"Moments before a Mesa, Arizona, police officer killed Daniel Shaver with five shots from an AR-15, Shaver was on all fours, pleading with officers not to shoot him, according to a newly released police report from the incident. Shaver, a twenty-six-year-old from Texas, was killed on January 18. Philip Brailsford, the two-year Mesa Police Department officer who allegedly killed him, was fired from the department and charged with second-degree murder. Shaver was staying at a Mesa La Quinta Inn on a work-related trip when he was killed, according to a local ABC affiliate. The police report (viewable in full here) alleges that officers received a call about a man pointing a rifle out Shaver’s fifth-floor hotel window. According to the police report, the officers who responded asked Shaver and a woman he was with to exit the room. Shaver exited, then raised his hands and dropped to his knees. An officer told him to lay on the ground, and he did. He was “obviously compliant and offered no resistance at that point,” the report reads. Then, Shaver was ordered to put his hands behind his head, cross his legs, and not move. If he moved, the officer told him, he would be considered a threat, and “may not survive it.” The officers then ordered the woman Shaver was with to crawl towards them, and ordered Shaver back to a kneeling position. “If you do that again, we’re shooting you. Do you understand?” an officer asked him, apparently referencing Shaver’s failure to immediately raise his hands as he kneeled. “No, please don’t shoot me,” Shaver replied. At around this point, according to the report, he began sobbing. Officers ordered Shaver to crawl toward them, and he complied, “audibly sobbing” as he did so. As he crawled, he briefly moved his hand toward his waist and back toward his body, and Officer Brailsford began shooting. “The movement of SHAVER’s right arm in the recording was a very similar motion to someone drawing a pistol from their waist band,” the report reads. However, it continues, “SHAVER’s underwear were clearly visible and it appeared his shorts had fallen partially down his leg at that point. SHAVER’s motion was also consistent with attempting to pull his shorts up as they were falling off.” Monique Portillo, the woman who was with Shaver, told police that she was also staying at the hotel on business, and that she and a male coworker had met Shaver in the elevator. Shaver invited them to do shots in his room, and when they arrived, Portillo asked Shaver about a case in the room, which she thought might contain a musical instrument. Shaver opened it, revealing the rifle and a dead sparrow. He told her Portillo that he worked for Walmart and that his job was to kill birds that made their way into the store. (The store does apparently employ people to shoot and kill birds.) Shaver and the other man began playing with the rifle, according to Portillo, pointing it out the window as they did so. Luis Nunez, the other man, left the room to call his wife before police arrived, Portillo said. The report’s detailed description of Shaver’s death is sourced from an interview with Portillo and from body camera footage from one of the officers, which Mesa police have not released. Both state prosecutors and Brailsford’s defense attorneys are arguing that the footage should remain sealed. BuzzFeed News notes that Laney Sweet, Shaver’s widow, recorded a conversation in which a prosecutor told her she could view the body camera footage, but only if she did not speak to the media about it. She declined, and uploaded audio of the conversation to YouTube."

"A horrifying new dashcam video shows at least one white member of the Aiken, S.C. Police Department search inside a black man’s rectum for the apparent crime of being a passenger in a car with paper tags, which, it bears noting, is not a crime in the state of South Carolina. Driving a car with paper tags isn’t illegal either, as long as they aren’t expired. The Washington Post reports the car belonged to a woman named Lakeya Hicks, who had the paper tags because she had recently purchased the vehicle. Hicks’ tags weren’t expired, and a check on her license came up clean. But the cops didn’t let her go. Instead, Officer Chris Medlin asked the passenger, Elijah Pontoon, for identification. Pontoon, who has a criminal record, was ordered out of the car and handcuffed. In the video, Medlin explains his legal rationale: “Because of your history, I’ve got a dog coming in here. Gonna walk a dog around the car.” Also: “You gonna pay for this one, boy.” The k9 arrives but find no contraband. The cops search the car but find no contraband. This evidence does not lead them to conclude there was no contraband. This evidence apparently leads them to decide to search Pontoon’s asshole. Audio from the video suggests all they find was a hemorrhoid. At the same time, according to a federal lawsuit filed on their behalf, a female officer was searching Hicks, exposing the woman’s breasts to the other three male officers and anyone else who happened to be on the road. Again, no contraband was found. Later, a dejected Medlin can be heard on the radio speaking to a superior after the fruitless search. “We search the car. There ain’t nothing in the car... And on a search of him, up in his crotch by the butt, I felt something hard. I lifted his pants and pulled the back of his underwear down and I didn’t see anything but I didn’t get all the way up in there to get no vertical up shot. I just pulled his underwear back, but I didn’t see nothing. But it felt, he said it was a hemorrhoid. It ain’t no... it was a rock. It was a rock of crack. It’s gotta be a rock. He’s got it up in his butt.” Medlin sadly concludes, “But there ain’t no way to justify. He said, ‘I got nothing here. That’s a long time ago. I ain’t doing nothing.’ He said it’s a hemorrhoid. I got nothing else to go on. Nothing. Yeah we’re gonna have to cut him loose here.” Who needs probable cause to perform an invasive search? Apparently not Medlin."

Though the police begin insisting their actions were predicated by Mumford's refusal to show his ID, the footage indicates they never asked for it before attacking him. Mumford was charged with misdemeanor obstruction following this confrontation. Though that charge was dismissed, he is still scheduled for a probation revocation hearing which his attorney says could cause him to go to jail, lose his job, and miss college classes."

Real ignorance, as displayed by moron, is only looking at events through the lens of the echo-chamber.

Rather than looking at things objectively, everything is framed within a narrative and sensationalized, to the point that narrative supersedes fact.

Statistical relevancy? Perspective? Objectivity? No, just outrageous click-bait headlines about "victims" and the gullible bleeding hearts tweeting hashtags and calling anyone else "ignorant". That is my favorite thing about the bleeding hearts... the condescending dismissal of other viewpoints as "ignorant" as they confine themselves to such a limited and biased "view" (true ignorance) all because they are convinced liberal propaganda is actual "news".

That's why the San Bernardino thread on this site is titled "20+ shot near san bernadino planned parenthood". That is why so many TWW SJW's initially were so upset anyone would laugh at the Mizzou race hoax. That's why TWW SJW's ate up the clock boy Islamaphobia hoax. When you are defending a fragile narrative that does not align with reality, you get desperate for actual tragedies to validate your misplaced focus... desperate to the point that you have already shared your ThinkProgres article and Hashtagged about how much you care before even looking objectively at what is happening.

#TrueIgnorance

I'm sure the SJW's were all over the Houston Mosque burning a few months ago. FINALLY a concrete piece of Islamaphobia to help us defend what the liberal media cycle has ordered us to care about... turns out it was carried out by an ex-attendee... suddenly it is no longer reported. Narrative > News.

Justice for 19 yr old girl beaten by police and maliciously attacked by K9 police dog.
https://www.change.org/p/kamala-harris-justice-for-19-yr-old-girl-beaten-by-police

Quote :

"Tatyana Hargrove is a 19 yr old girl who was beaten by Bakersfield police and maliciously attacked by a K9 police dog while riding her bike home. The reason? Police say they mistook her for an adult male suspect but throughout the encounter, Tatyana was never told why she was being arrested. “After they beat me and threw me in the cop car, that’s when they told me,” she said. Tatyana stopped for a moment while riding her bike when she saw three police cars and an officer pointing a gun at here. Police asked if she was just a grocery store where earlier that day police received a report of a man with a machete who attempted to stab an employee. They were looking for a 30-year-old black male nearly 6 feet tall with shaved head and goatee and weighing 160lbs. Tatyana is 5 feet, 2 inches tall and only weighs 120 pounds. When Tatyana said she wasn’t at the grocery store, the police demanded to see her backpack: “I looked behind me and it was a big K-9 dog,” she said. “I then got scared and then I was like ‘Here just take the backpack.’” Tatyana says one officer then grabbed her wrist and neck and punched her in the mouth. “He then threw me onto the ground and then that’s when the K-9 came and started eating at my leg.” One officer put his knees on her back. Over and over she yelled “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.” It wasn’t long before officers realized they had the wrong person but by then Tatyana had been punched, shoved, and severely bitten by a dog. She was taken to a hospital where she called her father who was told by an officer “it was mistaken identity.” "
