Police Sgt. Anthony Robinson was recently found guilty of ordering other officers under his authority to assault underage suspects while they were in handcuffs. Robinson reportedly told officers Blake Norwood and Arthur Parker to beat up four different suspects, on different occasions. Three of the four suspects were reportedly minors at the time of the beatings.

One victim named Travarrius Williams told Channel 2 reporters that he was badly beaten well after his arrest while he was restrained.

"They were punching, kicking, stomping. They broke my teeth on the back of the windshield," Williams said.

Study finds that South Carolina judges exhibit 'massive' racial bias against blacks

Black people in South Carolina are treated much less fairly by the legal system than in any other state, a British-American study on criminal sentencing patterns reveals. It identified a clear racial bias, affecting both decision-making and the severity of the sentence.

The study found that blacks are more likely to be sentenced for things like petty crimes, and that their sentences were usually harsher than their white counterparts.

For the research, the University of Sheffield analyzed 17,000 sentencing decisions by South Carolina courts from 2000, when data was last collated. Dr Todd Hartman, of Sheffield, and Rhys Hester, of the University of Minnesota, tested for something called the "liberation hypothesis."

MSM pushes old crackpot theory that JonBenét Ramsey lived and became Katy Perry to make readers of alternative media seem crazy

Jonbenet/Katy Perry
This one is making headlines all over the place in the last 24 hours, and it reeks of the same agenda-driven psyop gusto that's behind the flat Earth theory: something over-the-top put in place and widely publicized as much as possible to make all conspiracy theorists (aka critical thinkers who do not automatically believe everything they are told by the government and mainstream media outlets without questioning said events) look insane to the rest of the general public, thus discrediting them, all conspiracy theories, and the entire alternative media movement.

See the video that started it for yourself:

Comment: Or, is the MSM so devoid of substance and so utterly vapid that they feel compelled to scrape the bottom of the barrel in entertainment news 'National Enquirer' style?

Police shoot another kid in Salt Lake City, he was 'armed' with a broomstick

Police shooting, cops

A teenage boy has allegedly been shot by police while holding a broomstick in Salt Lake City, sparking angry protests. Witnesses told local media the incident happened at around 8.15pm on Saturday evening (3.15am GMT) near a homeless shelter in the US city's downtown area.

Selam Mohammad said his friend was 16 and had been shot in the chest and stomach after he got into a fight with another person. Mohammad told the Salt Lake Tribune that the teenager was holding part of a broomstick at his side when officers ran up.

"They told him to put it down, once, and started shooting him as soon as he turned around," he added, saying his friend was hit in the chest and stomach. Authorities did not immediately confirm the boy's condition or the circumstances of the reported shooting.

Detective Greg Wilking told the Tribune that "shots were fired" but not how many or who by, and police later said up to two officers were involved.

Comment: The police in the US are getting dangerously close to inciting riots. The more easily and frequently they use violence as a first resort, the more likely it will be reciprocated against them by affected communities. This is foolish and dangerous, making communities more dangerous when the police are ostensibly there to deescalate and restore order.

String of knife attacks on New York City subways are part of a disturbing new trend

A man was slashed on the subway Friday morning in Midtown — in an incident that's part of a disturbing trend across the city, both above and underground.

A 60-year-old man from Mahwah was making his way onto a crowded train around 8:15 a.m. when he got into an altercation with another man, 1010 WINS' Al Jones reported. Police said the suspect started cursing, sparking the quarrel between the men, CBS2's Tracee Carrasco reported.

At the 57th Street and Seventh Avenue station, serving the N, Q and R lines, the suspect slashed the 60-year-old victim with a small knife in the chin and face before taking off, police said.

The victim continued on his way to work and then called 911 when he arrived at his job at Chopard Watches and Jewelry at Madison Avenue and 63rd Street.

Comment: One thing is clear, the public is demanding an increase is police presence. Given how the police, especially the NYPD treat minorities and the public in general, that may make the problem worse.

The girls, the paedophile and Cardinal Pell

Australia's worst paedophile priest, Father Gerald Ridsdale, once lived with a young clergyman who is now Cardinal George Pell. As the Cardinal prepares to give evidence to the child abuse royal commission, two women break decades of silence to tell Debi Marshall about their ordeal in Ridsdale's care - and their disappointment with Pell.

In 1973, a young Father George Pell, flushed with success from his recent studies in Rome and Oxford, returned to his home town of Ballarat and took up residence in the St Alipius presbytery; a place, it would be publicly revealed more than 20 years later, that was a paedophile's paradise and a child's nightmare.

His housemate that year was the tall, rowdy and popular parish priest, Father Gerald Ridsdale. What the parents and parishioners who worshipped God and obeyed the sanctity of the church and its messengers did not know was that from early in his priesthood, Ridsdale was subject to a psychiatric report. He was already a serial child abuser who sodomised children at will, picking them off when and where his desires dictated: in front of a church altar, at the presbytery, or on camping or fishing trips.

KKK rally in Anaheim, CA erupts in stabbings, 13 arrests

Three people were stabbed and 13 others were arrested when a Ku Klux Klan rally in Anaheim erupted in violence Saturday, police said. A small group of people representing the Klan had announced that it would hold a rally at Pearson Park at 1:30 p.m., police said. By 11 a.m., several dozen protesters had shown up to confront the Klan. About an hour later, several men in black garb with Confederate flag patches arrived in an SUV near the edge of the park.

Fighting broke out moments after Klan members exited the vehicle. Some of the protesters could be seen kicking a man whose shirt read "Grand Dragon." At some point, a protester collapsed on the ground bleeding, crying that he had been stabbed.

A Klansman in handcuffs could be heard telling a police officer that he "stabbed him in self-defense." Several other people were also handcuffed. Witnesses said the Klansmen used the point of a flagpole as a weapon while fighting with protesters. Two other protesters were stabbed during the melee — one with a knife and the other with an unidentified weapon, said Sgt. Daron Wyatt of the Anaheim Police Department.

Brian Levin, director of Cal State San Bernardino's Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, said he was standing near the KKK members when several protesters attacked them with two-by-fours and other weapons. Several of the Klan members jumped in the SUV and sped off, leaving three others to "fend for themselves," Levin said.

Levin had been trying to interview the KKK ringleader, whom he identified as William Quigg, an Anaheim resident. Quigg is the leader of the Loyal White Knights in California and other Western states, a sect of the hate group that aims to raise awareness about illegal immigration, terrorism and street crime, Levin said. They see themselves as a "Klan without robes" and model themselves after David Duke, the Louisiana-based former grand wizard of the Klan, Levin said.

What the Kurds want in Syria after the war

Last week, a day after the Russia and US-brokered agreement on a ceasefire in Syria was announced, the Syrian Kurds' main media outlet published an interview with an official from the Kurdish coalition governing northern Syria. The Kurds, the official said, see federalization as the key to ensuring lasting peace and stability to the country.

On Tuesday, the Hawar News Agency published an interview with Ilham Ahmed, a member of the Executive Council of the Movement for a Democratic Society, the political coalition which governs the de facto autonomous areas of northern Syria collectively referred to as the Rojava.

According to Ahmed, Syria's decentralization is a necessary condition for ending the war, or more specifically, the Syrian government's war with the so-called 'moderate opposition' groups that remain unaffiliated with the Islamist terrorists.

"The comments made in the course of discussions [on Syria's future], including those of foreign representatives, imply the creation of three federal regions in Syria," Ahmed said, according to Russia's Gazeta.ru.

Comment: Federalization seems like the best option. The Americans and Israelis would like to totally balkanize Syria. It looks like perhaps Syria and Russia are using the Anglo-Zionists' own plans against them. If something like this were to go forward, Syria would retain its strength and unity: the very thing Syria's enemies wish to take from it by splitting up the country.

35-year-old Indian man kills 14 members of his family with Butcher's knife

A 35-year-old man killed 14 members of his family including six children with a butcher's knife before committing suicide in India, with police baffled Sunday about a motive for the attack.

The grisly murders occurred after Hasnin Anwar Warekar and his extended family gathered late on Saturday at a home north of India's financial capital of Mumbai for a family function, police officers said.

"The attacker, Hasnin Anwar Warekar, hung himself after slitting the throats of all other family members including his parents," Gajanan Laxman Kabdule, a police spokesman in Thane, some 32 kilometres (20 miles) from Mumbai, said.

Mumbai: Before murders, an unusual dinner invitation

PRELIMINARY investigations into the killing of 14 members of the Warekar family by Hasnain Warekar in the early hours of Sunday indicate that the 35-year-old had planned the killings in detail, said investigators.
...
Thane police officers investigating the crime said Hasnain had invited his three married sisters and their children for a family dinner he was hosting on Saturday night, but had specifically requested that their husbands not accompany them.

"This was highly unusual. Hasnain has hosted several daawats before, but this time he clearly separated the men from their wives," said Ayaz Warekar (38), Hasnain's maternal uncle, who incidentally had been invited to join the celebrations on Sunday following the afternoon namaaz. The occasion was to celebrate the his elder daughter's birthday, who had turned five on Friday.
...
During the course of the investigation, officers were also told that Hasnain had "sedated" his family in the past. "A few years ago, Hasnain gave his sister, his daughter and his parents a solution given to him by a baba. They consumed the drink after dinner and woke up the following afternoon. We panicked when they missed the morning prayers," said Anis Baharanal, a relative who lives in the vicinity. The family was hospitalised upon being woken up.
Hasnain had a golden heart, say neighbours about Thane man who killed 14 family members
...
The neighbours of the family, Mohammad Zain Mohammad Islam said, "The entire family was very decent and a happy go lucky family. Hasnain along with his sisters came to see us last night as he had invited the entire family for a get together, after he returned from the office."
...
Rizwan added, "Such things were never expected from Hasnain as from his childhood, he was very simple and a good person with a closed knit of friends. He used to go office, and offer namaz five times a day. A person who used to feel scared while seeing blood can never make such mistakes."

"Hasnain's father Anwar Warekar (65) was a hard working man who worked earlier with the Vera chemical company in Thane and now was the chief trustee of the Anant Nagar Dargah. He was also an estate agent. Anwar and I were close friends from childhood and he was very proud of his son Hasnain for his innocence and dedication towards his job and family. Hasnain as a child used to come to my place to play and we have seen him growing over all these years. His daughter was his life. It is very hard to believe that he has done this," expressed Rizwan Patel (56), friend of Hasnain's father.

However, the police have not ruled out the angle of property dispute which might have provoked Hasnain commit such a crime, but the relatives of the family said, "It cannot be because of the property dispute. The family was very wealthy and Hasnain's love for his sisters was never ending," added Rizwan Warekar (uncle).

Illegal dumping of nuclear waste in Kentucky landfill

Radioactive drilling waste was illegally dumped at a landfill in Kentucky, according to state officials. Now, they're issuing warnings and investigating how the nuclear waste ended up at the dump site.

State officials confirmed this week that low-level nuclear waste was illegally dumped at the Blue Ridge Landfill in Irvine, Ky., last year.

The material came from rock and brine extracted in oil and gas drilling operations in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The process concentrated naturally-occurring radionuclicides.

The material was further concentrated after being recycled by Fairmont Brine Processing of West Virginia.

Kentucky Division of Waste Management Director Tony Hatton says this is the material that made its way to Irvine between July and November 2015.

State officials say the material came in 47 sealed boxes each with 25 cubic feet of material.

The Blue Ridge Landfill is not equipped to legally handle even this low-level radioactive material. State officials say they are working with landfill managers to see how the material was handled, and whether any workers or others were affected. A middle school and high school are located across Highway 89 from the landfill.

Hatton doubts there is any ongoing exposure at the dumpsite.

"The best we know, the material has been buried since November," Hatton said.
