Danville, Va Police Officers do a no knock warrant under no exigent circumstances in Virginia! (Video included)

Another disgraceful act of untrained officers of the Danville, Va Police Department Street Crimes Unit! Looking for drugs and find CDs! All this commando stuff and breaking everyone civil rights in the process and taking money.... Just a bunch of dirty cops and all caught on tape! They didnt even announce themselves as police and have warrant before opening a closed door. This case brings back reminders of Ryan Frederick, a man convicted of murdering a cop, when cops enter his home at night to execute a search warrant without announcing themselves. The case was pivotal of showing the dangers of police raids. Also, no drugs was recovered and a cop lost his life. Watch the video of a separate raid by Danville, Va Police Department officers and look at a untrained group of officers do their job wrecklessly. Also, you will see the alleged tampering with evidence, where money is taken from one place and put into another. The officer video editor basically took out the parts that the cops feared would be caught while putting in its own version of time and events. Watch the numerous video and shot changes in this video.

Danville, Va Public Schools has more problems than just O.T Bonner! Merle T. Rutledge Jr visits Woodberry Hills Middle School! (Bullying Report by teachers and students)

Danville, Va Public Schools has more problems than just O.T Bonner! February 21, 2014 by merletrutledge | Edit “Danville, Va Public Schools has more problems than just O.T Bonner!” Today, Merle Rutledge went to Woodberry Hills Middle School in Danville, Va I was there to address issue about teachers being aware of issues with students and allowing the problems to continue in the classroom. I was there with a parent which invited me to the meeting to see what is going on! Her child had recently been suspended for a fight, in which before the fight, he had told two adults/teachers that a issue was brewing with another child. The result was a fight because of their custom to ignore a problem reports, and allowed a situation to spiral out of control. I met with Assistant Principal Woody and the child and the parent to see the school’s position on the issue. I was shocked to hear a principal state that the fight would have never happen if there was never a punch thrown. My rebuttal was a fight would have never happen if the teacher would have done her job and resolved the matter. What educators must realize a fight can happen at anytime and there may not be enough time to go to the principal office to tell him what is going. A fight doesn’t give out a exact time when it is going to happen, but once you are warned by a student that a fight is about to happen, than immediate action should be taken to resolve the matter. Jails are built because our children are taught to fight, but forget the legitimate reasons for doing so! It appears that the schools has the children come second policy custom while putting teachers that lack proper training, supervision, and oversight allow things to spiral out of control instead of being preventive. Three kids are out of school because of 2 adults that did not take action or responsibility. To go along with the meeting, I was told about the complaints the teachers made about the student, but none of the complaints the student filed against the teachers was in the file The reason is the policy is to allow teachers to give out there side of their story in writing while not leaving a section on the same paper for the student to respond to why something happen, preventing decision makers from properly and fully investigating the incidents that are reported. When you get a warning at a job, you are giving a comments area to give your side of the story before signing the form and a disclaimer that states you do not admit fault because you signed the warning. It just means that you know a complaint has been filed and it is your turn to tell your side of the story. After the meeting, I went to the Danville, Va School Board to talk to their personnel. They heard the child story and acourse the details of our meeting and the administration feel a review is needed and it was hard for them to understand that after a teacher was notify of a problem, that they failed to act and was shocked that the principal was blaming everything on the child. I was the only one that was not shocked because it happens all the time and not just at O.T Bonner. So, I came up with these recommendations. 1) Parents and a child should all have a copy of the Student Code of Conduct and know how to appeal a wronged done by the schools in a timely manner. 2) The policy of protect teacher first than the child needs to change. 3) A zero policy for teachers that are reported problems that deal with safety and a disruption to the educational environment to decision makers at the school to include principal, guidance counselor, and parent. 4) If the schools are aware of a child and parent that have disclose information on the child medical or mental status than immediate priority should be made to remove the child or the issue immediately and to send the issue to those qualified to resolve the matter responsibly or sanction and discipline the teacher for failure of due diligence to report the problem, should be promptly discipline. 5) A independent review board that reviews disciplinary problems with students and teacher for schools that are already being labeled by the state and local oversight for failure to train, discipline, and have proper oversight of the particular school. Until proper mechanisms are put in place to correct the defects in the system. 6) A policy that all written complaints made by students against teachers are put in a file and not left at the discretion of the teacher and also a personnel to accept all complaints instead of leaving it at the discretion of the teachers. 7) A self defense policy which immune students from disciplinary issues by notifying staff of a problem and if problem continues without any corrective action than altercations that happens should not penalize the student that notified decision makers and adults in the school. 8) Mandatory reporting by email, phone, or letter to parents when any disciplinary issue occurs because even though its not reported by policy because of the level of offense by the child to the parents. The disciplinary report is still kept in your child file and sometimes the first time parents know that their child has been having issues in school is when they are notified to be there with their child after a suspension. This is a complete denial of due process and keeping parents not informed about the environment that our children are learning in. 8) Make sure parents and children are aware that a suspension is not final and they have a right to a review / appeal with the Danville, Va School Board. The child should have a fair and impartial hearing in which both parties have the right to speak freely and express their defense to disciplinary problems. In conclusion, 3 students are at home and not in a classroom because of the teachers at this school decision making skills. The schools needs a complete overhaul on policy and decision making skills when it comes down to student and adult interaction. When the teachers are no longer the first line of defense to prevent problems than they become sole barriers of injustice for students and school administration officials whom are trying to improve the education in the population that it effects demographically. I was shocked and alarmed at the meeting and how a adult school decision maker handled resolving problems that is a educator and decision maker at the school. It shows clearly why the schools are out of control and it is about time we start putting in place methods to bring a environment to learn back to our schools.

Pittsylvania County/Danville, Va Public School Bus Drivers allegedly out of control!

Pittsylvania County/Danville, Va Public School Bus Drivers allegedly out of control! February 23, 2014 by merletrutledge | Edit It has been reported to me, that a Pittsyvania County (White) Bus Driver allegedly attacks Chatham, Va Elementary student and destroys the video surveillance box that holds footage of all activities on the school bus. A investigation by the Pittsylvania County Schools is pending and the bus driver is allegedly has yet to be arrested. I am asking whether the bus driver has been fired and what changes are being made to public policy to address and correct this issue. It is disturbing that any grown up would put their hands on someone else child in a supervisory position of trust. I am aware that this youth also has previous conduct issues that are questionable by some of those whom I spoke to about this child. However, it does not excuse the conduct that I am hearing about. I hope all local leaders are active in getting answers and criminal charges should be addressed about this issue to all those involved and anyone that tried to cover up the issue I am also concerned about bus drivers in Danville, Va City Schools not waiting for youth to be seated and pulling off. This is a dangerous practice and goes against Virginia public policy. I believe sovereign immunity does not cover bus drivers. The incident has been reported to me by Woodside Apartment residences and I hope it is addressed in a very timely fashion. Merle Rutledge Jr Chatham, Va

Civil Rights Activist Merle Rutledge detained by Danville, Va Police Department for reporting mold to state and local officials!

Civil Rights Activist Merle Rutledge detained by Danville, Va Police Department for reporting mold to state and local officials! March 23, 2014 by merletrutledge | Edit Merle Rutledge Jr was detained today for reporting mold at Woodside Apartment complex by 10 of Danville, Va Police Department finest! Claim Notice for Merle Rutledge Jr detained and banned for reporting mold at Woodside Apartments in Danville, Va with the help of Danville, VA police Add star MERLE RUTLEDGE Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 5:02 PM To: Suzanne Claxton , “Whitfield, Clarke” , DanvillePD Bcc: Justin Ward , Jessica Robinson , news , news , news , newsroom , news , news , news12 Reply | Reply to all | Forward | Print | Delete | Show original Merle Rutledge Jr vs. City of Danville, Va 7 John Doe Officer including Hairston, Limpkins, and Supervisor and Today 3/20/2014, I visited the Woodside Apartments to see John Doe tenant and will address whom at the appropriate time at about 2:30 to 3:30. Officers entered John Doe Jessica apartment without consent with the assistance of the landlord name Chrissie to retrieve and seize Merle Rutledge Jr without a search or arrest warrant. The officers informed Mr. Rutledge that he was on the ban list and was to come with them to the office. Merle Rutledge Jr was never on any ban list and never been served any prior notice and this was a direct invasion of my privacy. Merle Rutledge was not involved or about to be involved in any criminal activity. Merle Rutledge was detained and taken straight to the Woodside Apartment rental office. As a result Merle Rutledge Jr requested to be free to leave. The officers did not answer and stated I had to stay until I was served with ban notice papers by the apartment complex. They remained silent on the question for at least 10 minutes so when I was about to get up and leave. Chrissy, the landlord, blocked my path and than I ask the officers to have a supervisor come because I was in fear of offensive contact. Merle Rutledge was under durress and was under false imprisonment by the hands of the Danville, Va police department and the management Chrissy at the apartment complex in a building that Merle Rutledge had to be escorted into to remain. Chrissy laughed when I brought up that she was retaliating against me when I stated that Suzanne Claxton, whom is her supervisor and also works for the parent company of the apartment complex when I told her that she had to told me to address all complaints or issues directly to her that may be of my concern. At no time did she state that I was banned from the apartment complex. Chrissy stated to the officers that I was on the ban list and she had numerous complaints from tenants. When I asked her to show me or the officers, she said it was for privacy concerns. I ask the police officers had I commited any crime and repeated whether I was free to leave. The officers remained silent and stated that I was being detained until the paper work got there. The supervisor showed up about 20 to 30 minutes later. He asked me what was going on and I explained to him what had happen that the officers illegally entered the residence that I was invited to go to based off information and assistance from the landlord which is highly illegal. I told him this was retaliation for reporting mold in the apartments which can be a danger to guests as well as tenants. Chrissy was out of control. The supervisor asked Chrissy directly did she notify Mr. Rutledge independently that I was banned. She first say yes and when officers in the room looked at her than she said no. I do have this encounter recorded and the officers notified me that they was recording also. This was direct retaliation with the assistance of the Danville, Va police department. She also wrote on the ban document the reason was because i was at the apartment complex without a tenant which was false and I would like for her to be arrested for making a false report in the presense of police officers and that tenants complained about me. She has no proof of any complaints file or that I did anything criminal at the apartment complex. This was defamation per se in front of sworn police officers and video from the premises will prove that I was there with a tenant with permission. Also a police officer wrote on the ban document my name which was not part of his job while on duty. I never presented any threat to the officers or the residential management and was only polite and asserted my rights. The apartment complex has a policy that it has hired the Danville, Va Police Department, so their actions was under color of the law and of the apartment complex. I have address complaints about mold in these apartments and this was no need to have this type of side show because I am Merle Rutledge Jr. I feel very sorry for the officers that was involved in this mess but they still owed a duty to act in a reasonable and competent manner. They was polite but these mistakes have to be corrected. Claims Against the City of Danville, Va and the Woodside Apartment Complex 1. Defamation per se by Chrissy and the Woodside Apartments in Danville, Va for making statements known to be false that could have put Mr. Rutledge in jail. Documentation from the ban paper work proves this assertion. I ask for $ 100,000 because under the respondeant superior theory than I can recover for the wrongful acts of employees against their employer. 2. Unlawful search and seizure by the DAnville, Va Police Department officers by walking into a place without permission with the landlord to retrieve Merle Rutledge without a arrest or search warrant or any kind of cause to detain Mr. Rutledge and assert control over his freedom or movement. 3 officers entered without permission into the premises and unlawfully detain Merle Rutledge for a unnecessary amout of time. A direct violation of Mr. Rutledge 4th and 14th Amendment rights to be free from unreasonable search and seizures. Danville, Va Police Department had no reason to be involved in this matter unless Merle Rutledge refused to leave upon request and notice. I ask for 100,000 in relief. 3. I would like Chrissy to be arrested for making a false report to Danville, Va Police Department officers over the 911 call, dispatch call, and in documentation that she knew to be untrue and it was proven in front of the police officers that I had never been notified of any ban. This includes Defamation per se This is a claim notice and I ask for damages and a declaration that the Danville, Va Police Department violated my civil rights. I want a full and lengthy investigation and I ask that this matter and all the information requested is brought to the March 24, 2014 meeting.

National Action Network opens up investigation of Lennox Abrigo lawyer referral scandal! March 31, 2014 by merletrutledge | Edit After days of e-mails and correspondence in regards to a April 3rd and 4th, 2014 Rally in Danville, Va with a controversial scandal of one of its guest speakers National Civil Rights Activist Lennox Abrigo surfacing to media outlets.. The National Action Network has open up a fierce investigation of Lennox Abrigo. It is alleged by Merle Rutledge Jr and Tarameka Thompson that Lennox Abrigo obtain funds by false pretenses in a pay for lawyer referral scam. Lennox Abrigo would demand money on behalf of the National Action Network of $500 or more to help find people lawyers. The National Action Network has stated that they never accept any money based off this allegation and has open up a investigation after complaints surface for people asking for their money back for a failure for Lennox Abrigo to return money as promised. At this time, multiple police departments was informed by Merle Rutledge Jr of the scam and Tarameka Thompson has been fully in the process to get her funds back as well as others that may have been harmed by Lennox Abrigo scandal. Lennox Abrigo is currently the Washington D.C National Action Network President and has been a civil rights activist for numerous years. Mount Sinai Church of God in Christ of Danville, Va Pastor Linden, the church in which the Community Awareness rally is to be held, received documentation on Sunday in regards to the allegations and is taking the matter seriously. The scandal is shocking and keep up with my blog for more details as it comes forward. Also, Virginia Senator Donald E. Meachin has also release statements publically that he never stated that he was coming to this rally and to remove his name, image, and likeness from those that are organizing this event! Reverend Toon of the National Action Network, stated that the National Action Network is a non profit organization and if anyone requests money other than a donation for services than this should be a red flag and to contact his organization immediately! Reverend Toon, of the National Action Network, is reported to told victims of the scandal to relay a message to Merle Rutledge to not go to the media. Merle Rutledge Jr, National Civil Rights Activist, released a statement, “This is not a allegation, there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Lennox Abrigo is a con-artist! The police are fully aware and to ask for me to back off, says a lot about your good faith towards a resolution of getting the victims back their money! What is more concerning to me, Abrigo asked the victim Nikki Thompson to put up false information to further conceal his scam and to paint me in a false light. The truth speeks for itsle and the actions of Reverend Toon will be handled with the appropriate authorities.

Merle Rutledge defends Mimi Faust and her bf on doing sex tape on U.S First Amendment grounds! April 17, 2014 by merletrutledge | Edit Mimi Faust, Nikko Smith Sex Tape Is A Major Merle Rutledge responds to their critics. I love the U.S First Amendment and everything it stands for. The people who have no right to talk are the millions that have made sex tapes, those that watch this reality show, those that gave Kim Kardashian millions for herself and family. Sex has always been big business. If someone tells you that they ne…ver watch a xxx film is lying their ass off. You can lie to the kids but everytime you have sex than you are doing exactly what they are doing, but it may or may not be private. Just because they are comfortable with their bodies and do not mind giving up their privacy than that is there business and consequence. If they willing to take the heat than they are doing bethan most of the cowards that I know. I support freedom of speech which includes erotic legal media. How the hell do people think they got in this world. The people criticizing them for being a role model to their children, won’t even defend their children with the school board. You can spend a hour watching mimi t.v show, but won’t spend a hour to cook or make sure they are doing their homework. So who in the hell are you to judge! “Sex!” so hate yourself if you want to! I had someone the other day talk about why do I support adult industry. I tell you straight, watching them is better than listening to a lot of problems. I tell you I would support them making a sex tape because at least I know they are going to see the fight through than some of the cowards that won’t even fight for their kids in schools. I have cursed people out and gotten them straight because I do not give a damn about someone giving me pain over pleasure. I love sex and I will continue to do so, support it, and fight for people rights that are willing to step up or you can step out!

Ask for you to endorse legislation that criminalizes strangers taken minors without the parent’s knowledge or consent in the Commonwealth of Virginia

Breaking News: The police allegedly tells a Danville, Va woman T. .A that a stranger can take their child somewhere without the parents consent. Do you believe a child under the age of 13 has the right to consent to anywhere with a stranger (alone in their vehicle) without the parents permission and how would you feel? The parent that was a victim name is T.A can be reached at Tijuana Abdirahman Danville, Va 24541. Her contact number is (434)*#*-#*#42, T.A asserted she tried to get a restraining order and warrant for abduction and the police said no law was broken, even though the parent was unaware of the child being taken by a stranger without her permission. V.H, accused adult that took child without parent’s knowledge or consent, is being accused of taking the African American child out for ice cream in order to get info in regards to the child’s family life. There has been tension in the neighborhood with the woman V.H (white) and Ms. T. A’s family in which she accuses her kids of being drug dealers and her daughter being pregnant. She lives in a predominately all white neighborhood. The T.A woman has even tried to take out a warrant on the 10 year old son for obtaining money under false pretenses. T.A family considers this another method of harrassing an African American family in the neighborhood.

Also the Danville, Va Commonwealth Attorney told the parents of the boy allegedly that its his discretion and refuses to prosecute the case. The Danville magistrate allegedly also told the parents that it was not enough evidence to bring charges. The FBI warns parents and children to not take candy or financial offers from adult strangers as this could be a sign of luring a child into criminal control, such as pedophiles. Merle Rutledge has contacted the local legislatures, Virginia Senators, Virginia Governor’s office and other state public safety department to try to put legislation through the general assembly to punish and criminalize adults that take children without their parent permission and to criminalize those that do not make an attempt to let the parent know as soon as possible, the reason for taking the child and the purpose in which the child was brought back to to them in their custody. The adult stranger should immediately contact the police department and make a mandatory report under such circumstances, in order to decrease any exploitation or criminal intention in regards to the adult, if the situation is based off an emergency decree.

Most children are abused by someone they know and trust. Pedophiles exploit these relationships and are experts at taking advantage of normal tensions between teenagers and parents as well as youngsters who face issues at home like divorce, substance abuse or neglect.

Danville Register and Bee is being accused of yellow journalism when it comes down to the City of Danville, Va local government!

Danville Register and Bee newspaper is accused of yellow journalism and sensationalism when it comes down to City of Danville, Va and its police officers. As those on my facebook page or is privilege to hear me on television know their is a on-going civil rights case being fought in federal court against the City of Danville, Va. Michael Elder filed suit last year to address his false arrest, illegal search, excessive force complaint, and refusal to provide medical care against the City and its police officer E.K. Thompson. The Danville Register and Bee would report only that the City of Danville would be dismissed, but made no mention of officer E.K Thompson being accused and being a party to the lawsuit. He accuses them of sensationalism which reporting about generally insignificant matters and events that don’t influence overall society and biased presentations of newsworthy topics in a trivial or tabloid manner.[ Elder states, “It’s obvious they don’t won’t the facts of this case to get out. The truth needs to be heard & the news paper has continuously refused my attempts to tell my story. It’s my opinion they know if the truth gets out the police aren’t going to look good in the end but don’t worry I tape my conversations over the last 2yrs & the truths going to be heard on cross exam on 5-22-2014. The truth will come to the light..” However in Rutledge vs. Town of Chatham, Va which was filed in the same court. The same newspaper would report the parties dismissed and include the fact that the lawsuit was allowed to proceed against Officer Roach in 2010. Also, during the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisor lawsuit there would be wide spread coverage of every hearing which included the trial. Moreover, it appears that the Michael Elder case is not being covered because of the newspaper inability to write anything negative about the City of Danville, Va and its employee but will play tough any other local government in their coverage area. Moreover, Michael Elder claims are becoming well-founded as he scolded Robert Benson, lead editor for the Danville Register and Bee, for lack of reporting his trial against the City’s police department today on facebook. It appears that the Danville, Va Register and Bee will only write articles against any other local government but the City of Danville which may put them in a negative light. Danville, Va Register and Bee is known for attacking and trying to discredit black leadership. However, the most important people know the truth and consider the Danville Register and Bee newspaper another method of racism, discrimination, and suppression of black news and accomplishments. Louis Farrakhan stated to the black community and to its leadership to beware of the spin doctors in the media, they can make Jesus appear to be a tyrant. Thank you Michael Elder for staying on top of these puppet masters. Reporting, Merle T Rutledge Jr News

Can the NAACP tolerate discrimination based off its donors?

Merle Rutledge new question for the NAACP. Can I send you money for the right to discriminate against blacks and Hispanics, because the history of Sterling, LA CLIPPERS RACIST OWNER, should have called for action a long time ago, based off the article that I am reading below. Let me stress my second point, Pittsylvania County ex Commonwealth Attorney David Grimes was given an NAACP award and didn’t even show up for the ceremony, based off donations he gave to the local branch. He also knowingly allowed by failure to prosecute for a local Chatham, Va police department and its officers committing families while prosecuting them, to get away with giving out tickets, fines, and arrest outside of their jurisdiction and on the tax payer dime of the Commonwealth of Virginia. He left office in disgrace. Mr. Grimes has a huge success rate of locking up African Americans and Hispanic men and women that evidence has been seriously questionable, but has had the privilege of predominately white juries. Also, Sterling’s award from the NAACP in 2009 came just before he agreed to pay a $2.765 million settlement in a case that alleged he discriminated against African Americans, Latinos and others at apartment buildings he owned in Los Angeles County.
