-This is sooo terribly corny… But still kind of awesome in the sense that a major company like Coca-Cola would make a commercial about painting graffiti on the transit system. Do not expect to see an American ad campaign like this anytime soon…

A Compton teenager fatally shot in the back by a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy in 2009 was not holding a gun, according to the testimony of one eyewitness who sharply contradicted the sheriff’s official account of the shooting.
A grainy video of 16-year-old Avery Cody’s final moments shows the right-handed teen with an object in his left hand — which his family and friends have said was a cellphone, not the revolver that sheriff’s deputies say they recovered at the scene.
Attorneys for Cody’s parents, who are suing the county, said Friday’s testimony is the second significant inconsistency to arise in the case of the July 2009 shooting. The other was when Deputy Sergio Reyes’ account of taking cover behind a metal newspaper rack was contradicted by a surveillance video obtained from a nearby doughnut shop, attorneys said.

The two police officers are about to go trial for rape, burglary and official misconduct for allegedly raping a drunk East Village woman in her apartment. Now, the Post reports that not only are the pair still on NYPD payroll, but there’s apparently a tape of one of the cops apologizing to victim for “getting really crazy.” An ex-prosecutor says, “He tries to deny they had sex, but eventually he admits to it… He says, ‘It wasn’t done intentionally. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just got caught up. I’m sorry.’”
In March of 2009, it was revealed that Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata were stripped of their badges and guns and placed on modified duty after a woman accused Moreno of raping her in her East Village apartment in December 2008. The two cops were dispatched by 911 after a taxi driver had called to say his fare vomited his cab and didn’t have any money. A surveillance video showed the cops helping her inside her apartment and leaving at 1:10 a.m.—but then they returned almost an hour later, staying for about 20 minutes, and then at 3 a.m., the cops return again, staying for 34 minutes.
In order to be in the area for the third visit, Moreno and Mata allegedly called 911 and claimed a homeless man was in front of a building near the victim’s apartment, knowing that they would be dispatched to the neighborhood. The next morning, the woman told her friends that she was raped and later sought medical attention at Beth-Israel and contacted the Manhattan DA’s office. Local bar owner Heather Millstone, who turned over her surveillance footage to the cops, says the victim told her, “I’ve been raped. It was the police.”
The Post printed a transcript of the secretly taped conversation between the victim and Moreno, who is married with two kids, which investigators orchestrated outside the Ninth Precinct:
Woman: “I woke up and you guys were taking advantage of me.”
Moreno: “Nobody took advantage of you.”
Woman: “You were having sex with me. I was violated.”
Moreno: “No you weren’t — nothing happened.”
Woman: “You’re lying.”
Moreno: “OK. It turned from us trying to help you to getting really crazy.”
Moreno: “What do you remember?”
Woman: “I remember getting up the stairs and waking up on the bathrooom floor. The next thing I know, I’m in my bed, you’re taking off my clothes and having sex with me.”
Moreno: “OK”
WomAn: “OK?”
Moreno: “It wasn’t done intentionally. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just got caught up. I’m sorry.”
Woman: “I need to know if I’m OK. Did you wear a condom — yes or no?”
Moreno: “Yes, I did. You don’t have to worry about any diseases or getting pregnant.”
Woman: “Was it only you?”
Moreno: “It was only me.”
Moreno: “If you stop drinking, I’ll be your boyfriend. I’m not a bad man. I’m a good friend to have.”
