Texas cops ransacked the home of Jose and Maria Perez, an elderly couple looking
for drugs, and finding none, forced the husband to set up a
cocaine dealer and took a kilo for themselves, the couple claim in court. They
have sued Hidalgo County, Sheriff Guadalupe "Lupe" Trevino and the
City of Mission in Federal court. Five sheriff's officers, including members of
the unit mentioned in the Perezes' lawsuit, pleaded guilty this week to drug
charges. The complaint reads "In
July 2012, Jose G. Perez and his wife, Maria Guadalupe Perez ... were sitting
in their home when six armed men burst into their home demanding drugs,"
the complaint states. "These invaders were agents and officers of the
Panama Unit of the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Department and officers of the
Mission Police Department. These intruders proceeded to ransack the furniture
and broke open cabinets searching for their illegal prize. When the intruders found nothing in the home
of plaintiffs, they forced the elderly couple into an unmarked SUV, and told
Jose G. Perez to 'call someone that sells drugs or else.'

25-year-old
Cary Ball Jr was shot 25 times by St. Louis, MO. Police.
According to the cops….and only the cops…. Ball… an honor student with a 3.86 GPA,
majoring in human services at Forest Park Community College, where he had been
celebrated as an “emerging scholar.”… refused to pull over for a traffic stop,
crashed into a parked car, and started running. According to cops Ball pointed
a semi-automatic handgun at the cops prompting them to open fire. But several
dozen wittness have sworn that Ball threw his gun on the ground and was walking
toward police with his hands up to surrender when he was shot. The family
suspects that Ball’s older brother, Carlos Ball, probably ran from the police
because, as an ex-convict, it was illegal for him to possess a gun.
A California sheriff's deputy
needlessly tasered and then shot George I. Ramirez
to death after his father
called 911 seeking help for his son's depression, the family claims in court. The father says he
called 911 on April 16, 2012, seeking help for his son. He told the 911
operator that his son was depressed, but never said that the family was in
danger or that a crime was in progress. A cop named Parra responded, finding
the father changing a headlight and the mother indoors doing housework. The
family says Parra asked about the son's whereabouts, but did not ask for
details regarding his condition or why the family called 911. Parra found Ramirez on the couch watching
television, unaware that his family had called 911. Parra confirmed his
identity and placed him under arrest by ordering him to stand up and turn
around, according to the complaint. "In the process of standing up and complying
with orders, Ramirez asked Parra why he was under arrest and if he could see
his credentials," the complaint states. The cop responded by tasering Ramirez
and shot him to death minutes afterwards.
In
New York the State Senate, led by an idiot State Senator Joseph Griffo (R-Rome)
passed
a bill that would make annoying a policeman a felony. “Police cannot do their
jobs if everyone is going to dispute their authority” Griffo the idiot said “We
hope that by making it a felony to annoy an officer those accosted by the
police will learn that the easiest path for them is to just do as they are
told. If there are any legitimate beefs to be dealt with they can be taken up
later by the lawyers.”
