On the afternoon of October 2, 2006 my close friend of 20 years James Woodson was standing in the courtyard of his apartment building talking to his wife of 6 months, Pena. He had just gotten home from work, had gotten his mail and was lingering by the pool which was surrounded on three sides by a two story apartment building with the fourth side being open to the street. Fifteen witnesses in the apartment and on the street heard the gunshot and smelled gun smoke. Woodson fell instantly and was unresponsive, though in the panic the .38 caliber bullet wound in the left center of his back went unnoticed until he arrived at the hospital 20 minutes later, where he was pronounced dead.
Police investigating the incident interviewed all the residents of the building except one. An ex cop and terminal cancer patient named Daniel Lisuk. Several of the residents of the building informed the investigating officers that Woodson and Lisuk were not on friendly terms. But the cops acted like that didn’t matter, and stated in their reports that all of the residents in the building had been eliminated as potential suspects, concluding officially that Woodson had been struck by a stray bullet fired from several blocks away and that it had been done randomly. Yes, they actually contended that the bullet which struck Woodson in the heart was a random event.
They never bothered to ask Mr. Lisuk any questions or even knock on his door, or so they said. Five days later, Lisuk took his own life with a .25 caliber pistol in his apartment. The police again dismissed the possibility of Lisuk being the murderer since the gun used to kill Woodson was a .38. Without further investigation, they reported the suicide as unrelated to Woodson’s murder. It wasn’t until a relative of Lisuk’s cleaned out his apartment that he discovered the murder weapon in a drawer. He went to the police who were able to match the weapon to the round that killed Woodson. So the LAPD let this guy decide for himself over five days, if there was anybody else he didn’t like and wanted to kill before killing himself. I have a big problem with that.

I (Ademo) tried to find a news article about the suicide and/or murder but was unable to turn up anything solid. I did find this blogspot post that also questioned the official story. IMO, it seems that the police, knowingly or not, did help cover this up. Either by not investigating Daniel Lisuk as they did the other residents or by simply not caring after the murder weapon was found. Either way, it highlights an example of a crime with a victim and no justice is sought or found by the state institution of police.
Rape, murder, theft, all perks of the job every cop considers his God given right to engage in.
I gotta ask, Ademo, how does someone not knowingly participate in a cover up? To funny
Wichita KS police officer Officer Joseph T. McGill, 28, was convicted today of committing a sexual act on a 3-month-old child and a 1-year-old child. Officer McGill pleaded guilty in January 2012 in an unrelated case to sexual battery while on duty as a police officer and was sentenced to three years probation. Those charges stemmed from separate incidents in November 2010 and February 2011. The judge set sentencing for March 1: http://www.kansas.com/2013/01/24/2649372/former-police-officer-convicted.html
T. Shut your COP ass mouth!
Another idiotic attempt to try and blame a LEO for their friend being shot. No LEO has a .38 cal. Why do smear your friends memory with a stupid story like that? The person with a terminal disease killed himself. Many with terminal diseases kill themselves. Your just angry the retired LEO got a better funeral then your friend.
Chris: Why so hostile? I just asked a question. If someone is going to make wild accusations…and then add something stupid in there like claiming that they somehow unknowingly covered something up…I’d just like to know how someone does that?
the vast majority of cops are crooked, and with the many sites like copblock along with you tube it is showing the public what disgusting civil servants cops are.
Vast majority? Way to shoot for the moon, Steve!
You COPS just don’t get it! My question to you is “What good do you provide to our society?”
And my second question is “When you screw up, who writes you tickets?”
Yo, Oath,
By the mere fact that you are even here on this forum shows your discontent for the opposing view and what a contradiction your weak arguments are if you have an argument at all. Your ramblings are incoherent and a garbled mess of nonsense. Really you have put stupidity at a new level. Judging by what you post really shows your ignorance and lack of education, I mean that is why your a cop. Having made my brilliant analysis and profiling you as the prototypical drone of the state, I too, would have to say you are a crooked fuck stick, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Your stupidity make me smile.
Steve, Chris, Glen; I agree with your analysis of the drones in our fine company.
FUCK A PIG………… ..!.(‘_’).!..
Honestly I’m done debating these fuckers and if I were you other copblockers I would just keep harassing these morons of the state.
Chris: No offense, but are you 13 or 14? Or just that unsophisticated?
But I’ll play along if only for the fun of it…
As for your second question first. There is a website called “Cop Block”. While its only one of many, but ill just refer you to that one. There are frequently articles about police officers who did something that are held accountable for it. Maybe you should look into it.
The answer to your first question is far more vast. The positive aspects of police work is nearly endless. Heck sense the where just calling about on the radio…the shooter at the Sandy Hook Elementary School killed himself when the police approached. He was clearly ready to kill more but the police response lead him to stop the killing by killing himself. Now I know that this is a really easy example….but it’s easy because there are so many example everyday, in every town. So grow up.
T. You just answered my question. I’m not 13 or 14. I’m 3 years old you f**king idiot! The fact is COPS do more harm to society than the positive things. The real reason we have COPS is because of all the weak and stupid people in this world like you.
The strong like myself don’t count on the police for ANYTHING!!! The strong can take care of themselves.
So go f**k yourself T!!!
Well, asking if you were 14 was a gross over estimate. Grow up dude
Slappy…I have a .38. Also have a .357. both revolvers. I actually carry a .38 on duty as a back-up. Many cops have guns of all shapes and sizes.
My question… is this story a result of the writer paraphrazing police reports, or his own interprentation of the events?
PSOSGT,
I carry a colt .45 commander model 1911 with me or my person at all times. Even though it is illegal to do so in my state. I really don’t give a fuck. It is easy to hide in my truck. I keep it loaded. You cops are not that smart and never find it. I work in Chicago all the time and really don’t give a fuck about this states unconstitutional laws. Matter of fact would love to challenge the constitutionality of these draconian laws in federal court. Anyway, the point is if you can carry concealed why can’t I. I would say that I am actually more qualified to carry anything than most of you leos. So the question needs to be asked; What are you leos afraid of, I know what your afraid of, me and many, oh so many like me, you fucking cowards.
Here very soon I am moving from this shit hole and hopefully to city near one of you fine leos. If any of you live in Texas. I love all my weapons, my 1911 has been to Iraq and Afghanistan. It has seen it’s share of action and would say that it has killed a couple of insurgents and hell, a couple of taliban too……..LOL. Fuck em! Hey T.,
Still arguing with people who hate you and wish nothing but ill will to you and your family. LOL…..
Hey OATH,
Suck a dick……
Very adult, just like always. Did they throw you out because the cheese slid off your cracker?
T. Your statements contradict each other. When I said you answered my question. What I meant is you in a way admitted that nobody writes you tickets. I’m sure you and many COPS break the law on a daily basis when it comes to traffic violations – I’ve seen it with my own eyes. The problem I have with that is you get away with it and the rest of us don’t.
You “people” meaning COPS have the authority to write people tickets for whatever reason you desire even if its not true. I say because it has happened to me – the COP should have been writing himself a ticket instead.
And when we file a complaint against you who investigates you? Well – the POLICE investigating the POLICE. How UNFAIR is that?
And then your bosses say to fight it in court. What a bunch of bullshit!!! If we don’t have proof – proving that we are innocent then basically we are fucked!!! Because who is the judge going to side with? Well thats a no brainer. The judge is going to side with you.
Innocent until proving guilty – what a bunch of bullshit.
So once again T – GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!
Chris: Yep, your simplistic “understanding” points to you being 12.
