The Group Anonymous sends letter to Beavercreek PD with demands regarding the John Crawford shooting

John Crawford was shot and killed by the Beavercreek, Ohio Police while shopping at Walmart August 5 th. Mr. Crawford was holding a pellet gun which was on a display store shelf, standing alone, relaxed in the pet aisle and talking on his cell phone . Only one 911 call was made where the caller claimed him to be an active shooter.....he was not and was shot on site.

Now, no link yet but I just heard on WHIO-TV that the Group Anonymous has asked that the Beavercreek PD fire shooter officer Sean Williams, give a public apology and something else...Oh, bring charges against 911 caller, Ron Richie. Anonymous said if they do not comply, they will hack their computer and release information. The Grand jury did NOT find for indictment of the officers.

I say...ya got to do what ya got to do.

Hey, I found this link with Google.

Very cool flash protest yesterday. However, several still in jail. "We are John Crawford" Notice the stealthy legal observers look like regular shoppers until they pull out their neon green caps from their purses that indicate legal observers (Amnesty or ACLU)

Walmart belongs in this mix...if not just by association with reugs. Thanks for sharing the video. Ferguson protesters leads the way for the nation to follow...as we are here in the Dayton Ohio area.

Watched as much as I could today and it was amazing. They did a fantastic job this weekend.

The legal observers and live streamers must be doing a good job because those arrested have been getting out quickly.

And thanks to the live streamers they should all get exonerated too.

to act out aggressively they didn't. That took real (not even sure what word to use). Whatever it was, I wish we could bottle and sell (or just give it away). Police and military forces (and governments) around the world could use some.

It is simply building. There have been many in between and it may take even more, But, the final straw will come if legislatures don't do something quickly.

STOP killing our kids; STOP jailing our kids; STOP privatizing prisons and other public services; STOP taking our privacy away; STOP using fees and fines to break the poor; STOP trying to prevent education; STOP the lying and brutality by cops and prison guards; STOP regressive taxes, STOP using health care to ensure poverty, STOP using prior caught and/or convicted sentences to deny jobs and provide livings . STOP, just STOP it all.

And any middle class citizen that doesn't think this applies to them and their kids is just living in denial.

growing to the latest racism agitated by fuxx news, all racist republicans and OTHERS, limpig hate radio and stormfront type internet sites. I am especially proud of these young people who are saying, "OH NO YOU WON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I say not again. I will get my old ass out there, cane and all, I've got nothing to lose.

For sure they're hoping all the "ruckus" will die down and things will settle down to business as usual.

Be willing to bet that most in that cop shop have no idea who Anonymous even is. And I'm delighted that they're about to find out!

Thanks for posting this, FarPoint! I usually read WHIO's website every week, but haven't gone there for a while since this Ebola epidemic blew into the country.

They don't even seem like demands, it seems like all of them should have been done in the first place.

.. trying to keep the local bus system from extending to "our" malls, and bringing "those" people into town to rob, rape, and steal. I live in Beavercreek, and am disgusted with the very thinly disguised racism here.

Personally, if I didn't have a car and wanted to come to the Beavercreek malls to rob, rape, and steal, I'd want a dependable bus system to make my getaway.....

Yes, there is a climate here of keeping "those" people out. And there are some, I'm sure, happy that our stores are now safe again.

They rise and rest under the propaganda rants of foxx noise news. They deny racism while actively practicing it with every breath.

There will be domestic acts of terrorism on the individuals and families of the leaders and lieutenants of the vile acts of injustice. It will be the only thing left for anyone to do to escape the new 21st century slavery by trying to change things.

K&R a million times if I could.

This is the most important thing happening inside the US. From the racist cops right through to the protests. The fact that almost every single act of aggression on the side of the police across this country has been exonerated by the courts, just shows how far deep into this we are.

These kids are the new leaders of the movement for racial equality. They are awesome. They have to be beyond exhausted and they just keep leading and moving. The movement at the Ferguson PD yesterday morning, with preachers being arrested, some who have been doing this for 40 years, was heart wrenching.
