Most of the time, the brave men and women on our police FORCES are there to protect and serve American Citizens, but for whatever reasons, police brutality is on the rise in the UNITED STATES. Take the Seattle police officer, Ian Walsh, for example. According to video on the Internet at http://www.infowars.com/cop-punches-17-year-old-girl-in-face-girl-charged-with-assaulting-cop/, Officer Walsh was attempting to arrest a 19-year-old girl for jaywalking when her 17-year-old friend intervened. Officer Walsh then punched a 17-year-old girl in the face! Did the officer fear for his life, or was he upset the teenagers were not cowering to his authority? Officer Walsh is white (Caucasian), and the teenage girls are black (African American). In the past, race played a large part in police brutality incidents, but I’m not so sure the skin color of the American Citizens being brutalized matters anymore in the UNITED STATES. Did Officer Walsh adhere to the law, or did he violate the Civil Rights and Natural Rights of the 17-year-old girl he punched in the face?

Twenty years ago, a police officer would be wary punching a 17-year-old girl in the face for the hardened crime of jaywalking, but times have “changed” in this new UNITED STATES. According to http://news.sky.com, James Kelly, president and CEO of the Urban League of Seattle, said, “That appears to be an overreaction to what appears to be a non-violent jaywalking situation.” Most Americans would agree with Mr. Kelly. Since when did FREE American Citizens get punched in the face and carted off to jail by police for jaywalking? Is the UNITED STATES becoming a police state? If you can be carted off to jail for jaywalking or not wearing a seat belt, then freedom in the UNITED STATES is a joke. Assistant Seattle Police Chief Nick Metz said, “The issue we have to investigate is whether the force he used is reasonable given the combative resistance he was facing and we're not going to pass judgement on that until the matter has been thoroughly investigated.” These types of incidents can be difficult to investigate. After all, in this case, the Seattle Police FORCE is really investigating the Seattle Police FORCE…which seems like a bad idea. On the one hand, Officer Walsh was following the legal law of SEATTLE when he stopped the teenagers for jaywalking. On the other hand, Officer Walsh probably violated the 17-year olds lawful law Natural Rights, not to mention her legal law Civil Rights, when he punched her in the face and attempted an arrest for jaywalking. The two teenagers might have been “verbally antagonistic”, as stated by 39 year-old officer Walsh, but at the end of the day he punched a 17-year-old girl in the face for jaywalking. How does punching a 17-year-old girl in the face, for the not so hardened crime of jaywalking, PROTECT and SERVE American Citizens? With alarming regularity, many police officers are monitoring and controlling the lawful movement of American Citizens instead of PROTECTING and SERVING. Will Officer Walsh be punished for violating the lawful law Natural Rights of a 17-year-old girl, or will the Seattle Police FORCE investigate THEMSELVES using legal law and find no wrongdoing by Officer Walsh of the Seattle Police FORCE?

Police brutality is rising everywhere in America!!! Evidence suggests there are many factors, besides maintaining control of Americans, contributing to this rise in police brutality. One major factor is the UNITED STATES and its people have agreed to be governed by a legal “System”, which is not the same as being governed under a lawful “System” in the United States. A detailed explanation of the legal “System” in the UNITED STATES versus the lawful “System” in the United States can be found by downloading the free information at http://americanfreedombooks.com/. After reading the information, you’ll find legal laws are NOT the same as lawful laws—even though you were brainwashed into believing they were the same laws.

Officer Walsh will probably not be punished for punching a 17-year-old girl in the face. If the CITY OF SEATTLE admitted wrongdoing by their few rogue officers, they could be sued; but what of the fait of the two teenage girls caught in the legal “System”? Sky News HD reports, “The 19-year-old woman was charged with obstructing an officer while the 17-year-old girl was booked into the Youth Service Centre pending investigation of assault on an officer, and both were cited for jaywalking.” If a police officer’s life was in danger from a criminal, punching and even deadly force would be appropriate. That was not so in this incident, so why potentially ruin young lives for jaywalking by charging teenage girls with “obstructing an officer” and “assault on an officer” in a jaywalking case. These girls are now caught in the legal “System” where their young lives could be ruined because of jaywalking and being punched in the face by an officer of the legal “System”. With legally sanctioned police brutality on the rise in America, the girls are lucky officer Walsh didn’t shoot one of them for jaywalking. Rogue police officers have been known to shoot first and ask questions later, even when their victims are unarmed girls.

Let us examine the 2009 shooting death of the black (African American) 22-year-old Oscar Grant by white (Caucasian) 27-year-old Officer Johannes Mehserle in Oakland California as an example of police brutality. According to http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/01/08/MN2N155BAH.DTL on the Internet, transit police Officer Mehserle shot the UNARMED Oscar Grant to death while he was handcuffed lying face down at the Fruitvale Station in Oakland. There is detailed video evidence of this incident as well. Mr. Oscar Grant paid for this act of police brutality (police murder) with his life. What do you think happened to Officer Johannes Mehserle? He resigned before being compelled to explain his actions. Luckily for Mr. Grant’s family, there was much public outrage; otherwise, Officer Mehserle would have gotten away with murder. Usually, the District Attorney in our legal “System” will weigh the public outrage when a rouge police officer beats or kills an American Citizen. If the public outrage is great and remains constant, the police officer goes on trial. If the public outrage goes away, the rogue police officer goes free and usually stays on the police FORCE. In the case of Officer Johannes Mehserle, the public outrage remained substantial because, as this article is being written, Officer Mehserle is on trial for the murder of an unarmed American Citizen. Considering the amount of video evidence and eyewitness testimony at the trial, former Officer Mehserle should get what he deserves, and Mr. Grant’s family should get legal justice…which is the next best thing to lawful justice. We don’t know for certain if Officer Mehserle meant to taser Mr. Grant or shoot him with his sidearm. Either way, he should not have been tasering or shooting an American Citizen as he lay face down in handcuffs. There have been multiple tasering deaths at the hands of police officers as well. Turns out running high-voltage currents through the human body is not as safe as police FORCES would like us to believe.

In the two incidents above, black Citizens and white police officers were the people involved in police brutality. Minorities of color and police brutality used to be the norm in the UNITED STATES, but times are changing under the current legal “System”. For instance, there was a recent highly publicized police brutality case involving a white Citizen, Ms. Angela Garbarino, and the white police Officer Wiley Willis. An Internet search for “Angela Garbarino” will yield information and pictures regarding this particular incident of police brutality. Shreveport, Louisiana police Officer Willis arrested Ms. Garbarino on a DUI charge. While booking her, and committing possible violations of her legal and lawful rights, Officer Willis got angry because Ms. Garbarino did not like being treated as a second-class citizen with privileges instead of rights. There were words spoken between the two, which prompted Officer Willis to walk over and turn off the video camera recording the event at the police station. When Officer Willis turned the camera on again, Ms. Garbarino was lying in a pool of her own blood. Ms. Garbarino had two black eyes, a broken nose, two broken teeth, and other cuts and bruises. Police Officer Willis claimed she got her injuries in a fall on the police station floor—only an idiot would believe such a story. It was obvious Officer Willis had beaten Ms. Garbarino after turning off the video camera. Officer Willis was fired, reinstated to the same police FORCE on a legal “System” technicality, and then resigned once again. In a nutshell, there was no lawful justice in our legal “System” for the beaten and abused Ms. Garbarino.

Could the ever-increasing loss of our Natural and Constitutional Rights in the United States of America be a byproduct of the rise of police brutality in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? If our governmental EMPLOYEES wish to control us, permitting certain officers on police FORCES to commit police brutality is a useful form of control. Is the UNITED STATES/UNITED STATES OF AMERICA the same entity as the United States/United States of America? See the downloadable information at http://americanfreedombooks.com/ for greater detail on these very different United States governments. Are Special Interest representatives of the legal UNITED STATES, in all levels of government, turning the lawful United States into a police state? Let us turn to an article by David Packman at http://www.injusticeeverywhere.com/?p=2218 for 2010 data concerning police brutality. The National Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project (NPMSRP) has the following information concerning police misconduct from January 2010 to March 2010:

• 1,160 unique reports of police misconduct cited

• 1,410 law enforcement officers cited in recorded police misconduct reports

• 77 police chiefs, sheriffs, and other department leaders cited in misconduct reports

• 1,446 alleged victims of police misconduct cited in reports

• 52 fatalities attributed to alleged acts of police misconduct

• 16.5 law enforcement officers cited in the news for misconduct on average each day

• $54,320,000 paid out in settlements and judgments for police misconduct related civil lawsuits

The data above is for a mere 3 month period. To my way of thinking, 1,446 victims and 52 fatalities is a lot of police brutality in a 3 month period of time. Realistically, there is probably a considerable amount of police brutality in that timeframe which went unreported. Now you know why certain police officers, police FORCES, and cities are attempting to make citizens believe it’s against the legal and lawful law to video police arrests. Based upon the evidence, legal police brutality is not only rising in the UNITED STATES; it has turned into a legal epidemic! These numbers are high, but most police officers remain loyal servants and protectors to American Citizens. Nevertheless, why do certain rouge police officers feel justified committing police brutality against American Citizens? Could it be the people controlling the legal “System” allow epidemic proportions of police brutality to turn the United States of America into a police state ON PURPOSE. The current legal “System” in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA seems at odds with an American Citizen’s lawful, Natural, and Constitutional Rights in the United States of America.
