It's horrifying, but I'd urge you to watch it, and to send it to the drug warriors in your life. This is the blunt-end result of all the war imagery and militaristic rhetoric politicians have been spewing for the last 30 years—cops dressed like soldiers, barreling through the front door middle of the night, slaughtering the family pets, filling the house with bullets in the presence of children, then having the audacity to charge the parents with endangering their own kid. There are 100-150 of these raids every day in America, the vast, vast majority like this one, to serve a warrant for a consensual crime.

The drug enforcement business - including private for-profit prisons - is big business. I'd say the draconian drug laws have more to do with that than anything else.

cops use a tazer on a man threatening to jump off a bridge, and... he falls off the bridge.

Good job, guys. </sarcasm>

I think the lesson is "Don't ask for it"..See above, and below..

http://usamediablog.blogspot.com/2005_0 ... chive.html

Four co-defendants who pled guilty to participating in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana in Boone County will be sentenced: Joseph Blair Nardi (Columbia, MO, 10 a.m.), Jonathan Eric Whitworth (Columbia, MO, 11 a.m.), David Scott Steinbruegge (St. Peters, MO, 1 p.m.), and Robertson Blake Alexander (Columbia, MO, 2 p.m.)

Neighbors witness 6-car accident in their front yard
Friday, February 29, 2008 | 6:48 p.m. CST

This van is one of six vehicles that was hit early Friday on Southampton Drive. ¦ JANE KELLOGG BY JANE KELLOGG
COLUMBIA — Neighbors Kevin Roberts and Jamie Nickels were startled early Friday morning when a motorist crashed his pickup truck into several cars parked in the shared driveway of their duplex on Southampton Drive.

In the end, six cars were damaged and a man was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident.

Nickels, of 732 Southampton Drive, woke around 1 a.m. to the sound of a car crashing outside her home. She said she rushed outside to find Roberts’ car a few feet from her front door, having apparently been pushed there after the truck crashed into a van in the driveway and pushed it into Roberts’ car.

Roberts was getting ready to take his dog out before going to bed when he heard the crash. “When I heard it, I rushed outside and came out right about the same time my neighbor did,” he said.

Roberts said he was outside in time to see a Ford F-250 truck back into another vehicle parked on the property and drive over the gravel driveway partition.

In the process, the van, which had been thrown several feet across the lawn, was pushed into another car, Roberts said. Still another car was pushed into a tree at the northwest corner of Roberts’ home, he said.

By then, the truck was trapped on the driveway by three of the damaged cars.

Roberts said his primary concern immediately after the accident was finding out if the driver was OK.

“We asked him to stop, and he said, ‘F— you’ before hitting two more cars,” Roberts said.

The driver pushed his way between two of the cars to get back onto the street and sped away, leaving skid marks on the grass, Roberts said.

“Our lawn basically looks like one giant pool table with cars instead of balls,” Roberts said.

Jonathan Eric Whitworth, 23, of 1501 Kinloch Court, was arrested at 2:40 a.m. Friday at his home on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, operating a motor vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner, leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident and duty to maintain financial responsibility. He was released from the Boone County Jail on $5,000 bail at 8:44 a.m.

In October 2004, Whitworth pleaded guilty to and was convicted of driving while intoxicated, according to court documents. He was on probation for two years.

Roberts said that although the ordeal seemed to last forever, the driver was not on the property for more than five minutes.

Nickels, who said she has lived in the duplex only three months, was surprised by one positive outcome.

“It’s funny how this ended up bringing the neighbors together,” she said.

Yeah, this is ridiculous indeed. I remember some guy in Ohio who had his house, boat, cash, etc. taken away to never be returned, but I can't remember if he was found guilty or not. Honestly, if the police are going to confiscate legitimate gains from illegal activities, the least they could do is use that to donate to the victims of said alleged activities.

watch the time marker. the reporter says the motorcycles took off "at a high rate of speed." it took them almost 5 seconds to clear the intersection. that's not fast *at all.* i also can't really tell if the cop car is going faster in the pursuit than it is when he was just following them.

the cop shot the guy 7 seconds after stopping the car.

go to your car. put it in park, unfasten your seat belt, open the door, and pull a "gun" from your belt. how long did that take you? i'm not lightning quick, but it takes me about 4-5 seconds, which would've left 2-3 seconds to decide to use deadly force.

also, he followed them for almost 4 minutes before turning on his flashers AND there was another cop car there to intercept less than 15 seconds after he turned on his flashers. something's missing in this story. did the cop run one of their plates and have it come up with a warrant? if so, what for and did that color the cop's judgment to use deadly force?

fyi: ottawa hills is a rich suburb of toledo and their cops are notoriously shitty to anybody who looks young and/or poor.

also, it's not super easy to show your hands in a split second when you're sitting on a motorcycle. you kinda need your hands for stuff. Or hear what you're being told when there's a siren blaring.

http://toledoblade.com/article/20100514 ... /COLUMNIST

this dude's recounting of what it was like to instantly know he was paralyzed with a heavy motorcycle stuck on him and leaking gas is pretty awful.

The trial video made it sound like the cop feared the man was drawing a weapon. I realize this is an easy armchair call, but it looks to me a lot more like the guy was turning around just to see what was going on.

yep.

Quote:
He also testified that he believed the movement Mr. McCloskey made when turning around could not be perceived as "targeting" the officer - as was testified by defense witnesses - but instead was an obvious "inquiry glance" made to determine what was going on.

"If someone can't hear you, it's an obvious reaction [to turn around] to try to get some eye contact," he said. "That's obvious. That's the reason why we say turn off the siren."

He further testified that the command Officer White gave to Mr. McCloskey was not, "Put your hands up," as Officer White testified, but instead, through his review of the video, he determined it to be, "Get down."

"That is a command that he can't obey," he said.

A fifth deputy put Booker in a headlock just as the female deputy began shocking him with a Taser with encouragement from one of the deputies, who kept repeating, "Probe his ---," Maten said. He could hear the Taser crackle repeatedly.

Booker said, "'I can't breath . . .," Yedo heard. Then, Booker went limp.

Booker's wrists were handcuffed behind his back in an awkward position when the deputies picked him up, each holding an arm or a leg, and carried him stomach-down to a holding cell with an unbreakable glass door.

They set him down on his stomach, with much of his weight on one shoulder and his legs bent, Yedo said. They took the handcuffs off and without checking his pulse, the officers left him on the floor of the holding cell.

The deputies walked away high-fiving and laughing, Maten said. Several inmates were saying, " 'I can't believe they're doing this,' " Maten said.
