Kimani Gray Protests - Treatment Of Protest Shows Police Misconduct As Much His Death Did

Via PolicyMic by Hannah Kapp-Klote

East Flatbush has been on lockdown for the past three nights, and protests against the NYPD’s shooting of Kimani Gray continue. Gothamist discusses an incident during the protests that characterizes the long-standing tensions behind them, between a female demonstrator and a male police officer. It “began with the cop telling her to get on the sidewalk, and her responding, ;Or what, you’ll shoot me?' The officer, whose helmet had the number 7987 on it, said, ‘No, but I’ll slap you.’”

The shooting of Gray, however indecent, is not the only reason protesters are angry. Police conduct in handling the protests surrounding his death are just one incident of many in a trend in the criminalization of dissent and the consequences of systemic racism.

Right now, tensions are high in the neighborhood where Kimani Gray was shot. Demonstrators have been marching in a vigil each night since the event, and over four dozen people were arrested Wednesday night. Over 100 people have shown up to protest each night, but on Monday, a smaller crowd reportedly looted a Brooklyn Rite Aid, injuring a pastor in the process. On Wednesday, police used pepper spray and orange nets to "kettle" groups of protesters, and some of the people arrested in that group were on their way home and had nothing to do with the night's action. These actions, plus the ability of the police to keep the media out of an area, is part of a Flatbush’s categorization as a “frozen zone,”where the police have significant discretion in restricting activity. This is a representation of the way the NYPD has stepped up its presence at all sorts of protest through over-policing.

The handling of East Flatbush right now is not an isolated event, but a trend in the treatment of protesters and dissenters by law enforcement. As City Councilman Jumaane Williams said to NYPD Commissioner Gray at a budget hearing this week: "We're not going to pretend that what happened yesterday is just one incident," Williams said. "It is not the details of one shooting. It is about how you and the NYPD and the Mayor have reacted to these communities. It is about years of not being heard." As a man who works with youth in the area (quoted in the New York Times) noted, “I understand the state of mind that these youths have. The problem is there is no relationship with the police.”

“The police say, ‘Look at these kids, they’re wild,’” Mr. McPhatter said. “And then they use that as an excuse to be wild themselves.”

It’s clear that whatever happens in East Flatbush is not a standalone occurrence. While the smashing of a Rite Aid is certainly not condoned, it must be acknowledged that the problem of police relations brought to the forefront by Gray’s death is not a new question, but the catalyst for frustrations built up in East Flatbush on an everyday basis. From the NYPD’s ”stop and frisk” policy to the shooting of Shantel Davis last summer, the residents of East Flatbush, and people of color all over New York and the United States, are viewed as suspicious simply because of who they are.

The police's reaciton to the Kimani Gray protests, then, are indicative of a broader trend in the criminalization of dissent and systematic racism around the country.

Chaos On The Streets Of Brooklyn After NYPD Kills Teenager

Scott Olsen, Vet Hit In Head With Tear Gas Canister, Told He Has "A Chip On His Shoulder"

Via Daily KOS

Mayor Jean Quan Confirms Her Status as an Asshole.

On December 12th, 2011, Mayor Jean Quan of Oakland, California told 10,000 totally peaceful protesters that they were committing "economic violence."

Months later, instead of offering sympathy and promises of a full and fair investigation, Jean Quan made another stunning pronouncement. This time to Adam and Jeralyn Blueford, not long after their son had been executed by an Oakland Police Officer on May 6th, 2012. She said

"You're probably going to sue me, right?"

Now she's at it again.

Scott Olsen, the Occupy Oakland protester and Iraq War veteran who suffered brain injuries after police shot a tear gas canister at his head, says Oakland Mayor Jean told him he had "a chip on his shoulder" at the conclusion of Wednesday night's community meeting on public safety.

The same Scott Olsen who received a quilt from Daily Kos peeps? The Scott Olsen who selflessly helped stage a protest in support of Bradley Manning this summer? The Scott Olsen who stood in peaceful protest beside his buddy on October 25th, 2011, nearly losing his life as a result of actions by Quan's thugs? HE HAS A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER??

J.Quan told me she realizes I have a chip on my shoulder. Insulting, more like a broken skull and brain trauma.

— Scott Olsen (@OlsenVet) March 7, 2013

Really? Really??
Mayor, you are a pathetic, disgusting individual. No, you are below that. You are a sad excuse for a turd. No wonder 60% of Oakland residents say they disapprove of your job performance.

Here we see Mayor Quan in action, at said public safety meeting Wednesday last.



Scott Olsen, the person whose brutalization at the hands of her police outraged a nation and was partially responsible for sending 50,000+ people into the streets of Oakland on November 2nd, 2011, is asking a rather important question of Bob Wasserman. He's the man at the podium who is being paid $250,000 to "solve" the violence problem in Oakland.

Olsen... asked what sort of example it sends to the community when police are not prosecuted for crimes they allegedly commit.

Wasserman didn't answer the question. (No police officer has yet or likely will ever be indicted in the assault on Olsen).

Quan, shown in the background sitting next to the metal guide rail, is playing with her smartphone or tablet; she probably didn't even hear the question.

Philly Cop Acquitted Of Punching Woman At Puerto Rican Parade

Swipe A Beer Bottle... Accidentally Hit... Sorry, Video Doesn't Lie

http://youtu.be/HPjLwQm0bPo

PHILADELPHIA — Triggering a deafening eruption of cheers from a courtroom packed with scores of Philadelphia police, a city judge Tuesday found former police Lt. Jonathan Josey not guilty of simple assault for swinging at and decking a woman during an unruly street party after last year's Puerto Rican Parade.

Municipal Court Judge Patrick F. Dugan said he remained troubled by Josey's conduct on the 10-second video that shows Josey hit Aida Guzman from behind and knock her to the ground during the Sept. 30 incident.

Dugan, however, cited Josey's testimony that the 19-year decorated police veteran was trying to swipe a beer bottle from Guzman's hand and accidentally hit her. Josey said he acted in the context of an escalating melee in which some spectators were throwing beer bottles at police trying to arrest a driver doing "donuts" in the middle of the intersection.

Second Former LAPD Joe Jones Releases Peaceful Manifesto - Urges Dorner Not To Kill

My Former LAPD Officer Joe Jones MANIFESTO...

I know most of you who personally who me are in disbelief of the partial story I will tell today. A story that has been suppressed for about 18 years, But lives strong everyday of my life.

I without hesitation would like to send my condolences to the Victims who were lost and their families during this tragic situation. I would also like to send my condolences and well wishes to the many former and current Officers, as well as Citizen's and their families who lost the lives and souls of loved one's to the injustices of Police Corruption, Scandal, Lies, Deception and Brutality.

Unlike Former Officer Dorner, I fear dying; But I also fear living in a society where Innocent people are dying for no reason. A society where pain so great can be afflicted to people who have to desire to live right and treat people right and then be punished for doing right.

They say we all look alike. In very few cases this of course is true. But in most cases it is not. I feel a resemblance to Dorner, (See Photos) However several people who have no resemblance to Dorner have been shot due to the fear of what is taking place. I DO NOT WANT TO BE SHOT FOR CRIMES I DID NOT COMMIT!. Neither does anyone else.

To preface my story I will say this: Just like former Officer Christopher Dorner I used to smile a lot. I loved everyone. I was voted Friendliest Senior of my Sr. Class in High School. I always believed in the system and never got into any trouble. I loved hard and gave to all I could. After Joining the LAPD in 1989 I quickly found out that the world and society had major flaws. I had flaws as well for ever believing that our system of government was obligated to do the right thing. his is what I believed as a young Officer. Without going into major detail, I need you to first assume that I would not surface 16 years later with lies about a situation that has me with PTSD to this very day. The pain forces me to speak as I have yet to shake the Ill's of my experience as an LAPD Officer. Of course I have moved on physically. But mentally and emotionally I still live with flaws.

I can't go into re-living the emotions of what I went through so I will say this. I had my home viciously attacked by a gunman with my family and myself inside the house. No arrests were made and my family and I Received very little support. I had my Civil Rights violated on several occasions. I was falsely arrested at gunpoint by the Sheriffs as an Officer who ID'd himself and was conspired against by both LAPD and the Sheriffs when my Civil case went to Trial. I was falsely accused on more than one occasion and simply placed in a position that the trust was so compromised that I could no longer wear the Uniform. Also know there were many more episodes. All of these issues are well documented and I present them not to be a Whistle blower, However to hope that one would not assume that all of what is being said is Lies as presented by Dorner. I don't know him, But I know me. I will say from my experience, If a person knows they were wrong it is easier to move on without anger. Seems that Dorner obviously could not move on... Could I just be content and move on with my life and not say anything? Yes...Then I would feel that I for once had my chance to speak on something that hurts me to this day and I did nothing to arouse thought or provoke reform. This is what I hope comes from this whole situation:

1. Families that lost someone to this tragedy find the peace that only God can give at this terrible time.

2. Citizens of Los Angeles be mindful of this fearful time to be an Officer and comply vigorously so that you are not the victim of an Officer on high alert.

3. Government and Politicians please be diligent in the responsibility of creating Laws that protect those who could be the victim of a conspiracy. Never allow the door to be shut on the Truth.

4. Honest and Fair LAPD & All Agencies: Keep doing what you are doing to protect citizens and be safe while you are doing so. We need you and I would hope that you do not allow the Bureaucratic drama and Stress to kill your morale as I know it can.

5. Unethical LAPD & all Agencies: Whatever is was that lead you down this path, Pray to somebody's God to forgive you and begin to remove unethical methods to your policing style. Always think what if it were you, How would you feel?..How would you like if you were falsely accused and your life, lively-hood and career was taken from you? How would you like if someone was beating on you just because they felt they could get away with it? You are no better the criminals you took and oath to arrest when you do what you do!

6. Chistopher Dorner. The 1st thing I would say to him is, I feel your pains!...But you are going about this the wrong way. To take innocent lives could never be the answer to anything. I say this as a Man who experienced the same pain, betrayal, anger, suffering, litigation and agony that you did in many ways, Only I didn't get Fired. I just choose to go a different route. My heart still suffered that same shock, I was still left to try and put the pieces back together. The disbelief that people could conspire and cause you to loose something you loved so dearly was still there. I lost my Career, I lost my Family, I lost my Dignity, I lost my Trust...But I am here now to hopefully one day see change...Bro, Don't kill anymore Innocent people. Your point has been made. Clearly. They know you mean business, The whole world knows. Refrain from any further wrong doing and do what you must to salvage your Soul. Whatever that means to you. Just remember that God is a forgiving God.

In conclusion I say to people who knew none of this about me that one day I will have to reflect on when was the time to speak. When I see the potential for innocent lives to be lost...The time is Now!...JJ

Anonymous Joins Growing Support Of Dorner In Exposing LAPD

Pastebins have recently been showing up with the hashtag #opDorner the past couple days showing Anonymous' support of Christopher Dorner. It's unclear at the time whether they are condoning the actions of the accused murderer or just using the situation as an outlet to expose LAPD corruption.

This one showed up February 8th on pastebin.com:

#OpDorner Communique #1


Aaron Swartz Brigade


February 9, 2013


It says something that, more than 24 hours after a fed-up ex-cop who'd been run out of the LAPD for standing up to corruption and bigotry killed several people, we as a society have failed to achieve our usual post-shooting consensus. By now, we'd normally be wringing our hands over gun laws and mental illness as we reflected on the incident from the safe perspectve of history.


Now, though Dorner's still out there, and so we are not safe historical observers. We are ACTORS in the ongoing drama. The veneer of control and normalcy has been shattered; we've had enough time to digest what he's doing and why he's doing it, and we can no longer simply label him as a psycho and move on with our lives. Instead, as the LAPD's control has slipped, it has begun to show its true colors as a horrifyingly racist, incompetent, trigger-happy, and psychopathically violent institution, as they desperately mow down innocent black men and asian newspaper women. Protect and serve our asses; the LAPD is nothing more than a brual occupying army that deserves the same treatment as occupying American soldiers received on the streets of Falluja.


This is not a shooting spree. This is an insurrection. Stations, Anons!


We Do Not Forgive.
We Do Not Forget.
Expect Us.

Hello, officers of the Los Angeles Police Department, we are anonymous.


As national headlines regarding the vigilante acts of former LAPD officer Christopher Jordan Dorner continue to intensify, we have decided amongst ourselves to pursue an appropriate recourse.


And so we watched with dread and utter hilarity as the LAPD began to pursue this man.



However the department has proven once more that it is incapable of serving the public, look no further than to the women who became LAPD’s most recent victims. The two were shot without warning and were not even given the chance to surrender simply because LAPD thinks they are above the law.


No one is above the law.


In coordination with federal authorities, the LAPD is now conducting a massive manhunt for The Dark Knight Christopher Dorner, so that they may effectively silence him forever without due process.


And now since the authorization of drones have been approved for the first time ever to pursue and execute an American citizen on United States Soil, the US Government will stage this event to set a new precedent from which it can assassinate American citizens for little to no reason at all.


But do not misinterpret us for we do not condone the vicious acts that Dorner has allegedly partaken in. Instead we sympathize and resonate with his struggle. Dorner was not born a killer he was a law abiding citizen that was tainted by the corrupt and inhumane practices of the Los Angeles Police Department who serve only themselves.


We however do not accept this fate, and call upon our brothers to raise arms against the LAPD, for justice and for the lulz we will rise to disrupt, dismantle and dissect all aspects of the manhunt whilst revealing the LAPD’s unwarranted hypocrisy.


We are hated, vilified, and like Dorner, considered to be enemies to the state. But there are those who whisper that we are culture and a necessity that bring truth to a cloaked world. In this spirit we will forge ahead and allow #OperationDorner to commence!

MSM's Response To Growing Support

It's gotten to the point that even main stream media has been responding to what seems like blatant support of a murderer. The whole situation begs the question of whether we are hearing the whole story. The unfortunate thing is that this man will most likely not survive long enought to have a day in trial and tell his side of the story seeing as how the LAPD is shooting first and asking questions never.

Coral Springs FL - Hospitalized Then Raided For Posting Police Brutality Video On YouTube?

Published on Aug 14, 2012
The Very next day I was home invaded. Illegally they have no warrant as you see by the video. I had just left hospital day before this and the police warned me to remove the videos I posted from them brutally assaulting me and I lost my spleen and other assorted guts to police brutality. I posted the videos and was then warned to take them down or else. Again the very next day they broke in my home illegally and Assaulted me as you see by this video. I'll take a lie detector test to confirm what you already know is true. Coral Springs Police are as corrupt as any other police force you have an encounter with. Many police encounters are deadly. I almost dies at the hands of coral springs police and also their fire rescue paramedics. All are sick and sadistic and care nothing about you, your family, your home or your lives. They care not if you die in their care... It's become very sick in these times your aware now of the truth. This video is one that survived the police deleting. They beat me in cuffs and deleted as many videos as they cared to delete. They left behind a few and I've posted them. The truth hurts.
Be well people pass on love today!
