Cop Lets a 11 year old girl die with Asthma

First it was the puppy throwing girl, Now a Cop letting a 11 year old die? wtf is going on with this world and people?

I honestly hope that the cop is found and he can experience what dying is like!

update:

An 84th Precinct cop was suspended without pay on Tuesday after apparently failing to assist an 11-year-old girl dying from an asthma attack as her panicked mother scrambled to get her to Long Island College Hospital in Cobble Hill.

Investigators confirmed on Wednesday that Police Officer Alfonso Mendez, a five-year veteran of the NYPD, had confronted mom Carmen Ojeda after she had sideswiped another vehicle near Kane and Henry streets in Carroll Gardens while driving the wrong way down a one-way street in a mad dash to get her choking daughter, Briana, to the Hicks Street medical center.

The frantic mother reportedly told the cop that her daughter had had an asthma attack while playing in Carroll Park and that she was trying to get her to the nearest hospital for treatment.

That’s when, according to Ojeda, Mendez claimed that he didn’t know CPR — even though all NYPD officers are trained in the life-saving technique at the police academy. Mendez then tried to give Ojeda a ticket for the car accident as her daughter gasped for air.

Ojeda continued to plead for help and Mendez ultimately escorted her to the hospital, but by then it was too late.

Briana, who was about to enter the sixth grade at St. Francis Xavier School on President Street in Park Slope, died in the emergency room.

Mendez left after escorting Ojeda to the hospital, prompting a brief search for the cop.

“He could have put my daughter in his car. He could have performed CPR,” an outraged Michael Ojeda, Briana’s father, told reporters this weekend. “I hope to see him one day so he can explain to me why.”

Hundreds of mourners, all dressed in white at Carmen Ojeda’s request, filled the St. Francis Xavier church on Wednesday. To the last, Briana was treated as a princess: Her coffin was brought to the cathedral in a horse-drawn carriage.

At first, NYPD officials claimed that the man in uniform who confronted Ojeda may not have been a cop. But by Monday, Mendez had been identified as the phantom officer as the search expanded to precincts neighboring Carroll Gardens.

Yet Mendez remembers the incident differently.

According to sources, he told Internal Affairs investigators that he had just finished gassing up his car at the 76th Precinct stationhouse on Union Street and was heading to Boerum Hill when he came across the car accident.

As he got closer, he noticed that someone was already performing CPR on Briana. The girl was also receiving oxygen from a tank that Ojeda always kept handy in the event of an attack.

He did confess to his claim about not knowing CPR, but said he didn’t need any prodding to escort Ojeda to the hospital.

“[Mendez] did what he could for Briana,” the officer’s family told reporters. Mendez refused to comment.

Calls to the 84th Precinct were directed to NYPD headquarters, where a spokesman would only confirm that Mendez had been suspended.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne did add that Mendez wasn’t facing criminal charges. District Attorney Charles Hynes’s office confirmed that no one in his office is currently investigating the incident.

From the news:

A sobbing father said it was definitely an NYPD cop who fatally delayed his 11-year-old asthmatic daughter’s desperate dash to a hospital — but police cast doubt on the grieving family’s claims.

Michael Ojeda said yesterday his daughter, Briana, died after a uniformed officer in a police cruiser tried to box in a car driven by his wife, Carmen, as she tried to rush to Long Island College Hospital.

“He was NYPD from the 76th Precinct. It was right on the side of the car,” Ojeda told The Post.

But police showed photos of all the officers in the precinct to Carmen Ojeda and other witnesses, “and none has been picked out,” NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said.

In America, now officially a police state, you will be tasered in your own home if you lip off to the police.

Senior citizen Peter McFarland of Marin County, California, discovered this after he fell down the stairs outside his home last year. On June 29, 2009, McFarland tumbled down the stairs and after his wife called paramedics the cops showed up. They entered McFarland’s home and tasered him because they claimed he was suicidal.

Coloradans Outraged Over Police Beating of Dog Owner.

Denver officials clash over police discipline after brutal video released

http://www.denverpost.com/commented/ci_15772710?source=commented-

Denver officials are deeply divided over the proper level of punishment for a police officer who was seen on video tackling and beating a 23-year-old man who was doing nothing but talking on a telephone outside a LoDo nightclub.

The video of Officer Devin Sparks repeatedly hitting Michael DeHerrera of Denver with a department-issued piece of metal wrapped in leather, picking him up roughly and slamming a car door on his ankle has prompted Independent Monitor Richard Rosenthal to push for the firing of Sparks and Corporal Randy Murr.

Rosenthal, who monitors police internal investigations, maintains Sparks and Murr are unfit for the force because they didn’t tell the truth about the April 4, 2009 incident. Rosenthal also believes the use of force by Sparks was excessive. The Denver City Council earlier this year agreed to pay $17,500 to settle a federal lawsuit brought by DeHerrera alleging excessive force.

DeHerrera, in interviews, has described police as beating him unconscious. He said he woke up in a hospital bed, with stitches in his head, and a swollen head. He said he later was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome.

“The video was so important because it showed everything that happened, regardless of reports or what’s filled out,” DeHerrera said in an interview. “The video speaks more than any of those words can.”

He added: “I don’t swing. I don’t blade. I’m on the phone. The only thing I hold onto is my phone. When I go down, I’m out, and that’s when he continues to ‘get my compliance.’”

The incident was filmed by the police department’s own High Activity Location Observation video surveillance system. Video released to the news media by the department shows DeHerrera doing nothing but talking on his phone with his father, a sheriff’s deputy in Pueblo.

Rosenthal, in a report to be released on Monday, labels as “pure fiction” the police report from Sparks that describes his force as justified because DeHerrera “spun to his left attempting to strike me in the face with a closed right fist.”

Police Camera Pans Away As Officers Subdue Suspect

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/24624599/detail.html#

Independent Monitor Richard Rosenthal is recommending that the officers be fired, but Denver new Manager of Safety Ron Perea only disciplined the officers for filing an inaccurate police report about the April 4, 2009 incident.
There are also questions of whether the police H.A.L.O. camera was attempting to cover up the incident since it panned away as the officers were subduing the man, identified as Michael DeHerrera of Pueblo

Danish Cops Prepare “Dog Kennel” for Copenhagen Protesters

Infowars
December 3, 2009

The following news article posted on the Ekstra Bladet website is translated from the Danish by Jens Angelsgaard, We Are Change, Denmark.

“The old buildings in Valby, which is intended to house the arrested protesters during the climateconference, bears all the hallmarks of a dog kennel.”

“346 people are to be held in the 37 cages in the old brewery storage facilities of world wide danish corporation Carlsberg.”

tates Ekstra Bladet a newspaper under the Politikens Hus/JP publishing corporation – which houses editor-in-chiefs such as former Bilderberg steering comitee member Tøger Seidenfaden now Trilateral Comitee Executive member and bilderberger Flemming Rose – the world known initiator of the “Mohammed cartoon crises”.

Moreover the danish parliament Folketinget recently passed legeslation – which enables the police to conduct preemptive arrests on the sole assumption – that the person has criminal intend. The danish police states that carrying an ordinary scarf or headdress in a bag – is considered an evidence of criminal intend. This is a surprise to some – beacause of the generally cold danish winterweather.

In ending it is relevant to add that the danish police – as reported by Ekstra Bladet – has announced that they will stop and arrest all passangers on busses loaded with demonstraters as far as 350 km from Copenhagen. Demonstrators against “COP 15″ are called “climate thugs” throughout the danish mainstream media.

Today the danish police held a press event due to its first purchase ever of mobile watercanons.

An amateur photographer taking pictures of Christmas lights was questioned by police under anti-terror laws.

Andrew White, from Brighton, was taking pictures in a busy town centre in nearby Burgess Hill when he was spotted and followed by two Police Community Support Officers.

They stopped him and asked why he had been taking pictures and if he was a professional photographer.

Mr White, 33, asked why they wanted to know and was told it was to do with counter-terrorism legislation.

Your Right to Photograph

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
December 2, 2009

Infowars has posted numerous stories and videos documenting police and security guards harassing photographers and videographers in public spaces. In the United States, it is entirely legal for you to photograph people, buildings, infrastructure, and even criminal activity in public, so long as you do not interfere with the police. You don’t need permission and the cops cannot legally stop you or confiscate your camera, film, or video tape.

Earlier this year, Aaron Dykes was threatened with arrest in downtown Kansas City, Missouri after filming the local branch of the private Federal Reserve building. Security guards working for the Fed approached Infowars reporters at a city park that houses the National WWI memorial and demanded that they provide their names and disclose why they were filming the building.

Dykes and the Infowars crew were legally photographing the Federal Reserve building but this did not stop over-zealous rent-a-thugs from threatening them.

Infowars posted a video of the confrontation, but YouTube removed it claiming it violates their terms of use. Apparently Google (who owns YouTube) does not want people to know Americans are denied their right to photograph in public, especially when they are photographing buildings where criminal activity is planned and carried out.

In February, an independent videographer attempted to photograph the Federal Reserve building in Washington from a public sidewalk and was told he was violating the law by a Fed cop. See the video:

In 2007, WeAreChange founder and activist Luke Rudkowski was threatened with arrest by New York police for refusing to stop filming on a public sidewalk outside the offices of Larry Silverstein. Cops dressed in street clothes accused Rudkowski of having a gun and a bomb in his backpack. “It is a serious federal and state crime to publicly state that someone has a bomb and is a terrorist when not true — like extreme example of yelling fire in a theater — and needs to be prosecuted,” Alex Jones and Aaron Dykes wrote for the Jones Report on April 27, 2007.

In Britain, under section 44 of the Terrorism Act, citizens taking photographs can be stopped, have their film or digital media confiscated or deleted, and can even be arrested and charged as terrorists.

The police state is not as advanced in the United States. For now, a photographer has the right to photograph in public, but that may change.

Below is a link to an information sheet that details your rights as a photographer. It is based on the Bust Card and the Know Your Rights pamphlet that used to be available on the ACLU website. According to Bert P. Krages II, who distributed the sheet, you may distribute the guide to others, provided that such distribution is not done for commercial gain and credit is given to the author.

“The right to take photographs in the United States is being challenged more than ever,” writes Krages. “People are being stopped, harassed, and even intimidated into handing over their personal property simply because they were taking photographs of subjects that made other people uncomfortable. Recent examples have included photographing industrial plants, bridges, buildings, trains, and bus stations. For the most part, attempts to restrict photography are based on misguided fears about the supposed dangers that unrestricted photography presents to society.”

Ironically, unrestricted photography by private citizens has played an integral role in protecting the freedom, security, and well-being of all Americans. Photography in the United States has an established history of contributing to improvements in civil rights, curbing abusive child labor practices, and providing important information to crime investigators. Photography has not contributed to a decline in public safety or economic vitality in the United States. When people think back on the acts of domestic terrorism that have occurred over the last twenty years, none have depended on or even involved photography. Restrictions on photography would not have prevented any of these acts. Furthermore, the increase in people carrying small digital and cell phone cameras has resulted in the prevention of crimes and the apprehension of criminals.

As the flyer states, there are not very many legal restrictions on what can be photographed when in public view. Most attempts at restricting photography are done by lower-level security and law enforcement officials acting way beyond their authority. Note that neither the Patriot Act nor the Homeland Security Act have any provisions that restrict photography. Similarly, some businesses have a history of abusing the rights of photographers under the guise of protecting their trade secrets. These claims are almost always meritless because entities are required to keep trade secrets from public view if they want to protect them.

Oakland, PA, Police Response Characterized as “Military-style Occupation”

Jerome L. Sherman
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
September 28, 2009

Activists with the Thomas Merton Center and other groups today blasted the police response to a Friday night protest in Oakland following the G-20 summit, calling it a “military-style occupation” that resulted in the gassing and arrest of dozens of bystanders, including students and journalists.

During a press conference at the center’s Garfield headquarters, some activists threatened lawsuits against the city and placed responsibility for the confrontation with Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and top public safety officials.

“I’ll say it very bluntly: The mayor should be fired. The city council should hold his feet to the fire,” said David Meieran, an organizer with Three Rivers Climate Convergence.
