Lyrics:
Gettin’ born in the state of Mississippi
Poppa was a copper and’a momma was a hippie
In Alabama she was swinging hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for?

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin’on a bank in the state of Indiana
She’s a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way saying baby what you gonna
Lookin’ down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess, I’m your priest
Yeah, yeah

She’s a lover, baby and a fighter
Should’ve seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess, I’m your priest
Yeah, yeah

Who knew the other side of you
Who knew what others died to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true, too say say say

Push the father, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it, Up to Minnessota
North Dakota man was a gunnin’ for the quota
Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last
it only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess, I’m your priest
Yeah, yeah

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess, I’m your priest
Yeah, yeah

2YO Foster Child Murdered, Previous Abuse Complaints on Foster Home – California

November 1st, 2011 9 comments

UPDATE: July 20, 1010. Foster Mom + Boyfriend Formally Charged for Girl’s Hammer Death. Bail Set in Millions. Los Angeles (KABC). A Los Angeles foster mom has been charged in the death of a 2-year-old girl who was killed with a hammer. Police said 30-year-old Kiana Barker was arrested Thursday on murder and child abuse charges. They say Barker initially told investigators she accidentally hit Viola Vanclief with a hammer while trying to free the girl, who had become trapped in a bed frame. But authorities say records show the child had several bruises. The girl died on March 4. Barker is being held on $1.1 million bail. Her boyfriend, 38-year-old James Julian is facing an accessory to murder charge. His bail is set at $1.6 million.

Report: Foster mom previously accused of abuse. March 18, 2010, South Los Angeles, KABC. The family of a two-year-old girl who died after being beaten with a hammer questioned how the toddler was placed in the South Los Angeles home following a report that the foster mother had been the subject of five child abuse complaints.
A South Los Angeles foster mother and her live-in boyfriend are under investigation in the death of a 2-year-old girl who was struck with a hammer. Thirty-year-old Kiana Barker and her boyfriend, 38-year-old James Julian, were arrested on suspicion of murder, then released after prosecutors sent the case back to the police and coroner for further investigation.
Barker told investigators that she accidentally struck Viola with a hammer while trying to free her after the girl became trapped in a metal bed frame from the torso down on March 4.
The coroner ruled the death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma. There was also bruising to the lower back, buttocks and hips, according to the complaint filed by the Department of Social Services.
“How can you hit a child with a hammer and not take them to the hospital. It just don’t make sense to me,” the victim’s sister, Sonja Vanclief of Columbus, Ohio said in a phone interview. “Just talking about it is just so sad because she was just an innocent child. Children are the purest things in this world, especially when they died young, they come back directly from God.”
Multiple agencies are investigating the toddler’s death. Her family now questions whether Viola would have been better off with her birth mother, Olivia Vanclief. The family acknowledges Olivia was bi-polar. The Los Angeles Times reports she was also a drug addict. She is currently in a rehab program, where we cannot reach her.
Yet there were also danger signs with foster mother Kiana Barker. The Los Angeles Times, citing confidential records, reports there were five allegations against her and one substantiated complaint that Barker had severely neglected her own child in 2002. Under state rules, the inconclusive cases should have been entered into the state database and might have precluded a state license.
The non-profit group United Care Inc. placed Viola with Barker. Child care workers failed to discover that Barker’s boyfriend, convicted felon James Julian, was living at the home. Both adults should have been disqualified from caring for a foster child.
“The Department of the Children and Family Services joins the community in mourning the loss of the child Viola,” said Neil Zanville, a spokesperson for the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services. Department officials pledge to work with every agency to determine what went wrong. “Safety remains our first and foremost concern and we’re committed to keeping children safe whenever possible,” said Zanville.
But Viola’s family still has many questions and doubts. “She was a child. She couldn’t fend for herself and in actuality they put her in more danger than my mom would have,” said Sonja Vanclief.
The child welfare workers who were in charge of checking in on Viola have been placed on desk duty pending the outcome of the investigation.
The LAPD juvenile division is seeking the public’s help in the case. Anyone with information was asked to call (213) 486-0580. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=7338830

2 Fullerton California Cops Charged For The Brutal Murder Of Kelly Thomas

Two police officers were charged in the death of a mentally ill homeless man in Southern California who was beaten and repeatedly shocked with a stun gun during his arrest, authorities said Wednesday.

Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said Officer Manuel Ramos was charged with one count each of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of 37-year-old Kelly Thomas after a violent confrontation on July 5 with officers.

Police Cpl. Jay Cicinelli was charged with one count each of involuntary manslaughter and excessive force.

The prosecutors said Thomas was acting “in self-defense, in pain and in a state of panic. His numerous pleas of `I’m sorry,’ `I can’t breathe,’ `Help’ `Dad’ — all to no avail. Screams, loud screams, didn’t help.”

Six officers were placed on paid administrative leave after the incident that occurred while police were investigating reported vehicle break-ins at a transit hub.

Thomas suffered severe head and neck injuries and was taken off life support five days later.

Thomas suffered from schizophrenia and lived on the streets even though he received support from family and friends.

Police said Thomas ran when officers tried to search his bag. A struggle followed when they tried to arrest him for investigation of possession of stolen goods.

Video from a bystander’s cell phone taken from a distance showed parts of the bloody encounter in which Thomas can be heard screaming for his father.

Surveillance video aboard a bus showed agitated passengers telling the driver that officers beat and repeatedly used a stun gun during the arrest.

After the incident, the police chief went on medical leave and the embattled City Council hired a law enforcement expert to investigate Police Department practices.

Incensed community members held demonstrations and started an effort to recall the mayor and two councilmembers over the incident.

Ron Thomas, the father of the dead man, filed a claim seeking damages from the city.

He has previously released his son’s medical records showing Thomas suffered broken bones in his face, choked on his own blood and was repeatedly shocked with two stun guns.
