[Video] 5 Year Old Get Shot 4 Times and Survives!!!

“The violence has got to stop” says a woman who appears to be the grandmother of the 5-year-old young man in the video after the jump. The boy recently survived a drive by shooting after being struck 4 times.

I can’t help but think of 5-year-old kids in other neighborhoods that have the same encounters and then others in other communities where that isn’t a thought so much that if it was to happen, it would just be devastating. Obviously, the news didn’t even want to cover it because they switched to Tiger Woods. Fuck Tiger Woods! He’s stealing the air time with his antics. I thought we solved that case…didn’t his girl leave? On to the next one! What about the lil homie Terrance, that could possibly grow up and be Tiger Woods if he could escape random gunfire near his residency? *wishful thinking* … Continue Reading

Las Vegas Teens Gunned Down, High Crime Areas Not Being Patrolled

Clark County Metro gang unit is currently investigating a Las Vegas Valley shooting. Tuesday, three teens were gunned down at a Winchester Community and Community Center, injuring two boys and one girl. Clark County Police Department says that the shooting could have been prevented, however, the area had not been patrolled for gang activity since April.

In Las Vegas there are not enough metro officers to police the streets and all the areas where crime occurs. Also, metro police officers respond to their own service calls instead of other areas, therefore, many locations are not patrolled, particularly parks.

Clark County Park Police Association President Tim Polk told ABC Action News that violent incidents have increased in Clark County parks and the association’s 15 employees no longer patrol those areas.

Unfortunately, that means more youth being gunned down and dying in the streets because of lack of enforcement and patrol.

Authorities are currently looking for at least two suspects and say that there is a good chance the shooting was gang related.

Police Try to Shut Down LYVEF’s Voter Reg Efforts in Atl!

Today, LYVEF and Lady Cartel affiliates went out to the Georgia Department of Labor on MLK Drive to bring awareness about the upcoming 2010 election by a voter registration campaign we started called the “Party with a Purpose Campaign”. The “Party with a Purpose Campaign” is a direct campaign to get young citizens, ages 18-29, to vote by targeting places that they are showing record numbers at such as unemployment offices, nightlife events, concerts, etc.

This act of what we are doing brings excitement and a sense of humility to me as an active young voter motivating others. I feel great knowing I can influence and encourage others to know that they can have a voice, and it will be heard. At first, I was scared because I didn’t know how these Georgia residents would react to our outreach, but I am pleased to say, we had a great response from this community. . .until the police came.

This was extremely challenging because these are the first days of our campaign and we never expected to be hit with this. I was shocked that we were informed to move away from the property, because we were influencing voters to vote Democrat or Republican. Un-true!! We are within our rights to converse about our youth getting registered to vote, so we have a choice in our future; today we had that choice taken away from us, by the law. So the question is, How can we get young voters to understand that this is way bigger than what we think?

Well, one set-back won’t hold us back. As a young voter I will continue to spread the word and influence my community that voting is not just old people that don’t want to see our point of views, and can’t relate to our problems. I say we can be heard and our vote does matter.

Cop Absolutely Butchers National Anthem And Makes Up Lyrics!! [Video]

As I watch this video, a few points cross my mind: Very few people know the lyrics to the National Anthem and cery few people take ownership of the meaning of the song enough to stop a man that’s obviously singing it wrong. We’ll laugh at em before correcting em.

Editorial: “I am Oscar Grant” by CJ Jenkins

At the same time King James was preparing to tell the world where he would be playing basketball next year, the jury in the Oscar Grant trial was busy making their decision. And their message rang loud and clear! Former BART police officer Johannes Mehserle was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for killing Oscar Grant, although many closest to the case felt that Mehserle should have been charged with second degree murder.

I am hurt, saddened and feeling like the life of a black male is worthless in the eyes of America’s judicial system.

Cops Raid Home! Bust In Guys House & Shoots 2 Of His Caged Dogs.

Ahh, this brings back memories. This literally happened to me before. The Milwaukee Police Dept sent their S.W.A.T. team to my house/studio, searching for someone that didn’t live there but had been there the previous day. Instead of them asking and knocking politely, they shot a flash bomb into my living room injuring my cat and destroyingthe front and back doors of my home hoping to find the drugs and guns they assumed I possessed. Their warrant was present but presented at then end of the Raid instead of the beginning which would’ve made a major difference. They ended up walking out with my 2 pitts and rottweiler, 2 registered guns, and no suspects.

It’s times like these that remind you of how careless police can be. This is why some people say, “Fuck The Police”. It’s not their jobs to shoot innocent dogs and cats. That’s taking your job too damn serious, don’t you think? I’m still kinda salty, so, I can relate to the brother below.

8 Houston Police Officers caught on camera beating 15 year old boy

Chad Holley, a 15 year old high school sophomore was allegedly beaten while cuffed by 8 Houston Police Officers. The incident took place March 24th and in a little over a month’s time a video has surfaced that shows the incident and Holley looking as if he was not resisting arrest in any way. According to the Houston Police Department, the eight officers were suspended with pay while the department’s internal affairs division investigates.  As HPD internal investigations continue, the FBI has requested to see the video of the alleged assault which could ensure that the “good ole boy” protection ring is broken and justice will be served for Mr. Holley. While it encourages me that the alphabet boys (the FBI) have placed interest on the incident, my heart goes out to all the young people who get caught in police brutality and it not caught on video. Their stories and faces mostly go unseen and untold. When I look at the news video I see the face of Chad Holley — I also see 99problems with what has happened to him, the hurt spilling from his soul is just one.
