Cops claim the ashes of a father's murdered daughter is meth and dump them on the ground.

<p>Ta'Naja Barnes' father, Dartavius Barnes, found his daughter unresponsive in her home and she would later be pronounced dead in a Decatur, Illinois hospital. In a lawsuit filed by Barnes against the City of Springfield, he was unlawfully detained on April 6, 2020, and during this unlawful detainment, he was searched by police. During this search without consent, police removed the sealed micro-urn from Barnes' vehicle that contained the ashes of his murdered daughter, unsealed it, opened it, and spilled his daughter out on the ground. In the incident report, an officer wrote, "I have seen similar items like this before utilized to contain narcotics" The officer then tells Barnes that his daughter's ashes tested positive for meth or ecstasy and told him he was under arrest. In Illinois, it is not illegal to have marijuana on your person as they voted to legalize it recreationally in 2019.<br> <br> The officer used this as a reason to search for non-existent drugs and ran field drug test kits on it. The man was handcuffed in the back of a police car for 21 minutes. The officers were about to test the urn for drugs when the man said it was his daughter's ashes. The police claimed qualified immunity in the lawsuit. The officer who cuffed the man is still on the force, as is the officer who dismembered his daughter. The man is suing the police for excessive force and wrongful arrest.<br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/dartaviusbarnes/">#DartaviusBarnes</a><br> .<br> .<br> .<br> .<br> .<br> .<br> <a href="https://www.policebrutalityworldwidechannel.com/2021/05/cops-claim-the-ashes-of-a-fathers-murdered-daughter-is-meth-and-dump-them-on-the-ground/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.policebrutalityworldwidechannel.com/2021/05/cops-claim-the-ashes-of-a-fathers-murdered-daughter-is-meth-and-dump-them-on-the-ground/</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/king-emjay/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/king-emjay/support" rel="payment">h
