Blog News: Ferguson Cops Let Dog Urinate On Mike Brown Memorial

/ No Comments
Although the situation in Ferguson has shifted slightly in tone in the weeks since the police shooting death of Michael “Big Mike” Brown, there are still disturbing reports emerging from the scene.

According to unnamed sources, Ferguson cops allowed a police dog to relieve itself on a makeshift memorial for Brown before driving over it with their vehicle.

In a letter from Americans Against The Tea Party, the various instances of mistreatment of citizens and protesters by Ferguson forces was laid out in detail.

The letter also included an account from Mother Jones writer Mark Follman where he stated several state and local officials, including Alderman Antonio French,  told him that they and other eyewitnesses saw an unidentified police officer allow the dog he was handling to urinate on the Brown memorial.

Later, mourners and others supporting the brown family returned to the scene to find the flowers and other notes crushed by police cars.

From Americans Against The Tea Party:

After police arrived, several officers along with their trusty dogs approached demonstrators. Mother Jones reports that three state and local officials confirmed that one officer’s contribution to the memorial, where Brown’s mother laid flowers, was a large amount of ammonia and uric acid – and then devastation.

No video has yet emerged to confirm the claims, but given the wanton lack of regard for the humanity of demonstrators it makes sense that police handling the protests would have absolutely no regard for a memorial to the fallen teenager, given the bigoted viewpoints openly expressed by police involved in exacerbating the situation.

The claims made by the group are not without merit, as the aggressive response by heavily armed police in Ferguson and a bevy of reports from demonstrators on the ground said that they too were mistreated.

Ferguson officials have yet to respond to the allegations brought forth on Wednesday.


Suge Knight Shot Multiple Times After VMA Party turns Violent

/ No Comments
Shots rang out at 1OAK nightclub in West Hollywood at around 1:30 AM Sunday ... and Suge Knight was shot twice and taken to the hospital by ambulance where he was rushed into surgery ... eyewitnesses and Suge's family tell TMZ.


A source close to Suge tells us ... he was shot in the stomach and arm and apparently in other places as well.

Tyson Beckford, Robert Ri'chard and Apple de Ap all tell TMZ ... they were inside the pre-VMA party hosted by Chris Brown when they heard 4 shots ring out inside the club.

Suge walked out on his own power ... a cop spotted him and walked the rap mogul to the police car where Suge sat.  Suge was then put in an ambulance and taken to a local hospital.

We do not know the seriousness of Suge's injuries.  Multiple sources now tell us Suge was one of 3 people who were shot.  At least 1 is in critical condition.

Sheriff's deputies had guns drawn as clubgoers exited with their hands in the air right after the shooting.

The night started with tension.  An hour-and-a-half before the shots, Game came to the club and he and his buddies got into an altercation with security guards ... there was a full-on fight.  Game tried to get in was denied and left, but his buddies stayed behind.  We do not know if they were involved in the altercation.

MTV wanted to make it clear ... it wasn't their party ... it's was Chris Brown's.

Killer Mike Says "Our Rights Are Being Violated...Daily"

/ No Comments
In addition to an appearance on CNN to talk about the killing of Mike Brown and current protests in Ferguson yesterday, Killer Mike penned an editorial for Billboard released on Tuesday (August 18) echoing many of the same sentiments he shared on the news channel.

In both the CNN interview and Billboard op-ed Mike details his own empathy for the hardships of being a police officer before leveraging blame for the deaths of Mike Brown and Eric Garner directly upon “bad policing” and “excessive force.”

“We trust police with the power of life and death and with that trust comes a greater responsibility to be better than the current standard of policing I see across America every day,” he writes. “Being a cop must be hard. My dad was one, and never wanted any of his children to follow in his footsteps. Being a cop is often seeing the worst of the human condition and behavior. With all of that said, there is no reason that Mike Brown and also Eric Garner are dead today -- except bad policing, excessive force and the hunt-and-capture-prey mentality many thrill-seeking cops have adapted.

“This week I have seen tanks, rubber bullets and tear gas used by police against the citizens that pay them,” he continues. “This is not Egypt or Syria or Palestine, but today it feels that way. It feels as if death can come, without reason, from a uniformed government official and, if we do not press back against this Blue Wall of Silence and gang-like mentality of our local police, we all are in danger. Whether it is illegal rd stops & checkpoints, where your rights are being violated -- through being forced to answer questions that the 5th Amendment protects you from, or illegal stop-and-frisk that the 4th Amendment is designed to protect you from -- all of our rights are violated and in danger when any American's rights are violated.”

The R.A.P. Music emcee and barber-shop owner also warns against an increase of similar police tactics if the violence goes unchecked.

“This week I have seen tanks, rubber bullets and tear gas used by police against the citizens that pay them,” he writes. “This is not Egypt or Syria or Palestine, but today it feels that way. It feels as if death can come, without reason, from a uniformed government official and, if we do not press back against this Blue Wall of Silence and gang-like mentality of our local police, we all are in danger. Whether it is illegal rd stops & checkpoints, where your rights are being violated -- through being forced to answer questions that the 5th Amendmentprotects you from, or illegal stop-and-frisk that the 4th Amendment is designed to protect you from -- all of our rights are violated and in danger when any American's rights are violated.

“I have chimed in about the brutality that killed this child, Michael Brown, and Eric Garner, and so many others,” Killer Mike adds. “It's shameful, but these are not simply words to commiserate; these words, I hope, serve as a wake-up call to all Americans. Our rights are being violated by people we pay daily. This must end, or every American has failed...The police have the power of life and death in their decisions -- they need to know that Americans hold them to a higher standard than these examples, of American men laying lifeless like deer. Slaughtered hogs in the street.”

Early in the article Killer Mike also offers a resounding warning: “Whatever this country is willing to do to the least of us, it will one day do to us all.”

During his CNN appearance, the Run the Jewels emcee also warns against more widespread civil rights abuses.

“If this police officer is not arrested what immediately may happen is some rioting,” he said. “There will be tears and pain and agony and burning, and I hope it’s not that, but what really happens if this police officer isn’t arrested is all of our rights are continually thrown out of the window. I’m afraid for all Americans, I’m not just afraid for Black Americans today. I’m afraid for all Americans because whether it’s this situation with this particular policeman in Ferguson or illegal traffic stops or policemen asking you questions that directly interfere with your 5th Amendment rights, things have gotten so lax to the point that we all have an apathy that we aren’t on the case about the people we vote into office, meaning mayors, the people they appoint, police chiefs, and the people that are hired police. We as Americans have to be more vigilant about policing the people we pay to protect and serve us.”
