Idaho Falls Police Crash a Backyard Birthday Party

Posted on by

“Alissa’s husband Victor, a naturalized citizen from the Dominican Republic, expressed frustration about getting a citation for ‘disturbing the peace.’ Officer Clark Lund snottily replied: ‘If you don’t like it, you know how to leave.’ Seconds later, for no identifiable reason, Lund barged into the house, then tasered Victor and his brother, Delosanto after shoving a pregnant woman to the floor and threatening a young mother who was holding a baby. Another officer shoved a 79-year-old grandmother. Two officers responding to Lund’s call for aid invaded a neighbor’s home with guns drawn. At least 11 police cars arrived, closing down the entire block.”

Neighbor Gets Tased While Cops Investigate Suicide Attempt

Posted on by

police_misconduct_header116

“The Blondins got within about 37 feet of the scene, heard Jack moaning and saw him pinned on the ground. Donald Blondin said, ‘What are you doing to Jack?’ and faced a barrage of orders to get back. When he didn’t move, or didn’t move enough, Sgt. Jeff Shelton rushed him with Taser drawn.  A witness said that Blondin seemed to be ‘frozen with fear.’ Shelton warned Blondin that he was about to be Tased, but fired before he finished saying it, according to the ruling.  The lower court threw out the Blondins’ lawsuit, saying the officer was ‘immune’ from suit in these circumstances.”

Officer convicted of assault after shooting and killing man and his dog

Posted on by

“Virgillo’s version of events had Chrisman barging into the trailer after Rodriguez had asked for a warrant, with Chrisman putting his weapon to Rodriguez’s head and responding that the gun served as his warrant.  Rodriguez’s mother, Elvira Fernandez, took the witness stand when jurors were asked to determine whether Chrisman’s decision to point a gun at the head of Rodriguez caused emotional distress for Rodriguez’s family. Fernandez was moved to tears as she described her guilt over calling police that afternoon to report that her son had thrown something against the wall of their trailer and scared her, telling jurors that she thinks every day of her decision to call police.”

Aide To Mentally Handicapped Man Murdered By Police Speaks Out

Posted on by

“It happened after three deputies removed him from a Frederick movie theater for not having a $12 ticket. Ethan’s aide who was with him that night shared her story only with WUSA9’s, Debra Alfarone.  She says when she heard that Ethan had died, ‘I just started crying.’  She says she’s done so many more times since that fateful January night. She asked that we not identify her, nor show her face on camera. She is 18, and was Ethan Saylor’s aide for the last 3 months of his life. Now, hers will never be the same.  Today, she joined the Saylor family as they delivered 340,000 signatures to Governor Martin O’Malley, asking for an independent investigation into his death,”

Cops pepper-sprayed and arrested man as his teen daughter died

Posted on by

“A Missouri man insists he did nothing to deserve being pepper-sprayed and arrested the night his teenage daughter shot herself.  Kevin Russell, of Joplin, said he won’t accept an offer to plead guilty to assault because he doesn’t want to admit he did anything wrong when he screamed at emergency crews tending to his 16-year-old daughter, Brooke.  Russell and his son, 19-year-old Brant, found the girl unconscious from a single gunshot wound to the head in a park near their home, and they loaded her into their car and met an ambulance at the police department. ”

“The wife of a Belleville man who was shot two dozen times by police and killed in his family’s apartment after a domestic dispute in July plans to file a multimillion-dollar wrongful death suit against the town’s police department, according to court papers.  Belleville police used excessive force and violated Dante Cespedes’ civil rights when they opened fire inside the family’s apartment on July 9, according to a notice of claim filed in Superior Court in Newark last week.  Prosecutors have said Cespedes lunged at the officers with knives.”

Theaters brace for new federal rules on accommodating blind, deaf

Posted on by

“Movie-house owners — as well as disability advocates — are anxiously awaiting the release of an Obama administration proposal that would require theaters to install expensive technology so deaf and blind patrons can enjoy their films.  Theater owners — particularly those with small, independent houses — say they cannot afford the technology shift which starts with converting to digital cinema. The cost of that is about $70,000 per screen, though most theaters have already gone digital. Theaters then would have to purchase the headsets that narrate films for the blind and glasses that provide the closed-captioning for the deaf, at an additional cost.”

FEMA Grounds Private Drones Helping To Map Floods, Threatens Arrests

Posted on by

techdirt1

“Boulder, Colorado has been hit by massive flooding over the past week, and it’s been something of a mess. A local company, Falcon UAV, makers of special drones which are built for the government, approved by the FAA, and specialize in using GPS and cameras to generate highly accurate maps, started helping to map the damage with those drones. It was basically making very useful, near real-time maps showing the floods. You’d think that would be useful to, say, FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency in charge of helping to coordinate the response to the floods. Instead, FEMA ordered the drones grounded or it would have people from Falcon UAV arrested.”

Cop fired 12 shots, hit unarmed man 10 times, Charlotte police say

Posted on by

“Jonathon Ferrell, a 24-year-old North Carolina man, suffered a severe late-night car crash. His car slipped into a ravine. He had to kick his way out the back windshield. He managed to get out of the car and go to a nearby home, where he knocked on the door repeatedly for help. When police arrived, he approached them — and one shot him repeatedly, killing him on the spot. Now the officer is charged with manslaughter. Police say he had no cause to shoot Ferrell.”
