THE
ENDEMIC PROBLEM OF
POLICEBEATING
PEOPLE UP!
����������������������ï
We
are the folks who salary the cops with our high taxes, yet
they take joy in pounding our faces in --every chance they get.
Did you know that you can ask your GOOGLE page to give you google alerts
on any subject? If you don't want to miss a story on something you're researching,
you want to get a Google alert. Mine was on this phrase "BEATEN BY POLICE."
I didn't expect a whole lot, but DAILY this kind of story comes in, two
or three times, stories the robot found on the news services about police
brutality incidents, (all occuring in America oddly enough. The norse don't
do it, The Brits don't do it. The SWISS certainly don't do it. The ex Nazis
in Germany don't even do it. If you judge by headlines, RUSSIANS don't
do it in spite of the fact that's all they did from the thirties through
the eighties. JUST the AMERICANSKI!.)
The GOOGLE ROBOT kindly spotted every single victim of a peace officer
passing some poor citizen through the manly meat grinder, with video occasionally!
A few meek maids went through the cop chopper but of all the stories I
get daily, this Alabama victim had a spin that caught my attention!
This poor African American man DID NOT KNOW he'd been beaten up by cops,
or remember being caught and pounded into raw meat cuz Cops hid the video
of it. And the judge gave the fellow 20 yrs. for some assault crime never
detailed A year later somebody finds the VIDEO and blows the whistle!
The headline caught the amazement we all felt. It read:
ALABAMA Man Didn't Know He'd Been Beaten By Police Until Video Surfaced!(Subheadlines keep saying it different ways) Police Beating Caught On Camera Five Birmingham police officers have been fired for beating an unconscious man after he was thrown from car. Police Beating Caught On Camera. Police Beating Intentionally Left Out Of Video Handed To D.A. Hoover's police chief says his department left out the clip of five Birmingham police beating an unconscious.
Anthony
Warren didn't know he was beaten by five Birmingham police officers
until
video of the incident surfaced more than a year later. The
man who was
beaten by
five Birmingham police officers is serving 20
years
in prison after pleading guilty to an assault charge in March. But
he's
not done with court.
Anthony
Warren's attorney, Wendy Crew, filed a claim against the city in
March,
the first step before filing a lawsuit seeking damages. She said
Wednesday
the claim was over the "horrific" beating and an attempt to
suppress
the video of it.
District
Attorney Brandon Falls said the tape surfaced unexpectedly as
prosecutors
were preparing to try Warren. He said prosecutors had a video
of the
chase "but the beating was not on the copy we had."
Falls
said the prosecutor wanted to play the video for the jury but, for
technical
reasons, she needed another copy and asked for the original.
"We got
the original the week before the trial ... and that's where she saw
the
rest of the tape," he said.
He said
they contacted the defense, the Alabama Bureau of Investigation and
the
Birmingham police chief.
On Wednesday,
police chief A.C. Roper fired the five officers involved in
the
beating. Roper is also reviewing the action of as many as a half-dozen
supervisors
who saw the video over the past year and never reported it.
Crew
said police "deliberately tampered with the evidence" in their
handling
of the video prior to the criminal trial.
"As horrific
as the beating is, the deliberate tampering of evidence is
just
as horrific," she said.
Crew,
who did not represent Warren in the criminal case, said he fled in
the
van because he was confronted by a man who never identified himself as
an officer,
was not in uniform and drove after him in an unmarked car. She
said he had
not been accused of any crime when the pursuit began.
She said Warren,
who was hospitalized for a few days after the chase,
was "totally
unconscious" when he was beaten and did not know it happened
until the
video surfaced.
When anything in the news sticks out, I send it on. So I sent this not only out onto the net, posting it on THE FUTURE , WHAT'S COMING ARCHIVE --but out to my mailing list. I got this back from an Englishman
What disturbs me about such stories is this: 'Only occasionally' are the police thugs fired, and that there are no criminal indictments against these 'gentlemen' following 'discovery' of their criminality. The charges against the police thugs should obviously be:
a. Bodily
assault, a felony.
b. Brutal
and unwarranted assault against a citizen.
c. Vicious
and sadistic attack and bodily assault upon a defenseless
and unconscious
person;
d. Conspiracy
to pervert the course of justice;
e. Perverting
the course of justice by tampering with and withholding
evidence essential
for the defence in a court of law;
f.
Lying in a court of law in order to influence the court to find
against the
accused;
g. Cash
judgement for criminal damages by both the city and the police department.
h. Anything
else that can be thrown at them so that they serve a few years
of their lives
in prison and get beaten up a few times, themselves!
But none of
that happened!
