It's unfortunate that for every bad cop, there will likely be a dead cop. The bad cops make it more dangerous for the good cops. When they are exonerated from criminal acts, that makes it harder for the law enforcement to get assistance from the public.
Lawrence Crosby is suing the city of Evanston, Illinois after he had a brutal encounter with the police. And it was started by a call by a concerned citizen who believed he was "up to no good."
He was doctoral student at Northwestern University. He was pulled over in 2015 after a woman called 911 saying he looked like he was stealing a car.
He is a law abiding PhD student. But to the caller and the five officers who roughed him up, he was a no good car thief.
"This is my vehicle, sir. I have evidence..... I purchased this vehicle on January 23, 2015, from Libertyville Chevrolet," said Crosby.
It wasn't enough for the officers. When he got out of his vehicle with his hands up, they flung him to ground, kicked him and ordered him not to move. They placed him in handcuffs and detained him.
The Evanston Police released the dash camera footage and it detailed the half-hour encounter.
Lawrence Crosby from his Linkedin profile.
In October, Crosby was heading to Northwestern University. He noticed something in his vehicle wasn't right. So he got a metal bar out of his vehicle trying to fix the strip on the roof.
A white woman saw him pass by. He was wearing a hoodie and he had a bar in hand. She called the law.
"He had a bar in his hand, and it looked like he was jimmying the door open," said the caller.
When Crosby drove off, the woman followed his vehicle and relayed the directions to the police.
Crosby was on the phone was on the phone and talking to someone about him being followed.
"It was a little bid dark. You know how it is with Black people ---- they think we're always trying to do something wrong," Crosby said.
He was heading to the police station. He felt that the was the only place available for his safety.
He thought wrong.
He was arrested and charged for disorderly conduct and failure to obey a police order. The case was thrown out. The officers who roughed up Crosby weren't placed in the freezer and they're back on the beat ready to buck an unarmed Black person.
The woman said, "I didn't mean to racial profile the guy."
Her name is Blake Murphy.
Blake Murphy, expect death threats. You're going to get them for trying to be a "hero". Your reactionary decision to follow a motorist because you suspect criminal activity was not only dangerous, but extremely stupid. You give the information to the law and let them handle it.
Progressives are plotting to infiltrate conservative organizations. Their first target in their sting operations is conservative troll Allison Maass.
The founder of Project Veritas James O'Keefe is plotting to infiltrate progressive groups who plan on protesting the fuhrer's inauguration. The conservative agitator who is a part of the White extremist movement called the alt-right has been influential in destroying the careers of innocent people.
He along with this troll named Allison Maass have recently tried to go after progressive organizations that are rallying their base during the next four years. The Undercurrent is a group that is working on trying to disrupt conservative groups attempts at trying to paint progressives as violent radicals.
Maass was trying to infiltrate Americans Take Action. She was trying to bribe a hefty sum to ATA.
She was telling ATA that a guy known as Mr. Simon was trying to pay them for inciting violence at the fuhrer's inaugural.
The counter-sting, carried out by The Undercurrent and Americans Take Action, a project of a previous target of provocateur O'Keefe, managed to surreptitiously record elements of O'Keefe's network offering huge sums of money to progressive activists if they would disrupt the ceremony and "put a stop to the inauguration" and the related proceedings to such a degree that donors to the clandestine effort would "turn on a TV and maybe not even see Trump." To have riots blot out coverage of Trump, the donor offered "unlimited resources," including to shut down bridges into D.C.
The Undercurrent, led by executive producer Lauren Windsor, is sponsored by American Family Voices, which was among a constellation of groups infiltrated by O’Keefe's Project Veritas during the presidential campaign, an effort to link Democrats with voter fraud.
Maass, who previously was caught attempting to infiltrate the Senate campaign of Russ Feingold in Wisconsin, as well as the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton. Maass was also a lead infiltrator during the voter fraud campaign.
Windsor, in investigating Project Veritas, discovered the name of a front group, Breakthrough Dev Group, that O'Keefe was using to set up stings. Somebody from BDG contacted an allied group, which reached out to activist Ryan Clayton. Windsor arranged to have the meeting secretly recorded.
Cleveland Police officers Frank Garmack and Tim Loehmann may have escaped a state and federal murder charge but they're not out of the woods yet. They have an internal investigation they are dealing with.
This could eventually have them fired out the cannon. They both have been in the freezer pending the outcome of the federal civil rights investigation. In November 2014, the two approached Tamir Rice at a park. They responded to a call of a young male with a firearm. Loehmann within a few seconds of contact shot and killed Tamir as he exited the cruiser.
William Cunningham was also named in this investigation as well and he could be fired out the cannon.
They have hearings at the end of the month, according to local media.
Loehmann faces six charges for falsifying previous employment history on his application for the Cleveland Police Department. Loehmann did not disclose that he “was allowed to resign” from his prior job at the Independence, Ohio, Police Department, local media reported.
He may have also failed to mention he had been insubordinate and dishonest to a superior, and that the department had concluded that he had, “an inability to emotionally function.”
Garmback, who drove Loehmann to the scene, faces two charges stemming from allegations that he drove too close to Rice while responding and did not let the dispatcher know when he arrived. The third officer, Cunningham, is alleged to have been off-duty and working an unpermitted second job at the Cudell Recreation Center at the time of the shooting, and is accused of completing and signing a false report.
If found guilty, they can be suspended without pay or their jobs could be terminated.
The Cleveland Police Association President Stephen Loomis issued a statement defending the officers.
“There is no question, and there has never been, that the death of Tamir Rice was tragic,” Loomis said in the statement. “Nevertheless, all agree that Officer Loehmann was not wrong in reacting the way he did.”
He added that it was disappointing that Garmback was being charged for driving too close to Rice, “when it is apparent that the car slid in the ice and mud well beyond what he had intended.”
Loehmann and Garmback, who are white, had responded to a report of a “guy with a pistol” at the Cudell Recreation Center on Nov. 22, 2014, where Rice, who was black, had been playing. While the person who called police had mentioned the gun was “probably fake,” that description was not mentioned to the responding officers, according to local media.
More than a year after a grand jury declined to criminally charge Cleveland police officers for the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was carrying a toy gun at the time, the police chief announced Friday that they are facing internal disciplinary charges.
Loehmann, who shot Rice, faces six charges for falsifying previous employment history on his application for the Cleveland Police Department. Loehmann did not disclose that he “was allowed to resign” from his prior job at the Independence, Ohio, Police Department, local media reported.

While the person who called police had mentioned the gun was “probably fake,” that description was not mentioned to the responding officers, according to local media.
Within a second of exiting the car, Loehmann shot Rice, who at that point had an airsoft pellet gun in his waistband. The shooting triggered a national uproar, resurfacing a history of black boys and men dying at the hands of police and spurring several investigations.
The next month, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder released an unrelated report that Cleveland police had consistently exhibited unnecessary and excessive use of force – even in cases where police were simply called for a mental health check.
“Accountability and legitimacy are essential for communities to trust their police departments,” Holder said in a statement at the time, “and for there to be genuine collaboration between police and the citizens they serve.”
Details of Loehmann’s previous employment history also emerged in local media outlets.
Corrupt cop Frank Garmback tried to cover for Loehmann.
One year later, a Cuyahoga County grand jury decided that Loehmann and Garmback should not be charged, a decision that the county prosecutor upheld.
Since then, an internal police committee has spent a year focusing on the two officers, which led to the charges police announced on Friday.
The Justice Department is also reviewing the case to see whether they violated any federal civil rights laws.
Rice’s mother told the Associated Press after the announcement on Friday that she was upset that Loehmann is avoiding charges for a second time for his use of force, and that both officers should be fired.
“I think this process has taken entirely too long,” Samaria Rice said.
They are innocent until proven guilty by a grand jury.
Whine with Tomi. This blonde beeyotch is becoming more mainstream by Black entertainers Trevor Noah and Charlamagne Tha God.
Since The Daily Show host Trevor Noah's interview with conservative troll (alt-right darling) Tomi Lahren, many people are seeing her as a potential threat to journalism and social integrity.
To go so blind with accusations against people she barely knows is one thing. To reward her with book deals and a television show spewing racially charged rhetoric is another.
Lahren is about to leave The Blaze network soon. She is gunning for bigger opportunities now that her man-crush fuhrer Donald J. Trump won the election. She, Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter, Alex Jones, Michael Savage, and Sean "Softball" Hannity are doing a gloating tour. Her most famous outburst was the nasty comparison of Black Lives Matter to the Klan. She believes that the BLM's protesters are similar to the Klan.
She also took aim at Beyonce, Jay-Z, Colin Kaepernick, Jesse Williams and others.
Lahren is a "Hop-Hop Republican" as she describes herself.
Her most recent feud is involving Wale, a Washington, DC, rapper who is closely associated with Miami rapper Rick Ross.
Wale was addressing Lahren by song by calling her "Tammy" instead of her actual name. He was trying to subliminally call her out for her negative compassions of Black leaders by saying her name wrong.
The alt-rights hate us
Some back baby mommas hate us
We only learn half of the drama, other side crazy
On behalf of Charlemagne I'm sure he ain't trading sides
Maybe I should meet Tammy Lahren, I'll Lauryn Hill her
Trainor, she miseducated anyway
Prolly hate the color of my face
Lahren took the bait and she's been feuding with Wale ever since.
So if you're gonna put someone in a song...diss 'em.. perhaps get their fricken name right next time @Wale
Now Raw Story and many other outlets are digging into her past. Her past was full of teenage joy and first year college scenarios. She was then a raging liberal before she became a darling of the white extremist movement.
Syracuse University student Matt Gehring uncovered a series of videos from Lahren's University of Nevada-Las Vegas days, where she hosted a political roundtable show on UNLV-TV called "The Scramble."
In the 2014 videos, Lahren (whose signature shout-at-the-camera approach is noticeably absent) can be seen acknowledging the scientific consensus that climate change is real, and advocating for lawmakers to address the “multi-dimensional issue” of gun violence.
"Despite this cold snap, scientists have reached a consensus: climate change is occurring," Lahren said in one video. "What are we going to do about it is the controversial question we will address here today."
In 2017, Tomi calls everyone snowflakes and fragile. But in 2014, Tomi hosted this civil discussion about slurs and their place in society. pic.twitter.com/ed31Be9e5k
Tomi won't mention the words "gun control" without blaming Islam. But she calls it a multi-dimensional issue here, with no mention of Islam. pic.twitter.com/evDEUVbdPc
As Gehring points out, while Lahren today "won't mention the words 'gun control' without blaming Islam," in college she managed to get through an entire segment on the nuances of gun violence without mentioning the religion.
"We need to understand that it's a multi-dimensional issue,"she said in 2014. "So anytime you have a rampage or school shooting, it's not caused by one thing. It's not cause by the gun, it's not caused by the violent media or video games, it's not caused by mental health—anything entirely. It's a multi-dimensional issue so it needs to be addressed from all angles."
So far, the troll responded to videos with the words,"So!"
Lahren doesn't apologize for her past. All she cares about is basically getting attention and spewing her rants.
You notice fuhrer Donald Trump doesn't wear a flag lapel. He meets with Steve Harvey.
Who says I can't be bitter about the results?
Who says I should get over it? I refuse to and I won't. I will not rationalize White extremism.
I don't have to mince words when I say, fuck Donald Trump.
I don't have to respect him. He didn't respect Barack Obama. So the feeling is mutual and longstanding. He is not a president. He is an immature 70 year old man. He is a controversial billionaire. reality television star, business mogul, pussy grabber, xenophobe, Islamophobic, sexist, narcissistic jackass.
See in the world of White supremacy, the only good Black people ain't called NIGGERS.
Conservatives often look at Black leaders as the "grievance" industry.
They don't value our lives. The only lives they value is the self-righteousness and finger wagging.
People are pissed that Steve Harvey, Jennifer Holliday, 3 Doors Down, Flo Rida, and Kanye West are engaging with the fuhrer. Anyone who supports Trump is just as bad as he is. I don't care who they are.
Steve Harvey having a sit down with President Barack Obama.
And they are rightfully being taken to the woodshed for doing so.
Harvey, who went to the second White House to talk to Trump over housing issues.
The nominee for the Department of Housing and Urban Development is failed presidential candidate Ben Carson. He is going through a testimony for the confirmation.
Harvey who is the man of all things, may have some backlash over this. Matter of fact, he might not be on good terms with D.L. Hughley, his fellow "Kings of Comedy" co-star.
When the white extremist say "inner cities" is code for BLACK. They believe that Blacks are living in fatherless societies. They believe we're the cause of economic turmoil. They believe that entertainers are elitists (if they're not in support of the fuhrer).
Harvey said that he's not attending the inauguration of the fuhrer. He said his wife won't let him.
Now before we go on a Steve Harvey, Jennifer Holliday and Flo Rida bashing tour, we want you to know that they have performed for President Barack Obama as well.
Harvey did remark about how Trump's rhetoric totally changed politics forever.
Harvey who currently hosts Miss Universe may be getting some tips on hosting duties from the fuhrer. Harvey also hosts Family Feud, Showtime at the Apollo, his morning radio show, his daytime television show and Little Big Shots.
James Comey refused to pursue allegations of Russian meddling in election.
The government agency overseeing the U.S. Justice Department is looking into the actions of James Comey, the FBI director. The Inspector General is concerned that Comey's last minute decision to look into perennial failure Hillary Clinton's emails doomed her in the final weeks of the presidential election.
The decision to reopen the case became the talk of the nation and also led to fuhrer Donald J. Trump winning the election.
Of course, he refused to go after Trump's connections to Russia. He basically blew all that off for some goddamn emails.
Michael Horowitz will not look into the decision not to prosecute Clinton and her aides. Instead he will review the actions of Comey took that Clinton and many of her supporters believe cost her the election.
The news presser in July which he called the actions of Clinton, "extremely careless". The latter to Congressional Republicans in October. Then the decision to close the investigation in November.
Democrats are seething with anger over this. Comey was also briefed on the Russian hacks and chose not to pursue the allegations of them meddling in the election.
Trump during his campaign wanted Comey fired out the cannon for not pursuing charges against Clinton. Trump said that the system was "rigged" and the FBI was politicized by him. He said if he won, he would continue dogging Clinton. So far, that's not going to happen. Even the Benghazi Committee finally closed.
Now that he will be the fuhrer, he might keep Comey on to do political witch hunts against the Democrats, Rosie O'Donnell, Meryl Streep, Megyn Kelly, CNN, the women who accused him of inappropriate behavior, his ex-wives, and his likely mistresses.
Clinton and former president Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter without Roselyn and the Obamas will be there to see their mortal enemy sworn in.
Vice fuhrer Mike Pence will be sworn in by Clarence Thomas, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Trump will be sworn by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Unrepentant motorist gets LIFE for her callous attack on innocent parade watchers.
Adacia Chambers, the woman who ran her vehicle through a crowd of people in Stillwater, Oklahoma found justice. She was given a LIFE sentence in the iron college after the jury convicted her of murdering four people on her mission.
According to the law, she was under the influence when she decided to plow through the homecoming parade for the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Chambers was sentenced after pleading no contest to four counts of second-degree murder and 39 counts of assault and battery.
She was fired out the cannon at Freddy's Custard and Steakburgers for being on drugs. She got angry and decided to end her life by taking out others.
Nash Lucas, a toddler, Nakita Prabhakar, a 23 year old MBA student at Oklahoma State and a married couple Bonnie and Marvin Stone, both 65 lost their lives to this unrepentant terrorist.
Her defense for this act of terrorism was mental issues. The jury said she showed intent.
Prosecutors says Chambers steered her car around a police barricade and sped up before plowing into spectators.
Chambers will now have a chance to appeal the decision. Unfortunately, the LIFE sentence does carry a chance a parole. After serving at least 30 years in the iron college, she may have an out.
First time ever, a Black women will appear on a coin.
The U.S. Mint rolls out a new coin. The new $1.00 coin for the first time will feature a Black woman.
The mint will celebrate 225 years by minting this county with Lady Liberty depicted as a Black woman. The 24k gold coin will be the first of a series of coins that will also carry depictions of Asian-American, Hispanic-American, and Indian-American women, says the U.S. Mint.
The last gold coin was Sacagawea, the Native American woman who helped Meriwether Lewis and William Clark through the rugged United States. The last dollar coin was Susan B. Anthony, an American activist who fought for voting rights for women.
Then of course, our past presidents were on the dollar coins as well. The current living presidents and soon to be fuhrer won't be added on coins until death.
The Democratic Party can't win the battle against stupidity. Republicans vow to repeal Obamacare despite the possibility of causing a backlash against those who enrolled and the agencies that need it. Minority Leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) do their presser blasting Republicans.
Stupidity continues to plague the American government. Republicans passed a budget resolution early morning sealing their pledge to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act.
So if you have pre-existing conditions, be prepared to pay out of pocket because the morons in Washington allowed their egos drive their votes. And they dismissed the anger from constituents as "scare tactics".
51 to 48 members of the Senate gave way to Republicans taking away 20 to 30 million enrolled Americans from having health insurance. Whereas lawmakers can get healthcare for their families, you won't get affordable health coverage for your family.
Now eight years later, Republicans are making good on their promise to "repeal and replace" the law.
It comes as no surprise that the fuhrer has nothing to worry about. He's got the best doctors to take care of him and his family. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) can literally have health care at the drop of a dime. The Republicans are allowing their egos get in the way of making good on helping the American people.
Two cocks in a barrel of monkeys.
Regardless of the scare tactics, Democrats seething from their defeat are promising "no compromise" with the fuhrer. The spineless Democrats (yeah, Heidi Heitkamp, Joe Manchin, Jon Tester, Bob Casey, and Bob Menendez) will stand in the way of getting things done. They want to protect their healthcare and their jobs. They can't even take a bullet for the team. I mean what worthless bunch of lawmakers we elect.
I guess the concern will be now getting rid of liability coverage for drivers of motorized vehicles.
If they repeal the healthcare law, maybe we should strip out liability insurance. After all most states require you to have liability insurance when you operate a vehicle.
The fuhrer wants Republicans to get something out the gate quickly, because they can't pass this law without having a backup. Because if they repeal a law without making any replacement, it's going to be a complicated mess created by ___________!
They'll began blaming President Barack Obama for their decision to repeal the healthcare law.
The Republican Party shut down the government and caused such uproars while in power and now they're rewarded for it.
He doesn't care anymore. He made a point. He wanted to get the ball rolling for the impending racial war. Dylann Roof is the poster child of the junk food media's rationalization of white extremism.
He is a fixture of the so-called alt-right. He is a conservative. He's a member of the Republican Party and a proud supporter of his fuhrer Donald J. Trump. I normally blame the shooter for mass shootings. But since the trolls want to blame Black Lives Matter for the kidnapping of a special needs man by four horrible Black terrorists, we will blame conservatives for this.
The blood of this murderous scum lies on the feet of Fuhrer Donald J, Trump, vice fuhrer Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, Trey Gowdy, Mark Sanford, and Joe Wilson.
Roof was given the DEATH CARD after hours of deliberation in the sentence phase.
This white extremist went into Charleson's Mother Emmanuel AME Church in 2015 and massacred nine churchgoers before taking off. He was caught in North Carolina.
He killed Rev. Clementa Pinckney, a state lawmaker, Susie Jackson, Rev. Daniel Simmons, Ethel Lance, Cynthia Hurd, Tywanza Sanders, Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor, and Myra Thompson.
The white extremist showed no ounce of remorse for his actions.
He took the words of conservative agitators and white extremists. He believed in his mind that Black men were raping White people and taking advantage of the system. He felt that Blacks were making Whites less superior.
Juliet Huddy was one of the women caught in the "No Spin Zone" with Bill O'Reilly. She settled with Fox News over allegations the number one cable news agitator sexually harassed her.
The number one face in cable news is creepy old racist pervert.
Looks like Bill O'Reilly had another "fucking thing sucks" moment. The folks over at Fox News were accused of hiding a sexual harassment scandal that didn't even involved Roger Ailes. It was Bill O'Reilly, himself and he was sexaully harrassing former Fox News and Fox New York anchor Juliet Huddy.
Huddy reached a settlement with the network executives and it was swept under the rug.
Jack McCarthy, the current co-CEO of Fox News was also an alleged player in this. He was accused by Huddy of sexaully harassing her when she became the anchor of Fox NY.
Huddy who is the goddaughter of Ailes was hired at Fox in the 2000s.
In 2011, Huddy was a commentator on The O'Reilly doing "I'm Mad As Hell" segment.
During the break-time, O'Reilly would try to pursue a relationship with Huddy who was single at the time.
The ego has landed.
"When she rebuffed his advances, he tried to derail her career," the letter said. "He invited her to his house on Long Island, tried to kiss her, took her to dinner and the theater, and after asking her to return a key to his hotel room, appeared at the door in his boxer shorts."
McCarthy on the other hand wanted to give Huddy a back massage and tried to grope her. He was also trying to have a relationship with her. When she rejected his advances, he tried to retaliated against her.
She was offered a "high six figures" sum to keep out of the limelight during the Ailes affair.
21st Century Fox and O'Reilly's lawyer denied the accusations.
Gabriel Sherman, the writer for New York Magazine and MSNBC said that Fox News secretly paid out four women since Ailes left.
Wondering who's who may have taken a buyout. Was the Marina Vladimirovna Orlova? Was it Tonya Reiman? Was it Rudi Bakhtiar? Was it Anna Kooiman?
President Barack Obama delivers his final primetime speech to the nation.
I'm going to miss Barack Obama as our president.
In Chicago, he delivers his final address to the nation before he prepares for the transition of power.
He will hand over the power to a controversial reality television star who happens to be a billionaire.
A man who is an avowed racist, sexist, xenophobic, and narcissist. An immature 70 year old man who happens to be named Donald J. Trump. He will be your next fuhrer of the United States,
The pussy grabbing begins on January 20th. The Obamas, the Clintons, Jimmy Carter and Mitt Romney will be there for the inauguration.
