Freddie Gray's Family Rather Have Indicted Cops Jailed Than The Money!

Baltimore settles with family of Freddie Gray.

Baltimore paid the family of Freddie Gray $6.4 million in damages. Many conservatives are outraged at state prosecutor Marilyn Mosby and mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake for this.

They believe Freddie Gray injured himself and the six officers indicted are innocent of his death.

They believe Black Lives Matter, President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party is anti-cop, anti-White and anti-whatever.

This punitive damages of $6.4 million will resolve all civil claims related to his arrest and death. The payout needs approval from the city's spending panel and that OK is expected to come tomorrow.

Once granted, the money would be doled out over a two-year period. A statement from Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's office says that the settlement "should not be interpreted as a judgment on the guilt or innocence of the officers facing trial." Rather, the city's decision to accept civil liability in the case was done to avoid the cost of a court battle that could have ultimately cost taxpayers much more.

The Sun reports on the magnitude of the settlement: Since 2011, the city has only paid out sums in excess of $200,000 six times; there were a total of 120 claims made in that period related to alleged police brutality, and the Grays' settlement is just slightly larger than all of those combined.

The family would rather see these six officers fired and indicted on the second degree murder charge.

For you see, Freddie Gray suffered a broken neck. The law didn't act on screams of pain. The law didn't think his life mattered.

This death sparked a few days of unrest in Baltimore.

The impact caused the racist right to develop the notion that Democrats advocate for racial unrest.

The left also called to question Republicans failed leadership and their negative influence on equal treatment of suspects.

Many in the Black Lives Matter movement argue that criminals are often treated differently based on race.

Freddie Gray, Walter Scott, Sandra Bland, Taylor Christian, Sam DuBose, Michael Brown, John Crawford, Tamir Rice and many others suffered death at the hands of law enforcement.

Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland's death while in police custody calls into question how those in the lockup ignore injuries of those in detainment.

Baltimore is well on pace to having over 300 gun related deaths this year alone. The problem isn't the Black people, the law or lawmakers. The problem is access to firerarms. The state has lax gun laws that give owners the opportunity to use them in criminal acts. It's not a partisan issue, but a polarizing issue for gun control or strict background checks.

Gun crime is the biggest threat in America. NO ONE IN WASHINGTON BELIEVES THAT!

That's why we're seeing so many events like this happening.

Dennis Greene Passed Away!

The doo wop group The Sha Na Na's have been a dominant force in the late 1960s to now.

A member of the group who has ties to my community passed away over the weekend. World News Today send our condolences to the family of Dennis Greene.

Born as Frederick Greene, he was an American singer who was a member of Sha Na Na who were formed in 1969 at Columbia University in New York as the Columbia Kingsmen. The name change to Sha Na Na occurred because of another group with a similar name, which was known for the song Louie Louie.

The Sha Na Na

The television show Sha Na Na aired from 1978 to 1981. Greene choreographed most of the moves for the show, on which he was known simply as Denny. Denny was portrayed in the series as the most intelligent member of Sha Na Na. He sang lead in the song "Tears on My Pillow" when he appeared with Sha Na Na in the movie Grease, in 1978.


He was born in New York City and took up studies in legal affairs. On the sidelines he was the principle member of the group.

Greene graduated from Yale Law School, he worked as Vice President of Production and Features at Columbia Pictures. Following that, he was President at Lenox/Greene films. He has taught at Florida A&M University and the University of Oregon, as well as being a visiting professor at several other universities including Ohio State University, Seton Hall University, and the University of Connecticut.

Greene also served on the board of directors for the Society of American Law Teachers and is listed in Who's Who Among African-Americans.

From December 2007 until his death, Greene was a Professor of Law at the University of Dayton School of Law, teaching classes such as Torts, Entertainment Law, and Constitutional Law.

Greene died in Columbus, Ohio on September 5, 2015.

Demoted!

Demoted to Sundays.

I don't often talk too much about what's going on over at MSNBC but you're aware that a face that many conservatives hate is being demoted to Sunday mornings.

Rev. Al Sharpton loses his 6pm weekday spot. Friday was the last airing of Politicsnation with Al Sharpton. Sharpton had on many guests and talked about issues facing the African American community and of course Washington.

Starting in October, the agitator will land on Sunday mornings before Melissa Harris-Perry.

This comes as a huge shake up for the struggling liberal-leaning network.

Matter of fact, Mediaite was correct on its predictions of shows people hate to view. I guess Sharpton's program was hard to stomach. His biggest problem was pronouncing names of his guest.

He often has trouble saying the names of the guest or places. He admits to having a stuttering problem.

Keenan Thompson of SNL often mocked the civil rights leader for his inept debates with liberal and conservative guests. Mediaite ranked Politicsnation third worst news shows on cable. The leading shows for worst were Rowan Farrow Now and that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity.

Hannity's program is the worst cable news show. He was demoted last year and ranked the worst cable news host to ever have a show.

MSNBC decided to air live news coverage to lessen the partisan rancor.

This is a jab at that network they've often share a bitter rivalry with.

It was bound to happened though. Many people felt that MSNBC is trying to avoid being labeled as the Barack Obama Network. As you know, many of the agitators on the primetime have been critical of the president and Hillary Clinton. Even though it's not like the rival over at the Avenue of Americas, many liberal AM agitators are starting to notice the shift.

This along with the cancellation of The Cycle, Rowan Farrow, Now With Alex Wagner, Joy Ann-Reid, and The Ed Show marks a new era in the way MSNBC covers news.

Ed Schultz gave up his AM agitator spot for MSNBC.

Now he's returned to the airwaves through a podcast. He can't get a syndication to broadcast his show. MSNBC probably "blackballed" his career.

No word on what's going to fill the spots. But likely the demoted Brian Williams will handle 3pm-7pm slot for the time being.

Williams lost the NBC Nightly News spot after he lied about personal stories shared in his news reporting. Lester Holt became the full time host and Williams got shafted to MSNBC.

Williams is on thin ice with NBC.

For long, many conservatives hated Sharpton. They look at him as a "race hustla" and "swindler".

They were outraged that he got a news program.

I am guessing now they're happy knowing a sworn enemy to their cause is put on the back burner.

Matter of fact, he's on Sunday mornings at 8am. You know that's a time when people are either at work, church, or sleeping in. Who's got the time to see a bombastic liberal agitator?

I am waiting on the cannon firing of Sean Hannity. It's coming soon. I feel it in my bones.

Fox Declares War On Black Lives Matter!

Douche Brian Kilmeade and controversial Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke on that network bashing Black Lives Matter. The chyron calls it a "murder movement".

So that network had a Black police chief, a Black pastor, a Black grandmother, a Black talk radio agitator, a Black blogger and now a Black Marine on their programs to discuss Black Lives Matter.

Each of these figures had nothing but criticism towards the group. All of them claiming that Black Lives Matter doesn't give two fucks about police officers and Black-on-Whatever crime.

This systematic attack created by the network to generate the notion that a relativity peaceful group is encouraging anti-police violence.

In the wake of two high profile police shootings, the junk food media has done their best to paint one individual (i.e. the Black suspect) as a representative of Black Lives Matter.

The conservative agitators have decided to make Black Lives Matter a target of the outrage.

You heard the first shots fired by Elisabeth Hasselbeck, right?

She called Black Lives Matter a hate group.

What about Bill O'Reilly?

He said that he vows to take down the group and he will send his lackey Jesse Watters to infiltrate the protests.

And of course, Megyn Kelly and that annoying conservative agitator that follows after her.

They had on Peggy Hubbard, a pro-police activist who made a video slamming the group.. They had on Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke who said the group is nothing but a farce. They had on Jesse Lee Peterson, a Black extremist who attacks Black leaders. They had on David Webb who ran up on protesters trying to question them about rioting and looting. They had on Kevin Jackson, a black talk radio host who openly called DeRay McKesson a "race pimp". They had on Deneen Borelli, a blogger who openly said that President Barack Obama is the "Hip-Hop Commander and Chief".

My question to those reading?

Will Black Lives Matter answer back?

Are they going to allow that network devote its time to painting the whole group as violent extremists?

I mean this is the type of campaign that destroyed Occupy Wall Street. When people were upset over income inequality and corporate greed, activists created the movement.

Occupy Wall Street has been active through 2010-11. When people were protesting at parks, the junk food media was covering it. That network tarred the Occupy Wall Street protesters as unwashed rapists and no job having bums.

That network is working overtime to tie Black Lives Matter to the Democratic Party. The DNC formally acknowledged the plight of the group. That network is now working on calling the Democrats and President Barack Obama, anti-cop supporters.

I guess we can label that network as a "hate group". All is fair in the partisan blame game! Isn't that right Elisabeth?

Michael Riley, Jr. Dies From Brain Eating Parasite!

A parasite killed a young prospect.

A young athlete loses his life to a parasite that managed to eat his brain.

He and his friend were jogging through a suburban Houston park, when he decided to go into the pond near the trail. He jumped into the water. He came out fine. But a few days later, he got very ill.

This 14 year old athlete Michael John Riley Jr. died 17 days after he contracted primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) while swimming in a freshwater lake at Huntsville State Park. Michael's family wrote on Facebook that the three-time junior Olympian "fought a courageous fight over the past week, allowing him to move on to be with the Lord for future heavenly tasks, a beautiful set of wings, and a pair of gold running shoes."

PAM is caused by the Naegleria fowleri amoeba. "They get water up their nose with those organisms in there," an epidemiologist told the Chronicle. "They start invading the nasal tissues. They basically go all the way to the brain and you get a brain infection." Experts advise against allowing warm, still water—found in lakes, ponds, and pools—to go up one's nose to decrease the chance of infection. Symptoms include headache, fever, nausea, stiff neck, and seizures, according to the CDC.

It's an unfortunate circumstance.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Michael Riley, Jr.

Amelia Boynton Robinson Passed Away!

Amelia Boynton Robinson passed away.

With great sadness we've heard that Amelia Boynton Robinson passed away at the age of 104.

Amelia fought for Civil Rights during the turbulent times of the 1960s. She was a key figure of the Selma to Montgomery march. She and John Lewis suffered a beat down by the White bigots who tried to silence their peaceful march.

Amelia Boynton Robinson was an American activist who was a leader of the American Civil Rights Movement.

Amelia was among those beaten during the voting rights march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, in March 1965 that became known as "Bloody Sunday." State troopers teargased and clubbed the marchers as they tried to cross the bridge. A newspaper photo showing Boynton Robinson, who had been beaten unconscious, drew wide attention to the movement.

Fifty years later, Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States, pushed her across the span in a wheelchair during a commemoration.

Amelia who was hospitalized in July after having a major stroke, turned 104 on Aug. 18. Her son said she had been living in Tuskegee and was hospitalized in Montgomery. Boynton Robinson's family said in a written statement that she was surrounded by relatives and friends when she died around 2:20 a.m.

Selma this year. President Barack Obama holds hands with Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and Amelia Boynton Robinson.

In January, Boynton Robinson attended the State of the Union address as a special guest of Democratic Alabama Rep. Terri Sewell, who said Boynton's 1964 run for Congress paved the way for her. Sewell is Alabama's first elected black congresswoman. Boynton was the first woman to run on a Democratic ticket in Alabama and the first black woman to run for Congress in the state, according to the Encyclopedia of Alabama.

"Mrs. Boynton Robinson suffered grave injustices on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma at the hands of state troopers on Bloody Sunday, yet she refused to be intimidated," Sewell said in January. "She marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, my colleague Rep. John Lewis and thousands of others from Selma to Montgomery and ultimately witnessed the day when their work led to the passage of the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965."

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Amelia Boynton Robinson. You are a hero to the movement for change. You fought for me to be here.

Marcy Borders Passed Away!

The iconic photo of the dusty lady. Marcy Borders didn't know she was filmed. It was confirmed by her family that Marcy died of cancer.

The iconic picture of a Black woman covered head to toe with dust from the horrific tragedy on September 11, 2001 passed away from stomach cancer.

Marcy Borders who became a groundbreaking image of the horrors of that day.

She was on her way to her job at the World Trade Center when reports of an explosion at the North Tower. Like most people at the WTC, not many people were aware of the event. Some didn't expect it to happen that fast. The second plane would crash into the South Tower.

Marcy was working at the tower.

She managed to escape the horror.

Marcy tried to overcome the fear. 

Marcy was a 28-year-old Bank of America worker when the photograph of her staring into the lens with her eyes asquint and her mouth agape was taken. Marcy, who came to be known around the world as “dust lady”, died on Monday at the age of 42 after a year-long battle with stomach cancer that she blamed on dust inhaled during the attack.

“I can’t believe my sister is gone,” Michael Borders wrote of his sibling on Facebook. Borders’ cousin John Borde added that she was a “hero” and she “unfortunately succumbed to the diseases that have ridden her body since 9/11”.

“In addition to losing so many friends, coworkers, and colleagues on and after that tragic day ... the pain from yesteryear has found a way to resurface,” he said.

Marcy had no idea she had been photographed until her mother called to say she had seen the picture. The image remained an emblem of the problems that continued to trouble her after the attacks.

The Guardian reports that Marcy was struggling since the event. She turned to drugs and had severe paranoia.

She battled severe depression and became addicted to crack cocaine. “I didn’t do a day’s work in nearly 10 years, and by 2011 I was a complete mess,” she said. “I was convinced Osama bin Laden was planning more attacks. Every time I saw an aircraft, I panicked. If I saw a man on a building, I was convinced he was going to shoot me.”

After losing custody of her two children, Borders checked into rehab in April 2011 and remained sober. She announced that she’d been diagnosed with stomach cancer and had undergone chemotherapy last summer. She was scheduled to undergo further surgery, radiation and chemotherapy in December.

Her daughter, Noelle, told the New York Post her mother “fought an amazing battle”.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Marcy Borders.

White Lies Between Black Lives Matter!

Activist getting his Black card revoked.

I must admit that White people are nosy ass people. Their curiosity is what brings them trouble.

They can't stay out of other people's business. When White folks are involved in personal matters, they always want to know. White folks like nosing into a person's home, a person's car and person's private life.

They seem invested in trying to destroy other people's lives for the sake of proving points. Even if there are some White folks aiming to do good for the world, other White folks call them traitors because they support Blacks and Hispanics over their own race.

The racist right are making accusations against an activist who they claim is faking the funk.

Shaun King is being tossed into the Rachel Dolezal blender. The Black Lives Matter activist is being accused of being a White man. Matter of fact, the conservative agitators have "proof".

The folks over a Breitbart and GotNews have the evidence and they're trying to shame the activist.

Shaun claims to be biracial to a Black father and White mother. He said that he was bullied in them days as a youth in Versailles, Kentucky.

Shaun was a featured player in the junk food media. He made concerns about police brutality and the junk food media's negative portrayal of unarmed Black suspects.

Breitbart got tipped off by an investigative blogger who unearthed his past.  Breitbart claims to have unearthed King’s birth certificate from Sept. 17, 1979 and he's White according to the birth certificate.

The woman known as Vicki Pate is going all out in exposing Shaun King as "white guy".

Her website Re-Newsit is devoted to exposing Shaun as an opportunist. She wrote that Shaun would lie his way to a prestigious Black college. He lied about his race to obtain an Oprah Winfrey scholarship.

The now deleted tweet from his social media. He admits that he lied about his past.

As usual the racist right is devoted to "trolling" King and DeRay McKesson. They have been most active in the movement and they've been extremely outspoken about it.

Some of Shaun's supporters are coming to his aid. They dismiss the criticism as an attempt to discredit the Black Lives Matter group.

Unfortunately,  it seems that several groups on the Internet are spreading lies about an event that happened at my high...
Posted by Shea Gold on Wednesday, August 19, 2015

Of course, Shaun isn't concerned about the matter He is not concerned about agitator's and the noise they made. He left comments to his press secretary.

Been w/ my wife for 20 years Painful that it's come to this, but here are her words Love u https://t.co/MECW7bNfOL pic.twitter.com/rmRfgu6T6O

— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) August 20, 2015

He stands by his story about being born to a Black father and White mother. He doesn't know of Jeffery, the father who the conservatives claim is the father of Shaun. Jeffery is a White guy, by the way.

The racist right believes that Black Lives Matter is a front group. They already label the group as a bunch of thugs and misguided Black folks. The concern trolls would often bring up the scourge of Black-on-Whatever crime.

It doesn't matter if Shaun is Black, biracial, White or whatever. The point is that he's involved in trying to bring the narrative of police brutality and the slandering of victims to light.

I will discuss the controversial sheriff for Milwaukee County, David Clarke, Jr. He is the Black guy that conservatives fawn over. He's one of the examples of coon buffoonery. He already zeroed on the Black Lives Movement and taken the stance of believing that this movement is equivalent to "the Klan".

Emma Didlake Passed Away!

President Barack Obama thanks Emma for her service.

A month after meeting President Barack Obama, Emma Didlake, passed away. Born in Alabama, grew up in Detroit, Emma served in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) during World War II. She served stateside for about seven months during the war, as a private and driver.

Emma Didlake died Sunday in West Bloomfield, northwest of Detroit, according to the Oakland County medical examiner's office. She was considered one of the oldest veterans at the time living.

She passed away at 110 years old. World News Today send our condolences to the family of Emma Didlake.

Didlake was a 38-year-old wife and mother of five when she signed up in 1943 for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. She served about seven months stateside during the war, as a private and driver.

She spent time with the president in July during a trip to Washington that was arranged by Talons Out Honor Flight, a southwest Michigan chapter of a national nonprofit that provides free, one-day trips for veterans to visit monuments and memorials in the nation's capital.

"Emma Didlake served her country with distinction and honor, a true trailblazer for generations of Americans who have sacrificed so much for their country," Obama said Monday afternoon in a statement. "I was humbled and grateful to welcome Emma to the White House last month, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to Emma's family, friends, and everyone she inspired over her long and quintessentially American life."

Emma was born in Alabama and moved with her family to Detroit in 1944. She was known to her family as "Big Mama" and recently moved to an assisted living family in suburban Detroit.

She was deemed the oldest U.S. veteran based on information gleaned by Honor Flight representatives through national outreach campaigns.

Granddaughter Marilyn Horne told The Associated Press last month that when Talons Out officials presented her grandmother with a short-sleeved shirt bearing the group's logo to wear on the trip to Washington, Didlake took a look and said: "'I don't have Michelle Obama arms — I'm going to need a jacket.'"

During her visit to the White House, Didlake wore a patriotic-themed neck scarf and sat in her wheelchair in the same spot in the Oval Office where foreign leaders sit when they meet with Obama.

Sean Price Passed Away!

Sean Price passed away last week. 

Old school hip-hop paved the way for the mainstream acts. Unfortunately some don't get the recognition of the mainstream CHR radio stations.

Sean Price, a member of the Boot Camp Clik passed away over the past week.  World News Today send our condolences to the family of Sean Price.

I didn't get an opportunity to dedicate a post to the legendary rapper.

He was also a member of Heltah Skeltah.

Sean died on August 8 at the age of 43. Details surrounding his death are unknown at the time. But the family and reps for Duck Down Records have confirmed that his passing was a tragedy.

He died in his sleep. He was residing in his hometown of Brooklyn and the death touched the hip-hop community.

He was survived by his wife and three children. He converted to Sunni Muslim in 2009.

About ten years ago, Sean released his first debut album Monkey Barz on the underground music scene. He would also release Jesus Price Superstar and Mic Tyson in the following years.

As a member of Heltah Skeltah the group released Nocturnal, Magnum Force and D.I.R.T..

And as a member of the Boot Camp Clik, Sean collaborated with the group on four albums. The albums For The People, The Chosen Few, The Last Stand and Casualties of War.

Duck Down Music is a music label that was founded by Drew "Dru-Ha" Friedman and Kenyatta "Buckshot" Blake. The label specialized in releasing underground hip-hop music.

Sean was signed to the label since its founding.

Melissa Gilbert Vows To Beat An Insurgent Lawmaker!

Melissa Gilbert considering a bid for Congress.

Another entertainer is testing the waters. Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) and Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) are successful entertainers who became Washington lawmakers. Who knows? Could it happen again?

Actress Melissa Gilbert has announced that she will run for U.S. Congress as a Democrat against insurgent Rep. Mike Bishop (R-MI).

Gilbert is formerly a child actress who appeared on the hit drama Little House on The Pierre. 

Gilbert wants to help the middle class and become a champion for women's rights. 

"I’m running for Congress to make life a little easier for all the families who feel they have fallen through the cracks in today’s economy," she wrote on her campaign website. "I believe building a new economy is a team effort, and we need to bring fresh voices to the table to get the job done."

Gilbert, 51, who is "particularly attuned to issues confronting women, children and families," according to a press release from the Democratic Party, will be running against against the incumbent, Republican Mike Bishop. The actress lives in Livingston County with her husband of two years, actor and Michigan native Timothy Busfield.

Like with Donald Trump, many entertainers are frustrated with the lawmakers in Washington.

The grassroots motivation by the Tea Party (referred as the insurgency) and Black Lives Matter (referred as the New Black Power Movement) have clashed often times. Many established lawmakers can't control this. 

It's likely due to President Barack Obama's grassroots motivation. Obama was once a community organizer who made campaigning interesting. He managed to supercharge his bid by connecting through social media. Republicans sought the same formula that helped them win Congress in 2014. 

The Republicans have done grassroots organization in 2014 to send nine senate Democrats home. 

Rep. Mike Bishop (R-MI) welcomes a challenge.

Since 2015, Republicans have struggled to find the message. The conservatives pressure for stronger pushback. The moderates and independents pressure for compromise and slow walkback. 

The Democrats have no strong message either. They are still reeling from their defeat. Their defeat has made it clear. No matter what they tell the public, it's not enough.

President Barack Obama's job approval is stalled at 48%. It's not helpful to the Democrats who fear losing three more competitive Senate seats.

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and retiring Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid's (D-NV) seat are going to be the most vulnerable.

Democrats are struggling. Would Gilbert's run prove to be another disaster in the making?

Bishop is a freshman lawmaker who replaced Mike Rogers. Rogers is now a conservative agitator on AM radio. Bishop was the former State Majority Leader from 2002 to 2010.

The 8th Congressional District is R+2 which is considered a politically lean Republican district. It's going to possibly be a competitive district if the Democrats mount a strong offense.

Bishop will mount a strong defense. Obviously he is going to label her a "Hollywood Elitist Liberal" and the like. He'll have a friend with him willing to do his dirty work.

Any thoughts on the matter? 

Mickey Guyton Is Becoming A Big Name In Country Music!

When you hear Better Than You Left Me, you think who is the singer of this beautiful country song?

Well, there's a young Black woman named Mickey Guyton, and her star is rising.

Mickey Guyton (born Candace Mycale Guyton) started her signing career in the church. In her younger days, she wanted to be a gospel singer. But something got her attention. The sounds of country drew her in.

Mickey grew up listening to a variety of artists, including Dolly Parton, LeAnn Rimes, Whitney Houston and gospel innovators BeBe and CeCe Winans. “Those were huge influences,” she says, recalling a particularly pivotal moment. “I was at a Texas Rangers baseball game and LeAnn Rimes was singing the National Anthem. This was right when she came out with ‘Blue’. I was completely mesmerized.”

She would embrace country music and found her heart.

Mickey got a deal with Capitol Records Nashville. It got her the exposure.

She got an opportunity to perform at the White House in 2011 with James Taylor, Dierks Bentley, Kris Kristofferson, The Band Perry, Darius Rucker and Lyle Lovett.

Mickey has been the opening act for Eric Church, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton and many others.

What was remarkable about her is that lovely voice. Her voice hypnotizes me. I got an opportunity to listen to her hit single. I am very impressed with her song. I am a fan.

She is one of the very few Black country music singers. Matter of fact, she is one of the few women of color to embrace a musical genre that usually targets White people.

Gayle King of CBS This Morning had an opportunity to interview her.

World News Today wishes Mickey well on her journey.

Family Feud At The Bobbi Kristina Funeral!

Bobbi Kristina was laid to rest over the weekend. Her family got into a heated feud.

The Houston and Brown family pay their last respects to the celebrity agitator Bobbi Kristina Brown.

Her funeral was held in suburban Atlanta. The family decided to have her buried next to her mother, the late pop singer Whitney Houston.

Bobbi Kristina will be buried with her mom.

Brown died in hospice care July 26, six months after being found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her suburban Atlanta home. She never regained consciousness after the incident, and her months of medical care exposed family rifts that never seemed to heal.

Brown's partner Nick Gordon, who discovered her in the bathtub, repeatedly said on social media that he was not allowed to see her in the hospital. Entertainment Tonight and People magazine reported Gordon was absent from the funeral.

In June, a civil lawsuit was filed against Gordon in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, alleging that he accessed Brown's bank accounts and stole more than $11,000.

But the funeral didn't go peacefully as many would have thought.

CNN reports that there were also reports the family was fighting over her care, though Bobby Brown said in June the family was working together on his daughter's behalf.

The family drama continued even at the funeral. In the middle of the service, Brown's aunt, Leolah Brown, walked over to the media gathered outside the church and said she had just been kicked out for shouting at Pat Houston, Whitney's sister-in-law.

"It went wonderful until Pat started speaking, and I didn't like that," Leolah Brown said.

Whatever dispute the two women have "is going to be a long, drawn-out thing," Brown promised. "Trust me. It's not over."

Bobbi Kristina Brown's body will be flown to New Jersey, where a private burial is scheduled for Monday next to her mother's grave, CNN affiliate WSB reported.

Marine Catches Wife With Their Best Friend!

Marine catches his wife cheating. He shames her on social media.

I feel you man! I had a woman cheat on me and it was a painful experience. I have feelings for a young woman who comes into my job a lot. But I am still stuck in the mode where it's hard to trust people. So I'll be patient and when I'm ready, I'll pull. But in the meantime, we'll keep it cordial. 

I have to give it to Brian May. He keeps a cool head as he films his wife on the toilet with another man pecking her on the check. 

This man was the neighbor and it was pretty damn embarrassing. 

Brian, who served five years in the United States Marine Corps before being honorably discharged, he returned home to Hawaii to find himself peeping another vehicle in the driveway.

So in order to catch some crazy stuff going on in his home, he whips out the camera phone and quietly enters the house.

As he passes his daughter, she is on the computer watching cartoons. She yells for her daddy, as he quickly rushes up the stairs. As he opens up his bedroom door, he heads to the master bathroom.

He sees his wife naked with a guy watching her take a dump. He was caught pecking her on the check.

Just when you thought this Marine was going to serve him up a five finger roll with curbside toe jam side order, Brian calmly told the dude to get the fuck out of his home. He told the wife, "You're busted, buddy". In other words, "You're fucked!"

Brian posted on the social media his thoughts on the matter. 

I flew in and took a taxi to my house. First thing I notice is that there is an unfamiliar vehicle in my driveway and none of my vehicles are there. I go inside and start recording and immediately notice my 3 year old daughter down stairs, alone, watching a show on the computer. I go upstairs and into my on suite bathroom and find a man leaning over kissing my wife who is naked and drunk on the toilet. I escort him out, being very careful not to be violent toward him and he literally runs away! I tell my wife that I’m going to her command with the video as adultery is against the uniform code of military justice for people in the armed forces.

He said that his wife is in the armed forces. He threatened to tell her superiors with this. Will he stand by his word? 

Obviously, he posted on social media to shame her. It's likely its a done deal.

The story, per May’s GoFundMe page, becomes more and more complex. He alleges that, based on evidence found throughout the Hawaii house and from discussions with neighbors, his wife would often throw alcohol-fueled parties and neglect their daughter. Meanwhile, she has apparently been pursuing legal action against May since just after he left for Florida.

An update on Thursday suggests that Brian's wife, her lover, and an associated Staff Non-Commissioned Officer (SNCO) allege Brian is “psychotic,” “abusive” and cannot be trusted with her, their daughter, or himself. Brian, however, denies these claims.

"You're Busted, Buddy" is a nod to Brian Bates, The Video Vigilante (JohnTV). You can catch him on YouTube and Vine.

I feel sorry for them all. Love has no bounds. I kind of wish him well on his journey. It's hard to deal with a spouse cheating on you. I mean it's really heartbreaking. 

Sad reality.

Tensing Needs $1M Get Out Free Card!

Tensing in court. Being held on a $1 million get out free card.

Ray Tensing the former University of Cincinnati police officer who is indicted in the murder of unarmed motorist Sam DuBose appeared in court today. The get out free card is $1 million to get out of the iron college.

This controversy is getting major news attention.

Tensing a year on the UC police force stopped Sam for a missing front plate.

Prosecutor Joe Deters threw the book at him. He said that the evidence clearly shows that Tensing violated policy and deliberately lied about how this event happened.

Tensing ran with this story that Sam tried to drag him with the vehicle. Even two other officers claimed this event occurred. What Deters saw was a reckless call and a callous murder of a motorist.

For what, a missing front plate...seriously!

Deters said that Tensing had no business ever being a cop.....Ouch!

In the Hamilton County Ohio Court, the judge was none to kind to him. She ordered him to remain in lockup and have no contact with the family. Of course as the bond and holding was read, some in the courtroom disrupted the hearing. The judge was not kind to them as well.

A loud applause came when the bond was placed. The judge Megan Shanahan wasn't amused by the reaction. She told those in court to fly right or have a court date for contempt.

Who is the suspect here?

Tensing plead not guilty. He will have another court date in August. He is innocent until proven guilty.

Okay, DeRay McKesson is watching this and noticed something about the junk food media's portrayal of the suspect and the victim.

He saw that they ran the mugshot of Sam and uniformed Tensing. The images are to make you believe that Sam was the aggressor and Tensing was the officer protecting himself. The junk food media is getting blasted by the image posted above.

This stuff is common among the racist right. Now I can assure you that it's probably an editor's mistake but way too often they want to take the most offensive pictures of Black victims and run them.

Murder Charges For University Of Cincinnati Cop Who Bucked Sam DuBose! [NSFW]

This is the part where it got graphic. Ray Tensing, ex-cop for the University of Cincinnati will have a day in court. He was indicted on murder and involuntary manslaughter charges. Sam DuBose wasn't a threat. He was a victim.

The Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters has thrown the hammer at a University of Cincinnati police officer who used his service weapon on Sam DuBose.

Me and S. Baldwin have followed the developments in Cincinnati.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Samuel DuBose.

The law put the cuffs on ex-officer Raymond Tensing, 25. He was immediately fired out the cannon once the law determined he lied on his report about the confrontation with Sam DuBose, 43 year old father of 12. The stop was caused by a front place missing. The officer claimed that Sam threw the vehicle in high gear with his arm in the window. He used the service weapon to stop him. He put a slug in his head and Sam died immediately from lead.

Tensing a White cop stopped a Black motorist for a petty offense.

Tensing was nothing but a rookie according to Deters. He even went as far to say that Tensing had no business ever wearing a badge. Tensing was four years with Green Hills and one year with UC.

That means that the evidence on his body camera and dash camera showed something totally different than what he put in his report.

Ray Tensing got a day in court.

The video captured the firing of the service weapon.

According to Tensing, Sam was drunk and offered him a six pack. That would have been the racist right's talking point if the case turned out to be in favor of the law. Tensing claimed that Sam couldn't pull out a license and had a struggle with him. The two struggled for the door. He had no choice but to give a lead sandwich.

What really happened was a routine pull over. It was a calm exchange between Sam and Tensing.

No threats, no physical altercation, no belligerent or aggressive behavior towards Tensing.

Sam explained to Tensing that he was driving his wife's car. He had a closed bottle of gin. He asked why he had to get out the car. Tensing grabbed the door and told him to exit the vehicle. Sam holds the door back and rev up the vehicle. That's when Tensing decided to put the lead in the head of Sam. The vehicle moved only after the lead when into Sam's head. Tensing concocted this story of an aggressive drunk who tried to peel off with his hand in the window.

The University of Cincinnati chief Jason Goodrich let the cannon fire after he and Deters reviewed the video.

Tensing is innocent until proven guilty in this. If found guilty, this ex-cop will get LIFE in the iron college.

Wondering whether the conservative agitators will take the side of Tensing? Of course.

This is the first time in Cincinnati history that an officer got cuffed. The unfortunate circumstances of a cop who felt "threatened" because he saw a Black guy with a nice ride.

A cop who automatically assumed guilt before innocence.

We will keep you updated with anything that comes in this controversy.

Texas State Patrol Puts One In The Freezer!

Texas Rangers already punching holes into state trooper's claim that Sandra Bland put up a fight.

The Sandra Bland controversy has reached the Texas Department of Safety. The higher ups decided to put the Texas State Patrol officers involved in the arrest of Sandra in the freezer. They are on desk duty pending a state investigation into how a simple pull over resulted in her arrest. That arrest took her to Waller County lockup.

The dash camera disputes the report that the troopers sent to their superiors.

The trooper pulled Sandra over for a taillight violation. Okay the trooper gave her a warning for the taillight (turn signal).

Sandra pulls out a square and lights it up. Of course, the officer felt disrespected by her just ignoring his comments. So he orders her out the vehicle. She questions the order. She whips out the camera phone and starts recording.

Of course that's when the officer and his partner forced the door open and grabbed Sandra out the vehicle and a witness would whip out his camera phone. He starts recording. She is heard in the background screaming that they slammed her head to the ground. She told the officers that she didn't have to be brutal on her. She thanked the witness for filming this.

As she was booked into the Waller lockup. She was charged with battery on an officer. She would have a day in court. So during them 48 hours, she was normal. But after a morning check, they would find her not breathing.

The Harris Count bag 'em ups said that she may have died of a hanging, The family didn't buy this shit and ordered an independent bag 'em to work on this. The FBI and Texas Rangers are looking into the improper training of the staffers of the lockup.

The lockup didn't have proper training and a failure of checking interns (especially potentially suicidal).

Again, I've said it too many times. The law can lie when they justify a pull over. They can lie when they issue citations, dispatch assistance, fire their service weapon, use force in arrest and tell the media that the suspect "engaged in the behavior".

Now Sandra Bland was a part of the BlackLivesMatter movement. This movement is sparked by the numerous events where unarmed Black suspects are killed by law enforcement or a vigilante. The BlackLivesMatter movement is sparked by the junk food media's negative portrayals of Black unarmed suspects.

The junk food media made Trayvon Martin. Michael Brown and now Sandra Bland look like criminals.

Already some conservative agitators are trying to point out that Sandra suffered from post traumatic stress disorder. On one of her videos posted on social media, she admitted to supporters that sometimes she has PTSD and it's dragged on.

Yeah, everyone gets PTSD. I have it sometimes. It doesn't make me want to kill myself or harm others.

Her family already dismissed the suicidal stuff.

This controversy will be covered by me and S. Baldwin. World News Today continues to seek justice for Sandra Bland and every other individual killed by the reckless actions of some in law enforcement.

Kindra Chapman's Death In Police Custody Sparks More Concern!

Kindra Chapman (right) was busted for taking a person's cell phone. Once she got put in the lockup she ends up dead. Now people are talking and they're starting a new hashtag #IfIDieInPoliceCustody

For theft charge 18-year old Kindra Chapman got a few nights in an Alabama lockup.

After a few hours in the lockup, she would be dead. Now the internet is lit up over her death.

What started off as a first-degree robbery charge ended like this. Sounds similar to the death of Sandra Bland who died in a Texas lockup.

Authorities put Kindra in lockup after she took a person's phone. Officers in the town of Homewood say that she was found unresponsive with a bed sheet tied around her neck.

What will the racist right paint Kindra as? I mean giving the bird isn't a crime, but to the racist right it is!

Kindra was interned into the lockup around 6:00pm and was found dead around 8:00pm.

Now the hashtag #IfIDieInPoliceCustody is picking up steam on the social media.

The Alabama state attorney hasn't commented on this situation but I will assure you that me and S. Baldwin will talk about it.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Kindra Chapman and Sandra Bland.

Residents Call For A Cannon Firing Of Racist Washington State Mayor!

This ugly man is a politician from Washington. He went to the social media to call President Barack Obama and his family a bunch of gorillas. Now his time in office may be shorter than his fucked up hairline.

The ugly comparisons to monkeys is something that extremists use to describe Black people.

The Tumblr blog Racist Get Fired does a great deal of putting these social media twats in the spotlight.

A mayor from Airway Heights is already facing calls for his cannon firing. He was on the social media calling President Barack Obama a "monkey man" and First Lady Michelle Obama, an ugly gorilla.

Okay, this Frankenstein looking creature is Patrick Rushing, the mayor of Airway Heights a small town that's a few miles from Spokane, Washington.

This is the area where Rachel Dolezal was then NAACP president was bounced after her family exposed her as a White woman. Dolezal was pretending to be Black and was force to resign after pressure came from her supporters.

Infamous LAPD cop Mark Furhman lives near Airway Heights.

No surprise it was Facebook where this politician posted his remarks.

"Gorilla face Michelle, can't disagree with that," Rushing, reportedly wrote in a Facebook post. "The woman is not attractive except to monkey man Barack. Check out them ears. LOL."

The posting went viral and the town is none to happy with him, And as defiant as he is, he just basically told the junk food media that he's joking. He's not resigning.

This is how I see Rushing responding to this controversy. "If you can't laugh at my postings, that's your problem. I'm sorry I got caught. It's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!"

Cue the definition of irony.

The local junk food media looked down his now deleted Facebook page and saw a dozen of postings about the president and First Lady Michelle Obama.

Some are calling for a good ol' fashion hanging for treason. That right there may earn him a visit from the Seattle bureau of the U.S. Secret Service.

He also made some offensive remarks about perennial candidate Hillary Clinton, Rev. Perm, Oprah Winfrey, gays, immigrants and Black people.

Yeah, Airway Heights is a population of 6,500 with an 80% White population with a 20% non-White population. Out of that 20% of non-White population, 7% of the residents are Black.

The mayor also faced some heat over his driving record. He was responsible for a hit-skip while operating a school bus. I wonder what he was listening to while he was driving that bus?

Again, what you do in the comfort of your home could come back to haunt you! Once you post something racist or offensive online, its there forever. You best believe that the social media agitators can turn a simple complaint into an all out viral sensation. Expect the person who posted to social media to immediately apologize. They claim that "they're never _________" or they have a few friends who could be Black, Muslim, gay or an immigrant.

Mayor concern troll.

With this polarizing junk food media and it's ongoing obsession to chase a shiny coin, you get people who are extremely passionate about issues.

Race, gender sexuality, religion, nationality, political, social and economic standings are often landmines for the concern trolls. The concern troll will use the "well you know" nonsense.

Say if a Black person was killed by law enforcement and he was unarmed. These events are becoming often talked about in the junk food media. The concern troll will find some other tangent.

Say if there was a local story about a White man being beaten by a Black man. Automatically a racial issue. The criminal targeted a White man despite not even knowing him. Even if it was a random act of violence, the concern trolls will bring race into it.

Give 'em a rope!

They used the Charleston incident to bring up the death of Kate Steinle being shot and killed by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez. They used the death of Sandra Bland to bring up the incident where Chris McKnight was beaten brutally by a Black man. They used the incident where Esmeralda Rossi being arrested in her own home to bring up the incident where Mohammad Youseff Abdulazzez killing four Marines.

No one is perfect. We're all human.

Those involved criminal acts are innocent until proven guilty in the court of law, not public opinion. I know that Abdulazzez, Bland and Steinle have passed on. They can't explain to their families what happened.

Kate Steinle died in a gunshot. She can't tell the world what happened.

This is what he thinks of Black America.

Sandra Bland died in police custody. She can't tell the world what happened.

Mohammod Youseff Abdulazzez decided to murder innocent lives before the law put him down. He can't tell the world what happened.

But since we are motivated by the latest events in the world, we engaged in this!

That's why the junk food media relies on you, me, and everyone with a digital camera and a sense of urgency. That's why this gotcha media stuff that drives politicians, agitators in the junk food media and the world to react without knowing the facts.

Now as I conclude this. I want to know how you feel about this guy?
