Baton Rouge Shooter Gavin Eugene Long Was Nation Of Islam Member, Railed Against ‘Crackers’ On YouTube Channel

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 03:51 PM PDT

A Youtube account operated by Gavin Eugene Long and discovered by The Daily Caller reveals key insight into what might have motivated the 29-year-old black man who killed three Baton Rouge police officers Sunday morning.

Videos on Long's account show that he was a former Nation of Islam member. He also railed against "crackers" and made references to Alton Sterling, the black man killed by police in Baton Rouge on July 5.

Other information about Long shows that the Kansas City native, who CBS reported was honorably discharged from the Marines in 2010, went by the name Cosmo Ausar Setepenra.

News Conference From Balitmore Police

Message From Governor Larry Hogan

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 02:12 PM PDT

This morning's shooting in Baton Rouge, which has already cost 3 police officers their lives and has resulted in serious injuries to at least 4 others, is an outrage and a tragedy. I cannot help but fear that this may have been a targeted attack against the very people who, out of a sense of duty and honor, have pledged to serve their communities and protect us all from harm.

Cold blooded and cowardly attacks on members of the law enforcement family make every single one of us less safe, and only serve to deepen the wounds that have opened up in communities across the country. Murder and violence are not substitutes for justice and the rule of law.

I will not rush to judgment and I urge others not to do so either. We are all awaiting details on the incident. The First Lady and I are praying for the victims and their loved ones. May God be with them, and with us all, as our country watches yet another tragedy unfold.

The Baton Rouge Advocate reported that two other men were picked up across the Mississippi River in Addis and were being questioned by police as "persons of interest."

"Day Of Rage" Continues: Milwaukee Cop Ambushed While Sitting In Car

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 01:55 PM PDT

Following a week during which President Obama focused on trying to reduce tensions and helping build trust between police and the communities they serve, it appears he failed as Friday's "Day of Rage" is spilling over...

A Milwaukee police officer was shot in a "vicious" attack early Sunday as he sat in his squad car while colleagues investigated a domestic disturbance call.

The suspected shooter, identified by police as a 20-year-old West Allis man with two felonies on his record, was found dead in a nearby yard, they said. It appears his death was suicide.

The incident began as a response to a domestic disturbance call near South 17th Street and West Morgan Avenue at about 2 a.m. During that investigation, someone fired shots into the squad car, striking an officer "multiple" times," Asst. Police Chief William Jessup said in a morning press conference.

The officer, a 31-year-old man with 13 years of service, was taken to Froedtert Hospital for surgery.Milwaukee police Sergeant Tim Gauerke said the injuries were not life-threatening.

"This is just another example of the risks our officers take each and every day to protect these citizens,"Jessup said.

Political Fodder or Dangerous Reality?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 06:13 AM PDT

By Thornton Crowe

Why does some think it's such a big deal? It's only about email... Right?

The Republicans are just in a witch hunt, it's really not that big of a deal!

One thing that has been particularly disturbing about the public shrug off towards Hillary Clinton's email scandal is this:

Does the general public really understand just what it all meant?

With Democrats running subversive tactics to shield the ugly truth while trying to make Republicans look like they're on some Agatha Christie Witch Hunt, it's no wonder many Americans allotting a whole hour for news a day, will not fully grasp the deal behind the deal of this scandal. It's easy to fall prey to Megyn Kelly telling you 'it's only politics', but it goes so much deeper than mere politics. It actually goes as deep as Clinton Cash, where the onion layers are so many, it's hard to peel in 20 minutes or less.

We can all sit around and hypothesize whether or not Clinton possessed a criminal intent, but it still doesn't erase the cold-hard facts. By placing top secret emails on an unsecured, undocumented private home-brew server, she is telling Americans she's dangerous, bent on selling out America. Her own lies about said SERVERS and DEVICES (plural and emphasized) are indicative of what we call, Guilty Knowledge. Meaning, she knew what she did was illegal and tried to conceal it from Congress, but more importantly, you, the American voters.

With this article, I task you to investigate the reality behind the hyperbole and decide for yourself if this is really what you would deem presidential behavior.

If you take the time to really process what this says, you'll quickly see this has nothing to do with political parties or some big, mystical Right Wing Conspiracy. There's some real concerns - no, evidence indicating we should be worried for our safety.

It's four easy points, you can't afford to ignore.



POINT ONE:

Why did she have servers in her basement when she has the whole of our government to keep all her communications safe at her disposal?

Clinton maintained it was for 'convenience.' 

Well, being the Secretary of State entails being inconvenienced sometimes, particularly when working with classified documents and communications. Is it her job to maintain this information in the strictest confidence while keeping us safe? Yes.

So, how is it safe when foreign actors can gain our most classified information simply by hacking into her unprotected system? Anyone with reason can clearly see, it's far from safe, it's dangerous.

Does Hillary Clinton make YOU feel safe?

Anyone looking at this first point would have to question her choice between our safety verses convenience, she demonstratively took the latter.

POINT TWO:

Why was there a need for off-radar servers?

If Clinton was purely altruistic and honest, why would she desire a server system off the grid? There's virtually nothing about our classified information that denotes this as logical.

Furthermore, there in lies what every right thinking person would call, intent.

In fact, all work-related communications are subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) . The mishandling of said information is illegal because her home servers hid it and then she purposefully move it from the government to an unsecured device(s). Anything the Secretary of State - or any other department within the Federal Government - is ours. We bought it. We paid for it.

So why is out there of for everyone in the world to see?

POINT THREE:

Why lie?

What was the purpose of the lying to Congress after shielding the existence of these servers? 

Again, if Clinton was a law-abiding person, she wouldn't have hidden its existence in the first place. Furthermore, as we now know from FBI Director James Comey, there was not one, but several servers and devices. (Hardly convenient.) Clinton repeatedly lied to  us and Congress about the number of devices and servers involved.

She only confessed to their existence when 'caught' with the goods.

For honest people, this is probably the most troubling of the entire caper.

While we can understand why the State Department didn't want us rooting through her clearance level intel, the fact remains consistent, they knew she had illegal servers and neglected to admit it, until... they were caught with the goods. Additionally, Director Comey's statements of facts, verifies Clinton's extreme carelessness with this sensitive information.

Most Disturbing...

For those who don't understand clearance and classified information, let me boil it down to normal comprehension as the government always complicates the simple.

Special Access Programs (SAPs) are so high even Congress is not cleared to read them. (Bear in mind, the FBI is not clear whether or not the people, her lawyers, read this highly sensitive information when they performed their churn & burn before handing over her emails to the State Department.) They range from telling locations of covert assets (spies) to potential enemy actors plotting to do harm to the United States in any capacity - financial, hacking and  attacks. And if breached, they endanger not only our intelligence community but each and every one of us. This is serious beyond reason and why many in Congress questioned Benghazi with deeper scrutiny.

POINT FOUR:

Why all the truculence when questioned by Congress?

It is normal for a review committee to conduct investigations and hearings when situations go a rye. Congress was merely doing it's job as per their sworn oath. They were representing us in trying to ascertain what happened in Benghazi, not just to give the victims' families closure. One of the functions is to discern if a breach could have been avoided in some way -- perhaps through some procedural change or policy adjustment.

Why was Clinton so belligerent during the hearings pertaining to Benghazi?

Usually people get pretty worked up when cornered. As we see with children, nothing puts a person in a tizzy faster than being caught in a lie. Often times, the web of deception becomes so convoluted, it's hard for even the savviest of liars to keep up with its many twists and turns.

Basic FACT: Clinton and her team's lies about a YouTube video unraveled when Congress discovered she admitted it was a terrorist attack to many on the actual night of said attack. The video 'story' came later. Yet, even though she was clearly busted, she got more angry because with every unraveling of one lie, another came forth and the list became long. As Congressmen Chaffetz, Issa, Jordan and Gowdy exposed her dishonesty in a public forum, her anger was more for the fact she could not longer cover up her dereliction of duty.

In short, that pivotal moment, she's proven her incompetence for her many foils and bungling while at the State Department. If anything, her resume lays out a well-routed argument why she is unfit to be the President of the United States. However, in her mind, she really doesn't care about her misdeeds or continual trails of untruths, even when sitting before a Congressional Panel.

To her, she was untouchable. 
It turns out, she is untouchable... or is she?

As long as some sit at big fancy desks in DC whom owe her for their position, probably. However, we the people don't need to buy her chuck n' jive!

Why? Because we don't owe her anything.

Why Does It Matter? Because it does...
I can't tell you who to vote for, nor would I even want to try. However, you can't walk into November 8th with eyes wide shut. Information is power and now you have a tidbit more than you had twenty minutes ago. All I can say is, use it wisely.

UPDATE after the above article was written:

Former President Bill Clinton
Attorney General Loretta Lynch
Appetite for corruption continues...

As many of my readers are already aware, it seems the big Email Scandal has yet taken another most ugly turn.

On Fox News Channel's The Kelly File last night, it was revealed by DC correspondent, Catherine Herridge,   FBI agents working on the Clinton Email Investigation, were forced to sign Non-Disclosure Orders (Gag orders).

Surprised? I should say not.

Clandestine Meeting in Phoenix
Another revelations was Herridge's FBI informant said they believed former president Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch forged a deal on the plane that balmy day at the Phoenix airport where they just 'happened' into one another. Safe to assume, many Thornton readers already suspected this as such.

However, the most intriguing information that seemed buried among the goop about gag orders and clandestine meetings was this:

The DOJ raised the bar so high it was impossible for the FBI to meet the requirement to recommend criminal charges...


DC Correspondent for Fox
Catherine Herridge
Read that line a couple of times and let it sink in!

This is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than any gag order, kids. This shows a clear cut collusion to make it impossible to criminally charge Hillary Clinton for her crimes against State. This piece of information should not leave anyone to guess as to what it meant and yet, many have ignored it - making the gag the big thing.


One statement says it all -- and it would be good for Congressmen Jason Chaffetz, Trey Gowdy, Darrell Issa and Jim Jordan to get those papers and agents before they go missing, too.

FBI Director James Comey
Additionally, this goes miles to explains Comey's bi-polar statement on July 5th. He laid out his case like a seasoned prosecutor before lowering the big boom!

Clear collusion to keep Clinton out of a criminal trial was their plan but because of their own clumsy bungling, Lynch and Clinton have just shined a brighter spotlight on something they wanted to remain hidden. Their assessment of the intelligence within our population is astounding as it denotes they believe we're too dumb to see their corruption!

While Comey can't choose nor change his boss - but we can in November!

It just gets better by the hour when we watch the continual journey to ruins of those in power...

Safe to assume, the jig is UP!

Stay tuned!

A pointed response to Mike Lewis's comments.

While I'm certainly no fan of Mike Lewis, a lot of what he says is true about Obama. It's pretty clear the Obama administration and Democrats are radicalize and trafficking hate in America - not just towards law enforcement but our society in general.

In his blind hatred, he and the whole Democrat party elites have vilified Trump for daring to love our country along with demonizing organizations like the Tea Party whom only seek to restore our Constitutional Rights and preserve our sovereignty.

It's time people grasp the vast difference between the Democrats today verses the party they knew thirty years ago. They're not of the same ideology -- no where close! Now, they profit from divisive speech which incites, no, demands violent exchanges that goes to disrupt and tear apart our societal fabric. Like a virus, they have tried to alter our perceptions to our own demise!

Simply put, we need to end this insidious romanticizing of the Left as some social justice warrior group and realize they are demonstratively hypocritical.

How ironic is it that Clinton comes out about racism in America - citing the system treats blacks unfairly when she, herself, was just given a pass for her criminality for the moment. She prospered (albeit temporarily) from this double standard justice that has the black men in jail while she gets to run for president and make such platitudes and frivolous promises to her 'masses.'

Open your eyes, my friends, the Democrat party has become a self-serving and self-interest only panderer that wants votes to retain their entitlements of power and money. There's not altruistic motus operandi (*CHARITABLE INTENT*) here.

Don't be fooled by the feel good, feigned social justice moments. It's all a charade designed to get your vote only. 

Obama has never had America's best interest at heart and his actions have betrayed his words. Even our GDP being less than 3% for his entire presidency is indicative of his apathy for our financial well-being. Furthermore, his incendiary speeches about violence and meetings with hate groups like BLM demonstrate a complete disregard for our personal safety. His denial of reality is to make you deny right along with him. Don't be fooled, he knows why the Dallas sniper gunned down police officers from an elevated perch. He also knows the perpetrator's criminal intent and the fact it was a well-thought out act of violence.

In short, Obama is still scamming Americans. After 7-1/2 years of this insane puppet show, when is it going to sink in, you've been duped every way imaginable! Wake up America.

How say you?

Statement from Mayor Jake Day on the sale of the Salisbury Giant:

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

This morning I was contacted by representatives of Royal Ahold and Delhaize Group who advised me that they will sell the Salisbury Giant to Albertson's Companies, Inc. In the coming months, the Salisbury Giant will become an Acme supermarket. The loss of our Giant is a situation which has been the topic of much discussion and worry over the past few months, but I'm happy to say that there is very, very good news to report.

First and most important, not one current Salisbury Giant employee will lose their job. There will be no store closure, and current Giant employees will continue on as Acme employees. This is fantastic news for the employees, their families, and our local economy. Additionally, the Salisbury Acme will remain a union shop. Current employees' standing as union members will not be affected in any way. I'm unable to speak to what may or may not happen in other markets, except to say that it is my understanding that our store is the only location where this will happen.

All of this means that, by and large, what Salisbury residents can expect to see is a sign change. Acme is a brand which has history in Salisbury, and I expect that residents will find the new store to be comparable to the Giant which it replaces. The bottom line is this: The store which has been known as Salisbury's premier supermarket will stay on – employees and all – with a new name. I'm excited to welcome Acme to Salisbury, and I will do everything I can to help them become part of our community.

A Viewer Writes: County Economic Development

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

Good Morning Joe!!! 

First and foremost I would like to say thank you for actually saying what's in your mind and not going with the majority and the spineless that are SUPPOSED to be leading Wicomico County and Salisbury. My question is and has been why has there not been any re-assessment of the Wicomico County Economic Development position. This has gotten swept under the table long enough and needs to be questioned even if it ruffles a few feathers.

I realize that Dave Ryan is a man of character and integrity, a very soft spoken man but I think the time has come to question exactly what is going on. The 150,000/year salary and the taxpayers of Wicomico County deserve more than what has transpired and the meek forecast.

On July 7, 2016 at 12:13 AM my wife was dying

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT


"On July 7, 2016 at 12:13 AM my wife was dying. She just had an emergency C-section and went into shock. I stood by her head while she was bleeding out and remembered every fight we ever had and the things I never did for her. I couldn't let her know how scared I was. I stood in front of my wife saying my final good bye! 

What do you say to someone knowing it's going to be the last time you talk to them. I tried so hard to comfort her and tell her everything is okay. I tried to smile and pretend that it's all part of the operation. 

They called a code blue and people started rushing into the room. She was shaking so much!!! I kissed her and asked God "please don't take her home." 

I thought about all the times I missed church at Way of life. I thought about how to tell my new family the bad news. So much was going through my mind that I had no time to enjoy my son. I had to be strong for my family. I had to put the weight upon my shoulders and walk with this load of having my wife pass in the operating room. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to pray because I thought God would shun me for not being a good Christian. I was so sorry and asked God if somehow he could just hear this last request. 


I was rushed to a different room and waited for about 10 mins. Jackie finally showed up and my heart was so so so so heavy with grief. I wanted to pick her up and carry her out of the hospital as if everything would be fine. I wanted to leave and have this nightmare be over! I stood with Jackie for about 3 minutes and the worst happened. She lost about 1 litter of blood in a couple seconds. I didn't say anything, I was so scared. I just looked at my wife and couldn't utter a word. I wanted to say I love you and tell her it's okay. I wanted to help her as much as I could. I wanted to stop everything and start all over again. I knew she was dying in front of me. 

They called another code blue! This time my heart stopped. I thought why didn't I pray every night! Why didn't I love her like God has loved me! I died in that room! I truly died! I didn't know what to do again. I watched helplessly as they tried to save my wife. People were running and pushing me farther away from her. She finally uttered a word and it was like the room went silent. She asked for some water and I knew she was leaving earth. 

They took me and my newborn son to another room. As we were walking I saw my mom and family. I wanted so hard for someone to hold me. I wanted someone to carry me like a kid and tell me it's gonna be okay. I didn't want to be a man anymore. I wanted to cry! I wanted to cry out to God and ask him why! I stood by my family for about 2 minutes looking at everyone and holding back all of my emotions. My mother asked me "how is Jackie?" I almost lost it and cried like a baby. I just shrugged my shoulders and said I don't know yet. I was lying, I knew she was in really bad shape. I wanted to run back in the room and hold her but I had to take care of my son now. He had to be given antibiotics to prevent an infection from starting. 

After about 5 minutes I asked the nurses if I can go see my wife and they reluctantly said yes. The hallway to where my wife was is about 40 yards. I walked about 5 yards and started crying alone. I couldn't keep up this persona for much longer. I was scared to walk back and hear the news. I wanted my dad to comfort me! I'm still his little boy!

 I had around 30 something yards to walk and God spoke to me. Gabriel my son I love you more than you can imagine. I heard you and I was there! I saw the c section. I helped the doctors find the problem. I saw when she hemorrhaged and made sure they caught it really quick. I was waiting for you in this hallway when you wanted your father. It's okay to call on me. I will always love you. Just as you asked to save your wife. I've been asking my father to save yours. I walked with more love in my heart for everything in that moment. My wife and son are doing great and will be discharged Sunday. If you see me at church don't ask me where I have been. Just say I'm glad to see you're home!"

Larry Hogan's split with Donald Trump divides Maryland Republicans

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

As Republicans across the country try to coalesce behind their controversial presidential nominee next week, Gov. Larry Hogan won't be among them.

Some deride the Republican governor for his repudiation of Trump. Some forgive him. Some agree with him. Others are baffled that he couldn't stay quiet.

The disagreement has exposed fault lines in Maryland's minority party and its leadership at a time when its fortunes are turning — with popular Hogan at its helm, record numbers of Republicans in local office and its best fundraising in more than a decade.

Hogan is one of two sitting Republican governors to disavow their party's presumptive nominee this year and one of only two Republicans elected governor in Maryland since 1966.

NAACP Leader: Dallas Shooter Was 'Defenseless,' 'Lynched'

Rev. Curtis Gatewood, field director for the NAACP's North Carolina branch and former 2nd vice president for the North Carolina NAACP State Conference, wrote on Facebook that the Dallas shooter was "defenseless" and "lynched."

"Yes, I'm coming to the defense of the defenseless. That includes [Micah] X. Johnson who has been accused of shooting about 12 police officers," Gatewood wrote on Sunday. Gatewood is not confident of Johnson's guilt saying, "Even if [Micah] was carrying a gun or [rifle], that in of itself does not prove he murdered the police officers."

Walmart Wants Salisbury News To Provide Promotions For Free

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

It is amazing to me how the biggest retail store here on the Shore sent us a direct request to promote a program they make millions of dollars on each year. 

The request was specifically for the North Walmart Store. I responded back to them telling them that unless they start advertising with us, we will NOT publish their release.

When you use common sense, clearly Walmart has come to learn that our audience is far greater then anyone else, or they wouldn't have sent the request. I explained that even as large as the company is, our ads are only $100.00 a month and with that ad we'd be more then happy to market their promotions. There's been no reply. I also shared our traffic to date and if that doesn't convince them that advertising with us would be an incredible move, I don't know what to say beyond those numbers.

Times have been tough for all of the small businesses over the past several years and on behalf of our advertisers we will not participate with these free promotion requests. 

That being said, we truly enjoy promoting free non profit events. BBQ's, Yard Sales, Fundraisers, Church events, Lost and found animals, all for free. 

I think Walmart can pony up $100.00 a month, wouldn't you agree?

Are fat people less intelligent than thin?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

People who are overweight make wrong food choices as they have 'less grey and white matter in the brain'

Fat people are less intelligent than people with a normal weight, a provocative study claims.

Overweight men and women have less grey and white matter in key areas of the brain.

They also have greater impulsivity and 'altered reward processing', the study said.

The researchers said that their findings could explain why overweight people make poor diet choices - they do not have the mental capacity to control themselves.

Nor are they able to stop themselves from making poor choices when the do eat something.

The theory is likely to prove controversial as weight loss campaigners have emphasised that each individual has different reasons for their struggle with their body.

JUST IN: Ruth Bader Ginsburg: 'I regret making' Donald Trump remarks

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:01 AM PDT

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Thursday she regrets remarks she made earlier this week to CNN and other news outlets criticizing presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

"On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them," Ginsburg said in a statement. "Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect."
Ginsburg extensively criticized Trump as "a faker" in an interview with CNN earlier this week.

Her comments enraged Trump and leading congressional Republicans and thrust the 83-year-old justice into the middle of the heated presidential race.

Lewes, Rehoboth, Millville and Millsboro Food Lion stores to become Weis

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

Food Lion stores in Lewes, Rehoboth, Millsboro and Millville are being sold to Pennsylvania-based grocer Weis Markets.

Delhaize Group, parent company of Giant, and Ahold, parent company of Food Lion, announced June 13 that their United States subsidiaries have reached agreements with buyers to sell 86 stores in a limited number of locations where the companies' U.S. subsidiaries both operate. These divestments are being made in connection with the United States Federal Trade Commission's pending review of the proposed merger between the two companies. The divested stores are being sold to well-established supermarket operators.

Weis expects to complete the conversion process for the majority of the stores in September and October and is interested in hiring current Food Lion store teams for the purchased locations.

"This transaction provides us the opportunity to expand into markets that are contiguous to our current trade area, particularly in Maryland where we are adding 21 stores, essentially doubling our store count in a state where we have steadily grown in recent years," said Weis Markets Chairman, President and CEO Jonathan Weis. "We're also looking forward to expanding our operations into two adjacent states with the addition of 13 stores in Virginia and four in Delaware."

BREAKING Executive Order -- United States Policy on Pre- and Post-Strike Measures to Address Civilian Casualties in U.S. Operations Involving the Use of Force

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby direct as follows:

Section 1. Purpose. United States policy on civilian casualties resulting from U.S. operations involving the use of force in armed conflict or in the exercise of the Nation's inherent right of self-defense is based on our national interests, our values, and our legal obligations. As a Nation, we are steadfastly committed to complying with our obligations under the law of armed conflict, including those that address the protection of civilians, such as the fundamental principles of necessity, humanity, distinction, and proportionality.

The protection of civilians is fundamentally consistent with the effective, efficient, and decisive use of force in pursuit of U.S. national interests. Minimizing civilian casualties can further mission objectives; help maintain the support of partner governments and vulnerable populations, especially in the conduct of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations; and enhance the legitimacy and sustainability of U.S. operations critical to our national security. As a matter of policy, the United States therefore routinely imposes certain heightened policy standards that are more protective than the requirements of the law of armed conflict that relate to the protection of civilians.

Civilian casualties are a tragic and at times unavoidable consequence of the use of force in situations of armed conflict or in the exercise of a state's inherent right of self-defense. The U.S. Government shall maintain and promote best practices that reduce the likelihood of civilian casualties, take appropriate steps when such casualties occur, and draw lessons from our operations to further enhance the protection of civilians.

Higher Resolution Images Show Philando Castile Handgun at Scene of Shooting…

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

The original narrative presented by Diamond "Lavish" Reynolds, in the aftermath of the Falcon Heights shooting, is in complete collapse. Reluctantly, even Mediaite and MSM are now having to concede officers Jeronimo Yanez and Joseph Kauser initially pulled over Philando Castile because he fit the exact description of an armed robbery suspect.

The leak of the radio transmissions surrounding the stop is irrefutable evidence the MSM are forced to accept. The best efforts of agenda-driven Snopes to obfuscate and refute the claim have embarrassingly failed. The truth continues to have no agenda.

Additionally, some higher resolution images from initial media on scene (hat tip Annette Kelly) are supporting the outline provided by officer Yanez attorney that Yanez was reacting to Philando Castile displaying a handgun toward Yanez:

Berlin Mayor Breaks Split Council Vote Giving Dollar General Free Utility Connection

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

BERLIN – After a heated discussion and a split vote, town officials agreed to cover the water and sewer infrastructure fees for the Dollar General being built on Decatur Street.

Mayor Gee Williams provided the tie-breaking vote Monday after the council initially voted 2-2 on a contract to have the town pay the $24,700 water and sewer connection fee for the new Dollar General. Town council members Thom Gulyas and Lisa Hall voted against the agreement, citing concerns about setting a precedent.

"It's a slippery slope," Gulyas said.

The contract, presented as one of several the council was to consider at Monday night's meeting, came as a result of the town's sale of the property at the corner of Decatur Street to Oxford Chase Development, the company building the new Dollar General.

New Black Panthers Want Their Own Country

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

Babu Omowale, the so-called national minister of defense for the People's New Black Panther Party, says his group and allied organizations have their sights set on establishing "our own government in a nation within a nation."

Omowale was speaking in an interview set to air Sunday night on this reporter's talk radio program, "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio," broadcast on New York's AM 970 The Answer and News Talk 990 AM in Philadelphia.

Omowale used the interview to claim five states as belonging to the "Black Nation": Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia.

The revolutionary stated: "We just need to start migrating back to those states and taking control of the economics in those states. If black people move in, most definitely white people will move out. So it's not a hard process for us to have our own country within a country."

Omowale is also co-founder of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, a black militant gun group named after Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton. According to reports, Dallas shooter Micah X. Johnson "liked" the Huey P. Newton Gun Club and Omawale has said that he recognized Johnson from black community events in Dallas.

Asked by this reporter what his group's endgame is, Omowale replied...

U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown likens federal indictment to Dallas police officer slayings

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown took to her blog to address her supporters and detractors in response to a 24-count federal indictment.

Brown, 69, of Jacksonville, and her chief of staff, Elias "Ronnie" Simmons, 50, were charged last week with participating in a conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, multiple counts of mail and wire fraud, concealing material facts on required financial disclosure forms, theft of government property, obstruction of the due administration of internal revenue laws and filing false tax returns, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Both pleaded not guilty to the charges Friday in federal court.

Brown likened her situation to the recent police shooting deaths of two black men in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and St. Paul, Minnesota, and the deaths of five Dallas police officers during a protest march Thursday night.

"Last week was very rough," Brown wrote. "Two black men were needlessly gunned down by police; five Dallas police officers were slain by a demented man; and on Friday I had to appear in federal court."

Calling the indictment "very scary," Brown said her "spirit remains unbroken."

"My conscience is clear because I'm innocent," she wrote. "I'm not the first black elected official to be persecuted, and, sad to say, I won't be the last."

Pandora Joins Other Tech Companies Endorsing Black Lives Matter Following Dallas Shootings

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

According to a report from Breitbart, Silicon Valley tech companies such as Microsoft, Google, Twitter, and Pandora Join Facebook in expressing their support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Pandora tweeted from their official Twitter account saying "We stand together. #BlackLivesMatter #LoveAboveAll" followed by an image with the following message, "Our hearts ache for all those who unfairly lost their lives. We stand with marginalized communities. We stand for racial justice. We stand for equity. And we stand together to make this world a better place. #BlackLivesMatter #LoveAboveAll" FULL STORY

Facebook also was quick to show support for the movement as well by placing a massive "Black Lives Matter" sign on its Menlo Park headquarters Friday just hours after five Dallas officers were gunned down by a member of a Black Power Political Organization. The sign's letters were made up of the names of different highly publicized and deceased black individuals including Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Michael Brown. READ MORE

Obama to address the nation’s racial divide in Tuesday memorial service in Dallas

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

Almost exactly three years ago, President Obama stood in the White House briefing room and said that he didn't think it would be "particularly productive" for him to convene "a national conversation on race."

But in the wake of a recent series of high-profile, racially charged shootings across the country, the president this week found himself doing exactly that.

Obama spent Monday preparing to address the nation at a Tuesday memorial service in Dallas for five slain police officers and meeting with advocates at the White House in an effort aimed at bridging the divide the between law enforcement and communities of color.

The president met for nearly two hours with leaders of eight law enforcement groups Monday, informing them that he considered the killing of the five Dallas police officers on Friday "a hate crime" and that he would work actively to serve as an intermediary between minority activists and police.

California Woman Receives Three Speeding Tickets Within an Hour

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

A California woman was arrested last weekend after getting three speeding tickets within an hour while driving in Pulaski County, Virginia, KCAL-TV reported.

According to police, Kai Kitchen of Los Angeles was taken into custody last Sunday where officers issued an arrest warrant for misdemeanor reckless driving.

Police say Trooper N.S. Rife first spotted Kitchen traveling 93 mph — 23 mph above the speed limit — at around 7 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 81. She received a citation for reckless driving and was released.

But about 40 minutes later, she was cited again, also by Rife, for reckless driving. This time, police say she was going 97 mph.

Then, at 8 a.m., Trooper M.R. Overholt pulled Kitchen over on I-81 for going 94 mph. This time, she was arrested.

According to KCAL, some of Kitchen's supporters have claimed that she was only pulled over that many times because she is African-American. Her lawyer says that's nonsense.

Killer Robot Used By Dallas Police Opens Ethical Debate

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT


DALLAS (AP) — When Dallas police used a bomb-carrying robot to kill a sniper, they also kicked off an ethical debate about technology's use as a crime-fighting weapon.

In what appears to be an unprecedented tactic, police rigged a bomb-disposal robot to kill an armed suspect in the fatal shootings of five officers in Dallas. While there doesn't appear to be any hard data on the subject, security experts and law enforcement officials said they couldn't recall another time when U.S. police have deployed a robot with lethal intent.

The strategy opens a new chapter in the escalating use of remote and semi-autonomous devices to fight crime and protect lives. It also raises new questions over when it's appropriate to dispatch a robot to kill dangerous suspects instead of continuing to negotiate their surrender.

"If lethally equipped robots can be used in this situation, when else can they be used?" says Elizabeth Joh, a University of California at Davis law professor who has followed U.S. law enforcement's use of technology. "Extreme emergencies shouldn't define the scope of more ordinary situations where police may want to use robots that are capable of harm."

Giuliani: Black People Must Teach Their Children To Be Respectful To The Police

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT

Sunday, on CBS' "Face the Nation," while commenting on the recent police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota and a sniper targeting and killing five Dallas police officers, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said African-Americans must, "teach your children to be respectful to the police, and you've got to teach your children that the real danger to them is not the police, the real danger to them, 99 out of 100 times, 9,900 out of 1,000 times are other black kids who are going to kill them."

Transcript as follows:

JOHN DICKERSON: Welcome back to "Face the Nation" With us now is former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Mr. Mayor, I want to ask you about something former speaker Newt Gingrich said, which is that he said, white Americans can't understand the extra risk that comes with being black in America and that whites "instinctively underestimate the danger of the black experience." What do you think about that?

GIULIANI: I agree with that completely. I agree largely with the sentiments of Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD). The reality is, we have to look differently at race in America if we're going to change this. We've been looking at it the same way for 20 years and, here's where we are. And, we both have to try to understand each other. First, let me say, my deep sympathy for the people of Minnesota, the people of Louisiana, the people of Texas and of Dallas, and I'd like them all to remember that although these incidents happened in different ways, they all share it together as Americans. And we share this violence together as Americans. So, maybe whites have to look at it differently, and blacks have to look at it differently. Whites have to realize that African-American men have a fear — and boys, have a fear of being confronted by the police, because of some of these incidents. Some people may consider it rational. Some people may consider it irrational. But it's a reality. It exists. And there's a second reality in the black community. And the second reality in the black community is, there's too much violence in the black community. So, a black will die 1 percent, or less, at the hands of the police and 99 percent of the hands of a civilian, most often another black. So, if you want to protect black lives, then you've got to protect black lives, not just against police, which happens rarely, although with tremendous attention, and which happens every 14 hours in Chicago. Every 14 hours. And we never hear from Black Lives Matter.
