Dash Cam Footage Released Of S.C. Cop Shooting Cooperative Man During Traffic Stop. Trooper Sean Groubert, Arrested & Charged (Video)

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 25, 2014 at 4:30pm

Video After The Jump

What should have been a routine traffic stop turned into an unjustified shooting of a citizen in Columbia, South Carolina.

Prosecutors just released dash cam footage of the incident that happened on September 4th. State Trooper Sean Groubert pulled in behind 35-year old African American Levar Jones, who had stopped at a Circle K convenience store. After Jones exited his vehicle, Groubert asked to see his license.

Jones turns around and reaches inside his vehicle for his I.D. At that point Groubert screams "get out the car," twice before firing four shots

“I just got my license. You said get my license,” Jones says. “I grabbed my license. Right there, that’s my license.”

“Put your hands behind your back,” Groubert tells him, as he walks over to cuff the innocent man.

“What did I do? What did I do, sir?” Jones asks.

Groubert asks him if he is hit.

“I think so, I can’t feel my leg," the injured man replied. "I don’t know what happened. I just grabbed my license. Why did you shoot me?”

“Well, you dove headfirst back into your car,” he said.

According to WLTX, Groubert was fired on September 19 by the South Carolina Department of Public Safety after a review of the State Law Enforcement Division report. DPS Director Leroy Smith said Groubert did not follow protocol when he shot Jones.

Groubert, 31, was arrested Wednesday, September 24, and booked into Richland County Detention Center. Bond was set at $75,000.

He's been charged with felony assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. He has since bailed out of jail.

Groubert will appear in court on October 24. He's facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

Jones is said to be recovering from a shot to the hip.

Caught On Tape: Sacramento News Crew Physically Attacked By Family Of Man Shot To Death Just Hours Earlier

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on February 21, 2011 at 10:30am

Video After The Jump

I'm actually surprised we don't see this happen more often.

A news crew from Sacramento tv station Fox40 was attacked by angry family members of a shooting victim.

27-year-old Chester Jackson was shot and killed in a parking lot outside an IHOP early morning Sunday (February 20). His family gathered in the parking lot and set up a makeshift memorial. When reporter John Lobertini and photojournalist Rebecca Little approached to see if anyone wanted to talked, things got ugly.

"This is one of the hazards of the business but we didn't expect what we encountered here today," said Lobertini.

Before things escalated into violence, one woman is seen yelling at the news crew, who didn't back down. Then someone is seen pulling Little to the ground by her hair as they attempted to stop her from filming.

"When I fell on the ground I was protecting myself, and then she kicked me and I was still kinda paralyzed, and I hear my reporter John say, 'get up, get up,'" Little told Fox40

It was just an unfortunate situation for everyone. I know I wouldn't want some guy sticking a mic in my face right after a relative was killed. Hopefully the news crew won't try to press any charges.

At one point you can hear family members respond to her saying she was kicked by replying "nobody hit you."

"I know people are going through rough times but that's still my job. I wasn't trying to get in their face and be disrespectful," Little said.

Washington Woman, Bethany Storro, Who Blamed Black Person For Acid Attack, Actually Did It To Herself! [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 17, 2010 at 7:07am

Video After The Jump (CNN) -- A 28-year-old woman who said an unknown assailant threw a cup of caustic liquid in her face has admitted her injuries were self-inflicted, Vancouver, Washington, police said Thursday. Bethany Storro was being interviewed by detectives, and whether she will be charged will be up to prosecutors, police said. "She is extremely upset," said police Commander Marla Schuman. "She is very remorseful. In many ways it got bigger than she expected." Police would not speculate on Storro's motives, only saying the August 30 incident did not occur as she described and that there were discrepancies in her account, including wearing sunglasses in the evening. They also had questions about the liquid's splash patterns on Storro's face. Officers acquired a search warrant and conducted a search Thursday morning. They removed several undisclosed items, but said they did not find a substance that might have caused her injuries. Vancouver had searched for an assailant, described as an African-American woman with an athletic build and slicked-back hair pulled into a pony tail. Storro was released from an Oregon hospital on September 5 after undergoing surgery for her injuries after the alleged attack. Police spent hundreds of hours on the case and the community came together to offer donations for Storro's treatment. "It has had an impact on our community," said Police Chief Clifford Cook. "It has brought negative attention on our community that is undeserved." Storro's family was also being interviewed, police said. They described her as being in a fragile mental state. Storro credited a new pair of sunglasses -- which she said she bought just 20 minutes before the attack -- with saving her eyesight. "God is watching over me," Storro, of Vancouver, told CNN affiliate KATU in Portland, Oregon, at the time. "I believe in him. That his hands are on me and I can't live the rest of my life like that -- in fear. I can't let what she did to me wreck my life." Storro told KATU that she had stopped at a Vancouver Starbucks about 7:15 p.m., just after she had gone back to buy a pair of sunglasses that she had seen earlier. The woman walked up to her and said, "Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?" When Storro declined, the woman threw the contents of the cup in her face and ran off, Storro claimed at the time.

Well Damn! Cop Calls 911 & Gets Severely Beaten & Pepper Sprayed By Other Cops [Pics]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on August 26, 2010 at 9:16am

An NYPD cop whose wife called 911 for help against a gang of thugs says he was brutally beaten by baton-wielding fellow officers who stormed his Queens home. Larry Jackson suffered a broken right hand and multiple bruises from kicks and billy-club blows he said he got from the men in blue called to his home when a gunman menaced guests at his daughter's birthday party. "To get my butt beat like that was unnecessary," said the six-year veteran assigned to the 110th Precinct. "We called the police, and this is what happened to me." "I'm shocked, angry and disappointed," said the 6-foot-3, 300-pound Jackson. Prosecutors and the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau are probing his claims.

His hand in a cast, he met with the Daily News on Wednesday and lifted his shirt to show the scars from Sunday's early morning confrontation. Jackson, who is black, said the excessive force by the cops, who were white, might have been racially motivated. "They didn't treat me like a house-owner calling for help," he said. "Everyone who lives in the 113th Precinct is not a perp." Investigators from IAB took a DNA sample from Jackson on Wednesday and told his lawyer, Eric Sanders, it was for testing against the cops' batons, which have been confiscated. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Jackson "was injured as a result of a dispute at the party." A spokeswoman did not return a call for further comment. Jackson's wife, Charlene, made a 911 call around 1:15 a.m. Sunday as her unarmed husband faced down thugs armed with a gun and bats who showed up as partygoers started leaving his home in Rochdale. "I told the 911 operator it's my daughter's 21st birthday and my husband is a police officer and there's a young man with a gun," she said. "Who do we call now?" said Charlene Jackson, a city bus driver. "It's very hurtful to know you can't trust the police officers in your neighborhood. I feel like the 113th Precinct is our enemy." Larry Jackson, wearing an apron with the slogan, "I'm the chef and I'm awesome," said he did not identify himself to the street thugs as a cop - but was able to convince them to leave. They were slinking off when the first patrol car from the 113th Precinct roared up and a sergeant got out. Charlene Jackson said she tried to tell the sergeant what happened when her niece yelled from the house that there was a fight inside. The sergeant's driver ran inside and struck a friend of the family with his baton, the Jacksons said. The sergeant then pushed Larry Jackson with his baton, they said, and when Jackson grabbed the sergeant, another cop began choking him from behind. Jackson was knocked down and fell on his 82-year-old mother-in-law who briefly lost consciousness, he said. "I'm covering my face and getting hit everywhere," he said. "Then somebody pepper sprayed me." The couple said cops hit at least six family members and friends with batons. Their stepson, a cousin and a nephew were charged with disorderly conduct. Larry Jackson's gun and badge were taken and he was placed on modified duty. "What's most disturbing is there were supervisors on the scene who did nothing," said lawyer Sanders.

Bikers Cause Police Car Chasing Them To Flip. Then Get Off Bikes To Taunt, Applaud & Laugh At Trooper Stuck & Injured In Vehicle [Video + Pics]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on August 15, 2010 at 10:30am

Video After The Jump Washington State Troppers are "infuriated" today after they say a group of motorcyclists taunted an injured officer after causing him to crash his vehicle. Trooper Bryan Salyer, 46 says he saw the bikers going over 100 mph and started to chase them, but soon crashed after the motorcyclists intentionally cut him off according to King5. "Two of the bikes crossed over and intentionally cut the trooper off and slammed on their brakes," said Washington State Trooper Cliff Pratt. He says Salyer slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting them, which caused his car to hit a guard rail, then flip several times. "As he is looking up at them, thinking they would get off and help him out of this horrible situation, they got off their bikes at stood about 30 feet within him and started pointing and clapping, thinking it's a really funny incidence for themselves." says Pratt. However, a witness has come forward to tell a different story. Francisco Sanchez of Seattle, says he saw the bikers pass him at a high rate of speed. Soon after, the patrol car approached. "It was completely out of control," he said of the patrol car. "The car was just dancing. It hit the dirt and then cartwheeled like a cheerleader at nationals." Sanchez added that it didn't look like the bikers cut the car off, but he did confirm they taunted the officer after the crash. "They were excited. There was clapping and cheering, and a couple people got off their bikes to take pictures of the spectacle," Sanchez said. Salyer suffered a concussion, cuts, bumps and bruises in the crash. Police are still looking for the bikers.

New Video Of 2009 Bart Police Killing Of Oscar Grant Emerges. As Officer Who Shot Him Testifies In Murder Trial [2 Videos]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 25, 2010 at 6:30am

Video After The Jump

LOS ANGELES — For 18 months, former Bay area transit officer Johannes Mehserle maintained a public silence about what led him to shoot unarmed Oscar Grant as he lay face down on an Oakland train platform.

More answers may come on Friday when Mehserle resumes testifying at his murder trial in a Los Angeles courtroom. His testimony marks the first time he's spoken publicly about the shooting early New Year's day 2009.

Mehserle, who is white, has pleaded not guilty to the 22-year-old black man. The trial was moved from Alameda County because of intense media coverage and racial tensions.

Friends and family of Oscar Grant

In a surprise move Thursday, Mehserle took the stand and told jurors that training he received didn't emphasize the possibility of mistaking his stun gun with his handgun.

But that's what his lawyer claims happened when Mehserle pulled out his .40-caliber handgun and shot Grant.

On questioning by defense lawyer Michael Rains, the brawny, 6-foot-4 Mehserle said he received Taser training in December 2008 and had only pulled it out once while on duty in the month before the shooting.

He said his former employer didn't put much weight on possible "confusion issues" where officers should place the Taser holster, only that the weapon wasn't to be put under their issued handgun.

"They left it up to us to figure it out," said Mehserle, who spoke in a calm, soft voice. "For me it wasn't that big of a deal."

Prosecutors say Mehserle intended to shoot Grant, and that Mehserle used his handgun because officers were losing control of the situation. Mehserle wore his stun gun on the front left side the night of the shooting, while his handgun was mounted on his right hip.

The trial adjourned late Thursday before Mehserle could give details about the shooting.

Former Bart cop Johannes Mehserle talking to his lawyer

Legal experts say while defendants in criminal trials rarely take the stand, his testimony could be compelling for jurors.

"They are going to want to get a sense of is he a good person, a thoughtful person," said Dr. Philip Anthony, a Los Angeles psychologist who is chief executive of the jury consulting firm DecisionQuest. "Most importantly, they want to hear what was running through his mind, his thought process when he fired that fatal shot."

On the stand, Mehserle did say when he arrived with his partner to the train station in response to a possible fight, that he could hear yelling and screaming from the platform above.

"I remember it being real loud," Mehserle said. "I didn't know if officers were involved in the fight or the crowd had turned on them. It didn't sound good."

He added he intercepted a few men who he said were approaching two fellow officers that had detained Grant and several friends against a concrete wall. He said the men, who turned out to be more of Grant's friends, were taunting the BART officers.

"I just instructed them to get back," Mehserle said.

He said he eventually looked at Grant and Jackie Bryson, who appeared to be upset. The other two officers, Tony Pirone and Marysol Domenici, had pulled their stun guns out and given the situation, Mehserle said he decided to do the same. Before Grant was shot, he snapped a photo of Mehserle pointing his Taser stun gun in his direction.

Mehserle said he wasn't sure what had transpired but tried to cool down Grant and Bryson.

"They were yelling '(expletive) that officer,' 'I'm going to sue,'" Mehserle recalled the two men saying of Pirone, who was described by some onlookers as the most aggressive and hostile toward Grant and his friends.

The shooting, and the events leading up to it, were captured on video by several bystanders.

Grant's uncle, Cephus "Bobby" Johnson said he believes Mehserle will try using his testimony to differentiate himself from Pirone.

"Now all of the sudden he's this huggable, passive, non-aggressive person who really believes in communication instead of exerting authority," Johnson said. "I'm not buying that."

2 Cops Busted For Smoking Blunts At Police Softball Tournament

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on August 19, 2009 at 2:00pm

Kevin Fujioka Las Vegas Sun Reports Authorities said two Honolulu police officers who fled from Clark County Park Police were arrested on drug possession charges this past weekend at a police softball tournament. Park police officers entered Desert Breeze Park, at Durango Drive and Spring Mountain Road, at 8:15 p.m. Saturday and spotted a white van parked across two spaces illegally, Clark County spokeswoman Stacey Welling said. As officers approached the van, it took off and two men got out and started running across the park, Welling said. Park police arrested 37-year-old Kevin Fujioka, the driver of the van, and charged him with driving under the influence of narcotics and possession of marijuana, Welling said. Police also arrested 47-year-old Shayne Souza for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting a police officer and obstructing a police officer, Welling said. Both Fujioka and Souza are police officers in Honolulu.

Shayne Souza In the course of the arrest, park police had to spray Souza with pepper because he resisted arrest, Welling said. A third man, 38-year-old Scott Wilson, a Honolulu social worker, was also arrested for possessing marijuana and having an open container of alcohol in the van, Welling said. The three men were attending a softball tournament in Las Vegas sponsored by the Nevada Police Athletic Association.

7 Year Old Boy Steals Car To Avoid Going To Church

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on July 29, 2009 at 5:00pm

Police in Utah say a 7-year-old boy led officers on a car chase in an effort to avoid going to church. Dispatchers received reports of a child driving recklessly on Sunday morning. Weber County Sheriff's Capt. Klint Anderson says one witness said the boy drove through a stop sign. Anderson says two deputies caught up with the boy and tried unsuccessfully to stop the Dodge Intrepid in an area about 45 miles north of Salt Lake City. The car reached 40 mph before the boy stopped in a driveway and ran inside a home. Anderson says when the boy's father later confronted him, the boy said he didn't want to go to church. The boy is too young to prosecute and no citations were issued, although police did urge the father to make his car keys more inaccessible to children.

10 Mexican police officers held in killings of 12 federal agents

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on July 19, 2009 at 5:50am

The recent spate of violence was sparked by the arrest of high-ranking drug cartel member Arnoldo Rueda Medina.

CNN Reports A federal judge ordered 10 municipal police officers arrested Saturday in connection with the slayings of 12 off-duty federal agents in southwestern Mexico, the attorney general's office said. The federal officers' bodies were found Tuesday on a remote highway in Michoacan state, where at least 18 federal agents and two soldiers have been killed since July 11 due to drug-related violence. Video from the scene showed three signs, known as narcomensajes, or narcomessages, left by the killers. They all stated the same thing: "So that you come for another. We will be waiting for you here." The officers arrested Saturday are on the police force in the city of Arteaga. Mexican President Felipe Calderon, whose home state is Michoacan, responded to the violence by dispatching 1,000 federal police officers to the area. The infusion, which more than tripled the number of federal police officers patrolling Michoacan, angered Michoacan Gov. Leonel Godoy Rangel. He called it an occupation and said he had not been consulted. Authorities said Wednesday they were searching for the governor's half-brother, who they say is a top-ranking member of La Familia Michoacana drug cartel. The cartel is blamed for most of the recent violence in the state. The governor's brother, Julio Cesar Godoy Toscano, was elected July 5 to the lower house of Congress. The governor has publicly urged his brother to surrender. There were no reports of his apprehension as of late Saturday. The sudden spike in violence followed the arrest July 11 of Arnoldo Rueda Medina, described as a high-ranking member of La Familia. La Familia members attacked the federal police station in Morelia to try to gain freedom for Rueda shortly after his arrest, authorities said. When that failed, cartel members attacked federal police installations in at least a half-dozen Michoacan cities. Under Mexican law, the officers arrested Saturday will be held for 40 days while officials determine whether to formally charge them.

Man engulfed in flames after being Tasered

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on July 21, 2009 at 10:21pm

MSNBC Reports SYDNEY - A man whose relatives say had been sniffing gasoline burst into flames after a police officer Tasered him as he ran at officials carrying a container of fuel, police said Tuesday. The man, identified by his family as 36-year-old Ronald Mitchell, was in critical condition at a Perth hospital in Western Australia state following Monday's incident in Warburton, an Aboriginal community 950 miles northeast of Perth. Western Australia police said they were responding to a complaint at a house when Mitchell ran outside carrying a cigarette lighter and a large plastic bottle containing what they believe was fuel. When he refused to stop running toward them, one officer Tasered him, police said in a statement. The man was immediately engulfed in flames. The officer threw him to the ground and smothered the blaze with his hands, the statement said. Mitchell was charged with assault to prevent arrest and possession of a sniffing substance. An 18-year-old woman threw rocks at the officer as he tried to help, and he was later treated for a cut on his head and burns to his hands, police said. Police say man sniffed gas The woman was charged with two counts of assaulting an officer, police Sgt. Graham Clifford said. Two others at the house were charged with possessing a sniffing substance. Mitchell's sister, Morinda West, told The Australian newspaper that her brother had been sniffing gasoline and that when he ran out of the house he was carrying a lighter and an orange juice container full of gasoline. Police spokeswoman Susan Usher said Mitchell appeared to have received third-degree burns to about ten percent of his body. Western Australia Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan defended the officer's actions on Tuesday, calling Mitchell a known gasoline sniffer and violent offender. "The police officers were concerned that they were going to be burnt so they deployed a Taser," O'Callaghan told reporters in Perth. "The only other choice they would have had is to use a police-issue firearm and the circumstances would almost certainly have been far more grave." O'Callaghan also said that while Mitchell did burst into flames after the Taser was deployed, it wasn't immediately clear if the stun gun actually sparked the fire. "There is a very strong possibility the fire was caused by the lighter in the hand of the offender," he said. The officer who Tasered Mitchell was not suspended, Clifford said.

Tru Life Turns Himself In On 1st Degree Murder Charges

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 24, 2009 at 3:30pm

Former Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam artist Tru Life turned himself in to authorities last night (June 23) to face a charge of 1st degree murder, according to reports. The charge is possibly tied to a brutal stabbing incident last week that left one man seriously injured, and an 18-year old teen dead. As reported by AllHipHop.com, police were initially investigating Tru Life’s brother for a retaliation attack in the non-fatal shooting of Michael Slater. The individual, whom police suspect is a drug dealer, was shot in the stomach outside of club Pacha. Several hours after the crime, police claim five gang members ambushed 30 year old Jason Black and the teen at a Manhattan apartment complex. Both men were stabbed repeatedly in the chest and face. Black survived the assault, while the unidentified teen succumbed to his wounds. At the time, police theorized that the back and forth violence was the result of a feud between Jason Black and Tru Life’s brother. 1st degree murder carries a maximum sentence of life in prison under New York law. If an official or witness is not the victim, the distinction can also be decreed for murders involving multiple parties or tortuous killings. Tru Life’s last music effort, “Wet ‘em Up,” was heard as a selection on the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto IV. At press time, Tru Life could not be reached for comment. Source : ALLHIPHOP
