@gamer00 Has Offered Me 1000 Steem if I Can Post 1000 Stories About Racist Policing in the U.S. (pt 9)

So @gamer00 has finally responded. He is deflecting, ignoring and making excuses. I knew he would do this. I never expected him to honor the bet he proposed.
You can see this poor excuse for a human show his lack of integrity as he attempts to weasel out of paying up in the thread I will link below. He has only commented on the first thread, so far. He says he found a mistake in a couple of the cases in the first set of 100, so now he simply refuses to read the rest. I have offered to provide replacement cases for any that he feels don't meet his strict qualifications for what constitutes racist policing, but he claims that would be against the rules. (He has been making up all kinds of new rules.)

I have decided that even after I post 1000 cases, I am going to continue posting more. Maybe someone can translate @gamer00's rules accurately enough to pick through several thousand cases and select the ones that would meet his ridiculously high standard for what constitutes racist policing.

So here's 50 more cases of what I believe to be racist policing. Please read them all.

1. November 17, 2016 Boynton Beach, FL: The City approved a $600,000 lawsuit settlement with Byron Harris, who was kicked and beaten during his arrest.
2. October 12, 2016 McIntosh County, GA: The findings of an investigation made public exposed that a McIntosh County, Georgia, sheriff’s deputy lost his job because he and a fellow deputy regularly exchanged racist Facebook messages revealing that they specifically targeted Black drivers at traffic stops.
3. November 14, 2016 New York, NY: An accused murderer is still fighting for justice after he was wrongly arrested four years ago for a crime he did not commit. Now, the detective who arrested him is the focus of an Internal Affairs investigation looking at whether crucial video evidence that exonerated the man had been withheld. Detective Carlos Faulkner of the 44th Precinct in the Bronx claims he has no memory of Enger Javier, who he wrongly arrested and sent to Rikers Island for two years in a 2012 stabbing death of a Bronx man in a McDonald's parking lot. "Hour after hour, he kept coming back in the room," Javier said. "'Oh, we know it was you. Say it was you. We already know it was you. Say it was you.'" Javier never confessed, but days later, he was charged with murder even though Faulkner had video that showed the victim being chased by his attackers. The video shows Javier off to the side drinking a soda and not part of the chase. It took more than three years for Faulkner and the Bronx district attorney to admit to having that key piece of evidence. "They should have given my lawyers those videos right away," Javier said. "They waited almost four years to turn those in. Because they knew I was doing nothing in those videos." Last year, after Eyewitness News aired the video and reported that DNA from the victim's fingernails proved Javier was not the source, the murder charges were dropped. Not long after, the private investigator who played a key role in proving Javier's innocence got a call from the NYPD Internal Affairs. "He said to me that they're investigating Detective Carlos Faulkner of the NYPD 44th Precinct for misconduct, possible misconduct and police corruption regarding the Enger Javier case," Manny Gomez said. It was a case that Faulkner says he did not recall when The Investigators confronted him about the Internal Affairs investigation. "I'd like them to get investigated, arrested, you know?" Javier said. "They shouldn't have a job." So who, then, are the real killers? They've never been arrested, even though Gomez says he has sworn testimony of six witnesses identifying them, as well as video of one of the alleged killer's answering his knock on an apartment door. "I've pointed out who the killers are to the 44th Precinct and to homicide as well," Gomez said. "Not only to homicide, but I've pointed out to Internal Affairs, and still, nothing has been done. These killers are still out there, and other people have been killed because of them." In a statement, the NYPD said it is conducting an internal review of the case, but that Faulkner's status "has not changed" and that the murder case is still active.
4. August 6, 2014 Tulsa, OK: A now-former officer was sentenced to one year for a weapons conviction. He was tried for the fatal shooting of his daughter’s boyfriend when he was off duty. The jury hung on the murder count.
5. August 2, 2017: The assistant police chief of Estherwood, Louisiana, was recently forced to resign in disgrace after a racist Facebook post became public knowledge. His firing is one of many related to racist texts or emails from law enforcement officers, as police departments try to get a handle on racism in their ranks. Wayne Welsh reportedly put up a post on Monday, sharing an old-fashioned style picture of a white woman pushing a little girl's head underwater in a bathtub, with the following caption, “When your daughters [sic] first crush is a little Negro boy." Welsh's Facebook account (which appears to have been deleted) was public, and the post quickly made its way to social media.
6. November 15, 2016 Traverse City, Michigan: An officer was suspended after driving a truck with Confederate battle flag near anti-Trump protesters in an incident off duty. He resigned.
7. December 18, 2014: Calling it a “great and fundamental injustice,” a South Carolina judge on Wednesday vacated the 1944 murder conviction of 14-year-old George J. Stinney Jr., the youngest person executed in the United States in the last century. Judge Carmen T. Mullen of Circuit Court did not rule that the conviction of Mr. Stinney for the murder of two white girls in the town of Alcolu was wrong on the merits. She did find, however, that the prosecution had failed in numerous ways to safeguard the constitutional rights of Mr. Stinney, who was black, from the time he was taken into custody until his death by electrocution. The all-white jury could not be considered a jury of the teenager’s peers, Judge Mullen ruled, and his court-appointed attorney did “little to nothing” to defend him. His confession was most likely coerced and unreliable, she added, “due to the power differential between his position as a 14-year-old black male apprehended and questioned by white, uniformed law enforcement in a small, segregated mill town in South Carolina.”
8. November 15, 2016 Evansville, Indiana: Four officers were suspended after their use of force during an arrest. Their reports were contradicted by camera footage of the incident.
9. November 23, 2016, Canton, MI: A police officer has been suspended with pay amid an investigation into racist remarks he is accused of making against black people on Facebook.

10. July 1, 2014 Seattle, WA: An officer was fired for punching a handcuffed detainee in the face while she was detained in a patrol car.
11. November 10, 2016 St. Paul, MN: A St. Paul police officer who was seen on video kicking a black man during an incident in June is no longer employed by the St. Paul Police Department, Police Chief Todd Axtell said Monday. Axtell said Brett Palkowitsch is no longer employed and that there is also a complaint and open investigation. The news is in response to a dash cam video released Friday by St. Paul police showing an incident in which a black man was bitten by a K-9 and kicked by a police officer. The incident happened just after 10 p.m. June 24 on the 1800 block of East Seventh Street in St. Paul. During a news conference Friday afternoon, St. Paul Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Mike Ernster said police were responding to a fight involving a large group of people and were told one person had a gun. Ernster said a K-9 officer apprehended a man, and other officers arrived at the scene. They told the man to keep his hands visible, but he either could not or would not comply, Ernster said. One of the responding officers – identified as Palkowitsch – kicked the man in the ribs three times, police say. The man was then handcuffed and found to be needing medical attention. He was taken to Regions Hospital, where he spent two weeks recovering. The man's attorney says the man had serious bites to his leg, multiple broken ribs and collapsed lungs. Police say no gun was found on the man or in the surrounding scene. In a Facebook message Friday morning, Police Chief Todd Axtell said he is “disappointed and upset” by what the video shows. The incident happened a day after he took office. “When I became chief, I promised to do everything possible to ensure that the people we serve have faith in their police department," Axtell said in his statement. "I want you all to know that the video does not reflect the way we strive to do our jobs — day in, day out. This is not the Saint Paul way.” During the news conference, Axtell said releasing the video was "the right thing to do." "After this incident, I met with the man injured in the video while he was still in the hospital," Axtell said. "At that time, I assured and promised him a full review was being conducted. I met with him again today in my office and offered my deepest apologies on behalf of the police department." Axtell said the K-9 officer, identified as Brian Ficcadenti, was suspended for 30 days even though a civilian review commission recommended 10 days. His suspension went into effect Thursday, Nov. 3.
12. July 28, 2014: The Minneapolis Civil Service Commission has upheld the firings of two police officers for what the department said was serious misconduct in a confrontation in Green Bay, Wisconsin, last year.

Deputies say Febus was working in the holding area of the Pasco County Jail in New Port Richey on Sept. 14 when an inmate caused a disturbance by kicking and punching the door of his holding cell.

On Wednesday, Philly resident Evan Parish Matthews posted photos on Facebook of the officer, Ian Hans Lichtermann of Northeast Philadelphia’s second precinct. The pictures of Lichtermann show what appears to be part of the official insignia of Adolph Hitler’s Nazi Party on the left forearm: an eagle with outstretched wings, topped by the word “Fatherland.” Lichtermann hasn’t responded to any media inquiries about the tattoos, even hanging up on a Philly.com reporter who contacted him on his cellphone. He’s also been deleting his social media accounts, including Instagram and Flickr, according to The Daily Dot, which discovered Lichtermann’s handle was “Panzerhund0311,” a reference to the Nazi Panzer tanks used in World War II and the 0311 Marine infantry code for a rifleman. In 2010, Lichtermann’s name showed up in a hacked database of visitors to neo-Nazi and white supremacist websites, according to OnePeoplesProject.com.

42. August 10, 2016 jusice.gov: Justice Department Announces Findings of Investigation into Baltimore Police Department: Justice Department Finds a Pattern of Civil Rights Violations by the Baltimore Police Department. The Justice Department announced today that it found reasonable cause to believe that the Baltimore City Police Department (BPD) engages in a pattern or practice of conduct that violates the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution as well as federal anti-discrimination laws. BPD makes stops, searches and arrests without the required justification; uses enforcement strategies that unlawfully subject African Americans to disproportionate rates of stops, searches and arrests; uses excessive force; and retaliates against individuals for their constitutionally-protected expression. The pattern or practice results from systemic deficiencies that have persisted within BPD for many years and has exacerbated community distrust of the police, particularly in the African-American community. The city and the department have also entered into an agreement in principle to work together, with community input, to create a federal court-enforceable consent decree addressing the deficiencies found during the investigation.
