Cops Cleared In Brutal Beating Of Pittsburgh Teen

this is fucked up....

Three police officers in Pittsburgh, Penn. were cleared Wednesday (Aug. 8), in the vicious beating of a Black man whom they suspected of wrongdoing.[b]A federal court ruled that the three White officers did not maliciously seek out victim, Jordan Miles, who claims to have been stopped by cops for no particular reason. However, eight jurors—most of which were White with the exception of a Black foreman— were not able to reach a decision on whether or not the officers were guilty of false arrest, or using excessive force.

"It's a good win for us," said attorney James Wymard, who represents accused Officer David Sisak.

At the time of the altercation, Miles was an 18-year-old senior at Pittsburgh's performing arts high school and had no criminal record. He was approached by police at around 11 p.m. on Jan. 12, 2010. Police allege that he appeared to be creeping near a neighborhood home, and had in his pocket what they thought was a gun, but turned out to be a soda bottle.

cops are out of control.

what happened to Jordan Miles was unacceptable.

imagine you are just walking alone on the street then 3 big white guys approach you in the middle of the night and didn't even announce they're the police.. anyone in their right mind would try to run away. they chased him down and beat the shit out of him.

the system cleared the cops of all charges against them..

theres another case in anaheim, ca (disneyland town) where the police there are on some anti latino shit.

they shot an unarmed man in the back, twice...

Last month after Anaheim police shot to death an unarmed man in one of the city’s poor barrios — an event that shattered a tenuous trust between the Latino community and the Police Department — Mayor Tom Tait immediately called for state and federal investigations of the incident.

Tait insisted that the scrutiny is an essential first step in healing the pain of a disenfranchised community. If it is found that the shooting was unjustified, then the officer could face disciplinary action and even criminal prosecution, thus giving residents some measure of justice.

So far, the district attorney, the U.S. attorney’s office, the FBI and the Office of Independent Review have agreed to review the killing of 25-year-old Manuel Diaz, who witnesses said was fleeing from police when he was chased down and shot from behind, then in the head.

But rooting out the truth in these incidents is no easy task, said Steve Nolan, a former Anaheim officer who won a whistle-blower lawsuit against the city in 1997.

Nolan was fired after making allegations of officer brutality against Latinos. He said the current probes of Anaheim police behavior will be hampered by the “code of silence” among officers when one of their own is being investigated.

The officers Nolan accused were cleared of any wrongdoing by an internal review and an FBI investigation, the city asserted in court documents.
