Dec 9th, 2014: UNARMED Black man shot by white cop in Orange County, Florida

 

Law enforcement officials told reporters that Chaney had complied with the deputies’ commands, but that Bartee had “extensive furtive movements,” causing McCarthy to fear for his safety and open fire.
One witness questioned why shots had been fired, saying both of the alleged suspects had been complying with the commands.

 

 

“You could see right in the car. Both of them had their hands up and they still shot at the car,” Ernest Miles Jr., told WKMG, adding that he had to take cover in his second-floor apartment.

Is there any movement that a Black or Latino person can make that is not ‘furtive‘?

grand jury

 

A grand jury (since 1166) is made up of 12 to 23 people. It is used by public prosecutors, sometimes judges, to look into possible wrongdoing, generally a serious crime like murder, rape or fraud.

They do not determine guilt, but whether there should be a trial.

Grand juries can issue an indictment. It lists which people are to be brought to trial charged with what crimes.


Judges can also determine whether there should be a trial by holding apreliminary hearing with the lawyers from both sides.


Public prosecutors (county prosecutors, district attorneys, state attorneys, etc) can also bring charges on their own if there is enough evidence – even when the grand jury returns no indictment.

…

Police brutality: Public prosecutors are in bed with the police: they work with them and depend on them. That creates a conflict of interest when the police commit a crime. Throwing it to a grand jury gives an appearance of fairness, but because grand juries rarely disagree with prosecutors, it becomes a way to avoid bringing charges. That is how the police officers who killed Michael Brown, Eric Garner and John Crawford avoided arrest, trial and prison.

Cops who are supposed to serve and protect are killing us.

And then, they don’t even try to save our life when they mess up.

Attorney On Garner Decision: “This Is The Lowest Point For Civil Rights In America”

 

On Wednesday the nation was literally hit with a massive punch to its collective gut as we learned a Staten Island grand jury failed to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo for the chokehold death of 43-year-old Eric Garner.
Despite video evidence that captured the entire incident leading up to the Garner being drug down to the ground and exclaiming 11 times “I can’t breathe,” the 23 person panel which comprised of 14 whites and 9 non-whites decided to not indict Pantaleo for his actions that caused the death of Garner.

Did the swat team, ask Rodriquez to toss the machete out the window? If not, why not?

 

Do U.S. swat teams not have patience to let the person fall asleep and then taze them if needed?

 

US police are quick to use deadly force when there is no need for it.
