WCCO 4 (CBS) Television fails in journalistic integrity with “edited and spliced” tape of the Minneapolis Police Beating of Ira Stafford…rating F-
People that like honest and factual reporting can watch the full un-edited squad car video of the Minneapolis Police beating of Ira Stafford on Sunday, March 7, 2010 on the Black Focus Show hosted by Ron Edwards on channel 17 (Minneapolis Television Network) at 5 p.m. – this broadcast of the real tape will prove that WCCO 4 is nothing more than a self-masturbating, fluff station that obstructs viewers from factual data when it comes to the Black community. CBS needs to change the content manager at the station (and a few reporters).
Minneapolis (IBNN)…At 4: 22 a.m. on August 14, 2009 Ira Stafford, a resident of north Minneapolis was stopped by Minneapolis Police Officers on Lowry and Bryant north for his brake lights not working. (On 10/08/09 charges against Mr. Stafford were dismissed.)
Squad 425’s camera show’s a different account of what happened to Mr. Stafford then what WCCO channel 4 showed to its viewers at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, March 3, 2010.
WCCO has posted their version on the WCCO.com website titled, “Mpls. Police Officials Investigate Traffic Arrest,” as reported by Caroline Lowe. We want to remind readers that this is the same reporter who was given “leaked” information about the Minneapolis police overtime controversy who squashed any public reporting of the heinous administrative practices of the MPD.
The fact is, WCCO 4 downplayed what really happen on the night of August 14, 2010. The video that will be played Sunday on Black Focus from squad car 425 shows that Mr. Stafford’s taillights and brake lights clearly were in working order. The tape will also show a Black man who was beaten, tasered and yelled, “Why are all you White police man beating me,” – and answered, “There’s a Hmong officer here too!”
WCCO Channel 4, a CBS wholly owned station continues show only parts of the story. By “downplaying” and obstructing factual data to its viewers WCCO 4 again has been rated by African-Americans (and Friends) Against Mainstream Media F- on reporting in and about the Black community and its continued effort to address police brutality to include the murders of Quincy Smith and Fong Lee.
WCCO 4 Television makes it easy for news items in the Black community are stuffed under a rug without any fairness in reporting or journalistic integrity. I guess that’s why they make the big bucks… Read more
Minneapolis’ Star Tribune newspaper’s bias reporting causes defamatory speculation at Internet marketing firm (Updated)
On Tuesday, February 23, 2010 the Minnesota Division of the FBI and Secret Service raided the offices of iNetGlobal, located at 250 Second Avenue South in Minneapolis.
In an official statement released by iNetGlobal – (the Star Tribune never bothered to run), the company says:
On Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - U.S. Federal Agents arrived with a warrant to search the Minneapolis offices of iNetGlobal™ looking for something to substantiate their claim that illegal activity was occurring in the business.
iNetGlobal™ provides a number of essential internet tools and services for the small and home based business market.

We would like to thank all of our Members and Customers for their support and well wishes in this trying time.
Thank you – iNetGlobal
The Minneapolis’ Star Tribune’s report on iNetGlobal was misleading, incorrect and lacked real information about iNetGlobal and the reason the Federal Government can only “suspect” a Ponzi scheme. Since the first posting of this story, KARE 11, KSTP 5 and a handful of bloggers and online media outlets have picked up on the tainted one-sided story that the Strib delivered to their wavering readership.
Remember, in the United States, the American people in business have no protection over the federal governments investigative branch. Without absolute facts American businesses are at the whim of federal agencies which can freeze bank accounts, take computers and close offices with nothing more than an allegation.
The land of the free and home of the brave is now being ruled with Communist, Gestapo tactics.
The United States government would never go into a non-profit, human service agency that had received millions of dollars in federal money to address a disparity in an under-served community that posted no results, but denies, obstructs and freezes assets from businesses on a daily basis without proof of guilt with a “wild, wild west” mentality.
On Tuesday, February 23rd, Star Tribune reporter Jim Walsh, wrote, “Federal agents raided a Minneapolis business owned by local musician Steve Renner Tuesday morning in what authorities are ‘calling’ a suspected Ponzi scheme. The secret service said it would not divulge any other details at this time.”
The Star Tribune has not seen a copy of the search warrant; nor did they have relevant details about what triggered the investigation. The newspaper has used it’s “power” to skew a story adding defamatory contempt prior to a full investigation and a Grand Jury inquiry.
Has the meaning of the word “calling” changed to “guilty?”
Just for the record: iNetGlobal™ is a global Internet Service Company that provides essential services for its target market—entrepreneurs, home-based business, small businesses, and corporations—all those who need to market on the Internet. These “V” core services include—V-Webs™, V-Newswire™, V-Local™, V-Webcast™ and V-Shops™ – in addition to its online advertising services make up the bulk of the company’s business. Following its humble beginnings in 2006, iNetGlobal finally perfected what is now its current product lineup in July 2008. Since introducing the iNetGlobal™ services, the company has become one of the fastest growing Internet service companies in the world.
Our business model pays individuals to “Surf the Web” while using our products to promote and build capacity for their small businesses. iNetGlobal members are no different than Marketing Experts who sell online advertising and get paid commissions. In traditional advertising and marketing, the cost for such exposure would be phenomenal and beyond the reach of most small businesses.
iNetGlobal has created opportunities on a Global level.
iNetGlobal’s “V” core services are the back-bone of online Internet marketing. Following iNetGlobal’s™ humble beginnings in 2006, the company finally perfected what is now its current product lineup in July 2008. Since introducing the iNetGlobal™ services, the company has become one of the fastest growing Internet service companies in the world.
When staff questioned the intrusion of the government agencies, Robert MacQueen, Secret Service Lead Search Agent said, “This Company (iNetGlobal) is running a Ponzi scheme. We have 3500 Chinese filing a suit that said this.” Special Agent MacQueen went on to say, “We have frozen your bank accounts and the ‘victims’ will get their money back.” One of the staff of iNetGlobal asked the agent “Isn’t that for the courts to decide? It looks like you have found the company guilty with contempt, prior to investigation.
In closing, the United States of America was founded on hard working individuals that wanted to make a better life for themselves. It seems currently, if an individual is successful the federal government and the ponds they use (Star Tribune) paint an unrealistic picture of entrepreneurial success.
But really, when was the last time you purchased a newspaper versus reading your news online?
I feel the Star Tribune newspaper has lacked journalistic integrity in this story, and in other stories by not allowing their readership the option to see both sides.
Michael Jordan won’t be reappointed as civil rights director for Minneapolis. Are we suppose to like Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak now?
This video tells the “whole” story!
“The Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights has not been a community player since 1998. The investigators have a high sense of “southern stratification” and frown on serving the poor and misrepresented in Minneapolis.”
From the murder of Fong Lee to the taser death of Quincy Smith by the Minneapolis Police Department, the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights “leadership” and “investigators” barley lifted a finger until R.T. Rybak and Betsy Hodge’s proposed cut of the MDCR Investigative unit. Cases that automatically should have been on the radar of the MDCR went ignored.
“LEADERSHIP.”
On Tuesday, February 2, 2010 as reported by Steve Brandt, Michael Jordan won’t be reappointed as civil rights director for Minneapolis.
Under Michael Jordan’s “leadership,” the department has seen a rise in inner-office relationships; promotions for the least qualified – but most cooperative, and a long series of “oversights” by the departments lack of wanting to assist the community.
“Most of the time I walk in there, they (the investigators) look at me like I’m a germ. They treat me like I’m stupid and have always made it very hard for me to file my case,” says Terry Drakes of Minneapolis.
Mr. Drakes was one of the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights cases that IBNN alleges was mishandled, under handled and for the most part given to someone to work on with no experience – like the Fong Lee case.
Terry, who was an employee at the Rainbow Foods on 26th and Lake Street in Minneapolis who’s job was to push the shopping carts from the parking lot back into the store was injured on the job. During his tenure at Rainbow Foods it became evident to Mr. Drake that the company wanted him out. A long time Rainbow Foods shopper reported to the manager that Terry cut her off in the parking lot with his row of carts. The shopper spit in Mr. Drakes face and called him a Nigger. Terry reported this incident to management and things got worse.
Co-workers accused Drakes of waiting in his car with a gun planning to shoot a co-worker. The fact is – Mr. Drakes hasn’t owned a car or driven for over 20 years.
Rainbow released Mr. Drakes.
Mr. Drakes filed a claim over 4 years ago with the MDCR – he’s been hit with “by the book tactics” and a less than cooperative investigation staff.
58-year-old Terry Drakes is a disabled man. On one visit to the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights, Drakes was escorted by City Hall security to the civil rights office and then escorted out. The next morning, Minneapolis Police arrived at Mr. Drakes house and arrested him for “terroristic threats” against the MDCR investigators.
Mr. Drakes was released from the Hennepin County Jail with no charges. Mr. Drakes was set up by MDCR Investigative employees – remember, Drakes was escorted by security in and out of the building, there was no threats made.
Drakes said, “I asked the guard: did I threaten anyone?” Drakes said the guard told him “no.”
Sources tell IBNN that Michael Jordan made the call to have him arrested to “get rid of him” from bothering the investigators.
Terry says, “It’s been real hard for me. I’ve been trying to get someone to listen to me for more than 4-years. I have been eating oatmeal everyday for the last month and I’m getting ready to lose my apartment. What Michael Jordan and those ladies did to me was wrong. All I wanted to do was work and they made my life a living shit hell.”
This is just one of many examples of the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights Investigative Units intended over-sights under the leadership of Michael Jordan and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak.
For Terry Drakes: His case was found to have “no probable cause.”
Part 4: Affirmative Action is no “Action Jackson” at MnDOT
By Donald W.R. Allen,II – Editor in Chief/IBNN and USA Radical Black
Last week at MnDOT and internal email was sent to select employees at MnDOT regarding the recent stories posted on IBNN.
The email read: (Unedited):

Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 2010 10:47 AM
Re: Part 3 – Who signs off on 0% goals and 0% goals achieved at MnDOT?
FYI for internal use only – this will be discussed at the DBE and Workforce Development Collaborative Group meeting on Friday. Specifically, hopefully, 1) Lennie Chism bringing Donny Allen a newsperson who seemed only there looking for a story and he did not state that this is why he was there; and 2) it was agreed to “no surprises” at the last meeting and this has been the fourth surprise from Mr. Chism; ground roles for media and the hard work going forth with all the project teams.
Note: The email above is just another example of bigotry at MnDOT for the acting civil rights director to single out two Black men, asking questions about a 17 year trend of failure in an attempt to address, solve and recommend a plan of action. This top-of-mind attention is not wanted at MnDOT, hence, 1% in federally funded contracts to minority contractors.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation employee base is a “protected class” of the government workforce. They have the “Cadillac” of benefits that aren’t affected by the current economic status of non-government working-class Minnesotans. Read more
The top 12 “Community Pimping” incidents of 2009: Thou shall not Pimp the Community in 2010!
2009 had its share of examples where “self-appointed” leaders, big name companies, human service agencies and politicians took the opportunity to pimp the community at the community’s expense. This article is dedicated to all of those people who thought they got away free and clear in 2009. In 2010, IBNN will continue to report in real-time on the issues facing the Twin Cities Black community and those involved. Until then, Happy New Year’s!

1) In January 2009 the General Mills Foundation in collaboration with the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) repeated the actions of 2008 by refusing to allow minority-ethnic media outlet the opportunity to have a table in the lobby at the MLK Breakfast. The table was a way to let the attendees of the MLK breakfast pick-up a copy of their favorite Black, Hispanic-Latino, Asian and African newspaper. IBNN launched the boycott against General Mills which continues today…are you still buying Cheerios?
2) Also in January, IBNN posted the story, “The Real story why Senator Norm Coleman, the MN GOP and the Republican Party of Minnesota got thrown under the Democratic Bus.” A play-by-play of the 2008 election cycle from a point of view that will make you wonder, “What was the MN GOP thinking?” Read more
Chattanooga police fired 53 shots at suicidal man to subdue him; doctors count 43 bullet wounds
Posted by the Chattanooga Times Free Press
Six Chattanooga police officers fired 59 bullets to subdue a suicidal armed man last month, a police spokeswoman said today.
(See medical examiners report by clicking here.)
A preliminary autopsy report shows the victim, Alonzo A. Heyward, 32, had 43 bullet holes in his body. Without question, those wounds led to his death, the medical examiner’s report indicates. But police said the use of force wasn’t excessive.
“When we are trained to shoot, we are trained to shoot until we subdue the threat,” said Lt. Kim Noorbergen, police spokeswoman. “We are not trained to shoot to kill, as many people think.”
(See the video by clicking on photo.)
Mr. Heyward was pointing a shotgun at his face outside the McDonald’s restaurant on Rossville Boulevard in the early morning hours of July 18 when approached by police, according to previous police statements. Officers followed Mr. Heyward to his home on Seventh Avenue, continually asking him to disarm, but Mr. Heyward didn’t comply, police have said.
On Monday, Chattanooga police released an audio recording of the encounter. The recording comes from the microphone of Officer Lauren Bacha, who apparently arrived at the scene after Mr. Heyward already was on the porch of his home.
One neighbor is heard telling officers that Mr. Heyward had been threatening to kill himself all day and had been drinking. Police say that once on the porch at his house, Mr. Heyward pointed his weapon at them, and that’s when they used a stun gun. When that didn’t work, the officers resorted to deadly force.
The audio plays out as a heated exchange between Mr. Heyward and police, followed by the sound of Mr. Heyward being hit with an electric stun gun and then three volleys of gunshots.
Lt. Noorbergen said those three gunfire bursts indicate officers didn’t think the threat posed by Mr. Heyward and his gun was quashed.
“You hear a five-second delay and then more gunfire,” Lt. Noorbergen said. “In these situations we do what it takes to stop the threat.”
The autopsy report, which is not yet final, details gunshot wounds on nearly every part of Mr. Heyward’s 5-foot-9-inch, 180-pound body.
Bullet holes were present from his chin to his ankle, but Lt. Noorbergen said it’s not clear which of those were entry or exit wounds.
“In one case we know there were three wounds for one gunshot,” Lt. Noorbergen said, explaining a bullet entered one part of the body, exited and then entered another part.
But the officers did fire a total of 59 rounds at Mr. Heyward, the lieutenant said. A standard .45-caliber pistol holds nine bullets, but not all officers carry the same weapon, she said.
From the start, Mr. Heyward’s family has questioned the use of force. No one was at the Seventh Avenue residence on Monday.
“It was like they had machine guns, all shooting,” said James Heyward, shortly after the shooting. “All the officers fired a round. (Alonzo) said he didn’t want to hurt anybody, he just wanted to hurt himself.”
Minneapolis Police Taser non-combative man in the neck
Minneapolis, MN (November 3, 2009-IBNN)…Again the “cowboys” on the Minneapolis Police Department have gone too far.
Video given to WCCO-TV late Monday night shows a man with his hands on a squad car when an officer uses a Taser on his neck.
Attorney Albert Goins is suing the City of Minneapolis on behalf of his client, Rolando Ruiz. They’re asking for $75,000 and that the officer involved be reprimanded.
The video given to WCCO starts only seconds before the Taser is used on Ruiz, not what led up to the incident. But in that time, no struggle can be seen before the officer used his Taser on Ruiz. What is seen is Ruiz with his hands on the hood of the officer’s car.
The dash camera of the squad car was rolling when the officer approached Ruiz with Taser in hand. See Video by clicking on the photo.
Vote “NO” on Charter Amendment 168 – The Minneapolis City Council doesn’t need anymore power!
You may have received a flashy piece of campaign literature in the mail yesterday telling you that there is a “mystery board” that sets property taxes and you should vote “no” on the proposal on the ballot on November 3rd to get rid of its “back room dealings.” It says that only two of the thirteen City Council members actually vote on your property taxes. It says there are parts of the City that are shut out from decisions about your taxes and we should have the City Council take over this board so all the City has a voice in tax levels.
This is simply untrue. The City Council sets the property taxes for the City of Minneapolis and has done so since the City was established in 1867. In fact, last year, on December 11th, the full City Council voted to set your property taxes. It was Resolution 2008R-538: “Approving the 2008 property tax levies, payable in 2009, for the various funds of the City of Minneapolis for which the City Council levies taxes.”
The Council vote was: Yeas – Hodges; Samuels; Gordon; Hofstede; Ostrow; Schiff, Colvin Roy, Glidden, Remington, Benson, Johnson, and Lilligren. Nays – Goodman.
You can follow this link to the City’s website to read the full Council action here.
In fact, on the City’s website you can see how every year the City Council sets the City’s property taxes.
Now this piece of literature was sent out as an attack on the Board of Estimate and Taxation. The Board of Estimate is not some “mystery board.” It is simply a place where the City Council, the Mayor, the Park Board and a few regular citizens together agree on the maximum amount your taxes could go up each year. This is done in open meetings and this year, dozens of citizens were at this meeting, more than were there on December 11th 2008 when the City Council set your property taxes.
Why was this fear mongering piece sent out trying to scare us about “back room deal making”?
The Mayor and several Council Members want to get rid of the independent Park Board. They tried to do this earlier this year but decided that citizens wouldn’t support such a referendum. So instead, they want the City Council to take over the Board of Estimate and thus control exactly how much funding the Park Board will get. If the Park Board disagrees with the City Council, the Council can simply compel compliance by cutting the Park Board’s funding until it submits. The result is the City Council in control of our parks and more power concentrated in fewer hands.
Our parks are our city’s most valuable asset. We need to protect our parks and to do so we need a strong Park Board. And to have a strong Park Board we need to have a strong, independent Board of Estimate and Taxation.
Having the City Council take over the Board of Estimate is opposed by just about everyone who isn’t gaining power through this move. People opposed to this referendum included Mayor Don Fraser and Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton Park Board President Tom Nordyke and Park Board Vice-President Mary Merrill Anderson and Park Commissioners Scott Vreeland. Carol Kummer, Bob Fine, Annie Young, Jon Olson, Tracy Nordstrom and Walter Dziedzic, Council Member Cam Gordon, Hennepin County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, Senator Patricia Torres Ray and Senator Scott Dibble, Rep. Joe Mullery, Rep. Jeff Hayden, Rep. Phyllis Kahn, and Rep. Diane Loeffler, Candidates Meg Tuthill, Papa John Kolstad, Al Flowers, Bob Miller, John Erwin, Jason Stone, Michael Martens, Meg Forney, Dave Bicking, Dave Wahlstedt, Liz Wielinski, Phil Wilkie, and DeWayne Townsend, and many others.
You can read Mayor Don Fraser and Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton’s opposition to this takeover here:
If you want to read more about why the Board of Estimate is important, go to www.savethebet.org
Please don’t fall for the fear mongering. The Minneapolis City Council doesn’t need more power. We need checks and balances in our tax system. We need collaboration, not domination.
We need to keep the Board of Estimate in its role as a place where the City Council and Park Board have to work together. Please, on November 3rd, go to the bottom of the ballot and vote “No” on Charter Amendment 168.
Has Minneapolis City Councilman Don Samuels lost his rabbit a** mind?
The Ward 5 Minneapolis City Council race has been; and continues to be one of strangest political races in Minneapolis’ history.
In this video, Councilman Don Samuels – in a room full of his north Minneapolis other-than minority-ethnic constituents talking about “cleaning up 
the north side.” Samuels goes on this rant and talks about the 24-hour Y and how great it is. He talks about the “stings” on Broadway businesses. This video is proof that Councilman Samuels is in need of a reality check.
IBNN’s question to CM Samuels is, “What happened to the community benefit agreement? How many people from north Minneapolis will get hired? Will this just be a mirror image of the Peace Foundation and Colorplast.
This Jamaican-American man’s rant in front of these White folks takes the Black people of north Minneapolis back to the Motherland where our own people sold us as slaves. In the United States, this politicians comment sends Americans (all), back to the days of “White only drinking fountains.”
(This posting is not an endorsement for any candidates running for Minneapolis City Council Ward 5 – but can be considered an alert for who to watch for…)
Chism and Community members petition Ward 5’s Don Samuels to HALT demolition of 2426 Plymouth Avenue (Uncle Bill’s) in North Minneapolis
On Monday, (8/10) IBNN received an email copied to over 20 people from Springboard Economic Development Corporation’s Lennie Chism. Chism and community members are asking Ward 5 council member Don Samuels to halt demolition of the site called “Uncle Bills.”
Read the history of Uncle Bills here.
“Milk and eggs – the minimum’s for our community are blocked with maximum resistance.”
….Lennie Chism, Founder Springboard Economic Development Corporation
Minneapolis, MN… Springboard Economic Development Corporation’s Lennie Chism and community members have officially requested the demolition of the building that once housed “Uncle Bills” be stopped.
Chism states, “Council member Samuels is not willing to listen to his constituents. Even if the building does not become a “store or café,” it still can be used and rehabbed as lofts or apartments. Mr. Samuels should use this opportunity to show his respect for the people of north Minneapolis’ Ward 5 residents. I know Uncle Bill’s was a troubled property in the past – it’s a new day, with better ideas and people that care. Tearing down the building is just a ‘bully tactic’ which is antiquated and not necessary.”
The following email with signed petition was sent to Samuels’s office today:
To: City of Minneapolis Councilmember Don Samuels (Ward 5)
I am requesting the demolition of 2426 Plymouth Ave North, commonly known as Uncle Bills be stopped.
The attached signed petitions are opposed to the demolition. Additional signatures are being obtained. Voices for demolition comes from a small group of activist not representative of the larger 5th Ward community.
The city of Minneapolis has refused to allow rehabilitation of this property which they are using federal stimulus dollars for demo. I am seeking to prevent the use of stimulus money to destroy a property that can and has been a viable commercial property since 1921. The federal stimulus dollars are to be used to build the community. I have 5 pages of a signed petition in support of “stopping the demo” from local residents.

A phone call to council member Samuels, the Ward 5 councilman’s assistant said, “Due to his meeting schedule, he would not be able to make a statement – but go ahead with the story.” (IBNN will leave an opportunity open for CM Samuels to make a comment at his convenience.)
Chism brings up a good point in his email to Samuels in stating, “The City of Minneapolis has refused to allow rehabilitation of this property which they are using federal stimulus dollars for demo.”
This leaves quite a few questions unanswered.
President Barack Obama’s intent was stimulus dollars would be used to build communities suffering across the United States. How did dollars for capacity end up as dollars for demolition in the City of Minneapolis? Also, did the City of Minneapolis supply a list of repairs needed on the structure?
IBNN has to ask the questions, “What local agencies ‘public or private’ know about the ‘use of stimulus dollars’ to tear down the community?” Secondly, on Sunday (8/9) IBNN discovered that a very small percentage of the Black community had read Mayor R.T. Rybak’s 2009 Supplemental Budget – for that matter never really have followed agencies like CPED (Community Planning and Economic Development) – an Minneapolis agency that bypasses most Minneapolis Departmentof Civil Rights Ordinances as it pertains to compliance.
With that said – who is monitoring local government to make sure that dollars meant to build capacity aren’t used for Gentrification?
Gentrification is a contentious issue in many U.S. cities, especially when it involves racial turnover; whites moving into previously segregated black neighborhoods leads to concern over the diminishing black community. The black community is discussed in the context of structural racial inequality. Racial boundaries are discussed as social processes of identifying with the neighborhood and one’s racial group.
This becomes a serious issue in the Black community, partly because self-appointed leaders have no interests in saving, rehabbing or even tracking dollars from the President Obama’s Stimulus campaign.
We (Blacks), are the first to be evicted; first to lose a job; first to get counseled by people that don’t look like us (foreclosure crisis), and still the first to end up with nothing.
If this is part of the City of Minneapolis’ plan for the Gentrification of north Minneapolis – to transform a run-down or aging neighborhoods into a more prosperous ones by using Stimulus dollars to tear down old homes and buildings, where is the plan to build and remodel though the use of stimulus dollars and private investors to assist in building capacity for the “land-banked” areas.
“A taking without just compensation has gone on too long in our community.”
