    Judge’s scathing words for Allentown police over violent arrest caught on video: ‘You perjured yourself,’ ‘disgusting blue line’

    Lehigh County Judge Maria L. Dantos had scathing words for Allentown police and the Lehigh County district attorney’s office after a man whose violent 2018 arrest was captured on a video that went viral was acquitted of all charges Friday morning.

    Dantos told the man, John Perez, that he was justified in protecting himself after an officer forcefully shoved him, and said she was “disgusted” by what she heard on officers’ body cam videos.
    “For not the first time in recent history I became ashamed. I was embarrassed. I was ashamed of the officers and their conduct and their words and actions, and I was ashamed of the office I spent 17 years in that they would bring this prosecution.
    “You chose to, instead, put on display police officers calling people p------, b------, threatening to shoot a dog, forming your disgusting blue line of four officers who turned their backs and said they saw nothing.

    The judge called out the police officers’ conduct during the arrest and subsequent trial.

    “You perjured yourselves. You escalated a situation without cause. Cops smirking on the stand at this jury, laughing at the defense attorney, high-fiving in the hallway after testimony as if there were something, anything, to be proud of here.

    “You, officer Lebron, shoved Mr. Perez because you were mad, period. And then you got up on the stand and told that jury that you were just trying to make some space. That is not what happened.
    “Nine officers, most of the night shift, pulling cars from other areas of the city because you lost it. That’s what happened. You lost it. Over nothing. Because someone was talking to you in a manner you didn’t like? No crime. You serve them.”

    Dantos, who served 17 years as a prosecutor in the Lehigh County district attorney’s office, rising to the rank of first assistant DA before becoming a judge in 2007, wondered why Perez’s case was brought to trial.

    “I warned the commonwealth and yet you displayed this conduct for the world to see. It’s shameful.
    “I would really like to unite this community between law enforcement and the citizens. But the blame for this lays with you and it is for you to fix.”

    View a full transcript of Dantos’ remarks below. (WARNING: Graphic Language)

    Odds any of the cops are charged with perjury are .00001% even after the judge called them on it.

    What's fucked up is that they probably resent the Judge, rather than feel shame.

    An update to this: She is a member of the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves, a Sergeant. The next day (today) he was waiting outside her house where he pulled her over backing out of her driveway, first for backing across a lane of traffic (the only way to back out there) and then he called three other cruisers in.

    They eventually towed her truck for having expired registration, even though the Province has said that due to COVID-19 you don't have to renew right now. She had to go and get her truck from impound, which seems to have just released it. They also called animal control on her because she had her dog in the truck, who refused to take the animal.

    She has said that she went to the police station he works at, talked to a supervisor, who informed him that he shouldn't have come onto the property, should have had his name tag on, etc. They are opening an "investigation."

    She also says she has contacted a lawyer.

    MEDIA STATEMENT: VIDEO FOOTAGE OF INCIDENT IN RANCHO CORDOVA
    Post Date:04/28/2020 3:34 PM
    Note: These are the facts as we understand them at this time. This investigation is in its infancy and the facts as we understand them now are subject to change as we conduct a more thorough and complete examination of the circumstances surrounding this incident.

    On April 27, 2020, a Problem Oriented Policing (POP) Officer with the Rancho Cordova Police Department was proactively patrolling the area of Mills Station Road and Mather Field Road. The deputy was in the area due to complaints from citizens about hand-to-hand sales of alcohol, tobacco and drugs to minors.

    It’s important to put video footage into context, especially in relation to a use of force incident. In this case, the deputy saw what he believed to be a hand-to-hand exchange between an adult and juvenile. As the deputy turned around, he lost sight of the adult, who left the area. When the deputy approached the juvenile, the juvenile was uncooperative and refused to give the deputy basic identifying information. He told the deputy he was 18 years old. Having reasonable suspicion that criminal activity was occurring, the deputy attempted to detain the juvenile so he could conduct further investigation. The juvenile became physically resistive at that time, causing the deputy to lose control of his handcuffs, which landed several feet away. The deputy attempted to maintain control of the juvenile without his handcuffs and while alone waiting for his partners to arrive and assist him.

    Ultimately, the deputy recovered tobacco products from the 14-year-old juvenile, which is presumably the reason for his resistance. The juvenile was cited and released to his guardians.

    This type of situation is hard on everyone--the young man, who resisted arrest, and the officer, who would much rather have him cooperate. The community should know our deputies have a heart for the Rancho Cordova community, especially for the youth they serve through the schools, PAL sports, and our new Youth Center.

    These are the facts as we know them. The Sheriff’s Office and Rancho Cordova Police Department, however, have proactively started an investigation into the use of force by our deputy in order to gain a complete and thorough understanding of the events that took place during this incident. Maintaining the public trust and remaining transparent are of paramount importance to the Sheriff’s Office and Rancho Cordova Police Department.

    Sheriff’s Spokesperson

    'Shouldn't have been out': Louisiana sheriff blames unarmed teen when cop shoots him over cell
    A Louisiana sheriff blamed a 14-year-old, unarmed teen for an encounter that left the teen critically injured when an off-duty cop shot him in the head, fearing the teen’s phone light was a gun, according to local news station 4WWL-TV. Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joe Lopinto told reporters the teen was outside of the home of officer William Daniel Short with four other teens around 3 AM on Friday. They had snuck out of their homes to go joyriding in a parent's car and decided to park a few houses down from their own to avoid getting caught, Lopinto told 4WWL. While two of the teens immediately left, three of them stayed inside the car, causing the car’s alarm to sound when they did decide to leave, Lopinto said. Short came outside his home, confronted the teens, and when they tried to get away, fired one shot, claiming he thought a cell phone light was the flash of a gun, the sheriff’s office told 4WWL. The flash was actually just alerting the teen to a call he received around the time of the incident, 4WWL reported.

    "You know what, let's face it,” Lopinto said during a press conference Friday. “Good, bad, or indifferent, no matter what, we had several juveniles that were out at 3 o'clock in the morning that shouldn't have been out, not only during the COVID but just not out in general. You know I asked family members. Bad things happen at that time of the morning.”
    In response to the deadly coronavirus pandemic, Louisiana is under a stay-at-home order requiring all residents to limit their activity in public "beyond essential needs" through April 30, according to the governor’s office. "Make sure you understand where your children are especially with a lot of them out of school. Make sure you know where they are. It’s never a good call when you get a call that your child has been shot,” Lopinto said. “And that being said, all that can be prevented if we can keep our children home especially at that time of night.”



    RELATED: The real reason there are few safe courses of action for Black people facing coronavirus pandemic

    “All of that” could also be prevented if cops were a little less trigger-happy and neighboring law enforcement agencies actually held each other accountable for their actions instead of defending them.

    Lopinto didn’t stop his defense of the officer at the time of the incident either. "He was not in uniform. He was woken up with no shirt on and shorts on and exited his house as a regular homeowner,” Lopinto said. “We are treating him as obviously a victim and a suspect at this time."

    The sheriff told 4WWL Wednesday that no arrests had been made at this time. “Upon competition of the investigation, JPSO will consult with the Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s office for their review and determination as to potential criminal charges should any be warranted,” Lopinto said.

    I'm amazed they managed to be so calm, cool and collected in Lansing yesterday with dozens of armed men literally defying stay at home orders and charging the state house.

    Apparently if you see a black man jogging it's ok to shoot him. Just say he attacked you after you rolled up with guns and it's all good.

    I had no idea there was a video, it was apparently just released. This whole thing reeks of some good ole boy racist bullshit, they're on their 3rd D.A because the previous two have massive conflicts of interest. Of course they're also going through Arbery's past to talk about all the bad things he did in high school, and why that makes it ok for these guys to basically murder him.

    Mega NSFW.

    That might be the worst one I've ever seen. Literally a posse was formed to kill an unarmed black man, and they hopped in a fucking vehicle to hunt him down. The self defense story they're going with pisses me off, too. Of course he's going to fight you when you cut him off in a vehicle and jump out with a shotgun, while the other is in the bed with a handgun. He was cornered and had to fight for his life.

    That was quick, it was pretty bad but it only had a couple hundred views. Wonder if it's questionable if it's video of this event or unfortunately of some other murder that took place.

    Thread sucks now, but it is bad police. Guy in the truck bed is an ex-cop and *former*(edit) investigator for the DA office.

    DA misconduct is always bad police imo.
