Woman Suing City Of Seattle For $1 Million In Police Brutality Case Consequences and repercussions… Via RawStory Seattle woman who suffered a broken eye socket after a police officer punched her in the face while handcuffed in the back of a patrol car filed a $1m claim against the city, alleging assault and arrest without probable cause. The incident was captured by a patrol-car dashboard camera. Seattle police officer Adley Shepherd responded to the scene of a domestic dispute in June 2014, where he arrested Miyekko Durden-Bosley, then 23. The woman allegedly became verbally abusive with the officer, and Shepherd can be heard accusing her of “escalating” the situation on camera. Shepherd handcuffed Durden-Bosley, and she appears to be tossed into the back of a patrol car. Almost immediately after Durden-Bosley lands in the back seat Shepherd yells “She kicked me!” and lunges into the back seat of the car, on top of the woman, the video shows. Shepherd punched Durden-Bosley so severely that she suffered a concussion and a broken orbital socket. Durden-Bosley told Seattle’s KING5 that she had headaches and blurry vision from the punch seven months later. She told KING5 that she doesn’t remember whether she kicked the officer. The Washington state patrol, the Seattle-based federal US attorney and Seattle police launched investigations as a result of the incident, several media outlets reported. And amid high-profile cases of police brutality, such as the killing of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Durden-Bosley’s case has garnered significant public attention. KING5 reported that the Washington state patrol found Shepherd’s actions “inconsistent with the training and policy”, and that “he unnecessarily placed himself in greater danger and caused unnecessary and foreseeable injury to the handcuffed suspect.” Nevertheless, in December, the King County prosecuting attorney Dan Satterberg declined to press charges against Shepherd (who remains on administrative leave), the Seattle Times reported . Satterberg said state law permits officers to use “all necessary means” to subdue an arrestee. We hope she sees every red cent! Image via Atty. Mike Wampold

While Kris Jenner is in meltdown mode, supposedly over the fallout from Bruce’s sex change, his six children are said to be fully in his corner. As difficult and complicated as this situation must be for them, we can’t see how they wouldn’t have his back 100 percent. After all, he’s there dad. Moreover, when a human being feels so lost, so insecure, so uncomfortable in their own’s skin that such a move is necessary for their happiness? The inner turmoil must have been really, really bad prior to that. It’s hard not to feel bad for Bruce, feeling trapped in such a state for so long. We only get one life, after all, and so many trips ’round the sun. Bruce has chosen to live the years he has left not as the person we expect him to be or once we they knew, but as the man (woman?) he is. He is to be commended for this, honestly, because the fallout will invariably become a public relations firestorm fueled by unanswered questions: Will he have surgery and/or hormone treatments? Is he addicted to plastic surgery? If he becomes a woman, will he still be attracted to women ? Only Bruce can properly address these complex, layered topics – if he even knows the answers – and he will reportedly do so in the near future. Until then, scroll through images of the “new” Bruce (above) and from his earlier years to witness the transition thus far, and share your comments: 17 Bruce Jenner Pics: Through the Years 1.

Kendra Wilkinson has posted a new photo on Instagram, sending a very clear message to critics in the process Divorce, Schmivorce! Following many months of supposed marital turmoil – as a result of her husband allegedly cheating on her with a transgender model named Ava London – Kendra is posing here with Hank Baskett and their son, Hank Jr. And they sure look like one happy family, don’t they? Just a few days ago, the rumor mill was churning with talk that Kendra was giving her number out to other guys and making an effort to get over her duplicitous husband. One wouldn’t be able to blame her if that were the case, considering how Baskett humiliated her last year by reportedly receiving a hand job from another woman. Hank has since admitted to stepping out on his wife in some fashion, though details on his affair remain murky at best. Many who watch Kendra on Top online , however, question whether this affair even took place. They believe the couple simply conjured up a story in order to garner ratings for their reality series. But no way would anyone ever dare to do such a thing… right?!? Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett: In Happier Times 1. Kendra and 2 Hanks There was a time when Kendra and Hank looked to be a very happy couple. This photo was snapped in 2012. Wilkinson has gone back and forth many times on how to react to Bakett’s evil actions. At times, she’s been prepared to file divorce papers, according to insiders. But at other times, she wants her family to remain intact for the sake of her son. Right now, at least, it’s pretty clear which path she has chosen.
50 Cent Apologizes To Tatted Up Holly On Instagram Did 50 Cent actually apologize to someone for his social media shenanigans? If you’ll recall, yesterday 50 called out Instagram Model “Tatted Up Holly” as community…um…property — naming off other people he claims the woman has slept with after a site mistakenly identified her as his girlfriend. Realizing that Holly is being personally attacked on social media (or perhaps being careful of all the dirt she has on him), 50 Cent took to Instagram to recant the nasty things he said about her yesterday: Wow…it’s rare to see 50 admit he’s wrong — without some coercion at least . Do you think this apology is sincere… or is 50 trying to smooth things over so Holly won’t unleash her alleged proof of a violent beatdown at his hands?? Hit the flip to see what Holly had to say to all her new followers behind this incident… Instagram
Dear Bossip , So, I met this guy when I was on a short weekend gateway. We both happened to stay in the same hostel and clicked really quickly. He’s from Africa and was travelling around Asia countries, expecting to return home some time four months later. For sake of completion I will just mention that I’m Asian myself and live in Asia too. To cut long stories short, neither of us is denying that we have feelings for each other. We can spend hours talking in the hostel common area til the receptionist thinks we have dated for some time; that’s how good the chemistry was. But, of course, at that time, he was on his tour with two other guy friends, but even before he returns home, he has made some effort to visit me where I live, three times within four months. During that period, we were consistently in touch with each other. We exchanged so much about each other – jobs, careers, past relationships, travel experiences, life goals, etc. I find him very inspiring to me and it’s because I learned so much from the way he lives life that I have decided to quit my job as a lawyer in order to be a happy person. I do think he has made me the best version of myself, if not then at least the happiest version. Whenever we have the chance to be together, it all feels like I found where I belong – it’s homely, it’s comfortable, and I know it’s not just the sex (although yes, that too). Sadly, reality will always be harsh. He’s home been bound some two and half months ago. We’re still keeping in touch – sometimes we talk like friends, sometimes we flirt and sext each other and sometimes we get depressed because we could not share a future together (well, at least not given the current situation). Everything falls apart when I start inquiring as to whether we should make this a relationship, or should we just break the deal. This happened a month ago. We tried no contact, which really broke me within three days; we tried chatting plainly as friends, which eventually he came to admit it’s hard for him (for me too); we tried keeping minimal contact, which made me felt like he’s just purposely ignoring me. But, in the back of our minds, we know that we could not meet in the next two years as he’s going to start his training contract in order to qualify as a lawyer at home, and I know it is hard because I’ve been through the same procedure at home. Due to this, it all became a mess, because he’s made up his mind that he does not want to be in a relationship with someone that he could not see for two years. And, it’s made worse by the fact that he does not know if he wants to continue practicing as a lawyer at home (in order to live up to people’s expectations), or return to Asia for teaching (it’s his passion). I know it’s not fair and I know most guys won’t do a long distance relationship, which is a stretch of two years. As it stands now, we’ve reached the point that we don’t contact each other anymore as it causes too much emotional stir up on both of us. But, I think he deserves a place in my life. I really would like to try again after two years or whenever we have the chance to meet again. It’s just now, I’m not sure why he’s not saying anything about it. I can understand why he doesn’t want a long distance relationship, but at the same time I would very much rather be fighting together for this than to not know what he’s thinking. Do you think it’s worth it for me to keep a special place for him in my heart? I know for a fact that he will shut himself down from any relationship for about a year or so (I know this when we talked about our exes). Every time he takes it for real, so I do have some kind of advantage to roll it back in my hands. Am I just being silly, or truly fighting for something that’s worth it? – From Asia With Love Dear Ms. From Asia With Love , What are you fighting for? You and he were never in a relationship. You and he were not boyfriend and girlfriend, or long term partners. It was a hot fling that lasted a very short period of time. So, please explain to me what you are truly fighting for? (Sips tea) Let’s be clear, you’re in Asia. He is in Africa. That is not even remotely close in proximity. What type of long distance relationship do you really think will happen or occur? Chile, these women get some African d**k and go crazy! I’m sure your short weekend tourist fling with your African lover was amazing, wonderful, and he opened your eyes to some things by sharing his life with you. But, the reality is that he lives in Africa. You are in Asia. He is about to begin a two year program to become a lawyer. He will not have the time, finances, nor the energy to dedicate to you in a long distance relationship. Why fool yourself? Why even think you and he can have any type of intimate relationship for the next two years? It’s not a reality. And, you shouldn’t put your life on hold waiting on him to complete his program. What if he decides to stay in Africa, then what? He can meet another woman during that time, and you can meet another man. Why shut yourself off from the possibility of meeting someone new? Sweetie, it was a weekend filled and packed with a world wind of romance, passionate sex, and blissful lust speaking. He hooked you on that African penis and now you’re talking about you want to spend the rest of your life with him. Honey, you don’t know that much about him. You only know what he told you, and what he shared with you. I’m sure there is much more to his life than what he revealed in a weekend. And, let’s be clear, he’s only visited you three times in four months, and that is while he was in Asia. So, if he came to see you only three times in four months, then what do you think he was doing the other times he was not with you? (Sips tea) If he was really wrapped up in you and really wanted to make it work and he was madly in love with you as you are with him, then don’t you think he would have spent more time with you in those four months? Girl, he only saw you once a month, and one month he didn’t see you at all! D**k is a dangerous drug. And, he got you with that ole’ African d**k. I’m sure he inspired you, and gave you some great wisdom about life, but to up and quit your career as a lawyer is a bit rash. Don’t you find it ironic that, although he was in Asia to teach, but he is back in Africa to become a lawyer. If he was so unhappy and didn’t want to pursue a career as a lawyer, then why go through with the program? Why not stay and teach in Asia, or why not teach in Africa? So, don’t be fooled or too quick to stop your career and pursue your passions, well, not until you have well thought out and devised plan. Why quit your career and you have not fully thought it through, nor have you saved enough money to last you a few months while you pursue your passion? Long story, short: Don’t put your life on hold, or disrupt your life for a man. If he is not willing to disrupt his life or put his life on hold for you, then don’t you bend over backwards, or stop what you’re doing to follow him. Don’t wait on a man if he is not willing to wait on you. And, he’s told you that he is not willing to commit to a long distance relationship, and he is not willing to hold out for two years for you. He’s not making any promises or guarantees that you and he will be together. He is going on with his life, and so should you. And, notice that it’s you who is pursuing him. I bet you are the one doing all the calling, texting, and everything else. He is not chasing after you. Never, ever chase after a man. It was a great time, with great sex, and great conversation. Keep that memory, but soon it will fade. Soon he will be a faded memory of a hot and steamy romance which you had for a short while. Get back into the dating pool and I’m sure you’ll meet another wonderful, smart, inspiring, loving, and caring man who will sweep you off your feet. Just make sure he is local and not from another country or continent. – Terrance Dean Photo source: Shuttershock Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

Sorry, Kim Kardashian . But Ellen DeGeneres is the true queen of the celebrity selfie. Granted, you may win in terms of sheer proliferation of ridiculous self-portraits . But if it’s quality one is seeking over quantity, then Ellen comes out on top. DeGeneres, of course, helped set up the most popular selfie of all-time at the 2014 Academy Awards. And now she’s shared another epic snapshot online, this one featuring the comedian alongside three of music’s biggest names. “@KanyeWest @JustinBieber @SamSmithWorld #BirthdayShow #Backstage #Incredible,” DeGeneres wrote as a caption, while Smith re-posted the cute image on Instagram and simply wrote: “#asyoudo.” All three of these superstars appeared on Ellen this week, with the host able to wrangle some impressive sound bites from West and Bieber. The former admitted that Kim Kardashian has made him a better human being , while Bieber actually opened way up about the mistakes he’s made over the past year and how he wants to be seen in a different light. This photograph is a good start in that case. Better to be fully dressed and hanging with Ellen on social media than to have your shirt off and be grabbing your crotch, JB. There may be hope for you yet. 47 Super Celebrity Selfies 1. Ellen DeGeneres Oscar Selfie Ellen DeGeneres posts the best selfie ever. Literally the best, in terms of re-Tweets.
Kris Jenner is reportedly freaking out over Bruce Jenner’s transition to becoming a woman and the associated TV series documenting his journey. The 65-year-old Olympic champion’s feminine side has long been a point of contention between the former spouses, and now, Kris is going haywire. The Momager to the Stars is said to be in “meltdown mode” over the fact that Bruce‘s shocking life change is being made into a new E! docu-series . She’s not worried about how her former husband of 23 years is navigating this complicated time in his life, mind you, but about the financial fallout. Vintage Kris Jenner. Is anyone even a little surprised at this? “Kris is absolutely in meltdown crisis mode over Bruce’s decision to go public with his decision to transition to becoming a woman,” an insider said. She’s been in denial or years, apparently, but in light of recent events, “Kris thinks it’s extremely selfish for Bruce to be doing this at this time.” “Their oldest daughter, Kendall Jenner, is at the height of a modeling career, and Kris doesn’t want anything to jeopardize that,” or her cut of her payments. Kris, the source says, is “very concerned about the fallout.” The fact that Bruce isn’t also makes his ex-wife insane. “As always, the only thing Kris cares about is herself. But Bruce could not care less what Kris is feeling, and that drives her even more out of her mind.” Probably a nice perk for him after 23 years of … her. 15 Photos of Bruce Jenner Looking Sort of Like a Woman 1. Bruce Jenner: Becoming a Woman? Bruce Jenner is a very lucky man. He no longer has to live in the same house as Kris Jenner. Reports on how Bruce’s children and stepchildren are holding up vary. Kim Kardashian, perhaps most notably, voiced public support for Bruce. However, other sources believe that behind closed doors, Kylie Jenner, Kim and Kanye West are upset by the whole thing unfolding as well. Meanwhile, Bruce’s sons Brandon and Brody Jenner, from his previous married to Linda Thompson, “have absolutely no use for Kris at this point.” “This is about their father,” says an insider, and they support him all the way. “For Kris to be complaining or concerned about the fallout is just disgusting.” “Everyone should rally around Bruce and respect his wishes.” It’s Bruce’s story to tell, though, as Kim said, and he’s apparently going it alone whether they like it or not, in conjunction with E! and GLAAD. Jenner, the network and the organization are working together in preparation for a reality series documenting the former sports star’s transformation. E! and GLAAD, a prominent gay rights organization, are each working hard to ensure that such delicate subject manner is handled appropriately. “It’s in the very beginning stages, but it’s a go,” a source said of the Bruce Jenner transition show, though no title or timetable has been established. 17 Bruce Jenner Pics: Through the Years 1.

Gun Range Owner Bans Muslims And Sees Steep Increase In Business We posted a story about this woman and her gun range last October and now she’s gettin’ gwap hand-over-fist! Via Breitbart In the five months since Hot Springs, Arkansas, gun range owner Jan Morgan banned Muslims from her facilities, she has seen business quadruple. She has also faced threats and the prospect of lawsuits, which so far, have not materialized. Morgan owns Gun Cave Indoor Firing Range. According to Fox News, Morgan decided to ban Muslims after “two customers she deemed suspicious” showed up in September. Since that time, she has excluded those “she believes to be Muslim based upon their names.” Morgan sees it as a safety issue. She said, “We are dealing in lethal firearms. I am not going to let a Nazi shoot in here, or a Ku Klux Klan member in here, either.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has written Attorney General Eric Holder asking him to intervene. In the letter, CAIR said, “Given the recent spike in anti-Muslim rhetoric, including Islamophobic statements by government officials, community leaders and media outlets, death threats, and other bias incidents targeting Muslims, I urge you to investigate this matter soon.” CAIR argued that banning Muslims from the shooting range “is a violation of federal laws prohibiting racial and religious discrimination.” The ACLU is also asked the DOJ to do something about Morgan’s policies, and they want to talk to any Muslim who gets turned away from Morgan’s shooting range. But Morgan is standing her ground. She compared “offering target practice to potential terrorists to flight schools offering lessons to the 9/11 terrorists.” A caption on an image of Morgan with a gun says, “I am the infidel your imam warned you about.” Only in ‘Merikkka.
