A shocking video shows the moment two Los Angeles Police Department officers apparently grabbed a female motorist and bodyslammed her twice to the ground in a parking lot.

Michelle Jordan, a 34-year-old mother and registered nurse, sustained horrific bruising and cuts in the attack, which took place after she was pulled over for talking on her mobile phone.

The brutal arrest was captured by a surveillance camera after the officers followed her car into a Del Taco restaurant parking lot in the Tujunga area on August 11.

Attack: Michelle Jordan, 34, shows off her injuries after she was allegedly repeatedly thrown to the floor by LAPD officers after she was pulled over for talking on her mobile phone while driving

Officials told the Los Angeles Times that Jordan had ignored the officers' orders to stay in her car and began arguing with them.

On the video, obtained by NBC4, she is seen getting out of the car before she is knocked to the ground by one of the officers.

'A short time later while still handcuffed another encounter occurred between Jordan and the officers and she was taken to the ground a second time,' a statement released by LAPD admitted.

After getting up and moving towards the patrol car, an officer picks her up and then bodyslams her to the ground. As she sits in the car, the two officers appear to fist bump in celebration.

'Force': Jordan is cuffed, left, by the police car and she is then thrown to the ground by one officer, right


'Satisfied': The two officers then fist bump in an apparently congratulatory sign

Eyewitness Raymond Branch, who was outside the Del Taco, was shocked by the confrontation.

'The first part, I believe they had a right to arrest her for resisting, but the second part was overboard,' Branch said.

Jordan and her lawyers admit that she was arguing and accepted her arrest. But they maintain she was treated with unnecessary force and have filed a personal complaint against the officers.

'She made some unwise moves,' her attorney Sy Nazif told ABC7. 'But certainly nothing that warranted a physical assault from the LAPD.

'If anyone on the street attacked an innocent woman, they would be in jail. We expect the LAPD officers to be held to the same standard.'


Bruised: Jordan suffered cuts and bruises to the top of her body and face as she was thrown to the ground


Sore: Her chest also sustained scratches. Jordan has now filed a personal complaint against the officers

The LAPD has launched an investigation. Both officers - one with 22 years of service, the other a probationary officer with 10 months experience - have been placed

'My initial review of the officers' statements and the recorded video cause me to have serious concerns about this Use of Force,' LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said in a statement.

'We will investigate this thoroughly and hold our officers accountable for their actions.'

Jordan was arrested on suspicion of interfering/resisting arrest and later released.

It is the latest incident involving apparently rough arrests by LAPD officers.


Witness: Raymond Branch said, although the woman should have been arrested, they went 'overboard'

Earlier this month, 20-year-old skateboarder Ronald Weekley Jr. was tackled and pinned to the ground outside his Venice home, in an arrest that was caught on a mobile phone. An internal investigation has been launched into the arrest.

On Monday, Deutsche Bank executive Brian Mulligan filed a $50 million lawsuit against the department, claiming two officers held him captive and beat him on May 15.

JERRY BROWN DECLARES MEXICAN CRIMINALS IN CA ABOVE THE LAW! I VIVA LA RAZA? LA RAZA ELECTED THIS DEM!



California Sheriffs Oppose Bill on Illegal Immigrants

August 29, 2012 1:01 pm

By BROOKS BARNES / The New York Times

LOS ANGELES -- Some California sheriffs are pushing back against a proposed state law that would bar law enforcement officers from detaining illegal immigrants for deportation if they have not been charged with serious or violent crimes.

The bill, which the Legislature sent on Friday to Gov. Jerry Brown, would create what opponents have called a "sanctuary" for illegal immigrants statewide. It sets up a new fight over immigration enforcement that comes as Republicans vow at their national convention in Florida to impose sanctions on states, cities and counties that adopt similar measures.

Known as the Trust Act, the bill would require police officers to ignore requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain immigrants for deportation, except when suspects are charged with serious or violent crimes. Mr. Brown has not indicated where he stands on the proposed law; he must sign or veto it by Sept. 30.

But some local authorities, including Sheriff Lee Baca of Los Angeles County, say that they will continue to enforce federal policy regardless of what Mr. Brown does. "It's pretty simple: Federal law pre-empts state law," said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for Sheriff Baca.

Law enforcement officials in San Diego and Riverside Counties have also expressed dismay with the Trust Act. Sheriff Robert T. Doyle of Marin County said his "gut reaction would be to ignore it," adding, "If someone comes to the county jail and he is not here lawfully, I think he should be turned over" to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"We are forcefully pushing for a veto," said Nick Warner, legislative director for the California State Sheriffs' Association. "The sheriffs of this state are actively, unalterably and vehemently opposed."

Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, a Democrat from San Francisco who sponsored the Trust Act, said "some of the more reasonable sheriffs" are in favor of the law. "There is always going to be that alpha-male posturing," he said of Sheriff Baca and other opponents. "The governor has been quiet, but we've been working with his staff to address concerns, and we know that he knows doing the right thing here has political cachet," Mr. Ammiano added.

A spokeswoman for Mr. Brown had no comment.

The Trust Act has been endorsed by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, the police chiefs of cities like Oakland and San Francisco, immigrant-rights groups and California's Roman Catholic bishops, among others.

The clash over the Trust Act involves a federal program called Secure Communities, under which local authorities share fingerprints with federal immigration officials of everyone booked. Federal agents run that information through immigration databases and, if a suspect appears to be in the country illegally, they can ask police to detain the person for deportation.

The Obama administration has expanded the Secure Communities program rapidly across the country, saying that it helps federal agents identify illegal immigrants arrested by local authorities who have criminal histories. Under a policy started in June 2011, administration officials have sought to focus their enforcement efforts on deporting criminal convicts, while steering away from illegal immigrants arrested in minor offenses like traffic violations.

But many immigrants' rights and Latino groups say Secure Communities, which aided in the deportation of nearly 400,000 people last year, has not operated as the administration said it would, instead sweeping up and deporting many illegal immigrants arrested for minor violations, separating families.

Dozens of cities and counties -- prominently Cook County in Illinois -- have adopted "sanctuary" ordinances that limit police cooperation. Politicians like Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, who is pushing the adoption of such an ordinance in his city, argue that Secure Communities erodes trust between police and immigrant communities; when every arrest is a potential deportation, immigrants might be afraid to report crimes or cooperate with investigators.

"We are also trying to bring some sanity and clarity to a program that I frankly think has gone rogue," Mr. Ammiano said. "We want police to distinguish between the woman selling tamales and the gang member who has a record."

Mr. Ammiano was referring to Juana Reyes-Hernández, a Sacramento tamale peddler who became a focal point in the Trust Act debate here after she was arrested for trespassing in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Ms. Reyes-Hernández spent 13 days in jail while authorities considered a deportation case. A judge eventually dismissed the misdemeanor charge, and she remains in the United States.

The implementation of Secure Communities -- which, opponents to the Trust Act note, Mr. Brown supported as state attorney general -- has become a hotter political issue as the presidential election approaches. Republicans meeting in Florida adopted a party platform that states, "In order to restore the rule of law, federal funding should be denied to sanctuary cities that violate federal law and endanger their own citizens."

Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are pressing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to force Cook County to comply with Secure Communities, including by freezing some federal funding for jails -- something that California sheriffs worry awaits them if the Trust Act is enacted and they follow it.

THE CA STATE LEGISLATURE IS NOW CONTROLLED BY LA RAZA! DEMS BUST THEIR FAT CORRUPT ASSES TO ACCOMMODATE ANYTHING THAT BENEFITS LA RAZA MEXICAN ILLEGALS!

 

California Sheriffs Protest Anti-Secure Communities Bill


 

By Jon Feere, August 28, 2012


The California legislature has passed a bill designed to shield illegal aliens from law enforcement and it currently sits on Gov. Jerry Brown's desk. The "Trust Act" (AB 1081) would prohibit local law enforcement from complying with federal detention requests except when an illegal alien has been convicted of, or charged with, a "serious" or "violent" felony. The crimes that would be a prerequisite for sending aliens to ICE custody include murder, rape, assault with intent to commit a rape or robbery, kidnapping, carjacking, and a number of other crimes. Many crimes like ID theft or ID fraud get a pass. Consequently, a number of sheriffs are worried that the plan would harm public safety; one sheriff has called on the governor to veto the bill, while another is contemplating defying the act if it becomes law.

Specifically, the Trust Act reads:

(a) A law enforcement official has the discretion to detain an individual on the basis of an immigration hold after that individual becomes eligible for release from criminal custody, if both of the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) The individual has been convicted of a serious or violent felony according to a criminal background check or documentation provided to the law enforcement official by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement or is currently in custody for a charge of a serious or violent felony by a district attorney.

(2) The continued detention of the individual on the basis of the immigration hold would not violate any federal, state, or local law, or any local policy.

(b) If either of the conditions set forth in subdivision (a) is not satisfied, an individual shall not be detained on the basis of an immigration hold after that individual becomes eligible for release from criminal custody.

The apparent goal of the assembly is to limit state-federal cooperation on immigration and marginalize the successful program known as Secure Communities. The program has taken tens of thousands of illegal aliens off the streets. Not surprisingly a new government report finds that when aliens caught under Secure Communities are released back out onto the streets, public safety suffers: Between October 2008 and July 2011 aliens released because of the Obama administration's prioritization scheme went on to commit 58,000 new crimes. California's Trust Act would likely have the same consequences.

In response, Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff wrote the following to Gov. Brown:

In the decade after 9/11, and in response to shortfalls in our national Homeland Security, we have honed close partnerships between federal, state, and local enforcement that this [bill] now directly undermines. In addition, law enforcement agencies have executed legal agreements that are directly impacted by this bill, and we potentially place at risk of cancelation or repayment, millions of dollars in federal grant funds of all types where we certify compliance with federal laws. Or worse, we face years of protracted legal disputes, which will waste scarce county funds that are already very constrained. For these reasons, I oppose Assembly Bill 1081 and respectfully request that you veto this measure.

Meanwhile, the office of Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca has promised it will respect detention requests from federal officials regardless of any impositions created by the Trust Act should it become law. According to Baca's spokesman:

Our stance is that federal law trumps state law. If it were to move forward, we'd adhere to federal law, so we'd still honor ICE holds.

Similarly, Sonoma County Sheriff Steve Freitas noted:

It would make me break either federal or state law. I would have to pick which one to break.

San Diego County Sheriff William Gore is reportedly ready to join the other sheriffs in ignoring the Trust Act if necessary.

Marin County Sheriff Robert T. Doyle tells the New York Times that his "gut reaction would be to ignore it," adding, "If someone comes to the county jail and he is not here lawfully, I think he should be turned over" to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Times also reports that Nick Warner, legislative director for the California State Sheriffs’ Association, says his organization is "forcefully pushing for a veto," noting that "The sheriffs of this state are actively, unalterably and vehemently opposed."

The bill's lead author, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), argues that "California cannot afford to be another Arizona." He claims that the bill "limits unjust and onerous detentions for deportation in local jails of community members who do not pose a threat to public safety." Apparently, the assemblyman believes that millions of instances of ID theft pose no threat to public safety. He also seems to think that the enforcement of immigration laws is only justified in the instance of criminality; he fails to understand that immigration law serves the purpose of protecting national sovereignty and the value of citizenship. A number of other goals — like prevention of illegal hiring practices or reducing strain on social and natural resources — are not on the assemblyman's radar.

This is a great bill for foreigners in the United States illegally who wish to continue engaging in ID theft and a whole host of other crimes. It is a horrible bill for the legal residents of California who want the rule of law to actually mean something. If California's legal residents cannot rely on law enforcement or their state representatives to protect them from lawlessness, does the state's Article 1, Section 1 constitutional declaration of the right of "safety, happiness, and privacy" really exist? And what of the following passage from Article 1, Section 28:

California's victims of crime are largely dependent upon the proper functioning of government, upon the criminal justice system and upon the expeditious enforcement of the rights of victims of crime described herein, in order to protect the public safety and to secure justice when the public safety has been compromised by criminal activity.

To the extent that the Trust Act would protect aliens engaged in so-called "non-violent" crimes — which undoubtedly nonetheless compromise public safety — it would appear that the bill cannot be upheld under the state's own constitution.

The crimes that would be a prerequisite for sending aliens to ICE custody include murder, rape, assault with intent to commit a rape or robbery, kidnapping, carjacking, and a number of other crimes. Many crimes like ID theft or ID fraud get a pass. Consequently, a number of sheriffs are worried that the plan would harm public safety; one sheriff has called on the governor to veto the bill, while another is contemplating defying the act if it becomes law.

Specifically, the Trust Act reads:

(a) A law enforcement official has the discretion to detain an individual on the basis of an immigration hold after that individual becomes eligible for release from criminal custody, if both of the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) The individual has been convicted of a serious or violent felony according to a criminal background check or documentation provided to the law enforcement official by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement or is currently in custody for a charge of a serious or violent felony by a district attorney.

(2) The continued detention of the individual on the basis of the immigration hold would not violate any federal, state, or local law, or any local policy.

(b) If either of the conditions set forth in subdivision (a) is not satisfied, an individual shall not be detained on the basis of an immigration hold after that individual becomes eligible for release from criminal custody.

The apparent goal of the assembly is to limit state-federal cooperation on immigration and marginalize the successful program known as Secure Communities. The program has taken tens of thousands of illegal aliens off the streets. Not surprisingly a new government report finds that when aliens caught under Secure Communities are released back out onto the streets, public safety suffers: Between October 2008 and July 2011 aliens released because of the Obama administration's prioritization scheme went on to commit 58,000 new crimes. California's Trust Act would likely have the same consequences.

In response, Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff wrote the following to Gov. Brown:

In the decade after 9/11, and in response to shortfalls in our national Homeland Security, we have honed close partnerships between federal, state, and local enforcement that this [bill] now directly undermines. In addition, law enforcement agencies have executed legal agreements that are directly impacted by this bill, and we potentially place at risk of cancelation or repayment, millions of dollars in federal grant funds of all types where we certify compliance with federal laws. Or worse, we face years of protracted legal disputes, which will waste scarce county funds that are already very constrained. For these reasons, I oppose Assembly Bill 1081 and respectfully request that you veto this measure.

Meanwhile, the office of Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca has promised it will respect detention requests from federal officials regardless of any impositions created by the Trust Act should it become law. According to Baca's spokesman:

Our stance is that federal law trumps state law. If it were to move forward, we'd adhere to federal law, so we'd still honor ICE holds.

Similarly, Sonoma County Sheriff Steve Freitas noted:

It would make me break either federal or state law. I would have to pick which one to break.

San Diego County Sheriff William Gore is reportedly ready to join the other sheriffs in ignoring the Trust Act if necessary.

Marin County Sheriff Robert T. Doyle tells the New York Times that his "gut reaction would be to ignore it," adding, "If someone comes to the county jail and he is not here lawfully, I think he should be turned over" to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Times also reports that Nick Warner, legislative director for the California State Sheriffs’ Association, says his organization is "forcefully pushing for a veto," noting that "The sheriffs of this state are actively, unalterably and vehemently opposed."

The bill's lead author, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), argues that "California cannot afford to be another Arizona." He claims that the bill "limits unjust and onerous detentions for deportation in local jails of community members who do not pose a threat to public safety." Apparently, the assemblyman believes that millions of instances of ID theft pose no threat to public safety. He also seems to think that the enforcement of immigration laws is only justified in the instance of criminality; he fails to understand that immigration law serves the purpose of protecting national sovereignty and the value of citizenship. A number of other goals — like prevention of illegal hiring practices or reducing strain on social and natural resources — are not on the assemblyman's radar.

This is a great bill for foreigners in the United States illegally who wish to continue engaging in ID theft and a whole host of other crimes. It is a horrible bill for the legal residents of California who want the rule of law to actually mean something. If California's legal residents cannot rely on law enforcement or their state representatives to protect them from lawlessness, does the state's Article 1, Section 1 constitutional declaration of the right of "safety, happiness, and privacy" really exist? And what of the following passage from Article 1, Section 28:

California's victims of crime are largely dependent upon the proper functioning of government, upon the criminal justice system and upon the expeditious enforcement of the rights of victims of crime described herein, in order to protect the public safety and to secure justice when the public safety has been compromised by criminal activity.

To the extent that the Trust Act would protect aliens engaged in so-called "non-violent" crimes — which undoubtedly nonetheless compromise public safety — it would appear that the bill cannot be upheld under the state's own constitution.
