How Did Victor White III Die in the Backseat of a Cop Car in New Iberia, Louisiana? Photos courtesy of the White family The night Victor White Sr.’s son died in the backseat of a cop car in New Iberia, Louisiana, he called the local sheriff’s station to figure out where his boy was. “I asked them if he’d been apprehended, and they told me no,” he said to me. It wasn’t until the following morning, March 3, that Victor Sr. found out his son, Victor White III, had been arrested and died while in police custody. Immediately, of course, Victor Sr. made the two-hour drive from his home in Alexandria down to New Iberia to find out what the hell was going on. “They wouldn’t even let me see the body,” Victor Sr. told me over the phone. Still completely in the dark about what had taken place, Victor drove back home in utter shock. Here’s what is known at this point: On Sunday, March 2, Victor White III walked down to a convenience store with a friend to pick up a cigar. “We believe they murdered him," he told me over the phone. “He was a respectable person.
Grisly Video of Police Shooting Homeless Man Sparks New Mexico Protests If brand-new Albuquerque police chief Gorden Eden won’t admit overuse of deadly force in the recent shooting of James Boyd, Santa Fe residents hope the point will be driven home — literally — when they bring a hearse to town on Tuesday. Novelist Frances Madeson is organizing the funeral procession that will leave Santa Fe in the afternoon and head to neighboring Albuquerque. There, Madeson intends to join the 6 PM protest planned against the police killing of Boyd, a homeless and mentally ill man APD discovered illegally camping out in the Sandia foothills. “New Mexico is a small state and the police culture here seems to be growing more paramilitary in nature,” Madeson told VICE News, “What happens in another city does affect us if we let it go unchecked.” APD chief Eden was sworn in this February after the former chief resigned amid a growing police brutality scandal. Police said that Boyd had threatened to kill officers at the scene and he had a long criminal record.
NOGALES, Mexico: Questions still unanswered about U.S. Border Patrol’s killing of 16-year-old | Courts & Crime NOGALES, Mexico — Sixteen-year-old Jose Antonio Elena got the kind of punishment that those who toss rocks at Border Patrol agents receive with startling frequency: He was shot with a .40-caliber round from an agent’s service weapon. The bullet hit Elena in the back of the head. He slumped mortally wounded to a sidewalk on the Mexican side, a few paces from the border fence. At least two agents, perched on the U.S. side about 20 feet above the street and shielded by the fence’s closely spaced iron bars, continued to fire, witnesses said. In all, 10 bullets struck Elena, spattering a wall behind him with blood. Yet Jose Antonio Elena may not have tossed any rocks at all. The Border Patrol has a video of the events that night, Oct. 10, 2012. Elena’s killing is one in a string of what critics say are unnecessary killings by Border Patrol agents along the U.S. border with Mexico. Border Patrol chief Michael J. A spokesman for the U.S. Among them was municipal K-9 officer John V.

NYPD Cop Attacks Man for Video Recording Him, Deleting his Footage, but Man Recovers Footage (Updated) A New York City cop beat up and arrested a man for video recording him inside a subway station from 30 feet away Saturday night, walking up to him and getting in his face all while claiming the man was invading his personal space. Officer Rojas, shield number 23404, then deleted the video, never mentioning the camera once in his arrest report, claiming the man had physically interfered with another arrest he was making. But after spending 24 hours in jail, Shawn Randall Thomas managed to recover the deleted footage, proving that Rojas is not only a liar, but a bullying thug as well. Thomas also obtained footage from another man who had recorded Rojas with his knees on Thomas’ back as he lay face down on the sidewalk just outside the sub station, seconds after Rojas had bashed his face into the pavement, busting his lip. The injury was so bad that they had to transport him to the hospital twice during his 24-hour incarceration where doctors described him as a victim of assault. Like this:
Cop Slams 70 Year Old, Handcuffed Woman, Face First to the Cement. Harasses the Man Filming It A Youtube video has surfaced from a DUI arrest on a 70 year old women that turns bad when Kevin Jones (badge #149) of the Glynn County police is trying to cuff the woman. She was taken down, and did not have her arms to break the force that Jones decided to use on her. The sound is unsettling to say the least. The simple act of filming this atrocity has led to the story being covered by the local news. One week after the incident, The Florida Times Union covered the story. Chief Matt Doering said he had taken officer Kevin Jones off patrol until the investigation is complete. Kathleen Mary Allegrone, 70, whose Dec. 5 arrest is under review by the Glynn County Police Department, is shown in her booking photo from the Glynn County jail. This is a disgusting display of excessive force by police. Comments comments
