FREDERICK, MD — A mentally handicapped man with Down Syndrome had purchased a ticket to watch a film at the cinema. He liked it so much that he wanted to watch it again, so he stayed in his seat. Three police deputies came to forcibly remove the man. When he didn’t obey their orders, they determined that he was “resisting arrest” and dealt with the threat. Robert Saylor died of asphyxiation over the price of a movie ticket.
A joint drug task force from Weber and Morgan county, Utah, executed a search warrant on Todd Blair’s house on September 16th, 2010, resulting in the shooting death of Blair only two seconds after entry was made.
The “Weber-Morgan Strike Force” initiated an investigation into Blair’s residence with a focus on his roommate, Melanie Chournos. Police stated in their application for warrant that Ms. Chournos would likely destroy evidence upon their arrival, and requested a night time, “no-knock warrant” for the squirrely female. However, prior to the raid, law enforcement became aware of the fact Blair’s roommate had moved out of the house. With warrant already in hand, or rather, still back at the police station, the Strike Force decided to conduct the night time raid anyway.
Friends and family of Mr. Blair plainly admit to his drug usage, but said he was a drug addict and not a drug dealer.
After the SWAT team hit the door three times in an attempt to open it, and as the video clearly shows, Mr. Blair appears in a far hallway, shirtless, and with a golf club in his hands.
Certainly, any reasonable person would arm themselves at the sound of their front door being kicked in for fear of becoming a victim of robbery, or worse.
Caution: video contains actual raid footage, including the shooting….
What do you do when you shoot a man being evicted from his home for owing back rent?
Well, when you’re the Rochester, NY Police department, you immediately go into damage control mode, spin, twist, and change your story in order to justify using deadly force against a man holding a bottle of bleach.
In other words, you LIE.
That’s exactly what Rochester, NY Police Chief James Sheppard and his thugs with badges down at the Public Safety building did, after Rochester, NY Police officers Antonio Gonzalez and James Ott shot Timothy Powell, a former homeless man being evicted from his downtown Rochester apartment.
Here’s what happened…
THAT’S WHAT THEY DO! NEVER FEAR, THESE POLICEMEN WILL SURELY BE EXONERATED AND BACK ON THE STREET KILLING PEOPLE WITHIN SIX MONTHS AFTER THEIR PAID LEAVE AND A “FULL INVESTIGATION”!
“As far as I'm concerned, it's a damned shame that a field as potentially dynamic and vital as journalism should be overrun with dullards, bums, and hacks, hag-ridden with myopia, apathy, and complacence, and generally stuck in a bog of stagnant mediocrity.” -Hunter Thompson
