A police officer shot a man outside the baggage claim area of the Dallas Love Field airport in Dallas, Texas.

The shooting was first reported at the airport on Twitter around 12:15 p.m. on Friday afternoon on Twitter.

A smartphone video that captured the shooting shows a police officer at the airport pointing his gun after gunshots can be heard firing.

"Get down!" the man shouted repeatedly with his weapon pointed.


The shooting started as a domestic disturbance incident, as the Dallas PD officer reacted to a man throwing rocks at a woman's car outside the baggage claim area. The suspect, a black male, was confronted by the police officer, who "discharged his weapon a number of times," Assistant Chief Randall Blankenbaker told reporters on Friday afternoon.

A 15-year old Florida girl has committed suicide after a friend posted nude footage of her, taken without her permission, on social media. The girl's family is seeking justice, but the police reportedly see no links to bullying. Tovanna Holton, a freshman at Wiregrass Ranch High School, killed herself with her mother's gun on Sunday.

"I couldn't get in the bathroom," her mother, Levon Holton-Teamer, told Tampa NBC-affiliate WFLA. "The bathroom light was off so I tried to get in and I looked down and I saw the puddle of blood. I tried to apply the pressure, the pressure to her head. I tried to save her."

The girl's mother recalled the last conversation with her daughter, who, she said, could not bear the humiliation.

"Tovonna would say, 'Mommy, I owe them; I owe them'. I said, 'What do you mean you owe them?' I couldn't understand what was wrong," Holton-Teamer told reporters. In search for answers, Tovanna's aunt went on Facebook and found out that the niece's close friend posted a nude picture of her taken in a shower.

Comment: How is it that "nothing points in the direction of bullying" when a young girl is publicly humiliated to the extent that she commits suicide?! Violence against women and girls has become an allowed behavior of pathological individuals from pathological institutions. These types feel no shame, as demonstrated by the ex-boyfriend's comments above, but it is a shame on all of society to see such regular cruelty.

Police raided 56-year-old Stuart Tomlinson's home to look for indecent images of children on his computer

A paedophile who filmed himself raping a toddler was jailed for 12 years.

Police raided 56-year-old Stuart Tomlinson's home in Liverpool to look for indecent images of children on his computer on July 22 last year.

But as officers examined the sick stash discovered on his equipment, they recognised Tomlinson in a video, which showed him raping the child.

Judge Andrew Menary, QC, said Tomlinson spent hours "trawling the internet in order to satisfy your depraved sexual appetite" then took his offending even further.

He said: "Your victims speak of understandable stress, shock and outrage of what has been discovered.

"Any right-thinking member of society will be horrified and disgusted to hear what you have done."

Martine Snowdon, prosecuting, said Tomlinson made no comment, both when arrested over the images and when re-arrested over the 11-minute clip.

The lawyer told Liverpool Crown Court the video showed Tomlinson, now of Wakefield Drive, Moreton , "treating it as a game" with the toddler.

Tomlinson had also secretly filmed adult women and girls going to the toilet and had five extreme animal pornography videos.

Comment: This predator deserves no less than a life sentence without possibility of parole.

A student pilot and his flight instructor have been missing for nearly two weeks after their plane took off from a California island in overcast conditions.

Woodland Hills, California insurance broker Edmond Haronian, 50, and flight instructor Jason Glazier, 50, went missing on May 28 after their plane took off on a return flight from Catalina Island. Authorities confirmed to CBS Los Angeles that the men did not file a flight plan.

The aircraft departed Catalina Island Airport on Saturday afternoon, but failed to make it back to Van Nuys Airport, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman told the Los Angeles Times.

Haronian's family is offering $150,000 for information that leads to his body and $250,000 if Haronian is found alive.

"We would like to have closure," Haronian's brother, Edwin Haronian, told ABC 7. "And we would like to accept it if we find some clue that it actually crashed."

The family said they had nearly given up hope until they found photos Haronian posted on Facebook showing that he had reached Catalina.

Children might be a little safer now that a Broward County Sheriff's Sergeant has been arrested on 29 counts ranging from child porn to sexual assault to child molestation — a number of which occurred while the officer was on the job.

"Today, detectives with our public corruption unit arrested Sgt. Kreg Costa on a multitude of child pornography charges," announced BSO Sheriff Scott Israel on Thursday, according to 7News.

Sgt. Kreg Costa faces a litany of disturbing charges including, as 7News cited the arrest form, "seven counts of using a child in a sexual performance, 12 counts of possession of child pornography, four counts of lewd and lascivious conduct, one count of sexual assault, four counts of soliciting or enticing a child using a computer, and one count of transmitting information harmful to a child."

White privilege: Sentences for two rapists in US highlight problems of racial disparity for similar crimes

When Cory Batey was a 19-year-old standout football player at Vanderbilt, he raped an unconscious woman. The ample evidence, including security cameras showing the unconscious woman being carried into a dorm room and cellphone photos and videos of the sexual assault, was clear — Cory Batey sexually assaulted the woman. In April, a jury found Batey guilty of three felony counts including aggravated rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery.

He was immediately remanded into custody and must serve a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 to 25 years in prison. What Batey did was reprehensible. The judge and jury treated his crime as such.

That's what makes the case of Brock Turner, a 19-year-old standout swimmer at Stanford who raped an unconscious woman, all the more infuriating. As was the case with Batey, ample evidence existed that Turner was guilty. Eyewitnesses actually caught him in the act as he sexually assaulted an unconscious woman behind a dumpster. A jury agreed and Turner was found guilty of multiple felony rape charges. Turner, though, was given a six-month jail sentence and told he could be released on good behavior in as little as three months. He won't even go to an actual prison, but will remain in the local jail during that time.

One man will spend the entire prime of his life in prison for his crime — the other will be out of jail before the summer heat disappears. One man is black and the other is white. I won't even ask you to guess which is which. This is America.

Wrongfully convicted Detroit teen finally released after eight years in prison

On Wednesday, 23-year-old Davontae Sanford was finally released from prison after a Michigan judge vacated his sentence in a quadruple homicide that he did not commit.

Sanford, a mentally handicapped youth who is blind in one eye, was 14 at the time of the shooting in his Detroit neighborhood. He had served eight years in state prison based solely on a false confession coerced out of him by police.

Police took Sanford in for questioning for the murder, which occurred in a drug house in Sanford's neighborhood, and interrogated him over the course of two days without the presence of a lawyer or his parents. Sanford finally agreed to confess to the crime when police told them that he could leave if he would "just tell them something," according to the Detroit News.

Sanford's confession contained numerous factual inconsistencies. He was unable to correctly name the type of gun he had allegedly used to carry out the murders, and all of those who he named as accomplices had alibis.

In flagrant violation of protocol, Sanford's confession was not videotaped by the police. A second confession was staged and recorded by police, this time with more accurate details of the crime scene, which were almost entirely fed to him by the interrogating officer.

On July 25, 2015, Christopher Johnson was booked into Harris County jail on suspicion of driving under the influence. He is now suing after he says police choked him for smiling during his mugshot.

"He was choked, in front of a room full of people, for smiling. That's very humiliating," said attorney Andre Evans, who is representing Johnson in a civil rights lawsuit filed in Federal Court.

According to Johnson, he was merely smiling for the picture which agitated the deputies.

Johnson accused a deputy of saying, "Man, stop smiling!" just before him and another deputy moved in for the assault.

Teens in the US showing less interest in "risky behavior" like sex, drugs and smoking

Sex, drugs and cigarettes aren't in high demand among US teenagers these days, as fewer young people choose to engage in "risky behavior" compared to youth a decade or two ago, a government survey reveals.

The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) polled 16,000 American students aged 12 and older at 125 schools across the country as a part of the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) that the agency has conducted every two years since 1991.

It appears that nowadays, teenagers are smoking less, not as many use illegal drugs or drink alcohol and fewer have sexual relations.


Comment: This could be because many teenagers are instead spending inordinate amounts of time on their smartphones addicted to different social media outlets. That in itself is likely "risky behavior", since so many young Americans appear to have very little understanding about history, science and current events. One would not want to live in a society of ignorant narcissists who only are interested on posting their next selfie on Facebook.


"Current cigarette smoking is at an all-time low, which is great news. However, it's troubling to see that students are engaging in new risk behaviors, such as using e-cigarettes," said CDC Director Tom Frieden.


Comment: Nicotine actually improves cognition and protects against a number of health maladies, so more than anything it appears that young people have bought into the propaganda spread by authority figures like the CDC. See also:

Humanity reaches new low: Academic predicts teens will soon lose their virginity to robots

Teens may soon have their first sexual encounters with specially-designed robotic dolls, an expert has claimed. He warns the trend could ruin human relationships.

Professor Noel Sharkey, professor of robotics at Sheffield University, told the Cheltenham Science Festival on Thursday that the rise of the love machines could have terrible consequences for humanity.

"It's not a problem having sex with a machine," Sharkey argued. "But what if it's your first time, your first relationship?

"What do you think of the opposite sex then? What do you think a man or a woman is?"

Sharkey warned that the robots "will get in the way of real life, stopping people forming relationships with normal people."

Comment: On average, you would think that humans would make the right choice at least half of the time. So why is it that we are so screwed up? Humanity is on a steady, consistent descent into the most destructive, anti-human abyss imaginable, and it manifests in practically all of our endeavors. Sex is just one of the most obvious: pornography, the sex trade, human trafficking, rape, pedophilia. But it's everywhere: government, the food and drug industries, warfare, entertainment. We have normalized insanity.
