Appeals Court Denies New York City’s Motion to Annul Landmark Stop and Frisk Ruling
On Friday (Nov. 22, 2013), an appellate panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied the City of New York’s request to vacate District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin’s ruling in the class action lawsuit Floyd v. the City of New York. The Center for Constitutional Rights made the following statement in response:
“Following the appellate panel’s shocking decision to remove the district court judge from our case, the City sought to double down and ask that the entirety of the judge’s decision be vacated without further briefing on its merits.
The appellate panel has correctly rejected this request and will allow full briefing on the appeal to move forward as scheduled.
We hope Mayor De Blasio will drop the City’s desperate appeal to undo the district court’s carefully considered ruling and work with plaintiffs and the community to enforce every aspect of the remedial order. He has an extraordinary opportunity to use the expertise of a court monitor and policing experts to end discriminatory policing in NYC."

Black Teen Murdered While Seeking Help After A Car Accident - Was Shot Through A Locked Screen Door
19-Year-Old Died Nov. 2 After Being Shot in the Face - Killer charged with murder and possession of a firearm. Which raises the question: If killer's firearm possession was illegal, why wasn't he arrested on the spot?
A suburban Detroit homeowner who shot a woman on his porch in the middle of the night was charged Friday with second-degree murder in connection with the case, Wayne County prosecutors said.
Theodore P. Wafer, 54, of Dearborn Heights, Mich., also is facing charges of manslaughter and possession of a firearm... Authorities saw no evidence of forced entry on Wafer's home. Renisha McBride allegedly was shot after knocking on the locked front screen door. Evidence suggests that Wafer opened the front door before he fired through the closed and locked screen door, she said.

Murder and Manslaughter Charges for Man Who Shot Teen Seeking Help After Car Accident
Killer Claimed His Gun Went Off by Accident, His Lawyer Later Said the Killing was "Justified"
By Ronald Jackson
Theodore Wafer will be charged with murder and manslaughter, according to Wayne County Prosecutor Kim Worthy. The 54-year-old Wafer shot dead 19-year-old Renisha McBride in the early morning hours of Nov 2, when she knocked on his door seeking help after a car accident. The incident took place in Dearborn Heights, MI.
Wafer told police he thought Ms. McBride was trying to break into his house and his gun discharged by accident, hitting McBride in the face with a shotgun blast. However, his lawyer later claimed that the killing was "justified."
Wafer was not arrested after the killing. There has been a national outcry over the incident because Wafer had not been arrested, charged, or even named by the police or prosecutor's office until today.
Some have argued that if the shooter had been black and the victim white, the shooter would have been arrested and charged immediately. Wafer is expected to turn himself in Friday afternoon.

US Police Have Killed Over 5,000 Civilians Since 9/11
“A big majority of those killed are Latinos and Black people,” while the police officers are mostly White, says Mike Prysner, one of the local directors of the Los Angeles chapter for ANSWER — an advocacy group that asks the public to Act Now to Stop War and End Racism. “It’s a badge of honor to shoot gang members so [the police] go out and shoot people who look like gang members,” Prysner argued, giving the example of 34-year-old Rigoberto Arceo, who was killed by police on May 11.
