The right will tell you that we do not have a police state and don't murder innocent civilians, and all that other BS they keep outside the rose colored glasses. Fact is - the state jack booted thugs do kill innocent civilians and here is nother case to tack on the wall.

Death Squad in Delaware: The Case of the Murdered Marine
by William Norman Grigg

Derek was house-sitting for a friend on the day he was murdered. Sandra Lopez, the ex-wife of Derek's friend, arrived with an 11-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter just shortly before the police showed up. After helping Sandra and her children remove some of their personal belongings, Derek was sitting placidly on the front step, clad in jeans and a hooded sweatshirt, when an unmarked police car and a blacked-out SUV arrived and disgorged their murderous cargo.

The police vehicles screeched to a halt in front of the house shortly after 4:00 p.m. They ordered Lopez and her children away from Derek – who, predictably, had risen to his feet by this time – and then ordered him to remove his hands from his the pockets of his sweatshirt.

Less than a second later – according to several eyewitnesses at the scene – Derek was hit with a taser blast that knocked him sideways and sent him into convulsions. His right hand involuntarily shot out of its pocket, clenching spasmodically.

The officers continued to order Derek to put up his hands; he was physically unable to comply.

So they tased him again. This time he was driven to his side and vomited into a nearby flower bed.

Howard Mixon, a contractor who had been working nearby, couldn't abide the spectacle.

“That's not necessary!” he bellowed at the assailants. “That's overkill! That's overkill!”

At this point, one of the heroes in blue (or, in this case, black) swaggered over to Mixon and snarled, “I'll f*****g show you overkill!” Having heroically shut up an unarmed civilian, the officer turned his attention back to Derek – who was being tased yet again.

“I'm trying to get my hands out,” Derek exclaimed, desperately trying to make his tortured and traumatized body obey his will. Horrified, his friend Sandra screamed at the officers: “He is trying to get his hands out, he cannot get his hands out!”

Lt. William Brown of the Wilmington Police Department, who was close enough to seize and handcuff the helpless victim, instead shot him in the chest at point-blank range, tearing apart his vitals with three .40-caliber rounds. He did this after Derek had said, repeatedly and explicitly, that he was trying to cooperate. He did this despite the fact that witnesses on the scene had confirmed that Derek was trying to cooperate. He did this in front of a traumatized mother and two horrified children.

Why was this done?

According to Sgt. Steven Elliot of the WPD, Brown slaughtered Derek Hale because he “feared for the safety of his fellow officers and believed that the suspect was in a position to pose an imminent threat.” That subjective belief was sufficient justification to use “deadly force,” according to Sgt. Elliot.

The “position” Derek was in, remember, was that of wallowing helplessly in his own vomit, trying to overcome the cumulative effects of three completely unjustified Taser attacks.

Some justice. I hope the Feds get involved as his rights were violated, and each officer gets the max that can be given.
And each officer knows what a teaser does to the body and its results. The damn reason it is even used. To enable them to control the situation and cause no permanent harm!
These son of bi*ches are criminals themselves. And must be delt with.

ohh, opednews, that one of the unbais ones isn't it.

I took the time to read through a few reports from actual news organisation and not opeds, which are no better than blogs.

There are very major contradictions in eye witness reports. Including reports of some people saying that the police identified themselves and some people saying they didn't. Reports saying that after being tazed, he lost all control over every muscle in his body, but still be able to talk fluently to people in the room.

After that young man on his wedding day was shot and killed, more situations like this should get a huge backlash from the public.

And there was a case previously this year of an elderly Black man in New Orleans that was simply on the street and inebriated to the point of being barely responsive. He was also shot with absolutely no evidence of threat to the police.


If you don't have the right professional temperament for such a challenging job as a policeman, try another line of work. How about fireman, a civil service equivalent?

Yes, we live in a police state. Cameras on stoplights, jack-booted cops with military hardware, & courts willing to always give the cops the benefit of the doubt, as if police were somehow genetically programmed to always tell the truth.

I've been in a lot of countries around the world. America is far from the freest.
