[MKE] Photo Journalist Wrongfully Arrested At #OccupyMKE Protest

Kristyna Wentz-Graff, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel photographer was wrongfully arrested by MPD while covering a protest last week, even though her badge credentials were clearly visible. However, at the time, the officers were too focused on the job at hand to see her ID, which was their excuse for the erroneous arrest. Hopefully, young people aren’t denied their right to vote even though they have their IDs!!!

I can’t think any other instances where the cops overdid their job like this. Sike! I can’t even count them all on one hand.

Police State

I am asking myself why in the world the nation is not pissed about what is taking place on the streets of Columbus, Ohio. I think I might have just discovered the answer.

In the past month, six black men have been shot by police in Columbus, and three of those gunshot wounds proved to be fatal. While this crushing reality is certainly on the minds and on the Facebook statuses of plenty of Columbus residents, it just isn’t getting the national coverage it would seem to merit. Just as I was beginning to think that America has forgotten about us, I realized that it is not the headline of national news because people around the country are too busy ducking fists and bullets from their local law enforcement to be concerned about what is going on in little old Ohio.

New York Facebook Undercover!

The NYPD is on Facebook and for a very specific reason. So much for mob meetings that stem from Facebook. Oh and no more bragging about the lick you just hit to your friends. They’re prepared to put a stop to that. They’re gonna, most likely, find the hippest young cop on the squad and sit them down at a desk and peak in on your conversations with hopes that they understand the lingo enough. Hopefully, the criminals on Facebook are smart enough to at least use lingo when broadcasting a crime. They ususally aren’t.

Changing Lanes: Iverson’s Cop Troubles

A 2002 mug shot of Allen Iverson.

The past two years have been extremely rocky for former NBA superstar Allen Iverson. After leaving the Memphis Grizzles and rejoining the 76ers A.I.’s personal life has been under the microscope. March 30 just added to the madness.

As rush hour was dying down close to the 6 p.m. hour, Iverson’s gray Lamborghini was pulled over for changing lanes without using turn signals. Iverson was a passenger and the driver Antwuan Clisby was unable to produce any documentation for the Lambo and continued to tell the officer on duty that his passenger (Iverson) needed to leave the scene to eat dinner. Once the officer denied Clisby’s wish, Iverson became “irate.”

Find out what Iverson said to police…
