Central Park Five: Korey Wise Reveals Why He Stayed In New York City — Even After Being Falsely Incarcerated [Video]

Source: John Lamparski / Getty Korey Wise Answers Questions At “When They See Us” Premiere The depiction of Korey Wise’s prison experience was a tough pill to swallow in Netflix’s “ When They See Us “! After all that the falsely accused man went through, he was the only one of his peers arrested during that fateful time who remained in NYC after they were released and cleared of charges. The other five guys migrated south. But why did Korey stay? He tells BlackTree TV, its simple math: “This is my roots. I can’t speak for no other. This is my roots. This my home. I have no problem visiting, but this is my home.” After his release, Korey partakes in the Innocence Project to help free more innocent incarcerated folks like him.

Bigoted Bacon Brigade: Investigation Into 3,100 Facebook Posts Reveals Racist, Sexist, Offensive Posts By Philadelphia Cops

Source: Hirurg / Getty Over 300 Philadelphia Cops Post Racist Facebook Comments We already know police ain’t s#!t , but stories like this still never fail to make us shake our head. According to ABCNews , the Plain View Project has been conducting an investigation into 3,100 Facebook posts made by Philadelphia police and found over 300 racist or offensive comments made by 328 active-duty officers. Many of these offensive posts included language that promoted violence against Blacks, Muslims, and immigrants. Some of the posts have comment threads between multiple officers who have no fear of telling the internet how they REALLY feel about non-white people. Says organization founder Emily Baker-White: “We found a very high and concerning number of posts that appear to endorse, celebrate or glorify violence and vigilantism,” Baker-White told ABC News in an interview on Tuesday. “We included posts that we thought could affect public trust and policing.” “We also included posts,” she added, “that seemed to emit some sort of bias against a group of people — whether if that’s a minority faith, a minority race, ethnicity, immigration status, whatever it is. We saw a number of posts that appeared to denigrate those groups of people.” Police Commissioner Richard Ross commented about the internal investigation over these posts: “We have reviewed the social media transcriptions you provided, and find many of them to be not only incongruent with our standards and policies, but also troubling on a human level,” Ross said. F**k the police.

No Chill: Protester Rushes Stage & Grabs Mic From Kamala Harris At San Franciso Forum [Video]

Source: Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Protester Interrupts Kamala Harris At MoveOn’s Big Ideas Forum Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris barely got a chance to answer a question this weekend before she was interrupted by a protestor. According to CBS News , the whole incident went down on Saturday at MoveOn’s Big Ideas Forum in San Francisco. Harris was onstage discussing one of her “big ideas,” which involves ending the gender pay gap. The moderator was just about to ask her a question when a man rushed the stage and took Harris’ mic from her hand. He said he wanted to bring “attention for a much bigger idea” before he was taken offstage. Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff , even intervened with the protester to send him on his way. Kamala eventually returned to the stage after chants of “Kamala back!” and she resumed answering questions. Peep the clip for yourself below.   The protestor was identified as Aidan Cook by the animal rights organization Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), who released a press statement shortly after the chaos. Many people were outraged by the incident, especially since the man took up time from a Black woman candidate in the middle of an equal pay discussion. “A white dude rushing the stage and grabbing the mic from a WOC, while she’s speaking about the gender pay gap, and then being escorted away without being charged with anything feels like a short play written to raise awareness about mansplaining and white male privilege,” wrote one @OhNoSheTwitnt .

We are good. I love ⁦ @ KamalaHarris ⁩ and would do anything for her.” Thx for all the kind notes. We are good.
