Phoenix Metro Police officers point their guns at an unarmed Black family. |
Yeah, this is disturbing. It's really bad for the Phoenix Metro Police. They are seriously doing damage control after two of their cops telling a man and his pregnant girlfriend to get the fuck out their car or he'll put a fucking cap in their head.
Oh, yeah!
BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
CONSERVATIVES SAY THAT THERE ARE MORE BLACK CHILDREN LIVING IN SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT A FATHER.
WELL THAT'S FUNNY! WHEN THE POLICE SHOOT AN UNARMED MAN, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE CHILD'S FATHER.
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS WON'T HEAL THE WOUNDED OR BRING BACK THE DEAD. LOWERING FLAGS, STREET MEMORIALS, MOMENTS OF SILENCE, SAYING "YOUR HEART GOING OUT" AND PRAYER ARE PLATITUDES. THIS IS A MAN-MADE CRISIS. OUR LAWMAKERS ARE NUMB TO GUN VIOLENCE IN THE UNITED STATES. DONALD J. TRUMP, CONGRESS, THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION ARE LILY-LIVERED COWARDS. THEY ENABLE GUN VIOLENCE BY ROLLING BACK LAWS THAT KEEP FIREARMS OUT OF POTENTIAL THREATS TO SOCIETY. FIREARMS KILL 96 PEOPLE A DAY. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO FALL UPON THEM.
Dravon Ames and Iesha Harper are filing a $10 million lawsuit against the law agency after two of their officers used excessive force and threatened to shoot them in an escalating encounter caught on camera.
Ames, 22 and Harper, 24 were pulled over by the law near 36th and Roosevelt Streets on May 29.
They allege the cops pointed a gun at their children, threatened them and physically harmed Ames and their daughter all because the child took a doll from a dollar store.

The Phoenix Police Department is investigating after an officer was caught on cell phone video sweeping a man's leg after handcuffing him, while another officer pointed a gun at a pregnant mother and her two daughters. https://t.co/Xpq1pIloNc pic.twitter.com/1NWOULXdFW— ABC News (@ABC) June 12, 2019
The encounter was filmed by numerous shoppers. They were shocked to hear cops deliberately threaten death on a woman and her children.
Ames said the video begins about 10 minutes after the law stopped them.
The couple said it all stemmed from an anonymous call to the law that their toddler stole a doll from a Family Dollar store----something the family says was an accident.
Ames said that they were dropping off their daughter at the babysitter's apartment when the unknown cop stopped them. Ames claimed the officers didn't use his lights or sirens. The daughters were 4 and 1 years old.
"Next thing you know, a police officer .... comes up, open the door, banging on the window wiht a gun, saying he's gonna shoot us in the face, telling us to get out the car," said Ames in a presser.
One cop identified as Meyers was on camera saying "You're going to get fucking shot!" The notice of claim says the officer basically saying "I'm going to put a cap in your ass!"
The cop then goes to the back side driver's door. He couldn't open it because it was malfunctioning and then he bangs on the window and threatens Harper who says she was pregnant.
The moment the cop slams Dravon Ames to the cruiser and forcing him to spread. |
This has gotten the attention of the Arizona Bureau of Investigation and possibly the U.S. Justice Department. Given that the law won't release their names out of fear for their safety, they are immediately placed in the freezer pending an investigation into whether justifiable force was necessary.
The couple have filed a civil rights lawsuit against the police department and it's also coincidence that some of the Phoenix Metro Police officers are under review for termination. Some of them were accused of sharing racist bullshit on social media.
Insults towards Muslims, immigrants, Black people, Barack Obama, LGBTQ and pro-Trump memes were caught on some of these dirty cops pages.
We are under fire. We are under attack. Black women are being treated like this is infuriating. We need to change the norm. Get this straight, I won't shed a tear or send thoughts and prayers to those killed by gun violence.
We need police reform.
We need gun control.
We need a president and Congress that changes the status quo. Seriously, we need it.
