Police Launch Internal Affairs Investigation Into Baby Injured In Pensacola Police Custody

I talk about the cor­rup­tion and down­right dis­hon­esty of police offi­cers, their depart­ments, pros­e­cu­tors, and even judges in this forum, and on the rare occa­sion they get it right, I men­tion that too.
However, as you have seen in the case of Amir Locke, who was mur­dered as he emerged from sleep in Minneapolis, courts allow police to break into the homes of inno­cent cit­i­zens and mur­der them with­out consequence.
They did it to Breonna Taylor, who had noth­ing to do with their war­rant, and then arrest­ed and pinned attempt­ed mur­der of a police offi­cer charges on her boyfriend because he dared to defend his home as is his God-giv­en and con­sti­tu­tion­al right to do.
If a fly buzzes past them, that fly is swat­ted down, and charges are pinned against it, but when they wan­ton­ly mur­der inno­cent cit­i­zens, it takes mov­ing moun­tains to have charges prof­fered against them, even when they com­mit the most bla­tant and egre­gious acts of criminality.
Here again, in the case below is anoth­er instance of police going to a home, and when the occu­pant opens fire at them (not know­ing they are state actors) the inno­cent is charged with attempt­ed mur­der of a law enforce­ment offi­cer, and the cor­rupt pros­e­cu­tors are will­ing to pros­e­cute the case against an inno­cent person.
This is lit­er­al­ly one of the most cor­rupt sys­tems of jus­tice any­place on plan­et earth. 
When cit­i­zens have no right to defend even the sanc­ti­ty of their own homes, you know, we are liv­ing in a full-fledged police state. (MB)

The Pensacola Police Department says it has launched an inter­nal affairs inves­ti­ga­tion after par­ents say a child was hurt while in police cus­tody fol­low­ing last week’s police-involved shoot­ing. It hap­pened after Pensacola Police SWAT offi­cers exe­cut­ed a search war­rant last Thursday morn­ing at a home on N 7^th Ave. Channel 3 has report­ed exten­sive­ly how 24-year-old Corey Marioneaux Jr. has been charged for shoot­ing at one of the SWAT offi­cers after they rammed his door.

Marioneaux Jr.‘s two young chil­dren — ages 1 and 3 — were inside the home at the time. The fam­i­ly argues Marioneaux Jr. shot at the offi­cers because he feared they were intrud­ers. Channel 3 sat down with the kids’ moth­er, Moiya Dixon, on Wednesday. “I was wok­en up by a phone call,” said Dixon, who co-par­ents with Marioneaux Jr. At 5 a.m. last Thursday, the chil­dren — Caion and Cylen — were asleep with their dad at the N 7^th Ave. home. Dixon says she was asleep at her own home. Receiving the alarm­ing phone call, fam­i­ly told her what they knew. Among the info relayed was that her 1‑year-old was injured. “I get out my car like, ‘Where’s my baby? Where’s my baby?’ ” Dixon said. “And I get my baby and I see his face — and it’s almost unrec­og­niz­able com­pared to how he looked when I left him last.” A pic­ture shows the 1‑year-old’s nose and lip swollen, a scrape on his lip, scratch­es on his nose and sev­er­al bumps on his fore­head. Dixon’s first thought — “Who did this?” On Monday, the Pensacola Police Department sent Channel 3 a state­ment on the child’s injuries. The depart­ment claims both kids were in the back­seat of a car with an inves­ti­ga­tor. The inves­ti­ga­tor got out of the car. Upon return­ing, Pensacola Police says the inves­ti­ga­tor did­n’t notice the child lean­ing on the door. When the inves­ti­ga­tor opened it, police say the child fell out of the car.

Meanwhile, the father still faces a charge for attempt­ed mur­der of a law enforce­ment offi­cer and lost his job over it. None of them know why police want infor­ma­tion from them for an inves­ti­ga­tion they say Corey Marioneaux isn’t a sus­pect for.

“The child was checked by EMS for injuries. Both chil­dren were lat­er released to fam­i­ly mem­bers,” Pensacola Police goes on to say in its state­ment. Escambia County tells Channel 3 that EMS was called out at 6:40 a.m. for a hem­or­rhage and lac­er­a­tion on a tod­dler. They arrived six min­utes lat­er. The coun­ty could­n’t spec­i­fy what EMS saw and said. But it claims the call was can­celed 20 min­utes lat­er. The tod­dler was not tak­en to the hos­pi­tal by EMS — so Dixon took him her­self. Dozens of pages of paper­work from the hos­pi­tal doc­u­ment the child’s injuries after CAT scans and x‑rays. Dixon claims the Florida Department of Children and Families is inves­ti­gat­ing. DCF has not yet con­firmed this with Channel 3.

Channel 3 asked Dixon on Wednesday what she would say to the Pensacola Police Department. “How could you?” she respond­ed. Channel 3 brought Dixon’s ques­tions to Pensacola Police on Wednesday after the inter­view. The depart­ment said they could­n’t answer them because it has launched an inter­nal affairs inves­ti­ga­tion. Additionally, Pensacola Police called off Channel 3’s sched­uled inter­view with Chief Eric Randall that was set for Friday. Chief Randall met with Dixon in-per­son right after Channel 3’s inter­view and “had a con­ver­sa­tion with her,” accord­ing to police. Dixon says he apol­o­gized and promised to inves­ti­gate what hap­pened. “It’s been very dis­turb­ing and over­whelm­ing not know­ing the truth of what hap­pened to my 1‑year-old,” Dixon said. “My 3‑year-old is trau­ma­tized,” she added. “He keeps hav­ing to tell the sto­ry of what his 3‑year-old brain can com­pre­hend of what hap­pened to his baby broth­er. That is hor­ri­fy­ing.” Channel 3 asked Wednesday to speak with Marioneaux Jr. on cam­era, but he declined. He faces a charge of attempt­ed mur­der of a law enforce­ment offi­cer — which he lost his job over. “On top of all of his charges, he has to also think, ‘Now some­body hurt my baby,’ ” Dixon said.

Marioneaux Jr. does­n’t have a crim­i­nal record. Pensacola Police says he is not a sus­pect in the January shoot­ing inves­ti­ga­tion that led police to his home last Thursday morn­ing. Dixon says she has no idea why police would want infor­ma­tion in his home. The fam­i­ly now sim­ply wants answers — what led police to the house and how did their baby boy end up injured in police cus­tody? Channel 3 asked Dixon Wednesday whether they plan to take any legal action. Dixon says they are cur­rent­ly busy try­ing to fig­ure out sim­ple things, like where to sleep. She added they don’t live at the N 7^th Ave. home any­more because they don’t feel safe.
