“Gregory Gilbertson [director of the criminal justice program at Centralia College in Centralia, Wash] also explained that the lateral vascular neck restraint, the name of the chokehold used to restrain Frank, is typically a last resort. Because of its potential to restrict airflow, Gilbertson said it is typically used when deadly force is the only option.”
On Monday night, 15-year-old James Means was reportedly shot and killed by a man he “bumped into” outside of a Dollar General store in Charleston, West Virginia.
Means, a black teenager, was said to be unarmed.
That same night, police arrested William Pulliam, 62, in connection with the shooting. Pulliam had gone to dinner after the shooting.
Pulliam was white and carrying a gun, despite no permit to own a firearm due to a previous conviction for domestic violence
Pulliam reportedly “admitted” to fatally shooting Means, telling police, “The way I look at it, that’s another piece of trash off the street.”
Now though, Howard will avoid any prison or jail time at all, and could even have his conviction dismissed if he completes his two- to three-year probation without committing any new crimes or violations.
At least, they didn’t call him “a kid”, just “a student”, but it would be better if they called him a beast or an animal because no human being is able to harm a disabled child!
“Deputy Attorney General Casey Hemmer said it was neither a sex crime nor a hate crime” - then what was it? White boys having a little fun?
That’s real disgrace… Be careful, hide your children….
20-year-old young Black woman Megan Williams was held at a remote house in Big Creek and was tortured, sexually assaulted, and beaten for days before being discovered by the police. Once an assailant cut the victim’s ankle with a knife, calling her the n-word and confessing that she was kidnapped because of her skin color.
“They just kept saying ‘This is what we do to niggers down here,‘” Williams told The Associated Press.
However, six white people were charged with everything but the hate crime.
This brave woman hopes to attend college one day to become a nurse.
This case deserves national attention and an outrage.
Sandy Rougely, the victim’s mother, claims the cause of the incident was racial bias.
Sandy Rougely’s daughter was on an overnight campout with her sixth-grade classmates April 28 when a rope swing got caught around her neck.
Authorities want to know how a 12-year-old girl got a severe rope burn, but the student and her mother believe they know the reason - the girl is black and attends a predominantly white private school (Live Oak Classical School, Waco, Texas). They believe she was the victim of a racially motivated attack, the apogee of months of bullying by her classmates.
The girl said she was helping classmates pull a rope to move the swing when she stopped to watch.
She said she felt nothing except the rope wrapping around her neck from behind and being pulled against her neck. She fell to the ground and was tugged backward.
None of her classmates moved to help her, so she removed the rope, looked back and saw three boys, all of them white, who she said had been picking on her.
Sandy Rougely is planning to file a lawsuit against Live Oak Classical School.
it’s funny to me that white men systematically raped black women for hundreds of years, now if one of our children dates their daughter, they talking about “lifestyle choices”
On February 16, 2014, Yvette Smith, a 47-year-old mother beloved by her family and community, was shot and killed on the spot by local police as she opened the front door of her home. A full 18 months later, as her case finally came before a jury, it’s disturbingly clear that the police lied, repeatedly, in an attempt to cover up their murder of Smith.
On the day of her murder, Smith called 911 for help because two men in her home were arguing over a financial dispute and she felt it was getting out of hand. She had nothing to do with the dispute and was an innocent bystander—a victim, even. When the police showed up, both men were already in the front yard and it appeared that the dispute was settled. This should’ve been case closed, but it wasn’t.
The lies and the coverup began immediately. The entire department was involved.
What you need to know:
Police claim she was holding a firearm and they acted in self-defense. This is a lie. When Sheriff Terry Pickering issued the statement, he was fully and completely aware that Yvette Smith wasn’t armed. No weapon was found on or near her. He knew this. The officers on the scene knew this, but Sheriff Pickering issued that statement anyway. It sounded better.
Knowing that the evidence and scores of eyewitnesses saw that she was unarmed, police later retracted the statement, but have given absolutely no answers or held anyone responsible for the earlier lie—which was the primary reason given for shooting Smith in the first place.
Officer Gaskamp literally admitted that he made the whole damn thing up. He also stated that he couldn’t remember telling this lie to the lead investigator, until they played him the recorded interview where he stated the lie over and over again.
It was discovered that the officer who shot and killed Smith was found incompetent by another police department. The evaluation said the police officer who killed Yvette Smith struggled with “common sense,” but was hired by a neighboring department anyway.
This is a cause that concerns all of us and it’s really sad how little we care honestly it starts from showing at least the slightest bit of fucking interest or concern. No single community should be getting murdered at this rate, period, let alone without anyone even batting an eyelid.
