A Wichita man was killed by the law after a troll "swatted" his address.
A fatal police shooting of an innocent man in Wichita, Kansas sparked by a dangerous prank called "swatting."
The fatal shooting of Andrew Finch draws attention to bad cops with firearms.
This becomes another national news event in which draws the attention of Black Lives Matter. The victim was a 28 year old White male who had nothing to do with the call.
The person who made the call was a gamer who played Call of Duty. Andrew doesn't play video games.
Someone online had called the police claiming a man had a gun and was threatening to take out as many people nearby.
The Wichita Police responded in kind. They bang on the door and Andrew opens the door with the deer in headlights look. They told him to drop to the ground. He was about to drop to the ground, but a cop saw him reaching to pull his pants up.
He thought he was reaching for a firearm and put a couple rounds in him.
Andrew was a father of two and didn't have any violent history with the law.
It now prompted the Wichita Police, Sedgwick County boys and the FBI to look into the matter. The cop is placed in the freezer and will be investigated. The police haven't released the name or years of this cop. The junk food media will look into his disciplinary record to determine if this was justified.
The brutal arrest of a teen got America talking. Ulysses Wilkerson was bloodied by Troy, Alabama police. His mother, Angela Williams is demanding criminal charges.
Be warned the pictures are graphic.
The brutal assault on a fleeing suspect has gotten national attention. This happened in Alabama. This is the state that gave a fledgling Democrat a powerful voice.
Are you listening Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL)?
[THE BLACK PEOPLE] voted your ass in. You better support the progressives and Black Lives Matter. Their concerns are very important for you to continue a decent hold on your Senate seat.
Troy, Alabama police served Ulysses Wilkerson some knuckle style chili with a side of toe jam sandwiches.
His mother, Angela Williams posted a picture of her son on social media and it went viral. The pictures shows a teen's face bloody and eyes swollen shut.
Yeah, Troy Police said that Ulysses was running from them. They caught him and claimed he resisted arrest. The law served him knuckle sandwiches.
He was sent to the hospital with brain trauma, a cracked eye socket and possible hearing loss. The injuries occurred when he was placed in the bracelets.
Wilkerson was served a few misdemeanor charges. Those would be later dropped. Now the family hired an attorney and the police have opened an investigation into the matter.
Kind reminder to folks who support Donald J. Trump. At a campaign stop in New York in front of police agencies he said that cops should rough up suspects.
Now, we're getting them [criminals] out anyway, but we'd like to get them out a lot faster, and when you see these towns and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, I said, please don't be too nice. Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over, like, don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody. Don't hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, okay?
Massive fire destroys an apartment complex in the Bronx. Multiple deaths. Regulations could have prevented this. Trump cut regulations.
Tragedy in the Bronx. Again those worthless thoughts and prayers. The politicians and the Americans who want to decide to make themselves feel better hop on social media to offer their thoughts and prayers. Instead demanding accountability and donations, we will use the social media to make ourselves feel good about hashtag activism.
A three year old boy playing with a stove caused the fire.
Bill De Blasio, Andrew Cuomo and Donald J. Trump were notified about this one. This incident was a massive fire and it cost 12 people their lives.
Once again, infrastructure and regulations come up.
Trump said that he will repeal regulations because they are job killing.
Well regulations do save lives. I bet you money that regulations would have prevented whatever happened overnight.
The FDNY was overwhelmed with this one.
Minority neighborhoods suffer with lackluster living establishments.
The mayor De Blasio said it could be one of the "worst fire tragedy in this city in at least a quarter century."
There are an unconfirmed amount of critical injuries.
"This will rank as one of the worst losses of life to a fire in many, many years," said De Blasio.
The fire started on the first floor and quickly spread upon the building. This had numerous violations and it wasn't properly checked by regulators.
So what happens next?
I can tell you that a fucking tax cut won't help these individuals find a home.
Let's get this straight, we have infrastructure issues and we get a fucking tax cut. Wow, we are living in the twilight zone.
A little boy was killed by the police. Texas deputies killed Kameron Prescott and Amanda Jones.
The holidays weren't great for the families of a boy and a woman killed by Texas police.
Today, the body of a 7 year old boy is laid to rest. He was the latest victim of a brutal massacre by cops. The Bexar County boys confirm that their deputies killed Kameron Prescott.
He was unarmed and one of the unintentional victims of circumstance.
The law was chasing after a woman named Amanda Jones. The law thought she was armed with a weapon. She was trying to break into a trailer home
This happened on December 21st and is getting national attention.
The deputies fired upon Jones instantly killing her. Upon entering the house they discovered Kameron lying in a pool of blood.
They soon found out that she wasn't armed and the bullets that killed the boy were fired by deputies. Now the four deputies who fired upon Jones and Prescott were placed in the freezer.
Amanda Jones mugshot. The woman was killed by the Bexar County boys after she tried to break into a trailer home. She wasn't armed.
Their names weren't revealed yet. The years of training and discipline record weren't released as of today.
Bexar County sheriff Javier Salazar is doing damage control.
"Someone from inside the trailer that (Jones) forced her way into ... said that she had an object in her hand. They believed it could have been a weapon," the sheriff said Tuesday. "And when she exited the house, the witness heard the suspect proclaim to whoever was outside -- we now know that was the deputies -- `I have a gun, I'm going to shoot you."' "We're not going to rest until we have some answers," Salazar said. "I fully realize that (Kameron's) family is entitled to some answers. And it is my job to give them those answers. I'm not going to stop until I have them."
Now this is the latest incident in which bad cops kill innocent people. What will it take for America to realize that police reform is needed to stop these incidents.
Now I am wondering if the conservatives are willing to blame the father or mother's past history with the law to justify a child being killed by police.
Fox and Apple Music Entertainment teamed up with Bad Boy CEO, Sean "Puffy" Combs to do a documentary. It's on tonight.
Bad Boy has been in the business since 1994. It started with a young intern for Uptown Records. He was writing and producing hits for Jodeci and Mary J. Blige. He heard a demo from a young rapper named Christoper Wallace who dubbed himself as Frank White. He would soon be known as The Notorious B.I.G.
Combs was fired out the cannon at Uptown after he was held responsible for a riot that ended up killing nine concert goers who attended the City College of New York.
He would use $12,000 of his savings to start up the Bad Boy Records label. He inked a deal with Clive Davis and his Arista Records. The rest is history.
The series titled Can't Stop Won't Stop is a dedication to the Bad Boy family.
Combs revisits his historical roots with guest appearances from many of those who helped Bad Boy become an iconic label.
Combs, the media mogul who made hip-hop what it is today is credited for the rise and fall of many acts. He is also the founder and CEO of Ciroc, Sean John Fashions, Revolt TV and executive producer of Fox's reality show The Four.
The current roster of Bad Boy is Combs (as Puff Daddy), French Montana, Cassie and Machine Gun Kelly.
Combs credited for putting hits.
Craig Mack, Mase, The Lox, 112, Total, Father MC, Carl Thomas, Faith Evans, Shyne, Dream, Mario Winians, Loon, Black Rob, Janelle Monae, G. Dep, Yung Joc, Danity Kane, B5 and Gorilla Zoe had once signed to the label.
Puff gathered his friends to do the Bad Boy Reunion.
He also is credited to production for Usher, Junior MAFIA, Lil' Kim, Heavy D, Lil Cease, Rick Ross, Jeezy and Los.
The Notorious B.I.G. is the iconic rapper who bought Bad Boy to prominence. He was hailed as the King of New York rap music. He was dubbed the most recognizable MC to ever score a diamond certification album. He was finishing up his second album Life After Death when he was killed in February 1997 after leaving the Vibe Music Awards after party.
His murder remains unsolved. Some point to a controversial feud with another rapper who was killed in September 1996. They said at the peak of this feud, many rappers were concerned that people would die from this.
Biggie Smalls was engaged in a high profile feud with Tupac Shakur. In 1994, Shakur fingered Biggie and Combs for a botched robbery that nearly cost him his life. He was also sent to the iron college on allegations of rape and robbery of a female fan. He served a few montha in the iron college before he was sprung out by a media mogul who was best known for putting out West Coast gangsta rap.
The feud with Bad Boy was sparked by an antagonist media mogul named Marion "Big Suge" Knight.
Knight bailed Shakue out of the iron college and helped him seal a deal with the label. Soon after, Shakue would start trashing on Bad Boy, Biggie Smalls and those associated to the label.
Shakur would force the label to react and response in their own set of disses.
The junk food media hyped up the feud by labeling it the East Coast vs. West Coast.
It cost two men their lives. It helped Combs discover himself.
He is held as one of the richest media moguls in modern history. He pulls nearly $1 billion in revenue. He donates his fortune to scholarships, internships, food banks and housing.
Sean Combs is an icon of Black success. Salute to Puff Daddy and Bad Boy.
Former Republican senate candidate is trying to stop Alabama from certifying the senator-elect from taking his seat. He claims voter fraud and deceptive tactics from Republicans and Democrats.
The twice removed Alabama supreme court chief justice is still pouting over his devastating loss.
Roy Moore has not conceded his bid to win the U.S. Senate seat. Despite him being friendless and pretty much out of time, he filed a last minute lawsuit to halt the certification of his opponent Doug Jones, the first Democrat in 25 years to take the heavily favored Republican seat.
The seat was occupied by Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III and current occupier Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL). Strange lost his primary run off to Moore.
As Moore became the nominee, accusations came forth. Nine women accused Moore of predatory behavior. One of them said at age 14, Moore sexually abused her.
Moore who was a prosecutor from the Gadsden area was accused of trolling malls and malt shops for teenage girls while in his 30s.
Moore denied all the allegations. He appeared on Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival to denounce the allegations. He said that he "wouldn't date an underage girl unless she got approval from her mother."
Moore had the backing of former White House political adviser Steve Bannon and Donald J. Trump. The RNC at first pulled all funding from Moore.
Trump demanded the RNC get on board and fund him.
Moore lost the election by 20,000 votes. That's over the 1% threshold to demand a recount.
Jones, a former civil rights attorney and state prosecutor won narrowly. The Democrats were on pins and needles. They had Al Franken and John Conyers become distractions to Jones.
His win, gives Democrats hope to win back the Senate and House of Representatives.
The Republicans steadily passed tax reform without reading it.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that the winner will be seated in 2018.
Moore is hoping to keep the winner from being seated.
