| 28 seconds : The Killing of Fouad Kaady (Part 1 of 5) |
 |
In the early afternoon of September 8, 2005,
police encountered Fouad Kaady shortly after
he was in an accident that left him in shock
and bleeding, burned over much of his body.
Rather than calling for medical help, the
police commanded him to lie on the pavement,
even though they could see the burned flesh
hanging from his body, and even though they
said he appeared to be "in a catatonic
state." When he did not comply with their
orders, but instead continued to sit on the
ground in a daze, they tasered him
repeatedly. And then, they shot him to death.
In a report that was typical of the corporate
media's response to this killing, Channel 8's
ever-mealy-mouthed Kyle Iboshi held up a wad
of papers left over from the "investigation"
into the death, saying, "you can see how
extensive this investigation was." He then
commenced to highlight (literally, with a
yellow highlighter pen) what he claimed to be
the relevant details of the case. Not
surprisingly, Iboshi was very selective in
what he chose to focus on. He accepted,
without question, everything that the PIO had
told him to say. He never asked a single
question about why two officers might have
shot an obviously unarmed man to death. And,
he concluded his report by implying that
Kaady must have been "on drugs" at the time
of the killing, as if that might excuse the
officers' behavior.
And so, in a pattern of violence that is
repeated almost every day in this country,
the police got away with murder. So far,
anyway. They did so because they have the
power and the authority to carry guns and to
use them, and to avoid facing the
consequences of their actions. And, they got
away with it because the complicit corporate
media helped them to weave a story that would
lull the public into silence. As in so many
incidents like this one, they told a story
that was engineered to cause people to blame
the victim, and accept the violence. No
questions asked.
The truth about what happened to Fouad Kaady
is important. It's important to bear witness
when a member of our community is cut down
like this. It's important to stand up for the
person he might have been, rather than
accepting the media's portrayal of him as
merely some drug-crazed monster who "had it
coming." It's important to know just how deep
the culture of police violence runs through
our cities and towns, and just how
fist-in-glove the corporate media has been
with the police state. And that's why this
video is important. Even if you think you
know the story, you're not going to believe
this. Over the course of a year and a half,
Videoistas painfully and meticulously
gathered evidence, combed through records and
reports, spoke with witnesses, and pieced
together the real story. It's much more
disturbing than what you might have seen on
KATU, but it's the truth. And the least we
can do for a fallen comrade is to take the
time to learn the truth about what really
happened to him.
Believe it or not, this story is told in the
officers' own words. And you won't even
believe what you hear.
