Pueblo West, Colorado — A mother has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in U.S. Federal Court for the District of Colorado, after her son was shot and killed by Pueblo County deputies outside a middle school. On February 22, 2022 at approximately 3:23 pm, Pueblo County Sheriff's Deputies Charles McWhorter and Cassandra Gonzales were dispatched to the Liberty Point International Middle School at 484 S. Maher Dr., Pueblo West, Colorado, on reports of a suspicious male party trying to open car doors. They were informed the male party may be "on something", suggesting possible intoxication. The initial reporting party, Eric Valencia, told dispatch that a male had become "aggressive" with one car and he was trying to get into other cars in the parking lot. Initially, Valencia stated that the male was out of his line of sight on the east side of the parking lot. The male then came back into Valencia's sight and Valencia said the male was wearing a jacket with gray sleeves and black in color.
Valencia then tells dispatch that the male was being confronted by someone from the school, then he began walking west. Valencia then sees the male get into the back seat of a white four-door SUV, possibly a Mazda with tinted windows and approximately eight to nine cars in from the road. When Deputy McWhorter arrives on scene, dispatch gives him the description and location of the vehicle as described by Valencia. Deputy McWhorter asks dispatch for more specific information, as there were several white cars in the parking lot. Deputy McWhorter is then told that it is the white car that two children are walking in front of. This information assisted Deputy McWhorter in locating the vehicle. Deputy McWhorter advises dispatch that the male is in the back seat of a white Lexus SUV with Colorado Plate CIW976. Deputy McWhorter then contacts the male later identified as 32-year-old Richard Ward.
Ward was with his mother, Kristy Ward Stamp, and her boyfriend to pick up his younger brother from Liberty Point International Middle School, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for Colorado. Pueblo County sheriff's deputies approached Ward after they received a report that he had been opening doors of nearby vehicles in the pickup waiting area, officials have said. Ward stepped out of his mother's SUV for a "brief walk," mistook another white SUV for hers and got in the wrong vehicle, the lawsuit says. He apologized to the woman who was driving after he realized his mistake and returned to his mother's vehicle, the suit says. Pueblo deputy Charles McWhorter arrived on scene and talked to Ward in the backseat of his mother's SUV. In the body cam video, McWhorter touches Ward's arm and asks him why he's acting strange. Ward responds that cops make him "nervous" and he "has anxiety".
Ward explains to the officers that he has had bad encounters with police in Pueblo before. McWhorter then asks for Ward's ID and as he reaches for his identification, Ward slips something in his mouth. His family attorneys said Ward had been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and was prescribed medicine for it. In the body cam video, McWhorter then demands to know what it is and drags Ward to the floor. They tussle on the ground for around 20 seconds. During this time, deputies said to stop resisting multiple times. McWhorter then shot Ward 3-times in the chest. Ward was unarmed. The deputies closed the car door and stood with Ward's body for nearly three minutes until medical assistance arrived. He died on scene. The sheriff's deputies involved in the case were cleared of any criminal charges by the district attorney, following an investigation that found the shooting justified.

Body camera footage released by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, shows the moments two officers engaged in an intense shootout with an armed man wearing body armor.
On January 8th, 2022, at approximately 1 a.m., law enforcement officers observed a vehicle making an illegal U-turn at a red-light intersection. As shown in the body camera footage, the driver of the vehicle complied with all commands directed to him; however, he was placed into the rear seat of a police cruiser because he could not present a valid identification.
While law enforcement officers continued investigating the remaining personnel within the vehicle, the front passenger was observed wearing body armor, furthermore, raising the officers suspicion. Additionally, officers smelled a strong stench of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Shortly after making contact with the passenger, officers asked the male to exit the vehicle; however, he refused to exit, and officers were forced to remove him.
While pulling the man out, officers observed the magazine of a handgun sticking out from the male subjects pocket. Before he could try to get the weapon, officers attempted to place the man in handcuffs, but were unsuccessful. The man swung at officers, breaking away and began fleeing. As he fled, the male subject drew the firearm and discharged multiple shots in the direction of the officers. In response, two officers discharged nearly two dozen shots, striking the male subject, and neutralizing him.
After the shooting, the male suspect was identified as 27-year-old Teronnie Wade, who at the time of the shooting was a convicted felon out on bond awaiting trial in a 2020 case. Wade was awaiting trial on charges from a traffic stop in 2020 in which he was also a passenger. According to an arrest report, Wade was found in possession of a handgun, 22 bags of cocaine and the synthetic drug Flakka, a street drug similar to bath salts.
Since the incident, Wade was known to be in critical condition, but no additional information has been updated.

FREDERICK — Body-worn camera footage has been released of a deadly police involved shooting in Frederick last month.
The incident occurred overnight on November 29, after Frederick County deputies discovered a mother and father stabbed inside their home on Haller Place. According to police, the father died of his injuries.
A short time later other responding officers found the couple's son, 23-year-old Aaron Mensah, walking nearby on Zoe Lane with a knife.
The nine-minute plus video shows officers pleading with Mensah to drop the weapon. One deputy first tries using a less-lethal beanbag shotgun on the suspect, to no avail. Another is seen deploying a taser, but that's when Mensah appears to move more aggressively towards officers at which time he's fatally wounded.
The Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division has since identified the deputies who fired as Cassy Boettcher, Travis Stely, and Nathan McLeroy.
Neither was wearing a body-worn camera at the time, so the footage released is from the angle of multiple backup officers who were on scene.

In this video we can see the shithole that is Congo, with the police breaking the legs of alleged criminals under a bridge on bright daylight in the capital Brazzaville.
They are breaking the bones with sledgehammers & rocks. Animals acting like animals.
Notice in the comment section how some people say they are doing a great job & are very courageous 
I dont think there was any investigation nor any condamnation. This is street justice by state representatives.

For anything involving police activity. While usually you will see silly criminals trying to get the drop on cops or pulling out knives and promptly losing their lives, This is also the place for when our brave men (and women) in blue fall in the line of duty.
