Parents say police pulled guns on them after 4-year-old daughter took a doll from a store in Phoenix

(CNN)A Phoenix couple is seeking $10 million from the city after a video showed police officers drawing a gun on them after their 4-year-old daughter allegedly stole a doll from a Family Dollar store.
Dravon Ames and fiancee Iesha Harper told CNN they didn't notice when their daughter walked out with a Barbie from the store last month. They've filed a notice of claim against the city for $10 million, which serves as a precursor to a lawsuit.
Soon after they left the store, Ames said the couple pulled into an apartment complex to drop their daughter off at a babysitter. Then an officer began banging against their window, yelling and threatening to kill them.
"Our hands are up, we're just trying not to get shot, trying to stay calm," Ames said. "He had a gun drawn."
Ames said there were no sirens or lights to indicate that they were being pulled over beforehand and the officer who was pointing a gun at them did not immediately identify himself as an officer.
The incident took place on May 29, the family said. Police said they were made aware of video on June 11.
In the 12-minute blurred-out video posted on the department's Facebook page, one officer can be seen handcuffing Ames, first on the ground and then against a police car. The officer kicks Ames and can be heard yelling multiple times, "When I tell you to do something, you f****** do it."


Twitter link to cellphone video of the encounter which is much better quality than the CNN "official" video. (NSFW language and may be stress-inducing.)

Think they need to face modern reality.
It is not clear who recorded the video or what transpired beforehand. There is no body cam footage of the incident, Phoenix Police Department Sgt. Tommy Thompson told CNN.
Thompson also told the affiliate there was more to it than the claim of the stolen doll, but would not expound on it. The affiliate reported that police said there were other stolen items in the vehicle besides the doll.
Yet we get this:
The couple says they were both released shortly after the arrest and were not charged.
Well, it is America, so what more can one expect.
In a video posted to the department's Facebook page Friday, Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said she was "disturbed by the language and the actions of our officer."
I think she'll find out that not just herself is disturbed.
Incident May 27th, video provided June 11th...
...hmm...

The case with ASAP Rocky currently in jail in Sweden in connection with an incident he says was brought on by harassment from two "drug addicts,"
Hmm. Apparently the US doesn't like the Swedish law system!
Despite it works the same but perhaps with some slightly different procedures.
https://www.complex.com/music/2019/07/asap-rocky-new-york-congressman-adriano-espaillat-interview
The former US ambassador to Sweden, Mark Brzezinski, says he is appalled at the handling of the rap star, suspects racist motives and that he has contacted the Swedish ambassador in the US, the royal house and Sweden's Foreign Minister Margot Wallström (S) on the issue.
Since I know who Mark Brzezinski is. Didn't you learn anything about the Swedish society when you where here?
And contacting the Royal House? How silly is that?
Now Foreign Minister Margot Wallström is responding that the government does not control legal processes in Sweden, and that she has full confidence in the Swedish judicial system's handling of the case.
Heck. Even ASAP Rocky himself has denied that he said anything about his "horrible" prison stay at Kronobergshäktet to the TMZ website.
In the same time on the week's menu at Kronobergshäktet there is Wallenbergare (veal burgers with mashed potatoes and pees) , caviar cod and rhubarb pie with custard.
Same food as the officers eat with some excellent tap water:)
I have been drinking that tap water as well since I have lived only two blocks away:)
If the 30-year-old, who is actually called Rakim Mayers, is completely acquitted, it is possible that it may be worth the caviar cod.

Typical cop, typical cop reaction.

Swedish law enforcement seems to differ to US.

Two young “refugees” from Afghanistan follow Rakim Mayers and his entourage for about an half hour and harassing Rakim Mayers’ bodyguard. Hitting him with a head phone.
The bodyguard had everything under control until Rakim lost his mind and all hell broke loose.
Rakim's mother suspect racist motifs that Rakim is now on trial which is nonsense.
If it would be racist motifs it would be the two from Afghanistan on trial now.
Rakim Mayers claims self defence. My a*s!

I don't always agree with Trevor Noah, but this funny and intelligent guy seems right when he says forcing an innocently bumbling and rumbling american brawler rapper to assemble Ikea kits for 3 weeks in a swedish prison appears to indeed be cruel and unusual punishment.

A sad state of affairs for modern police & law enforcement.

"Nick" police broke the law
Lord Bramall has said that what was done to him was more painful than any experience he had ever undergone serving Queen and country. This from a very brave man who won the Military Cross.
The terrifying lesson I draw is that if the police can treat such eminent people as Lord Bramall, Leon Brittan, Harvey Proctor and the rest of them in such a brutal way, then none of us is safe.
What more can one expect when a copper, bent as a ten bob note gets promoted to a top job with a salary of £175,000 per annum.

Can't afford a lawyer? Then try De-bug
A group that has garnered interest by other nations including the UK.

Nice to see some coppers using not only their brains but common sense.

Police shootings are a leading cause of death for young American men, new research shows
The phrase “leading causes of death” might bring to mind cancer, heart disease, suicide and drug overdose. But new research published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that young American men are at a surprisingly high risk of being killed by a police officer.
Among men of all races, ages 25 to 29, police killings are the sixth-leading cause of death, according to a study led by Frank Edwards of Rutgers University, with a total annual mortality risk of 1.8 deaths per 100,000 people. Accidental death, a category that includes automotive accidents and drug overdoses, was the biggest cause at 76.6 deaths per 100,000, and followed by suicide (26.7), other homicides (22.0), heart disease (7.0), and cancer (6.3).

Pittsburgh police officer charged with DUI hit-and-run while off duty

A Pittsburgh police officer is accused of driving under the influence, hitting a bicyclist on the North Shore and failing to stop while off duty.
...
Police then recovered video evidence that showed Martin drinking at Tequila Cowboy on the North Shore, drinking a total of two shots and eight Miller Lite beers. His truck's GPS also indicated it was at the scene of the crash.
...
Martin is charged with causing an accident involving death or personal injury, DUI and reckless driving. Martin has been placed on unpaid administrative leave.

Officials confirmed Martin had previously been put on desk duty after a Facebook comment he made last year appeared to celebrate the death of up-and-coming rapper Jimmy Wopo in June 2018.

Been debating with myself for the past 30 minutes - Here or the Trump thread. After watching the video again & re-reading the report, I decided here because of the DNA evidence being ignored & they still got convicted.

Raymond Santana talking on Radip 1 while in the UK
When asked about Trump's 4 full page adverts in 1989, Raymond said he was the "fire starter" & 30 years on, he's still the same, nothings changed.

Central Park 5
Meanwhile, Donald Trump - then a New York property mogul - seemed convinced the teens were guilty.
He spent a reported $85,000 (around £138,000 today) on four full-page adverts in New York newspapers titled: "Bring Back The Death Penalty, Bring Back Our Police!".
He wrote: "I want to hate these murderers and I always will. I am not looking to psychoanalyse or understand them, I am looking to punish them."
In an interview with CNN at the time, he said: "Maybe hate is what we need if we're gonna get something done."
More recently.
Salaam said: "I look at Donald Trump, and I understand him as a representation of a symptom of America.
"We were convicted because of the colour of our skin. People thought the worst of us.
"And this is all because of prominent New Yorkers - especially Donald Trump."

On the presidential campaign trail in 2016, Mr Trump was asked by CNN about the ads he took out about the Central Park Five.
"They admitted they were guilty. The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty," he said.
"The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous."
Didn't anyone point out to him that the DNA evidence showed otherwise?
What a sad indictment of America.
