“It is not a secret burial ground,” she said. "In those graves are the bodies of those who went unclaimed by family when they died. These persons are either homeless people, inmates from local jails who died but relatives never claimed their bodies,
I will now claim that more than 80 per cent will …not white. I will also claim that the process for notifying family members was less than diligent.
“The accident was investigated and it was determined that it was in fact an accident and that there was no malicious intent,” Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba [said last October].
Andf you will now be billed for repairs to the patrol car.
Hours after the Ouray County Plaindealer published a story detailing the alleged violent sexual assault of a teenage girl at the Ouray police chief’s house, someone stole hundreds of copies out of nearly every newspaper rack across the county, publishers say.
This one is a bit complicated, but terrifying.
-The LAPD allegedly received a swatting 911 call for a BLM activist.
-She claims the officers used the incident to harass her for her BLM activities, and sues the department.
-LAPD makes up an apparently bogus claim to get a search warrant for her lawyer’s home, and then ransack it, taking pictures of his case file on the case against the department.
-When a judge orders the LAPD to produce the warrant they allegedly have to search the lawyer’s house, they can’t or won’t produce it. Judge orders the photographs and files they took from his house destroyed. LAPD has failed to acknowledged that it complied with the order.
While this isn’t a “cop bashes man head in” incident, it’s really shows the length a department will go through to try to avoid any accountability.
Not to get too into the weeds, but the police were allegedly at the home on a search warrant to look for a person. How that justifies opening a safe or filing cabinets is hard for me to imagine.
No, I think I get it. Assuming you have an actual warrant (which in this case they could not produce for the judge to look at) to search for a person in a location, and it becomes obvious that the person is not currently there but possibly may have been, you could suggest that there might be a receipt for a bus ticket or hotel room which would give detectives a trail.
Naturally, if the filing cabinet is not locked, apparently it must be opened with a crowbar, cutting torch and/or sledgehammer.
When are people going to learn that calling the police for help with someone who isn’t white…things will not go well.
Last week someone called the police to make a wellness check on his neighbor who hadn’t been seen for a week. The neighbor was just fine until the Phoenix police showed up and killed him for the sin of walking away.
Under the actual, you know, law, if the police are going to search for things like receipts, those need to be listed on the warrant. And they usually are. But if the warrant just says they’re looking for a person, then that’s all they’re allowed to search for, and can’t look anywhere that a person couldn’t be.
But why would the police be concerned about that? It’s only the law, after all.
Regarding the missing warrant - If it ever existed, a copy of the warrant and the original affidavit in support of it, should be on file with the Court. At least, that’s we did it in NJ. If they made the whole thing up, someone should be going to jail. That would be corruption on a massive scale. Also, you can only look for the items named in the warrant where they could physically fit.
