New Orleans Police Officer Desmond Pratt's brutalized wife, Jonie & her mother-in-law, Dulcie Scott.Here we go again. Another story of police brutality but this story has a twist. The victim of this savage beating is non other than a police officers own wife but the story is even more twisted and sick because not only was the victim an officer's wife (and by the way her sister is a police officer too) but the savagetry came by the hands of fellow white police officers!
What?!? You heard me! This comes straight off the AP Newswire. File this one under another: Black Fist 'Round The Nation Special Report.
NOPD Faces New Brutality Claim After White Officers Beat Black Cops's Wife By Mary Foster, Associated Press Thursday April 6, 2006.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans' police department, its image already suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, is investigating new allegations of brutality: claims that three white officers beat up the wife of a black officer this week.
The probe comes less than a week after two former officers--both white--were indicted on felonies in the French Quarter beating of a black retired teacher, violence caught by an Associated Press news crew covering the storm's aftermath in October. Two FBI agents seen helping to restrain the man were cleared of wrongdoing Wednesday, the bureau said.
On Wednesday, Jonie Pratt had a black eye, a swollen forehead and a brace on her fractured left wrist. Pratt's mother-in-law, Dulcie Scott, said the injuries were inflicted after police pulled Pratt over, claiming she ran a stop sign.
Pratt is the wife of Desmond Pratt, a 10-year veteran of the police department, and sister of officer Nancy Parker, a three-year member of the force.
"It's my understanding that one of the officers spoke the word 'black' during the incident," said Lt. Simon Hargrove, president of the Black Organization of Police. "Why would a person do that if race wasn't involved?"
The police department said in a statement Wednesday that it is investigating and that the officers have been reassigned in the meantime. Their names were not released.
The local NAACP is calling for a federal investigation. "We have a problem with this kind of thing that went back before Katrina," said Danatus King, president of the New Orleans chapter.
The FBI said it is conducting a preliminary inquiry to determine whether the case warrants further investigations.
Pratt was charged with flight from an officer, battery, resisting arrest, running a stop sign and making an illegal turn.
The Pratt's refused to discuss the matter, but Scott said Pratt was returning from visiting her sick father in Baton Rouge early Tuesday when police said she ran a stop sign about two blocks from her house. The woman drove to her house in a middle-class area of the city before pulling over.
"I saw an officer pull Jonie out of her car by her hair," said Scott, who was baby-sitting her grandchildren at the couple's house. "He was swearing at her and pounding her into the car. I said, "Stop that, that's Officer Pratt's wife."
Scott said the officer twisted Pratt's arm behind her and sprayed her with mace in her face. She said that two more white officers arrived and that the three shoved the 5-foot-2 Pratt to the ground and knelt on her back, and an officer kicked her in the head.
The white officers refused to believe that Pratt, a schoolteacher on leave since Katrina, lived in the house she claimed was hers, Scott said. "It's a nice area, and I think they meant a black family wouldn't live there," Scott said.
Pratt was released from the handcuffs after several black officers showed up, Scott said. "It turned into this real black-white situation between police," Scott said. "All the white officers on one side, the black officers on the other."
In Katrina's aftermath, New Orleans police officers were accused of abandoning their post, stealing cars and looting stores.
--AP Story ends there--
Now a few thoughts from General Nikki X of The Black Fist:
What the F@#* is going on in New Orleans?!? White cops beating the hell outta fellow black cops' wife?!? An Elder black man (the retired schoolteacher who was beaten half to death in the French Quarter back in October 2005, as mentioned above) beaten half to death a couple of months ago by New Orleans pigs who claimed he was drunk and disorderly when the man proved he wasn't disorderly and proclaimed he hadn't had a drink in over 25 years with his family and friends all vouching to it! All caught on tape! Even the white news crew that filmed that savage beating were yelling while filming, "He didn't do anything, Hey man, he didn't even do anything!"
We hope & pray the Feds go to New Orleans ASAP and do a real investigation and bust some white police ass down there. Police Brutality is still running rampant throughout these United States of AmeriKKKa as it has in this city. White folks don't want to believe it's happening but are they suppose too? It's not happening to them or theirs. So black people need to stop worrying themselves sick over what the whiteman thinks and defend yourselves by any means necessary! We mean, on the real-- Self-Defense can and should be used on rouge, dogmatic, ungodly pigs whenever and wherever the life of the black man, the black woman & the black child is in jeopardy!!! Don't allow the whiteman to fool you black man/black woman. Shit, he uses "Self-defense" to protect & defend himself, his white woman and his white child. And let him even think about a pig raising up on him to enforce the law while he's under the influence of alcohol, meth, heroin, crack or coke...shiiitttt, it'll probably be the last time that particular pig raises up, Period!
Moral of the story: New Orleans Mayor, the blackman, Ray Nagan had better get his ass in gear and get some kind of control over his dogmatic police force while he's all over the place making heavy powerful statements that are all true then bitching up and getting scare when the whiteman says, "Boy we don't like you saying that!" Then he goes and apologizes for the comments he and every other "conscience black person on the planet know is the absolute truth! Get it together Ray, and get it together fast man!!!
The Black Fist Organization will continue to monitor this story and anything new we'll be bringing it straight to you. We wish Mrs. Jonie Pratt and her family all the best and a speedy recovery. Hoping she sues those damn pigs for millions upon millions of dollars along the way! It's due her.
We want to hear what you think about this story and Police Brutality in general. This is the fifth anniversary of the brutal murder by then Cincinnati police officer Stephen Roach of unarmed black teen Timothy Thomas. Roach, who didn't see a day in prison for that heinous murder is now a patrolling pig in the City of Evendale and The Black Fist wish him well in hell, the same hell he created for the family and friends of Bro. Tim Thomas when he shot him in the chest killing him in a dirty back alley in Over-The-Rhine on April 7, 2001!
This was another Black Fist "Round The Nation Special Report! Where we bring it to you the only way we know how, "Black Militant Style"! And remember here on The Black Fist Blog.....
IT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE GOOD NEWS BUT IT'S HOOD NEWS!!!
BLACK POWER!!!

Asshole Ray Nagin is gonna get voted out. You watch & see. He's the most incompetent nitwit this country has ever seen.

ReplyDeleteI know that the name Black Fist means much to you, although I do not pretend to know how much.
Might I humbly and respectfully suggest that using a different name might be in order?
If they want it that bad, let them have it. They run down and slander the Black Fist name every day with their shenanigans. No good can come from something that they want, it can only come to ruin.
You are worthy of more than fighting them for what it is not theirs, but yours; however that does not mean they will not continue to make a mockery of all you stand for.
I beg of you, dear, honorable sister, to please at least consider using a name other than Black Fist. I know that I am asking a huge concession of you, however I believe it may be for the greater good of all our people in this city that you wish to help.
Blessings to you, yours and your mission
A sister
Ya'll should change your name to the Red White & Blue Fist, 'cause ain't no way in the world you supposed to be spotlighting the wife of a Pig!!! This same pig: Det. Desmond Pratt is responsible for a brother Edward B. Allen sitting in jail for a crime he didn't commint, and right now this same pig is refusing to come to court and testify about this fake charge that Mr. Allen is sitting in
ReplyDeletejail on. So, now his colleagues have touched his wife, and "we" supposed to be upset. Hell no!! You
reap what you sow!!!
First off i would like to say may God continue to bless and keep you to be the strong black woman that you are.now as far as this n.o situation,i,m a native new orleanian myself and i can truthfully tell you there is a plantation style mentality down there among many blacks and whites.many racist white nopd officers have a long history of murdering and brutalizing blacks down there.It is widely and long known that the nopd has been judge,jury, and executioner against black people for a very long time.why does it continue to happen?It continue to happen because far too many blacks fear the nopd.backed up by the corrupt racist court system and the rotten coroner,s office,all those systems work together to make sure these murderers in uniform nearly all the time go free.just to name a few killer cop cases are the algiers murders during the 80,s,the adolph archie murder during the 90,s and while all this was going on the black nopd officers punked out and did nothing to help their people.often times these cowardly coon cops within the ranks of the black officers were participants in abusing their own people at the behest of their racist white nopd officers.their racism is so bold that not even the cowardly coon cops who kiss up to them are safe from their wrath as evidenced by the brutal handling and handcuffing of a black cops wife.oh yeah crime is bad down there but these so called gangsters know who to be gangster against.they are not going around the white folks like talking about it with that foolishness and these coward ass gangsters are sure not going to challenge the white nopd officers.no rather than go to the root causes of the problems within the black community most take the coward way out and victimize one another because the black criminals know they can do dirt to the black community and get away with it time and time again.quiet as it kept many blacks were leaving n.o long before katrina struck because they were unhappy with all deep rooted corruption,racism etc. that permeated every facet of neworleans life.It is no accident that over 100,000 people still have not returned to n.o.many say that they will never come back because they know it is still rotten down there.there,s elements of rotteness in the u.s judicial system as a whole.It tells us that it cares about the safety and wellbeing of all it,s citizens with lip service and on paper but the poor,the blacks and other minorities know from many previous experiences far too often that is not reality for us because their mouths and paper work say one thing and their actions say they don,t give a damn.this type of evil is even pronounced in new orleans.in conclusion i would like to say until black people down there truly become sick and tired of being sick and tired of being victimized,stay tune for more of the same.black men in particular need to stand up and be real men and defend themselves,their women,love ones etc.by whatever means necessary.kick out the coward mentality and have one another backs.kick out the Uncle Negroes,and rise up against the racist elements within the city and the nopd and the stupid ass coon cops within the ranks of the black officers.there,s good and bad in all races.I feel all not all white people are down with racist crap that,s going on in this country especially in new orleans.with that said let,s develop a strong grass roots effort that cuts across all racial,ethnic,economic and class status and become a 'sea'of people of all colors whose common goal is to right the wrongs in this country and make peace,justice,liberty and the pursuit of happiness a reality in this country for all it,s citizen regardless of race,creed or color.white folks of the 'John Brown school of thought especially welcome.
ReplyDeleteFollowing is a link to the 8/14/2011 Sunday Journal WYLD discussion in which Dr. Firpo Carr is interviewed by Mr. Hal Clark regarding Sgt. Gerard Dugué's innocence regarding the Danziger Bridge murders and why the case against Sgt. Dugué must be dismissed.
ReplyDeleteFollowing is a link to this week's "Dugué Defense Part 6." Dr. Firpo Carr develops the theme, "Innocence Held in Abeyance." Dr. Carr continues to expose the Justice Department's sham case against Sgt. Gerard Dugué. It is quite evident that they recognize the public is aware of Sgt. Dugué's innocence regarding the bogus charges which must be dismissed.
