[existential guilt = Guilt by Your Mere Existence] After being searched for no apparent reason, Video Shows Latino Man Beaten by a Gang of NYPD Cops & Dragged to Cop Car

In the context of this White domination system there is no innocent Black or Latino male, just non-white male criminals who have not yet been detected, apprehended or convicted. From [HERE] Meet Santiago Hernandez, 23. He lives in the Bronx. On a Monday evening last month, he was standing in front of an apartment building at around 6 p.m. when two NYPD police officers appeared and demanded permission to frisk him. He complied. They found no contraband. Yet he soon found himself handcuffed and then pushed to the ground, where he was pummeled by six police officers. "They were taking turns like a gang,"

According to Hernandez, the police officers who initially searched him said they were responding to a noise complaint. "Although he was later charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, the Bronx DA declined to prosecute the case," the ABC news team reported. "And Hernandez was left with bruises from head to toe."

Hernandez was ostensibly searched in response to a noise complaint made during rush hour on a New York City street, so one wonders if it was the NYPD fabricating a reason [yes, racism] to frisk a young brown male, given its longtime Stop and Frisk policy.

When the search came up empty, he says he asked the officers why he had been searched. And with that, he says, one of the officers grabbed his arm and slapped on handcuffs.  "I'm like, 'Miss what you doing? You are hurting my arm,'" Hernandez said. The surveillance video is silent, but a cell phone video captured part of it. 

Hernandez was unarmed. The police officers knew that, having already searched him. A half-dozen armed cops nevertheless beat up this man who posed no apparent threat to their safety, all in order to successfully arrest him for the crime of... what? 

"She just was telling me to put my hands behind my back, but 'I'm like trying to understand what are you are arresting me for. Can you please tell me?'" Hernandez said. Moments later, half-a-dozen officers arrived and appeared to pile-on. Hernandez said he was punched, kicked, beaten with nightsticks, and blasted with pepper spray. 

"They was taking turns on me. One kicks me, he steps back. Another one comes to punch me and he steps back. And another one comes and grabs my arm and hits me like 10 times with the baton. Another one comes and pepper sprayed me, they were taking turns like a gang," Hernandez said. [MORE]

In any case, Hernandez had no weapons or drugs. He would never be charged with any crime related to what he was doing before police arrived. The search was unrelated to the stop and NYPD did not say they had a reasonable belief that he was armed. But if he truly consented to it, the search is valid. The cops seemed to create the disorder that led to his alleged lawbreaking—when he asked why he'd been searched, a cop slapped handcuffs on one of his wrist, so he asked why he was being arrested rather than immediately placing his other hand behind his back. Police initiated force and later charged him with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

But why was he cuffed to begin with? [white supremacy/racism is carried by violence and/or deception.] 

[Act like you know. In a racist system, like this one, to the extent that you might be dealing with a racist cop or a Black Android cop (programmed in service of white domination) comply with their orders. Legal truths about your rights will be of no use to you in the present reality of a one on one street encounter with a racist cop. Your goal is to avoid death, injury and/or greater confinement in that moment. Deal with the reality of this unjust system & live to fight another day. Here, young Santiago could have complied with the cop's unConstitutional request to (detain) put his hands behind his back but he chose not to. White supremacy is carried out through violence and/or deception.]

Would a Black Cop be Released if he was Accused of Sexually Assaulting 7 White Women? White OKC Overseer (officer) Free after Posting $500,000 Bond

Watch Your Front OKC: Racist Suspect Cop Accused of Sexually Assaulting 7 Black Women and Killing a Black Man Released Pre-trial

From [HERE] Racist Suspect Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Ken Holtzclaw was released from jail Friday as he faces charges for allegedly sexually assaulting 7 different African American women while he was on duty. Among the claims against him are forcible rape, burglary, and felonious stalking.  He is also a defendant in a wrongful death suit filed earlier this year on behalf of Black man, Clifton Armstrong. The suit claims that Hotzclaw killed Armstrong during a violent arrest in which he hogtied Armstrong with seat belts and handcuffs. [MORE]

The [white] judge who initially set his bond at $5 million said he researched his target victims and tracked them down before assaulting them, according to Michigan Live. The 27-year-old former college football player’s bond was later reduced and he paid $500,000 to be released from jail and placed on home arrest. Holtzclaw was removed from duty in June after a women reported a sexual assault during a traffic stop. Many other women subsequently came forward.

Holtzclaw’s sister had initiated a campaign on GoFundMe To raise money for his legal defense. The site removed the campaign citing complaints, even though it would not heed calls to take down the lucrative fundraising campaign for Darren Wilson, the white cop who shot Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teenager. But in the first 72 hours, the campaign had raised nearly $7,000. And the campaign continued to solicit donations to fund Holtzclaw’s bail through its Facebook page. They are also selling t-shirts through that page with the messages “FREE THE CLAW” and “JUSTICE4DANIELHOLTZCLAW.”

[bodycam would not have saved him] “If we were white, I truly believe he would not have approached my kids that way”: White Oakland Cop Pulls Gun on Black Firefighter and his kids

From [HERE] Video has surfaced of a tense situation between a white Oakland police officer and a black off-duty firefighter outside the fire station where he worked. Meanwhile, police said the officer was “within policy” during the incident.

The video, from the officer’s chest camera, is dark. But it shows what happened during an Oakland firefighter’s encounter with the officer. The video is dark, but the unnamed officer can be heard telling off-duty firefighter Keith Jones and his sons, aged nine and twelve, to stop and put their hands up. The officer sounds nervous. 

“I’m an Oakland firefighter. That’s my truck right there,” firefighter Keith Jones told the officer.

In an interview last week with KPIX 5, Jones said he and his 9-year-old and 12-year-old sons were passing by Station 29 when he noticed a door to the station was ajar. Before he could close it, Jones and his sons were approached by a police officer.

“I’m pretty much thinking he was going to shoot me,” Jones said last week.

Jones calmly explains that he is a firefighter, and that they entered after he noticed a door was left open. As they talk, one of his sons can be heard crying.

“I’m pretty much thinking, he’s gonna shoot me,” Jones told CBS.

NYPD Ignoring Court Ruling by creating its own guidelines and procedures for how body cameras and the footage recorded on them would be used and stored

From [HERE] The civil rights group whose lawsuit forced New York City police to wear body cameras while making street stops complained Thursday that the city has adopted a "nontransparent, go-it-alone approach" to implementing the plan.     

Darius Charney, an attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights, represented plaintiffs challenging racial disparities in the NYPD's stop-and-frisk program. His clients won a sweeping ruling last year that put the police under the supervision of a court-appointed monitor and forced them to leave a paper trial and video footage of each stop.     

Charney said in a statement Thursday that the city is violating the spirit of how the reforms were supposed to be implemented.     

"The pilot project ordered by the court envisioned a collaborative process in which the city, plaintiffs and court monitor work together to develop the guidelines and procedures for how the cameras and the footage recorded on them would be used and stored," Charney said. "But it now appears that the city has made all of these important decisions implicating police officer and civilian safety and privacy entirely on its own, which is troubling for those of us who care about building trust and respect between the NYPD and the communities they police."     

When the ruling came down in August 2013, then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg called it "a very dangerous decision by a judge who doesn't understand how policing works."

New Data Shows that Black People Suffer Over five times as many nonfatal injuries per capita from Cops as White People

From [HERE] Disturbing video evidence [below] surfaced in July that shows a California Highway Patrol officer aggressively and repeatedly striking the sides of 51-year-old Marlene Pinnock’s head. The officer reported that Pinnock, a homeless African American woman who had to be hospitalized after the incident, became “physically combative” after attempting to walk into rush-hour traffic, despite a civil rights lawsuit against the officer that claims otherwise.

While the [above] incident involving Pinnock is alarming, it is not unique. Every year, tens of thousands of people are injured by law enforcement in events that rarely stir the same viral outrage. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regularly collect data about these incidents, which are classified as nonfatal injuries by law enforcement, from hospital emergency department records.

The data reveal not only a racial disparity in the number of nonfatal injuries caused by law enforcement but also an upward trend in their frequency over the last decade. And in the wake of Michael Brown's killing by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo. last month, a national conversation has begun in force about police brutality disproportionately affecting non-whites throughout the country. This data can contribute directly to that conversation and help people who are seeking solutions to the problem.

Using the available data, a comparison of estimates obtained from the CDC’s Web-Based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS) to national census population counts shows that black people suffered over five times as many nonfatal injuries per capita from law enforcement as white people did cumulatively over the years 2001-2012.

white supremacy = racism. white supremacy is carried out through violence and/or deception. [MORE]

And while the rates of nonfatal injuries to women when compared to men are generally significantly lower, the racial trends hold even within this subset. Using the same injury estimate to population count methodology yields nearly identical comparisons between black women and white women, where black women receive five times the rate of nonfatal injuries caused by law enforcement when compared to white women.

It is important to note that approximately 17 percent of the injury data collected by the CDC has no race or ethnicity assigned to the victims. However, even in the case that all unassigned victims of legal intervention injuries were white, the rate of nonfatal injuries to black people by law enforcement would still be over three times higher than that of white people. [MORE]

By and large, white people treat each other humanely. But in their relations with non-white people, white people function as psychopaths. 'Psychopaths simply ignore the concept of right and wrong. By ignoring this trait in White people (the lack of ethical and moral development) Blacks have made and are still making a tragic mistake in basing the worldwide Black liberation movement on moral suasion. It is pathological for Blacks to keep attempting to use moral suasion on a people who have no morality where race is the variable.' [MORE]

Victim of White Supremacy Insists "I Have Rights, I Have Rights!": Forgets [Reality] that he is not in a Racial Utopia - Arrested by NC Cops for Distributing Flyers - on Video

[MORE] He says, You're Messing with the Wrong Man! Is this victim serious about his liberation? Does he really think he can have an arms length discussion or debate with cops - like they don't have the authority to arrest him? Why does he expect humane treatment from white cops? Does he know he is not a white man? Who is this powerless victim crying out for help to? The same white people who are oppressing him? Does he believe the other powerless Blacks standing around can save him? Is he really trying to [survive] avoid death, injury or greater confinement here and [seek justice] live to fight another day? Or just playing pretend "I'm not in a white supremacy system" with racist suspect cops? 

Three White, So-Called "Student Resource Officers" Pounce on 4-foot-10, 100 pound Latino teen to take away her cell phone at Houston HS

From [HERE] A high school student in Houston, Texas, is accusing resource officers of using excessive force to detain her after she refused to give up her cell phone to a school administrator Tuesday.

Ixel Perez, a 15-year-old girl, says three officers at Sam Houston Math, Science and Technology Center tackled and handcuffed her in order to take the phone away. One officer used his knee to press down on her head as she screamed in pain, she said. An onlooking student recorded video of the incident, which was later posted on Instagram and shared widely on other social networks.

Sheleah Reed, a spokesperson for the Houston Independent School District, told BuzzFeed administrators and the school district’s police department are investigating the incident “to find out exactly what led to the student’s detainment.” She said student safety was a top priority for all schools in the district, but did not provide any further details pending the investigation.

Some of the school’s students and parents organized a rally Wednesday to denounce the officers’ actions and posted pictures on social media using the hashtag #Freesamhouston.

At the rally, Perez told local reporters her reading teacher caught her checking her phone, against school policy, and kicked her out of class. Perez said she refused to give up her phone to the school’s assistant principal because her stepfather had texted to say he couldn’t locate her mother, who has kidney problems and received dialysis.

Same White OK City Cop Accused of Sexually Assaulting Black Women also Sued for Hogtying Black Man, Forcing him into squad car & Killing him

From [HERE] Racist Suspect Daniel Holtzclaw, the 27-year-old Oklahoma City police officer charged with sexually assaulting eight black women, is also a defendant in a wrongful death suit filed earlier this year.

According to court documents, on the evening of May 1, 2013, Clifton Armstrong, a 39-year-old black man who suffered from paranoia and schizophrenia, called 911 for medical assistance. Holtzclaw, along with three fellow officers, arrived to his home. When given the option, Armstrong declined to enter a squad car in order to be taken to the hospital because he only wanted to travel in his grandmother's vehicle. The officers then proceeded to hogtie Armstrong into submission using belts. He was declared dead shortly afterward, as alleged in a lawsuit filed by Armstrong's mother, Velencia Maiden:

Upon information and belief, in attempting to subdue Mr Armstrong, the officers used force to restrain and subdue him, by placing him in handcuffs, and using belts to restrain his leg movement, which is famously referred to as the "maximum restraint hobble system" with malicious intent and without justification, pursuant to Oklahoma City Police Department's policy, practice or custom, I reckless disregard for the welfare of Clifton Armstrong.

As a result of this altercation, Mr Armstrong collapsed, and paramedics where summoned who transported Mr Armstrong to the emergency room at the Baptist Hospital where Armstrong was pronounced dead.

Court documents indicate that the police department opened an internal investigation into the incident and exonerated all four officers involved: Jeffery Dutton, Gregory Franklin, Mohammed Tabaia and Daniel Holtzclaw. 

Oklahoma's medical examiner ruled Armstrong's death an accident, citing "excited delirium syndrome." Many medical practitioners don't recognize excited delirium syndrome as a legitimate medical condition--and civil rights groups point to the fact it is often used to justify excessive force. Armstrong was also under the influence of methamphetamines at the time of his death. The medical examiner's report did add that his physical altercation with the police was an aggravating factor that caused his death.

Judge Delays Release of Report on Fatal Shooting of Unarmed Black College Student by White Pasadena Cops - Shot then handcuffed

From [HERE] and [HERE] The release of a report on how Pasadena police investigated the 2012 fatal shooting of an unarmed Black teen by two white cops has been delayed after a white judge granted the officers’ association a temporary restraining order. The association, the city and any interested parties have until Sept. 23 to file arguments for or against releasing the independent report, according to Pasadena city officials.

The Pasadena Police Officers Association and white Officers Matthew Griffin and Jeffrey Newlen sued the city and its top officials and Superior Court Judge James Chalfant agreed to seal the report.

The police officers’ association claimed that the report revealed personnel records on the two officers who shot Kendrec McDade, 19, in March 2012.

"This is the perfect example of a document that should be sealed," Chalfant said, according to the Pasadena Star News. "I intend to grant the order to seal." The Star News and the Pasadena Press Weekly requested a copy of the report, by the Office of Independent Review Group, headed by Michael Gennaco.

Officers Mathew Griffin and Jeff Newlen, who were responding to a 911 call for a laptop stolen at gunpoint, chased McDade into a dark street in Northwest Pasadena and shot him dead allegedly when his hand was at his waistband, believing he was armed, police said. Investigators later discovered he was not armed and the 911 caller had lied about seeing weapons in order to get a quicker police response. McDade only had a cell phone in his pocket.

McDade also does not fit the profile of the kind of person who would normally commit armed robbery. He has no gang ties or prior arrests, was a star football player in high school, and was a student at Citrus College at the time of his death. [MORE] 

McDade was shot at point-blank range by one Pasadena police officer and then after being struck by a total of seven bullets he was handcuffed as he layed in the street dying, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office autopsy report. The federal lawsuit also alleges McDade was left on the street for a prolonged period of time without receiving first aid.

In hundreds of police departments across the country, the percentage of whites on the force is more than 30 percentage points higher than in the communities they serve

From [HERE] In hundreds of police departments across the country, the percentage of whites on the force is more than 30 percentage points higher than in the communities they serve, according to an analysis of a government survey of police departments. Minorities make up a quarter of police forces, according to the 2007 survey, the most recent comprehensive data available. Experts say that diversity in the police force increases a department’s credibility with its community. “Even if police officers of whatever race enforce the law in relatively the same way, there is a huge image problem with a department that is so out of sync with the racial composition of the local population,” said Ronald Weitzer, a sociologist at George Washington University. Listed below are local police departments from 15 metropolitan areas, sorted so that departments with the largest percentage-point differences of white officers to white residents are at the top.
