8902  Other / Politics & Society / Video of alleged Chicago police abuse on: May 22, 2014, 10:43:01 PM


"To protect and serve"







Published on May 19, 2014

A Chicago police officer hit a handcuffed, kneeling woman in the head, while another shouted racially charged comments at her and threatened she’d be murdered during a raid of a West Side tanning salon.

And the whole disturbing scene was captured on video, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court.

Filmed by a security camera during a Chicago Police vice raid at the Copper Tan and Spa in Noble Square last summer, the video appears to show one cop smack 32-year-old salon manager Jianqing “Jessica” Klyzek in the head with an open hand as she is on her knees, handcuffed.

Another large officer yelled at the 110 pound, 5-foot-2 Klyzek — a naturalized U.S. citizen who emigrated from China — “You’re not f------ American!”

The officer then ranted at a screaming and hysterical Klyzek that “I’ll put you in a UPS box and send you back to wherever the f--- you came from,” before warning her the spa’s owner “will f------ kill you . . . You’ll be dead, and your family will be dead.”

The video was released to the Sun-Times after Klyzek sued the cops and the city last week, accusing the officers of a hate crime, excessive force and attempting a cover-up by framing her.

While the video shows Klyzek as an uncooperative and unhinged arrestee, and is not as clear-cut as the notorious footage of off-duty cop Anthony Abbate beating a barmaid in 2007, it likely sounds unwanted echoes for police brass.

“I cannot imagine Supt. Garry McCarthy can face the citizens of this city and defend these officers’ actions,” said Klyzek’s attorney, Torreya Hamilton, who is calling for the officers to be fired.

“This city was built by immigrants, and in 2014 we’re treating them like this?” Hamilton added.

Police spokesman Adam Collins said the Independent Police Review Authority is investigating.

“The alleged comments, if true, are reprehensible and completely intolerable in our police department,” Collins said.

“We have codes of conduct that apply to officers, and if the allegations are proven accurate appropriate action will be taken.”

Initially accused of an aggravated battery of the officers, as well as ordinance violations, a bruised Klyzek was quickly cleared by Cook County Judge Paul Pavlus, who found no probable cause for her arrest.

Police then tried again. They pursued charges, and Klyzek was indicted for aggravated battery, alleging she scratched and punched officers on July 31, 2013, during the raid of the business in the 1000 block of North Milwaukee. That charge was also thrown out after prosecutors saw the video, the lawsuit states.

The raid was prompted when an undercover officer was allegedly offered a sex act by a masseuse in a back room, according to a police report.

The video shows plainclothes police march in through the front door, followed by uniformed officers, and attempt to apprehend an apparently confused Klyzek in the salon’s lobby.

“What happened?” Klyzek asked before becoming hysterical. During a prolonged struggle she then yelled “f--- you” and “I want my lawyer,” while one officer cried, “She bit me,” and another shouted, “Guys, she scratched me!”

At one point an officer said, “Can I just Tase her? F--- it. I can Tase her 10 f------ times.”

Temporarily subdued and kneeling, cuffed with her hands behind her back, she was screaming but appeared to be offering no physical resistance when an officer identified in the lawsuit as Frank Messina then smacked her in side of the head from behind.

Moments later another audibly angry officer — alleged in the lawsuit to be Gerald Di Pasquale — ranted that Klyzek is not a citizen and will be sent back to “wherever the f--- you came from” in “a UPS box” or killed by the salon’s owners.

A fellow officer is then heard to say, “Hey Gerry, stop talking to her!”

Officers appeared to have spotted a security camera but were unable to seize the video because it was recorded off-site, according to the complaint.

Quote
"...one of my wives"...

I was wondering about the same thing..

Maybe the full quote will clear things up:

"I do not agree with the ruling in this case.  If anyone is going to kill one of my wives it should be me.  As the court knows, by the law given to us by Muhamad (may the grace of Allah be forever upon him), all my wives, slaves and livestock, whether cattle, sheep or goats, are my property.  As the owner of these various properties it is my right to dispose of them as I see fit.  Upon discovering that one of my wives or slaves is a Christian it is my right, as the property owner, to carry out the execution per the laws of Mohamad (may Allah bless him)"

Or something like that.

Wow! It does clear things up! A thousand percent.... Can't wait for the feminist associations to fight for this case.... Roll Eyes

SC Woman Can’t Get Medicine Because ObamaCare Says She’s a Man





A family who was forced to buy healthcare is distraught after their daughter was denied medication because of an Obamacare error.

Shelby Higdon needs her medication, but has been repeatedly denied it because the information in her BlueCross BlueShield health insurance account lists her as a male, not a female.

“When it was time to get my medicine, they told that they couldn’t give it to me because on my insurance I was registered as a man,” Shelby told WLOS.

Her mother, Kris Hitt Hidgon, shares her daughter’s frustration. She has called healthcare.gov “probably about eight times.”

Each time Kris calls healthcare.gov, the website promises her that the problem has been solved, but when the mother and daughter call their insurance company, they receive the same response.

They have painstakingly battled healthcare.gov for over three weeks to have Shelby’s gender changed on her account, but healthcare.gov won’t budge and have been rude to the Higdons.

Stolen shamelessly from facebook.

A woman from Los Angeles who was a tree hugger, a liberal Democrat and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland in Washington.

There was a large tree on... one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land so she started to climb the big tree.

As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her crotch.

In considerable pain, she hurried to a local emergency room to see a doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist, a Democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her.

She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, “What took you so long?”

He smiled and then told her, “Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a “recreational area” so close to a waste treatment facility.

I’m sorry, but due to ObamaCare they turned you down.”

She was lucky the spotted owl's lawyer did not sue her  Grin

A California veteran is having trouble finding a doctor because of a faulty Obamacare plan.

Kyle, affected by chronic Lyme disease he contracted while on active duty, is frustrated with the lack of doctor availability on his Anthem BlueCross insurance plan. “I was on the phone with Anthem for two hours while they were trying to find me a doctor within 20 miles. Finally a supervisor came on the phone and said ‘Sir, we have to go, we have other people to help’ and advised me [that] I need to cancel my plan,” he told KPIX.

State law stipulates that insurers must have enough doctors to enable patients to get an appointment within 15 days within 15 miles of their home. Kyle was not able to find a doctor under these requirements and neither was Anthem. Inaccurately listed doctors are considered a violation of the law. The list of doctors given to CoveredCalifornia was incorrect.

Top Climate Alarmist Paul Ehrlich Predicts People Will Be Forced To “Eat The Bodies of Your Dead” Because of Global Warming Apocalypse…



Ehrlich, a Stanford University biologist famous for his widely debunked book “The Population Bomb,” doubled down on his climate change and overpopulation fear-mongering with HuffPost Live on May 21. Ehrlich warned host Josh Zepps that the dangers of overpopulation are growing, blaming Republicans and the media for failing to take action. While hawking a new book called “Hope On Earth,” Ehrlich’s co-author Michael Tobias praised Ehrlich’s older, outrageously wrong predictions and said they underestimated the problem.

Ehrlich, after falsely predicting  human “oblivion” 46 years ago, told Zepps humans must soon begin contemplating “eat[ing] the bodies of your dead” after resources are depleted.

Disturbing details are out. The woman was married to a Christian man for several years. They already had one child and she was pregnant with the second. The Sudanese are saying that they will stone her to death after the birth of her second child. And both the children will be taken away from her husband, to be brought up in an Islamic environment.

Let us observe the outcry pouring from all over the place and social networks. Let us admire the crowd chanting "No Justice! No Peace! Free Meriam Now!" Any hashtag from Michelle Obama #FreeMeriamNow campaign coming?

you may complain about michelle obama doing that stunt, but it got the media outlets talking about it.. and now a lot of people know what's going on. so it did have an effect, but you might just be spouting off the agenda of fox noise.

Viral Recoil: Michelle Obama's hashtag activism backfires with anti-drone campaign

The hashtag 'Bring back our girls' quickly spread on the web, even attracting the undoubted clout of America's First Lady. But, as well as raising awareness of the kidnappings of 276 Nigerian schoolgirls, Michelle Obama has inadvertently sparked an online anti-drone campaign. Gayane Chichakyan reports.

Hey maybe this will be an opportunity of Michelle to take her girls--at the taxpayers expense--on another field trip, this time to NIGERIA.

I am not a fan of the Obama, but I would be cool with that. The sad thing is all of this hashtag campaign is meant to protect hilary in 2016. Her department refused to call boko haram a terrorist group when she was secretary of state. Benghazi was bad already but now with those girls.. Really sad. It is still all political people.

It is interesting that we can go from feminist-bashing to NASA and back again. But, seriously, look up a book called "Merchants of Despair" by Robert Zubrin (link will take you to the Barnes and Noble listing). He kinda has a tendency to rant but has some good points about how anti-humanists have an unfortunate tendency to hijack otherwise good causes including environmentalism.

There will be no DNA data bank. The DNA samples were collected with the promise that they will be destroyed immediately after the analysis. The results, also will not be stored anywhere.

he thinks this is exactly what it makes you.

On a side note, he works during the pres shift briefing, someone had listed some of his subjects as UDA. Now, he said they usually list them as IA (Illegal Alien), and some of his people were all "wtf is UDA", and the presenter said "Undocumented Alien".

The only illegals he will accept as undocumented as opposed to illegal are the children, or those who crossed as children. Part of any criminal statute begins with "knowingly and willingly", well, children don't knowingly and willingly do much of anything he said. But the parents, they willingly did something they knew to be against the law, yea, illegal, yea, criminal.

What ya think?


From which country is your cousin coming from? If this not a secret of course.

Shocked Shocked Sea Level Rise Will Claim Statue of Liberty  Shocked Shocked


Climate change and sea level rise are threatening historic US landmarks, from the Statue of Liberty to NASA’s coastal rocket launch sites, and the nation needs to prepare, scientists said.

They include the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island in New York Harbor, which was the entry point for 14 million immigrants from 1886 to 1924.

Sea level has risen 12 inches (30 centimeters) around New York City over the past century, the report said.

Then came Hurricane Sandy in 2012, which flooded most of Liberty Island and all of Ellis Island, destroying most of their infrastructure and forcing their closure for months.

New York is now rebuilding electrical systems on the islands “as much as 20 feet above sea level and designing the heating and air conditioning systems to withstand flooding,” the report said.

[...]
Then there are also questions about what "whiteness" in Japanese animation and gaming really reflects; the short of it is, Japanese viewers tend to identify with characters that appear white (pronounced eyes, blonde hair, etc.), but in the case of Nintendo characters, at least the color has been consistent, with few-to-no cultural overtones to clarify its application.

Whatever the reason for white characters, they quickly became a trend in games like Super Mario Bros. (all white), The Legend of Zelda (all white), Kid Icarus (all white), or Metroid (one character eventually revealed to be white and female).

There were occasional exceptions, such as Mike Tyson in his self-titled Punch-Out!! game for the NES. Series hero Little Mac spent that game fighting a veritable United Nations of stereotypes. The Indian fighter, Great Tiger, wore a prominent turban and carried a tiger pelt. King Hippo, who hailed from a tropical isle, didn’t stray far from the facial design of Donkey Kong. (The game’s African-American trainer had a limited in-game bio, but it made sure to point out his status as a recovering alcoholic.)
