Rocky Ford, CO – Shades Of Ferguson
Last Sunday, James Ashby killed 27-year old Jack Jacquez in Jacquez’s home. No one knows why Ashby came to Jack’s house. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Rocky Ford Police Department have remained silent. That might be due to James Ashby being a police officer.
Jack Jacquez
Jack’s family and friends say that he was shot in the back, but even that news did not come from the police but rather, from workers at the hospital where Jack was taken.
About 200 people got together in the small town of Rocky Ford, Colorado to protest, marching to the police station to get answers. Authorities aren’t talking to them. They are not even telling them what they are doing – but James Ashby is on paid vacation.
The protests pattern those in Ferguson. Yes, the nation and the world have embraced the reality that what happened to Michael Brown was wrong. “Hands up. Don’t Shoot” is being repeated in Rocky Ford, CO, and even Hong Kong, because of Michael Brown. Now, it is no longer Blacks who are marching while chanting “No Justice. No Peace.” People of every color are fed up that cops can kill, go on paid vacation, and authorities are silent, adding to the trauma and grief of victims’ families, friends, their communities – our nation.
People of all walks of life are coming together, but sadly it is because of death by cop.
Update
On June 23, 2016, former Rocky Ford police office Jame Ashby who killed Jack, was convicted of second-degree murder in the 2014 slaying.

You can bet there will be those who will support the police, Jack’s FB page shows he used marijuana and because he isn’t ‘White White’.. As if that matters.
It shouldn’t matter. Marijuana doesn’t make folks violent. His family says the officer forced his way into the house, the hospital says Jacks was shot twice in the back. The family says they were pepper sprayed. Another officer given a paid vacation for having killed someone. This sh*t has got to stop. ( I wonder if the officer has a gofundme page yet)

This can happen to anyone of us, I know Shyloh. We had a case here in my little town where a woman slept in her car after the ‘bar closed down’ and for some reason just before daybreak walked across the street to a police sub station, approached 2 officers getting off their night shift and yelled something to them.
They immediately shot her dead, saying they thought she had a gun in her hand. Not another word was ever reported on this incident. The only family she had lived up north and didn’t pursue the details of her death. She had made FB posts through out the night about how great life was and what a good time she was having. Nothing seemed amiss. No one knew she even owned a gun, and most folks think she may have been approaching the officers to report a crime..

Bill, it certainly was. The “leaked” information gives Wilson’s story, but his story doesn’t explain why he got his butt out and fired at Michael, then shot and continued doing so until he blew Mike’s brains out. The “leaked” info is using the George Zimmerman playbook which essentially says “He hit me first so I pursued to get even, but it was in self-defense.”
LikeLike
Wilson getting out and firing at Brown is almost like Duuhhnnn getting out and firing at a red SUV.
The threat was gone and even if a cop is allowed by law to shoot, it’s only when the suspect is an immediate danger or a known / escaped felon. Wilson cannot claim he was still firing to “keep their heads down and prevent return fire.”
Wilson did not know about any alleged or real robberies and since none happened, lets keep it real and rule that out. Not only that, since when is it approved to shoot to kill someone who “stole” a few cigars ?? Never…..that’s when……never.
In NJ he’d have been arrested within 24 hours.

Right. Appealing criminal convictions seems to be standard procedure. Unless the reviewing court finds something wrong with jury instructions, or that a judge sustained or overruled an objection that would the jury should have heard, it’s pretty hard to prevail on appeal. Now, even the ineffective assistance of counsel issue is difficult to argue. So many courts decide along the lines of, “You picked him. You live with the results.”

Lyrics by Bliss
If Love were a bird, I would stroke her bright feathers
Then I’d watch her fly free, cross the still of the dawn
And if Peace were a mountain, we’d gather around her
To bathe in her silence, her power, her call
If Wisdom could sing or whisper his secrets
Eternity teaching the ways of the free
In my mind I can see them, I hear them and I feel them
For Love, Peace and Wisdom are all part of me
If Love has her freedom, and Peace her expression,
Surely Wisdom will grow like a flower in bloom
The seed has been planted, and tended and watered
By the prayers of the hopeful and the tears of the brave
We long to return to that place of still waters
And sit on the banks under some shady tree
In my mind I can see it, I hear it and I feel it
And Love, Peace and Wisdom are all that we need
Some call me a dreamer, some will call me a seeker
One who follows her stars on a quest for the truth
But every believer holds a deep hidden memory
Of a time when the earth was a flower in bloom
We long to return to that place of still waters
And sit on the banks under some shady tree
In my mind I can see it, I hear it and I believe it
And Love, Peace and Wisdom are the three golden keys

For example, a cyber-extortionist uploaded his court pleadings to scribd. After a restraining order was entered against him, he had to take them down because the content was intended to post the personal information of, and demean the other person.
So, here’s the thing about the police reports; they are what the Ferguson police department has already said. With careful examination, you will find that there is no “victim”. The store’s owner did not call the police, nor press charges. The person who did call the cops was not a victim and lacks standing to file charges. It was the cop’s own discretion to file that report based on a custom’s call. They identified Mike Brown as the suspect after Wilson killed him.

Forgive me for not being detailed. Darren Wilson’s “spokesperson” put out a report that Wilson said Mike had to have been on drugs. That was in association with Mike purportedly bum rushing Wilson like a mad man. Actually, that type of behavior is unassociated with pot.
On the ME report, it has a category for “THC” that “impairs” and that category for Mike is “negative.”
In other words, the only thing that Wilson had giving him reason to continue shooting Mike until Mike’s brains were on the street, (cause he must have been on drugs</em) is not supported by the autopsy.
