Officers Nearly Beat Innocent College Student to Death-Then Claim Immunity from All Accountability

[@InstituteForJustice]

UPDATE: After this video, when the Supreme Court first heard James’ case in 2020, the government asked the Justices to recognize a new immunity under a law called the Federal Tort Claims Act. If the Justices approved this immunity, the door would be slammed shut on James’ case. Upon IJ’s urging, the Court declined to recognize this new immunity and instead asked the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear IJ’s arguments about why it should not be applied. Unfortunately, when this case was remanded to the Sixth Circuit, it cited outdated case law to apply immunity and let the government off the hook. Now, IJ is asking the Supreme Court to once again hear the case. ij.org/press-release/supreme-court-asked-to-strike-down-immunity-for-police-task-force-officers-who-brutally-beat-innocent-college-student/

This is what law enforcement was created for! Any time you have law enforcement you have communist nazis running around with protection from the government to do what ever they want without repercussions. Cops in America were created as peace officers to uphold civil rights not enforce laws like communisms do. Every cop is bad on that basis alone, they sign up to be just like nazis follow orders enforce unjust laws and policies.

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241 - Conspiracy Against Rights This statute makes it unlawful for two or more persons to conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person of any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the United States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same). It further makes it unlawful for two or more persons to go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another with the intent to prevent or hinder his/her free exercise or enjoyment of any rights so secured. Punishment varies from a fine or imprisonment of up to ten years, or both; and if death results, or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years, or for life, or may be sentenced to death. Deprivation Of Rights Under Color Of Law Summary: Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. For the purpose of Section 242, acts under "color of law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official's lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim. The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any. TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242 - Deprivation of Rights Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death. Title 42, U.S.C., Section 14141 - Pattern and Practice This civil statute was a provision within the Crime Control Act of 1994 and makes it unlawful for any governmental authority, or agent thereof, or any person acting on behalf of a governmental authority, to engage in a pattern or practice of conduct by law enforcement officers or by officials or employees of any governmental agency with responsibility for the administration of juvenile justice or the incarceration of juveniles that deprives persons of rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. Whenever the Attorney General has reasonable cause to believe that a violation has occurred, the Attorney General, for or in the name of the United States, may in a civil action obtain appropriate equitable and declaratory relief to eliminate the pattern or practice. Types of misconduct covered include, among other things: Excessive Force Discriminatory Harassment False Arrest Coercive Sexual Conduct Unlawful Stops, Searches, or Arrests

Most of the time these defendants are Black and/ or Brown and for even so more overwhelmed by the justice system than the defendant in this case. Mainly because they don't have 10% of 50K laying around to post that kind of bail and have to sit in jail until the court is ready to hear their case. Meanwhile the prosecutor is building and augmenting testimony to present to the jury to insure a conviction as the cops' testimony carries more weight than the claims of the defendant. This is how prosecutors get innocent people to accept plea deals. You should study the case of the central park five to get a better understanding of this phenomena!

At THAT point, senior officers should be making their way to the hospital to manage the situation, and try to resolve things as best they can, BUT not only does that not happen, but he is then booked in, and held as a prisoner in jail, AND has charges put on him?!?!

So...a "failed" sobriety test and my 0.5 clonazepam prescription in the truck sealed my fate. Correct pills in the correct bottle. All legal as can be. But the bottle says "may cause impairment." The kicker is...I DON'T DRINK. Ever. I got no ticket for any sort of moving violation so his whole reason pulling me over was bogus from the beginning. Blood test comes back 0.0 or whatever.

Same here. I've had too many incidents to tell all the stories though one where I nearly died. I was picking up my GF from work one day when I saw a car pull in. Its super suspicious because its 2 am and I know her ex just got released from jail. I drove to a 3 story parking lot 50ft away and watched them. When the three dudes in the car got out they opened up the back seat which had the windows covered and had chains and restrains tied into the car floor. I then got a call from my gf saying her ex was threatening her on the phone. I then immediately called the police and grabbed my gun I told them a kidnapping and shoot out were about to happen. The police came and created a cordon but didn't enter the lot or strip area we were in. They just let it happen. He eventually took my gf.hostage and got in a shootout with me. I eventually got in my car and pulled out of the lot right in front of them. Right as j was about to pull my gf into the car and start shooting the criminal the cops rammed my car. He ran. But j stayed and surrendered. The cops didn't chase them and let them escape instead their cordon collapsed around me. They dragged me out of the car and beat me leaving me in cuffs in a dirty alleyway with my gf for 2 hours. The guy was on work release from jail and they never followed up and arrested him. I nearly died that night from their incompetence. In another instance I had planned to meet with two friends from highschool. Little did I know they had turned into junkies. They robbed me and tried to drive away. I was stuck in the passenger window though and they dragged me down the street. I was able to grab my money and fall off the car but the junky driving slammed into a parked car while trying to squeeze me between the two. The cops eventually showed up and assumed it was a drug deal gone wrong. They coached an old lady (who wasn't even there but lived on the street) into being a witness for them, claiming that I had gotten into the drivers side and knocked TBE driver unconscious. I got charged for that Even though I was the victim. I even brought my pair of pants in that had drag marks on them from the incident. The court didn't care even though I had witnesses. I've had officers blackmail me too. I truly do advocate the policy of public hanging for 99% of police

[@Codex7777]

@@PHlophe - You appear to believe that such things never happen to white people. The facts suggest otherwise. It actually happens to a lot more white citizens than to black citizens. It's true that it happens disproportionately to black people. For instance, a black suspect is two and a half times more likely to be shot, than a white suspect. Some of this can undoubtedly be explained by direct racism. Either by individual officers, or even entire police departments, institutionally. Much of it isn't. For instance, black and latino suspects have a much higher incidence of being killed by black and latino officers. The major factor involved is poverty. Generally speaking, if you were born and raised in a poor area, you're more likely to be involved in criminal activity and much more likely to be stopped by the police, whether or not you're involved in criminal activity. Now, while more white people live in poverty, overall, a much higher percentage of the black population live in poverty, compared to the percentage of white people living in poverty. It's undoubtedly true that racism plays a significant role here too but so too does the political and economic system that does little to help people escape poverty. The main focus being on Wall Street and big business. Tl/dr - Racism is a major factor in these sad statistics but it's not always the direct factor that people often assume it is. Widespread, indirect and institutional racism probably plays an even bigger role. Nor is racism the only factor. White peopleborn and raised in poor neighborhood are almost as likely to suffer such injustices as their black counterparts and overall, a lot more white people are killed by police than black people. I absolutely support the BLM movement but the issue is more nuanced than most people acknowledge. Accountability of officers, for any actions, must be the priority atm. Though it's good that the debate has spread to look at racism in society as a whole. It's also encouraging that the protests have been by people of all races and have been supported by the overwhelming majority of Americans. Perhaps the times really are 'a changin'. :)

The problem is that QI isn't actually Qualified ("not complete or absolute; limited.") anymore.

There can't be a prior ruling finding the police violated someone's rights if all cases arguing this very thing are automatically dismissed under QI. The original intent of QI (immunity that is actually qualified) was to prevent honest mistakes (you arrested an innocent person but there was good cause to believe they were guilty at the time) from resulting in a lawsuit, not to protect cops who act with reckless disregard for the rights of citizens. The correct standard to apply would be something like would a reasonable person believe that their actions violate the victim's rights.

Everything afterwards is on the officers, the department, and the DA (city/county). EVERYONE can be sued for their part after they got him into cuffs and realized they f-d up. The officers for the false arrest, slander, libel, filing a false police report, perjury (because they filed the report and testified under oath), violating his civil rights, and sued civilly for the lasting harm done following the bad arrest, and the physical and psychological injuries. The department(s) can be sued civilly for providing an environment without sufficient oversight, leading to the false arrest, the wrongful prosecution (being charged and taken to court to hurt the person), slander, libel, perjury, violating his civil rights. The DA can be sued for wrongful prosecution, slander, libel, negience - unless he can prove that he had less than zero knowledge of the police doing what they did. If he had knowledge, charge him/her as an accessory after the fact, and for conspiracy to violate someone's civil rights using the power of their office. Basically if any of those cases are won - the whole system that was in place at the time of the arrest comes into question. If this arrest was bad, how many others were bad? If they lied under oath this time, for how many other cases did they lie under oath? If the DA conspired to charge the guy to protect the police/city/county from a lawsuit how many other times did this occur? We've seen recent examples of a crime lab getting caught fudging numbers, leading to hundreds of cases being tossed over YEARS. This is how far the damage to a government goes when the basic duties and police procedures are either ignored or adulterated by a few bad apples. Soap-box time.... When law enforcement loses the moral authority, they no longer have any authority in the eyes of the public (laws only mean something if the people believe they do, kind of like the value of money that way). We should just start dealing with this stuff the right way. Make it so a "dirty" department just can't legally operate anymore by making them uninsurable (one serious miscarriage of justice? Now you have to carry a $1Billion bond, for each officer on your force) - and all officers/staff of that department shouldn't be allowed to hold a job in anyway related to law enforcement or public office - and just to drive the point home, make the shutdown of a department a firearm disqualifying offense for all members past and present. The good cops will more or less get rid of the bad cops or they'll be branded bad cops for life. I generally like and respect cops, (have a few and have had more cop friends) but dirty cops and hiding one's mistakes by making 10+ other mistakes and ruining people's lives, is childish and demonstrates the lack of character and integrity required to continue in that role.

Celebrate the fact that as pigs fall the world has rid itself of one more terrorist. One more bully will not inflict pain upon another. When one falls, its headline news. In my world it's now a day of celebration. My world is celebrating along with the likes of heroes like Chris Dorner. A real hero. Pigs cry when one falls. In my world, tears of joy are shed and urine flows over the sight chosen to lay for eternity. My world enscribes the epitaph atop that resting sight that reads: rest in piss and the piss it flows like a fountain. It is a symbol of the life they lived. To the ones who will fall, urine is waiting to be shed upon your final resting place. It is a symbol of the individual you chose to be and the urine is held in higher regard than you, the fallen pig. You get what you give and you gave hate. Now, we celebrate as another is met with urine. Rest in piss. Oh yes, rest on everlasting piss oh weak tyrant pigs

THAT IS EXACTLY WHY THE CHARGED HIM WITH FELONIES, because he did nothing wrong. They were hoping that he would plead out, which means admitting guilt, in order to avoid a possible decades-long prison sentence. That way, because he would be admitting to something he didn't do, his guilty plea would prevent them from getting sued for brutality and violating his rights. It needs to be pointed out THAT THE PROSECUTORS WHO BROUGHT THOSE CHARGES ARE JUST AS COMPLICIT AND SHOULD BE CHARGED ALONG WITH THE POLICE OFFICERS. Also, all government officials who are convicted of gross violations should be subject to PERSONAL DAMAGES, including fines and jail time.

Best defense is a strong offense. I thought trials including accused police misconduct were supposed to be held in a different court system with district attorneys that don't have a predicated relationship with local police. 4 or 5 officers in a town like this was what half the police force a third?

As he took a knee to look (with a can of beer in his right hand) he heard some yelling, then a large growling dog approached him, then two men in dark appeared with a gun and shot him.... luckily it was a taser. They took him to jail where he stayed Friday, Saturday and Sunday night because he did not know he could make a phone call. They took him to court on Monday and he still did not know why. After court he was able to call me to say he way in jail. OH MY GOSH!! Asked him why but he said that he just got the police report and would call me to let me know after he read it. So what happened was the police were running (up our hill) trying to find a suspect who earlier ran from them. In the report they said they saw the suspect crouched behind a "hulk" auto. I guess they don't know a classic vintage auto. And further they spotted what they thought was a gun in the suspect's hand (the beer can). So they tased and cuffed. Anyway, the attorney I hired said he should take the plea because a jury would likely not go against what the police had to say.... which was, they tased because my son did not raise his hands fast enough. It too had major effects on my son's life. He was in the middle of getting his degree and put him behind. Later he was stopped by police but tried to run to a camera location.... and was further charged. Long story anyway, but lots of PTSD and effects that make him unemployable. At least he finished his college degree. He says he cannot be near an officer because he gets very upset and thinks they will arrest him because he looks nervous.

The system is a real corrupt piece of garbage. I still have PTSD to this day thanks to abusive cops. I'm glad I'm out of the country and out of harm's way.

When guys like him snap and kill police... I don't hold it against them... I'm not saying it's right... but I understand.

Said to hear that especially from the most free country in the world. You should do something with it.

@@ccfc6523 Thank you. Wish I knew what to do. I would do anything, pay any price to get him back to the way he was.
