Crowd laughs after officer knocked unconscious in West Baltimore – police looking for man who did it

Crowd laughs after officer knocked unconscious in West Baltimore – police looking for man who did it 1

BALTIMORE, MD – What is happening to our country?

Police are searching for a suspect after a Maryland Transit Administration Police Officer was knocked out on October 9th near a subway station in West Baltimore. 

A spokeswoman for the MTA, Veronica Battisti, confirmed that they did have an officer who was knocked unconscious at the Upton Metro Station.  The officer, who was not identified, was transported to a local hospital and is believed to be able to recover.

The MTA released a statement which read:

“This afternoon a MDOT MTA police officer was assaulted at the Upton Metro Station.  The officer was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.  MDOT MTA Police continue to investigate the incident.  Anyone who witnessed this incident is encouraged to call MDOT MTA Police at 410-454-7720.”

A photograph of the injured officer, slumped against a wall and clearly unconscious, circulated on social media.  The caption for the photograph noted that it was taken in the 1700 block of Pennsylvania Avenue.

After the photograph, a video was posted on social media which showed people standing around the downed officer without making any attempts to help him.  The people were heard saying that the officer was “always talking [expletive].”  Others said that the officer had been “knocked the [expletive] out.” 

Another video is then seen in which officers are tending to their fallen comrade.  At least one person, seeing the officers helping their own, commented that the officers were “next.” 

At this time, police have not released any information on what may have led up to the officer being attacked.  They have, however, released a photograph of the alleged suspect as he was walking in the subway area.

Brandon Scott, the City Council President tweeted:

“BPD made me aware of an assault on a @mtamaryland Police Officer this afternoon that resulted in him being knocked unconscious.  The person who did this is a coward and must be brought to justice.”

The attack on the officer comes a day after an MTA bus driver was killed while working.  The victim, Marcus Parks, worked as a bus driver in the city for twenty years.  

Baltimore Police Department reported that an officer who was patrolling in the area of East Fayette Street heard gunshots around 10:30 in the morning on October 8th.  The officer responded to the area and began chasing someone who they believed had fired the shots.  Unfortunately, the suspect was able to get away.

The officer went back to where he had begun chasing the suspect and discovered Parks with multiple gunshot wounds.  The officer summoned medical assistance while trying to save Parks’ life.  Sadly, Parks succumbed to his injuries and died at the scene.

During the investigation, detectives learned that Parks was in some type of argument with the suspect.  Baltimore Police Spokesman Donny Moses said:

“Everyone had just gotten off of the bus.  The suspect tried to get onto the bus at which time the bus driver told him that no passengers were allowed on the bus at that time.”

Police believe that this is what caused the argument between Parks and the assailant.  The suspect took Parks’ bag and Parks chased him.  It was during the chase that the suspect shot and killed Parks.

Thankfully, it did not take police long to arrest two people who they say were involved in the tragic murder.  Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison reported that Cameron Silcott and Nichelle Greene were both arrested on October 8th, roughly six blocks away from where the murder occurred.

Both Silcott and Green were charged with homicide and other gun related offenses.  Harrison did not speak as to how they identified both of them and their alleged involvement in the murder but attributed the bust to ‘good old-fashioned detective work.’

Watch: NYPD officer attacked by group of men while people film, chant “F- 12!”

June 2, 2020 New York City, New York – Video has surfaced online that showcases a police officer, said to be among the Bronx area, getting attacked by three individuals. The officer was on the ground, while people were filming and screaming expletives at the officer being assaulted.

The hatred being shown toward police now is getting far beyond out of hand, as the blatant violence is continuing to rise seemingly with every instance and encounter.

This video, that was shared by the Sergeants Benevolent Association online, is just another example of what officers in major cities are actively dealing with during these “peaceful” protests.

The video shows what looks to be one person holding the officer down, while someone runs up with some unidentifiable large object and hurls it at the grounded officer. That assailant then runs off on foot, but the person whom the officer was engaged with is still holding him to the ground.

Then, another individual quickly runs up to where the officer is on the ground, and retrieves the same said item thrown earlier at him and slams it down on the officer.  

During the assault, you can hear the likes of “fuck 12” being shouted. The 12 is in reference to the police drag unit, but is typically interchangeable with expression like the more widely known “fuck the police”. The anti-police sentiments have been clearly made, and it seems the only thing the mainstream media can be outraged about is President Donald Trump holding a bible.

The riots and looting taking over New York City has also caught the attention of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is now criticizing Mayor Bill de Blasio for not having increased the police presence within the city:

“I believe the mayor underestimates the scope of the problem. I think he underestimates the duration of the problem.”

Apparently, Mayor de Blasio thinks that the peaceful protesters were doing a bang up job when they “rejected” the rioters from participating among their demonstrations:

“There were peaceful protesters who rejected the violent elements and forced them out of protests. There were elected officials and clergy who said to people, ‘If you’re going to protest in our community it must be peaceful. If you attempt any violence, we will reject you.’ That ultimately is the big story here.”

Obviously, it’s not as though the violent criminals just went home when they were ousted from joining the peaceful demonstrations. They simply decided to go and engage in their crimes wherever they pleased – as evidenced by numerous videos of incidents cropping up.

Another aspect, compliments of de Blasio, that didn’t help was the extremely late curfew enacted. While many states and cities have been seeing 8:00 p.m. curfews go into effect , the mayor thought that an 11:00 p.m. curfew would be just fine.

It wasn’t the mayor received enormous pushback on his original curfew that he amended it to begin at 8:00 p.m. on June 2nd.

Several videos showed the chaos that played out on the evening of June 1st, with one instancing of looting being caught by police where they can be seen taking an individual into custody.

In other video, you can see the decimated state of a Verizon store located on East 43rd Street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The interiors look to have been completely looted of any product located on the shelves. The glass windows shattered to pieces all over as well.

People online have been highly critical of the worsening situation in New York City, and also the double standard that has been showcased in relation to how the mayor approached COVID-19 versus these current demonstrations.

And just like that, COVID was no longer a thing being enforced it seems, and riots are taking over the city. So much for de Blasio’s harsh stance about cracking down on large gatherings.

In the meantime, there’s a city-wide search underway after two NYPD officers were struck in hit-and-run attacks overnight.

Both officers are hospitalized but are expected to survive.

The first happened in the Bronx early Tuesday, when the officer was mowed down at the intersection of East 170th Street and Walton Avenue in Mt. Eden by the driver of a dark sedan.

This, according to dramatic footage of the incident that police hope will help locate the suspect.

The officer was rushed to Bellevue Hospital.

In the video of the hit-and-run, which was posted to Twitter, you can see the officer get launched into the air and hit another vehicle after being struck.

“That’s a f—ing cop,” a woman recording the footage says after impact. “Oh s–t!”

The officer lands in the middle of the intersection and several other people, who are believed to be officers, rush over.

An NYPD van rushes in and the injured officer is put in the vehicle.

“Oh my God, oh my God!” witnesses can be heard saying.

Just moments after, three more police vehicles show up and the van carrying the wounded officer drives off.

The witness later said on social media there were helicopters in the area “chasing that car down.”

Another officer was hit by a vehicle when he tried to stop a cellphone store burglary on Eighth Street in Manhattan.

Few details are available on that attack, but police have said no arrests have been made in either case.

More than 50 police officers have been hurt since the citywide protests began Thursday night.

We’re now told that some 2,000 NYC “protestors”, including 700 Monday night alone, have been arrested over the five days of .

NYPD says that a second night of curfew starts at 8 p.m. Tuesday and runs until the following morning at 5 a.m.

They say essential workers, the homeless and people seeking medical attention will be exempt.

Investigators are now saying certain extremist groups are fueling the late-night violence.

On Monday night, NYPD doubled the officers on city streets.

They focused hotspots from previous protests like Barclays Center and Union Square – yet despite this, destructive looting was widespread in certain areas, particularly in midtown Manhattan and the Bronx.

According to Mayor Bill de Blasio, there were “real problems” on Fordham and Burnside Avenue.

New York City Council Member Fernando Cabrera (D-Bronx) called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to activate the National Guard, as 20 other states have done.

“Fordham Road is the lifeblood of the West Bronx, providing jobs as well as essential goods and services,” Cabrera said. “We are already suffering physically, socially and emotionally from the COVID-19 pandemic. We can’t afford to lose our economic engine.”

Cuomo, on the other hand, said while he has the National Guard on standby, he thinks the NYPD has the manpower to handle the protests.

Over the weekend, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, not long before his own daughter was arrested in a riot this weekend, said he was taking a “light touch” to the riots in the city.

Everyone in law enforcement knows that the “light touch” isn’t the solution.

The SBA responded in their typical savage fashion:

“If Mayor DeBlasio wants a light touch then let him stand in front and take the first brick to the face. Or perhaps he can sit in a police vehicle and catch the Malatov Cocktail that’s thrown into it. Here’s the light touch, DeBlasio brain.”

The rioters got the message loud and clear from de Blasio, however.

An NYPD supervisor is lucky to be alive after being hit in the head with what was believed to be a brick in Brooklyn Friday night.

Lt. Robert Corbett typically works in the legal department of the NYPD.

In an image he shared on social media Saturday morning, he’s seen with a blood-stained shirt and a bloody face.

The images were posted to Corbett’s Facebook page and were shared through police sources with Law Enforcement Today.

“So … my face is a brick magnet,” Corbett said in the post.

“Apparently word travels fast so thanks everyone for reaching out. My head hurts and it’s a little hard to talk.”

He was one of many officers injured as protests turned into violence.

Things really started to pop off Saturday afternoon.

The streets were flooded with a blend of demonstrators and rioters on May 29th, all in response to the death of George Floyd.

With reports of police vans being torched in the city, officers from the NYPD being assaulted, and hundreds of people needing to be arrested, Mayor de Blasio stated that his police force had zero to do with what happened several states over in Minnesota:

“I want to just say anyone who wants to protest, we’re going to protect your right to protest, but please also respect [that] the cop in front of you did not create the problem.”

The city mayor’s statements are reflective of a “what’s this got to do with us?” mentality, which is a fair notion.

Mayor de Blasio also took to Twitter, noting that “deescalating” the situation was top priority, and that he doesn’t “want to see another night like this.”

Interesting that the same mayor who was attacking the Jewish community for saying goodbye to the fallen in funerals recently hasn’t made much of a peep about “social distancing”.

When looking at some of the footage from the May 29th protests in New York City, it’s understandable why the mayor wouldn’t want another episode akin to what played out.

Footage showed physical clashes stemming from protesters trying to fight police while they were enacting arrests.

Certain accounts of the demonstration stated that one officer was punched in the head with brass knuckles, while other reports came in saying a suspect was taken into custody for throwing a trash can at a police officer.

Current estimates of people arrested were around 200 out of the over-3,000 protesters in attendance as of May 30th.

Video has also surfaced of the smoldering remains of an NYPD police vehicle that was torched during the evening that played out.

A woman was also arrested for attempted murder charges for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at a NYPD police vehicle that had four officers inside at the time. Police were able to exit the vehicle unharmed, and the device luckily did not ignite the van.

Authorities say the woman behind that attack is 27-year-old Samantha Shader. NYPD Chief Terence Monahan said the following about that arrest:

“Those officers are lucky to be alive today. We apprehended that person and they are going to be prosecuted federally. That’s someone not from this community that’s going to hopefully be going away to jail for a long time.”

The suspect’s sister, 21-year-old Darian Shader, was also taken into custody for allegedly interfering with the arrest. The sister is now facing charges of obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest.

Like many other city officials have been mentioning lately, Chief Monahan noted that many of the hostile participants within the protest in New York City seemed to not be from the area:

“This was a very organized attack on police officers that was committed by people not from these communities, not from New York. A lot of outside instigators who were there solely for one reason…to fight the police. This is out of towners, people not part of the communities, people that are coming in to our neighborhoods, into our communities, and causing mayhem.”

The numerous videos of the riot that happened within New York City have flooded Twitter, with instance after instance of vandalism and violence showcased.

Considering all that the city endured between the evening hours of the 29th and the early morning of the 30th, it’s making sense as to why so many were arrested during the demonstration.

While Mayor de Blasio has requested that an independent entity conduct an investigation into the riot that occurred in New York City, even he did not condone the attacks on police:

“They meant to attack police vehicles. And they did. They meant to attack police precincts. And that is all purely unacceptable. It does not reflect our values. We will not accept that.”
