Police Union: Houston Man Suspected of Robbing ATM Rapped About Robbing ATMs
A Houston rapper who reportedly raps about stealing from ATMs in one of his songs was one of four people arrested for allegedly robbing an ATM technician.
In a press release, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department announced that Ladesion Riley, 30, Darius Dugas, 27, Sashondre Dugas, 32, and Christopher Alton, 27, were arrested on June 6 for allegedly carrying “out a plot to rob an ATM technician as he serviced a Bank of America machine” in Nashville. The Houston Police Officers’ Union said in a tweet that Riley is a rapper who rapped about robbing ATMs.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) said at about 10:40 a.m., two members of the group came up behind the technician in the 600 block of Thompson Lane and directed “him to not do anything stupid and hand over the money.”
The crew fled the scene, and police determined that a Hyundai Elantra used as a getaway car in the heist was a rental from Hertz, according to the release.
“Using information provided from Hertz, detectives, with the assistance of aviation units, discovered the Hyundai and a maroon Jeep that accompanied it parked at the Motel 6 in Dickson,” the MNPD noted. “Detectives watched as what appeared to be cash was loaded into the Jeep.”
Riley and both Dugases allegedly entered the Jeep while Alton hopped in the Hyundai, and as the cars started pulling away from the motel, the Dickson Police Department pounced with the aid of the MNPD and federal Bureau of Investigation. The four were apprehended “without incident” after they pulled over and authorities recovered the money.
The four are facing federal charges, and the FBI has launched an investigation into whether the four committed similar robberies in other locales, the MNPD said.
In a social media post, the Houston Police Officers Union noted that Riley is a rapper who goes by “213 Jugg God” and has a song called “Make it Home,” which the Union said is about robbing out-of-state ATM machines.
“IRONY: When you make a rap song called ‘Make It Home’, about bank jugging and hitting atm’s out of state, and then don’t make it home…” the union stated in a tweet, accompanied by three laughing emojis.
“Ladesion ‘Jugg god’ Riley jinxed the whole gang,” the tweet continued, adding that “We’re going to miss these four so much.”
“Out of state, dodging jakes, running with the Florida plates. I done hit the road and got that money in about 40 states,” the song begins.
The union further stated that Riley was out on bond at the time of the incident “for a pending Evading Arrest in a Motor Vehicle charge.” A picture showing a lengthy rap sheet accompanied the tweet.
They also noted that Darius Dugas was free on bond on a charge of a felon in possession of a firearm.
On Thursday, the Austin Police Department in Texas sent out a press release explaining that “jugging” refers to when a suspect follows a victim from a bank or ATM to a secondary location and demands the victim’s money.
Raphael Warnock Blames Brother’s Drug Conviction on Systemic Racism. Court Records Tell a Different Story.

When he talks about racism in the U.S. justice system, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.) often cites the case of his older brother—a "first-time," "nonviolent" drug offender who was sentenced to life in prison due to a "pandemic of racism," according to the senator.
Warnock has compared his half-brother, whose full name is Keith Coleman, to black victims of police shootings, attributed his imprisonment to the "stigma of color and criminality," and praised his early release in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic as a day of "hope" for the justice system.
But hundreds of pages of court records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon tell a more complicated story: Coleman was a cop with the Savannah Police Department when he was convicted of facilitating a cross-country cocaine trafficking operation in 1996 and 1997—and once warned that he could send a drug dealer’s "black ass" to prison if the dealer didn’t pay Coleman more money.
The details conflict with Warnock’s accounts, which omit that Coleman was a police officer and portray him as a victim of law enforcement corruption rather than a participant in it.
"[My brother] was a first-time offender, convicted of a nonviolent drug-related offense, in which no one got hurt, no one died, no one even got high because the federal government basically created the sting operation," said Warnock in a June 2020 speech to the American Jewish Archives.
After the death of Rayshard Brooks, a 27-year-old black man who was fatally shot by an Atlanta police officer while resisting arrest in 2020, Warnock said, "It has become too common to counsel families grieving from unjust loss, like that of Rayshard Brooks, or to grieve from separation."
"I have known this pain personally, and my family has experienced it over the last 22 years of my brother’s incarceration," Warnock said.
The records also highlight the tension between the senator’s public statements railing against police misconduct and his personal efforts to support a family member convicted of police misconduct.
Warnock has denounced "lawless vigilantes pretending to be police," and opined during a sermon that "you can sometimes wear the colors of the state and behave like a thug." Yet he has also lobbied for years to free his brother and privately sought a presidential pardon from former president Barack Obama.
In November 1995, the FBI launched an undercover sting campaign called "Operation Broken Oath" to investigate whistleblower tips about dirty cops within the Savannah Police Department, according to a pretrial investigative report by the bureau. The probe ensnared nearly a dozen police officers who agreed to provide paid security for undercover FBI agents and informants posing as cocaine traffickers.
One of these officers was Coleman, who quickly became a ringleader in the illegal scheme, using his police-issued handgun and car to escort the purported drug dealers as they drove kilos of cocaine to airports, hotels, and warehouses, according to prosecutors.
Coleman reportedly recruited four fellow cops to provide security, boasting to them the operation was bringing in cocaine by the "goddamn truckloads."
"I know my guys," Coleman told one undercover agent, referring to the officers he recruited. "They loyal to me and they gonna do whatever I tell them."
Coleman negotiated and distributed the illegal payoffs for the security services, often pocketing portions of the money that was intended to go to the other cops, according to prosecutors.
Coleman "continued to push for more work and more money." He demanded higher payments after an undercover agent posing as a drug dealer offered him $1,500 for one cocaine-trafficking job.
"If I knowed I was fucking with a motherfucker off the corner who can't afford [to pay me] no more than $1,500, his black ass would be in prison," said Coleman, according to an audio recording cited in the court records.
Coleman later demanded that the purported drug traffickers place the payments in envelopes instead of handing him stacks of cash, arguing that this was a better way to avoid detection.
"No counting by the car," he told them. "[Some witness] might want to mail some shit to 60 Minutes. … ‘I saw police taking some money by a car. Why would he be doing that?’"
Prosecutors allege Coleman received $46,000 in dirty payments and helped traffic a total of 28.2 kilograms of cocaine between November 1996 and March 1997.
On Nov. 21, 1997, Coleman was convicted by a jury of conspiring and attempting to aid and abet the distribution of cocaine, and with carrying a firearm during a drug trafficking offense. He was sentenced to life in prison, and two of his co-conspirators were sentenced to 17 years and 19 years, respectively.
Court records cited Coleman’s possession of a weapon, his abuse of power as a police officer, and his recruitment of other cops as justification for a longer sentence.
Coleman fought and appealed the conviction on numerous grounds over the years. He claimed in court filings that he was "incarcerated for an offense/act that the law does not make criminal," arguing that "conspiracy to attempt" is not a recognized crime. He said the FBI selectively targeted him because of his race while ignoring corruption among white police officers. He criticized his lawyer as providing ineffective counsel. And he argued that the federal government had no jurisdiction in the case "because he was not arrested in any fort, magazine, arsenal, needful building,' or other federal enclave," according to one motion to dismiss. None of the appeals were successful.
Outside, Warnock also intervened to help his brother. He wrote to then-president Obama, asking him to pardon Coleman. In that letter, which was included in the case file, Warnock noted that Coleman was a police officer, a detail he has not mentioned in public forums.
"As his brother and as pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, I stand ready to directly provide and coordinate, through my network of contacts, the resources and support he will need to turn a second chance into real success," wrote Warnock in the letter to Obama, which was included in Coleman’s court filings. While that appeal was unsuccessful, Coleman was released in June 2020, after serving 22 years, due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19 in prisons.
The Warnock campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Republicans: To Win the Midterms, Hit Black Lives Matter
Most of us already know how we are going to vote in November. "Use Your Head and Vote Red" is a good answer to the other side's "Vote Blue, No Matter Who." We know in advance how the elections are going to turn out in hardcore Republican and Democratic states and enclaves. We do not expect California or New York to elect Republicans, nor are Wyoming and Idaho likely to elect Democrats. All the other races will, however, be decided by the swing voters who hold the balance of power, and it is to them we must appeal.
Sun Tzu noted in his Art of War that one should attack what the enemy cannot defend and defend what the enemy cannot attack. This is why we must direct our complete attention to BLM and its ties with the Democrat party.
BLM's Fall from Grace
The murder of George Floyd propelled Black Lives Matter into the forefront of American politics, where people perceived it as a champion of civil rights and police reform. Its subsequent behavior demonstrated instead that it is little if at all better than the evils against which it claimed to fight. All of these should become Republican talking points this summer and, more importantly, in September and October prior to the midterm elections.
BLM has provoked and incited the very kinds of incidents that have resulted in the justifiable homicides of Black people along with two of Kyle Rittenhouse's Caucasian assailants.
When BLM libelously accuses a police officer of "murdering," for example, Hakim Littleton, who is on bodycam video pointing a gun at the head of another officer, it is telling people it is OK to point guns at police officers. Then they wonder why Black people and "allies" who act on this guidance get shot.
When BLM protests the shooting of Ricardo Munoz, who is on bodycam video advancing on a police officer while brandishing a knife, it is telling its listeners that it is OK to menace police with knives. The same goes for calling it murder when a cop shot Ma'Khia Bryant, who was on bodycam video with an upraised knife over another Black person.
When BLM libelously accuses Kyle Rittenhouse of "murdering" two of his assailants, they are telling people it is OK to commit strong-arm robbery involving a firearm, as Rittenhouse's first assailant did, and to run after somebody while yelling violent threats and brandishing weapons.
When a (Caucasian) BLM activist records a video that shows how to break into occupied cars, cut seat belts, and "remove" drivers, she is telling them how to get shot legally, run over legally, and/or sent to prison for up to a life sentence in places like Florida that seem (not legal advice) to call this "burglary-battery."
Black Lives Matter has also endorsed looting, a property-only crime that does not justify deployment of deadly force. If, however, the looting involves a physical confrontation with, for example, a store owner, it can easily escalate to robbery (forcible taking), which does justify deadly force. It can also leave the looter with the kind of felony record that BLM complains ruins Black lives. Teen Vogue reports that one looter is facing three to seven years in prison for stealing some dish soap even though the dish soap was doubtlessly worth far less than the $500 cap for misdemeanor petty theft. The individual in question was, however, charged with burglary and looting, which escalates the action to a felony. The article adds that 160 people are facing felony charges for similar behavior, and BLM as represented by one of its leaders said it was OK to do this.
Black Lives Matter, as represented by Patrisse Cullors, has denied the right of Israel to exist. Cullors said to "step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that's called Israel." Neither the Anti-Defamation League nor the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance define mere disagreement with the policies of Israel as anti-Semitic, but both classify denial of Israel's right to exist as such.
The Democrat party, as of June 11, 2022, still links to BLM Organizing Resources as well as Al Sharpton's National Action Network, the arguably racist and anti-Semitic hate group that chanted racist slogans like "white interloper" outside Freddy's Fashion Mart in 1995. A deranged individual later acted on this hate speech by setting the store on fire and killing seven people, including a Black security guard, whom the NAN depicted as a "cracker-lover."
The Democrat party page links to BLM petitions, and this is but one click away from a page that says, among other things, "Support Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) Movement" and links in turn to the BDS movement itself. I am sure that, if the RNC website linked, even via two clicks, to a white supremacist website, the Democrats would be all over it, and rightly so, but the Democrats have no problem linking to the Hamas-American Bund.
Black Lives Matter was exposed as long ago as 2020 for using 501(c)(3) tax-exempt resources to campaign against Donald Trump. The organization no longer claims to be able to accept tax-deductible contributions, nor does the contribution link to ActBlue Charities appear on its website. If the IRS acted against BLM's 501(c)(3) status, it has certainly not confided in me, nor should it do so, but there is plenty of precedent. First, political activity is a top priority for investigation by the IRS's Exempt Organization Division, as shown by the fast-track Political Activity Compliance Initiative (PACI). Second, the IRS has revoked numerous tax exemptions, generally from churches that have tried to influence elections. The Church at Pierce Creek, for example, lost its tax exemption for publishing an ad that said Christians should not vote for Bill Clinton. The material BLM published on its website was equally explicit against Donald Trump.
Allegations of election fraud in 2020 carry less and less weight with swing voters, who hold the balance of power to decide the 2022 elections. Evidence of BLM's efforts, while accepting tax-deductible contributions, to influence the 2020 presidential election, including, among other things, an explicit interview in which Patrisse Cullors said the goal was to get Trump out of office, plus a website that equated Trump with a Nazi with a neck tattoo, is, on the other hand incontrovertible. The swing voters can see for themselves how BLM abused their trust and the trust of the American people in general.
All of these are strong arguments to "use your head and vote red" this November.
Civis Americanus is the pen name of a contributor who remembers the lessons of history and wants to ensure that our country never needs to learn those lessons again the hard way. The author is remaining anonymous due to the likely prospect of being subjected to "cancel culture" for exposing the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.
BLACKS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD!
On May 25, 2020, a Black man who’d ingested huge quantities of illegal drugs died while a White cop restrained him as an angry crowd threatened.Democrats seized this incident as an opportunity to reclaim the White House and dominate government by racially dividing the nation.
Let me be blunt. Throwing more money at Blacks will make virtue-signaling White leftists feel a little more virtuous. It will not help those Blacks who are sinking into a morass of poverty, crime, abuse, and despair. The only thing that will change is when they stop looking for reparations (even arguably deserved ones) and start repairing their broken communities. ANDREA WIDBURG
Brooks terrorized the 89% White population in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Still, he wasn’t charged with a hate crime or domestic terrorism, the media downplayed the racial aspects of his crime, and this horrific tragedy had a news life that rivaled reports that Brooks complained of racism in prison, or the April 12 shooting of ten people on a New York City subway by Black nationalist/supremacist Frank James, and the suggestion that murdering innocent White parade goers was justified because they were White supremacists, like all the people of Whiteland.
The City of Oakland, California, declared racism to be a “public health crisis” in a unanimous vote of the city council on Tuesday, allocating $350,000 to hire a consultant and data analyst in the Department of Race and Equity.

Just over an hour later, at 12:20 a.m. Saturday, a 37-year-old woman was shot and killed while riding in a vehicle “in the first block of South Albany Avenue.”
The third shooting fatality was discovered at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday when police found a deceased 34-year-old man in a vehicle “in the 2800 block of South Indiana Avenue.”
A Saturday afternoon drive-by shooting left four injured, one critically, FOX News reported. The shooting victims, ages 24 to 42, were in an alley when someone opened fire on them.
