Tacoma, WA — On May 24, 2014, 15-year-old Monique Tillman and her brother were riding their bikes when they were stopped and this young girl brutally assaulted by Tacoma Police Officer Jared Williams.
Tillman and her brother had done nothing wrong, and were merely targetted by this ‘public servant’ because they had the unfortunate luck to have crossed paths with him.
As the duo travelled home, they cut through a mall parking lot, as they had done countless times before. However, this time, Officer Williams was in that parking lot, in his full Tacoma Police department uniform, yet off-duty, working as mall security. As the teens travelled through the lot, Williams began pursuit of these hardened criminals and accused them of trespassing.
Knowing they’d done nothing wrong, Monique attempted to explain to the officer that they cut through the parking lot all the time on their way home. However, this tyrant was having nothing of it.
As the duo attempted to ride away from a man whose intentions were clearly unscrupulous, Williams attacked. A recently released surveillance video shows the disturbing scene that unfolded next.
This heroic officer ripped the girl from her bike and slammed her up against a parked car with his hand around her neck. As the child struggled to breathe, this abusive tyrant grabbed her by the hair and flung her around like a rag doll.
Clearly overpowering the small child, half his size, the officer wasn’t satisfied with the damage he’d inflicted so far. So, for good measure, Williams pulled out his taser and sent 50,000 volts into this poor girl.
“He was choking me, grabbed me by my hair and tried to slam my face into the concrete. The next thing I know, I’m on the ground being tased,” Tillman said.
Now face down, tasered, handcuffed and brutalized, Williams stood over his victim like a hunter and his kill. He had protected society from the likes of a dangerous brother and sister riding their bicycles.
Williams then arrested Monique and charged her with resisting arrest and, get this, assault on an officer.
After viewing the surveillance video of the incident, however, all of the charges were thrown out.
Vito de la Cruz, Tillman’s attorney, has filed a lawsuit seeking damages from Officer Williams, the Simon Property Group who owns the Tacoma Mall and Universal Protection Services, the private security company in charge of Tacoma Mall security.
“A child riding a bike should not have to worry that a police officer will stop her without legal cause and brutalize her,” said de la Cruz. “Our communities are weary of another African American child being hurt by unwarranted and excessive police force.”
The Free Thought Project reached out the Tacoma PD to inquire about Williams’ current status and if any disciplinary action had been taken. However, our requests for comment were not returned.
Below is what policing in modern day America has become.
TACOMA, Wash. -- A Tacoma neighborhood is under siege by a group relentless teens. Since the summer months the group has terrorized innocent residents, who now say they've had enough.
"Initially it kind of started with some kids, some school kids, getting off a bus right here," said Jon Jarmon, who lives in the neighborhood. South 45th Street near the Tacoma Mall has always been a busy residential area, but recently it's also become dangerous. For months neighbors say the teens have been harassing residents and vandalizing their homes and property.
"You have no peace, no freedom," said Jarmon.
Jarmon has shuttered his windows and even put up a net to prevent rocks from doing more damage to his Tacoma home. He has even captured video of the teens hurling rocks into houses and cars.
"They're not only targeting me but they are targeting my neighbors as well," said Jarmon.
Less than block away, neighbor Sam Pasana has a broken window in his SUV.
"There's multiple neighbors here that have had their windows broken out," said Pasana, who lives on the Tacoma neighborhood. "If anyone has ever had a window broken out, it's pretty costly."
And another neighbor a few homes away has been the victim of an attempted burglary. Neighbors say the teens also spew racial slurs on loud bullhorns in the middle of the night and even bang on front doors of homes and townhouses.
"I feel like it's a ticking time bomb for this situation," said Pasana.
Neighbors have contact police multiple times but say the problems haven't stopped. Even so, many residents say they love their community and won't let harassment and vandalism push them away.
The community would like to start a neighborhood watch to shine a brighter light on these growing problems.
We reached out to the Tacoma Police Department to talk about these issues but they were not available.
A couple of kids riding their bikes are "rowdy teens terrorizing neighborhood"?
Don’r ask me … I wasn’t there.
Look, I know you are one of the "cops are gods" contingent here at LF, but seriously? You really believe that the story you posted somehow justifies the cops behavior?
Nope, I seriously don’t.
Williams then arrested Monique and charged her with resisting arrest and, get this, assault on an officer.
I read that.
After viewing the surveillance video of the incident, however, all of the charges were thrown out.You must have missed that part.
