so the main officer was investigated chargede but found not guilty for planting evidence but yet gets a job at another police force....he should be free if found guilty but that shit should stop him from getting a job as a police officer...you gotta go be a flashlight cop or some shit....

Phoenix policeman won't face charges for shooting unarmed black man

(Reuters) - No criminal charges will be filed against a white Phoenix police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black man in December during what authorities described as a struggle, county prosecutors said on Wednesday.

Prosecutors found that Officer Mark Rine was justified in using deadly force against Rumain Brisbon, said Jerry Cobb, a Maricopa County attorney spokesman.

The shooting aroused community outrage and brought protests seen nationwide to the streets of Phoenix.

Cobb said the shooting was within Arizona law governing such conduct, but was unaware of the specific findings of the incident review.

Police have said that Brisbon, 34, was shot and killed on Dec. 2 as he struggled with Rine, who suspected he was selling drugs and mistakenly believed that he felt the handle of a gun in the man’s pocket.

It was later learned that Brisbon was actually carrying a pill bottle in the struggle outside an apartment complex in Phoenix.

Marci Kratter, the attorney for Brisbon’s family, said she was not surprised that Rine will not be held accountable.

“There was no investigation,” Kratter said. “They were certainly not interested in finding out what the truth was.”

Kratter said the family plans to pursue further legal action.

County Attorney Bill Montgomery told a local newspaper that the seven-year veteran officer had a “reasonable fear for his life” after Brisbon failed to obey police directives and acted like he possessed a weapon.

Police have previously said the confrontation began after two witnesses told a police that the occupants of an SUV Brisbon had been sitting in were selling drugs.

Police said Rine ordered Brisbon to show his hands, before he placed one or both hands in his “waistband area" and fled. A struggle ensued, and Rine shot Brisbon twice, saying he thought the man had a gun. A semi-automatic handgun was found in the SUV, police said, but no weapon was found on Brisbon.

A Phoenix police spokesman said on Wednesday that Rine, 30, remained on non-enforcement duties.

The Phoenix shooting occurred when U.S. attention was focused on law enforcement officers’ actions after unarmed black men were killed by white police officers, including in Ferguson, Missouri, and New York City.

A civil rights activist said late on Wednesday that he would seek a federal investigation into Brisbon’s death and vowed that there would be more protests, and possibly civil disobedience, in coming days.

Hmm, maybe the DOJ will find racial bias in their "separate" investigation. We all know won't shit happen to the cop

So no drugs nor guns found and he got the death penalty?

An unarmed black man is dead after being beaten by New Jersey law enforcement and bit by a police dog, according to witnesses. Police in the southern Jersey town say the suspect was reaching for an officer’s gun while they were trying to arrest him.

Vineland police were responding to a call about a disorderly person on Tuesday morning. When they arrived, they encountered 32-year-old Phillip White.

An anonymous witness told KYW that White was stumbling around a neighbor’s fence when an officer pulled up and asked White if he needed medical assistance. The interaction then turned into an altercation.

“He started freaking out, he started like getting crazy, yelling,” the witness said. “He threw a roundhouse kick and he missed the officer and the officer obviously tackled him.”

He said the officer tackled White and then the officer’s partner and a police K9 subdued White.

“He didn’t want to listen. So they were telling him put your hands behind your back, put your hands behind your back. They were mushing his head to the floor,” he recalled.

Agustin Ayala of Ayala Towing told the Daily Journal he was driving his tow truck when he saw two police cars on the street and two officers, including a K9 unit, trying to handcuff a man.

"He was resisting," Ayala said of White.

The officers were able to handcuff White and bring him to the ground. Ayala asked them to stop because he was concerned for the man’s welfare, he said.

One officer told him, “You didn’t see him try to take my gun,” Ayala told the Daily Journal.

But officers weren’t the only ones involved in the arrest.

"They punched him, stomped him, kicked him and then they let the dog out of the car," witness Ricardo Garcia told WCAU. "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."

A dog is heard barking on a police dispatch recording of the incident, according to the NBC affiliate.

"Subject...hyperventilating. Officers out," the dispatcher says in the recording.

"Slow all units down," an officer then says. "Subject under...tried disarming me."

One of the emergency responders told the dispatcher, “He’s got my gun, right now,” and “He tried to turn on me,” according to scanner traffic recorded by KYW.

White became unresponsive while in an emergency transport vehicle on his way to the hospital, Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae wrote in a statement, noting that a police officer was present during the ride. Medical personnel performed CPR on him, but he was pronounced dead at the hospital.

“Events that transpired between the time of the officer’s arrival and White’s transport to the hospital are under investigation by the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office. An autopsy is pending,” Webb-McRae said. “Sources have indicated that there may be video recording(s) of the events that transpired at the Grape Street location.”

Both the county prosecutor and the Vineland Police Department asked witnesses with information to come forward to help with the investigation.

“As many of you have already heard, earlier today a tragedy occurred involving Officers and a citizen. Sadly, this call for service resulted in an ‘in-custody, non-shooting death’,” Vineland Police Chief Timothy Codispoti wrote in a statement. “Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased and with the Officers involved. I ask that everyone allow time for our justice system to now investigate this matter to its truthful conclusion.“

White’s aunt, Valerie White, told WCAU that she is desperate for answers about what happened to her nephew.

“Why, what he was doing, I don't know," she said. "I'm trying to get answers and closure now. He lived a street life but he was a human being. Bottom line."

White’s mom is too distraught to speak publicly, but she wants answers, civil rights activist Walter Hudson told KYW.

“She’s a very hard working woman and things like that and it’s very painful to get a phone call that your son is dead,” said Hudson.

White is the 290th person to be killed by police in America in the first 90 days of 2015, according to killedbypolice.net. He was the second in-custody death in Cumberland County in March, as well as the third person to die in that area of Vineland in the last three weeks, the Daily Journal reported.

White was the father of three young children. His official cause of death has not been released.
