A 25-year old St. Johns County man was arrested after sending a video of himself having sex with a young pit bull, police said.
A Florida man was arrested for recording himself having the wrong kind of puppy love.

Billy Joseph-Edward Taylor, 25, filmed himself having sexual contact with a young pit bull, and emailed it to his then-girlfriend, the St. Johns County Sheriff's department said. She broke up with him after, and gave the footage to cops last week, police said.

She also found several other files on his computer where he had dirty acts with dogs, police said. Cops arrested Taylor on Tuesday afternoon, and charged him with sexual activities involving animals.

Emergency landing flight AF65 from LAX to Paris.
Two Air France planes flying to Paris from Washington and Los Angeles were forced to divert to Halifax and Salt Lake City respectively. All passengers have been evacuated, while unconfirmed social media reports claim there was a bomb threat and a hijacking attempt.

Air France flight AF55 heading to Paris from Washington, DC was diverted to Halifax due to a security threat. The plane has landed safely and is currently being evacuated, a spokesperson for Halifax Stanfield International Airport told CBC News. A total of 298 passengers and crew are reportedly being guided off the plane in Halifax.

Around the same time, Air France flight AF65 travelling from Los Angeles to Paris was diverted to Salt Lake City due to a bomb threat. Over 400 passengers were evacuated from the plane in Salt Lake City and transported to customs, according to KSL.com. Police are currently searching the aircraft.

Airport officials confirmed that a bomb threat had been made concerning flight AF65, stating that they received a warning after the plane had departed from Los Angeles, KSL.com reported. It is unclear who is responsible for the bomb threat. The FBI is investigating on the scene.

Anonymous hacktivists will independently search for those responsible for the Russian A321 aircraft crash in Egypt, a spokesman for the group said Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, Russian Federal Security Service head Alexander Bortnikov said a homemade explosive device with an equivalent of 1 kilogram of TNT on board the Russian A321 passenger plane was the reason for the accident.

"We will perform actions to reveal who made the attack,"stressed Alex Poucher a self-described member of the Anonymous group.

Anonymous is doing everything possible on the Internet to prevent the recurrence of such terrorist attacks, like a blast on board the Russian plane, Poucher noted.

"We are ready to take steps to counter the attack <...> 200 people have been killed, and no matter what their nationalities were, where they were from. Anonymous will not remain indifferent, won't just watch the attacks that take place in different parts of the world from the outside," he told the RT television channel.

Comment: Well Russia is offering $50 million for information on the plane crash.

Kentucky city allows people to pay parking violations with food bank donations

food bank
For one month in Lexington County, Kentucky, individuals who forgot to feed their parking meter or drove too fast and got a ticket can pay off their fines with canned good donations.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that during the month-long "Food for Fines" program (November 16 - December 18), the city's parking authority will accept cans for citations.

Those who donate 10 canned food items will receive a $15 credit on citations. Customers with multiple citations are only allowed to bring in 10 cans per citation to receive the credits.

All the food will be donated to God's Pantry Food Bank, which will use the items to stock the shelves of its four Lexington locations.

Comment: Poverty and homelessness have exploded in the U.S. and many food banks are often running short of supplies. This is an inspiring program that should be shared in other cities and continued for more than a single month.

Video captures police beating man viciously with batons after he was on the ground

Two Alameda County Sheriff deputies are shown beating a man on a street in San Francisco’s Mission District in a video screen grab.
The Alameda County sheriff launched an investigation Friday after a video showing two deputies tackling and beating a man on the ground in San Francisco's Mission District went public, raising questions whether there was an excessive use of force.

The San Francisco Public Defender's office released the video Friday night after witnesses to the arrest contacted them with concerns. Public Defender Jeff Adachi said the two deputies clearly used excessive force in an encounter that was "reminiscent of Rodney King."

The video shows the deputies chasing after a man at the corner of Clinton Park and Stevenson Street at about 2:05 a.m. Thursday. One deputy jumps on the man, knocking him down, and goes on to punch him twice while he was still on the ground.

He gets off as the second deputy pulls out his baton, and uses it to strike the man on the head. The video jumps 10 seconds to both deputies using their batons on the man as he struggled on his knees and screamed for help.

The video jumps once more to show the man on his knees with his hands on his head, and one deputy pushing him to the ground so he and the other deputy could continue hitting him with their batons.

Teen files lawsuit against cop who assaulted her after she stood up to him assaulting her sister

A federal civil rights lawsuit filed Thursday accuses a Sonoma County sheriff's deputy of using excessive force against a recent Petaluma High School graduate when he allegedly grabbed the 115-pound teen by the neck and threw her onto a concrete driveway, grinding her face into the ground with a knee to the back of her head.

Deputy Marcus Holton assaulted and arrested Gabbi Lemos, 18, after she complained about how he was treating her sister, actions that violated both her constitutional right against police brutality and her right to free speech, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.

The lawsuit, which seeks unspecific damages, names Sheriff Steve Freitas, the county and Holton as defendants.

Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Sgt. Cecile Focha defended Holton's actions during the June 13 incident, which was recorded on the deputy's body camera. Holton continues to work full time as a patrol deputy.

"All of our deputies, including Deputy Holton, behaved with restraint and professionalism during a highly volatile situation," Focha said.


Comment: This is another clear case of a cop totally overreacting to someone standing up for their rights. To most cops, the population no longer has any rights. They respond to anyone who thinks they do by assaulting them. This poor girl has been traumatized, and all because an angry cop is allowed to brutally beat someone half his size and the department supports him. The cop and the department deserve to be sued for their brutal tactics.

A plane was evacuated at Baltimore-Washington International Airport, and four passengers who appeared to be Muslim were searched, after someone reported seeing one of them watching what they believed to be a video from the self-proclaimed Islamic State terror group.

Three men and a woman were removed from the Spirit Airlines plane, which was about to take off to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, when a female passenger was seen watching a video that another passenger deemed "suspicious."

"A passenger alerted a flight attendant of a passenger engaged in suspicious activity on board," a source told Reuters. The plane had not yet taken off, and returned to the gate. All passengers were evacuated

Comment: So if you are watching news and are Muslim 'looking' beware of freaked out passengers.
