TAKE DISCRETION IN VIEWING THIS VIDEO.
Two former Marksville, Louisiana police officers are facing murder charges after they fired upon a man's truck killing a six year old boy inside. Norris Greenhouse, Jr. and Derrick Stafford are going to face LIFE or the DEATH card if found guilty in this murder.
They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Jeremy Mardis was the young life lost to this senseless act of violence. His father Chris Few was being chased by the law for an outstanding warrant. It turns out that Few wasn't wanted for skipping court.
Few was upset with his girlfriend at the time and probably didn't notice the lights. Well Greenhouse and Stafford were in pursuit of Few and cornered him in a cul-de-sac.
At some point, the two called for backup and one of the officers turned on his body camera.
Two former cops are held on a $1 million get out of jail free card.
For some unknown reason, the two fired upon 18 shots into Few's vehicle.
Chris Few was struck in the head and chest. He had his hands in the air when he was being detained.
Jeremy was struck five times in the head and chest. He would die immediately of the injuries.
The video being shown is the aftermath of the situation. Greenhouse, 23 and Stafford, 32, were officers with Marksville. Greenhouse served as a secondary reserve for Alexandria.
Stafford was a marshal and police lieutenant for the Marksville police for eight years.
"I'm unemployed. Thanks Niggas!" This is the words of former McKeesport Police officer Melissa Adamson. The former officer was fired out the cannon after she posted on social media the offensive word.
Adamson blamed a former colleague who she probably dated in the past for this.
What she actually posted was the offensive "I'm the law, Nigga!"
A screenshot showing the former officer in uniform with the text was shared on social media.
She lost not only her job at McKeesport but nearby Versailles where she was working as well.
"I'm not a racist. That's not how I plan on portraying myself," said Adamson. "I love my job. I love what I do. It's what I want to do for the rest of my life."
The mayor of McKeesport let her have it.
"As mayor of the city of McKeesport I feel compelled to publicly address an issue that has come to my attention via social media. A past social media post surfaced just a few hours ago involving a recently hired part-time police officer, who has been in training as a probationary employee for just a few weeks. This post displays a degree of conduct and character that is far different from what I would expect from an officer in this city. It is absolutely unacceptable. Without hesitation, my office and the police chief's office immediately concluded that this officer's actions will not be tolerated in the city of McKeesport. She has been relieved of her duties, and her employment has been terminated."
She was wearing the uniform while working at the Pitcairn Police Department. In Pitcairn, the police chief Scott Farally said that the picture was taken earlier this year. She was wearing her uniform with sleeves during the winter months. Had it been brought to his attention while Adamson was still employed with the department, she would have been fired out the cannon.
See that selfie probably cancelled a handful of tickets she issued. Any justifiable arrests of suspects could be tossed out in court because of her. A person can say that Adamson planted evidence to justify an arrest or citation. Given the situation with the police shooting unarmed Black men, her excuses about being "afraid for her life" would be given the benefit of the doubt.
All of her actions made two police departments look bad.
"I'm sorry for who I did offend. It was not my intention. I can't express how sorry I am now for how I made you feel -- emotionally, physically. Again, it wasn't my intention."
Is she sorry for what she done or sorry for being caught?
The White extremists decided that a childhood character would represent their movement.
Pepe The Frog is now a symbol of the professional bigots hiding underneath the bandwidth bridge.
Matt Furie isn't too happy about the memes. The creator of Pepe is furious that the "alt-right" hijacked his character and turned it into something sinister.
The Anti-Defamation League has declared the character a racist, anti-semitic icon of the internet forums.
Donald Trump's presidential campaign has become a beacon of White nationalism. Many of them are hearing Trump's words and they believe that he's the "great White hope".
"Images of the frog, variously portrayed with a Hitler-like mustache, wearing a yarmulke or a Klan hood, have proliferated in recent weeks in hateful messages aimed at Jewish and other users on Twitter," the ADL wrote in a statement. "Once again, racists and haters have taken a popular Internet meme and twisted it for their own purposes of spreading bigotry and harassing users."
President Barack Obama address CNN's Jake Tapper in a town hall with the military.
Now the families of the 9/11 victims could sue the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for damages.
This decision came at the whims of Congress and they were pushing it through without thinking about the repercussions. Now this law could backfire. Many other countries that had been hurt by the United States would sue for damages.
The president first veto ever to be overridden by the Congress in the nearly 8 years of his presidency.
President Barack Obama done a town hall on CNN this week. He had this sit down with Jake Tapper on Wednesday. He was not too happy about the Congress overriding his veto of the 9/11 Saudi Bill.
The Congress overwhelmingly overridden the veto in a bipartisan vote.
"It's an example of why sometimes you have to do what's hard. And, frankly, I wish Congress here had done what's hard," said the president.
"If you're perceived as voting against 9/11 families right before an election, not surprisingly, that's a hard vote for people to take. But it would have been the right thing to do... And it was, you know, basically a 'political vote'."
The president cited his defense team. He said that Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter's concerns as a reason to why he vetoed the bill.
The president said that Saudi Arabia could retaliate against the United States.
The president also addressed the issues in the United States from police brutality, Black Lives Matter and the phrase "radical Islam". He praised Colin Kaepernick for standing up for his beliefs in the face of great scrutiny.
Obama also blasted Congress for pushing bills at the final hour and then heading home for vacations.
Congress passed a stop gap measure that funds the government until December. The Congress also passed Zika funding and a proposals to helping the city of Flint. The Flint water crisis was left off the table and it forced Democrats to filibuster the bill in the senate. The Democrats managed to get some of the funding for Flint into the bill.
The Congress now has to figure out what could happen if a member of the Armed Forces commit an act of war against innocent victims.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) the Majority Whip of the Senate sponsored this bill and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY, Majority Leader) supported it. He managed to get the Democrats onboard. The only member of Congress to reject this was Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), the outgoing minority leader of the senate.
Man dresses like a gorilla to mock Black Lives Matter protesters.
A man was sent to the county lockup after his was intimidating #BlackLivesMatter protesters by handing out bananas and dressing like a gorilla.
Tristan Rettke, a soon-to-be former freshman from East Tennessee State University was busted for intimidation. Rettke was wearing a bag emblazoned with the losing side of the Civil War.
One of the protesters said, "I saw him come down the steps as a gorilla."
Jaylen Grimes said, "He pulled out his burlap sack and then he had the rope and whatnot and then he started offering us bananas. A lot of us didn't take it, but I just took as a sign of peace offering and just to show him that, just because he's being disrespectful toward me, I won't be disrespectful towards him."
East Tennessee State University has launched an internal student-conduct investigation on the man.
They released a statement.
Earlier today during a student-led Black Lives Matter event at Borchuck Plaza, our campus community was outraged by the behavior of one student who confronted the participants. The actions of this one individual go against the values of our university where people come first and all are treated with dignity and respect.
Chimp got chumped.
We are exceptionally proud of the students who were peacefully participating in the event and the manner in which they exercised restraint, thoughtfulness and strength in the face of inappropriate and offensive behavior.
THe ETSU Department of Public Safety staff responded to the incident. At this time, criminal charges are pending before the local district attorney and an internal student-conduct investigation has begun.
Our university values diversity, inclusivity and respect for others. In keeping with those values, there will be an opportunity for community dialogue inside the D.P. Culp Auditorium. University leadership will be present.
The man is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He could face expulsion and a ban from the campus. He could face a hefty fine and community services.
Cop who bucked unarmed man has a file of corruption.
As the San Diego County Police prepare for unrest, the name of the officer who fatally shot Alfred Olango is released. He and the other officer who deployed the Taser were placed in the freezer pending state and federal outcomes.
The city of El Cajon say that the incident will be handled effectively.
The person who filmed the event turned the footage to the police. The El Cajon officers didn't have body cameras.
Olango, an immigrant from Uganda had mental issues said the family. He was acting erratic when his sister called it in. She said that they weren't able to make this a top priority. When people called in a man waving his shirt in the street, they responded to it.
The officers confronted Olango, the ordered him to drop his object. When he failed to comply, the officer shot him five times. He was killed on the scene.
He was holding an e-cigarette device. No weapon was found on him.
The junk food media quick to point out Olango had criminal charges and was at the verge of being deported from the states. They didn't have time to go into the officer's record.
We will.
Richard Gonsalves was the officer who fired on Olango. He has a 20 year history with the police department and his records lies misconduct and utter incompetence.
This officer was once sued for sexually harassing a female officer.
This officer tried to harass Christine Greer with nasty pictures of his genitalia and dirty talk about him plowing her and the woman's wife.
Gonsalves has denied involvement. The issue was settled in court and the officer remained on the payroll.
This officer's history shows that he has no business being on the force.
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.
Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado is in the crosshairs of the right.
No one is perfect. After all, we're human after all. Alicia Machado is a former Miss Universe contestant who became a junk food mdia fascination after Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton name dropped her at the first debate.
In the question of stamina, Donald Trump was caught off guard by Clinton mentioning the name in the last minutes of the debate. Trump had called Machado offensive names.
The debate went to Clinton and the right is dismissing this. They cite online polls as the source of dismissing Clinton debate victory.
Trump is trying to dismiss the model as some loser who couldn't get with the program.
According to Machado, Trump called her Miss Piggy and Ms. Housekeeping.
These comments made by Trump are now sticking to him.
Trump retreated to friendly territory to discuss the situation with Machado.
He would say that he didn't tolerate the model gaining weight and he helped her lose it by getting her out to exercise.
In order to regain footing, Trump's acolytes are trying to slander the woman.
That old fart Rush Limbaugh was the first to launch attacks against her. He called her porn star Miss Piggy.
The Daily Caller said Machado is a porn star. They accused her of being involved in drug cartels and threaten a federal judge.
Then the softball and Newt Gingrich would trash her, Clinton and blame Lester Holt for making the issue about Trump's sexism.
Every time they take the message off Clinton, the Trump campaign takes a hit.
Maybe the polls will determine how this goes. As long as one of these candidates makes it to 270 electoral votes, they become the president.
The folks over at Fox News aren't happy with the outside work of their hosts. The country's most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media was forbidden from appearing in Donald Trump campaign videos.
He was also told not to cite online unscientific polls (especially from The Drudge Report).
Dana Blanton, the vice president of Fox News warned all anchors that "online polls" are not credible.
"As most of the publications themselves clearly state, the sample obviously can't be representative of the electorate because they only reflect the views of those Internet users who have chosen to participate. Another problem--- we know some campaigns/groups of supporters encourage people to vote in online polls and flood the results. These quickie click items do not meet our editorial standards."
So in other words, Sean "Softball" Hannity: You're close to striking out.
Donald Trump's terrible debate performance doesn't destroy his chances at winning the presidency.
It might excel his support among non-educated White people. The people who continue to believe that the softball is an everyman.
On his radio show, the softball was citing online polls from The Drudge Report and The Hill as factors to Trump's performance. He also took jabs at the rest of the junk food media for being elitist.
The softball attacked the media “elites” for proclaiming Hillary Clinton the winner of Monday's presidential debate, when he said many viewers clearly thought otherwise.
Online polls from the Drudge Report, Breitbart News, CNBC and elsewhere showed Donald Trump coming out on top by wide margins, The softball said, but the mainstream media gave it to the Democratic nominee instead.
Many online trolls called him out for his hypocrisy.
More on his antics in the next post. He and the righties are going after former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado.
BE WARNED THE VIDEO CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGES. TAKE DISCRETION WITH THIS. MAY CONTAIN GRAPHIC LANGUAGE.
The El Cajon Police are defending its officers after it fatally shot an man who allegedly had mental issues. Once again, the tragic shooting of unarmed Black men is coming into focus.
It sparked more outrage with the Black community and the law.
Two officers were responding to a call regarding a man walking in traffic. He refused order to remove his hands from his pocket. What drove them to shoot was the object that came from his pants.
The officers bot simultaneously shot and Tasered the man. He died on route to the hospital.
Alfred Olango was his name and the hashtag is trending online.
Of course, police chief Jeff Davis defending the actions of the officers. He said that they're lives were on the line. Davis concluded that Alfred has no weapon.
This incident has pissed off the residents of the city. The video emerged on social media shows the moments after the incident. A woman claiming to be Alfred's sister is heard screaming and crying.
She said she called the police for help.
"Oh my god. You killed my brother. I just called for help and you killed him." said the woman.
On the video a woman decried that it's time to riot. This shit is going on in California.
Mind you that the Rodney King incident and the failure to charge the four officers with charges set off a riot in the city.
The folks at Newser are mentioning a tragic gun crime inside a Starbucks. It's even happening inside a restaurant that many people find comfort in.
Las Vegas Metro Police arrested a terrorist who entered Starbucks armed with a semi-automatic firearm. The reason for the attack, he didn't get his order right.
A Starbucks customer described terrified people dropping to the floor and sobbing after a gunman parked his car and entered the Las Vegas store, shooting a man inside.
Customer Medin Gebrezgier told police and a television reporter that he saw the gunman, identified Monday by police as Pedro Jose Garcia, fire twice into the ceiling before shooting a man in the chest.
Garcia entered the store after his payment card was declined at the drive-thru window, police said.
"Terror, it was just terror. We were afraid," Gebrezgier told KVVU-TV. He described people crying and hitting the floor when shots were fired a little before 11:30 a.m. Sunday.
"We didn't know what was going to happen next. I had no idea what to do," he said. "I heard about this stuff on TV and movies, but it was all the way real."
The terrorist is 34 years old. He was jailed pending a court appearance on murder, robbery, burglary and weapon charges following his arrest at the Starbucks in a commercial center several miles west of the Las Vegas Strip.
Despite witness accounts that the terrorist was unable to make a purchase, a motive for the shooting remained unclear, police Officer Larry Hadfield said. The victim wasn't identified as a coffee shop employee.
"They're investigating whether there was any connection between the terrorist and the victim," said Hadfield, a department spokesman.
The name of the 41-year-old man who was pronounced dead at a hospital wasn't immediately made public by the Clark County coroner.
More than a dozen people were in the store at the time of the shooting, police Lt. Dan McGrath said.
Starbucks employee Tenaya Zimmerman jumped out the drive-thru window when shots were fired, her mother, Kim Plank, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Las Vegas Starbucks was the scene of a fatal shooting.
A message left Monday by The Associated Press at a telephone number associated with Gebrezgier wasn't immediately returned. A call to a number associated with Plank went to an incorrect number. No number was immediately found for Zimmerman.
McGrath said the terrorist tried to blend in and elude police at the scene by calling 911 and describing someone else as the shooter. He was arrested after witnesses identified him to officers arriving to what police initially thought was a hostage situation.
Parts of the shopping center were evacuated for about two hours while a bomb squad examined a backpack in the Starbucks that the terrorist allegedly said contained a bomb.
Hadfield said there was no device, but police said a .22-caliber handgun was found in the coffee shop.
The terrorist served time in federal and Nevada iron colleges for convictions on stolen vehicle, battery, attempted theft, drug and weapon charges, according to court and prison records that showed he was released from federal custody last November.
It wasn't immediately clear if the terrorist had an attorney ahead of his initial court appearance.
Many of the online polls said that Republican Donald Trump won the debate. I disagree.
The needle hasn't moved yet on the polls so we're still in a virtually tied race. Hillary Clinton was well prepared for this debate. Trump wasn't prepared for this and it's going to be two more of these and the vice presidential debates.
Now the kookspiracy nuts are complaining about it.
Some are attacking Lester Holt for not focusing on Clinton's scandals.
Some are attacking Donald Trump's sniffing and his sipping on water.
Some are attacking Hillary Clinton for wearing a red pantsuit.
Some are saying that Trump's mannerism are the key to his temperament.
The agitators are picking apart the issues that were discussed.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was roundly mocked by Trump for sipping water. Now the trolls made fun of the water drinking.
