Caught on video beating a handcuffed man without provocation, a Louisiana cop was recently fired and arrested nearly five months after the incident. According to Gretna Police Chief Arthur Lawson Jr., his department had no knowledge of the needless beating until last month during an internal inquiry.

On April 22, a security camera video captured Officer Robert Wallow approaching a burglary suspect lying on the ground with his hands behind his head. After holstering his gun, Officer Wallow dragged Carlos Gustavo Pineda across the pavement before repeatedly punching him in the head for no apparent reason.

Despite the fact that Pineda never resisted nor fought back, Wallow immediately kicked him in the ribs after handcuffing the compliant suspect. While stepping on Pineda's back, Wallow pulled out his firearm and aimed it at the suspect's back while appearing to illegally question him.

A Neo-Nazi group which celebrates the evil concentration camp crimes of Dr Josef Mengele is publicizing a PR stunt in which it set up a food bank in Glasgow, Scotland, for "whites only."

National Action, who recently held a 'Miss Hitler' contest, teamed up with a Polish fascist group to run a "whites only" food bank for homeless people on Saturday night.

Anti-racism campaigners accused the fascist group of taking advantage of vulnerable people in a bid to spread a campaign of hate and division.

The extreme right-wing youth group emerged from the far right in 2013. It boasts of being "more radical than the BNP [British National Party]" and targets students and universities in the UK for members.

A suspicious device found in a trash can near a train station exploded early Monday as a bomb squad was attempting to disarm it with a robot, officials said.

Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage said the FBI was working to disarm one of five devices found in the same bag in a trash can by two men at around 8:30 p.m. Sunday near the Elizabeth train station. The men had reported seeing wires and a pipe coming out of the package, Bollwage said.

There was no immediate report of injuries or damage. The mayor warned that other explosions were expected.


Armed with a search warrant, FBI agents and police converged on an apartment above a fried chicken restaurant near the train station before 6 a.m. Monday. The apartment is linked to a man wanted for questioning in Saturday night's New York City bombing, which injured 29.

A gunnman first ambushed a Philadelphia police sergeant late Friday night and then went on a shooting rampage killing a young woman and wounding two law enforcement officers and three other civilians before police shot him to death.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross identified the gunman Saturday as 25-year-old Nicholas Glenn, of West Philadelphia.

The shooting rampage started about 11:18 p.m. when Glenn walked up to a marked police cruiser at 52nd and Sansom Streets and just began firing, police said.

Sgt. Sylvia Young, 46, who was sitting inside the car, was shot several times after Glenn fired off 18 shots, Ross said at a Saturday afternoon news conference. Her gun was hit as well. A 19-year veteran assigned to North Philadelphia's 22d Police District, Young on Friday was working with a task force in West Philadelphia.

She and another officer, who was later shot - University of Pennsylvania officer Eddie Miller, 56, a former Philadelphia police sergeant who joined Penn's force two years ago - were both in stable condition Saturday at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a 7-year-old boy who was a victim of unnecessary and cruel punishment at the hands of a school cop. Kaylb Wiley Primm, who is now 9, was yanked out of class, forced into handcuffs and shoved down the hall — for crying.

Children cry, it is what they do and Kaylb is no different. After he'd been bullied, Kaylb started crying just as the officer was walking by the classroom. Instead of allowing the teacher to simply calm Kaylb down, this hero public servant yanked the child out into the hallway. He then handcuffed him and dragged him to the principal's office where he'd sit for 15 minutes in handcuffs waiting on his mother.

According to the police officer's account, which sounds like any number of justifications for police violence, the child had been "out of control in his classroom and refused to follow my directions."

Apparently unable to calm down a 3′ 10″ 45 lb child, this officer violated Kaylb's right to be free from unreasonable seizures and excessive force, according to the lawsuit.

"Our children need trained and concerned figures in schools that know how to intervene. It's not okay to abuse your authority and handcuff kids as a means of discipline," said Tomesha Primm, Kalyb's mother. "As a parent, I want to make sure no other child - in Kansas City or anywhere else in the country - experiences what my son did."

When she got to school, Primm was horrified, as any parent would be, when she saw her little boy in handcuffs after being assaulted by a police officer.

"I couldn't believe it because I couldn't imagine they were allowed to do anything like that, or I would never have put him in there," said Primm. "He knew he didn't do anything wrong. He didn't know if the man was going to take him to jail."

"This child committed no crime, threatened no one, and posed no danger to anyone," said ACLU of Missouri Legal Director Tony Rothert. "Gratuitously handcuffing children is cowardly and violates the constitution."

After this incident, Kalyb was too scared to return to school, so Primm made the wise decision to pull him from the school as she was concerned for his safety. She homeschooled her son for the next two years.

According to the ACLU, this incident also violated state policy, which says that the use of restraints for elementary and secondary students should be used only in extreme circumstances or emergencies.

Body cameras should hold police accountable when questions about excessive force are raised — or they would, unless you're the Oakland Police, who managed to delete a quarter of five years of footage the department had stored during a software upgrade two years ago.

Considering Oakland had been one of the first departments in the country to outfit officers with body cams beginning in 2009, the quantity of irretrievable footage constitutes a tremendous loss.

Sgt. David Burke revealed the astonished flub as he testified Tuesday in the trial of two men accused of murdering Judy Salamon in 2013. Though body cam footage represented only a minor facet of that case, the revelation nonetheless evidences pitfalls common with fledgling technology.

"Nothing should have ever been lost from the system," Burke told the court, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "The settings were set to never delete."

However, human error — not the technology, itself — was responsible for the vanishing the recordings.

Deputy District Attorney Butch Ford, prosecutor in the Salamon murder trial, told the court information technology workers attempting an upgrade of the police department's computer system — that stores 'dozens of terabytes of the body-worn camera footage' — checked the wrong box.

Instead of hitting "preserve everything," Ford explained, the hapless workers chose only "preserve."

Two vessels with all-female crews set sail for Gaza from Spain on Wednesday in an attempt to break the nine-year Israeli blockade on the coastal Mediterranean strip. The "Women's Boat to Gaza" is the fourth of its kind, captained by women-only, with 30 female activists and high-ranking officials aboard the Arabic-named Zaytouna ("Olive") and the Amal ("hope").

The organization said in a statement the boats are on a course to pierce Israel's maritime control over Gaza's borders, and in doing so, raise awareness of conditions inside of the Strip.

"While our focus is on opposing the blockade against the Palestinian people of Gaza, we see this in the larger context of supporting the right to freedom of movement for all Palestinians," the group said on their website. "The Occupation daily violates the rights of Palestinians to move freely around their country and to leave and return to their country, as guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."

Russian nationals trying to cast their votes in Sunday's general election faced obstacles in Ukraine, where nationalists attempted to block the Russian Embassy and Consulates. On the eve of the election, the embassy was attacked with fireworks.

The Russian diplomatic missions in Ukraine have been targeted with several attacks by radical nationalists over the past few years. On Sunday, while citizens living in Russia exercised their right to vote for MPs and heads of several regions, the Russian Embassy in Kiev turned into a site of violent confrontation.

Embassy security was bolstered with an additional fence and metal shutters over the windows ahead of the election. Top Ukrainian officials and nationalist politicians condemned the election because it includes Crimea, the predominantly Russian former Ukrainian region that voted to break away from Kiev after an armed coup in 2013 imposed an anti-Russia government.

One week after collapsing at the 9/11 Memorial Ceremony it appears that Americans are unconvinced that Hillary's health problems are limited to pneumonia which may spell trouble for the candidate in November.

A new YouGov poll released this week provides troubling news on the health and well-being of the Clinton candidacy based in large part to the physical ails of Hillary herself with opinions on whether the former Secretary of State is physically able to perform the duties of the presidency hitting an all-time low.

The nationwide survey of 1000 respondents with a margin of error of 4.6% showed that only 39% of people responded that Hillary's health is "good enough" to "serve effectively as president for the next four years" suggesting that the candidate has broken through the floor on a major question of her viability.

"What a horrible book. I got brain damage after 4 pages and lost my shoe"

With health concerns mounting, email leaks hurting, and poll numbers tumbling, Hillary Clinton has had a tough couple weeks (poor thing)... but the news just got a little worse as Hillary's newest book, "Stronger Together," which provides a policy blueprint for where she hopes to take the country if she is elected president, sold just 2,912 copies in its first week on sale, according to Nielsen BookScan.

As The New York Times reports, both Mrs. Clinton and her running mate, Senator Tim Kaine, have promoted the book on the campaign trail, but the sales figure, which tallies about 80 percent of booksellers nationwide and does not include e-books, firmly makes the book what the publishing industry would consider a flop.
