Quanah Parker Brightman -- Police Harassment in Pinole California


Quanah Parker Brightman -- Police Harassment in Pinole California

Quanah Parker Brightman, Lakota and son of Lehman Brightman, founder of United Native Americans, describes the harassment and false identification of him, and his friends, by police in Pinole,Calif. Across America, this type of out of control police action, illegal search and seizure, targeting of activists, and terrorizing of innocent people have led to tragedies, false arrests and murders of innocent people by police who are either out of control, fail to obtain the facts, or are targeting activists. -- Censored News

PINOLE, Calif -- (Aug. 17, 2017) Not Feeling too good after my friends and I were the victims of harassment by Pinole Police Department.
The Police detained us at gun point in handcuffs. The Police never read us our Miranda Rights. Searched us for Guns. The Police claimed that someone driving a white van pointed a gun at someone. Even though we were in my friend's garage and not driving. They also raided my friend's home illegally. They searched us for weapons and came up with nothing.

You can clearly hear a Pinole Police Officer order innocent people whom were filming the incident into their homes or face arrest.
Grateful for our Community who Video Recorded Pinole Police Department violating our Civil Rights.
Watch video below.
Quanah Parker Brightman is the son of Lehman Brightman, founder of United Native Americans, who recently passed to the Spirit World.

Oakland police execution of black youth video-taped

OAKLAND -- On Wednesday, January 7, 2009 thousands of people from Oakland and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area came to express their anger and pain at the execution of Oscar Grant, 22, of Hayward, by a BART police officer during the New Year holiday.
Several BART passengers video-taped BART cops holding Grant handcuffed and laying prone on his stomach on the platform at the Fruitvale BART station located in East Oakland. Each video clearly shows BART officer Johannes Mehserle removing his service pistol from his holster and shooting the young African-American male in his back. Immediately Grant's body went limp. BART Officer Johannes Mehserle then places the pistol back in his holster.
By midday of the protest, the video had been viewed by a half-million people on the Internet. Over 3,000 people attended the rally at the Fruitvale station from 3 pm to 7 pm. Numerous Civil and Human Rights frontline action groups such as United Native Americans, Inc., were present to show Community support and solidarity with the Grant family's untimely loss of their son Oscar. Oscar Grant was also lain to rest today with family and friends present at his funeral service.
In closing, our prayers from United Native Americans goes out to the Grant family and friends.
