    Badge Abusin’ Becky: White Alabama Cop Uses Stun Gun On Handcuffed Black Man ‘Shut Yo B***h A** Up!’

    Wonder why they call you “pig“? Here’s why.

    An Alabama cop, a white woman, is the main character in today’s ACAB agenda after millions of people have viewed yet another viral video showing a Black body being abused by a state-sanctioned gang. According to NBCNews, the officer in question works for the Reform Police Department and although the article doesn’t call her by name, Twitter (we’re never calling it ‘X’) has done its thing and outed her identity as Dana Elmore. You can see her name on the “life-saving” award that she won back in 2021 in the photo below.

    Elmore is social media enemy #1 for the way she used her stun gun, cursed at, and belittled a Black man who was handcuffed, fully compliant, and not posing the slightest appearance of a threat.

    The video below may be triggering. Please consider your mental health before pressing play.

    You hear the excitement in her voice when she removes the man’s firearm from his pants? It was like she got all the green light she needed to subject this man to physical abuse for exercising his Second Amendment rights DESPITE the fact that he was fully incapacitated at that point. Moreover, in the words of the honorable Queen Latifah, “Who you callin’ a a b!tch?!?” If the man has committed some crime, take him to jail and the justice do what it does but who the hell does this uniformed jar of spoiled chitlins think she is??

    In response to the attention being drawn to the video, here’s what the department brass had to say:

    In a brief statement, police Chief Richard Black and Reform Mayor Melody Davis said they were aware of the video, and the department is “in the process of turning over all materials related to this arrest to the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation.”

    “In accordance with City Policy, the officer involved has been placed on administrative leave while the investigation is conducted,” the statement said.

    Put this broad in jail, in general population, for at least one year. We’re sure she’ll get the attitude adjustment that she so richly deserves…

    Elijah McClain is dead and those responsible are getting six figures and jobs.

    Nathan Woodyard was found not guilty of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide and now, according to The Guardian, he’s getting his job back and a fat check to go along with it. A spokesperson for the city of Aurora says that a city law mandated that Woodyard be offered his job back as a result of the exonerating verdict. Woodyard was the first officer to contact McClain after police received a call about a man who “looks sketchy” and eventually put the 23-year-old in a chokehold that led him to exclaim, “I can’t breathe” multiple times.

    “[Woodyard] has elected to reintegrate with the APD and is currently on Restricted Duty (not in uniform, no public contact, and no enforcement actions) pending next steps in the reintegration process,” a city spokesperson, Ryan Luby, said in an email

    The caller made it clear to the 911 operator that McClain was not carrying any weapons and was not causing damage or behaving in any way that suggested that he was violent. There was no reason whatsoever for Woodyard and his goons in blue should have approached him with aggression, much less try to subdue or arrest him. The last words that Elijah McClain can be heard saying to officers are, “I’m so sorry. I have no gun. I don’t do that stuff. I don’t do any fighting … I don’t even kill flies! I don’t eat meat … I respect all life … Forgive me! All I was trying to do was become better.”

    F**k this pig and the jury that let him slide on killing a young Black man. Amerikkka is trash.

  • Tyre Nichols: Ex-Memphis Cop Desmond Mills Pleads Guilty To Federal And State Charges, Agrees To Cooperate With Prosecutors

    Tyre Nichols: Ex-Memphis Cop Desmond Mills Pleads Guilty To Federal And State Charges, Agrees To Cooperate With Prosecutors

    The “alleged” murder of Tyre Nichols was another soul-crushing example of how police treat the citizens that they swore to protect, especially the Black citizens. What makes this case particularly galling is the fact that all five of the “blue lives” that worked together to end Nichols’ are Black men. It really be your own people. In the aftermath of the viral killing, all five men, Demetrius Haley, Justin Smith, Emmitt Martin lll, and Taddarius Bean, and Desmond Mills (the bald man pictured in the middle of the above photo), were indicted for federal civil rights crimes in addition to Tennessee state crimes including second-degree murder.

    According to KSL, Mills has formally entered a guilty plea to one count each of excessive force and witness tampering. In exchange for his guilty plea, the report states that Mills has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors which suggests that he will testify against his former colleagues in order to knock down his potential prison sentence from life to fifteen years. Tables turn fast when lawyers start throwing that four-letter L-word around.

    Ubiquitous civil rights attorney Ben Crump and his partner Antonio Romanucci are representing the Nichols family and spoke on the gravity of Mills’ decision to cooperate saying, “This is a monumental shift in policing today, watching another police officer who will testify against his own,” according to Daily Memphian.

    4 Ex-Memphis Police Officers To Appear In Court Together

    Action News 5 is reporting that four aforementioned former cops will appear in Shelby County Court today Monday, Nov. 6 to answer for the state charges against them including the second-degree murder charge.

    Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy, the lead prosecutor in the case, made it very clear what he expects from Mills if he wishes to dodge a life sentence in prison, via Action News 5:

    “He is fully cooperating and we expect him to continue to fully cooperate, answering all questions truthfully, testifying to his role in the incident and what he saw the other defendants commit at the same incident,” said Steve Mulroy the Shelby County District Attorney. “And if he deviates from that, if he does not cooperate or he provides anything less than a truthful testimony than the deal is off.”

    Not too often that a cop is willing to point the finger at his cop friends under oath. Hopefully, this will inspire some level of change and accountability amongst officers but we won’t be holding our breath.
