White Prosecutors Continue to Do Nothing in Pasadena Police Fatal Shooting of Unarmed Black College Student: Handcuffed after being Shot 7 Times
Thursday, October 25, 2012 at 01:12AM 
From [HERE] The L.A. County district attorney's office will not charge a man with involuntary manslaughter after he falsely claimed he was robbed at gunpoint, setting off a chain of events that ended with an officer fatally shooting a Black college student. Kendrec McDade, 19 year old was shot and killed by officers Mathew Griffin and Jeffrey Newlen on March 24. The Pasadena-branch of the NAACP President has criticized the Police Department's tactics and the tepid reaction by city leaders to the tragedy.
The unarmed black man was killed on a narrow street in the city's northeast sectionas he was being chased by an officer and his path blocked by a police car.
McDade's family has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the city and the police officers. The Police Department has said McDade was holding his waistband at the time of the shooting, and the officers involved say they believe he was going for a weapon. McDade was shot at point-blank range by one Pasadena police officer and handcuffed after being struck by a total of seven bullets, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office autopsy report.
Prosecutors found that Oscar Carrillo lied when he said he was robbed at gunpoint by McDade, but the lie just "was one in a series of acts ... that culminated in the fatal shooting," the prosecutor's report said. Deputy Dist. Atty. Scott Goodwin said McDade's decisions to run from police and eventually dash toward a police vehicle blocking his path were significant intervening factors and not a "foreseeable consequence of Carillo's 911 call."
Moments before McDade was fatally shot, Carrillo had called 911, alleging that two men had stolen his laptop computer on Orange Grove Boulevard and that he was robbed at gunpoint. Obvious to all except white prosecutors that the false information led police to beleive that McDade was armed and dangerous. McDade was eventually shot as he ran toward the police vehicle, clutching the right side of his waistband, Goodwin wrote in a report.
Goodwin wrote that when confronted with a surveillance video of the theft, Carrillo admitted that the men never confronted him, that the computer was stolen from his car and that he never saw a gun.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Pasadena police arrested Carrillo, saying that his statements had led to the fatal shooting.
"Mr. Carrillo emphatically indicated a gun was involved ... that is very important. It sets the platform for the mind-set of the responding officers," Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez told reporters.
But Goodwin found that a charge of manslaughter was not supported by the evidence. The district attorney's office has referred the case to Pasadena city prosecutors for a criminal charge of misdemeanor filing of a false police report.
Expert Contradicts Police Story
In June a world renowned forensic pathologist said facts presented by the autopsy contradicted the official account of his slaying.
Dr. Cyril Wecht reviewed a report on the death of Kendrec McDade generated by a medical examiner with the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner. Wecht said there were multiple inconsistencies between the autopsy and an account of the shooting given by Pasadena police officers.
Among the contradictions is a statement by Police Department officials that McDade was at close range as he approached a patrol car and appeared to reach for a weapon in his waist band. "There was no soot from the burning powder, or stippling, that produced superficial burns on the skin," Wecht said. "The rule of thumb for handguns, if they are less than 24 inches there needs to be some stippling."
A noted expert witness who has consulted on and testified in cases ranging from the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. to the Manson Family killings and the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey, Wecht also questioned Pasadena's claim that McDade became combative after being shot and it was necessary to handcuff the fatally wounded teenager.
"I find it difficult to find someone who has been shot seven times - with gunshot wounds to major arteries - can be considered combative," Wecht said.
After being shot by police he was handcuffed. Given the injuries sustained by McDade, Wecht found his treatment by the Pasadena police officers at the scene lacking in "sensitivity and common sense."
McDade family Attorney Caree Harper has consistently called into question the use of handcuffs on the Citrus College student as he lay dying in the street.
"Not only am I concerned about the handcuffing of my client, but handcuffing him was outrageous," Harper said.

Hi People -
God bless us everyone.
I mean that. Everyone.
We are in a state of Crisis in America that is being played out in the Cities by the Corrupt individuals that run them. Pasadena Ca. is a model for things to come (charter City - own rules they don't have to follow) unless we all put aside our manufactured differences and address this national security issue looming over the entire country. 478 cities in California. Mayor of Pasadena Ca. Bill Bogaard is President of the Ca. League of Cities. Bill Bogaard and his City council Dept. Heads city attorney manager etc are killing black people on a wholesale level. This is why Bogaard repealed THE BROWN ACT. (transparency in government) This allows Bogaard via Michael Beck the Manager to hide all police calls from the public. The Mayor Bogaard just hired a huge IT corp to "work the internet" Translation = scrub the web clean of any and all things related to the Public crimes being perpetrated against black people.... right now... in the open. Dr. Eric Walsh is a black man. Dr Eric Walsh is a preacher in what many call a dooms day cult. Dr. Walsh was appointed By Bogaard and the city Council. Bogaard was not elected ever and no one runs against him any more. This crime group was Chastised for racial prejudice via many members of the group like Jon Pollard head of code compliance - look back a few years. This group operates like the KKK. They put Eric Walsh as head of health because he has no problem changing records, hiding records and rubber stamping things that are killing the black community. How many black people in Pasadena / Alta Dena have had their houses seized by pasadena Ca for being sick? The nursing homes in Alta Dena & Pasadena are run by Eric Walsh who doesn't live in pasadena. Neither does the Mayor - City council members the attorneys the Dept. Heads because they know the water is contaminated. Eric Walsh likens Parts of Pasadena like Mexico City - Eric then goes on to justify Pasadena's decision to use CEQA monies earmarked for cleaning up the polluted wells we bath in and installing RO filtration. The monies went to a soccer park. The Head of health in Pasadena said the #1 health problem is internet porn ( not the tumor and cancer victims in almost every home in the MEXICO CITY areas Eric says wont be improved (brown people).
The City seizes properties then transfers them to the straw owner crime group working for the City for $0.00 - to a few thousand dollars in secret meetings. All the Code requirements are waived including occupancy permits. The houses are made to be more toxic than they are, People move in - couple months go by then neighbors complain - police come and act as terrorizers going on their orders. The police are used to circumvent the legal system with out them even knowing it. Only some are (really bad) many are forced to follow orders under threat of job life liberty. Armenian people were thrilled to have Bogaard in office at first - now the community sees its elders and other being victimized as Pasadena takes over neighborhoods.
This is NOT a white black thing. This is not a Religion thing. This is not a money thing. This is a group of people whom are using bio weapon technology to shake people from their homes. When a renter is asked to leave by a manager they have rights. The Court Clerk makes sure the properties Pasadena secretly owns doesn't even get to court. Most all are "default Judgements" made in the absence of the parties then the standard $10,000.00 for damages is raised by the clerk and judge to $25,000.00. Then the records are destroyed. google Mickey Rooney Judge Candice Beason.
We all have to put our differences aside and say MAN instead of White Man Black Man Brown man Red Man Etc.
Then the Prejudice will become apparent. When so many rules exist for different groups then racial profiling follows. in Pasadena its the zip code that determines if you get served or victimized by pasadena. Its in the meetings.
Terms like reverse discrimination should be recognized as the wedge it is. discrimination is discrimination. period.
If the rules apply to everyone equally then we have a balanced place to live. Encourage everyone to post their horror stories about pasadena ca now. Their is a massive investigation going on right now regarding the on going public corruption. By the way - I'm a man of very light skin with basic european decent and 1/2 Polish Mongolian. I grew up being called a Pollock - Chink - retard Etc. I've been denied things jobs etc because of my looks. B.S.
Adolph Hitler put more than the Millions of Jews to Death. He killed the Blacks, Asians, Homosexuals, christians, artists and musicians,Poets and priests FIRST.
By deviling them and then getting them to fight amongst their own people until the largest group to be exterminated was last. Now I wonder If that whole Kill all the Jews thing would have happened if then Jews themselves Would have done a better job of protecting their neighbors rights and speaking out when rights violations were happening to others. I don't know. Fear is a huge motivator. I have lived in fear of execution from Pasadena since discovering a giant buried toxic waste under ground dump in my back yard.
Google 2194 Corson. their are many documents and movies including Public officials lying- Then admitting to crimes because the lethal dose of radiation - VOC's bio conmation was expected to kill me as it had the others- the same crimes they are pulling on my brothers and sisters they pulled on me. I have a realestate backround am an artest and an expert cleaner and remeidator.
I have opened the doors to come forward. Bogaard just hired a huge company to make sure your stories are erased like our people. Thank you for reading this.
You have my permission to repost - use - Clippings docs etc. If it will help you to over come prejudice and help you survive. I know how to reverse some of the poisons - google raw dog-
by the way the lawyer I hired was Azuka Uzoh - he completely sold me out and sold my personal info- ss# drivers lic # bank accounts all my telephone calls etc to city & burning me in court. If no occupancy permit exists NO ONE can collect a dime for lease or rent in pasadena. One can only be asked to vacate after 30 -60 -90 days with out owing rents as well as being able to get ALL rents back inc. deposit (some restrictions apply) but in strict pasadena Alta dena - you wont even get into court.
you if you are brave and firm only need say where is the occupancy permit? case dismissed. to see go to pasadena's web site then go to the interactive permit center find your address and copy everything you find and post it. Occupancy permits are listed. If none, and numerous violations yet you moved in, the title is held in LLC,ET AL, TRUST, Then most likely it's owned by the city. this group has drawn lines against our Planet and the Earth is pissed - they are killing our people everybody ( see cancer stats 4 your area - oops ERIC SAYS NO )
gotta go.
LOVE THE EARTH
LOVE EACH OTHER
LOVE IS THE TRUE POWER
See where the hate is coming from and convert it in your own heart.
Peace
