What Happened To Elroy Clarke?

Even a well off Black man can be killed by police. Elroy Clarke called the police to remove an individual and he ends up dead.

This is Joe Biden's America. This will be Donald J. Trump's America. 

I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.

More chaos.

No George Floyd Policing Act.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person or the police should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

Long story short, a man in Charlotte County, Florida was lynched by the deputies. A Black man called 911 because he wanted a person trespassed from his property.

The man was confronted by five deputies. It started somewhat cordial until one of the deputies ran his address in the system and it had a warrant for a minor offense.

It quickly escalated to where deputies deployed a taser and another used pepper spray. Then they used batons. Then they quickly resorted to deadly force.

Not once did the man attack the police. He remained defiant because he said they were on his property and he demanded them to leave. Then they used beanbag shots before the man runs towards a deputy where the bitch shot him six times. The bitch claim he was hit in the head. Literally getting hit by a beanbag projectile is extremely painful and possibly fatal. The man wasn't even trying to attack the deputies. As you see he was resistant but not violent.

Elroy Clarke, 42 died.

The deputy who shot him went sobbing like a fucking baby. The deputy did not render aid or showed any any compassion for the unarmed man.

Ron DeSantis and Republicans love this.

They will say if he would have complied.

He called the police and they unalived him.

The incident happened on Wednesday, Oct. 23, on Sandy Pine Drive near Punta Gorda.

The body cam shows the deputy who tased Clarke and later shot him dead.

At 12:15 p.m., deputies responded to a disturbance between two men, Troy Johnson and Clarke.

Clarke called to report that Johnson, his tenant, was acting erratically and wanted him off his property.

During the course of the interaction, deputies identified Clarke as having an active warrant for failing to appear in court on a trespassing charge from an incident on June 4.

Deputies attempted to arrest Clarke. However, Clarke said he didn't know who Elroy Clarke was and claimed his name was "Ben Day."

Deputies asked Clarke to put his hands behind his back, but he refused.

Body cam video shows that Clarke was repeatedly warned that he would be shocked with a stun gun if he did not comply. After being stunned multiple times, Clarke still refused and was immediately pepper sprayed.

The deputies finally arrest the individual who Clarke called on.

He remained standing, repeating that he was unaware of why he would be under arrest, video shows.

After further discussion between deputies and Clarke, one of the officers retrieved a less-lethal bean bag shotgun from the patrol car.

Clarke was hit multiple times and remained standing.

At this point, the video shows Clarke lunging toward a deputy who was holding a gun.

In the text of the video released by the sheriff's office, it said, "After Clarke was struck with the final bean bag round, he charged at and made contact with Deputy #3. Deputy #3 was holding his service weapon. Deputy #3 and Deputy #1 discharged their service weapons, striking Clarke."

CCSO said CPR was performed on Clarke until medics arrived. Clarke was pronounced deceased at the scene.

In a news conference on Wednesday, Sheriff Prummell promised to provide this video as soon as possible so the community would be able to see what happened during the incident.

This is what the junk food media to describe Elroy Clarke. They used his mugshot from a previous encounter. It gives the perception of his death being justified.

According to Prummell, the deputies are on administrative leave as per protocol.

Johnson ended up being arrested for failing to register as a convicted felon.

According to the arrest report, Johnson is facing charges of possession of firearm by a convicted felon, manufacturing marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Prummell said CCSO is working with the State Attorney's Office as the investigation continues.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

No more lengthy talks about gun violence and police violence.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence as well.
