NOPD cover-up in shooting death of Wendell Allen - video included
Posted on 8/4/15 at 8:25 pm
Posted on 8/4/15 at 8:25 pm
Background- Police do a no-knock warrant in house where toddlers were present for weed. Cop goes upstairs and 20 year old Wendell Allen is coming out of his room in PJ's, unarmed. Cop kills him. He later pleads guilty to manslaughter and is serving four years. Video shows no announcement before entry and you hear Allen crying as he lay dying

It gets worse
Gets even worse
Oh, it's bad
and finally, the worst, in my opinion

quote:
Hutson's report points to flaws in the warrant that authorized the search, and notes that video showed officers didn't announce themselves before battering down the front door of the house or warned Allen before Colclough opened fire.
It gets worse
quote:
Hutson's report notes the department's investigation, led by Homicide Division detective Sgt. Bruce Glaudi, had significant flaws.
Glaudi, the report states, told officers he interviewed as witnesses that his investigation was about an "attempted homicide of a police officer," not an officer-involved shooting, and Glaudi was hostile during interviews with Allen's brother, who had witnessed the shooting.
Gets even worse
quote:
Glaudi also initially ignored that one of the officers in the raid said he had video of it, even after Glaudi was reminded about the officer's statement immediately by a deputy monitor who was present for the interview. Glaudi only sought out the video after the monitor complained to then-Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas and Public Integrity Bureau Director Arlinda Westbrook.
Oh, it's bad
quote:
The police monitor found the video contradicted statements by NOPD officers Roy Caballero, Nigel Daggs and Eugene Cummings, who said they knocked before battering down the door. Caballero, who was behind Colclough on the stairs, also said that Caballero warned Allen before Colclough fired.
quote:
Despite the video evidence, Glaudi included those officers' statements in his report, and misstated the accounts of an 8-year-old and 14-year-old witness, the police monitor's review found.
and finally, the worst, in my opinion
quote:
Glaudi also fixated on the gun and preliminary tests that showed gunshot residue on Allen's hands and the hands of his brother and 19-year-old friend who were upstairs when Allen was shot. Final tests did not show any gunshot residue, but Glaudi did not include the information in his report, according to the monitor's conclusions.

He was tried and convicted, is there something new to this case?

agree. But whoever Glaudi is should be prosecuted. Allen's family is now callilg for him and the other officers for the cover-up

Is he against police cover-ups too?

He was never really tried. He saw the writing of on the wall and plead down to manslaughter. But to answer your question, most definitely yes. The cover up by Glaudi who investigated the shooting and did his best to help his fellow murderer out by covering facts up.

I know the common sarcastic response is "he was a good kid", etc., but I know someone that knew Wendell Allen personally and said he was truly a great kid with his head on his shoulders. I believe her, too.

The cover-up extends farther than anyone would dare believe:
Here's Glaudi all chummy with Garlandfill and Angela.
ETA: Al Duckworth's hair is rocking the joint.

Why were they raiding?
quote:
The afternoon of March 7, 2012, narcotics officers in the 3rd District had watched several hand-to-hand drug deals take place in front of Allen's house in the 2600 block of Prentiss Street, and tailed two suspected dealers into Jefferson Parish and made a traffic stop, the report says. A search warrant application lists the Allens' house as the address of one of the suspects, though neither suspect gave that address, Hutson's report says.
Officers also were aware that there were children at the house — Hutson's report notes that children ranging in age from 1-year-old to 14 were inside, along with Allen, his 19-year-old brother and a 19-year-old friend.
ALlen was never observed making a transaction, nor his brother. Just in front [near] his house. The did find 4 ounces of weed there.

Lay down with dogs, wake up with the cops coming through the door w/o knocking.
Don't care.

Of course you don't. Associate with someone who has weed and the penalty is death, not to mention cops trying to cover it up. There are places for people who want to live in such a state, mainly communist and police state countries.

How someone can keep from being sick when reviewing this case is beyond me.

I'm baffled this is even a question! How is this not a crime?

He's actually still on the force. But this report just became public. Hopefully, it will gain steam.

I am getting that vibe too. Strongly.

We can hope. Then open an investigation into every report he has written and free any incarcerated persons until investigation is completed.
What a jerk! Messing up the entire legal process!
