Police in Cleveland and East Cleveland
are facing a barrage of criticism after a
chase last week ended with at least 13
officers firing 137 rounds into a vehicle
they believed contained armed
suspects; however, once the smoke
cleared and they were able to
investigate the bullet-riddled ride police
found no gun. The onslaught of police
gunfire last Thursday left two unarmed
civilians, Timothy Russell, 43, and
Malissa Williams, 30, dead at the scene.
According to the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, who has been following the
case exhaustively, “The chase began
about 10:30 p.m. Thursday outside the
Justice Center in downtown Cleveland.
In a news conference Saturday,
[Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association president Jeffery] Follmer said two Cleveland officers heard
a gunshot and believed it came from a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu belonging to Timothy Russell.”
Reportedly, Russell and Williams fled through Cleveland and into East Cleveland, hitting a police car
before exiting the freeway and heading into East Cleveland where they were cornered on a dead end
access road near a middle school. It was then police say the driver of the vehicle attempted to ram into
police cars at which point police gang-sprayed the car mercilessly.
Describing the incident as “very regrettable,” Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath said he would
ask for federal assistance in ensuring that a complete and careful investigation is conducted into why
the department was involved in a 20-minute chase and how the situation escalated so rapidly.
“It’s really with a heavy heart. I can’t tell you how much this hurts the Cleveland Division of Police,”
McGrath reportedly said, according to the Plain Dealer. “We work so hard. We worked so hard to make
things good. Something like this, I’m not saying it makes us look bad because the investigation isn’t
completed yet, but it’s a real challenge for us.”
However, Jeffery Follmer, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, finds no fault
with police and believes they acted appropriately. “I don’t understand where the bad guys aren’t still
bad, and now it’s the police officers,” Follmer told the media.
“The officers involved are experienced and professional police officers,” Follmer continued. “For
anyone who was not there to judge them without knowing all the facts, or to blame anyone else but the
two occupants of that car for their own death, is ignorant and self-serving. Our officers did a great job.”
The two vehicle occupants both had lengthy criminal histories, however, Follmer noted at a press
conference Saturday that officers had no idea who was driving the vehicle, contrary to East Cleveland
Sgt. Scott Gardner’s statement that the victim’s plates were ran during the pursuit.
Cleveland Safety Director Martin Flask issued a list of various questions the investigation will seek to
answer, such as: Was the pursuit properly supervised as required by the policies of the Division of
Police?Was the number of officers involved in the pursuit limited as required? and Was the use of force
by the officers necessary to protect the lives and safety of the officers?
According to one witness, about 50 police cars were involved in the chase.
ACLU legal director James Hardiman told the Plain Dealer he’s thoroughly baffled that police were
even involved in the chase, as Cleveland’s pursuit policy has been reworked since 2007 to reduce the
number of chase-related deaths.
“Sure, we don’t know all the facts yet, but we were told Cleveland police were not going to be involved
in any more high-speed chases,” Hardiman reportedly said. “These obviously have risks, not only to the
suspects and police themselves, but potential injuries to innocent pedestrians. In this case, it seems like
overreaction by police right from the start.
“And then to fire over 100 shots is not reasonable. No shots should have been fired. Police would have
arrested these suspects without a high-speed chase or firing shots. A thorough investigation should be
conducted . . . at least we can hope it will.”
Now the search for a gun and justifiable evidence linking the two deceased victims to the alleged crime
will have to be coughed up to clear officers of wrongdoing. Reportedly, no shell casings were found in
Russell’s vehicle or along the chase route. Similarly, no bullets were found outside the Justice Center in
downtown Cleveland where police say they first heard gunfire.
“The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office is running gunshot-residue tests on Russell’s and
Williams’ hands to determine if either fired a gun. The results should be in before week’s end,” noted
the Plain Dealer.
A group of concerned citizens held a protest and a march yesterday led by an organization called
“Black on Black Crime” to call public attention to the gross misuse of lethal force being referred to as
“lynchings.”
The group compared the tragic events to Bonnie & Clyde’s predicament in a press release, saying:
“Bonnie & Clyde, the notorious bank robbers, were shot 30 to 50 times when their vehicle was
surrounded by the posse of Texas and Louisiana officers…We know why they were chasing
Bonnie and Clyde, but we are not clear why they were chasing Malissa and Timothy. “It appears
that these two victims were unarmed and no gun casings were found in the vehicle to show that
they had been shooting at anyone. So, it appears that two unarmed people were gunned down in
what the police union official calls a “good shooting.” We do know that the Cleveland police
violated many rules and regulations in the case and the shooting. “The community and family
have questions.”

Gun Control INCREASES Gun Crime

Would banning handguns in America reduce
gun crime? After handguns were banned in
Britain, gun crime more than DOUBLED.
Gun control only creates victims who cannot
defend themselves against criminals. More
guns = less crime.

Alex Jones Calls for Boycott of NFL,

                                                      Within a day after Kansas City Chiefs
                                                      linebacker Jovan Belcher’s and his girlfriend’s
                                                      deaths, the establishment launched a surprise
                                                      attack on the right to bear arms and the
                                                      Second Amendment using guns as a scapegoat
                                                      to distract from the most-likely culprit: the
                                                      concussion-inducing, psychotropic drug-
                                                      addicted, gladiatorial thug, celebrity rock star
                                                      culture plaguing the NFL.
This past weekend on Sunday Night Football, sports commentator Bob Costas, with the full
support of NBC and the NFL, indicted the “gun culture” as he quoted an article by Fox Sports
columnist James Whitlock which blamed guns for the sad killings that took place. He read the
following publicly on air to millions of NFL viewers across the country:
      “Our current gun culture ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the
      ultimate tragedy and that more convenience-store confrontations over loud music coming
      from a car will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead.”

      “Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate
      arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it. In the coming
      days, Jovan Belcher’s actions, and their possible connection to football will be analyzed.
      Who knows?”

However, blaming guns for the deaths is like blaming spoons and forks for obese people.
There can be no mistake that the Costas incident was a flagrantly bold, covert and coordinated attack
on citizens’ gun rights, but this episode is just the latest in a series of pathetic attempts in the course of
the Obama administration to subvert the Second Amendment.
The current president’s lengthy resumé of attacks on guns speaks volumes about his attitude towards
Americans’ right to bear arms.
In the book Debacle, Obama is quoted telling author John R. Lott, Jr., PhD, “I don’t believe that people
should be able to own guns,” while both worked at the University of Chicago Law School in 1996.
While running for a Senate seat in Illinois, Obama filled out a survey by a liberal Independent voter
organization saying that while it is politically impracticable, “restrictions on the sale and possession of
handguns are necessary to protect the public safety.”
His response to another question in the same survey is equally disturbing. To a question asking, “Do
you support legislation to ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns, assault weapons and
ammunition for handguns and assault weapons?,” Obama reportedly answered: “I would support
banning the sale of ammunition for assault weapons and limiting the sale of ammunition for handguns.”
Months before the Fast and Furious gun-walking fiasco surfaced, Obama had reportedly met with gun
control advocate Sarah Brady telling her he was working on the gun issue “under the radar,” and that
gun regulations were “very much on his agenda.”
“In the meeting, she said, Obama discussed how records get into the system and what can be done
about firearms retailers. Her husband specifically brought up the proposed ban on large magazine clips,
and she noted that even former vice president Dick Cheney had suggested that some restrictions on the
clips might make sense,” wrote Jason Horowitz for the Washington Post.
Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder is on record 15 years ago saying we need to “brainwash people
into thinking about guns in a vastly different way,” and at an October debate during his campaign for a
second term, Obama said, “What I’m trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we
reduce the violence generally. Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced.”
It can now be counted on that every time there is a random act of violence involving firearms, the event
will be used to further eviscerate the Second Amendment and restrict gun rights.
Are we witnessing the “brainwashing” Holder talked about?
Let’s not forget they fired Hank Williams Jr. from performing the intro to Monday Night Football after
decades simply for expressing his belief that the presidency was turning into a dictatorship, clearly
indicating who the corporations and networks answer to.
Now is the time to stand up to these establishment control freaks, to these social engineers that try to
blame every tragedy on, not just the Second Amendment, but our freedoms in their efforts to disarm
America, as so many others countries around the world have already been.
We need to ask ourselves: Why is the NFL endorsing an attack on the most bedrock of American
freedoms that almost no one else in the world enjoys? It’s because firearms are the hallmark of a free
society and the last thing standing in the way of a complete global takeover of the U.S.
It’s time to boycott the NFL, NBC and Bob Costas
unless they come out and apologize and repudiate
their attack on the rights of millions of gun owners
across the country.

In response to Bob Costas’ unmistakable declaration
of war on the Second Amendment, Infowars.com is
launching a new contest looking for the best video
taped open letter to Mr. Costas telling him why the
Second Amendment, citizen gun rights, the Bill of
Rights and the Constitution are essential to a free
society.
The contest aims to call attention to the media’s
blatantly transparent efforts to control and shape
public opinion in regards to firearms.
Additionally, everyone is encouraged to mail spoons
with notes to Mr. Costas because, by his own logic,
spoons are responsible for the rising obesity
epidemic that has claimed the lives of millions of Americans.
Join Infowars.com in boycotting the NFL, NBC and Bob Costas unless they issue an apology and
renounce their claims against the Second Amendment.
