Caron Nazario, 05.12.2020. Gassed and pushed to the ground at gun point – Windsor (VA)

December 5, 2020 – Windsor (VA)
27-year old. Pepper-sprayed repeatedly at point blank and forced to the ground at gun point

The Black and Latino lieutenant in the U.S. Army Medical Corps was driving to Petersburg, Va, and was wearing his Army uniform at the time, when he saw police lights flashing behind him. He drove to the gas station about a mile away to avoid pulling over on a dark road after he noticed a police car flashing its lights at him, so that he could be somewhere public and well lit while he interacted with them. He pulled over and placed his cellphone on his dashboard, as shown on the video.

Officer Daniel Crocker initiated the traffic stop because he believed that Caron’s SUV lacked a rear license plate, though a temporary tag is visible in officers’ body camera footage, according to the complaint. A police narrative filed as an exhibit in the lawsuit filed by Caron alleges that since the vehicle lacked plates, had dark tinted windows, and took a long time to stop after it traveled a short distance to a well-lit BP gas station before pulling over, the encounter was treated as a high-risk traffic stop.

Immediately, Windsor police officers Joe Gutierrez and Daniel Crocker can be heard yelling orders at him, while Caron remains calm and unthreatening:

Off. Guttierez: Keep your hands outside the window!
Caron Nazario: My hands are right here. What’s going on?
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Off. Crocker: Get out of the car!
Off. Guttierez: Now!
Caron Nazario: What’s going on?
Off. Crocker: Get out the car!
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now! Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: I’m serving this country, and this is how I’m treated?
Off. Guttierez: You know what? Guess what. I’m a veteran, too. I learned how to obey!
Caron Nazario: That’s —
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car!
Caron Nazario: What’s going on?
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: What’s going on?
Off. Guttierez: What’s going on? You’re fixin’ to ride the lightning, son.
Caron Nazario: I’m sorry. What?
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: What’s going on?
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now! Get out of the car!
Off. Crocker: Sir, just get out the car. Work with us, and we’ll talk to you. Get out the car.
Off. Guttierez: You received an order. Obey it!
Caron Nazario: I’m — I’m honestly afraid to get out. Can I ask you what’s going —
Off. Guttierez: Yeah, you should be! Get out!
Caron Nazario: What’s going on?
Off. Guttierez: Get out!
Caron Nazario: What did I do?
Off. Crocker: Get out the car.
Off. Guttierez: Get out now!
Caron Nazario: I have not committed any crimes.
Off. Guttierez: You’re being stopped for a traffic violation. You’re not cooperating. At this point right now you’re under arrest for —
Caron Nazario: For a traffic —
Off. Guttierez: You’re being detained, OK? You’re being detained for obstruction of justice.
Caron Nazario: For a traffic violation, I do not have to be out the vehicle.
Off. Guttierez: Really?
Caron Nazario: You haven’t even told me why I’m being stopped.
Off. Guttierez: Really?
Caron Nazario: Get your hands —
Off. Guttierez: Get out! Get out of the car now! Get out of the car!
Caron Nazario: Get your hands off of me, please.
Off. Guttierez: Get out.
Caron Nazario: Get your hands off me.
Off. Guttierez: You know what?
Caron Nazario: Get your hands off me.
Off. Guttierez: Not a problem.
Caron Nazario: Get your hands off me.
Off. Guttierez: Back up, Daniel.
Caron Nazario: I didn’t do anything. Don’t do that.
Off. Crocker: Sir!
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: Don’t do that.
Off. Crocker: Hey! Stop.
Caron Nazario: Don’t do that.
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Off. Crocker: Sir, look.
Caron Nazario: Don’t do — I’m trying to talk to you.
Off. Guttierez: Get out!
Off. Crocker: OK.
Caron Nazario: I’m trying to talk to you.
Off. Crocker: I’m going to talk to you.
Off. Guttierez: Get out!
Off. Crocker: Just get out of the car.
Caron Nazario: Relax. Can you please relax?
Off. Guttierez: Get out!
Caron Nazario: Can you please relax?
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car right now! Now!
Caron Nazario: This is not how you treat a vet. I’m actively serving this country, and this is how you’re going to treat me?
Off. Guttierez: Back up, Daniel.
Caron Nazario: I didn’t do anything.
Off. Guttierez: I got him.
Caron Nazario: Whoa! Hold on! What’s going — hold on. Watch it.
Off. Crocker: [inaudible] deployed.
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car! Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: That’s [bleep] up. That’s [bleep] up.
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Off. Crocker: Sir, just get out of the car!
Caron Nazario: I’m trying to breathe.
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: That’s [bleep] up. That’s really [bleep] up.
Off. Guttierez: Get — open — get out of the car and get on the ground now, or you’re going to get it again!
Caron Nazario: I don’t even want to reach for my seat belt.

Caron was then pepper-sprayed at point-blank range by officer Guttierez, then forced to the ground and handcuffed. Caron’s hands remained up as he coughed and pleaded with the officers to undo his seatbelt and make sure his dog, Smoke, was not choking in the back. Liquid from the spray dripped down his hands and face. Once Caron was in handcuffs, the officers pulled him up and began to interrogate him. Medics also responded to provide assistance to him, who said his eyes were burning.

The video was released nearly four months after the actual incident and became viral with millions of views.

Later, Caron was threatened with charges that could have destroyed his military career if he tried to seek redress, according to the lawsuit. The officers allegedly told him he could leave without charges if he would just “chill and let this go.”

He was terrified that if he was going to move his hands below where Officer Gutierrez could have seen them to undo that seatbelt, they would have murdered him,” said Jonathan Arthur, attorney for Caron Nazario. Arthur said that Caron had good reason to fear for his life: guns were drawn when police approached his car, and officers gave him conflicting demands, he said. In body camera footage, Gutierrez is heard telling him he was “fixin’ to ride the lightning, son,” which the lawsuit describes as a “colloquial expression for an execution,” particularly in reference to the electric chair.

He’s seeking $1 million in compensatory damages, claiming the two officers violated his rights guaranteed under the First and Fourth Amendments. The suit, filed in US District Court and first reported by the Virginian-Pilot, claims the officers used excessive force during the stop in December. Caron also accused the officers of threatening to destroy his military career by charging him with multiple crimes if he complained about their conduct.

Casey Christopher Goodson Jr., 04.12.2020. Shot dead – Columbus (OH)

December 4, 2020 – Columbus (OH)
23-year old. Shot dead : deceased

Casey was carrying a Subway sandwich and was on his way back from the dentist’s office when he was fatally shot in the back three times by Jason Meade, a 17-year veteran FCSO Deputy assigned full time to U.S. Marshal’s office fugitive task force.

Law enforcement officers, however, tell a different story. They say Casey drove by and waved a handgun at Meade. The officer then confronted hi:m, who was out of the car by then, and demanded that he drop the gun. When Casey allegedly refused, Meade shot him, according to the Columbus Division of Police.

They are lying,” Kaylee Harper, Casey’s sister, wrote in a Facebook post about the department’s claims. My brother literally walked across the yard, walked into the back fence to get to the side door, had his Subway [sandwich] and [face] mask in one hand, keys in the other, unlocked and opened the door and stepped in the house before shooting him.

Casey‘s death was witnessed by his 72-year-old grandmother and two toddlers who were near the door. Sean Walton, the family’s attorney, said :

Even hours after his death, the keys that he used to let himself in the house as he was shot and killed hung in the door – a reminder to his family of how close he was to safety.

Family members are demanding the release of bodycam footage, police reports, and for an independent autopsy and investigation.

Rickia Young, 27.10.2020. Assaulted and separated from child – Philadelphia (PA)

October 27, 2020 – Chestnut StreetPhiladelphia (PA)
28-year old. Assaulted, arrested and separated her from her child : traumatized, internal injuries, Her nephew had broken bones in his hand and a large welt on his head

Rickia Young, a Black mother, was attacked by a horde of Philadelphia police officers while she was driving an SUV with her 2-year-old son and teenage nephew on October 27 as the city was engulfed in protest over the police killing of Walter Wallace Jr. earlier that day.

Officers descended on the vehicle, broke its windows, assaulted and arrested her and separated her from her child. Rickia’s arrest went viral due to a shocking video of the police swarming her vehicle, and after the National Fraternal Order of Police — the country’s largest police union — posted a photo of her 2-year-old on social media, falsely claiming he “was lost during the violent riots in Philadelphia, wandering around barefoot in an area that was experiencing complete lawlessness.”

More than a month after the police attack, Rickia Young is demanding the officers involved be fired. “The police have not offered an explanation as to why they acted the way they did that night. They responded instead with a police investigation into Rickia,” says Kevin Mincey, her attorney.

“Once I got close enough to see the cops, I stopped. Like, I stopped right there. I was trying to turn around. But it was like people came inside the street and was up there throwing stuff at the cops.

Next you know, the cops started charging, started running. My nephew was saying, “Lock the doors! Lock the doors!” because they was banging on the car, saying mean things: “Turn this F-ing car around!” and “Get out the F-ing car!” And they had yanked my door open. But by that time, they had busted the back window. They pulled me out the car, and they busted the other window.

I was up there yelling at them, like, “My son is in the car! My son is in the car!” And once they busted that window, they had woke him up. And they was up there, like, doing whatever they was doing to me, hitting me, throwing me, macing me. My son, the look on his face, he was petrified. Petrified.

I was asking, like, “What’s going on?” like, you know, “Where’s my son? Where’s my son?” like screaming, like trying to find my son. The officer had the nerve to tell me, “He’s in a better place: DHS.” You can say anything you want about me, but calling me — like, saying something like that to me is an insult. They, as a whole, the Philadelphia Police Department, treated me as if I was an animal on the street. An animal don’t even deserve that.

He is petrified. And he’s only 2 years old. My mom and my nephew asked him what happened. He was saying, ‘[bleep] car. [bleep] door. Open door,’ and up there banging his hand, like as if — like, you know, the cops was banging on the car. He just kept repeating it like he’s still trying to tell the story. Like, he acts out. He bite his nails. He pull his hair now. He never did those things before. He’s traumatized. He is going through something. He knows words, but, you know, he can’t express to me how he’s feeling.”

According to her lawyer, “They held her vehicle — first, after losing her vehicle, not knowing where it was for several days, according to what they told us. And when they finally recovered it three or four days later, none of her belongings were inside. The hearing aids were gone. Her purse, her wallet were gone. And the car had even more damage than when she last saw it after they had smashed out all the windows.[There has been no — there has been no explanation. The only thing that they’ve even tried to do is kind of workshop a story where they were going to accuse her of trying to assault a police officer. That was done after they had taken her into custody. When Rickia was in the hospital and being held at police headquarters, on her wristband it referenced assault on police.

But you can see from the videos that were taken that night that Rickia’s car never moved that night. When she came down Chestnut Street and started to turn and turn around, she stopped right there. She didn’t back up, because there were people behind her. There were people running towards her. She didn’t do anything to try and assault an officer. And that’s ultimately, I think, why they ultimately chose not to charge her criminally, because they had no evidence to support such a charge.

Fortunately for Rickia, there were two young women who were in the paddy wagon with her that night, and one of the women still had her cellphone on her, incredibly. And so, Rickia was able to get the young lady to call her sister, and Rickia was able to tell her sister and her mother then what happened out there on 52nd Street that night. And then her mother and her sister went out to 52nd Street to question the police.

At first, the police acted as though they didn’t know what they were talking about. And eventually they directed Rickia’s mother and sister to 15th Street, which is about four miles away from where all this happened — and 15th and JFK, to be exact, which is near where the Department of Human Services is here in Philadelphia.

And when they went down to 15th and JFK, Rickia’s mother found her son sitting in the backseat of a police car still in his car seat. And when she touched his hair, glass fell out of his hair. There was still glass from the car in the car seat. The police were just allowing him to sit in that glass.

Rickia’s son had a large welt on his head. She had internal injuries. Her nephew had broken bones in his hand. So, it’s a slow recovery from the physical injuries and an even slower recovery from the emotional trauma that they’re going to be dealing with probably for the rest of their lives.

Javier Humberto Ordóñez, 09.09.2020. Tasered and suffocated – Bogotá

September 9, 2020, Bogotá
46-year-old. Restrain with knees on his back and repeatedly tased : deceased

Javier Humberto Ordóñez, a 46-year-old lawyer and father of two was allegedly violating coronavirus social distancing rules (Colombia had a six-month coronavirus pandemic lockdown that began in late March, with the harsh restrictions eased two weeks ago) when he became involved in an altercation with police in the early hours of Wednesday Sept. 9 morning.

In a video posted on social media by friends who were with him, Javier can be heard shouting, “Please, no more, I’m suffocating” as two police officers continued to restrain him with their knees on his back and repeatedly tasing him. Javier was taken into police custody early on Wednesday where family members have alleged he faced more police abuse.

He died in hospital soon after.

Bogota’s Mayor Claudia Lopez called the police brutality “unacceptable“, but also condemned the violence in Bogota that resulted in deaths. Colombia’s defence minister, Carlos Holmes Trujillo, said rioting had killed seven people in Bogota with more than 150 civilians and police injured across Colombia.

Protesters took to the streets on Wednesday night not only in Bogota, but also in the cities of Medellin, Pereida and Ibague, attacking police stations and public transport infrastructure.

The government announced the two officers involved have been suspended pending an investigation, and an autopsy on Javier would be carried out.

Linden Cameron, 04.09.2020. Shot multiple times – Salt Lake City (UT)

September 4, 2020 – Salt Lake City (UT)
13-year old. Shot multiple times : wounds to his shoulder, both ankles, intestines, and bladder

Linden Cameron is a 13-year-old boy from Glendale, Utah who has Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism. Her mother Golda Barton told KUTV she called 911 to request a crisis intervention team because her son, who has Asperger’s syndrome, was having an episode caused by “bad separation anxiety” as his mother went to work for the first time in more than a year.

I said, ‘He’s unarmed, he doesn’t have anything, he just gets mad and he starts yelling and screaming. He’s a kid, he’s trying to get attention, he doesn’t know how to regulate.

Two officers went through the front door of the home and in less than five minutes were yelling “Get down on the ground!” before firing several shots.

According to an early report of the incident, KUTV reported that police were responding to a call about a teenager with a “violent psych issue”  who was “having a mental episode and making threats to some folks with a weapon.”

After officers from the Salt Lake City Police Department arrived, police say Linden ran and was then shot. “During a short foot pursuit, an officer discharged his firearm and hit the subject,” Sergeant Keith Horrocks said during a news conference. According to CNN, police also said that they were told that Lindenhad made threats to some folks with the weapon.” Barton claimed that she told police that her son was unarmed.

Linden is currently hospitalized in serious condition after sustaining severe gunshot wounds to his shoulder, both ankles, intestines, and bladder, according to his mom.

The police have not released the name of the officer involved in the shooting, or made public the police report, or explained generally why the officer shot the child, or said if he or she would be charged or face any disciplinary action. The department said it would release additional details within 10 business days, which is when local ordinances require bodycam footage be released.

Michael Forest Reinoehl, 03.09.2020. Shot dead – Lacey (WA)

September 3, 2020 – Lacey (WA)
48-year old. Shot dead : deceased

U.S. Marshals have shot dead Michael Reinoehl, an anti-fascist activist who was suspected of killing a member of a far-right group during a recent protest in Portland, Oregon, just hours after an arrest warrant was issued for him. Thurston County Sheriff’s Office said four officers fired shots during the raid.

The Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force that attempted to arrest Michael included members of the U.S. Marshals Service, the Lakewood Police Department, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department and the Washington State Department of Corrections.

He had been a regular presence at Black Lives Matter protests in Portland that have continued since the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020. Vice reported he was arrested in July for carrying a loaded gun at one demonstration and for resisting arrest, and he later said he was shot in the arm by a separate right-wing protester during a skirmish.Vice News aired an exclusive interview with Michael Reinoehl, who appeared to admit to shooting Aaron Danielson, a member of the far-right Patriot Prayer group.

 “I felt that my life and other people around me’s lives were in danger, and I felt like I had no choice but to do what I did. … They want to paint a picture of antifa having major involvement. A lot of people don’t understand what antifa represents. And if you just look at the basic definition of it, it’s just anti-fascist. And I am 100% anti-fascist. I’m not a member of antifa. I’m not a member of anything. Honestly, I hate to say it, but I see a civil war right around the corner. That shot felt like the beginning of a war.

In the Vice interview, Michael said he had acted in self-defense, believing that he and a friend were about to be stabbed. “I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color, but I wasn’t going to do that.”

The shooting of Michael came around the same time President Donald Trump lashed out on Twitter, calling for Portland police to arrest “the cold blooded killer of Aaron ‘Jay’ Danielson.” “Do your job, and do it fast. Everybody knows who this thug is,” Trump tweeted. “No wonder Portland is going to hell!

Nathaniel Dingess, a witness to the police killing, says Michael was clutching his phone and eating candy outside an apartment complex on September 3 when officers in two unmarked cars converged on him. Dingess says the officers never announced themselves or gave commands before opening fire. He says Michael Reinoehl did not appear to have a gun and was not threatening officers before he was killed in a hail of police gunfire.

Justice and Light for Michael and his family and friends !

Deon Kay, 02.09.2020. Shot dead – Washington (DC)

September 2, 2020 – Washington (DC)
18-year old. Shot dead : deceased

According to several local outlets report that on September 2, Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to the scene in SE DC after reports of a man brandishing a weapon were made. Police officers say they approached the vehicle, which had several occupants and two of them took off running. The police claim that one of the occupants pulled a weapon from his waistband, and he was shot by one of the officers in the chest.

Contradicting earlier reports from family and observers that Deon was shot in the back, redacted bodycam footage shows Alexander Alvarez, the officer in pursuit who saw the handgun Deon was brandishing and attempting to toss and fire one single shot to the teen’s chest.

Officers reportedly administered first aid and Deon was later transported to a local hospital where he died. The gun police reported seeing in Deon’s hand was found 98 feet from the scene of the shooting

Natasha Kay, his mother, told after the shooting that there had been tension between police and residents of Ward 8, which includes neighborhoods dealing with economic challenges and high crime rates. Monica Hopkins of the ACLU of the District of Columbia condemned the police response. She said, “The tragic shooting and death of 18-year-old Deon Kay is the logical conclusion of a policy that not only meets violence with violence, but actually escalates and incites it — especially in our Black communities.

Justice and Light for Deon, his family and friends !

The video footage showed him waving his hand across his throat as he struggles to breathe during the arrest.a voice can be heard saying “Chill out or I’ll choke you out, chill out or you’re going to sleep“.

In his own words, Hassan explained :

“I was afraid for my life, I thought ‘that’s it, he’s going to end up killing me’. [] I honestly thought it was my final moments, I was in shock, I was really scared. [] I was just thinking about my family, I thought ‘He’s not going to let go, he’s going to keep going, he’s going to finish me. [] I was in pain, I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t feel anything, I couldn’t even gasp for air. He carried on, then he punched me in my face. [] This is the same thing that happened to George Floyd – it’s happening on our streets too.”

Hassan was arrested on suspicion of assault after the incident and released pending investigation. Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Osman Khan, of West Yorkshire Police, said “The officer has been removed from frontline operational duties” pending investigation.

Marcus Coutain, 17.07.2020. Suffocated – London

July 17, 2020 – North Islington – London
45 year-old. Feared for his life while officer was kneeling on his neck

Police were called to reports of a fight in Isledon Road around 6.30pm. What happened next emerged with a video footage filmed by an anonymous witness and released on social media.

An officer can be seen pinning Marcus to the ground with his knee on his head, telling him to “stay down” – while another policeman is restraining his legs.

Marcus seems distressed and screams “Get off my neck!“. The officer, still kneeling on him : “Are you gonna behave yourself?” “I ain’t done anything wrong,” replies Marcus.

Several members of the public plead with the officer to “stay calm” and urge him to take his knee away from his neck. The officer removes his knee and orders bystanders to “Back up” – before telling one to “Shut it” when they challenge him.

The officer continues to use his hand to force Marcus‘s head down as he writhes on the concrete, and witnesses plead with everybody to “relax“.

The first officer then stands up and walks towards the crowd, ordering them back – as a woman shouts: “That’s a human being. Do not press on his head.

Several more police officers arriving on the scene as tension among the crowd escalates. Witnesses tell the newly arrived officers that they have been videoing the incident and urge them to “arrest the officer“. A woman heard giving a statement to a constable says: “It’s okay to arrest him but don’t push his head and then kneel on him. It might kill him, it might injure him.

Marcus was arrested, taken to a police station and seen by a police doctor, and later charged with possession of a knife in a public place and appear at Highbury Corner magistrates court.

Sir Steve House, Deputy Commissioner, stated :

“The video footage that I have seen today and is circulating on social media is extremely disturbing. I understand that many viewing the footage will share my concern. The man involved was arrested, taken to a police station and has now been seen by a police doctor. Some of the techniques used cause me great concern – they are not taught in police training. We have quickly assessed the incident, including the body worn video footage from the officers and their statements and justification for their use of force. As a result we have referred the matter to the IOPC. We will co-operate fully with the IOPC investigation. The officers’ initial interaction with the man and the events that led to him being detained have also been analysed.”

Chantel Moore, 04.06.2020. Shot dead – Edmundston

June 4, 2020, Edmundston
26 year-old. Shot dead during a wellness check

Chantel Moore, a Vancouver Island woman died after being shot in New Brunswick by police.

According to her family, she was kind, gentle and bubbly, and was making a fresh start to be closer to her mother and six-year-old daughter.

The police version

In a statement, the Edmundston Police Force said officers were called to do a wellness check on a woman in an apartment in the city. When they arrived, she emerged with a knife and attacked an officer, according to Insp. Steve Robinson.

The Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation woman loved dirt biking and swimming, and was devoted to her family, loved ones say.

Moore was born in Edmundston, N.B., but moved to B.C. as a small child and grew up in Nanaimo and Port Alberni, her great-aunt says.

She was adopted by a family from about age four until age 14 but ran away, and was raised by her grandmother after that in Port Alberni.

She’d lived in Port Alberni for the past four years and recently saved money to move away, according to one of her siblings.

“It’s shocking. It’s appalling. Policing in North America has just so deteriorated to this point to where we are on the verge of civil unrest here,” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said.
