When will there be accountability for those who wear the badge?
We shed tears for those who were killed! But who pays the price for those who are killed in their so-called justification?
Jamar Clark was shot and killed by the Minneapolis Police Department. Witnesses say that Jamar was killed as he was handcuffed. The grand jury decided that the officers didn't commit murder.
Two police officers, Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, were involved in the shooting and were subsequently placed in the freezer. The night after the shooting, Clark died at a local hospital after being taken off life support.
In response to the shooting, #BlackLivesMatter organized protests outside the Fourth Precinct police station that lasted for 18 days, as well as other protests and demonstrations in and around Minneapolis. Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced that cases concerning officer-involved shootings would no longer be put before grand juries. On March 30, 2016, Freeman announced that no charges would be filed against Ringgenberg and Schwarze.
Cop walk for two who claimed Jamar reached for the gun.
The officers said that Jamar grabbed the gun while being restrained. The grand jury decided that Jamar's actions lead to her death. For more than 30 minutes in a downtown Minneapolis news conference and with Clark’s family and supporters present, Freeman laid out in meticulous detail the evidence that led to his decision and showed video from the scene on Plymouth Avenue N.
Clark, 24, a black man, was shot in the head during the scuffle.
Officers told Clark to take his hands out of his pockets and he wouldn’t. Ringgenberg, who had initially drawn his gun, put it back in the holster and grabbed Clark’s right wrist. Schwarze grabbed Clark’s other arm and dropped his handcuffs while trying to cuff him. Ringgenberg then tried a takedown move of Clark, and they both fell to the ground with Ringgenberg’s back to Clark’s stomach.
Ringgenberg felt his holstered gun go from his hip to the small of his back. Ringgenberg reached back and felt Clark’s hand on his gun. He repeatedly told Schwarze: “He’s got my gun, he’s got my gun.”
Schwarze put his gun to edge of Clark’s mouth and said, “Let go or I’m going to shoot you.”
They said that his DNA was placed on the holster of the officer's firearm.
The shooting led to international attention, widespread local protests, and an 18-day encampment outside the police department’s Fourth Precinct in north Minneapolis, near the site of the shooting.
In a prelude to rolling out the evidence followed by his decision, Freeman nodded to the spate of killings of black citizens by police officers in Chicago, Cleveland and elsewhere in the past year or so, saying, “This case is not at all similar to others seen around the country,” he said. The officers “did not have an opportunity to withdraw” from the physical conflict with Clark.
The U.S. Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services office announced that they would be conducting a review of the way the city handled the November protests.
#BlackLivesMatter plans to disrupt businesses.
Mike Freeman, Hennepin County Attorney, announced that his office would cease the use of grand juries in shootings involving police officers. The announcement was met with approval from activists and described by the Star Tribune as a "rare move" with potential ramifications throughout the country.
Later in March, in preparation for Freeman's office's announcement about whether they would be pursing charges against Ringgenberg and Schwarze, Harteau released a video warning against "violence or disruption" based on Freeman's actions.
These incidents make it harder for law enforcement to gain support from communities of color.
These issues aren't mentioned by the Republicans. They're too busy trying to tear away constitutional rights from Americans who demand police reform.
Rest in peace Jamar Clark, the system failed you and many others.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Jamar Clark.
President Barack Obama awards The Medal of Freedom to poet Maya Angelou. She passed away in 2014.
When Maya Angelou passed away in 2014, many in America praised the poet for her upbringing towards greatness. Her dynamic stories of growing up in a racially-divided South have become literary masterpieces.
Her praise was going to be notarized on a post office. Although it passed through the Congress without much controversy, the Huffington Post notes that a handful of insurgent lawmakers voted against it.
The post office was going to be named in her hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The lawamakers who voted against the naming were Andy Harris (R-MD), Mo Brooks (R-AL), Ken Buck (R-CO), Michael Burgess (R-TX), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Glen Grothman (R-WI), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Alex Mooney (R-WV) and Steven Palazzo (R-MS), and Rep. Don Young (R-AK).
H R 3735 2/3 YEA-AND-NAY 1-Mar-2016 2:32 PM QUESTION: On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass BILL TITLE: Maya Angelou Memorial Post Office
Notably the Republican lawmakers such as Brooks, Burgess and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) are scheduled to speak at the CNUTS Convention this weekend.
The so-called party of Civil Rights once again at work, trying to destroy itself.
The reason to why they opposed the naming of a post office is because Maya Angelou said positive things about Fidel Castro, the former president of Cuba.
As NBC points out, the bill was debated just after the House unanimously voted to rename a California post office. The 114th Congress has voted to rename at least two dozen other public buildings.
One of the congressmen who voted against the Maya Angelou Memorial Post Office called the poet "a communist sympathizer."
"His parents escaped communism and he feels that he cannot vote to name a post office in the United States in honor of someone who supported the communist Castro revolution in Cuba," a spokesperson for Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) told NBC. According to his campaign website, Harris' father was born in Hungary and his mother's birthplace was Poland.
In 2015 a United States Postal Service stamp was issued commemorating Maya Angelou with the Joan Walsh Anglund quote "A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song", though the stamp mistakenly attributes the quote to Angelou. The quote is from Anglund's book of poems A Cup of Sun (1967).
The Republican revisionist history says that Ronald Reagan was friend of Black America.
The Republican revisionist history says that Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves.
The Democrats passed the Jim Crow laws. The Democrats founded the Klan. Even with a Democratic President like that "racist" Lyndon B Johnson, the Democrats didn't passed the Civil Rights Act. It was the Republicans.
Jeffrey Rothecker had a blast peppering a protester in 2008. This happened at the Republican National Convention in 2008.
If it wasn't for those rascally activists on social media exposing racism, this St. Paul lawman would have gotten away with his offensive comments about peaceful protesters affiliated with the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
Andrew Henderson found out about the troll through his family life. He managed to figure out who the troll was by looking through the profiles of JM Roth.
JM Roth was a notorious troll who often posted offensive comments on social media and its comment sections throughout the web. He managed to get caught this time after a savvy internet sleuth found his wife was named Rothecker. You put two and two together and he found out that JM Roth is a member of the St. Paul Police Department. He was outed as Jeffrey Rothecker.
At the time, his superiors put him in the freezer pending a potential cannon firing. They had to filter through his social media and concerns from other residents who were trolled by him.
Corrupt cop said run #BlackLivesMatter activists over!
Before he was to face a cannon firing, he resigned from the department.
The now former St. Paul lawman admits that he was trolling.
The troll was outed after he posted that offensive message about a #BlackLivesMatter protest on Martin Luther King, Jr. day.
Here's what Jeffrey Rothecker said on social media.
Internet savvy activist outed corrupt cop. Andrew Henderson of CopWatch and PhotographyisNotaCrime brought "JM Roth" to the St. Paul Police Department.
Run them over. Keep traffic flowing and don't slow down for any of these idiots who try and block the street. Here is the deal, you continue to drive and if you hit someone make sure you call 911 to report the accident and meet the cops a block or two away and you can justify stopping further away because you feared for your safety since the past people in this group has shown a propensity towards violence. Since they are trying to block the street and/or cross where there is no crossing you should not be charged with anything. Now these idiots could try and sue you in civil court, but remember that it will be jury trial and so most likely it will come out in your favor.
Once again, after being outed, the former lawman tearfully apologized and say he's very sorry for the post on social media. I am extremely sorry for posting what I did, I understand that the post was insensitive and wrong. My poor choice of words conveyed a message I did not intend and am not proud of. Shortly after submitting the post, I re-read it and deleted it. As a law enforcement officer, I would never intentionally encourage someone to commit a crime. I very much regret my actions. I apologize to all the citizens of St. Paul, the department, my fellow law enforcement professionals and my family for the scornful attention my mistake has brought upon them. I apologize for exposing all law enforcement officers to increased scrutiny, during this difficult time of ongoing conflict between officer and members of the community. I apologize to the community members who participated peacefully in the protest, --Sergeant Jeff Rothecker
Not everyone is taking the apology with sincerity. Mayor Chris Coleman said in a statement, "I continue to be outraged by the online comments. While an apology is certainly in order, it is not sufficient to repair the trust that has been broken. Beyond that, Minnesota law prevents me from talking about disciplinary action until any employee appeals period is over".
He apologizes after he was hit with death threats and calls for cannon firing. Jeffrey Rothecker and his wife took to hiding after he fired himself out the cannon.
Some people come to the defense of Rothecker.
The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police issued a press release saying that mistakes happen. The public should forgive him and move on.
"The public should be aware that Sergeant Rothecker is an honorably discharged veteran of the United States Army. He has served the City of St. Paul for over two decades as a police officer. He has many supporters in the community and among his fellow officers."
Chris Coleman, mayor of St, Paul.
You should understand what Rothecker done. Like the other asshat cop in Ohio, this fool posting on social media posting gave Black America an understanding potential police brutality by some in the St. Paul Police and its neighbor Minneapolis. Of course this happens when tensions are high post Jamar Clark.
Jamar Clark was killed by the Minneapolis Police. Some accuse the law of shooting him while being handcuffed. The U.S. Justice Department is investigating the situation.
Rothecker's actions give me reason to justify that many in law enforcement engage in profiling. This doesn't just affect St. Paul Police Department but the law enforcement agencies of Minneapolis, Andover, Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids and numerous other communities.
The first week of January begins another round of internet traffic for the social dating websites.
It's a huge week for the world's most poplar dating websites. OKCupid, POF.com, eHarmony, Badoo, Match.com, and Tinder are seeing a spike in traffic.
There's a website that's not seeing a spike in traffic.
There's a website that is causing an uproar. It's called WhereWhitePeopleMeet.com and its generating a dose of controversy. The creator of the website says that he developed Where White People Meet as an alternative to the other dating websites that cater to certain groups.
The creator of this said that he's not a racist. He just want to keep it rational. After all, he finds blackpeoplemeet.com, Blacksingles.com, Jdate.com, latinocupid,com, Latinpeooplemeet.com and singlemuslim.com and gay.com.
He says that he's not in the business of political correctness. He's in the business of finding couples to find love. He said that he dated Black and Hispanic women....
The site's founder, Sam Russell, anticipated some backlash from his startup, which is why he told the Washington Post that he isn't racist.
"It's about equal opportunity," Russell said. "The last thing in the world I am is racist. I dated a black woman once. I helped raise a young black man… I just believe it’s hypocrisy to say ‘one group can do this, but another can't.'"
Russell added that his site which launched in December "is not racially motivated in any way," and his policies prohibit racist or hateful messages.
However, how people choose the partners when dating can often be racially motivated, according to 2013 OkCupid data. Black women and Asian men are likely to receive fewer matches and messages on the site than any other group.
So while Where White People Meet's founder may not be racist because he dated one black woman or didn't have "racially motivated" intentions in creating this dating site -- the good news is that you can meet even more white people on the internet for as low as $4 for your first week.
It so far gained 421 supporters so far.
Did you know Whites and Republicans are the most angriest groups in the United States?
What they see in the junk food media riles them up.
Whites are declining in population. Non-Hispanic White people are 72% of the nation's population. Unfortunately, interracial births are on the rise.
Whites believe race relations went downhill the moment Barack Obama got into office.
The Whites believe that they're likely footing the bill on the issues that involve Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and those in the LGBT.
That's the stuff that fueled Donald Trump's rise to the top.
By the way, President Barack Obama is interracial but identifies himself as a Black man.
Trump blames Clinton for terrorist recruitment video.
Hillary Clinton was caught telling a lie. Politifact rated her claim that the Islamic State uses Donald Trump in recruitment videos is false. But using Trump in an al-Shabaab video is true.
The Republican frontrunner and conservative agitators are the best recruitment tool for the terrorists.
The al-Shabaab group are allies of al-Qaeda. It's a notorious group operating out of Somalia, Sudan and Kenya. The group is lament's term is a known as the "Youth Islamic Resistance". The group has carried out mass causality attacks across many urban regions in 10 countries. It often uses the internet and social media to attract Westerners and social outcast to the group.
The video starts off with excerpts of Malcolm X and Anwar al-Awlaki. The video urges Black Americans fed up with racism in the United States to join their movement. It brought up the Michael Brown, Freddie Gray and parts of the al-Jazeera's Black in the United States documentary.
In portions of the video al-Awlaki brings up the Army major Nidal Hassan. Hassan who is facing the gas house at the military brig. Hassan opened fired on 13 of his fellow military officers in 2009.
The video is spoken in English and Arabic with subtitles.
For the most part, the Trump campaign said, "Good for them". Donald Trump on GOP Sundays vows to take on the threat of terrorism (or uh, radical Islam).
The conservatives and Republicans are squawking about radical Islam. The candidates as well are bragging about what they could do if they're in charge.
Unaware that they're rhetoric is sparking a movement of extremism.
Tweet, tweet...Twitter takes a stance against online trolls.
The second largest social media website has decided to find reasonable ways to take on the ever so annoying internet troll. The internet troll is a person who is often seeking attention by causing disruptive discourse.
The social media website Twitter has decided the time is now for an abrupt overhaul of negativity.
What's being done is purely simple. Twitter wants the elimination of hate speech, links to terrorism, abusive trolling and inciting language wiped off the site.
Today, as part of our continued efforts to combat abuse, we're updating the Twitter Rules to clarify what we consider to be abusive behavior and hateful conduct. The updated language emphasizes that Twitter will not tolerate behavior intended to harass, intimidate, or use fear to silence another user's voice. As always, we embrace and encourage diverse opinions and beliefs. But we will continue to take action on accounts that cross the line into abuse.
So therefore, if a Twitter troll engages in contact with me if I post a video about a Black child being burned badly getting facial recognition, and a racial agitator starts throwing the NIGGER comment around, it should be easy for Twitter to spot it.
Leelah Alcorn was a pretty face lost to the ignorance of trolls. The young transgender teen killed herself after being tormented in school and rejected by her family.
In case of an account being called out, the Twitter people could suspend the account for a period of time. They will notify the user if they're in violation of the rules. But in case of them creating more accounts, they may be forced to have a number verification. They may be asked to verify their phone number and be directed to delete the offensive tweets in order to have access to their accounts.
Facebook is trying to work on eliminating the trolling and negativity.
In memos to employees, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo had taken responsibility for this.
Many of the social tweets may come from groups the West deem a threat to society. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has taken to social media to promote their message against Western forces. They often show graphic videos and post messages threatening the United States and Europe.
The Twitter rules now will deal with potential attacks upon a person's race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability or disease.
It's going to be a needle in a haystack to find the ones who cause the trouble, but Twitter is devoted to getting rid of it.
Facebook troll got fired out the cannon for posting racially charged insult towards BlackLivesMatter protesters.
Did you know that a man who posted on Facebook about BlackLivesMatter got fired out the cannon?
This jackass Brad Schultz from Minnesota went to the official BlackLivesMatter website posting his feelings about the group's protest at the Mall of America. Schultz went into the website to complain about the protests.
"You dumb fuckin niggers. Get out of town with your bullshit protesting. The loser (Jamar Clark's) life deserved to get shot for not cooperating with police. You make yourselves look worse. Get off your ass, get a job, do something....Just leave, white people don't like you"
Someone captured his screenshot. They found out that he worked for Archer Daniels Midlands Company. The blog RacistsGetFired made contact with his employer.
He quickly apologized for his comments. He was pretty upset that the junk food media got a hold of his comments.
"I'm very sorry for the rude comments I made. It was cruel, and I didn't mean it. In no way is my workplace affiliated with these comments. Please delete them. Again, I'm truly sorry if I offended anyone".
The apology wasn't well received. Schultz was fired out the cannon yesterday by his company. They took to Twitter to formally state that this type of behavior is unacceptable and the person in question no longer works for the company.
This marks a year since the death of Leelah Alcorn, the transgender teen who committed suicide on Interstate 71 in South Lebanon, Ohio after she was being taunted in school and rejected by her family.
Her story told the tales of being shunned by the internet and being rejected by her family.
I also heard Erick Erickson isn't too happy about it. The notorious Twitter troll left his blog RedState to focus on TheResurgent. The conservative agitator filled in for that old fart Rush Limbaugh today.
Erickson complaining about liberals "forcing down Americans throat" political correctness.
The Republican Party is the best recruitment tool for the Islamic State.
Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant want Republicans in the White House. They believe the Republican Party and its conservative allies are stupid. They see their rhetoric as a reason to inspire individuals who feel lost, forgotten, hated and hurt. The terrorists can prove to the inspired that Western nations are bigoted to Islam. They can say that Israel's influence on the world is the reason to why Muslims suffered at the hands of Western powers.
Republicans will try to cut government agencies. Some of those government agencies are essential to the health and safety of the United States. They will unwittingly allow terrorists a loophole.
Still up in the polls. Donald Trump's rhetoric is extreme but Republicans love it.
They will continue to relax gun laws. It will be more easier for a person to obtain a firearm now that Republicans continue to block gun control regulations.
The terrorists take advantage of the opportunities Republicans leave them.
People who get inspired by rhetoric by Islamic State will leave their families to join the extremist group. These are probably people who were bullied by society. They were spurned by a relationship. They were loners. They were the "NICE GUYS and GALS" who many never expected to be involved in terrorism.
Even in intelligence, the terrorists are getting better at alluding the spies. The terrorists believe that the United States will bankrupt trying to fight a faceless enemy.
The United States is actively attacking the group. The U.S. airstrikes are happening daily in Syria and Iraq. President Barack Obama is cautious about putting more troops back into Iraq and possibly Syria.
The Republicans are crowing that the president isn't doing not enough.
Sarker Haque got a shiner after a bigot came into his store and punched him in the face.
Since the San Bernardino attack, many in the conservative media shifted focus to terrorism. The Republicans and their conservative allies have the only muscle they can use when fighting terrorism.
It's their tongues. Their tongues are slobbering with rhetoric that could inspire attacks on innocent civilians who are worshiping Muslims.
Now I don't blame the agitators for the rise in hate crimes. I am done trying to fault these people for spewing hate. They are allowed to spew hate. The fault of the actions carried out solely goes to the person who committed the crime. But let's do a poll before I go into my post.
Who's responsible for the rise in hate crimes against Muslims?
The word vomit de jour is "radical Islam". The agitators and candidates running for president have been on this kick about President Barack Obama not mentioning "radical Islam". They want the president to show leadership. Given a solution to handle terrorism, the Republicans and their conservative allies have two things on their mind: military boots on the ground or bomb them to hell.
Remember we have the freedom of speech to spew whatever nonsense we can agitate to the public with. It's unfortunate that the consequences could inspire people to violence.
Man assaults a cashier as a restaurant in New York.
A handful of sponges soaked up the rhetoric and reacted towards their fellow Americans. And what for reason? Because they believe if you're a worshiping Muslim, you're a terrorist.
A handful of Republican primary voters support the Trump idea of banning Muslims from entering the country. What's worse is the fact that religious tests are the very thing our founding fathers opposed.
A man in New York has been charged with a hate crime after he launched a profanity-laced, violent outburst at a restaurant in Manhattan.
The workers at this restaurant called Salt and Pepper was disturbed by the ignorance of Robert Murino. This 26-year old sponge soak was drunk and he began throwing his temper tantrum at Muslims.
He was caught on surveillance video hitting a worker with the five finger knuckle roll. He was ordered to leave the restaurant. He decided he didn't like the way he was being talked to, so he decides to pick up chairs and toss them over the counter. Some of the chairs ended up smashing the food case and food counter.
Tahir Mohmood was working behind the counter. He said that the sponge soak got violent after he started throwing his word vomit at paying customers about Muslims. He decided to throw his five finger roll at Tahir.
"You Muslim guys, you motherfuckers" was the word vomit chanted by Murino.
Tahir tried to defend himself from the blows and the flying chairs. While he went crazy, a witness Lina Parvin called the law. She was hiding under the counter crying.
Hate continues in the Western world.
"I feel so sad, that at night I can't sleep you know. I can't sleep the whole night because I'm really afraid," said Lina.
Murino was busted by the NYPD and was charged with criminal mischief and assault. They will likely charge him with a hate crime.
While that was going on in Manhattan, another man gets five finger rolled by another sponge soak.
The sponge soak managed to deck a Queens store owner. This happened by a man who wanted to "kill Muslims".
Fatima Food Mart owner Sarker Haque told the junk food media, that this sponge soak came into his store last Saturday and began serving him a five finger roll.
Brigitte Gabriel is a right wing extremist who appears on right wing networks.
"He punched me here," said Sarker, motioning towards an ice cream cooler. After being decked in the face, he tumbled over towards the floor. Sarker told him "What the hell you doing? What's wrong with you?"
The sponge soak said that he wanted to "kill Muslims".
Sarker was fighting back tears when he told the junk food media that he emigrated from Bangladesh to make a life in the United States.
The sponge soak was identified as Piro Kolvani. He would have put Sarker in the hospital. If it wasn't for the actions of a Latino customer, Sarker would have been dead.
Kolvani will likely be charged with a hate crime.
"It doesn't matter what color or nationality you are," said Sarker. "We are in America. Everybody came from somewhere,"
There was a young girl in The Bronx was attacked by three boys at her middle school. The girl was a sixth grader who was playing recess. The three boys grabbed her hijab and tried to rip it off. They were taunting her. They referred her to "ISIS" the junk food media's portrayal of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Vandalism. The ignorance sprayed on a mosque.
The boys put the girl in a headlock and punched her. They tried to pull off her hijab. The NYPD responded to the call and reported the attack at P.S. 89. It was called to school administrators.
The boys were placed in juvie time out. They face a court date for the allegations. The names of the victim and attackers were withheld.
The principal declined any comments when the junk food media swarmed up on the school.
The young girl and her family will likely file a lawsuit against the school and attackers.
Down the road, the Philadelphia Police and the FBI are investigating the deliberate act of hate at a mosque. There was a severed pig head left at the door of the mosque.
Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter said that these cowards will be brought to justice.
The head was found outside the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society early Monday morning.
Pork and products with byproducts of pork are haram or forbidden, in Islam.
Surveillance video shows a red truck driving by the mosque. On the return, the red truck stopped and someone decided to toss a butchered pig's head towards the door.
"It's too early in the investigation to determine if it is a hate crime, but I aniticapte that will be the direction the investigation will go," said Philadelphia top cop Leeloni Palmiero.
An earlier threat came to the mosque. A man said on a voicemail, "Are you happy about what happened in France?" "God is a pig!" and "God is pork!"
The Bonnie & Clyde of anti-Islam. Pam Geller and Robert Spencer peddle Islamophobia.
Nutter didn't spare anyone in his press conference. He slammed Trump, Ted Cruz and Benjamin Carson for their rhetoric. He called Trump an "asshole".
Now you know there were more incidents that happened besides what I've explained today.
It also goes to the recent incidents in California.
A sponge soak named Denise Slader threw coffee in the face of Rasheed Albeshari after he filmed the woman go into a verbal tirade about how Islam is the "devil religion". A park ranger intervened and told Slader to leave, she gets more irate when Rasheed told the ranger that she solely instigated the situation. Rasheed and his friends were praying in a park in San Francisco.
There was a fire at a mosque in southern California. In the deeps of Coachella, a community is gripped by a callous act of terrorism. In the wake of the San Bernardino attacks, Muslims in California are fearing the backlash.
The Islamic Center of Palm Springs was attacked by a firebomb. The fire was contained to the front lobby. No injuries were reported by the law.
They are Americans who want to worship in peace.
People inside heard a "loud boom" and started seeing flames. Imam Reymundo Nour said this incident is a result of the stroking fears of politicians and those in the junk food media.
A spokesman for the Riverside County Sheriff's office declined to state whether the event is considered an act of terrorism or an arson.
The mosque is 75 miles from San Bernardino. The attack has went into its second week and conservatives are still egging it on. The sponges keep soaking up the narrative that American Muslims are secretly plotting for the destruction of the United States.
The mosque was hit by gunfire in November 2014 in what authorities investigated as a possible hate crime. No one was injured in this attack but this case is still under federal investigation.
These incidents have Muslims fearing terrorism from their fellow Americans.
Democratic lawmaker Rep. Rual Ruz of California said that this act is tragic. He believes this is a result of a hate crime.
What we should call these incidents explained as acts of terrorism.
I am tolerant of race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and economic standings.
Everyone has a bias towards something. I admit that I do have strong bias towards things as well.
My biggest bias is towards idiocy and ignorance.
I want you to understand that I do not fear Muslims. I am not afraid of terrorists. I am not going act like a hero in a mass shooting event.
If I have to protect myself, I would use a firearm. But I rather have firearms in the hands of law enforcement, military and those who are qualified to handle them.
I want too see a stricter background check on people who purchase firearms. I want gun owners to have liability insurance and mandatory jail time for misuse of their firearm.
I want Republicans and Democrats to stop bickering over issues that aren't relevant to the country.
Gun violence is the number one threat in our country. Terrorism is a threat but it's not a daily occurrence. We have more gun incidents in our communities. More than most of the modern world.
Anyone who loses a child or a parent to gun violence is terrorized by this.
If the San Bernardino event was classified as terrorism, why don't they have every mass shooting or single gun crime be labeled as terrorism?
Why must we continue to fight each other on who's patriotic?
Why does the junk food media and politicians continue to stroke the fear for ratings and short term gains?
Three White extremists were arrested after they opened fire on #BlackLivesMatter Protesters.
Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings says that the biggest threat to the United States are White men. The mayor of one of the largest cities in the country said that White men are shooting up churches, movie theaters and schools. He said that vilifying refugees proves the Islamic State's point that America is waging a war against Muslims.
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said that he would have more fear of White extremists than Syrian refugees. He said that Muslims are not the problem here.
This is coming from two White men. They are Democrats and they're telling the truth.
The conservatives were outraged over these comments. They automatically accused the politicos of playing the "race card" and playing down the threat of terrorism.
Republicans played down the threat of terrorism on September 11th. How come they get a pass on it?
Anyway, the Department of Homeland Security had this document drop back in 2009. They said that the rise of right wing extremism will LIKELY increase now that we have a Black president.
The declassified memo said that White male resentment will fuel anti-government rhetoric, a rise in firearm stockpiling, and threats on non-White Americans.
Jamar Clark was killed in police custody. Many residents demand reform.
We haven't had a major terrorist attack on the United States since the September 11, 2001 attacks.
We have had more mass shootings in the United States. The FBI and U.S. Justice Department have broken up plots by White extremists. It's not getting much notice because "concerned" Americans are so scared of Muslims.
It seems like the proof is in the pudding. There are over 1,100 active hate groups in the United States.
The hate groups are inspired by the internet. The conservative Craigslist and that right wing network are fueling tensions. Besides those two entities, you have Alex Jones and his kookspiracy networks.
You also have the conservative agitators on television/AM radio, the internet and comment section.
All of these groups spark the flame.
There was a shooting in Minneapolis. The police gunned down Jamar Clark. According to witnesses, Jamar was handcuffed at the time. The law says that he struggled for the firearm.
Regardless of what happened, it became a national story. Many in the #BlackLivesMatter movement have called for the release of video showing the incident.
They planned a shut down of one of the Minneapolis Police stations.
It's attracted the attention of Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN). He was very upset over the fact the law had a firearm pointed a protesters. One of those protesters was his son.
The Jamar Clark controversy is timed along the Laquan McDonald and Tamir Rice issues. There's been over 600 fatal police shootings in the United States this year.
This is sparking feverish pitch for body cameras, more training, better community relations, and accountability for officers using deadly force. It has become the premise of #BlackLivesMatter.
That is often ignored by the noise of the conservatives. They use false equivalencies such as Black on whatever crime and gun violence in the Black community as a deflection. They pretend to be "concerned" about the safety of Black America.
That right wing network puts on the showboating Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke to debate these fatal police shootings. Clarke, a Democrat (actually an independent who supports Republican) has been more incline to hold police officers accountable for reckless calls. He says that the use of force is justified. He along with Mark Fuhrman will not listen to the concerns of the activists.
Clarke has been often criticized in his own community for being too focused on his political ambitions than focusing on the rise of crime in his county.
There were counter protesters who were heckling the #BlackLivesMatter protesters. They were armed and they've showed up constantly threatening the protesters. The were motivated by a certain White extremist network. They wanted to film the encounter with the protesters.
This hasn't gotten much junk food media attention. It probably had some play on Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. It was mention by Cenk Uyger of The Young Turks.
The suspects were trying to troll #BlackLivesMatter on social media. They came up on the group filming them. The protesters asked them to leave and they tried to chase them off. They end up pulling out their firearms and start shooting.
Three men with ties to White extremists were arrested after they fired upon #BlackLivesMatter activists Monday night. There were six people injured in the shooting. Some in social media claim that these individuals were using "self-defense".
They will be charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder. The U.S. Justice Department may intervene. These men may face hate crime charges. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Allen Lawrence “Lance” Scarsella III, 23, was arrested in Bloomington. Sources said Nathan Gustavsson, 21, of Hermantown, and Daniel Macey, 26, of Pine City, were taken into custody after they turned themselves in. All three suspects are white.
These men are innocent until proven guilty.
The charges alone could carry LIFE in the iron college. If the federal government charges these individuals for a hate crime, they may earn an additional 20 years on the tab.
One man who was a Hispanic was detained but later released after they found that he had nothing to do with the shooting.
The protesters said that the fight isn't over. They vow to hold Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges and Minnesota's Democratic governor Mark Dayton accountable. The protesters will continue the push for police reform.
World News Today send our prayers to the victims of this senseless tragedy. We also send our condolences to the family of Jamar Clark.
It has attracted of the folks over at Raw Story. The son of Minnesota's Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison was filmed with his hands up while an officer was aiming his service weapon at him.
Jeremiah Ellison and others were removed from a protesting site close to the police station where the two officers were stationed at.
Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) and his children. His son Jeremiah was caught on camera with his hands up and the law pointing their high powered firearm at him.
As a lawmaker and a parent, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) wasn't pleased to see the law draw their weapons on protesters. Especially one being his own son....Ellison took to Twitter to blast the officers and call upon mayor Betsy Hodges to do something about this.
Late last year, the mayor was facing controversy from a local news station and the Minneapolis Police Union. Hodges was doing charity work for the city and she happened to be posing with an activist and doing a peace sign. They believed that peace sign was a gangsta sign. The activist was once a gang member who renounced his past and is working on encouraging youth to stay out of the lifestyle.
Minneapolis police shot Jamar Clark during an altercation in which they claimed he was disorderly.
The shooting happened on Saturday. Jamar was taken off life support Monday. Many in the junk food media initially thought he died at the scene.
The officers claimed that they responded to domestic violence call in which they determined that Jamar was the suspect.
They said that he interfered with the emergency workers. The officers placed Jamar in the cuffs. He was placed on the ground. They said that Jamar tried to reach for the firearm and Taser. Residents say that the officers shot him at point blank range at the whim of Jamar being handcuffed.
The officer who likely pulled the trigger is facing the most scrutiny.
It attracted BlackLivesMatter activists to the city demanding accountability.
Conservatives tried to paint the Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges as anti-cop because she took a picture pointing at an activist who was once a gang member.
The officers involved Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze were placed in the freezer pending a grand jury decision to determine if the call merits criminal misconduct.
The Guardian reported that a former police informant sued Schwarze in 2011 for allegedly subjecting him to “continuous and unbroken sequence of unlawful searches, intimidation and phone threats.” The suit was settled out of court.
The protesters are pissed that the junk food media is releasing the information about Jamar and his run ins with the law.
Of course, Jamar wasn't armed at the time of his passing.
There is video evidence on their body cameras and also video from nearby buildings. Not to mention the social media. There may be someone who is willing to post the video on social media to disspell rumors.
What will the junk food media use? Will they use this picture or his mugshot?
Since the conservatives are worrying their asses off about "radical Islam", they haven't caught up to the controversy yet. But as soon as the first mention of unrest comes up, expect the agitators from that right wing network to be front in center blaming the mayor, BlackLivesMatter and President Barack Obama.
I am assured that other Clarke (the one with an e) will make an appearance in the controversy.
Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke is extremely controversial. He's an embarrassment to the people of Wisconsin. Clarke will likely say something about the controversy. He spends more time on television than at his office in the county building. The sheriff has made enemies within the county and they watching him for possible misconduct in his sheriff's department.
Minneapolis Police investigating death of unarmed man while in custody.
Back in the summer, the conservative agitators were pissed that members of the #BlackLivesMatter movement chanted "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" at the Minnesota State Fair.
Many in law enforcement (i.e. Republican-elected lawmen) were saying that the rhetoric from Black Lives Matter inspires cop killings.
Black Lives Matter dismisses the criticism. The activists want the police reform. They want those in law enforcement held accountable for reckless calls. They say that the junk food media is trying to paint the group as domestic terrorist and the like.
If it wasn't for DeRay McKesson, Shaun White, and Bree Newsome, you wouldn't hear about the story of Jamar Clark.
Jamar was gunned down by the Minneapolis Police. According to the witnesses, he was shot by the law while being handcuffed.
The family quickly wen to social media to announce the death of Jamar. It got picked up by #BlackLivesMatter and now it's getting national attention.
The death of Jamar has the law doing an investigation to why deadly force was used in the encounter.
Jamar was suspected in an assault, and was interfering with emergency workers trying to provide aid to a victim. He was shot during a physical struggle, police said.
But witnesses say Jamar was not resisting arrest and was laying on the ground when he was shot, according to the NAACP.
The state takes over the investigation. The issue is still ongoing. The law hasn't released the names of the officers who were involved in the encounter.
Minneapolis Police dispute the witness encounter of Jamar being shot while being detained.
There is video footage of the encounter but it's being held back pending an investigation if the lawmen made a reckless call.
Now protesters are demanding to view the video. They want the names of the officers who were placed in the freezer pending a grand jury decision.
Anger and distrust fueled a rally called by Black Lives Matter Minneapolis that began at 3 p.m. at the shooting scene and continued into the evening a few blocks away outside the police department’s Fourth Precinct headquarters.
The protest began with about 250 people ringing the block where Clark was shot, to create a “no-cops zone.”
Rally speakers held firm to the view that Clark was handcuffed when shot and voiced doubt that a BCA probe could be impartial.
“I want to acknowledge that this is a very difficult situation for everyone involved: For members of our community, members of the Minneapolis Police Department and their families, and for the people that are standing here beside me,” Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau said. “We need to know exactly what happened. We need to know the truth. Everyone involved needs that and deserves that.”
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Jamar Clark.
Bigot rips out the Q'uran in front of Wright State University students.
It was confirmed that the 2016 Presidential Debate will be held in Dayton, Ohio at Wright State University. The Republican and Democratic nominee will be here to debate the issues.
Wright State University is celebrating this event. It becomes a first for the university to host the first national debate. It will be televised on major networks and it will help Wright State get national exposure.
Ohio hasn't hosted a debate since 1980.
All this good news was disrupted by a bigot who came to cause some trouble. This man who wanted some local junk food media attention went to Wright State University to protest Islam. When he came to the campus, he brought him a Q'uran, the Islamic holy book. The local news agitators and national media are covering this controversy.
He would tear this holy book in front of the students causing a disruption.
The law couldn't do anything to stop him. He was within his right to be a bigot. But the damage is done.
WDTN reports that the man who wasn't a student came to cause trouble.
The video shows a man who is not enrolled at the university tearing up the Q'uran. As he screamed, “This is evil”, a growing crowd yelled back, “God is Love”. A Wright State spokesperson says the man is a student who travels to campuses across the country to demonstrate.
Serving a helping of Uncle Ben's with a side of turkey. The candidates are following the Trump formula of being ignorant (i.e. politically correct).
Dr. Ben Carson went to GOP Sundays to talk about his poor debate performance. He was on Chuck Todd's show.
Carson was asked about the Donald Trump supporter who questioned President Barack Obama's faith. The moron said that Islam is antithetical to the U.S. Constitution, and he doesn't believe that a Muslim should be elected president.
Carson, the only Black candidate running for the clown car was a former neurosurgeon. I thought he was a smart person. Alas, he's definitely not a smart person. He's a stupid bigot.
"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation," Carson said. "I absolutely would not agree with that."
Carson's moronic comments led to a swift condemnation from the Council on American-Islamic Relations and other civil rights groups. Many on the left and rational believe the Republicans are extremely stupid.
Tell you the truth, a half of the primary Republican voters can't stomach them all. Only a 28% of primary supporters are in favor of Trump. After the debate, Trump took a slide and Carly took a rise.
Carly Fiorina is another idiot running. After her debate performance, as expected, her polls went up.
The poll shows that Fiorina is in second place or tied with Carson.
The reason why Carson caught so much flack, was the junk food media's coverage of the Trump campaign. This ignorant concern troll caused such an uproar by saying that the president "hates America" and is a Muslim. He said that he would love Trump to "eradicate" Muslims. It became a story. Trump didn't stop the concern troll from making an ass of himself.
Trump was on George Stephanopoulos's show and he didn't hold back. He actually somewhat defended the concern troll. The concern troll's name wasn't released to the public.
All the Republicans were asked about the negative comments from the concern troll. They deflected and distracted.
Black scholars answer the racist right's attack on Black protesters.
The ongoing war against Black protesting. That network featured police officer, Black clergy, Black counter activists, Black and Hispanic agitators slamming the Black Lives Matter movement.
Now some in the support of Black Lives Matter fire back at the mounting criticism.
Marc Lamont Hill, professor and politicial agitator once was on that network. He was often the token liberal voice to a bombastic audience of conservatives. Now that he's ended ties with that network, he's going all out against their attempts to tie Black Lives Matter to the recent police shootings in America.
Hill with liberal extremist Dr. Cornel West were on CNN's Reliable Sources with Brian Stellzer
Everyone now heard the "pigs in blanket, fry 'em like bacon" remark. That's the endless loop of agitation from the Minnesota State Fair that the racist right seethed on.
Many activist in the movement denounced the chant and told that some members were tied to the New Black Panthers, a Black extremist group that seems to infiltrate movements to push its anti-White agenda.
Nonetheless, the comments stick and White folks are now fearing the movement as anti-White and anti-police.
West went first into it. West admitted there’s been some “hyperbolic rhetoric,” but said that happens whenever there is “black rage expressed based on black suffering,” and insisted there is no concrete evidence connecting #BlackLivesMatter to police deaths.
Hill didn't spare no one. He said that that network is being hypocritical for saying a few “outliers” represent the whole movement, but saying that wasn’t true of the tea party.
Hill said that it’s important to talk about the horrible deaths of police officers, but said when this “hate group” rhetoric gets ramped up, people in the movement are put in a defensive position and not able to address their issues.
And “particular media outlets,’ he continued (which includes Fox), are in this game to “troll the world” to say the suffering #BlackLivesMatter protesters are speaking out about is unimportant.
The conservative Craigslist is the right's click bait. They often use this website as to promote their views on social media and through the junk food media.
But what stories attract them the most?
It's those lovely stories about Black criminal acts.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, Gawker, Media Matters for America and The Daily Banter have all noted that this website is a gateway drug for White extremists. This website has seen a rise in traffic recently. The website links often local stories about criminal behavior on the bylines.
Most readers automatically assume it's Black criminals because it's linked and it's in an urban area.
The website is doing the best PR for recruiting the next White terrorist.
You look at the comments from the concern trolls. I bet you money that Barack Obama's name is mentioned. Then you read down the comment section and see racially insensitive word vomit.
White extremists find common ground with the news aggregator. According to them, he's doing the work that the rest of the media won't!
Word vomit would require some form of "If I had my....."
A) Firearm
B) Camera
C) Vote
D) All Of The Above
A local story about a riot inside a Walmart obviously has attracted a bit of national attention. A group of Black teens ransack a Macon Walmart and totally trashed the place. It was caught on surveillance camera.
The Bibb County Sheriff and Macon Police are rounding them up and putting them in time out.
One of the teens was outed by his parents. He lost his phone and he thought he could come back to retrieve it under the guise of being an innocent shopper caught up in the riot. Now he's been forced to snitch on the rest of them in order to stay out of the iron college.
The damages done cost a four figure sum. Obviously, the ones involved are banned from all Walmart stores in the United States.
Sheriff's officials said one of the teens later told a Walmart employee the goal was to see how much damage they could cause.
Sheriff's officials say floors were coated with broken merchandise. These young teens ran up the aisle knocking over stuff. Call the law, we got a riot inside Walmart.
Shoot to kill.
You notice that last month two White women fought inside a suburban Indianapolis Walmart. One of the woman's child was fighting in the video.
The person whipped out the camera and filmed. It went viral and the women weren't charge for fighting. The security wasn't dispatched.
A group of men were stopped by a Florida sheriff's deputy in a Walmart. She ordered them to leave after they spent too much time eye shopping and not buying. They got verbal with her and she put the cuffs on one of them. The film the altercation and it went viral.
John Crawford III paid the price for legally have a right to carry an open pellet gun in Walmart. He picked up the pellet gun while on the phone. He got shot twice in the chest while he was on the phone. He was shoot by Beavercreek, Ohio police. They didn't get charged for murder.
The People Of Walmart is a website that devotes its time to covering the most outrageous things that happen in the world's largest retailer.
And for all the good that Walmart does for the community, these things hurt its image and the individuals involved.
What's sad is that according to someone (who heard from someone) the Black teens were bored and they wanted to a flash mob.
A young woman was upset over a flight attendant's bigoted response to her request for a soft drink.
Tahera Ahmad was traveling from Chicago to Washington, DC, last week. She asked the attendant for a can of Coca-Cola. The attendant opened her can instead of serving her a closed can. The attendant told her that she could have used it "as a weapon".
Ahmad witness the same attendant serve a person an unopened can of soda.
Ahmad, a chaplain at Northwestern University, told the junk food media that she requested a closed can of soda for "hygienic reasons". The attendant told her that it's against policy to have an unopened can.
Tahera Ahmad.
Well United Airlines and the subsidiary Shuttle America call the attendant's respond to Ahmad bullshit.
They got wind of this and publicly apologized to Ahmad.
"While United did not operate the flight, Ms. Ahmad was our customer and we apologize to her for what occured on the flight. After investigating this matter, United has ensured that the flight attendant, a Shuttle America employee, will no longer serve United customers," in a presser.
Added, "United does not tolerate behavior that is discriminatory - or that appears to be discriminatory against our customers or employees".
The flight attendant was loaded into the cannon and fired out. The attendant was also banned from traveling on United Airlines.
The agitators of the junk food media have spooked the bigots. The bigots could be your neighbors.
The bigots could be your family members, your co-workers, a person in the service industry or a person in the media.
I admit that everyone has a form of bigotry towards someone. But it's unfortunate that in this age of Obama, it's gotten worse.
Americans who are practicing Muslims are often subjected to suspicion. Many of the partisan agitators in the media have been parroting "radical Islam" and the Islamic State. Some of this crap is sponged into the minds of the irrational.
They fail to realize that they legitimize the Islamic State's claims that the United States is declaring war on Muslims. They don't see they're the extremists.
For you see, I don't fear no man, no animal or act of nature. I fear failure and rejection more than things that I can control.
If you're a business and your goals are to serve customers for the $$$$. You'll have it pretty rough to keep a business running if you believe it's right to not serve Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, Jews, gays and the poor.
Usaamah Rahim was allegedly plotting a terrorist plot on Pam Geller.
The feds are looking into a plot to assassinate controversial Islamaphobe Pam Geller.
A man from Boston who may have been inspired by the Islamic State was served a sandwich full of lead after he tried to lunge at the feds with a large knife.
The FBI and Homeland Security are on the watch for extremism. Those inspired by groups like the Islamic State are often runaways who leave the United States to join the foreign extremists in Syria.
The suspect Usaamah Rahim was being sought after he told people he wanted to behead police officers and put a bullet in the head of Geller.
Geller sponsored a "Draw Mohammad" contest in order to denounce Muslims. That became a rally cry for extremists to target her and others in the junk food media.
The second suspect David Wright is facing a federal judge for allegedly trying to erase any evidence of Rahim's terrorist plot.
An FBI agent's affidavit was released by the U.S. Attorney's Office tells that story of Rahim and Wright along with another man plotting a terrorist plot against Geller.
They met in Rhode Island on a beach with an informant.
David Right and Usassmah Rahim were plotting a mass murder.
Rahim obtained knives online and the FBI intercepted the package before it made it to him.
Rahim was about to be brought in for questioning. The Boston police and feds were closing in on him. He took out a couple of sharp ones and tired to slice and dice. The feds let him have it. Wright who dubbed himself Dawud Sharif Abdul Khaliq told Rahim to wipe the evidence from the computer clean and talk in code.
They were planning a "vacation". Or perhaps a "jihad" or "wipe out".
Rahim's brother a cleric at a local mosque told the junk food media that these accusations were unbelievable. Some in civil and clergy leaders as well as the Black community dispute the claims.
He took to social media to condemn the actions of the cops and prayers to his brother.
Pray4 my younger brother Usaama Rahim shot 3 X in his back by Boston Police then dying His last words I can't breathe pic.twitter.com/XcZWeiigtg
Officials have shown video coverage to the family. They dispute the charges.
The junk food media learned that the 26-year-old worked as a security guard at the Islamic Society of Boston back in 2013. He also worked at Best Buy briefly and most recently was employed by CVS as a loss prevention officer.
Pam Geller is beefing up her security.
Abdurrashid said he was "smiling, always smiling always happy. Always had a smile on his face. Always willing to help. Just an overall good American kid."
Rahim was living with his wife and two brothers at his mother's apartment. Those close to him say that his mother was a nurse and that he had a wonderful family.
His body was returned to his family as of Wednesday as the Medical Examiner expedited the autopsy. Friends of the family say they are working to organize services this week.
Pam Geller and the racist right have been on this "radical Islam" fixation.
You heard of concern trolling right?
Well this woman (a former beauty model) is a crazy individual. She dares the media to silence her.
She wanted to make a point by making offensive drawings of the Prophet Mohammad knowing that it's considered blasphemy to draw the prophet in any form.
She now has to watch her back 24/7. Her life is in danger. The U.S. Justice Department and local law enforcement knows that she is a target. Even though they can't stand her actions, they will do their best to make sure she has a right to be a bigot.
