On Why He Was Taken Off The Case “The whole renewed investigation was born out of this fear of losing hundreds of millions of dollars in this civil case. That was really the impetus to the whole investigation that I was involved in to begin with. “Once that threat dissipated, the L.A.P.D. said, ‘You know what? We’ve spent enough time and money. We know who killed them. The D.A.’s not going to file charges. So everyone go back to work.’ And the case ended up getting shelved. “I quit [the force] over the matter. That’s how frustrated I was. I was so disappointed that I was being removed on this very ridiculous basis. [Ed. note—Read more about Kading’s Internal Affairs investigation here.] After all that we had done, it was a personal insult. “I could not believe that we had taken the case to near conclusion and then I got removed. They just shelved the whole case after the Wallace camp retracted their lawsuits.” On The L.A.P.D. Saying The Investigation Is Still Open “That’s just lip-service. That’s what a police department is always going to say—not just the L.A.P.D., any police department, about any unsolved murder case. They’re always going to say, ‘Yes, it’s an open investigation. It’s an active investigation,’ but it’s really just a way to appease those types of inquiries. “I can guarantee you that there is no proactive investigation. Those books are on the shelf. If somebody were to call and say, ‘I have information on the Biggie Smalls murder,’ investigators would probably entertain an interview with that. They’re not out doing anything to further the case because they’ve already concluded what happened. “It’s not active, in the sense that you would think that there are investigators out there trying to figure out clues. For all intents and purposes, it’s a stale investigation, that will never be closed—ever.” On The David Mack & Amir Muhammad Theory “The name Amir Muhammad was published in the Los Angeles Times as a suspect in Biggie’s murder. One of the biggest problems in the whole Biggie Smalls murder investigation was that there never was [any mention of] Amir Muhammad. “There was a jailhouse informant in L.A. county jail named Michael Robinson, who provided this very problematic slew of different descriptors of the shooter. But he never mentioned an Amir Muhammad, he ust put down the name Amir. “Actually, Robinson said there was a guy named either Abraham, Ashmir, Amir, Kenny, or Keke. So we actually got fivedifferent names associated with this potential shooter. Then he gives all these other descriptions; He’s this Fruit of Islam guy, he’s from Compton, and all of these different descriptors of the shooter. There was all this exaggeration of information, and a whole theory was built on it, which never had a basis but captured the popular imagination. “Coincidentally, there’s a whole other investigation going on behind a rogue cop named David Mack who had robbed a bank. Russell Poole—the L.A.P.D. investigator, who was investigating Biggie’s murder—finds out about David Mack. There’s these very circumstantial indicators that maybe this rogue cop was involved [in Biggie’s murder]. Coincidentally, Mack has a friend named Amir Muhammad. That circumstantial connection, put this investigator down a rabbit hole. “Now, if Russell Poole would have been responsible with that clue, he would have known that Amir Muhammad a.k.a. Harry Billups could not have been the person that was being discussed in that clue. Harry Billups had no association with Compton, no association with Crips, and no association with the Fruit of Islam. “All of these supporting identifiers disqualify him as a possible suspect. The only thing that Russell Poole has to hold onto is simply four letters: A-M-I-R. That’s it. That’s the only thing that has ever been even circumstantially compelling. And it’s based on Russell Poole’s inability to properly treat a clue. He finds one name: A-M-I-R, and builds a whole theory behind that, because there’s a dirty-cop who has a friend named Amir. “There was all this exaggeration of information, and a whole theory was built on it, which never had a basis but captured the popular imagination. Actually, the individual who brought that information to the L.A.P.D. recanted and said, 'I made it all up. It was all bullshit.’ “Remember, Michael Robinson never says any cop [was involved with the murder]. All the clue is, is an Amir. If you take selective information and you ignore the information that refutes your theory, you can put together a conspiracy theory and convince people of it. You’re just selecting the information that works for you. “The L.A.P.D. always knew the problems with Russell Poole’s theory. They knew his jailhouse informants were discredited, they were unreliable, and they were lying. The L.A.P.D. knew that there was no basis whatsoever to [Poole’s] theory. Even though the public picked up on it and [author/journalist] Randall Sullivan was running with it, with his book LAbyrinth, and Russell Poole had convinced himself that it was such, the L.A.P.D. knew there was nothing behind it.” |
[b]Fifteen years after Biggie's murder, retired detective Greg Kading debunks a few bogus theories and explains why the case will never officially be solved. Kading is neither a journalist nor a conspiracy theorist. A retired L.A.P.D. detective, he was in charge of the special task force that investigated Christopher Wallace’s murder between 2006 and 2009. After Biggie’s mother Voletta Wallace filed suit against the City of Los Angeles and the L.A.P.D.—seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages—the department was highly motivated to solve the case. That’s when Kading got the assignment. After his efforts led to two sworn confessions from people who said they played a part in the killings of Wallace and Shakur, Kading was suddenly pulled off the case. At the time, he was under investigation by L.A.P.D. Internal Affairs for allegedly making false statements on an affidavit in a separate case. However, in the end, Internal Affairs cleared Kading of any wrongdoing. Around the same time, the Wallace family’s lawsuit was dismissed. When the 22-year veteran saw the case he built being shelved, he became so frustrated that he quit the force.[/b] On Biggie’s Murder “Suge Knight was absolutely enraged. Not only had he been shot at, but his friend [Tupac Shakur] was killed next to him in the car. Suge always knew who was responsible. He looked directly into the eyes of Keefe D, who was in the shooter’s car. Keefe D was a member of the Southside Crips and a well known person to Suge. That explains why the next day this huge war broke out in Compton between Suge Knight’s gang entourage and Keefe D’s gang entourage. “Suge Knight ended up going to jail on a probation violation, stemming from the beating of Orlando Anderson [Ed. Note—Anderson is Keefe D’s nephew, also a Southside Crip who allegedly shot Tupac.] in the MGM Grand hotel. While Suge was in jail, he conspired with his girlfriend. Suge gave her the directive to get Poochie. Poochie lay in wait outside the Petersen Automotive Museum. As soon as he became aware of where Biggie was sitting in his car, he drove up, and he shot him. “Wardell ‘Poochie’ Fouse was paid to kill Biggie. At the time, he was a 36-year old member of the Mob Piru Bloods. According to several Death Row insiders and FBI informants, Poochie was a down-for-the-cause, hardcore gang member. Confidential sources from the Death Row entourage, the Mob Pirus, and [Suge’s girlfriend, identified in Kading's book by the alias "Theresa Swann"], said Poochie had done shootings for Suge in the past. Reggie Wright Jr.—who was the head of Death Row security—said Suge and Poochie’s relationship was different than other members of the gang. They had a very secretive and exclusive relationship. “[Suge’s girlfriend] and Poochie agreed to terms. He received two payments, one for $9000 and one for $4000. Poochie lay in wait outside the Petersen Automotive Museum. As soon as he became aware of where Biggie was sitting in his car, he drove up and he shot him.” On Whether The Cases Will Ever Be Solved “It comes down to how you define solved. Both law enforcement agencies—the Las Vegas Police Department and the L.A.P.D.—have drawn the conclusions that Tupac was killed by Orlando Anderson and Biggie Smalls was killed by Wardell ‘Poochie’ Fouse. “Those are the facts within law enforcement. They’re considered solved internally, but the public’s definition of solved is different. They haven’t gone through the judicial process and nobody has been prosecuted. “Both shooters are dead. Orlando Anderson was killed outside a Compton record shop in May 1998. Poochie died in July 2003 as a result of multiple gunshot wounds. He was shot in the back while riding his motorcycle in Compton. He was supposedly killed as a result of in-fighting between the Mob Pirus—Suge’s Blood associates—and another Blood gang known as the Fruit Town Pirus. Both shooters are dead...That’s all the justice that these cases will see. “That’s all the justice that these cases will see. The co-conspirators are never going to be prosecuted. Unfortunately, the cases are so complicated and convoluted. These will never see criminal prosecution. “The co-conspirators are absolutely known and I say that with conviction. I worked directly on these cases for years and know exactly where they stand within law enforcement. They would be very problematic prosecutions because of all of the convoluted peripheral issues that were raised during the investigation. “The D.A. in Los Angeles knows that this is an extremely difficult situation to try and prosecute. Here’s the problem; You’ve got [Suge’s girlfriend] confessing, and then, there was a bad move by law enforcement to give her immunity. The shooter’s dead, the female confessor has immunity, so you just have Suge Knight. “The D.A.’s office in Los Angeles has a policy: They don’t prosecute murders based on the testimony of one witness, which is now just the girlfriend. So the D.A.’s realizing, ‘OK, what are we going to do? We’re going to prosecute Suge Knight for solicitation of murder and the whole thing’s based on the testimony of his girlfriend? We can bring in all this circumstantial stuff and we can bring in the history between these crews, but ultimately, a good defense attorney’s going to say, Hey isn’t this all just an elaborate cover-up, because the L.A.P.D. actually murdered Biggie?’ The defense is going to try and turn the thing back around. So the D.A. realizes that there’s not really a potential for a successful prosecution.” |

I witnessed a "Yellow fever" smash his baton on the head of an okada rider yesterday! The rider just fell, fainted under the hot sun! The cop walked back to controlling traffic as if nothing happened while road side market women rushed to pour "pure water" on his head. As I passed through, I just kept wondering what I would do to the warder if I successfully rise up from my "fainting" as the rider. |
@Callotti, Loius Ojukwu owned a bank, was he a slave trader too? |
Shakur mastered every element, every aspect of rapping- Bishop Lamont Shakur was a master of the flow.- Fredro Starr of Onyx Shakur spoke with brilliance and insight as someone who bears witness to the pain of those who would never have his platform. He told the truth, even as he struggled with the fragments of his identity.-Michael Eric Dyson Every rapper who grew up in the Nineties owes something to Tupac. He didn't sound like anyone who came before him."-50 Cent State University of New York at Buffalo English professor Mark Anthony Neal argued that Shakur was an example of the "organic intellectual" expressing the concerns of a larger group.He also indicated that the death of Shakur has left a "l[b]eadership void amongst hip-hop artists.[/b]" He describes Tupac as a "walking contradiction", a status that allowed him to "make being an intellectual accessible to ordinary people." Professor of Communications Murray Forman, of Northeastern University, stressed that the fans have succeeded in resurrecting Tupac as an ethereal life force." Professor of Music at Northeastern University, Emmett Price, compared Shakur's public image to that of the trickster-figures of African-American folklore which gave rise to the urban "bad-man" persona of the post-slavery period. He ultimately described Shakur as a "prolific artist" who was "driven by a terrible sense of urgency" in a quest to "unify mind, body, and spirit" |

Iliya John, an eyewitness who saw the police helicopter that crash landed at Kabong area of Gada Biyu yesterday, said some of the residents who noticed that the chopper had problem, followed it until it finally crashed. A Deputy Inspector General of Police, John Haruna and three others were killed in the crash. John, who was spoke to our correspondent in Jos yesterday, said , “We all saw the aircraft when it was flying very low, people quickly noticed there was something wrong with the aircraft and some started to follow it shouting warning to people because it was flying very low. “People first started coming out and pointing at the way it was flying so low, it was not as the normal ones (helicopters) that we see every day flying very high up in the sky.” John said it was by the grace of the God that the aircraft did not kill civilians, pointing out that the helicopter emitted a very loud sound to probably forewarn residents. He said, “the reason why the aircraft did not record high civilian casualty most especially in the houses that it feel on was because most people have gone to work while others have left for one errand.” According to him, the people in the Kabong area have never witnessed such a tragic incident, adding that the way the aircraft crashed and caught fire “there was no way the occupants could have survived.” http://dailytrust.com.ng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=157174%3Awe-followed-the-chopper-until-it-crashed-witness&catid=1%3Anews&Itemid=2 |
After making so much money, They are all running away from paying tithe to their pastor!!!!! |
Yeah, cos some people dey spread bedsheet for 3MB!!! |
1025: i don't trust pdp and i don't trust nigerian police. i don't believe that these kids killed those foreigners. na big lie. nigerian police once paraded goats claiming that those goats are armed robbers that turned to goats. what a shame of a country. who can remember how many ppl this same sss has paraded in the past as the killers of bola ige. na wayo. make the world no believe them.Like a young man that innocently strolled out to buy milk for his new born kid at Mafoluku. He was picked up for wandering and paraded as a suspected Funsho Willams killer years later. The system can't arrest criminals. Innocents are sold at Panti as "suspect". Pay the right price, you'll get away with any crime including Murder. Just like all the ND criminals are either living it big on government in ABUJA or bunkering in the creeks, the men behind Boko Haram are known and can never be arrested. It's that sickening! |
Whao! Just like the scammers claimed to have converted A̶̲̥̅ so called Ado Bayero's Son ãήϑ Top Boko Chieftain. From A̶̲̥̅ religion of scammers ãήϑ gays τ̲̅ȍ terrorism! Whao! |

He has changed police uniform to camou! |
blacksta: so you are advising that he or she should come back to be part of illegalityWhat is wrong in defending Abubakar Atiku, Uzor Kalu or Dimeji Bankole in court! She's going to get paid for doing her job and since she knows they are worth billions, there is absolutely nothing wrong billing them billions as well. |

With the situation of things in Nigeria at the moment, I'll advise you to come back home. If your folks have good connections or destiny gets you through- you are in for some big dough. Big time lawyers now legally own a large chunk of illegally acquired wealth of our politicians. In-fact, most of our judges(definitely civil servants) are now billionaires or run their own oil-well. As a lawyer you can get involved in the too many under-ground deals getting rolled out daily. From "new licence plates" to "new camous for police". Down here, a set of camou(shirt and trouser) might cost as high 300K officially. But if your luck no shine, you'll end up setting up a chair under a tree in a magistrate court running "Charge and Bail"!! Oriii ni men!! |
No potholes on my street again! |
Mubi – A police inspector, a soldier and four other persons were killed in a Monday night attack by unidentified gunmen in Mubi, Adamawa. Eyewitnesses told journalists in Mubi that a unit of military patrol team were also attacked by the gunmen, injuring the men on duty. The witnesses said that unidentified gunmen attacked a military patrol vehicle on Ahmadu Bello Way in Mubi. The attack was followed by multiple explosions and sporadic gunfire, which started at about 7.30 p.m. and lasted throughout the night in various parts of the town. The witnesses said that some of the gunmen were riding in a car while others were on motorcycles. One of the witnessed, Malam Bala Muhammad, told reporters that, the gunmen, riding in a car detonated an explosive device and opened fire on the moving military patrol vehicle. He said that the soldiers, who were under heavy gun attack, responded to the fire in self-defence, adding that one soldier was killed and four others wounded in the surprise attack. Muhammad said, “the gunmen fled the area, leaving one soldier killed and four others wounded. One police officer and other persons were also killed in the attack. “We could not ascertain the identities of the four persons, whether they were pedestrians or gunmen.” When contacted Tuesday, the Adamawa Commissioner of Police, Mr Aderene Shinaba, referred journalists to the command’s Public Relation Officer (PPRO) Mrs Altine Daniel. But Daniel said that the command would address the press on the incident later on Tuesday. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/03/police-inspector-soldier-4-others-killed-in-adamawa/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter |
