At least they didn’t shoot him … New Mexico Police Help Shoplifting Dad Buy Baby Formula What started as a shoplifting call, turned into something very different for a group of officers and the suspect. Instead of arresting a father for stealing baby formula, four officers ended up helping him and his 11-month-old. Via KRQE reports: The story is quickly spreading on social media. The officers’ Sergeant calls it “old fashioned compassion” in his Facebook post, and it’s already gotten hundreds of shares. An Albertsons employee called Roswell Police Sunday, after spotting a man shoplifting, hiding stolen items in a baby carrier. “We waited at the front door for him, confronted him at the front door,” recalled Officer Joe Mason, of the Roswell Police Department. “We uncovered the baby carrier and found it was baby formula.” Officer Mason, Officer Chris Bradley, along with Officer Anthony Armijo and a New Mexico State Police officer, were there. The officers said the man immediately showed remorse for stealing the items. He told police he recently lost his job, and the formula was for his 11-month-old son. “He just seemed like he was down on his luck,” said Bradley. “It kind of happened without even being said you know, we all knew what the right thing to do was,” added Mason. Each officer pitched in their own money, and bought him the baby formula, about $80 worth. Even Albertsons pitched in, and the man ended up with five canisters of baby formula. “He broke down, it was a very emotional moment for everybody that was there,” recalled officer Bradley. Police said the man was in tears. He was grateful for the officers’ compassion, and said he would never look at cops the same way. “He didn’t have really criminal intent, he was just a man trying to feed his child,” said Bradley. “And you know, I put myself in his shoes.” The officers told KRQE News 13 they treat every situation differently, and had a lengthy discussion with the man. “Where is he going to better serve that child, in jail – or at home taking care of him?,” Mason explained. “And that’s what’s important.” A Roswell Sergeant shared the story in a Facebook post, saying “Great job day shift. I am honored to be your Sergeant.” The Facebook post received more than 300 shares in less than a day. Several people responded, saying “awesome display of kindness, compassion, and respect!” Another person wrote, “Class Act right there! That’s what being a police officer is all about!!” Bradley and Mason both told News 13, they did not expect such a wide response. “We did it just because it felt like the right thing to do,” said officer Bradley. The officers shared resources that could help the man, so he wouldn’t resort to stealing. “If you can actually touch someone in a positive way, that’s what we want as a police officer you know,” said officer Mason. “My best memories and the coolest stuff I’ve done as a cop has been helping people.” Not only are people sharing the story on Facebook, they’re responding. Roswell Police said they’ve gotten multiple messages from people wanting to donate diapers and formula to the man. The officers are also helping him find a new job. Facebook

He gets to see it every day…does he really need it sculpted and displayed?? Kanye Plans to Commission A Nude Sculpture Of Wife Kim Kardashian Kanye wants the object of his obsession’s nekkid cakes chiseled in stone and put on display for the world to see…once again. Via The Daily Star : The mogul is searching for a sculptor to create a life-size statue of her and her famous behind. He reveals his plans in a forthcoming episode of her show Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Kanye, 37, is hoping an artist will be able to recreate the same iconic pose for his missus that was made famous by pop singer Grace Jones for the cover of her 1985 album Island Life. He said: “That’s my inspiration, to see Kim captured for all time.” The star also wants to commission an artist to produce a “gallery quality” piece of erotic art depicting him and 34-year-old Kim naked. He added: “We’d like to have that hung on our bedroom wall.” But first he wants the statue of Kim, who measures 38-26.5-40, for the grand lobby of their £12.7million home in Hidden Hills, Los Angeles. A senior executive at the E! cable and satellite channel which airs The Kardashians said: “Kanye even toyed with the idea of replicating Kim’s recent nude magazine photo shoot. “But he thought that might be a little bit too personal to display to visitors who will clap eyes on her statue the moment they walk in the door. “So now he’s going with the Grace Jones album cover, although it’s debatable whether Kim could actually hold such a balletic pose for too long without toppling over.” Kanye also says in the show that he hopes Kim will be “appreciated for her classic shape” as well as its “artistic merit”. Hmmm…didn’t ‘Ye have another one of his former “trophies” posed up and photograped in the same manner once upon a time?? We’ve all seen what his lady has to offer quite enough, haven’t we? Is a statue really necessary??

Sorry…we just threw up in our mouths a little. Mama June Offered One Million Dollars For Sex Tape Now that the “Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo” checks have stopped rolling in, Mama June has been offered $1 million to lay it low and spread it wide on camera for Vivid Entertainment. Although with her track record of selecting pervy pedophiles , we wonder if she’ll even be able to locate a partner that enjoys the company of grown women. Via The Hollywood Gossip : TMZ has obtained a letter written to the reality stars in which Vivid Entertainment CEO Steve Hirsch offers them $1 million to do the deed on tape. Hirsch believes Shannon would be a hit in the company’s Big Beautiful Women section. “We would make the experience an enjoyable one for both of you and give you as much creative input as you would like,” Hirsch writes to the couple Vivid, of course, is the company behind the Kim Kardashian sex tape, as well as amateur porns starring Tila Tequila, Kendra Wilkinson and many others. Mama June and Sugar Bear have been on a scandalous roller coaster ride for months. Shannon reportedly broke up with Honey Boo Boo’s father in order to date Mark McDaniel this fall, a convicted child molester whose victim was Anna Shannon, one of June’s daughters. TLC actually canceled Here Comes Honey Boo Boo as a result of this relationship and the subsequent public relations nightmare that followed. Sugar Bear moved back in with Shannon a few weeks after this news broke, however, because Child Protective Services threatened to take away her kids. The lovebirds allegedly rekindled their romance at that time, but Shannon recently said Sugar Bear has been cheating on her. But we’re sure it’s nothing a sex tape wouldn’t solve, right? Eh…we aren’t into it, but maybe there’s a market for morbidly obese child molester sympathizer pornography. Will you be watching if she accepts??
SMH… Teen Charged With Crossbow Murder Of Father A 17-year-old in Delaware could face the death penalty for the brutal murder of his father via crossbow. Rawstory reports: A teenage boy in Delaware, charged with murdering his father with a crossbow, was being held without bail Saturday in a juvenile detention facility, state police said. Seth Ramsey, 17, of Harrington, was charged with first degree murder and possession of a deadly weapon, Delaware State Police said. He was accused of shooting his 41-year-old father, Todd Ramsey, in the upper torso at the family’s home, state police said. Officers had been called to the home on Thursday after Todd Ramsey’s co-workers reported him missing from the job for several days, authorities said. “When they (officers) initially arrived at the house, the two made contact with the man’s teenage son who claimed he may have killed his father,” state police said in a statement. An autopsy would conclude when the man was killed, authorities said, and no motive has been established. It was unclear if the teen had obtained an attorney or how he intends to plead to the murder charge, which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or possibly the death penalty. Wow, do you think it’s fair or foul to possibly give the death penalty to a teenager????
“I love them, I have deep companionship for them…” Woman Lives With 300 Rats A Florida woman is making headlines for letting her home become infested with her 300 pet rats. FoxCT reports: When you walk into Florine Brown’s house, it’s obvious something is wrong. Holes are in the furniture, a foul odor fills the air…and there’s rats…lots and lots of rats. Florine Brown, the homeowner said, “It got really out of control, but I still wanted to keep them.” Brown loves these rodents. She started with three back in 20-12…but they escaped and multiplied. Now there are around three hundred and you can find them behind every nook and cranny. Brown said, “I didn’t think of it as a big deal or a problem. I still don’t, but it really got out of hand.” A family member called local animal rescue groups, and little by little, they’re going to safely remove them. The process could take a month to complete. Brown said, “I love them. I have deep compassion for them.” Neighbors had tried to warn her to stop the rodents from mating. Sharron Fouratt said, “If you leave them loose and they breed quickly, you know that’s what happens.” Already about seventy rats have been removed in the past few days, but there’s a lot more work to do. Brown said, “I just want them to go to good homes.” And hopefully that will bring her life back to normal. Officials from rescue groups are working to capture the rats and find them new homes. Brown will not face any criminal charges for letting her home become infested. SMH….poor thang.
