State violence redux.

Image result for san bernardino pregnant woman image      We can thank the institution of body cameras on law enforcement officials for allowing us to get yet another glimpse of encounters between police officers and citizens here in America.

"Shocking body camera video shows two Southern California cops slam an eight-months pregnant woman to the ground after a parking lot dispute started as the woman dropped her child off at school.
 
The city of Barstow, an Inland Empire city in San Bernardino County, defended the officers' actions, writing in a statement that Charlena Michelle Cooks was actively resisting arrest during the January incident.

"The Barstow Police Department continues to be proactive in training its officers to assess and handle interactions with emotionally charged individuals while conducting an investigation, for the protection of everyone involved," the statement, obtained by the Desert Dispatch, reads.

The bizarre confrontation began when Cooks and another woman, a school employee, got into a “road rage” confrontation in the parking lot at Crestline Elementary School, where Cooks was dropping off her second-grade daughter.

The officer, speaking to the other woman, says no crime has been committed and he’ll go speak to Cooks about what happened and “document her name.”

As Cooks explains her side, the officer suddenly cuts her off and asks for identification, something he hadn’t done with the other woman.

"I don't even think that that disagreement in the parking lot was enough to warrant a call to the police," Cooks told the Dispatch.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, which took up Cooks’ case and released the video, says California law does not require someone to identify themselves “for no reason.”Cooks, in the video, tells the officer that she’d like to call her boyfriend and verify the law about identification. But the officer, after first promising to give her “two minutes” to find out whether she must give up her name, walks up to Cooks after 20 seconds and grabs her arm as she wriggles and starts to yell.

Do not touch me, do not touch me, I’m pregnant!” Cooks begs as she’s pushed against a chain link fence. “What the f--k is going on!”

A second officer comes over and the officer with the camera on asks, “Why are you resisting, ma’am?”

He and the other officer then took her to the ground, stomach down, and handcuffed her behind her back.

“This is ridiculous, what are you doing?” the incredulous Cooks asks. “I didn’t even do anything wrong.”

"I don't think I've ever been that terrified in my life," Cooks recently told the Dispatch. "I never saw that coming. I told him I was pregnant so he could proceed with caution. That didn't happen and the first thing I thought was I didn't want to fall to the ground. I felt the pressure on my stomach from falling and I was calling for help. But those guys are supposed to help me. But who is supposed to help me when they are attacking me?"

Cooks was put in the back of a police cruiser and later booked on a charge of resisting or obstructing a police officer, a charge later tossed by a judge.

The officer involved in the incident is shown on video recounting for another officer what happened.
“I gave her a minute to give up her name and I went to put her under arrest and she resisted arrest,” he said. “That’s all there is to it.”' [See video and story here]

Yep, "That's all there is to it."

Unbelievable!

Brother Field, did she actually think she would get the same consideration as the blonde? Yep, she sure did. How stupid!

Furthermore, she was provoking the cops by her eff'd up attitude. Nevertheless, I understand how she emotionally lost it.

As Blacks we have got to find the inner strength to 'suck it up' when the cops arrive. It's a given we won't be treated fairly...EVER! Those cops are no different than the cops who killed Freddie Gray. It's in white blood to treat Blacks for who they think we are, "blah", as PX and Santorum calls us.

It's no fun being Black in America...

I am sure JOSH will love this post.

Blacks say phuck the police. Police say phuck blacks and then you get the wild wild jungle. Because without police blacks are unable to stop themselves from wilding.

Every city where Blacks protest, police should withdraw and leave them to each other.

“There was a shooting down the street, and the man was standing in the middle of the street with a gun, just shooting,” Lee added. “Usually, you can’t walk up and down the street drinking or smoking weed. Now, people are everywhere smoking weed, and police just ride by, look at you, and keep going. There used to be police on every corner. I don’t think they’ll be back this summer.”

It isn't state violence when they are stopping violent savages from killing each other - now you know. You're on your own. Africa comes to America.

And why was he arresting her? What was the charge? Her statement should have been "let me call my lawyer and see if I have to give up my identification". $50 says that encounter would have gone much differently.

Well, your sister is a lawyer and the cops still took your blah ass to jail in Chicago. So quit trying to play big shot. You are "blah", remember?

The point is she is Black and anything can happen when there is an encounter with the police. It doesn't matter if she had a lawyer or not.

Yep, they took me to jail and I was out within the hour and when my lawyer called the station the cop nearly shit his pants. He was talking big shit on the drive over but punked out when the phone rang. Like I said, cops act totally different when a lawyer is involved. BTW, I wasn't arrested in Chicago.

Or how about this, let people live wherever the hell they want. Seems our buddy SF wants to back to the days of slavery. That's mighty white of her, wanna bet she's a Republican?

Anonymous said...

PX I can tell you know nothing about SF. In SF you don't have to be a Republican to be a racist. Actually, Democratic racists outnumber the Republicans in the category of racism.

Nevertheless, the Bay Area is crawling with racists in SF, Oakland, and Berkeley and other places along that corridor.

FYI, Republicans here match Dems when it comes to race...both for and against.

The strangest and weirdest thing about racism in the bay area is there are more uncle toms in one area i have ever seen. They sell-out their brothers and sisters without shame.

There is no place more racist than SF. Surely you have read about the racial profiling by the SF cops?

SF NorCal is a white democrat who is racist to the core.

Earlier, you covered those two gentlemen from Colorado who refused to give ID and were arrested as a result. In that case, I believe the civilians were in the wrong and they did need to show ID. The cops have do the right to demand ID from motorists in most, if not all, states.

But in this case, the cop was in the wrong. The woman was not a motorist and did have the right in this situation to refuse to give ID. (I'm not sure why she felt she shouldn't provide ID, but it is her right to refuse.) She had committed no crime; she'd simply had an argument with a school staff member.

The weird thing is it seems like the cops sort of knew this. He was unsure of what the rules were, and called his superiors for verification, but then got impatient and decided to bust her anyway, regardless of what the rules might be. On top of that, he slams her into the ground? Obviously, I wasn't there so I can't know for sure, but even if he'd had the right to arrest her (he didn't), was it really necessary to use that much force against a pregnant woman? Doubtful.

It's crazy that what should have been a polite conversation unnecessarily turned into a violent incident. This cop should be sent back for retraining on the basics of how to deal with the public.

They won't be getting a bonus. They might get disciplined and possibly fired.

The taxpayers will likely be writing the pregnant woman a big, fat check after she sues them.

Yay?

Still, the white residents of Barstow are probably free from an impending influx of black residents in any event, because Barstow is a lame backwater town in the middle of the desert. I guess that's always an option if you're a redneck who truly can't cope with the demands of being around brown people: Go to live in a shithole.

I think Cain has basically bowed out of the race, so it looks like your dream team will not be realized. :) I guess ol' Herman couldn't handle being mercilessly mocked a second time. A resume of running a pizza chain and groping unwilling women isn't particularly good preparation for the White House.

Fortunately for our nation's comedians, there's still plenty of fodder for comedy among the rest of the Republican field of candidates. Hell, Rick "Brain Fart" Perry might even run again. That ought to be good for at least a few laughs.

Dr. Ramos, PHD said...

Black privilege doesn't excuse blacks from the human race. At no time, in any of these incidents that fn posts about, do we see black people behaving in a civilized matter. None.

Democrats have taught blacks that they can't help themselves and therefore they can't/shouldn't be held responsible for their actions. The results are a race of people who are out of control and think they can act anyways with consequences for their actions.


History shows Daniel Patrick Moynihan was right about blacks. Blacks and most liberals called him racist and destroyed him.Daniel Patrick Moynihan deserves an apology from all blacks and white liberals.

Mother, 7-Year-Old Son Killed In Baltimore Shooting

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Shock and sadness in a Southwest Baltimore community after a double murder. One of the victims — just seven-years-old.
Derek Valcourt has more on the victims and where the investigation stands right now.
Family members look on in horror as the bodies of the mother and her young son are pulled from their home at 103 Upmanor Road in the Uplands neighborhood of Southwest Baltimore.
Jennifer Jeffrey Browne, 31, and her seven-year-old son Kester “Tony” Browne were found dead just after 8 a.m. Thursday — both shot in the head.
Neighbors — appalled.
“Who can do this? What kind of person is he?” asked Donald Barber.

In March 2015 American cops shot more citizens in that one month than U.K. cops did in the entire twentieth century. Think about that, there were 1200 months in the 20th century.

"Au contraire mon gros petit ami, there has been mountains of explanations."

Sorry, but no educated person takes seriously reports that exonerate an institution of wrongdoing that were commissioned by the institutions themselves, institutions that receive tens of millions in federal global warming research funding. That would be like BP handpicking and paying a panel of experts to investigate its handling of the Macondo oil spill. No one would accept it at face value when such a panel cleared BP. Likewise, no one with any sense ignores the facts and pretends the global warming science is valid after reading the Climategate emails for themselves.

But you do, because you are a True Believer.

Real science doesn't need to perform "tricks" with data or have to "hide the decline".

I'll bet you believe Hillary when she says there was nothing on her email server that should concern the American people, or that payments made to her husband from foreign interests she was involved with as Secretary of State did not influence her decisions.

What's the one thing all the organizations you listed have in common? They all have a direct financial interest in the Global Warming industry, almost every single one through direct government funding. What might you expect their opinion to be as to whether or not they should continue to receive that funding?

Incidentally, I see you have given up arguing the science. You are now left only with arguing that no less than SEVEN independent commissions one of which was peopled by scientists taken from list provided by climate change deniers ALL lied.

There is no "science" when you are fraudulently manipulating data.

Good thing there has been no actual warming in the past 19 years.

"Theres absolutely nothing in those Emails to suggest to any sane and rational person that fraud was committed."

Email sent on May 29, 2008 from Phil Jones, director of East Anglia's CRU, to Michael Mann, under the subject line "IPCC & FOI,":

"Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith [Briffa] re AR4 [the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report]? Keith will do likewise . . . can you also email Gene [Wahl, an employee of the U.S. Department of Commerce] to do the same . . . We will be getting Caspar [Amman, of the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research] to do likewise."

Phil Jones emailed later that he had "deleted loads of emails" so that anyone who might bring a Freedom of Information Act request would get very little. The "independent" investigators who compiled the University of East Anglia-commissioned Russell Report never even asked Jones or his colleagues whether they had actually done this.

Why would someone delete "loads of emails" if not to cover up fraud? Why would an investigative team evaluating whether or not fraud had been committed not even ask this question?

In the eyes of a racist this is true. In the eyes of everyone else, not so much..

The Purple Cow said...

Bigfoot, I know you can't help yourself but you are being disingenuous again. Jones's Email was a response to many freedom of information requests already received by a variety of Climate change denier nutcases, especially one organization called Climate Audit, who had misrepresented Jones's work and views in the past. It was not a pre-emptive strike against FoI requests as you infer.

Jones was worried that C.A. would again misuse or quote out of context his work again.

If you quote the entire passage, this becomes abundantly obvious.

""When the FOI requests began here, the FOI person said we had to abide by the requests. It took a couple of half hour sessions - one at a screen, to convince them otherwise showing them what CA [Climate Audit] was all about... I don't know who else at UEA may be getting them... We're away of requests going to others in the UK.

"The inadvertent email I sent last month has led to a Data Protection Act request sent by a certain Canadian, saying that the email maligned his scientific credibility with his peers! If he pays 10 pounds (which he hasn't yet) I am supposed to go through my emails and he can get anything I've written about him. About 2 months ago I deleted loads of emails, so have very little - if anything at all. This legislation is different from the FOI - it is supposed to be used to find put why you might have a poor credit rating !

"In response to FOI and EIR requests, we've put up some data - mainly paleo data. Each request generally leads to more - to explain what we've put up. Every time, so far, that hasn't led to anything being added - instead just statements saying read what is in the papers and what is on the web site! ... We've never sent programs, any codes and manuals.

"In the UK, the Research Assessment Exercise results will be out in 2 weeks time. These are expensive to produce and take too much time, so from next year we'll be moving onto a metric based system. The metrics will be # and amounts of grants, papers and citations etc. I did flippantly suggest that the # of FOI requests you get should be another."

Why disparities in dental care persist for African-Americans even when they have insurance coverage


African Americans receive poorer dental care than white Americans, even when they have some dental insurance coverage. To better understand why this is so, researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and the College of Dental Medicine, surveyed African American adults with recent oral health symptoms, including toothaches and gum disease. Their findings provide insights into why disparities persist even among those with dental insurance and suggest strategies to removing barriers to dental care.

West Virginia, however, ranked either last or second-to-last in 20 categories, including cancer, child immunization, diabetes, disabilities, drug deaths, teeth loss, low birth weight, missed work days due to health, prescription drug overdose, preventable hospitalizations, and senior clinical care.[105] Wisconsin Population Health Institute annual "Health Rankings" for 2012 showed West Virginia spends $9,671 per capita on health care annually. El Salvador spends just $467, yet both have the same life expectancy.[106] In 2012, according to the Census Bureau, West Virginia was the only state where death rates exceeds birth rates. During 2010-2013, about 21,000 babies per year were born in West Virginia, but there were 24,000 deaths.[99] In demographics, this is called a "net mortality society."

So if you call someone who is questioning your tricked-out data a "denier nutcase", everything is just supposed to go away? Does that work in court? Apparently it does work if you commission an investigation that only talks to one side of the case.

The data was compiled with government funds and is supposed to made available to anyone interested in researching global warming. If there is nothing wrong with your data, then releasing it would only bolster your conclusions, end dissent on this issue, and unite us all in combating the scourge of economic freedom.

But that's not what they did. They deleted emails, withheld data, and and subverted the peer review and editorial process by bullying journals who published papers at odds with what they thought the "proper" take on global warming should be.

The truth doesn't need to be defended like that.

You can repeat lies time and again, but that doesn't magically make them true. Climate Audit is not interested in researching climate change, it's a blog written by a retired mining consultant. A blog that had knowingly misrepresented Jones's views on several previous occasions.

EIGHT INDEPENDENT BOARDS OF ENQUIRY - INCLUDING ONE STAFFED BY SCIENTISTS RECOMMENDED BY CLIMATE CHANGE DENIERS - INVESTIGATED THIS INCIDENT, EVERY SINGLE ONE FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN NO INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY.

Secondly where is your evidence that they subverted the peer-review system? Where is your evidence that they bullied journalists?

But there has been no increase in global temperatures in almost 19 years, despite this being the period of time with the greatest rate of anthropogenic CO2 production.

This observed reality is at odds with every single climate model and was not predicted by anyone.

Why should we trust people who tell us we need to remain in a hysterical state of alarm over a problem that apparently does not exist? Especially when those people have so much to gain if they can keep us in a perpetual state of alarm?

The Purple Cow said...

I was referring not to Climate Audit, but to the journal Climate Research, which is (or at least was) a respected scientific journal.

In 2003, Willie Soon of the Smithsonian Institution and Sallie Baliunas of Harvard published a paper in the journal Climate Research that took exception to Michael Mann's work, work which also was at variance with a large number of independent studies of paleoclimate. So it would seem the Soon-Baliunas paper was just part of the normal to-and-fro of science. But the Climatic Research Unit (CRU)—the source of the Climategate emails— was not going to abide any dissent on such an important issue.

Phil Jones wrote Michael Mann on March 11, 2003, that:

"I'll be emailing the journal to tell them I'm having nothing more to do with it until they rid themselves of this troublesome editor," Chris de Freitas of the University of Auckland."

Mann responded to Jones on the same day:

"I think we should stop considering 'Climate Research' as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues . . . to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal. We would also need to consider what we tell or request our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on the editorial board."

Mann ultimately wrote to Jones on July 11, 2003, that:

"I think the community should . . . terminate its involvement with this journal at all levels . . . and leave it to wither away into oblivion and disrepute."

Climate Research and several other journals thereafter stopped accepting anything that substantially challenged the received wisdom on global warming perpetuated by the CRU. That's how "science" rolls these days.

No one is telling you anything, climate scientists are reporting the global temperatures year after year and comparing them to previous times i.e. doing their jobs. It is conservatives who use hyperbolic terms to dismiss the findings by the vast majority of climate scientists. If they are proven wrong they will be harmed so it is in their interests to provide the most accurate data possible. I mean unless of course 90+% of global climatologists are all involved in a vast conspiracy.

PilotX said...

"Because a plot of global temperatures over the past 18+ years shows no upward trend.."

So because of this you are telling us temperatures will remain constant for the foreseeable future or is this a pause or is the atmosphere a very complex environment that doesn't lead to straightline reactions due to advanced levels of CO2? Or maybe the planet is cooling? Please explain what the 18 year "pause" means.

But for the record if the past year was warmer than the previous that is an upward tick.

PilotX said...

Also, there has never been a consensus that says we will continue to see linear temperature increases. In fact there may be colder and harsher winters on some parts of the planet due to the desalinization of the oceans and the "cooling" of some warm water currents that keep some parts of the globe temperate. These ideas have been postulated previously. We can take the James Inhofe path and make snowballs and therefore conclude warming is a hoax or we can understand there are very complex interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans and go from there. 18 years isn't a good time sample which is why climatologists work with 30 year normals. 18 years is just a little over halfway there, before we make any conclusions let's wait a bit and see where we are.

Yes, I've heard it before, no matter what happens, it's due to carbon emissions. If it gets colder, hotter, wetter, dryer, or stays the same, too many hurricanes, not enough hurricanes, it's all proof of "climate change".

"18 years is just a little over halfway there, before we make any conclusions let's wait a bit and see where we are."

Excellent idea PilotX. In the mean time, let's not levy trillions in job-killing carbon taxes and regulations, let people decide what kind of energy they wish to use, and stop scaring little kids with climate propaganda. Al Gore and Leo DeCaprio can keep all their megamansions and private jets and not worry that they are personally killing the planet. I'm pretty sure the Earth will still be habitable in 12 years and we can go from there.

more hyperbole. great, let's bring up Al Gore. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and until we understand the true extent of its influence I think it's better we try to curb our use of it. Environmental regulations are important and I'm not so sure they will kill jobs but better some job loss than possible irreversible damage to the planet?

---------------------------------------------------
Yes dumbass, here's why because we all know you're too stupid to find out on your own.


"Why does NOAA produce Normals?

NOAA's computation of climate Normals is in accordance with the recommendation of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), of which the United States is a member. While the WMO mandates each member nation to compute 30-year averages of meteorological quantities at least every 30 years (1931 - 1960, 1961 - 1990, 1991 - 2020, etc.), the WMO recommends a decadal update, in part to incorporate newer weather stations. Further, NOAA's NCDC has a responsibility to fulfill the mandate of Congress "... to establish and record the climatic conditions of the United States." This responsibility stems from a provision of the Organic Act of October 1, 1890, which established the Weather Bureau as a civilian agency (15 U.S.C. 311). (top)
What are Normals used for?

Meteorologists and climatologists regularly use Normals for placing recent climate conditions into a historical context. NOAA's Normals are commonly seen on local weather news segments for comparisons with the day's weather conditions. In addition to weather and climate comparisons, Normals are utilized in seemingly countless applications across a variety of sectors. These include: regulation of power companies, energy load forecasting, crop selection and planting times, construction planning, building design, and many others."

The symbolism of the curvaceous fertile mother earth figure in contrast to the barren, frail, pale conniving little guttersnipe is beyond the pale of comprehension for the majority of low status euro peons. The earth is hurting and there seems to be no relief in sight. Nobody in this tragedy woke up with ill intent but, this unfortunate instance represents the classic way racism works and should not be ignored. Classical, situational, institutional racism. MS. White feels slighted by Ms. Black, calls cop. Ms. Black seeks justice awaits mediation. Cop arrives on scene, listens to Ms. White, criminalizes Ms. Black.

Just think if the perpetrator had of been a black man! Who knows what that cop would have done. You know: (Cue trembling voice. )"I feared for my life! That old meanie! I was afraid blah, blah, blah. (Cut to eyes tearing, looks to officer.) My hero! Thank goodness you're here, you big strong man!" (Sunset, music, body bag, fade to black)

I believe both women wrong. The little Chihuahua admitted she had her blinkers on. Therefore she was obviously signaling a turn that, everybody knows, requires her to yield the right of way to oncoming traffic. She should have waited until it was safe to pass and then proceeded to park. Unfortunately for the other driver, white privilege will always win in territorial disputes ( see Manifest Destiny ). However, ignorance of the law is no excuse and the woman victimized by the oppressor's intermediary, aka the cops, should have just left the parking lot as no crime occurred and she had no obligation to stick around. Her mistake was that she thought justice should be administered fairly and equally. I mean, who does that?!

Finally, poor Deputy Barney Schwarzenfeiffer (is it me or did he sound like the Arnold?) bless his heart, just wasn't prepared and didn't know what to do. I assume he needed the names of both women to complete his report. But what do you do when no crime was committed? That's right boys and girls you create one; "Thanks for playing… Johnny tell'em what they won."


Are racists so intoxicated by their lust for power and control that they are incapable of feelings for a pregnant woman? We, as people of color, find ourselves in a sadomasochistic abusive relationship where the louder we cry the harder they whip. We are constantly reminded that there is not much room at the table and that what little room be provided should come at a price most are unable or unwilling to pay, so stay in your place.

Couple of weeks ago, a kid my daughter knows at college got jumped by three black guys as he came home late studying during finals week. Didn't know them, never saw them coming, never traded a word with them, but they knocked him right out and kicked him repeatedly as he lay on the ground, breaking several ribs. A cab driver driving by saw them kicking him and thought he was dead. His face was so bloody and swollen his sister couldn't recognize him at the hospital. His left cheek was torn from the corner of his mouth almost to his ear.

These guys did not know him and did this to him solely because he was white. Such hatred for a stranger is incomprehensible.
