Do we not have judges and juries anymore? Are police the entire "justice system" now? With "justice" being served out of the barrel of a gun?

Via RT:

An armed robbery in Phoenix, Arizona has ended with police fatally shooting a suspect on live television.

In the aftermath of a raid on a Credit Union West branch on Tuesday, a number of local TV stations, including NBC 12 News and Fox 10 Phoenix, were broadcasting dramatic live footage of the chase when the disturbing events unfolded.

Video of the moment police used deadly force has now emerged online. It shows officers in three unmarked SUVs carrying out what is known as a 'PIT maneuver' - or precision immobilization technique - to ensnare the getaway vehicle.

Segregation or sanctuary? Black-only university housing draws criticism

Some are calling it segregation and a step backwards, while others say it's a boost for the black student population. At Cal State Los Angeles, a new housing program opens up dorms for black students who want to be separated from the rest of the campus.

The housing option is generating criticism on social media. The campus is setting aside 20 spots in their 192 unit dorm complex for African-American students and others who share similar interests or concerns.

A similar housing option is available at UC Davis.

"I think we should support different communities wanting to be together, but there shouldn't be specific White or Black or Asian dormitories," says UC Davis student Teresa Chylkova.

Comment: More from The College Fix:

The arrangement comes roughly nine months after the university's Black Student Union issued a set of demands in response to what its members contend are frequent "racist attacks" on campus, such as "racially insensitive remarks" and "microaggressions" by professors and students. One demand was for a "CSLA housing space delegated for Black students."

Cal State LA joins UConn, UC Davis and Berkeley in offering segregated housing dedicated to black students. While these housing options are technically open to all students, they're billed and used as arrangements in which black students can live with one another.

Meanwhile, at Cal State LA, campus leaders took down much of the online information on the new housing that it posted in late July. And university housing officials and other campus officials rebuffed requests by The College Fix for more details.

If campus leaders are proud of the new housing, they appear disinclined to talk about it.

CSULA's Housing Services page offers one paragraph on the new black living-learning community, calling it an effort to "enhance the residential experience for students who are a part of or interested in issues of concern to the black community living on campus by offering the opportunity to connect with faculty and peers, and engage in programs that focus on academic success, cultural awareness, and civic engagement."

In addition to the Black Student Union's housing demand, the group also demanded a $30 million dollar scholarship endowment to aid black students, three new black faculty counselors, a new anti-discrimination policy and cultural competency course for faculty and students, and finally, a meeting with the president for them to discuss the "fulfillment and implementation of each demand."

Segregation or integration? Danish school says 'ethnic quota' in classes helps locals stay

A school in Denmark has been criticized for limiting the number of students from ethnic minorities in several classes. According to the headmaster, while the benchmark would select "Danish-sounding" names, the policy actually aims at better integration.

The controversial measure was introduced in Langkær upper secondary school near Aarhus, the second-largest city in Denmark.

The first-year students in the school were organized into seven classes. Three of the classes had special quotas - 50 percent of students should be of Danish background and 50 percent could be ethnic minorities. The four other classes consist solely of students with immigrant backgrounds.

Real French people are 'European, white & Catholic' claims far-right mayor Robert Ménard

A far-right mayor in France has made headlines for his anti-Muslim rhetoric once again, saying that being French means being "European, white, and Catholic." Now, an anti-racism organization has announced it is taking legal action against the politician.

Robert Ménard, the far-right mayor of the southern French town of Béziers, told French news channel LCI that being French means, "in the words of Charles De Gaulle, being European, white and Catholic."

He went on to complain that 91 percent of children in some French schools are Muslim.

"Naturally, that is a problem," he said, adding that there are "thresholds in tolerance."

Responding to the mayor's inflammatory comments, anti-racism organization LICRA announced on Twitter that it has submitted a complaint to the Prosecutor's Office, accusing Ménard of hate speech.

A twisted case of incestuous marriage between a mother and daughter, who tied the knot before unsuspecting Oklahoma officials, has landed the two behind bars after they were arrested for having lived as a couple for nearly half a year.

Patricia, 43, and Misty Spann, 25, got married on March 25 and received their certificate four days after that, officially approving their union in the city of Duncan.

This story could have been a random case for local authorities, except it was not between just the two women, but a mother and her biological daughter.

They managed to live as newlyweds until August, when the truth surface during a routine investigation by Department of Human Services to check on children dwelling in Spann's house.

Russia's state-of-the-art Special Forces training center based in Chechnya will invite US and other international instructors to help counter-terrorism units from China, the UAE, Kazakhstan, and Belarus sharpen their shooting and hostage rescue skills.

The sophisticated training facility in the southern Russian city of Gudermes is to be officially opened this autumn, but it has already attracted much attention from elite counter-terrorism units from all over the world, said Daniil Martynov, the head of the Chechen Republic's aide in charge of law enforcement agencies.

"We will invite US-based private experts with experience in, say, shooting training, to conduct workshops," Martynov told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.

"We collect the best [training] practices from all across the world and then integrate them at our center," he added.

Michelle Oquendo is holding her son Prince a little tighter after a scary bus mishap, on what was supposed to be his first day of kindergarten. "He was so excited. So excited," said Oquendo. I have pictures of him. He was ready to go."

The 5-year-old ended up spending four and a half hours alone on the school bus in 85-degree temperatures after his bus driver neglected to drop him off at Monocacy Elementary Center.

"I cried myself to sleep," Prince said. No one knew he was still on the bus until Oquendo called the school when the bus did not drop him off at noon. New Rhoads Transportation staff then checked the bus, which was sitting in the company lot. "It was traumatizing to me. He was hot, sweaty. He didn't even know who I was at first," she said.

Daniel Boone Area School District Superintendent James Harris says the transportation company, contracted by the school district, immediately terminated the bus driver. "Generally, the drivers check for backpacks, water bottles. The driver didn't do that," said Harris. He adds that the district dropped the ball as well by not calling Oquendo when her son was marked as absent.

A woman accused of setting two blankets and a control panel on fire during a jetBlue flight to Puerto Rico has been arrested by the FBI.

The woman, identified as Idializ Gomez, used a lighter to burn the items during a flight on Tuesday that departed from New York, the agency said on Wednesday.

She was taken into custody and charged with destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities after landing in the southern coastal town of Ponce.

Gomez had boarded Flight 745 from John F Kennedy International Airport on Tuesday at approximately 12.43am, according to the FBI.

During the flight she used a lighter 'to ignite and successfully damage two blankets and a portion of the in-flight control panel of the seat next to hers,' the agency said.

After the plane landed at Mercedita International Airport in Ponce at approximately 4.31am, she was detained by police before being placed in FBI custody.

Get your morning buzz! Vibrator alarm clock offering orgasmic wake-up call sells out

An ingenious new contraption that combines an alarm clock with a sex toy has proved so popular, the company that produces it has run out of stock.

The British-made Little Rooster, designed to wake women up by replacing the much-hated alarm bell with pleasurable vibrations, will not be available until at least October.

Sex trainer Charlotte Rose told RT that she believes this could help women suffering from certain sexual issues. She said "This looks like a great little device for women who may be suffering from low libido due to natural events such as menopause."

Priced at £69 ($92), the buzzing plastic gadget is meant to be placed in the user's underwear overnight. When it goes off, it will throb and vibrate until switched off. The vibrations, which begin gently then increase in intensity, are said to provide users with a gentle wake up call.

"Lust for possession and greed has ravaged the soul of humanity like a great cancer, metastasizing throughout society in the form of a nouveau post-human, consumer hedonism."

Composer Brian Eno, BDS supporter, refuses to let Israeli dance company use his music

Composer, who backs boycott of Israeli government, says Batsheva cannot use his music at embassy-sponsored event

The composer and producer Brian Eno has denied permission for one of Israel's most critically acclaimed dance companies to continue using his music for a series of performances in Italy after he discovered that the Israeli embassy was sponsoring the event.

Eno, 68, who started his career with Roxy Music but has latterly become known for his ambient music compositions, said he had not been aware his music was being used in a piece by the Batsheva dance company.

Eno, a prominent supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign aimed at Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories, wrote to the dance company this week to deny them permission to use his music.

Eno is also one of 1,700 artists who have signed the Artists' Pledge for Palestine, refusing funding from or cultural contacts with Israel's government.

Comment: Both Brian Eno and Roger Waters have bravely spoken out against the apartheid Israeli regime.
