some cops are so fkkkin stupid as to defy all manner of description:
SEE IT: Police tell Illinois man they found powdered drugs in his car. He breaks down, explains they’re his daughter’s ashes.
Disturbing new police bodycam video shows the moment an Illinois dad realizes that the powdered substance cops found in his car console and tested for drugs last year was actually his dead daughter’s ashes.
SEE IT: Police tell Illinois man they found powdered drugs in his car. He breaks down, explains they’re his daughter’s ashes.
Dartavius Barnes sees an officer fish the tiny metal urn out of an evidence bag after being told the substance tested positive for meth or ecstacy, and he immediately starts wailing in protest.
“No, no, no bro, that’s my daughter! What are y’all doing?” he cries out while detained in the back of a Springfield Police squad car, according to the bodycam video obtained last week by WICS ABC NewsChannel 20.
At one point, a horrified Barnes tries to reach out for the container even though he’s handcuffed during the April 2020 traffic stop from which he was released without charges.
“Give me that, bro,” he exclaims with emotion. “That’s my daughter, bro. That’s my daughter. What are y’all doing? No, no, no, no, no. Ask my daddy, that’s my daughter in there.”
Barnes pleads with the officer repeatedly, trying to explain through his grief that he is the father of Ta’Naja Barnes, the precious 2-year-old girl who died of neglect and starvation a year earlier inside her mom’s home.
The child’s mother, Twanka L. Davis, was later sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree murder, the Herald-Review reported.
Davis’ boyfriend, Anthony Myers, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 30 years.
“She just passed,” Barnes cries in the newly surfaced video. “You know me, right? That’s her, bro. No, bro. Please give me my daughter. Put her in my hand, bro. You all are disrespectful, bro. … Give me my daughter. That’s very important to me.”
Barnes is now suing the Springfield Police Department in federal court in Illinois.
He claims the officers “unsealed this urn and opened this urn without consent and without a lawful basis including a search warrant” and then “desecrated and spilled out the ashes.”
A lawyer representing the city of Springfield and its police department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily News on Friday.
The officers named in the lawsuit have denied the allegations, a court filing answering the complaint states.
“Defendants are entitled to qualified immunity as their conduct was justified by an objectively reasonable belief that it was lawful,” the filing states.

The only ones who would defend these stupid cops are the same ones who would defend Hitler. It is so difficult to believe that anyone can be so stupid.
