Remember the movie where four women who appeared to have come across some very trying times attempted to rob banks? The first two were successful but the last attempt got the majority of them killed? Yea, the same movie where Queen Latifah was King! Some movies are based on true stories and some stories are based on true movies… SEE VIDEO INSIDE!!!!
In the words of our LA homie, Kali Akuno…
In the two years since Oscar Grant was killed, Oakland and Bay Area police have continued their reign of violence against our communities. This People’s Hearing on Racism and Police Violence will finally be a chance for our communities to speak out on these issues. GET YOUR INVITATION INSIDE!!!
If you come to Milwaukee and you’re looking for a place to shop, Mayfair Mall is one of the few appealing options. It’s located in Wauwatosa, a suburban city within Milwaukee County. The population is approximately fifty thousand. The racial makeup of the city was 93.97% White, 2.04% African American, according to the 2004 Census Estimate. Well those same people were scared to death this weekend as a gang of majority black, Milwaukee youth filled up the Village of Tosa’s Mall and began to act unruly. “Give us, gangmembers, something to do then”, shouts our youth everytime something like this occurs. I don’t condone mob meet-ups and shooting firearms in any public setting, but I know that it goes on everyday in my hood. Tosa and Milwaukee aren’t that far from each other. Why should they feel more safe over there than where we are? CONTINUE READING, LEAVE A COMMENT!!
Did you know that the freeway was being held up because of a alleged hostage situation? Of course, you did. It was all over the news and if you were on the Freeway, you were one of the thousands going nowhere, grabbing snickers. TMJ4, Milwaukee’s #1 source for…blah, blah, blah, has the video, here.

Neill Franklin is a 33 year veteran and former training commander of the Maryland State Police and Baltimore Police Department who has broken from the pack to educate the public on ways to avoid horrible interactions with the Police. Quoting Franklin:
I believe all citizens should understand how to protect their constitutional rights and make smart decisions when dealing with officers of the law.
Franklin believes passionately in the public’s right to protect itself, which led him to serve as technical consultant on a new film called, simply, 10 Rules for Dealing With Police. Check the whole article @ Alternet but I figured I’d copy the ten rules for a quick read:
1. Always be calm and cool: a bad attitude guarantees a bad outcome.
2. Remain silent: what you don’t say can’t hurt you.
3. You have the right to refuse searches: saying no to searches can’t be held against you.
