U.S. Man Beats Infant to Death After Learning He`s Not the Father, Police Say
WREG - Memphis 10 hours ago
A Memphis man was arrested this week and faces deportation after police
say he beat a four-month-old to death after learning the child was not
his biological son.
Chuck Norris slammed for becoming the face of Glock:
( little cry babies)
My guns have NEVER unlocked themselves, unlocked the safe, loaded themselves, opened the door, unlocked the car, drove the car...and went out and hurt anyone. Don't be STUPID... the gun is not the danger, its the person holding it. STOP making a fool out of yourself.
(This young man just got a second job to make his future better. So many lazy men don't even have ONE job. This young man is the REAL definition of a MAN. The others are little boys)
Officer drives man to job interview instead of writing traffic tickets
Ka'Shawn Baldwin was trying to get to a job interview
when he was stopped by Ofc. Roger
CAHOKIA,
Ill. (WTHR) - An Illinois man is singing the praises of a police
officer who gave him a lift when he could have given him a ticket.
Cahokia
High School Resource Officer Roger Gemoules was patrolling the streets
while his school was on spring break Wednesday. That's when he pulled
over 22-year-old Ka'Shawn Baldwin for expired license plates, then found
Baldwin also had an expired license.
But he told the officer he
was headed to a job interview and had no other way to get there than to
drive his friend's car with expired plates.
So instead of writing a
ticket, Gemoules drove Baldwin to the intervew at a FedEx facility,
where he was hired as a package handler. The work is a second job for
Baldwin, who already holds a job at McDonalds, though his bus trip to
work takes about 90 minutes.
"He was polite when I pulled him
over, and seemed like a good young man and I want to give him a chance.
If I gave him bunch of tickets and towed his car in, it would be tough
for him to recover from," Gemoules said.
Baldwin told KSDK-TV the second job will allow him to make money to get his license back, buy a car and, hopefully, a new home.
“I
would like to thank Officer Gemoules for showing compassion and being a
great example of how community oriented policing actually works,”
Jackson wrote.
The city has contacted the state's attorney's
office to see if they can get rid of Baldwin's tickets and restore his
license. The assistant to Cahokia's mayor posted Gemoules' photo on Facebook, praising him for his actions.
Police are asking for the public's help to locate a suspect in a motorized shopping cart who allegedly stole a Walmart shopper's wallet.
The victim and his girlfriend were inside the Walmart on State Road
590 in Clearwater, Florida, on April 1 when the victim dropped his
wallet on the floor inside the store, police said.
Before
the man could retrieve his wallet, the suspect approached on a
motorized cart and picked up the wallet and left the store on foot,
Clearwater police said in a statement.
The victim and his girlfriend followed and soon confronted the suspect.
The suspect, after being called out for allegedly stealing, threw the wallet at the victim and his girlfriend, police said.
Take f-in pride you bunch of "nothings". Poor little babies need to cry about everything. What a bunch of Low life's.
American flag design on Laguna Beach police cars causes both 'panic' and pride

The city council of Laguna Beach, Calif. is reconsidering the design recently implemented on its new police vehicles — a prominent American flag graphic — after some community members expressed shock and concern at the “aggressive” logo.
In early March, 11 Laguna Beach Police Department squad cars were
rolled out. The word “police” features prominently across the side of
each vehicle, painted in an Old Glory-inspired red, white and blue
design. And while some in the community take pride in the patriotic
look, others find it problematic. Want daily pop culture news delivered to your inbox? Sign up here for Yahoo’s newsletter.
One resident, designer Chris Prelitz, told the Times Community News that
when he and his wife first noticed the new design while dining out, it
was because he saw parents and children outside “scattering” around a
group of patrol cars.
“There was like a little panic going on, and I was
like, ‘What’s happening?'” he told the publication. “When one of [the
cars is] there, it works. But all of a sudden, I saw, wow, when there
are three, maybe four of them together, folks thought it was a SWAT
team, federal agents. So it had a very striking, strong impact, so much
so that I think there might be some unintended consequences.”
At a March 19th city council meeting, several Laguna beach
residents spoke up about their resistance to the new design. Carrie
Woodburn, a local artist, reportedly said it was “shocking to see the
boldness of the design,” which said “felt very aggressive.”
Woodburn later clarified her opinion on Facebook, writing, “for
the record, I have no objection to the black-and-white cars.” She
added, “I have no issue with our American flag. My personal observation
was that it felt aggressive and may not best represent our community.”
Even city council spokesperson Peter Blake told Yahoo Lifestyle
that Woodburn “came out and said something that would make perfect
sense otherwise,” as city council often does defer to input from artists
in the community. “She didn’t realize that she would be stepping on a
political landmine.”
The impetus for that landmine, according to Blake, was “a vocal
minority of political activists,” whom he calls “extremists” that
initially fought the new black-and-white design for police vehicles.
When they lost that battle, Blake said, they went after the stars and
stripes. “They even went to the American Legion to determine if it was
disrespectful for the flag to be chopped up [within the letters],” Blake
said.
So the city council appointed Laguna Beach police chief Laura
Farinella to green light the final logo. “We trust the police chief with
the safety of the community,” Blake said. “We can trust her with the
decision of what police cars will look like.”
Blake told Yahoo Lifestyle that an overwhelming majority of community members are on board with the American flag logo. Attorney Jennifer
Welsh Zeiter called the decorated Ford Explorers “exceptional” at the
city council meeting, and said that those who vocally oppose the design
are “so filled with hatred toward this … office of the president of the United States
and the current occupant of that office that they cannot see through
their current biases to realize that a police vehicle with the American
flag is the ultimate American expression.”
Laguna Beach Police Cpl. Ryan Hotchkiss, president of the
Laguna Beach Police Employees Association, spoke at the meeting to
say that he has only heard positive feedback about the new vehicle he
drives. “Every time I came to a stop sign, every time I came to a red
light, somebody is telling me the car looks great,” Hotchkiss said.
“Every one of our members that drives the car loves it, and we look
forward to keeping them the way they are.”
Mayor Steve Dicterow seemed to defend the new design, implying
that the logo and the new black-and-white paint job are intentionally
bold.
“This is about safety,” Dicterow said. “I want anybody to see it, period.”
Community members will discuss the controversial design and try to
come to a resolution at a new city council meeting scheduled for
Tuesday. They’re doing so “out of an abundance of caution to
address questions that have been raised about the process,” said city
manager John Pietig, according to the Times Community News.
On social media, community members who support the design are
encouraging others to attend the meeting in order to defend the flag.
Some are simply voicing their support.
And some are publicly condemning the design.
Because of California’s Brown Act, which guarantees the
public’s right to attend and participate in legislative meetings, the
city council must listen to comments — both dissenting and otherwise —
from the community before making a final decision on whether to keep or
scrap the patriotic police car design.
Blake has no idea what the outcome of Tuesday’s meeting will be, but told Yahoo Lifestyle he thinks it will be “an absolute absurdity if we didn’t allow the flag to stand.” Read more from Yahoo Lifestyle:
