded, "who? she can?" "Mhmm," the female officer responded.
Blocka told the officers his daughter is 11 years old, but was told by the female officer "it didn't matter, she's still making porn."
When Blocka responded, "no she's not. She's being manipulated by a grown [expletive] adult on the Internet," he returned inside his home.
The same officer asked, "is she taking pictures of herself?"
He told the two officers "thank you for coming, are you serious? Have a nice evening."


 
Across from an industrial hose and gasket supplier’s office, in a mostly empty and fenced-off lot behind a precinct house belonging to the police department of Louisiana’s capital city, there sits a white storage shed without any markings explaining its purpose.

That single-story warehouse – within a couple of blocks of a daycare center, an eatery specializing in chicken wings and a gasoline station frequented by unwary residents – is now the focus of local and federal authorities examining alarming claims that officers with the Baton Rouge police department (BRPD) took detained people there and brutalized them.

Allegations portraying the warehouse once used by the Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination, or Brave, anti-street crime unit as a sort of black siteor torture chamber are contained in two federal court lawsuits filed relatively recently.

One of the lawsuits maintains that a woman was illegally forced to disrobe and endure a humiliating search of her body. Another contends a man was so badly beaten by officers who took him to their so-called “Brave Cave” that one of his ribs was broken.

The plaintiffs accuse police of violating their civil rights and have demanded damages, prompting not only public outcry against the local law enforcement establishment – but also having an impact, at least at this early stage of the scandal.

After the first of the two lawsuits, the Brave unit primarily addressing drug-related complaints was disbanded, and its warehouse was shuttered. One of the officers named in both lawsuits – Troy Lawrence Jr, the son of the BRPD’s deputy chief – has resigned, and he has also been arrested on a count of battery in connection with a third case that got a closer look because of the Brave Cave allegations.

Meanwhile, in a statement provided to the Guardian, a police spokesperson said the department’s chief, Murphy Paul, had asked the FBI to assist his agency as it conducted “administrative and criminal investigations” into the circumstances surrounding the Brave Cave. “The Baton Rouge police department is committed to addressing the troubling accusations,” Paul said…….

A lawsuit filed Monday by Baton Rouge grandmother Ternell Brown provides chilling details about one such search. In filings at Baton Rouge’s federal courthouse, Brown recounts how she was out driving on 10 June when two officers, Lawrence Jr and Matthew Wallace, noticed prescription medications in her car during a traffic stop.

Brown asserts that she had offered to show the cops that she had a valid prescription, but they didn’t want to hear it. They took her to the Brave Cave, ordered her to fully undress, and made her spread her vagina to officers who were men, the lawsuit alleges.

Police ultimately released Brown without having booked her with a crime, according to Thompson, as Baton Rouge’s daily newspaper, the Advocate, has previously reported.……

 
A married Pennsylvania State Trooper is facing a slew of charges after he allegedly fabricated claims that his ex-girlfriend was suicidal to have her involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital.

Ronald Keith Davis, 37, is accused of abusing his power to forcibly detain his former partner and have her locked up after their relationship broke up, according to the Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office.

Disturbing footage released by authorities shows Mr Davis use a “wrestling-style” hold to arrest his former partner on 21 August as she appears to be struggling to breathe.


According to a charging document, Mr Davis had earlier told her: “I know you’re not crazy, I’ll paint you as crazy”.

Mr Davis had been in a four-month extramarital affair with the woman before the relationship fell apart, authorities say.

He then petitioned to have the woman involuntarily committed, and used his police email account to contact Dauphin County officials and submit texts claiming she had threatened to take her own life…..




 
ATLANTA (AP) — Randal Quran Reid was driving to his mother’s home the day after Thanksgiving last year when police pulled him over and arrested him on the side of a busy Georgia interstate.

He was wanted for crimes in Louisiana, they told him, before taking him to jail. Reid, who prefers to be identified as Quran, would spend the next several days locked up, trying to figure out how he could be a suspect in a state he says he had never visited.

A lawsuit filed this month blames the misuse of facial recognition technology by a sheriff’s detective in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, for his ordeal.

“I was confused and I was angry because I didn’t know what was going on,” Quran told The Associated Press. “They couldn’t give me any information outside of, ‘You’ve got to wait for Louisiana to come take you,’ and there was no timeline on that.”

Quran, 29, is among at least five Black plaintiffs who have filed lawsuits against law enforcement in recent years, saying they were misidentified by facial recognition technology and then wrongly arrested. Three of those lawsuits, including one by a woman who was eight months pregnant and accused of a carjacking, are against Detroit police.

The technology allows law enforcement agencies to feed images from video surveillance into software that can search government databases or social media for a possible match.

Critics say it results in a higher rate of misidentification of people of color than of white people. Supporters say it has been vital in catching drug dealers, solving killings and missing persons cases and identifying and rescuing human trafficking victims. They also contend the vast majority of images that are scoured are criminal mugshots, not driver’s license photos or random pictures of individuals.


Still, some states and cities have limited its use…….
