    Great-Grandpa Left Permanently Injured After Cops Beat Him Bloody in Wrongful Raid—Lawsuit

    Dunlap, TN — Despite police and their apologists constantly reminding us that “if we do nothing wrong, we have nothing to worry about,” innocent people continue to be arrested, beaten, and even killed by police carrying out deadly mistakes. Willard J. King, a Great-Grandfather from Sequatchie County, Tennessee found this out the hard way when he was beaten bloody by police in his own home during a wrongful raid, according to a lawsuit.

    King filed a lawsuit this month for the incident which unfolded in October of 2019 when police raided his home and attacked him in front of his granddaughter and her baby daughter.

    According to police, the raid was conducted as police looked for a missing person, Matthew Henry. Authorities from several state and federal agencies, looking for the answer to Henry’s whereabouts, raided King’s home on October 3, 2019. Despite leaving behind a path of destruction and literal blood, authorities found nothing.

    “I thought we were getting attacked by terrorists. I thought the United States was being attacked by terrorists,” said Willard’s granddaughter Shelby Grindstaff.Grindstaff and her 4-month-old baby had to flee the home as tear gas and pepper spray filled the air. King says as police rushed in, they attacked him with a shield for no reason.

    According to the lawsuit, defendants Marion County officers Brian Davis, Justin Graham and Andrew Voss, attacked King, beat him bloody and then “dragged his bloodied body by his feet outside of the residence.”

    “That’s where I laid and bled till they handcuffed me then they drug me out here and onto the porch and you can still see blood out here that ain’t got cleaned up yet,” King told News 9 at the time.

    Naturally, police claim this great-grandfather with a house full of family, attempted to attack the heavily armed militarized cops with shields, tasers, tear gas, and rifles, so they acted in self-defense.“[W]e do not believe the allegations of the plaintiff in this case have merit regarding any wrongdoing on the part of our deputy or on the part of the county,” R. Dee Hobbs, the attorney for Hamilton County, said.

    After the raid, King was arrested, only to be released without charges after the warrant was carried out. When local media attempted to get a copy of that warrant, they were told it was sealed by a judge. The body camera footage and arrest affidavit have also been withheld, per the request of District Attorney Mike Taylor. reports the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

    King’s attorney Roger Dereck Layne, maintains King was “unlawfully seized and detained against his will” while officers were “executing a broadly granted search warrant that did not define any area or residence” to be searched.

    According to the lawsuit, officers “recklessly used excessive force in order to cause [King] injury” despite the fact he “was not acting with harm” toward officers or anyone else.

    The conduct of the participating officers “was unjustified, unreasonable and grossly disproportionate to the actions of [King], if any, and was deliberately indifferent to the substantive due process liberty interests” of King, violating his Fourth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

    According to the lawsuit, the raid caused King to “sustain severe, permanent injury, and emotional distress.” He is now seeking $1 million in compensatory damages and $2 million in punitive damages, along with unspecified damages for medical and legal expenses, loss of future earnings, enjoyment of life and pain and suffering.

    Despite raiding the home of a great-grandpa and permanently injuring him in the process, police have yet to locate Matthew Henry, who has been missing since April of 2018.

      NOPD officer arrested and charged with domestic violence

      NEW ORLEANS — A New Orleans Police officer has been arrested on charges of domestic violence.

      According to partners at The Advocate | Times-Picayune, the NOPD said Emilio Aleman "was involved in a domestic incident with a dating partner."

      Aleman was booked Friday with home invasion while armed, unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling while armed, false imprisonment while armed and attempted third-degree rape after a warrant was obtained for his arrest.

      According to the agency, Officer Aleman was placed on emergency suspension after surrendering to the police.

      NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson made a statement:

      “This type of alleged behavior will not be condoned and will not be tolerated. Police officers must live by the laws they enforce, and these accusations run counter to everything we swear an oath to uphold.”

      The Public Integrity Bureau and Domestic Violence Unit investigated the case.

            America’s ‘Sheriff of the Year’ Covered Up School Cop Preying on Children for a Decade—Lawsuit

            Richland, SC — On Monday, the National Sheriffs Association handed out their highest honor and declared Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, Sheriff of the Year — for the entire United States.

            “This is a tremendous honor both personally and for the state of South Carolina,” Lott said in a press release. “This is the first time a S.C. sheriff has been named national Sheriff of the Year.”

            This decision was undoubtedly made months ago, but there are likely some members of the association who are worried they may have egg on their face for this move. Around the same time the association made their decision, a lawsuit was filed accusing Lott and internal investigators within his department for coving up sexual abuse of children — for nearly a decade.According to the lawsuit, Lott along with multiple members of the department, covered up the child sex crimes of the now-former deputy, Jamel Bradley from 2010 to 2019. The coverup, according to the filings, was carried out to save the department from embarrassment and liability — a 9-year conspiracy which has since been proven futile.

            Lott and Capt. John E. Ewing, the former deputy’s supervisor, “deliberately and systematically concealed Deputy Bradley’s predatory nature and concealed their own knowledge of his predatory nature,” the filing said.

            Bradley has since been arrested and charged with third degree criminal sexual conduct and sexual battery At the time of his arrests, Lott and the department were quick to distance themselves from the alleged child predator.

            “I’m sick to my stomach over the thought of this girl being victimized by one of my former deputies. No child should be subjected to this, and I’m disgusted that it happened with someone who was entrusted with protecting our children.”

            ‘We didn’t ignore this,” Lott said. “As soon as this came to our attention…we got on it.’

            But given the claims in the lawsuit, and the facts of the case, this was simply not true.

            According to the lawsuit, Lott and others in the department knew about this abuse for years and there were multiple red flags the department swept under the rug which implicated Bradley in crimes against children.

            Two of those red flags were lawsuits against the department and Richland school district officials, one of which settled last year for $900,000. Another red flag, according to The State, was evidence that Bradley had inappropriate relationships and possibly sexually assaulted a female student. That evidence included a lie detector test failed by the former deputy and emails with students that lawyers described as clearly suspicious.

            For years, multiple other red flags were raised and subsequently ignored by the department. They included inappropriate emails sent by Bradley to children as well as Bradley sending photos of himself to another student. A parent came forward with concerns Bradley was having “sexual relations” with a child which went to the desks of Ewing and the sheriff and were swept under the rug again.

            A student came forward as well and “gave a clear indication that she had been sexually assaulted” by Bradley. When the department was notified about these allegations, they told Bradley to simply stay away from the child. The student’s complaints “were not taken seriously,” the filing said. Bradley remained a resource officer at Spring Valley.

            Because of the inaction by the department, and the lack of concern about the child’s accusations, the girl’s health deteriorated and she was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts for nearly two months.

            The department’s response to those incidents were deficient to the point of “concealment,” according to the lawsuit.

            Highlighting the suspicious nature of these allegations is the fact the department tried to have this recent lawsuit thrown out — not because of lack of evidence — but claiming it was outside the statute of limitations. But lawyers for the plaintiff pointed out that the cover-up by the department and the sheriff excuses the late filing.

            Two investigators — who apparently had a conscience — found the aforementioned student’s accusations to be truthful and found Bradley to by lying so they opened a criminal investigation into the officer.

            While one of these investigators was out of town, however, the criminal investigation was “closed mysteriously and abruptly.” According to the lawsuit, one of the investigators described Bradley as “above reproach” as the department protected him.

            Despite the investigations, the failure of the lie detector tests, the accusations from parents and students alike, and the criminal complaints, Bradley, who had been temporarily reassigned amid the original investigation, was put back on the job as a school cop to continue the abuse.

            The State reports, in a later deposition, Lott said that at the time of the polygraph test, he was not concerned that the operator believed Bradley was lying.

            Despite all the evidence against Bradley, Lott stood by the cop, even going to bat for him during a deposition.

            Lott said that he believed Bradley was innocent of all the allegations against him and that the abused child was being untruthful.

            “Do you believe that the allegation from my client (Jane Doe 1) are untrue?” the lawyer asked.

            “That’s correct,” Lott said.

            “So you stand behind Deputy Bradley”

            “That’s correct,” Lott said.

            Just four months later, after the persistence of the two investigators finally led to charges against Bradley, Lott changed his tone and called his officer a “monster” who “hid behind the badge and my name for all this time.”

            This sheriff just received one of the highest honors in the country, and he’s apparently been covering up child sex abuse for years. This is the state of policing in 2021.

                          ‘Bad Apple Act’ to End Qualified Immunity for Corrupt Cops Who Violate Rights

                          Springfield, IL — Over the past few years, the residents of Illinois — especially those who live in Chicago — have been subjected to a militarized police state occupation. Innocent family after innocent family each waking up in the middle of the night as heavily armed storm troopers throw flash bangs into their homes, haul them outside in the cold, point guns at their heads, and even handcuff small children. These families are being terrorized in their own homes, many of them left with PTSD, and no one is being held accountable — because the state is the one behind the terror — and the doctrine of qualified immunity protects them all.

                          House Bill 1727, introduced by Rep. Curtis Tarver sets out to change this paradigm. The aptly titled Bad Apples in Law Enforcement Accountability Act aims to end qualified immunity for cops who violate the rights of citizens.

                          For those who may be unaware, the Supreme Court created qualified immunity in 1982. With that novel invention, the court granted all government officials immunity for violating constitutional and civil rights unless the victims of those violations can show that the rights were “clearly established.

                          ”The court held in Harlow v. Fitzgerald that government actors are entitled to this immunity due to the “need to protect officials who are required to exercise discretion and the related public interest in encouraging the vigorous exercise of official authority.”

                          “Government officials performing discretionary functions generally are shielded from liability for civil damages insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.”

                          As Anya Bidwell points out, although innocuous sounding, the clearly established test is a legal obstacle nearly impossible to overcome. It requires a victim to identify an earlier decision by the Supreme Court, or a federal appeals court in the same jurisdiction holding that precisely the same conduct under the same circumstances is illegal or unconstitutional. If none exists, the official is immune. Whether the official’s actions are unconstitutional, intentional or malicious is irrelevant to the test.

                          The subject of Qualified Immunity began receiving much needed scrutiny after the death of George Floyd last year. A bipartisan push began across the country to remove the ability of cops to abuse the doctrine essentially granting them immunity to inflict violent punishment on often innocent people so long as that exact same violations of rights hasn’t taken place in that same jurisdiction.

                          House Bill 1727 is one of many bills across the country attempting put an end to this unchecked violations of rights. As the Daily Herald reports, HB 1727 aims to remove the court doctrine of qualified immunity for officers, opening them up to civil litigation if they participate in the “deprivation of any individual rights” guaranteed in the Illinois Constitution.

                          The bill goes further than other bills we’ve seen as it also makes cops liable for failing to intervene if such a deprivation of rights is occurring in front of them.

                          “Qualified immunity is one defense in a host of defenses that law enforcement has,” Tarver said as he recalled the killing of George Floyd. “Someone putting their knee on someone’s neck for nine minutes when they’ve already surrendered, that’s not a split-second decision.”

                          “We can no longer just accept the presence of bad apples in law enforcement as an inevitable truth,” Peter Hanna from ACLU of Illinois told the House Restorative Justice Committee last week as the bill moved forward. “No reform, no matter how well intentioned, can be effective until we add real police accountability.”

                          Naturally, the police unions hate the idea of holding bad apples accountable and say that any such talk of police accountability will lead to a shortage of cops.
                          "
                          We have the membership rolls, we see the outcome, we know we’re losing membership,” said Andrew Bodewes of the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police. “We’re concerned that a change like this would further complicate that.

                          ”In other words, telling cops that they should not beat up and kill citizens because it could lead to them being held accountable, is bad for recruiting more cops. The bill’s sponsor says that is not necessarily a bad thing.

                          “If this leads to less police officers who are attracted to law enforcement because they know that they can demonize people and brutalize people, then I’m all for it,” Tarver said. “If this leads to attracting the right people, I’m all for it as well.”

                          We agree.

                              After crashing a city vehicle, this off duty pig knew he was going to fail a drug test and thought he deserved the blue line privilege, but his fellow blue line gang members weren't handing it out that day. "I can't do it right now or otherwise I would, man," he said in a copsplaining rant to other cops.





                              Off Duty Cop Refuses Mandatory Drug Test in Front of Supervisors

                              Bossier, LA- @Cop Watch​ obtained lapel footage of an incident involving an off duty Bossier City police officer being questioned by his supervisors. Off duty officer Travis Coker. It started when a citizen called into 911 saying a Bossier City Police unit was driving erratically and hit a mailbox. Bossier City Police supervisors identified the unit and went to the area. They contacted Coker in a grocery store parking lot. 3 supervisors were on scene. Coker denied any wrong doing and would not go directly to a drug test. According to an Internal Affairs investigation, supervisors stated that Coker appeared under the influence of medication or substance. Since Coker was off duty and outside Bossier City police jurisdiction, the investigation was only administrative in nature and not criminal. And because Coker was operating a city vehicle, supervisors ordered him to take a reasonable suspicion drug test pursuant to BCPD policy.

                              Coker was put on leave and an internal investigation found cause to fire him. Coker is expected to appeal his firing before the Civil Service Board in Louisiana.

                                          Cop Claims He Has Amnesia Hours After Allegedly Beating Police Chief to Death


                                          Tulsa, OK — The numbers do not lie. Police in America are the deadliest throughout the entire world. American cops kill far more than their counterparts in the rest of the world and these numbers are indisputable. One indicator that the problem has gotten out of hand is the fact that cops are killing cops. In a tragic case out of Florida last, a police officer killed his own police chief. Now he’s in jail and appears to have amnesia.

                                          In November, Mannford police officer Michael Patrick Nealey, 49, was arrested and charged with the murder of Mannford police chief Lucky Miller, 44. The duo traveled from the small town of Mannford, Oklahoma for a conference in Pensacola over a weekend when things took a tragic turn.

                                          In a local story out of Tulsa, KTUL reports that Nealey appears to have no idea why he’s in jail nor what happened.
                                          The video was just released this week, showing Nealey’s interrogation just hours after he allegedly beat Miller to death.

                                          “I know you’re asking me questions, but can I ask you a question? Homicide? Who is dead?” Nealey asked the officers interviewing him.


                                          “Lucky’s dead,” replied the officers.

                                          “Lucky’s dead. Hmm,” Nealey said in response.

                                          As KTUL reports, in pictures of the crime scene, blood and paramedic equipment is seen on the floor and a mostly empty vodka bottle is seen nearby. Nealey claims to not know what happened.


                                          “I would like to know what happened. I’m telling you I don’t have any memory of any of this sh–. I’m shocked that Lucky’s dead. It’s shocking,” he said.


                                          “I’ve got no problem with Lucky,” Nealey said. “I can’t believe what you’re telling me has happened. I can’t believe. Hmmm. Wow.”

                                          “Did you have any sort of animosity or anything like that towards Lucky?” an investigator asked Nealey.

                                          “Nope,” Nealey responded.

                                          “Lucky is dead. I cannot believe it. I cannot believe it,” he added.

                                          Oklahoma Cop Found GUILTY of Murder — He Decapitated His Own Police Chief

                                          Tulsa, OK — The numbers do not lie. Police in America are the deadliest throughout the entire world. American cops kill far more than their counterparts in the rest of the world and these numbers are indisputable. One indicator that the problem has gotten out of hand is the fact that cops are killing cops. In a tragic case out of Florida in 2019, a police officer killed his own police chief. This week, he was convicted for the murder of his own police chief.

                                          In November 2019, Mannford police officer Michael Patrick Nealey, 49, was arrested and charged with the murder of Mannford police chief Lucky Miller, 44. The duo traveled from the small town of Mannford, Oklahoma for a conference in Pensacola when things took a tragic turn.

                                          According to forensics investigators, Nealey beat Miller so violently that he was internally decapitated, which would require the same force of a vehicular crash.

                                          On Wednesday, Nealey was found guilty of second-degree murder by a Florida jury, who deliberated for just two hours. After the verdict was read aloud, WEAR reports that this killer cop was handcuffed, fingerprinted and taken into custody, showing no emotion.

                                          In a local story out of Tulsa at the time, KTUL reported that Nealey had no idea why he’s in jail nor what happened. This was part of his defense at trial, claiming that alcohol caused him to lose it and kill his police chief. Prosecutors did not buy it.

                                          “Only two people were in that room. One of them is dead and one of them is on trial,” said prosecutor Trey Myers during closing arguments.

                                          “It’s impossible to get inside the mind of a man who was here for a law enforcement conference who has had half a gallon of vodka to drink and understand his thoughts,” added Myers. “Alcohol may explain what happened, but it does not excuse legally in the state of Florida the taking of Lucky Miller’s
                                          life.”

                                            Police Chief Arrested, Charged for Bashing Wife’s Head In with a Hammer

                                            Holden, MO — As TFTP has consistently reported, police officers in the United States have an exceedingly higher rate of domestic violence than any other occupation. The average rate of domestic violence among most families in America is around 10%. As the National Center for Women and Policing points out, two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence. That is a four-fold increase. This number is likely far higher due to the fact that much of this abuse goes unreported and is covered up. One case out of Holden, Missouri won’t be covered up, however, because a woman and wife of the town’s police chief, has the hammer marks in her head to prove the actions of her violent husband.

                                            Holden Police Chief Trent Neal was arrested last week after police were called out to his residence over his attack on his wife with a hammer. According to police, Neal is suspected hitting his wife in the head with a framing hammer while the pair were in their garage, rendering the woman unconscious.

                                            After knocking his wife unconscious with hammer blows to the head, Neal left her there for dead. Luckily, his wife did not die and when she came to, Neal was gone. His wife then called a friend, who in-turn called police to report the abuse.

                                            According to court documents obtained by FOX 4, Neal’s wife said before he hit her with the hammer, he grabbed her by the neck and smashed her head into the wall. She told authorities she tried to hide behind a wooden table in the garage, and that’s when Neal allegedly grabbed the hammer.

                                            “The primary aggressor (Neal) was arrested and transported to Johnson County jail,” MSHP Sgt. Bill Lowe said.

                                            According to police, when they asked Neal how his wife received the grotesque injuries to her face from the hammer and the wall, Neal told investigators he “had no idea.” He then claimed that when the couple got home, they put their child to sleep and went to bed. Investigators immediately pointed out the discrepancies in Neal’s story, however.

                                            “We’re realizing that this is a serious crime, a serious offense,” Lowe said, “and we’re doing what we can to make sure that we help the victim.”

                                            But judging on the history of abuse, as described by the victim, “help” was the last thing she’s ever received from the department.

                                            In court documents obtained by FOX 4, the woman said Neal “has a history of abusing her.” She said he’s “assaulted her multiple times each month over the past two years.” Neal’s wife went on to say he’s always threatening to take their child, telling her he’s a police chief.

                                            She told investigators she feared losing her child and worried Neal “will harm her or kill her if she seeks help,” according to court documents.

                                            Sadly, as TFTP reports on a regular basis, this is a situation countless spouses find themselves in from coast to coast. As we reported last week, in an investigation by the Boston Globe found that in most instances of domestic violence, the officers face no discipline much less criminal charges.

                                            According to the report, “of the dozens of State Police and Boston police officers who have been investigated over the past decade for domestic-abuse-related offenses, more than half have gone entirely undisciplined, records show — while some have remained on the job despite multiple allegations against them.”

                                            But it gets worse, even when female cops complain that their husband cops beat them, this was ignored as well.

                                            The Globe’s investigators contacted Lou Reiter, a policing consultant and former deputy police chief with the Los Angeles Police Department, who confirmed this problem is rife from coast to coast.

                                            “Most departments,” explained Reiter, “want to just shut their eyes and cover their ears.”

                                            If, in the extremely rare chance this cop is convicted of beating his wife with a hammer, he faces a maximum sentence of four years behind bars. Had the victim attacked a police officer in the same manner with a hammer, she’d be facing 10 to 30 years. And we still call this a “justice” system.

                                              https://thefreethoughtproject.com/vi...g-k-9-partner/


                                              Big surprise! More blue line privilege for a POS pig. Any person who isn't a cop would be criminally charged for the same actions and would be allowed to have their day in court to defend themselves. But not the pigs. They just allow their badged and costumed criminals to resign and walk free avoiding criminal charges. This is not justice and this BS has to end.

                                              Officer NOT Charged, Allowed to Resign Despite Strangling, Beating His K-9 on Video

                                              Salisbury, NC — Over the years, the Free Thought Project has reported on numerous officers who have shown zero restraint when killing harmless animals who mean them no harm. In some extreme cases, these officers are so abusive that they have no problem hurting their own K9 partners. As the following case out of Salisbury, North Carolina illustrates, fellow cops allow the abuse to happen and even laugh about it and because the system doesn’t hold them accountable, they are allowed to resign and simply move to another department.

                                              Officer James Hampton was captured in an utterly heartbreaking video last month abusing his K-9 partner. Instead of charging the cop for the horrific animal abuse, Hampton was allowed to quietly resign to avoid any accountability or the possibility of tarnishing his career.

                                              Hampton “had acted in a manner entirely inconsistent with his K-9 training and had violated Police Department policy,” the department said. But before they got around to firing him, Hampton was allowed to resign.

                                              “As a result, he was recommended for termination,” the agency said in a statement. “The Police Department followed its disciplinary process, which requires that an employee subject to termination be afforded a due process hearing. Following that hearing, and prior to the Police Department formalizing any disciplinary action, Officer Hampton tendered his resignation, effective immediately. The Police Department did not incentivize or otherwise request Officer Hampton’s resignation, which he tendered as a matter of right.”

                                              “The Salisbury Police Department will continue to review and make the necessary changes to our K-9 training operations, policies and procedures that align with industry best practices,” the agency added.

                                              At the time of the incident, the department claimed the well-being of their animals is at the top of their priorities. But if the well-being of their K-9s is a “top priority” Hampton should be fired, charged with animal cruelty and arrested immediately. Unfortunately, however, that has not happened and likely won’t happen.

                                              The only thing that has happened was that the K-9 was removed from the officer’s custody and the officer resigned. This abuse is especially worrisome given the fact that veterinarian records for his K-9 “Zuul”, released by the department confirm that just several months prior in October, the 3-year-old Dutch Shepherd “had an incident that involved his neck in October of 2020.”AS TFTP reported at the time, the incident unfolded as the officer and the K-9 are conducting a training exercise when the K-9 jumps from the vehicle without being told to do so.

                                              When the dog realizes his mistake, he immediately drops down into a submissive position. This seeming apology was not enough for the officer, however, who then wrapped a strap around the dog’s neck and proceeded to strangle him while whipping him around in circles as if he was trying to kill the animal.

                                              As he carries the dog to the car, by his neck, two feet off the ground, the officer then slams the dog into the side of the cruiser before throwing him back in the vehicle. He then hits the dog in the face for good measure.

                                              Highlighting the nature of the blue code of silence, while the officer is abusing the dog, the cops filming it laugh at the abuse they see unfolding before them and say, “we’re good. No witnesses,” as another cop chuckles.

                                              When the cop continues abusing his K-9, the officers begin asking each other if their “cameras are on,” in a likely move to try and avoid official video of the incident.

                                              While it is certainly bad enough that Hampton was allowed to resign without consequences, the fact that the other officers who covered it up and laughed about it faced no discipline whatsoever, highlights a major problem among policing in the US.

                                                          WATCH: Cops Looking for WHITE Suspect, Arrest First Innocent Black Man They See

                                                          Los Angeles, CA — In one of the most egregious acts of ignorance, violence, and racial profiling we’ve ever seen from police, an innocent black man was assaulted at his home and kidnapped for fitting the description of a suspect. The suspect was a white man.

                                                          Body camera footage was released this week which is now the subject of a civil rights lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department and the city. LAPD officers accosted and arrested Antone Austin and his girlfriend in front of his home because the officers were too lazy and ignorant to realize the man they were looking for was white.

                                                          The incident unfolded on May 24, 2019 but the body camera has only just been released after the city kept it from the public for two years. The Los Angeles City Attorney’s office had said in a court filing that it did not want the Los Angeles Police Department video released publicly because it would “be contrary to LAPD policy and may have a chilling effect on future LAPD investigations.”

                                                          However, as the LA Times reported, U.S. Magistrate Jacqueline Chooljian agreed with an attorney for the producer and his girlfriend that the 11-minute video should be released.

                                                          On that day, Austin had harmed no one, had broken no law, and was simply taking out his garbage when two tyrants with the LAPD drove by and decided to attack him.

                                                          As their patrol car makes a U-turn after passing Austin, one officer asks the other, “This dude?”

                                                          “Probably,” says the other cop. The officers were reportedly responding to a 911 call made by a neighbor about her ex-boyfriend, who was white.

                                                          When the cops get out of their car, Austin thought it would be a peaceful encounter as he had committed no crime and thought they may have needed help. But this was no peaceful encounter and cops immediately began violating Austin’s rights from the start.

                                                          The officers tell him to turn around. He asks why, and the officer snaps back, “Because I told you to.” Austin informs the officer he lives there, and the officer admits his ignorance, and says, “OK, man, I don’t know who I am looking for.”

                                                          Not knowing what’s going on, Austin was understandably frightened so he asks the officers what was happening.

                                                          “What is your problem?” the officer snaps at Austin, as if an innocent can’t ask why cops are assaulting and kidnapping him.

                                                          As Austin attempts to turn back toward them, the officers escalate force and twist his arms behind his back.This sends Austin into panic mode as he begins to yell “Help” repeatedly.

                                                          “You’re looking for the people upstairs,” Austin tells the cops in an attempt to stop the assault, and doing better investigative work than the officers.

                                                          But the cops did not care and when Austin’s girlfriend, Michelle Michlewicz, tried to stop her boyfriend’s assault, they tackled her too.

                                                          “My rights have been violated,” he says.

                                                          Michlewicz adds, “I just got tackled to the ground.”

                                                          The innocent couple was then arrested.Later, after Austin and his girlfriend were brutalized and kidnapped, the cops can be heard on body camera footage acknowledging, “…We got the wrong guy.”

                                                          Despite this admission, the couple was still placed under arrest.

                                                          “It is racial profiling. They had no description of the suspect — a completely blank slate,” said attorney Faisal Gill, who represents both of them in the civil rights lawsuit. “They literally saw the first Black man, and they arrested him.”

                                                          “If they thought you were the guy, I feel like they would have had a conversation with you,” Austin said.

                                                          “They wouldn’t just immediately thought about slapping cuffs on your body and then pushing you up against a dirty garage, slamming you on the concrete,” he said.

                                                          Unfortunately for Austin, these officers were not looking for a conversation, they were out for blood.

                                                          Austin says his calls for help saved his life. He explained that if the neighbors hadn’t called police after hearing his pleas for help, he may have been killed by these cops. A chilling notion, indeed.

                                                          “I just know that these are the situations that people that look like me die in,” Austin said. “The neighbors that saved my life are also white folks. So it’s like, you know, without them, and no telling what would have happened to me.”

                                                                    D.A.R.E. Cop Arrested on 122 Charges for Raping Boys While Telling Them Not to Do Drugs

                                                                    Doylestown, PA — The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program should better be called an hilarious exercise in how not to convince kids to keep away from substances the state deems illegal. As cops hopped on their high horses and had children pledge not to do drugs, the rate of drug use skyrocketed — thrusting the country into one of the worst drug epidemics in human history. The hypocrisy by the cops who pushed the D.A.R.E. program has been well-documented over the years, explaining, at least in part, as to why the program was such a failure from the start. Now, another cop who pushed kids to ‘just say no’ has been arrested and accused of disturbing criminal activity. Warminster Township Police Officer James Carey swore an oath to protect the children of Doylestown and instead of protecting them, according to a recent indictment, this cop preyed on them. Adding to the insidious nature of Carey’s alleged crimes against children is the fact that he committed them while pretending to be a role model as the school district’s D.A.R.E. officer.

                                                                    Carey, 52, is facing over 100 charges, announced by Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub on Wednesday. A grand jury presented a whopping 80-page indictment against Carey detailing 122 counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault and other related charges.

                                                                    Carey is accused of raping multiple boys while working as the D.A.R.E. officer at elementary, middle and high schools in the Centennial School District. The incidents allegedly spanned the course of decades taking place between 1987 and 2009 and involved at least four boys.

                                                                    “A police officer’s creed is to protect and serve his community,” Weintraub said. “In a perverse and criminal dereliction of his duty, James Carey instead took advantage of his power and credibility while on the job as a police officer to sexually abuse our community’s most vulnerable: our children.”

                                                                    According to the indictment, Carey met his victims at school and would lure them to places outside of campus to prey on them, including on overnight camping trips to the Poconos and to Camp Ockanickon, a Boy Scout facility in Medford, Burlington County, according to the district attorney.

                                                                    According to the indictment, rumors of the abuse began surfacing long before the investigation as Carey had a reputation of inappropriate behavior around male children which included inviting them to his house to get in his hot tub.

                                                                    The investigation began to gain steam after a now-adult victim came forward in May and that he had been molested by Carey at a rec center in the township, according to the affidavit of probable cause for Carey’s arrest.

                                                                    According to the the affidavit, Carey would use his D.A.R.E. police officer status to prey on kids caught with drugs, giving them the ultimatum of sexually pleasuring him or go to jail.

                                                                    The victim explained he met Carey in the D.A.R.E. program. One day, according to the victim, Carey followed him into the bathroom at school and told the victim he needed to search him after claiming to find a bag of marijuana. During the invasive search, Carey sexually assaulted the boy, forcing him to perform a sex act.The other victims told similar stories of this predator cop who pretended to befriend them in order to force them to perform sex acts.

                                                                    “The grooming tactics he used were pervasive, manipulative, and calculated such that he not only lowered the minor’s guard but also attempted to provide an assurance that his crimes would go unreported and if reported, not believed,” prosecutors wrote in court documents.

                                                                    Carey was booked into jail on Wednesday and almost immediately posted a $100,000 bond. This low bail was despite the judge saying she believed Carey was a danger to the community and that he should be locked up.

                                                                    “I can’t answer for what’s in a judge’s mind. I wish I could, but I can’t,” Weintraub said.

                                                                    Carey’s attorney, Michael Applebaum, said Carey “completely denies the allegations and looks forward to defending himself in court.”Prosecutors are not buying it, however.

                                                                    “He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, preying on those who trusted him,” Weintraub said.

                                                                    In a sick twist, prosecutors say Carey had a co-molester — a man identified as Charles Goodenough. The DA was forced to drop the case against Goodenough because after receiving a grand jury subpoena, Goodenough killed himself.

                                                                    “We identified Goodenough’s victims who were linked to him through the Boy Scouts,” Weintraub said.

                                                                    After listening to the testimonies of the four victims, prosecutors believe there are likely other victims who are just scared to come forward after falling for Carey’s devious tactics. They are urging the other potential victims to come forward and help put this monster away for a long time.

                                                                    “If you or someone you know was molested by this man, please come forward,” Weintraub said. “We will help you get justice. We can help you heal.”
