Police Brutality – Carlos Pacheco’s Story
Police abuse remains one of the most serious and divisive human rights violations in the United States today! The horrific images of Rodney King being beat by the LAPD, are one of the most blatant reminders of police brutality against innocent victims. The excessive use of force by police officers,…. including unjustified shootings,…. severe beatings, ……and fatal chokings, and unwarranted use of Tasers… persists…. This Special INSIDER EXCLUSIVE investigation discovered….. that police brutality is persistent and rampant across America….AND that systems to deal with abuse have FAILED…. And that Victims seeking redress…. face daunting obstacles at every point in the process….. ranging from overt intimidation to the reluctance of local and federal prosecutors to take on brutality cases.…… of officers who have committed these human rights violations. Today, the INSIDER EXCLUSIVE Investigative TV Series “Goes behind the Headlines” in “Police Brutality – Carlos Pacheco’s Story” to investigate a Police Brutality case against the New York City Police Dept… and how some rogue Police Officers beat, handcuffed, and Tasered a 27 year old epileptic young man, Carlos Pacheco, while he was suffering from a seizure. Carlos’s attorney, famed New York Civil Rights Lawyer Seth A. Harris, Ptr Burns & Harris successfully got the truth….And got Justice for Carlos with a Verdict of $1 Million dollars against the NYPD… On September 30, 2006….Carlos’s girlfriend, Christina Sanchez had telephoned the 9-1-1 emergency-response service.. for HELP….That’s right HELP for Carlos… And Police Officers soon arrived and yanked Carlos out of bed following his seizure and rear-handcuffed him, then strapped him to an EMS chair by his chest and legs A police sergeant, James Sutter, subsequently arrived, and Sutter repeatedly used his Taser to subdue Pacheco. Tasering Pacheco in the stomach and chest area as well as in the back while Pacheco was rear-handcuffed and strapped by a lap/thigh belt and a chest belt to an EMS chair. Remarkably, the Officers …..”Claimed”…. Carlos was unnecessarily hostile….but there was no complaint of any criminal activity and…. Remember….the police were responding to a “911” call for medical attention. Pacheco was never accused of any wrong doing… nor arrested. So Why was he Beat….And Tasered ??? According to the American Medical Association and the American Epilepsy Foundation …..Epilepsy is a brain disorder which can result in changes in body movements, awareness, and emotions. About 2 million people in the United States have epilepsy. The psychosis, when it emerges, can be sudden…. and the behavior can be extravagant. Typically….hallucinations and delusions are noted; prominent are persecutory and religious phenomena. Well- directed violent attacks are seen in about 25% of episodes. As Seth has often said….. “the problem of Police Brutality… Against the Mentally and Physically Ill…. is much more widespread than most Americans are willing to admit. …….Our nation practices….. a selective blindness……In this great and strong nation, we have all become unwitting accomplices to the continuation of the conflict”. Seth has earned the highest respect from citizens and lawyers alike…. as one of the best Trial lawyers in New York….. and in the nation. He has seen many innocent & hard-working people become VICTIMS of the Police Brutality He understands that Police brutality is one of the most serious, enduring, and divisive human rights violations in the United States. The problem is not just in New York…BUT nationwide….AND its nature is institutionalized. AND BECAUSE OF THAT…..He is driven to fight for people who had been harmed by the willful or negligent actions of others. He…Learned A long Time ago ….that “IF A MAN hasn’t discovered something that he will die for… He isn’t fit to live.” His goals….. Not ONLY To get Justice for his clients… BUT To make sure ALL Americans have the right to a fair trial, honest cops, impartial prosecutors, and fair judges with NO AGENDAs… BECAUSE “INJUSTICE ANYWHERE…..IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE” !!! “AND Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just …..may be powerful….AND… whatever is powerful may be just.”….

DEATH ON THE TRACKS- A $37 Million Dollar Union Pacific Railroad’s “Coverup”
From Jan. 1975 through May 31, 2009, there has been a total of 213,814 Railroad crossing accidents which were reported by the railroads to the National Response Center. Closer examination reveals that over 20 thousand people were killed in these accidents and another 79,469 were injured. Shocking statistics were recently reported by the Federal Railroad Administration regarding railroad-related accidents and injuries. It is estimated that cars and trains collide every 12 minutes with a total of 9,570 train accidents in 2009. Here are some other disturbing statistics: Of the 9,570 train wrecks……. 649 people were killed…. and 6,686 people were injured. The average train weighs 12 million pounds, so the weight ratio of a train to a car is about 4,000 to one. This compares to the weight ratio of a car to aluminum can. And A train traveling at 50 mph…. pulling 100 cars… takes one mile to stop….so in a contest between a car and a train….. the train always wins. The motorist in a train/motor vehicle collision is 40 times more likely to die than in a collision between two motor vehicles. This fact is a real Shocker! As of December 2009, the United States had 136,041 public at-grade Railroads crossings. Of these crossings, approximately 42,301 have gates, 22,039 have flashing lights, and 1,196 have highway traffic signals, wigwags, and bells. So Do the Math……The remaining Rail Road crossings…approx 72,000….in America today….OVER 50%.... have NOTHING…… no warning lights…. no gates….and nothing to protect drivers… PLUS…To make matters even worse….Not only are these 72,000 Crossings “Unprotected”….. Many of them are Overgrown with weeds, trees and types of vegetation making the crossings DANGEROUS…Like you cannot see the train a’coming! About 9:30 a.m. on January 19, 1998, Chris Barbor, a trash collector in the city of Goodwin, Arkansas…. and his coworker, Charles Rolfe, were working their route when Charles turned the trash truck off of Highway 70 and approached railroad tracks running parallel to the highway. Charles slowed and looked both ways down the tracks, seeing and hearing no trains ……he dropped the truck into low gear in order to climb the a 53 inch inclined approach to the crossing. As the two came upon the tracks, Chris, sitting in the passenger seat, was finally able to see far enough down the tracks to observe a train was coming at about 60 miles per hour. It was too late. The truck could not clear the track before the arrival of the train. Charles Rolfe was killed and Chris Barber was permanently disabled. Today the INSIDER EXCLUSIVE “Goes Behind The Headlines” in a new TV Exclusive “ DEATH ON THE TRACKS- Union Pacific Railroad’s $37 Million Dollar “Coverup”to show how Robert Pottroff, Ptr, and Stephen Boyda @ the Pottroff Law Offices….. successfully “uncovered”…as the court wrote..” a pervasive and sinister corporate policy at Union Pacific that put company profits before public safety" And, as the Court also found…. ‘How Union Pacific intentionally destroyed track records and voice tapes…and all kinds of evidence’ But Bob and Steve expected this from Union Pacific…so Instead of worrying about all the missing evidence….they embraced it and used missing evidence as one of the themes of the case. The challenge was how to impress on the jury all the items of evidence that were missing. The solution was to have 12 Empty Big Boxes representing all the missing evidence with labels for all the evidence that should have been preserved. 12 Big Empty Boxes….sitting in the courtroom staring right at the jury! With a backdrop of missing evidence it was easier to expose the industry's dirty little secrets about safety issues that the railroad industry have refused to acknowledge. The jury was so “INFURIATED”….so “DISGUSTED” With Union Pacific’s conduct and flagrant disregard for the safety of all Americans…and even the laws of our great country…. They rendered a Verdict of $5 Million against Union Pacific Railroad for actual damages.. And a “Record Breaking” $25 Million Punitive Damages Award for their flagrant disregard of the law… and for all Americans safety. After exhausting all their appeal options,…..including a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, the UNION PACIFIC was finally forced to pay just over $37,000,000 to satisfy the judgment. In its Petition to the U.S. Supreme Court the railroad ….challenged the size of the punitive damage award… by pointing out that it was “by far the largest punitive damages award ever upheld by an American court in a railroad grade crossing case…” In fact Following this verdict Arkansas railroads began to aggressively clear visibility obstructions at their crossings and paying for maintenance that had been deferred. The result was a tremendous reduction of accidents and fatalities at crossings in Arkansas over the next several years. Bob Pottroff, and Steve Boydra have earned the highest respect from citizens and lawyers alike…. as some of the best Train Accident lawyers in the nation…. fighting for the victims of railroad companies in the battle for railroad safety. AND BECAUSE OF THAT…..They are driven to fight for people who had been harmed by the willful or negligent actions of others. Their goals….. Not ONLY To get Justice for his clients… BUT To make sure that all Railroad companies implement maximum safety protections that all Americans need and deserve.

Many of them are Overgrown with weeds, trees and types of vegetation making the crossings VERY DANGEROUS…Like you cannot see the train a’coming! On November 6, 1998, a Union Pacific train struck the Frank Stevensons' red Nissan Pulsar, as it crossed the tracks on Highway 364 in Vanndale, Arkansas. As a result of the collision, and Frank suffered severe injuries…has no memory of the accident…And his loving wife of many years was killed! Frank Stevenson had lived 300 feet from the Union Pacific railroad crossing for over 15 years before this accident . Today the INSIDER EXCLUSIVE “Goes Behind The Headlines” in TV Exclusive “ DEATH ON THE TRACKS- UNION PACIFIC’S DEADLY “COVERUP” ….. to show how Robert Pottroff, Ptr, @ the Pottroff Law Offices, and his team of lawyers, successfully “uncovered”…as the court wrote.. • “a pervasive and sinister corporate policy at Union Pacific that put company profits before public safety" . And the court continued…. • "Union Pacific intentionally destroyed track records and voice tapes. • Furthermore, there is evidence from which a jury would reasonably conclude that Union Pacific attempted to conceal `slow orders' issued for this portion of track." The biggest challenge, in this case…. facing Bob and his lawyers was establishing how somebody could ever be hit by a train at such a familiar railroad crossing. This challenge was compounded by an Absence of witnesses to the accident,…..Missing evidence and…. Federal preemption of their strongest claims against the railroad. Railroad photographs taken by Union Pacific, of “Camera Angles”….. the day of the accident made it appear that the view in both directions was wide open. But that simply was not true…. Bob illustrated how the wrong camera height allowed the railroad to conceal view obstructions with misleading photos. Unbelievably, Bob showed that :…… • Relevant records that predated the accident were destroyed after the accident and voice recordings of the crew and railroad dispatcher were also destroyed. • Union Pacific “claimed” that the records were destroyed • A pattern of discovery abuse was ultimately established. In a published opinion Federal Court Judge Bill Wilson stated that he was: • “disturbed by the lack of communication and cooperation within Defendant’s organization” • ….and that the railroad “in essence, contends that its right hand often knows not what its left hand is doing….and remained willfully blind and uninformed, • intending to rely on its document retention policies to avoid discovery.” In addition the railroad was ordered to pay $164,410.25 in attorney fees and costs for discovery abuse. Union Pacific's record of seven court sanctions between July 2001 and January 2003 for destroying or failing to preserve evidence —— is outrageous! In fact Union Pacific’s own “Claims Manual” served as its own “Smoking Gun”… And it states verbatim…..“in more serious cases when Company liability is obvious and no mitigating circumstances develop, no useful purpose is served by extensively documenting evidence… Bob Pottroff has earned the highest respect from citizens and lawyers alike…. as one of the best Train Accident lawyers in the nation…. fighting for the victims of railroad companies in the battle for railroad safety. And because of that…..He is driven to fight for people who had been harmed by the willful or negligent actions of others. His goals…..

Dream Vacations Gone Bad – The Paul Brunner and Doug Otte Story
A Big Game Hunting….. Dream Vacation…. to the Arctic Circle in Canada went from heaven to Disaster in one moment, …..On August 26, 2001. For Experienced big game bow hunters, Paul Brunner from Montana and Doug Otte from Nebraska…who were two of six hunters on a musk ox expedition north of the Arctic Circle in Nunavut, Canada. They went on a trip to the Cambridge Bay area of Nunavut Province, north of the Arctic Circle that was sold to them in Canada North provided the housing, food, a cook and other provisions during this 10 day hunt for musk ox. The two cabins in which the hunters lived were made of plywood, and had neither a fire extinguisher nor a fire ax……contrary to Canadian law. The Coleman camp stove provided by Canada North flamed fitfully each time it was used…. and the storage of the cooking fuel “naphtha” was not carefully stored in red canisters. Sometimes it was stored in containers marked “water”. One of the hunters, Jerry Hampson from Lancaster, Ohio, filled a pot with liquid from an unmarked jug and placed it on the Coleman stove to heat up bath water at the end of the day. When Canada North’s cook adjusted the flame on the stove…… Flames flared and suddenly engulfed the pot which quickly spread from the pot to other parts of the cabin. Hampson grabbed a Red container containing a clear liquid and dumped it on the flames….thinking it was water! But, INSTEAD, the liquid was naptha, which caused an explosion and turned the cabin into an inferno trapping Brunner, Hampson and Otte. All three caught on fire and believed they were going to die. Brunner, Otte and Hampson were trapped inside… Otte, on fire, escaped through a window after someone outside through a rock smashing it. That caused the door to open, and Brunner, also on fire, crawled through the flames on his hands and feet to safety.Tragically, Hampson died from his injuries. Both Brunner and Otte suffered horrible burns that left permanent impairments.The case against Canada North was brought in Ohio since it did business in Ohio. Today The Insider Exclusive presents “Dream Vacations Gone Bad – The Paul Brunner and Doug Otte Story …… And How their Lawyer, Bob Palmer @ the law firm of ROBERT GRAY PALMER CO. LPA got Justice for Paul and Doug and their families… Litigating on behalf of travelers who have been seriously injured in exotic and distant locations can be challenging…. indeed. Where and who, for example, are the viable and liable defendants in real life vacation disasters? The marketing and sales of vacations involve complex marketing systems which includes suppliers, both domestic and foreign, wholesalers and tour operators, travel agents and informal travel promoters. Often the negligence of a foreign supplier, i.e., hotel, para-sailing operator, horse or camel stable, tour bus company, air carrier or cruise ship, will be the primary cause of the consumer's injury. Unfortunately such a potential defendants may be irresponsible, insolvent, uninsured or unavailable because of a lack of jurisdiction or the U.S. forum selected is deemed inconvenient. Assuming availability… the potential defendant may be insulated from liability, in whole or in part, because of the application of foreign law, enforceable disclaimers and releases, the Warsaw Convention, U.S. federal and state statutes limiting the liability of cruise ships and hotels and tariffs limiting the liability of carriers. Successful travel litigation depends upon the selection of viable defendants and the application of modern liability theories. This INSIDER EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL discusses the “Rights of Americans” while traveling to exotic locations and liability of tour operators and air carriers for the tour participant's injuries sustained in foreign destinations. Foreign companies cannot solicit U.S. Citizens for adventure trips and not be responsible for their negligent operations on those trips which result in serious, deforming injuries to their U.S. customers.A tour operator may be held liable for the consumer's physical injuries if the tour operator promised…. either expressly or implicitly…. that the tour would be delivered in a safe and careful manner. • Brochure language such as " safe and enjoyable cycling area ", " The tour company’s administration and staff work together to make your stay comfortable, safe” … " suitable for handicapped individuals ", " perfectly safe " canoeing conditions and " safe buses " may generate liability under a breach of warranty theory. • Alternatively, the tour operator may assume a duty to deliver safe travel services. Assumed duties may more readily overcome written disclaimers than a warranty. • Escorted tours feature close supervision and tour coordination provided by professional tour guides. • Older consumers and the parents of students purchase escorted tours. Some sports' tours provide instructors to train and supervise the activities of the participants. • In their brochures tour operators will promise that " every tour will be escorted by a qualified professional tour director...carefully selected and trained...informative…. they know precisely what you will be seeing and doing...they've been there before " and their " tour escort was a professional and qualified to serve travelers in all matters ". Consumers, especially the parents of students, rely upon promises of close supervision in purchasing such a tour. Consumer injuries caused by the negligence of the tour guide may support claims against the tour operator for negligent selection and supervision of tour guides and misrepresentation of their training, expertise and knowledge of the tour locale. AND What happens after the accident? Typically, the injured consumer will be given assistance by the medical staff of the foreign hotel, resort or tour operator. If such medical services are unavailable the consumer may be transported to a recommended foreign doctor, infirmary or hospital. The quality of medical care rendered in foreign locales can exacerbate existing injuries and expose the tour operator to even greater liability. Certainly, domestic carriers have a common law duty to seek proper medical assistance and maintain adequate medical equipment for emergencies.
