Boys just wanna have fun … New Haven police arrested a man at Red’s Café, in Connecticut, just before 12:30 a.m. on Sunday after receiving a report of someone inside with a gun, police said: A bar employee told police she’d argued with Sean Peterson, 38, of New Haven, when he insisted on entering the bar on ladies night, police said. She told police that Peterson displayed a gun when she told him he couldn’t enter the bar because he wasn’t a lady, police said. After Peterson went to the bar, the employee and the owner called police. When police responded and approached Peterson, he reached into his pocket, swore at the officers and fled, police said. Officers tackled Peterson after what they called a violent struggle and removed a knife from his left pants pocket and a .41 caliber Smith & Wesson model 657 Magnum revolver, police said. Police said they also confiscated a black ski mask. How can you blame him? He wasn’t trying to be tardy for the party! Source New Haven Police
Dez Bryant, a star wide receiver on the Dallas Cowboys, was arrested over the weekend on charges of misdemeanor assault. But the details of the alleged incident sounds felonious in our view.

Once there, authorities were told by
Drop the doughnut and get nekkid ! A group of Australian women celebrating a bachelorette party mistook three police officers for male strippers when they stopped into the Humpty Doo Tavern in Darwin on Thursday, ABC News in Australiareports. “There were various shouts about how the strippers had arrived,” police commander Louise Jorgenson told ABC News.”[The ladies] nearly had [the officers’] shirts torn off, but [the police] managed to escape with their dignity intact.” The bride, Wendy Haddon, told ABC News that the officers “went along with it very well,” even taking photos with the women by their patrol cars. Here is a helpful hint girls. If they are wearing a Kevlar vest under their shirt then they probably are real cops. (Also check for donuts.) Source
What a friggin weirdo… A stranger disrobed and climbed into a woman’s hot tub with her Thursday morning, the sheriff said. The man had to be forcibly removed from the hot tub by sheriff’s deputies. Yaroslav Babenko, 37, of San Francisco was charged with criminal trespass and criminial mischief. A 47-year-old Bandon woman called the sheriff’s office before 8 a.m. Thursday to report Babenko had confronted her while she sat alone in the hot tub at her home. The man took off his clothes and climbed in the tub as the woman called 911. He remained in the tub when she asked him to leave, the sheriff said. Babenko was still sitting in the hot tub when Coos County Deputies and Bandon Police officers arrived. When he refused their instructions to get out of the tub, the officers forcibly removed him. He was taken into custody without further incident. Deputies learned Babenko was on his way home to San Francisco when he stopped at the home to use the hot tub, even though he’d never been there before. What the hell?? Source
What the hell is going on… is this the 60′s?: Not guilty verdict in case against ex-Houston officer Andrew Blomberg So the cops and people of America feel it’s just “kill black boy” season: A fired Houston police officer has been found not guilty of official oppression in the videotaped beating of a teen burglar. The Harris County jury found 29-year-old Andrew Blomberg not guilty of official oppression. He was fired from the Houston Police Department after a videotape surfaced of the beating of Chad Holley during his March 2010 arrest. Holley was 15 years old at the time of the beating and arrest. He was later convicted of the burglary. The jury began deliberating the case at about noon on Tuesday, and returned to their deliberation at 9:30am today. They returned a verdict shortly after 11am. Houston Mayor Annise Parker said, “I do not agree with the verdict. No way he will ever again be a Houston police officer.” “This was a just verdict,” said KTRK legal analyst Joel Androphy. “Police officers have different boundaries than the rest of us. This officer was acquitted because police officers get extra benefit of the doubt.” Community activist Quanell X called the verdict not simply a miscarriage of justice, but an “abortion.” “They just said to black people that the police can do whatever they want to do and get away with it. They just sent a message to all of us that our lives don’t mean a (darn) thing in Harris County,” Quanell X said. The situation at the courthouse has been heated ever since closing arguments on Tuesday morning, and tensions escalated there after the not guilty verdict was announced. Blomberg was held in the courtroom for safety reasons for more than 30 minutes after the verdict was read. The situation in the hallway was described as ‘chaos.’ Outside the building, Blomberg told reporters, “I’m glad it’s over and I’m going home… just going to take a deep breath and reassess after this, see what I want to do.” Blomberg said that he would not seek to get his HPD officer job back. Ray Hunt, president of the Houston Police Officers’ Union, says he hopes there is no lingering commotion in community. However, Quanell X is reportedly calling for a protest, and suggests that ‘if people are going to be violent, then they’re going to be violent.’ Those speaking for the Black United Front reportedly said to “let justice reign in the streets.” The Reverend Robert Jefferon with the Cullen Missionary Baptist Church told Eyewitness News, “Yes, I do feel they whooped that boy unmercifully, and somebody should be punished, yes I do.” If convicted, Blomberg could have faced up to a year in jail and/or up to a $4,000 fine. Androphy adds that this verdict has sent a strong message to the prosecution that it’s going to be difficult to convict the three other officers charged in connection with this beating case. HPD Chief Charles McClelland released a statement which read in part: “I would like to thank the jury for their hard work and dedication in listening to the evidence and rendering a decision in this case. I understand that some will disagree with the verdict, and although no system is perfect, our system of jurisprudence provides appropriate safeguards to protect our freedom. “I also appreciate the citizens of Houston and trust that they will continue to express themselves in a manner that is respectful of the rights and privileges we all share. It is important to remember that the officer that was the subject of this trial is no longer a Houston police officer and that a separate and distinct administrative process has confirmed his termination from the Houston Police Department. He will never again be a Houston Police Officer.” Mayor Parker also said that the actions of the officers allegedly involved in the beating don’t represent the thousands of other officers in HPD. Harris Co. District Attorney Pat Lykos said in a statement, “Although, I respectfully disagree with the decision, I accept it and thank the jurors for their service. We have the best criminal justice system in the world. We are prepared to go to trial on the remaining three cases and request the court to set speedy trials.” Turn the page to see this foul in court celebrating and for the disturbing beating footage.

Fired (But Free-Alive) Detective In Sean Bell Shooting “I’m Not Sorry… No Apologies” [Video] This fool is crazy: A detective who fired the first shots in the 2006 shooting of an unarmed man on his wedding day says he believes his life was on the line that night and said he has “no regrets.” “I’m not looking back, no apologies, no regrets. I came to grips with what I did,” Gescard Isnora told News 4 in his first extensive public comments about the shooting of Sean Bell. “I am able to sleep at night. I am here talking to you.” Isnora and two other officers were acquitted of criminal charges in a 2008 non-jury trial. Last fall, he was found guilty of violating NYPD guidelines by using unnecessary force, and was fired two weeks ago by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. Isnora was the first of the NYPD officers who opened fire Nov. 25, 2006, firing 11 shots. In the 50-bullet barrage, Bell was killed and two of his friends, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, were wounded. No weapon was found, sparking accusations and months of protests that the NYPD was too quick to use deadly force. At Isnora’s disciplinary trial in October, attorney Adam Sheldon described Isnora’s actions as “outrageous, unimaginable and unjustified.” But Isnora, speaking to News 4, blamed the actions of the men leaving Bell’s bachelor party at Club Kalua in Queens that night. Isnora, who was at the club on an undercover operation, said he heard threats of gun violence outside the club after the men got into a confrontation with a man named Fabio Coicou. “Joseph Guzman said, ‘Go get my gun,’” said Isnora. “And there was another individual that said ‘Let’s ‘f’ ‘em up.” Isnora said he called for backup and followed the men as they rushed to their car. But the other officers did not arrive in time and Isnora said he felt he had to act. “I have to stop this car. If I don’t stop this car, Fabio Coicou gets shot. I served as Fabio Coicou’s last line of defense,” Isnora said. “They would have gone around the corner and definitely gotten to him.” Isnora said he pulled out his shield and his gun and ordered the car to stop. But Bell drove the car right at him, Isnora said, hitting his leg. Bell then ran the vehicle back and forth several more times, according to Isnora. “What people don’t understand is, a vehicle is a weapon as well. He used that vehicle. He basically wanted to run me over,” he said. Seconds later, fearing Guzman was reaching and raising a weapon, Isnora said, he opened fire. In grand jury testimony, Guzman denied saying anything about a gun outside the club; other witnesses also testified that the dispute with Coicou ended peacefully. Guzman and Benefield testified that they never heard the officers yell warnings before opening fire and tried to drive away because they feared for their lives. Isnora maintains he resorted to deadly force only after Bell bumped him with the car and smashed into an unmarked police van, and after he spotted Guzman make a sudden move as though he were going for a gun. “I’m still looking into the car. I noticed Guzman making an arm movement,” Isnora told News 4. “I yelled ‘gun’ very, very instinctively and fired my weapon.” Isnora fired 11 times into the car at Guzman just as the backup team arrived. Fellow officers would fire 39 times. “What is the right amount? What is not the right amount? In a heated situation, you are not counting bullets,” Isnora said. When asked whether firing a total of 50 shots was excessive, Isnora said: “People making those comments do not know the job that undercovers do. It was just survival at that time and moment, and the decision they took left me with no other choice.” Isnora said he didn’t learn until two days later in the press that the men in the car did not have a gun. “It’s easy in hindsight, it’s easy to say what could have been done, but right then and there, every step I took was correct,” said Isnora. Bell and Guzman “set the events in motion,” he added. Kelly fired Isnora last month, saying he broke NYPD rules by emerging from his undercover role before backup arrived and by firing into a vehicle filled with unarmed men. The city also paid more than $7 million to the Bell family and to Guzman and Benefield. His pension was also revoked. Detectives Michael Oliver and Marc Cooper were forced out but allowed to keep their pensions, a move that did not sit well with members of the Bell family. “It’s a slap on the wrist,” said Bell’s father, William Bell. “They’re going to get another job, their life is going to go on and mine’s just stuck.” Isnora said he is angry and feels betrayed the police commissioner and mayor. “I was fed to the wolves, if you want to use that,” Isnora said. “That’s exactly what the commissioner and the mayor did. I was there doing my job.” Isnora said city leaders, from the beginning, “were basically saving themselves. They couldn’t care about the rank and file members,” Isnora said. “I guess if it doesn’t look right to them, they will head for the hills. And that is what they did. They ran for the hills and they left us behind.” He said the police officers in the Amadou Diallo case and other controversial police shootings did not have their pensions taken away. Isnora grew up in Bushwick, the son of a Haitian immigrant who drove MTA buses for a living. His mother came to the U.S. from Mexico and worked child-care related jobs. Joining the NYPD was a proud day, and Isnora said he just wanted to help make the streets safer for children. Image and Source NBC New York More On Bossip!

The Trayvon Martin incident inspired Tyler Perry’s latest blog post , which is like whoa : “As I stepped out of the car another officer pulled up in front of my car. This officer was a black guy. He took one look at me and had that Oh No look on his face. He immediately took both officers to the back of my car and spoke to them in a hushed tone. After that, one of the officers stayed near his car while one came back, very apologetic. I said all of that to say this: do you see how quickly this could have turned for the worse?” Related: Why does Tyler Perry drive himself to the airport? So many questions. [ TylerPerry.com ]
We need to do something about crazy people having children: A Dallas mother was arrested Monday morning on suspicion of cutting her 1-year-old daughter on her throat. Police said Danielle Busby called 911 and told operators she had cut her child. When officers arrived at the home in the 10900 block of Marchant Circle at about 6:30 a.m., they found the child had been cut with a knife. The child was transported to Children’s Medical Center, where she underwent surgery and was in intensive care Monday night. Doctors put the 1-year-old into a medically induced coma to give her body a chance to heal. “I’m sure that her mind is tormented, because she is the one who actually called the police after it happened,” said Rhonda Choice, Busby’s sister. “And I just can’t imagine what’s all going through her head right now.” Busby’s family said she is a diagnosed schizophrenic who has been on and off her medications. “If you look for the signs, you really can’t prevent it, you know, not on your own, not just family alone,” said Annette Choice, Busby’s mother. “You need intervention.” Police previously were called to the Lake Highlands home about Busby’s mental health. The first call dates back to 2003. Last week, Busby’s sister called police over fears that Busby could hurt herself or her daughter. The responding Dallas police officers determined that Busby and her daughter did not appear to be in any immediate danger. “All I can go by is that the officers who went to out to the scene … they did determine that there was nothing they could do about what was going on because apparently, at that time, there was not something going on that the officers could take any action on,” Deputy Chief Sherryl Scott said. Scott said the officers told a family member to contact Child Protective Services if there were fears about the child’s safety. “I blame the authorities that didn’t respond immediately with this,” Choice said. “And we are to blame, right now. We are to blame — the family is to blame.” Police were also called to the Lake Highlands home last summer. Police said Busby was running down the street, wearing only underwear. Busby, 32, is charged with injury to a child. She is currently being held at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center on $150,000 bail. Her family said she is a Southern Methodist University graduate, a former missionary and a math tutor. Choice said she is asking for prayers for both her daughter and granddaughter. “I love her,” she said. “I am praying for her, and I know she will get better. Hopefully, she’ll be back with her baby as much as possible.” The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services is expected to seek emergency custody of the girl Tuesday.
