EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (KMOV.com) – Police have identified a suspect in the Tuesday night attempted murder of a trooper in East St. Louis, according to the Illinois State Police. Charges and warrants were issued Wednesday for 52-year-old Gregory K. Nelson of East St. Louis.
The St. Clair County EMA tweeted that police were fired at while on Interstate 255 near State Street around 11:30 Tuesday night.
According to officers at the shooting scene, the incident began when a trooper with the Illinois State Police pulled over Nelson for a suspected DUI. Nelson then reportedly exited his vehicle and had a conversation with the trooper before firing his weapon. (more…)
An “accidental” self-induced injury stemming from Freddie Gray standing, not being seat-belted; and as a consequence of the van moving/stopping, Freddie Gray impacting the wall of the transport van. Also including the presence of opiates and cannabinoid within his toxicology report.
The Baltimore Sun has obtained the Freddie Gray Autopsy, and in an article today outline the Asst ME, Carol H Allen, determined:
(Via Baltimore Sun) […] Though Gray was loaded into the van on his belly, the medical examiner surmised that he may have gotten to his feet and was thrown into the wall during an abrupt change in direction. He was not belted in, but his wrists and ankles were shackled, making him “at risk for an unsupported fall during acceleration or deceleration of the van.”
[…] The autopsy report was completed April 30, the day before State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced criminal charges against the officers. The autopsy has not been made public, and the deadline for releasing evidence in the case to defense lawyers is Friday. A copy of the autopsy was obtained and verified by sources who requested anonymity because of the high-profile nature of the case.
Mosby’s office and the state medical examiner declined to comment. (more…)
The first manifesto was delivered to the media a month before Charleston. This manifesto was similarly filled with anger, bitterness, hatred and open threats of violence. However, no-one paid any attention to it. Why?
In May a racist named Eric Sheppard Jr wrote a 1,500+ word racist manifesto with promises of violence toward his community in Georgia.
[…] “THIS IS INDEED A CALL TO ACTION FOR EVERY AFRIKAN REVOLUTIONARY ON THE PLANET TO KILL ALL WHITE DEVILS AND RECLAIM YOUR RIGHTFUL POSITION AS RIGHTEOUS RULERS”.. (link)
The Valdosta Daily Times even published the manifesto complete with video from Sheppard outlining his threats and intentions, but no-one seemed to care.
[…] Sheppard stated he will “annihilate” anyone who comes after him and issued what appears to be threats of violence at Saturday’s graduation ceremonies at Lowndes High School.
The comments were made in a rambling, profanity-laced “memorandum ultimatum” sent to The Valdosta Daily Times condemning white people and local police.
A brief video showing Sheppard wearing sun glasses and inside what appeared to be an SUV accompanied his statement. (link)
The national airwaves were not filled with outrage, disgust or broadcasted conversations about racism. Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper and Sonny Hostin didn’t fly to Georgia, even after the FBI and U.S. Marshal’s office substantiated the threats. (more…)
Last week the professionally aggrieved began a campaign against the Louisville Kentucky police department after a deranged man attacked a police officer with a flag pole, and was shot and killed.
The professional agitators began using the same antagonistic activist messaging, “F**k the Police”, as previously used in Ferguson, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Madison, New York, Charlottesville and McKinney, Texas. The Louisville Kentucky police had enough, and the Fraternal Order of Police penned an open letter to the public:
[scribd id=269092451 key=key-g8SDOD6W4jCE6LZ01QJI mode=scroll]
Now that letter has put the FOP in the crosshairs of the Black Grievance Community and the professionally aggrieved, “Ferguson 2 Louisville”.
(Via WDRB) Many activists and community leaders are taking action after last week’s strongly worded letter from the president of the Fraternal Order of Police.
The letter written to the public by FOP President Dave Mutchler has sparked so much controversy that a protest, community meeting, and a public forum are all planned Monday. (more…)
Judge Williams prosecuted cases as an assistant state’s attorney for Baltimore City from 1989 until 1997. In 1997, he joined the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice where he served as a trial attorney until 2002, and as special litigation counsel from 2002 to 2005. (link)
Trial date Oct. 13, 2015, with motions hearings scheduled for Sept. 2nd.
(Via Baltimore Sun) Judge Barry G. Williams, a former city prosecutor and civil rights litigator with a no-nonsense reputation, will preside over the high-profile criminal cases against six Baltimore police officers indicted in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray..
Williams’ appointment Monday came as each of the officers asked for a jury trial and entered not-guilty pleas in writing — a legal maneuver that allows them to avoid appearing at court arraignments that had been scheduled for next week.
“We look forward to trying this case before Judge Williams,” Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby said in a statement. “The defendants have all entered not guilty pleas, which is their right. All defendants in this case are presumed innocent, until, or unless they are found guilty.” (more…)
We first heard about this last week amid chatter in social media, and thanks to a link from Nivico it is now apparently confirmed – Tamir Rice’s mom, Samaria Rice, has fired Benjamin Crump as the family attorney in Cleveland.
From a local CLEVELAND article:
[…] Before the rally, Samaria Rice told Northeast Ohio Media Group that she is no longer being represented by attorneys Benjamin Crump and Walter Madison. She dropped Crump and Madison last week and retained New York lawyers Jonathan Abady and Earl Ward, her third pair of lawyers since Tamir was killed.
“I wanted to make sure Tamir’s interests were put first,” she said. “I want the best representation for Tamir and myself. I needed to be able to sleep comfortably at night without wondering if someone was making decisions without my knowledge.”
There may have been a time when a discussion about racial issues was possible, but that window of opportunity quickly passed when the professional left decided to double down on division with a professional community organizer.
The professionally black have a vested ideological and financial interest in the retention of grievance. No amount of discussion will overcome or quench the institutional need to be perpetually aggrieved. (Apropos photo-credit Charleston, SC via CBS)
We can agree the shooting in Charleston South Carolina was a hate crime; we can even concede that it might be called terrorism – but that will never change the inherent one-sided nature of the conversation.
Call it whatever you want to call it. Hate Crimes, domestic racial terrorism, it really doesn’t matter. If the labels apply for a white person to intentionally kill a black person solely due to the color of their skin. Then what exactly is this: (more…)
Earlier this week the professionally aggrieved began a campaign against the Louisville Kentucky police department after a deranged man attacked a police officer with a flag pole, and was shot and killed.
The professional agitators began using the same antagonistic activist messaging, “F**k the Police”, as previously used in Ferguson, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Madison, New York, Charlottesville and McKinney, Texas.
The Louisville Kentucky police have had enough. They pen an open letter to the public:
Cincinnati Ohio – Videos showing a chaotic scene between guests and police last week at the Fairfield Aquatic Center continue to fuel debate over what happened before and during the confrontation that led to four arrests and allegations of officers exhibiting excessive use of force. (Original report video below)
Police arrested two adults — Krystal Dixon and Maya Dixon — and two children on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after a large fight June 9 at the city-owned pool on Augusta Boulevard. They said the four refused to leave.
Attorney Clyde Bennett, who represented both women at their arraignment Wednesday, said his clients did nothing wrong and that charges against them should be dismissed.
Both women have faced charges of disorderly conduct and/or resisting arrest in other courts, according to records obtained by the Journal-News. (more…)
