The Straight Outta Compton movie is the most anticipated movie this summer. And the law fears that it could spark violence. The N.W.A. was founded by Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy E, DJ Yella, MC Ren and the Arabian Prince. The movie is directed by F.F. Gary and Ice Cube.
The album Straight Outta Compton is being re-released today to comply with the movie.
The movie inspired the good doctor to release a "surprise album" this month. Dr. Dre's album Compton, sold over 565,000 albums. It is the "final" album from the media mogul. Dre signed on as a chairperson for APPLE Music, Inc. He relinquished his role in the Beats Audio to join the computer giant for creative and musical releases.
The large cities are anticipating a possible mass shooting event to occur after the film ends.
So they beef up patrol and it's grabbing Ice Cube and Dr. Dre's attention.
It follows N.W.A, which included rappers Dr Dre and the late Eazy-E, as they rose to fame in the late 1980s with lyrics drawing from the violence, crime and anti-police sentiments that the rappers themselves had experienced growing up in Compton.
The movie premiere to the one year anniversary of the Michael Brown shooting.
Reuters reports that Brown's death was one in a series of police killings of unarmed black men and women across the U.S. that has renewed the debate on race and justice.
Against that backdrop, and with security at movie theaters in focus after a gunman killed two women in a Louisiana screening of "Trainwreck" in July, private security and police presence was increased at a number of venues.
"(In this movie) police don't come out in a good light and there is a feeling in the country that is anti-police and anti-establishment, and crowds are affected by movies," Tom DeLuca, president of National Cinema Security, the largest provider of security to U.S. movie theaters, told Reuters.
At a screening in South Gate, a neighboring city of Compton, an employee checking attendees' bags on entry said the theater hired extra security for the film's opening. One guard was stationed outside of the film's screening room.
N.W.A. founding member Ice Cube, one of the film's producers, praised the efforts of the studio and theaters.
"I am glad that Universal stepped up and it's all about making people feel safe," the rapper told Reuters.
Comcast Corp-owned Universal Pictures said it would work with theater owners on any security issues.
"The studio has not solicited enhanced security for theaters who will begin showing it this weekend, but have partnered with those exhibitors who've requested support for their location," Universal said in a statement.
Compton native Eddie Cruz told Reuters at a screening in nearby Downey he hoped the film shed a light on his community.
"The majority of the United States don't really understand what's going on in these cities like Compton or Oakland," he said. "They need to understand what's happening and I think having it shown in movies really helps that progress forward."
Attendees at the first screenings on Thursday in locations neighboring Compton said they were not concerned about possible violence.
"I'm here with my kids. I feel secure," said Leo Olea at the Downey screening. "It's just a movie after all."
Fellow movie-goer Vince Montano added: "I'm pretty sure people are smarter than that now so I don't think there'd be any violence."
The film is projected to top the U.S. box office this weekend with upwards of $40 million, said Rentrak senior analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
"People who are excited to see any movie this weekend are not going to be deterred by any thought of violence at theaters," he said.
The movie based off the Compton rap group N.W.A. is coming to theaters this summer. It's based off the lives of Dr. Dre, MC Ren, Arabian Prince, Eazy E, Ice Cube and DJ Yella.
The group released a two studio albums and a handful of extended plays.
The movie titled Straight Outta Compton. It's based off the debut album of the rap group. It was a breakthrough rap album. It introduced the world to gangsta rap.
Straight Outta Compton is the debut studio album by American hip hop group N.W.A, released August 8, 1988 on group member Eazy-E's record label Ruthless Records.
Production for the album was handled by Dr. Dre, with DJ Yella giving co-production. The album has been viewed as the pioneering record of gangsta rap with its ever-present profanity and violent lyrics. It has been considered groundbreaking by music writers and has had an enormous impact on the evolution of West Coast hip hop.
Straight Outta Compton redefined the direction of hip-hop, which resulted in lyrics concerning the gangster lifestyle becoming the driving force in sales figures.
It was later re-released on September 24, 2002, remastered and containing four bonus tracks. An extended version of the album was released on December 4, 2007, honoring the 20th anniversary of the original album.
Universal Music Group reissued the album on a Limited Edition red cassette as part of their Respect The Classics series.
The cassette was released in time for the annual Record Store Day.
Dr. Dre, Game and Ice Cube appear on the Straight Outta Compton set.
The group began their rise in the 1980s and eventually broke up around 1994.
Eazy E, the group's de facto leader would die of complications from AIDS. Ice Cube would later act in movies, produce his own movies and become a media mogul. Dr. Dre would find Detroit rapper Eminem and sign him to his Aftermath label. Dre would also launched Beats Audio.
Media mogul Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, the world's richest and most powerful player in hip-hop teamed up with F. Gary Gary to make this movie. Cube asked Snoop Dogg, MC Ren and DJ Yella to join him in making this movie.
Who will be in this movie. Some name you may recognize. One being the son of Cube.
O'Shea Jackson, Jr. will play the role of his father.
Others roles are being played by some well known actors.
Jason Mitchell as Eazy-E
Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre
Aldis Hodge as MC Ren
Neil Brown, Jr. as DJ Yella
Brandon LaFourche as Arabian Prince
Marlon Yates Jr. as The D.O.C.
Paul Giamatti as Jerry Heller
Keith Stanfield as Snoop Dogg
R. Marcus Taylor as Suge Knight
Marcc Rose as Tupac Shakur
The movie is based off the rap groups bond. Their interaction with shady business executive Jerry Heller. Eazy E's rift with Ice Cube and Dr. Dre which lead to the group's demise. Ice Cube would later act in movies, produce his own movies and become a media mogul.
Cube had roles in Boyz in The Hood, Higher Learning, 21 Jump Street, Are We There Yet?, Friday and Barbershop.
Dr. Dre and Big Suge starting up Death Row and signing Snoop Dogg to the label. Dr. Dre would have a fallout with the label.
Dre would sign a young White rapper from Detroit to his struggling label. The signing of Eminem helped propel Dre's Aftermath Entertainment into the mainstream. Dre would also launched Beats Audio equipment and is co-chair of Apple Music.
The rise of Tupac Shakur is being mentioned in this movie. Shakur was not a famous until he started the war of the coasts.
The rapper's fate was met in September 1996. There will a movie about Shakur's life in the coming year.
The movie is controversial. Universal Pictures is producing the movie along with Cubevision, Ice Cube's movie production company.
Of course, this movie was being filmed in South Los Angeles and Compton. The movie was finishing up production when Big Suge decided to crash the set.
Suge's was told to bounce and of course, he got to threatening the security. He would throw his hands up, get into his truck and peel out. When he peeled out he hit a man, killing him.
Now Big Suge's days of freedom could be over. He is being charged with murder. Not involuntary manslaughter. The charge was bumped up after witness told that Big Suge didn't give a fuck who he hit.
Now Suge Knight is innocent until proven guilty. If he is found guilty in this trial coming next year, he will be making toys and clothes from the iron college for LIFE.
Are you going to see the movie?
I might!
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is running in the clown car. He's a huge fan of hip-hop music. He said that he will see the movie. No word from President Barack Obama.
Matter of fact, the president already got early viewing in the White House screening room. That's the perks of being the president.
Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino's death by the law sparks controversy.
A federal judge ordered a dump of police recordings in the wake of a shooting. The law put slugs in an unarmed man. This video dump has also gotten the attention of the U.S. Justice Department. Once again, men of color are often targeted for assassination by the law.
The order came after several media outlets, including the Los Angeles Times and The Associated Press, requested access to the footage because of the recent rash of police shootings across the country.
The city of Gardena is trying to hold evidence in wake of a 35-year old man being shot by the law.
The victim, 35-year-old Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino and his two friends, were mistaken by the law. The law accused them of stealing a bicycle.
In the footage, two of the men obeyed police commands to raise their hands above their heads. However, the third man, identified as Diaz-Zeferino, was reportedly drunk and possibly confused by the officers' commands. Witnesses said Diaz-Zeferino was trying to tell officers that they were stopping the wrong men, Daily Herald reported.
The cameras recorded Diaz-Zeferino lowering and raising his hands several times before removing a baseball hat from his head and swinging his hands down to his waist. The action prompted the officers to discharge their weapons several times, striking Diaz-Zeferino eight times and his friend, Eutiquio Acevedo Mendez, once.
Paramedics reportedly took almost 10 minutes to respond to the shooting. Mendez survived his injuries, but Diaz-Zeferino was pronounced dead at the scene.
The police were investigating the theft of a bicycle belonging to Diaz-Zeferino's brother at the time of the shooting, according to The Associated Press. Diaz-Zeferino and his two friends were reportedly looking for the bike when the officers approached them.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office declined to file charges against the officers in the aftermath of the shootings.
"They made a split-second decision and they were not required to hold fire in order to ascertain whether [Diaz-Zeferino] would, in fact, injure or kill them," Deputy District Attorney Rosa Alarcon wrote in a memo, reported The Los Angeles Times.
However, the two victims' families sued the city of Gardena and ultimately settled the case for $4.7 million. The videos and other evidence in the case remained under seal until Tuesday, when Judge Stephen V. Wilson ruled in favor of the media's request to release the videos.
"We applaud the court's decision to unseal the video," said AP spokesman Paul Colford said. "The Associated Press, joining with other news organizations, believes it's important that the public has access to videos like this to better understand the actions of their police officers."
After the judge's ruling, Gardena Police Chief Ed Medrano issued a statement calling the shooting a tragedy "for all involved." His office had opposed releasing the videos.
"We have thoroughly reviewed our response and have initiated new training, including the tactical use of cover techniques to slow down fast-moving events," Medrano said.
Yet while the civil suit is settled and the videos have been released, the case could be far from closed. Samuel Paz, an attorney for Diaz-Zeferino's family, said he may ask federal prosecutors to investigate whether the shooting constitutes a civil rights violation.
"I think it is really helpful for the public to understand why they would be willing to pay $4.7 million to settle the case when we were on the eve of trial," Paz said. "When the public sees the video and other law enforcement agencies see the video, this is very much a criminal act."
Again, I don't look at those in law enforcement as an enemy. There's good cops. Those who do their jobs as public servants who protect the citizens. Then of course the bad cops. Those who do their jobs as public servants who believe that enforcement of the citizens is the practical way.
The practical way is racial profiling, unauthorized search and seizures of properties, lying on police statements and committing criminal acts under the badge.
You've seen it happen too many times. Too many innocent victims of gun violence. Yes, there were a high number of murders in Chicago, Baltimore and Detroit. Yeah, the nation got to hear about a 7-year old Amari Brown who was gunned down during the holiday weekend. The father a known gang member wouldn't renounce his membership. Yeah, the police and local leaders are trying to stop illegal firearms on the street. But unfortunately, Republicans in the Congress are fucking stupid.
And the concern trolls will always find some tangent against Blacks and Latinos. For every unarmed suspect being brutally killed by police, the concern troll will point to Chicago or Baltimore for their daily "But what about......"!
The concern trolls cry that Black America isn't focused on crimes committed by other Blacks. They believe that gun control is necessary when it comes to Blacks, Hispanics and practicing Muslims.
They would get upset if a Black or Hispanic father kills a White teen. They would get upset if Muslim was protecting himself with a firearm. They would consider them thugs or terrorist.
Concern trolls only support gun rights for White people. Any mentions of gun control will lead to the notion that it will never stop the violence. They complain that President Barack Obama's policies doomed Black America.
But they can't tell you that for most of our "freedom", Blacks have been marginally discriminated in housing, finances, schools, jobs and political capital.
Republicans claim that they've freed the slaves. Now they want us to pay them by taking our guns, the safety net, our right to vote, and our right to voice dissent towards unethical practices done by law enforcement.
World News Today send our condolences to the families of Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino and Amari Brown.
Devorise Dixon was sharing on the social media his experience at a KFC restaurant in California.
What he shared on the social media was a piece of food that kind of looked like a rat. A deep fired rat which got the Yum! Brands' attention. They were really pissed that a restaurant would dare put a rat in their products. There was gonna be a cannon firing. Matter of fact, there were going to be cuffs on the perpetrator who done it.
Dixon and his lawyer brought their lawsuit to the KFC.
KFC had an independent DNA test of the questionable product. When the results came out, it determined that the piece in question was chicken.
KFC released a statement:
California man claims that KFC sacked him a rat in a meal.
"Recently, a customer questioned the quality of a KFC product, and this received considerable publicity given the sensational nature of his claim. On Friday, the customer's attorney turned over the product in question for testing at an independent lab, and the results officially confirmed what KFC knew all along --- the product was chicken and not a rat as the customer claimed".
Dixon wrote on Facebook.
"I went to KFC and [brought] a 3 [piece] chicken tender! As I bit into a piece of it [I] noticed it was very hard/touch and rubbery! Which sent this deep chill down my body! I looked down at it and saw it was a cooked rat! Made me feel sick!"
Dixon claimed that he returned to the KFC in question and said that the manager confirmed that the tender was a rat. The KFC manager apologized.
KFC said not so fast. The branch in question had told the junk food media that they haven't talked to Dixon.
KFC may ban Dixon from their stores if he doesn't owe up and apologize.
KFC stands by it's products and they take all controversies seriously. Last year, the fast food chain faced harsh criticism from the social media after a family claimed that their child was kicked out because of her injuries from a dog. The family would recant their story after KFC shelved out $200,000 to aid in her medical bills.
Sean "Puffy" Combs got into a fight with a UCLA coach after he taunts his son Justin. His son, Justin attends the college.
Sean "Puffy" Combs aka Diddy has spent the night in Los Angeles County Lockup after he got into a smack down with a coach at UCLA.
The famed media mogul who founded Bad Boy Records, Revolt and Sean John Clothing company is going to face a judge in the coming days.
His son Justin plays for the UCLA football team and I guess Diddy didn't appreciate the coach's treatment of his son.
A representative for Combs' company said the media mogul was defending himself in the fight.
"The various accounts of the event and charges that are being reported are wholly inaccurate," Nathalie Moar, a rep for Combs Enterprises, said in a statement to The Associated Press. "What we can say now is that any actions taken by Mr. Combs were solely defensive in nature to protect himself and his son."
Diddy Rock.
Jail records showed that Combs was released after posting bail. The records showed that Combs' bail was $160,000, but sheriff's officials reached by phone said he posted $50,000. The reason for the discrepancy wasn't clear.
According to TMZ, which first reported the arrest, UCLA strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi was screaming at Justin as Combs watched from the sidelines. Combs allegedly confronted the coach in his office and was then arrested for assault.
UCLA Football coach Jim Mora later issued a statement saying, "I'm thankful that our staff showed the level of professionalism that they did in handling this situation. This is an unfortunate incident for all parties involved. While UCPD continues to review this matter, we will let the legal process run its course and refrain from further comment at this time."
Alosi gained a measure of infamy in football circles while a strength and conditioning coach for the New York Jets. During a December 2010 game against the Miami Dolphins, Alosi was caught tripping Nolan Carroll as the player ran down the field covering a punt. Alosi was suspended and fined as a result of the incident and resigned the following month. He has been the strength and conditioning coach at UCLA since 2012.
Don't make Diddy mad. He might lay you out!
Justin Combs is a redshirt junior defensive back on the UCLA football team, which has been working out on campus. He has played in just a handful of games in his three years with the team.
The son of another major rap star also plays football for the Bruins. Snoop Dogg's son Cordell Broadus is a wide receiver who signed with the team this year.
The arrest is the latest in a series of allegations against Combs. He was acquitted of bribery and weapons-related charges in connection with a 1999 shooting at a New York nightclub. A jury cleared Combs of firing a weapon during the dispute that wounded three bystanders, as well as bribing his chauffeur to take the rap.
Combs was arrested in 1999 for his involvement in the beating of former Interscope executive Steve Stoute in New York. Combs apologized, the charges were reduced, and he was ordered to attend an anger management class.
Combs is the father of six. He resides in New Jersey.
Bad Boy Records and Revolt are subsidiaries of Interscope and Universal Music Group.
The label features include Diddy, Machine Gun Kelly (aka MGK), French Montana and Cassie.
Famed Star Trek actress who played Lt. Nyota Uhura suffered a mild stroke according to her publicist.
Nichelle Nichols (born Grace Dell Nichols) is an American actress, singer and voice artist. She sang with Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton before turning to acting. Her most famous role is that of communications officer Lieutenant Uhura aboard the USS Enterprise in the popular Star Trek television series (1966–1969), as well as the succeeding motion pictures, where her character was eventually promoted in Starfleet to the rank of commander. Multiple novel series have stated that she rose to at least Captain.
Nichols' Star Trek character, one of the first African American female characters on American television not portrayed as a servant, was groundbreaking in U.S society at the time. Civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. personally praised her work on the show and asked her to remain when she was considering leaving the series.

Posted by Nichelle Nichols on Thursday, June 4, 2015
The 82-year old actress is undergoing testing after suffering the stroke at her home in Los Angeles.
This happened a few months since breakout star Leonard Nimoy passed away.
George Takei went to the social media to send his regards to his friend and remind his followers to wish her well.
We understand #NichelleNichols has been rushed to the hospital. We don't have any diagnosis on her condition but our thoughts are with her.
Caitlyn Jenner shows the world that she's not afraid of who she is.
The former athlete and reality television star has finally told the world know who she truly is.
Introducing Caitlyn Jenner, the former Bruce Jenner. Jenner broke ABC News records by telling her story about coming out to the Kardashian-Jenner clan as a transgender woman.
Posing in Vanity Fair Magazine, Caitlyn shows off the new look and is happy.
The magazine will certain drive sales.
Jenner 65, went forth through surgery and breast augmentation. Jenner now rocks a huge 36 CC breast size. The reality turd is sporting off every hot looking dress.
No secrets here. I'm free to be me....Caitlyn Jenner.
ABC's Diane Sawyer managed to bring 17.9 million viewers to Friday night. When Jenner told the world that she was happy her family was willing to accept this change.
The patriarch of the Kardashians and Jenners loves his family.
After years of speculation, the world finally can meet the true beauty of Ms. Jenner.
The controversial reality family has been in the news lately. Underage reality turd Kylie Jenner is dating older and yet moronic rapper Tyga and he is planning on knocking her up once she turns 18.
Khloe Kardashian is dating Somali born rapper French Montana. The founder of Coke Boys Music is mourning the loss of his friend Chinx who was gunned down a few weeks back. Khloe and French Montana have denied being a couple but they've been awful cozy about their friendship.
Kim Kardashian-West is expecting another reality star in her huge family. She and husband rapper/producer/celebrity agitator Kanye West announced they're on the second round of parenting.
Again reality television sucks. I have to admit that Kim K and her family are the reasons to why reality television is fucked up.
San Bernardino Sheriff's office has to clean house. The cameras caught 10 deputies putting a beat down on a suspect who was already on the ground with his hands up.
Again, the cameras were rolling when an unarmed suspect on a horse was getting a beat down by the San Bernardino Sheriff deputies. Now 10 members are on leave and are facing an investigation.
The U.S. Justice Department and FBI are looking into how these officers conducted themselves when suspect, Francis Jared Pusok was apprehended by the deputies.
The search warrant was being issued for a resident in the Apple Valley. Pusok was wanted for some minor felonies and misdemeanors. He tried to shake the law by stealing a person's horse.
For about 45 minutes, Pusok was chased through the desert highlands. At the end of the chase, Pusok gets off the horse and surrenders. Pusok was on the ground with his hands over his head. The deputies approach him and give him a serious beat down. The beat down lasted for more than two minutes.
Francis Pusok's booking photo. Disturbing.
He took 30 to the head, 10 to the abdomen, and 10 to the legs. The officers used not only a Taser, but their fists, their feet and a baton.
They would have gotten away with this if it wasn't for them pesky cameras.
It wasn't a bystander or the suspect with the camera. It was NBC 4 from Los Angeles. They witness this incident on camera. The helicopter pilot and reporter witness a 10 to 1 beat down. Guess who lost that one?
The suspect did suffer some injuries that required a medical visit. But after release he was sent to lock up for the fleeing and eluding charge.
But he has hired an attorney and is planning on suing the police for excessive force. Sheriff John McMahon is doing damage control after viewing the video.
He calls the incident "troubling" and calls for an internal investigation into this matter.
Pusok was unarmed. He didn't attack the officers with any weapon (i.e. firearm, knife, bodily fluids, animal or explosive device).
The junk food media has been on a roll with the debate over police officers using deadly force against unarmed suspects.
If the shootings of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown don't seem to matter, how about this one?
What image will the junk food media use when they're smearing an unarmed victim?
The law can lie when justifying a pull over, a citation, an arrest, use of a Taser, use of restraint or use of deadly force. The cops can tell their superiors in a written or on camera statement how the suspect provoked the use of force. The law can splice video and release it to the public. The junk food media will make any unarmed suspect or unintended victim look like the bad guy regardless. The political agitators and arm chair keyboard warriors go back in forth on debating. The cop who used deadly force on a suspect is given the benefit of doubt by the junk food media and supporters of law enforcement. A dead body (especially a Black man) is valued only as a criminal based on what the public sees on social media or open record searches.
Although Francis will owe up for the criminal acts, he didn't deserve this type of abuse by the law.
We here at Journal de la Reyna wish Francis Pusok a speedy recovery.
Actress Taraji P Henson had to own up to the Glendale Police after she accused them of rousing her son.
Taraji P Henson is on fire. Her breakout role as Cookie Lyon in the hit series Empire has made her a household name.
Henson's rise to fame came from the her feature role in Hustle & Flow, with fellow actor Terrance Howard. They both are the stars of the Lee Daniels' musical drama.
Henson is also a mother. Her son is always a top priority. Henson praises her son regardless.
But something came into the news this past week and it's sparked some major controversy.
Henson claimed that her 20 year old son (Marcel Johnson) had been racially profiled by police and that his car had been illegally searched during a traffic stop on October 18, 2014 in Glendale, California.
In the beginning, Henson felt the law was harassing her son for being Black. Her son dropped out of the University of Southern California to attend Howard in her hometown of Washington, DC.
Henson told the junk food media, that who could you trust in this world, if a young Black man minding his business is harassed by the police.
Well the folks over at the Los Angeles Times wanted to obtain proof of this incident. They got some proof and then some.
A video obtained by the Times showed that Johnson had driven through a lighted crosswalk while a pedestrian was crossing, that he had given verbal consent to search his vehicle, that he had admitted to smoking marijuana two hours before going behind the wheel, and that hash oil, marijuana, and a knife were found inside his car.
Henson immediately suspended her social media profiles. She went on to apologize for overreacting and for making unsubstantiated claims, Henson said in an Instagram message that, "A mother's job is not easy and neither is a police officer's. I would like to publicly apologize to the officer and the Glendale Police Department."
Henson's apology was heartfelt. But unfortunately to the racist right, they will continue to denounce the BlackLivesMatter movement. They will now attack her for sparking "racial outrage" over nothing.
The racist right will place her in the box where they often hold President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, Rev. Perm and Cut His Nut Off Jackson in.
Out of the woodwork comes the controversial racial agitator who wrote White Girl Bleeds Alot. He's promoting another book detailing his ongoing obsession with racial based criminal acts committed by Black people.
The conservative agitators are promoting this asshat Colin Flaherty's new book Don't Make The Black Teens Angry and How We Enable It. This is another book he's devoted to making conspiracy theories about racial violence being on the rise. He complains that the junk food media isn't covering Black on White criminal acts.
The racist right is obsessed with these stories. They find some pitiful outrage over a local criminal act on White people. It's nothing new. They complain constantly about how Black America's grievances are overblown by President Barack Obama, Rev. Perm and others.
Who cares?
Crime is crime.
It's not a Black or White thing. It's a legal and illegal thing.
If you want to support this asshat visit his YouTube website and stomach his videos.
The LA Times report that a man tried to duck the law by spraying on paint to disguise himself as Black man. Jose Espinoza must have figured out that he's a wanted man. He was on the radar for theft and warrants.
Extremist Colin Flaherty.
He was spotted by the law in a stolen ride. So instead of making it a year in the iron college, he goes for five to ten. He pulls an elude trick and tries to duck the law.
After he exits his ride, he runs.
I guess in his possession was a can of spray paint. Espinoza sprays himself Black and jumps into someone's apartment.
The tips lead to an apartment. So the Madera County Police search the apartment and notice a Black male in a suspicious way. They wanted to find out who he was. I guess the paint ran down this fool's face because after a few minutes of confrontation, he confessed to who he was.
Okay, no guns were pulled. No body was injured. Cops got their suspect. A Hispanic man who tried his best to duck the law by being a Black man.
He's in lock up awaiting trial. He's also going to face the judge on a charge of snatching up a woman's purse.
See the point of this story tell you that this asshat Colin Flaherty and the racist right assures you that one Black criminal represents all of Black America.
If there are non-Black criminals, its ignored because it doesn't fit these racial extremists agenda.
"They just shot that motherfucking man right here....[Yeah], I'm going record this shit", says the person using his camera phone.
"Take a good look it's the Black motherfucking [cop] that killed this man....." said the person filming in the final minutes.
The social media and the price of fame. The filmmaker wanted to post this on the internet. Instead of holding evidence in the case of a trial, he clearly advocated the officer's side of the story. See reactionary brings nothing but trouble. Now this filmmaker will be harassed or subject to death threats.
The negative publicity. The Los Angeles Police Department is just like New York. With the power comes the respect. They are well respected by a majority. But the minority, ahem, hates the LAPD.
The LAPD has a controversial history. There's been many officer involved incidents where suspects of color were injured or killed. The controversial tactics used in an arrest are often mirrored in legal action.
All the mixture of tension brought to you by the folks who post on YouTube.
As reported, an officer has the legal right to lie in order to justify a traffic citation, an arrest, and a shooting.
The suspect is dead and the LAPD is doing damage control.
Today, I just saw this video that is extremely disturbing. The LAPD was apprehending two individuals and I guess after a brief confrontation, one of the many LAPD officers opened fired on the suspect.
According to the LAPD, the suspect was reaching for the arresting officer's gun. There were minor injuries for the two arresting officers. The Los Angeles Times reports that Cmdr. Andrew Smith said officers assigned to the LAPD's Central Division and Safer Cities Initiative — a task force focused on skid row — responded to the location about noon Sunday after receiving a 911 call reporting a possible robbery.
The possible robbery ended with a man being shot and a woman being arrested.
The LAPD doing damage control after a filmmaker records them opening fire on an unarmed suspect.
Did they obtain evidence of the suspect robbing someone of property?
The deceased is apparently homeless
What did the woman do?
The woman seen in the video recording picking up an officer's baton was detained and is expected to be arrested, Smith said. She had not been booked as of 9 p.m. Sunday, and it was unclear what charges she would face, but Smith said the arrest would stem from her picking up the baton.
Smith said that, based on the video recording, it was unclear what the officers told the man before they fired. He said investigators would use audio enhancement software to determine what exactly was said and when.
"Of course we're aware of the video," he said. "Any video that shows someone losing their life in an altercation with police is going to be disturbing. It's disturbing for police officers to watch."
Disturbing!
Hell, the police are pissed that a man filmed the officer killing an unarmed suspect. The person named Anthony Blackburn posted it on the social media. It's graphic so you will have to click on the link posted right below.
If there weren't people so frustrated with the police in the wake of high profile shootings such as the Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, John Crawford and Akai Gurley controversies, you wouldn't see camera phones being used.
And to make this clear, you are allowed to film police. They may try to "justify" an arrest by saying you're impeding on an arresting officer or disorderly conduct. You can lawyer up and tell the judge that you had a right to film public servants while on duty.
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO FILM THE POLICE!
I think some in the LAPD will be humming "mean ol' Mike Brown". There will be some who probably high-five each other when they kill a suspect they accused of threatening the life of an officer.
The LAPD will place the shooting officer on administrative leave. The officer will contact his union boss, an attorney and a therapist. He will say that "that guy reached for his gun!"
LAPD stand in pose trying to keep the peace.
Remember an arresting officer can "stretch" the truth when writing a statement on the situation.
Evidence technicians and other officers will wrap the police tape over areas and other officers may "step" on evidence.
"It's always tragic when there's a loss of life in one of these situations," Smith continued. "It's not an incident taken lightly by any police officer. But we are committed to everyone involved and to the public to conduct a thorough and complete investigation."
Smith said investigators were looking for any other video that captured the incident, including footage from the body cameras some of the officers may have been wearing. Officers assigned to the Safer Cities Initiative were part of the LAPD's pilot program for the new technology and are equipped with the devices.
At least one officer involved in the incident was wearing a body camera, Smith said.
Well let's hope those body cameras were in use when this event happened. Maybe a camera worn by the arresting or assisting officer could provide a better look into how this shooting was justified.
The dramatic confrontation was caught on video, which was later posted on Facebook (the video contains foul language). It shows a group of officers getting into a scuffle with a man standing on a sidewalk littered with tents and other debris.
The man continues to scuffle with four of the officers, even after he's wrestled to the ground. What appears to be one of the officers is heard saying "Drop the gun. Drop the gun."
Then, at least one of the officers opens fire on the man, who remained on the ground with at least two officers near him.
Five gunshots are heard on the recording.
Police have not identified the dead man or said how many officers were involved, or how many shots were fired. The man was declared dead at a hospital shortly after the shooting, which occurred about noon, according to police spokesman Sgt. Barry Montgomery.
He said that at one point during the struggle a Taser had been deployed, but investigators did not know if it was used on the man who was subsequently shot.
Witnesses at the scene identified the victim by his street name, “Africa”, and gave conflicting accounts of what they saw.
Dennis Horne, 29, said Africa had been fighting with someone else in his tent when police arrived.
When Africa refused to comply with a police order to come out of the tent, officers used the Taser on him and dragged him out, Horne said. The officers tackled Africa to the ground, where he continued to fight, which led to the fatal shooting, according to Horne.
“It's sad,” Horne said. “There's no justification to take somebody's life.”
Another witness, Lonnie Franklin, 53, said five to six officers pulled up in three to four cars as Africa was lying face down on the sidewalk. The officers approached with guns drawn yelling, ”Down, down,” according to Franklin.
When Africa got up and started fighting, the officers “went straight to lethal force,” Franklin said.
But Jose Gil, 38 , said he saw the man swinging at the police and then heard one of the officers say, “Gun, gun, he's got my gun!” before police fired multiple shots.
Another witness, who asked not to be identified, said the man punched and kicked the officers and reached for one of their service weapons before the officers fired at least seven times.
An area resident, who identified himself as Booker T. Washington, said police had come by repeatedly to ask Africa to take down his tent. People are allowed to sleep on the streets from 9 p.m to 6 a.m., but they are supposed to remove their tents in the daytime under a court agreement.
“This man got shot over a tent,” Washington said.
Ina Murphy, who lives in an apartment nearby, said Africa had arrived in the area about four or five months ago. He told her he had recently been released after spending 10 years in a mental facility, Murphy said.
Police Commission President Steve Soboroff first saw the video of the shooting via social media. He was watching it again when reached by a Times reporter Sunday evening, trying to hear what exactly the officers had said to the man.
"My heart just started pounding just watching it," Soboroff said. "I feel the adrenaline. These situations are just so horrific."
He stressed that the LAPD, the independent inspector general and the district attorney's office would all investigate the shooting "very, very carefully."
"Of course I would encourage people not to rush to judgment. It's not fair to anybody. It's not fair to the family of the victim or the victim or the officers," he said. "We'll find out what happened."
Montgomery said Sunday evening that investigators were in the process of interviewing "loads of people" who were in the area at the time of the shooting. He said there would potentially be more video recordings of the incident, noting that he could see two surveillance cameras mounted on buildings at the scene.
It was still unclear how many officers fired their weapons or what was said to the man before he was shot, Montgomery said.
The LA Times noted the words rush to judgement.
This is what that annoying conservative agitator does.
Say if this event makes it to the cable news agitators.
Some agitator will find some reason to agitate it. He is the prime agitator of an event that involves race. Most would find it in Rev. Perm, but seriously that annoying conservative agitator is a defender of "white rights". He is often the guy who likes to side with the officer (or vigilante) because Black leaders or President Barack Obama address concerns.
Melissa Harris-Perry, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Tom Joyner, Rev. Perm, that annoying conservative agitator, Crazy-ass Alex Jones, O'Loofus, the Craigslist of conservative agitation, Tavis Smiley and Breitfart are the agitators. They often exploit these controversies for ratings or click bait.
Who are you going to believe the officer or the dead suspect?
"The heavens are crying right now," said General Jeff Page, known around skid row as the "mayor" of the poverty-stricken neighborhood, as rains poured on the crowd gathered around him. He went over the events of the day that led to the fatal shooting of Africa, whom Page called "one of our loved ones."
In the crowd was Yannick Babou, 34, a street vendor who works in skid row. Babou said he came out to show his frustration and anger with law enforcement.
"I'm not anti-police. I think we need police in society," Babou said. "But I think we need to hold police accountable when they do something wrong."
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to "Africa", the unarmed man killed by police.
Beauty does cost a $150,000. Lupita Nyong'o dress got lifted from her hotel room.
Uh, no.. NO, NO, NO!
What the......well you know!
A famed actress who won an Oscar for best female role got a very expensive dress lifted from her while she was partying with other celebs.
$150,000 pearl-adorned dress Lupita Nyong'o wore to this year's Academy Awards has been stolen. Deputies responded to a West Hollywood hotel late yesterday after the custom Calvin Klein Collection by Francisco Costa dress was reported missing from the actress's hotel room, said sheriff's Sgt. Richard Bowman. Representatives for the actress reported the theft, and detectives suspect the garment was stolen sometime between 8 and 9pm yesterday.
Detectives were at the hotel today looking for clues, including whether surveillance footage would reveal what happened to the gown. Nyong'o won an Oscar in 2014 for her role in Twelve Years a Slave and was a presenter at Sunday's ceremony. Her publicists said today they would not comment on the theft. Nyong'o, 31, has become a darling of Hollywood's red carpets in the past two years, with commentators and fans praising her fashion choices.
I guess tonight, it was found. The thief had second thoughts. The thief claims the dress was "fake".
Reuters report that the $150,000 Oscar gown worn by actress Lupita Nyong'o that was stolen two days ago was returned on Friday by the thief, who tipped off celebrity news site TMZ.com after finding out that the pearls on the dress were fake.
TMZ said the thief took the Calvin Klein dress from Nyong'o's hotel room on Wednesday after finding the door ajar. The Kenyan actress had worn the dress adorned with 6,000 pearls to Sunday's Academy Awards in one of the most commented looks of the night.
The thief and others removed two pearls from the dress and took them to the Garment District in downtown Los Angeles where they were told they were not real, according to TMZ.
The thief then took the dress back to the London West Hollywood hotel and told TMZ it was in a garment bag inside a trash bag in a bathroom.
TMZ then tipped off the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in West Hollywood, which was investigating the theft. The website shows grainy footage of an unidentified person opening the bag and finding a white dress.
Chris Brown and Tyga had to cancel concerts in Canada. Brown was denied entry to Canada. I'll betcha they'll blame Drake and Bryan "Birdman" Williams of Cash Money Records for their shortcomings.
Breezy was denied entry into the neighbor of the North. He must obtain special clearance if he is to perform in Canada. Unfortunately, this string of bad luck continues to plague the troubled, nearly washed up pop singer, rapper, celebrity agitator.
The singer tweeted yesterday, "The good people of the Canadian government wouldn't allow me entry," the New York Daily News reports, though that tweet has since been deleted. Concert promoter Live Nation later announced that "due to immigration issues," Brown's concerts (last night in Montreal and tonight in Toronto) have been canceled, the AP reports. Canada Border Services wouldn't comment on Brown's case specifically, but a spokesman said immigration officials use several factors to decide whether to allow entry, and criminal activity is one of those factors. Brown, of course, spent almost three months in jail last year for violating his probation, which he was on after assaulting Rihanna in 2009.
The Canadian government says Brown can apply to enter the country at a later date, and in his tweet, Brown noted that he has plans to return this summer. Brown's criminal record has previously gotten him barred from the UK, a snafu that forced him to cancel four concerts.
He and his best buddy Tyga (Michael Nyguen Stevenson) are promoting their collaboration album Fan of a Fan. They are also promoting their feud with native Canadian rapper/singer/entertainer Aubrey "Drake" Graham. They openly dissed Drake on albums and mixtapes.
Drake released his fourth album and addressed his feud with Tyga and Brown.
Tyga (left) and Chris Brown (right) release their debut collaboration album.
Since late October, the Cash Money/Young Money family has seen an internal feud spill out into the junk food media. It began when Tyga went on record to call Drake "fake" and says that he doesn't give two fucks about him and Nicki Minaj. Then Bryan "Birdman" Williams got fed up with the business being put out on the streets. He decided to put Tyga's album out to pasture and move Nicki Minaj's album to December.
Then in November, the hancho of Young Money Lil' Wayne took to Twitter to vent off frustration with Cash Money delaying his latest album. The album's release date is right now in the unknown, and Weezy F Baby openly went forth to say that he'll sue the label for delaying his album.
Williams, the CEO of Cash Money/Rich Gang has taken interest in Chris Brown, newcomers Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug. He wants to promote these three acts on the Rich Gang label, ignoring the Cash Money roster and putting his top act to the back burner.
If I could take back what happen? Big Suge knows his days of freedom are over!
There were things going on in the junk food media that happen to catch my radar.
First and foremost, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of The Jacka, a Bay Area rapper who was gunned down this week. He was a veteran of the hip-hop movement. He was associated with C-Bo and collaborated with E-40, Spice-1 and Yukmouth.
Dominic Newton (August 1977 – February 2, 2015), better known by his stage name The Jacka, was an American rapper from Pittsburg, California. The Jacka got his start with his group, Mob Figaz, whose first album, C-Bo's Mob Figaz, was released in 1999. Newton converted to Islam at a young age and changed his name to Shaheed Akbar. On February 2, 2015, he was fatally shot by an unidentified gunman in Oakland.
Prior to his death, he owned his own label entitled The Artist Records.
Down the way, Big Suge got denied bail. Marion "Suge" Knight the former co-founder of Death Row Records is charged for murder after his vehicle ran over two men killing one. He was trying to start trouble for The Good Doc while he was in Compton. Dr. Dre was there for the filming of the N.W.A. movie and it was a closed set. Big Suge decided to broker a "peace treaty" with his longtime rival.
Apparently Dre didn't get the word. His security cleared Big Suge off the set. There was a lot of yelling and thuggery. And out of nowhere, someone jumps into the vehicle and peels out running over the victim.
Suge still sticking to the code, telling the junk food media and his P.O. that he's not the driver and it was an accident. This accident is the final straw for the music mogul. He's already facing a charge of smacking up a photographer last year and this charge trumped up everything.
He's a doomed celebrity. If found guilty, he could face life in the iron college. Seriously, it would be a 5 - 20 year stay if it wasn't for the fact that Knight has a history of violence and he's part of the Cali three strikes system.
Them days of freedom for Big Suge are over. The gruesome hit-and-run of a person may be the media mogul's undoing.
Not only facing felonious assault for smacking up a female photographer but now add an alleged fatal hit and run. The legal woes continues for former Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight. The media mogul who formerly was a member of the domestic terrorist group The Bloods has been in and out of the iron college. But now this time, I think he's at his third strike and he's going to be out.
If the charges are proven, he's going to the iron college for LIFE.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department responded to a hit and run crash Thursday afternoon in Compton that multiple reports said involved Suge Knight .
Two people were hit, and one later died at a hospital, authorities said. According to Fox 11 and TMZ, Suge Knight was in the car that fled the scene.
Apparently Knight was trying to stalk Dr. Dre, Game and Ice Cube. They were at publicity shoot in the suburb of Compton. I guess Knight and his crew were going to be bystanders. Of course, some one shouted some offensive words at that's what lead to a huge fight. During the fight, someone got into a car and ran over a person. The fingers are pointed at Knight.
Knight and the good doc have an ongoing feud over the doc's departure from Death Row. Big Suge accuses the doc of being a sellout and snitch. Big Suge believes Dre betrayed the label. Dr. Dre was the other co-founder of Death Row.
After Dre's departure, he went forth to start up Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Audio.
Dr. Dre has a restraining order against Suge Knight. Knight has mocked it and questioned the sexuality of Dre in retaliation. He also sparked a major fight in 2004 after an associate of Knight sucker punched Dre and lead to former Aftermath rapper Young Buck to stab the guy.
The LAPD said that Knight has turned himself in. We don't have any new updates to this, but expect it be a story that me and S. Baldwin will continue to follow. We send our condolences to the victim who was killed in this senseless tragedy.
My gosh, I'm not a racist. It's just what we country folk say. I am not saying it's about NIGGERS! It's about the rain. A California sanitation director is being stripped after making racially insensitive statements.
Addicting Info got a gem about some politico for local office running his mouth about those NIGGERS who ruin his way of life. Of course, he denies that he's a racist and the like.
Laython Landis was censured after he been accused of making sexist, racist and homophobic themes.
He's telling that "It's raining cats and dogs, and little NIGGER babies!"
The 88-year old man has defended his actions by stating that he's a grown up in the south. He's been under the influence sometimes. He's been defiant towards resigning at the California’s Oro Loma Sanitary District.
Question, with all that age. is there an ounce of wisdom?
Somehow I had to check out this nonsense by looking at the Urban Dictionary.
A good way to describe how hard its raining outside, it's mostly used by country folk.
The Pitchfork and Nigger Babies theme is a more modern way of saying its raining cats and dogs...
Nothing is off limits since the verdict. Some LAPD officers will face discipline after attending a party for a retired officer. A performer played "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and happened to insert unarmed teen Michael Brown in it.
With heighten tensions in St. Louis County after another police shooting, the Los Angeles Police Department is doing an investigation of some of its officers who appeared at a retirement party where someone was parodying a song mocking unarmed teenager Michael Brown.
KTLA reports that the police department launched a preliminary investigation into a video that has emerged of a song that plays on the shooting death of Michael Brown. It was sung at a party thrown by a retired LAPD officer.
Police confirmed to the Los Angeles Times the investigation into the video, on which can be heard a parody of “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” that refers to the Ferguson, Mo., 18-year-old and includes lines such as, “His brain was splatter on the floor.”
The song was sung during a recent party hosted at the Glendale Elks Lodge by a retired LAPD officer, police said.
“I am aware of the video released via TMZ. Like many of you, I find it offensive & absurd. It does not reflect the values of the #LAPD,” Chief Charlie Beck tweeted. “I have directed our Professional Standards Bureau to look into this & determine if any active department employees were involved.”
Gary Fishell was performing the song.
The song was a parody of "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown." Gary Fishell, the performer and a member of the Lodge, changed the lyrics, which include:
Michael Brown learned a lesson about a messin'
With a badass policeman
And he's bad, bad Michael Brown
Baddest thug in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
Two men took to fightin'
And Michael punched in through the door
And Michael looked like some old Swiss cheese
His brain was splattered on the floor
And he's dead, dead Michael Brown
Deadest man in the whole damn town
His whole life's long gone
Deader than a roadkill dog
The event was the capper for a charity golf event, thrown by retired LAPD Officer Joe Myers, a 32 year veteran who left the force in 2007. We're told 50-60 people attended the dinner, and about half were cops, most of whom were retired. The others were civilians.
Fishell is a P.I. who once worked as an investigator for the Federal Government. His lawyer tells TMZ, Fishell now realizes the song was "off color and in poor taste." The lawyer adds, "He's a goofball who writes funny songs." We asked why Fishell would sing this in a room full of cops, and the lawyer replied, "He thought the room would get a kick out of it."
Wonder what this goofball says about the protesters who believe that police reform is necessary in the wake to two officers in New York being gunned down?
Former Aftermath Entertainment rapper Hayes murdered Canadian model/actress Stephanie Moseley before killing himself. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Stephanie Moseley.
LAPD determined that this event was a domestic violence dispute. This rapper was pissed that his wife may have cheated on him with a famous singer. It's allegedly that the actress may have hung out with R&B singer Trey Songz, and it drove the rapper crazy. Hayes has ties to boxer/media mogul Floyd Mayweather.
Investigators concluded that Hayes shot his wife while sleeping before he took himself out. This event happened in the early Monday morning at the Palazzo East in a LAPD news release Wednesday evening.
“Investigators have determined that Hayes killed his wife Stephanie in their home and then took his own life,” the news release stated.
Earl Hayes was a rapper who worked with Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather semi-retired from his boxing career to focus on entertainment. Mayweather is a rapper and media mogul.
Hayes, 34, was a musician and friend of professional boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. Moseley was a dancer who starred in the show “Hit the Floor” on VH1.
Mayweather’s camp communicated with Hayes shortly before the deaths, law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times.
Trey Songz really did invent sex. He's being accused by friends of Earl Hayes as the reason to why he committed murder on his estranged wife.
Friends and family members who arrived at the apartment complex Monday said the couple had been having marital problems.
Police at the scene of the shooting, which prompted a SWAT response, initially said the case was believed to be a murder-suicide.
After the bodies were found inside the couple’s home, police spoke to witnesses who corroborated that belief, Wednesday’s news release stated.
The Unit capo and Money Team capo stirred the pot. 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather stated that Stephanie Moseley cheated on Earl Hayes with R&B singer Trey Songz.
Mayweather and his former friend 50 Cent may have agitated the event. They claimed that the Mosley may have cheated on Hayes with R&B singer Trey Songz.
"He was crushed and never got over it," a source close to Hayes told TMZ.
Apparently the infidelity with the singer was one of many that he accused her of having, and was the cause for a separation between the couple two years ago.
Songz has not responded to the rumors, but did post a message of prayer for the actress/back-up dancer soon after news broke that she and Hayes were found dead inside an L.A. apartment. "R.I.P babygirl. Once an angel on earth, now watching over us from Heaven. You'll b missed but never forgotten. Love," he tweeted.
Hayes worked with Timbaland, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and was signed to Interscope for a brief moment.
The protesters for better policing found that in rural Missouri, they're not interested in fellow citizens using their American right to protest. To them it's disturbing their peace. So they'll use their American right to counter-protest. Of course why not have a couple of insensitive themes such as fried chicken, watermelon and a 40 oz in the path of protesters.
The White conservative extremists flood the discussion boards, talk radio shows, and even the very street of Ferguson, Missouri to tell the Michael Brown supporters that they need to go to hell. These extremists believe that even in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting along with numerous events of officer involved killings on unarmed suspects, racism is over.
Yes, the media makes it a race issue. Obviously the agitators of the left and right have debated this.
I've been cautious about it. Yeah, I believe some of the issues driven this year involved race.
However, I will say that my fears are basically the matter of law enforcement shooting unarmed suspects. There's just too many individuals who paid the price for just being a perception. Americans are the most racist, vindictive and immature bunch of human beings to ever exist.
Wonder why the world has issues with us?
Across the world, many nations look at the United States as the last global superpower. They believe that Americans are often look upon as arrogant. They hate us for the very freedoms why take advantage of. Those freedoms allows us to be condescending bigots.
NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST. THERE ARE BLACKS, LATINOS, ASIANS AND NATIVE AMERICANS WHO HATE OTHER RACES AS WELL.
And of course, the protesters are calling for better policing for all citizens.
That annoying conservative agitator debated Washington, DC delegate Congresswoman Elanor Holmes-Norton on the events in New York and the St. Louis area. He was so fucking disrespectful to her and never let her get an opportunity to defend her own comments. He was so obsessed with Brown's stepfather and comments from the Congressional Black Caucus. The members of the Black Caucus were outraged over the Eric Garner decision. They call upon President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and designate Loretta Lynch to do something about it.
That annoying conservative agitator and his minions of the racist right have worked up this notion that Black America isn't focused on crime in their own communities. Of course, being as condescending as most are, the racist right allows people like Rudy Giuliani (aka Mr. 9/11) to run his jaws on issue that have nothing to do with the issues these people are protesting about. He blames Bill de Blasio for the unrest in New York.
Bill de Blasio who is white is married to a Black woman. He had to give his own son Dante the talk about how others view him when he's dressed or driving on the public roads.
Under his term as mayor of New York City, Giuliani allowed unarmed Sean Bell, Amadou Diallo, and Timothy Stansbury to die.
de Blasio, the first Democratic mayor in 20 years is determined to clean up NYPD's act. The mayor now has at least three incidents under his term with the NYPD. The shooting of Akai Gurley isn't going to make things any better. Besides the Eric Garner controversy, there was the brutal attack on Alexian Lien beating on the Henry Hudson Parkway. There were NYPD officers who were part of a biker gang who beat Lien after he ran over another biker in a road rage incident.
Last month, while Akai Gurly was shot in Brooklyn after a rookie officer "accidentally" fired a round inside a empty stairwell. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Akai Gurly's family. More on this later. Peter Liang is on administrative leave for this.
This madness must stop. I mean the junk food media is agitating these issues and I am all for awareness but it's going to lead to more violence.
The protesters led by the NAACP got to Jefferson City, to vent anger at Missouri's embattled Democratic governor Jay Nixon for refusing to hire state issued special prosecutor to investigated the handling by former officer Darren Wilson and the Ferguson police force.
The junk food media had filmed protests happened in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cincinnati, New York, and even in Toronto.
The video here is quite disturbing but it shows the protesters marching through some of the towns in Missouri and you can hear some of those counter-protesting saying racial slurs.
This evil man ran over three girls. To think, this asshole is a father of children.
In the past week, three girls were killed by a reckless driver in the Los Angeles metro area. The Santa Ana police nabbed Jaquinn Bell after this evil man drove his vehicle into three young teens who were celebrating Halloween.
The Associated Press reports that the alifornia driver who police say struck and killed three teenage trick-or-treaters on Halloween before fleeing with his own children had recently pleaded guilty to a separate hit-and run, authorities said Monday.
Bell, 31, of Orange drove a black Honda SUV through a marked crosswalk on Friday near an elementary school in Santa Ana, hitting 13-year-old twin sisters Lexi and Lexandra Perez and their friend Andrea Gonzalez, police said.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to families of Andrea Gonzalez, Lexi and Laxandra Perez. These young girls didn't deserve this type of fate. This senseless tragedy could have been adverted.
Lexi and Lexandra Perez were twin sisters.
The victims, wearing costumes, were found lying in the street.
Authorities believe Bell fled with his two teenage children after ditching the damaged car in a nearby parking lot. He was arrested Sunday at a motel in Stanton, Santa Ana police Chief Carlos Rojas said.
"He left. He did not try to render aid, and thank God for other witnesses there who contacted the police department and allowed us to respond rather quickly," Rojas said. "Unfortunately it was a tragic end."
It was unclear why the driver fled the scene.
Brenda Gonzalez, Andrea's 24-year-old sister, said she went looking for the girls after her mother heard a loud car crash and wanted to warn them to be safe. As Gonzalez neared the scene, she saw the pillowcases the girls had been carrying to collect candy and the tutu her sister wore.
"The first thing that came through my mind was, why isn't anybody helping them," she said. "A few seconds later I realized, you know, there's a reason they're not helping them. They're gone."
Trick-or-treaters were also injured and killed in collisions in New York, Florida, Washington state and the nearby Orange County, California, city of Irvine, where a 65-year-old man died after he was struck by a car. His 4-year-old son was in critical but stable condition.
In Santa Ana, Bell was arrested for investigation of felony hit-and-run causing death and was being held on $500,000 bail. The case has been referred to the district attorney for possible charges. It was unclear if Bell has an attorney.
Andrea Gonzalez and her best friends were killed by an evil man.
Online court records show Bell pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor counts of child abuse, driving under the influence and hit-and-run with property damage. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail, three years' probation, and alcohol and child abuse treatment programs, according to a court spokeswoman.
He has prior convictions for reckless driving, spousal injury and violation of a protective order, the records show.
Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said Bell also had two outstanding bench warrants for $30,000 as of Monday. Further details on the warrants were not immediately available.
Police said they initially also detained Bell's 17-year-old son, 14-year-old daughter, mother and half-sister at the motel with Bell but later released them.
At the scene of the crash, residents have set up a makeshift memorial with dozens of balloons, flowers and candles. People gripped by the tragedy continued to stop to pay their respects.
Gonzalez said her younger sister, who loved music and baking, decided not to go to a Halloween party this year so she could trick-or-treat with her family. She tried to choose the least expensive costume.
"She was so selfless. She never asked for anything," Gonzalez said, wiping away tears. "She didn't even want to ask my mom for a costume for Halloween."
This charge being a convicted felon could carry him LIFE in the IRON COLLEGE. And of course, he's innocent until proven guilty. But given the record, he was saying to the judge, "Fuck ya! I'm going to drive, regardless of what you bitch ass judges say!"
Now this time, this father may never see his children graduate. He may never see his children get married or have children if he's sentenced to LIFE in the IRON COLLEGE.
