The Railroading of Officer Jeremy Morse


One thing that has become very clear to me since seeing the videotape of the July 6 incident in Inglewood, Calif. involving Police Officer Jeremy Morse and teenager Donovan Jackson is that Officer Morse is being railroaded. For those of you not familiar with the term ‘railroad’, it means to convict with undue haste and by means of false charges or insufficient evidence.

Ever since this videotape was aired in heavy rotation on national television, I have seen a blatant attempt by politicians, activists, city administrators, and community members to deny Officer Morse of his constitutional right to due process. When that happens, we all need to wake up and realize that if it could happen to Officer Morse, it could happen to anyone.

The following are statements that had been made by several individuals at the protests or news conferences held following the airing of the videotape. Keep in mind that these comments were made prior to the completion of any of the investigations and based solely on videotape that was clearly only a portion of the entire incident.

“Based on the investigation he should be fired, no question about it, that’s my opinion.” – Inglewood Mayor Roosevelt Dorn

“Put some stripes on this guy, behind bars, Jeremy Morse should be in jail right now.” – Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell

“We are not saying that these officers should be put on some kind of leave. We’re saying they should be fired immediately.” – Civil rights activist Martin Luther King III

It should be noted that U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) also called for the immediate firing of Officer Morse in addition that he be charged with serious state or federal crimes without delay.

Did these people forget that Officer Morse is a citizen of the United States and that as a citizen of the United States, he is entitled to the same constitutional rights as every other citizen in this country? In addition to that, he also has rights under the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act. To immediately fire and/or jail Officer Morse would have been a violation of his constitutional right to due process. Or did I miss the small print that said law enforcement officers are exempt from these rights?

Then Mayor Dorn took his condemnation of Officer Morse a bit further with the following statement:

“In my opinion there isn’t any question about the fact that when this officer picked this young man up, slammed him down on the hood of that car, in my opinion, number one felony assault, number two assault with a deadly weapon – the deadly weapon was a car – number three battery, number four child abuse, and I’m sure if I looked there are other crimes.”

I’m sure if you looked, there are other crimes? Did you hear that ringing sound? That was the dinner bell that Mr. Dorn just rang to invite a feeding frenzy on Officer Morse by anyone that he may have arrested or come in contact with while performing his job as an Inglewood Police Officer. Each and every day that a police officer goes to work, he or she is putting their life on the line to protect law-abiding citizens. They often have to deal with unsavory characters bent on breaking the laws that are put in place to protect law-abiding members of society. Some of these people may not be easy to deal with or may be a bit disturbed that their illegal activities have been thwarted. And now Mr. Dorn has given them carte blanche to file their alleged complaints against Officer Morse, whether they are legitimate or not.

Also, it would appear as if the Grand Jury disagreed with Mayor Dorn’s opinion. Officer Morse has been indicted for a charge of assault under the color of authority, not felony assault, not assault with a deadly weapon, not battery and not child abuse.

In all fairness to the police in general, we should keep in mind that a police department that has no civilian complaints filed against it is a police department that is not doing its job. Some complaints are most certainly legitimate, however, it is not uncommon for criminals or cop-haters to file nuisance complaints in retaliation against their arresting officer(s). We should also keep in mind that some arrests will not go smoothly and that at times, some use of force is required. More than likely, the person on the receiving end of that use of force will feel that their rights have been violated whether or not the use of force is deemed legal and reasonable by law.

To escalate the situation even further, Congresswoman Waters sent a letter to Attorney General John Ashcroft demanding an investigation of the July 6 incident charging that it was racially motivated. There is no evidence that this incident was racially motivated or that it was with malicious intent. The facts may very well show that Officer Morse acted within reason given the circumstance that he found himself in.

One thing that is interesting about Congresswoman Waters is her propensity towards protecting convicted criminals. She has been steadfast in her efforts to have Lori Berenson, a U.S. citizen, released from a Peruvian jail. Ms. Berenson was imprisoned in Peru in 1996 after being tried and convicted for treason. In 2001 she was re-tried and convicted of collaborating with terrorists. Congresswoman Waters also wrote to Cuban President Fidel Castro to inform him that she was opposed to House Concurrent Resolution 254, which called on the Government of Cuba to extradite to the United States Joanne Chesimard. Joanne Chesimard is also known as Assata Shakur, a former Black Panther that was convicted in 1973 of killing a New Jersey State Trooper. Assata Shakur escaped from prison and is currently seeking political asylum in Cuba. In addition, Congresswoman Waters has requested Executive Clemency for Leonard Peltier who was convicted of the brutal murder of two FBI agents in 1975 and she has spoken out against the execution of Mumia Abu Jamal, a former Black Panther and convicted cop-killer. Whose side is she on?

Officer Morse has already been tried and convicted by a court of public opinion. It has been stated clearly that he should be fired and/or jailed immediately by various individuals prior to being found guilty by an impartial jury, which is guaranteed to him by the U.S. Constitution under Amendment VI. For this very reason, will Officer Morse be able to obtain a fair trial in Inglewood or Los Angeles for that matter?

Officer Morse was not actually imprisoned regardless of the many demands, but if some individuals had had their way, he would most definitely be behind bars. This is not some game of Monopoly where with the roll of the dice you go directly to jail, you do not pass Go; you do not collect $200.00. But some of these individuals have certainly made challenging Officer Morse’s constitutional rights look like child’s play.

And if that’s not bad enough, enter the protestors.

“No Justice, No Peace!”

Says who? Since when is the justice system of the United States of America dictated to by an angry mob? As citizens of this great country, we should all be very disturbed by the fact that the fate of Officer Morse may lie in the hands of people with such a mentality. It is already evident that the city administrators have succumbed to this pressure by completing their internal investigation prior to the criminal proceedings, which is not the common practice. The Inglewood Police Department is currently in the process of trying to fire Officer Morse. How can the decision to fire Officer Morse not have some impact on the juror’s decision?

As for the cries of “No justice, No peace” it implies that if Officer Morse is found not guilty (no justice), there will be riots (no peace). This is being said without all the facts of this incident being examined. It is being said based on the assumption that Donovan Jackson had absolutely no responsibility for this incident. When in fact, it is very possible that his behavior instigated and escalated the incident. Did it ever occur to the people chanting this motto that if Officer Morse does go to jail that justice has not been served?

It would not be unreasonable to ask people to consider that Donovan Jackson should share in the responsibility for the altercation that occurred on July 6. Afterall, 50,000 or more police officers are assaulted each year while performing their job. They are spat on, cursed at, physically assaulted and even shot at while performing their jobs. It is possible that the deputies and officers involved in this altercation were the victims of an assault. If that is the case, what I would like to know is when did it become acceptable to assault an officer of the law? And when they are assaulted, when did they lose the right to defend themselves?

The police and the sheriff’s deputies have all been consistent in their telling of the incident. They claim that Donovan Jackson became “combative” and that force was needed to subdue him and take him into custody. According to the incident report filed July 6, 2002 by Deputy Lopez, Donovan Jackson “pulled, scratched, and fought”. As a result, Officer Morse sustained lacerations to the left side of his face, left knee, left side of his head, lower neck and abrasions to his neck. Officer Darvish complained of pain to his right knee and Deputy Lopez sustained a contusion to his left knee and strained his left wrist and lower back.

It is very easy to sit back, comfortably ensconced in our homes and judge the actions of the officers, but there is no way for any of us to know what it is like for them to be involved in such altercations. They encounter dangerous situations every day; sometimes it’s a matter of life and death. Which is why it is only fair to ask that we reserve judgement of Officer Morse until he has had a trial, with an impartial jury, which is guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the United States.

This pussy ass cop beats up a tiny little kid after making a stop for tags? Bullshit. I don't believe Morse is nice because a few close friends say so. I belive he is heavy handed and quite possibly racist because of his distant backround from Ingelwood. Regardless, I am a woman, and a future mother, And a citizen, and I refuse to allow any shmuck cop with any hint of brutality to roam my streets. With cops like you who needs criminals?
We all know you bastards aren't squeaky clean and Christian, you probably don't even know most of what Jesus really said. And Lori Berenson was a humanitarian, how dare you? America doesn't stand for any of the things people say it stands for. Thanks to people like you who act like the KGB. My family remembers nighttime raids, work camps, being criminalized for race. Your priveledge may make you think it's ok, but nothing excuses a punk cop, nothing. He was a kid, the cop was big and strong, if not, he was just a jackass who didn't know how to use his force. Protect and serve, not HARASS AND VIOLATE. It's time police were held accountable.
I move that the people make a referendum that bad cops be fined, jailed and fired, and unfortunately, I'm a liberal and I can't say flogged as well. Plus they should be permanently barred from pentions. We have to trust our police. How many innocents have these men made into examples, it's time Morse be made into one as well. I just hope they try him in my area and I get called for jury duty. A good cop has nothing to worry about, but bad cops should serve severe penaltys, and see what it's like to face the judge on equal footing with the rest of us. They are truly no better, and we know that because we live with rude police daily.

Nawww, death penaty for them

"This pussy ass cop beats up a tiny little kid after making a stop for tags?"

Are you out of your mind?

Where the hell is the "tiny little kid"? in all of this.

The "kid" was a teenager who assaulted the cop and got what he deserved. Had he done that to one of his "homies" he'd have gotten shot.

So spare us the crocodile tears.

This couldn't be less of an issue. The cop mouths off and assaults a cop and he gets slapped around for it. Big fucking deal!

...well, no matter how "trivial" it may seem, at least we can always count on you to arise in defense of scum....

I should have known that the resident moron would chime in with some of it's patented copy and pasted views.

KFC, you are a fucking moron. That's not your fault. But being a lousy follower and sycophant is a choice and your guilty.

Obviously the cop hit the guy because the guy acted like an asshole and grabbed his balls. So he got his head slapped. SO FUCKIN WHAT?

Stop playing follow the leader.

.....and rise again.....

Shit!!! you are saying that the cops pulled over this kid and his dad because they had expired tags??

What a disgusting display of state police brutality!

You know how many seriously fucking evil members of society are caught by such a stupid and simple thing as expired tags???

You know how many members of the law enforcement that are brutally murdered because they pulled someone over on a "Routine traffic stop"? when they pulled over a bad guy???

I ain't going to give you those statistics. YOU look them up.

You may find that the death rate amongst rural traffic cops is WAY higher than members of elite tactical squads....

P.S Rule number one when you are pulled over by a cop.... be really fucking nice and do EXACTLY as you are told!!!!!

You may be pissed because you got pulled for a tail light, but the officer is "wired" and expecting the very worst situation. His adrenalin is pumping way over the normal limit and so don't act fucking smart.

If you are innocent then you can sort it out after the event.

Railroaded? Give me a break! What are you in the white cop protectionist club?

'Did these people forget that Officer Morse is a citizen of the United States and that as a citizen of the United States, he is entitled to the same constitutional rights as every other citizen in this country?'
This cop is supposed to serve and protect, supposed to uphold the civil rights of citizens! When he uses his state authority to abuse a citizen he is supposed to protect, he has betrayed the entire system! Did Officer Morse care about the Due Process of the teenager he beat in the face? I don't think so! This is no different that a Preist using his position of trust and authority to abuse a child! The evidence was pretty clear. The guy was in handcuffs, and clearly not a threat to anyone! Any sane person cannot see this and buy a claim of "self defense" from this bad seed officer! This officer abused his authority, and should be punished!!!

This post is a pathetic (at best) attempt to protect this abusive loser. Are you just another loser high school bully who couldn't get into the military, so you became a cop so's you could bust heads sometimes and not get into trouble? Pathetic white male protectionist ditto head!

"The guy was in handcuffs, and clearly not a threat to anyone! "

You know that this is bullshit. The guy's handcuffed hands were behind him and he grabbed the cops groin. The cop acted reflexively.

Morse should sue. More racist railroading of a good cop.

"Oh christ"

In addition to Christ, what other fairy tales do you believe in? Santa Claus? The Easter bunny? The Tooth Fairy? You're nuttier than a truckload of peanut brittle!!!

:-D Thank you for saying excactly what I think.

I believe in fairy tales, just like fresca.

...Caducada, you lying racist shit....if anybody grabbed the cops groin, it was another cop looking for a cheap thrill...

....you really do swallow any bullshit you are fed, don't you?

I swallow all the bullshit I'm fed. I'm a liberal.

I swallow all the bullshit I'm fed. I'm a conservative.

im sure if a black cop had slammed and punched a rich white kid in the face buchanon and these neo-conservatives wouldnt be on the cops side..

the bet
.

....by hating mexicans.

It seems to be unanimous. We all (all of us who count anyway) agree that Morse acted as anyone would in that situation and the real culprit is the thug kid who assaulted him. Morse should sue and the punk should be locked up.

Okay, lets move on.

Let's sit around and talk about it some more.

it's no fun that way, you stupid idiot!!

RAILROAD THIS. BOO FUCKIN HOO. HE IS A RACIST TERRORIST WHO BEATS CHILDREN. THE FACTS ARE BELOW.

This is in protest towards the organization "citizens for police" who are constant "trolls" on this site. This organization is formed by ignorant racist white people in favor of jeremy morse. Jeremy morse is the "cowardly" officer from inglewood california who is on trial for the chickenshit beating of an innocent child last july 6th 2002.

These images were captured by mitchell crooks who was present at a hotel nearby the gas station where, Coby chavis the father of 16 year old donovan jackson was parked pumping gas. Several LA county sheriff cars descended to a "parked car" and found a black man driving a "taurus" (found to be too good a car for a black man by racist police) with unregistered tags.

As mitchell crooks found in his young life, Cops have a hatred towards black people and whites who think about living in a unified world. This is how they (cops and law enforcement) infiltrate our way of being. Anyone who has ever been in prison knows how the cops keep order because of the hate they spread. They could not maintain control of the prisons or society's without spreading the racism. This is the ONLY reason they remain in control and corrupt.

So back to the incident. 16 year old special Ed student Donovan jackson purchases a bag of chips with the money left over by paying to fill his fathers tank. Meanwhile after drinking heinekens all 4th of july weekend, mitchell crooks is laying down in his hotel room. Donovan walks out of the small little convenience store to find his dad in a police car for unregistered tags on his car. All this time, a young man from New zealand is taking pics of the arrest from the balcony of the hotel. (this man was flown in by the jeremy morse defense to testify against Donovan jackson) After returning to his fathers car, a hothead pig asks donovan to get out the car and put his hands up. An innocent teen who goes to church and is respectful to all? Donovan was scared to death because he knew he did nothing wrong. But, when your black, pigs hate you regardless. This pig was threatened by donovans black skin. He ordered him to stand still and not move. Donovan then put his hands in his pocket. Having nothing to fear (why wouldn't he?) he reached for his pocket and thats when the inglewood PD showed up at the scene. 5 police cars total. For unregistered tags?

Inglewood PD had been briefed earlier that a "GANG" was planning a hit on a cop. And sadaam had weapons of mass destruction too? This is the excuse by the department for their actions this day. Donovan is NO gang member. His father had plates on his car, I m sorry a sticker on his car that was expired. (prolly due to the outrageous cost of registering a car which the majority is fully aware of. No officers in inglewood were "HIT" on that day or since?

So on this Holiday weekend, when amerikkka is celebrating it's independence from europe, A "terrorist" opens fire at the el al terminal at Los Angeles international airport (LAX) killing two people. He was shot and killed by airport security. The Homeland Security was on high alert since the terrorist attack on 912. Shouldn't we be more concerned about protecting the citizens from terrorists? An unregistered car is hardly a terrorist threat. All this time mitchell crooks is about to uncover a terrorist plot himself.

Alot of different stories about what happened after donovan put his hands in his pocket have emerged. first, nobody found a gun or a weapon on donovan. That is fact. Donovan did nothing wrong. In fact, his father was detained over an unregistered tag. That is fact. Now if donovan jackson was going to put a hit on a cop, i am the fuckin pope.

Donovan was "ATTACKED" by several officers and dragged by his "bling" (a necklace to the ignorant) across the ground by jeremy morse and bijan darvish. He was assaulted by carlos lopez (the sheriff sergeant on scene) as well as all the others. Donovan fearful For his life and knowing he was innocent, struggled to keep free from the Harassment of these pigs. He did nothing wrong. He was afraid of them. They were bigger and threatening HIM. Donovan was hit over the head with a flashlight and punched several times in the head. He was BEATEN by the LA sheriff and inglewood PD. All because his father did not fill some paperwork out at DMV.

This entire time, the man from new zealand (is that fag country) was taking pics of the arrest. Yet he was nowhere to be found once mitchell crooks started shooting the incident. A woman was watching the whole scene and was screaming and yelling during the whole scene. Now this woman is the true hero. She had the presence to yell the keywords out. "Dont resist" & "Stop hurting him" & "help"! she is the true hero of the day! Those keywords gave me the knowledge that pigs were hurting yet another human being. She was also not asked to testify during the trial of jeremy morse? Why? Because the District Attorney is in bed with the Police (fags). They are working together on many issues. Thats why we need a separate police prosecutor to get these pigs when they are out of line. PIGS NEED TO POLICE THEMSELVES! We need alot of extra shit like a police prosecutor and a new justice department. "You are so out bush it's not even funny". You can see my statements on that @ http://homepage.mac.com/encyte/Personal22.html at the october 22 2003 protest against police brutality http://www.october22.org/index.php

So as this woman was screaming I looked out my window and thought it was a fight at the hotel. When she said "RESIST" I knew it was my clue to grab my Sony digital8 camcorder from my backpack. The citizens for police org have stated "why do we pander to these lawless individuals?" I had been on a trip around the divided states of embarrassment. http://www.angelfire.com/hiphop/edog/lyrics/2.html or watch the flash movie here http://www.sundanceonlinefilmfestival.com/animation01_15.html
I was traveling around the states to film a documentary about america and it's rave culture. I had no idea the project would turn into a political one.

I raced out to see this woman in panic. She was keeping her kids inside the hotel room so they couldn't see the police terror going on across the street. I flipped open the view finder on my camera and started filming the incident.

When I saw donovan laying there I just started to cringe. I thought "what could he have done to deserve that treatment?" I had no idea he was a child. I thought he was a 19 or 20 something. I was freaked out by the fact that if I was filming police doing wrong I would be targeted next. As I said on my Videotape. http://homepage.mac.com/encyte/iMovieTheater14.html I was told by the woman, you can hear on the tape, "they are not going to come after you". Huh I knew better!
You can see the video for yourself unedited at the above link or at www.noreversal.com

So, as I was filming this "terrorist attack" by police, I thought "they are going to arrest me and punish me for doing so". I was right. More on that later. I was shocked by the coward doing this in broad daylight! There were about 20 witnesses on scene and not one of them was asked to testify at jeremy Morse's first mistrial. The DA is in bed with pigs remember?

So after I videotaped the incident I gave the tape to friends cause I knew the cops would confiscate the tape and that would be the end of that. I also separated the camera from myself and changed my clothes. I knew these foreign backpackers only a little but they knew what they had seen on the videotape was wrong. The pigs came into the hotel and asked alot of people "who was the one who videotaped the incident?" Nobody snitched. Even though 90% of them knew I was the one. I grabbed a heineken and went down by the pool where people are still enjoying their fourth of july weekend. I sure as fuck did! After 912, police were regarded as heroes and shit cause a couple of the died at the trade center. So I reminded the entire world how fucked up our police Still are. haha.

I went to NBC 4 and showed them the tape. They were not interested. Because I had seen police brutality all the time in LA, I thought the media was not going to take on the situation. I went back to the hotel. Later that next day, I had an appointment to see a potential loft in downtown LA. I went to that and on the way back, I went to UPN and thought they would like a copy for the news. I was happy if they showed it. When they offered 150 dollars I was excited. The News director told me to keep the rights and sell it to as many news outlets as possible. Thats when the inglewood PD was informed. I sold this tape for 150 dollars to several local news outlets. Which is a rip-off considering that the guy who videotaped the rodney king video made 50,000 dollars initially. So to those who say I did it for money, "FUCK YOU" I did it cause it should be done. The world wind of media kept calling from all over the world and wanted the permission to show this video.

IF YOU WANNA BLAME SOMEBODY, BLAME THE "RIGHT WING" MEDIA. NOT ME. lol.

So as soon as the police did a search on me and my name they found a misdemeanor warrant for petty theft and Dui. What you do not know, is that the patriot act has been used so many times against people it was not designed to do. For instance, I was arrested in front of CNN for misdemeanor crimes out of placer county. I was staying in a hotel (leparc in west hollywood) when a DA (steve cooley) from LA tried to illegally supeona me on a radio show. He wanted the video. When I refused to give up my location to him he enacted the patriot act. Actually to be even more honest, FBI or "whoever" were parked outside my hotel room w/ headphones on, listening to me and a friend inside the hotel the night before. When I refused to accept this Illegal supeona to testify before the grand jury, I left the hotel for fear of what I saw the night before. I was appearing on BET w/ Ed Gordon That night (w/congresswoman maxine waters). Twice that night and in the morning, my friend was approached in the hotel, by plain clothes and actual officers demanding him to tell me where I was. How did they know where I was? They had to have illegally tapped the land line inside my hotel during the radio interview. I was not registered at the hotel? I then went to a different friends house in long beach when I noticed cops casing his apartment even before we got there! Tell me how they could know this? Later that night after going to a bar, two undercover cops sat next to me and my friend till we left. They left. I stayed at his house all night long and heard people outside his door all night. Then, the next morning I call my original friend on a cell phone and he is scared to death. I call from CNN inside the building on a land line. He had a cell phone. I told him to bring the tape to CNN and the camera because I was to go onto another BET show taping out of the CNN building.

As soon as he showed up, I mean within seconds, I was standing outside smoking. He dropped off the tape and 7 or so plain clothes officers assaulted me and threw me in a unmarked suv w/ tinted windows. CNN later came out and Showed the world my arrest for misdemeanor crimes that WERE NOT IMPORTANT UNTILL Capturing police doing wrong. At least 5 DOCUMENTED times, I was let go cause the warrant was not that big a deal. Now the whole world knows.

So many of these "PIG LOVERS & RACIST TERRORISTS" have pointed out that I stole VCRS from my mom and had a DUI. Why is that important? Because the LADA used this to arrest me. I refused to testify to the grand jury w/o a lawyer. These warrants were not a big deal until I came forward with the tape. That is FACT. I was stopped in sacramento (one county over from Placer county) Albakurkee NM and in New york and by LAPD in fall 2003 for jaywalking by ofc. v.perez. I was let go after being booked at the culver city police department. I have proof. He should be in jail according to DA steve cooleys explanation to the LA city council that it is illegal to let someone go with knowledge of a warrant. I was refused entry to canada because of the warrant and was let go? If this warrant for misdemeanor crimes was so awful then, why didn't they arrest me then? Cause I did not film police brutality till I returned to my home LA. The charges were so PETTY that my mother was upset about the focus being turned onto me and not the pig jeremy morse. I had pawned a VCR that was in my room at my moms house in 1999. The cops had found the pawn slips in my car and trumped the charges in order to secure giving me more time in placer county jail. See I was the victim of a police attack in placer county CA as a youth (16 too?) and they hated me for it. Since I was not at fault (and the officer) they had a deep-seeded hatred towards me. If I had a competent public pretender at the time I would have beat all the charges. I was duly convicted and plead guilty at the first court hearing. (never do that) My lawyers wanted to appeal the original plea to try it again cause the charges were so weak but that would take 6 months or more. I was sentenced to six months in jail for a 0.08% dui and a petty theft w/ prior.

Even tho the LA county jail had a program were they were kicking out inmates w/ misdemeanor crimes, a private jet flew me to placer county jail the day after the LADA and sheriff assaulted me for videotaping their own "terrorists". I was beaten severely by LADA's and handcuffed for 24 hours str8. That is illegal. That is fact. I was refused a visit from my lawyers and kept in a cell handcuffed to the outside of the cell all night. I was hospitalized for my injuries by the LADA.

I had to serve my six month sentence anyways. I was let go on Jan. 4 2003. I have no charges and no probation/fines/classes so that is good. It worked I am no criminal. I had been turning my life around since 1999. I appeared on the TV show 7th heaven 3 times and turned it around. (check out the episode when the oldest son left the show after getting hitched to a Jew.) Even though, the judge couzins wanted to give me 2 years for bringing attention to the most racist jail in amerikka. Placer county is so corrupt. http://homepage.mac.com/encyte/iMovieTheater15.html They have a 92 % white population and have the largest republican county in Califas. They were so pissed off to see the public focusing in me. Congresswoman maxine waters along with democrat candidate al sharpton called them and threatened them that if anything was to happen to me, they would be in serious trouble. So they put me on 23 hour lock-down for 6 months. They said they needed to protect me from White power inmates? These same white power inmates I got along with and were happy to see the pigs in trouble and sweat-in.

So jeremy morse was put on trial at the end of july 2003 (a year after) and was found basically guilty 7 to 5. The jury was not even given a good case but LADA's max huntsman and mikey petterson blew the case on purpose to satisfy the public. The trial was held in a courthouse nowhere near the crime scene in inglewood. The DA called all the defenses witnesses (the cops) and not a single other witness involved. they used the tape but did not supply the jury with ALL THE FACTS. The other officer Bijan darvish who beat donovan jackson was let off because the current footage does not show him beating him. He was charged with filing a false police report. That child abuser jeremy morse goes back on trial in january 2004. The trial was to start oct 22 but was moved yet again.

The media was hoping for a riot and thats the only reason why they even bought my tape in the first place. They were hoping for the bigger picture. They were disappointed that inglewood did not respond by burning their own businesses and homes. This is what the citizens for police (jeremy morse pig lovers) says is the reason for the retrial. "To award a community for not burning their homes down is crazy" is what they and jeremy morse attorney john barnett (defended the rodney king pigs) is saying? That is sooooo ignorant! Barnett argued that the one black man on the original jury resembled donovan too much to be included. What a racist! He thinks all blacks look alike? What a nazi! To think that a retrial is only important because of not burning a house down is so 20 century. You nazi fucks need to come to the realization that jeremy morse crossed the supposed line. He beat a handcuffed 16 year old defenseless child! He was not a danger to these pigs he was a 100 pound child. Jeremy morse is about 220#. WTF? You harping on me and my situation is so funny to me. I am going places and doing whatever the fuck I want. Don't be jealous cause in inglewood you will not get 5 white jurors who will refuse to convict jeremy morse cause of 912. Fuck You. You nazi racist people are so fuckin hilarious to defend such a coward! What's next Ok' in a priest to fuck little children? You fuckin nazi's are powerless http://homepage.mac.com/encyte/Personal22.html you have NO control. Jeremy morse is the one on trial not me.

The LADA might be overmatched (on purpose) by barnett but. not Johnny cochran and milton grimes. Oh yeah jeremy can't afford barnett for that. His mother lori pettit of torrance had to sell her home in Seattle just to pay for her nazi sons mistakes. Boo fuckin hoo. Jeremy morse will be broke and will have to hide in his home forever. I on the other hand have a lawsuit against the LADA and the media that will set me up for life. I have no worries. I am not a criminal. I have turned the corner and jeremy morse is just beginning to have his life turned around.

So to all those who support police no matter what (including the 5 old white jurors) who think that a cop can do no wrong, I say FUCK YOU. You mean shit to me.

You ain't seen nothing yet pigs.

Sincerely,

Mitchell Crooks

PS. Your assumption that donovan was a violent subject is based merely on your hatred towards blacks and young america. You do not know donovan jackson and you do not know what happened before I arrived (yet). You are truly ignorant and hate-mongers. People like you make me so happy I Came forward. The world laughs at you. I really could care less about you or your chickenshit army occupying OUR streets.

OCT 22 2003 MARCH AGAINST POLICE TERROR
http://homepage.mac.com/encyte/Personal22.html

Karma anyone? Oh how I love to report this! Jeremy morse a drunk driver? Oh my god! What excuses will the cop lovers have now? Especially since I was bashed so hard for driving drunk?

Jeremy Morse was arrested and taken to jail after HE was caught by el segundo police driving under the influence of drugs or alchohol. This happened over the thanksgiving holiday. What is it with this guy and american holidays? What a patriot. Tom Payne he is not. I am more like payne! I shot the video!

Morse was responsible for the inglewood beating of a handcuffed black child seen all over the world on fourth of july weekend 2002.

Morse is facing retrial jan, 5, 2004. He is to appear on the Dui charge Jan, 20, 2004. He was tried once july, 31, 2003 for the abuse of donovan jackson but the case ended 7 guilty 5 not. This was a result of A very poor case by LADA steve cooley (who is up for reelection march 2nd 2004), max huntsman and mikey petterson.

I think this will definetly ensure a conviction of jeremy in an inglewood california courthouse. He must be in the area of inglewood if he is getting drunk in el segundo.

"I left my wallet in El Segundo" - tribe called quest

Jeremy morse bail was set at 5,000 thousand dollars. That seems odd? Anyone who has had a DUI knows that bail is normally not that high. And ALOT of people have had a DUI. ALOT.

What is so funny to me is how the jerks on indymedia blasted me so much for being a drunk driver and stealing. Don't you all look like fuckin idiots now! HAHAHAHA

Jeremy must have been broken up about the cincinnati beating on TV so he "HIT The Bottle" instead. Does not look good for poor Ol' jeremy.

You know how he has been "RAILROADED" and all. lol.

How do you defend a drunk driver? don't believe me?
http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/7392516.htm

So how is it that people can say he was justified for beating donovan yet he cannot follow the LAW? He never followed the law! Thats the entire point! He was and is a lawless thug who used his cute little uniform to take his hatred out on young people and blacks. Like so many white officers do. Especially in LA.

SO WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE NOW?

Hurry up with your "spin control" cop lovers. Maybe a few of you will finally agree that jeremy morse is a coward thug. He is a monster. A lawless X cop.

HOW DO YOU DEFEND HIM NOW?

Do you say "It's because of all the media attention he can't handle it?" Thats sounds pretty liberal. That would mean your Hypocrits (which I knew all along) and bleading hearts lefty's. Cool! join us!

WHATS YOUR ARGUEMENT NOW?

"Well Mitchell stole from his mom" Well, so did Morse. His mother lost her entire home to pay for morse's actions. She sold it to pay for his legal defense or professional liar john barnett. Geez did his mom have to pawn her wedding ring? Or maybe she sold her taurus to bail him out. Time to plea bargain morse. LOL.

MITCHELL IS STILL A CRIMINAL

Thats why I have not been arrested before morse huh? Thats why I learned my lesson in the spotlight. Morse did not. Thats why I have turned my life around since. (I still drink but, don't drive. Have plenty of friends for that) Thats why Jeremy Morse is on Trial for 2 crimes now. Yet I am free. But yeah I am still a criminal. whatever? Bush Had a DUI and stole the white house. Maybe i will run for Prez?

JEREMY MORSE IS NOT GUILTY

Yeah it is pretty hard to beat a DUI case. Jeremy refused to take a breathalizer test and that leads to suspicion of Drug use. The results have not been released to the media yet. Jeremy Morse was captured by myself on video violating the rights of a child. He "slammed" donovan on a car then punched him in the face. Hard to argue that. Thats why barnett will argue about every black guy on the jury resembles donovan jackson. again.

JEREMY SHOULD'VE KILLED DONOVAN

Just like cincinnati? That guy should not have lunged at the cop but he DID NOT DESERVE TO BE BEATEN TO DEATH! You expected that. Some of you prolly been waiting for my post on that. Here we go again! Cops Need to follow the law and back off people a little. We have a terrorist issue to pay attention too. Protect the people at all costs. That is your job. Murdering people is not. We have TEXAS and BUSCH for that.

HOW WILL YOU EXPLAIN THIS NOW?

Point is I could really give a flying fuck about the fucked up comments from hypocritical jerks on here. You people inspire me in the best possible way. As long as I know ignorant hatefilled people are in the world, I will Fight the good fight! I will not read your excuses or hate. You have nothing. You are forgeting allready that jeremy morse is a drunk driver, drug taking, thug who used his uniform to beat a handcuffed child who did nothing wrong. Where are donovans charges if he was so violent? Jeremy morse is the problem. Video activists are not.

ALSO, TO THOSE INTERESTED I WILL BE ON KPFK TUESDAY @ 5:00 PM with MARK SLATE TO DISCUSS THE RECENT FTAA (miami) ASSAULT AND THE INGLEWOOD CASE. TUNE IN TO KPFK.com or 90.7 on your FM DIAL on the drive home.

OH YEAH MY 15 MINUTES IS UP. LOL

My 15 minutes is not up to you. It is up to me. I decide when I have had enough. I am quite happy chillen on da undaground. I have no regrets. You said that when i was arrested. Then you said it when I was released. Then while the trial is going. Then after the trial. Then yesterday. Then today. You said it before Indymedia put my story on the front page. You must feel really stupid by now. Been to New york. Been all over the west. I like chillen down here where the people really matter. That statement allways cracks me up like I am going to get my feelings hurt cause my 15 minutes a up. Boo fuckin hoo. Its not up to you, It's up to me retard.

One more time hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
