I thought about this yesterday. We used to hear stories of our black people being harassed and killed by law enforcement; we just couldn’t prove it. Now we see and have videos and nothing is happening.

When is the revolution coming? It’s time to rise up and take the law of our community in our own hands.

I’m sick of seeing and hearing about our black people being hurt or killed by the people that’s supposed to protect and serve.

There are efforts all around the country like this but of course they aren't being publicized. I believe there's somethings like that in Chicago
But none the less it's going to take some time and the right people to lead that the majority of people can trust

I refuse to watch that video. Hope the worst for those cops in every way possible.

Jay-Z just hired a lawyer for that family. Also, apparently the Chief of that department uncovered a vast amount of racist comments and posts under a Facebook page. They're comments, posts, and memes from multiple officers from various departments.

Stuff like this tweet is what pisses me off. Guy says “no one got shot” like this should just be swept under the table.

Aurora Man Shot Dead in July 4 Fireworks Dispute Identified as Jaharie Wheeler; State Prison Officer is Suspected Shooter

The man shot to death July 4 following a disagreement over fireworks at an Aurora apartment complex has been identified as Jaharie Wheeler, 36, according to the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.

Wheeler died after being shot in the chest, and his death has been ruled a homicide, according to Arapahoe County Coroner Dr. Kelly Lear. He died shortly after 11 p.m. at the Aurora South Medical Center.

Aurora police responded to the Greensview apartment complex at 16498 E. Alameda Place. about 10:30 p.m. after receiving multiple reports of a shooting in the area, according to police. First responders found Wheeler with a gunshot wound in the courtyard of the complex.

Witnesses later told police Wheeler had gotten into a fight with Scott Mathews, 26, after Mathews had head-butted and pointed a handgun at Wheeler’s girlfriend, 38-year-old Shamira Cotton, in the courtyard. Mathews, an officer with the state Department of Corrections, had gotten into a shouting match with Cotton moments before the shooting due to a disagreement over lighting fireworks in the area, according to an arrest affidavit filed against Matthews.

Katherine O’Neal, 27, told police she and Mathews had gotten into a verbal argument with Cotton and Wheeler because they were concerned their dogs would become anxious and frightened by fireworks being set off in the area. Cotton and Wheeler’s children, ages 9 and 14, were lighting fireworks in the courtyard after the family returned from attempting to watch the city’s Fourth of July Spectacular at the Aurora municipal center, according to the affidavit. They said bad weather was among reasons they didn’t stay for the Aurora display.

O’Neal, who is also a Department of Corrections employee, told police she also drew her handgun during the altercation, but never pointed her weapon toward anyone.

Cell phone video footage of the incident showed Wheeler pushing Mathews and punching him in the head, according to the arrest document. Mathews can then be seen drawing a semi-automatic handgun and shooting Wheeler once in the chest.

Mathews then attempted to rendered aid to Wheeler, but witnesses told him to back away, according to the affidavit.

Police arrested Mathews the following day.

Mathews is currently being held at the Arapahoe County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond, according to county records. He is scheduled to appear next in Arapahoe County District Court at 3 p.m. on Sept. 13.

New Jersey Cop Who Overdosed on Heroin in Patrol Car While on Duty Loses Job

New Jersey cop who overdosed on heroin in patrol car while on duty loses job

Matthew D. Ellery, 29, of Middlesex, was sworn in as a police officer with the Franklin Township Police Department in August 2016, according to Lt. Philip Rizzo, a department spokesman. Ellery was assigned to the patrol division.

Shortly after 1 a.m. on April 7, Ellery was working when dispatch attempted to reach him via police radio, according to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office. After he failed to respond, an officer went looking for him at his last known location and found him unresponsive in the driver's seat of his patrol car that was parked in the driveway of a business.

The responding officer, who is also an emergency medical technician, determined that Ellery was experiencing an opiate overdose and gave him two doses of Naloxone, a medication commonly referred to as Narcan that reverses opioid overdoses.

Ellery pleaded guilty in superior court Friday to possession of heroin and driving while intoxicated.

As part of his plea deal, Ellery will forfeit his job as a police officer. He will also lose his driver's license for seven months.

New York Police Officer Kills Himself, Third Police Suicide in 10 Days

A 29-year-old New York police officer fatally shot himself near his Staten Island precinct station house Friday afternoon, the third member of the department to kill himself in 10 days.

The police declined to release the officer’s name or to provide more details about his position, other than to say that he had been a New York police officer for six years before he shot himself inside a car near the 121st Precinct station house at about 3:50 p.m.

His death came as the department had already been rocked by the suicides of a veteran deputy chief and a longtime homicide detective this month, which had prompted the police commissioner, James P. O’Neill, to urge the police to discuss mental health and seek help if they are despondent.

The commissioner reiterated that message in a statement on Friday evening.

“We — the N.Y.P.D. and the law enforcement profession as a whole — absolutely must take action,” Commissioner O’Neill said in the statement. “This cannot be allowed to continue. Cops spend so much of their days assisting others. But before we can help the people we serve, it is imperative that we first help ourselves.”



Four members of the New York Police Department have killed themselves this year. That is the same number as in all of 2018.

“Today our city is mourning the loss of another officer gone too soon,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a tweet Friday. “Three brave members of our police force have taken their lives in recent days. All of them led lives that made their communities better. All of their lives had meaning.”

Deputy Chief Steven J. Silks, 62, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on June 5, a month before his mandatory retirement. He had spent 38 years on the force and was known to be an outdoorsman, marathon runner and mountaineer.

The following day, Detective Joseph Calabrese went missing. A search party comprising helicopters, divers and 100 officers searched for Detective Calabrese, 58, after his empty vehicle was discovered beside the Belt Parkway. Detective Calabrese’s body was found near Plumb Beach. He had been on the force for 37 years.
