NYPD Rookie Police Officer Indicted On Manslaughter Charge For Killing Of Unarmed Brooklyn Man Peter Liang, the rookie cop who killed unarmed Brooklynite Akai Gurley has been indicted on second degree manslaughter charges for the shooting that took place in November in Gurley’s unlit housing project staircase. According to NY Daily News reports : Peter Liang will face criminal charges that can send him to prison for up to 15 years for the death of Akai Gurley on Nov. 20, 2014, a source said. A grand jury started hearing the case on Feb 4. A spokeswoman for the Brooklyn district attorney declined to comment. A source said Liang was indicted for a top count second-degree manslaughter, which means he acted recklessly, among other charges. Liang discharged one bullet when patrolling the stairways of the Pink Houses in East New York, striking Gurley in the chest as the man stood in the landing a floor below. The News reported that Liang and his partner did not answer the radio in the six-plus minutes right after the shooting and instead texted their union reps. The DA had obtained an indictment in recent months against three cops in two different incidents involving alleged assaults during arrests. NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton had previously called Gurley’s shooting “an unfortunate accident.” Liang is expected to turn himself in Wednesday morning ahead of his arraignment in Brooklyn Supreme Court. SMH. Damn shame they have these unexperienced cops out here shooting blindly in the dark, afraid of what the big bad black man is going to do. An innocent man was killed and meanwhile you can bet the sorry a$$ Police and Sergeant’s Benevolent Association are out here issuing statements about how sorry they are for the poor cop, who still has his life, who “accidentally” took someone else’s because he was afraid.

After becoming one of the most famous internet celebs of 2014, Alex From Target has given us an update on his life… and it includes movies, music, merch, and even a tour.
In case you don’t recognize the name (And why would you?) Dascha Polanco is the actress who plays Dayanara Diaz on Orange is the New Black. The role was obviously her big break, but if the details of a story that recently leaked online turn out to be true, Polanco could soon be better known for her questionable treatment of pets than for her acting. Dascha stands accused of dumping her two healthy, well-behaved cats off at a shelter so that she could adopt two kittens. To make matters worse, witnesses say Dascha’s cats were dropped off in a beaten-up cardboard box with air holes poked in the side. The actress had reportedly not called in advance to see if the shelter was accepting new animals and when a clerk told her they were unable to accommodate her cats, Dascha lost it and screamed, “Don’t you know who I am?” The shelter eventually accepted the cats, and shortly thereafter, Dascha began posting photos of two very young kittens on her social media accounts. Polanco has reportedly been added to the national DNA (do not adopt) list that’s circulated among shelters to identify irresponsible pet owners. Celebrities mistreating pets is nothing new, but the callous, public nature of Polanco’s behavior makes it unique…as does the indignant response that she posted on Facebook: “I walk with my head high and I’m nauseated by the ppl that bully and choose to express such hurtful words. So much progress to be done. #IEatBullies” So it looks like in addition to the “Don’t you know who I am?” card, Dascha is a fan of playing the “BULLYING!” card whenever she’s the subject of criticism. Classy. Watch Orange is the New Black online at TV Fanatic so that you can continue seeing Polanco as a nice, normal convict rather than a rude, whiny pet-exchanger.

They say Bobbi Kristina will never wake up from her medically-induced coma, and that the right thing to do, however painful it is, is to let her go. The 21-year old was found unconscious in a bathtub in her home on January 31. She was hospitalized and has been under physician care ever since. No cause has yet to be determined for the incident, although authorities did reportedly find drugs on the scene after executing a search warrant. A new report, however, claims Bobbi was also found with facial injuries and attention has therefore turned to her estranged husband, Nick Gordon. Those close to the couple say Brown and Gordon fought often, with some even alleging Gordon had recently moved out of the couple’s home. No charges have been filed, but a criminal investigation into Gordon is underway , with police curious about the events leading up to her near-drowning.

When you hear the name Johnny Cash, you probably think of the rugged, gravel-voiced Man in Black who was as well-known for his hard-partying ways as for his timeless contributions to the world of country music. But apparently, beneath that rough exterior beat the heart of a true romantic, because when Cash wasn’t penning tunes about shooting men just to watch them die, he was composing love letters that would make the badass inmate at Folsom get a little misty. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, a British insurance company commissioned a poll to determine the greatest love letter of all time. Despite some stiff competition from the likes of poet John Keats and Henry VIII (?!), Cash came out on top with this mash note for his wife June Carter Cash, written on her birthday in 1994: If it just got a little too dusty in here for you to make out the text, here’s what Cash had to say to his longtime love: “We get old and we get used to each other. We think alike. We read each others minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe we sometimes take each other for granted. “But once in a while, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met. You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You’re the object of my desire, the #1 Earthly reason for my existence. I love you very much.” Yeah, feel free to crib that one word-for-word if you’re at a loss for what to scribble in your last-minute Hallmark card, fellas. Makes Michael Jordan’s love letters sound like the lunatic ramblings of a man driven to insanity by the thought that he might one day own the Charlotte Bobcats. The 2005 film Walk the Line memorably depicted June and Johnny’s romance, but this letter gives us a sense of what really kept the First Couple of Country Music united throughout their many ups and downs. So steal from Mr. Cash, if you can. Whatever you do, don’t take any cues from the unbelievably awkward Valentine’s Day cards in the gallery below: 17 Awkwardest Valentine’s Day Cards 1.
