Five Cops Held Down Tyjuan Hill, a Sixth Shot Him in the Back of the Head

[bearkat42]

The NYPD is getting sued to explain why over 1,000 pounds worth of police couldn’t stop a young black man from allegedly pulling a gun, leading an officer to open fire.

“And we are supposed to believe, and the city thinks a jury will believe, that somehow this 140-pound guy raises 1200 pounds of policemen, with a dozen trained hands trying to cuff him, and manages to raise himself up to his knees, reach into his waistband, pull out a .9mm Kel Tech pistol, and somehow point it over his left shoulder ay Sgt. Quigley?”


On Sept. 20, 2012, five New York Police Department officers pinned Tyjuan Hill to the ground and a sixth shot him in the back of the head.

Years before the Black Lives Matter movement focused national attention on the questionable killings of black men by police, Hill’s death barely registered beyond Brooklyn where he died.

That won’t be the case on Sept. 12 when a federal trial begins for a civil rights lawsuit brought against the NYPD by Hill’s mother, Carol, in a Manhattan federal courthouse.

Representing Hill are attorneys Philip Smallman and Michael Colihan, who walked The Daily Beast through the last moments of her son’s on the corner of Henry and Huntington Streets in Red Hook, Brooklyn, on a July afternoon.

According to Smallman and Colihan, the city’s Law Department headed by Zachary Carter seems unwilling to negotiate a settlement, and appears ready to go to trial where the lawyers say some very unsettling and disturbing facts and eye witness testimony will become public.

Getting money from New York taxpayers is not the same as holding the individual officers accountable for their actions.

But take what you can get.

Fucking New York cops are the worst. They act like thugs, then hide behind 9/11 anytime they get called on it.

I thought they always settled?

Maybe the city thinks it has a good case here.

If you are a felon in possession of a gun and resist arrest and appear to be reaching for that gun you are probably gonna die....

Those thugs were attempting to arrest a felon. The man died resisting arrest, his actions killed him.

i might add they were discovered to be using secret radio channels, by a amatur ham radio operator recently as well.

“No one is more pro-law enforcement than me,” said Pizzi, from his Florida home where he has just finished writing an autobiography of his law enforcement exploits. “I led hundreds of raids into the Red Hook projects—where Tyjuan Hill lived—to arrest truly dangerous and violent fugitives. As a boss, I had to review some hairy marshal shooting incidents over the years. But I have never, ever in all my 30 years in law enforcement, seen a case like the Tyjuan Hill case. Nothing the police have said on the record or in depositions squares with the facts, with eyewitness accounts, with videos we have obtained, and with the wild contradictions amongst the police themselves.”

A professional witness?

Is this like Michael Brown? HANDS UP DONT SHOOT!!! Oh wait, it was a lie...

I feel like this is Dejavu. Why dont we wait for the facts to come out? Eyewitness testimony is unreliable.

So they interviewed a guy that just finished writing a book and he wants to say some sensational shit? Say it isnt so!!! He could learn a lot from Ann Coulter.

Yeah, because they're lying to cover up the fact they murdered a man in cold blood.

Until they're held fully and individually accountable, no one will trust them. This situation is intolerable in a free society and corrosive to its continued existence.

They were attempting to arrest an armed felon resisting arrest. You might have missed that part....

“That’s why as a defense attorney I am always hesitant to use flaking as a defense,” he said. “Like most jurors I like cops. I support our cops. My son-in-law was just sworn in as a cop. But in this case, I would say there is better than a 50 percent chance that that gun was planted. And if Hill did have a gun it would have been impossible for him to try to use it lying face down with six cops on top of him.”

Of course there is no chance that a convicted felon would have a gun and would resist arrest. That is just crazy talk!!

OK

'Accountability' is the answer to the question posed in the picture.

If it were applied evenly, I believe this problem would sort itself out rather quickly.

A lack of accountability at all levels of government is exactly what's wrong with our country, and restoration of same is what's required to fix it.

And therefore it's ok to shoot him in the back of the head? Without trial? With six cops holding him down?

I can't understand what you're trying to say with that cop dick in your mouth.

 

[bearkat42]

With six cops holding him down?

A 140 pound man.

Lovely. Another STASI right in our midst.

Aww poor black people, so how about the white people killed much more often than black people?

Also he did have a gun and I imagine resisting arrest if 5 cops were on him. Not like me laying in the snow with my hands behind my head and 2 cops one of which pressed his gun pretty hard on the back of my head and threatened me.... I mean it only happens to black people.

 

[bluntmassa1]

Do you have any proof no black cop has killed a white man? I have seen black cops kill black men before I'm sure their are a few you are just too racist to understand.

YOU are calling him racist? You're drowning in denial.
