Despite this, and the "Sensory Inclusive™" training certification SLCPD pursued after the incident, @slcpd continue to attack and kill folks with mental health issues as they did 5 months ago with Cameron Cloward.
No amount of crocodile tears from mayors and cops, or little puzzle pins on police lapels, will stop them continuing to brutalize our communities.

The medical examiner's autopsy report did find a number of drugs in Mr.Garcia's system, but went out of its way to point out that the actions of law enforcement may have contributed to Mr. Garcia's death.
As is almost always the case, Salt Lake County DA Sim Gill declined to file charges against the officers.

Fifty three (53) seconds after handcuffing Mr. Garcia, Officer Collins said over his radio that Mr. Garcia appeared to be seizing and choking. The officers eventually removed the handcuffs and started CPR, which medics from the Fire Department took over and performed for over twenty minutes.
Mr. Garcia was pronounced dead at 2:23 AM.

Officers have also attempted to intimidate Jovany's familty by increasing their presence in the neighborhood, suddenly manning crosswalks and "doing paperwork" in their squad cars parked in-front of the Mercado home.

Hours later, around 1 am, Detective Trent Fusselman obtained an Illegal, falsified search warrant without probable cause to enter the home, and officers acting under that warrant illegally forced themselves inside. Once there, officers illegally obtained the home security video of the night of the shooting as evidence.

As usual, Salt Lake County DA Sim Gill determined Officer Cruz's use of force was "justified" and Cruz's career has gone on largely unaffected by this. Cruz is now a Sergeant and in 2023 his compensation was $185,357.37

This is an obvious result of our de-humanization of homeless folk, the infinite impunity given to pigs, and policies pushed by "electeds".

In the same press conference Gill talked about how "this shooting did not need to happen" and attempted to wash his hands of the killing while legally shielding Officer Jaroscak.

Less than a month ago SLCPD shot an unarmed, and completely non-aggressive, man after being called in by Utah Highway Patrol for help.
Despite Bobby Caster's cries that they "blew my hand off" they keep demanding to see his hands.

SLCPD officer Paul Mullenax explaining that Chief Brown and "the city" (SLC Council & Mayor Mendenhall) have put Liberty Park under some type of enhanced punishment status. This is arbitrary and dangerous to homeless folk especially given the recent heat.
Also important to keep in mind: These cops will displace you with as little remorse as they displace these folks.

For all of SLCPD's claims of being the "best" agency in the state they sure do hire a lot of killers.
We have reason to believe that SLCPD recently hired Christopher Freestone who killed Jeremy Atkin back in 2019 when he was an officer with South Ogden PD.

Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall is "doing the rounds" going to various community councils.
On June 5th she went to the Sugar House Community Council meeting and was questioned about why she has continuously raised the Salt Lake City Police Department's budget instead of putting resources towards things that actually help people.

Thanks to a lot of help from the community we are quite certain that the officers involved were SLCPD Officers Michael Buchman and Joel Matteau

Thanks to folk here we now know the attack happened in the parking lot of the 7-11 @ 309 E 400 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84111 and the video was facing south. Thanks!
Still working on when it happened.

Also on this day a mere 2 months ago, on March 17th 2024, Taylorsville PD shot and killed Foueti Afeaki. Multiple officers fired on Mr. Afeaki after claiming he 'produced a weapon', a claim they commonly make after aggressively escalating situations.

Upon arriving, Dalton Beebe (V28) and his partner immediately sprinted at Brandon, slamming him face down into hot gravel and holding him there. Brandon would be dead within 6 minutes. Throughout the incident a bunch of cops came and bumbled around the scene, Yaier Javaid (V30) was among them.

Its "national police week" 🤮 and Salt Lake City PD is doing a coffee with cops event tomorrow.
These events are great place to do a relatively low-risk copwatch, though being near cops is obviously never safe. Its also a great way to get some information on them, like names & badge numbers, and ruin their day.

These 'leaders' have no ideas, or intentions, of building a future that isn't rife with police violence. Over the next year SLCPD WILL kill more community members, and when they do we must remember that these politicians MADE THAT HAPPEN. Don't fall for their crocodile tears...

Thanks in large part to community-provided data we have been able to identify 54(!) cops involved in the brutal assault at the University of Utah on 4/29 & 4/30
This data will follow those 54 pigs. Wherever they go, and whatever they try to do, the community is now armed with the knowledge that they are willing to assault students.
Thanks for all the help!

Check out this video featuring Javier Chavez (D45) with the University of Utah PD.
Chavez is known for assaulting students and hiding his badge number.
We highlight him today to remind us that identity does not guarantee solidarity. This pig is a traitor and an enemy to the work necessary to dismantle oppression.

Sorry for the beg-post but we need funding...
CopDB is run 100% on donations and currently we get ~$75/month but the project costs ~$240/month to run. If you can spare even $1/month please help us keep running so we can keep tabs on these pigs!
Any recurring monthly donation means we'll mail you stickers! 😅
You can donate from the blog (https://copdb.org) or directly here: https://donorbox.org/help-fund-copdb?default_interval=m

If you want to see liberal 'accountability' look no further than the Utah Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST) council.
Their supposed purpose is to "strengthen faith and confidence in law enforcement for the citizens of Utah, by providing objective and consistent investigations of complaints or allegations of misconduct against peace officers"

We have completed our initial investigation into the K9 videos released by SLCPD and SLC Mayor Erin Mendenhall in October 2020.
A short write-up with links to all of the incidents is available below in both Spanish and English.
These incidents are quite disturbing, but they contain information vital to continued resistance against SLCPD. We cannot accept these monsters' pseudo-accountability.

@npub15th…6nvx One of the goals of the project is to offer a way for communities to keep tabs on their local killers (cops) which is valuable data for community defense.
All cops are bastards, and we want to know as much about them and what they've done as possible...

Tomorrow (1-23-2024) we will be releasing our investigation into the K9 bodycam footage released by SLCPD and mayor Erin Mendenhall in October 2020.
While these videos are old, there has been a lack of public information about which officers were involved and almost none of them have been held accountable.
The community will not allow these cops to continue to terrorize us, with or without K9s!

@npub15th…6nvx We believe an effective way to help deal with these killer cops is to name them, and more importantly, to organize against them locally!
Policing is obviously a national, hell international, issue, but fighting against your local department can be extremely effective. Being part of a local abolitionist struggle is also a great context for us to imagine a world without police.
