A rookie cop – the son of a highly respected New York City detective – has been stripped of his badge and gun after being caught on video viciously attacking a bicyclist who was part of a Times Square demonstration. Police officials say Patrick Pogan was dismissed last week. He was suspended last year after pleading not guilty to criminal charges of filing false paperwork.

His lawyer, Stuart London, says his 23-year-old client resigned and expects to be vindicated at trial. Pogan is accused of knocking Christopher Long off his bicycle without justification on June 25 during a group-organized bike ride. Pogan had arrested Long, saying the cyclist blocked traffic and steered his bike into an officer, but charges were dismissed after the video appeared on YouTube.

Brown caused his own death.

This avoids the truth that up till now the public has been on board hash police tactics. So far as I know we still are.

First whites do not assume that is the case from the first and second whites allow the court system to function and not decided to used such happenings as an excused to do some free shopping and to see the pretty flames as hard working family businesses own by whites and blacks and others burn to the ground.

Seriously, try using sentences.

Speaking of over sized bullies.

The city of Yamhill, Oregon has never seen such a brutal act of violence committed by the very man sworn to protect and to serve the community. A 4-year-old boy was beaten by a reserve officer so brutally he had to be flown by LifeFlight helicopter to a Portland hospital where he is still in critical condition.

Yamhill County sheriff’s deputies responded to a medical call concerning an injured 4-year-old. The type of injuries on the boy’s body indicated that he was physically abused, and the first suspect was his mother’s boyfriend, 34-year-old Michael Shane Abo. After a three day investigation, Abo, a former Yamhill County Sheriff’s deputy, was arrested.

KATU TV news reporter interviewed Abo’s neighbors and came to a shocking conclusion that this horrifying act didn’t come as a surprise to them. Ruby Swartz, one of the neighbors, said that there was something odd about Abo.

“I think he should be persecuted as far as he can be”, said Swartz, still shaken up by witnessing the ambulance taking the boy.

Abo is currently in custody in the Yamhill County Correctional Facility. He is charged with first degree assault and criminal mistreatment. Due to the severity of the child’s injuries, he’s held on $1 million bail.

California Cops on Trial for Killing a Schizophrenic Man

The case of a homeless 37-year-old man beaten to death by California police officers makes a precedent for future cases involving police brutality. For the first time in the history of Orange County, police officers are on trial for actions while on duty.

Former officer Manuel Ramos has been charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter and former corporal Jay Cicinelli is charged with involuntary manslaughter and the use of excessive force. They are both pleading not guilty.

The two officers were responding to a possible vehicle break-in when they encountered Kelly Thomas, a 37-year-old living on the street. Surveillance video footage shows Thomas sitting on the pavement disputing with one of the cops. When the cop hit Thomas on the back, he got up but was ordered to get on the ground.

A couple of seconds later, the other cop hit him with a baton and knocked him to the ground. Over the next several minutes, officers beat Thomas with fists and butts of their guns and tased him several times. He was complaining that he couldn’t breathe and apologizing, begging for them to stop. A third officer joined in and the tasing continued.

At one point in the video, Ramos can be seen putting on latex gloves and telling Thomas, “Now you see my fists? They’re getting ready to f… you up.”

Thomas was brought to the hospital with severe injuries and fell into a coma. He was removed from life support and pronounced dead five days later.

Coronary report showed that Thomas had died from blunt force trauma and chest compression that prevented him from breathing. The officers’ defense is trying to portray Thomas as a drug addict whose methamphetamine abuse lead to his death, but the toxicology report showed no signs of alcohol or drugs in his system the night he was murdered.

Ron Thomas, Kelly’s father, is concerned that the defense will try to justify the murder on the account of his son being schizophrenic with a history of violent tendencies and drug use.

“It doesn’t matter what my son did in his life, it just doesn’t matter,” Thomas said. “It’s what the officers did that night. That’s what this trial’s about.”

Are your sources so biased you cannot post them like every one else?

How stupid are you? You never place sources. But assume for a moment that I am as shallow as you are. Do what I do: I copy the headline and the first sentence of your unattributed quote and google it.

What are you denying from my post, 'wad? That they happened? That these two yahoos aren't being tried? Google it if you haven't heard about this case yet.

Here you go dummy:

Florida Man Mistaken For Car Thief Shot In His Driveway

Roy Middleton, a 60-year-old man from Pensacola, Florida, was shot at 15 times by the police after being mistaken for a car thief. Thirteen out of fifteen bullets missed the target and Middleton survived, left with a shattered leg.

It was late at night when Middleton drove from a friend’s house and parked in his driveway. One of the neighbors mistook him for a car robber and dialed 911. Two Escambia County officers, sheriff’s deputy Jeremiah Meeks and Sgt. Matthew White responded to the call and drove to the scene. According to them, Middleton failed to obey their orders and lunged at them, which resulted in the shooting. They fired 15 shots altogether but hit Middleton only twice, shattering his leg. They handcuffed and arrested the injured man who was released after the identity mistake was cleared up.

As the result of the shooting, Middleton’s leg is held together by metal rods and he can’t walk without a walker. He claims that it took less that 30 seconds for the officers to shoot at him and that he wasn’t trying to disobey their orders.

“Why would I lunge at someone halfway down my driveway? How I’m going to lunge at them? With what? I was getting ready to do what they asked me – raise my hands, and I got shot during that.”
Middleton was unarmed, holding his car keys with a keychain flashlight on them when he was shot. He says that he was sober at the time and that he only had a couple of beers around 2 p.m. that day.

Sheriff David Morgan supports the officers’ story, claiming that it was the “herky-jerky” movements of the man that made them believe he was lunging at them. Roy Middleton is in the process of filing a suit against sheriff’s office for excessive use of force. Both officers are currently on paid administrative leave as the case is under investigation.

13-Year-Old Carrying Toy Rifle Killed By Police

The case of 13-year-old Andy Lopez who was shot and killed by two Santa Rosa police officers has spurred a protest of hundreds of outraged citizens of his hometown.

The tragic incident happened on October 22, as young Andy was walking home after playing with his friends. They were playing with air-powered pellet guns and Andy was carrying one he borrowed from a friend. Two Sonoma County deputies spotted the boy walking down the street and mistook his toy gun for an AK-47 assault rifle.

48-year-old deputy Erick Gelhaus stepped out of the car and ordered the boy to drop the gun. As Andy instinctively turned around, Gelhaus fired eight shots, hitting him seven times and killing him at the spot.

Further investigation showed that Gelhaus’ reaction was so hasty his partner didn’t even have time to get out of the car before the shooting.

“We believe that the time period between the time the deputy told his dispatcher what his observations were and the time he advised on the radio that shots were fired was 10 seconds,” Lt. Paul Henry said.

Santa Rosa Police Department placed Gelhaus on administrative leave, pending an investigation.

Unfortunately, this is just another in a long line of incidents related to police mistaking gun replicas and toys for real weapons. Last year, a Texas eight-grader lost his life for carrying a pellet gun mistaken for a black Glock. U.S. police reports show there are around 200 such incidents per year.

Justice Dept.: Cleveland police have pattern of excessive force
Source: CNN

(CNN) -- Above a vehicle bay at one of the Cleveland Division of Police's district stations hangs a sign that reads, "forward operating base," implying the station is in war zone.

The sign sends a message indicative of the community's opinion of the division, Justice Department officials said in a report released Thursday on its nearly two-year investigation that found Cleveland police had demonstrated a "pattern ... of unreasonable and unnecessary use of force."

"This characterization reinforces the view held by some -- both inside and outside the Division -- that CPD is an occupying force instead of a true partner and resource in the community it serves," the investigative report said.

The report further found that Cleveland police use guns, Tasers, "impact weapons," pepper spray and their fists in excess, unnecessarily or in retaliation. Officer also use excessive force on those "who are mentally ill or in crisis," the Justice Department said.

Wow, I cant wait to get the next newsflash. American police use excessive force as a matter of SOP. They have been using increasing amounts of force pretty much my entire life.

Maybe we have gotten to ENOUGH!, but I have yet to see polling or political action that indicates that this is so.

Such mock weapons should be mark by the law with large marking that ID them as mock weapons and not deadly weapons they look like.

In a number cases where the mock weapons had those markings the marking had been removed

In any case, as even young children had gotten a hold of real weapons and had used them so when parents allow their children to walk around with such mock weapons that can not be told from the real thing are guilty of placing their children at risk.

It not the police fault for needing to treat such mock weapons as real.

While Bob seems to have spend a large amount to time researching every time a cop or cops may have acted badly in the total nation it does not change in any way or in any manner the fact that officer White acted legally and in self defense when attacked by Mr. Brown.

How dare anyone actually use a dictionary?

Shills are the ones that ignore the dictionary and just give us their uninformed opinion what they think words should mean based on listening to Glenn Beck.

I think we're getting to a tipping point.

Freudian slip there. No, none of you guys are racist.

Cops tend to think like its a game of win and lose, not right and wrong. The cop who shot the 13yr old with a toy rifle who wrote in his FB account that he treated "law enforcement like a contact sport", who shot that kid according to eyewitnesses in less than eight seconds from his arrival on scene, and that cop in Cleveland who shot the twelve old, not even letting the car come to full stop before shooting him. What the hell?

There is only ONE road back to a respected police force.
Prosecute and harshly penalize officers that break the law.

HARSHLY.

If someone is entrusted to enforce our laws, they should get the MAX every time they break one of our laws.

That is the ONLY road back to respect by the general public.
