A Grand Jury in Portsmouth, Virginia has reportedly agreed to indict now former officer Stephen Rankin on charges of first-degree murder and using a gun in a felony. 18 year old William Chapman was shot in the head & chest, outside of a Portsmouth, Virginia WalMart on back on April 22nd 2015. The Police Report alleged that he and Overseer Stephen Rankin got into a scuffle, and that Chapman came forward in an aggressive way toward the officer-resulting in him being shot twice. However, autopsy reports would eventually confirm that Chapman "showed no signs of a close-range shot, indicating that he was shot from several feet away." Chapman had been accused of shoplifting, but the autopsy report also showed that his pockets were turned inside out to show that he had not stolen anything. Overseer Rankin previously got away with the 2011 murder of Kirill Denyakin in 2011. eerily similar, he claimed that Denyakin charged toward him too-before shooting him 11 times. Let's follow this & see how the trial goes. As we all should know by now, charges don't necessarily mean conviction.

In what has been allowed to become an all too common trend, the mainstream media has largely moved on from talking about #WhatHappenedToSandraBland. But let us remember that this can only happen if WE allow it to happen. Challenge your media and elected officials to keep looking into what happened to Our Fallen Sister. Of all of the possible true causes of death, few really believe that this 28 Year Old Naperville, Illinois resident, that had just found a new job, killed herself. Maybe she was injured when Texas state trooper Brian Encinia viciously slammed her to the ground, and officials failed to recognize the need for medical care. On the video, sometime after the 12 minute mark, she cries out about having been slammed on her head & also that she had Epilepsy! Maybe they outright lynched her in her jail cell! What we do know is that:
While The city of Cleveland, Ohio continues to protect Cops involved in the outright EXECUTION of its Black & Brown population, it at least appears that The City of Cincinnati is seeking to take a more proactive approach. After initially refusing to release Body Camera video from the traffic stop that led to the MURDER of 43-Year-Old Samuel DuBose, officials have taken an about face in not only releasing the video, but announcing that 25-year-old officer Raymond Tensing has been charged with Murder & Voluntary Manslaughter. One must note that Tensing is a University Of Cincinnati Campus Police Officer, and not part of The Cincinnati Police Department (wondering aloud if they would have treated this crisis any differently). Tensing's Incident Report followed the usual pattern of verbiage designed to justify the execution of Our People; but we can all see from the Body Camera Video that this pig was neither dragged by Samuel DuBose's car-nor was there any form of aggression from him. This overseer was NEVER in danger, and there were other means of handling the situation. In announcing the indictment, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters noted that, even if DuBose was going to attempt to drive off, the officer had his license plate and other options would have been available to apprehend him. Deters also noted that any signs of a struggle came solely from Overseer Tensing falling after shooting Sam duBose in the head. To be clear, DuBose was pulled over because the car he was driving did not have a license plate on the front of the car, DuBose peacefully complied & communicated during the stop, and even handed over a CLOSED liquor bottle to the Overseer. Less than two minutes after being approached, Samuel DuBose was dead. IF convicted Raymond Tensing could face Life in Prison. Cincinnati has a long history of Police Misconduct, and is not far removed from The 2001 Riots that broke out after a white officer (Stephen Roach) was seen shooting an unarmed 19-year-old Timothy Thomas. So far this year, there have been 550 documented cases in which police officers have shot & killed a citizen. while many may have been justified, we can NEVER stop fighting in the memory of those that were clear EXECUTIONS! #WalterScott, #EricHarris #EricGarner #SandraBland #MikeBrown #OscarGrant #SeanBell #AmadouDiallo #TimothyRussell #Malissa Williams #PhillippeHolland #JohnCrawford #TamirRice And So Many More... A lawsuit filed by The Los Angeles Times, in association with The AP & Bloomberg News, has led to the release of previously suppressed video of Gardenia California Police Officers Christopher Mendez, Christopher Sanderson and Matthew Toda shoot three unarmed men. The incident occurred on June 2, 2013, and resulted in the death of 34 Year Old Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino. Police Officials were initially successful in burying away the dash-cam footage, but Federal Judge Stephen V. Wilson stepped in to ensure that the world sees this horrific use of Unnecessary & Excessive Force! Unfortunately the officers involved were NEVER disciplined, and are still on the force right to this very day. Their excuse was of course that they thought that Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino was going for a weapon. Furthermore, they blamed the 911 Dispatcher for allegedly reporting that a robbery had occurred. The men involved were actually looking for a bike that had been stolen from Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino's younger brother, but instead they became the suspects. Admittedly drunk, and dealing with a language barrier, still should never result in anyone's death by supposedly trained professionals. The video posted below clearly shows that none of the men were defiant or aggressive in any way. However you can see one of the officers cock back his weapon just prior to opening fire. The City of Gardenia agreed to pay out a settlement of $4.7 million dollars to Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino's Family-plus another bystander who was also shot. But still, some agent for The White Supremacist Power Structure will argue that these men somehow deserved to be shot at, and Our President will say little to nothing of substance in regard to these happenings... #FTP http://heavy.com/news/2015/07/ricardo-diaz-zeferino-video-shot-killed-gardena-california-police-shooting-victim-2013-unarmed-officers-lawsuit-judge-release-dash-camera-footage-mendez-cuff-sanderson-toda/ Just shortly after midnight, on March 3, 1991, George Holliday woke up to the sounds of police helicopters and squad car sirens. Upon getting up to see what was going on, Holliday unwittingly found himself walking into history. What he saw was a group of Los Angeles Police Officers savagely beatings a Black Man that would later be revealed to be Rodney King. Presumably shocked, George Holliday pulled out his recently purchased camcorder and began filming what he saw. According to multiple sources, Holliday called the police seeking information as to what crime Rodney King could have committed, to warrant such treatment, but was given nothing. Sometime shortly thereafter he advised a local television station of what he had on tape, but was advised to just leave his tape and he would call him later. That evening the video was aired, and rocked the entire world. FINALLY, there was PROOF of the shear Brutality and Misconduct that Black & Brown People had been suffering from all over the country!!! We all know what happened from there. A rigged Simi Valley (the trial was moved from L.A.) jury failed to convict Stacey Koon, Laurence Powell, Timothy Wind, Theodore Briseno & the 1992 L.A. Riots were sparked. Eventually Officer Laurence Powell and Sergeant Stacey Koon would spend a few minutes in jail on Federal charges. The other two pigs were acquitted. The city would agree to pay out a $3.8 million dollar settlement to Rodney King. Rodney King died in 2012, from what I believe to be shady circumstances. George Holliday was never paid one dime for his video. Without him possibly no one else thinks to press record & document what happened to Oscar Grant, Eric Garner, walter scott, or the many other incidents caught on camera since 1992. #salute |
