Imagine witnessing police officers commanding a K-9 dog to maul a man to death. If you are like most people, you would try to document the murder by recording the incident.
That’s exactly what recently happened in New Jersey, after cops killed a man by mauling him with a police dog. But when by-standers started recording the incident, officers charged at them to confiscate cell phone cameras (scroll down for video).
The Vineland, New Jersey officer who demanded witness cell phones seems to have been unsuccessful in his attempts to confiscate recording devices. Currently, there are two different videos of the incident that have been uploaded to YouTube and released by local media.
News reports seem to have no idea what happens after the officer demanded the footage and recording devices. The videos do not explain either. One could presume that the witnesses made a run for it and got away with the footage. If this is the case, they likely fear coming forward and admitting to evading the officer.
They also might fear retaliation from the officers, since they did witness the officers carry out a murder.
What we know from local media reports is that the victim was Philip White, 32. He tried to protect his face from the dog, and roll on to his stomach. That’s when the lying officer yells “he tried to grab my gun.”
The video clearly shows that never happened.
One lie followed another, as the officers began barking “stop resisting” even though the man was not resisting, he was just trying to avoid being mauled to death by the dog.
“They punched him, stomped him, kicked him and then they let the dog out of the car,” said Ricardo Garcia. “The dog bit him on his face and around his body. There’s no call for that. Once a man is handcuffed and unconscious, you should have stuck him in the patrol car and take him to the police station. Instead they decided to beat him right here.”
Another witness, Luis Martinez, also insisted White wasn’t doing anything wrong and that the officers used excessive force.
“The other cop let the dog out and they just kept punching him and the dog kept biting him at the same time,” Martinez said. “He was on the floor. Like, he was knocked out.”
A dog is heard barking on a police dispatch recording of the incident.
“118 West Grape,” the dispatcher says in the recording. “Subject…hyperventilating. Officers out.” An officer is also heard on the recording.
“Slow all units down,” the officer says. “Subject under…tried disarming me…tried to grab my gun.”
If that is the case, it is unclear from the video how that happened.
PINAC notes that one commenter in one of the articles says the name of the cop who tried to confiscate the footage is “Officer Traveline.” That poster claims that the officer has a history of filing false police reports.
Only in misterwhite "cops can do no wrong" Bizarro world is being "on drugs" a death sentence.
This article is too fact-free to tell us who is to blame and exactly what happened.
But we'll never hear any followup. That's the problem with these stories you post. They are written to inflame any police incident without any regard to the facts or any followup as to the actual results of the official investigation.
This pattern of slanted articles is so obvious and your intent in posting them so clear that I think Stone should restrict your posting these anti-cop stories. You use his forum to wallpaper your own fact-free anti-police screeds here, mostly to annoy a couple of posters like GrandIsland and misterwhite. What, you think you're suddenly going to change their opinions? Or anyone else's?
Of course, all you post are anti-cop and Jonesy materials. You never post straight news stories.
More cell phone video showing police interacting with a Vineland, New Jersey man ahead of his death surfaced Friday. The latest footage provides a clearer view of the final moments of Phillip White's life -- which involved officer behavior that one expert found questionable and led the man's family to launch an independent investigation.
Thirty-two-year-old White died Tuesday while in police custody. Vineland Police Officers had retrained him on the 100 block of Grape Street in Vineland a short time earlier in response to reports of a disorderly person.
The expert -- a top ranking law enforcement official and former use of force instructor -- spoke anonymously about what transpired on the tape.
The official, who is not connected to the investigation, said officers should have called off the dog immediately after bringing White under control. He also said the officer who demanded the person recording the video turn over his cell phone had no right to do so.
Would it make any difference to you and the other cop apologists if I posted the same story from a MSM propaganda organ?
You won't do that because you insist on posting only the most inflammatory and slanted accounts. And rarely any followup after an investigation has produced some evidence.
You articles are definitely hang-'em-all-let-God-sort-them-out.
People would be poorly informed if they relied on you for coverage of police abuse cases.
