YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS!

36 year-old Dante Parker, a father of 5, was killed on August 12, 2014, in Bucknell Court in Victorville in San Bernadino, just 2 miles from his house, when a deputy sheriff confronted about a call by someone in the neighborhood on suspicion of robbery. A Orville resident told police that a robbery suspect had fled on a bicycle. The police detained Dante Parker reported the Daily Press newspaper, apparently because they found him nearby on a bike. After he was approached by a female deputy sheriff, Parker was tased several times and was reportedly sweating profusely and having trouble breathing before he died on the scene. A Taser is a lethal weapon. This would not be the first time that a person has been reported killed by a Taser. Just as Eric Garner was given the death penalty by New York police on suspicion of selling “loose cigarettes” on the streets, and therefore not paying taxes, Dante Parker was also killed on a vague suspicion of “someone trying” to break into a home, according a call by a homeowner who could have very well been afraid of seeing Parker near her own or walking by her home, as Mr. Parker was of a heavy set and dark skin. 

Kajieme Powell killed by St. Louis police on August 19, 2014. In a store surveillance video Kajieme Powell, 25, can be seen calmly walking into a store, pick up a drink and then begin to walk out without paying. Before he reached the exit, he turned around and grabbed a pastry, and again headed for the door calmly. In the meantime, both the store owner and an alderwoman had called police. When the young man got outside, a second video that surface about 2 weeks following the killing, shows Powell putting both items on the sidewalk and started pacing back and forth. Yet he remained calm. Within 1 or 2 minutes, a police cruiser arrived. The policemen can be seen addressing Powell from the inside their cruiser, and at a distance of 2 to 3 feet, Powell could be seen talking to them and making mild gestures with both his arms. From the video, nothing could be seen in Powell’s hands. But within 23 seconds police arriving, they two policemen at the scene shot 9 bullets into Powell who drop dead on the sidewalk. Police later told the public in a press conference that Powell was holding a knife, even though there is no evidence that he was. There also has been talk of the young man being mentally disturbed, which has not been supported with any facts. One thing was clear. Kajieme Powell, on that particular day, was disturbed about something, perhaps the killing of Michael Brown, which took place only 2 miles away in Ferguson just 10 days earlier. And this incident took place in the middle of heated and emotional demonstrations during which Ferguson police deployed armored vehicles mounted with sniper rifles and machine guns aimed directly at demonstrators. This is also a time when Ferguson police engaged in the arrest of journalists and the use of flares, grenades, and a massive amount of tear gas in residential neighborhoods, and when people standing in their backyards were told by police to get lost or being arrested. 

Eric Garner: Staten Island - July 17, 2014: A police choke-hold, as well as chest compression, were the causes of death of Eric Garner, the city medical examiner's office says.
