Former RPD officer commends Cincinnetti police for killing Nathanial Jones

by face in the crowd Saturday, Dec. 06, 2003 at 11:31 PM

The man who once joked about Tyisha Miller's tragic death pens a letter asking that officers be commended for killing Nathanial Jones in Cincinnetti

Dec 4th, 2003



Chief of Police

Colonel Thomas H. Streicher, Jr.

Cincinnati Police Department

310 Ezzard Charles Drive

Cincinnati, OH 45213



Fax 513 352-2949



Re: Use of Force against Nathaniel Jones / Commendations



Dear Colonel Thomas H. Streicher, Jr.,



I am responding to the use of force incident, which was used against Mr. Nathaniel Jones.

My heartfelt sympathy and gratitude goes to yourself, and all the wonderful men and women who work under your sound command.



After reviewing portions of both videotapes, hearing statements and having knowledge of other evidence, I want to give you our appreciation for your fine police agency.



I understand that you are under great pressure to resign, ‘because of your integrity.’ Where is the public’s outcry against Nathaniel Jones for using racial slurs against your officers? Where is the outcry against his illegal and excessive drug use? Being under the influence of Cocaine, Phencyclidine (PCP) and Methanol (an ingredient for an embalming fluid,) better explains the inhuman strengths and dangers those fine officers were faced against.



Nathaniel Jones' family is asking for an “independent investigation.” My investigation concludes that your officers used only a reasonable amount of force necessary to protect themselves and others and to affect an arrest. Had the officers not done what Nathaniel forced them to do, they would have been derelict of their duties.



I offer our commendations to the following:



· I commend you Colonel Thomas H. Streicher, Jr. for your integrity and strong leadership. I commend you for not giving in to the racial propagandists who desire to divide the city even more.



· I commend all officers who were personally involved in the altercation. I commend them for their ‘attention to duty.’ I commend them for their perseverance. I commend them for the protection of their community they so well serve. I commend them for upholding the Constitution of the United States of America.

Please extend this to the officers involved.

One retirement worth paying for

by face in the crowd Saturday, Dec. 06, 2003 at 11:36 PM

Bill Rhetts once again opines on another killing of an African-American by police officers. At least he's not telling jokes to "educate" younger officers in the roll call room.

Or boasting about his deep sea fishing trips with Lawrence Powell, one of the Rodney King assailants that he worked with during his stint in the LAPD

Or working as the partner of David Mack, another LAPD officer involved in the Rampart scandal and doing 14 years prison time for robbing a Bank of America.

We in Riverside are paying for the retirements of most of the officers involved in the Tyisha Miller tragedy. Of all the retirements, this is one I don't mind seeing my tax dollars fund. The man got a psychological stress retirement he obviously richly deserves. It's just too bad he isn't using any of his money to seek professional help.

retiree

by Meyer London Sunday, Dec. 07, 2003 at 1:15 AM

The scary part is that now that he's retired he may be working as a security officer at a school or library.

Do I understand you fellows correctly?

by nonanarchist1129 Sunday, Dec. 07, 2003 at 4:41 PM

Are you condemning the actions of the police officers involved in the death of Nathaniel Jones?

You know, the dangerous, drug-addled man who, despite correct and judicious application of non-lethal force, kept battling the officers trying to apprehend him, and indeed was getting up despite the efforts of three grown men to keep him on the ground?

You morons are so predictable.

A black man was killed while resisting arrest. Had he complied with the officers' orders, he would be alive. Had he not been using dangerous and illegal drugs, he would be alive.

But no, you idiots fault the cops for killing a brother.

Tell me, where does it say that minorities are exempt from their obligation to obey the law?

beaten to death

by Meyer London Monday, Dec. 08, 2003 at 11:35 PM

And where are the white guys being beaten to death by the cops? Maybe once in a great while some so-called trailer trash man has this happen to him, but do you ever hear of a suburban white guy getting clubbed like that? If I remember correctly, both Bush and former LA Mayor Richard Riorden were belligerant with the cops when they were stopped for drunk driving a few decades ago. Do you actually think that there was ever even the slightest chance of these two getting beaten to death, no matter how they behaved? That is racism and classism in action.

For the record

by fresca09 Tuesday, Dec. 09, 2003 at 1:31 AM

For the record Meyer, and I suspect you already know this, the fat dusted crackhead jackass was NOT beaten to death. Read the coroner's report, if you can or care to. The cause of death was homicide but with no implication of overuse of force on the part of the police. He died from exertion as a result of FIGHTING with the police given his many EXTREME health problems. There was no eveidence of blows to the head and NO broken bones etc. His death was not at all related to the cops blows. It was due to his choosing to resist arrest and use his last few gasping breaths smoking dust and crack and methanol and beating police.

Exclusive Commentary by Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

BOND

Feb 12, 2002



For the last twelve years, we at the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny have been fighting against the demoralization of blacks in this country by the likes of Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, the Black Caucus, the liberal elite Democratic Party, and others. But we must realize that this is not the only form of demoralization at work. While demoralizing blacks, these racist demagogues have also succeeded in demoralizing whites.

One word—“racist”—has been elevated to a sacred status, to the point now where even the threat of being labeled “racist” causes whites to cower to the wishes of blacks. The fact is that the civil rights “leaders” and elite liberal Democrats are at fault for the poor condition of the black community, not white racism. But, having largely given in to their lies, the white culture is suffering not only because blacks are free to be immoral without complaint, but also because many whites now lack character as a result of giving in to this fear.

If this lack of character continues to go unchecked, the white culture is doomed to the same pitiful state that we now find in the largely immoral black community. If no one speaks up about this, then all will suffer. Blacks will continue to fall at an even faster rate because whites will be too weak not to give in to reparations for slavery, expansion of affirmative action, and the ongoing bombardment of other governmental programs. For the sake of all cultures, we must begin to bring about a change.

In order to change, we must first realize how we came to the problem we find ourselves in today. The civil rights “leaders” of today and the elite liberal Democratic Party all understand one thing very well: the power of fear. For the last forty years, these demagogues have implanted fear in the white community—fear of being branded “racist.” As this fear escalated in the beginning of this movement, whites of the time became afraid and refused to speak against the civil rights movement as it veered from it’s original just intent to a self-serving and racist agenda shortly after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This fear spread, allowing the legitimate black leadership to lose control, which caused the black community to become increasingly immoral. And most whites have kept silent. And thus blind blacks, following blind leaders, suffered.

Now enter today. The black community is worse off than they have ever been in the history of the United States. Ninety-two percent of blacks supported Bill Clinton, knowing he committed adultery, lied to the American people, and lied under oath. Seventy percent of black babies are born out of wedlock! There was a time when blacks would have been ashamed of these numbers. But now they don’t care. As long as the welfare check is there, the “diversity” programs are in play, and no one is speaking against them, all is well. And let me tell you, very few are speaking against them.

The sins of the parents are passed down through the generations, and as a result of whites of the past not standing up, that same weakness and lack of character has been passed to whites of the new generation. The idea of being called “racist” is as horrific as ever, and whites of the new generation have been demoralized by their parent’s lack of character and the out-of-control modern civil rights movement.

Now we have this whole nonsense of “multiculturalism” at work on college campuses. “Celebrate diversity!” is the chant, no matter how many babies these “diverse” individuals have out of wedlock, no matter how immoral they are, no matter what perverse causes they stand for. Now homosexuals are simply another group that needs to be celebrated. Now sexual perversion and amorality of all kinds are labeled “diverse” and equal to all other choices of behavior.

I’m often asked to speak on college campuses where white kids are afraid to stand up to immoral blacks for fear of being labeled a bigot, and are afraid to express their Christianity for fear of being labeled a “homophobe.” As a result of this fear, college graduates go into the world demoralized and disillusioned, depressed and beaten down. Their hearts are filled with fear and helplessness, perpetrated on them by the “celebrate diversity” crowd. And unless this changes, this will pass on to the next generation, and the next…and we will all suffer. These days most whites believe that being labeled a racist is the worst form of suffering. The dark days lurking ahead will make that suffering look like nothing. But it does not—and I repeat, does not!—have to be this way.

We at BOND realize the suffering that our nation is going through is a warfare. What we all have to realize though is that this is a spiritual warfare, not a racial warfare. It is not a fight of blacks versus whites, as the civil rights movement will tell you, but of good versus evil. The evil civil rights movement attacks good Americans who speak out against what they are doing. But the civil rights movement has no real power. All they can do is create fear through name-calling. And, amazingly, most whites have given in to this. They have adopted a false guilt for the ills of the black community.

No, the civil rights “leaders” and elite liberal Democratic Party are truly to blame, holding blacks down by keeping them angry at white America and dependent on the government. God, family, country, morality, and discipline used to be paramount in black culture, which is why blacks such as Booker T. Washington flourished long ago even though laws were against blacks. Now diversity, multiculturalism, and governmental programs are paramount, and look where blacks are because of it. We now have a society where blacks can say and do anything they want about and to whites, but whites can’t even speak up and disagree with blacks.

As soon as we realize that we are fighting a spiritual warfare, we can overcome. At BOND, we have been fighting for years. We recently held our Third Annual “National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson” on Dr. King’s birthday to show the contrast between Dr. King’s dream that blacks be judged on the content of their character and Jackson’s nightmare that blacks be judged on their color. We have a BOND Home for Boys that works to restore self-sufficiency and independence that is lost in today’s anti-family black culture. We have an After School Character Building program to teach kids to love what is right and love this country.

Having stood for what is right has put as at odds with the civil rights establishment and the elite, liberal Democratic Party. We have endured all sorts of name-calling and intimidation tactics. I have personally been called “nigger,” “sellout,” “Uncle Tom,” and many other names. But I understand that I am fighting against evil. These names mean nothing to me. They are the pitiful words of cowards who do not have right on their side. By letting them pass, I am able to continue standing up for what is right: the emancipation of black America and the disbandment of the current black leadership.

It is now time for white America to realize that they are part of this same battle. The words “racist,” “bigot,” and “hatemonger,” coming from embittered followers of demagogues, mean nothing. The real strength is in those who give these words no mind and continue to stand against racism and for what is right. Enduring these attacks is a part of a blessed life. Christ said that whenever you stand up for right you will go through such attacks. If Christ had to endure, why shouldn’t we? After all, in enduring as Christ did, we come closer to God.

If Americans of all races can lay aside their fear to stand up for truth, we will all be blessed. If they do not lay aside this fear, then destruction will be widespread.

Blacks who kill white Cops (stats)

by Lurker in your crowd Monday, Jan. 12, 2004 at 2:48 PM

I found this on another web site................

Here is a list of the last 14 Riverside (CA) police officers and City officials, whom have been shot and/or killed while on duty.

The facts will reveal that it is not a "White on Black" issue in Riverside. It is quite clear from the number of Black suspects, when compared to their percentage of local population, where danger to officers has and may reasonably be expected to come from.

04-72 Officer Paul Teel was shot and killed by at least three Black Males near Ottawa/Prince Albert

04-72 Officer Leonard Christiansen was shot and killed by at least three Black Males near Ottawa/Prince Albert

07-74 Officer Larry Walters - the only officer in Riverside shot and killed by a White male. That suspect was later shot and killed by another White Riverside police officer.

11-79 Officer Bill Prettyman, killed by a male Hispanic.

05-82 Detective Phil Trust was shot and killed by Jackson Daniels, a male Black paraplegic, during an arrest warrant service on Wolfe Street.

05-82 Detective Dennis Doty, shot and killed by Jackson Daniels, a male black paraplegic, during an arrest warrant service on Wolfe Street.

12-95 Officer Chuck Sciortino, shot (and nearly killed) by a male Black parolee during a traffic stop at Van Buren and Wood Road.

07-98 Officer Claire Connelly, struck and killed by a female Black drunk driver, during a vehicle impound near Van Buren and Jurupa Avenue.

10-98 Councilwoman Laura Pearson shot at and pistol whipped by a male Black, Joseph Neale, during a closed City Council meeting.

10-98 Councilman Chuck Beaty shot by a male Black, Joseph Neale, during a closed City Council meeting.

10-98 Mayor Ronald Loveridge shot by a male Black, Joseph Neale, during a closed City Council meeting.

10-98 Sergeant Wally Rice, shot by a male Black, Joseph Neale, while attempting to rescue City Council members.

10-98 Officer Scott Borngrebe shot by a male Black, Joseph Neale, while attempting to rescue City Council members.

01-01 Detective Doug Jacobs, shot and killed by a male Black at a loud music call at 3140 Lime Street.

During the Tyisha Miller aftermath, African-American activists were claiming that they had a valid fear of the "white Riverside police officer." The headlines in the January 26, 1999 PRESS-ENTERPRISE read "Fear of Police Deplored!"

Commendations are misquoted

by Lurker in your crowd Monday, Jan. 12, 2004 at 2:54 PM

The commandations by this writer are taken out of context, which is good news for the conservatives. it is more eveidnece how the left side lies.

Read again what the chief and officers are commended for. Not for using force, or killing anyone, or hurting a "black man."

"I commend you Colonel Thomas H. Streicher, Jr. for your integrity and strong leadership. I commend you for not giving in to the racial propagandists who desire to divide the city even more. "I commend all officers who were personally involved in the altercation. I commend them for their ‘attention to duty.’ I commend them for their perseverance. I commend them for the protection of their community they so well serve. I commend them for upholding the Constitution of the United States of America."

The heart of this writer obviousy is tyrying to encourage them becasue of all the biggots against them.
