Police went to the Hopkins residence to serve a warrant on a 27-year-old at the home who was accused of molesting a foster child. Fred, a gun enthusiast who was disbarred a couple of decades ago, decided to have a standoff with the police and he’s still alive.
Fred Hopkins should be alive. This isn’t advocating for the police to kill people who get in their way of serving a warrant. This is just reminding everyone that the police are more than capable of apprehending suspects alive, as they did this 74-year-old white man in an affluent neighborhood. Police regularly serve warrants in Black neighborhoods by dressing up in SWAT gear and ramming through front doors shooting whoever happens to be nearby, which is what happened to 7 year old Aiyana Stanley-Jones who was sleeping on a couch when the cops conducted a raid to arrest one person.
Not that I really did before, but I won’t be entertaining any conversations attempting to justify deadly measures employed by law enforcement. They apprehend white murderers all the time while killing unarmed Black people who breathe too hard.
He keeps being described as “a disabled veteran”.
And the cop he killed just happens to be black.
Hmmmmmmm, wonder why he isn’t being publicly crucified? 🤔🤔🤔
Here’s Cameron Terrell, a rich white boy who lives in a million dollar neighborhood, who joined a gang in LA. He drove himself and 2 other gang members in his fathers luxury Mercedes Benz to a rival gang territory to do a drive by. After spotting a young black male (Justin Holmes) standing outside, Cameron and his 2 new gang buddies decided to kill him. Cameron is not in jail like the other 2 young black males who committed this crime with him (his parents were able to post his $500k bond and has been enjoying a home school education since October). Cameron was acquitted because they said he was just fascinated with gang life, he read books on gang life, and wanted to see what it was all about. His lawyer said Cameron should not be criticized for being “open-minded” about friends who “walk a different path”.
His lawyers said that Terrell could not have possibly been aware of the other two men’s intentions to commit murder because if he was, he wouldn’t have taken his daddy’s car….the most bullshit excuse I’ve heard all day. There are people losing years of their life in jail for selling weed but this dumb white boy gets off scot free for driving the getaway car in a murder.
And when he gets older and like kills/ abuse his girlfriend/wife people are deadass going to say he was a good boy he never did anything wrong.
just to add, he says this incident has “given him a newfound love for the law” and plans to go to law school in the future so he can help future dumb privileged white boys like himself get off scot free for the crimes they commit. Passing it forward 🙃🙃
This is how racism is still continuing in America. This piss ant is going to grow up and with his family Connection maybe become a judge one day and give a light sentence to a Brock Turner type of kid. Because he sees himself in the person.
I’m tired.
I know somebody facing life for letting his friends borrow his car not knowing they were going to commit a murder… This is ridiculous
I listen to the podcast Ear Hustle and the main host is a black inmate facing 36 to life for driving a getaway car in a ROBBERY. This white dude assisted in a MURDER. I fucking hate this country and I fucking hate white supremacy.
This happened today in #portland when the #portlandpolice #intentionally fired a #teargas cannister at the head of a #person of #color to #inflict a #fatal wound when there was no #violence from the #left as they #protected #fascists who came into the #city to start #violence. #racistcops
One of the protesters had a stun grenade fired into the back of their head. I am confident it would have been fatal had they not been wearing a helmet. The grenade lodged in the helmet and appears to have been fired horizontally at close range. There is no way it was accidental.
Mr. Hill, a 30-year-old African-American, was fatally shot by a white sheriff’s deputy who had responded to a noise complaint about music Mr. Hill had been playing in his garage. Toxicology reports showed Mr. Hill was drunk at the time. And after a brief encounter with the deputies, he was discovered dead inside the garage with a gun in his back pocket; the deputies said he had been holding it during their confrontation, though that claim is in dispute. Mr. Hill had been shot three times by one of the deputies, Christopher Newman.
Among other things, a federal jury hearing a wrongful-death lawsuit brought by Mr. Hill’s family was asked to decide whether his constitutional rights had been violated and whether his estate should be awarded damages. How much, jurors were asked, were the pain and suffering of Mr. Hill’s three children worth?
Last week, the jurors delivered their verdict. Deputy Newman had not used excessive force, they concluded, but the St. Lucie County sheriff, Ken Mascara, had been ever so slightly negligent given Deputy Newman’s actions. The jury awarded $4 in damages: $1 for funeral expenses and $1 for each child’s loss.
Because jurors also found that the sheriff’s office was only 1 percent at fault in the death, that award was reduced to four cents. And furthermore, because jurors found that Mr. Hill was intoxicated and mostly to blame for the shooting, a lawyer for his family said Tuesday that a judge would reduce the four-cent award to nothing.
“I don’t get it,” the family lawyer, John M. Phillips, said.
A GoFundMe was set up for the family here. The fact that the meager $4 was reduced to 4 cents only illustrates how little they seem to think a human life is worth. When the police can take in armed white terrorists alive but kill a black man over a noise complaint, it only hammers home the message that it’s dangerous to be a person of color in the United States.
“Bitch-ass motherfucker, fucking shoot at us,” a Chicago police officer told the bloodied, dying body of Paul O’Neal, an 18-year-old black man who was, to be clear, unarmed when officers shot and killed him on July 28.
Two Brooklyn cops sideswiped a parked SUV, then arrested a man sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle, accusing him of damaging their car, a suit charges.
And the officers would have gotten away with their lie — had the whole bizarre drama not been caught by a security camera.
Robert Jackson, 31, told The Post his nightmare began when a police car heading the wrong way on one-way Watkins Street in Brownsville scraped against a parked Ford Explorer, which belongs to his girlfriend. Jackson, a maintenance worker, said he was sitting in the legally parked car outside of his apartment when the accident happened. He got out of the vehicle and walked up to the officers.
“I was smiling, like, ‘How’d you run into me?’ ” he recalled. “Then the cop said, ‘Dude, you ran into me.’ ”
“I just wanted them to fix the damage and apologize, but it didn’t turn out that way,” Jackson said. “They were trying to cover it up.” At that point, things got even more surreal.
The two cops checked the block for surveillance cameras before arresting him for destruction of city property, according to the lawsuit filed by Jackson in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
“When they thought no cameras were on. I saw their gloves go on, and that’s when I was arrested,” Jackson said.
But fortunately for Jackson, the officers, Christopher Oliver and Shazad Shigri, missed one camera on the home of one of his neighbors, Jackson said.
