Tyree Is A Human Being and Did Not Deserve the Beat Down From Officers John J. Ellis, Jeffrey T. Middleton, and Brad Momme Among Others

The Crime Against Human Nature is the ISSUE and CONCERN for those of us residing in African and Latino American Communities.  We are human beings who live productive lives with the best we have. i would love to see what the force continuum is for the Sick'em Team, i mean the Dick'em Team, Ooops the Narcotics team aka part of the Rape of The Black Community IN LIVING COLOR.

Art For Justice

We want the rape of our communities to end and that starts with the removal of Officers who use excessive force and have a record of doing so. Please read, sign and share MoveOn Petition Amending United Nations Treaties To End Drug Prohibition http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/amend-un-treaties-to?source=c.fwd&r_by=741743 if our country wanted to end folks using drugs they would stop promoting drug use on t.v., shopping malls and public transportation.

i pull my hair with the memory of Raid Officers jumping out on our young men slamming them up against the wall and grinding on their ass as they talk shit to them. The Narcotics Policing is dehumanizing because these Officers look at the men and women whom they abuse as bait for their mentality. 

Tyree Carroll getting beat down and family, friends, advocates and concerned citizens speak out 

Sandra Bland didn't understand how she was killed for switching lanes without a signal, No Narcotics Officers here, but now the Walling Police are reporting that Sandra had drugs in her system.

STOP THE MADDNESS

so back to my question of when is force necessary? Tyree Carroll did what the Officers asked him to do and they still used force. we were first told that Tyree was riding his bike down the street in which his family resides, when the officers approached him. These officers have a record of excessive violence, was probably following and taunting Tyree and made Tyree another example of their excuse to beat a black man down. Tyree doesn't get home safe on April 3, 2015 because he is a target for the so called Narcotics Patrol, they zoom through the streets eager to jump out. Tyree is screaming for his Grandmother, doesn't look as if he is resisting arrest until his life flashes before him while in a choke hold. There was no reason for Tyree to have been punched, choked and kicked. something is very wrong with these dehumanizing tactics. we as a community have to step up and stop the excuse to beat and kill people of color by law enforcement agencies. the school district just hired criminals to run our schools, people with proven track records of corruption. people of color who care nothing bout people of color for they look down on us the most vulnerable members of society. we as a community have to wake up and gain control over our communities. town watch is great when we all participate. 

Nancy Carroll, Tyree’s grandmother says: “Where is the accountability? The police boast of running anti-bullying campaigns in the schools but what kind of example is this to our children when they protect the dangerous bullies on their own staff?  I want justice in the beating of my grandson. I want those officers named and off the police force. ”

“The public has a right to know, not just these names but all of the names of the officers involved. It is an issue of public safety. How can we be confident to walk on our own streets when these men are roaming around?” said Ebony Carroll, Tyree’s sister.

Dorothy Roberts, Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, says that “the police are flipping the script by describing the beating as part of a drug arrest, in fact this is an attempt at character assassination to cover up their racial profiling and brutality.  Despite police claims that it was a ‘drug arrest’, in police testimony at a hearing on the case, police also said they did not see any exchange of drugs and that he was riding his bike the wrong way down a one way street – it happened to be the street where his grandmother Nancy Carroll lives.”

The Justice for Tyree Campaign are family members and supporters in Philadelphia and around the country who have come together to press for Justice for Tyree Carroll.

Demands:

·        The immediate release of Mr. Tyree Carroll’s medical records from the hospital after the beating, as well as any prison medical records since the beating, to the family and to the Justice for Tyree Campaign.

·        A doctor of the family’s choosing and independent of the prison system examine Mr. Carroll immediately, including taking X-rays that would show any injuries sustained by the beating.

·        Mr. Carroll must be immediately released from prison.

·        The city to make available and cover the cost of counseling for Mr. Carroll and other family members and loved ones of their choosing to help them deal with the trauma from the entire incident. 

·        The 26 Philadelphia police officers involved in the beating and/or present at the scene be identified and publicly named, investigated for previous incidents, placed on leave without pay immediately, and be fired.

·        The Chief of Police step down.

·        The US Department of Justice begins an immediate investigation into the beating.

·        The Mayor, the District Attorney, City Council, and District representatives in Congress issue strong and clear statements that such police brutality, illegality and racism is no longer tolerated and will be investigated.

·        In order to facilitate her participation in all proceedings, the city must fast-forward Nancy Carroll's (Mr. Carroll’s grandmother's) request for city assistance with transportation, including help getting down her front stairs.  She is in a wheelchair yet must apply to three different agencies to get access to the city’s program to assist with transportation for people with disabilities in order to possibly leave her home if other family members aren't available to assist.

·        A guarantee of no retaliation by any law enforcement or any other government agencies against people in the community who took the videos of the beating and that they can come forward without fear of intimidation, retaliation or criminalization.  They should be designated as a protected class.

·        Similarly, there must be a guarantee of no retaliation against Mr. Carroll, the family and people involved in the Justice for Tyree Campaign by police, prison guards or authorities.

·        The Mayor and other city and law enforcement officials meet with the Justice for Tyree Campaign to discuss implementation of these demands.

·        The City establish a reparations fund, similar to one established in Chicago, for victims of police brutality.
