Demand for more answers have grown after an April officer-involved shooting in Hugo, Oklahoma that left three children injured. Officers Billy Jenkins and Chad Allen were identified as the two offers who attempted to apprehend 21-year-old William Smith who was wanted in connection to an armed robbery of a Pizza Hut. Jenkins and Allen opened fire on a vehicle they believed Smith was in, striking three children who were sitting in the backseat. “What happened between the contact with him and when police fired, we’re still trying to put that together,” Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations spokeswoman Brook Arbeitman said . “The OSBI is still investigating whether he fired at police and whether he was armed.” Smith was arrested on a robbery warrant. “My 4-year-old daughter was shot in the head, and she has a bullet in her brain, and my 5-year-old has a skull fracture,” the children’s mother Olivia Hill told local affiliate KFOR . “My 1-year-old baby has gunshot wounds on her face. My 2-year-old wasn’t touched with any bullets.” Police say they began shooting after Smith attempted to run them over with his vehicle. However, this claim is being disputed as both officers were in plain clothes and that Smith could not identify them as police. It is also suggested by the community that the officers in question could have moved out of the way instead of opening fire on a vehicle, unaware if there were children inside. “If you don’t know if someone is law enforcement or not, it changes things,” family attorney Damaria Solomon-Simmons told The Free Thought Project . “I don’t know what happened, but that’s concerning to me.” The three children who were shot were all released from the hospital but will continue to deal with a lot of “emotional pain” per Simmons.
performa Chelsea yang sempat memburuk di musim ini, sebagian publik berharap Maurizio Sarri segera meninggalkan jabatannya sebagai pelatih. Namun, pria asal Italia itu membuat mereka gigit jari dengan tekad bertahan lama di Inggris. Kritikan tersebut sempat menimpa mantan pelatih Napoli tersebut. Banyak yang menuding bahwa skema Sarriball bawaannya telah mengantar Chelsea ke jurang kehancuran beberapa waktu lalu, seperti waktu kalah atas Manchester City 0-6 misalnya. Chelsea pada akhir nya berhasil menorehkan sesuatu yang tak bisa disebut buruk. Pertama adalah mereka berhasil mencapai babak final Carabao Cup, lalu sukses memastikan satu jatah Liga Champions, dan kini telah mencapai semifinal Liga Europa. AS Roma dikabarkan siap menampungnya sebagai pengganti Claudio Ranieri . Tetapi, Maurizio Sarri mengaku sudah jatuh cinta dengan kehidupan di Inggris dan bertekad untuk bertahan selama mungkin. Chelsea sedikit diuntungkan karena harus bermain di hadapan fans setianya, mengantongi satu gol tandang, juga Frankfurt dalam kondisi buruk usai dibantai 1-6 oleh Leverkusen pada akhir pekan kemain. Tapi Maurizio Sarri tetap yakin laga kali ini bakalan berjalan ketat. Pada laga terakhir di Bundesliga, mereka mungkin bermain [sambil berpikir soal] partai terakhir di Liga Europa. kami menghadapi sebuah tim kuat dengan para pemainnya yang sangat kuat. Sulit untuk menjadi unggulan terdepan. Chelsea berada dalam kondisi terbaiknya setelah menuai kemenangan telak 3-0 atas Watford dalam laga lanjutan Premier League akhir pekan kemarin. Ketiga gol tersebut lahir dari aksi Ruben Loftus-Cheek , David Luiz , dan Gonzalo Higuain . Continue reading →
Source: Johnny Louis/WENN.com / WENN via NewsOne.com : For critics of hip-hop, Nipsey Hussle ’s recent murder was probably emblematic of how rappers are expected to die — young and Black. But while a handful of notable rappers have indeed had their lives cut short at an early age from senseless gun violence, many of the genre’s voices have gone on to grow older without being shot to death. But street life isn’t the only thing threatening the lives of rappers, as shown by hip-hop pioneer Kurtis Blow , who was reportedly set to undergo his second heart procedure. He joined a growing list of other aging rappers who have suffered from health issues. The 59-year-old’s wife released a statement on Monday saying her husband’s aortic artery repair procedure was not as successful as they previously thought and that Kurtis Blow required open heart surgery, HipHopDX reported . Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). “Kurtis got a bad CT. The aorta has dissected and it looks like he needs to go back to surgery,” a statement from Kurtis Blow’s wife said. “He’s back in ICU and they’re discussing surgery immediately. Emergency open heart surgery.” It was just last week when Kurtis Blow announced in an Instagram post that he was scheduled to undergo a medical procedure on his heart in Los Angeles. He followed that up with a post saying that his surgery was “a tremendous success” before announcing Sunday that he had begun physical therapy yesterday and occupational therapy and was “ on my way to a full recovery 100%.” Hey everyone- I started physical therapy yesterday and occupational therapy today. I am on my way to recovery 100%. Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes. I love you all and I will be back really… https://t.co/L92VL7b56q — Kurtis Blow (@KurtisBlow1) May 5, 2019 It was unclear what changed in between then and Monday when his wife released her statement. In an Instagram post last week, he said he was “preparing for an aortic artery repair procedure.” It was supposed to “stabilize the artery from further damage caused by the hematoma I contacted from my recent travels to China,” he wrote on May 1. Hematoma has been defined by Merriam-Webster as “a mass of usually clotted blood that forms in a tissue, organ, or body space as a result of a broken blood vessel. Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Email Submit While rap music is a relatively young genre and typically associated with young people, Kurtis Blow’s grave condition was shining a light on the health issues that aging rappers were increasingly facing. The fact that most rappers, especially the pioneers, are Black and brown only exacerbates that reality since statistics show that African Americans are disproportionately affected by chronic health conditions. That was especially true when it comes to the heart. Rapper Craig Mack died last year at the age of 47 from congestive heart failure. Pioneering DJ Lovebug Starski also died last year following a heart attack. He was 57 years old. Hip-hop singer Nate Dogg died in 2011 after suffering a series of strokes in the years leading up to his death. He was 41. Cancer has also targeted rappers. Just last week it was reported that Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, a condition that has all but amounted to a death sentence for Black men in particular. He is 52 years old. GURU of Gang Starr died from cancer in 2010 at the age of 48 and Adam “MCA” Yauch from the Beastie Boys died from cancer in 2012. Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest died from complications from diabetes at the age of 47. Obviously, these ailments don’t only affect rappers, as shown last week’s death of filmmaker John Singleton at the age of 51 following complications from a stroke he had recently suffered. But, like with everybody else, as rappers get older, these health concerns will likely become more pronounced in their lives.

Knocc Out also said that Holder was signed to Nipsey’s record label and he “met him a couple times.” Hussle’s team was shutting down both of those reports, according to XXL . The rap news outlet reported that a source said “Nipsey is embracing Flacco, who is NOT Eric Holder.” In addition, the source reportedly said that “Nipsey’s camp says the only members of the rapper’s All Money In label are Cuzzy, Jstone, Cobby, BH, PacMan and Killa Twan, and Holder was never among that group.” SEE ALSO: Suspect Eric Holder Charged With Nipsey Hussle’s Murder Holder was a failed rapper whose street name was Shitty Cuz.

He “declined to elaborate on the feud between the two, saying he didn’t want to jeopardize any potential prosecution, but he said the suspect approached Nipsey and others multiple times, engaging them in conversation,” CNN.com reported. Moore did say the dispute does not appear gang-related. Rest in power, Nipsey Hussle.

Source: Streeter Lecka / Getty Artist Sixmau Blasts J. Cole For Breaching Agreement Over Cover Art The artist that created the masterful cover art for J. Cole’s KOD album has a HUGE bone to pick with him after he says Jermaine stiffed his pockets. Sixmau aka Kamau Haroon blasted Cole for allegedly being misleading in their agreement. Kamau insists Cole never made it clear that he would be replicating the artwork for tour merchandise and scoring millions off of it, while he made zero merch bucks. Kamau wrote on Twitter over the incident: “I did all the creative direction for the KOD album and he told me my work was only going to be used for booklet art . Only to turn around and make merchandise illegally with my art behind my back and profit majorly off it while on tour. F-ck them.” I did all the creative direction for the KOD album and he told me my work was only going to be used for booklet art.

Cole to license the art because his “message is of positivity.” To make matters even worse on his end, the painter claims he is on the verge of homelessness after having a trying year. Sixmau retweeted the following tweets, reinserting that he wasn’t compensated after his work was plastered over thousands of t-shirts and hoodies and he’s struggling financially. If y’all didn’t know J.Cole stole money out of the mouth of the artist @theykilledsix that painted his album cover. Cole used the artwork on tour merch without the artist’s permission. The original artist got no cut of the money made on merch. FOUL ASF. — Flex Luther (@gabreupp) May 8, 2019 All this shows me is not to do verbal agreements. I need it in writing.
