"Mentally Ill" Man Kills Police Detective

Note: This incident happened less than a half-mile from my home.

Every year, THOUSANDS of crimes are committed in this country by people who are ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED and tortured. {This is *not* science fiction, my source
for this information is Charles August Schlund of Glendale, AZ whose lawsuit against the U.S.government was appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2001].

The FBI is well aware of the MASSIVE scale of this problem, but refuses to warn the American people about this dangerous situaion. People who are ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED [Electrical Stimulation of the Brain via implanted devices which are *injected* into people are frequently [FALSELY] described as "mentally ill"; this is how the cover-up is done.

Detective shot to death inside police headquarters

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- A police detective was shot to death with his own service weapon at department headquarters early Sunday while he was questioning a potential suspect in a stabbing, the police chief said.

James Allen, a 27-year veteran, was shot in a detective conference room while questioning Esteban Carpio, Chief Dean Esserman said.

Police believe Carpio, 26, who was not handcuffed, got hold of the officer�s gun, shot Allen, broke a third floor window in an adjacent office and jumped onto a service road, Esserman said at a news conference. Carpio was captured after a struggle a few blocks away.

Allen had been questioning Carpio about his possible connection to a stabbing attack Saturday on an 84-year-old woman, Esserman said. Carpio was not under arrest and had been taken out of handcuffs, he said. The woman was expected to recover.

The chief would not say how Carpio managed to get Allen�s weapon, and would not discuss other details leading up to the shooting. Carpio was charged with one count of murder on Sunday night, and is expected to be arraigned on Monday. The charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole, because it involves the alleged killing of an on-duty police officer, according to Providence police.

Esserman would not discuss the protocols for carrying weapons inside police headquarters or for interviewing potential suspects, and would not say if there were witnesses.

�The investigation has begun and we will find answers, but not here this morning,� he said.

Allen, 50, who was married and had two daughters, was pronounced dead at Rhode Island Hospital a short time after the shooting.

�Jimmy Allen passed in the noblest way possible. He gave his life trying to make our lives safer,� said Mayor David Cicilline. �He died a hero.�

Deputy Police Chief Paul Kennedy said Allen was an experienced investigator, and one of the department�s longest-serving detectives. His father is retired Providence police Capt. Lloyd Allen.

Police said Carpio was injured in his jump from the window, and was treated at a hospital for injuries to his leg, arm and head.

A gun, believed to be Allen�s, was discovered below the window where Carpio allegedly escaped. Police were awaiting forensic tests to definitively identify that gun as Allen�s, and link it to Carpio.

Carpio had been seeking help for mental problems, according to his family. His grandmother, Jean Gonsalves, said he was �pacing, talking, seeing things� leading up to the alleged murder.

�We were trying to get him help, and it didn�t seem to be there,� his brother, David Carpio, told The Boston Globe.

The suspect alternately lived with his mother in the Boston area or in Providence with his girlfriend, according to published reports. Meanwhile, the sister of Carpio�s girlfriend says he had a 3-year-old child with his girlfriend and had a job, though she did not know where.

Michael Brady, an expert in police procedures who teaches in the Administration of Justice department at Salve Regina University in Newport, said every police station has areas called �weapons secure,� where weapons are banned.

Those areas generally include cell blocks and interrogation rooms, he said, but not areas such as detective conference rooms.

While police said Carpio had not been arrested, Brady said police comments that he was handcuffed before the shooting indicated he was under arrest and would have been brought into the station in a weapons-secure area, where he would have been searched.

But if Allen wanted to question Carpio, Brady said, it would not have been unusual for him to do so in a non-secure area, and with his gun in his holster.

�This officer was not doing something very different than what police officers throughout the nation do every single day,� he said.

Brady said police departments usually decide on a case-by-case basis whether a suspect needs extra security or other measures during questioning.

In this case, Brady said, �You�re dealing with a 26-year-old alleged perpetrator in what is a considered a serious, violent felony. ... Given this officer�s seniority and experience on the job, the officer clearly felt comfortable doing that with this person.�

Brady said that while all uniformed police officers use specialized security holsters to make it difficult for a suspect to remove the gun, most plainclothes officers use simpler holsters designed to conceal, rather than secure the gun.

Security in government buildings has been a greater concern since early March, when a man in the middle of a rape retrial in Atlanta allegedly overpowered a court deputy and took her gun, then killed the judge presiding over his case and a court reporter. A deputy outside the courthouse also was killed, as was a federal customs agent whose pickup was stolen elsewhere in the area.

In Providence on Sunday, city and police officials were clearly shaken.

Esserman�s voice wavered as he briefed reporters several hours after the shooting.

�It is little consolation that a suspect has been apprehended,� Esserman said. �We�ve lost a remarkable man today, and this city is the worse for it.�

Cicilline called on city residents to pray for Allen�s family, and asked them to make a point of stopping police officers to thank them for their service.

The last time a Providence police officer was shot to death was in January 2000, when Sgt. Cornel Young Jr., off duty and in civilian clothes, was killed by fellow officers who mistook him for a suspect when he ran to their aid during a disturbance outside a diner.

Visitors to the police building have been required to pass through a metal detector since last fall, when a man walked into the lobby with a loaded gun and told an officer he might hurt himself or someone else. Officers disarmed him and no one was hurt.

Man Held Without Bail In Killing Of Detective
Suspect Sought Help For Mental Problems, Family Says

POSTED: 6:03 am EDT April 18, 2005
UPDATED: 6:22 pm EDT April 18, 2005

PROVIDENCE -- A man who allegedly shot a detective to death inside the Providence Public Safety Complex was ordered held without bail Monday on a murder charge.

Esteban Carpio, 26, did not enter a plea in Providence District Court to a charge that he killed Detective James Allen early Sunday morning inside police headquarters as Allen interviewed him about his possible involvement in the stabbing of an 84-year-old woman.

Police said Carpio, who was not handcuffed, got hold of Allen's gun, shot him, broke a third-floor window and jumped out. He was captured after a struggle a few blocks away, police said.

Carpio's face looked bruised and bloody on Monday, and his face was partially obscured by a white mask. A spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections said the shield is a universal precaution taken when someone is bleeding, or if authorities believe a defendant might become combative.

As he was brought into the courtroom, hands and legs shackled and held by several officers, his mother and another woman began wailing.

One yelled, "Oh my God, look what they did to him."

Sheriffs wrested both women from the seats and out of the courtroom as they screamed about a coverup and police brutality.

A third woman remained in the courtroom, hands over her mouth, rocking in her seat. After the arraignment she yelled, "I love you, baby," at Carpio.

Carpio nodded his head to respond to questions during his arraignment, but did not speak, except to say "I love you, Mom," as he was led out of the courtroom.

The single charge of murder carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole because it involves the alleged killing of an on-duty police officer, according to Providence police. The case will now go to a grand jury.

Carpio is being held in segregation at the Adult Correctional Institutions with a 24-hour guard.

The family's outrage continued outside the courthouse.

"They had to put a mask on him because his face is so deformed from them beating him. It's police brutality," Dolores Irish, who identified herself as Carpio's aunt, alleged. "He was mentally ill and he needed help and we couldn't get it. We tried and tried. He didn't deserve this. He's a victim."

"Initially, when we went to the hospital, we talked to the police, they said he only had a leg injury and some minor lacerations. They wouldn't let us see him. Seeing him now, his whole face is just -- massacred," Irish said.

Police Chief Dean Esserman said Monday there was no indication that police used excessive force to subdue and arrest Carpio.

"He jumped out of a third-story window and he struggled in a fairly tough struggle on the ground" when Providence and state police and federal agents caught him, Esserman said. "When I saw him he was fairly cut up."

His family said Carpio had recently been experiencing mental problems. Esserman would not comment about whether police had been told on Saturday, before the shooting, that Carpio was mentally unstable.

Esserman said the department would review Carpio's treatment if appropriate, and would consider a review by an outside agency.

"If (Carpio's relatives) have allegations, if they have concerns, we will not be deaf to that," Esserman said.

A man who identified himself as Carpio's uncle but would not give his name said the family had tried to get Carpio psychiatric help. The uncle said Carpio recently had been admitted to then released from several facilities.

The uncle said the family was sorry for what had happened, and also said it was clear from Carpio's injuries Monday that he had "obviously been beaten very badly."

Allen, 50, of Johnston, was married and had two daughters, and had been a police officer for 27 years. Allen's funeral was set for Thursday followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Thomas Church in Providence. (See obituary.)

Esserman said police from around the state and region will attend. He also invited members of the public.

"Jimmy Allen passed in the noblest way possible. He gave his life trying to make our lives safer," said Mayor David Cicilline. "He died a hero."

Deputy Police Chief Paul Kennedy said Allen was an experienced investigator and one of the department's longest-serving detectives. His father is retired Providence police Capt. Lloyd Allen.

Esserman said Allen's shift had ended at 4 p.m. Saturday, but he had gone out, gotten a meal, and returned to work to keep investigating the Saturday afternoon stabbing.

"I'm going to have to live with that, because I'm the one who asked for us to pull out all the stops on this case," said Esserman, who said he spoke with Allen hours before the shooting.

Esserman said no charges have been filed in the stabbing, and Carpio remains a suspect.

On Monday, Esserman again declined to say how police think Carpio managed to get Allen's weapon. He also would not discuss police protocols for carrying weapons inside headquarters or for interviewing potential suspects.

Michael Brady, an expert in police procedures who teaches at Salve Regina University in Newport, said every police station has so called "weapons secure" areas, where guns are banned. These generally include cell blocks and interrogation rooms, he said, but not areas such as detective conference rooms.

If Allen wanted to question Carpio, Brady said, it would not have been unusual for him to do so in a nonsecure area with his gun in his holster.

"This officer was not doing something very different than what police officers throughout the nation do every single day," he said.

Visitors to the police building have been required to pass through a metal detector since last fall, when a man walked into the lobby with a loaded gun and told an officer he might hurt himself or someone else. Officers disarmed him and no one was hurt.
