Black Lives Matter

If you are back and care about other black people watch and listen to this.

Will have to remember that: Clinton, "glad to be a Goldwater girl." Against civil rights.

I have a very hard time seeing that Obama has stepped up to the plate to compare himself to Bernie sanders but I am glad to see Obama is trying now to be on the right side of history. Did he just endorse Bernie?

Ok so your black and I am not but do we agree on moral issues?

Bernie is toast...

No he is alive and kicking. PLEASE vote for bernie

Bernie is not toast when compared to his republican rivals.

Connecticut cops more likely to use stun guns on minorities

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Police in Connecticut were more likely to fire their stun guns at minorities than at whites in 2015 and more likely to shock Hispanics multiple times than shock other racial groups, according to an analysis released Thursday of the first statewide data of police stun gun use in the country.

The findings didn't surprise Wilson Ramos, whose brother died after East Hartford police shot him with a stun gun two years ago. But police and state officials were quick to warn against making conclusions about the data.

"It's my hope that this report kind of gets the attention that it needs and that the officers discharging the devices get proper training so people won't continue to suffer from permanent damage or death," Ramos said. He and his brother are of Puerto Rican descent.

Ramos has a lawsuit pending against police, saying officers beat his brother, Jose Maldonado, and shot him with a stun gun for about 20 seconds, leading to his death. Police officials deny the stun gun was deployed for 20 seconds and say the officers were justified.

Bernie is an inspiration, a hero amongst liberals, a legend. He would stand up the big nasty trump and squish him like a bug. Come on progressives, vote Bernie!

Come on bobsal, stun guns? What are cops supposed to do, hug?

A stunt must be a joke, no?

Special Prosecutor To Investigate Cops Tied To Jason Van Dyke

CHICAGO (CBS) — A Cook County judge on Friday ruled that a special prosecutor will be appointed to look into whether additional Chicago Police officers covered up the circumstances that led to the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.

Judge Vincent Gaughan transferred the matter to Chief Criminal Court Judge LeRoy Martin Jr., who will be in charge of selecting the independent special prosecutor.

Civil rights attorneys Locke Bowman and G. Flint Taylor, who filed one of the petitions seeking the special prosecutors, said they were pleased that Gaughan signed the order to investigate other law enforcement personnel.

“If the Chicago Police department had had its way, if no videotape had surfaced of how that shooting had happened, the false account in the police department’s official records would have become the quote unquote truth about how Laquan McDonald met his death. That injustice is so momentous and so horrifically appalling,” Bowman said.

Bowman called Gaughan’s ruling “a happy day for justice in the city of Chicago.”

No other officer other than Jason Van Dyke — the cop who pulled the trigger— has been charged in connection to the 2014 incident.

Gaughan said last month he would be selecting a special prosecutor to handle Van Dyke’s murder case after State’s Attorney Anita Alavrez changed her previous stance and recused herself.

Gaughan inherited the two petitions seeking the special prosecutor by the lawyers and the Rev. Jesse Jackson after Martin passed it on to him in March.

Bowman and Taylor said it was possible that one special prosecutor could end up dealing with 38-year-old Van Dyke and the additional officers who they say should be charged with official misconduct and obstruction of justice.

Van Dyke’s partner, Joseph Walsh, and Detective David March, whose account of McDonald’s shooting contrasted with the graphic dashcam video, were placed on “administrative status” in mid-December.

Several other officers who were the scene also backed Van Dyke’s version of events; that he fired at McDonald because he was in his fear for life as the teenager waved a knife and came toward the officers.

One officer said she was looking down as she put her patrol car in park and apparently did not look up again in time to witness the hail of bullets.

McDonald was moving away from police in the 4100 block of South Pulaski Street and was 10 feet away from Van Dyke when he was shot 16 times, prosecutors said.

“We know Chicago Police officers at the scene at the time of the McDonald shooting orchestrated a designed cover-up of how Laquan McDonald met his death,” Bowman said.
