Police Time – “11:55 PM” SPDO– AXON timestamp 3:34:51AM - 3:56:58AM - Officers posts 2B2 and 2B canvass neighborhood.
MIDNIGHT – STEVEN BARRIER, JR. IS NOW 23
Police Time “1:30AM” SPDO – AXON timestamp 05:30:26AM - 05:50:17AM Officer is at front door with two other officers. Officer joins the foot pursuit and assists officers in apprehension.
What the video shows: At 05:43:38, 12 Minutes and 18 Seconds into the video, the officer, identified with the AXON numbering as X8128972, as seen above, drives into an area where what is up ahead is unclear. There are lights and cars briefly visible. The officer appears to have left the car. A light, which maybe a flashlight he is carrying, or one carried by another person walking in the same direction, reveals a group of men in the distance. At 05:43-50 these are clearly seen as a group dressed as police officers. The man in the lead appears to be carrying something which cannot be identified. Then the image seen is a brightly lit commercial building in the distance down a slope. The positioning of the men makes it impossible to see if something is being carried. The group of men, at least 6 - 8 individuals in uniforms, reach the level of the parking lot. The door of a police car is opened and the video ends at 05:44:56, or, 13:36, the end of the video.
At 05:52:01 AM - They are entering the parking area for the Stamford Police Department.

The Steven Barrier Jr. story
takes you through local corruption by the Stamford Police Department (SPD),
Connecticut’s system of judicial misconduct by judges & attorneys’
collusion, elected officials as former police, published lies extending through
pressured clerks to medical examiners, evidence collection and property room
misconduct, and finally cemetery relationships.
In the Timeline below,
there are two sources for the videos which recreate the real chain of events for
October 22 – 23 2019; & one staged set of SPD videos 23 October producing
the murder of Steven Christopher Barrier, Jr.
Citizens are referring
to this ridiculous attempt at a cover-up that almost worked as “The Great
Chase Of No One movie”. Other sources include: interviews, follow-ups,
Internet and background research. Phone interviews and follow-ups took place
with the father Steven Christopher Barrier, Sr.; CT Office for Disabled Rights assigned
social worker & State Advocate for the Disabled, Elizabeth Greenwood; mother,
Valerie Jaddo; pro se litigator John Flynn; and a phone contact with Darnell
Crosland, attorney originally engaged by Valerie Jaddo. Interviews were
attempted with others directly and indirectly involved; those to be interviewed,
failed to return our calls.
What Really Happened to Steven Barrier, Junior
on October 22 – 23 2019
At
the time of his death by repeated tasering, battery, water in his lungs, and
other trauma inflicted by the Stamford Police Department (SPD); Steven was
attending Norwalk Community College and majoring in Engineering, his
long-time goal career goal. Barrier
worked part time at the neighborhood Boston Market, walking a mile from where
he lived, the home of his mother, Valerie Jaddo at 113 West Avenue, Stamford,
CT.
Steven
Barrier was quiet, thrifty, good tempered, and honest; but suffered from
anxiety and depression.
Living
at his mother’s home in the basement, put him close enough to both work and
school. He commuted to college using a bus, with one transfer and a brief walk.
Steven suffered from a disability, anxiety and depression significant
enough to warrant being recognized as a disability; and having a social worker
assigned for oversight and counseling.
The
major cause for concern expressed by those close to him, his father, Steven
Christopher Barrier, Senior, and his social worker and counselor, Elizabeth
Greenwood, were the same. Steven’s
mother, Valerie Jaddo constantly harassed and attempted to control Steven,
exhibiting behavior which resembled psychopathy.
Steven’s father had urged his son to move out, offering to put him up at
his small apartment. Steven refused
because his mother could always find him there, and he was afraid of her.
Greenwood,
assigned because of his problem with depression and anxiety, had determined
living with Valerie increased Steven’s anxiety and depression. Elizabeth Greenwood recommended Steven move,
and helped him find a suitable apartment.
Steven had begun packing for his move by October 22. That day he worked at Boston Market
and returned home at 9:45PM. After
washing up, Steven went down the street to see a close friend, Johnny, who it
appears may have been helping him organize his planned move. The next day would be his 23rd
birthday.
The Video Evidence Available
The first, is security
camera footage, (RING), from the Ring.com security camera mounted on the front
porch of the home at 113 West Avenue, Stamford CT. The police did not know there was a security
camera running that night. Valerie Jaddo
removed it the next day, according to Greenwood.
RING.com is a home security company. The timestamps you see are all taken directly
from the well-lit color & audio recordings originating from the RING
security camera located on the front porch of 113 West Avenue. The timestamp, time & date are visible in
the lower right of each frame. The camera is activated by motion.
The second, is following Steven’s death,
the Stamford Police would release an Official Police Video (OPV). This video was released on October 30. 2019
to the Stamford Advocate, the local paper. All videos released by the Stamford Police
were made from bodycams purchased from AXON.
AXON was also the supplier of the TASERs used on Steven Barrier, Jr.
AXON is a global provider of technologies providing
bodycams which produce color high-quality images and documents frames to
fractions of seconds showing the exact time when these video images were shot.
Media, such as CBS
edited the edited OPV version numerous times for broadcast, not making further
inquiry, and never noticed the 3:39AM to 6:10AM timing of the date stamps on
their own screens chronicling to Steven’s long death over hours in the rain in
his neighborhood, all during video a fictional story cover-up of earlier
viciousness and negligence. What they edited down but not out was his inert
form, and his pleading for air. After his unjustifiable multiple taser “apprehension”
at home. Steven exited the house, where
the police lay in wait after his return from work; they added a knee to his
neck.
When the SPD’s “Great Chase”
fictional video cover-up of earlier viciousness and negligence was “a wrap”,
and Steven was brought to the station, police watched him die en camera in
their “rubber room” all on AXON by 6:02:05AM.
During the hours of
their staged production as a cover-up for their earlier lack of cause and
procedural rights abuse, the police rendered Steven senseless electrically,
drowning him in rain puddles as narrated, physically traumatizing him, and
forced administering an anti-opiod drug ______ 2x, deadly when the
person does not use opiods – all versus police-asserted narration of events
with the same timestamped videos supposedly 4 or more hours before.
One can wonder about how
an officer reads Miranda rights to an un-arrested fellow, while nobody seems to
notice or care how or when he died of “heart failure”. Steven’s is not the only
heart that failed. It has been stated 10x now by State’s Attorney and then Attorney for the Judicial District
of Stamford/Norwalk, Richard J. Colangelo “there was no
police misconduct”. Recall he published that the time of death was 3:10AM.
The police did not
borrow cameras from Hollywood, but used AXON on-screen time-stamped videos.
Dumb-de-dumb-dumb dumb.
There is an equally dumb
attempt to dismiss the Steven Barrier Jr. case this week with a new judge. Stamford
citizens should object to the murder of a young engineering student, even if no
one else does. There is also a video of the tasering by Valerie Jaddo which has
been shown to several people willing to file affidavits with further
interrogatories, that contradicts SPD Officer Boeger’s “conclusion” there was
no tasering evidence, after he had earlier stated he recorded the taser voltage
evidence.

| Richard Colangelo |
There is an extortive conspiratorial
local and national NAACP attorney’s reason this video’s existence has been overlooked
since its known existence, and suppressed until now when citizens began to
catalogue all video evidence that was known to each other. All evidence in the
Barrier case needs to be in the custody of people other than the SPD/Norwalk
PD, local courts, relatives, or the State’s Attorney Colangelo, and colluding
in the cover-up. This includes elected
local, state, and federal officials. Federal investigators and the public should
be cognizant of such as they read this.
A link to Superior courthouse
proceedings is at the end of this re-examination of facts, and questions
unanswered in open discovery. Note 11 sets of interrogatories have been ignored
for every deposition time by the local officers and courts for 7 months now. There
is now ample evidence of police and judicial misconduct.
RING recordings provided
the earliest pieces of the real timeline, however.
At 9:45:05 PM Oct.
22, 2019 the RING security camera records Steven coming home
from work. Although he usually closed
the Boston Market later than that, Steven might have changed his
schedule to return earlier to continue packing to move. His father referred to
Steven’s workplace as “Boston Chicken”. Steven, (according to his social
worker, Elizabeth Greenwood, during our second interview) was moving out of the
house in two days to an apartment she had helped find for him.
Valerie said (during an
interview) Steven briefly washed himself, and went out for a few minutes
to see his friend, Johnny, who lives down the street “on the corner”. Valerie claimed not to know anything more
about Johnny.
It is likely Steven, juggling school
and a job, had been packing up his things to be ready for his move. Johnny may have agreed to help him move
out. Steven’s father, Steven Barrier,
Senior, does not have a car and neither does Steven, Jr., and the weather was
rainy. An interview should be made about those two hours and Steven’s intent on
his upcoming birthday. Valerie said to Greenwood that Johnny’s mother told
Steven he was asleep.??
Valerie
said (during our first interview) Steven returned in just a few minutes; but
from the RING security camera recording, you see he returned at 11:14PM.
After returning to the house,
Steven made himself a cup of coffee, his usual practice after work, according
to Valerie. During our interview, Valerie said Steven had an unpleasant
encounter with his half-sister, Shanika Aarons, also staying there with
her two children during a visit from her home in California. It was Shanika who
refused to let him have a
little milk for his coffee, as her children needed it. (Valerie said nothing about any violent encounter between Steven
and Shanika or herself at any time during our three interviews. It has not been possible to interview
Shanika. There is no visual evidence that either was ever
harmed by Steven that evening from camerawork, or ever before. A temper was the
opposite of Steven’s problem.)
According to Valerie, Steven then went
downstairs and discovered he could not get into his room or to access his
possessions stored in the room next to his bedroom. Valerie said during our
first interview, “I locked the room because I was going to have some work
done by a contractor.” It is the
general practice to clear a room which will be undergoing repairs or
modifications, and arrange with residents for any personal items to be moved out
of the way. At the
time, I just noted this; later I realized her statement raised further
questions.
Valerie
went on to say, Steven demanded she open the locked door so he could gain
access to his possessions. She said she did not understand why he was
upset, indicating she refused to do so.
Greenwood later told me, Steven had not told his mother he was moving,
because Valerie would react badly to his leaving. Interviews with Steven’s father, Steven
Barrier, Senior, confirmed this.
It is possible Steven’s plans to move, were
known to his mother. She may have noticed
he was packing. As a legal resident,
Steven had a right to access his possessions, and could not be denied access to
these, especially without notice. If the police had been informed of the circumstances,
they would likely have informed Valerie of this.
If Valerie had been anxious to get Steven out
of the house, she would have simply allowed him access to his possessions. Therefore, there would be another motive for
her behavior.
Greenwood mentioned during our third interview,
she and Steven talked nearly daily, and said living with Valerie was highly
stressful for Steven because Valerie was constantly attempting to pit Steven
against her husband, a cook at an extended care home in
Rye, NY, “Bear” Jaddo; and was doing the same with her husband to create
hostility toward Steven.
Steven Barrier, Senior, said during our
interview, he had begged his son to leave because he feared for Steven’s life
if he remained there. Valerie was, he
said, extremely controlling. Every time
Steven visited him, Valerie would, within minutes, begin pounding on his door,
insisting their son return home with her.
Allegedly that night there
are also several texts that exist between SPD and Shanika, Shanika alleged
Steven hit her face with a broom. This is
recorded on the 11:40PM 911 Call which also records Valerie prompting Shanika
in the background. According to John Flynn Shanika asked Officer
Kilcoyne to kill Steven. John Flynn reported Officer asked her to put that in
writing and give this to him. Flynn asked all communications from the 911 Call
on the evening of Oct. 22 be produced.
These requests were refused after the “Boeger
detective squad” investigation was completed, among other important evidence. The
SPD and Jaddo/Aarons seemingly had some leverage on each other. Neither seemed
to consider how their bodycams in the wee hours planning the “Great Chase” or
the Ring porch camera, contradicted later false narratives. Reporting media also ignored these
contradictions.
No police reports prior
to the “investigation” have been released either. These texts’ content and timing
is relevant, and added to a context of an asserted “domestic violence” call;
add the fact that Steven was at work, and the police chose not go there.
Character assassination appears to have led to a protracted genuine
assassination by police
Police had been to see
Steven Barrier many times before to evaluate by law whether he should be
hospitalized for depression, and no other problem. However, these calls were also initiated by
Valerie, not by Steven who was no threat to anyone. Did the police view Steven
as too much of a bother to them?
What individuals would
profit by Steven’s death?
According to both Steven Senior, and Greenwood,
for months before this time, Valerie had been forcing Steven to go to
doctors. Greenwood said, “Sometimes Steven
went, but was refusing to do so more frequently toward the end.” Greenwood said, “I thought Steven’s
problems with depression and anxiety would be alleviated by getting away from
his mother, whose behavior was the source of the problem.”
The Stamford Police released only one of what
is believed to be several 911 Calls made from the house that
evening. Greenwood indicated she had
been told there had been several calls. The woman speaking is Shanika, Steven’s
half-sister, ten years his elder. The
mother, Valerie can be heard in the background prompting Shanika on what to
say, and is completely aware of what is being said about Steven.
Valerie,
I concluded, was not telling the truth about what happened. Over the next several weeks both Greenwood
and Barrier, Senior, told me that Valerie had taken out an insurance policy
on Steven, Junior. I asked about the
amount to be paid, and was told it was large.
A short time later, I was further informed the policy had been paid,
Valerie alone receiving the funds.
The police arrive at 11:45:18 PM when
the RING
security camera records their arrival. The RING camera keeps recording more
action. The rapidity of their arrival
indicates they were persuaded, not unreasonably, a real danger to Valerie and
Shanika existed. Therefore, the presence
of multiple police cars in the 11:45:18PM RING recording and the next, three
minutes later, at 11:48:48PM confirm this was being treated as a serious
threat to life.
Officers are seen in the 11:45:18PM video shining lights toward
the back of the house on both sides. In
the next RING recording an officer enters the house and officers are present
outside the house.
Valerie,
herself, recorded the actual tasering of her son, showing the video to John
Flynn and others at the first rally against the police killing of Steven
Barrier, held in early December. While
it should not have been necessary for me to point this out, Steven was tasered
in the driveway of his own home and this would have taken place either just
before midnight, which would have been when the Jaddo recording of the tasering
took place.
An
individual who has been tasered, especially one who weighs only 130 lbs., is
not capable of running anywhere. In
neither the Jaddo recording or the RING recording of the tasering has an arrest
taken place. No questions are asked; no
arrest is made. No Miranda Rights are
read to Steven, who is writhing on the ground and incapable of
communicating.
Two
more RING recordings each show an officer entering the Jaddo home just after
midnight. The first at 00:03:18 Oct. 23
and 00:09:59 Oct. 23.
The
next RING video is begins at 1:33:20 Oct. 23; another at 1:43:39 Oct. 23. Now, police officers are walking by the
house.
1:52:45
AM - Oct. 23, 2019 – RING - A policeman knocks on the door, walked
back down the stairs, and then back up. Door opens. Policeman
announces, "Just want to let you know we got him, he ran." A
woman's voice says casually, "Yes, I was texting with the officer, well
the dispatcher…”
An
Officer Connelly (one of twins on the SPD) interrupts with,
"He ran, so he took us on full pursuit." Woman says, "Oh
my god! Its raining so you guys must be soaking wet."
The comment by Valerie
struck me as odd, as she expressed no concern for her son, this contrasting
starkly with her repeated attempts to control him and her statements to the
media after his death.
Toward
the end of this recording you see another officer using a flashlight on the
sidewalk and street in front of the house looking for something. This would be a search for all evidence of
the tasings which took place there between 11:50PM Oct. 22 and 00:01 or so just
after midnight, Oct. 23.
It is
very possible in the interim the police have finally been able to talk to
Steven and realized they were misled by Shanika and Valerie. This creates a real problem for them. Steven, if he remembers what happened, will
be able to collect a judgement for their abusive behavior and they will lose
their jobs, which pay very, very well. Their intention might not have been to
kill Steven, but to ensure he did not remember what had happened to him. Some of the officers may, or may not, know
about the life insurance policy which Valerie has taken out on Steven’s life.
The
police could have confessed to their misjudgments – or they could stage the
cover-up, which is the choice they made.
Since tasering will disrupt memory and cause brain damage and other
effects they will hold Steven without having made an arrest or having read him
his Miranda Rights. They will do this
with the full consent of Valerie, who has set up the circumstances which move
them to these actions. Valerie and they
will cooperate with the cover-up.
On October 29, 2019, locally, The
Patch published an article titled, Body Camera Footage Released Of Man
Who Died In Police Custody, by RJ Scofield, Patch Staff. The article gives the time of Steven’s
death as 3:10 a.m., at the Stamford Hospital, and
on the death certificate, and according to then
Attorney for the Judicial District of
Stamford/Norwalk Richard J. Colangelo, now State Attorney whose career has been
uninterrupted by inconvenient facts, murder, and cover-ups.
The Official Police Video (OPV), which they said documented their
actions, was released by the Stamford Police, appearing in the Stamford
Advocate, the local paper, on October 30.
The downloaded video raised questions for the writer about the timeline,
which, according to the Stamford Advocate in an
article titled, ‘My son was not taken to the hospital. Why?’ by Ignacio
Laguarda, published on October 30, regarding the video having been edited
together from four different AXON bodycams. Each AXON bodycam has a number on
each frame identifying the bodycam, and a designated number of the individual
wearing it, along with the timestamps. These individual officers are: X81230660, X81291819, X81230231, and
X81230450.
Citizens also need to
know who all the officers in view of each AXON bodycam are. This
information has been refused continually and sometimes in attempts to be
intimidating to those asking filing the requests by as many as six officers
surrounding the legal requestor. The two tasering officers, one
African-American, despite numerous official and unofficial requests are still
unknown parties.
What
was missed earlier, was the story told by the AXON timestamps. Although these varied through the four videos,
as they had been edited together and were not entirely sequential, all agreed
roughly except for some missing minute edits, as to when the recordings had
been made. The AXON timestamps from the
OPV video released on October 30, 2019, put the time the videos were taken
beginning at 5:29:51 AM and ending at 6:02:05AM demise, three hours
later than the time of death reported by Richard Colangelo in the Patch
article of October 29.
I
realized something was rotten in Stamford.
All
the times on the OPV and from the videos posted to the Stamfordct.gov Steven
Barrier Timeline, claimed by the Stamford Police, from ALL of their bodycam
recordings, were ALL narrated as several hours earlier than that of the AXON timestamps.
The local and area media ignorantly swallowed this
self-evident contradiction.
First, I never found any bodycam recordings in which the time claimed by
the Stamford Police agreed with the AXON timestamp. This short segment is especially interesting.
The footage begins with an officer leaving his
car. He is joined by other officers as
they walk down the dark street. The AXON
timestamps are October 23, 2019.
Remember, the SPD will claim the time of death for Steven Barrier, Jr.
as 3:10AM. Yet…
5:30:05 AM – You hear two policemen talking, “Keep your voice low”
as they continue to walk past a third police car.
5:30:10 AM – You hear what sounds like several people walking
together. One voice says, “Let’s do this…he is out of his mind.”
The sound of a police radio breaks in with, “A1…”
5:30:16 AM – The officer in the lead quickens his pace.
5:30:20 AM – You see the word POLICE clearly on the back of the man in the
lead.
The
recordings in the October 30 OPV and the recordings from the Steven Barrier
Timeline available on the Stamfordct.gov website reveals the timestamps from
multiple bodycams being used by the Stamford Police Department as they staged
a falsified video production several hours after Steven had been taken into
custody. Steven is still barely alive,
as the police have a jolly time finishing their staged video cover-up of their
hours of prior violations and torturous actions.
The
two sources of video from the SPD are: 1) the OPV, which had no times added by
the SPD; and 2) the StamfordCT.gov Steven Barrier Timeline, available on their
website, which usefully includes their fictional SPD timeline in addition to
the AXON timestamps with audios. There
are 19 videos from the website and two audios.
There are likely more recordings which have not been made available to
the public, which is evidence and should be protected as soon as possible from
the ongoing police cover-up. With these
from both SPD sources and 3) the RING front door security cam timestamped
video, unknown to the police, I could compare the AXON with the false
SPD timeline. By referring to the RING videos, I could begin to assess the
assertions and what actions and motives could have been afoot.
Together,
the videos from the SPD sources, OPV and SCT SBTimeline, produce an ugly
narrative reflecting callous disregard for accountability, sloppy work, and a
sense of entitlement to power which we must not
tolerate.
See for yourself: begin
at 9:45PM October 22 and continue until 1:52AM October
23, 2019, the time is actually, by the AXON timestamp 5:54:15AM - 5:57:55AM. What you see is an officer helping to carry
Mr. Barrier from the patrol vehicle which transported Barrier to the Rubber
Room. This rebuts the time of 3:10AM as reported by
Richard Colangelo. Further, dawn has arrived, and the many uses by media of the
“rubber room” officers poking Steven’s foot to get a reaction, were used
without looking at the AXON timestamp in the upper right corner. Valerie Jaddo,
not surprisingly, arrives at the hospital before the SPD and ambulance. More
suppressed information on Steven’s condition as reported by nurses, is below.
Note the segment
which is 9:08 minutes in length with Steven Barrier in the “Rubber Room” of the
Stamford Police Station, the AXON timestamp is 6:02:05AM, when it has
been sometime since there was a sign of life from the inert form of Barrier on
the floor of the “Rubber Room” with four officers staring at him, waiting
to see some sign of life, which never comes. Present are two African-American
male officers, two Caucasian male officers, a woman Caucasian officer in the
doorway (a female voice directed the “Great Chase of no
one” cover-up video), and a blue-gloved male officer whose camera is
recording the scene as all of them peer down at what is becoming the dead body
of Steven Barrier.
Note the police AXON recordings begin just
before dawn and their production involving the body of Steven Barrier and the
fictional never-seen ‘Steven Barrier running fast enough to evade all cameras
and cops’ even over 20-foot walls, extends into daylight before being brought
to the SPD station. This corroborates the time of death as after dawn.
Understand
this: There is no footage AXON timestamped before 3:54:30AM! It
appears that either all existing police video releases were created for the
cover-up, after Steven had been captured, his rights violated and his person
tasered and assaulted. In the later
recordings made outside the Jaddo home and police persons running in the
neighborhood, dawn is coming. When Steven was transported from the “Rubber Room”
at the Stamford Police Station to the hospital, it is possible he is already
dead. A death certificate affirms not
the time of death, per se, but that the individual has died by that time,
signed by a physician or medical examiner. Tain’t so. Why they signed it is a question which must
be answered.
NOTE: There
were three autopsies performed, no matter how challenged for accuracy,
the results. These take time, even days apart.
Note clothes are usually cut off a subject by scissors during the
autopsy. Steven Barrier Sr. had asked for an
out of the area examiner from New York, but to no avail.
Nurses who have not been interviewed, who were
working at the hospital that October 23 morning, told Valerie and others that Steven’s
clothes were torn and bloody from head to toe; there were taser marks on the
temple, neck, chest, back, and it appears asphyxiation from the inhalation of
water all contributed to the death. Involuntary unnecessary but deadly
drugs were deduced from several sources besides toxicology results.
Six efforts to date by Elizabeth Greenwood (who
is visually impaired) who had a letter from the family requesting all personal
effects, and with the assistance of John Flynn, to receive Steven’s bloody
clothing and other effects from the property room run by Officer Lopez, have
been refused. They were referred to Boeger, who
has apparently never been “in”. The records desk by Officer Weed or a lady
there, stated that they could not comply because their “legal office” told them
not to, even after the “investigation” was completed by “Boeger” who is
obviously part of the cover-up at minimum. During the last effort to six police
officers surrounded and attempted to intimidate Flynn to stop him from
fulfilling the family’s request. Pictures of these officers of the law can be
seen in John Flynn 2020 Youtube videos Numbers 29 & 30.
The request for the
personal effects, even after the investigation concluding (ahem no mayhem) NO
OFFICER MISCONDUCT had been completed by Officer Boeger of the detective squad
(who was also involved in the Great Chase). Boeger had initially announced to
media he had been responsible for the intake of taser evidence, which includes
recording the lower voltage available; then later declared there was no taser
evidence. Perhaps this is because it had
been picked up. There appears to be video evidence of this and later more
“policing of the area” for taser accouterments throughout the night. Note in the RING videos you see 2 of 6
officers and taser flashes. You clearly
hear, “Taser, taser, taser! I got him
in the back.” Multiple requests on
the identity of the two officers, referred to as 5 and 6, besides Officers
Connolly and Kilcoyn, another two unidentified PD officers -- on the scene have
met with refusals to provide the information during video recorded phone calls,
which you can see and hear, listed below. (Now apparently, citizens can see
this as deduced by citizens on 21JUL2020 which is on Valerie Jaddo’s phone.)
Boger is never available,
never in, and requests for police reports prior to his detective squad
investigation, have never been tendered to anyone making such a request. Any
SPD Internal Affairs seems to be non-existent, and even if it was, this
conspiracy now encompasses the entire SPD and beyond. An entirely new police
department and court system seems needed. Seven sets of Interrogatories by John
Flynn have never been answered, nor has the SPD appeared at the named location
for depositions at appointed times. You
can view the RING videos which include visuals of these documents and other
evidence from YouTube. See on YouTube John Flynn 2020/videos Numbers 2, 4, 6, 27,
29, 30, 43, 62 A, B, C, D, 65, 73, 83, 86, 124, 129, 148, 150 – 156,
158 – 160, and 162 – 164. See related
video Number 44 on judges and lawyers in the area germane to the unfolding
discovery of more videos and their suppression.
In the first reports
appearing in the “news”, no specific times for apprehending Steven were
provided, so this multi-timelines comparison article is now new news. Let’s review possible motives for actions:
At 9.59 AM a RING video records another policeman entering the
house and two more police cars drive by.
At 12:37AM the police Steven Barrier Timeline from their site
reports, “Officers Clear the Call and Leave the Scene.” This is a notation which could be expected to show the issue is resolved.
No AXON timestamps are cited to validate this
as an accurate time; neither is it necessarily inaccurate. All the bodycam video produced and used for
the OPV and made available through the Stamfordct.gov Steven Barrier
Timeline fall within this period.
The police must
have been aware they had ignored existing protocols, and relied only on the
specious reports provided by both Valerie Jaddo and her daughter, Shanika Aarons
regarding any incident of domestic violence or the emotional health and
character of Steven Barrier. This
character assassination led directly to his assassination by the Stamford
police. The police then created the
orchestrated Great Chase “training video” showing they knew about the
rules violated at the Jaddo residence and tasering
Barrier.
The initial tasering
took place in the rain in front of 113 West Avenue. After this, Steven was incapable of even
walking. Therefore, the police
hid him for use as a prop in their video, likely in the back of a squad car,
moving him to a location where he could be placed at the top of the slope near
the Home Depot, which they had chosen as remote enough to evade being observed
by early risers. Steven was then
dragged to the spot chosen for the beginning of this part of the shoot and
dumped, groggy and in pain, into a puddle, face first. At this later time, he would have inhaled
the water, as you hear on the video a policeman noticing and recommends to
another officer, to pull Steven’s face out of the water. Really, the hours
long slow motion murder is all there, just look and weep.
Now, let’s take a look at how the “Great Chase
of No One” came into being:
Below you see the shoot times for the two
videos produced by the Stamford Police, worried about having not followed the
mandated rules for handling complaints for domestic violence. Someone, let’s call them the “Line Producer”,
would have organized the “Production Breakdown”. A Production Breakdown plans out the scenes
to be shot together, to later edit as different points in time. However, this breakdown is also a hasty “Shooting
Schedule”, needed to beat the dawn (dark is a “Special Effect” in this case),
which they miss, slightly.
The cast 1 – 2 dozen officers were
already determined to rewrite what had happened from the time the police
received the 911 Call, which is well worth a listen, as this makes it clear how
outrageous these claims were. Listen
hard. You can hear Valerie prompting
Shanika in the background. The police also received other communications
from Valerie and Shanika. According to
Flynn’s sources, these included further untrue phone texts and written
communications passed to police at the door.
One of these was a request, written by Shanika, the police kill
Steven. Officer Kilcoyne purportedly
requested that in handwriting, which he received. The texts and note have never seen the light
of day.
The initial police response to these
fraudulent claims was to conclude the two women were in immediate danger. Therefore, the officers did not carry out the
steps mandated (including turning on their body cams), which you see enacted in
the two later videos as if there had been something wrong, and a running flight
of a suspect could be possible to document their heroics.
Only later would the police realize they
had been had. They had nothing they
could accuse Steven of. It is hard to
read the Miranda Rights to someone you continue to taser to the head and neck
to ensure he will not become conscious or remember what has happened. Police culture is to take orders from leaders
they trust.
Perhaps they should rethink this when they want to be in the
movies. These officers should all certainly be
placed on the new nationwide index of all officers with emphasis on those of
brutality, so they can’t be hired in policework anywhere else. There is always
Hollywood, however these guys are really out of shape when running. It is based
on the index of 300,000 stockbrokers with emphasis on crooks, that is also
relevant to corruption in Stamford.
This scene is set to take place at the
time the police arrived, 11:45 PM, October 22, 2019. Since it was on a dark and stormy night, and
time-consuming to rent cameras without timestamps, the SPD dragnet of many
officers there, used their handy AXON bodycams to record the action. Dumb-de-dumb-dumb.
The videos below, are available at the
Stamfordct.gov site, where I found them.
After viewing them, I downloaded each one to ensure the source would
remain available to other citizens, in that I will re-post them on
CleanUpCT.org with all the police jargon which is summarized below:
Falsified time - 11:45 PM– AXON timestamp - 4:19:01 - 4:35:57AM – Multiple police are present and “looking for
Steven”. The time of the 911 call was stated as 5 minutes
earlier.
Officers 1C and 1B (AXON Notation) arrive at Stamford residence and search the
property. The officers interview members of the household, take voluntary
statements and provide a “domestic violence safety plan.” Note
the “civilian actors’ cooperation”.
These two bodycam
videos closely follow how domestic violence calls which appeared to be
dangerous, were to be handled.
Interesting to see the police knew this. Nothing of the sort had
happened before Steven was battered, tasered, and an officer had knelt on his
neck (according to information gathered by John Flynn and Elizabeth Greenwood),
holding Steven down on the driveway in the front of the house at 113 West
Avenue. Not much of a struggle except to breathe.
The AXON time of production for these two videos via bodycam puts the
second, supposedly filed at 11:47PM as beginning the shoot at 03:58:09AM,
ending at 4:35:57AM. The first video
on the thoroughness of police response to ‘domestic violence complaints’ began
at 4:19:01AM, ending at 4:35:57AM.
The last recorded AXON timestamp is 06:02:05AM,
the scene you see is Steven Barrier, laying on the SPD floor, vaguely propped
up against a wall as the EMT begins the long-delayed attempt to revive
him. The police were hurrying, you can
bet. The sky is lightening outside, and
it would have been awkward if this was noticed in those outside scenes. It was
a half-year later by this producer.
This
would have worked if they were, in fact, committed to being officers of the
peace, a concept today lost for most Americans; instead of overpaid law
enforcers committed to following orders and unsure what a ‘right’ is.
Only the RING recording from the RING
security camera on the Jaddo front porch remained to rebut the lies told by all
levels of the Stamford police, the City of Stamford and the courts. These RING
recordings were transferred from Valerie’s computer to make a copy by her son
Shane Aarons, elder half-brother of Steven. He felt obligated to transfer them
to others. A thorough accounting of them all, should be forthcoming by
popular demand. Any investigation worthy of the name would have done so half a
year ago, but the truth is not wanted in by officers or officers of the court
in Stamford. We should not “stamd” for that intentional shoddiness for a
cover-up of the brother’s murder.
Other RING
segments include a policeman entering the house at 11:48:48 PM. This could validate the original time police
were present on the Jaddo property; but a 3:18 AM time showing a
policeman leaving the house and a police car visible on the left, has other
implications. This would have been part
of the needed coordination efforts for the conspiracy between Valerie and
Shanika, and the police. Thinking each
has evidence leverage on the other.
However, the police still did not know about the RING security camera
Valerie would casually remove later in the day, Oct. 23rd.
Steven
Barrier, Jr. died, not at 3:10am, but at slightly after 6:00am.
The theatrically
overdone cover-up edited video (and missing incriminating video) the SPD
hastily shot, using a multitude of AXON bodycams, would make it necessary for
their upstream partners in crime to continue the cover-up.
AXON has expressed no concern on the use of their technology
to achieve cover-ups, saying subpoena us or sue us. They are a very wealthy company with revenues
of $500M they are not worried about protecting. No
established procedures seem to be in place for the misuse of AXON cameras in
snuff videos, but they have a contract.
This is, after
all, Connecticut, the original turf of Bernie Madoff and the refuge of Cotton
Mather – the latter, after criticism about his enthusiasm over asset forfeiture
to steal the assets of women accused of witchcraft, tarnished his reputation. His descendant, Stephen T. Mather would
follow in his footsteps but evade criticism through the use of a larger, even
less democratic government.
Connecticut
ignored at least one local complaint on Bernie, which John Flynn provided for
filing multiple times, beginning around 2002.
The checks for filing were accepted, but no file numbers were ever
received by Flynn. A nest of five judges appointed by Daniel Malloy, former
Mayor of Stamford. Governor Malloy retired after serving as governor and moved
to New Hampshire.
Stamford Chief Counsel
Povodater for 25 years managed to have the green light for the largest stock
frauds in history, are still on the bench there. Judge Adams provides the immunity for Bank of
America attorneys robbing local citizens of their stock. Flynn filed 32
complaints against the law firm Kelley, Drye and Warren (KD&W), having ten
lawyers claim they represented him, which they never had nor were authorized.
None were answered. Judge Adams allowed
these attorneys to continue to claim they were acting as Flynn’s attorneys over
his vociferous objections, expanding Flynn’s LLP without his permission.
These attorneys with the assistance of Judge Adams as a
former member of their legal clique, they have now created 300,000 falsified
stock transactions and cashing 1,228 stolen cashed checks. The father of Kevin Plant of KD&W with
the cooperation of BofA attorneys, US Clearing Corp., Fidelity NFS, Pfizer
Securities. This train of falsified bank
records and 1099s, goes all the way back to the first of 100 cases filed by
John Flynn against Bernie Madoff in 2002.
Flynn’s checks for filings to the court were cashed, and the case was immediately
dismissed.
At $47-million
to date, this is the largest stock fraud case in Connecticut. Adams continues to refuse access to Flynn’s
now completely falsified bank records.
Mayor Rilling was Police Chief when the money was stolen. The joint Norwalk Stamford investigation team
never seems to get any of the local residents money back. But they have found lots of ways to use it
themselves.
Dana Lee, Mayor/Governor
Malloy’s attorney during a part of the money laundering case, even said, “This
$47-million stock option fraud case is the largest stock fraud case in
Connecticut history.” You can read
about the five corrupt judges including Kenneth B. Povodator, Heller, and
others running from Stamford to Hartford in the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Rogue
Town, by Dennis N. Griffin and Vito Colucci Jr., available at Amazon. Now, these outrageous Stamford monetary officials
are killing people because cover-ups are now common and acceptable at all
levels---unless the people of Connecticut say otherwise.
A new judge has been assigned to the Barrier Case. His name may be John Branson or something to that effect. Not much
transparency in the Superior Court.
These constantly dismissed filings
of wrongdoing, by Flynn demanding his and his relatives own banking records of US
Clearing Corp. owned by BofA, also involve Fleet Bank Boston – was
before the mergers. Why would we be surprised at this
Barrier cover-up except for its video continuity error of dawn? Madoff kept operating for another ten years,
and it took longer for public consciousness to sink in on Jeff Epstein. The
citizens of Stamford need to clean up all the governmentality in Stamford that
is a monopoly of force and forums, and seek alternatives to the old barrel
besides just replacing the bad apples.
In this climate
and with the recent events about Black Lives Matter as a movement and organization out of Boston, Valerie took on
the work of asking questions on why her son died, although she knew exactly
what had happened. She had been cast for
a starring role in another production. The role is being refined as the next
phase of the cover-up continues.
What may have been the tasering, was vaguely
reported to me by Valerie during our first interview. Valerie said, “I could hear what was
happening outside but was frozen. I
could not bring myself to look out the front door.” One of the officers can
be heard yelling, “Taser, taser, taser, I got him in the back!” This comment reminded me of the Youtube video
John Flynn had sent me in January, before I knew anything about the Barrier
death.
While
writing this, I learned today, July 21, 2020, Valerie was lying about being
immobilized emotionally at the time Steven was being tasered. She was taking action. In a conversation today
with John Flynn, who attended the first rally in support of Justice for Steven
Barrier held at the Bethel AME Church in Stamford; far from shaking in fear,
Valerie Jaddo video-recorded the tasering and subsequent action with her
smartphone, of two officers’ actions, without her attempting to intervene.
Flynn
reported being shown Valerie’s Videophone-recording, when he attended the first
rally in early December. I quote Flynn, “Her
camera was chasing the two officers. I
could see two officers pursuing and then tasering Steven. One of them yelled, “Taser, taser, taser, I
got him in the back!” Flynn went on to say he noticed several flashes from
the tasers, as Valerie Jaddo showed him the recording, which he observed her
also sharing with others at the rally.
This
matched what I had seen myself in the RING porch point of view (POV) video, several
flashes indicated the tasering went on for a while, despite the later police
denial any were used after Officer Boeger said he had logged in taser evidence.
On
the RING porch POV video, I could see what appeared to be two officer figures
converging, flashes of light between them, tasers hitting a third figure near what
appeared to be a driveway hedge and vehicles.
At the time, I assumed this could only be from the RING video. Now, I
realize there are two videos establishing the taserings of Barrier: 1) the
Jaddo Smartphone recording; and 2) that made by the RING security camera. This RING segment is no longer online, where
it had been posted by Flynn. Now, it is not
possible to obtain the timestamp, but I am pursuing this through several
possibilities. If you have seen the Jaddo video, please contact me. Affidavits
are useful.
I
put Valerie’s comment together with the tasering, only after I had seriously
begun researching the Barrier story, which did not begin until March 2020. Her reaction had troubled me, because I could
not imagine failing to intervene to protect my own child. Now, knowing she was
recording the tasering herself makes her behavior very much open to question,
especially considering both her earlier and later actions.
Valerie has been pursuing a cash settlement for the death of her son
from the City of Stamford, its police department, backed by the taxpayers of the
State of Connecticut, courtesy of Colangelo for a cut of the deal, and with a
cut for the NAACP, and a cut for Attorney Ben Krump known for being sued for
$110M in the Trayvon case for witness tampering. The price tag for suppressing
justice is currently $30-million with principals getting about $7M each. This
is why the Jaddo video never saw popular distribution.
In honest opposition is Steven Barrier,
Senior’s refusing to go along with any settlement without criminal justice being obtained before civil
justice is considered, all open and above board.
The
criminal justice in this case now includes: premeditated kidnapping and murder;
producing a video cover-up of the criminal and procedural rights negligence;
criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice; RICO racketeering; evidence tampering
by multiple specific officers; mental suffering and physical torture under color of authority; specific police
officers and officers of the court and judges withholding and suppressing evidence
and evidence discovery by ignoring 11 sets of Interrogatories for seven months;
errors and omissions insurance fraud (the policy shared between Stamford and
Norwalk); life insurance fraud as taken out by Valerie Jaddo; attorney Ben
Krump and the local NAACP for extortion for money interjecting themselves or
threatening public unrest; the falsification of autopsy reports by State Medical
Examiners and officials; local, state and federal elected officials who learned
of these events and failed to speak out, continuing the cover-up. Many of these individuals are former law
enforcement professionals.
Together with the 911 call put in by her daughter, Shanika at 11:40PM on
the same night, with her prompting her daughter and listening to the statement,
raises the question of motive as it was the gravity of the 911 Call which
brought the police out within five minutes to send police to each side of the
residence to take Steven into custody.
As
some call for de-funding the police, besides firing them all in favor of
competitive security, cleaning out the courthouse of corrupt judges in favor of
arbitrators; this corruption is not clear cut about racism with such an
integrated black, white, brown police misuse of force, the cynicism of Valerie
and Shanika to use the police as a deadly weapon, and is about judicial
misconduct far more seriously ingrained in Stamford than police misconduct. Its
about systemic corruption. Systemic change was invented under a Charter Oak
once upon a time with percentages-of-income paid to a judge by both rich and
poor person. This pre-trial rights balance was before the trial that might
decide who is rich and who is poor based on the merits of the case, and
advocates were paid a contingent fee if a money civil case. Judges would get
hired again if honest and fair. Crimes were only against individuals, not the
state.
Think
on that as Flynn told me he received a copy of all the RING videos from Elizabeth
Greenwood, who said she had received all the RING recordings from Shane Aarons,
Shanika’s fraternal twin. Shane downloaded
these from Valerie Jaddo’s computer, where she had them stored, according to
Elizabeth Greenwood, maybe they are all there.
Several of us seeking justice for Steven think there may be at least one stray
RING video unaccounted for with Shane’s batch that incriminates several folks. Evidence
gathering should have occurred, as distinct from evidence suppression. It still
can.
I had viewed the RING tasering video
online, the link provided by John Flynn, before I knew anything else about the
story or Flynn. John had contacted our
new interactive TV network the month before, December, 2019, about running
for president and or US Senate with DebateTourney.com
DebateTourney
is designed to become a 2-Way Mass-Audience Participation TV show series,
allowing all 1,152 candidates who
registered to run for the office of president to engage in debates with each
other on solutions to the problems now confronting us. The audience will decide who won through by PhoneVoting.
With other shows, also interactive, we will launch on Women Leading Interactive TV Network soon.
Despite the grim flaws in the MSM candidates who remain standing, we are
confident we can still impact the outcome of the election in ways thought
impossible since the take-over of debates by the GOP and Democrats after their
encounter with an early, mild form of Interaction responsible for the defeat of
President Bush (Senior) in 1992, replacing him with Bill Clinton. Clinton and Ross Perot, who also broke
through the MSM, were two of the four candidates who received consulting from
our first TV venture, PhoneVoter TV Network, in
’92. You can read the story on the link. Local media can do good when networked natinwide. Walter
Cronkite once said, The press doesn’t just have a role in democracy, it is
democracy.
As
we got to know Flynn, he shared his own attempts to obtain justice against
those in power with us. Flynn was
already aware of the urgent need for judicial reform in Connecticut.
Bernie
Madoff and local Stamford attorneys stole $47-Million from Flynn. The Bank of America assisted by those
in Connecticut controlling its political, financial and justice systems. No reform has yet taken place; the guilty
parties are still in power. Flynn discovered this the first time he filed a pro
se lawsuit, though the attorney he had used had also failed. His lawsuit,
mysteriously, was never filed though all was properly done by him and clerks.
To date, Flynn has filed around 75 lawsuits both in his own case and in cases
such as the one which finally was accepted and given a file number on the
Steven Barrier Case.
Flynn is today
Connecticut’s foremost pro se litigator helping people challenge entrenched
power. As you watch his 167 videos on YouTube, you will see him in a suit to
painter’s clothes, plumbers coveralls to an Uncle Sam hat. He does dirty jobs
for income or donates time with honest hands. He uses his familiarity with
stocks and finance to follow the money, and that often yields bad folks locally
or arrogant nationwide operations. He fights pollution with a plunger, to
cleaning up Manresa to great advantage for local folks if they would listen to
him. Lawyers always stand up in courts or the streets to tell you not to do so,
we’ve learned he speaks truth to power with great courage. Honor that by
shining light with him into secretive corners.
Persistence is a virtue, and John Flynn has been persistent with his
attempts to achieve justice for himself and others. The corruption in the justice system is held
in place by judges in Stamford and elsewhere. Judicial misconduct in collusion
with attorneys prevents the most basic discovery and filings. If a case actually gets to court about police
misconduct, the verdict will often protect those in power. Judicial misconduct which supports and
confirms the problems, denies all of us any hope of real justice. Let your
voice be heard and your light shine.
The
newly appointed judge for the Steven Barrier case is expected to dismiss the
case this week. We cannot let this happen for Stamford or America.
We
owe Steven a real impartial investigation by no one local, and then verdicts
based on the entire truth, one which exposes the ugly, calloused people and
manipulators who conspired to take Steven’s life. The power of truth can change
Stamford, and by example bring the clarity to regain rights we desperately need
to solve problems in the free-market and freedom. Let the guilty, all of them be judged; let
Steven’s life mark the moment when we come together and accepted the truth. Its
up to each of us to figure out what you can do. Each singular act of courage
which can change the future for all of us.
“END”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The following is a set
of summaries gleaned from second by second review of videos numerous
times. You might wish to have these handy when you review the videos yourself:
9:45:05 PM Oct. 22, 2019 – SECURITY
CAMERA FOOTAGE (RING)
Someone is entering the home. This appears to be Steven coming home from
work. Although he usually closed the
Boston Market, he could have changed his schedule to return earlier to handle packing. Steven, according to his social worker,
Elizabeth Greenwood, was moving out of the house in two days to an apartment
she had helped find for him.
While in the house, his mother, Valerie said
during our interview Steven briefly washed himself and went out to see his
friend, Johnny, who lives down the street “on the corner”.
It is likely Steven, juggling school, and a
job, has been packing up his things to be ready for the move. Johnny may have agreed to help him move out. Steven’s father, Steven Barrier, Senior does
not have a car and neither does Steven, Jr.
Valerie said during our interview Steven returned
in just a few minutes but from the security camera footage he appears to have
returned at 11:14PM.
11:14:05 PM October 22, 2019 – (RING)
After
returning to house at 113 West Avenue Steven made himself a cup of coffee.
During our interview Valerie said Steven had an unpleasant encounter with his
half-sister, Shanika, who refused to let him have a little milk for his
coffee. She said nothing about any
violent encounter between Steven and Shanika or herself. It has not been possible to interview
Shanika.

SPD
NOTE: 911 transcript is redacted for “privacy concerns”.
From this point on we see the falsified times inserted
by the Stamford Police begin. If bodycam
footage exists which shows times earlier than AXON’s timestamp is accurate, and
could not be modified by the Stamford Police.
AXON knows this, so do short-sighted police to an extent. Instead, they
used the bodycams to make videos using multiple bodycams. They then used these to create a falsified
timeline, ignoring the AXON timestamps, expecting you too do so as well. For 11
months, it worked. Time’s up. The first
of the falsified timeline videos.
No sign of Steven Barrier
appears. The question raised is where
the police had sequestered Steven after taking him into custody, likely in
agony from the physical abuse and tasering he had suffered at their hands.
It was not at a station, a patrol car, nor any urgent care, it was in the rain
on the ground, video indicates they hand-carried him to another place in the
neighborhood making at least two right angles, because he was in no shape to
walk. Steven Barrier Jr. is only 130-pounds.
Police Time – “11:54 PM”
SPDO – AXON Timestamp 3:54:30AM - 3:57:00AM - Officers posts 2B2 and 2B canvass neighborhood.
This bodycam video was filmed starting at 3:54:30AM, ending at

(Note 3:21 gap in time.)
03:18 AM October 23, 2019 – RING -
The policeman leaves the house and a police car is visible on the left.
(This is the
probable time the police met face to face with Valerie Jaddo to arrange their
cover-up. They appear to have realized
their actions could result in legal charges being made.)
09.59 AM Oct. 23, 2019 – RING - Another
policeman enters the house and two more police cars drive by.
- Officer 2B2
continues canvass of West Avenue area.

(This video shows the sky lightening as
dawn comes on but is falsely saved by the individual using it to put together
as falsified evidence giving the time as 1:29am.)
1:33:29AM October 23, 2019 – RING - Two policemen
walk by and the original police car, on the left, is gone.
Police Time “1:52AM” SPDO – AXON
timestamp 5:54:15AM - 5:57:55AM – Officer assists carrying
Mr. Barrier from patrol vehicle into holding area.
This is
Valerie Jaddo expressing her concern for the police who have tasered, battered,
and sequestered her son on his 23rd birthday.
01.57.38 AM October 23, 2019 – RING - What appears to be a woman with black curly
hair is looking out the door, activating the camera. She is looking
around.
(Valerie Jaddo could be looking for the police
to begin their bodycam shoot inside her home.)
Police Time “1:30AM” SPDO – AXON timestamp 5:30:26AM - 05:50AM “Officer
canvasses West Ave and West Main Street area. Officer then gets into patrol
vehicle with another officer and continues to canvass the area.” Visible:
Nothing happened.
Police Time “1:30AM” SPDO – AXON timestamp 05:30:26AM - 05:50:17AM Officer is at front door with two other officers. Officer joins the foot pursuit and assists officers in apprehension.
The Police Officer sounds badly winded as
he jogs through the various streets. The sky is beginning to
lighten. Then, the officer is hailed by another officer and gets into a
police car with him as they discuss their quest. Officer 2B BWC and
Officer 1C BWC have magically produced nearly the same video for our edification.
The brief descriptions are slightly different, but the AXON numbers are
identical.
Police Time “1:31AM” SPDO – AXON timestamp 05:31:16Z
- 05:41:23AM “Officer canvasses area around West Avenue and West Main.” Visible: An officer is
wandering around in the dark.
[After much ado, this solitary police officer receives updates telling him the
quarry has been sighted.]
Police Time - “1:31AM” SPDO – AXON timestamp 05:31:20AM
- 05:41:23AM “Officer canvasses West Avenue and surrounding side
streets. Officer arrives at the Home Depot parking lot and goes up the
hill towards West Avenue. Officers carry Mr. Barrier down the hill towards
the Home Depot parking lot.” Visible: Officer running alone through the streets. You see several officers carrying something
down the hill.
What the video shows: At 05:43:38, 12 Minutes and 18 Seconds into the video, the officer, identified with the AXON numbering as X8128972, as seen above, drives into an area where what is up ahead is unclear. There are lights and cars briefly visible. The officer appears to have left the car. A light, which maybe a flashlight he is carrying, or one carried by another person walking in the same direction, reveals a group of men in the distance. At 05:43-50 these are clearly seen as a group dressed as police officers. The man in the lead appears to be carrying something which cannot be identified. Then the image seen is a brightly lit commercial building in the distance down a slope. The positioning of the men makes it impossible to see if something is being carried. The group of men, at least 6 - 8 individuals in uniforms, reach the level of the parking lot. The door of a police car is opened and the video ends at 05:44:56, or, 13:36, the end of the video.
Police Time “1:37 AM” SPDO – “Mr. Barrier is Observed
Running Through Properties” Visible: No
one is observed running except the police.
What the video shows: This
is not possible; the time sequence on the AXON is accurate. There is no
reason to believe it is not as the Stamford police produced false times for
every exhibit. If the object the police claim they are carrying is,
indeed, Steven Barrier, Jr., he must be incapable of movement. The
question which remains to be answered is where Steven Barrier, Jr. was kept by
the police after he was tasered, battered, and otherwise assaulted in the
driveway of the home where he lived at 113 West Avenue. He was
incoherent and incapable of standing when he is next seen in the several videos
timestamped by AXON as being made after 5:00 AM. Since Barrier was not
charged this was an instance of kidnapping, a serious crime, in which his
mother, Valerie Jaddo and his half-sister, Shanika, colluded.]
Police Time “1:40AM” SPDO – “Mr. Barrier is ‘Apprehended’
in the Woods Near Home Depot Parking Lot.”
If the previous timeline compiled by
ignoring the falsification of time is to be believed, Steven Barrier, Jr., was
in custody for several hours before he was carried down the slope to the
vehicle.
Police Time “1:40AM” SPDO – AXON timestamp 05:40:35AM
- 05:41:23AM – “Officers apprehend Mr. Barrier and carry him downhill toward
parking lot.” Visible: Police appear to be carrying an unresponsive
object down the slope. No apprehension
is shown, only two men moving the limbs of someone who appears to be
unresponsive.
What the video shows: About ten seconds into the video the viewer
sees two police officers on their knees over the form of a person who appears
to be unconscious. They are moving the form around manually. The
two men put handcuffs on his inert form. At 05:41:06 the audio comes on.
Until now, it has been turned off. Now, a policeman demands Steven get up
and walk. He responds he cannot. He sounds woozy, barely
coherent. One officer checks to make sure he is breathing since there is
doubt of this, apparently. As the several men struggle to lift Steven one
says, "keep his face out of the water." It is clear he cannot
do this for himself. Finally, they are able working together to hoist the inert
form of Steven Barrier, Jr. Barrier groaned and was asked if he wanted to
walk. Barrier falls. He cannot walk. The officers are laughing and joking.
As they reach what is likely the closest patrol car the camera reveals multiple
patrol cars and police standing around. The video ends at 05:44:50.]
Police Time “1:43AM” SPDO – AXON timestamp 05:43:47AM - 05:46:23AM Officers carry Mr.
Barrier down the grassy hill to Home Depot parking lot.
What the video shows: The
clutch of police officers mention taking a break from their arduous
efforts. Steven Barrier's inert form is dumped on the pavement as they go
through his pockets, pulling his clothing up and down. You see his bare
skin a few times and this goes without comment. Steven groans. He
is asked if he wants to 'walk in' or be 'tossed' into the backseat of the
police car. His limp form is shoved roughly into the police car. It
appears he is trying to cooperate but has difficulty in moving. An
officer slams the door and they stand around discussing Mr. Barrier.
One officer asserts Steven is schizophrenic, which is not the case.
The officer then says, "he is going to jail." At the
video ends the police officer is starting the car. It is
05:47:59.
Police Time “1:43AM” SPDO – AXON timestamp 05:43:47AM - 05:41:23AM – Visible: Officers
carry Mr. Barrier down the grassy hill to Home Depot parking lot. Mr.
Barrier is then placed into the rear of the patrol vehicle
of Officer 3A to be transported to SPD Headquarters.
Police Time “1:47AM” SPDO – AXON timestamp 05:43:47AM - 06:02AM Visible:
Officer
transports Mr. Barrier by police car to Stamford Police Headquarters.
What the video shows: They are looking around on the ground. A woman, who sounds like Valerie opens
the door to chat with them. She does not ask about Steven and sounds
casual. The officers are likely there
looking for the evidence of the taserings. There is an overlap here
on the audio as one of the police again asserts Steven is psychotic.
Another officer, apparently responding to Steven's request, which was not
audible, he is hot and wants to be cooler. Since it is late October in
Connecticut and cold outside this should have caused concern for those who have
been manhandling him, but they do not react to the fact Steven should be
immediately transported to the hospital.
The times below are from the AXON
bodycams, with notes on the action and some dialog.
At 05:52:01 AM - They are entering the parking area for the Stamford Police Department.
At 05:54:27 AM - they are
opening the door to the back seat and telling Steven to get out of the
car. Steven cannot walk; he is manhandled out of the car. Four
policemen carry his limp body toward the door from the garage area into the
police station.
At 05:55:15 AM Steven is dumped on
the floor of the rubber room.
At 05:57:27 AM a policeman holding
a phone walks over to the door of the rubber room and looks in at Steven.
At 05:55:30 AM a police officer
looks at his eyes and says, "Look at his eyes", shaking his
head.
At 05:55:47 AM three police
officers decide to move Steven. They drag him, leaning him against the
wall. A woman's voice says, "As long as he is on his side...he is
fine." It is 05:56:01 AM A policeman
begins talking, "Did you guys have - was he - taking narcotics of
anything? It is 05:56:05 AM.
At
05:56:08 AM a policeman says, "She said she gave him his
medication when he got home from work. Thanks all." "...he
left the house or something." Steven had gone down the street to see a
friend, Johnny. Steven then returned home, arriving at 11:14PM The RING
video shows Steven entering the house again at this time.
At 05:56:35 AM another policeman
says, "..he was kicking about in the back seat" Several
policemen take time to comment on his twisting around in the backseat. Steven asked to be taken to the hospital and
said he wanted the air conditioner on.
He was soaking wet and it was a cold night. One of the officers opened the window.
At 05:56:56 AM another
policeman comments, "you see he did this, and they had to pick him up
and put him in the car." Another policeman says, "He was
moving pretty good for a while there." A policeman responds,
"Yeah." Walking out, another policeman says, "You
guys put up a struggle."
At 05:57:14 AM another policeman
says, "he's from the West Side, right?"
At 05:57:27 AM a policeman
holding a phone walks over to the room and looks in at Steven. The
policemen are walking around speaking lower and looking at Steven.
At 05:58:15 AM a woman policeman is
talking about putting a paint cap or a credit card under Steven's nose.
She is grinning.
At 05:58:35 AM several police are
staring at Steven waiting to see some movement, evidently. Several
policemen are standing around waiting for something to happen, it seems.
At 05:59:28 AM the police are
talking about how Steven twisted around in the car. Another policeman
says he did not arrive on the scene until they were dragging him down the
hill. They keep coming in to stare at Steven who is inert on the
floor. Two police are putting on blue plastic gloves. A policeman squats
down and uses Steven's name, apparently trying to arouse him.
At 06:00:37 AM a policeman takes
an object, it looks like a pin, and gouges Steven in the underside of his
foot. There is no reaction. At 06:01:00 AM they straighten his limp
body up a little more against the wall. One policeman tries to hold Steven's
head upright. Steven does not respond.
At 06:02:02 AM another man comes
in the room. On the back of his uniform it reads, Stamford EMS
EAMT.
At 06:02:02 AM the video ends.

[Audio records police talking about how
they were tipped off, which they attribute to 'the parents', meaning
Valerie. Steven is described as like a dead fish. They grab legs
and carry him into the station dumping him on the rubber room floor. This
provides a better view of Steven, who is limp. Question on narcotics, no
knowledge. Better audio, closer to the speakers than the other video of
the same scene. Steven is unresponsive. Policeman is asked if there
is a pulse. Police talking outside the rubber room.
