First time ever, a Black women will appear on a coin.
The U.S. Mint rolls out a new coin. The new $1.00 coin for the first time will feature a Black woman.
The mint will celebrate 225 years by minting this county with Lady Liberty depicted as a Black woman. The 24k gold coin will be the first of a series of coins that will also carry depictions of Asian-American, Hispanic-American, and Indian-American women, says the U.S. Mint.
The last gold coin was Sacagawea, the Native American woman who helped Meriwether Lewis and William Clark through the rugged United States. The last dollar coin was Susan B. Anthony, an American activist who fought for voting rights for women.
Then of course, our past presidents were on the dollar coins as well. The current living presidents and soon to be fuhrer won't be added on coins until death.
Sen. Cory Booker and many others oppose Jeff Session as the Attorney General.
Today is the confirmation hearings of the Attorney General. A controversial senator from the state of Alabama is the pick for the position. But his neo-Confederate ties, his past statements and his reaction towards the current issues in a post-Obama America are under fire.
Democrats are determined to fight against Republicans. They may lose this fight after the 113th Session pulled the "nuclear option" when it came to confirmation hearings. The 115th Session will quickly confirm nominees in this Republican controlled senate. They will now have the power to play moves they've longed complained the Democrats done during the eight years of Barack Obama's term.
New Jersey Democratic senator Cory Booker will testify against Alabama Republican senator Jeff Sessions in an attempt to block his nomination as the Attorney General of the United States.
Republicans faced criticism after they said they'll swiftly confirm fuhrer Donald J. Trump's picks for his cabinet and the federal courts.
At the Judiciary Committee, Booker will say that Session's record on civil rights and immigration will not live up to the principles of his predecessors.
The NAACP, the ACLU, many LGBT groups and immigration rights groups are opposing the nomination.
"I'm breaking a pretty long Senate tradition," said Booker when he was on All In with Chris Hayes.
"We've seen Jeff Sessions that's Senator Jeff Sessions --- consistently voting against or speaking out against key ideals of the Voting Rights Act, taking measures to try to block criminal justice reform."
Session was called "a threat to desegregation and the Voting Rights Act" by the NAACP.
The fuhrer and the squinty eyed bigot who he wants as the Attorney General.
So far Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) are strongly opposed to the nomination and will vote against him. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) signaled the same.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) are cautious about Sessions as well. Scott as the only Black senator who votes as a rank-and-file Republican had said that Sessions will get his vote after a "special emphasis". He is going to remind Sessions that his vote will be cast on the answers that are relevant to the current environment.
Given the time of racial and societal unrest, Scott did voice a bit of concern about the nominees.
Republicans demonized Eric Holder and his successor Loretta Lynch. Holder and Lynch are African American and they were attacked on their credentials and race by many agitators. Sessions was one of those agitators.
Fuhrer Trump, vice fuhrer Mike Pence and the beady eyed squinty bigot Jeff Sessions are a match made in Hell.
Iowa man was paralyzed by a cop's bullet after a minor traffic violation. Jerime Mitchell and his wife Bracken (right).
When the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature reality television star become your next fuhrer, I bet you money his squinty eyed Attorney General if confirm will not pursue charges against corrupt police officers.
Having a burnt taillight and a pound of weed might end up being a death sentence for a Black man.
Yeah, fleeing an officer was pretty stupid but to use deadly force instead of backing away from a fleeing vehicle is bad training in my opinion, I would not try to stop a vehicle fleeing the scene.
Cedar Rapids Police and Linn County Sheriff are doing an investigation into the shooting of Jerime Mitchell. The Iowa State Police and U.S. Justice Department are also determining if the officer used justifiable force. He was an unarmed motorist.
A routine pull over because of a license plate light led to a Black man being shot three times. He is paralyzed from the waist down. Now his family and the NAACP are demanding answers to why a simple stop could lead to this.
According to Officer Lucas Jones, Jerime struggled with him and his Belgian mulatte partner. Jones and the police dog were on him. Jones activated his door latch to release his police dog. But Jerime managed to slip through and got into his pickup truck.
Cedar Rapids Police are doing damage control after a routine stop turned into a near fatal shooting.
Jones would reach for his service weapon and start popping off while Jerime was driving.
Jerime who is a 37-year old father was being searched for possession of marijuana. Jones was "trying to search" the vehicle with Jerime saying forcible no to the search. Jones claimed that Jerime was the instigator.
Jerime disputes the account, he said that Jones was the aggressor. His supporters and civil rights activists have blasted the prosecutor for the ending the secret grand jury inquiry without obtaining any statement or testimony from him, who is now hospitalized with a bullet lodged in his neck.
The pull over was around 1:17 am. Investigators says Jones initiated the stop because the light bulbs that illuminate the license plate on Jerime's truck were burned out. A minor infraction.
This issue has touched a nerve to the lives of Black men.
Once again, Jones's testimony was more important than the victim's. The grand jury decided to not indict the officer. They also decided to not indict Jerime for the charges of marijuana possession and fleeing and eluding an arresting officer.
This terrorist was an 18 year old who used a butcher knife and his car as a weapon. He used it on the Ohio State University students who weren't aware.
I place the blame of this attack on the feet of Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Rob Portman, and John Kasich. They refuse to support mental health screenings for troubled teens. They believe that firearms in the classroom could stop a threat.
Again, I normally blame the suspect for the attack. But since political correctness is off the table, I will blame the Republican Party for the actions of extremists. They relish in this stuff and place the blame on the feet of Muslims, African Americans, immigrants, and progressives.
Well it's about time to blame the Republicans, the NRA and the self-serving "heroes" for this.
They don't get it.
So we'll keep the pressure on them until they get it.
The officer (right) was the one who bucked the terrorist. The junk food media pixeled the body when he dropped.
And why is it that the law can quickly put down a man of color! I never seen a cop put down a White terrorist. I mean what happened to the "drop your weapon" demand?
Was the terrorist lunging at the cop?
I am all for the cops stopping the threat, but how many people died when White terrorists shoot up schools and businesses before they end their own lives. No cops ever shot the shooters of Columbine, Sandy Hook and Umpqua Community College.
In Columbus, Ohio, the city police aided by the FBI are determining how a man managed to use his vehicle as a weapon and then pulls out a butcher knife and started stabbing. President Barack Obama, Ohio governor John Kasich and dictator in waiting were notified of the attack.
11 people were injured in this attack and of course the junk food media have already labeled this "radical Islam". The divisive phrase once again happens when a terrorist who is a practicing Muslim commits an attack on America or Western Europe.
The terrorist named Abdul Razak Ali Artan, an 18 year old man went to social media to say that he's had enough of the bullshit. So before he went into attack mode, he watched a couple videos from Anwar al-Awlaki, the American born cleric who had ties to al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula.
al-Awlaki was killed in 2011. But his legacy as well as Osama bin Laden and Adam Gadahn still lives on. They have been killed by U.S. forces. But since social media is a gateway to extremism, this terrorist found comfort with the rhetoric of the dead.
Ohio State University students are rattled by a madman's attack on the campus.
The Somali born man lived in Columbus. He was frustrated with American influence in the Muslim world.
"America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah. We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that," said the terrorist before he set it off.
The last posting from him was "Forgive and forget. Love."
The terrorist was the "good guy". The terrorist has no criminal history. He has no ties to Black Lives Matter or any terrorist group. He was attending Columbus State Community College for a few years before he graduated with his associate's degree. He took an opportunity to head to Ohio State to pursue education there. He may have been triggered by alleged discrimination. He escaped the Somali war. He sough asylum in the United States. He lived in Dallas before settling in Columbus.
He talked to the Ohio State University newspaper The Lantern about his experience.
"If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don't know what they're going to think, what's going to happen."
This attack happened at 10am and it was quickly defused by a campus cop who shot the terrorist on sight. The officer, Alan Horujko was placed in the freezer pending the outcome of the investigation.
Horujko was a member of OSU Police for two years.
Of course, the reactionary would say its the works of the Islamic State. The Sunni based terrorist group that has spooked many here in the United States and became a fodder for the incoming dictator.
The terrorist group called for lone wolf attacks. Some people are inspired by the call to action.
The incoming dictator promises a Muslim ban and "extreme vetting" of people coming from nations that have possible links to terrorism.
The world is mourning the loss of Cuba's former leader Fidel Castro.
Fidel Castro, the legendary leader in the Caribbean nation of Cuba has passed away at the age of 90. World leaders have sent their condolences to the former Cuban president. Born Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, he led Cuba throughout the Cold War. He was icon in Cuba as well as her in the United States.
Here in the United States, I can only imagine how conservatives are screaming for joy knowing an "enemy" of the country is gone.
Castro was the leader of the 1959 Cuban Revolution. He lead a coalition of Cubans to overthrow U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. Castro ruled the island nation for nearly 50 years. His supporters say that he was for the people. His detractors said that he was a dictator and cruel despot who suppressed opposition.
He would test the United States by thumbing his finger in the eye of 10 presidents.
In 2006, Castro would face ill health and couldn't lead the nation. He would pass his legacy to his younger brother Raul. Raul Castro announced the news on state television tonight.
Castro spent his final years in seclusion and made some appearances with foreign dignitaries. He would also take to a blog to talk about the world events. The junk food media over here broke into local programming to express their know nothing opinions.
He was born in Cuba. He was upset over the Batista government and how it was cruelly treating the people of Cuba. Castro was aided by guerrilla war strategist Che Guevara. They fought the Cuban leader and defeated him. Castro would become the prime minister of Cuba.
He would criticize the United States after the CIA-lead Bay of Pigs Invasion. He would ban all Americans propeties from the island. That in turn led to the embargo of Cuba. This is still in effect. President Barack Obama eased tensions with Cuba by lifting sanctions against the island.
Castro would spark the Cold War when he said that the United Socialist Soviet Republic (USSR/Soviet Union/Russia) and their nuclear weapons are welcomed in Cuba.
Castro would be sworn in as president of Cuba in 1976.
Castro played a role in the Elian Gonzalez affair. The Cuban government demanded the U.S. to return the boy to his father. The U.S. rightfully so by force. It was the iconic picture of a frightened boy with U.S. Marshals armed pulling him from a closet. The U.S. and Cuba would negotiate a refugee agreement after that.
Throughout the Cold War, Castro was considered a threat to the U.S.
Expect President Barack Obama and his successor, that controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/dictator in waiting Donald J. Trump to respond to the news.
Cubans exiles are cheering the death.
The nation of Cuba uses economic Communism. Castro believed that the government should give the land back to the people and to defend the rights of the poor. Some didn't agree to Communism and opposed him. But all threats were quickly stopped. Some middle class Cubans would flee to Florida to settle after Castro threatened imprisonment and death to people who tried to overthrow him.
President Barack Obama was notified of the mass shooting today. The governor of the state was notified as well. No statement from the Republican governor.
The blood of these people lie on Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, and Kentucky governor Matt Bevin hands. Another mass shooting in America and your inept lawmakers in Congress refuse to pass comprehensive gun control.
I normally blame the shooter for every mass shooting. Now that political correctness is off the table, I will blame Republicans for the genocide of America.
By allowing firearms in the hands of everyone, it pretty much gives individuals the power to be executioner of those who wronged them. No matter what the reason!
Two people were killed and four others were injured after a mass shooting in Louisville, Kentucky.
Some will survive this encounter. Others may not survive the night.
This is the Juice Bowl. This event was held at Shawnee Park. This is an event where families come together to enjoy a game of youth football. This terrorist took that away for some petty bullshit.
On Thanksgiving of all things, a terrorist opened fire on a youth football game where many people were in attendance. Even worse, the mayor of Louisville Metro was there and was totally shocked and angered by the rash of violence on a day where we're supposed to be family.
Given that controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/reality television star will take office in January, the thoughts of coming together are over. There's no such thing as unity in Trump's America. He will make America great again on the
Wonder if disgraced news agitator Lauren Podell will hop on social media to rant about being tired of hearing about NIGGERS killing each other? After all she doesn't value the Black lives lost to gun violence.
Louisville Metro Police asks for tips to nab the terrorists involved in this mass shooting.
A San Antonio detective was bucked while doing a traffic stop. His death along with three other shootings of police officers are showing a disturbing trend. Is there really a war on cops?
I don't condone violence against any member of law enforcement. However, too many of these incidents in America signals retaliation. The disturbed will use their Second Amendment rights to attack police officers. They are frustrated with the failure to indict officers in the murders of unarmed people of color. Some groups are plotting for mass attacks on communities of color and those in law enforcement.
White extremists are interested in positions with law enforcement. Some of the members of law enforcement were fired out the cannon after they were caught doing something racially offensive.
The rise of extremism is fueled by the victory of the most divisive piece of shit elected to the White House. His win is a victory to the so-called alt-right. This group are the professional suit and tie White extremists.
Maybe there's some truth to this!
Is there really a war on cops?
The officers acquitted have gotten away with "justifiable" murder without an ounce of remorse. Now I fear that the mentally insane are willing to pour blood of officers for the lives lost to police violence.
Now I remember the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/reality television star who will serve as your next President of the United States has said that there's a war on the police. He said he will be the president of "law and order" and will work to help the inner cities. In the mind of your soon to be president, the inner cities are hellholes and he promises to make them great again.
Well if he keeps his word, I expect gun violence will increase. He is a huge supporter of the Second Amendment and believes its essential to not take firearms from "real Americans".
Donald J. Trump is well on his way to create a civil war.
Well in the world of law enforcement, a good guy with a gun is still an active shooter and their lives are on the line.
In Texas, Missouri, Kansas and Florida, there were police shootings.
A manhunt ended today for the individual who murdered a veteran San Antonio police detective who was during a routine traffic stop. Det. Benjamin Marconi was shot and killed a terrorist named Otis McCain. The terrorist was apprehended without a shot fired. The terrorist was a Black man. He will be indicted on capital murder. He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He could face the DEATH CARD.
In Missouri a sergeant with the St. Louis Police was shot in the face by a man who pulled up next to him at a traffic light. The terrorist George P. Bush was caught. He allegedly has a long rap sheet with criminal activity. He was caught without a shot fired. The sergeant was injured but will survive his injuries. The terrorist is innocent until proven guilty. Attempted murder in Missouri can carry LIFE in the iron college.
In Kansas City metro area, a Gladstone Police officer was shot at point blank range after a routine traffic stop. The officer survived his injuries. He managed to get the terrorist. The terrorist was killed after the encounter. The terrorist wasn't identified at present time. The Kansas City Metro Police and FBI will aid in this investigation.
In Florida, an officer was shot by a terrorist after he done a routine stop. Officer Jarred Ciccone was shot in the shoulder by the terrorist. The terrorist Jon Hay was quickly apprehended and is charge with attempted murder. He will face LIFE in prison if convicted. The terrorist is innocent until proven guilty.
And of course, we will expect the controversial Wisconsin sheriff of Milwaukee County David Clarke, Jr. comes on to bash President Barack Obama, Black Lives Matter, and gun control advocates. Clarke is a bully behind the badge. He is a token and a fucking internet troll.
Clarke is vying for a position in the Trump Klan Administration.
President-elect Donald Trump picks Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) as his Attorney General.
The controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/reality television star elected as our 45th President picks a controversial establishment lawmaker who is going to serve as the AG. He also picks an establishment Republican as his CIA-director. He picks an Islamophobe as his National Security. And the list of names are growing in this transition period.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is going to be our next Attorney General of the United States. This squinty eyed pro-Confederate bigot was the first senator to come out in favor of the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/reality television star Donald J. Trump.
Session is anti-immigrant. He's a climate change denier. He is a supporter of the losing side of the Civil War and is an obnoxious bigot.
He also got Stephen Bannon on his roster as his political strategist. Bannon is known to have White extremist views. The former president of Breitbart News has stroked "fake news" about President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for years.
Breitbart was at the forefront of bitching about Facebook removing conservative news from its viral feed. They believed its censorship.
Trump also picked Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS) as his CIA-director. Pompeo supports torture and the Muslim ban.
Trump picked Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn as his National Security Adviser. Flynn is considered an Islamophobe.
These decision won praise from Republicans. Democrats and civil rights group denounces these decisions as examples of the divide.
Do you honestly believe that a cop could face a conviction given that most of these high profile incidents often go without one?
I won't hold my breathe. Matter of fact, "I can't breathe!"
Too many of these murderers behind a badge get away with this. I am so frustrated with the scenario where a cop can just deadly force if his or her life is in danger.
I wouldn't be surprised that the cop who bucked Philando Castile will have a lawyer demanding to see the criminal history of Philando. I bet you money they're going to cross exam Diamond Reynolds, the woman who livestreamed her boyfriend being shot by this cop.
We're on the first steps of a trial. The indictment. The Minnesota State Police and Ramsey County prosecutors recommended criminal charges against Jeronimo Yanez, the officer from St. Anthony Police Department.
Yanez is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. If convicted of second degree murder he could face LIFE in the iron college. The reckless discharge of a firearm charge could carry up to 1o years in the iron college.
In July, Yanez stopped Philando's vehicle for an alleged taillight being out. Yanez earlier radioed the dispatchers that he thought the two were involved in a robbery. He wanted to check IDs. The cop thought Philando had a "wide-set nose".
Yanez asked for Philando's license and registration. Philando said that he was licensed to carry a weapon and had one in his pants pocket.
Diamond said that Yanez shot Philando after he was reaching for his ID. He was shot four times in the arm. He would die of his injuries.
No mugshot of this murderer.
What Yanez is going to use as defense. He's was up to no good at the time excuse. And if he convinces an all White jury that he feared for his life, Yanez walks.
Now this happened around the same time that Alton Sterling was shot and killed by Baton Rouge Police. This inspired two terrorists to ambush officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge.
The number of police/vigilante shootings of unarmed or legally licensed individuals inspired Black Lives Matter. The group has been very vocal about gun crime and police reform. It's often attacked by the alt-right and conservative agitators as fanning the seeds of hate against White people and the cops.
Justice for Philando is trending once again. But will hashtag activism eventually lead to a conviction?
Janet Reno passed away. She was the first woman appointed as the Attorney General of the United States.
Breaking today is the death of the first woman appointed as the Attorney General of the United States. Janet Reno passed away overnight. She was 78 years old. The complications of Parkinson's Disease led to her death.
Reno is best known for being the toughest female top cop. Bill Clinton appointed Reno to become the Attorney General in 1993. She served throughout Clinton's two terms.
She would be involved in the deadly World Trade Center attack of 1993, the Waco stand off, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing and the Columbine massacre. The Elian Gonzalez affair was a controversial issue.
Born in 1938, Reno grew up in Miami, Florida, with parents who both worked as reporters for Miami newspapers. After attending Cornell University for her undergraduate degree, Reno enrolled at Harvard University for law school in the early 1960s. During her first year, she heard one of her heroes, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, speak at the Sanders Theater.
"She was so wonderful and her voice was still so clear and so magnificent," Reno later recalled in a 1993 speech to the Women's Bar Association. "And I went up to her afterwards, and I said, "Mrs. Roosevelt, I think you are perfectly wonderful." And I will never forget her looking at me and saying, 'Why, thank you, my dear. Those words mean so much to me.' And she seemed to mean it."
When Clinton's administration was rocked by the Whitewater scandal, Reno was the person tasked with appointing special prosecutor Robert Fiske to lead the probe in 1994.
The Clintons were never charged with criminal wrongdoing.
In Clinton's second term -- months before his impeachment -- the Republican-controlled House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform voted to cite Reno for contempt of Congress for failing to hand over key memos.
Reno eventually provided those documents. Congress never moved forward with a vote on the matter.
News hits the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign today knowing that she will not be indicted in the email server.
Does Hillary Clinton got this wrapped up? Could we all be wrong?
When will it be over?
If you're a Clinton supporter, don't panic. She is LIKELY to win this. She has a 75% chance at winning the election. If you are already tired of the election and the news about her emails, then you're not alone.
For die hard Trump supporters, its the turnaround for the controversial billionaire.
The folks over at Fox News are having a nonstop montage of Hillary Clinton and the goddamn emails. Without any facts, the agitators on that network are making assumptions about Clinton. They claim her campaign is panicking.
A discipline campaign doesn't panic. Clinton is pretty confident that she will win this general election. The email scandal isn't earth shattering. It's a distraction.
Democrats are furious about this. They believe the FBI director is playing politics.
FBI director James Comey wrote to Congress a letter that acknowledged an issue that has nothing to do with her. This set off the conservatives and their standard bearer Donald Trump.
Trump licking his chops is calling upon the FBI to finally deliver justice to Clinton.
Trump who is struggling in the polls is hoping this surprise could help him.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and many Republican lawmakers are saying this could be the smoking gun.
The FBI obtained the laptop of Huma Abdein, the estranged ife of disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner.
Weiner who resigned from Congress in 2011 after he was caught sexting women online became an issue back in July. He allegedly sexted a 15 year old girl and the FBI is looking on that laptop for any evidence of child porn.
Now I don't care about this stuff. In 10 days, one of these candidates will be the president. Expect this partisan rancor to carry the new president into the new year.
Hillary Clinton has a 75% chance of winning the general election.
Okay, the latest on the damn emails. FBI director James Comey wrote to Congressional committees involved that the case is being reopened.
This case isn't related to the Democratic nominee using an unauthorized network to store classified information. It turns out that it may be an issue with ex-lawmaker Anthony Weiner. Regardless, this has been one of the many "scandals" Republicans tried to stick on her.
With less than a few weeks to the election, this is the ongoing headache Clinton needs right now. Like most politicians with temperament, she will wait until the FBI concludes its investigation.
Her supporters are getting nervous.
FBI director James Comey investigates the Clinton emails again.
The Republicans are licking their chops again. Donald Trump in Manchester, NH made the move to say that its time to write the wrong and indict Clinton. He invoke former CIA director and general David Patareus as a factor.
David Patareus was caught in a sex scandal while he was then the top man at the CIA. He gave classified information to reporter Paula Broadwell who he was having a romantic affair with. Patareus was given a nickel of federal in-house and ordered to pay a lenghty sum for this.
Mind you that Clinton was not charged with a criminal act.
The Republicans are still bemoaning that Clinton deliberately lied to federal prosecutors and Congress. The Republicans are opting for perjury of Congress charges.
Once again these emails are just a part of the Republican led investigations into the 9/11/12 attack on Benghazi. They're trying to tie this scandal to Clinton.
This has been a canard around President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
They seething with resentment and partisan rancor.
The conservative agitatiors see Wikileaks as saviors. They put their trust in a foreign entity that illegally hacked into a personal server of a political operative.
They put their trust in a man who is shady in his own right.
The party of law and order isn't the Democrats. It's certainly not the Republican Party.
A train derailed in New Jersey. Infrastructure is crumbling in the United States.
Around 9am, a commuter train derailed at a train station in Hoboken, New Jersey. The train derailment has put many in the hospital and at least five fatal injuries.
The NTSA and the New Jersey transit are investigating the cuase of the derailment.
An estimated 15,000 people take commuter trains to New York City.
The feds don't suspect terrorism as of yet.
The need for safety is necessary. Congress passed a stop gap bill that funds the government for the remaining year. They couldn't figure out the funds for the Zika virus and infrastructure spending.
The train derailment is an example of issues that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump must talk about. They need to bring out a plan to fix the roads, bridges and rails.
President Barack Obama tried and failed. He could not get Republicans on board with his proposals.
Tulsa Police buck a man who had a vehicle break down. Of course, we're supposed to give the police the benefit of the doubt right? After all, we can't complain about police brutality and supporting Black Lives Matter is anti-cop.
BE WARNED THE VIDEOS THAT ARE VIEWED ARE DISTURBING. TAKE DISCRETION IN VIEWING THE VIDEOS.
Again, I am done sending my condolences to the families. I am tired of seeing this stuff happening in the United States. I would like Congress to pass police reform. I would like something done about gun crimes in the United States. I want to have accountability for police officers who kill unarmed individuals.
I will not stand for the pledge or national anthem until things are done.
The junk food media is covering a fatal police encounter in which a Black man who was unarmed with his hands in the air being shot dead by the Tulsa Police. The officer was a White female and the victim was a 40 year old man who had no weapons on him. His vehicle broke down in the middle of the road. He was the father of four children and was a member of his local church.
Terence Crutcher was the victim of this shooting. The officer who shot Crutcher has been identified as Betty Shelby. The officer who deployed his Taser was named as Tyler Turnbough. These two are in the freezer pending a state investigation.
Shelby been on the payroll for about five years. Shelby has been accused of using excessive force twice during her career, local news agitators reported.
Both of those complaints were determined to be unfounded, the news station reports. Details of those cases were not immediately available.
Her personnel file also shows that she is a field training officer, meaning she works to train rookie officers.
She has also received four letters of commendation and an Oklahoma meritorious service award, according to the junk food media. Shelby is married to one of the officers who piloted the helicopter.
The officer who was in a helicopter said that Terence, "looked like a bad dude. Probably on something". That merit criticism.
Turnbough been with the Tulsa police for nearly seven years.
The video that's been shared across the social media shows Terence with his hands up.
This tensions are high right now. You may remember that we covered the controversy a year ago involving a spoiled millionaire who took the role as executioner to a man who was on his back being detained. This spoiled man heads to the iron college for a measly nickel for shooting Eric Harris.
Think if Eric Harris was a spoiled millionaire who had shot this guy. He would be sent to the iron college for LIFE or gotten the DEATH CARD for it.
Here's how the police and junk food media justify a shooting of an unarmed Black man.
He refused to comply to an order
He had been pulled over numerous times.
He has a criminal record (for felonies or traffic violations).
He had drugs on him.
He had a firearm on him.
He had served time in prison.
He took off running.
The cop feared for his (or her) life.
The family along with their attorney urged the public to not cause violence. They said that Terence's name will not be smeared by the police and junk food media.
“We are truly devastated, the entire family is devastated,” said Tiffany Crutcher, Terence’s twin sister.
“You all want to know who that big bad dude was? That big bad dude was my twin brother. That big bad dude was a father. That big bad dude was a son. That big bad dude was enrolled at Tulsa Community College. … That big bad dude loved God. That big bad dude was at church singing with all his flaws every week. That big bad dude, that’s who he was.”
How long will it take before a concern troll bring up Black on whatever violence or President Barack Obama's name?
How long will it take before a conservative agitator start bringing up Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson?
The cops who deployed weapons are in the freezer.
When will they peak into the social media habits of Terence and this officer? Obviously I am expecting pro-Trump, pro-cop and White extremists trying to find an ounce of wrong on Terence's part.
Refusing a cop's order isn't merit for death. Oklahoma is an open carry state. Terence didn't have a firearm on him. Given if he did, they would justify the shooting because in an "open carry" state, a Black man with a firearm is still a criminal.
Obviously we'll expect the conservative Black extremists to attack the character of Terence or Black Lives Matter.
Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke, Jesse Lee Peterson and Kevin Jackson will find some reason to say to blame Terence for his death. They blame Obama for "Black males living in fatherless homes" or his policies "hurting Black America." They will demonize protesters and say that it's best to get the information before blaming the cops.
When the law bucks Black men, they probably killed a father. So it's pretty disingenuous to say that Black fathers aren't taking care of their children. Terence was a father who took care of his children.
Now his children will be fatherless. Will they justify the fact that the law took away their father?
The Tulsa Police are doing an investigation into the fatal shooting. They are calling upon the U.S. Justice Department to do a federal probe into its standards.
Did you know that Oklahoma had the most fatal police encounters?
So far it's on record to have 70 fatal police shootings this year alone.
Columbus Police fatally shoots a boy with a pellet gun.
In Columbus, Ohio, the police are investigating a fatal encounter with a boy who was allegedly carrying a pellet gun. The law claims that the boy was involved in an armed robbery.
The name of the boy was trending on social media. The child identified as Tyree King had "pulled a gun from his waistband" when officers attempted to take him and another child in custody.
As the situation unfolded, the officer who is not named fired multiple times on King.
The weapon was recovered and the law determined that it was a BB gun. It had an attached laser sight. Of course that's the usual word play of justifying shooting.
"Our officers carry a gun that looks practically identical to this weapon. It turns out not to be a firearm, but as you can see, it looks like a firearm that can kill you", said Columbus chief of police Kim Jacobs.
Police were called to the neighborhood around 7pm on a report of a group of people who tried rob a person.
Officers followed the males into an alley and attempted to take them into custody. King was allegedly taking the BB gun from his waistband and that's when the officer fired on him.
The boy died an hour later at the local hospital. The officer known as Brian Mason, a nine year member of the Columbus Police is the officer who shot King. Mason is in the freezer pending the outcome of the situation. I am assuming that concern trolls and racists are trying to look into social media of Tyree King, to justify the shooting. No word of trolls looking into Mason's social media and officer training files.
I am guessing that the city is preparing for protests because they were quick to release the name of the officer who shot the child. They haven't released the dash camera, audio or body camera of the officer. The witnesses involved haven't posted on social media or talked to the junk food media.
This week everyone in the junk food media was slamming San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick for refusing to stand for the national anthem. The criticism is fierce and it was furious.
Even Sean "Softball" Hannity was running his mouth about this. He claimed Kaepernick was a Muslim who had ties to "radical Islam".
Kaepernick was getting death threats, the NFL has threatened to cut him from the team, and people were burning his jersey.
The one thing that came to mind, how were our brave men and women of the U.S. military reacting to this controversy?
Well it was mixed. But as of today, the hashtag #VeteransForKaepernick was trending on social media.
Some of the men and women of color who served said that they're proud of Kaepernick for taking such as stance. They said that they're fighting for the freedom of everyone, including those who criticize our country's brutal treatment of people of color.
Here's a few interesting posts from supporters of Kaepernick.
It seems like Colin Kaepernick sparked a movement and not a moment. There will be more, rest assured. Until Congress pass police reform, gun control and acknowledge racism exist, you're going to see more of this.
More divisive rhetoric from Wisconsin sheriff David Clarke.
Police Benevolent Union of New York decided to honor the most divisive figure in the junk food media. Patrick Lynch honored Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke for his outstanding benefits to those who wear the badge.
A politically divisive figure who called Black Lives Matter activists a bunch of slime. A politically divisive figure who called then Attorney General Eric Holder an "asshole". A politically divisive figure who said that President Barack Obama hates cops and relishes in the murder of Whites.
A politically divisive figure who is a Black lawman who was elected as a Democrat. A politically divisive figure who resides over a country that is ranked one of the worst places for Black people to live.
A city with a population of 648,000 residents. A city that is divided by a viaduct that literally divides the city's Black and White population. The well off live south of the city. The poor live in the north.
An area where residents claim that the political divisive rhetoric from this figure created the distrust.
A politically divisive figure who appears on Fox News and especially Sean "Softball" Hannity's program more than a handful of times to bash Black leaders who call for accountability.
Rubbing salt in the wound, NYPD police union boss Patrick Lynch honors David Clarke, a Black conservative sheriff from Wisconsin.
This is who they honor for their Patrolman of the Year.
“I think of Mr. Clarke the same way I regard Bull Connor, the same kind of law enforcement officer who would sick fire hoses and dogs on elderly women,” said Kirsten John Foy, northeast regional director for the National Action Network.
“I think he has a disregard for people of color. He has allowed the power that comes with the badge or the gun to cloud his true mission or perspective. “
Marquez Claxton, a retired NYPD detective and former member of the 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement group, called the PBA’s decision to honor Clarke “surprising and disturbing.”
“This is a guy who is beyond polarizing, who has zero empathy at even understanding about police community relations, who has even less respect for communities of color,” Claxton said.
“He really is often times nothing less than a hate-monger.”
Two figures that dismiss BlackLivesMatter and President Barack Obama.
PBA President Pat Lynch offered a vastly different take on Clarke, an unabashed Donald Trump supporter who has become a hero to the right for taking on black activists.
“During this challenging and dangerous period for police officers across the country, Sheriff Clarke has stepped into the national spotlight as a passionate defender of our profession, appearing frequently on TV programs and at high-profile events such as the Republican National Convention to push back against the rising tide of anti-police sentiment,” Lynch wrote in a letter to his members.
Lynch and Clarke are politically divisive figures. The trust between Blacks and law enforcement is at an all time low. We can credit them for agitating the notion that cops can't do wrong and it's the fault of Blacks.
According to Lynch and Clarke, any criminal act by a Black suspect is punishable for death.
The Baltimore Police are working on uprooting corruption within its department after a damning DOJ report came out.
I remember watching an episode of Nightline on ABC. Byron Pitts, a native of Baltimore done a ride along with the law trying to uncover a pattern of corruption within the police department.
This week marked a bombshell in the wake of Freddie Gray murder trial. The six officers will walk but the department they represent will have a top-to-bottom scrubbing by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The Department of Justice determined that Baltimore Police officers were really out of line.
Damning evidence determined that the Baltimore city police were engaging in pattern of bias stops and unconstitutional searches of Black residents. Some of these stops were merited on perception of criminal activity without proof of an event occurring.
The riots of 2015.
The report covered nearly six years of monitoring and evaluations of the Baltimore Police.
There were systemic deficiencies in training, policies and accountability structures. The police department failed to equip officers with the tools they need to police effectively.
Baltimore has a 70 percent Black population. The police department is 86 percent White. The DOJ had finalized a pattern of behavior that involved officers and supervisors saying NIGGER towards suspects and President Barack Obama.
Martin O'Malley, then mayor, governor and failed presidential candidate enforced the "zero tolerance" enforcement practices that emphasized on stops, searches and arrest for repeated violations of constitutional rights that eroded the community's trust.
Outgoing mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake continued the "zero tolerance" enforcement throughout her term until the Freddie Gray incident.
Over 44 percent of the stops occurred in two small predominately Black neighborhoods that contained only 11 percent of the city's populations. The affluent neighborhoods of Baltimore.
Hundreds of individuals were stopped at least 10 times during this period, and seven people were stopped more than 30 times.
Only 3.7 percent of these stops ended with a citation or an arrest.
Some of the officers used excessive force and escalated verbal exchanges with people they've stopped. Instead of brushing it off, officers would threaten arrest or brutally assault the person.
Some of the suspects who were juvenile were treated like adults. They were searched without being read their rights.
They treated a rape victim who was a transgender woman as a man who shouldn't been flaunting his junk on the streets. A transgender prostitute would be stripped searched by men. Some of the rape cases remained open because the officers questioned the victim's account because they were prostitutes.
When some residents filmed officers, cursed or pointed their third digit at officers, they were detained and cited for disorderly conduct. Under the First Amendment, you were allowed. The officers were in the wrong by confiscating the recording, arresting an individuals because he said "fuck the cops".
Marilyn Mosby is determined to uproot injustices caused by officers and is determined to restore order and respect within the Baltimore Police Department. She felt that the DOJ's report satisfy claims made by residents in the city about unfair practices.
Conservatives have attacked her for being in the forefront of #BlackLivesMatter. As state prosecutor, she had made it a mission to hold those responsible for the deaths of individuals held in police custody.
Police commissioner Kevin Davis said that any officer who "chose to engage in racist, sexist, discriminatory or biased-based policing" will be under the radar.
This was never mentioned by conservatives or Republican lawmakers. After all, they are supposed to be the group that supports the cops and stand by this "law and order".
Now if you're a supporter of the police being innocent of horrific crimes, read from The Drudge Report, support the ignorance of Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke, support the racial arsonist Colin Flaherty and blog, determined to give corrupt cops the "benefit of doubt", share racially insensitive emails about Black people, President Barack Obama or other groups and listen to agitators like that old fart Rush Limbaugh and "Softball" Hannity, you're likely a Donald Trump and Mike Pence supporter.
She couldn't predict her own death. Miss Cleo aka Youree Harris passed away!
"Call me now!"
The words of the famous words of TV psychic Miss Cleo. Well the junk food media broke the news that the actress behind the controversial Psychic Readers & Friends Network passed away today.
Youree Harris, the self proclaimed psychic who swamped the networks with commercials during the late 1990s until mid 2000s.
She passed away from complications with cancer. Harris also went by Ree Perris, Youree Cleomili, Youree Dell Harris, Rae Dell Harris and Lady Cleo. Although she had the Jamaican accent, Harris was originally from Los Angeles.
She grew up in Seattle, and trained in voice acting and landed a few roles on television during the 1980s.
Her big break came when she put on the Carribbean head scarf and started winging it with the voice of ya shamen! Those commercials were annoying as hell. They were everywhere.
They were pulled after the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice ended the charade. Prosecutors took a hold of her birth certificate to show that Harris was born in Los Angeles and not Jamaica.
She would be the subject of a "deceptive advertising, billing and collections practice". The company sponsoring the Psychic Readers & Friends was indicted. Access Resource Services was fined $5 million in damages.
.
When the feds ended the Miss Cleo ads, Harris was struggling for a job. She wasn't being paid the millions of dollars the company intaked. She took a nosedive in her career.
The only thing besides playing Miss Cleo, Harris lent her voice to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. She played Auntie Poulet, a Haitian voodoo shaman and drug lord.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Miss Cleo (aka Youree Harris).
Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputy made terroristic threats but managed to skirt with minor DUI and brandishing gun charge.
Santa Clara Sheriff's Department doing damage control after one of their deputies caused a terroristic threat at a local Jack in The Box restaurant.
A video posted online shows the deputy involved in a standoff with police after he decided to pull his piece on an employee working at the restaurant in the early morning.
Jack in the Box is open 24/7 365. There are usually club goers who decide to grab a bite between the hours of 2 am and 4am. Jack in the Box is there to serve the needs.
However, this terrorist (an off duty deputy) Benjamin Lee decided to get into a hissy fit about waiting on the food.
The worker and his crew immediately called 9-1-1 and stalled the terrorist. When the police arrived with AR15's drawn, the terrorist surrendered to police.
Lee was charged with DUI and brandishing a weapon. Of course, he's innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He will have a disciplinary hearing.
Many in social media are calling the charges bullshit. He wasn't charged with aggravated assault or making terroristic threats with a deadly weapon.
The Free Thought Project brought attention to this incident. It hasn't even gotten mainstream attention.
Where's the outrage from concern trolls like "Lumpy" Softball Hannity, Sheriff David Clarke, and old fart Rush Limbaugh?
Where is Alex Jones, Colin Flaherty and the rest of the racial agitators with their guilt-by-clicks?
Are they trolling social media for affiliations to #BlackLivesMatter, President Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton or White extremists?
They're too busy worrying their asses off about that idiot lawmaker stepping down after she criticized another idiot lawmaker running for president. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) steps down as DNC chair after emails revealed that she criticized Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his failed bid for president. The Sanders campaign claim the DNC was in the tank for Hillary Clinton.
You know police officers have pulled firearms on innocent people for no good reason. I mean they get away with this stuff. If this was a Black, Hispanic or practicing Muslim man doing this, expect the law to buck them on sight.
There is a need to address the abuse of power by those in law enforcement. Maybe this incident will kindly remind the #BlueLivesMatter movement that this isn't just one isolated incident.
