Eliot were in minneapolis minnesota this is a quiet and a fairly small city in Northern United States as of recent several Police Brutality cases have happened here were on our way to betty smiths house 7 years ago Timothy Devon took her sons life the officer is still free in service sometimes their patrol car drives by this very road right next to buddys house and the officers wave it betty i can just not imagine what that he must the went through. A very. High i think you say i mean. This is quincy graduates in a high school there that if you think my son wasnt even this tall as i am and i have healed im sure you know. He played. Everything happened right before christmas speedy explains her son left his girlfriends house breaking up his girlfriend got angry and called the police adding one fatal detail that quincy had a rifle allies cost quincey his life 5 Police Officers without any interest in finding out the true fear tackled quincy and started being him shortly after quincy was pronounced dead. The only theory is those who know you night. Think police get on you one kick in you well. Know which one is a new hes not resisting arrest hes on the ground you have him in handcuffs why is there a recent need to tell him why is there a reason a need to hit him in the back with a rifle. She doesnt have the video of the actual killing just the homicide report that there is a video officer devon apprehending another suspect in a similar way. He put his hands up and boom with a bunch of face a kid by the number one his from for force just kicks some unbelievable. Hands. With says i surrender but i could assist them saying that means he was duped by. He really. Did feel that he was trying to. Play again. When quincy sr died his son quincy de Sean Smith Jr was just 2 months old. I worry i mean hes growing up all right. He knows his father was used as his father died. And knows that other good other good things about him. Hes 70 look at the agony yet relating to quincy picked him up from school. Everything all right you try to be introduced my that. Is me. I use feeling. Maybe in my house my dad was part of the school. As long as god gives me breath im going to be fighting. Oh the injustice and the opposite theyre making the other forgot you cannot just murder someone. I. Wonder. Last of the riots in ferguson where Michael Brown was skill at the hands of the police 24 states have ratified a lot of mixed much harder for police to get away with Excessive Force perhaps this was the reason why choice shuffler is still alive today so were approaching the house of choice. One of the victims off Police Brutality here in minneapolis minnesota. Friendly. You know we just track you and film you as you drive as you ride the bike. Together the choice were headed to the crime scene where everything happened choi tells us about that night how he was riding his bike around midnight suddenly flashed by the search lights of 2 police cars and then in the rude manner asked by officer Mark Mcdonough to show him his id. And called i know one was still riding up on the 1st 2 squads what was your question to them whats going on are they interested in me and if theyre not interested in me and you know id appreciate if they you know didnt act like they were receiving part. Of the navy ideas. My breaking the law for you few months maybe is. Why youre here and following me. Every time id ask him a question youd respond with the same question whats your name whats your name criteria. She wonder if you have a favorite literally maybe a 2nd or 2 after that is actually so its going to go i want to put handcuffs on you and youre going to go in the back of my squad car so at that point im like im getting arrested like what am i being arrested for and they respond for me enough. Serious are you figure out why am i generally rested. This year they. Might excuse me and then at that point. He just pushes me down and i. Fell on the side and then he just jumped on me so i get drug rates of the side 4 of the rear right wheel well the squad car he starts taking away my head and hitting it against the wheel well the tire you know the metal i tell. You havent i didnt know. What you did. Were me and i know that. I went to school to be a cop ironically many many moons ago while many trips around the sun. Thats a sort thats a twist in the story ok in virtually all Police Officers will only be friend other Police Officers they really dont have many just usual civilian friends its just theyre a little world that they establish and as i said before its they developed this us against them routine shes got sixteens is that they recently obtained them from the u. S. Military for what. Was your question when we investigated everything the rapids exactly a small minnesota suburb they think that they need to be armed like theyre in vietnam or something. Police Services Still constant risk for the officer. The man in the white shirt with his back towards the camera is an ex Police Officer hes the only one from the other side who has agreed to speak to us on the condition that his identity remains hidden how long have you served 25 years 25 years as a Police Officer ever had to shoot someone. No. We draw our guns frequently. People usually do the right thing and surrender and. You never hear about it at all. The standard issue that most departments are using a glock varies in caliber size of the bullet they are 15 so does this fire automatically or you know of different standards some have just the single action some have 3 round burst and some have full auto why does the police in this case the coon rapids a Small Town Police precinct needs a ar 15 rifles better to have a tool and not need it the need to tool not have it what the rifle phenomena was caused by is the l. A. Robbery probably 20 years ago where the bad guys were wearing kevlar suits basically and they had rifles. We will still follow and in order for you to use deadly force you have to meet. The requirements to use that force if you use Excessive Force thats when you get in trouble you get sued you go to jail do you feel that officers like that ruin it for you in the image of the police in the United States in general we have 50 states you can probably find at least one bad thing that happens in every state but then when you start running those stories day after day people think there is a huge amount yes it happens yes there are bad cops but we have to remember that 99 percent of the cops are good and doing the right thing and helping. Just to lessons Police Officers and. Super personnel step down and let me tell yourself that they are perfect they are. Prisoners of how that works. 5 6 for those that. Are not good. With your time their word. Or try to think about. Having your work however there is a defect in the reality of situation you are no cause if you know what are frustrated with. The convenience for the government in which your rights are to conquer where you ultimately congress. Her. For. Her family. Her her. Are are 5. We are a host of minneapolis. We are about to meet with Communities United against Police Brutality. No other mother should have to be told at any time death may not be for the holiday that her son has been murdered that he was not armed and what every was it does not take 5 officers time simultaneously tasing a young man and wonder if hes going to die. On maginnis domania mutator he it is a taser here is a taser here i had to look at those burns on my babys body now the protocol was followed chrissy was murdered and it was not his fault i am 66 years old. Maybe all of them most of you like you try to imagine raising a baby back to the daycare the diapers and trying to do a job and maintain your household and a student when my taxes go is not up to me and you help tell me that my son is the criminals. You have a complaint for if you let people think that something will happen but it never does my understanding was an accident you may finish yes im finished as ive been very gracious ive given you more than the time that was on the agenda because because you have folks that are out here to speak i want them to speak thats more with you have an open forum at the beginning of the good we did respond to your request for data we provided considerable amount of data i know they didnt investigate because in our 300 page complaint there is when this is listed its not a single one was ever called so how do you investigate and youll follow investigation if you dont talk to everyone its listed. So like i said i i am appealing to you because this is dramatically impacted my family the negative way for minimal 10 year actually this is shameful the fact that people are here and im sitting here listening to a white man 15 year has not gotten just as well but i expect to see you turn your back on your own. Morning. I dont have faith in this Government Official of president i dont have faith in the system i still have god its all up until the broken system day so thats a sign for people like me this will move. As a long list of. Different people who are here for Different Reasons but also job loss. Most people in philadelphia are only about 2 paychecks away from homelessness. I know to no crown. No shots no. Action just a belt. Well a strong no for instance a moment. When your thirst for action. I. Know. What happened to me is. Not. Cool here i am in new york and im not alone this time im a choice again out here with us all the way from minnesota. To participate in stop october. Nationwide actually protests but suburbs over specifically new york protesting against Police Brutality. Her time. During. This. Period where our. Mass media is implicit in the propaganda of demonizing black male you and black people across this country among the protesters i spotted Quentin Tarantino a world famous filmmaker of film such skill build reservoir dogs pulp fiction i guess he decided that reality is a times more gruesome than his films were in your idea is this the issue that is being dealt with in the North CountryPolice Brutality where is this something that is not that is not being dealt with the right way now is im being dealt with in any way at all as far as i can see thats why were out here you know who is being dealt with and then these murdering cops would be in jail or believe space and try and write here but thats not thats not whats going on so my whole thing is i actually think that there is a corruption inside of the police well that it wasnt sure if. You are born of this protest against b. P. Then why do you make such a model. To the public to take out nothing that you wouldnt have got nothing to do and nothing. This thing involves people all kinds of people. From someone as great. As this example to. Simplify absolutely simple folk are also fighting because because they want to succeed i want to. Play a little. Differently than to. Please r. T. They are trained to be aggressive as any life force and proud person but you know person what it is like our love myself none of them dont have a Family Member dont fret hes either in jail you know or has been brutalized by the police what is this picture about this is just like Michael Sarver you still come to california about this man its not for you. That loving you know. You look. This. 2 good out of it. How to go through you coming out of a Small Community like rapids in your city you know being a part of. Being our marginal. People that. It seems that theres a theory here to my. Belief. That. Magnitude of this process should shock me came clear the killing of people in the streets of American Cities isnt a tragic accident the disney for the system that does the system the new system of Law Enforcement in america museums. Remembering the past is not something the victims families light do and its difficult to believe those horrible moments exceptions were made for our crew many mothers hope to bring to light these atrocities will help them finally see justice. 37. Looking after she says the cell. Tension for 7 hours. With people door wow. How are you thanks so much for finding time to meet us and im sorry to bring you back to that they. Tell you. Everything but there you. Go to work. Yeah i need to gently touches the urn with cremated remains of her daughter and remembers how her khiam came home from a barbecue how 2 officers came shortly after to arrest her for being intoxicated in a public place however and he just shows us the papers where the truck states that her daughter was completely alcohol free while being held sensual booking the police wouldnt give crime the medical attention for her Health Condition which evidently letter of unfortunate death inside the brooklyn cell 2 of those came to my door and told me. This is my brother with the right. Conditions here with as well. But she was why should i take a pill every day for the rest of life. And she never had that went down to put the hospital they will let me see my daughter usually when a person dies or drug that you both be able to see your relative think of no pill i now have the opportunity. They told me you do it its in the more they concluded to call you through it. So. They waited about 20 more minutes back and forth calling calling calling fear is ok for me to see my daughter because were going to investigate. So they were basically covering no covering up their negligence providing oh yes. My billet about my. They may have no way like i said before bill once they killed mine to the they are not going to rest until justice is served and theyll do it again this is michael says michael all the money all of that to go to this i mean you know not its feels. Nobody knows how it feels. We right in the bronx one of the more turbulent neighborhoods in new york city inside a local barbershop which also happens to be sponsored local people cant get enough of their local Police Brutality complaints for the camera. So they have to stand with nasties like this and im like take a picture brother to last longer and then when i got past pay the man i noticed i had to stop him and when im home now i notice around his own gun oh wait this. Im like i dont have the weather sorry you want to have a gun no i dont have guns are all this stuff me for going on i have got to go about your business i say doing your job and not your fish im actually afraid the corps. Will share one more call in the political. Be back. So you dont feel safe in your community or protected by the police well you dont feel protected by. Just a place they respond. Because we dont know because. Because they feel like we are not educated enough to know that they feel that wait wait wait youre not its only actually which thats my fright. Say so now arrest me for my rights and im afraid. I mean. The scot is one of the most well known lawyers finance Police Brutality in new york. Mr how many cases in general have you. Solved and had a positive outcome for your clients the thousands of Police Brutality has to be in the high hundreds or thousands i think Police Brutality is a real issue in this country i have a number of cases where people were injured very badly in police chase cases and when you speak to a Police Officer and question them about the training they receive in the cademy they will tell you then never in a real situation thats a very good point but. With this case the question is did the officer have the right to do what he then did lets watch one its about a couple more minutes here. And i got no problem with. This who kicks the phone out of his hand. Only the kid gets up. There were shots. Actually more i think a lot of this issue escalated because. Officers dont like when people talk back to them or dont like when people dont comply with their the mans i think in this situation no is different in somebodys others because this officer obviously wasnt threatened by any imminent. We can stop the sun announce civil war between communities and the police the lawyer goes on to say simple us isnt silly powerful weapon its not a gun korey rifle smartphone. Theres no question in my 26 years of practicing ive seen the number of Police Brutality cases rise ive seen the number of charges rise and i think the only reason its really coming to the forefront is the invention of the cell phone if it wasnt a cell phone camera people wouldnt believe half of the things that go on and we have these videos to prove that. This is a. Person is a class issue or is this even just in the for terry so all these things racism authoritarianism inequality class inequality class issues right psychological issues all of that is thrown into the spot its called Police Brutality thats why you do your best for you with regard to your own ability and transparency if youre never you. Never have youll never ever. Rage and destruction fear and despair how has the United States found itself in such a state of turmoil growing income inequality and systemic racism or as we see politics take your pick what is the difference between a protest and riot and is it accurate to say the us has become a. Hurdle that never great was founded on the rape and murder. Nothing changed so we said all response to these situations that were dealing with. People get sad every day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. So it was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down Law Enforcement. This country doesnt work for us it doesnt function for us. This is cant be happening in america we call from the streets weve got to deal with why this is the reason i have to rat like this is a reason. Greetings and salutation. Well weve been subjected to a lot of bad this week from the president ial sanctioned violence committed on Peaceful Protesters were basically amounted to a Trump Campaign photo op to the brutal uses of tear gas riot shields and rubber bullets on Peaceful Protesters and journalists in new york city and los angeles and almost every major u. S. City in between there has also my friends been some bright shining moments of beauty and good amidst all of that i mean you could you could practically hear a sigh of relief
