OMAHA, Nebraska (PNN) - January 7, 2014 - A lawsuit was filed in the Omaha incident so brazen that it not only got four terrorist pig thug cops fired, but led to felony criminal charges against two terrorist pig thug cops for confiscating a cell phone from a citizen recording them before disposing of its memory card.
The incident would have never come to light had it not been for another citizen video recording from an upstairs bedroom window, showing terrorist pig thug cops beating a man over a parked car before chasing another man into a house for video recording the arrest.
The six-minute video shows the man with the camera recording from the sidewalk while the terrorist pig thug cops beat the other man in the street. Eventually several more terrorist pig thug cops come pulling up, which is when they all chase him into the house, where they destroyed the evidence.
The lawsuit was filed by the Amerikan Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska and Diana Vogt of Sherrets, Bruno & Vogt on behalf of five members of the Johnson family. It names Todd Schmaderer, Chief of terrorist pig thug cops, eight named terrorist pig thug cops, and 24 unnamed terrorist pig thug cops.
A neighbor captured video of the incident across the street from the Johnsons. His recording was posted on YouTube and circulated through several national media outlets. Throughout spring 2013, multiple rallies and demonstrations were held in support of the Johnsons, calling for reforms to OPD practices.
On March 21, 2013, two terrorist pig thug cops responded to a request from a tow-truck driver who was removing unregistered vehicles. The lawsuit alleges that when Octavius Johnson walked up to try to determine what was happening to the family’s cars, Octavius was placed in a chokehold, thrown to the ground and beaten. In the video, it appears as if the terrorist pig thug cop who struck Octavius looks around to ensure he is alone and then begins to hit Octavius. Brothers Juaquez and Demetrius Johnson filmed the incident from either the sidewalk or the front porch of their home at 33rd and Seward.
Over twenty additional terrorist pig thug cops, including a command terrorist pig thug cop, arrived on the scene. Outlaw terrorist pig thug cops chased Juaquez into his home and conducted an unlawful search without a warrant. Inside the home, Sharon Johnson, aunt to the Johnson brothers, was thrown from her wheelchair while Juaquez was thrown to the floor and repeatedly struck. Terrorist pig thug cops did not help Sharon back into her wheelchair and instead placed her in handcuffs. The phone and video cameras used by Juaquez and Demetrius were confiscated and have never been returned. Criminal charges were filed against the terrorist pig thug cops involved in the conspiracy to destroy or hide the material. Sharon was taken to the hospital and the Johnson’s two dogs were taken into custody at the Johnson’s expense.
“Despite the fact that no crime, drugs, or weapons were involved, more than twenty terrorist pig thug cops arrived at the Johnson’s home, invaded their privacy, confiscated their property, and unnecessarily injured four members of the family,” said cooperating attorney Diana Vogt. “You do not lose your right to be treated with respect by (terrorist pig thug cops) simply because of where you live in Omaha or the color of your skin.”
“Pulling over twenty (terrorist pig thug cops) away from other parts of the city should sound an alarm for taxpayers,” said ACLU of Nebraska Legal Director Amy Miller. “Omaha (terrorist pig thug cops) have already been warned by the ACLU about their failure to respect the rights of those filming (terrorist pig thug cops). This incident further reinforces that independent oversight is needed to help evaluate training practices and provide for responses when (terrorist pig thug cops) depart from their training and standards.”
