Cop Shoots at Unarmed Fleeing Man, Never Reports it to Department, Retired Cop Exposes Him

Not until a retired cop, who witnessed the atrocity, went to the media, did this corrupt cop’s department even find out about the shooting. But it was of no consequence, the department stands by their officer.

It does not have to be this way.

Indian Grandfather Nearly Paralyzed After Police Encounter in Alabama – [VIDEO]

 

Police in Madison, Alabama—a growing town just west of Huntsville—say they were responding to a call about a “suspicious person” walking around looking in home garages. That’s when they found Sureshbhai Patel, a 57-year-old grandfather with permanent residence status in the U.S. who was visiting from India. What happened next left him nearly paralyzed.

Patel, who doesn’t speak much English, was being questioned by officers who wanted to search him when, apparently, he tried to walk away. He was then thrown to the ground and eventually taken to the hospital where he’s being treated for fused vertebrae.

The incident isn’t necessarily isolated. South Asian Americans Leading Together, or SAALT, says that what happened to Patel illustrates the inequities communities of color face when dealing with the police.

“This incident is part of a pattern of racial profiling, surveillance, and violence that South Asians often face at the hands of law enforcement and part of the broader reality of police brutality in this country directed against Black and Brown communities,” says SAALT’s Suman Raghunathan via e-mail. The group says it’s echoing the demands of the Black Lives Matter movement to change the way that policing is done.

People, STOP calling the police on Black and Brown people.

Calling the police on Black and Brown people is often a death sentence.

The police are always armed and they will shoot anyone who reaches for their waistband, or is carrying anything black, or that looks like a gun or looks like a knife, or if they feel that they are in danger.

Cops Publicly Execute #AntonioZambranoMontes after he put his Hands Up

Pasco, WA — A man was publicly executed by Pasco police Tuesday as dozens of witnesses, including children, watched in horror.

A cell phone video uploaded to Facebook Wednesday shows several officers chasing down the fleeing man, who had his hands in the air, and then firing multiple rounds at him.

Police have not yet released the man’s identity.

The stop occurred after the man was acting erratically by the roadway. Officers were responding to a complaint that the man threw a rock at a passing vehicle.

According to the Tri-city Herald, Police tried to shock him with a Taser, but it had little effect on him, said Ben Patrick, who was just yards away in the grocery store parking lot with his family when the shooting happened.

“The guy was trying to pull the Taser (prongs) out of his arm,” a witness said.

The man allegedly ran towards officers who immediately began firing at him. After being shot at the first time, the man took off running, with his hands in the air. The second video shows him trying to surrender to police when multiple shots are fired at him, killing him.
