92-Year-Old Killed As Police Burst Into Her Home

[robotwithdreams]

two summers ago, a couple cities away, similar thing happend. Kicked down the wrong door guns drawn, gave an 80 something great granny a heart attack, oops.

This is seriously what i was listening to when i came across this thread. Its by The Coup and is called I Know You

Boots :, look man look
E-Roc: Yeah wassup man
B: It's that cop man, the one that sent my potna to the hospital
Hey pull over, come on
E: Coup let's with this hamhock motherfucker, there we go
B: Hey pig, yeah, remember me?

Verse One: Boots
I know you motherfucker, know where you live
You're the cop that knocked in my partner Greg Wiggins' ribs
But now he walks with a permanent limp
And it wasn't in a trip cause he's not a dealer or a pimp
And pig you make my gut crimp cause my whole family got knocked
Walcy Hawkins and her son's up in double-rock
And it don't stop to the funky beat
Till my people get together and kick you pigs off the street
I grit my teeth why can't I be like Rodney with a camcorder?
Seems we need one every time you get a court order
Or pull me over in order to check identification
I'm in the back of your car with a bruise or laceration
You're in the hood and it's one more disaster
We know you're here to protect and serve the master
Next time you roll through push the gas a little faster
Cause
I'll turn your blue suit purple, bastard
I know you motherfucker

Chorus x2
(Everywhere I turn)
(Everywhere I turn)
I know you motherfucker
I know you motherfucker

Verse Two: E-Roc
(Everywhere I turn I'm assuming the position)
I know you motherfucker, footprints in my door
On my back, on my head, through my house and once more
You did this to about six thousands on the block
You called my mother a hoe, you threw my brother in a headlock
So I inquire what's your role in my elimination?
Say you try to stop the rock so it makes me perspire
Hmm...but you work with a supplier
Ain't got a choir so it sure ain't one of salvation
But if I sung you a song it'd be of damnation
Cause all they do is let me sing in this damn nation
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, how many kids have you killed today?
Pig, now I realize our relation
Your occupation is to keep me in occupation
How many brothers have you left in a cast?

How many graves have you made in the past?
Useless! Not my task to even ask
But you'd better cease before I put a cap in your ass
Cause I know you
Chorus x2
(Now let me tell ya'll this little little story
This little piggy once came to Oaktown
See, cause this little piggy had a gun
This little piggy's gun was smoking
Cause this little piggy shot my son
This little piggy went wee wee wee all the way to hell!
I know you motherfucker, my face prints in your knuckles
Cause we stomped a mudhole in his ass, ha ha ha
You make a game trying to tame me for colonialism
Verse Three: Boots
Hit my head back to the rear and I can hear my knees buckle
And you chuckle...as the blow blurred my vision
No chains or fences here so you can make me think I've risen
The stars and bars are all you need to make a perfect prison
I'm given rations on the first and fifteenth
Just so I won't be out organizing in the street
And so I'm beaten in the court with charges trumped, see
My eyes is swollen and my nose looks like Humpty's
But I'm not laughing cause I'll take a bath in this one
The judge is looking at me like he wants to have me hung
Like O.P.D. was using me for Beat The Nigger class
I never swung, I got the dung kicked out my ass
Step two, say something like "Nigger you'll never learn"
(Step one, put the handcuffs on
Step three, throw 'em on the ground
Step four, kick 'em of course)
But there's an error in your reign of terror and the end is near
We ain't non-violent no more so get your riot gear
And fuck you up so much, they'll have to fuck you down
Stand in fear and guard your rear as we gather round
Assuming the position that you'll have to wear a bullet-proof vest
On your vest, I suggest you change your address
Cause we know you
(x2)
We know you motherfucker
(Everywhere I turn)
We know you motherfucker
(Everywhere I turn)
(Everywhere I turn I'm assuming the position We know you motherfucker

Utterly nauseating. This is bullshit. What's even more frightening is the amaizingly low impact shock incidents like these bring forth in a materialistic driven mainstream society, where concepts such as "human life", "human dignity" and even "the freedom to live" are nothing more than concepts uttered every now and then by "idealistic youth without jobs."

Shock news like this hits the media for one day. The very next, it is forgotten, and "life goes on." In almost all cases...never to be retouched or followed up...not even in the slightest bit. In effect, this sort of "quick rise" and "quick sink" stratergies, if done repeatedly, numb the general population into inaction from such attrocities.

While at the same time, the attempts to justify policy failures of the current administration in Iraq and Afganistan hogs up the media limelight for fucking months at a go. As if it were a soap fucking opera. PA-THE-TIC and SICK!!

Problem in the US is the very same question many Americans usually ask people from Socialist countrys..."WHO WATCHES THE WATCHERS?" The problem also in the US is that the shotcallers are the economic elite and not the political body. The government over there is merely a "bitch" or a "concubine" of the economic elite...who started the drug war in the first place. Add this fact to a consumerist / materialistic society where $$$ determines power and incluence and nearly all aspects of society...you in turn have a corporate dictatorship, marketed as a democracy- just to keep the people zombified.

"On February 7, 2007, it was announced that Georgia's district attorney will seek felony murder and burglary indictments against the three agents involved.The Rev. Markel Hutchins, acting as spokesman for Johnston's family, said her family members were "stunned and disappointed" by the announcement of the indictments because they believe it will disrupt a larger federal investigation of civil rights violations by the Atlanta Police Department.

On April 26, 2007, Smith and Junnier pleaded guilty to manslaughter, violation of oath, criminal solicitation, and making false statements. Smith additionally pleaded guilty to perjury. Furthermore, the federal probe into the police department revealed that Atlanta police routinely lied to obtain search warrants, including often falsifying affidavits.

Federal charges expected
In Junnier’s case, prosecutors asked the judge to withhold sentencing until after a hearing later Thursday in federal court, where he was also expected to enter guilty pleas. Federal charges were expected against all three officers.

U.S. Attorney David Nahmias told The Associated Press the federal sentence for Junnier would be 10 years and one month in prison. The state and federal sentences were expected to be the same."

well at least these doneky shagging, fucking shit eating granny killing, lying, meathead goats testes sucking, donut eating pig motherfuckers are gonna get their cummupance...
from a 200 pound nazi bike gang member cell-mate for each one to think of as "Their significant other" in the clink.
Well one can only hope...

[Getawaymonkey!]

glad those fuckheads are getting theirs.

10 years and a month isnt enough though..but all the gang rapings they'll get within ten years time,should make up for it some.

realistically though,..they will be securely seperated from the rest of the population and pampered...and will be heros to every fuckhead stooge that works there.Probably live pretty good in there...fucking jerkoffs.

All of this shit over a fucking plant .
If theyre going to make anything illegal it should be alcohol......this kills more people than all other drug use combined. Not to mention all the innocent lives it destroys on a daily fucking basis...But if they did that,... most politicians would all be on the other side of the barbed wire in fear of taking a shower...most of em' are drunks..but rich powerful drunks.
Good ol' united states of fucking nazis.... Makes me sick to be an american anymore.

 

[Guest]

I'm glad they will b serving time. What they did was total BULLSHIT. A word to the wise. They will "NEVER" hit general population in prison. The judge knows they will be killed in a matter of time. Them being cops in prison. They will most likely be sent to either a special prison or be houses in solitary confinement. They will be cops in prison and all the inmates will know this. Glad, to hear they will be doing time and they deserve every minute of it also.
Later,
BG

Documents Reveal: Cops Planted Pot on 92-Year Old Woman They Killed in Botched Drug Raid

By Rhonda Cook, Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Posted April 30, 2007.

Atlanta resident Kathryn Johnston's death has finally been exposed to be a case of police coverup in clear example of the insanity of the war on drugs.

According to federal documents released this week, these are the events that led to Kathryn Johnston's death and the steps the officers took to cover their tracks.

Three narcotics agents were trolling the streets near the Bluffs in northwest Atlanta, a known market for drugs, midday on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

Eventually they set their sights on some apartments on Lanier Street, usually fertile when narcotics agents are looking for arrests and seizures.

Gregg Junnier and another narcotics officer went inside the apartments around 2 p.m. while Jason Smith checked the woods. Smith found dozens of bags of marijuana -- in baggies that were clear, blue or various other colors and packaged to sell. With no one connected to the pot, Smith stashed the bags in the trunk of the patrol car. A use was found for Smith's stash 90 minutes later: A phone tip led the three officers to a man in a "gold-colored jacket" who might be dealing. The man, identified as X in the documents but known as Fabian Sheats, spotted the cops and put something in his mouth. They found no drugs on Sheats, but came up with a use for the pot they found earlier.

They wanted information or they would arrest Sheats for dealing.

While Junnier called for a drug-sniffing dog, Smith planted some bags under a rock, which the K-9 unit found.

But if Sheats gave them something, he could walk.

Sheats pointed out 933 Neal St., the home of 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston. That, he claimed, is where he spotted a kilogram of cocaine when he was there to buy crack from a man named "Sam."

They needed someone to go inside, but Sheats would not do for their purposes because he was not a certified confidential informant.

So about 5:05 p.m. they reached out by telephone to Alex White to make an undercover buy for them. They had experience with White and he had proved to be a reliable snitch.

But White had no transportation and could not help.

Still, Smith, Junnier and the other officer, Arthur Tesler, according to the state's case, ran with the information. They fabricated all the right answers to persuade a magistrate to give them a no-knock search warrant.

By 6 p.m., they had the legal document they needed to break into Kathryn Johnston's house, and within 40 minutes they were prying off the burglar bars and using a ram to burst through the elderly woman's front door. It took about two minutes to get inside, which gave Johnston time to retrieve her rusty .38 revolver.

Tesler was at the back door when Junnier, Smith and the other narcotics officers crashed through the front.

Johnston got off one shot, the bullet missing her target and hitting a porch roof. The three narcotics officers answered with 39 bullets.

Five or six bullets hit the terrified woman. Authorities never figured out who fired the fatal bullet, the one that hit Johnston in the chest. Some pieces of the other bullets -- friendly fire -- hit Junnier and two other cops.

The officers handcuffed the mortally wounded woman and searched the house.

There was no Sam.

There were no drugs.

There were no cameras that the officers had claimed was the reason for the no-knock warrant.

Just Johnston, handcuffed and bleeding on her living room floor.

That is when the officers took it to another level. Three baggies of marijuana were retrieved from the trunk of the car and planted in Johnston's basement. The rest of the pot from the trunk was dropped down a sewage drain and disappeared.

The three began getting their stories straight.

The next day, one of them, allegedly Tesler, completed the required incident report in which he wrote that the officers went to the house because their informant had bought crack at the Neal Street address. And Smith turned in two bags of crack to support that claim.

They plotted how they would cover up the lie.

They tried to line up one of their regular informants, Alex White, the reliable snitch with the unreliable transportation.

The officers' story would be that they met with White at an abandoned carwash Nov. 21 and gave him $50 to make the buy from Neal Street.

To add credibility to their story, they actually paid White his usual $30 fee for information and explained to him how he was to say the scenario played out if asked. An unidentified store owner kicked in another $100 to entice White to go along with the play.

The three cops spoke several times, assuring each other of the story they would tell.

But Junnier was the first to break.

On Dec. 11, three weeks after the shooting, Junnier told the FBI it was all a lie.

Note: Junnier will face 10 years and one month and Smith 12 years and seven months. No sentencing date was immediately set, and the sentences are contingent on the men cooperating with the government. Arthur Tesler, also on administrative leave, was charged with violation of oath by a public officer, making false statements and false imprisonment under color of legal process. His attorney, William McKenney, said Tesler expects to go to trial.

No doubt, they better hope they never make it to general population. If that happens and you can bet. They are dead no matter what. When it comes to a women that old. Those guys go ape shit when someone does something like that. Plus, them being cops and doing that to that old of a women. They won't last long.

Unless the slug was destroyed, this is total bullshit! Everyone knows they can test each officers weapon and match the rifling marks.

Yes, everyone knows that. Also, for those that don't know this. They can test the shell casing and match up the bullet that might be majorly deformed and match it to the same bullet. The back of the bullet doesn't get as deformed as the front of the bullet and it's allot easier this way also. The casing leaves markings as the bullet leaves the casing. So, there is no reason why they can't figure out who fired the deadly round. They just don't want to. allot easier for them in court. Trying to say, they don't know who actually did it. Better case for them in court. I hope they get the maximum term as possible.

Makes me wonder how many other innocent lives those cocksuckers destroyed then covered up.

 

[Guest]

Why would an old woman of that age need a gun? She got killed because she fired first on cops, it's not like the cops opened fire on her first! Come on people you say that if this happened to your family you would get revenge, well what if someone opened fire on you, shot you in the leg, the vest, and the FACE THE FUCKIN FACE! That old woman got what she asked for if you ask me! Who the hell immediatly starts shooting anyways? Most people point the gun and recognize the person they are about to shoot. Who cares if it was a mistake in anyway either, they got the warrent, they busted down the door, and were immediatly fired upon.

You guys hate cops to much to even realize the situation.

 

[bongoman]

Gimme a fucken break saix - they were in plain clothes, asshat, on a no-knock warrant! She's living there in a rough part of town, and they break into her house!!

She's 92, probably hard of hearing and of sight and petrified. It was murder pure and simple. They busted into her house, no uniforms. Pity she didn't take any of the drug warrior fuckers out.

 

[Guest]

THEY WHERE DIRTY COPS!

Plain and simple. Do not defend these fuckin assholes. They got the warrant Illegally.

Realize the situation. Have you read all the material on these cops. They lied, they forces a drug dealer to false a statement to uptain a warrant from a judge. They planted weed on the scene. The lied about their statement. They kidnapped the drug dealer and forced the drug dealer to lie about his statement. Thank god the Fed's got ahold of him. What more do you want for these FUCKIN ASSHOLE to be in the right.

These cops had no legal right to kick in her door. PERIOD. Your siding with these FUCKIN ASSHOLES.

Flame me all you want. All the facts are right there and a court of law will put these fucker where they belong. In jail with all those that they most likely put there by illegal means.

Really? Did the capt. who decided to call in the FBI to investigate the situation, the FBI itself, the judge, etc. Did they all hate cops to much to realize the situation? Did the U.S. Attorney?

BTW all those people I just mentioned are basically cops.

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to GoldDustWomen again.

They were wearing vests that said POLICE across them, sorry but that isn't plain to me.

Tell me why a 92 year old needs a gun, especially if she cant fucking see or hear!

 

[inflorescence]

Tell me why a 92 year old needs a gun, especially if she cant fucking see or hear!

Because it's a constitutional right.
The ironic thing about the second amendment was that it was enacted to protect against a well armed militia willing to do citizens harm which is EXACTLY what these a*hole cops were.
In other words, it was a PERFECT example of why the 2nd amendment was passed in the first place.
