So...how many instances of criminal negligence (at absolute best) are present in this case?However, no one will know if drugs were involved as the blood samples were thrown out.
A kid is killed. Under police custody.
Is literally crushed into the street, under the officers' weight and pressure from knees on his rib cage.
This after they set up a controlled buy on the street - and manhandled the boy as well as assaulting him with pepper spray.
Then "neck restraints" are employed (?) and a foreign object is rammed down the child's throat.
And the toxicology reports go "missing"?
Well, this is either the most incompetent police force and state bureaucracy imaginable, or a bunch of corrupt, torturing, lying killers.
My money is on the latter.
The rapid increase in military tactics by police forces in the developed western world is disturbing.
And it is on full show here, from the "ambush" and the "capture", the "search" or "torture" ('oops, we killed him') to the destruction and suppression of evidence, denial of responsibility, collaboration between LEOs and other bureaucratic bodies to avoid scrutiny of police or questions of misconduct, excessively brutal practices in dealing with fellow citizens - this is what a Police State looks like.
This from the lawsuit PDF:
31. Although Minor N.S. has been deceased for almost Nine (9) months, the Coroner has refused to release his autopsy report to [the deceased]’s mother as of the filing of this complaint.
32. At no time has a member of Defendant City’s Department of Internal Affairs attempted to contact Minor N.S.’s mother or other family members as part of their, or any, investigation into the death of Minor N.S.. Upon information and belief, Internal Affairs has not completed any Internal Affairs Investigation regarding the death of Minor N.S.
COUNT I - EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE
33. The Plaintiff incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 32 of the Complaint
as if fully set out herein.
34. Defendant Officers, exercising their position of authority and acting under the color of state law in their capacity as public officials and representatives of the City of Huntsville and Huntsville Police Department, unlawfully subjected Minor N.S. to excessive and unnecessary force by officers when,
1) encountering no resistance from Minor N.S., they forcefully threw Minor N.S. face down on the ground, handcuffed him and pepper sprayed him in the face;
2) as Minor N.S. was motionless on the ground, Defendant Officer got on top of him, shoved his knees into Minor N.S.’s back, further hindering his ability to breathe;
3) as Defendant Officers, without proper training or experience, probed Minor N.S.’s throat with a sharp instrument as he was choking; and
4) as Defendant Officers broke his ribs, while he was in handcuffs.
I only bothered to look at the PDF because the article failed to even mention where this took place (Alabama, if you're wondering)
Poor kid. Fucked society.
