Rebuketheworld BREAKING news: The Killing of Fouad Kaady


 
Scenario~ If you were a police officer and encountered a young man who was badly injured from a car accident how do you think you would handle it?  What if he was badly burned, covered in blood and running around naked?  You might question why he is naked but charred skin leads you to think that this young man must have taken off his clothes from the shear pain of fire on his body.  Now, here is the question? Would you have the brain power to expect that a man whose in utter pain probably won't respond as normal as someone who isn't? What if you were badly burned and you were running around in pain, would you expect police officers to understand your physiological state?
 
A young woman called Cat produced this riveting video through Indy Pdx Productions.  This new evidence sheds some serious light on a popular Oregon case involving a young man called Fouad Kaady. I attended a meeting last Saturday 21, 2007 at the Portland Watershed to watch this video.  I wanted to interview the family but they weren't there. The practicing attorney whose handling the case had left before I could talk to him but I did tape a copy of the video that was shown. I will tell you this, the video is shocking! The police officers dropped the ball so many times that its hard to believe that they are back at work and without consequences.
 
Fouad Kaady's parents have filed a lawsuit and I am hoping that they win. Fouad Kaady died that night. His last moments were full of shear pain and he was surrounded by two ignorant men who not only didn't think on their toes but their story just doesn't add up. Listen to their testimony. It took 28 seconds from the time that the police arrived at the scene to when Fouad was killed. In my opinion, the time crunch factor doesn't make it possible for all that they said to have happened, to be possible.
 
Do think on this as well, if another person gets in a accident and is badly burned, we don't want those police officers to expect a burning victim to be calm and able to follow directions when in shear pain.
 
Like I said in my sarcastic article that I wrote out of shear frustration because of the stupid things that police officers do BUT any police officer whose deathly afraid of a naked, badly burned man whose running around screaming doesn't have what it takes to do his job.
 
 
Videos~ The following police testimonies weren't open to the media or public until now!

I do plan on interviewing Portlanders and posting more videos this weekend.

    I always liked the idea of unarmed cops... who have the option of pulling back, calling the station, and bringing a full, military-style assault down on whoever is mean/stupid enough to use force on an unarmed flatfoot.

    I came and watched all the videos.  I think it ws a case of the police officers thinking of their safety and not even adding up the terrible condition this young man was in. This one seemed terribly afraid of the blood.  I would imaine that almost everyone who saw it thought the police did not act heroic, or respond in a fashion tht people could understand.  I will be interested to hear moe of what people thought.  Gerry http://journals.aol.com/gehi6/daughters-of-the-shadow-men/
