California Cops Allow Suspect to Escape while Harassing Videographer

By Carlos Miller

Police in California allowed a suspect to escape after they decided to harass a man for taking a picture of the arrest.

Naturally, the Glendale police officers ended up blaming the photographer for causing the escape, handcuffing and detaining him, accusing him of knowing the escaped suspect because they had made eye contact moments earlier.

But the fault lies completely with the cops, who allowed their arrogance, insecurities and complete disregard for the Constitution to let the suspect escape in a classic Keystone Cop moment quickly going viral on Live Leak.

Perhaps if officer Bolton (first name possibly Matt) didn?t feel the need to abandon his investigation to walk halfway down the block to blind the videographer with his flashlight, ironically accusing him of acting juvenile for taking a photo of the arrest ?(while never mentioning the alleged eye contact at the time), the suspect would have thought twice about making a run for it.

Now the question is, was the suspect they allowed to escape a violent felon, potentially putting the community at risk, or just another hapless drunk unexpectedly finding himself at a DUI checkpoint?

Glendale police have made no mention of the escape on its Facebook page?as we can imagine this is an incident they will like to forget. But that is unlikely to happen.

This is how patrickb121793 described it on Live Leak:

Video 1 (posted above)

Glendale Police are at it again. At about 1030 at night i was riding my bike and rode past a dui and license checkpoint. I decide to stop and take a photo of the checkpoint. Not wanting to go through the checkpoint, I continued walking past it. As I started to get back on my bike I noticed the Glendale Police had someone detained on the curb. I walked passed the ?investigation? and after about 30 feet of clearance, since I already had my phone out, I turned around to take a quick photo (no flash). In the process of me taking a photo I noticed one of the officers coming towards me so i switched to video(no flash) and slowly walked away.

Officer BOLTON asked me can i help you?, I gave no answer because I was already walking away, and I obviously didn?t need any help. He then told me I was interrupting his investigation, and i needed to go about 1/4 of a mile away in order for him to not be distracted, or I was going to be arrested for not complying. I started walking away, he acknowledged that, turned around and started walking back to his his partner (whom HE abandoned). As he was walking back their suspect took off, because of his stupidity and ignorance.

Video 2 (posted below)

After going to the corner, I continued to film everything that was taking place. I was here for about 10 minutes when I noticed one of the officers that had the guy detained walk up to me. I stayed where I was doing nothing wrong. He then came up to me and told me to ?sit on the curb you are being detained?;, me being a free citizen who had done nothing wrong I told him ?no i had done nothing wrong.?

He then started getting physical and told me to put my arms behind my back, I asked what crime did i commit, and he told me ;I am under investigation I said for what, he then replied and said well that?s what we?re are trying to figure out. Last time I checked you are innocent until proven guilty, but in this case I was guilty until proven innocent. After resisting being detained he eventually got handcuffs on me. I was still standing and he had told me to sit on the curb, Angered by this whole situation I did not sit when he told me. So with all his body weight, he pulled me by the chain of the handcuffs to the ground where I then hit my head and fell right on the cuffs which caused them to squeeze my wrist.

Still confused about why I was being treated like this, they sat me down for about 15 minutes when officer Bolton showed up spitting on the ground in front of me, being Extremely rude. They accused me of knowing the guy because I looked at him when i walked by and we made eye contact. Does that make sense? First of all, does everyone who walks buy someone being arrested or detained automatically know them? Second, If you thought i knew him then why didn?t you ask me that when we first made contact, and why did you let me go? After me not talking, and them threatening (bluffing) to take me to jail numerous times, even after I still didn?t talk. They let me go, Scott free, telling me to have a nice night, after abusing me like an animal or some criminal. I went to the hospital to find out I had a sprained wrist.

I dont know why cops feel they are some divine soldiers of god, where they can just go around doing what they please. Some may argue I should of just minded my own business in the first place, but after being abused by these cops numerous times I like to LEGALLY get as much documentation as possible, when I can. I didn?t yell out pigs!, I simply Stood at a distance and wanted to take a quick picture. I also don?t know what the guy was detained for.

Why are cops so afraid of a camera?

Officials: Boston Suspect Had No Firearm When Barrage Of Bullets Hit Hiding Place

By Sari Horwitz and Peter Finn

Although police feared he was heavily armed, the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing had no firearms when he came under a barrage of police gunfire that struck the boat where he was hiding, according to multiple federal law enforcement officials.

Authorities said they were desperate to capture Dzhokhar Tsarnaev so he could be questioned. The FBI, however, declined to discuss what prompted the gunfire.

Other law enforcement officials said the shooting may have been prompted by the chaos of the moment and some action that led the officers to believe Tsarnaev had fired a weapon or was about to detonate explosives.

These new details emerged as investigators continued their examination of the movements and motives of Tsarnaev, 19, and his brother, Tamerlan, in last week?s coordinated bombing, which killed three people and wounded more than 250.

chris, what about him shooting himself in the neck? I think that was another false report, it seems the police are the ones who shot him in the neck, not himself.

Here's from the article:

"In the immediate aftermath of Tsarnaev?s capture, police officials said he had fired from the boat and he was reported to have been captured with several weapons. There were also reports that the gunshot wound he suffered to the throat might have been an attempt to kill himself as police moved in."

Jacksonville Cop Kills Unarmed Drug Suspect

by Phillip Smith

A Jacksonville, Florida, police officer shot and killed an unarmed drug suspect during a traffic stop early Wednesday morning when the man reached down inside his car. Davinian Darnell Williams, 36, becomes the 28th person to die in domestic drug law enforcement operations so far this year.

According to Jacksonville Police Chief Tom Hackney, Officer Jeff Edwards pulled over Williams for "driving suspiciously in a[n]? area known for drug activity." Williams tried to evade Edwards by making sudden turns and running stop signs.

When Williams finally stopped, the chief said, he refused commands to show his hands and was moving around inside the vehicle. Officer Edwards moved from one side of the car to the other to get a better view of what Williams was doing.

"At that time, the suspect made a sudden motion, reaching down," Hackney said.

Edwards then opened fire, shooting seven times through a side window and hitting Williams with six of the shots. Williams died at the scene.

Police found 17 grams of powder cocaine in one of Williams' socks and less than a gram of crack cocaine in the other. There was no weapon on Williams or in the car.

Williams had a criminal record dating back to 1992, including possession of marijuana, sale and possession of cocaine, resisting arrest, and battery on a law enforcement officer.

Officer Edwards has been placed on administrative leave while the State's Attorney's Office investigates.

Williams' killing was the seventh shooting by Jacksonville police this year and the fourth fatal one. In 2010 and 2011, Jacksonville police shot eight people each year, and in both years, four of them died.

"These traffic stops are filled with inherent dangers," Hackney said.

So, what's is the problem here ? I'd say the cop did his job.in a similar situation I would have shot the guy too. In these circumstances the cop had too assume he was about to be shot. You all,Americans have something with killing ?!I suppose you like it , no wonder : if we see where y'all coming from?? Mostly European bandits emigrated or ''exported '' by governments here
We remember the killings on Natives too well, now mostly Hispanics are under fire.(sometimes litterally !) Pathetic ! Funny how Zimmerman as attacked by a thug and there is so much controversy over the death of "Thugvon" Martin, yet, in this case the cop had *NO* idea that there was any danger to him. Yet, there won't be much controversy if a tin badged jackboot kills someone. Maybe the guy had a bumblebee that flew down his shirt. We'll never know now. The blue suited clown with a popgun murdered him. We need to repeal all the laws that allow murdering jackboot bastards from killing innocent people.

anonomous@1:34 - Why didn't the cop just move away? You're probably one of those that wan to repeal stand your ground yet when a cop isn't attacked and had no idea if there was danger to him and he kills, well, thats OK.

Way to stand up for freedom and justice people, Way to stand up!

It is my hope that a jackboot government agent never kills any of your loved ones. But, if they do, you will remember this post and weep bitterly for it.

"These traffic stops are filled with inherent dangers," Hackney said.

So, stop it! There are only a few real crimes in life. All your corporate statutes and codes are Color of Law. Simply, they are a revenue collection scheme. The cops are the real criminals here. Stop oppressing us. Back fucking down!

Karma gonna get you!

*Shakes Head*

You can loose your life for moving too quickly?

Just....................................................................................................amazing.

Murder....out and out.

@166137

No, the cop did not do right. Cops are supposed to defend and protect, and if this means they have to put their life in danger - by, say, letting the suspect prove they have a weapon by trying to attack with it - then that's what they have to do. Or rather, they used to. Now it's kill and make up answers to someone else's questions, rather than ask them yourself.

Caught On Tape: Cop Sucker Punches Suspect In Back Of Head, Then Charges Him With "Assaulting A Police Officer"

Victim Suffers Permanent Brain Damage
Chris | InformationLiberation

The Montgomery Advertiser reports:

McLEAN, Va. ? A former Loudoun County sheriff's deputy is facing a federal civil rights lawsuit after a patrol car camera appeared to show him knocking out an unsuspecting target with a blow to the back of the head delivered at a full sprint.

Sterling, Va., resident Carlos Garcia filed the lawsuit last year in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, but papers were served only recently on the defendant, Terry Daniel, who resigned from the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office last year.

Garcia's lawyer, Victor Glasberg, said the video ? which has been posted on YouTube ? is clear and unambiguous evidence of an unprovoked assault. It shows Garcia standing with his hands in the air next to another deputy and his back turned as Daniel approaches rapidly. Garcia collapses immediately after being struck by the deputy.

In the lawsuit, Garcia says the blow knocked him unconscious and has left him with permanent brain damage, including headaches, loss of memory and confusion.

After giving the man brain damage, the cop charged him with assaulting a police officer.

Interestingly, it was Garcia who wound up being charged following the November 2009 incident with assaulting a police officer. Court records show he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of misdemeanor battery and received a suspended sentence.

Note, the police likely intimidated him into taking a plea deal through threatening him with a felony trial. (See this article, "The Police State Abolishes the Trial" for an explanation of how this scam works.)

In the lawsuit, Glasberg writes that Garcia consistently denied assaulting anyone, but opted to plead guilty to a reduced charge with a suspended sentence to avoid a felony trial. And Glasberg said the criminal allegations are unrelated to the assault Garcia suffered; even if the incident had unfolded as police described, it would have been minutes before Daniel's attack on Garcia, Glasberg said.

How many incidents like this happen without being caught on tape?

You know, if you don't do anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about. After I was arrested, handcuffed they walked me back to the cop car, and threw me on the concrete 4-5 times bloodying my knees. Not the same as getting punched in the back of the head though. This stuff happens all the time. Some police will even kill and cover it up, not to mention plant drugs on people. Happens all the time! if you don't do anything wrong my ass, if are unjustly detained you stand an excellent chance of falling into this trap. police stop people every day on suspicion.
once the lights come on - you are at their mercy, having done nothing wrong is of no concern to them. if you don't kiss but to suit the officer , you will be framed.
overzelous undertrained armed and dangerous describes today's street cop This looks to me like another cop jacked on steroids just attacking for no apparent reason. The steroids problem with police in America is pandemic and nothing is being done about it. In fact it is being covered up.

Two cops fired over horrific video which shows them beating up suspect - then CELEBRATING

By Daniel Bates

Two cops have been fired after being filmed brutally beating a suspect then doing a celebratory chest bump.

The shocking footage shows the officers holding the man down, punching him and kicking him in the head more than a dozen times.

As he lies motionless on the concrete the officers move away - and bump each other in the sick celebration.

Suspect Nicholas Blume had only been stopped for a traffic violation at the time in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when he was beaten up.
[...]
In an apparent attempt to cover his tracks, Doyle later wrote in his notebook that he was afraid Blume had a gun on him and needed to be restrained.

The footage was only released after a Freedom of Information request by the Albuquerque Journal - but the first version did not include the chest bump.

Instead it finished after the kicking and did not show the end, where the cops congratulate each other.

Cleveland Cops Caught On Tape Brutally Beating Suspect

by Asraa Mustufa

A jail video in Cleveland has surfaced disputing official police statements on a booking incident from last January, where the arrestee claimed police brutality.

Jalil Anderson was arrested on suspicion of driving under suspension. At the station, police say that Anderson violently struck officer Martin Lentz with his belt, hitting Lentz in the face, at which point police forcefully subdued him, and Anderson was charged with assaulting a police officer. During the pretrial, County prosecutors subpoenaed the surveillance tape but were not told that it did not exist. The assault charge was dropped in April, and Anderson pled guilty to resisting arrest. But after an inquiry by the newspaper The Plain Dealer, police released the video last week.

The video shows Anderson removing his jewelry and belt, as is customary during booking, and throwing the belt on the table. It grazes officer Lentz who then cuffs Anderson. Anderson resists and then several officers begin forcefully restraining him - a much different sequence than what Lentz filed in the police report.
