White Cop Uses Excessive Force Against Black Female Student & the US Justice Department

This is an update on the case of a young, Black teenage female being turned over and dropped out of her chair, drug across the floor and arrested; violating the department’s policy as well as his oath as a cop. I don’t need to add this happened because he knew he could get away with it because the teenage girl is Black. That is sick, sad and heartbreaking as well as enraging but it is true. If this happened to a blonde, blue eyed white girl the entire situation would have gone down differently, she would have just been acting her age and I don’t believe the cops would have ever been called. But I digress, now that you know my personal view on that I want to talk about what the U.S. Justice Department decided after 2 years of apparent searching for a way out.

The lengths America’s government will go to in order to ensure police don’t go to jail or receive any punishment is absolutely astounding. They are allowed to use the stupidest excuses; and this one took 2 years for them to find- you’d think they’d have come up with a better “loophole” than they did. What’s especially surprising in this case from 2015 is the 2 years it took for the U.S. Justice Department to come up with such a flimsy excuse for a cops abuse.

After 2 years the prosecution realized suddenly, hey, this case isn’t in our jurisdiction because it was a mistake not an intentional violation of civil rights! Yeah, let that soak in. Let’s explore that and go a bit deeper.

racism-and-copsA cell phone & a teenage girl refuses to give up her cell phone, then she refuses to get out of her seat, after school officials allegedly, “plead” with her to get up -allegedly. I just want to add, she was a teen acting as many of us would have, too. Imagine her your child. I can say had I had a cell phone in school I would have behaved similarly. I note this because teenagers are teenagers…she did no wrong and anyone who thinks that way doesn’t belong on my page.

Additionally, the teenage female was also accused of “verbally challenging” an officer; all she did was tell him what he was doing was wrong, I might add. It finally led to the cop saying she hit him, but the aprox 15 witnesses say as she was being drug across the room she was throwing her arms about. I would assume she was trying to gain balance or her grounding, I don’t know nor does it matter as it would be terrifying to be flipped out of your chair by a cop, then drug across the floor violently.

Police in Oregon Continue to Abuse… Latest Story of Pointless Arrest.

Original article can be found at the end of this post. My goal for this page is obviously to write as much as possible, but also to spread as much news as possible. When something is already brilliantly written, I tend to simply repost with credits.

Two weeks after a Gresham police officer snatched a camera phone from a woman recording him, another Gresham police officer arrested a woman for recording him before turning on a man who happened to be recording that arrest.

This time it was an officer Brooder  who is under the impression that  citizens are not allowed to audio record him without his permission.

But Brooder is highly misinformed because Oregon is a one-party consent state when it comes to the wiretapping law, meaning as long as somebody is part of a conversation, they are allowed to record whether the other person is informed or not.

Even if it was a two-party consent state, he still wouldn’t have a say in the matter because he did not have an expectation of privacy as he stood outside an apartment complex.

But considering how the local media gave the Gresham Police Department a free pass on the issue during the last month’s incident, it is not surprising that Brooder thinks he can create his own laws.

It all started when Brooder and other officers responded to a call from a woman in the apartment complex complaining about a neighbor who had threatened her. Continue reading Police in Oregon Continue to Abuse… Latest Story of Pointless Arrest.
