Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

Body camera footage shows police fatally shoot naked man Police tased and then fatally shot a naked man after a confrontation on a Virginia highway earlier this month. Richmond police released the body camera footage of the May 14 incident today. The footage shows police approaching a car that had been driven off a highway, with an officer ordering the driver to stay in the car. The officer is heard telling someone on a radio that the person "seems to be mentally unstable." Moments later, the naked driver, later identified as Marcus-David Peters, runs out of the car towards the highway. He was struck by a car and begins rolling around the highway.

Trump has just begun forcing detained immigrants to wear yellow insignias President Donald Trump’s most monstrous policy is finally becoming a reality. The Border Patrol and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agencies have begun separating migrant children from their parents and placing them in  military warehouses  while their parents are locked away in ICE’s concentration camps. But there is another, somehow even darker, detail to the story that the administration failed to announce.

Officer involved in 'vegetation' traffic stop no longer with Winfield Police Department The officer at the center of the "vegetation" traffic stop in Winfield is no longer with the department, Winfield Police Chief Brett Stone confirmed on Friday. Officer Sean Skov left the department Thursday. Stone couldn't say if it was because of the traffic stop. He also declined to say if Skov left on his own volition or if he was let go. When a black man was pulled over by police in Winfield on May 13, his car was searched after Skov said he found "vegetation" in the window, video shows. Rudy Samuel  went live on Facebook  at 5:40 p.m. that day and said in the video that police told him he had been pulled over for allegedly failing to signal a turn within 100 feet.

DONALD TRUMP SAYS ‘OUR ANCESTORS TAMED A CONTINENT' AND ‘WE ARE NOT GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR AMERICA’ President Donald Trump said at a Naval Academy commencement address Friday that “our ancestors tamed a continent,” adding that “we are not going to apologize for America.” "Together there is nothing Americans can't do, absolutely nothing," Trump told 2018 graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy. “In recent years, and even decades, too many people have forgotten that truth. They've forgotten that our ancestors trounced an empire, tamed a continent, and triumphed over the worst evils in history."

Minnesota Student Beats Black Teacher But Walks Free A Minnesota student who viciously beat a Black teacher was released without bail Thursday after a court hearing. Corey David Burfield , 18, of St. Paul, was charged with one count of first-degree assault and one count of third-degree assault in the violent beating of school aide  Mohammed Dukuly  on Tuesday (May 22) at Harrison Education Center, an alternative high school in Minneapolis. District Judge  William Koch  determined that Burfield, who is white, was not a flight risk during the student’s appearance in Hennepin County District Court. Burfield was allowed to walk, only having to submit to electronic home monitoring and keeping away from Dukuly. The student also is required to meet with a mental health professional, the  Minneapolis Star Tribune  reported.

Border Patrol slightly changes account of undocumented woman's fatal shooting The Webb County medical examiner has identified the 20-year-old victim from the CBP shooting as Claudia Patricia Gomez Gonzalez. Her family released this photo. United States Customs and Border Protection on Friday released a slightly different account of a  border agent's fatal shooting of an undocumented migrant  near Nuevo Laredo, Texas, raising new questions about what actually happened. After initially reporting the agent was attacked by migrants armed with "blunt objects," the federal agency on Friday said only that the group "rushed" the officer after ignoring orders to get on the ground. But its latest version of events makes no mention of blunt objects described in an agency statement issued after Wednesday's shooting in the border town of Rio Bravo.

Why we're not hearing much from Colin Kaepernick on the NFL anthem decision This week  the NFL announced a controversial new policy  that will require players on the field to "stand and show respect for the flag and for the Anthem." Players who do not wish to do so must stay in the locker room. If players violate the policy, the team will be fined. So far, Kaepernick has not commented on the new policy, and a lot of NFL fans aren't holding their breath. There are a few reasons for this.
