Diabetic Man Suffers Multiple Facial Fractures after he is Beaten Unconscious by Rochester, NY Police officers

By Davy V.
Eric Etenberg at Hospital


Eric Etenberg still can't believe what Rochester, NY Police officers Christopher Schreier, IBM # 2233, and another unidentified officer did to him on his own property.

Saturday night, around 11:30 pm, attempting to help a close friend who had been sexually assaulted, obtain a police report, Etenberg called 911 and asked for officers to respond to his Highland Avenue home.

"As soon as they arrived, you could tell that they were really agitated," said Etenberg.

According to Etenberg, who was standing in his garage with the two officers, and his fiancée, after seeing that officer Schreier and the second RPD officer refused to take a report, Etenberg asked the officers to leave his property.

That's when Etenberg says officer Schreier and his partner became enraged, began yelling at him, then grabbed him, throwing him on the cement floor of his garage.

"The officers jumped on top of Eric and began punching him in the face and head with closed fists," Eric's fiancée explained to me as we stood inside the garage, as she and Eric pointed out the dried blood on the cement floor.

"They were both punching me, and after a while I just blacked out," said Eric.

Etenberg's fiancée then showed me how the officers dragged Eric about 50 feet to the curb, which still has dried blood on it as you can see in the photo to the right.

Eric Etenberg's fiancée says as the officers were beating him, Eric's father arrived at the home, and officer Schreier and the second officer taunted the older Etenberg.

Eric Etenberg's blood on his garage floor.
"They dared him to step in as they were beating him, " said the fiancée, whose name I have decided not to publish for her fear of retaliation by Rochester Police.

Etenberg's blood still remains on Highland Ave. curb
Eric, barely able to talk because of the injuries to his face, then showed me more blood, which by now had seeped into the pavement on Highland Avenue.

"Imagine if during the bearing they gave me, they had ripped out my insulin needle," said Etenberg who is a diabetic and has to wear an insulin pump.

Etenberg was rushed to Strong Memorial Hospital by ambulance, lights and siren on, where he was treated for injuries which include the following fractures to his face:

Dried blood on Highland Avenue.
Maxillary sinus fracture.

Fracture of the lateral wall of orbit.

Eric Etenberg's insulin pump.
Fracture of inferior orbital wall.

Zygomatic fracture.

Corneal abrasion.

Head contusions.

Etenberg said he has to meet with a team of doctors who will plan reconstructive surgery.

After the vicious beating, Rochester Police officer Christopher Schrieer charged Etenberg with 2nd degree aggravated harassment, and resisting arrest.


For the past 18-plus years, I have been exposing the Rochester, NY Police department's long history of misconduct, abuse, corruption, and in some cases even murder of innocent citizens.

For the last year, I have been working on my book, which will chronicle the Rochester, NY Police department's history of abuse and corruption for the past 50-plus years,.

My book is nearing completion.

Why is Rochester, NY City Council President, and Mayoral Candidate Lovely Warren "Following" an Individual who has been Stalking me and My Children?

Davy V.
Rochester, NY City Council President
and Mayoral Candidate Lovely Warren



Why is Rochester, NY City Council President Lovely Warren, who is well on her way to becoming Rochester's first woman Mayor, be "following" a disturbed individual on Twitter, named Justin Bainter, who has been stalking me and my minor children?

Since at least early February of this year, Justin Bainter, who claims to be friends with Rochester, NY Police officers, has been completely obsessed with me and my work exposing police misconduct and corruption, mostly on behalf of the Rochester, NY Police department.

It all seemed to have started after I wrote a series of posts titled "Rochester, NY Taxpayer Dollars at Work".

The posts focused on putting a spotlight on something taxpayers don't get to see, how their taxpayer dollars are misused by Rochester, NY Police officers.

The first few pieces I wrote, focused on a select group of RPD officers hanging out, sometimes for several hours at a time, at a Mobil gas station located on the corner of Culver Rd. and University Ave. on Rochester's east side.

Justin Bainter thanks Lovely Warren
for following him on Twitter.
Well, it turns out that Justin Bainter works as a manager, for Malcho's, which not only owns the Mobil gas station, but also owns at least one more, located at 619 Monroe Ave., where Bainter works.

Soon after my posts, I began receiving disturbing emails and messages on social media sites like Facebook and Copblock.org, as well as other sites I write for.

Jusin Bainter

Now don't get me wrong, as a strong advocate of free speech, at first Bainter's comments, were nothing more than that, his right to express his disagreement with my work, and his right to express his obvious "pro-police" stance, and that was fine with me.

In fact I welcome people expressing their points of view, even if they disagree with what I say.

If nothing else, it shows me that my work is having its intended effect, which in part is to create awareness, and in turn start a dialogue, get people thinking, and get them involved, regardless of their stance.

However, Bainter's behavior, and actions, quickly took a disturbing turn.

In early May, as I was getting ready to cross the street to pick up my children from their elementary school, Justin Bainter, driving his navy blue Chevy S-10 blazer, accelerated, almost hitting me, while yelling loud screams out of his driver's window.

I proceeded to get my children, thinking that Bainter had kept going.

He hadn't.

Bainter was parked across the street from the school, watching me walk my children to the car, before he sped off.

Then, on May 10, 2013, Justin Bainter posted the comment on the right, on Copblock.org.

In the weeks and months that followed, Justin Bainter continues to show that he is obsessed with me, and my children.

Not only has Justin Bainter shown that he simply can't control himself or his actions, posting photos of my children on social media, but he has continued to show up at my children's school, and then posts comments on sites such as twitter, saying he will continue to do so.

Just last week, Bainter posted a disturbing photo of my father, who committed suicide in 1993, with the caption "Davy V's coward ass bitch Father that blew his own head off rather then live life with Davy as a son!"

Bainter then posted several more photos of my children, and even a photo of my mother, who has dementia.

Despite Justin Bainter continuing to post disturbing comments and photos of my family, there's something else which is equally, if not more disturbing.

The fact that it seems as though the Rochester, NY Police department is enabling Justin Bainter.

Let me explain.

Even though for the past 18-plus years I have been a very outspoken critic of the Rochester, NY Police department, there were a few members of the RPD who I felt I could trust.

Members such as Rochester, NY Police Lieutenant Jeremy Lindauer, who in the past, told me not to hesitate to contact him should I have any issue.

Well, since Justin Bainter started his sick obsession with me and my children, I have attempted to reach out to Lt. Lindauer at least a half a dozen times.

RPD Lt. Lindauer has never returned my calls, despite my leaving him detailed messages describing the situation involving Bainter.

On several occasions, since May, I have contacted the Rochester City School District, who were first informed of Justin Bainter's behavior, by the principal of my children's school.

After the first time Justin Bainter parked in front of the school and watched as I walked with my children to the car, the principal assured me that she had spoken with the district, and that they would be sending a security team out to monitor the situation in case Bainter showed up again,

No one ever came out.

In fact, just last week, after I contacted Ms. Lori Baldwin, Security Director for the Rochester City School District, Ms. Baldwin admitted to me that she never sent a team out, despite her telling the principal she would.

"Mr. Vara, I only have two security teams, and they were tied up on another matter, and they couldn't make it out," Baldwin said.

Baldwin, a former member of the Rochester Police department, then asked me some information about Bainter, and told me she would be in touch with the school principal.

A couple of days later, the principal told me that the district finally sent a team out who did a "sweep" of the school.

The principal also told me she conducted a "lockdown drill", with the students.

After Justin Bainter posted more photos of my children online, I once again called Ms. Baldwin.

Unable to reach her, I spoke with "Simone" who after explaining the entire situation to her, asked me, "So what do you want us to do about it?"
One of Justin Bainter's early comments


I was speechless.

Simone then told me to contact Rochester Police.

I tried to explain to her that I have tried to do that, but as a result of my work, the Rochester Police has refused to get involved.

Simone then said "Well perhaps you should work on improving your relationship with the department," then hung up on me.

Then, this past Friday, I spoke with Rochester Police Sgt. Mark Mura about Justin Bainter.

I shared with Sgt. Mura not only Bainter's behavior, but also what Bainter has repeatedly bragged about, his affiliation with Rochester Police.

Not only did Sgt. Mura assure me that he didn't know who Justin Bainter was, and that he had never heard of him, but Mura also told me that he would personally direct one of his officers to at the very least write up an incident report documenting Bainter's actions.

Sgt. Mura told me "Davy, I will not treat you any different than I would anyone else, no matter who you are, or what you do."

Mura told me that one of his officers would be contacting me.

No one ever did.

Then, a day after I spoke with RPD Sgt. Mura, Justin Bainter posted a comment on Minority Reporter, saying, "You TRIED to call in a false report yesterday!!!... You spoke with a Sgt. correct?..."

Bainter's comment is proof that he in fact does have some sort of relationship with the Rochester Police department.

How else would Bainter know I spoke with a Sgt.?

Now, one may say, well, his comment may mean that someone from the RPD maybe spoke with him and told him to stop his behavior.

That's not the case.

Wednesday morning, I spoke with RPD Sgt. Mura.

I asked Sgt. Mura had he, or any other RPD officer spoken to Bainter.

Sgt. Mura told me "No."

I then read Bainter's comment to Sgt. Mura, then asked him how would Bainter know about my conversation with him.

Sgt. Mura then hung the phone up on me.

I called and asked for a Lieutenant to call me.

No one ever called me back.

Meanwhile, Justin Bainter continues to exhibit traits of a psychopath.

Unable to control himself and his actions, even sending posting a message, mocking my putting him on notice that if he continued to stalk my children, he would be arrested.

As you can see in the screenshots to the right, Justin Bainter writes "So @DavyVara said I was going  to be arrested today, guess that was a lie, RPD officers got to laugh at #davyv #ROC"

In another twitter message Bainter writes, "It's Monday! And yeah, no cuffs on these hands lol! What a liar you are. I was pulling for you, even held my hands out for it..."

Then, in yet another message, showing he continues to stalk my children at school, Bainter writes, "@DavyVara Did I mention I drove where YOU told me not to also? Just to give them the chance? And well...I'm here, so we see how that went."

But perhaps the best proof that the Rochester, NY Police department is enabling Justin Bainter, is the message below, which he posted on Twitter.



So why would Lovely Warren, who I have openly criticized for her refusal to denounce the Rochester, NY Police department's long history of racial profiling, abusing, and in some cases even murdering unarmed, innocent African-Americans and Latinos, be following Justin Bainter?

Does Warren condone Bainter's disturbing behavior, especially stalking my children at their elementary school?

In the weeks and months that followed, Justin Bainter continues to show that he is obsessed with me, and my children.

Rochester, NY Police Officer Races at High Speeds Near Elementary School, Drives the Wrong Way on a One-Way Street, and Crashes into Car, Injuring Passengers

Is it just me?

Or, doesn't it seem like on the average, every 1-2 months, a Rochester, NY Police officer is involved in some sort of motor vehicle accident, in which the cruiser is either severely damaged, or a total loss, costing Rochester, NY taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars.

On Sunday June 30, 2013 a Rochester, NY Police officer crashed into a parked vehicle on Westfield St., in Rochester’s 19th ward neighborhood, around 5:00 a.m.

Neighbors say the were awakened by a “huge bang.”

One woman, who took the photos on the right, said she came outside and saw what she described as a tall Rochester Police officer, bleeding from the back of his head.

According to neighbors, it appears as if the RPD officer fell asleep at the wheel.

On Monday September 23, 2013, a Rochester Police officer crashed into a vehicle carrying three passengers, injuring all three.

Kia Forte after being hit by RPD cruiser W-71
Photo by Davy V.
Neighbors who stood on the corner of Grape and Campbell Streets on Rochester's west side all said the sane thing,

"That police car must have been doing 70 miles an hour going the wrong way up Campbell', said a man who because of fear of retaliation from Rochester Police, wanted to remain anonymous.

"They don't care. They will cover it all up and somehow blame the driver who was doing nothing wrong," said a woman who also wanted to remain anonymous.

The police car, racing at high speeds gong the wrong way up Campbell Street, which is a One-Way street, struck a white four door Kia Forte sedan, at the intersection of Campbell and Grape Street.

The sedan was traveling southbound on Grape St.

The RPD cruiser, which also had an officer in the passenger seat, was traveling east on Campbell Street.

The crash which occurred around 3:30 pm, sent the sedan spinning until it wound up halfway on a sidewalk, about 30 feet from the intersection.

The RPD cruiser wound up about 45 feet from the intersection.

Not only is it disturbing that the accident happened in a residential neighborhood, but also disturbing is the fact that it occurred as Enrico Fermi School #17, which is located just three blocks down Campbell street, was getting ready to dismiss elementary school children for the day.

Brenda Hardaway Taken Into Custody in Front of her Crying Mother, After Judge Raises her Bail to $25,000; Rochester, NY's African-American Community Remains Silent

By Davy V.
New York State Supreme Court Justice
Francis Affronti

When Greece, NY Police Sgt. Nick Joseph was arraigned in front of New York Supreme Court Justice Francis A. Affronti, in 2008, after he snorted cocaine, and pounded down drink after drink at Spender's bar, then got behind the wheel of his Rochester Police Sgt. brother David Joseph's car, raced down Interstate 390, crashed into a pregnant woman's stalled car at almost 80 miles per hour, rupturing her placenta, then fled the scene, Justice Affronti released him without bail.

On Tuesday September 17, 2013 Brenda Hardaway, a pregnant African-American woman who was driven into a wooden porch deck post, punched in the head, then thrown to the ground by Rochester, NY Police officer Lucas Krull, all caught on a video which has gone viral, showed up to her court appearance to answer numerous charges which the RPD charged her with, including, ironically, assaulting a police officer.

getting ready to punch Brenda Hardaway in her head.
Minutes later, as her mother watched, a court deputy walked up behind her, handcuffed her, and took her away, after Justice Affronti increased her $7,500 bail to $25,000.

Hardaway had already previously posted the original $7,500 bail.

According to Affronti, he believes that there is a viable concern that Brenda Hardaway could have future contact with law enforcement.

Justice Affronti, you're probably right sir, Brenda Hardaway probably would have future contact with the RPD.

Greece, NY Police Sgt.
Nick Joseph after crashing into
pregnant woman's stalled vehicle
while high on cocaine and booze.
Those thugs in uniform will stop at nothing now, to retaliate against her, especially after a viral video of one of their brotherhood cops is being viewed around the world.

And Justice Affronti, about Greece, NY Police Sgt. Nick Joseph, a dirty cop who was convicted, and who you DID NOT sentence him to the maximum, which you could have, a cop whose illegal, and reckless actions and behavior almost killed an innocent little girl who had to be delivered through emergency C-Section, 14 weeks prematurely, how is it that you released him without having to post any bail, but you increase a pregnant black woman's bail to $25,000, who was beaten by an RPD cop?

And despite Brenda Hardaway's beating by a white cop, and what is turning out to be as one African-American man put it, "a modern day lynching", Rochester's African-American community, including its "so-called" black leaders, such as City Councilman Adam McFadden, and Lovely Warren, who just won Rochester's Mayoral primary, continue to be silent.

I wonder what civil rights activist Frederick Douglass, who is buried in Rochester's Mt. Hope Cemetery, less than 4 miles from where Brenda Hardaway was beaten by a white cop, would say.

Rochester, NY Police officer Alexander C. Baldauf Caught on Home Surveillance Video Beating Man

Home surveillance video captured Dwayne Ivery's beating
by Rochester, NY Police officer Alexander C. Baldauf.


By Davy V.

A home surveillance video shows Rochester, NY Police officer Alexander C. Baldauf beating a man, outside his home, as another RPD officer looks on.

Although a bit dark, the black and white surveillance footage shows Dwayne Ivery, at one point trying to cover his head with his hands as RPD officer Baldauf beats the man.

If you look closely, you can see RPD officer Baldauf's own flashlight, illuminating him punching the man repeatedly.

Independent journalist Ted Forsyth, broke the story on Rochester Indymedia.

Rochester, NY Police officer Caught on Video Refusing to Intervene in Youth Football Game Fight

Rochester, NY Police officer
tells parent that he will not get involved
in stopping a fight at youth football game.


By Davy V.

Imagine this.

You take your 7-year old child to their football game, and as you're waiting for his game to start, a fight breaks out, between the two teams playing.

Then you realize that some of the teenagers on both teams are pepper-spraying each other.

You then notice one child is crying, after having been pepper-sprayed in his face.

In the meantime, while all this is happening, you see something you can't believe, or understand.

A police officer is standing there, watching everything, and refusing to intervene.

Rochester, NY Police officer
watches, as youths fight
at youth football game.
That's exactly what a Rochester, NY mother saw Sunday afternoon, at a game held at Franklin High School, on Rochester's northeast side, between the Southwest Colts, and the Baden Street Bulldogs.

"The fight involved mostly the players from both teams, but everyone got off the bleachers and joined in", said the woman who asked to remain anonymous.

"Then I saw this boy who had climbed on top of a tractor after having been sprayed in the face and he was crying," said the woman.

"No one was helping him, everyone was just running right past him and he was crying and screaming 'I can't see, I can't see!', I bought him two bottles of water and grabbed some napkins and helped him flush his eyes out."

"He kept saying 'Please don't leave me, please don't leave me."

The woman said even more disturbing than the fight was the fact that a Rochester Police officer was watching the whole incident, but refused to get involved.

"He was just standing there, basically saying it wasn't his problem," said the woman.

"I mean there were young children there, the tiny mites were waiting on the sideline, and people were running, it was crazy, and he just stood there," said the woman.

The video below, which another woman recorded, after the Rochester, NY Police officer told a woman that the fight was "Not his problem", shows the RPD officer leaning on a fence talking to two different men, telling them why he won't get involved.

If you listen closely, the RPD officer seems to downplay the fight, and justify his not getting involved by telling the first man "No weapons, only fists right now."

Although the audio is not the best, the officer is then heard telling the second man, "Whole lotta adults, coaches, administrators, and parents handle the situation... before cops go in..."

I guess this Rochester, NY Police officer gives a whole new meaning to the played out phrase "To Protect and Serve", huh?
