Police Violence – Melanoid Nation Foundation https://www.melanoidnation.org Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:40:35 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.20 Sheriff Blames Black Girl Victim For The Firing Of Ben Fields https://www.melanoidnation.org/sheriff-blames-black-girl-victim-for-the-firing-of-ben-fields/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/sheriff-blames-black-girl-victim-for-the-firing-of-ben-fields/#comments Wed, 28 Oct 2015 19:07:38 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2819 COLUMBIA, S.C. — It has been announced this morning that Ben Fields, the white cop who assaulted the Black teenage girl in Spring Valley High School, has been fired.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott spoke at a news conference in which he addressed the incident. According to the video in this link, Lott says that Fields has been placed on suspension without pay, and that he has asked the FBI to look into the investigation. He says that the student was “disruptive”, and that “she started” the confrontation with Fields.

Although Fields has held an extensive reputation for being a race soldier in the past, it has been revealed–or contrived–out of nowhere that he has been dating a Black woman “for quite some time”, according to Lott.

Many suspected white supremacists and Black supporters of Ben Fields say that the race soldier had every right to act in the way that he did because the young girl provoked him to use brute force against her. However, new information has surfaced which should have us questioning the supporters of Fields. The photo below is a screenshot of a social media post which delves into the personal life of the child who was beat up by the cop on Monday:

It appears to be likely that this young girl was simply “acting out” in class on Monday because of a tumultuous year which has inflicted enormous emotional and psychological damage on her. It is well-known that victims–especially children–who suffer from such trauma usually engage in what’s known as “rambunctious” behavior because they often are unable to cope with everything that has happened to them.

One-Legged Homeless Black Man Brutalized By San Francisco Police https://www.melanoidnation.org/one-legged-homeless-black-man-brutalized-by-san-francisco-police/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/one-legged-homeless-black-man-brutalized-by-san-francisco-police/#comments Mon, 28 Sep 2015 19:57:49 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2584 It took 14 San Francisco Police Department officers to take down and restrain a one-legged, Black homeless man, who was “armed” with crutches and apparently “dangerous”. The incident is the latest embarrassment for the US police, who face constant accusations of illogical brutal use of force.
 
The confrontation was captured on video and shows white police officers taking down a one-legged homeless black man on the city’s central Market St. According to witnesses, police were called in to the scene to take care of a suspicious man waving some “sticks” around in the middle of the street.
 
The video was shot in August by Chaedria Labouvier, who is heard calling out to police throughout the video, shows the extent of humiliation and brute force exercised immediately after the man was wrestled to the ground by SFPD officers. As the disabled- and believed to be mentally challenged  Black male struggles to move, 4 cops pin him down,  after  officers called for an Extended Range Impact Weapon (ERIW) which is a less lethal use of force due to the circumstances.
 
“These are my crutches. I use these to walk,” the man tried to explain. But even after realizing that the man had a prosthetic leg, the police officers continued to use overwhelming physical restrain and man-handled him, forcing his head to the ground.
 
In the video you can clearly hear the homeless man complying with the cops and asking them to get off his prosthetic leg while hand-cuffed, as well as a Woman saying “Oh my God –you´re on his prosthetic leg?”
The video shows that the officers used their body weight to subdue the subject by attempting to hold him still for no reason-since the man was restrained.
 
San Francisco police spokeswoman Grace Gatpandan said officers encountered the 42-year-old man waving around wooden sticks and detained him for a mental health evaluation as he walked toward street traffic.
 
Witnesses in the video can be heard saying the man used the sticks as his crutches and was simply crossing the street.
Police chief Greg Suhr and others would “look into this situation thoroughly and determine if there were any violations of department policy”. She said the case was also sent to the independent office of citizen complaints.
 
This incident comes after a recent incident where San Francisco’s chief of police has moved to dismiss eight officers who sent and received racially charged and homophobic text messages that included references to lynching’s, white power and burning crosses.
Here’s the video of the incident below.

Autistic Melanoid Boy in Minnesota Received Two Seizures When Assaulted by Police https://www.melanoidnation.org/autistic-melanoid-boy-in-minnesota-received-two-seizures-when-assaulted-by-police/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/autistic-melanoid-boy-in-minnesota-received-two-seizures-when-assaulted-by-police/#comments Mon, 07 Sep 2015 17:48:34 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2449 St. Paul, MN — When it comes to attacks of any variety–be it from neighborhood bullies or law enforcement–we expect our special needs Brothers and Sisters to be exempt from such treatment. In the case of 17-year-old Marcus Abrams, he wasn’t as fortunate.

According to St. Paul’s KARE-TVAbrams, who is autistic, was on his way home from his job at the Minnesota State Fair when he was approached by two officers, whose names were Peter Buzicky and Richard Wegner. Abrams explained he was wearing headphones at the time of the incident, so he could not hear the officers speaking to him. The officers reportedly stepped to Abrams to ask him for his I.D., and the situation escalated from there. According to Wegner’s report, Abrams refused to place his hands behind his head and was visibly irritated by the cops’ invasion of his personal space.

Abrams was then slammed to the ground by the officers, which resulted in him later suffering two seizures. The primary reason for Abrams’ frustration with the race soldiers closing in on his personal space is directly linked to one of the issues of Abrams’ condition, and that is “touch sensory issues” which make him extremely territorial.

Only after Abrams’ mother, Maria Caldwell, stated that her son was autistic, was he not charged. Unfortunately, it took the young autistic Melanoid teen to receive an unnecessary brutal assault from law enforcement to prove his innocence. The transit station (where Abrams was assaulted) is currently investigating the incident. Here is a video clip of the story below.

Legally Blind Black Man Slammed to the Ground by Cops in Arkansas https://www.melanoidnation.org/legally-blind-black-man-slammed-to-the-ground-by-cops-in-arkansas/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/legally-blind-black-man-slammed-to-the-ground-by-cops-in-arkansas/#comments Fri, 12 Jun 2015 16:01:32 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=1933 LITTLE ROCK, AR – A Melanoid man was brutally assaulted by police officers in the Arkansas state capital. To make matters worse, he is legally blind.

The victim, named Eric Wilson, says he was walking home from work on June 1st when police summoned him to comply with him. As the video shows in this link, he is fully compliant, yet he is slammed to the ground by two cops who claimed in report following the incident that he “pulled away violently causing me to lose grip,” and he was “afraid that Wilson would strike myself or my partner with the handcuff.”

After the incident occurred, Mr. Wilson was taken to a local hospital, where he was diagnosed with a strained lumbar.

Racist High School Principal in Florida Publicly Shows Support for Eric Casebolt https://www.melanoidnation.org/racist-high-school-principal-in-florida-publicly-shows-support-for-eric-casebolt/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/racist-high-school-principal-in-florida-publicly-shows-support-for-eric-casebolt/#comments Wed, 10 Jun 2015 18:45:12 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=1916 MIAMI, FL – Alberto Iber served as principal of North Miami Senior High School until he decided to express himself via social media.

In the comments section of the Miami Herald’s website, Iber decided to leave a comment via his Facebook account which showed his staunch support for Eric Casebolt, the white supremacist race soldier who assaulted Melanoid teenagers last week at a pool party in McKinney, Texas. Below is a screenshot of Iber’s comments left on the site:

alberto-iber-comments

Ambrose Sims, the Black man who responded to Iber’s comments in the screenshot, happens to be a veteran of the Miami Beach Police Department, yet he refused to allow his position as a law enforcement officer be held to higher regard than his race, as you can see in his comment. Iber allegedly claimed that he meant to leave the comment anonymously, which further validates suspicion  about the racist trolls who lurk on Internet stories (which are serious in nature) where Melanoid people are the topic of those particular stories. What is even more alarming about this situation is that Iber served as a principal of a school that is 85 percent Black.

Iber was asked to step down form his position as principal of North Miami Senior High School today. He has been reassigned.

Check out the video below to see it for yourself.

To make matters worse, the white woman who Ms. Cooks was involved in the dispute with, was let go. Follow this link for more on this story.
