Oak Lawn Police Officer Patrick O’Donnell is Hamas-linked CAIR’s 5th Target of the Year

As we have discussed here at Geller Report previously, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), uses its access to the television to get individual people fired; this happens as often as several times every month. As of February 2023, there have been five examples of CAIR attacking people or groups this year. The most recent target is Oak Lawn Police Officer Patrick O’Donnell.

A grand jury is charging Officer O’Donnell with aggravated battery and official misconduct:

A source in the Cook County judicial system with direct knowledge of the indictment confirmed Wednesday that Officer Patrick O’Donnell is charged with aggravated battery and official misconduct.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on the other officers involved to also be charged.

Police dash cam video clearly shows Hadi Abuatelah resisting arrest by hiding his hands under his body where he was clinging to a bag containing an illegal, and loaded pistol.

The police chief defended his officers by saying their actions were consistent with their training in a potentially life-threatening situation. This included punching him on the leg and buttocks six times, and lightly in the head in an effort to get him to let go of the gun he was holding.

How light were the strikes to the head?

So light that there are no signs of a beating in the picture of him lying in the hospital. There is no sign of a broken nose, no black eye, swollen lip, not even a Band-Aid. Some of his marks look like someone was finger painting in blood on his face.

But, the hustle must go on.

“What matters here is two adult men on top of a juvenile smashing his head into the pavement. ” “This was excessive force and savage.” – Zaid Abdallah @2:21

But no, it was not savage, and those are the droids we’re looking for.

We can see with our own eyes they were hitting his buttocks and lightly hitting his face.

The mother says cops nearly beat him to death.@2:01

Reports about Hadi Abuatelah suffering a fractured pelvis, multiple facial fractures, and bleeding near his brain are coming from his lying lawyers and no one should believe them. But, they do. Or at least State’s Attorney (district attorney) for Cook County, Illinois, Kim Foxx, does.

We can all see with our own eyes what happened, and judge for ourselves the importance of the gun without CAIR’s instructions. Please take note of the manipulation of the media by brazenly denying what the police video clearly shows. Because it has happened before in the case of Dolal Idd.

Dolal Idd

Police body cam video clearly shows the figure of Dolal Idd aiming a gun and firing it at police through his driver’s side window. Again, from the video it is absolutely clear what happened. But, not to CAIR’s Minnesota director Jaylani Hussein who said it was “inconclusive”. And, he maintained this pose for days on end, even getting on the national news comparing Dolal Idd to the cause of the riots of 2020 – George Floyd. If not for the January 6 “insurrection” disrupting the news cycle, Jaylani Hussein might today still be looking for someone to fire over the justified shooting of Dolal Idd.

Tracy Shooting

And less than two weeks ago, from Tracy, California comes crystal clear police body camera video showing a man with a knife in his hand advancing on a police officer ignoring commands to drop his weapon.  Well, the officer shot him, but not fatally. Although CAIR has absolutely nothing to do with this, they were on TV 12 times desperately trying to get involved. But, all they could offer were things such as “de-escalation tactics” and “cultural sensitivity.” As if we have to accept any culture that likes to have knife fights outside their home. And, the officer did de-escalate. The shooting may have saved someone’s life.

CAIR defied the police video in each of these cases.

And the damage they are able to cause is proportional to the amount of credibility the TV stations give to CAIR’s delusional claims.

So Patrick O’Donnell is the 5^th CAIR TV attack of 2023.

CAIR tries to have people fired on several times a month, and dozens of times each year on TV. But nobody sees it.

If the pattern continues, there will be at least one more attack by CAIR on TV before the end of the month, and over thirty by the end of the year.

“Oak Lawn officer indicted after video shows him, other cops punching teen during traffic stop last year,” CBS Chicago, February 15, 2023:

CHICAGO (CBS) — An Oak Lawn police officer has now been indicted for his role in an arrest that turned violent.

As CBS 2’s Suzanne Le Mignot reported, a 17-year-old was beaten after he ran from police last July. A source in the Cook County judicial system with direct knowledge of the indictment confirmed Wednesday that Officer Patrick O’Donnell is charged with aggravated battery and official misconduct.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on the other officers involved to also be charged.

Attorney Zaid Abdallah said he is extremely happy a grand jury indicted O’Donnell in the beating of then 17-year-old Hadi Abuatelah.

Abdallah would not say how he learned about the indictment. His client’s beating, captured on video, also involved two other officers.

“I just really hope that this is not hot air,” Abdallah said. “I really hope it does go ahead and end in a conviction, to go ahead and send a message out that this was not right.”

Abuatelah was at the news conference held Wednesday at the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. His mother and father were at his side.

On the advice of their attorney, none of them spoke to the media about the indictment involving Officer O’Donnell.

“I see his conduct is more egregious, but I don’t think the other officers are absolved of any wrongdoing either,” said Abdallah, “especially Officer Collins – I mean, you see, he was the one that was beating Hadi about his body, and Hadi ended up with a broken pelvis.”

On July 27 of last year, Abuatelah was a passenger in a car that was pulled over by Oak Lawn police. Police said he tried to run after the traffic stop.

“In this situation, you had three big adult males piling up on a frail minor, beating his head in, smashing it to the concrete, causing severe injuries – in an arrest situation,” said CAIR executive director Ahmed Rehab….

Dear Pamela
I am Theo Prinse, I am Dutch and vote for Geert Wilders
I follow and post Geller News every day since 2010
You even gave me a personal advice when some site threw me off because I posted Geller news and you told me to fight on.

For more than 12 years I have been following the violence and massacres of radical Muslims and Muslim women all over the world and in the Netherlands and I am very afraid so that I have nightmares and cannot sleep.
However, I just got a call from the Police in my hometown Terneuzen (Netherlands) that I have been charged by Benu pharmacy Epicurus Terneuzen for alleged discrimination.on behalf of a Muslim woman employee wearing a headscarf
A few weeks ago I went to the Pharmacy for medicines and I was confronted with a Muslim woman wearing a headscarf.
I believe that public institutions such as the government should be neutral and, for example, should not allow Muslim employees to confront their customers or clients with their political or religious views through symbolism such as a Muslim headscarf.
Public institutions must put the customer or client first and not conversely put the (personal views) of the employee above the customer or client.
The Muslim women who wear a headscarf (hidjab or hijab or hijab or jilbab) in public often do so because they see this as an Islamic prescription. They base this on ayaat from the Qur’an, Surah The Light 31, Surah The Party Hosts 59.

Next Monday, March 6 at 2 pm I have to appear at the police station in Terneuzen
What should I do ?
I emailed Geert to give me a name of a lawyer who can assist me.
I do have legal expenses insurance

I am in favor of the police doing their job and being able to respond decisively in case of immanent threat

CAIR is as far from being a Civil Rights group as any organization can get. They should be labeled as a terrorist group, abolished, disbanded and everyone of their members should be deported out of the US. And their headquarters should be demolished as well.
