Student athlete, who settled false arrest suit with City, racially profiled & falsely arrested for shoplifting

Submitted by T. Forsyth (photo: 13WHAM.com) on Wed, 2016-03-02 15:30

On February 22, 2016, Raliek Redd was shopping at Macy's at The Mall At Greece Ridge when he was racially profiled by store employees and falsely arrested for shoplifting by Greece, NY police. Mr. Redd and his lawyer, Elliot Dolby-Shields, are planning to file a lawsuit claiming that Macy's employees racially profiled and then wrongfully detained Mr. Redd because they didn't believe that he could afford to buy a $100 jacket. When security refused to listen to him, after showing them the receipts of his purchases including the jacket, the Greece police arrived and falsely arrested him for shoplifting.


Mr. Redd's name may be familiar to some people as he was arrested by the Rochester Police Department on November 27, 2013, with two other Edison Technical High School student athletes, while they were waiting for a bus to take them to a basketball scrimmage at Aquinas High School. The arresting officer, Eliud Rodriguez, violated Mr. Redd's constitutional and civil rights and subjected the three teenagers to an "unconstitutional strip search" in front of multiple RPD officers and corrections officers from the Monroe County jail. The charges were dismissed on December 3, 2013 and Mr. Redd settled with the City of Rochester for an unspecified amount of money in January 2016.

Motion to suppress statements denied in police violence case

Submitted by T. Forsyth on Wed, 2016-02-24 11:10

Dressed in a black suit with a bright, red, button-down shirt, Scean Gordon walked into Judge Ellen Yacknin's court for his Huntley Hearing on February 9, 2016, where the judge would eventually deny his motion to suppress statements he made to police before being brutalized and arrested by Rochester Police Department officers Nicholas Thomas and Christopher Kosch. What was of more interest that day was what the officers said, under oath, rather than the denial of Mr. Gordon's motion.

Several supporters—many apart of a new chapter of the Black Panther Party wearing t-shirts with the logo emblazoned on it—stood up. A bailiff called out for people to be seated. Mr. Gordon's supporters ignored the plea of the deputy and didn't sit down until he sat next to his lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Christine Seppeler.

Officers Thomas, in a gray suit, and Kosch, in uniform, stood in the lobby of the Hall of Justice waiting to be called by the Assistant District Attorney Hillary Levitt.

Judge Yacknin wasted no time once the proceeding began, an hour and 18 minutes late, and admonished the gallery. Anyone caught audio or video recording would be arrested, she threatened.

The Apocalypse’s Apocalypse and Post-Apocalyptic Visions of Sunshine and Blessings

Submitted by Jimmy Johnson from cico3.com on Sat, 2016-02-20 21:33

Link to original article: https://cico3.com/2015/11/18/the-apocalypses-apocalypse-and-post-apocaly...

This posts stems from a conversation with Kyle Johnson after we watched Mad Max: Fury Road together. Thanks to Linda Quiquivix , Zoé Samudzi and William Copeland for feedback on the idea and draft to help make it vaguely coherent. In thinking about worlds I leaned heavily on Frantz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth and Frank Wilderson’s Red, White and Black even where not cited directly. None of the above can be blamed for what follows. After completing the draft a couple of friends put me onto this great recent CBC conversation which also covers parts of what is below. Special thanks to Cass Chen who was a wonderful friend, host and conversationalist while I scribbled.

Gordon's motions denied by judge in police violence case

Submitted by T. Forsyth on Tue, 2016-01-12 22:09

Scean Gordon, represented by Assistant Public Defender Christine Seppeler, stood tall wearing his Black Panther t-shirt and navy blue button down as city court Judge Ellen Yacknin hemmed and hawed while she considered each of Ms. Seppeler's well-argued motions before denying each. The January 5, 2016 hearing was a last attempt for Mr. Gordon to take a plea deal before trial preparations commenced. Seven supporters of Mr. Gordon sat in court.

Mr. Gordon was brutalized and arrested by Rochester Police Department officers Nicholas Thomas and Christopher Kosch after video taping them mis-identifying and arresting his neighbor Daryl Appleberry on November 9, 2015. Mr. Gordon pulled out his cell phone and started recording the scene immediately after police said that his neighbor was under arrest. Officers at the scene were uncooperative with Mr. Gordon's questions as he tried to identify them. He was able to record some of their name plates, badge numbers, and car numbers. He told Mr. Appleberry to remain silent and maintain his rights.

As the cruiser was pulling away to the right with Mr. Appleberry in handcuffs in the back seat, officer Thomas stopped the vehicle—telling his partner officer Kosch “I have to get this guy for something [referring to Mr. Gordon],” according to Mr. Appleberry. Officer Thomas jumped out of the cruiser, told Mr. Gordon he was under arrest, and proceeded to tackle him, threw him into the pavement, used a Taser on him, pepper sprayed and choked him. Mr. Gordon was eventually handcuffed and put into the back seat of a different cruiser and taken away.

Mr. Appleberry was released shortly after Mr. Gordon was removed from the scene. When Mr. Appleberry asked to see the photo of the suspect, the officers remained silent. An unknown officer said, “Oh, you all look alike,” according to Mr. Appleberry.

Ms. Seppeler laid out a strong defense of her client. She entered motions to dismiss the disorderly conduct and obstruction of governmental administration charges arguing that there was “insufficient” evidence for the charges to stand. She also entered a motion to dismiss the charges in the furtherance of justice after reviewing two videos of the incident in question. Her final motion asked the court to grant a jury of Mr. Gordon's peers from within the boundaries of the City of Rochester rather than Monroe County.

From the Vault! Rochester Indymedia digs for content from the past

Submitted by Rochester Indymedia on Sun, 2016-01-03 21:04

In the spring of 2013, our old video channel host--Blip.tv--decided that our content didn't fit in with their new make-over of being the place to go for fictional video webseries. So, Rochester Indymedia was given a week to download all of our content before it would be deleted.

Needless to say, we got our content. Re-uploading it onto our YouTube.com channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/RochesterIndymedia) has been a much slower and tedious process.

On top of that, many of the people who have participated with the IMC over the years have content that was never published. This content comes in the forms of video, audio, written work, and still photography.

From the Vault! is a new type of feature where we can unearth some of our old and unpublished stuff and put it out there for our (new) audience. Other feature types we've used in the past and might be used in the future again are IndyTV (our interview show at Rochester Community Television) and Indymedia Uncut (a feature usually showcasing a lengthy interview or lecture).

Aside from letting folks know about the vault, we wanted to actually share some footage that has just been transfered to our Youtube.com video channel. (Mind you, we are not going to republish the hundreds of videos we've already uploaded to the channel.)

The first videos we wanted to highlight were shot by Al Brundage. Resident of Turtle Island and peace activist Jimmy Johnson gave a lecture titled From Disney to drone wars - Settler colonialism, militarism and empire in the United States and Israel at the Flying Squirrel in Rochester on March 21 2012.  The lecture was followed by an hour of question and answer.

From Disney to drone wars: Settler colonialism, militarism and empire in the U.S. and Israel

Part I

Q&A following From Disney to Drone Wars

Part II

The original article can be found here: From Disney to Drone Wars - a critical settler perspective.

The second video we wanted to share from the vault was an interview conducted by Dawn "the Barefoot Host" Zuppelli and produced and shot by the Rochester Indymedia collective: Indy TV #22: Making Sense of Gaza: A conversation with Aunali Khaku and Imran Rafi.

IndyTV # 22: Making Sense of Gaza- A conversation with Aunali Khaku and Imran Rafi

Enjoy! And please check out our Youtube.com channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/RochesterIndymedia) for more amazing content over the last 13 years. Want to get involved? Please come out to a meeting!

On the FIRST WEDNESDAY of the MONTH, the collective is meeting from 7:00PM - 9:00PM at Rochester Community Television (21 Gorham Street Rochester, NY 14605).

On the 2ND, 3RD, 4TH, (and sometimes) 5TH WEDNESDAYS of the MONTH, the collective will meet 7:00PM - 9:00PM at the Flying Squirrel Community Space (285 Clarissa St., Rochester, NY 14608).

Over 400 people attended the Rochester March for Global Climate Action on Sunday November 29 2015. The event coincided with  United Nations Climate Summit beginning that day in Paris, France.  President Obama and 140 other world leaders are attending the summit.  A large march in Paris had to be cancelled due to the recent armed terror attacks on November 13. But people turned out in solidarity in over 2200 cities around the world including Rochester. The event was organized by the Rochester People's Climate Coalition, formed in 2014.

From the Democrat & Chronicle: "Ex-wife: Suspect a nonviolent man" [full txt]

Ex-wife: Suspect a nonviolent man

Author: Freile, Victoria; Ramos, Nestor; Dobbin, Sean

http://search.proquest.com/docview/898407096?accountid=47680

Abstract: [...] the attacker must display intent to do physical harm. [...] they must possess the capability -- either the physical strength or ability to operate that weapon -- to follow through.

Full text: The ex-wife of a 43-year-old man who was shot and killed by Rochester police Thursday night said her ex-husband -- still a close friend -- was a generous, nonviolent man who laughed and joked with her even as they filed their divorce paperwork.


Hayden O. Blackman was shot to death in a second-floor apartment at 181 Columbia Ave. after officers responded to a 911 call involving a domestic dispute, according to Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard. Police on Friday identified the officer who fired the shots as Randy Book, a 25-year-old who has been on the force for 4 1/2 years.


Antonia Salters Blackman said her ex-husband was shot in the home he shared with his new wife, whom he married over the summer.


Sheppard said officers found Blackman, who lived in the upstairs apartment, holding a six-inch folding knife and threatening his 16-year-old stepson. The officers remained in the doorway of the apartment and directed Blackman to drop the knife several times, Sheppard said.

Two Black men, one falsely arrested & the other brutalized by RPD, tell their stories

Submitted by T. Forsyth on Sun, 2015-11-22 23:23

On November 9, 2015, at around 11:30am, Scean Gordon and Daryl Appleberry were the victims of racial profiling, wrongful police arrest, and brutality—amid corporate media carelessness and police lies.

According to Mr. Appleberry, police had a description and picture of the man they sought. However, Rochester Police Department officers continued to arrest Mr. Appleberry before and after he, his family, and his friends informed the police of his identity. Mr. Gordon began filming the situation as soon as he could on his cell phone.

As Mr. Gordon and Mr. Appleberry greeted each other in the middle of a quiet Grafton Street and began crossing, a police cruiser rolled up on them and two cops jumped out yelling at the Mr. Appleberry, “What's your name!” according to Mr. Gordon.

Before Mr. Gordon began filming, Mr. Appleberry had identified himself twice to the police.

“When they first jumped out and yelled 'What's your name?! We can make this easy,' I told the them my name was Daryl Appleberry twice,” said Mr. Appleberry.

Mr. Appleberry then identified himself in Mr. Gordon's video before he asserted his right to remain silent and his refusal to be searched.

Mr. Gordon did the only thing he could do at that moment: he documented the scene with his cell phone. He and Mr. Appleberry's family became frustrated and angry when police refused to identify themselves and proceeded to handcuff and arrest Mr. Appleberry—forcing him into the back seat of the cruiser.

Video from Scean Gordon

Video of Appleberry being wrongfully arrested

The video above shows Mr. Gordon moving closer to the officers in order to get their images, name plates, and badge numbers after they refused to identify themselves. He also went into the street briefly to capture the license plates of the cruisers. As he did this, he also reminded Mr. Appleberry of his rights. Seeing the police as apparent kidnappers who wouldn't identify themselves, Mr. Gordon refused to comply with their orders.

Video of Gordon being brutalized

As the cruiser was pulling away to the right with Mr. Appleberry in handcuffs in the back seat, officer Christopher Kosch stopped the vehicle—telling his partner “I have to get this guy for something [referring to Mr. Gordon],” according to Mr. Appleberry—jumped out, told Mr. Gordon he was under arrest, and proceeded to tackle him, threw him into the pavement, used a Taser on him, pepper sprayed and choked him. Mr. Gordon was eventually handcuffed and put into the back seat of a cruiser and taken away.

Mr. Appleberry was released shortly after Mr. Gordon was removed from the scene. When Mr. Appleberry asked to see the photo of the suspect, the officers remained silent. Officer Kosch's partner said, “Oh, you all look alike,” according to Mr. Appleberry.

Mr. Gordon was charged with obstruction of governmental administration, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest. After going to the hospital for treatment, where he was further taunted and humiliated by officers, he was booked downtown, spent the night in jail, and arraigned the following morning before Judge Ellen Yacknin.

In October 2015 the Pillar Community Space opened its doors and held its first religious service in the new venue!

Mental Health: A juxtaposition of Rochester police tactics

Submitted by Susan Galloway / T. Forsyth on Sat, 2015-11-07 11:02

A video of an incident on West Main Street on October 27, 2015 showed five Rochester police officers violently subduing a mentally ill, homeless, Black man. The incident lasted two minutes, according to the Rochester Police Department in a Democrat & Chronicle article.



What people may not know, however, was that about a week before on October 21, 2015, a similar incident happened on Clarissa Street involving a young, white man with mental health issues. The individual exhibited aggressive and belligerent behavior toward other people on Clarissa Street. During this incident, he removed his own clothing and proceeded to move up and down the street. The incident lasted a little over an hour.



Due to negative societal stigma attached to mental illness, Rochester Indymedia has made every effort to hide the face of the individual. We wanted to show the difference in how the police responded to both situations, and also question why there was a marked difference in police tactics. What happened on W. Main St. was not acceptable--regardless of police procedure.


Watch the video below of the incidents on October 27, 2015 and October 21, 2015:

Rev. Hagler's U of R speech and an interview with student organizer Hijazi

Submitted by T. Forsyth on Thu, 2015-10-22 14:41

After Rev. Graylan Hagler was dis-invited from speaking at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School and before he spoke at the Historic German House, Shurouq Hijazi and other student organizers with the Student Association for the Development of Arab Cultural Awareness (SADACA) scrambled to secure the Palestinian rights speaking engagement at the University of Rochester.  In the interview she discusses the process for bringing him, the community conflict with his dis-invitation from the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, academic freedom, and why his message was important for students and community members to hear. The interview was conducted on September 28, 2015. Hijazi sets some of the context for the reverend's controversial visit to Rochester.

Organizer Shurouq Hijazi on bringing Palestinian rights speaker to U of R

Rev. Hagler stopped at the University of Rochester to give a talk before speaking to a crowd at the German House on September 24, 2015. Once the U of R administration discussed security and the school's code against hate speech with Hijazi and the president of SADACA Abdulwahab Alhaji, the talk was secured and Rev. Hagler not only had the support of student organizations but also the U of R administration. The title of the talk was "Connecting the dots: From Ferguson to Palestine." It was a 40 minute talk and dealt specifically with pointing out the connections between apartheid in Israel and the Occupied Territories and the same kinds of humiliation and degradation that Black people and people of color experience in the U.S. on a daily basis by the police. This is part one which includes a brief introduction from Alhaji and Rev. Hagler's argument for connecting the dots.
