Just Messy! Laura Govan Says She And Sister Gloria ‘Really Don’t Have A Relationship’

Excerpt from:

Source: Paul Archuleta / Getty When it co mes to the bond between Laura Govan and Gloria Govan ,  it appears that sisterly love is long gone . In a recent interview on The  Domenick Nati Show ,  the former Basketball Wives star said she and her baby sis are not in the best place. “ We really don’t have much of a sister relationship. But here’s how we work, we keep it really tight for our children…Our kids play together all the time. They love each other. I think we’ll keep it at that, for the meantime.” We’re not 100 percent sure what’s behind the fracture in their once close relationship , but as we  previously reported , Laura revealed on an episode of Iyanla: Fix My Life that she believed her trifling ex-husband Gilbert Arenas  once slept with Gloria . Welp! In addition to spilling the tea on her sister , the 37-year-old  mother of four also shared with Nat her thoughts on Jackie Christie and Evelyn Lozada’s  current  feud about Jackie’s daughter Takari Lee . “I think [Jackie] said enough. Either fix it or move on, if you’re going to help your daughter, be in your daughter’s life then shouldn’t be out on social media.” Govan also ad mitted that she’s been approached about coming back to the VH1 hit show, but she’ll only consider it if the coin was “pretty.” That, and if they let her serve as a mentor to an up and coming cast member. “The talk is there but I don’t think so. I think that at this point in my life, if I can go on there to be somebody’s mentor I’ll do that [but] not so much just to talk crap [and] banter. Nah, that’s really not my life anymore.” She added: “I would wreak havoc, in the sense of, ’Get your s–t together, you look dumb. You sit down, you have a seat. You, comb your hair more. Get it together.’” No shade: But Laura is far fro m having her own life together,  so how is she going to provide guidance and help to so meone else? Just saying.

‘We Only Kill Black People:’ Georgia Cop Fired

Read the rest here:

A dash cam video has emerged of a police officer making racially charged remarks in reference to police violence. The video shows Lt. Greg Abbott of the Cobb County (Georgia) Police Department asking a woman to pick up her phone during a DUI stop. The woman said she’s afraid to put her hands down because she’s “seen too many videos of cops.” “But you’re not Black,” Abbott says on  video . “Remember we only shoot Black people. Yeah. We kill Black people right?” An internal investigation was opened on Aug. 25 and Abbott has been assigned to administrative duties pending the outcome of the investigation. Cobb County police chief Mike Register denounced the incident, saying that “no matter what context it was said, it shouldn’t have been said.” “We’re not making any excuses,” Register added. “We’re meeting this head-on and we’re going to deal with it.” As expected, Abbott’s attorney issued a statement via WSB-TV Atlanta that was dismissive of the response to his client’s words: “Lt. Greg Abbott is a highly respected 28-year veteran of the Cobb County Police Department.  He is cooperating with the department’s internal investigation and will continue to do so. His comments will be observed in their totality to understand their context. He was attempting to de-escalate a situation involving an uncooperative passenger. In context, his comments were clearly aimed at attempting to gain compliance by using the passenger’s own statements and reasoning to avoid making an arrest.” Those in positions of power, like Register’s, know these racist, violent systems exist as much as we do. Many of them wouldn’t have a job if it wasn’t for the blood shed by Black and brown bodies. It’s only when someone says it out loud that it then becomes a problem. You can watch the video below.

Family Guy Mocked Trayvon Martin

Let’s be real: Family Guy hasn’t been funny in damn near a decade. And when you’re not funny, you run the risk of offending people. The latest Family Guy episode features a story of Peter Griffin starting a Neighborhood Watch program, gets a gun and eventually shoots his friend’s Black son in the middle of the night. The story parallels the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman story and it has huge racial overtones. Unfortunately, the episode didn’t handle the topic with any sort of intelligence or cleverness. Instead, it focused on Peter Griffin and how shooting a Black kid affected him. In the end, Cleveland actually takes the damn blame for the shooting of his own son and it leads to nobody paying attention because “the media doesn’t care about Black-on-Black crime.” The insinuation here is that the media sensationalizes White-on-Black crime because it’s a catchy story, which is a cop-out and lets the White killers off the hook. And the idea of the Black man actually taking the blame for it and sacrificing himself for the White guy isn’t lost on us, either. Look, we know it’s Family Guy and “it’s not that serious” but they didn’t even try to make a good point or even present anything remotely comical or satirical. It was just another example of a dying, lame unfunny show grasping at straws. Usually when that happens, Black pain is the target. We would say “don’t watch Family Guy anymore” but let’s be real: we didn’t even realize this show was still on the air.

Guilty Conscious? Virginia Cop Commits Suicide As Police Try To Arrest Him For Child Molestation

Virginia Police Officer Commits Suicide Over Allegations Of Child Molestation Sure, whatever, not ALL cops…but there are some (probably more than most people would like to publicly admit) absolutely disgusting human beings who are undeservedly bestowed the honor of a gun and badge on a daily basis. David E. Abbott Jr. was one of those people. Emphasis on WAS… Via WashingtonPost A Manassas City police detective, who was the lead investigator in a controversial teen “sexting” case last year, shot and killed himself outside his home Tuesday morning as police tried to arrest him for allegedly molesting two boys he met while coaching youth hockey in Prince William County. David E. Abbott Jr., 39, was a member of the Northern Virginia-Washington D.C. Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and had been an officer on the Manassas City force for 14 years. In his spare time he coached 13- and 14-year-old boys in travel hockey for the Potomac Patriots program at the Prince William Ice Center in Woodbridge, club officials said. When Prince William police learned Monday of the allegations of improper contact by Abbott over a period of years, they moved quickly. Police said they learned that Abbott had sent inappropriate text messages and emails to a 13-year-old boy he met through the hockey program. By phone and social media, Abbott had been asking the boy for sex acts for more than two years, county police said. Detectives then learned of a second potential victim, a boy who was 13 and was also part of the Patriots hockey club in 2008 when Abbott began sending him inappropriate messages, police said. Early Tuesday, Prince William police obtained a search warrant for Abbott’s townhouse on Senea Drive in Gainesville, where he lived with his mother. Police also obtained four felony arrest warrants — two counts of indecent liberties by a custodian and two counts of use of a communication device to solicit a sexual offense. He got off REAL easy with that suicide. Damn shame really Image via Manassas City PD

Christmas Abbott: NASCAR Pit Crew Badass!

Christmas Abbott is totally badass. The NASCAR pit crew member with the unusual name is making quite a name for herself, for a variety of reasons. Basically, she’s smoking hot, covered in tattoos, served the U.S. in Iraq and does a job few women could physically handle – all at 5’3″ and 115 pounds! Danica Patrick, for all her abilities, is Christmas Abbott, a 31-year-old with a gun inked on her hip who can squat a stunning 255 pounds … “currently.” She’s working on upping that figure. Last week, the war veteran signed on as a NASCAR pit crew member in the Camping World Truck Series, where she’ll change tires for driver Jennifer Jo Cobb. She also will be in Clint Bowyer’s pit for Sunday’s Daytona 500 – where Patrick has the pole position, it’s worth noting – in preparation for future pit work. Christmas Abbott will be on hand shadowing the Michael Waltrip Racing crew in anticipation of a potential “over the wall” assignment down the line. Anyone who doubts whether Abbott has what it takes to survive in the pits of this demanding and male dominated world had best not count her out. “I have to get dirty and [travel] overnight,” Abbott said. “NASCAR fans are die-hard and they will call out your B.S. I want to go to the highest level.” Check out more Christmas Abbott photos from November’s Inked below. The avid Cross Fit enthusiast is clearly quite comfortable with her physique:
