Officer Of The Damn Law (PBWW Channel)

Ta'Naja Barnes' father, Dartavius Barnes, found his daughter unresponsive in her home and she would later be pronounced dead in a Decatur, Illinois hospital. In a lawsuit filed by Barnes against the City of Springfield, he was unlawfully detained on April 6, 2020, and during this unlawful detainment, he was searched by police. During this search without consent, police removed the sealed micro-urn from Barnes' vehicle that contained the ashes of his murdered daughter, unsealed it, opened it, and spilled his daughter out on the ground. In the incident report, an officer wrote, "I have seen similar items like this before utilized to contain narcotics" The officer then tells Barnes that his daughter's ashes tested positive for meth or ecstasy and told him he was under arrest. In Illinois, it is not illegal to have marijuana on your person as they voted to legalize it recreationally in 2019.

Izell Richardson, 67, accidentally locked himself out of his home and had to break a window to get back in. His sister, who lives in the home, didn't realize it was her brother trying to get in, so, she called the police. Richardson was in his underwear and was not breaking into his own home. He was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police cruiser. Richardson screamed for help as the officer threatened him with a taser and repeatedly hit him with it.

Eric Derrell Smith, 30, was killed after a police chase ended in Biloxi, Mississippi. He was wanted in connection with the deaths of Christin Parker, 32, and her nephew Brandon Parker, 26, in Baker, Louisiana.

Smith did fire a shot during the chase but it was later revealed it was an hour before the pursuit ended.

A 13-year-old boy was asleep in the backyard when he was attacked by a police K-9. The boy was wrongly accused of being involved in car theft. The Cedar Rapids police department was slapped with a lawsuit this week by the boy's mother. The attack unfolded on August 12, 2020, and was captured on police body cameras. The lawsuit asserts excessive force was used by officers involved in the arrest, as well as K- 9 officer Nathan Trimble and his canine partner, and that there was negligence in police canine training and racial discrimination that amounted to reckless disregard for the rights and safety of others, including the boy, according to the lawsuit.

Two melanin men were assaulted with deadly weapons, forced to crawl on the ground, and nearly shot by police. One of the men, who goes by the handle Riskie_e on Tik-Tok, happened to be filming with his Go-Pro camera at the time of the stop. The two young men were wearing Go-Pros, holding grocery bags, riding expensive bicycles with highly reflective gear and neon lights. "You fit the description," one of the cops can be heard saying in the video. "We ain't do nothing," Riskie yelled. "I'm saying you got your guns drawn and we ain't done nothing." The two men were told why they were being held at gunpoint and humiliated by cops. The video has since gone viral and received more than 1 million views on YouTube. The men were stopped by a police cruiser parked in front of their home after robbing a couple earlier that night. The police officer accused the pair of robbing a couple of robbing couples earlier that day.

Cariol Horne was fired from the Buffalo Police Department in 2006 after she stopped a fellow officer from choking a handcuffed suspect. Horne has been fighting for 15 years to get her pension. On Tuesday, a state judge vacated an earlier ruling that affirmed her firing. The decision was prompted by the police killing of George Floyd, who was shot and killed by police in 2020. The city of Buffalo is now considering a law that would force officers to intervene if they see another officer using excessive force. It's unclear how many days Horne would need to work to regain her pension, however. "My vindication comes at a 15-year cost, but what has been gained can not be measured," Horne said after the ruling. "I never wanted another police officer to go through what I had gone through to do the right thing," she told the NY Times. The judge ruled that Horne would get her back pay and benefits, and granted her the back pay she had been denied.

Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario was on his way home from a long day of work at his duty station last December when he was targeted by some very bad apples for revenue collection.

In February, 17-year-old Maliyah Clary had permission to be driving her mother’s car and had the permit to try and do so. However, she allegedly made some driving errors a pair of blocks aloof from her house so officers with the River Rouge department of local government targeted her for a traffic stop.

A tragedy unfolded in 2019 in Houston, Texas when a Baytown law officer approached a lady, 44-year-old Pamela Turner, and killed her. Turner’s last words before she was shot five times by the officer were “I’m pregnant.” Now, nearly two years later, the family has filed a death lawsuit against the town and also the officer in judicature.

In one in every of the foremost egregious acts of ignorance, violence, and racialism we’ve ever seen from police, an innocent Melanin man was assaulted at his home and kidnapped for fitting the outline of a suspect. The suspect was a Caucasian.
