Hung jury on police beating of Donovan Jackson?

“It seemed to be a clear-cut case of police brutality. Officer Jeremy Morse was videotaped slamming young Donovan Jackson’s head onto the trunk of a police car and punching him in the face,” exclaimed Congresswoman Maxine Waters when she learned that Morse’s trial had ended in a hung jury, split 7-5 in favor of conviction. Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley said he would seek a new trial. Who is also up for a re-election bid march 4 2004 in the CA primary elections.

This is a list of the people running against him.

“It is impossible for me to understand why the videotape was not accepted as fact by the jury. This verdict appears to once again show preference to law enforcement officers who misuse their authority and betray the citizens they are sworn to protect and to serve,” said Congresswoman Waters.

The jury included only one Black, a young man ordered back onto the panel by the judge after lawyers for the police officers had rejected all the other Blacks in the jury pool. The case had been transferred from a courthouse in Inglewood, where the crime occurred, to an isolated courthouse near LA airport.

“Jeremy Morse is a coward,” declared Mitchell Crooks, the young man who videotaped the beating, shared the tape with the media and then was summarily whisked off to jail for a previous offense. “Only a coward would punch a child in handcuffs!”

It was Mitchell Crooks’ videotape, seen by millions around the world, that convicted Morse in the court of public opinion. Najee Ali of Project Islamic Hope told the press as a tense crowd awaited the jury verdict, “If Mitchell had uncovered a terrorist plot, he would be a hero. He was put in jail because he uncovered police brutality and racial profiling.”

Though Crooks saw the entire incident and videotaped most of it, he was not called as a witness at Morse’s trial. “They did not ask me to testify. They did not ask any of the 20 people on my video to testify. They did not ask any of the people Morse and Darvish beat up before Donovan Jackson to testify,” said Crooks.

One victim of Morse and his partner, Bijan Darvish, had been beaten into a coma and was still in the hospital when the officers brutalized Donovan Jackson. “They almost beat me to death,” said that victim, Neilson Williams. Nothing about the brutal history of Morse or Darvish was presented to the jury.

Most of the key witnesses were law enforcement officers. One civilian witness testified in favor of the cops - a white tourist from New Zealand who was flown halfway around the world and put up at an airport hotel in exchange for his testimony.

Young Donovan Jackson testified that he had not felt the blows from Officer Morse. Jackson said he was “not awake” at the time. When he regained consciousness, Morse threatened to break his nose. “Did he say anything else?” asked the prosecutor. Donovan told the jury, “He said it’s his world.”

“It is little wonder why so many young people have so little trust in officers of the law,” observed Congresswoman Waters. “It is little wonder these young people live in fear they can and will be brutalized by police officers who need not be concerned about being held accountable for their actions.”

Donovan Jackson and his father, Coby Chavis, have state and federal civil rights lawsuits pending against the officers, the city and Los Angeles County. “We are hopeful that this next time around, justice will be served and we in the meantime will proceed vigorously with the civil lawsuit,” said Jackson’s attorney, Camryn Stewart.

When you get the white man over here in America and he says he's white he means he's boss. -Malcolm X



White Abolitionism as a Strategy for Revolution

When Donovan Jackson, a Black youth, was brutally beaten by a
white police officer in Inglewood, California last summer, the
incident was caught on videotape by Mitchell Crooks, who is
white. A revealing twist to this incident lies in the fact that the
first two people arrested in connection with this incident were
Jackson, the Black victim, and Crooks, the white man whose
videotape exposed the police brutality. In this moment we see
enforcement of the color line by the state twice: first in the all too
common form of police abuse in the Black community and secondly
in the form of the harsh retribution against the person who exposed
one instance of that abuse. Crookss act was an instance of
race treasonwhen a white person violated an unspoken rule of
whiteness by actively opposing the states attempt to enforce
the color line, a transgression of the norms of whiteness that the
state took so seriously that Crooks was promptly incarcerated.
Why are such acts of race treason so threatening? Because the
enforcement of the color line is predicated on the belief that the
state can determine who is a friend and who is an enemy by the
color of their skin. By attacking the institutions of white supremacy
and flagrantly violating the norms of whiteness, the state would no
longer be able use white skin as reliable determiner of who is a
friend and who is a foe to the existing society, undermining the
separate deal that the white working class struck with capital.

Some insightful words from Mr. Crooks:

"You are truly a dipshit motherfucker. You think I made money off that tape? Well I guess you will be really dissapointed to know I am a dj and support myself by selling x to your mindless kids you dipshit cockmaster. You cop lovin peice of shit assholes are full of stupid lame excuses. I hope one day a relative or your kids gets shot and killed by a police officer and THEN you might wake up and quit living in that DREAM World you have created in your mind. I make a living just the way I want you prick and to tell you the truth fuckface, It's all for social justice and I am having a fuckin blast. You are the minority. Just cause you troll indymedia and post your
fucked up right wing nonsense, does not make you some kind of expert on how people should be you miserable fuckin retard. You are pissed because your
"control" is no more. You ain't done shit for nobody and you are jealous. People are waking up to the police violence committed by pigs in uniform you miserable fuckin loser. Your losing the battle on all fronts dickwad.
You will not like the america to come cause your old and fuckin dying. WE are young and in OUR lifetime cops will answer to the people and do what we tell them. I am glad I did my part you fuckin sleaze.
Sincerely mitchell crooks

Mitchell Crooks knew he had a five year old warrent out for his arrest. If it really was all for social justice why didn't he just anonymously turn over the tape to the media? He was trying to broker a deal with the Los Angeles DA to take care of his "little problem." Then make a buck.

Mitchell Crooks is a self-serving zealot.

Crook's unclean past doesn't change the fact that the cops beat the hell out of an innocent kid. To say it does is simply deflecting the blame, and saying the whistle being blown is tarnished.

Cops cut deals all the time, with petty criminals, to get to the "big criminals." At least they do this on TV. Maybe Crooks thought there was some hope, and maybe a little money in the tape. None of us is pure. (BTW, the cops involved were Inglewood, not LAPD, and I think his warrant was with the Sherrifs. Three different jurisdictions. Your accusation has no merit, sucka.)

"Mad Props" to the white kids and the race traitors.

Mking is from indymedia in cleveland
When I flew to cleveland to support cincinnati
This psycho started following my
posts around and determined
to silence me with his psy ops
bullshit. Your not welcome here
Mking_usa@yahoo.com
The same thing he puts his name
on apears here but not there?
Cleveland indymedia supports this guy
they have censored my responses.

So now we know who cleveland IMC supports?
Propolice psychopaths who threaten me.
LAindymedia is not the same as yours, various white male
Suckered you now.
I mean mking_usa@yahoo.com

Check this out:


Mking brought this on himself,
with his "Ilove police brutality"
and hate niggers speech.
I came here (clevelandIMC) to spread awareness
over the case before a court now.
At some point, several emails from
mking_usa@yahoo.com
came threatening me to
"Shut up or die" and that
"if I am to continue to speak out
against police I will suffer
unimaginably at the hands of crist". ect. ect. ect.

I came to Clevland/cincinnati
to work with the community there
about what to do in cases of
police brutality. Spoke to the people
involved and posted my case on indymedia.
This Mking starts to go all over the net
and post lies and hate nonsense
on all my articles all over the web.
Several emails from Mking were
"PINGed" back to the same IP number.???????
As my debate with this nuckleheaded,
loser, chickenhawk, racist began,
He continued sponging off my celebrity?
a mysterious letter shows up at my
lawyers offices (the only ones with
contact addresses available on the net,
since I blocked the ip from Mkings
dial up modem) with powder in it.
A threat? A coincidence?
I have gone to other articles on the
net about these vicious rumors and hate
MKing has spread. When told of the
address by investigators that the
envelope comes from central ohio
I told them of this guy who has an
infatuation towards me and expressed
his hatred for the community work I did
over the recent beating in cincinnati
and in inglewood.

I then find that this fuckin psycho
motherfucker has broke into my server
and email accounts. All coming from
the same IP. The last threatening
email I got at another email account
matched servers and IP# back to the
same as the Yahoo email miking uses.
Keep tabs on him la imc.

This man has serious issues.
I think he is the type to go bomb
churches and synagoges mosques and abortion clinics.
Some of the hate he spreads is ridiculous.

Over a videotaping of a 16 year old
handicapped black innocent child.??????

I would think the guy would be happy
enough that I went to jail over the issue
but apparently NOT! Then he has
dedicated his time and resources
towards defaming, threatening and
sponging off me and the fame
I have created in my personel
and social causes. Tell you the
truth I don't read anything he says
cause I know its a lie.
Just like his leader hitler,
I mean dubya. (lol)

MOVEON.org

WE are taking this issue very
seriously and I have had my friends
come to cleveland IMC to post up
about the donovan jackson beating
and others just to show that intimidation
and lies and defamation of a character
is not going to win. mr mking is a
psychopathic nutcase.
I am going to defend what I have done.
Like I should.

What he does not realize,
is he is only helping my case
by pointing out how much he
hates blacks and liberal activists
that he would threaten violence
and take it upon himself to comb
the net sponging off my good deed.
Shit HE is doing the work for me.
A smart opposition to myself or
position would to be ignore it
or, don't read my posts or respond and feed in
but, this hate filled "skitzo psychopath"
cop loving dipshit can't see that.
Shit even the people on la imc figured that out.
They don't read my posts anymore.

I figure between lookin at Nekkid pics
of transexuals on the net he finds an
article I have written and posts his
disgust for how I have made money off the tape.
Thats what the news does dipshit.
They buy news. I invested the money right back into
the cause but he fails to understand that.

Hey man the people I am trying
to reach see "RIGHT" thru that
mentality and bullshit. Eventually bush
will end up in prison for LYING about
sending the troops to fight a bogus war
killing innocents. He is allready caught.
He is lying his way out of it now. like mking_usa@yahoo.com

I agree the issue is about justice
for donovan jackson and should
be that but this dipshit cant and
won't let it go. He is that stupid
that he can't even realize that?
This guy had to have been so
angry about my posts on
"his supposed website" .
Yeah IMC was created for
nazi right wing liar trolls
trying their PSY-OPS techniques
on the opposition. Whatever man?
Why don't you go away MKing.

You will never silence the voice of the voiceless.

I think he is the sole opposition in this case.
Would'nt it be funny if he was morse?
Keep diggin the hole. Your not welcome here.

And I think indymedia needs to do something about
people like mking.

FACE IT. NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY.

This guy reeks of insanity and jealousy.

I want justice for donovan jackson.

Oh back on topic,

150 jurors were sent home cause
activists outside the courtroom
"tainted" the jurors. Defense argued.
John barnett also argued that no blacks
should be on the jury. (morses attorney)
The new pool of jurors will begin soon.
So thats how it works? Have a backbone
cooley fuck! How many more delays?
We have videotape of a crime!
This whole thing stinks.
I am not getting my hopes up.
