London Police Chief Admits Force Targets Black Men To Make Their Arrest Quotas

London Police Target Black Men To Boost Arrests Just in case you thought police targeting Black and Brown people was a uniquely American issue…just know that brothers and sisters in the UK are going through it as well. Via RT : Metropolitan Police officers “routinely discriminate against black people” in stop-and-search operations in the British capital, according to Scotland Yard’s new head of diversity. Speaking to the Evening Standard, Victor Olisa said it is accepted practice in the force to stop young black men to try and boost arrest rates for drugs such as cannabis, while officers turned a blind eye to white men who may be carrying cocaine. Olisa, 57, one of Scotland Yard’s most senior black officers, said the discrimination was driven by performance, rather than racism. If drugs were found, the officer would repeat the same process to get the results, he said. “You end up building a process and a stereotype. The cop on the ground is just doing it because of what he or she thinks is right, they are not doing it because they are racist. “But when you look at the accumulated data you see massive disproportionality. I think that’s where we get lost.” He said officers should continue to carry out stop-and-search based on intelligence and “be able to explain as an individual why you stopped Joe Bloggs.” The Black Lives Matter movement, which formally launched in the UK this year, says black people are 37 percent times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people and three times more likely to be arrested by white people. Black people have been overrepresented by more than a factor of two for deaths in police custody since 1998, it says. SMH!!! Wish we could say we were at all shocked to read this one…but it seems that the fight to get officials to realize that Black Lives Matter is a worldwide one. Creative Commons

Petty Alert: Rihanna Had Rita Slora Exiled To The Cheap Seat During The MTV VMAs Over This

Rihanna Had Rita Ora Exiled To The Cheap Seat During The VMAs Last year we reported that iconic bad gyal Rihanna reportedly banned Roc Nation singer Rita Ora from her star-studded Met Gala after party. Now The Sun UK reports the feud may have landed Rita in the netherworld of seats during the MTV VMAs… Former label mates Rihanna and Rita Ora were once again at loggerheads, with the former demanding the Brit singer sits away from her inside the ceremony so she can’t steal her thunder. A show source said: “Rihanna is receiving the Video Vanguard Award and she wants the evening to be all about her. She isn’t going to let anything, or anyone, upstage her. “She has never liked Rita and put a call into MTV last week asking for her to be sat far away from her so she isn’t disturbed during the ceremony.” The pair’s long-running feud is no secret, with RiRi believing Rita was only ever signed to her label Roc Nation to make her nervous. Rihanna runs the world!!! WENN Continue reading

R.I.P. To The Greatest: Boxing Legend Muhammad Ali Passes Away At Age 74

Muhammad Ali Dies At Age 74 After battling Parkinson’s disease for the last three decades and spending the last couple of days hospitalized in Phoenix and in intensive care , Muhammad Ali has passed away. He was 74 years old. Premature reports of his passing poured in earlier in the evening from a Miami Marlins game, despite no evidence or any reports that the legend had passed. However, around midnight east coast time, the champ officially died while surrounded by friends and family. The boxing legend made history for his prowess in the ring, his brash and boastful demeanor, and his refusal to bite his tongue when it came to social, political, and racial issues — well into his elderly years and despite his condition. Via NBCnews : Muhammad Ali, the silver-tongued boxer and civil rights champion who famously proclaimed himself “The Greatest” and then spent a lifetime living up to the billing, is dead. Ali died Friday at a Phoenix-area hospital, where he had spent the past few days being treated for respiratory complications, a family spokesman confirmed to NBC News. He was 74. “After a 32-year battle with Parkinson’s disease, Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74. The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer died this evening,” Bob Gunnell, a family spokesman, told NBC News. Ali had suffered for three decades from Parkinson’s Disease, a progressive neurological condition that slowly robbed him of both his legendary verbal grace and his physical dexterity. A funeral service is planned in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Even as his health declined, Ali did not shy from politics or controversy, releasing a statement in December criticizing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. “We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda,” he said. He truly was the greatest of all time. The champ will be truly missed! WENN

‘Blackout Drunk’ Mom Mistook Her 11-Year-Old Son For Her Boyfriend And Molested Him

Drunk Mom Sentenced To A Year In Jail For Molesting 11-Year-Old She Mistook For Boyfriend While some people do crazy things when drunk, this 39-year-old mother got so damn lit that she somehow thought her 11-year-old son was her boyfriend and guided his little hands down to her vagina, among other things. Now the woman, who wasn’t identified to protect her traumatized son, will be spending a year in county jail. Via WHMI A Livingston County woman has been sentenced in a molestation case involving her son. The 39-year-old Fowlerville, Michigan woman was reportedly “blackout drunk” when the incident occurred in May of 2014 and she molested her 11-year-old son. The victim says his mother asked him to sleep in her bed and he awoke to her touching him. The mother apparently then guided her son’s hands to inappropriate places on her body, thinking it was her boyfriend. The woman reportedly stated the name of her boyfriend during the incident and the victim says it was the only time anything like that ever happened. A couple of months later, the boy told his grandfather about the molestation and his grandfather reported it to authorities. The woman was sentenced in Livingston County Circuit Court recently and ordered to serve one year in the Livingston County Jail with a credit of 85 days served and five years of probation. In a plea deal reached with prosecutors, she pleaded guilty to a charge of 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct. In exchange, a separate count of 3rd degree child abuse was dismissed. She must register under the Sex Offender Registry Act for life and has had her parental rights of the victim and her other child terminated. The defense maintained the woman did not intentionally sexually assault her son and says the mother has been diagnosed with clinical depression and excessive alcohol use contributed to the event. The defendant claims to have no memory of the incident. The woman’s attorney says before the “troubling events” that led to the sentencing, the woman was a “well-functioning citizen of the community”. Hopefully, her son is in therapy. Shutterstock
