It's a bad idea to be black in Scranton, you just might get shot by four pigs with nothing better to do.
On May 29, 2009, four upstanding ScrantonPolice Officers were enjoying a round of manlove at the local Clarion Hotel when one of them thought it would be fun to huff poppers and drive around the north section of town looking for niggers to shoot.
After a few hours, our lovely protagonists came across a black woman on her front porch with a cardboard sign that read, "Help me commit suicide." Only too happy to oblige, the pigs shot her up like Isabella Valentine at a crack infested male-dominated KKK rally, giving her the exit out of life she always dreamed of.
8999 internets go to Brenda Williams for getting the police to do her dirty work for her! Nope, one shy. She had a knife. They had four guns. And she would never post her noodz on /b/ again.
The amazing facet of truth regarding this situation would be the lack of information released to the public by the SPD regarding this incident and any other lulz that may have perpetrated, since it's always a fun time when local pigs are granted the right to kill any citizen of this fine city.
brenda is my couzin and i miss her and i wan’t to know the cops who shot her. my nana jeanne lewis is sad my dad ellis lewis is really sad and mad my aunt louwize is wich brenda williams mother is and my cuz alona williams wich is brenda’s dauter thank you p.s. i don’t i spelled every thing rite
Scranton police officers responded to a disturbance call last Thursday (srsly it was) in the north section of town. Upon entering the front of the property, one of the pigs noticed a nigger on the porch dancing to the newest Lady Gaga single, Cat Baker, in honor of fellow fake New Yorker Cheyenne Cherry. Deducing that this lady must be selling crack off her porch due to her skin color, the officers approached the nigger with the intention of sexing it up for some white fun time. However, the suspect didn't wish to share her alleged crack with freeloaders, so she ran for her life into her front door, at which time all four cops whipped out their guns and proceeded to make a nigger golf course for the children.
None of the neighbors who witnessed the tragedy actually heard any of the shots fired. After being interviewed by the Times Tribune one brave soul admitted that he overheard one of the officers commenting, "We can always say we did it for the lulz." Another witness incorrectly identified the shots as snare hits from the Lady Gaga single, which is why she so quickly dialed 911.

Oh that's right, NOBODY TRUSTS SCRANTON COPS BECAUSE THEY KILL PEOPLE.

Shot Me In My Own F@%#ing house
They kill her on her front porch and don't even have the common decency to rape her beforehand.A colored photo of Brenda Williams is now available thanks to the National Alliance and Metapedia. *chuckle* Only in Americunt, kids.The only witness to this terrible crime.
Anonymous has discovered through many hours of rigorous investigation that the four officers shot Ms. Williams because she allegedly had brandished a knife. Now, no one on Earth knows why in the fuck this nigger was allowed to carry a knife, as it is common knowledge niggers are banned from carrying anything in their possession except Jenkem and shitty dimebags to sell for Tom Serson. Equally puzzling is the lack of initiative on the part of the police officers, who clearly were too much of a bunch of pussies to take down a 52-year old black lady without shooting her to death.
Another interesting fact is that Brenda was a retired Air Force veteran with a history of mental illness. Clearly she has fit the stereotype of an active member of the United States Military. Upon discovering this information, welfare officials should have sent her to the projects to live with the rest of the hood rats, but mistakes were made and four lucky nigger-hating cops had a wonderful time using her as a human target!
It's plain as day that the Scranton PD cooked this up for the lulz, since it serves no other purpose than to end up as gossip fodder on The View.
Shut Up, Matlock
Yes, we killed a nigger. Yes, we're proud of it.
Upon hearing the news that a black woman was shot in his city, Scranton PD Chief David Elliot who can be reached via telephone at (570) 348-4130 (Hey, it's public information!) went apeshit and snorted two tons of heroin to calm down. After he was able to squeeze out a few loads into Celine Dion's face, Elliot held a press conference where he informed the public that:
the four officers involved were being placed on paid leave during the investigation,
and finally; the officers did what they did for the lulz.
Steve Corbett, Voice Of The Dead
Defender of the lulz butthurt, Steve Corbett, crying his liberal eyes out for the oppressed nigger citizens of Scranton. Where is the justice? Where is it?Attention all niggers: Come here to get shot to death by our local friendly piggie pies!
WILK-FM radio personality/all around liberal whinerSteve Corbett has taken it upon himself to dig up any and all lulz that has permeated the Northeastern Pennsylvania area since the advent of Christianity and Wendy's drive thru. Among the many articles available on his site (for example, disgraced Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella, who took it upon himself to build a kiddy slave land with all the juvenile delinquents showing up in his courtroom) there are three in particular that talk about Brenda's murder by four white cops.
Did we mention that a nigger was shot by FOUR WHITECOPS? LOLOLolol!!!111oneone1
You Want Answers? We Got Answers
This is the glorious Police Chief of Scranton, David Elliot, reading the new copy of Hustler to his fine constituents.
On June 1st, 2009, Steve Corbett posted an article on his blog entitled, Police Shooting Sparks Many Questions. Since the Scranton PD wasn't talking due to being afraid of having themselves posted on Jew like Cheyenne Cherry, Anonymous decided to contact Chief Elliot to set up a meeting on IRC and get to the bottom of it once and for all.

Even in death, Brenda Williams extended great dignity and power to those who found themselves in her presence. At eternal rest in her coffin in the sad hour before her funeral service, her face reflected a silent grace, offering quiet solace for those who stood before her to pay a final respect.
Scranton police shot and killed Williams last week in her second-floor apartment after responding to a report of a disturbance. Details are sketchy while Pennsylvania State Police conduct an investigation. Williams wielded a knife, according to newspaper reports, although no police official has publicly confirmed that fact. What is confirmed is that Williams was a troubled woman who suffered from mental illness, a 52-year-old Air Force veteran who needed help.
Instead, she found death at the hands of police.
Standing before her coffin yesterday, I looked at the photograph of Williams that family had balanced against the soft casket satin. Wearing a big smile, Williams posed in her military uniform and seemed to have the world at her fingertips. Looking at her folded hands, I knew that her fingertips now remained still forever. No more would she tickle the keys of the alto saxophone she once played so well. No more would she hold her daughter who sat in the front row of the church during services with wet tears streaming down her cheeks.
Now the city where Williams lived all her life will forever frame a tragedy that left her in a pool of blood that poured from her body when the gunfire stopped.
Four Scranton police officers remain on paid leave until the investigation is finished. Williams is dead and gone. But the power of community that speaker after speaker stressed during her funeral remains. That power serves as a beacon that guides the search for truth for the many God-fearing family members and friends who now expect answers to the many unanswered questions that make Williams’ death all the harder to understand.
Too many versions of what happened are circulating throughout the city. And there is no way to avoid pointing out the stark fact that four white men killed this black woman who might have lived if only the professionals on the scene had found another way.
Second-guessing the cops will draw criticism. But unless we second-guess the cops this sad and violent act might happen again. PSP will hopefully second-guess every move the officers on the scene made. Unless that happens another mentally ill resident of this city might fall in a burst of bullets that with training might be avoided.
Scranton police simply do not receive enough training to handle what cops call EDPs, emotionally disturbed persons.
Standing in the rear of the church yesterday, I listened to a wise church elder and former pastor reassure the congregation that the truth will set us free. “If it doesn’t come out in the wash, it will come out in the rinse,” he said to laughter that broke the somber tension that filled the church. I sensed a growing confidence that will be necessary to take on the system that I expect to be less than forthcoming with the answers that are required for everyone to learn from what Williams’ brother called a “senseless” act.
Yesterday, Williams’ lifeless body helped provide power to those who felt her spirit, a power that will be imperative for those who want to carry the torch of truth and shine it on every incident where police respond to a call for help. Death often nurtures the quest for social justice. Sometimes enemies become friends. Sometimes friends become enemies. In this case, the end must become the beginning as we ask ourselves over and over again, “Who speaks for Brenda Williams?” We must look ourselves in the mirror and ask if we truly care about each other and about the city we love. We must reflect on what went wrong last week. We must promise to do our best to help rather than hurt.
Williams now dwells in what a pastor yesterday called “her mansion.” We must now ask ourselves what we plan to do about this sad and violent place that we call home. Life and death hang in the balance of our response.
[[TL;DR]] '''Summary:''' Four cops killed an alleged /b/tard with a knife and got away with it. [[Whambulance|WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]]
The Truth (And Lulz) Behind The IRL Banhammer
Srsly if you image Google "Erin L. Nissley Scranton Times" this is the first picture that comes up. loldThis guy experienced butthurt because that Ray Hayes dude took his job. Nigga please! You just mad you wasn't there to pull the trigger. So stop frontin' and get to steppin'.
Upon examing the evidence gathered by internet detectives, the following lulzy tidbits of information come to light regarding Brenda Williams' killing. We can't call it a murder because that would be libel, but hey, if the glove fits, right?
Killing Black Women Is Serious Business
For all Mensa-reject n00b hippies, we've taken the care of eliminating the TL;DR crap and getting down to serious business. The following are IRLquotes taken from an article written by Scranton Times Staff Writer Erin L. Nissley:
On Wednesday, city Police Chief David Elliot released information about Brenda Williams' prior contact with Scranton police. The 52-year-old woman was shot and killed May 28 after police responded to her North Lincoln Avenue apartment, where she was allegedly brandishing a knife.
A Scranton police officer involved in the fatal shooting had contact with her less than a week before she was killed, Chief Elliott said.
Ms. Williams had made 17 calls to police in the last 11 years, starting with a call April 14, 1998, when she allegedly threatened to commit suicide.
Chief Elliott refused to identify the officer who had contact with Ms. Williams prior to the shooting, nor would he comment on whether the prior contact played any part in how the officers responded to the May 28 call. Ms. Williams was reportedly wielding a knife when she was shot after four officers responded to her apartment for what Chief Elliott has described as a mental health check.
Ms. Williams' brother, Myron B. Williams, said Wednesday that his sister made the calls out of concern for her daughter, however unfounded her fears. "The welfare of her child was of number one importance," he said. "That was first and foremost in her thinking." FUCKKK THE CHILD WAS THERE WHEN SHE WAS SHAWT!!! ULTIMATE PWN!!!'
The Times-Tribune's comment forums (convienently available at the end of each article) lit up with both butthurt Republicunts and pizza raping lulz defenders as the flame war ignited, blowing up like Hiroshima 2.0 in Israel. Everyone's pissed at the newspaper, the cops, the blacks and Jews.
Without them releasing any details at all, it makes them look like they are guilty, or have something to hide. It seems that something is wrong with the Scranton Police. They often make the news for all the wrong reasons, i.e. a police officer selling drugs, Police captain calling female officers nasty names, police officer arresting a woman for cussing at her toilet, and now this. This has been the third time in seven years that the Scranton Police have done this. I'm sure other regional cities like Wilkes-Barre, Mexican, and Williamsport routinely deal with these same sorts of instances that the Scranton Police do, yet these cities have zero police shootings to Scranton's three in seven years. Maybe they aren't screening new hires well enough, maybe thier training is sub-par, maybe it is time for a new chief. Whatever it may be, I believe they need to do an overhaul of thier police department.
Shoot to kill or shoot to maim? What is faster a bullet or a knife? Is it more humane to wound a person or end their life? Would a shot in the shoulder have the same effect? Scranton cops are trigger happy murderers and should be treated as such.
„
—Mental Health Advocate, pwning the dirty pigs
“
If four police officers are unable to subdue one mentally challenged woman without killing her, the entire department needs a thorough investigation as to skills, judgment and professionalism. This is one more black mark against Scranton that will eventually reach national news. And maybe that's where this story needs to go, out of this do-nothing, one hand washes the other environment.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: You people need to come to terms with the fact that not all cops are bad. Screw "all", MOST aren't bad. Are there bad doctors? Yes. That doesn't mean all doctors are bad. Are there bad lawyers? Yes. That doesn't mean all lawyers are bad. (I mean at their practice, not them in general) Are there bad "insert profession here"? Yes. But that doesn't mean there every single person in this world is bad at what they do. To whomever mentioned the policeman selling oxycontin....what does that have to do with anything? He got caught and is paying for it now. Does that mean all cops are drug dealers? Please...do me a favor: Take your heads out of your butts and wake up to the fact that cops are here to protect and to put the bad guys/girls away. Doesn't mean there can't be bad apples, but you get my point. Let's play a little game. Tomorrow are 7:00am let's announce to the world that the Scranton police is being pulled off the streets for 24 hours and they have no police powers at all in that time. What would happen? You all know what would.... Chaos. So, next time you think to say all cops are bad and the Scranton Police are all drug dealing murderers, think about my little hypothetical situation. You might think twice...
„
—Jim G., fagging up the internets
“
I would be happy to see the Scranton PD pulled off the streets for 24 hours. Maybe the murder rate would drop, amirite?
You know whats pretty funny.. All you people always putting down the police. Thats funny.. Maybe they should get rid of all the police men and women. Then what are you babys gonna do when someone is robbing your home or stealing your car or selling your kids drugs. Then who you gonna call. You people need to grow up and get all information befor you start pointing fingers.. And the best part is you would be the first ones crying when no police show up to help you. The people in the city of Scranton need to grow up..
„
—Jeff, whining like a little faggot
“
Also another thing you people keep saying because they were whit and she was black. Thats all you niggers do is play that dam racist card.. But it would be a different story if the cops were black and the victim was white. Thats ok though... And also you say there could have been a better way of handeling this because there 4 of them and one of her. Did you ever see someone who has a mental problem with a weapon?? I have and its not all cracked up what you think it is. I'll tell you what someone was coming at me with a weapon you better bet id be shooting also.
„
—Jeff, still whining like a little faggot
“
So, if she was weilding a knife at the time...what is there to investigate? Mrs. Williams was shot because she posed a threat to the officers and herself. My Belssings to the SPD. They did their job, unfortunately this woman decided to weild a knife at officers and was shot.
„
—Mike, another furfag who proves Scrantonians posses shit spelling
“
all of you people are out of your mind. how about you get your facts strait and understand the fact that a person charged at a police officer with a knife. if a police officer was not trained to react to a deadly situation look at some of the terrrible outcomes that could arise. Quoteing what Marty said "a police officer should be able to handle an adversary with a knife WITHOUT using deadly force". You are an idiot if you believe that or think that. I am done with this argument. SPD is a fully trained and well maintained police agency. Its unfortunate for both sides what happened..
„
—DA, upping the faggotry
“
That's b/c Elliott is the Chief. That moron just needs to STFU and quit covering up this incident. Why can't they say who on the police force she talked to, and i understand why they're not releasing their names, b/c there's alot of p.o.'ed people.
What purpose would it serve to release, as the editor calls it, preliminary information, like how many officers and how many shots fired? Without the entire story, information such as that sought by the Times, would only serve to inflame the situation more than it already is. Maybe that is the intent of this newspaper, to perpetrate this as long as they can. After all, it does sell newspapers. Now who is guilty of wrong here, the police or the media.
„
—Rolo Tomassi, burning down the house
“
In the world of police work there is what has become known as the ‘21-feet’ rule. Simply put, if a person has a knife and is 21 feet away from you, and he decides to initiate an attack, he can easily cover the distance in 1.5 seconds. Consider this: If you have a holstered gun and you are very well trained in a quick draw, you can likely draw and fire your weapon in a 1-to-1.1 seconds. The second shot goes off about 2/10’s of a second later. The third shot is released in another 2/10’s of a second. if someone standing 21 feet away attacks you with a knife, he will strike his target in 1.5 seconds. You, on the other hand, in that same 1.5 seconds are lucky to draw and fire one or maybe two shots. Unfortunate the Times never bothered to print the above facts
„
—anna, moar like andrew since there are no girls on the internet
“
Just from what has already been reported, four police officers were not able to handle a situation with a mentally challenged woman without resorting to killing her. How many other details are needed? Four on one and they couldn't manage a better resolution. I think the people of Scranton should think twice before they call in the police.
Yeah i agree with alot of you. Something different definitely could have been done. I think the Scranton police are more rogue now with a rogue police chief than they ever have been. Anyone remember a cop around 2 years ago selling oxycontin and methadone IN HIS UNIFORM? See, that's what i'm talking about. The SPD is above the law now. I think I.A. needs to be called in to take a look at the SPD.
Look, they Scranton Cops did wrong lets all get over it. This women was shot 6 times in the chest by 3 of the officers on paid leave. The 4th whom is 6'5 well over 300 lbs did not fire I guess he did not feel she was a threat as the other three did. The Williams family we be sitting pretty after this is all said and done. People lets move on did you forget where you live?
„
—Dave, 06/11/09 - 9:30PM, who forgot where he lived
“
No, let's NOT get over it. Someone needs to teach these Scranton cops a lesson and if its own internal policing division can't handle it then the federal government can get involved. This has nothing to do with the race card, this is about the abuse of power granted by the very oaths police take. Cops have too much power and not enough training, common sense or both and as citizens we need to take a stand! I urge the Williams family not to take this lying down. I for one can't say I can trust my life in a Scranton cop's hands, not after this. Three times is enough.

—Steven, 06/11/09 - 11:18PM, the only smart poster in this shitty thread

It amazes me how all you people know what happened to poor Brenda and the poor police officers and I was there and I dont know what happened. All I know is a sweet quiet woman who use to play with my dog and kiss him, is dead. I miss Brenda and wish I could have helped her, but I saw her on Monday and Tuesday and she was a little aggitated but calm. I was there when she talked to her mother Monday night, and she was calm. So when did she get so out of hand, that the police came banging at her door when she was upstairs on her couch. I dont know what happened and I was right there.
„
—Confused, 06/11/09 - 11:43PM, needs to get off the rock
“
You people must be delusional too. Where does it say she was hit 6times in the chest? You want police to be social workers and psychologist too? One of the cops was 6'5" How do you know that? How do any of you know what happened there unless you were there? Now why aren't all you big mouth idiots raising a stink that a black muslim shot two soldiers on recruiting duty. The did not have a knife? Why aren't you raising a stink that a black man killed a 1 year old infant by beating the child to death?

—Santo, 06/12/09 - 3:28AM, proving mexicans should not have opinions
Some argue that Dave is actually one of the Scranton cops involved in this shooting posting, or a witness to the crime too chickenshit to come forward. Others say he's telling the absolute truth. As long as they did it for the lulz, does it really matter?
Mr. Jarbola said Mr. Jarbola said Mr. Jarbola said
The man, the myth, the lulzkiller; Andy Jarbola.
On June 15, 2009, Lackawanna County DA Andy Jarbola announced to his scat brethren (and then after that, the city of Scranton) that the whole kit and caboodle was completely and totally for the lulz. In their version of leetspeak, this means the shooting was justified, or the cops were high on too much Jenkem and forgot to call the mental health professionals.
The following facts were garnered from an article in the Scranton Times (rearing its ugly head to smell up the roller-skating rink of journalism);
She was shot multiple times the night of May 28 after officers responded to her North Lincoln Avenue apartment for a mental health check.
Mr. Jarbola identified the four officers who were at the apartment as Cpl. Robert Stanek, a 16-year veteran who was the supervisor at the scene; Officer James Smith, an 11-year veteran who had had previous contact with Ms. Williams, and Officers Jason Knoch and Eric Jordan, who have been on the force for just over a year. Eric isn't apparently cool enough to have the word Officer next to his name, so that means he is the catcher and Jason is the pitcher. How cute!
Mr. Jarbola said officers were preparing to cite Ms. Williams for disorderly conduct when she went to the kitchen of her apartment and returned with a knife, similar to a chef's knife, with an 8-inch blade.
As she approached Officer Smith with the knife extended in front of her, police commanded her to drop the weapon, Mr. Jarbola said. When she did not, three officers opened fire, wounding her five times, Ms. Williams also was wounded by falling on the knife. ZOMG HOW DO I SHOT KNIFE
Officers Smith and Knoch fired their weapons twice, and Cpl. Stanek fired his once, the DA said. This is another example of hearing "Mr. Jarbola said, Mr. Jarbola said, Mr. Jarbola said, Mr. Jarbola said.", enough to drive a /b/tard to lulzcide.
Some argue that DA Jarbola completed a very thorough investigation with the best intent of finding out the truth. Internet tough guys and girls who can uses computer in Scranton knew better and called bullshit on his faggotry.
The lollercoaster was on!
