Systemic coverup? Network of police pedophiles in Louisville, KY allowed to sexually abuse children for years

Louisville Ky police pedophilia
Inside information into the years-long sex saga involving two former Louisville Metropolitan Police Department (LMPD) officers is now being revealed. The city commissioned former U.S. Attorney Kerry Harvey to investigate the LMPD Explorers program for children to determine if sexual misconduct, abuse, and even rape were widespread with police officers involved in the program.

Two former LMPD officers have been charged with serious crimes, as The Free Thought Project reported, and the city, with good reason, wanted to know more about how police handled the complaints from parents and reports children were being groomed, propositioned, and even raped.

As TFTP reported in October 2017:
Brandon Wood...allegedly raped a teenage boy, both in [his] car and in a residence, and filmed the crime for the purposes of producing pornography. [Kenneth] Betts and Wood were police officer mentors in the Youth Explorer Program for kids who want to one day become law enforcement officers. It was inside the mentorship program that they are accused of finding their victims.

'Who does that?' Woman calls cops after 12-yo boy accidentally mows part of her lawn

Reggie Boyz Lawn Service
A 12-year-old Ohio boy was cutting a woman's lawn when a neighbor called the police after he accidentally mowed part of her yard.

Reginald Fields, who owns Mr. Reggie's Lawn Cutting Service, was mowing Lucille Holt's lawn Saturday with his friends when cops showed up.

"You have young people out here doing something positive and to get the police called on them was ridiculous," Fields told InsideEdition.com. "Who does that?"

The neighbor was reportedly mad because the boys mowed a patch of grass that sits between Holt's lawn and hers but, according to Holt, there is no fence separating the properties.

Reggie was unaware he had cut the neighbor's grass when authorities showed up.

Flutist Sofia Pinaeva, 28, played Bach and Mozart during her operation.
Surgery to remove a brain tumor is terrifying at best, but one patient decided to make the process a little more bearable, by playing the flute during the operation, providing surgeons with a recital in the most unusual of places.

Sofia Pinaeva, 28, underwent the surgery at University Hospital in Graz, Austria. She opted to stay awake for the surgery; if asleep, the patient runs a higher risk of losing brain function in the procedure.

But staying awake is one thing. Playing the flute while surgeons slice into your brain is another.

Russian Railways has begun works on the electrification of a railway line in Iran, the company said.


The project - worth $1.2 billion - will electrify a railroad connecting the Iranian city of Garmsar near Tehran with Ince Burun near the border with Turkmenistan. The length of the Garmsar-Ince Burun railway line is 495km.

The project will double the maximum speed on the link, while its capacity will grow fourfold to 10 million tons per year, according to the head of Russian Railways, Oleg Belozerov, who is visiting Iran to see the start of the work. The railway stretches to Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, linking Central Asia to the Persian Gulf and beyond.

A firefighter walks away from smoke as it rises from burning moorland at Winter Hill.
A helicopter has spotted people lighting new fires on a Lancashire Moor, as firefighters battle to contain a blaze raging nearby, at Winter Hill. Fire crews have described the discovery as "heartbreaking and unbelievable."

More than 20 fire engines were ready to take on a new day at the scene of the moorland fire on Monday, with firefighting resumed at dawn. Crews remained at Winter Hill, near Bolton, overnight. Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) confirmed that extra crews arrived at dawn, bringing the total number of fire engines to 22.

"These fire engines are continuing to focus on hotspots around the 8km (5mi) site," the LFRS tweeted. Adding further fuel to the already well-established moor blaze, arsonists were spotted lighting grassfires in the nearby Healey Nab area by a police helicopter.

"As they've been trying to extinguish the fire, people have been seen lighting other grass fires in the vicinity," Tony Crook from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service told Sky News "Police are now attending the scene, to try to apprehend those arsonists. It absolutely astounds me."

German Federal Police Chief Dieter Romann praised the organizers of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, who have managed to prevent hooligan-related incidents, while assisting well-behaved fans.

Romann spoke highly of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), saying: "the good work of intelligence services should not be seen. Therefore it's organized very well."

German law enforcement has cooperated with the FSB for many years in the fields of border control, document checks, among other things, the federal police chief told reporters at the FSB headquarters in Moscow.

New York private school plans to racially segregate students based on 'research'

A West Village private school is facing a severe backlash from parents over its policy of segregating students by race. The school has promised to review the practice, but also said parents had been told about it.

The $45,485-a-term Little Red School House is facing outrage from parents who are appalled at the idea of segregating children based on race and ethnicity, the New York Post reports.

Parents recently learned of the school director Philip Kassen's plans to put minority middle-school students in the same homerooms starting next school year. The students share classes with their homeroom group for 30 percent of the day.

They also became aware that seventh and eighth graders had already been placed in classrooms based on race in the last school year and that this would likely be expanded to sixth grade in September. A number of parents have even reported the racial division appears to already occur from kindergarten onwards.


Comment: Has the US come around full circle? Presumably, all these kids share very similar linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and so far we haven't heard of any problems with small children in American schools over their ethnicity. So isn't the school creating a problem where none existed? Aren't they teaching children that appearance is more important than ideas and behavior? If research points to some sort of benefit to being around your own ethnicity, don't children get that already at home?
