Man Killed By Police In Omaha, Nebraska For Possessing Cell Phone

Dateline: 1998

As he exited his vehicle after being stopped by Omaha Police Division officers,
Omaha native and Gulf War veteran Marvin Ammons was shot to death by Omaha
Police Division officers who claimed they believed the cell phone in his hand
was a handgun.

Later, after all officers were cleared of the charges, the survivors of Marvin
Ammons filed a federal lawsuit in Omaha against the Omaha Police Division.
During the proceedings of this lawsuit, Ammons family attorneys forced then
Interim Omaha Police Chief Charlie Circo to release tape recordings in the
police's possession of Ammons and his cell phone calls.

Later still, the Douglas County, Nebraska judiciary announced that no requests
were ever made by the Omaha Police Division for wiretap permission nor had any
Douglas County, Nebraska judge ever issued any wiretap order, EVER. This was
printed in the Omaha World Herald with a Douglas County judge making the
statement.

Douglas County is the legal entity presiding over the city of Omaha, Nebraska.

Yet, the Omaha Police Division claimed the stop of the vehicle driven by Marvin
Ammons was a routine traffic stop. The man had broken no laws, and they
murdered him for having a cell phone in his hand.

The federal judge presiding over the case denied Ammon's family attorneys the
option of presenting the wiretapped recordings in court and the lawsuit was
dropped.

Later still, the nephew of Marvin Ammons was arrested in another so called
routine traffic stop where the OPD discovered a handgun and quantity of
marijuana. Apparently, the police, who had been conducting illegal wiretap
surveillance on the Ammons family had confused the voice of Marvin Ammons with
that of his nephew and were on their guns ready to kill when they stopped the
vehicle of Marvin Ammons prior to his nephew's arrest.

The entire episode is being covered up to this day. Not a finger was lifted by
the cellular service providers in the Omaha, Nebraska area, including Sprint
PCS, to protect their customers from surveillance by the police or other
criminal eavesdroppers, nor was any effort by the FCC or any other federal
agency to bring the police and their informants to justice.

And you want me to buy a cellular telephone?

You don't have to buy a cellular phone. You have a radio
transmitter implanted just under your skin that transmits not only
your brainwaves but video data from the camera implanted behind your
left eye. When we're ready for you, it won't make a difference. Sleep
well and please, try to dream about something other that a threesome
with your mother and sister. Also, I don't think that masturbation
every hour on the hour is healthy, but since you seem to be enjoying
yourself...

What sort of fool exits a car surrounded by police officers with
*anything* in his hand, let alone a gun-sized cellphone?

Marvin was shot multiple times and killed by a cop, Omaha Police Officer
Todd Sears, near 63rd St. & Hartman Ave. According to the newspaper, Officer
Sears and his partner, Officer Troy Kister, were responding to a report of
"a traffic accident involving a disturbance." On their way to the accident,
the cops saw two vehicles stopped in the road. One vehicle drove away as the
cops arrived. Police claim that Marvin approached the cruisers to talk to
the cops and that the cops saw a gun in his waistband and told him to keep
his hands in the air. They claim that Marvin initially raised his hands but
then reached down and was shot as he pulled his gun. However, the gun was
later found to still be in its holster.
Something esle they did not tell in this story is Ammons was drunk, twice
the legal limit and strung out on cocaine....by thie way this story is BS.
This was never printed in Omaha World Herald, the messenger has a hidden
motive.

If you don't believe what has been said on this post, check out the archives of
the Omaha World Herald.

The details are in the article reporting on the progess of the Ammon's family's
lawsuit.

Marvin Ammon's cell phone killed him in more ways than one.

Actually, the episode was not covered up. Rather, the victim's fiancee
reportedly began soliciting money from strangers by mail. The account below
is hilarious (or infuriating) in its own right:

But we are 'way off-topic.

That's the shooting police officer's fiancee, not the dead man's
fiancee--sorry.
